Protheroe, Esq., 10, Old Jewry-ehambers,London This railway is intended to connect the South Wales Railway at Chepstow with Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Birmingham, with the projected Cheltenham, Oxford (and London direct), Gloucester, and Aberystwith, Northampton and Cheltenham, and Manchester and Southampton Railways ; thus forming an uninterrupted line of com munication from the South of Ireland, through Fishgard and Milford in Pembrokeshire, to Gloucester, Cheltenham, Oxford, and London direct, Southampton,, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the North of England, by a less circuitous route than can be effected by any of the projected plans for crossing the Severn below Gloucester, thereby avoiding the difficulties which must necessarily be encoun tered in such an undertaking, and affording the important towns and districts upon the Intended lines that accommodation which their im portance entitles them to. The whole of the traffic upon the South Wales line passing to the Eastward of Chepstow will be carried on this line ; added to which the coal and mineral traffic Ilnm the Forest of Dean (which, from the Eastern side to Gloucester, has been estimated upon authentic documents and information, at upwards of 300,000 tons ; and from the Western or Lydney and Chepstow side the same amount of traffic may safely be calculated upon), amounting to 600,000 tons per an num (the produce of the Forest alone), must be carried upon the line, independent of the local passenger traffic and an extended trade in the produce of the Forest, which will necessarily follow the facilities offered by the proposed railroad. The revenue from this source alone will give a very handsome di vidend upon the capital to be expended, which, is expected will not exceed three-fourths of the intended capital. It is proposed to make branches to the Collieries and Iron Works in the Forest, to the present or any new Ports which may suggest themselves on the Severn ; and to make the River Wye, at Chep, stow, the port of foreign export, where vessels of any size can enter free from the dangers and difficulties attendant upon the navigation of the Severn, consequent upon the rocks and shifting sands in that river. It is intended to build a bridge across the Severn at Gloucester, which will in no way obstruct the navigation; and the proposed Gloucester and Aberystwith Company will no doubt be ready to join this Company in the expense, if they obtain their Act. The cost of the intended line from Chepstow to Gloucester, including the bridge at Gloucester, and the one over the River Wye, at Chepstow, to join the South Wales, with branches to the Collieries, Iron Works, and the Severn, is not expected to exceed 450,0001., but It is intended to provide a capital of 600,0001. to meet any contingencies which may arise. A reference to the map will show the self-evident importance of this line as essential to the perfecting the great project of the South and Oxford, Wales Railway Company (who have obtained their Act of Parlia mnent for a railroad from Fishguard and Milford Haven to Chepstow) Gloucester, it with the principal railways of the kingdom, at and making it the direct road to London, via Cheltenham may with and works light. w i th _ n for effecting which projects are now before the public moat imani.iaa iliatiottential support.

This line will commence at the terminus of the Manchester and Birann,gham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Conseil, thence close to Cheadle, and Tean, and by Uttoxeter, Bagots Woods and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent Valley Railway, near Lichfield, communicating there with ono of the pro posed lines from Dudley and Walsall. A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direst line for the London and Manchester traffic; uniting those two great 'termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing railways. It will also completely accommodate the local traffic and manufactures, and open several extensive coal fickle and some thou. sand acres of wood land fir the supply of Manchester, the Potteries, and other great marts of the kingdom. Together, too, with the pro posed line from Derby to Crewe, it will afford a transit from the Eastern Counties and . Derby to Manchester, and give every aceom- Modatfon to the Potteries: 'This line is, in its principal features, much the same as that already approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned by the Churnet Valley Company—will be scarcely 47 miles in length, and passing. through the centre of the district, does not interfere with the Grand Junction, or any other existing railway. It is material to re mark, that it is even more direct than the Churnet Valley as formerly projected to Tamworth, and is free from the formidable opposition of the landed Interest, and the engineering difficulties consequent on the route by Rocester and Marchington. It must be observed also that it is the only railway which has been brought forward by, and is under the control of, the landowners and manufacturers of the,Churnet and Blythe Valley districts. The co-operation of most of the principal landowners, from near Uttoxeter to near Lichfield, having been obtained, and there being no competing lines projected through that district, this portion of the line may be considered as secure.

BANKERS. The London Joint Stock Bank, London •The Liverpool Borough Bank, Liver Pool SECRETARY (pro tem.)—Mr. George Upton. It is proposed, in the first instance, to make a railway from Callao, the chief port, to Lima, the capital of Peru, the great marts of trade, and general resort of the whole Peruvian nation ; and afterwards to lay down such lbws on the coast of the Pacific as may be approved of by the Shareholders at a general meeting. The distance from Callao to Lima is about seven English miles. There is open ground all the way suited to receive the rails, the gra dient uniform, and no curves, with an abundant supply of water power, so that there will be an entire saving of fuel. It is estimated that the cost of this line will not exceed 50,000!. ; and, when It is considered that it will command the whole traffic of passengers, aid the conveyance of goods between the chief port and the capital of Peru, it may rainy be assumed that the undertaking will be ome of unusual profit. Should the operations of the Company be confined to the line be tween Callao and... Lima, no further portion of the capital will be called for than may bd sufficient to constrhct that line.

