SECRETARY—Edward Hart Hart, Esq. °moss—No. 1, Royal Exchange-buildings, London ; and 36, Upper Temple street, Birmingham It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull, at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica tion will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite. Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29 lines, inlength, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid land Counties Railway The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be Carried forward as far as Gainsborougb, either by the proposed Not tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing out of the line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by the Midland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament. From Gainsborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the- Humber, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between Birmingham and Hull. By this project the advantages will result to the public of A Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham, Birmingham to Gainsborough, and from Birmingham to Hull; and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway, and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Alrewas, direct line from Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottingham, arid the other towns already enumerated. The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the line, whick, together with its own merits, will ensure its mimeos in Parliament. As a considerable portion of the line of communication is already made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this great national undertaking will be materially shortened. Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu nication between the important seaport of Hull and the mixing and manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large traffic in timber, sort', metals, %c., may be confidently expected. The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir mingham to Hull, the port at which the exports are skipped to Nam burgh, the German States, and the North of Vurope ; and from the conveyance of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the southern, western, and midland counties. A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners on the line, and other loeal proprietors, as well as to directors and shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking. No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his Meer' ption The usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate offonr per cent. from the time of paymeit upon each call until the opeiing of the lines. So applications will be attended to without a referent's to a amber of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be wlecuted when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi •:ates, of which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party making dethult in the execution of thoee deeds will be for- Nted. Plans and prospeetusee, with forms ofapplications for shares, may be /lad of the Solicitors, and of the following Stock and Sharebrokers, :—Messrs.

The Committees- of Direction of these undertakings have great satisfaction in acquainting the Shareholders, that they have made arrangements for the lease in perpetuity of both railways, as soon as they shall have received the sanction of Parliament to the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Manchester Railway Company, at an annual rent of 5 per cent. on the cost of the lines, such rent to become and remain 5% per cent. as soon as the net profits realise that return ; and the further profits to be equally divided between both parties. The Directors confidently anticipate the certainty of the success of both projects in Parliament, in consequence of the unusually powerful local support which the undertakings have already ob tained, and the great assistance from other influential parties, which the above arrangement with a company already incorporated has secured, following out, as it does fully, the suggestions of the Board of Trade in connexion with the legitimate extensions east ward of the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Manchester Railway.

The length of the line will be about 56 miles. The advantages that will result hem the construction of this line are numerous and highly important, and each as cannot fail to secure a very large Amount of local and through traffic, and a highly-re munerative return, upon the capital invested. By means of existing and proposed railer aye it will form a complete chain of railway com munication betw*e the whole of the midland and north-eastern counties ofEnglasee the populous cities and towns before-named, and the southern and western districts, and thus bring Leicester, Not tingham, Newark, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Great Grimsby, and Hull, into direct communication with the favourite and fashionable spas of Leamington and Cheltenham, the richly-productive and far-famed Vale of Evesham,' and the seaports of Gloucester, Bristol, Plymouth, and Falmouth, and those of South Wales. The inhabitants and visitors of the much-frequented watering places of Leamington and Cheltenham will thus obtain a direct line between those resorts, instead of the present circuitous route through Birmingham, affording that facility of intercommunication which has long been ardently desired ; and it will also afford the uttnost fa cility of access to the innumerable visitors who, attracted as Nell by the beauty of the scenery as the memory of Snakspeara, aniqually Tco , srt to ritratthrd-on-A - rofty 1/I.l' ' To those passengers from the east and nortn-east, d ,.. e ‘ to Gloucester, the line from Tewkesbury, cutting off the angle or` he Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to Cheltenham, will &Mere a great accommodation, and a saving in distance of at least eigh, miles, besides the delay of the stoppage at Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of the ancient and populous borough of