RAILWAY INTELLIGEN CE. WELSH MIDLAND. W ORC ESTER, SATURDAY NIGHT.—To-day the Provisional Directors and officers of the Welsh Midland Company at tended at the Star and Garter Hotel, in this city, for the pur pose of affording to the inhabitants and landowners whose Interests may be affected by the proposed line, an opportunity of inspecting the plans, and also for the purpose of hearing any suggestions relative to the line, the objects of which are to connect the manufacturing districts, and the seaports of South Wales in the Bristol Channel, with Birmingham and the great manufacturing districts of Staffordshire, thus form rtig a perfect communication between the great mineral dis tricts of Staffordshire, the salt districts of Worcestershire, the manufacturing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, Worces tershire, Warwickshire, and Nottinghamshire, and the sea port of Liverpool, with South Wales and the numerous works in its mineral field. Since the original plan was pub lished, several modifications have been made. Originally the line from this city proceeded vii Bromyard to Leominster and Hereford ;but this route has since been changed, so as to take in the fashionable watering-place of Great Malvern, tunnel ling through the hill, and approaching within three miles of Ledbury. and proceeding to Hereford. A preliminary meeting was held at one o'clock, for the purpose of pointing out the line upon the Ordnance maps. At this a large number of landowners on the route between Worcester and Malvern attended, and to whom the engineer, Mr. Gibbs, and Mr. Sidney Hall, pointed out and explained the line as now intended to be taken. They appeared to be satisfactory. At three o'clock the deputation again attended at the Star and Garter, for the purpose of laying before those in terested the general features of the undertaking. The de- Cation consisted of Mr. Bulkeley Hughes. M.P., and . J. Palmier Budd, deputy-chairman of the Welsh Mid land Cqmpan ,• Mr. Acker, M.P., J. Regan, Esq., a Di pectin of the Manchester and Leeds Railway ' • J. Parry de Winton, Esq., A. S. M. Maskelyne, Esq., S. Beale, Esq., Director of the Midland Railway; and .1. N. Foster, Esq., ho were attended by Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Hall, engineers; who were attended by Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Hall, engineers; Isasrs. Parker, Rose, and Norton, the solicitors ; Mr. Pritchard, secretary, and the following local solicitors : XL Hughes, Worcester; Mr. Mines, Leominster - Mr. Cleave, Hereford; and M r . Collis, Stourbridge. A mongst the landowners and others present were Sir A. Lechmere, Bart., and T.-C. Hornyhold, J. E. Williams, 0. Mason, H. Lakin (Lord Beauchamp's agent), J. Dowding, C. Griffiths, Vernon, Strawley ; J. H. Allen, T. Jones, Sherridge ; James Best (agent for Earl Somers), G. Farley, J. Herbert, 3. D. Onley, E. Corles, T. Waters, J. W. Lea, Vice-Chair man of the Severn Improvement Commission ; J. M. Gutch, E. Pidcock, J. Hill, town clerk ; and M. Pierpoirit, Esqrs. ; Revs. G. Williams, and Griffiths, besides numerous trades men and merchants. Mr. J. PALMER BUDD, a proprietor, of the Ystalyfera ironworks, in Glamorganshire, rose, and on behalf of the Directors of the Welsh Midland, directed attention to the objects of the line as detailed above. The line, he observed, had been originated not on the Stock Ex change or by speculating lawyers and engineers, but was a Lena fide scheme, set on foot in the South Wales district, and cordially supported all along the route.—(Hear, hear.) It proceeded from Birmingham to Kidderminster, Bewdley, Leominster, and Hey, direct to Swansea. Then a line frqm Worcester proceeded to Malvern and Hereford, another line deviating to Gloucester. At Birkenhead they would have( communication with the Irish Sea, and access to the whole system of English railways. They had no need to advertise for capital, for plenty had already been fur nished to them ; and, in allotting the shares, if they had neglected any application, it was on account of the impos sibility of granting it. At Hay there would be a great fork, one prong of which would proceed to Hereford and Worcester, and the other to Kidderminster and Birmingham. The line proceeded on to Carmarthen, uniting with the sea coast, and giving access to Cardigan and Newport. By it the present distance between Ireland and London and Ireland and Bir iningham would be lessened by many miles. The line would have every element of traffic, seeing that it embraced the agricultural district of Breconshire, Herefordshire, Shrop shire, and Worcestershire, the copper, iron, and tin works of Glamorganshiro and Monmouthshire, and the iron and coal fields of those counties and of Staffordshire. It would also supply a quick transit for coal and lime. At Brecon the main line joined with the Carmarthen and other lines, and also touted with lines now existing in those mineral dis - tries At Llendillo it connected the Llanelly district by means of the Llanelly Railway, and it joined the Taaf Vale Railway at two points, one at Merthyr, and the other at the terminus in the Aberdare Valley, thus opening a free and entire channel of intercourse to the central parts of England. With regard to Newport, there was a scheme for a line of railway from that port to Pontypool and Abergavenny. The Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford Company, had pur cinieed the tram-road from Abergavenny to Hereford, at which latter city they would join the Welsh Midland, and so bring up the produce of the Monmouthshire mineral fields to Hereford. He could not conceive under what paucity of in • formation any one could have dared to say that the Welsh Midland line did not accommodate the iron trade of the South Wahe district, for it did accommodate it in a way which no other scheme could possibly pretend to do.