Capital, 200,0001., in 8,000 S bares of 201. each. Deposit 2/. 10s. pc r Share. (Provisionally Rai Astered.) This line will commence at the stath as of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway at Dudie y, and run into the line of the grand Junction Company near to Birn' !Ingham. It will traverse or pass in the immediate vicinity of the fe thawing populous manufactur ing towns and places, viz. ; Great Bridge !, Swan Village, Oldbury, West Bromwich, Handsworth, and Smethi rick, and in its course it will afford railway accommodation to ama nufacturing and mining popu lation of upwards of a quarter of a milli on. The navies of the places of the propo: ted termini, and the above in dication of the course of the intended line, must abundantly satisfy every one that it presents the certainty rof a lucrative traffic both in goods and in passengers. It is almost t unnecessary to speak further of so plain a necessity as that of railiv ay accommodation for such a district. The wonder would be that the pro posed line had not been esta blished long before, were it not for on a very obvious and very po tential reason to which it is owing that this rich district has hitherto been suffered to remain destitute of rs ;ilway accommodation. The district has been up to this time deprive d of the benefits of railway means of transit became it was one the richest farms of the Birmingham Canal Company ; and it is to overcome the depressing influence of such a destitution that the present plan has been pro jected. The intended line will not interfere WI any existing line of rail way ; but it will materially extend the s usefulness of the several lines about to be connected with Dudley, a nd in particular that great mining district trunk line, the Oxfor, i, Worcester, and Wolver hampton Railway, as also the Shrewsbu cry and South Staffordshire Jnnction ; besides it will afford to th, t populous districts around Dudley and Birmingham the direct bone hts of fair and liberal com petition in passenger conveyance and in "the transit of their indus trial products to their principal market. The number of omnibuses - , coaches, a Sal swift canal packet-boats continually travelling between the term hi!, afford the strongest as surance of the prospect of a large passe, iger traffic . • while the bulky nature and vast extent of the mining Sind manufacturing produce of this well-known district equally you Ali for that in goods ; and the whole leaves no doubt but that the financial returns of such an undertaking must yield an ample remu seration for the capital ex• pended. In an engineering point of view, it has i been ascertained by careful surveys that the line is highly favour ale, and presents not the slightest difficulty, so that* altogether th ere is probably no line of railway now before the public so much entitled in every way to the favourable consideration of the parti as. locally interested, or of capitalists in general. The former have already evinced the warmest interest in the proposed line; and ind ned it is mainly owing to urgent local suggestions, that the projac .led railway has been under taken. No further call (beyond the deposit) • Will be made until the Act shall be obtained ; and power will be a p plied for in such Act to allow interest at four per cent. per ani a im on the deposits and calls from the date of each payment until .1 die opening of the line. An influential Provisional Committee 1 r ill be published in a few days. Applications for shares will be re ci dyed until the 14th inst., and may be addressed to Mr. F. T.

Somerrou—George Smith, Esq., 24, Golden-square. This line of railway has met with general approbation, and its im portance cannot be questioned, traversing, as it will, a locality totally excluded from the benefit of railway communication, though, it may be said, one continuous town, for a distance of ten miles, and a densely-populated neighbourhood, the property 4round which is open, flat, and of a highly favourable character for the construction of a line of railway. In addition to the advantage of a direct communication between the two royal residences at London and Windsor, avoiding the de lay, and inconvenience of three different conveyances, and reducing the time requisite ?or the entire journey To thirty minutes, the pro posed line will afford to Barnes, Kew, Isleworth, Bagshot, Ascot, Sunning-hill, and Egham, all abounding with elegant villas and a wealthy population, an easy access to London, and form the main trunk for a direct communication to Exeter, Falmouth, and the whole of the south-west of England. It will also afford a facility to reach Hungerford-bridge on the south side of the River by the Richmond Railway, by means of a branch from Hounslow to Rich mond. The Committee have much pleasure in adding that the surveys are made, the deposits have been duly paid, and the parliamentary con tract is signed and completed. Office, 30, Regent•street.