Tewkes bury this portion of the proposed line will prove immensely advan tageous ; situated within ten miles of the important city and pert of Gloucester, they have nevertheless to travel by the present railway route nearly twice that distance, an Inconvenience which has already materially affected the trade, and prejudiced the interests of the town. The proposed line, running close to the town, will remove this great inconvenience, and restore its trade to its former state of prosperity. The value of this line to the city and port of Gloucester cannot be too highly estimated, as it will not only open to it immense sources of traffic from the whole of the eastern and north-eastern counties, but will very materially lessen the distance between it and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire, making Gloucester still more securely the nearest and most accessible outlet for the whole of that immensely productive manufacturing region, and it is impossible to conceive any project better calculated to advance the interests of Gloucester, than one capable of effecting that object. Ths line will also form an important junction between the London and Birmingham and Midlands Railways, and the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, and constitute the highway for the traffic of the former, and of all the north-eastern railways, to the proposed Man chester and Southampton Railway at Cheltenham ; and the through traffic from the latter source alone is expected to be very great. It will thus have the effect of connecting the ports of the eastern and north-eastern with those of the western and southern coasts ; of affording the most direct and convenient access from the north and east to the vast mineral regions of South Wales, and of opening new markets for the rich products of the fertile valleys of the Avon and Sevens, and the agricultural districts of Warwickshire and Wor cestershire, in the manufacturing towns and ports of the north. The line will be easy of construction, traversing, as it does, through nearly its whole length, the valleys of the Avon and Severn. The towns through which it will run are very populous, and the country of the richest description ; and the local traffic will consequently be very great in addition to the through traffic, which on such a line must necessarily be very extensive. The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the power to amalgamate with any other company as to the whole or any part of the line, and to vary or extend the line, arid to increase er diminish the capital accordingly, if deemed expedient. proposed to be raised is 1,000,0001 . , i n s h ares of 20 1 ., h a deposit of 21. 2e. per share mast be paid upon allotment.

By order, HENRY BROOKES, Secretary. AVON AND SEVERN VALLEY RAILWAY. At a PUBLIC MEETING of the Inhabitants of the borough of Tewkesbury, held at the Tewn-hall, on Monday, the 27th October, 1845, convened by the Worshipful the Mayor, " For the purpose of taking into considerntion the merits of such of the projected lines of railway as were intended to pass through or near to the town of Tewkesbury," The Worshipful the MAYOR in the Chair, It was moved by B. itlmurrs, Esq., seconded by ANTIIONY Sr Routs, Esq.,— That this meeting considers the line of railway proposed to be made by the Avon and Severn Valley Railway Company highly ad vantageous to the interests of the town of Tewkesbury, and recom mends that project to the support of the inhabitants and those of the neighbourhood. The resolution was put and carried by an overwhelming majority, two hands only being held up against it. The Mayor having left the Chair, It was moved by Iticusan Foan, Esq., Solicitor to the Avon and Severn Valley Railway Company, and seconded by C. G. JONES, Esq., and carried by acclamation,— That tke best thanks of the meeting be given to the Mayor ter his 01e, impartial, and courteous conduct in the Clair. Chairman-Sir RICHARD BULkELE — Y — . I'HILIPS PHILIPS, Bart., M.P., Picton Castle, Pembrokeshire. - The Committee of Mananagement have the satisfaction of stating that most advantageous arrangements have now been concluded with the Saundersfoot Railway and Harbour Company for the use of their line, harbour, and other works, which will considerably lessen the estimated cost of the proposed undertaking, and ensure the supply of every material for the works at a very reduced price. The new works will now consist only of a short branch of about three-quarters of a mile, to effect a junction between the Saunders foot and South Wales Railway and another to the harbour of Saun dersfoot, with a line of about six miles to the favourite watering place of Tenby. That part of the Saundersfoot line which will be used for the present railway can be adapted at a very moderate cost, and without interfering with the existing valuable coal line and mineral traffic ; and the present Company will enter into the receipt of the profits derivable from this source immediately on the Act being obtained, thus securing an immediate return to the shareholders. The requisite notices of Mention to apply to Parliament In the ensuing session are prepared, and will be at once advertised, as required by the standing orders of the Houses of Parliament, and the surveys, plans, and sections are in a sufficient state of forwardness to ensure their deposit early In November. The consent of nearly all the landowners on the line has been as sured, the project is warmly supported by the mayor, corporation, and inhabitants of Tenby, and there is every reason to believe it will receive the sanction of the South Wales Railway Company; so that it is expected the measure will be entirely unopposed. For further particulars the public is referred to the prospectuses of the Company, which may be obtained of the solicitors and local agents ; and of Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, Threadneedle -street, London ; Edwards and Son, and Wreford and Co., Bristol ; Beau mont and Langworthy, Exeter ; J. Woods, jun., Liverpool ; J.