—( Hear and cheers.) It bad been said, that by means of a line running east and west, they would be able to accommodate all the iron- works; but their engineer declared the impracticability of such a line. Their (the Welsh Midland) junction with the Xecrport and Abergavenny line would afford all the accom modation required. After some further remarks on the impracticability of the Eastern and Western line, Mr. Budd said it was their wish to conciliate all parties, consistent with the success of the measure, and the general interests el the Shareholders. The plans as regarded Worcester, would be so devised as to make a junction with all the different railways brought to this city—(Hear, hear)—and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway among the rest. Looking to the South Wales line, they ibund gradients in it worse than 1 in 60 ; on their own, lin 100 was the greatest. They would therefore, be ena bled to work with the mat rapid speed of railway tra velling. They had also made beneficial arrangements with mon" canal interests at Hay and Brecon, which would offal. them advantages not possessed by others. The Welsh Midland would, doubtless, in the next session of Parliament, be the great line of the session ; and, looking at the various features of their case, which would have the advocacy of the same solicitors, who in sn arduous campaig n of 76 days, had triumphantly car ried the London and 'York scheme through Parliament. He had no doubt that the fullest success would attend them. Unknown to him as were the deputation who now attended to lay before that meeting the plans of the Welsh Midland Railway, they would no: call upon the meeting at once to decide in their favour, but would leave them to digest the feteures of the undertaking; and he doubted not that they would ultimately give the Company their full support. The p'an which they had adopted of attending meetings of the Inhabitants of the several districts to endeavour to conci %de, In preference to asking them at once for their suf frages, had hitherto been attended with the most satisfactory - - Mr. STALLARD. wine-merchant, then put a number of questions to Mr. Budd, with the ♦iew of ascertaining whe ther or not the mileage of the plan had not been increased since the first prospectus had been issued; and whether, therefore, the amlunt of capital proposed to be raised, would not require to be increased. Mr. BUDD and Mr. ACKER.% in reply, stated that the Bre con and Merthyr Junction Company, which would join them, would bring in a capital which would be at their service. The original plans had been altered, and would perhaps continue to be varied further. If these called for an increase of capi tal, they had not the slightest doubt that every farthing which they might want would be easily raised. Mr. STALLARD then asked upon what gauge the line would De constructed? Mr. BUDD replied that they were in the hands of the royal oommission, which commission, he hoped, would effectually stop the plague of gauges. If the commission decided that Worcester should be the determining point, he could not con ceive how that could injure the interests of the city. Mr. STALLARD then put the question to Mr. Budd, whether the Welsh Midland h a d not b een originally brought out in support of the South Staffordshire (or Rugby and 'Ding scheme). M-. Hupp— Most decidedly not. MT. STALLA rtr—Did you not say, when vou were examined kebre the committee of the House of Commons, that the Booth Staffordshire line was to join the Welsh Midland? Mr. Btrl)D—Decidly not. I said it would form a junction at Worcester.—(Hear, hear, and cries of " Oh.") After some farther conversation, Mr WATERS (Clerk, of the Peace for Worcester) inquired at what point it was intended to cross the Severn at Wor cer4 r • whether above or below the present bride? Mr:Gzsas, the engineer, said that was a point on which they wished to hear the suggestions of the meeting. WATERB then asked whether the bridge would be an Mr. open or solid bridge ? Mr. GIBBS said he hardly saw the necessity for an open bridge; on which lefr. WATERS said, that as connected with the Severn Im pprovement, he would at once give him notice that a solid bridge would be strongly opposed, both by that commission and the citizens of Worcester. Some further discussion ensued, which was at length put an end to by Mr. Gtrrmr, banker, who proposed a vote of thanks to the deputation. He was glad they had followed the precedent of the Great Western and Eastern deputation, in not asking of the meeting a resolution in favour of them. MT. STALLARD seconded the vote, and Mr. B. Huoims acknowledged it. SOUTHAMPTON, MANCHESTER, AND OXFORD JUNCTION (PARSON'S LINE.) FA/miaow, SATURDAY.—This afternoon a meeting of fie laii`downers and inhabitants of Swindon and its vicinity wits held at the Goddard Arms Tavern, in pursuance of a requisition signed by fifty-two residents. The meeting consisted of nearly every gentleman and tradesman in the town. Mr. Ambrose Goddard, the largest landowner in the district, presided. The meeting was also attended by a numerous deputation from the Committee of management, comprising Lieutenant-Colonel Elrington, Major Croft, Major Morse Cooper, C. E. Bigge, Esq., J. M‘Millan, Esg., J. B. Payne, Esq., L. Pocock, Esq., W. Parsons, Esq. (projector of the line), and H. Renton, C.E. Mr. WHEELER opened the business. The proposed line offered great accommodation to the town, would be highly beneficial to its markets, and conducive to the interests of the neighbourhood.—(Hear, hear.) Swindon, in every point of view, would reap vast advantages from its forma tion.--(Hear, hear.) Major Monsn COOPER said, so satisfied was he of the great benefits which Swindon would derive from the facility (I . railway . _ communicatio n which this line presented, that it nen almost, as it were, become a necessity that they should have it constructed as They had every prospect o quicklyf il as possible.—(Hear, hear.) amongst the membe rs o f t h eir eing succeesful ; for they hnd Committee first-rate men— th.—( Hear, we n of tithear.) le and fortune, and plenty of money to wo r k 1K Mr. PARSONS, after alluding to to the li ne it se lf , i f the meeting would refer to t h ethe powerful supp or t hi s tine had received, said, with respect proposedas alocalob)ect, m ap t hey would see that it was i in the first place facilities of transit to the rich and thic kly to afford h po pulated di s t r i ct al North Wilte, Hants, and Berke, hit imperfectly su pplied with railway accommodation, send but nereased pli s bment of so comprehensive a sc h eme w that the accom oi a bout sixty miles of railway to be constructed.id l require only pro pOled to be taken was to commence near th The c ourse road s tation of the South Western Railway,e Andover whioti that line commenced its direct southern the point at then passing near Whitchurch, in a northerly direct ion, course., and diverge into two branches, about four miles so u th of . to elere.

The other branch would take a rnreet northern coarse, by Newbury and Daley, to the Dideot station of the Great Western Railway, at which place it would join the Oxford and Rugby Line, which was in di rect communication with all the northern lines ; and thus the two great arterial lines of railway in the north-west and . aortbi ittating north and south, and communicating with the kw , ifie,ations in the Potteries, the manufactu t , itij: tricts, anthfkotland, would be led to, and ..r3 , in-'°. trunk line leading direct to Ports -1 0101111pto,x—p(dear, bear.)