HARWICH DOCKS, AND BIRMINGHAM AND CENTRAL ENGLAND RAILWAY.—Among the many projects competing for public favour and support, this grea t p r oject appears to have a claim to our particular notice. It has for its object to connect the port of Harwich, by the shortest and most direct routes, with all parts of England, which on reference to the map, it will be see n , it comp l ete ly ac complishes. By its con nexion with the Eastern Counties' Railway, the shortest route to London is afforded;—by its junction with the London and-Birmingham Railway at Blisworth, the most direct ac cess to all the manufacturinc , districts of Staffordshire is opened up; by its connexion at that point with the North ampton, Banbury, and Cheltenham line, the most direct communication with the port of Bristol and West of England; ' and by the South Midland and Midland Counties Railways, direct communication is opened up between the port of Harwich and all the northern and manufacturing towns of England. The port of Harwich, it is, perhaps, not generally known, has, since the termination of the war, been altogether neglected, and its beautiful and capacious harbour, described by the Government Commissioners as " the finest and only rate harbour on the east coast of England, and, as a packet station for all North ern and Central Europe, its preservation of national import ance," allowed to fall into decay—a liberal Parliamentary grant had been made for its improvement and preservation, and the above Company had been formed to carry out more extensively the objects of Government by the construction of docks, so as to adapt the port of Harwich for the gre a t commercial and passenger traffic which, on the completion of the railway, must inevitably flow thither. Harwich is destined to become the grand outlet to all parts of Northern and Central Europe ; and, from the circum- stance of its being the shortest and most direct route from England, by way of Antwerp and , Ostend (by means of existing foreign railways) to Trieste, it is evident also that Harwich must also sooner or later become the most direct route for all our communications with Greece, Egypt, and India (overland), this route being, as a glance at the map will show, by far shorter and more direct th an the pre sent overland route to India by way of Paris and M arse i lles. We are glad, therefore, that Harwich is destined to see brighter days, and that this hitherto neglected and decayed port is likely, from a fortunate combination of circumstances, to become one of great national and commercial importance; and looking at the names of the parties connected with this great undertaking—to the identification of the work with the objects and intentions of the Government, and the favour able light in which it is viewed by the all-powerful London and Birmingham Railway, we cannot estimate too highly the success of the project , whether we lo o k upon it as an important national work, or as an excellent commercial speculation. For these reasons, therefore, we consider the project deserving of every support, both in and out of Par liament, and we have no doubt it will obtain it, because it deserves it. —lron Times. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.--OXFORD, OCTOBER 7.—Although no public announcement has been given of the election of Vice-Chancellor, we have it from good au thority that a convocation will be holden for that purpose to-morrow, at twelve o'clock, when letters of nomination from the Chancellor will be read by the senior proctor, and if the same are not submitted in the usual manner for the approbation of the house, a scrutiny, it is expected, will be demanded. At present there are but few members of con vocation here. The Latin sermon at St. Mary's, on Thurs day, the 9th instant, will be preached by th e R ev.

The number of applicants already amount to 260, of which, we believe, 45 are captains of the first hundred on the list, on the half-pay of 14s. 6d. per diem ; 85 are captains of the next 150 on the list, on the half-pay of 12s. 6d. per diem • and 130 are on the half-pay of 10s. 6d. per diem. Of this 260, five are hold ing good service pensions, 10 have out- pensions from Green wich, and about 20 are companions of the Bath.—Herald. It was reported in Liverpool, yesterday morning, that the Great Western steamer had been on fire. Our correspondent, on making inquiries, states, that the acci dent arose from some sweepings of one of the flues of the vessel having been left very carelessly on board on Monday night, which ignited, but was instantly put out, without the least damage being done to the vessel, or to anything on board.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. DEVIZES, TUESDAY NIGHT, NINE, r.sr.—A public meeting of the corporation and inhahitants of Devizes took place this day, convened by the mayor (pursuant to a numerously signed requisition) for the purpose of giving consideration to the subject of railway communication. Mr. Henry Butcher, the mayor of Devizes, took the chair at one o'clock, at which hour the hall was densely crowded by the most respectable inhabitants. Amongst the gentle. men present we observed L. Bruges, Esq., M.P. for the borough; Sir George Prescott, Bart. ; Admiral Sir Deans Dundas, M.P. ; the Rev. Sir Erasmu s Williams, &c. The following lines, nine in number, were represented at the meeting:- 1. The London, Newbury, and Bath Direct Railway, pro moted by the Kennet and Avon Canal Company, represented by a deputation headed by Admiral J. W. Deans Dundas, as the chairman. 