miles of line radiating from Manchester to the matufac turing districts of Bury, Rossendale, Heywood, and Old ham, are to be commenced, -at a disbursement of one million of capital. The Nottingham and Lincoln, 33 miles, and Syston and Peterborough, 47, are to be begun in the Mid t. - land districts, who open their constructive ex.ehever of one acid a half, Upwards of 150 miles of line by the Oxford and Rugby, and Oxford and Worcester and Wol . terhampton lines, are to be hewn (nit by the Great Western Rail Way, Who have already commenced the future high way to the districts of iron and hardware, and to A Uniting point with the Grand Junction at Wol verhampton, the total cost being calculated at two millions. The Great Western have been more successful than any other Company in their Parliamentary diplomacy last session. They obtained no fewer than eight lines, the construction of which will soon be commenced ; namely, the Bristol and Exe ter branches, twenty-nine miles, capital 500,000/. ; the Mon month and Hereford, thirty-six miles, capital, 550,000/. ; the Newport and Pontypool, thirteen miles, capital,ll9,ooo/. ; the Oxford and Rugby, fifty miles, capital 600,000/. • the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, 103aniles, capi tal 1,500,000/ ; the South Wales, 182 miles, capital 2,800,000/. ; the Berks and "rants, thirty-nine miles, capital 400,000/. ; and the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line, 129 miles, capital 1,500,0001. This gives a total length of new lines to the Great Western to construct, of nearly 500 miles, and a total capital of between 7,000,000/. and 8,000,0001. If to this be added the present length the Great Western has in actual working, namely 220 miles, including Bristol and Exeter, and Cheltenham and Oxford branches, which with the main line have cost 7,717,0431., it appears that, with the amount of capital to be raised for the construction of the schemes sanctioned last session, the Great Western will have more than doubled both its capital and length, the former, which before its close of last session was 7 ,717,043/., being increased to nearly 16,000,0001., and the latter, which was 220 miles, being increased to 720, thus placing the Company in possession of a prospective dominion, exceeding by upwards of 100 miles Mr. Hudson's amplitude of terri tory. The Shrewsbury, Oswestry, and Chester also commence their twenty-three miles into the mining districts, at a contemplated outlay of 410,000/., and the South-Western, their Southampton and Dorchester, sixty-two miles, at a cost of 500,000/. The Trent Valley line works, forty-nine miles, will commence at the Birmingham line at Rugby, and run into the Grand Junction at Stafford, at a cost of 1,250,000/. The Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole will scatter its capital of half-atmilliqn over twenty,severi miles between its termini and the extension lines round Yarli, cif about fifty miles, will be the means of circulating amongst its labouring classes at least half a million. In Scotland, the Caledonian, Aberdeen, Scottish Central, Clydesdale Junction, and other great routes, are already throwing labour into the hands of the Scottish population, the works on each of them having been vigorously commenced. The millions of British capital thus being expended are only the seeds of a great monetary harvest, that must yield millions More. The total amount of money that will be set in circula tion and expended on the construction of these projects is 29,000,0001. sterlingl The total length of new railways to be constructed is 1,793 miles, which, added to the 1 • miles at present in operation, shnure• • -,, , ,J i..eat while the new lines of last session have just equalled the old ones in length, they have ab out belt' efAt\alled them in capital—the cost of constructing the lines at present in existence having amounted to 70,000,000/. There is every prebahility that the lines of the ens uin g session will multiply the capital -" those of the preceding one twice over, and it ' weary arithmetic to calculate on the - be employed in their form.`'" , vuid almost multitude of men to _..un.—Chronicle. SOUTHAUPTON, IVIANCFIESTER, AND OXFORD JUNCTION (PARSON'S LINE.) SWINDON' BATURDAT.—This afternoon a meeting of the landowners and inhabitants of Swindon and its vicinity was held at the Goddard Arms Tavern, in pursuance of a requisition signed by fifty-two residents. The meeting consisted of nearly every gentleman and tradesman, in the town. Mr. Ambrose Goddard, the largest landowner in the district, presided. The meeting was also attended by a numerous deputation from the Committee of management, comprising Lieutenant-Colonel Elrington, Major Croft, Major Morse Cooper, C. E. Bigge, Esq., J. M‘Millan, E 543., J. B. Payne, Esq., L. Pocock, Esq., W. Prawns, Esq. (projector of the line), an H. Renton, C.E. Mr. WHEELER opened the business. The proposed line offered great accommodation to the town, would be highly beneficial to Re markets, and conducive to the interests of the neighbourhood.—(Hear, hear.) Swindon, in every point of view, would reap vast advantages from its forma tion.—(Hear, hear.) Major MORSE COOPER said, so satisfied was he of the great benefits which Swindon would derive from the facility of railway communication which this line presented, that it had almost, as it were, become a necessity that they should have it constructed as quickly as possible.--(Hear, hear.) They had every prospect of being successful ; for they had amongst the members of their Committee first-rate men— men of title, and fortune, and plenty of money to work with.--(Rear, hear.) 11 `.04 Pansom, after alluding to the powerful support his line had received, said, with respect to the line itself, if the meeting would refer to the ma;p they would see that it was in the first place proposed as local object, to afford increased facilities of transit to the 'rich and thickly populated district of North Wilts, Hants, and Berks, hitherto but imperfectly supplied with railway accommodation, and that the ammo , plisbment of so comprehensive a scheme would require only about sixty miles of railway to be constructed. The course proposed to be taken was to commence near the Andover road station of the South Western Railway, the point at which that line commenced its direct southern course, and then passing near Whitchurcb, in a northerly direction, to diverge into two branches, about four miles south of High elere. One branch would go direct to Hungerford, near Ramsbary, by Aldbourne to Swindon, when it would proceed to a termination at the Swindon station of the Great Western Railway, thus falling in with the existing rail ways to Gloucester, Cheltenham, Birmingham, Man chester, and thence on to Liverpool, and the projected lines through Wales. The other branch woad, take a direct northern course, byNewbrJry and Ilsley, to the Didcot station of the vet 7,r' a ii ern Railway, at which place it would join the S;_f or a an d Rugby Line, which was in di artct,ccuurTr':—ca-tion with all the northern lines ; and thus _ two great arterial lines of railway in the north-weft and north, running north and south, and. communicating with the innumerable ramifications in the Potteries, the manufactu ring and coal districts, and Scotland, would be led to, and united in one common trunk line leading direct to Ports mouth and Southampton.