The farmers would be able at once to select the best markets to which, at a cheap and quick rate, they could forward their produce. There would be one tunnel, of about three-quarters of a mile in length, near the Three Crosslegged-hill, at Ilighclere. The Learned Gentleman then entered into a minute detail of the peculiarities of the line itself, and remarked that the distance of rail would be about sixty miles, which would be completed for 900,0001., a sum which, when speaking of railway transactions, was now a•days regarded as a trifling affair. A resolution in favour of the line was then moved by Mr. PAYNE, and seconded by Mr. PERKS. Mr. BRADFORD moved an amendment, to the effect that any expression of opinion in favour of a particular line would be premature, until the advantages of the other had been heard, seeing that there were no fewer than seven proposing to run by Swindon. Mr. CROWBY seconded the amendment. Mr. SEWELL, of Cirencester, submitted that the line which offered the greatest advantages to Swindon was the South ampton and Manchester. The Learned Gentleman entered into a lengthened detail in support of the position he had ad vanced. Mr. PARSONS said it was somewhat extraordinary, if the Southamptoa and Manchester Railway was calculated to confer such overwhelming benefits upon Swindon, that the committee of that line should not long since have come to that town and pointed out the fact.—(Hear, hear.) But the truth was, the committee had, down to the present time, never considered Swindon as anything; they had, in truth, turned upon its inhabitants the cold shoulder.—(Hear, hear.) Did the meeting conceive that the Legislature would sanction such a vast line, which would run like a boa constrictor throughout the land, devastating the houses and ruining the property of the people of the land, through or near which it would force its course? Why there would be something like ninety miles of cutting between Cheltenham and Southamp ton. Then this was to be accomplished at an expenditure of 1,500,0001., whilst the same end would be effected by means of the short line which he had proposed, for an outlay of 900,000l.—(Hear, hear.) Moreover, as far as the town of Swindon was concerned, the Southampton and Manchester line would not come within two miles of it, so that it had been intended by that Company to leave that town in the lurch.—(Hear, hear.) After a considerable discussion the resolution was carried by a majority of 27 to 4. Petitions to both Houses of Parliament were subsequently prepared, add received the signatures of nearly the whole of the inhabitants of the town, praying that the line might be passed into a law. LONDON, ILOUNSLOW, AND WESTERN. A numerous and respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Hounslow and the vicinity was held on Saturday afternoon, at the George Inn, for the purpose of receiving a deputation from the Cempany, and hearing an explanation of its con templated plans and operations, in the hope of restoring its lost trade and vitality to Hounslow. Mr. HENRY BERKELEY M.P. for Bristol, presided, and in opening the business, stated that they had assembled in com pliance with a requisition from the inhabitants, and observed that bad he had the task imposed upon him some twenty years ago of addressing the inhabitants of Hounslow and its vicinity on such a subject, situated as the town then was, in a highly flourishing condition, be should have expected his re ception among them to have been anything but agreeable, for it would have been requesting them to commit themselves to their own ruin. But the question now before them was not whether steam was or was not to be the order of the day. That question had already been disposed of. Steam was the great pervading power, and to attempt to oppose the march of steam, would be just as effectual as to attempt to stop the influx of the tides.—(Hear, hear.) He had witnessed the effects of the introduction of steam power into this coun try, and had not only seen the ruin which had fallen upon this town, but had had opportunities of comparing it with the condition of others similarly situated. Let them com pare Hounslow and Barnet, for instance : formerly Hounslow was the most flourishing town on the western road, and Barnet on the north road, and both had suffered in the same way. The great roads which had been the cause of their prosperity had been destroyed, and neither of the towns had the advantages of railway communication.— ( Hear, hear.) It was all very well to say, as was asserted by the Great Western, the Birmingham, and other great lines, that they would bring prosperity to all the towns in the districts through which they passed.(Hear, hear.) But how bad the promise been redeemed ? If it was urged that there was no station within two or three miles of the town, that the poor rates were increasing, and houses would not let, the reply was, "Oh, wait until the line comes fully into play, and prosperity will be restored." But pros perity had not been restored, and how had the promises been redeemed? Why, the inhabitants of that town bad no more connexion with the Great Western Railway than if they were one hundred miles off.—(Hear, hear.) No one, he was sure, would assert that the Great Western Railway was productive of the least advantage to that town. No one would take houses in a place which had not the advantages of railway communication ; as men of business and of the various professions wanted to go to town in the morning and return home in the evening without loss of time. Such lines as the Great Western made money by their long trains, and not by such as were required for Hounslow and Barnet. The Great Western had taken away their trade and prosperity. How well he (Mr. Berkeley) remembered the gay scene which this town used to present with its thousands of horses—(Loud cheers)—quite a sight to a foreigner—when brought out for the numerous coaches which passed through the town.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) Where was their remedy? Was it with the present steam communication with the metropolis ?—(No, no.) His advice to them was, not to depend on others any longer but to trust to them selves, and sanction a railroad which would give them a sta tion in their own town.—(Cheers.) For this purpose he called their attention to a prospectus of a company which proposed to carry this out, and which he believed they would find worthy of their approbation and support. The public had already manifested their confidence therein by the way in which they had taken up the shares and paid the deposits of 10 per cent. upon the capital.—(Cheers.) The Company came not to ask for subscribers, they wanted no money ; that they had got already.—(Hear, hear.) All they asked WAS, that they, as the inhabitants of Hounslow, would give to the good work now carrying forward the sanction of their approbation.—(Cheers.) After some observations on the ad vantages which would accrue to the town by the cheapening of coals and other necessaries of life through its operation, the Hon. Chairman concluded by calling on Captain MooasoM, the engineer to the Company, who en tered into some details as to the proposed line, which was in tended to commence at Hungerford Railway-bridge, in the Strand, run along the South-Western line to Battersea, thence crossing the Thames, running through Fulham, Hammers mith, 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 contemplated applying to Parliament in the ensuing session for an Act to enable them to extend their line from Hungerford-bridge to London bridge, which would afford to this Company a terminus at London-bridge, as well as at Hungerford-market. This line would, he doubted net, be the means of restoring to Hounslow a great portion of the former prosperity, although he could not promise them all they had lost.—(Hear, hear.) It seemed perfectly astounding to him that the western road of England should have allowed itself to be cut out from a participation in the advantages of railway commu nication. But the truth was, that the people had only lately begun to appreciate the fact that railroads must be come the Queen's highway.—(Hear, hear.) They had now, however, the opportunity, without putting their hands in their pockets, of partially restoring themselves to their former position.—(Cheers.) He next proceeded to point out the great advantages which would accrue to the neighbour hood by the extended cultivation of market-gardens round Hounslow, with improved means of transit, and said he hoped to live to see the day when the grower should send his pro duce to the London markets by this railway, and in a couple of hours receive, by electric telegraph, an order for more. Mr. E. FAGG, of Bedfont, moved the first resolution, to the effect, that the condition of Hounslow and the neigh bourhood imperatively called for a removal of the existing evils, arising from the want of railway communication. Mr. PEISLET, of Hounslow, seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. FRANCIS Gasnsm, of Cranford, moved the second resolution, to the effect, that the meeting was of opinion that the London, Houn s low, and Western Railway Company, by providing a communication with the centre of the metro polis, would be highly beneficial to this locality.