Parker and Preston, 21, Great George-stroet, Westminster Many of the principal merchants and traders in London and Man chester, engaged in the trade of those towns, being of opinion— That it Is of paramount importance to the trade, and to the public, that they should not continue dependent for communication between London and Lancashire upon one, and that a circuitous line of rail way, already inadequate to the purposes of the existing traffic. That the immediate formation of a direct line is essential because, if delayed, it will become more and more difficult, in consequence of the branch railways which local necessity will originate. That an independent trunk line is necessary to guard the trade and commerce of the metropolis and Lancashire against excessive charges, and the many evils of a rapidly-extending monopoly ; they have, therefore, established this Company to foxua Marla a Line. The objects of the Company are— To form the shortest practicable line. To traverse it in the shortest possible time, consistently with safety, by the best motive power, at the cheapest fares, and at the least possible charge for goods. Experience has shown, as to railways, that the interest of the pub lic and the interests of the proprietors are identical. That the lowest fares and charges, and the quickest journeys, are advantageous to both. That system which has quintupled the number of letters by the post, the result of celerity and cheapness, must prove equally effica cious in the transit of persons and goods. ,The promoters of the present undertaking are, for the most part, largely Interested in the trade between London and Manchester. They deem another line essential to the increasing wants of the great manufacturing and comraerclal interests throughout the whole distance. Their own operations will contribute greatly to the traffic of the intended line, and they are, therefore, deeply interested in its esta blishment. The London promoters of this line, in their ordinary commercial operations, now pay for the carriage of goods, &c., a sum equal to four per cent. upon the whole capital ; an amount of traffic which will pass upon the direct line when completed. They are convinced that the time has arrived when direct lines to principal towns have become absolutely necessary, and will yield the greatest benefit to those interested in them, and to the country at large. This line will afford accommodation to many considerable towns, as yet untouched by any existing line. It is intended to commence in London as near the centre of busi ness as possible. In its course, the line will approach to and accommodate the fol lowing towns—viz., Barnet, St. Albans, Dunstable, Luton, Ampthiil, Bedford, Wellingborough, Kettering, Market Itarborough, Leicester, Loughborough, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Burton-on-Trent, lUttoxeter, Cheadle, Leek, Macclesfleld,Stockport, and Manchester, terminating in the station of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway. The present nearest approach to Manchester is by the London and Birmingham and the Manchester and Birmingham Railways, a dis tance of 197 k miles. By the proposed line the distance will be con siderably shortened, and will form the nearest route to Carlisle, and all places north of Manchester. There will be no change of trains, or removal of luggage from one train to another; ire delay in waiting for trains from other parts of the country, but the same train will proceed without loss of time throughout the whole distance. The atmospheric principle will be publicly tested before the next session of Parliament, and the Committee will be prepared to adopt it, if in practice it shall vindicate its claims to superiority. Applications fo: Shares may be made, addressed to the Provisional Committee, or to the Solicitors, at the Company's Offices, 48, Moor gate-street, London, of whom further particulars may be obtained. July, 1845. Direct London and Manchester Railway. Office, 48, Moorgate-street. The promoters of what is called " Remington's Line," having, after the registration of the above-mentioned Company, registered their project by the same title, varied only by the Introduction of the word " Independent," and continuing to advertise Messrs. Jones, Loyd and Co. as their bankers, the Managing Committee, in order to prevent the contusion and inconvenience which must otherwise take place, think It right to call public attention to the distinction between the titles and addresses of the two undertakings, and to the fact that Messrs. Jones, Loyd and Co. are the bankers to this Company, as will appear by the following letter. Aug. 4, 1845. EDWARD L. OGLE, Secretary. (Copy.) Lothbury, July 30, 1845. Sir—We beg through you to acknowledge the communication we have this day received, notifying to us, that at a meeting of the Com mittee of Management for forming the Direct London and Manches ter Railway, it had been resolved that an account be opened with us on behalf of the Company. It affords us sincere satisfaction to corn mence this connexion with a concern which we believe to be calcu lated to promote the interests of the town of Manchester, and which is brought forward under the sanction of so numerous and respect able a body of persons connected with the trade of that groat district. We shall cause the account to be opened forthwith, in accordance with the instructions handed to us, and we shall at all times be most ready to promote the success of the undertaking. We are, Sir, your very obedient servants, Edward