—(Hear, hear.) This being the Mir he night fairly say, that when this line was completed a nger would be able to get into one carriage and ride by means of railways from one end of the kingdom to the other.—(Hear.) The farmers would be able at once to select the best markets to which, at a cheap and quick rate, they could forward their produce. There would be one tunnel, of about three-quarters of a mile in length, near the Three Crosalegged-hill, at High.clere. The Learned Gentleman then entered into a minute detail of the peculiarities of the line itself, and remarked that the distance of rail would be about sixty miles, which would be completed for 900,000/., a stun which, when speaking of railway transactions, was now a-days regarded as a trifling affair. A resolution in favour of the line was then moved by Mr. PATER, and seconded by Mr. PERKS. Mr. BRADFORD moved an amendment, to the effect that any expression of opinion in favour of a particular line would be premature, until the advantages of the other had been heard, seeing that there were no fewer than seven proposing to run by Swindon. Mr. (Noway seconded the amendment. Mr. SEWELL, of Cirenc i eter, submitted that the line which el%red the greatest advantages to Swindon was the South ampton and Manchester. The Learned Gentleman entered into a lengthened detail in support of the position he had ad vanced. Mr.j'ansoxs said it was somewhat extraordinary, if the Southampton and Manchester Railway was calculated to confer such overwhelming benefits upon Swindon, that the committee of that line should not long since have come to that town and poi nte d out the fact.—(Hear, hear.) But the truth was, the committee had, down to the present time, never considered Swindon as anything; they had, in truth, turned upon its inhabitants the cold shoulder.—(Hear, hear.) Did the meeting conceive that the Legislature would sanction such a vast line, which would ran like a boa constrictor throughout the land, devastating the houses and ruining the property of the people of the land, through or near which it would force its course? Why there would be something like ninety miles of cutting between Cheltenham and Southamp ton. Then thief was to be accomplished at an expenditure of 1,500,0001., whilst the same end would be effected by means of the short line which he had proposed, for an outlay of 900,0001.—(Hear, hear.) Moreover, as far as the town of SWinden was concerned, the Southampton and Manchester line would not come within two miles of it, so that it had been intended by that Company to leave that town in the lurch.—(Hear, hear.) After a considerable discussion the resolution was carried by a majority of 27 to 4, Petitions to both Houses of Parliament were subsequently prepared, add received the signatures of nearly the whole of the inhabitants of the town, praying that the line might be Passed into a law. LONDON, HOUNSLOW, AND WESTERN. A numerous and respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Hounslow and the vicinity was held on Saturday afternoon, M the George Inn, for the purpose of receiving a deputation fi•om the Company, and hearing an explanation of its con templated plans and operations, in the hope of restoring its lost trade and vitality to Hounslow. Mr. HENRY BERKELEY, M.P. for Bristol, presided, and in opening the business, stated that they had assembled in com pliance with a requisition from the inhabitants, and observed that bad he had the task imposed upon him some twenty years ago of addressing the inhabitants of Hounslow and its vicinity on such a subject, situated as the town then was, in a highly flourishing condition, he should have expected his re ception among them to have been anything but agreeable, for it would have been requesting them to commit themselves to their own ruin. But the question now before them was not whether steam was or was not to be the order of the day. That question had' already been disposed of. Steam was the great pervading power, and to attempt to oppose the march qf steam, would be just as effectual as to attempt to stop the influx of the tides.—(Hear, hear.) He had witnessed the effects of the introduction of steam power into this coun try, and had not only seen the ruin which had fallen upon this town, but had had opportunities of comparing it with the condition of others similarly situated. Let them com pare Hounslow and Barnet, for instance : formerly Hounslow wee the most flourishing town on the western road, and Barnet on the north road, and both had suffered in the same way. The great roads which had been the cause of their, pro V e rity h a d b een d estroye d , an d ne i t h er o f th e to wee had the advantages of railway communication. — (Heir, hear.) It wa s all very by the Great 'Western_ well to say, as was asserted the" Birminghani, and other great lines; that they worl d bri ng in the districts • through, Which prosperity to all the towns But how bad the promiseb they assed.--(Hear, hear.) urged, that there was no statio n re deemed ? If it was rates within two or three miles of the town, that the poorwere increasing, and houses would not let, th a e n T wait until the line comes hilly into play, re ply was, parity had not been restored, y will and be restored." B ut pros redeemed? Why, th e inhabitantsh of had the promises been connexion with the Great W that town had no more Western Railcar were one hundred miles off.—(Hear, hear. than if they was mire, would assert th at th e Great' Weste rn No on e , he productive of the least advantage to tha t to Railway was would take houses in a place whi c h, had not tha adva n t ages one of railway communication • as men of business various professions wante d go to tows t he and of the morning r eturn home in the evening without los s o f time. Su ch and ' the Great Western made money by th e i r l ong tra: l ines and a tot by such as were required for Hounslow and Earner' Th e Great Western had taken away their trade and • prosperity. How well he (Mr. Berkeley) remembered the gay scene which this town used to present with its thousands of horses—(Loud cheers)—quite a sight to a foreigner—when brought out for the numerous coaches which passed through the town.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Where was their remedy? Was it with the present steam communication witll the metropolis ?—( No, no.) His advice to them was, not to depend on others any longer but to trust to them selves, and sanction a railroad which would give them a sta tion in their own town.—(Cheers.) For this purpose he called their attention to a prospectus of a company which r 0.... to carry this out, and which he believed they would mai) , of their approbation and support. The public had already manifested their confidence therein by the way iii which they had taken up the shares and paid the deposits of 10 per cent. upon the capital.. - - - (Cheers.) The Company came not to ask for subsdribers, they wanted no money ; that they had got already.—(Hear, hear.) All they asked was, that they, as the inhabitants of Hounslow, would give to the good work now carrying forward the sanction of their approbation.