Watts, Galsworthy, and Galsworthy, 19, Ely place, Holborn SEcarrlay—Samuel Stanway, Esq . The first line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Loughborough station on the Midland Coanties line, and pro ceed through the Vale of Sheepshead, to Pegs Green Colliery, near to the terminus of the Leicester and Swannington Rail way, and from thence through the coal fields of Swannington and Cole-Orton to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It will thence proceed across the Moira Coal Field and through the rich agricultural districts of Seal, Clifton Campville, and Edingale to the Birmingham and Derby Railway, which it will cross near to Elford Park Farm, and thence traverse the valley of the Tame until it reaches Alrewas, where it will form a junction with the branch of the Trent Valley ,ine now in progress of making. At this point it also meets the proposed South Staffordshize line, by which means it reaches Lichfield, and by means of one of the proposed lines it will afford communication with Bir mingham. Sty means of its junction with the Trent Valley line at Alrewas the Grand Trunk reaches colwich, and there meets the proposed North Trent e 7 Vallet.sl Stafford, thus stattordshire line, which proceeds through the heart of the Potteries to Newcastle-under-Line, Leek, and Macclesfield. By means also c ' e f ed th s e thr sa o m ug e h A l r e was completingthe Grand i its Trunk rut e parnod forming a connecting line between the Midland and Grand Junction Railways. This braneh of the line was formerly surveyed by Mr. Itastrick, and approved of by him as a canal communication, so that no engineering difficulties exist. The second line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Derby station, and taking the course of the Derby Canal proceed to Chellaston, where there are extensive plaster-works, and thence by Swarkestone to the river Trent, which it will cross near to the ferry at Weston Cliffe, and procetd to Kings Newton and Melbourne. From the latter place it will pass by the village of Wilson to Breedon-on-the-Hill, where there are extensive lime-works, and thence proceed by Staunton Harold, communicat ing by a branch line with the lead, lime, and coal works there ; thence by the Lount Colliery to Worthington Rough, where it will follow the line of the Cole-Orton and Swannington Railway until its junction with the first line of the Grand Trunk at or near the Pegs green Colliery, and so proceed from thence to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. At Ashby-de-la-Zouch the Grand Trunk forms a junction with the proposed Nottingham and Birmingham, and with the proposed Great Manchester, Rugby, and Southampton Railways. Its importance as a line for passengers is too obvious for comment, forming as it does a complete junction between those two griat thoroughfares, the Mid land and Grand Junction Railways, and by its branch from Derby to Ashby-de-la-Zouch another complete junction between the Great Northern and Southern lines now in progress, thus opening a direct line of communication to all parts of the kingdom. As a line for traffic, the Grand Trunk will form the most direct transit to the Leicestershire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire iron and coal fields, to the Burton breweries, to North and South Wales, and Ireland to Scotland, and all parts of the north, and to the eastern, southern, and western parts of the empire. It will also be the nearest and most direct communication from the east to the north western manufacturing districts, as well as become the great route from all parts of the kingdom to the midland counties of England. The mineral resources are of the very highest order. The Moira coal field Is inexhaustible, whilst the coal beds at Staunton Harold &One comprise the finest quality of Kennel to a depth of seven feet, with a super stratum of main coal to a depth of six feet. The sub stratum is yet to be worked. There are beds of Kennel and main et) al at Cole Orton of equal quality, though net of equal depth with those of Staunton Harold, whilst the main coal at Swannington is un rivalled, being, in fact, the bowl of the Leicestershire and Derbyshire coal strata. It is needless to describe the beneficial results which must arise from this opening of the midland coal district to the Lon don and southern markets. At Staunton Harold and Calke exist rich veins of lead ore, now in full course of working. The properties of the Bre edon, Staunton Harold, and Ticknall lime are so well known to agriculturists and others, that an extension of traffic for so valuable a commodity into mare remote districts must be of the utmost importance to the practical farmer. In approaching the Trent, on leaving the lime district, the Grand Trunk will fall in with most valuable quarries of millstone grit, ser viceable for paving and building purposes, and for which a ready market would be found along the line. The country also abounds in gypsum, of which immense quantities are used in Birming ham and elsewhere : these markets will thus become opened for the quarries at Chillaston. A new and extensive outlet will also be opened for the earthenware of Wooden Box and Griesley Potteries. Until the Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs will be under the control of the Committee of Management, to whom power is given to allot the shares and apply the funds of the Company in payment of all proper expenses in the formation of the Company and otherwise. Power will be applied for in the Act, and In the meantime the Committee of Management take power, to alter or extend the lines, to make branch lines, to abandon any part of the line, to raise addi tional capital, and to enter into arrangements with any other Com pany or F shwa sngsl be made, in the form annexed, to the Application rq solicitors to the Company, Meow.