2. London, Devizes, and Bridgwater Direct Western Railway. 3. Bath, Wells, and Exeter Junction. 4. London, Bristol, and South Wales Direct Railway. 5. South and Midlands Junction, and West Midland Direct Railway. 6. Southern Counties Union, Bristol, Bath, and Dover Railway. 7. Direct Western Railway. 8. Dover and 13riitol Railway; and 9. Rugby, Swindon, and Weymouth Railway. Admiral Dundas first addressed the meeting on behalf of the London, Newbury, and Bath ; Mr. C. Bernard, on behalf of the London, Devizes, and Bridgwater ; Mr. Moreton on behalf of the Bath and Wells; Rev. E. Williams, on behalf of the London, Bristol, and South Wales; Mr. Edwin James for the South and Midlands, and others. Dr. Brabant, Rev. A. Maingrig, and others, proposed resolutions. Ultimately the meeting decided in favour of the three following lines :—The London, Newbury, and Bath Direct, the London, Devizes, and Bridgwater, and the South and Midlands Jimction. - - Mr. ARMES and Mr. MACAULAY followed on the same sid and in behalf of the Lynn and Ely. On a show of hands the majority were declared to be in favour of the Wallington line to Wisbeach, and that the suggested line was not deserving their support. No opinion was taken on the Boston, Stamford,; and Bir mingham. HERNE BAY, CANTERBURY, AND FAVERSHAM ATMOSPHERIC. Yesterday a meeting was held at the Pier Hotel, Herne Bay, which was attended by the Commissioners, and many of the principal landed and house proprietors in the town and its vicinity, for the purpose of considering the propriety of supporting this project. Dr. Stokes, the Chairman of the Commissioners, presided on the occasion. ' The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business, said it was mani fest that a railway communication to that healthful spot must be calculated to render an infinite benefit not merely to the town itself, but to every one connected with it. The plan, as proposed upon paper, appeared to him to carry out all that could be desired. For whilst it offered the facility of a rapid communication from and to the metropolis at a very trifling cost, so it would create a medium of transit to Can terbury, Dover, and the Continent.—(Hear, hear.) He was satisfied there could be no opposition offered to the project by the owners of property in Herne Bay or by its inhabitants, because, as he had stated, the greatest advantages in every point of view must result to Herne Bay. Mr. WnsoN, the Secretary to the Company, said it was proposed to run a line from Herne Bay to Canterbury, Whit stable, and Faversham, at which point it would form a junc tion, or connecting link, as it were, with one of the many lines which were projected to that place. There would then be a direct railway communication with London—(Hear, hear)—on the one hand, and through Herne Bay to Canter bury, Deal, Margate, Ramsgate, and the Continent. Herne Bay would be, as it were, the main focus, because not only would it have the advantage from the metropolis by the line to Faversham, but it would in consequence of its line to Canterbury and facile communication to Dover, be a consi derable gainer by its connexion with the celebrated. Herne Bay boats—the City of Canterbury, the Red Rover, and. Herne.—(Hear.) A discussion then ensued, in the course of which it was several times stated that the project would meet with every support from the parties living in and connecte d w i t h H erne Bay. ANDOVER CANAL AND MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON. ANDOVER.—A meeting of the Directors of the Manchester and Southampton Railway Company, and a Committee of the shareholders of the Andover Canal, took place at the office of the Railway Company on Thursday, when the Com•• pany agreed to purchase the canal from Redbridge to An dover at the sum of 30,0001., of which 10,0001., part thereof, is to be paid as a deposit to the Canal Company in January next. This arrangement, if carried into effect, will be of ad vantage to the shareholders of the canal, as hitherto the original shares have been considered of little value, but for which they will then realise nearly 40/. It will also increase the value of the railway shares. DIRECT LONDON AND EXETER. A meeting of the inhabitants of Hammersmith was held ast evening at the Albion Hall. There were present as a deputation from the Directors, Sir Henry Pym, Mr. Healy, Dr. Costelloe, with Messrs. Columbine and Tyrnan, solicitors, and Mr. Gomm, one of the assistant engineers. Mr. HEALY took the chair, and explained in an able ad dress, which want of space compels us reluctantly to omit, the merits and advantages of the line. Mr. COLUMBINE followed, and the other gentlemen of the deputation, whose statements appeared to give satisfaction. The delegates of the Luxembourg Railway Companies have been to Luxembourg, in order to open negotiations with the Grand Ducal Government to obtain the concession of a council, which should traverse the territory of Luxem bourg, and then he continued to Treves. The Courier of the Grand Duchy says. that these negotiations have failed, and that the delegates of the Company have left Luxembourg without having concluded anything with the council of the Government. RAILWAYS VERSUS COACIIES.—The advantages of railways over the old system of travelling are daily becoming more apparent. At first economy of time was the great feature in the improvement, now economy of money is as strikingly evident. The Brighton Railway Company has again re duced its fares. The first class fare, 10s., is now less than the outside fare heretofore charged by the coaches, to say nothing of the shillings (or rather half-crowns) and six • pences charged by the coachmen and porters. MADRID AND VALENCIA RAILWAY.