—(Cheers.) After some observations on the ad vantages which would accrue to the town by the cheapening of coals and other necessaries of life through its operation, the Hon. Chairman concluded by calling on Captain Moonsom, the engineer to the Company, who en tered into some details as to the proposed line, which was in tended to commence at Hungerford Railway-bridge, in the Strand, run along the SKth-Western line to Battersea, thence crossing the Thames, running through Fulham, Hammers mith, Chiswick, Turnham-green, Brentford, Isleworth, Hounslow, and the intermediate towns and villages, to Staines, with a branch from Hounslow to the Great Western Railway, at or near West Dral - ton. The South- Western Company contemplated applying to Parliament in the ensuing session for an Act to enable them to extend their line from Hungerford-bridge to London bridge, which would afford to this Company a terminus at London-bridge, as well as at Hungerford-market. This line would, he doubted not, be the means of restoring to Hounslow a great portion of the former prosperity, although he could not promise them all they had lost.—(fear, hear.) It seemed perfectly astounding to him that the western road of England should have allowed itself to be cut out from a participation in the advantages of railway commu nication. But the truth was, that the people had only lately begun to appreciate the fact that railreads must be come the Queen's highway.—(Hear, hear.) They had now, however, the opportunity, without putting their hands in their pockets, of partially restoring themselves to their former position.—(Cheers.) He next proceeded to point out the great advantages which would accrue to the neighbour hood by the extended cultivation of market-gardens round Hounslow, with improved means of transit, and said he hoped to live to see the day when the grower should send his pro duce to the London markets by this railway, and in a couple of hours receive, by electric telegraph, an order for more. Mr. E. FAGG, of Bedfont, moved the first resoluticp, to the effect, that the condition of Hounslow and neigh: bourhood imperatively called for a reiiinvil Of the existing evils, arising from the want of railway. cninuainic4tiop. Mr. PEISLET, of Hounslow, seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously, Mr. FRANCIS GuAnam, of Cranford, moved the second resolution, to the effect, that the meeting was of opinion that the London, Hounslow, and Western Railway Company, by providing a communication with the centre of the metro polis, would be highly beneficial to this locality.—(Cheers.) Mr. E. FAGG seconded the resolution. Dr. COSTELLO here claimed a hearing for Mr. George Adam on behalf of the London and Exeter direct line. Mr. Anal( proceeded at some length with a statement on the part of the projectors of that line, but was called to order by several gentlemen who thought the object of the present meeting a F m.,‘;4.. one, and that they ought not to enter iptq •- tile merits of different companies. The CHAIRMAN said it was compete to an— tg- innye an antend i tn9i4 . 4`igg of it.— (Bea f.) PT, Coniniar. • - and ‘l,-1 _..., gentleman ...,un if he disapproved °Ala, then he would move an amendment, so, calling upon the meeting not to pledge itself to support any particular project until it had heard the merits of the Direct Exeter and other lines. Mr. HURRY seconded the amendment. Mr. WILKINSON advocated the cause of a third project by Mr. Page, which he described as the original line, but was also called to order, the feeling of the meeting evidently being that the rivals ought to call meetings of their own, if they wished to have their merits discussed. _ _ The CHAIRMAN complained of the conduct of their opponents, and said, if they intended to oppose them, they ought to have given them a fair challenge, and this Company would have had no objection to meet them.—(Hear.) After some further discussion the amendment was nega tived, and the original resolution carried by a large marjoity, amid cheers. The Chairman and a number of gentlemen present at the meeting dined together at the George Inn. IRISH LINES. ULSTER. BELPAST, FRlDAY.—Yesterday the first half-yearly meeting of this Company, which was unusually large, was held here. Mr. JAMES GODDARD, chairman of the Directors, pre sided, and read the following report : " The following statement shows the result of the Corn pany's business for the half•year ended 31st ult. : First class passengers 25,589 Second class .. 109,235 Third class ditto ---- Total passengers ... 345,571 Net receipts for carriage of goods and parcels £11,867 3,938 Total receipts from traffic Register fees ... 33 X 15,838 Deduct for cost of working the line Balance of net profits for the half-year " Out of this sum the Directors recommend that a dividend of 18s. per share be now declared, which will leave the sum of 7731. 19s. sd. to be carried to the reserved fund. The pas senger traffic, during the last half-year, has considerably ex ceeded that of any corresponding period, and continues steadily to increase. In the goods department the Directors, after much inquiry, have felt it their duty to make a very considerable reduction in the rates, with the hope that the great additional accommodation thus afforded to the public will lead to such an extension of the goods traffic as will largely increase the receipts. IR order s helraT'er, to provide for regularity in working, the railway, should such an in crease ill this department as is confidently anticipated take ' piece, the Directors are proceeding with the ballasting of the portion of the line between Belfast and Lisburn, preparatory to laying the second line of rails from this town to Porta down. The Directors, having long felt that the amount with which the Company was charged for poor's rate was oppressive, and that they were taxed, not only on the value of the land, which they occupied, but also upon their profits in trade, appealed, during the last summer, against a rate made by the guardians of the Lurgan Union. In this appeal they were successful, and the rate was, in con sequence, considerably reduced. The Directors will feel it their duty to appeal against every rate not made on the prin ciple settled by that decision. This may lead to very con siderable litigation, which the Directors would most anxiously avoid ; but it is the only course left them, until the Legislature shall interfere to put upon a proper footing the rating of rail way companies, a subject which has so long been a matter of complaint, and which was brought under the notice of a Committee of the House of Commons in the summer of 1844, but without any practical result. The Act which was neces sary to enable this company to complete the railway from Portadown to Armagh has been obtained. The new Act contains a clause compelling this Company to alter the pre sent gauge from six feet two inches to five feet three inches, which has been adopted as the universal gauge for Ireland; but, at the same time, clauses have been introduced into the Bills of all the Companies whose lines will join the Ulster Railway, by which, under the direction of the Board of Trade, they will be compelled to contribute towards the expense of that alteration. The means of raising the funds for carrying on the works connected with the extension to Armagh have, necessarily, been a matter of deliberation with the