Wellington—George Marcy, Esq. Shrewsbury—W. Cooper, Esq. The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as the point where the broad guage trunk lines of the west are to have a sannman terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have decided on constructing a line of rail :—another project under the pa trunue of the same powerthl direction is now before the public, uufting i'formster with Warwick; and, that the broad gauge will be carried from Worcester into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations on that coast, is now no longer doubtftd. This undertaking Will COlN plots a series of great avenues of iron-road, whose ramification trent Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly accessible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where it wgi disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches Stourport, end proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at Itewdley. This district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu faetures, and In the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening lfstrfets, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge little to the east, the line is taken to Rridgenorth, a town enjoying an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and Iron works, that gives employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, from - which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Went, enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed a junction with the Liverpool and to Norwich via Stoke, form in g Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitchurch, and passin4 through or near Malpas, have its norther n terminus in the .city of Chester. In estimating the probable annunt of revenue which the Worees %. and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of r 'lt present themselves, such are the dense populatioa located along this ,'Angth of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry in witch they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned the ch , na manufactories of Worcester; the iron, coal, and earthen ware w.olis at Broseley and other places; the agricultural produce brought to Stomport market; the inexhaustible fields of coal and mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridge, and the distri eta to the east of Shrewsbury generally. In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are also obvious. .-"he line traverses a district affording levels of several miles in ext tut, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi dent population, disappointed by the postponesseut of promised pro jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popuia lion being familiar with mining operations, will be found better qualified for tho execution of railway works here than in many other localities. As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary to existing or projected lines passing in various directions, few schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater inducement fur investment, or a wider range of accommodation for traffic and travelling. This project constitutes a lengthened link in the chain that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk et the West of England ;—lts southern terminus, Worcester, Is the half way station of the London and Port Dynullaen broad gauge line : by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded west ward to Swansea and Aberystwith, and, eastward, to Warwick and Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lynx, Lincoln, and Hull. The line has been repeatedly and carefully examined by the Com pany's acting engineer, who reports that the rail for many miles may be laid on the natural level—that the gradients are in every in .staneo favourable—that the geological structure of the districts to be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a line of com munication is acknowledged by the interests seated in its proposed course. - APPlleations for prospectuses and plans may be made, and forme applicatkm for shares had at the offices of Messrs.

S. and J. R. Poole At Tiverton At Truro At Penzance At Falmouth The object of this line is to effect a direct communication between London and the Land's End. In a national point of view such a line is indispensable. With the advantage of a direct railroad, Falmouth, from it, position at the western extremity of the kingdom, would undoubtedly long since have been the principal port on that coast. With the advantage of at least 280 miles of heavy road, that place has attained its high po sition as a Packet Station. Southampton, with fer less natural ad vantages, has, since the opening of the Routh-Western Railway, in creased its imports from 200,0001. to 3,000,0001. per annum. At Bris tol, before the opening of the Great Western Railway, the imports were declining ; since then they have very considerably inereaw4, The merits of a line to the Land's End as an investment for ea pital, it was not left to the present Company to discover. Thu Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways having already reached Exeter, it has been in contemplation to extend _that line to Fal mouth by way of Plymouth ; and various other projects have been set •on foot on the conviction that Falmouth must be reached by railway. The object of this prospectus is to show that no other line than the ! present can ultimately satisfy the exigencies of the eountry in regard to this, its most important outport—" the natural Packet Station of ' the empire." The present project is distinguished by this—that it is direct. It is as nearly as possible a straight line from London to, the Land's End. The London, Bath, and Bridgewater Company having alnallea" mated with this Company, the immense local influence cointatehole4 by them will no* contribute to the great national object of a direct line ; while means have been taken for securing the traffic anti afford ing all the accommodation contemplated by that Company. The Direct Western availing itself of the Great Western Railway so far as Reading, pursues its course by or near Newbury, Hunger ford, Great Bedwin, Marlborough, Devizes, the manufacturing dis trictßradfoofr Bradford Trowbridge direct to B ( a f t r h ora i, N w V i e i s c t h b u a ry d , i vFerrogmineg, l s ii h re ep * to n n i bo lu • au cat e rti t, ed We b ll y s (f ro m which ano T t a tt u e n r to di i ze b r e g i i n n t gl h h o t r e te w r il b l y be abo t o ak t t e h n irt t y o 4 B w r o id lo g i e l er os a t t h er m ), projected railways between aGolyasetoltburying otor these points; and without a tunne l.

