IRISH GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.— DUBLIN TO GALWAY.—The Dublin and Galway Bill having been lost for this Session, the Provisional Committee have to acquaint the scrip -holders and the Public that, at a meeting of the Board, held this day, it has been resolved to proceed to procure an Act in the next Session of Parliament, for making the Railway between Dublin and Galway, the success of which appears to be insured by the decision of the House or Commons in favour of the merits of this line, and the strong expressions of a like tendency elicited in the debates in the House of Lords. The line will have the strenuous support of the great landed proprietors generally, and of other interests throughout the west of Ireland, as well as the cordial co-operation of the Great Southern and Western Railway Company. The interests of the present scrip -holders will be carefully pro tected in the arrangements to be made, full particulars of which will be published in a few days. FITZN. FRENCH, Chairman. J.

(With power to add to their number.) This Company is originated on data supplied by official returns, obtained from a majority of the leading cities and towns in the king dom, exhibiting an almost nominal risk in drapers' establishments, and is based upon the principle of excluding all extra hazardous risks ; but power is intended to be vested in the Directors to accept (if they think proper) applications for general insurances, where the risks can be clearly shown not to exceed that of a general draper's es blishment. The effect of a preliminary canvass has been to obtain large pro mises of support in different districts, both •by intended insurances and subscription tbr'shares. It is belieged, also, that (rejecting all extra risks) the Directors will be in a coradition to materially reduce the premiums payable for insurances. A small portion only of the capital is intended to be called tbr, and the proprietors are to be entitled to interest on the same, and to one third of the clear profits; one-third being also retained to consti tute a sinking fund, and ono-third distributed in bonuses amongst the assured.: The liability of the shareholders to be effectually limited to the amount of their subscription to the Company, the usual protective clause being inserted in all policies issued.

This Railway is intended to commence at or near to Derby, and passing through the rich Mineral District of Kilburne, Denby, Coln• r Park, and Pinxton, to proceed to Mansfield and East Retford, and terminate at Gainsborough ; thus completing a direct trunk Line of Railway across the kingdom from the Humber to the Severn, and forming the nearest route that can be taken between the important Ports of Gainsborough, Hull, Great-Grimsby and the Midland Counties, Derby, the Potteries, Birmingham, Gloucester, Bristol, &c. An Act of Parliament has just passed for the formation of the Ballway from Gainsborough to Great Grimsby, with a Branch to New Holland, opposite to Hull. The proposed Railway from Derby to Gainsborough will proceed in a direction not contemplated by any other Company, and will neither compete with any existing projects, nor oppose them ; it will traverse a country through which the want of railway com munication is seriously felt, and along which this project has been most cordially received. The traffic from local sources in the neighbourhood of Derby alone will be immense. The conveyance of the mineral wealth of the ex tensive and flourishing Iron-works and Collieries between Derby and Pinxton (a district which, for its productiveness, stands unrivalled throughout the United Kingdom), and of Coals from the Portland Colliery, will yield an amount of revenue which, could it be exactly stated, would seem rather a gross exaggeration than a fact ; while from Mansfield, celebrated for its first rate building stone, and tha superior quality of its lime, and from the agricultural districts be tween Mansfield and Retford, and thence to Gainsborough, the traffic in oilcake and tillage, barley, and other agricultural produce, will be scarcely less important—insuring to the promoters of this under taking a highly remunerating income. Independently, however, of these local sources of revenue, which alone would amply justify the formation of the line, the through traffic, consisting of the manufactures of Birmingham, the earthenware of Staffordshire, and the varied produce of other towns in the Midlapd and Western Counties, to the ports of Gainsborough, Hull, and Great Grimsby, for exportation, with the return of timber, deals, and other Baltic and foreign commodities, cannot fail to be most produc tive, whilst at the same time the proposed railroad offers to passengers to Hull, &c., a saving of thirty miles of distance over the present route. The Great-Grimsby Railway Company who have obtained their Act for making the line from Gainsborough to Great Grimsby, have made arrangements with the Dock Company there to form (under the sancti an of an Act of the Legislature) but one concern, and they intend to render Great Grimsby, by a large outlay of capital, a sea port of the first importance. A general survey of the country has been already made, and no engineering difficulties whatever present themselves. A line could scarcely be found which would so little alter the features of the country. It does not interfere with any ornamental grounds, or existing navigation, and can be made at a comparatively small cost. It gives the utmost accommodation to the collieries, ironworks, &c., near which It passes, and it does not cross any turnpike-road on a level, a circumstance which is much to be desired. The gradients on the line are exceedingly favourable, and it will pass through, and near to, several excellent stone quarries, well adapted for bri ige building, and the ballast throughout will be found on the line. The greatest respect will be paid to the residence and domains of the nobility and gentry in the neighbourhood through which the line will run, in order to avoid their being prejudicially interfered With. Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum, on all deposits and calls until the opening of the line, and the liability of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions. Application for shares, in the following form, accompanied by a banker's or other satisfactory reference, may be addressed to the so licitors, or to the undermentioned share-brokers, from whom pros pectuses, &c., may be obtained.