Hankey and Co., London Messrs. Tanner and Pinckney, Hungerford and Caine The Wilts and Dorset banking Company, Marlborough The North Wilts Banking Company, Chippenham South Wales, abounding in natural harbours and mineral pro ductions, and celebrated for the magnitude and excellence of its manunctures, is justly esteemed, both in a naval and commercial point of view, as one of the most important districts of Great Britain. Its connexion with London has become of such paramount im portance as to demand the most direct and perfect communication that can possibly be established. This is the main object of the pro posed undertaking. This Railway will proceed from London to Hungerford by the Great Western Railway, there leaving that railway and running almost in a straight line by Marlborough, Caine, and Chippenham, where it will again join the Great Western Railway : thus giving to the towns of Marlborough and Caine (which at present have no railway) a direct communication with London ; and also with Bath, Bristol, the South Western Counties of England and South Wales. From Chippenham the line will pass near Chipping Sodbury, and proceed to the Bristol and Gloucester Railway at Westerleigh (about eight miles from Bristol), and by a junction with that rail way the direct line from London to Bristol will be completed. From Westerleigh the line will be continued to the river Severn at Aust, and be carried across that river by means of the fixed bridge of the Bristol and Liverpool Junction Railway. On the Monmouth shire side of the river it will proceed for another half mile over the river Wye, direct to, and terminate at, the South Wales Railway, near to Hunger Pill. - This last half mile will of itself effect a saving in distance between London and South Wales of about four miles. By taking advantage, as far as possible, of existing railways, this project will complete at once the most direct and best trunk-line from London to Bath, Bristol, and the South-Western Coanties of England ; but mere especially to Chepstow, Newport, Cardiff, Swan sea, Milford Haven, the whole of South Wales, and Ireland. The following are the savings in distance effected by the proposed line Between London and Bath, via Hungerford, the pro posed line as far as Chippenham, and the Great Western Railway . about 7 miles. Between London and Bristol, via Hungerford, the proposed line as far as Westerleigh, and the Bristol and Gloucester Railway. ... about 8 Miles. Between London and the whole of South Wales, via the Great Western Railway, the proposed tunnel under the Severn at Hock Crib, and the South Wales Itailviay to Hunger Pill.. • Between London and the whole of South Wale ,, , via the Great Western, and the Bristol and Liverpool Junction Railways •• . These great savings in distance are by no means the principal features of the undertaking. By this direct communication between London and Bristol the Box tunnel will be entirely avoided, an irn ;portant fact which will no doubt have a most powerful effect with passengers. Moreover passengers to and Prom South Wales will be enabled to travel at all times by means of the fixed bridge over the Severn at the Aust or Old Passage; thus avoiding on the one hand the well knowndangers,lnconvenienees, delays, and difficulties of the open ,ferry of two miles and a half, at the New Passage, proposed by the Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway Company; and, on the other hand, the tunnel of about a mile under the Severn, proposed by the South Wales Railway Company, which (even if capable of con struction) must ever leave the public apprehensive of accident. Reference to a Map will clearly demonstrate that the great stream of passengers and traffic between London, Bristol, the South-Western Counties and Ireland will flow through the proposed line and South Wales to Milford Haven and Flshguard Harbour. The establishment 'of Valentia, as the chief out-port to the Canadas and the United States; will moreover create a traffic, via South Wales, never hitherto contemplated. . But supposing Valentia should not become that out port, there can be no doubt that Milf or d H aven , from its extreme western position and natural advantages, must. Independently of the passenger traffic above referred to, the faci lities which the line will