— Yesterday, William Chadwick, Esq , the chairman, and others, forming froma deputa tion this company, had an interview with his Excellency the Spanish Ambassador. at his residence in Cavendish square, in order to make arrangements for the payment of the caution-money required by the concession —amounting to 3,000,000 of reals, equal to 30,7121. 17s. 10d. sterling. The deputation was received with the greatest courtesy by his excellency, who expressed himself favourably of the engineering character of the country through which the line will pass. The secretary of th e L ega ti on, b y the direction of his Excellency, afterwards accompanied Mr. Chadwick and P. B. Volney, Esq., the concessionnaire, to the Bank of England, where the full amount was deposited in strict conformity with the conditions of the concession. BARQUE CHAMPLAIN_MUTINY (From the St. John's Courier of September 13.) The following particulars of the mutinons conduct of twe crews on board this vessel, have been furnished us for puble. cation : ." Barque Champlain, J. D. Penton, master, sailed from St. John's about the sth August last, for Dungarvon, and after being at sea three days, and the advance notes of the seamen having been paid, the crew, nine in number, came aft and said they would do no more work until the ship's head was turned for St. John, on account of her leaky state, she then making from one-and-a-half to two inches per hour. They remained below and left the captain and mate in charge for seven hours. The captain having no alternative, bore up and arrived at St. John on the 10th August. On arrival. warrants were procured, and the seamen were taken into custody, the ship surveyed, top-sides caulked, pumps regularly sounded by the harbour-master and port.. wardens, and a certificate given of the barque's complete sea-worthiness. The seamen were tried be fore Alderman Porter, on a charge of refusing to pro . teed cu the voyage. The trial resulted in an order from the Alderman for the seamen to return on board to their duty. They did return, in company with others from the shore, threatened the mate's life, and finally left the vessel. Another crew, ten in number, was shipped, on the 21st ; the vessel again sailed from Partridge Island, and when between Grand Marian and the Machias Seal Islands, on the 23d, at nine A.M., the crew came aft, saying they would go no further in the ship, ordered the helm to be put up, which was prevented kyr Captain P. remaining by the man at the wheel. The crew squared the main-yard, but the mate prevented them from squaring the other yards. Eight of the crew then went below, and the captain and mate having gone forward to brace the main-yard up, the man at the wheel then left, saying he should do like the rest. The cap tain, mate, and one man, who acted as cook and steward. were all that remained on deck to work the vessel. On Sunday morning, it was discovered that there was seven feet water in the hold, and after pumping for some time found the water to increase. The captain then went forward to the forecastle hatch to ask the seamen if they intended to let the ship sink, when he saw a small hatch off, leading to the.fore-peak, and one man handing to the carpenter two. augers. The crew told him that if the weather only cleared they should confine him, and themselves take the ship to St, John, but if it remained thick, and the ship water-logged, they should take the boats and give him a plank. At thirty minutes after two, P.M., the weather having cleared a little, a brig called the Noble, of Lubec, saw the barque's ensign union down, and came within hail, and agreed to send Isis second mate on board to pilot the barque into Machias, it being the safest and nearest port. The crew then agreed to pump the ship out if they got something to eat, having had nothing for thirty-two hours. During the night they did not gain much on the water, and the pilot missed some of the men from the pumps, and on going forward he heard a loud knocking and saw the hatch off the fore peak, and one man came up, and three came over the bows, who pretended that they had been smoking.. They returned to the pumps, and the pilot communicated what he had seen and heard to the captain, who went over the bows in the morning, and then saw two plugs, perfectly new, four feet under water, projecting six or seven inches outside the ship's sheathing. This circumstance was made known to the mate and pilot, and they all resolved to say nothing about it at the time, lest the crew should refuse to work the ship while among the islands. A short time after wards, on looking over the bows it was found that one of the plugs had been cut off within an inch of the ship's side, and. the lower one about two inches. The water in the holL now rapidly decreasing, and at thr ay, the barque was brought to euc r Ilachias port, and afterwards mane but an inch and a half water in „;, - eenty-four hours—thus plainly proving that holes had been bored in the bows by the crew, and afterwards plugged. i nk , authorities at Machias refused to take charge of the Ca'ew, but sent a guard on board the ship. The cap , +ein pro.eceded to Eastport to the British Consul, who in (74,4,orrionied him back, when the crew were them i, stantly -, 01, examined the next day, and pronounced: guilty o i f n ni g u , tiv. 7, revolt, and piracy.

