RUGBY, DERBY, AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY. (Provisionally registered, pursuant to 7th and Bth Vic., c. 110.) Capital, 1,500,0001. in 00,000 Shares cf 25/. each. Deposit 11. 7s. Gd. per Share. The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester R dlway is a direct line from t" , 1 01/ to Manchester, coining from London to Rugby, along the London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby by Hinck ley, through Market Bosworth, and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to Derby, Thence to Ashbounie and Macclesfield, and along the Macclesfield and Stockport and Stockport and Manchester Railways, into Manchester. Branches to Leake and Buxton are in contemplation. The principle of this railway is to obtain a direct through line be tween some of the most important districts in the kingdom with the least possible amount of new railway, and consequently the smallest exPenditure of capital. It will also establish the shortest direct communication between Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns On the North Midland Railway and London. The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway will open a direct eOttununication between Manchester and Derby, and will consider ably shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham and Manchester and Leicester. The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi cation from that town to London, which has been so long considered desirable by the inhabitants. The same will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester- Ileld branch of the North Midland Railway is made. THE GREAT 'ADVANTAGES .ar the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway over the other pro 4tetS into Manchester, among others, are — First, That there are only seventy-five miles of railway to be made, in place of one hundred and eighty-nine. 4 ,Secondly, That it is a more direct line from London to Manchester "An even the proposed direct lines. Thirdly, That it interferes with no existing railway property or Vested interests. Fourthly, That it passes through a district rich in manufactures, agriculture, and minerals, but which—more especially as regards its agricultural produce, and a convenient system of intercommunication for the conveyance of that agricultural produce, to supply the large manufacturing towns in the vicinity—has been hitherto left totally Itithout railway communication. Fifthly, That it passes through the towns in its route, in place of avoiding them. That the whole line of railway from Rugby to Manchester ' l4l be completed and in working order within ten months from the Passing of the Act of Parliament. Seventhly, That the maps, plans, estimates, and other documents l aq,„ aired by the standing orders of Parliament , will be lodged with parliamentary Parish Clerks, the Clerks of the Peace for the Counties, and the rarliamentary offices, on the 10th day of. November next, being tWenty days within the time required by the regulations of Parlia ment. The Report of the Engineer of the Company is already completed, and will be made public in a few days, upon which a further and full Prospectus, with the names of the Provisional Directory, will be In the meantime communications may be addresse d to Thomas George Smith, Esq., 2, Warnford-court, Throgmorton-street; Edward .Ashworth, Esq., anchester ; Messrs.

L Y and BURY ST. EDMUNDS RAIL WA Y. A Company is in the course of formation for the construction of a Railway from the city of Ely to the town of Bury St. Edmunds. The line will c3mmence by a junction at Ely with the Eastern Counties, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Huntingdon Railways, and will terminate at Bury by a junction with the Ipswich and Bury Railway. Its object is to preserve the mercantile connexion which has for generations subsisted between the county of Suffolk, the town of Bury, and the port of Lynn, and to afford Ipswich, Colchester, and Bury, and all that portion of the kingdom a direct communication with the manufacturing districts. The distance from Bury, and consequently from all places eastward of that town to Peterborough, the point at which so many lines pass ing from the south and east to the north and north-west converge, will by the Ely and Bury line be ten miles shorter than the route to that city by way of Cambridge. A detailed Prospectus will be issued immediately. ROOPER, BIRCH, and INGRAM, 68, Lincoln's Inn-fields. MIDLAND, BARNSLEY, DEWSBURY, LEEDS, AND BRADFORD, RAILWAY. Provisionally Registered. The object of this Line is to make a short and direct communica tion between Bradford, Cleckheaton, Heckmondwike, and Dewsbury, with Barnsley, Sheffield, and all intermediate places to London. By the present route from London, the Sheffield and Barnsley passengers and goods are brought by way of Normanton, a distance of 12% miles from Barnsley, and then either by Leeds to Bradford, a distance of at least 20 miles, or by the Leeds and Manchester Line to Brighouse, a distance of at least 20 miles, making the total distance from Barnsley to Bradford, by Leeds, 32 miles, and by the Manchester line, 42 miles. The distance from Dewsbury to Barnsley, by the present Railway, is 22 miles. The promoters of this line propose to com mence this Railway by a junction with the North Midland line, at a point below Barnsley, to Barnsley, and from thence in a direct course to Dewsbury, reserving to themselves the power of making the line to Bradford through the Cleckheaton Valley, provided the West Riding Junction and West Yorkshire amalgamated Companies do not at the next session of Parliament apply to make that part of the line. The line at Dewsbury will make a junction with the Leeds and Dews bury Railway, West Riding Junction, and West Yorkshire Amalgamated Scheme, and the present Manchester and Leeds Rail way, at or near a place called Thornhill Lees, making the distance, as the crow files, to be as followS : Barnsley to Bradford Barnsley to Dewsbury ... ..... This line will, therefore, effect the following saving in distances : To Derby, London, &c. from Bradford, about 11 miles. To Barnsley from Bradford •.•.• . • • • • To Sheffield from Bradford . . To Barnesley from Dewsbury.. .. 12 „ To Barnsley from Leeds - The proposed line, in conjunction with the Leeds and Dewsbury, West Riding Junction and West Yorkshire Railways, will bring, by the shortest route, to the populous manufacturing districts between Barnsley, Dewsbury, and Bradford, the traffic from Leicester, Derby, London, &c. This Railway will also open one of the richest coal districts in the kingdom. If the presentlifull and Barnsley Junctionitailway project should be obtained, this Railway will be a direct line to Hull. And in conjunc tion with other projects now before the public, will be a direct line, from Sheffield, Barnsley, Dewsbury, &c., to the North. When the survey is completed a detailed prospectus, with the names of the Provisional Committee, will be published. The Capital re quited for the undertaking to be divided into Shares of 201. each, and two guineas deposit will then also be announced.