Your commission cannot close their report without expressing, in the strongest terms, their conviction, that immediate measures for detailed inquiry and local exa• mination into the state and condition of every port and navigable river 'of the United Kingdom, are indispensa bly necessary, with a view to that thorough superin tendence, without which many of the evils already re cited are liable to recur. And when they consider the great want of accessible harboers along the whole of the coasts of your Majesty's dominions—more especially when the extended use of steam navigation points to such great changes in mari time affairs, whereby every sheltered creek is likely to become of value—and when they consider that, by the improvement of our tidal harbours, your Majesty's beneficent intentions for the preservation of the 'lives and property of a large class of your Majesty's subjects may be best fulfilled, they earnestly trust that no minor consideration may be allowed to impede the accomplish ment of objects of such national importance.

The " Times " has eulogised its correctness and peculiar mode of printing ; see page 57. The "John Ruh " published its usual check. Dec. '22, 1644, giving it, indeed, 336 correct daily predictions , see copy, pages 52 and 64. Also, " The Sun," the " Globe," the " Era," the " Post," " Herald," " Chronicle," " Satirist," " Punch," and many others, have noticed the correctness of this unique work. Amongst the great variety of matter is an interesting biography of hie Royal Highness Prince Albert while at the College of Bonn ; also useful Chronology, Royal Family, both Houses of Parliament, Stun mary of Population of the British Empire, Population of the chief towns and cities ; a Calendar, containing Sundays, festivals, anni versaries, phenomenons, chronological events, moors age, eclipses, tides, gardeners' monthly calendar, a column for the weather of every day ; pages 3to 25.

It is the only fashionable snuff of the day sold under the authority of the Lords of the Treasury and Royal Family.

Sir,---For the last three or four years lhave been labouring under a nervous dearness, so much so at times as to be almost incapable Cl hearing. After trying several very eminent aurists, from whom I de rived scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend, to try your excellent Eye Snuff. I accordingly procured one of your 4s. 4d. canisters, after taking which I found considerable benefit, so much so that I sent for two more, which, having used, I found my hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf since. I should mention that the time I commenced taking your Eye Snuff was in April last, and have continued taking it aincs.—l am, Sir, your obe dient servant, W. 11. ADAMS. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—About one o'clock on Thursday last Mr. Dawson, town-traveller to Mr. Calvert, an extensive dealer in bandannas, of Ludgate-hill, was robbed of five parcels, containing a variety of silk goods, to the value of upwards of 701., in the following manner :—Whilst going to dine at a tavern in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel, Dawson left a young man named Edward Wood, who usually took charge of his parcels, in care of his property at a neigh bouring public-house. He was surprised , on returning in about an hour, to find that Wood was not there. He however had no apprehension that the lad had absconded, and awaited his return for a considerable time. At length Mr. Dawson began to feel alarm for the safety of the property, and hastened to his employer's, where, after relating q the circumstanc e , h e proceeded to the residence of the boy 's pare nts , at Camden gardens, Bethnal - gre en, who had heard nothing of him during the day. Mr. Dawson th e n proceeded to Denmark-street wation-house, St. George's-in-the-East, and lodged informa tion against the lad. 13ocking,ham Palace, durin g th e a b sence o f t h e Court from town, is to undergo various embellishments and a l t „ at i ons . The grand hall is to be decorated somewhat in the style of the Royal Pavilion, Buckingham Gardens ; and in the north wing alterations are to be forthwith made. BARTHOLOMEW AND BARNET FAIRS.—On Friday the Lord Mayor ordered the issue of printed proclamations in the usual form for the establishment and regulation of Barth° • lomew Fair, including that for the prohibition of gambling, the appointment of the Court of Pie Pavire, the arrangement of the stalls, &c. The latter, it is understood, will be even less numerous than those of last year, so that it is anticipated that this ancient fair, by so many deemed a nuisance, will ere long die a natural death.'"l3arnet fair, on the contrary, will this year be extended, and will also have a larger supply of horses and cattle than on any preceding year, To Mr. W. Grimstone Any quantity of Eye snuff can he forwarded through the General Post, by sending money orders. A 2s. 4d. canister, with directions. will cost 35.. and so on in like proportion RAILWAY BILLS.—RAILWAYS.—On Friday a re turn, obtained by Mr. Gibson Craig, was printed of all Bills of the late sessions for railways, with the amount of the estimates of the capital stock, and of the sum allowed to be borrowed for each railway, and the total amount of the estimates, capital stock, and styes authorised to be borrowed for all such railways. It appears that the estimated expense of 52 railways set forth in the return is 43,339,325/. The capital stock is stated at 44.741,2001., and the money authorised to be borrowed 14,872,326/. Mr. Moffatt, tha new Member for Dartmouth, has also obtained a return (which was yesterday issued) of the number of Acts which have passed in the session; the length of each line ; the number of shares, and the amount of capital subscribed for each ; the number of new shares that each line is empowered to create ; and the sum of money each line is empowered to borrow. The length of the lines are 2,746 m. 6f. and 4c. The number of shares subscribed for is 723,819 ; the amount of capital subscribed 31,89),4741. ; the number of shares empowered to be crated, 927,697 ; and the money empowered to be borrowed 13,678,038 1 . A mustachioed Yagabon,i, name , ' Arthur Cowling, was ientencod by Mr. Painter, the Hammersmith magistrate, to two months' hard labour, for assaulting a little girl, and en deavouring to intimidate her into giving him money. , .... . -.6, - - , s _ -------,--# - HAMBURGH and FLANDERS MA!L. ~ LEIPSIC, AUG. 22.-The Dresden Commissioners, ' who are not all assembled; will immediately co their investig,atior7; Sevc:rgferSoni whiindade speeches iti the . meetings that have• talteiv,plice have he..n rtpri manded and cautioned.