Directors ; and, after full consideration, they recommend that a call be made upon the Proprietors immediately after the present meeting; and that the Shareholders authorise the necessary steps to be taken for borrowing, upon the security of the undertaking, a sum of money to the extent of 50,000/. The engineer's report stated that the number of miles run by the engines had been 53,000, and that preparations were being made for laying down the second line of rails between Belfast and Portadown, the extension from which place to Armagh, was in the hands of Mr. Dargon, the contractor, who had en gaged to complete it in one year and a half." Dr. TUOMPSON proposed a resolution to the effect " That it is expedient to raise, by borrowing on the security of the Ulster undertaking, the sum of 50,0001. for the purpose of the works of the extension line to Armagh ; and that the meet ing do authorise the borrowing on security by bond or mort gage, in such sums not less than 5001. each, for such periods not exceeding seven years, and at such rate of interest, payable half-yearly, as the Directors might determine as most to the advantage of the Company." Mr. STEEN moved as an amendment, " That instead of calls .on the. Proprietors, as recommended by Directors, they are hereby instructed to issue new quarter shares at par, in the proportion of one to each share now in existence." Mr. PETER KIRK, M.P., in seconding the amendment, said it was the practice of railway companies, both in Ireland and in England, to issue new shares when about to engage in any new undertaking, in order to cover the necessary expenses. After some obser va ti ons f rom M r. G eorge Pim, Mr. George Greer, and Mr. John Harrison, the original resolution was carried against the amendment. A discussion ensued relative to certain other railway pro jects, which, if carried out, would, it was conceived, trench upon the interests of the Ulster line, and, it was resolved, on the motion of Mr. Coams, seconded by Mr. Wouxatkx, Mr. Boyd being the only dissentient, "That the engineer of the Ulster Company be directed forthwith to examine the country between Newry, Moira, and Lisburn, with a view to the construction of a line of railway which will afford the best possible accommodation to the public at large , and to the towns of Newry, Banbridge, Loughbrickland, romore, and Hillsborough, having due regard to the interests of this Company. " On the motion of Mr. JoHN. J.P., seconded by Mr. KIRK, M.P., it was resolved, " That inasmuch as the Newry, Banbridge, and Belfast Junction Company have always shown the greatest desire to act in accordance with the wishes of the Directors of the Ulster Company, and be t i o ns c tr o u -o ct p e e d rate with them, the Directors of the -Com p an y to' communicate with the Provisional Committeaedoftbthaet theyN Newry be Banbridge, and Belfast Junction Company, n e empowered to make such arrangements a as may appear desirableviewto twhiethprothteacttiCoonmopfatnhy with the interests of this Company ; and that, if the Directors think it expedient, they be further empowered to take any other steps which may be necessary for the extension of the Ulster Railway to Banbridge and Newry, and also to such other points as will complete the oommunication with Dublin." Thanks to the Chairman and Directors closed the proceed ings. GREAT COUNTY DOWN.—At a conference held on the 17th September, between a deputation from the promoters of the Great County Down and the Directors of the Dublin and Belfast Junction Company, the following among other terms, which have not yet been officially ratified, were agreed upon :—That a direct line be made by the Dublin and Belfast Junction Company, from a point north of Newry through Banbridge to Belfast, the trustees on behalf of the Great County Down Company holding a certain amount of shares in that undertaking, and being represented on the direction in proportion to the capital invested. That the Junction Company permit the Great County Down Company to run in upon their line near Newry. That the two com panies mutually undertake to render each other any assist ance in their power in obtaining their respective Acts of Par liament. GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN. Duisum, SaTtraDaY.—This day the half-yearly general meeting of Proprietors was held at the Company's offices, No. 3, College-green. The meeting was large and highly respectable. At one o'clock George Roe, Esq., was moved to the chair. The SECRETARY read the following report : tha tp`:2lfothorfeaolt:::ltAfo-beyteeraorflla s yim rry ee loa t um in re g nrot o irt f eo t c h to e rs shareholders held on ork and Limerick, as originally ment, and the Act lia b een was plated, line to C were authorise the xt empoweredcontain plate p therefore, the satisfactiono The applicaf made last session of Parlia obtained. The Directors have, one Company, under one Direction , r eportingf undertaking, which the purpose of carry inggiowhilich, when completed by that you are now out this great nude Tour attention will the addition of the branches be called in another part of this report,which applied l h v e undertaking r an thishe most country. i i a portant and productive railway In the same session a Compony power to make a railway from Waterford tro Parliaments power this line, the part which lies between Tipperarymeric surd Limerick runs nearly parallel to your pror =iinerick extiaBi(4l. When the plans of these two w a gs were ' submitted to the Board of Trade, it appeared to that tibunal that, as the portion between Tipperary and Lime tick was common to the two Companies, it would be moat ; expedient for the public service, that the use thereof should I. be given conjointly to both, under an agreement, to be em bodied in each of their Acts of Parliament. This has ac s cordingly been done. The principal conditions are :—That • this Company is to pay to the Waterford and Limerick Com pany a per centage on one-half of the cost of constructing , that portion of the railway oetween the point of junction and the city of Limerick, and also one-half the charge of keeping it in repair; that all stations between these two points shall be for the joint or separate accommodation of the two Com panies, and that the Great Southern and Western Railway shall have a separate terminus at Limerick. These terms your Directors consider to be advantageous to your interests. The support which it is the interest of your Company to give to branch lines connecting themselves with your main trunk, early engaged the attention of the Directors, and at your last half-yearly meeting you sanctioned a subscription of 100,0001. to the Galway line, and 20,000/. to the Carlow and Wexford Junction. From circumstances which it is unnecessary to state here, both these Companies failed in getting their Acts of incorporation. It is intended, however, by the promoters of these undertakings, to renew their applications for Bills next session of Parliament, and from the opinion expressed by the Board of Trade, and the reports made by the Parlia mentary Committees to which these lines had been referred, there can be but little doubt that these applications will be successful. It will be necessary, however, to renew your approval of supporting both these lines by subscribing thereto the