—(Cheers.) Mr. E. FAGG seconded the resolution. Dr. COSTELLO here claimed a hearing fer Mr. George Adam on behalf of the London and Exeter direct line. Mr. ADAM proceeded at some length with a statement on the part of the projectors of that line, but was called to order by several gentlemen who thought the object of the present meeting a specific one, and th a t th e y oug h t not to enter into the merits of different companies. The Citatemazt said it was competent to any gentleman to move an amendment to the resolution if he disapproved of it.—(Hear.) Dr. CosnerLo said, then he would move an amendment, and did so, calling upon the meeting not to pledge itself to support any particular project until it had heard the merits of the Direct Exeter and other lines. Mr. Him BY seconded the amendment. Mr. WILKINSON advocated the cause of a third project by Mr. Page, which he described as the original line, but was also called to order, the feeling of the meeting evidently being that the rivals ought to call meetings of their own, if they wished to have their merits discussed. The CHAIRMAN complained of the conduct of their opponents, and said, if they intended to oppose them, they ought to have given them a fair challenge, and this Company would After ha sovme e h a f d tt r n t o h e o r b j ec d i s t c i o u n ss t o i 0 nm theeet t amendment hem(Hea was ) nega tived, and the original resolution carried by a large madcap, amid cheers. The Chairman and a number of gentlemen present at the meeting dined together at the George Inn. SHREWSBURY, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND SOUTH STAF FORDSHIRE JUNCTION. WOLVERHAMPTON, FRiDAY.—Pursuant to public notice, a meeting .the inhabitants of this town and its vicinity took place, at one clock, in the public office, to take into consideration the proposed ndependent line between this town and Shrewsbury. Amongst those present were several of the influential ironmasters and other manufacturers of the place. Dr. Maloncas was called to the chair, and said that the words of the requisition convening the meeting had but very weakly expressed the advantages that would be conferred upon the town by the proposed line of rail. They had left out the fact that a central station for five railways was to be established and centered in Wolverhampton ; they had availed themselves of the advantages offered by making Wol verhampton the centre of rail for roads radiating to all points of the compass. Mr. HENRY CRANE, in moving the first resolution , said the time a ta n h ce e , an tts d trieitloaw fir h s e t n pla W ce o s lv f e o r r ha r m ai p lw to a n y con would vey a h m ad ong n r on a e rr Of v th ed e He then read the would not fail to meet with proper support . feel ing that he knew existed gave hi m confidence to say that this pro- Jeetfirst resolution— " That the town of Wolverhampton being of great i importance as regards its manufacturing interests In connection with the trade of the whole kingdom, it is highly essential for the conve nience and prosperity of its inhabitants that it Should possess the greatest facilities of communication with other towns and outports." The resolution was put by the Chairman, and unanimously wiled. Mr. TnomAS M. GLADSTONE read the second resolution—" That the only means by which the proposed desirable object could be ob tained was a comprehensive system of railway connexion, and In desired, and t t o P in a central part of osrldNevrott‘o muter such system efficient for securing the inhabitants w to; t i to a ti nd its neighbourhood the benefit all its inhabitants, and f r o m to opening direct oni Mr. SAMUEL %PALLE Kingdom, is vrhampton." they so greatly they t were so fairly entitled, a station located be approached with great facility by which shall diverge line of railway seconded dthe proesperity of the town of Wol mostessential f communicati on to every part and port of the United and Wolverhampton line, said Mr. THORNETCROFT, one of th scold give more importance to the Wolverhampton was then the the resolution. e Direct° resolution than of Stafford, and he was glad Mr. cl a l t acl mmrtant of a central station, and as one of th Worcester line, he could tell them that the e that l ) lr e ci t. e o t o r nds odfil n ot, th e a i : tph lf n o ek r , d l , on the meeting e t o h r C e e s w t a e n r t , H i was entitled to. o t t h t e hor i, they town in the county rs o the Oxford and to their station, and trawl on their lineY,irgiodZ,ZiapPy to corn.

Ile did not stand support of any particular line, for if he 5,4 W any other r li ti e la t , l\ 4a y i y in more likely to benefit the town of Wolverhampton, he woulaststair forth in support of' it. The Grand Junction had, with great third ness, proposed to turn over their intended line, of which the shares had gone up Ave tier cent., and all they asked in return was, that they should place three of their Directors on the list of the Directors of the pro - posed line. Mr. JOHN BAnron, an ironmaster of the town, said that he thought that the Grand Junction Company should come forward and say that they would convey iron at the rate of one penny a mile for a ton weight. Mr. Swirr, the solicitor of the Grand Junction line, said that al though he had not had any communication with them on the subject, and could make no positive promise, still he thought he might say that they would do so; but this he could say, they were carrying at t cheaper rate than any of the other competing lines, and want of oace had prevented them from entering so fully into that trade as hey could have wished; but now they had got the power to enlarge heir stations, they intended to do so. The Grand Junction Corn nmy were ready to fall in with the views of the proposed line. The ;rand Junction Company did not feel inclined to retire altogether from the field as they were the first in it, but they were willing to leave it in the hands of a local Committee. . . . The CnaluntaN then read the third resolution, that had been moved by Mr. Thorneycroft, " That as the town of Wolverhampton Is proposed to contain a terminus of several existing projected lines of railway in this neighbourhood, namely, the Grand Junction of Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton, and South Stafford Junction, and Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Junction Railways, it is of the utmost importance to its inhabitants that there should be one united station for the joint use of these four companies within the town of Wolverhampton." Seconded by Mr. HENRY Hoix, and unanimously carried. Mr. H. WaixEs rose to move the following resolution :—" That the Shrewsbury and South Staffordshire Junction Railway Company demand the cordial support of this meeting to assist, all that lies in its power, to carry the Bill through Parliament when application is made for it." The whole of the resolutions having been carried, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman. SHREWSBURY, OWESTRY, AND CHESTER JUNCTION. CnnsTER, FRIDAY ArrEalloorf.—The first general meeting of the Shareholders in this findertalrin; was held this afternoon at the offices of the Company, in Foregate street, Chester, Mr. W. Ormsby Gore, Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the chair. The report was as follows The Directors being impressed with the importance of con structing the line as rapidly as possible, entered into a contract at their first meeting after their Act was obtained, with Mr. Thomas Brassy, on terms which may be considered favourable to the Com pany, and which ensure the completion of the works, for a sum not exceeding the Parliamentary estimate. Mr. Brassy has already commenced his operations at the viaduct over the Dee, the most extensive work on the line ; he is preparing to proceed on other points ; and from his well-known energy and activity, the shareholders may rest satisfied that the line will be opened for traffic at the earliest possible period. Under these circumstances, the Di- ' rectors thought it right te make a call of 21. per share, payable on the 26th inst., and the periods for making future calls will be regu lated by the progress of the works, until half the capital has been paid up, when the powers of the Company to borrow will come into operation. The result of the investigation which the Directors have been led te make, during the progress of the Bill through Parliament, has strengthened their confidence in the undertaking. The line is imperatively called for by the wants of the country through which it passes ; in addition to the important traffic of the neighbouring mineral districts, it will always be the best outlet to the counties of Montgomery and Merioneth ; and they have no doubt that the local traffic alone will afford ample remuneration for the capital embarked. In conformity with the views of the projectors of the railway, the Directors have advertised their intention of mak ing a braneh line from a point