afford to the unequalled iron works of South Wales, and the extensive copper and tin works of Swanseaand Neath must induce the manufacturer to transmit his goods with safety,.economy, and rapidity, by rail, rather than with hazard and delay by sea. A new and most important market will be opened to the owners of collieries in' South Wales. Newport will be brought within 129 miles of London ; and it may be confidently asserted that the Metro polis will draw an immense supply of coal from that neighbourhood, inasmuch as coal of most excellent quality can be delivered ill Lon don from the Welsh Collieries at about 15s. per ton. The principal advantages of direct railway communication between important termini are now too universally admitted both by PUHA mutt and the public, to need argument. Many important direct lines have been already nivourably received ; .but when the savings in distance —the avoidance of a ferry and tunnels—the new channels for traffic— the giving of railway accommodation to a large district—and the PiltriVishrflot . 9f the olost direct and VinlltelO • trreelitntlncat and Bath, ttristel, and 'Eloutn ivalefi'are iecollett and especially that Giese' important benefits can be obtained by the • formation of a line fifty-twa miles only in length—it is confidently as lefted that the ProPesed railway holds out advantages superior to pftetviii ,itt VW' Pic lhA 1 4 ope pt e molt pre ta, InvestMenta ever 9 e ohe nubWillc, The subscribers will be held liable only to the extent of their first deposits, until an Act of Parliament is obtained, and afterwards onIT to the atponni of tin* onialeriptiona, Vntil an Act of parliament shall be ohtain,e Company shall be under tile IPanageMent Cla c mit the re} of the Cm mittee.of Manaiternent, as appointed, d, affaira Of the Power will' be applied for in the Act—and in the meantime is hereby given to the Committee of Management—to increase the capital, if necessary ; to alter or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into arrangements with Vi c th porn- MY or porupanies and also to nominate the first Ditors of the Company.

The royal mail steamer Severn, Captain Vincent, arrived at South ampton from the West Indies yesterday morning. She brings the usual dates, namely, from St. Jago de Cuba, 10th of August ; Jamaica, 23d ; Ilayti, 25th ; Puerto Rico, 27th ; and from to windward. Demerara, 19th ; Barbadoes, 24th, with successive dates down the islands until she left St. Thomas's on the 30th of August. This steamer brings about GO tons of cargo, consisting of coffee, ginger, sarsaparilla, pimento, arrowroot, vegetable ivory, 69 ounces of gold dust, and some bullion, and several passengers, The weather in Jamaica had been excessively dry and hot, the ther mometer reaching at times 95 degrees in the shade. Kingston was somewhat unhealthy, fever and considerable Influenza having shown itself; rain, however, had fallen and continued for several days after the steamer left. The revels of the Ist of August had not quite passed off, but it is remarked that each successive year they become shorter and more subdued ( a satisfactory omen to planters), as it sends them sooner to work. The failure of a considerable mercantile house, for 150,0001., at St. Jago de Cuba, has left the English mining speculators of that place minus 25,0001. The assets of the house, it is believed, will not realise more than 25 per cent., and the property has further diminished by passing through a Spanish court of law. Between 2,000 and 3,000 tons of British shipping were loading and waiting for copper ore: Times. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GREENWICH. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE. — Yesterday the of the late Steven son Seavers, Esq., in the Blackheath-road, attracted a great number of persons, in consequence of a warrant having been placed In the hands of the police, to make a forcible entrance into the premises for arrears of assessed taxes. Every means had been resorted to to evade pay ment and prevent an ingress by the widow and daughter of deceased, who kept several persons on the premises to resist the enforcement of the law. The interior of the house had been barricaded with the strongest timbers and iron fastenings, so as to defy ordinary means of attack. At twelve