The project will still retain its chief characteristic of a direct railway, and by its connexion, near Warrington, with the Grand Junction Company, is sufficiently comprehensive, without resorting to a com plicated system of branch lines, or materially conflicting with the in terests of existing companies. The line will commence at the city of Chester, and proceed by way of Trafford, Frodsham, and Preston 'Brook, to Warrington, thence by Lymm and Stretford direct to Manchester. From a point on the main line, near Frodeham, a branch will be take n to j oin the Chester and Birkenhead Railway, so as to unite Manchester in the most direct manner possible, with the docks now being formed at Bir kenhead. As Manchester, from its geographical position, is the centre of rail way communication between Scotland and the most populous dis tricts of England, so Chester, from a like cause, is the great centre of railway communication between the capitals of Ireland and of Eng land. To connect these two points by a direct and independent line of railway must, therefore, be of the utmost importance, not only in a local point of view, but to the whole commercial intercourse of the country. This line will be the most direct route, by Holyhead, to Ireland, and will be, in all respects, by far the preferable channel of inter course and transit between Ireland and the great manufacturing dis tricts of England. By the railways connecting Chester with Wrex ham, Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Hereford, Gloucester, and South Wales, this will be the nearest route from Manchester to the south western parts of England, and to the minerals of Monmouth and Glamorganshire. The communication with Bristol, Gloucester, and Exeter will be speedy and direct. On reference to t he map, it will be seen that a very considerable distance will be saved by this line, as compared with the present circuitous routes by Crewe and by Birkenhead; the former being 52 miles, and the latter 46 miles, while the proposed line is only 34 miles, saving in the one case 18 miles, and in the other 12 miles, besides the serious inconvenience, loss of time, and expense of passing through Liverpool, and crossing the water at that plaee. It is confidently expected that this line will be the precursor of another scheme, of no ordinary importance—namely, to render 'hester an efficient port for large vessels. This subject was entertained by Sir John Rennie in 1835, and sub sequently, in the same year, by the late Mr. Chapman, who wrote an able report upon the capabilities of the river Dee. It was again nvestigated, in 1837, by Sir John Rennie and Mr. George Remington, and the practicability of forming a good navigable channel for vessels of large burden, together with docks at Chester, was then fillly and clearly established. The entrance channel would commence at Dawpool, which is easy of access (and infinitely preferab , e, in point of access and safety, to the docks at Liverpool or Birkenhead), for vessels of large burden, during eight hours every tide, both at springs and neaps ; and the rill of the lock would be sufficiently low to admit vessels drawing 20 feet water to enter at all tides. This railway, therefore, in connexion with the proposed docks, will render to Chester and Manchester incalculable advantages. To the former it will restore the proper position natural to so important a city ; to the latter it will give another outlet, by sea, to the ma nufacturing districts, free of the heavy port charges, dues, and risks to which the produce is now subject. It has not been thought advisable to combine the two objects in one company at pr, but should it be found requisite, the two may hereafter be amalga mated. Merits of no ordinary degree, therefore, may fairly be claimed tbr this railway, whether taken in connexion wit h the proposed docks, eras standing alone, combining as it does all the advantages of any other lines, with this great addition, that it will be the high read to the most convenient outport of Manchester, and will be quite inde pendent of any associations or influences that might tend to oppose the growing desire for a means of direct and independent communi cation between Manchester and the port of Chester. The line has been carefully examined. There are no difficult earth-works to be encountered ; on the contrary it will be cheap, and of easy fbrmation. Power is reserved to the Committee to de viate from the proposed line in the vicinity of Manchester, should ulterior arrangements render It expedient.