NORTHERN COUNTIES (ROSS and CRO- N! ARTY, SUTHERLA.ND, and CAITHNESS) DIRECT RAILWAY. Capital 1,500,0001., in 75,000 Shares of 201. each. Deposit 21. 2s. per Share. The Counties of Ross and Cromarty, Sutherland, and Caithness, form, probably, the largest and most important portion of Great Bri tain for which the benefits of railway communication have not yet been secured. In no part of the kin,edem, considering their distance from the capital, from • the seats of manufacture, and from markets, have greater improvements of all kinds been made of late years, than in these counties. In arable and pastoral farmitig, the skill, enterprise, and industry of the tenantry have placed them on a level with the best agriculturists and store masters, and halm obtained for their corn, cattle, and sheep, the highest prices of he southern markets. To the opening up of the country by the ro Is and bridges of the Parliamentary Commissioners, executed wit in tile last 40 years, are these improvements chiefly attributable ; Ind their effect in //1- i s creasing the value of property in these countl is very remarkable. No means can be so effectual for promoti 4 anti stimulating their further advancement, as by the introductirm of railways, whereby the produce of these counties may beMnore rapidly and cheaply brought into the manufacturing all,' consuming districts of the kingdom. , To effect this most desirable end ;,;t Company is being formed, as has been already announced, to eaecsate a railway commencing at the terminus of that which may be fit ,st completed to Inverness, and thence proceeding northward, by D ingwan, through the county of Ross, and by or near Bonar, along . the south or Latrg side of the River Shin into Sutherland, and tlelough that county, by Allehintoul, into Caithness, in the eastern porilb en of which the line will diverge into two branches, terminating ref4eeetively at the towns of Thurso and Wick. The most direct practicable route, consistent with economy in the execution and working of the line, am 3 / 4 with the rights of all parties, will be adopted throughout. In compliance with the desire of sei trot large proprietors in the eastern district of the county of Ross, it ht.'s been determined that the trunk or main line stall proceed to Invergk rdon and Tain, and thence into Sutherland and Caithness. It is also intended to combine with the execution of the railway, and, in connexion with it, the enlargement and improvement of the present harbour of Invergordon (by arrangement with the proprietor), so as to make that anchorage, which possesses all the advantages of the celebrated Bay of Cromarty (still, as in ancient times, the largest and safest harbour of refuge on the east coast of Scotland), the port not only for the counties of Ross and Cromarty, but also for all the country northwards. The mutual advantages to Invergordon and the whole country in respect to those imports and exports which must still be sea-borne, need only be alluded to to be appreciated. At no other place on the east coast of Scotland, from the Frith of Tay to Duncansby Head (the extremity of Caithness) could so good a harbour be possibly formed, there being at Invergerdon 11 fathoms water (close to the present wooden jetty) at the lowest of spring tides, and perfect shelter, with singular facility for ingress and egress from and to the German Ocean ; and the expense of the requisite works will be com paratively very unimportant. Besides the importance of completing, as is thus contemplated, an unbroken line of railway transit for passengers and goods, and the rapid transmission of the mail from tke capital to the northern ex tremity of Scotland, the county of Orkney and Zetland will thereby, and with the aid of the powerful steamer about to be established be tween Thurso and Orkney, have a daily and speedy intercourse with the mails land of Scotland, onward to the manufacturing districts of the kingdom, and to the metropolis. The prolongation of a railway from Inverness to Thurso on the One hand, and the admirable roadstead and harbour of Scrabster, which, from Its natural position—admitting of vessels entering and departing with any wind—would, in connexion with the railway, command the Baltic and North American trade ; and, en tile other, to tile Important and rapidly-improving town of Wick, the capital of tke northern herring and deep sea fisheries, which require only such a stimulus as the proposed measure will supply to increase their value incalculably, by affording the ready and certain means of conveying their products into all parts of the country, is obviously an under taking of the greatest national importance, embracing the develop ment ef the natural resources of the northern counties and their ex tensive sea coasts, the continued prosperity and wealth of their in habitants and the general trade, and, it may be hereafter, even the additional security of the empire. The most populous district in proportion to its extent in Ross and Cromarty, and until late years (considering its capabilities) the least improved, is that lying between the Muir of Ord on the south and the town of Cromarty on the north, commonly