o'clock, however, Edward Legh, Esq., Chairman. and John Sutton, Esq., one of the Commissioners of Taxes, accompa nied by Messrs. Smith and Flinch, clerks to the Board, Frederick George Hammond, Esq., late a county magistrate, and landlord of the house, headed Man inspector of police, three sergeants, and a posse of constables, proceeded to the gate, rang the bell, and knocked ; receiving no answer, a wheelwright named Mack stepped forward with a sledge hammer, and !commenced the work of destruction by smashing ii the panels of the doors, which were strongly lined with iron plates. At this memeut Mrs. Seavers put her head out of an upper window, rang a bell, and asked the police what they wanted. If it was the taxes, she was ready to pay. Ingress having been effected, the land lord tbllowed, and found the house divested of nearly the whole of the tbrniture which he had let with the premises for a term ofthree years. Mrs. Seavers, her daughter, and two men, who had offered resist ance to the law, were then taken into custody, and conveyed before the magistrate at the Police-court. Mrs.Seavers and her daughter were first placed at the bar, charged sit the instance of 31r. Hammond with feloniously removing a large quantity of furniture, &c., from the premises. The prisoners, who gave their names Catherine and Maria Seaters, were dressed in deep mourning. • Frederick Geo. Hammond, Esq., of Notley Park, Kent, deposed that he let the house and furniture to Mr. Seavers for a term of years. He had taken every legal means to get payment of his rent, and had long suspected the house had been despoiled of the furniture. He found • on entering with the tax-collector that not only ihrniture and music had been clandestinely removed, but four coppers had been pulled down. The property removed consisted of furniture, a guitar, rugs, curtains, decanters, carpets, a variety of ornaments, &c. The police had found 91 duplicates hidden in the garden by the younger prisoner, which he had no doubt related to most of the missing articles. John White, 181 R, deposed that he found a red bag buried under some loOse earth adjoining the summer -house, which he could call a witness to prove had been placed there by Miss Seavers, after pos session had been obtained ; it contained 91 duplicates for all kinds of property, pledged at various pawnbrokers, in the name of Thomson. Sergeant Fenn, 31 R, deposed that he apprehended Miss Seavers, who denied all knowledge of the bag_ and duplicates, or of the pro perty missing.

William Joseph Perkins, a butcher, deposed that he was employed by Mr. Hammond, and accompanied Cozens, the officer, to effect a levy for rent. The male prisoners resisted violently, assisted by others not In custody, and he was forced into the road. Collins used a poker and threatened his life. Evan Thomas deposed that h e saw Miss Scavers go and deposit the bag containing the duplicates close to the summer -house, under some mould, which she scratched with her hand. Mr GROVE said he should remand the prisoners for a few days, in order to afford time for the police to trace the missing property. He would, however, take sufficient bail for their appearance. Mr. Hammond pressed for heavy bail, as the property involved itt the transaction was of considerable value. Mr.. GRovE said he should require the female prisoners to give Vim responsible sureties in 1001. each respectively, and themselves in SOM. each; and for the other prisoners 201. each, and themselves in 40/. • The prisoners, not being prepared with bail, were removed in cirs. tody of the gaoler, to be sent to Maidstone prison in default. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—Last night, shortly 'before eleven o'clock, the servant of Captain Ryan, R.N., wIK has been staying for some weeks past with his nephew, G. Mervin, Esq., of Charlotte-street, Portland-place (after the family had retired to rest), who slept in the third story, was found in his night dress, lying upon the pavement, bleeding profusely, his night-dress being sa turated with blood . Re was picked np Insensible, and, a surgeon was immediately sent for, when it was found that tho young man had broken hii collar-bone, besides other severe injurPes. It is supposed that the accident occurred through the poor fejow walking in his sleep.