JOHN DENNISTON, Secretary. Mansfield, Notts., Aug. 2G, 1845. NEWSY and ENNISKILLEN RAILWAY COMPANY. At the FIRST GENERAL MEETING of this COMPANY, held in pursuance of the Act of Incorporation, at the Company's Office in Newry, on Wednesday, the 20th August, 1845, THOMAS o: HENRY, in the Chair, the Secretary read the notice of the let instant, published in the pre scribed newspapers, calling this meeting. The Secretary also read the following report of the Provisional. Committee REPORT TO THE FIRST ORDINARY MEETING. " The Provisional Committee, in submitting to the proprietors the following statement, have to congratulate them on the success which has attended the efforts made for the formation of the Company, and obtaining the Act of Incorporation, which received the royal assent on the 21st of July last. " The Committee, when Appointed in October last, had much diffi culty to contend with, in consequence of the shortness of the period within which the Company, then only projected, had to be formed— the capital to be subscribed for---the surveys to be made—and the other steps to be taken, so as to bring the undertaking before the Board of Trade, and properly prepared tor the opposition which there was every reason to expect in Parliament from other com panies, whose preparations were then far advanced. _ . " Having prepared and issued the prospectus of the Company, your Committee immediately proceeded to look for the necessary profes sional assistance, and were fortunately able, after some little delay, to secure the services of gentlemen of experience, well qualified for the duties to be performed ; and your Committee feel it due to them to state that they devoted themselves zealously to the business, and their exertions have conduced, in a great degree, to the success of the undertaking. " A deputation from the Committee proceeded to London, and with the assistance of the solicitors there, established a highly In fluential London Committee, who cordially co-operated with the de putation; and, by their continued attention, have most effectually promoted the interests of the Company. " The Committee, in many communications with the Board of Trade, strongly urged the merits of their case, but were disap pointed in their expectations, on finding that Board dttermined to report, as they afterwards did, against the construction of that part of the line between Newry and Armagh, under the erro neous impression that the Dublin and Belfast Junction Railway (then also under their consideration) would afford stiffielent accommodation to the town of Newry. Your Committee, however, being convinced that adequate accommodation could not be so af forded, and that the interests, not only of the town of Newry, but of the public in general, required a direct Railway from Newry to Armagh, considered it their duty to proceed in Parliament for the entire line, according to the original prospectus ; and, notwithstand ing the report of the Board of Trade and the powerful opposition of rival companies, the propriety of the course taken has been fully established by the result of the contest, in the progress of which it was distinctly proved, to the satisfaction of the Committee of the House of Commons, that a due regard to the public convenience de manded the entire railway projected by the Newry and Enniskillen Railway Company, and that the undertaking would be remunerative to the proprietors, taking into account only the existing traffic be tween the termini, and without giving credit for the increase which might fairly be expected from the construction of other lines of rail way, and for some of which Acts have since been obtained. " Your Committee feel bound to state, that, at great personal inconvenience, a deputation from their body, consisting of Mr. John Boyd, Mr. Lyle, Mr. Jennings, and Mr. Irvine, proceeded to London, where the three last-mentioned gentlemen remained from their homes and business, actively engaged for the advantage of the Company, during a period of several months, and until the success of the measure was secured. In mentioning the services by indivi duals the kind assistance and untiring exertions of that lamented Nobleman,lhe late Marquis of Downsbire, must be especially noticed, as well as the great advantages the Company have derived from the support and personal attendance of the present Marquis, and the in defatigable exertions, both in and out of Parliament, made by the Viscount Newry and Morne. The Committee regret, that from the short interval allowed by Parliament to elapse between the passing of the Act, and the first general meeting of the Company, they have been unable to get in all the accounts, so as to be in a situation to present a detailed statement of the funds, and that they can, at pre sent, only state, that after discharging such accounts as have been rendered, and making paying to the engineers, solicitors, and Par liamentary agent, on account of their claims, they have a balance in hands of over 24,0001. ; and recommend to the incoming Directors that they immediately proceed to ascertain and settle the outstanding liabilities, and, with as little delay as possible, pre pare and submit to the Proprietors their detailed account. "Your Committee have felt the necessity of maintaining a cordial intercourse between the English and Irish Shareholders, who are mutually interested in the success of this important work, and ar rangements have been accordingly entered into for continuing a London Committee, which cannot fail to have the effect of securing, by an interchange of advice and co-operation, the best interests of the Shareholders at large. "Your Committee have, itirther, to report that the necessary investigations are being actively proceeded with, under the directions of the engineer, for the construction of the line; and that, having regard to the present state of the funds of the Company, the Com mittee do not think that it will be necessary to make an early call upon the Proprietors. " The election of thirteen Directors and two Auditors, for the en suing year, is the business for which the first ordinary meeting has been called, pursuant to the Act of Parliament." Resolved—On the motion of Mr. JOHN HANCOCK, seconded by Mr. P. MURPHY:- That the report now read be adopted and printed, and circulated among the Shareholders. The following noblemen and gentlemen were then elected Directors for the year : The Viscount Newry and Morne, Lord Edwin Hill, the Hon. John Henry Knox, David It. Ross, M.P., William Morley, James John Kinloch, Henry Thomson, Charles Jennings. James Lyle, Hugh Dal zell, Francis Carvil, Thomas G. Henry, and Hill Irvine, Esqrs. Mr. George Scott and Mr. James M'George were elected Auditors. Resolved—On the motion of Mr. JAMES SAVAGE, seconded by Mr. E ASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. EXCURSION TRAIN TO CAMBRIDGE.