A glance at the map will make it manifest that no competing trunk line can ever bo established between Tiverton and the Land's End. As between Taunton and Reading, an inspection of the map will show a vast ex tent of midland distrist, comprising rich and populous parts of Sc rnersetshire, Dorsetshire, and 'Wiltshire, now altogether destitute of railroad accommodation. Recurring to the features of this project as a national work, one of the greatest in point of magnitude, of vital importance in the event of war, and of almost incalculable advantage to tile general and packet commerce of the kingdom ; It ;may not be out of place to quote hero the following expressions of Sir Robert Peel. Speaking of the project of a direct lisle from London to Liverpool through the Trent Valley, which bore much the same relation to the Birmingham and Grand Junction that this bears to the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways, he is reported to have said :—" I consider that the com munication between the metropolis and the great outports to be not a question of hours, but a question of minutes." Of the necessity of this particular line, Parliament has already expressed an opinion ;Tor in the report of the Committee on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line, which was promoted by the Great Western Railway Company, it was stated that that Company had been required to pledge itself not hereafter to oppose a direct line to Falmouth ; and it may be further observed, that a proposed line from Plymouth to Falmouth was last session rejected, on the ground that it might be supposed to interfere with that great national object. :Maioley Arms, Monday and Tuesday, 22d and 23:1 ditto.

It is sufficient, as to these points, here to state that there are no engineering difficulties in any part of the line which have not been repeatedly surmounted in other cases ; that the first portion will be constructed at an unusually small expense; that the undertaking will meet with the cordial support, concurrence, and co-operation of the landowners, and that the Directors are justified in asserting that this will prove to be one of the most remunerative railways in the kingdom. Powers will be taken in the set of Parliament to allow interest at our pounds per centum per annum on the deposits, mad preference in the allotment of shares will be given to the proprietors of the land through which the line will pass, and to the shareholders in the Groat Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and other railways connected with the Direct Western district.

THE BRISTOL BATH, and BRIDGWATER GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY, Connecting with the Great Western Railway OR the one side, and on the other with the lintel and Exeter Railway, the following im portant places—Keynsham, Burnet, Marksbury, Stanton Priory, Farmborongh, Timsbury, High Littleton, Hallatron, Patilton,welion, Mkisummer, Norton, Radstoke, Kilmersdon, Newberry, Col eibrd, Eiut, Frome, Leigh-upon-Mendip, Stoke-lane, Downside, Shepton Mallet, rosscomfre, Dinder, the city of Wells, Coxley, Polsbam, Glastonbury, Street, Walter., Ashcot, Higher and Lower Pedwell, Greinton, Shipwick, Catcot, Edgington, Moorllnch, Sutton Mallet, Chedzoy, Dinwear, and Bridgwater. It is proposed that this Grand Junction line should start from near the station of the Great Western Railway at tseytisham, and proceed' by Burnet to Marksbury and Farinborough. Thence it will pass on the west side of Timsbury, and go on through the numerous and ex tensive coal works by Radford, Camerton, and Clandown, to Red stoke. Thence to Kilmerdown, which it will skirt on the western side, and thence through Babisgton to the eastern side of Newberry, from which there will be a branch line to Frome, passing by Elm on - the southern side. The main line will hold its course beside the Upper and Lower Mobster coal works and Goodeve's coal works, through Melcombe Wood to the southern point of Leigh-upon-Mendip. Thence it will proceed over Long Cross Bottom to the western side of Bodden, and to the eastern side of Shepton Mallet, and the western side of Downshire. Its course thence will be along the western sides of Ham, Crosscombe, and Dinder, to the southern po nt of the city of Wells. From this it will hold its way between Coxley and Coxley Pound to the western side of Southsay and the eastern side of Pol slums, and so on to the western side of Glastonbury, where it will cross the North-road. Thence passing Bickworthy Mill, it will skirt on the northern side Street and Walton, pass Ashcot on the southern side, proceed on the north side of Higher Pedwell between Shipwick and Greinton, and so on to the northern side of Moorlinch. Thence to the northern side of Sutton Mallet, then over Sutton Moor to Chedzoy, passing over Fowler's Plot, then through Dimwear to the southern side of the Bridgwater station on the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and thence spanning, the railway into the borough of Bridgwater. The length of the main line will be about forty-three miles ; that of the branch from Newberry to Frome, four miles seven furlongs. The line has been carefully laid down after accurate Investiga tions, and it presents no engineering difficulties whatsoever. There will be no tunnel or viaduct, or other costly work, and there will be no heavy cuttings or embankments. The line passes through a fer tile, rich, and populous district, and serves all the principal towns in the county of Somerset, and brings them into connexion with all the . reg ions traversed by the Great Western and the Bristol and Exete r Railways, and with the metropolis. It is so obvious that this Grand Junction Railway must command an immense traffic in passengers, goods, and minerals, that it would be idle to dilate on the subject. A prospectus containing the list of the Provisional Committee, the amount of capital required, the number of shares to be issued, and the names of the officers, will be published in a few days, accompanied by a map of the line and the adjacent country, laid down upon the scale of one inch to a mile.