Offices, 1, Old Jewry, Sept. 16, 1845. PROSPECTUS. The object of this line of Railway is to complete the chain of coast communication, and form a connexion with lines already established or projected with reasonable hopes of success. It will commence at or near the city of Limerick, and taking a nor therly direction, proceed through the counties of Clare, Galway, Mayo, and Sligo, terminating at Sligo, by a junction with the Sligo and Ennis killen Railway, and accommodating on its route the important cities and towns of Limerick, Ennis, Govt., Loughrea, Athenry, Monivea, Tuam, Ballinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Manna, Kilalla, Swineford, Streanjatown, and Sligo, which town being connected with the north, east, and south, by the different lines through Enniskillen, London derry, Coleraine, Belfast, Armagh, Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda, Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Killarney, Valentia, Tralee, and Limerick, the establishment of this line will cause Ire land to present a completeness of locomotive communication which no other country in the world enjoys. The country through which the proposed line travels is most fertile In mineral and agricultural products ; it embraces many extensive coal fields, whose advantages it will extend to all parts of Connaught and Ulster; and intersecting, as it does, so many metropolitan lines of railway, it will develope those advantages in an equal degree to the province of Leinster. The lead, iron, marble, and slate works on its route, will be rendered available to the most distant parts of the island, and perhaps not the least advantage, in a national point of view, will be the 6stAblishment of an intercourse between the population of the extreme north and that of the extreme south, as well as placing the trade Of, and eommUtlidetlon with, Scotland, within the easy reach of all towns of any importance in Ireland. Added to this the cer tainty that on the completion of' the pojeded southern, eastern, and western lines, the noble natural harbours on the Atlantic shore of Ireland will become the British depots of American traffic, and most probably the established packet stations for postal communication between the two countries, it is impossible to over-rate the value of this truly national projection, The counties which this railway traverses ebtindantly supply the English markets with cattle, pigs, &c. This line, communicating with so many ports, will afford the greatest facilities for the shipping of this portion of trade, some idea of the extent of which may be formed from the fact of upwnrcis Of five hundred fairs being held annually in its immediate vicinity, ameng them, the fair of Ballinasloe, ac knowledged the greatest for sheep and eattle in the British islands. It has been ascertained that the country presents great engineering acilities for the construction of a railway, and in gnminunications which have been received from the landowners along the line, the greatest anxiety is manifested for its completion. The subscribers will be held liable only to the extent of their first deposits until an Act of Parnament is obtained, and afterwards only to the amount of their subscriptions. Power will be applied for in the Act—and in ttic ITlPaßtime Is hereby given to the Committee—to alter the capital, if necessary ; to vary or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into arrangements with any other company or companies ; and also to nominate the first directors of The company. The Parliamentary contract and subscribers' agreement will be reach' for signature on payment of the deposits. It will be seen from the plan that the railway intersects many main lines, and will thus gpntribute to, and receive from them a con siderable amount in pieseuger and merchandise traffic. From the estimate;thataliel*q made, a return of at least 10 per cent. must be realised on the capital: Application for shares to be made in the usual krrn to the Sgliei tors in London and Dublin ; to the Local Agents ; to ihe SecretaFy, at the office of the Company, 10, Aid .iewry Chambers ; and to the undermentioned brokers !--Messrs.