The Directors of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, observ ing that, in the Advertisements of the Chelmsford and Bury Railway Company, it is stated that their particular line is supported and sanctioned by the Eastern Counties Railway Company, have to an nounce that no such support or sanction has been given. The Company's engineer, Mr. Robert Stephenson, has been in structed to examine the entire district, and to advise upon the line of railway to be constructed through it, which the Eastern Counties Railway Company must sanction as most conducive to public inte rest. By order of the Board, A BULKELEY, Seeretary. Offices, London Terminus, Aug. 12, 1845. T HE DIRECT LONDON AND HOLYHEAD AIdD PORT DYNaAEN RAILWAY. (Provisionally Registered). The public is respectfully informed that a Company is in course of formation for establishing a direct communication between London an Holyhead and London and Port Dynllaen, thereby effecting theshortest possible communication between London, Birmingham, and the centre of England, and Dublin and the whole of Ireland. On reference to the Railway Map of Ireland it will be seen that most of the lines in that country converge either at Dublin or Wick low, the former being nearly in a direct line with Holyhead and the latter with Port Dynllaen. This undertaking will therefore unite in one main line the whole of the Irish traffic to this country; and when the system of railway communication in Ireland is complete, will doubtless obtain a very large proportion of the American passenger traffic which will then pass by Port Dynllaen and Wicklow to Va lentia Bay as the nearest point to the United States and our North American colonies. The present line is in effect nearly identical with that recom mended by the Government Commissioners in their reports on the communication between London and Dublin, and whicb was then surveyed with much care ; making allowances, however, for the al tered circumstances that have since occurred by the increase of railways in this country, and availing itself as far as possible of ex isting or contemplated lines. _ It is intendedio proceed by the London and Birmingham Railway to Birmingham, and thence by one of the now projected lines to Shrewsbury, or another course will be by the London and Birming ham, Trent Valley, Trent Valley and Shrewsbury Railways to the same point, where this railway commences, and proceeds in the most direct practicable course to a point near Balla, where the line forks ; one branch proceeding to Bangor, where it unites with the Chester and Holyhead and North Wales Railways, employing the former line to Holyhead, and thus avoiding the enormous expense entailed by crossing the Menai Stalls ; the other branch proceeding through a district rich in slate, stone, minerals, &c., by Tremadoc to Port Dynllaen, where it will also unite with the North Wales Railway, which will prove a valuable adjunct to the present ptojcct. The importance of the undertaking, not only to the great com panies to which it will prove so important a feeder, but also in a national point of view, as effecting a most considerable saving of time and expense on the route to Dublin and the coast of Ireland, are too great to be overrated, and too obvious to be required to be insisted upon. It is clear that the traffic must be unusually large, and from the surveys made there appears no doubt that the line can be constructed at an average cost. Full particulars, with the names of a moat influential Provisional Committee, will be published as soon as a correct estimate of the requisite capital is obtained, and in the meantime no applications for shares can be received.