called " the Black Isle." For the benefit of this district, a line is intended to be made from the point which may be found most desirable as a station with reference to the towns of Cromarty and Fortrose, and the harbour of Invergordon, to join the main line at the Muir of Ord, with a short branch to the nearest good station on the north side of the Ferry of Kessock. The Muir of Ord being now the place where the greatest and most frequent stock markets in Scotland, north of Falkirk. are held, it is of great importance C. the western Highlands of Ross-shire that their communication with the Muir of Ord, as well as their access to the main line of railway, should be facilitated ; and it is, therefore, contemplated forming a brands line from the Muir of Ord to the upper part of tile valley of Stratligarve, being the nearest point to the Lews at present accessible by a railway, and accommodating, at the same time, the extensive districts of Boas-shire lying to the north, west, and south-west of Strathgarve. The preliminary survey of the main line has been completed. Its whole length is about 150 mlles, and the greater portion of it is of easy construction The proposed capital is considered adequate to cover every expense, including the completion of the harbour at Invergordon ; but should additional capital be found necessary for the proposed branches, power will be taken to raise it. The principaL proprietors have already offered the land and the building materials in the neighbourhood of the line, free from all charge, for the purposes of the railway. _ _ Na only will they, and the northern counties generally, benefit in calculably by the completion of the work, but the shareholders may expect a fair, and in no long time, ample return for their investments In a line which has not, and can never have, a rival. Interest at 4 per cent. will be allowed on all calls paid up, and the Act incorporating the Company will provide that no shareholder shall be liable beyond the amount of his subscription. Until the A c t b e _ . obtained the liability of the subscribers will be restricted to their actual deposits ; and of these there shall not, in any event, be ex- pended a larger sum than ss. per shar e without the express authority of a general meeting of tho subscribers. The names of the Provisional Committee (embracing 'those of the principal proprietors in the north) will be speedily published ; but meanwhile it may be stated, that the support the present undertaking has already received from individuals fully able to accomplish this most important work, leaves no doubt of its complete success. The acting engineers will be Joseph Mitchell, Esq., F.R.S.E., M.LC.E., Inverness; and J. F. Bateman, Esq., C.E., Manchester; with Thomas Page, Esq., Westminster, as consulting engineer. A minute survey has been ordered of the whole line, and, when completed, a map of it will be published ; meanwhile, copies of the prospectus, and of the form of application for shares, will be obtained at the National Bank of Scotland, or any of its Branches, and at the offices et the London and Westminster Bank, and of Me-era.

This railway is intended, by means of a junction with the Edin burgh and Hawick and the Caledonian, and Caledonian Extension lines, to form a direct communication between Newcastle and Edin burgh and Glasgow. Starting from the Newcastle and North Shields Railway station at Newcastle, the main line will proceed northward by Coxlodge, and thence, by nearly a straight line, in the direction of Ponteland and Betsey, by Lislesburr. to Woodburn, on the Reed, whence it will follow the course of that river, passing Horsely, Bird hope, Woolaw, Catcleugh, and Whitelee, to Carter Fell, where the Border will be crossed by a tunnel into Scotland, and so on to Hawick, where it will join the before-mentioned lines from that town to Edinburgh and Glasgow. By this line the distance by railway between Newcastle and Edin burgh will be very materially shortened, whilst it will form the shortest and (except by the circuitous route of the east coast line), the only railway eommunication from Newcastle to Glasgow. It is also intended, by a branch from the main line at Woodburn, down the Valley of the North Tyne, to join the Newcastle aid Car lisle Railway near Hexham, and thus, by the lines now proposed to be made, to form a direct communication from London to Scotland, by the Midland and shortest route. It will be observed, that the terminus at Newcastle has been altered ;—this has been done after mature consideration, and with the view of affording to the proposed line the additional facility of ship ment, by means of the tunnel which the Newcastle and Shields Rail way Company are under engagements, by their Act, to make from their line to the Quayside, and of the proposed branch from that line, at Percy Main, to the intended Docks at Coble Dean. The union which has just been effected between the North Tyne Junction, and the Newcastle, Hawick, Edinburgh, and Glasgow Junction Companies, gives to the united Company the countenance and support of nearly the whole of the landed proprietors, as well as of tile owners and lessees of the extensive