RAILWAY RETURNS. RAILWAY TZAFFIC.—The following are the Total Receipts of Rail ways for the past week—that is to say, up to the date to which the respective returns are made, together with the receipts of the same week in the previous year: THE NEW RAILWAYS. (From the Berkshire Chronicle of Sept. 6.) The competition which has arisen between the rival lines to pass through this county southward and east ward, is really amusing. All those we enumerated in our two last publications are still eager for support, and almost clamorous in the advocacy of their superior ad vantages. The "Tring, Reading, and Basingstoke" Com pany issued their prospectus yesterday. It states that by the proposed line the toute from Manchester to Southampton will be many miles shorter ; and sooner brought into operation than either OP!. of the Manches ter and Southampton, or the ( Ilford, Southampton, &c., Junction. A " Reading knd Reigate Junction" project is also more fully announced, but we hear that there are at least two other schemes with a similar object in the field, with same slight deviations in detail. Looking at the map, the proposed line must save a great detour to travellers to the south-eastern coast and the Continent, but its disadvantage is that there are few towns of importance between the two tet mini. At the same time, the " through " traffic would doubtless be considerable. The " South and Mid lands Junction" is a new scheme, barely a week old, but it aims at greater results. The route is to be from Bicester, by way of Witne Lechlade, and " keepi ng within easy di s t ances of Farringdon, Cricklade, and Righworth, it falls into the G rea t Western line at Swindon. The capital is to be 1,280,000/. The " Bristol and Dover Direct" is another, new project. It offers to commence at Devizes, pass through Ludger shall, Andover, Whitchurch, Basingstoke, Odiham, and Farnham, to Godalming, where other projects would continue it to Reigate. There is no end of plans to convey passengers to the south, The very last we have seen is one to be called the " Cheltenham, Brighton; Folkestone, and Dover ;" the only particulars yet stated are that it is to go " from Cheltenham as direct as possible to. Brighton, with a branch from about Basingstoke to Reigate." This Would intersect Berkshire from Farringdon to Newbury. The Kennet and Avon Conversion Railway is an nounced, and it excites much interest, both from the no velty of the plan and the large stake held in the old property by capitalists in this and the neighbouring counties. The public of Newbury, after being treated with utter neglect for some time past by the Great and South- Western Companies, are now solicited, flattered, and canvassed, by a whole swarm of projectors. We believe that most exaggerated expectations of local benefit are raised, to end in certain disappointment. That a large number of persons would travel southward through Newbury by an Oxford and Southampton line cannot be doubted, but how few of them would atop may . easily be guessed. Nor will we deny the local convenience rail ways will afford to the inhabitants, and that, after all, is the chief reason they are desirable. Reading, with all its long-standing advantages of railway communication, has not been so enormously benefited as was predicted and expected, and Newbury has no right to expect more than Reading, if so much. There are forty or fifty thousand passengers by the Great Western weekly by and from the town, but what is the amount of advantage to the inhabitants ? In the meantime, while these projects are advancing, the linei already formed will receive a great accession of traffic. They will always command the best of the carrying trade, and will, by their Parliamentary influ ence, crush many of the competing schemes. The immmense crowd of applications for new Acts will be thrown out with little ceremony. The task of legislating for all is an impossible one, and we shall therefore see a wholesale rejection of the great ma jority. Too much was done last session, and the strongest feeling exists, that there shall be some check to the hasty and clamorous demands for new lines. Those will have the preference where there is the least competition, and obvious• utility, and new companies must wait with patience their turn, which will be two or three years hence at least. Some will have found their level before that time, and those which ha ve e strength and vitality will reap . an advantage by t h e delay. The speculators in scrip ought to be wary in deed, especially as persons buying for investment w i ll , in these times of artificial prices, naturally pref er t h e great trunk lines, as much more secure, and being com paratively neglected by =ere speculators, much cheaper, and certain to derive much increasing profits for some years to ( ome. Since writing the above we have received the pro spectus of the Reading and Reigate Railway. It will be seen that the scheme possesses the great advantage of a very powerful directory, embracing gentlemen of local influence and station. This will give it a decided pre ference over other projects which have n o t this essential recommendation, and unless any other plan should be suggested with superior local support—which we can no t anticipate—we have no• d ou b t this railway will easily obtain legislative h n otion. ' Nor will it meet with that opposition from the Great Western and South-Western Companies which o s t_he2lians—more or less conflicti n g with their i n t erest excite.' We have 'no doubt that this line will be very popular here.' - • TAUNTON .—A match came off lagt week between Captain Price and Moore, leap a horse over the four turn pike gates within fl giv e 4 tints .