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 from 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 600,000 i. 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 Wales Railway Company (who have obtained their Act of Parlia ment for a railroad from Fishguard and Milford Raven to Chepstow) n connecting it with the principal railways of the kingdons, at Gloucester, and making it the direct road to London, via Cheltenham and Oxford, for effecting which projects are now before the public with most influential support. The line is twenty-six miles in length, has no engineering difficulties ; the gradients and curves are ex tremely good, and works light. It may with very great confidence be asserted, that there is scarcely a short line of railroad in the kingdom which offers greater advantages to the Shareholders than the present. Pro vision will be made in the Act of Parliament which will be applied for in the next Session to limit the liability of the Shareholder to the amount of his Shares, and to allow four per cent. on the calls. Applications for Shares to be to the Solicitors, or to Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, meadTneedle street, and Messrs. Backhouse and Co., No. 4, Angel Court, Throgmorton-street, Lon don ; Messrs.

At a meeting of the Committee of Management of this under taking, held this day, it was resolved that, in order to comply with the standing orders of the House of Lords, as recently altered, it is expedient to reduce the amount of each share to 201., and to extend the number to 50,000, and that the deposit required be 21. 2s. on each share, and that, in consequence of this alteration in the amount and number of shares and the deposit required, the period within which shares must be applied for be extended to the 28th instant for the London applications, and to the 30th instant for country application. By order, A. BARRETT, Secretary 29, lioorgate-striet, August 14. 1845 P.

Hearn and Nelson, and Mr. 'Henry Smith, Buckingham The object of this undertaking is to supply railway communication to the towns and districts lying between the London and Birmingham, and the Great Western Railways, giving them the best means of access to the metropolis, and connecting them also with the Northern and Eastern lines of railway, as well as with Oxford and the South. The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham Railway, near Harrow, and passing to the north of Uxbridge, will proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham to Missenden 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 camesion with the line here proposed, the Bedford, and Loudon and Birmingham Company, intend to make a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton. The proposed ISuckingham and London and Birmingham Railway Company (for the construction of a line from 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 very large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of land through or near whose property it is intended 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 uirmingham 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 W of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London, and South Staffo r d sh i re R a il w ay Company, subject to the a pp r obation of the Committee of Management, with the exception of such as may be required for parties having local interests.

Steps were taken about throe months past for the formation of this Company, and applications were received for a large number of Shares ; but before proceeding to an allotment, the Committee and the Projector deemed it advisable to have direct information from Jamaica on subjects connected. with the line—the probable cost of the land through which it would pass—the engineering difficulties, if any —and other matters connected with the line. They have received this information and set it forth herewith. The Provisional Directors have now determined to bring the Com pany forward, and to extend the line as far as Annotta Bay : the principal towns to be thus con fleeted are Montego Bay with Falmouth.... distance 20 Miles.

At the latter place it will join the line intended to be formed to Kingston, and thus unite the most populous and rich districts of the North with the South by a junction with the Jamaica Junction and South Midland Line, and the c and shipping port of Kingston, and afford a quick and cheap mode s of transit for passengers and goods; and, at the same time,._ will supply the means of a daily com munication by post, instead of r a weekly one, under the present sys tem ; and whilst these facilities will be offered, it bids fair to prove highly beneficial to the Sharehol d ers • , • for whoa it is considered that the existing difficulties of appznaen from one town to another (no mail or stage coaches running) , and also the Wetness of many of the harbours and inlets, are such as to retard the shipment of the pro duce of the soil and merchand ize ; it may be fair to presume that afrom Kingston for sale or this cheap and certain means o f con veying passengers andgoods, shipment.rtion of it will find it ; 3 way to and Company.

The Directors are authoris ed to state that they anticipate every support and patronage from lime Governor and Legislature of the island ; and they wish to establish a perfect understanding be tween this and the other companies already formed, and, with this view, they offer to give a preference of shares, to the extent of one share for every two, held in the original Kingston and Spanish Town Line, and the like proportion tc► the holders of shares in the Jamaica Junction and South Midland Lines. provided they apply for them on or before the 3d of September. A reserve of shares will be nu tde for persons resident in Jamaica.

The primary object of the projected Institution is the accommo dation of Pauper Lunatics for the Northern Counties, and other Lunatics in poor circumstances, but not Paupers, whose support fags upon their relations. 2. The contribution of 211. entitles the contributor to the privilege of presentation at the most reduced rate of board ; and any parish or number of individuals contributing to that amount is entitled to the same privilege. 3. Of course the larger the number of patients, the lower will be the rate of charge; and if, ultimately, the Asylum, by additional buildings, provide accommodation for a better class of patients, their higher board will assist in further lessening that of the poorer classes. 4. congregations, and individuals not legally liable in the sup port of Pauper Lunatics, it is no inconsiderable privilege, that of being entitled to send to such an Institution any peer individual, not a Pauper, with whom they may be connected, or in whom they may feel an interest, at a rate of certainly not less than 30 per cent. lower than the board of those in a similar station sent by persons not pos sessing such privilege.