L. Ogle, Esq. JONES, LOYD and CO. PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT. RAIL WAY FROM MACCLESFIELD, passing close to the Towns of Leek, Cheadle, and Uttoxeter, to the Trent Valley Railway north of Lichfield. PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED, The Line will commence at the Terminus of the Manchester and Birmingham 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 north of Lichfield, communicating near there with one of the proposed lines from Dudley er Wolverhampton. A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct line for the London and Manchester traffic, uniting these two great termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing railways, will completely accommodate the local traffic, and throw open several extensive Coal fields and some thousand acres of Wood land to Manchester, the Potteries, and other great marts of the kingdom. This Line is also in some of its principal features the same as that already approied of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned by the Churnet Valley Company—will not comprise more than fifty miles of Railway, and passing through the centre of the unoccupied part of the district, does not interfere with the Grand Junction or any other existing • Railway. This and the proposed Line from Crewe to Derby will also well accommodate the Potteries, giving to that important locality a direct route to London, Birmingham, and the South, to - Liverpool and the North, and to Derby and the East, and will also afford a transit for the Eastern counties traffic from Derby to Manchester. The co-operation of almost all the principal landowners from near Uttoxetor to near Lichfield having been ob tained, this portion of the line may be considered as secure. A most influential Provisional Committee, consisting of land owners and manufacturers, and others locally interested, will shortly be published. In the meantime references may be made to Matthew Gaunt, Esq., Highfield House, Leek ; or to Thomas Turnor, Esq., Abbots Bromley, near Uttoxeter.

Since the formation of the Company for making this railway, and the allotment of the Shares for that part of the line between Chelms ford and Bury, the practicability, paramount importance, and supe rior advantages of its plan have been so unequivocally recognised by the Board of Trade, and by the Committee of the House of Commons for the railways of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, that the Provisional Committee have determined to now, at once, adopt the extension of their line, originally projected, from Bury to join the Norwich and Brandon line at Thetford ; thereby to complete the shortest and best communication between London and Norwich, in the direction of the old road, through all the chief central towns of Essex and Suffolk, and at the same time to open a very direct communication with the great trunk lines of the north and west. For these important objects, to be secured by an extension of only 12 miles, to connect Bury St. Edmunds and Thetford, the Provisional Committee propose to increase the capital 250,0001., by the issue of 10,000 additional shares ; and, for full particulars of the entire plan, refer to their original prospectus. The Chelmsford and Bury line not having been projected in time to bring it before Perliament in the present session in a substantive form, it has been but imperfectly, and merely incidentally, in opposing other lines, that its merits could be at all brought under the notice of the Board of Trade or of the Committee of the House ; but the strong impression made, notwithstanding, is its favour, is obviously appa rent, both in the reports of the one and in the decisions of the other. The Board of Trade, in stating the considerations upon which it ad vised the rejection of the Norwich Direct line, reported (March 4th, 1845) that " It is necessary to advert to a railway called theChelms ford and Bury Railway, projected, but not brought before Parliament, the plan, and section, and traffic tables of which have been submitted to the Board of Trade. This railway appears to us to accommodate a more populous district than that intended to be traversed by the London and Norwich Direct hallway. Its section shows that it may be done at a moderate cost;" (while) "there is a strong local feeling in its favc ur, evinced by the memorials which have been re ceived by the Board of Trade from the inhabitants of Braintree, Halstead, Sudbury, and other places between Chelmsford and Bury." The Committer of the House of Commons have since not only rejected the NETIVich Direct and Bury and Cambridge lines, but the Chairman (Lord Sandon) previous to giving a decision against the Norwich Direct, took occasion to observe that "the Committee was decidedly in favour of the Chelmsfbrd and Bury scheme." To these public testimonials in favour of the Chelmsford and Bury line, the Provisional Committee have the satisfaction of adding, that by a special arrangement with the solicitor of the Eastern Counties Railway, they are assured of the concurrence and good offices of that important Company in the formation of their line. In allotting their original Shares, the Provisional Committee ne cessarily rejected numerous applications, of which it may be pre sumed that a considerable number were from parties as highly re spectable as any of those to whom Shares could then be given ; and in the distribution of the additional Shares a reasonable preference will be given to original applicants, as well as to original Share holders.