coal fields and ironworks in the districts through which the proposed line will pass. Amongst the various sources of revenue which will accrue to the proposed line, the following may be briefly adverted to :—Facilities will be afforded for the transit of lime and manure to, and of agricul tural products from, the extensive and valuable districts of North umberland, stretching in a north-westerly direction from Newcastle to the Scottish border, and the fertile counties of Roxburgh, Selkirk, Peebles, and Lanark; whilst the transport of live stock, from the same districts will be in an especial degree facilitated by this line, since the roads, used for generations by the Scottish, drovers, will be intinunediate contact with it for a considerable portion of its length. The supply of coal to the populous manufacturing districts of Scot land, including the towns of Hawick, Jedburgh, Kelso, Melrose, Galashiels, Peebles, Lanark, &c., has become an urgent necessity. And the proposed line, proceeding as It does from the extensive coal fields of the south-eastern portion of Northumberland, and through the hitherto unapproachable seams if coal up the course of the Reed, will become the principal means of supplying it, and thus derive an abundant s3urce of revenue from its transit; as a proof of which, coals are at present shipping, in considerable quantities, from New castle to Glasgow, through the Caledonian Canal, at heavy tonnage rates, far exceeding the coot of transit by the proposed line, through the entire distance from Newcastle to Glasgow. An important feature, presented by this undertaking, is the de velopment, which will thereby be afforded, of extensive beds of minerals in the districts of the North Tyne and Reed, especially of limestone and ironstone ; tile latter of great richness and superiority, for the manufacture of which extensive works are now in operation at Hareshaw and Ridsdale, and others are projected and in course of erection, the entire produce of which would be conveyed by the proposed line to Newcastle, fbr consumption and shipment By means of this line, the Tyne will become the most expeditious ♦nd economical place of shipment for all that portion of the manufac tures of Glasgow, and other manufacturing towns before mentioned, intended for the eastern coast of England and the northern ports of Earope. Lastly, the passenger traffic between the towns on the western side of Scotland, and the eastern and middle portions of England, added to the great, local, and general traffic on the several parts of the line, will form a large and constantly increasing item ofreturn, always aided by the consideration, that the line laid down for this railway will shorten the distance from the western and many other parts of Scotland, to all the eastern portions of England, by not less than thirty miles From these united sources will flow an amount of income, that will abundantly compensate the shareholders for the outlay upon the line. A survey is rapidly proceeding, which the Committee are assured by the engineers will be completed in time to deposit the requisite plans, and to enable them to obtain an Act In the next session of Par liament for, at least, that part of the line which will lay open a very considerable portion of the agricultural and mineral wealth, which will form so important a feature in the general value of the under taking.

The Committee of Management of this Company have much plea sure in laying before the Shareholders the following brief Report from the Company's Engineer on the progress of the survey of the line:— " Leeds and Carlisle Railway, London, Oct. 29, 1845. " Wir,—ln reply to your letter of this day, I hare to request tbat you will inform the Committee that I have just returned from a tour over the line, and beg to report that the surveys for Parliament are proceeding very favourably; the whole of the ground survey will, I fully expect, be completed this week or early in next ; and about one half of the line is now being engraved, and the remainder will be in the engraver's hands next week. The solicitors are proceeding with the reference, and the finished levels for the Parliamentary sections are in progress, so that we fully expect that the whole will be ready about the third week of next month, in good time for the deposit. The gradients, also, for the most part, will be favourable, although there will necessarily be some heavy work at the summit. The line is laid out with a view to avoid the ornamental property ; and, upon the whole, we have been very successful, and the landowners, I learn, are generally favourable. "I am, Sir, your most humble servant, (Signed) " JOHN RENNIE. " C. Locock Webb, Esq., " Cresham-rooms, Basinghall-street." The Committee may trust that the friendly negotiations which they have entered into with other Companies will result to the mutual advantage of all parties. The Committee have great satisfaction In being enabled to state that this Company, from its financial position, as well as the pro- gress of the survey and notices, will be prepared to comply with the standing orders of Parliament, and proceed with the Bill this en suing session.