His companion bad his arm and several ribs fractured, and was removed to the London Hospital. LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY.

In reference to this petition, the following letter ap peared in the Morning Herald of yesterday : " find from the Parliamentary Papers delivered this morning, that a petition was last night presented to the house of Commons, from a Mr. Henry Bruce, on the subject of the London and York Railway. To my astonishment and indignation, I perceive that the peti tioner has included me in a list of subscribers to, the London " I aa, Sir, your obedient sevant, " CHARLES BROWN. " New Bridge-street, London. Aug. 5." • CHELMSFORD AND BURY RAILWAY. Elsewhere we have given a notice—Aecessarily brief from the pressure of so many meetings—of the opening of the Railways to Ely and Norwich. 3A-ost sincerely 3.) we congrztuiate the Proprietors of the Eastern Counties' Company and of the united Norfolle.Company on this consummation of a great . undertak.Ag. We trust and believe that it will add materially to tio pres pt•riby of the Eastern Counties' Shareholderst and render auspicious to both parties the amalgamator= so happily eff-eted between the Companies whose ,lines meet. at Norwich. It will be seen that great praise was awarded to t:le contractors for the energy and liberality which they have displayed during the progress ,Of the works.. Never was praise better deserved. Messrs. ,Grissell andl Peto, and Mr. Jackson, who was associated with them in the undertaking, have most admirably fulfilled their part, and one Cannot, in simple justice, but echo the mmasenclation which, on Tuesday, was so amply be stowed, and which, coming as it did from quarters so highly influential, must have been as gratifying to those who received, it as it was honourable to those who be stowed it. With respect to the general question of railway com-- munication for the East Anglian districts, the route to Norwich. via Cambridge and Ely, is circuitous undoubt edly—not less than 1251 miles ; and it is not to be sup posed that the traffic between the metropolis and such an important place as Norwich—to say nothing of its almost equally important sister . town, Yarmonth—will continue to take that course a moment after a more direct line of communication is opened. The distance by the }listen Counties' line to Colchester, and thence by the Eastern Union and Eastern Union Extension 0 Norwich, will be only 113 miles, and by the Chelms ford and Bury, when extended to Thetford. only 110,1. With respect to this last line, by the way, we are glad to perceive en advertisement of " the Extension to Thetford," which appears in our advertising columns (for which extension an additional capital of 250,0002 i required) that "by a special arrangement with the solicitor of the Eastern Counties' Railway, they (the Provisional Committee of the Chelmford and Bury) are as sured of the concurrence of the good offices of that im pel tont Company in the formation of their line." There is more good sense and sound discretion in this determi nation than we have been accustomed to observe in the proceedings of the Eastern Counties' officials. It ought clearly to be the policy of the managers of a great trunk line liko the Eastern Counties to give every possible en couragement to feeders from all quarters, whether pro moted by parties in or out of " the House ;" for how ever independent in respect of management such feeders may be at first, they are sure to be absorbed and amal gamated at last. And, least of all, should they be with held from giving such encouragement from any narrow calculation of the gain to be made by compelling the pub lie to travel some dozen or half-dozen miles more by rail' than there is any occasion for. They may rest perfectly assured that the best line for the public will always, in the long run, be the best also for railway proprietors. We have always thought well of the Chelmsford and Bury branch, and have reason to know that it is thought equally well of by the members of the Legislature most conversant with the traffic wants of the East Anglian districts. The members of the Committee of the House of Commons, to whom the Norwich Direct, and Bury and Cambridge lines were referred, took occasion re peatedly to advert to the Chelmsford and Bury line (though it was not formally before them), as being one which was indispensable to the welfare of the commer cial and agricultural interests of Suffolk and Norfolk ; and when giving the decision against the Norwich Di rect, Lord Bandon, the chairman, emphatically observed, " The Committee was decidedly in favour of the Chelms ford and Bury scheme."