SCIENTIFIC NEWS. - The Congress Science, at Naples, held its first sitting on th month, and was opened by a speech of one Ministers, in the presence of his Neapolitan T worthy townsmen, Dr. Brown, of the British Dr. Owen, of the College of Surgeons, were amo remarked notabilities. Excursions to Mount royal palace of Casenta will follow, as the K municipality of Naples have made great preparat off on that occasion. THE WEATHER.—On Sunday night, al day had been mild and clear, the wind suddenly the eastward, and brought with it a thick haze o Wind yesterday morning continued in the same q it was also gloomy and hazy. In the middle some heavy rain descended, and continued at throughout. The temperature was full 10 degrees the previous day, and it was altogeter like a sad tion from summer to winter. _ .

This line of railway will commence at the junction of the Man chester aid Birmingham, Chester and Crewe, and Grand Junction Railways, at Crewe, in the county, of Chester, and proceed from thence through or near the towns of Market Drayton, Newport, and tkiffnal, in Shropshire, thence through the flourishing town of Kid derminster, to Worcester and Tewkesbury, and' ti the Bristol Rail way at Gloucester. By this means it will form the most direct route from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Hull, and Chester to the important ports of Gloucester and Bristol, indeed the most direct line from the north of England to the Bristol Channel. It will also, in conjunction wtih the proposed Hereford and Worcester, and Swan sea, Merthyr-Tydvil, and Hereford Railways, form the meet advan tageous route from Swansea and the iron districts of South Wales, to Liverpool, Manchester, and Hull. The line will cross the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway at Shiffnal, and the Shropshire Mineral Railway and. the Trent Valley Union at the thriving town of Newport. It will form a junction with the two latter railways at Newport, whereby persons and lug gage may be conveyed to Stafford, Derby, the midland counties, Staffordshire otteries, Sheffield, and Hull ; and, in addition to the carriage of heavy goods from Bristol, Gloucester, Worcester, and Kidderminster, to Manchester, Liverpool, the whole of the north of England, a ad Scotland—will secure a large passenger traffic in the district through which it passes. A branch will be made from New port to the ;important town of Wellington. The proposed railway will be about 87 miles in length, and be tween the tv to termini of Crewe and Gloucester, will save in distance at least 20 m Iles, and the journey can be accomplished, at the pre sent rapid rate of travelling, in about two hours. This project as a junction line, connects itself with some of the most important rail ways in the li.higdoin. It also skirts the large, extensive, and densely populated in n i districts of Shropshire and Staffordshire, and in its course passes. through a rich agricultural country. It must, there fore, be ebvl ous that there will be a sufficient traffic to pay a high rate of intei'e st on the capital required. There are no engineering difficulties in the country through which the line is inttended to pass, the whole being nearly on a level, and on reference, to the map of country, taken from the Ordnance survey, which accom panics the prospectus, the line will apptar straight, and will at the us me time show the superior advantages it possesses, and that it c,ann tbe surpassed by any existing or projected lines between the same tor, mini. It will not: interfere with any ornamental property, and as tunnel ling will be 3quired. Applicattoa . is intended to be made, in the ensuing session of Par liament, for a direct line of railway (of which a survey has becu made) ffom Southampton to Kiddermin:ter, and by which a ready communi cat; kin will he afforded to the most southern ports of England. The Habil' ties of the Shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscrii tions, and interest will be allowed on the deposits and further calls, from the date of the several payments to the opening of the line.