This proposed railway, while it will connect the manufacturing towns of Dundee and Forfar by the nearest and most direct route, will form a continuous and connecting link at the river Tay with the follow ing great railways :—The Edinburgh and Northern, the proposed Glasgow and Dundee Junction, and the Perth and Dundee lines; and, at the Forfar Terminus, will meet the Scottish Midland Junc tion from Edinburgn and Perth, and its proposed extension to the Aberdeen Railway at Laurencekirk, also the Forfar and Arbroath Railway, which joins the Aberdeen Railway at Friockheim—thus amalgamating with these various railways, and forming a continu ous and centrical trunk for the general railway communication from England through Scotland. This line will be about fifteen miles in length, and, viewed only 111 a local connecting line between Dundee and Forfar, it is in a great degree called for by the manufacturers, merchants, and farmers of the district. It will beyond all question, from this source alone, have a traffic sufficient for ample remuneration to the shareholders. For far is the county town, and there is necessarily a considerable inter course with Dundee. To parties locally versant with this manufac turing district, the very extensive traffic and intercourse between Dundee and Forfar are well known. The population of the district connected with the line, is about 100,000. Dundee, from its proximity to Forfar, and its extensive shipping capabilities, is the proper and convenient port for exporting the pro duce of the district, but at present there is no direct railway com munication. The expense of transmitting goods at present between Dundee and Forfar is fully double what it should be, and in a great measure performed by horse carriage, an expensive and tedious pro cess; but the formation of this railway will open up a direct and cheap communication, and will unquestionably benefit the trade and agriculture of the district. The line passes through a rich agricultural district, for the pro duce of which the farmers will by it find an easy and expeditious transit to Dundee, both forth consumpt and exportation ; and the agricultural value of the lands will be considerably increased by the direct communication with the town and harbour of Dundee, and the railways running south from the Tay. The extensive pave ment and slate quarries around Forfar and along the district will be greatly enhanced by the line, as a cheap and easy access to Dundee for exportation will thus be afforded. The promoters of this railway, viewing the extensive local traffic, the junction with the whole railways before enumerated in con nexion with the great English trunk railways, have no hesitation in submitting this uncle; taking to the public, not only as ono necessarily called for by the mercantile, manufacturing, and 'agricultural inte rests of the district, and public co•;venlency, but more especially by its being the direct centrical line, forming a continuation of the rail way communication by the Edinburgh and Northern and Glasgow Junction lines, through the counties of Fife and Forfar, to Aberdeen and the north of Scotland. As a safe investment for capital, this line, being thus in the midst of a great manufacturing district, and from the present formation of railway communication at both ends, will present the sure prospect of being highly advantageous. The district has already been surveyed, and precents no difficulty to the formation of the railway; and the proprietors and tenants along the line are understood to be very favourable to the under taking. The requisite Parliamentary notices have been given, so that the Bill may be introduced and passed in the ensuing Session ; and the Company's engineer will immediately proceed to finish a minute survey of the whole line and termini at Dundee and Forfar. The Company will have also power by their notices to form the line by a junction with the Dundee and Arbroath Railway at Broughty Ferry, if this can bo considered consistent with the direct and unin terruptel main line of communication from Dundee to Forfar and the north of Scotland intended by this Company.