near Oswestry to Welshpool. A survey for this purpose is nearly completed, and it is proposed, with the approbation of the shareholders, to apply to Parliament In the ensuing session for powers to carry it into effect. Feeling convinced of the importance if making a direct communication through Shrop shire and Herefordshire with the West of England, and the mining districts of South Wales, the Directors entered into an arrangement with the promoters of the Shrewsbury and Herefordshire Railway, by which they agreed to support that company, and secured a por tion of the capital for their shareholders. This railway will form a valuable adjunct ti the line. Various other schemes connected with the district have been projected, on which it might be considered premature to pronounce an opinion in this report. They have engaged the earnest attention of the Directors, and their beet exertions will be used to protect the Interests of the Company." The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the meeting on the contents of the report, which he did at some length, congratulated the shareholders upon the success that had attended their efforts to procure the Act, and upon the very small expense that attended its progress through Parliament ; and that their detailed statement of accounts would now be before them, but for a domestic calamity which had befallen one of their officers. The report having been duly proposed and seconded was unanimously adopted. It was also agreed to pay their secretary 2751. per annum, "and the two auditors 251. per annum each, and the Directors 5001. per annum. One or two resolutions having been adopted, the business of the meeting terminated ; after which a vote of thanks was proposed for the Chairman by Mr. Wardle, which was seconded and carried by acclamation, the shareholders concurring in the prefatory remarks of Mr. Wardle, who eulogised the Chairman as one to whom the com pany was deeply indebted. The CHAIRMAN having returned thanks, the meeting separated. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON. Summar, FRIDAY EVENING.—This afternoon, shortly after twelve o'clock, a meeting was held in Salisbury, at the County-hall, for the purpose of considering the advantages of the proposed line from Southampton to Manchester. Mr. EDWARD B. KELSEY, the mayor of the city, having been called to the chair, remarked —During the consideration of the committee upon the subject, it was agreed that they (the committee) were wil ling, if this line was not approved of, to support any other line which might be beneficial to the city. The present meeting, however, would decide the question. It was then moved by Mr. Buono, and seconded by Mr. Firich, " That a railway was particularly desirable for the benefi t of the borough of Salisbury." This was carried unanimously. Mr. CHARLES QUEZCI, of Salisbury, so far opposed this resolution, that he would suggest, by way of rider, that it was the opinion of the meeting that it was necessary to bring the line to Salisbury direct. Mr. GEORGE PAYNE, of Salisbury, seconded this resolution. Mr. JOHN I'V-111710N, of Salisbury, said he trusted that the citizens would have a direct Line through the city; and nothing else would benefit them. . . Mr. WALKINSHAW said there was no question but that the city of Salisbury was destined to become the centre of a great railway com munication. This was not a sectional but a national subject, and one of the utmost importance not only to the country through which it passed, but also to all the other inhabitants living in the vicinity. The Manchester and Southampton was a trunk and not a branch line. There was no question but that the Manchester and South ampton would become the "national line of railway," and in no other way, by no other project, would such a matter pass the Houses of Parliament. Through the valley of the " Test," the line would pass, independently of which the people of Salisbury had the sym pathies of those of Andover, Poole, Romsey, Cirencester, Marl borough, and Cheltenham, who all felt that there were great advan tages to be obtained front the proposition made to them by the pro jectors of the Manchester and Southampton line. After some observations from Mr. Lai= of Poole, Mr. EDWIN JAMES said, it is not right to call this project a Manchester and Southampton line; it may be a Manchester and Poole line, but it was " a mockery and delusion," as Lord Denman would say, to call it anything like a direct line.—(Hear, hear ) Some rather warm conversation followed, after which the meeting separated. TESTIMONIAL TO MR. ItunsoN, M.P.—The Committee appointed for carrying out the proposed testimonial to Mr. Hudson, announce that, in pursuance of resolutions passed at meetin 4s recently held of the Midland, York and North Midland, Newcastle and Darlington, and Great Newcastle and Berwick Companies, that they have deter mined that the best mode of offering a suitable testimonial to Mr. Hudson in acknowledgment of his services to the public and the rail way world is to raise a fund by individual subscription rather than by grants of money from the public stock of the Companies. Nearly 5,0001. has already been subscribed amongst forty of the shareholders, subscribing 1001. each, and three of them 2001., namely Sir John Low ther, Bart., M.P., Mr. Alexander Dunlop, Large, and Mr. Graham Hutchinson. _Amongst the subscribers of 1001. each are the names of Mr. Ellis, Deputy Chairman of the Midland Company ; Sir John Simpson, Mr. George and Mr. Robert Stephenson, the engineers; Sir Oswald )fozeley, Sir Isaac Morley, Mr. Byng Paget, and others. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND MIDLAND.—This Company and the North Dercyshire Union have amalgated. MANCHESTER, BUXTON, MATLOCK, AND MIDLAND.—The capital is to be increased by 600,0001.. to carry out branches and extensions. The Directors of the Eastern Counties announce that they have decided on suspending the system of season tickets until the remu nerative character of their lines will justify the great reduction of fares which the eyelets of season tickets involves. BIRKENHEAD, CHESTER, MOLD, AND LLANGELLEN.—The Committee of this line (late Manchester and Birkenhead Continuation) announce that, according to the report of their engineer, the engineering works on the whole length of 28 miles are exceedingly easy, and that the line, which has but one tunnel, may be made not only a mineral but an attractive pleasure passenger line, by extending it live miles fur ther to the Vale of Llangollen, which will render an addition of 100,0001. to the capital necessary, to be raised by an issue of ene additional ibr every five shares now held. The reduction of fares on the Manchester and Leeds has increased the number of travellers 26 per cent. during the last half-year. The charge for a late excursion from Nottingham, through Liverpool, to the Menai Straits, upwards of 500 miles, was only 14s. Passengers are now carried on the Liverpool and Manchester, between the latter plaoe and Patricroft, the first class at Id. and the second class at %d. per mile. IRISH LINES. 13ANDox Aim BANTRT.—A deputation from the Znglish Proprietary, accompanied by their Secretary, William Black, Esq., had an interview with the Directors of the Cork and Bandon Railway and the Provisional Committee of the Bantry Extension line on Monday, when arrangements of a most satisfactory nature were arrived at, and the necessary documents prepared for coming before Parliament with encouraging prospects of success. The deputation will in spect the line previous to their return to London, with a view of carrying out other objects contemplated of the most im portant character in connexion with the project. —Cork Re.. porter. CONNAITGHT.—It is proposed to open a communication from Ballinasloe to Ballina, meeting there a line to Sligo, with a branch to Tuam and Galway, completing a communi cation between Galway and all the northern lines, and afford ing to Mayo ample facilities for the transit of produce, &c.-- Mayo Constitution. KILLARNEY TO TRALEE.—The projected line of railway from Killarney to Tralee in conjunction with the Waterford and Valentia trunk road, has been staked within the last and present week, the main line, having been previously marked and staked as far as Cahirciveen. The branch line between Killarney and Tralee, as projected, will pass in a north-western direction from the main road, until it arrive to the right of Ballyhar Chapel, within about a hundred yards of the old straight road which forms the shortest pas sage between the two towns. Here it diverges a little to the north-east, when it joins the road again, and running parrallel with it for half a mile, curves off gently to the north-east, and eventually comes round the eastern base of the Tralee mountains.—Tralee Chronicle. _ _ THE GREAT MUNSTER.