Brown, Esq. ; J. d ore B. Clements, Esq. ; J. Cutts, Esq. ; W. J. Cross, iscp; j..L. Davenport, Esq. ; H. W. Burgess, Esq., &c. A resolution was Then moved appointing a managing Com mittee, with power to P (Id to their numbers; but before it was carried— Mr. GREEN, of Bedford, rob; and observed, that in the list of the Committee there should be i: larger number of county . , representatives. He submitt e d th a t tree, if not five gentle men, should be elected from each ,g l t the principal towns situated on the line, as the representati,'44s in the managing Committee of the several towns in which t:' 42Y resided. The CHAIRMAN urged that if such a course were adopted, the number of the Committee would be unprec:4deete,d, and d observed that the greatvr the num b er o f Directo.'m tue less -4 ness would be done. 'Tni KEY contended that there was no necessitv for - Ament as had been proposed by Mr. Green, or itself comprehended all that was neces- ' -, tve the Committee power to add to i bus. Sir Jo,- such an amen, that the resolution nary, inasmuch as it i s , their number. they had beard nothing A PROPRIETOR observed, tha.. li ng , Wow it had about the progress o f th e survey or . - • . -• to been stated in the circular which called .. - ` l4 ineetinb r gether, that a full report fr om th e eng i neer . ‘nd surveyor would be submitted to the meeting, and he thoui;ht it was very essential that they should know how the work was pro gressing. The Soucrron to the Company said that the subject would have been brought before the meeting, but he had been dis appointed in not having received the engineer's report, which he had fully expected that morning. lie had himself written to the chief engineer upon the subject a few days ago, and, in his reply, that gentleman stated that the survey was being carried on as expeditiously as possible, and there were no less than sixty surveyors employed on every mile, and the whole would without doubt be completed long before the time required. The various officers of the Company were then elected, and a vote of thanks was unanimously passed to the Chair man, who in reply stated his fullest confidence in the merits of the line, which he had no doubt would become one of the most successful. THE NORFOLK AND MIDLAND COUNTIES LINES, LYNN, WISBEACH, AND PETERBOROUGH, AND LYNN AND ELY, AND THE BOSTON, STAMFORD, AND BIRMINGHAM LINES. KING'S LYNN, TUESDAY.—A large meeting of the iasinha bitants of King's Lynn was held at half-past six _o'clock evening, pursuant to adjournment, in the Townhallfor the purpose of meeting deputations from the Lynn, i , Wisbeach, 3s, to hear and Peterborough, and th.e Lynn and Ely an exposition of their objects, and for the purpose affording - th s eir opinion on the inhabitants an opportunity of expressing the respective Merits of the lines. A deputation from the Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham Company also attended. His worship the Mayor, Robert . Pitcher, Esq , presided. Mr. HOPE said the line was intended to . junction afford the inha bitants of that town a direct copmunicarton through Wis beach to Peterborough, and, by its with the London and Birmingham Railway, the means of a cheap, direct, and expiditious communication with Birmingham, Manches ter, Liverpool, and the other great manufacturing towns in the north of England. The directors had received applica tions for seven times the number of shares they were em powered to allot, and they were at a premium of from 21. 10s. to 31.—(Cheers) Another evidence of the desirability of the line was to be found in the fact that it had been pirated by others. The line was registered on the Bth of August ; on the 30th of August another scheme, traversing the same ground, was re g i s t ered in exactly the same name ; and on the Bth of September another company was registered, also iu the same name. They were the original Lynn, Wis-- beach, and Peterborough Railway, which interested parties, backed by local interest, were endeavouring to drive from the field. 3lr. ANDREWS, the solicitor, next addressed the meeting. Mr. IVmm4.us, who represented the Lynn and Ely, said the difference between the two lines would not be more than one mile and a half, and addressed the meeting in favour of his line. Mr. HOLT said they could post to Wisbeach in less time than they could be conveyed by the angle line. After some discussion, Mr. BAGSTER proceeded to address the meeting on behalf of the Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham, which he con tended by its jungt.ipn with other lines would afford them all the communicate which they desired with the Midland Counties, as well as the towns in the north of England. - --- _ -~ --- ----..___ EASE IN WALKING, TILLIAM BADDELEY, of 130, STRAND, is induced to give publicity to his much-admired PRE PARED 'LEATHER (so noted for extreme SOFTNESS and DURABILITY), in consequence of the patronage he has received, and the general satisfaction given by him in manufacturing the above into BOOTS, &c., on his peculiar fitting principle of combining elegance with ease.