Dundee, Oct. 24, 1845. WILLIAM HAY, Interim Secretary . FLANDERS ANI.) DUTCH MAIL. Batissace. Om 21.—M. Van de Weyer, the Minister of the Interior, has returned to Brussels from his short visit to London. The Governor of the province of Namur has addressed a cir cular to the chief magistrates of the communes, in which he says: —" If the reports which I have received are correct it seems to be generally believed in the country that the Government will be able to procure a supply of potatoes necessary for planting foe the year 1846. Now, this is a thing absolutely impossible; and it is of the utmost importance to warn farmers against such a notion, which might have the effect of inducing them to part with, for consumption, the produce of this year. I therefore request you to induce the inhabitants of your district, by all the means in your power, to preserve with care the potatoes which they have for planting next year." We have a letter from Ostend, of the 28th, which mays, " As I have written to you, the Herne has just entered our port, to take the Overland India mail. It is thought that a courier may arrive here on Tuesday next; in that cue he will have gained three days in his ordinary journey. This service is net definitely settled] it is only by way of trial." The English schooner, Ann Mitchel, arrived at Antwerp on the 21Ith from rerth, in Scotland, with a cargo of potatoes. AN HOTEL OUT OF JOINT.—A gentleman wbc had been stopping at an hotel within a hundred miles of Birkenhead, where, during the ten days of his sojourn, the invariable reply to " Joins, what can I have for dinner ?" was "very nice chops and steaks, sir," at length sent for his landlord, and quietly told him that "his was the stiffest hotel he had ever stopped at." " Indeed, sir I the stiffest, sir—how so,'sir ?" " Why, I have been here for ten days, and can bear witness that there's never a joint in it." The landlord va nished. —Liverpool Courier. DEATH ACCELERATED BY FOUL AlR.—Wednesday Mr. Bedferd held an adjourned inquest at the King's Head, Crown street, Soho, on the body of Daniel H arr i ng t on, aged fifty-f ou r , mason's lab ourer, who inhabited one of the miserable cellars in Fat. conbridge-court, Crown-street. It appeared from the evidence that about a week since the deceased fell down a flight of stairs In a state of intoxication, and was confined to his bed. He never rallied, and died rather suddenly on Sunday morning last, Dr. Henry said, frost disease of the lungs, no doubt consequent upon the mephitic atinos• phere. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medics: testimony. EXTRAORDINARY CAB ACClDENT. — Wednesday, be tween one and two o'clock, James Forbes, six years of age, residing in Great Wild-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, was playing with another boy in high Holborn, fronting the cab-stand. Forbes, to get away from his companion, attempted to run ander the stomach of a cab. horse on the stand, in doing which his foot slipped, and he fell against the legs of the horse. The animal became alarmed, and kicked and plunged violently, and trampled in a dreadful manner on the cheat and stomach of the unfortunate lad. Several cabmen and others ran to his assistance, and dragged him from under the horse. He was Immediately conveyed to Mr. Powell, a surgeon, in High Holborn, who found the breast bone and several ribs fractured. The boy was removed to King's College Hospital, where he lies In a precarious state. BENEVOLENT SOCIETY or BLUES.—Wednesday the half-yearly general meeting of the above society took place at the London Tavern, for the purpose of balloting for pensioners, to re ceive the report of the directors, and for the dispatch of general business. Joseph Beloley, Esq., one of the Vice-Presidents, was unanimously called to the chair. From a list of candidates, consist ing of four males and four females, the eldest of whom was seventy seven, and the youngest sixty-seven years of age, one was selected. The report, which was unanimously approved and adopted, showed that the affairs of the society had considerably improved during the past year, and the general business having been gone through, thanks were awarded to the chairman and other ofticere, and the meeting broke up.

Many of the clergymen of th e E s t a bli s h men t eornPlah l he increase of Mica, of the apathy of their flocks in se gious matters, and of th e grea t diffi cu lt y i n getting il t lower classes to attend the parish churches. They even 1m -, pute blame to the Dissenting cle rg y, an d c harge them %MD° insidious schemes for alienating their flocks from the EpiseT; ma r Church, solely for their own se lfi s h i n t eres t s , and wonder m men who never saw Oxford or Cambridge should buc° llna captivating preachers, and draw larger audiences than tliw" imbued with all the learning of the ancients, and a thorough knowledge of theological controversies. But there is cause for wonder in the matter. The Dissenting clergyman mixes with his people, he knows their feelings and habits, be condescends to teach them in their own way, encouragesi Sun. day.schools and also day-schools, and identifies the interests of his flock with his own. These circumstances, together with the very opposite conduct of a great majority of the fault established clergy, have encouraged secession. Th e lies entirely with the Church. It is gratifying, therefore, to find exceptions to the general rule, to hear of parsons Irh o . are not afraid of imparting knowledge to the labouring I*. pulation—who direct and encourage their humble scientifif pursuits, and make use of their own high position in soda,' for promoting at the same time a religious feeling and sound system of education. We have therefore re a d with great delight an introductory lecture, lately de livereo to the Mechanics' Institution of Ashford, in Kent , by the Rev. JOHN Btu-roil, MA., Rector of Warehorne. It iss perfect model for addresses of this description, whether as regards the eloquence, the good sense, the kindly feeling, and the liberal spirit which pervade it throughout.