—Mr. Brown, one of the en gineersthwithe presentt h i this p project, h i m n b g e e e l n i n o t e c t wa t f h o e r surveyso meda yofs connected adnu d rin l g aid down the line from Listowel to Tralee. In a past number of our paper, we stated that the levels be tween the former town and Listowel were only equalled by the geological facilities presented. Mr. Brown's report of the line from Listowel to Tralee is equally favourable. In deed, it fully bears out the statement made to us not long since, by an eminent resident engineer, totally unconnected with the Great Munster Company. There will be but one cutting of any considerable extent, through a part of Bal lyrose-hill. The soil, however, is one easily worked. This line, it is very judiciously proposed, shall terminate within a few hundred yards of the basin of our canel. The depu- I:talon of the London direction, consisting, we are told of the Hon. Colonel Darner, A. Staff or d O'B r i en, M.P., Pierce Butler, M.P., and William Fitzgibbon, Esqrs., are ex pected in Ireland in about ten days.—Tralee Chronicle. MlDLAND.—Engineers are at present in this town sur veying the ground for a line of railway, through the centre of the country, commencing at Clones, in the county Mo naghan, and passing through Cavan, Granard, Longford, Ballymahon, Athlone, Bannaher, Birr, Roscrea, and Tern plemore, in the county of Tipperary, thereby joining the northern and southern lines.—Longford Journal. Mx. P. H. Tnomsihought that, if taken up by the Com pany, which had already the necessary machinery for work ing it, and where the expense of a separate management would be saved, the concern might yield a fair return upon the capital. Mr. Thorns then went over various calculations, in which he assumed that the expense would be 150,0004 and that upon this capital there would be a return of not less than 5 per cent, He moved that a special committee be ap pointed to investigate and report. Mr. HASTIE thought that Mr. Thorns had greatly over estimated the traffic—that it could not be made a paying concern ; but, at all events, the Dundee and Arbroath should not involve themselves in it. Mr. BAXTER considered that the scheme was wild and visionary. Instead of 150,0001., it would cost 300,0001., and would not return 500/. a year. On a show of hands being taken for the motion and amendment, there was a majority in favour of the former. CALEDONIAN EXTENSION. The Committee of Management, in their report just issued, relative to the progress and future prospects of the proposed extension of the Caledonian line, state that the whole line has been now carefully considered. A section has been prepared by the engineers, and, although they state that modifications may be required for the accommodation of landowners, yet the Committee have much satisfaction in announcing that the section fully verifies the expecta tion of an easy line. By far the largest portion of the line is no steeper than 1 in 300, while the steepest gradient does not exceed 1 in 100, and that only for a small portion of the whole distance. The cuttings and em b an k m ents are light, and it is not expected there will be any tunnels, nor are there any bridges or other works of an extraordinary character. Under these favour able circumstances, and having fair reason to calculate that the capital which the Committee considered it prudent to provide will suffice for the construction of some works not at first contemplated, they have directed surveys to be made of a short branch to Selkirk, and of one to Jedburgh and Hawick, for the accommodation of those towns. The Committee also intend to undertake the formation of a line from the extension line through the Lesmahagow mineral fields, to the Clydes dale Junction Railway at Hamilton. This will b e a profitable line in itself, and an important feeder of the extension; and arrangements have been made which have secured the entire support of the parties most interested in the formation of the line. Other parts of the Caledonian system are in course of being rapidly developed. Various branches, leading to the north and west, have already been, or are speedily to be brought before the public. These,by adding to the importance of the main trunk line, will necessarily increase the prosperity of the extension. But the portion of this development in which that undertaking is more immediately interested, is the Ayrshire and Caledonian Junction Railway, projected by an independent company, to connect Kilmarnock with the main line. The Committee viewing this connexion as one of the greatest importance, have resolved to give to the pro moters of it every facility and assistance in their power. The main line of the Caledonian Extension will go direct to Ayr, while the proposed junction branches off to Kilmarnock, and, by means of these, an outlet in all directions will be opened up for the vast resources of Ayrshire. That important county will thus have a direct communication from every point to the capital of Scotland by a line of railway, which will at the same time, by a short branch to the Caledonian main trunk at Abington, afford the most convenient access to Carlisle and the manufacturing dis tricts of England. The whole mineral fields will also be connected by railway with the seaports of Ayr, Troon, Irvine. Saltcoats, and .Ard rossan. Altogether-it is scarcely possible to conceive a railway system better suited to the wants of this district, and attaining, by simple means, so many important objects. The prospects of the Caledonian Extension towards the east coast are eqully flattering. The Committee had the good fortune to effect an arrange. ment for a joint station at Kelso with Mr. Hudson and the promoters of the line between Newcastle and Berwick. The complete success of that line with its branch to Kelso, is therefore another subject of congratulation. In this district, the interests of these two lines are identical, and their success will be mutual. A proposal has been made to form a communication by railway from Edinburgh to Peebles, which, in the opinion of the Committee, merits their appro bation; and they have offered t o un ite in the formati .n of a joint station at Peebles, and otherwise to co-operate with the promoters of that project in measures of mutual advan tage. These encouraging prospects, as well as a careful review of the resources of the districts to be opened up by the Caledonian Extension, fully confirm the highest expecta tions entertained by the Committee when the prospectus was issued. The important objects to be obtained, embracing the connexion of the rich agricultural and mineral county of Ayr with England, with Edinburgh, and with the seaports of the west of Scotland, the connexion of the agricultural counties of Berwick and Roxburgh, and the manufacturing districts of Galashiels and Hawick with Glasgow, and the mutual interchange of traffic between all parts of the king dom intersected by the Caledonian system, hold out the surest prospects of profit to the shareholders. Last week a splendid dinner was given to Mr. Ross, su perintendent of the Greenock Railway Station, by a number of the most influential gentlemen who are in the habit of travelling by that railway. There were about sixty gentle men present, and the Company was presided over by Sir James Campbell. AIRDRIE AND BATIIGATE.—The applications for shares in this line were 60,000, with only 12,000 for allotment. The shares have been principally divided amongst local parties engaged in mineral end agricultural produce, Scorrim WESTERN.—Notwithstanding the large capital, we hear that shares were applied for to nearly five times the requisite number, and in Glasgow alone 45,000 shares were applied for, the applicants being, for the most part, persons of the first respectability.—Seotsman. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen took a drive in a phaeton on Friday afternoon in the pleasure grounds of Osborne House, his Royal High ness Prince Albert accompanying her Majesty on horseback. Her Majesty and the Prince went to Barton Farm on Sa turday. In the afternoon her Majesty and his Royal High ness rode out in a pony carriage, the Prince driving. The juvenile Royal Family were taken airings on Saturday, but the unfavourable state of the weather yesterday .nornino• prevented their Royal Highnesses being taken their usual airings on the beach. Sir Robert and Lady Peel arrived at their residence in Whitehall Gardens on Saturday afternoon, from Drayton Manor, Staffordshire. Viscount and Viscountess Villiers also arrived in town on Saturday, from Drayton Manor. Dispatches from the Governor of the Mauritius were re ceived on Saturday at the Colonial-office. The Rev. Dr. Wesley preached the sermon yesterday in the Chapel Royal, St. James's. Prayers were read by the Rev. Dr. Vivian, and the lessons by the Rev. Mr. Repton. The anthem was " Hosanna to the son," (Gibbons). Mr. Turle presided at the organ. Viscount Hill and Lady S. Repton were among the nobility present. The Rev. J. M. S. Anderson (of the Chapel Royal, Brighton) will preach in the Chapel Royal, St. James's, on Sunday next. Of 360 geese driven by their owner last week towards Hexham market, about 300 died without reaching their destination, in consequence of their having been per mitted to drink freely at a stream leading from Fallowfield Smelt-mills to the Tyne, the water of which was probably strongly impregnated with lead. The approaching public dinner to George Hudson, Esq., 111. P., at Sunderland, will, it is intended, take place in a temporary building that will be erected for that purpose, the estimated cost of which has been already more than pro vided by subscription. It will be the most distinguished banquet that has ever taken place in this part of the king dom.