amounts above specified. It is also proposed to make a branch railway from Killarney, to join your line at Mallow, which your Directors think will be of such advantage to this Company that they strongly recommend your supporting it also, by taking shares therein to the amount of 100,000/. In these several undertakings it is intended that powers shall be taken in their Acts for placing a certain number of your Directors on their Boards, thereby securing a permanent in, fluence in the direotion of each, and an harmonious working of the whole. In addition to the lines already stated, a com pany has been fiewed for uniting Clonmel with Cashel; an otheT fez ecmAtpictnig a brineh from your line, near Templ e - Nenagli, the assize town of the North Riding of Tipper4ry another for making a branch from Borris-in- Os.sory to Roscrea and Parsonstown, in the King's County, and another connecting Ennis, the capital of Clare, and Killaloe, the key of the Shannon intercourse, with your line, near its terminus at Limerick; while the Waterford and Kilkenny Railway, for which an Act was obtained last session, secures you the traffic of these two important towns. From the foregoing enumerations of additional traffic about to be brought upon your main trunk, your Directors cannot but congratulate you on having secured a line of rail y, which, from its geographical position, must reepi.v s e yg considerable portion of that tributary tra , ffic roi/ communication necessarily creat,e. : l. 00 " 4 having been consolidated, wj4h tite 4 l -1 -' sion, the DiretopitiB call ,s on bo't'h ' _ .iay —,ension lines and Cashel divi _...g the necessary steps to have the on an equality. And as every exertion made to complete the whole line with the least pos sible delay, the capital is likely to be required as quickly as the Act will enable the calls to be made. The Directors have much pleasure in stating that contracts have been entered into for a large supply of sleepers, iron rails, locomotive en gines, and carriages, on reasonable terms, and the works along the line are in such a state of forwardness as to war rant the Directors in believing that it will be opened at the time originally contemplated. The engineers and solicitors are now engaged in making arrangements to obtain imme diate possession of the land for the extension line to Cork, so that contracts may be entered into for its construction. The rapid progress made in the works will be found in the subjoined report of the engineer; and the accounts of the receipts and expenditure of the Company, made up to the 28th of August, 1844, certified by the auditors, are annexed. By the 17th section of the Extension Act, all the members of the board of direction vacate their seats at the present meeting, but are eligible to be immediately re-elected." The SERETART also read the report of the engineer, Sir John M'Neil, on the state of the works. The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report. Mr. JAMES PERRY said that there was an item of 7,0001. in the accounts, which had been allocated to the Great Western line from Portarlington to Galway. He denied that the Company had the power to make investments of their capital in other lines ; it had been admitted by the Directors that they could not appropriate the funds of the Company to any purposes but those for which the Company was formed. There were also large sums of money proposed to be advanced to the Killarney Junction Railway, and the Wexford and Carlow Railway Companies. He (Mr. Perry) respectfully denied that they could legally appropriate the funds of the Company in those separate lines. The CHAIRMAN said that the item of 7,0001. advanced to the Galway Company would be refunded, and it required only the presence of Mr. Kane to have the necessary deeds and preliminaries put in order, for the purpose of having that sum refunded to the Company. A discussion arose as to the legality of advancing the capital of the company in the speculations alluded to by Mr. Perry, in which Sir David Roche, Bart., Sir John Burke, Bart., Mr. Barrington, Mr. Ferrier, and the Chairman took part ; after which the motion, that the report should be received, was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN put the third resolution, which was to the effect that the Directors should have full power and au thority to invest in the Irish Great Western, or Galway Com pany, 100,0001. ; in the Wexford, Carlow, and Dublin Junc tion Railway, 100,000/. ; and in the Killarney Junction Rail way, 20,0007., and to carry out arrangements with the several companies of these lines, with a view to the further ance and protection of the interests of the Great Southern and Western Railway Company. The resolution was carried unanimously. The directors of the past year weve re-elected for the pre sent, after which _ _ Sir JOHN BURKE, Bart., Iva* moved to the chair, and thanks having been voted to the prior chairman, the meet ing adjourned. CONTINENTAL LINES. STOCIUTOLV, SEPT. 15.—Count Rosen is come from Eng land, by which the statements in the newspapers of an English plan for making railways in Sweden appear to re ceive some confirmation. CRAM:ERG' AND ERQUELINNES.—The surveys are com pleted, the line staked out, and the works will be commenced in a month. A new line in the Charleroi district, to accom modate the collieries of Ardinoises, Maimburg, Bellevue, Ledelinsart, Sacre Madame, and the glass works of Dam premy and Charleroi, is projected. MIDDLEBURG AND MAESTRICHT.—This line is conceded preliminarily to Mynheer Dirk Dronckers, who has already provided the necessary capital. The line begins at Middle burg, with a branch to Flushing, and proceeds to Bergen-op- Zoom, Herbogten Bosch, or Bois le Duc, Breda, Yenloo, Ruremond, and Maestricht. DIEPPE AND FECAIIP.—The Presse states thet the conven tion relative to the concession of the Dieppe and Acamp Railroads was signed on the 13th inst., by the Minister of Public Works, and by Mr. E. Blount, of the firm of C. La tfiitte, Blount, and Co. ; Count d'Alton Shee, Peer of France ; 11. Barbet, mayor and deputy of Rouen ; Baron Michel de St. Albin, formerly Receiver-General ; and M. Osment, banker, of Dieppe. The concession is for the term of the Rouen and Havre. ROUEN LINE.—The traffic is one of the most respectable this season, the increase during the last few days having attained the enormous figure of 41,500 f. ; no doubt that with such results these shares must rise considerably.—Railway Chronicle. The Huddersfield and Sheffield Company propose to apply in the ensuing session to effect a junction with the Midland Railways at Darfield, commencing at Penistone, and passing through the richest area of coal strata via Woraborough and Silkstone. BIRMINGHAM AND LEICESTER DIRECT.—At a meeting of the Directors just held at Birmingham, Mr. Shaw, the Chair man, stated that 180,000 shares had been applied for, when there were only 30,000 to be allotted. Mr. Pardon, the acting engineer, had, after examination of the line, reported that not only were thera no difficulties of importance in the shape of inequalites, but that the line would be one of very easy construction. trSIC ANn PoNTyroor..