—Railway Record. LORD • MELBOURNE'S OPINION OF SIR R. PEEL'S MINISTRY. At the annual meeting of the Fishmongers' Company, Lord Melbourne was presented with the freedom of the Company, and was afterwards present at the dinner. His health having been proposed by the Prime Warden, and drunk with great applause— Lord MELBOURNE rose and said—Mr. Prime Warden and gentlemen, before I thank this Company for the great honour which they have done me, I must express my regret and concern that the infirm state of my health has compelled me so ofien to decline the invitations with which I have been honoured, and to put off for so long a time the reception of the honour which I have at length received this Morning, and which I highly value and esteem.—(Hear, hear.) I assure you, gentlemen, that I consider it a very high distinction to be enrolled among the members of a Corporation so ancient and respectable, and which has always been distinguished by its steady adherence to the enlightened and constitutional principles of civil and religious l►berty.—(Hear, hear.) In proposing my health, the Prime Warden has adverted, in terms highly flattering and compli mentary, and very gratifying to my feelings, to the Ad ministration of which I was the leadmg Member.— (Hear.) That Administration is now defunct. We are gone, as Members of and as a Government. But pars melior nostrum is still adkne viva et superstes ; the cor poreal frame may be said to have expired, and to be con signed to the tomb, but the immortal spirit, the ignea vis animi, is still alive, and not only alive, hut active and efficient.—(Loud cheers.) Our principles and opinions, our views of public affair s, still survive us.—(Renewed cheers.) They have been adopted and acted upon by those who replaced us, and they have been productive, during the session of Parliament that is just about to terminate, of more than one wise and beneficial measure of measures which I believe to be fit and essential, to be founded upon sound principle, based upon good example, and which, I have the greatest hopes, will confer lasting benefit upon the part of the empire to which they espe cially apply, and upon the community at large. At the same time we all well know that these very mea sures have been productive, in one House of Parliament, of much difference of opinion—that they have been the cause of much bitter feeling, not to say malignant in vective, being levelled against the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of her Majesty's Government, upon the notion of some supposed inconsistency of these measures with his former opinions and conduct.—(Hear, hear.) Placed as I have been by circumstances in the position of an antagonist and competitor to that Right Honourable Baronet, it is natural that I should look into and ex amine his conduct, not with hostile jealousy or any hostile feeling, but with care and anxiety.—•(Hear, hear.) It is natural that I should be anxious to learn what his conduct has been, what have been his measures, what have been the prin ciples upon which they have been founded, and what the language in which he has urged and en forced those principles.—(Hear, hear.) I have made such inquiry and examination, and I think myself bound to state, as the result of it, that I know of nothing in the antecedent conduct of the Right Hon. Baronet which should, in point of consistency, preclude him from bring ing forward either the measures which he has brought forward, or any other measures in the same direction which he may ...onvince his understanding or persuade his conscience would be both expedient and conduce to the benefit and advantage of his country.—(Loud cheers.) Thus nnich I have thought it my duty to say. I had intended to have said it in Parliament, but I have never been able t 3 find an opportunity of doing so. But, indeed, when I look at the assembly which I have the honour of addressing, and consider how it is composed, I do not think I am likely to find a better opportunity of snaking this declaration than that which is now presented to me.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I thank you again for the honour which you have conferred upon me. I wish von success in all your undertakings. I know you will . undertake nothing which, while it is for your own benefit, is not- also for the advantage of your country ; and wishing you collectively and individually happiness, prosperity, peace, and every earthly blessing, I respectfully take my leave. (The noble Lord sat down amid loud cheers.) HERRING FISHING. I" BERWICK, Aun. I.—The take this week has been but very indifferent. On Saturday morning the success was very encouraging.