The Assembly was opened at nine o'clock on Friday morning in the chapel of . the poor house by an impressive speech of Dr. Theiner. Protessur flegenbrecht then read the names of the Deputies, from which it appeared that Deputies had been sent by above forty Silesian communities. - The Synod procced,d to choose a president, and its ,choice fell on Professor Reg( nbrucht. The confrssicrn of faith was then dis cussed ; some additional and explanatory observations were addetl to that of the council of Le'p6ic, as proposals for a fiitUre general council. After this, the Liturgy hitherto used in- Breslau, with many iciprovt-meats pro posed by Dr. Theincr,chicfly tending more internally to cement the several parts, was read and adopt, d.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY. CHYLTENUAM, Ana. 29.—This morning a commission de lunatho inquirevdo, directed to Commissioners Winslow and Barlow, was opened at the Plough Hotel, Cheltenham, to inquire into the state of mind of Lieut.-Colonel Wi'.liarn Lewis Herford, of the 23d regiment of Foot Guards. The commis sion was issued at the suit of the colonel's brother, John Her ford, Esq., on behalf of the patient's own son, his next of kin. The jury was comprised of sixteen highly respectable gentle men of the town, and the proceedings, from the Colonel being an old resident of Cheltenham, created considerable interest, _ The commission having been opened, Mr. Charles Fowler, medical attendant in the family, de posed that in the August of last year be was called in to treat the Colonel under an attack of apoplexy. He found him labouring under general paralysis, and his mind was so much affected that he could not return rational and eq. herent answers to the most ordinary questions put to hi m . He afterwards rallied in some measure, but had since beau visited by two or three similar attacks, the effect of !hick was that his mind had become deteriorated, and witn ess had not the least daubt, speaking as a medical man, that the Colonel was now, and had been ever since August, 4'44, of unsound mind, and perfectly incapable of managing his own affairs. He did not recollect witness's person from one visit to another, and on one occasion, being asked what sort of a night he had spent, he replied that the barometer had been tiling and falling all night. Dr. Allardyce deposed that he had paid two visits to the Colonel, to ascertain his state of mind The first of thee* visits was on the 16th of April, when he saw him, b y or d er of the Secretary at War, to inquire whether he was its a it state of mind to make the necessary affidavits for receiving his pay and allowances. Found him in decidedly an unsound state of mind, and unable to return a rational answer to the simplest question. Told him the objeet of the visit, but he appeared perfectly unconscious, and could neither tell the day of the week, the day of the month, or the name of the medical gen tleman who had been attending him. Witness asked him the name of his regiment, but after looking at him a moment, witk vacuity of countenance, he was unable to tell the name of the corps, neither could he tell the amount of his pay. Visited him again on the 9th of June, and found him in the same state ; and it is witness's opinion, without a shadow of a shade of a doubt, that the Colonel is perfectly incompetent to manage his own affairs from un soundness of mind. Witness has had great experience witk insane patients, and should consider the cause of the disease to be mechanical compression on the brain, caused by the apo plectic attack spoken of by Mr. Fowler. It was very unlikely he would ever regain his mental faculties. Sarah Coates, who had nursed the Colonel ever sinee Jo, nuary last, said, that during the whole of that period he had never asked any questions or taken any interest in w'nat was going on around him ; he had never even asked for his Owl son. The Colonel was here introduced to the court, and in answer to questions put to him by the Comm4sioner he gave very in coherent and rambling replies. He could r.ot tell where We property was situate. Knew he had estaves in Italy, but did not know what they were worth. Kra , ,,, he had a son, and that he was now in England, but cor:id not tell his age ; and when asked where he had come. irotn this morning, said, " Oh. somewhere near the mountain." The jury expressed themselres quite satisfied, and immedi— ately returned a verdict that (- Jolonel William Lewis lierford i s of unsound mind, and incr.pable of ma.v.ging his own affair*, and that he has been so since August last.