—On Friday a meeting was held at Usk, Mr. E. 11. Phillips in the chair, to effect the establish ' ment of a line between that place and Pontypool, when a a letter having been read from Messrs. Johnson, Farquhar, and Leech, the solicitors to the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford line, offering to make the proposed line from Usk to Pontypool, resolutions accepting the overture were passed. Influential meetings were held last week at Swansea and Llandilo, in favour of the Welsh Midland line. The London and Birmingham have declined any con nexion with the proposed " London and Birmingham Exten sion," and intimate that they have instructed Mr. Robert Stephenson to survey a line from Northampton to Weedon, to connect their Peterborough branch with the proposed London, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster line, to which they accord co-operation. The Brighton Company propose to extend the Brighton and Hastings line, now in course of construction, and which will be worked by them, under a lease agreement, from Lewes to the pert of Newhaven, in continuation of the line at Keymer. A direct line between London and Gravesend on the at mospheric system is projected. The Coventry canal is to be converted into a railway to run from the Rugby and Oxford line to Coventry and Bur ton-on-Trent, there to unite with the Birmingham and Derby, and one of the projected lines to Manchester, forming a direct route from Southampton to Manch enter and the North of England, giving the Great Western a, direct outlet north. RAILWAY (m a wayRe.) IMPROVEMENT. the In the Westminster Rev . , recently publdshed, there is, under this head, an ar ticle by calculated to excite much interest in the railway worl d , opening itlp a question of the further progress of railways, see not ; nor can we detect any .f a llacy ys,the end -whereof we proposi tions, novel and original thoughthe b in the The writer commences the a rticl e e. y ing on the great reduction that has bk comment ta en place in railway fares, stimulated by the fear of l peting lines, showing that it wou ld have bee n levr and com• to have taken measures to red uce f ares and more wis e e an earlier period, ere the agitati on o f new r a ilway s penses at commenced, and that the existin g lines eaw chance of competing with those about t o be ma de , e no ex cept by the greatest economy in reducing their exp en s e s, inasmuch as the fares must inevitably be roducedb competition. But, even supposing an existing li ne to bey eclipsed by a new one, as regards direct traffic, the writer proceeds to show that the line may evert then be come more valuable by the proper applica.aion of the land along its borders, distinctly pointing out that rail ways are even yet wholly in their infancy—Llnperfectly applicable to mere transit between distant towns—badly constructed as regards their future application to other important uses—and thereby deprived of souroes of profit immeasurably greater than mere distant transit can ever yield. We give an eutline of the general sys tem which the author proposes for producing the best economical result. Leaving all existing railways, and the towns they connect, to their own advantages and imperfections, be adverts to a general system of new railways, without regard to existing towns, to be laid out chie fly through unpeopled districts, with a view to colonise' them with an agricultural, horticultural, and manufacturing popu lation, throughout their whole extent, on the principle that induced the Government of the State of New York, to construct the Erie Canal through a wilderness, viz., that an easy route, once made, would be sure to attract population wherever subsistence could be obtained. Be cause in order to attract population along a new line of railway, i. e., a road with an artificial level, it is only necessary to provide artificial circumstances similar to those nature has provided in the natural levels of the valleys, viz., water, fuel, and land to cultivate and pro duce crops and cattle. The absence of these circum stances has been the chief cause why hill land, which is the h • ealthiest has remained mostly unpeopled, while towns have multiplied • in the valleys. Commencing such • railways from the outekirip of any large town, and carrying them either in a strsi, , ht or curved line through any thinly -peopled diitriet, stationary power should be ❑sed for the purpo..es of traction, either by the atmospheric or other medium ; amongst other advantages, preventing risk of fire. Pipes for water to be laid the whole length of the line. Pipes for liquid manure to be laid the whole length of the line. Pipes for gas to be laid the whole length of the line. And the roadway should be of ample width for two lines, with carriages or travelling platforms not less than ten feet in width, and of proportionate length. One line might be laid first. The various pipes should all be laid so as to be acces sible at all times for repairs and junctions. The stationary steam-power to be placed at every two or three miles distance. We quote the following passage from the Westminster Review : "At the station we would inclose, oa the cheapest plan of an ordinary railway terminus, from two to four acres of land in a square form, with brick walls, say 20 feet high. The roof to be in spans of fifty to sixty fe'-t, formed of iron, and supported On iron columns. The whole of this we would cover in with hail-proof glass— a process that will be ultimately cheaper than slating, and far more durable. In Belgium, we believe, at this time, glass for greenhouse purposes is sold at the rate of 10s. per 100 superficial feet, weighing 14 oun ces t o th e foot. We are much mistaken if the twu railway mag nates who have just established a glass-works in Sunder land will not produce it cheaper than this. "Around the outer wall we would erect dwellings of two floors, leaving four gateways into the inner square. The exuvim from these buildings would be carried by pipes to a common receptacle, to be supplied to the pur poses of manure, so chemically prepared on the plans of Liebig as to neutralise all odour. The number of dwel lings( surrounding an inclosure of four acres would be about eighty. Assuming four grown persons for eaeh, the exuvim would be equivalent to manure the heavy corn crops of 160 acres of ground, and be worth 300/. per annum, or more. ekw - AGu ~ ssie would the ver"yrrehheeainptleyrnaatltabiuniekrgTohr fige extesaal w*"" gratuitous, as LOA% paV4 of the h^ - colutni ve;4l4 serve s ° - wo: eequire cost oe would be —"uses, and the central am conduits, the ground-work no paving or laying, and the only real ould be the roof. " The application of this large green-house would be for the production of vegetables in the winter time. Four acres thus inclosed and sheltered would be multiplied in value many fold. Produced on the very verge of the railway, the crops would be gathered and delivered direct into the markets of the City within an hour of cutting. At other periods the external land could be applied to the same purposes. " For all these arrangements the steam-engine would be a most valuable adjunct. The waste steam would warm the green-house and the dwellings, and would serve the purposes of cooking either in a general kitchen or separately. The condensation water would supply baths, and thus be rendered available for irrigative pur poses. It would serve also for washing clothes, and