The line will communicate with the Swanstington Railway either by means of the proposed Broughton Astley branch of the Midlands, or of a separate branch to be formed by this Company ; thereby opening. the entire of the Leicestershire coal-field to the counties south-east of Leicester. The Directors, for the last few months, having used their best exertions for the interests of the Company, feel it their duty, now that the surveys, plans, and other arrangements are sofar advanced, to acquaint their shareholders with the position and prospects of the undertaking. The Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton line, which received the favourable report of the Board of Trade, and was before Parliament last session, forms part of the present projected plan for connecting Leicester, Coventry, and Birmingham. The Directors have, by personal inspection, accompanied by their engineer, satisfied themselves of the remarkable facilities presented by the district for executing the greater part of the line ; and from careful investigation the Directors have the pleasure of informing the shareholders that this undertaking eannot fail to prove a profitable investment if supported by local traffic only, and with the certainty that a through traffic from the eastern and western lines, combined with the great advantages afforded by the junction with the Trent Valley for the tr.nsit of goods to and from Liverpool, Scotland, Ire land, and the United States, its importance cannot be over estimated. Front the extent of population accommodated by this railway —from the convenience afforded to the trade and manufactures of the Midland Counties—from the vast mineral resources of the dis tricts traversed, and from its position in regard to other important,' established, and projected railways, the Directors feel confident that it will be amply remunerative to the Shareholder, and highly advan tageous to the public. The capital has bean subscribed, and the parliamentary deeds have been executed, and the preliminary survey completed. A list of a new and highly influential local direction, and a snap of the line, will be published in a few days. By order, H. CASSIN, Secretary pro tens.