—Durham Advertiser. GOATS VERSUS Docs.—Permission has 1 - een given by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, that persons with children's carriages, drawn by goats, may ply in St. James's -park. There is now a regular stand of them opposite the Duke of York's column, many of whom are tastefully decorated, and generally the new branch of locomotion appears well patronised. THE HARVEST IN IRELAND.—We are DOW in a position, from accurate information, to form an opinion of the harvest. First, with respect to wheat—that crop, which caused such well-grounded apprehensions three or four weeks ago, has been preserved by the fine autumnal weather. The injury from smut and other causes is much less than had been supposed, and generally speaking, the yield will be con siderably more than an average and the quality good. In many instances, especially on poor lands, where the corn was lodged by the rain, and smut supervened, the g ra i n is damaged and shrivelled in appearance. But taken altogether, the crop is turning out well. We know a very large farm in Tipperary, where the produce, prime in quality, averages nearly twenty barrels to the acre. This, however, is a pecu liar case; but, looking to alt the reports, we consider the wheat crop as likely to prove very satisfactory. Of oats we hear very few complaints, and we have arrived at the conclu sion that the , - ;rop is an abundant one, and the quality very fine. An ext taA. armer in Meath has assured us th a t oat- fields not . at all the best circumstanced in that county are yielding sixteen barrels to the acre. In regard to potatoes, we fear that the disease now so much spoken of prevails to a considerable extent, although much more limited than in England, so far as has yet been ascertained. But a month must elapse before the general digging of potatoes will enable the farmer to estimate the amount of damage. The accounts are very conflicting : some counties—for in stance, Meath and Tipperary—are represented as unaffected by the disease. We trust that such will prove to be the case. We have ascertained that considerable injury has been suffered in some of the districts around Dublin. We know the case of one farmer whose potatoes (six acres) have failed altogether. On being dug out they were unfit for anything. In the district of Fingal, celebrated for its fine crop of po tatoes, the disease has been severely felt, although its opera tion has been partial. In some fields so offensive is the efflu vium that the country people unwillingly undertake the la bour of digging out. The disease, we have heard, is begin ning to appear about Celbridge and other places in that direction. Looking to accounts from Cork, Wexford, and other places, we fear that a considerable portion of the po tato crop will be lost, if we can depend on the accuracy of the accounts that reach us. On the other hand, the extent of this crop and the yield are unusually abundant. The Dublin market is supplied with very fine potatoes at a price much lower than generally occurs at this season. There are no complaints from the provincial markets, either as to scarcity or price; and, upon the whole, we are disposed to believe that a full average crop of sound potatoes will be available for home consumption, even if we shonld export some to England and the Netherlands.—Dublin Evening Post. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—A CURE FOR ALL BILIOUS ComrLairrTs BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS..-- A destructive blue pill composed of calomel, taken at night, and followed by a drastic black draught the next morning, seems to be the favourite re medy for bilious complaints, when poison in fmall quantities is scarcely less injurious. For all liver, stomach, and bilious com plaints, let the patient take Holloway's admirable pills, a pure herbal preparation, and for a time drink no wine, beer, or spirits, nor eat of fruits or vegetables. By this course he will not only effectually cure himself, but will also feel himself younger and better in health than for years before.

On Monday a special meeting of the Proprietors of this Company was held in the Town Hall at Dundee, M r . Wil liam Thorns, Dean of Guild, •ne of the Directors, in the chair, to receive a requisition for the formation of a branch from Broughly Ferry to Forfar. There was a numerous attendance. _ The report of the Directors stated that after considering the subject fully, and having a report by a deputation from their number before them, they had come to the determina tion that it was inexpedient for the Dundee and Arbroath to undertake the proposed extension. ..... Mr. ARCHIBALD HASTIE, M.P., said he had expected that some of the requisitionists would have have come forward, and have stated the grounds on which they subscribed to the requisition, and moved the approval of the report, which w as seconded by Mr. D. BAXTER. Mr. GEORGE KINLOCH, thought the Directors had come to a wise decision in rejecting it. But he would have liked to know what led the Directors to that conclusion. At the same time he thought it very likely that such a line would be taken up in these days of railway speculation, but still he considered that the Dundee and Arbroath Company should stick to the good concern which they already had by the hand, and endeavour to increase their revenue by lowering the fares and otherwise promoting traffic on their line. Lord KINNAIRD differed in opinion from the gentlemen who had already spoken.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent of the London Fire Establishment, attended before Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes to offer an explanation respecting a complaint which had been made on the preceding day by two men that they had worked at the engines at the fire in William-street, and had been refused the customary donation.—The alderman, having taken their declaration that they were so employed, signed a recommendation to the superintendent that they should receive some reward for their exertions. Mr. Braidwood said he had refused payment because more men had been previously paid than could really have worked at it, at least continuously for the space of time that was con sidered to entitle them to compensation. The practice was to send a man round to each engine after it had heel worked for a couple of hours, and take down the names of the persons who had been working it, but on the present occasion the hands were dispered before the names were taken, through the burning turpentine flowing towards it and setting fire to the engine. Only twenty-eight men could work at one time at this en gine, and he had paid thirty-four claimants before he rejected the two who applied to the alderman. He had paid 301. 7s. 6d. to the strangers who assisted the firemen in working the engines on land, and 19/. t o t h ose w h o worked the floating engines. Besides this he paid nine men 2s. N. each for saving the persons who jumped overboard, and 23/. for refreshments supplied to the men at the engines, the po licemen, and the firemen. He had paid away 54/. in cash to the three hundred and ninety-one strangers who assisted the forty-six regular firemen in attendance on this calamitous occasion. The total sum paid by him for assistance to strangers was 80/. 78.2 d. _ . Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES desired that the men should be called in, if they were in the outer room, that they might hear the explanation. They were not in attendance. Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES said there could be no complaint of want of liberality on the part of the fire esta blishment, and he must leave the matter to the discretion of Mr. Braidwood. EFFECTS OF UNEXPECTED FORTUNE.—Edward Riley, living with his family in Iladlow-street, Burton-crescent having been proved next of kin to Major-General Riley, who re cently died at Madras, leaving property to the amount of 50,0001., to the whole of which he has become entitled, has, within the last few days, amused the neighbourhood by the following ex traordinary freaks. From having been but a workmam in the dust yard in Maiden-lane, he has now become a man of independence. Yesterday he called in his cab upon Mr. Thornhill, tailor, of Sey mour -street, and taking him to the dust-yard, desired him to mea sure the whole of the men in the yard for a suit of clothes, which being accomplished, he ordered them to go to Mr. Tendan, the boot maker, where they were all served. On Sunday he ordered Mr. Shepherd to supply each of them with a joint of meat. Riley has taken a house in Argyle-square, and upon entering it he purposes giving a dinner to all the dustmen in London, and illuminating the front of his house. I DO THINK AND I DON'T THINK.