The difficulty in obtaining a good Central London terminus has hitherto been an insuperable obstacle to a railway communication between London and the populous and important localities which this line will serve. This obstacle has now been removed by the exten sion of the South Western Railway from Nine-elms to the foot of Hungerford Market Bridge, for which an Act of Parliament has been obtained this session ; and by the proposed railway bridge across the Thames, on the east side of the Hungerford Market Suspension Bridge, for which a Company has been formed to obtain an Act in the ensuing session. Arrangements have been made with the South Western Railway Company, securing the terminus at Hungerford Market. The London, Hounslow, and Western Railway is intended to com mence at Hungerford Market Railway Bridge in the Strand, and run along the South Western line to a point near Battersea Church, thence crossing the Thames, and running through Fulham, Hammer smith, Chiswick, Turnham Green, Brentford, Isleworth, Hounslow, and the intermediate towns and villages to Staines, with a branch from Hounslow to the Great Western Railway, at or near West Drayton. The South Western Company contemplate applying to Parliament in the ensuing Session for an Act to enabls them to extend their line from Hungerford Mar7et Bridge to London Bridge, which will afford to this Company a terminus at London Bridge as well as at Hunger ford Market. The population and the mercantile traffic with London and the West of England, of the various localities through which this Rail way will pass, far exceed that of any other district in the vicinity of the metropolis, and no available railway communication from those localities, either to London or to the western or south-western parts of England, at present exists. The line has been surveyed, and presents no engineering difficul ties ; the greater portion of the cluntry through which the railway will pass is nearly level ; very little ornamental and house property will be interfered with, and, as a consequence, the expense of con struction and of the acquisition of the ground for the line will be comparatively small. The average weekly passenger traffic of Hounslow, Isleworth, Brentford, Kew-bridge, Turnham-green, Hammersmith, and Fulham bridge, taken from tile Stamp-office returns, allowing eight pas sengers to each omnibus and coach, gives the following results : Passengers X s. d Hounslow Omnibusses, per year, at Is. Isleworth each passenger • • • • Brentford Coaches per year, at Is each 3 passenger Kew-bridge omnibusses • • '•urnham-green Hammersmith Fulham-bridge • • At 9d. each passenger • • 395,032 19,801 12 0 378,560 18,928 0 0 .. 261,560 70,056 274,768 .. 514,656 1,121,040 42,039 0 0 £80,768 12 0 The increased traffic on a railway has always proved to be more than double the pre-existing traffic, but taken at double will give for the passengert raffic of the above places alone, per annum ••• • • • ••• • • • £161,537 4 0 The foregoing statement does not include the passenger traffic cf. Staines, Englefleld-Green, Egham, Bedfont, and the numerous ad jacent villages. The present traffic by carriages, gigs, and horses may be estimated at one-half of the above amount. It has been ascertained by actual observation, that 3,264 carriages and gigs pass to and through Brent ford within a week. Many of the numerous passengers by the steam-boats now plying on the Thames between London and the intermediate places to Brentford and Islewortb, will necessarily avail themselves of the su perior advantages of railway transit. Exclusive of the passenger 'traffic through Brentford, there are on an average 1,850 waggons and carts to Brentford every week. The extensive merchandise traffic on the River Thames between London-and Staines, and the intermediate towns, is subject to great interruption upwards from Brentford, by droughts in summer, and by floods and frosts in winter ; the circuitous course of the river and the great horse-power required to draw the barges against the strong current, render the traffic by the river slow and very expensive. Every description of merchandise can be carried by this railway at a much less rate, and quicker than by the present water carriage. Since the opening of the Great Western Railway a large portion of the former passenger and merchandise traffic has been transferred to that railway from the old Great Western coach-road, which is parallel with this line, a great part of which will necessarily be restored to the London, Hounslow, and Western Railway.