The main line is intend ed to commence by a j unction with the r e e reth London and Croydon Railway, near New Cross, passing through Lewisham to Bromley, from thence through Otford, near Sevenoaks, Ightham, Town .Malling, East Maine, and Ditton, to the town of Maidstone; having a Principal station there near Week-street, In front of the Seselous-house and county gaol, from thence passing through Hollingbourne, Harrietsham, Lenhatn, and Charing, to Ashford. The line to Tunbridge will branch from Ightham, and take the course of the valley by West Peckham and Hadlow to Tunbridge, communicating with the South-Eastern Railway from Tunbridge to Tunbridge Was. The whole length of the lines to be constructed will be sixty-tour miles. The country has been carefully surveyed, and, with the exception of a tunnel through the Chalk-hill, near Otford, the works are not of an expensive character, and the lines are free from curves or gra dients of an objectionable nature. The line will be laid down so as to be adapted to the locomotive or atmospheric principle, which ever mode of propulsion it may ulti mately be found most advisable to adopt. By reference to the map of Kent it will be perceived that the lines of the proposed railway are those indicated by the natural features of the country ; that such railways are calculated to effect in the most advantageous manner the great objects of direct n through" communication between London andYolkestone and Dover, and be tween London and Tunbridge and Tunbridge Wells, taking the nearest pr .cticable line to Beentley, Sevenoaks, Maidstone, Lenhain, and Ashford, and by a cemparatively trifling expense in forming a short braneleilmn Weetwell, to join the present railway from Ashford to Canterbury, at Wye, placing the city of Canterbury, and the whole of the district emninunicating with that city, within a few miles in dist:tnee and a few minutes in time as near to London as could be effected by the outlay of a vast sum in the construction of a separate railway to Canterbury, affording also themeans of railway commu nication between Canterbury and Maidstone (the county towns of East ;sod West Kent), and the other principal towns, and generally throughout the co lay. In further explanation of the merits of the proposed lines, it may be noticed that Maidstone, the county town of Kent, is situate lit the centre of the county , on the river Medway, contains the county gaol, courts of justice, cavalry depot, and various other public esta blishments ; that the assizes and se ssions are held at Maidstone, and that the county business generally is there conducted ; that by means of the.central situation of Maid stone, and the advantages of the navi gation of the river, a very large wholesale business numer is carried son there ; that the town and im mediate vicinity contain ous an extensive paper manufactories, mills, breweries, iron founderies, and other works, and that the district surrounding Maidstone comprises the most extensive bop and fruit plantation w s in nes s e t railway purpose of reducing the dista nc e betsvoen London and Folkestone and Dover, and between London and Maidstone, has been fully admitted ; and the want of railway communication between Bromley, Sevenoaks, Wrothain, and other principal p oxes in the centre of the county, not only with London, but with the ell)" largonterbary 2 1114 Meidstune, bile been of serious to eery portiOn of the county: And it has been thought meet ittleisnblO fOf this interests of the county and the public, that a' measure of such total its .ad well as general importance should be undertaken by a Company tbrnee.l for the express purpose of carrying out the project ; uninflu enced by any conflicting interests, and comiecled with, and as far as practiceble identified with, the county.

The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Company will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed from thence by Eccieshall, Oftley, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Dormington Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Bewley, 31adeley, and Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed " Wor cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenlock.- edge, by Rushbury and Eaton-under -Haywood, to Wistanstow, in the county of Salop, where it will run into, and form a junction with tits " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway." The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire coal-field, to a depbt proposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the supply of South Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and Herefordshire, and also from whence it will be conveyed by the "Hereford, Shrews bury, and North Wales Railway," into Montgomeryshire and the neighbouring counties, where coal does not exist. It is imp ossib l e to calculate.the extent to which th is traffic may be carried, as by the direct railway communication thus opened between the Shropshire coal-fleld, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown and Llanidloes, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at water Power, thou places, and the flannel manufacturers, now depend ing upon will, by the cheapness of coal, be enabled'to employ steam, and to extend their trade in proportion to the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, Endueerence to any other. The importa nce of this sub j ect will have ita weight with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused by the stoppage of the mills from an insufficiency of water. A - considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shrop ship jrpnmasters,f or the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh bourhood gpch Wenlock to' the furnaces, by several transits of lima and water caralaz t e, whereas the proposed railway will convey it direct into the heart of the h+Hfl:P and at one-third of the expense.