PUBLIC DEPARTMENTS.--A Parliamentary paper has just been printed, showing the number of persons on the redundant list of the several public departments at the com mencement of last year, and the number that remained at the close of the year. It appears that the number on the redun dant list, at the commencement of the year, was 68, of which 12 had in the year either died or become incapable of service; 9 of the aggregate re-entered the service during the year, making, at the close of the year, a diminution of 21 in the year, leaving, at the close, only 47 persons on the redundant list. There were as many as 280 persons on the redundant list at the close of the year 1836.

Though adulteration has been prohibited by several Acts of Parliament, it is a species of manu facturing skill which improves whatever it is employed upon. It turns the humble cabbage-leaf into the whole some cheroot, and converts the coculus Indicue, the quassia, the liquorice, into porter, or some other equally popular beverage. Sand is elevi.ted into sugar ; sloe leaves are exalted into tea ; and alum takes its place bs the side of flour as an ingredient in the great staff of all our existences. The statutes against adulteration, being regarde I as a check on the progress of science, an usually disregarded by that great and glorious character, the British merchant. It is, perhaps, a patriotic pre ference for the productions of his native land, which induces the English cigar-dealer to seek the Savoy of Great Britain rather than the weed of Bengal ; and the Same feeling no doubt actuates the tea-merchant when he looks for a profit—sloe and sure—from the suburban hedges. ADVOCATE, from the Latin words ad, to, a n d vocare, to call ; because an advocate is at the call of any one who needs his s ervices. The early Rom an a d vocates professed to plead gratuitously, but some of th em wen soon detected in taki n g fees indirectly, by making no charge, but "leaving it to the generosi ty " of their em ployers. Clients were "expected 'to give something to the advocate, and we re ro doubt cont idered to have acted shabbily if they shi▪ rked it ; so that at last a regu lar charge was made, and some of the Roman barri.ter used to receive so much a head from as many as chose to take shares in these joi▪ nt-stock advocates. At length the gentlemen of the Roman long-I:oho became so greedy, chat it was found necessary to limit their fees, the maxi mum of which was fixed at ten thousand sestertii, which the classical student may at his le isure reduce to six an l eightpences. The advocates were paid generally in asses, or brass, and they paid t hose asses their clients usual!) , in the same metal. The fees were always p a y a bl e b e f ore the cause was pleaded ; and it was a rule that if the ad vocate died, or did not, or could not, or would not, attend to his duties, the sum he had rec e i ve d was i n no case to be given back again. "No money returned" was the motto of the Roman as well as of the English barrister. AGENT, is a-gent acting for another gent, and is derived from the Latin word agens, doing, because at, agent is often doing his principal. AGRARIAN LAWS related to the public lands ; and Spurius Cassius, who was called spurious to distinguish h.iimenfdroum.ho proposed ergenuine Cassius, was the first poor man's friend posed an agrarian law ; for which piece of patriotism he was tried, condemned, and put to death in no time. Subsequently, Sempronius Gracchus, wh o was the Lord Ashley of his day, carried an agrarian law founded on the small allotment system ; and he was murdered in an election row, as a reward for his good intentions. His brother, Caius Gracchus, who wished to see the poor settled on their land, got settled himself, in a shindy, when putting up for the tribuneship. Other Roman radicals passed agrarian laws, but Radicalism was so unfashionable that its adherents got assassinated very rapidly. The professed object of the agrarian law was to divide the public land among the poor, so that every Roman should grow his own cabbage, as the people of Cos reared their own lettuces. AGRICULTURE, SOCIETIES FOR THE PROMOTION OF. — The head of these Institutions is the Agricultural Asso ciation of England, whose chief objects are to keep science moving, and to bring animals to a dead stand• still by their excessive fatness. There are also provincial societes, some of which carry round the country a quan tity of over-sized beasts to make a show of them, on the same principle as Wombwell's travelling menagerie. Megatherium bullocks, and sheep that look like moving mountains of wool, are consequently collected into the shape of an agricultural annual. AIDS having been all abolished, except lemon-ade and orange-ade, which do not savour of politics, we have torn up three sheets cf antiquarian lore, two pages of enthusiasm, one of constitutional learning, and six lines of vehement invective, which we had prepared on this subject. The MS. will lie for inspection for one week at our butterman's, after which it will be allotted in shares to his various customers. ALDERMEN.—This word, after being macadamised with the sledge-hammer of Saxon research, is knocked into ealdorman, then into ealdor, th e n into eald, and finally i n t o o ld- man ; so t h at alderman and jolly old cock, wer e i n S axon t i mes synon y m ous.

He congratulated the vestry on the impres sion that had been made upon the Commissioners by the arguments of the deputation, and thought there was very little doubt their wishes would be acceded to. He concluded by moving a vote of thanks to the Rev. Dr. Spry, the rector, for having taken the trouble to come up from Canterbury to join the deputation at much personal inconvenience. The motion having been seconded, was carried unanimously. Mr. Ridgway then gave notice that he should move, on the fol lowing Saturday, for a return of the expense of the police force employed in the Christ Church district of the parish, and described the police as most inefficient and neglectful of their duties; they were employed to protect the public and prevent crime, as well as to apprehend criminals. It was their duty to see that the law was not infringed in the public througbfares, and to prevent any nuisance from being com mitted to the annoyance of the public, instead of which, they were lounging about the streets, or courting servant maids, supposing that they were never to interfere unless called upon by persons who had suffered auy injury.