It is proposed, in the first instance, to make a railway from Callao, the chief.port, to Lima, the capital of Peru, the great mart of trade, and general resort of the whole Peruvian nation ; and afterwards to lay such lines 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. 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, and the conveyance of goods between the chief port and the capital of Peru, it may fairly be assumed that the un dertaking will be one 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 be sufficient to construct that line ; and if the objects Of the Company be not carried out, the whole of the deposit-money will be returned.

The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham Railway, near Harrow, and passin.: to the north of Uxbridge, will proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham to 3iissenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury ; from which place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and approaching Brackley, will terminate by a Junction with the proposed Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury. In addition to the line above described, It is Intended also to con struct a Railway from the central station of the London and Bir mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through Bicester to Oxford; and in connexion with the line here proposed, the Bedford, and London and Birmingham Company, intend to make a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton. The proposed Buckingham and London and Birmingham Railway Company (for the construction of a linefrom Wolverton to Bicester) is amalgamated with this Company. Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difficulty of importance presents itself. The undertaking has already received the sanction and support of a ver y large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of roperty It is intended land through or near whose . P to pass. It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation, and under the direction and superintendence of the London and Birmingham Railway Company; under a lease, in perpetuity, at four per cent. per annum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange ment as to the surplus profits. It is intended to offer the shares in such proportion as the amount of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London, Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway C ompany, su bj ect to t h e approbation of the Committee of Management, with the exception of such as may be required for parties having local interests.

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING PRICE sd„ SUPPOSED MURDER. READING, SATURDAY.—Throughout to-day this town has been in a state of great excitement, in consequence of a report gaining ground that on the previous evening a woman, named Elizabeth Spier, residing at No. 16, Howard-street, had been found in a lifeless state in the cellar of the house, under circumstances which led to the conclusion that she bad come to an untimely end by the hands of her husband, William Spicer, a journey man basket-maker, and who has been taken into custody on the charge of having caused the death of his wife. Considerable sensation prevails throughout the town ; the more so as happily so dreadful a crime has not been perpetrated in this borough within the remembrance of the oldest inhabitant. The inquest was held this evening at the public offiee, before Mr. G. Morton, Deputy Coroner for the borough, and a respectable jury, when the following witnesses were examined : Martha Aubry deposed—l am on a visit to my sister, Mrd. Tomkins, of No. 15, I:Toward-street, next door to Mr. Spicer's. I knew the deceased 11v her coming in and out or my luster's house ; saw ner auout eleven o'clock yesterday, when she was in her usual good health. She came to borrow a clothes-prop of my sister. We dined between twelve and one o'clock. Whilst at dinner we heard a noise in the adjoining house, occu pied by Mr. and Mrs. Spicer, like something heavy felling down stairs. My sister said, "Oh ! what can that be ?