The proposed railway is intended to commence on the Trent Valley Railway near Stafford, and proceed thence in an easterly di rection, to pass through, or near to, Tixall; Haywood, Colwich, and Abbott's Bromley, to the rapidly-increasing town of Burton-upon- Trent; where it will run into the Birmingham and Derby Railway, forming the shortest and best practicable route from Staffordshit e to Derby. Leaving the Birmingham and Derby Railway at Burton upon-Trent, it will proceed along the valley of the Trent by Repton, Swarkestone, and Shardlow, to the Midland Counties Railway at the point where that railway forms a junction with the Derby and Not tingham Railway ; and thus, by means of these and other railways in progress, form a complete line of railway communication between the central towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln, Leices ter, Peterborough, and Boston, on the east, and Shrewsbury, Ches ter, and Holyhead, North Wales, and Ireland, on the west. This railway will, therefore, form the only connecting link re quired In the great chain of railway communication from east and west through the heart of the kingdom, uniting the shores of the German Ocean on the east with those of the Irish Sea on the west, and traversing in its course the rich agrtcultural districts of the eastern midland, and western counties, and accommodating the im portant manufacturing towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lei cester, and Shrewsbury. But another most important advantage that will result from the formation of this line will consist in the fact of its affording, in connexion with the proposed South Union, or Manchester and Potteries Railway, by far the shortest and best route between Derby, Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, Peterborough, Leicester, and Loughborough, and the extensive and populous dis tricts of the Staffordshire Potteries, Macclesfield, Stockport, and Manchester. By the proposed line the distance between Nottingham and Derby and Manchester will be at least from 15 to 20 miles less than by the present circuitous route by Sheffield. The traffic on this line must necessarily be equal, if not superior, to that of any line in the district. The length of the line will be about 33 miles, through a country presenting.no difficulties of more than an ordinary kind for Its con struction. The capital proposed to be raised is COO,OOO/., in shares of 201. each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid upon the allotment. No call will be made until the Act is obtained, and no subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription ; and the usual power will be taken to allow interest at four per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening of the line. The subscribers' agreement and the Parliamentary contract must be executed when the bankers' receipts arc exchanged for scrip cer tificates, of which 14 days' notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be forfeited.

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of passengers and goods from Kingston to Montego Bay and the inter mediate ports, either by sea or land, is well known to all persons conversant with the islan 1 of Jamaica. The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and King ston, occupies forty-four hours ; and the costs, including expenses on the route, amount to nearly 51. each passenger, while the quickest journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including horse hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole line will be traversed in eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an average of 30s. per passenger. • The difference in the freights between 'the northern and southern sides of the island and England is such, that independently of the saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at much loss expense than at present, and will afford them the advan tage of shipping at all times from the very excellent harbour of King ston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed porta of the east and north of the Island. The line will commence at a spacious quay, to be constructed at Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of the largest tonnage employed in the export trade of the Island ; at or near to which point it is proposed to form a junction with the King ston and Spanish Town Railway, and proceed thence by or near Rock Fort, Yaltahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Anot to Bay, Port Maria, St. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near Montego Bay. By these means a line of intercommunication will be formed between the most important and populous places, and facility offered for carriage of the produce of the most predictive portion of the island. Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of moun tains, which run east and west, nearly the length of the island ; the eastern portion, from Port Morant to Plantain Garden, is almost level ; while the northern runs through an exceedingly rich country, rising into hills separate from each other by spacious vales. The whole of the country traversed by the line abounds in the staple ar ticles of sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other spices, dye wood, drugs, &c.; and as more than one-third of the land is still uncultivated, the production of these articles will, by the increased facility for traffic, be greatly increased; and cotton, indigo, cocoa, Esc., and dry stuffs, at present unimported, will again be brought into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety abounds along the line ; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes spontaneously, there are mahogany, lignum vita;, ebony, Spanish elm, toe cedar, and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will also bring largely into use the valuable palmetto, and various other woods for agricultural and household purposes, and cabinet works. The mineral wealth of the country on the line is very considerable ; lead ore is extremely rich and heavily impregnated with silver; whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate et' lime, valuable as manure, &c., of which Long Mountain is com posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic. The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction of this Railway render it highly probable that a considerable portion of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material* necessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cut tings and embankments will be generally superseded. . A gratuitous grant of tile unappropriated land required for the line, and the free use of all the timber, stone, &e., necessary for its con struction, will, it is expected, he coded by the Legislative Assembly ; —tile mineral wealth, which may be developed by the construction of the line, will accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased to capitalists ior the benefit of the Shareholders. Of the various imports, and the internal traffic, a satisfactory esti mate can scarcely be given — it will be sufficient to state, that C oal s, t e is a n d , , Lime and provisions, Cattle, Flen r, To h a eoe, Har dwares , and Salt, empty Puneheeils, Shingles, Bricks, Hoops, Manufactures generally, re —ran important sources of profit. The working expenses of the railway will require but a moderate per centage, and from all the circumstances already stated, and care ful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of railway will yield a very remunerative return upon the eallital re quired, and the speedy eenaMullieetloll established between the island and Great Pritalft, by means of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, win 'enable the Directors in this country to exercise an efficient control over the management of the affairs of the island. The Committee propose to make provision in the Local Act (Or the payment of 4h per cent, interest upon the amount paid upon the shares from the passing of the Bill until the opening of the line.