the steam would serve for drying them. " The question that will be asked is, How will all this pay ?' We answer, that it will pay better than a railway. Each house will be worth 41. per annum in exuvire, which would pay all the interest in the inner in closure or green-house. The next question will be, Who will occupy the dwellings ?' We answer, that there will be manyfold more applicants than dwellings. The railway will ultimately communicate with the City and Hungerford-markets. Many thousands of persons are there in those neighbourhoods who would think the millennium come if told that they could have houses warmed, ventilated, gas-lighted, thoroughly drained, and supplied with hot and cold water in a healthy country district, transit included, for less money than they could obtain the same for in London. Our pages will not afford space for all the calculations, but we are satisfied that those interested would find it a pay ing speculation,' more secure than a railway. We are satisfied that with such arrangements no long time would elapse ere the washing. cooking, and domestic service of the whole estab lishment would merge in one general body of servants, precisely like the establishments at club-houses. A school for the children would be a matter of course. "At intervals between the atmospheric stations it would be advantageous to place factories, involving no nuisances, such factories having sidings to the railway. In all cases we suppose the smoke nuisance to be abolished. Say that a cotton mill or silk mill were esta blished, all the exuviaz would be pumped away to the neighbouring land, and the waste steam and condensation water would be applied to baths and numerous other pur poses. Contiguous to such factories should be the esta blishment of dairies, well built and thoroughly warmed and ventilated, so that the cows would never be exposed to bad weather. Feeding houses for sheep and other animals should be established on the same principles, slaughter-houses being contiguous, fitted to preserve the greatest cleanliness, by an abundant supply of hot and cold water, the washings being applied to irrigation pur poses. Milk, meat, and vegetables thus produced on the borders of the railway, in the very finest condition, would be conveyed to town at the minimum of cost, and in the highest state of freshness and preservation. " In thus interspersing factories and furnaces—always regarding the steam-engine as a sine qua non for the nucleus of each, a most important advantage is gained. The same persons may apply themselves either to form work or finishing work, as the demand may be greatest. In the winter the factories would have the preference, in the summer the furnaces, and all times it would be easy to obtain abundant hands for gatheing in the harvest ; and we think it probable that a large inclosed space, roofed with glass, and warmed and ventilated will ere long be considered an essential adjunct to every farm, for the purpose of drying dung and corn during a wet harvest time. During the late gloomy weather it would have been well appreciated." It is manifest that every acre of land so inclosed and covered, would in its food-producing power be equivalent to five or six acres of exposed land. A success i on o f crops might be maintained during the whole winter, and land external to these buildings would be irrigated with liquid manures, and supplied with plants produced in the green-houses. At the extremity of the first portion of road—say six miles—a church, a lecture-room, a reading-room, and schools, to be erected, so that the whole population along the line might easily be conveyed by a single train, and returned in the same mode. The whole borders of the line of rail, of the width of one-third of a mile, would become a belt of the most productive kitchen-gardens, the stock of which could be conveyed to the town at the very mi n i mum o f cost. Other two-thirds of a mile would be occupi e d b y grass and corn land, capable of irrigation by liq u id manure from pipes. At the distance of another mile another railway should be laid down. The whole of the roofs of the buildin gs s h ou ld b e arranged to turn the rain-water into reservoirs, as th e cheapest mode of supply in a district scarce of water. By these arraneements, nearly the whole of the ex penses and loss of time at present incurred in conveying farm stock from distances to railway stations, would be avoided, and they are the most heavy drawbacks on all farming. Moreover, nearly all the oxuvim would be saved, and conveyed to the land requiring them—almost without cost—a mode of manuring far more valuable than guano. When the whole land along the line of road were oc cupied, it would yield a very large rental, so that th e road might a lmost be considered gratuitous as regarding transit ; and then another three miles should be carried on, capital being only invested as fast as it became pro fitable. In this mode the whole of England would gradually be covered with a net-work of what might be called "occupation railways ;" and farms and gardens would be adjusted to a new system, capable of being adapted to machine help as manufactories and mills are. At con venient inter va l s these occupation railways would com municate with the main lines, with rivers, and with the sea. Their cost would not be great, because, not requiring to communicate directly with any particular spot, they would be laid out so as to avoid any expensive works, such as crossing rivers and piercing hills. Nor would very high speed be required for transit. Roads and haul age on farms may be regarded as the heaviest expenses ; and no road can be so economical as an iron road—no horses can be so cheap as steam. With the present ir regular system of farms, railways are impracticable ; with a regular system there would be no difficulty. It costs more money to transport heavy goods from Staf fordshire to Liverpool than from Liverpool to New York. Farming and gardening conducted on the borders of railways would make as great a leap forward as is the case with railway traction compared with highway trac tion. Soils would be interchanged ; clays would be moved to sand, and chalks to clays. England would grow to be one continuous garden of immeasurably in creased production, and land would rise greatly i . n value. No country could compete with such a system in cheap ness of production, except by pursuing the same system. The making of railways has hitherto been the busi ness of speculators, seeking to change an existing traffic from one set of hands to another. And well have they done it, with profit to themselves and to the nation. But the business of the landowner is to resolve on ma kin g railways to create their own traffic, and raise the value of their land. In process of time all roads of every description will become railways ; even streets in towns will be laid out of sufficient width for rails. And nothing would so much tend to the civilization of Ireland as occupation railways; nothing could bring so large a return to the landowners; nothing could be so e ff ec ti ve i n putting down agrarian outrage as a cont i nuous li ne o f railway farms cultivated on the economical principles that would afford good wages to the labourers, by reducing transport to its minimum. The railways with