—surely that is never Mrs. Spicer falls n down ?" I said, " Stop, don't you go, I'll run," and instantly ran out of the door into the front garden, and looked through Mr. Spicer's window. I there saw Mr. Spider looking down the cellar stairs, and I concluded that nothing serious had happened. I distinctly saw Mr. Spicer standing looking down the stairs. I went back into my sister's house and said, " Oh, there is nothing the mat ter, Mr. Spicer is at home." At the time I saw Mrs. Spicer in the morning she appeared perfectly sober. I heard nothing disagreeable pass between them before I heard the noise. Henry Tomkins—l live at No. 15. Howard-street, and am by trade a shoemaker. I live next door to Mr. Spicer. I have known Mrs. Spicer for about two years. Last November they were married. I saw Mrs. Spicer about eleven o'clock yesterday. She came into my house to borrow a clothes-prop. About half-past twelve we were at dinner, when we heard a tremendous crash in the next house, occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Spicer. We were all alarmed, having heard that Mrs. spicer had a fit some time before. We said, " There is poor Mrs. Spicer fallen down stairs." I did not see Mrs. Spicer any time between hearing that noise and eight o'clock in the evening. About eight o'clock in the evening Mr. Spicer came out of his front door, and I went out. He said, " Mr. Tomkins, have you seen anything of my wife?" I said, " No; is she not at home?" He said, " I came home to my tea and did not find her. I cannot make out where she is got to." I said, " Oh dear, it is not she that has fallen down the cellar." He said, " Oh dear, I do not know," and went immediately towards the cellar-door. I was in my own garden at the time. In about a minute he came out again and said, " Oh dear me, my wife is dead." It was near eight o'clock, and he bad no candle. Spicer then immediately got a light, and Mr. House, who had been in my house, went in to Spicer's, and took the candle, and both of us went down the cellar. Whilst we were in the cellar, Mr. Spicer was sitting down in a chair in his front room. We found the body of Mrs. Spicer at the bottom of the stairs, and her face against the wall. She was lying on her right side, with a great wound in her temple. The head was dreadfully cut and bruised, and there was a great deal of blood on her head. Her cap was off her head, and her clothes smooth upon her body. Her legs were in an upward position, resting on the steps. I imme diately went to inform Mr. Houlton, the superintendent of police of this borough. By the DEPUTY-CORONER—When I saw her in the morning she was perfectly sober. She was not a person addicted to drinking. They were not in the habit of quarrelling, but about three weeks ago we heard them quarrel for about an hour up-stairs. She has frequently complained to me of her husband coming home intoxi.. cat- el, and late at night. Mr. House and myself went into the cellar. Mr. Spicer was sitting in the front room, and he made no observation. The noise I heard was a crash, as if something heavy had fallen. The blood I saw was black and congealed. George House, of No. 30, Upper Hosier-street, la bourer—l knew Mr. and Mrs. Spicer before they were married, about eight months ago. I was at Mr. Tom kins's house about half-past seven o'clock last night until about eight o'clock. I was standing at Mr. Tom kins's gate, about to leave, when Mr. Spicer came to his door, and asked Mr. Tomkins if his (Mr. Spicer's) wife was at Mr Tomkins's house. Mr. Tomkins replied, no ; and asked Mr. Spicer if she wasn't up-stairs. He said no, he had been up stairs. Mr. Tomkins then asked g him if she was down in the cellar ? He said, Ido not know, ebnutt to I the will ledo go eel an r ls o ce r d,"aonwdn a then l i ghted gh o t r ed t a wo. candle, lfe and etheemne to returned door daad apnladcesdaitdhetecamned,le„oon ht,heehetabiele,do%nnd there."

Mr. Tomkins went for Mr. Houlton, the superintendent of police, and I gave an alarm to the neighbours. By the DEPUTY CORONER—I asked Mr. Spicer if he had any tea when he came home at tea time, and he said he had no tea, but a piece of meat and a piece of bread on a plate remaining from dinner time. He then, he said, went to Mr. Sharp's, at the Royal Oak, and had a pint of beer, and inquired if his wife had been there, and they said she had not. He then called again on coming home in the evening, and found she had not been there then. About nine or ten o'clock in the evening Spicer said, that whilst he was out in the yard after dinner he heard a noise like some one falling down stairs. Witness continued—When I saw the body the legs were visible half-way up, to about the calf. Both the legs remained as much uncovered.