TAYLOR'S FLOATING BREAKWATER.—We regret to notice the exceedingly unsatisfactory nature of the reports which have been made to the Admiralty on the subject of Captain Taylor's floating breakwater off Brighton by the Coast-guard officers. These reports are embraced in a re turn which has been printed by order of the House of Com mons. It appears that for many months there was no gale from the south. west—the quarter necessary to test the powers and action of the breakwater, and when at last, on the 2d of August, a strong breeze sprang up, the experiment can hardly be said to have been really tried ; for the report of the Lieutenant of the revenue cutter Tartar, whilst it states that the breakwater had no effect that he could perceive, in part accounts for this result by saying that the sections of the breakwater were moored very slack, and the inspecting commander further observes, that " from the small number of sections laid down, also from those being so slackly moored and improperly placed, it is impossible to form any correct opinion of their efficiency for shelter, or whether they could stand the force of a gale, broadside on." More than three months previously Lieutenant Westbrook had in his official report objected to the insufficiency of the size of the breakwater, as too small to warrant any decided opinion ; he said "he much regretted being re quired to express an opinion upon so few as only three sections of only sixty feet lone-. each." If it were worth while to examine the matter, it was worth while to have afforded means for trying it on a sufficient scale. That it is worth while to try the experiment fully we can hardly doubt, when we consider how vast a sum is about to be sunk in our southern harbours; and, if some time has been unpro fitably lost, it is but the stronger reason for taking a different course now. The comparative ease and rapidity with which a floating breakwater can be constructed is a strong argu ment for pursuing the inquiry into its efficiency; for, sup posing that it should turn out that its efficiency also is merely comparative, it may yet be desirable to enlilloy it whilst the more solid structure is in course et' .rection and when that object is effected, the float;-, - ,g breakwater may be allow e d either to remain as ai..l auxiliary to it, or may be transferred elsewhere to a station of less importance. The Admiralty ought scarcely to have needed Lieutenant Westbrook's hint; they might have known that 60 yards of floating breakwater, loosely moored, could not be expected to have any perceptible effect ; it was no more than an overgrown buoy, and the sea would merely play round it; but whose fault is It that a larger section was not presented to the action of the waves ? Surely, not that of Captain Taylor, wbo, we believe„,has made every pecuniary sacrifice for the success of thi experiment, while the Admiralty have contented themselves with re maining ecAtl apeetators of' his struggles. A breakwater of Awl; otie quarter to half a mile is the least that would indi- Cate the worth of the plan; and when we consider the num ber and weight of the scientific real.ons that have been urged in support of ti% opinion that the action and influence of the KwA the sea are y or y superficial, we hope to see the experiment fairly tri . e.4.--Times. ...L ELANCIROX.F 'DEATH OF MRS.

The facts of the ease are these : —Mrs. Theobald, in company with a gentleman, on passing by the fields of Mr. Hunipbaes, farmer, of Hanworth, made a request to, he AlkoWed to try her horse over the stubble, was readily granted. She entered, but had not gone far; when the horse fell, and the crutch of her saddle breaking p i t tiie 414 tlim she was thrown on her head with great Yicikinks Ste remained senseless for some time. Mr. Hum prie,s sent immediately for Mr. Hobarton, surgeon, of Hamp ton, who readily attended. He, however, from the first, saw that there existed no hopes of Mrs. Theobald'a recovery.