artificial watercourses would attract to them all the best of the population. It is possible that the system thus set forth may, by many, be deemed fallacious, but the writer is well assured to the contrary. He says there is no single thing that he proposes th a t i s not to b e f oun d in actual prac ticein one form or other. Of the economy of the vari ous propositions, no mill-owner would doubt, accustomed to the advantages of machinery, and easy means of trans port;, nor would agriculturi s t s l o ng doubt. The originality to which the writer may lay claim is , the applicati on o f occupat i on ra il ways as agricultural and manuf ac t ur i ng streets, and com bi n i ng with them all the known pr ocesses w hi ch su b st i tute s t ea m power_for manual and anim a l l a b our, toget h er w ith various im proved modes of applyi ng t h e gaseous a nd other exuvim of animal life to th e nutr i ment o f p l an t s as set forth by the various professors o f vegeta bl e chemistry. The writer can make no clai m t o t h e use of liquid manures, or their conveyance by pipes, or application by forced jets over land, but simply t o ren d e r them practically available in conjunction with railways. The passing water pipes along a railway has been resorted to in the north for the supply of a town with water, but not for the supply of a population bordering on the railway. And the proposition to cover acres of land with glass for the prodticti , m of veget,bles in winter, end w.Arteirg and watering with warm mist such inclosed lanrls, and applying gaseous vapour; for plant oourisbinent, is, we believe, original in its application. Nor are we aware that it has yet occurred to coal owners to convert their stock into gas at the pit's mouth, and convey it along the line of rails in pipes for the purpose of serving a railway population. There is another original proposition of the writer, which, if his calculations be correct, is likely to make a great change in the processes of agriculture. "To convey artificial heat beneath the earth, on open land, so as constantly to maintain the temperature suited to the growth and development of the vegetable tribes by means of pipes of metal or earthenware, circulating steam, or hot water or air from a close boiler, or stove. These pipes to be laid at depths of from four to five feet, in the manner of deep drainage ; also by a similar pro cess to inject the ground with gaseous manure, as am monia and carbon, so that the heat and gases may be constantly ascending towards the surface, and thus be absorbed by the roots of the plants without waste, and with great economy. "By - our calculations the consumption of two tons of coal per acre, per annum, will supply heat for the pro duction of crops throughout the year, and probably coal will be delivered along, lines of railway at an average of 83. per ten, Along lines of atmospheric railway the stationary engines would supply the steam or hot water, and we shall yet see the time when rails will be laid along the surfaces of our fields whereon cylinder harrows will tumble down by the same stationary power, to break the violent fragments fit for the growth of plants. Nor is this artificial warming of the subsoil a mere thaary. In some parts of Saxony the heat arising froak burning coal-mines below so tempers 'the soil s k lefoxe that snow never lies on it, and crops are prcAu f eed throughout the whole winter." P ,, r T o h fe e s s s e or p L ra ieb o ig, it ry ns k ror corobinp. me chanical_ knOwledg e i ll a j ai , i .g, chemical and will utoe ,4 w i t h „ no , and hrrmonious whole numerous w.- 4position. It will be disputed in sago-' -ys ;it will be cavilled over—it will be —bed over and over again, that no railway can pay without an existing traffic, but inasmuch as the plan is based on unquestionable economical truth, it will at last be tried. For as the traffic of the existing railway; was created by favourable natural localities inducing people to reside therein, the same result must obtain from favourable artificial localities." But who will try it ? Not a company, for it would not come under the category of a strict public object, though of the greatest possible importance to the public. Individual powerful landowners might combine and try it, but long and tedious would be the process of getting them together. It were an undertaking worthy of the State, but the State undertakes only the arts of war. Yet whoever undertakes it, and carries it well through, will establish a normal school of national industry that will induce universal imitation, multiply manifold the capital and resources of this great nation, and do more than any other thing to extinguish poverty. Be the time long or short, we feel assured that the words of the writer will not perish, but in due time become things, and bring forth fruit. They will be weighed throughout the railway press of Europe and of America ; for in his proposition is to be found the true mode of restoring to agriculture the balance of the power it has lost by the onward strides of manufacture.

CA - U - TION - To AUCTIONEERS.—At a sale on Satur day last, in Russell-mews, Mr. Dixon, the celebrated horse auc tioneer, was accosted by a person who stated that he was an Excise officer, and demanded to see his license. Fortunately Mr. Dixon was provided with the necessary document, or there is no doubt he would have been fixed with the penalty. We cannot believe that the Commissioners of Excise sanction such proceedings. ADVERTISEMENT.

Here is the de claration :—" Lest our faithful flocks should be apprehensive of any change being wrought in our minds relative to the recent legislative measure of academic education, we, the undersigned Archbishops and Bishops, feel it a duty we owe to them, and to ourselves, to reiterate our solemn conviction of its being dangerous to faith and morals, as declared in the resolutions unanimously adopted in May last by the assem bled Bishops of Ireland :—M*.

PROGRESS OF A POUND OF COTTON — 44 There was sent off for London, lately, from Glasgow, a small piece of muslin, about one pound weig ,ht, the history of which is as follows :—The cotton came f rom the United States to London from London it went to Manchester, where it was manufactured into yarn; from Manchester it was sent to Paisley, where it was woven ; it - was sent to Ayrshire next, where it was tamboured ; afters Ards it was conveyed to Dunbarton, where it was handsew ed, and again returned to Paisley, when it was sent to a distant part of the county of Renfrew to be bleached, and was returned to Paisley ; then sent to Glasgow, and was finished ; and from Glasgow was sent per coach to London. It is . difficult precisely to ascer. taro the time taken to bring this article to market, but it may be pretty near the truth to rec kon it two years from the time it was packed in America, till its cloth arrived at the merchant's warehouse in London, whither it must have been conveyed 3,000 miles by sea, and 92 0 by land, and contributed toward the support of no less than 150 people, whose services were necessary in the carriage and manufacture of this small quantity of cotton, and by which th e value has been advanced 2,000 per cent. What is said of this piece is descriptive of no inconsiderable part of the tree ie."— Scotch paper.
