John Huish, Esq., This Company has been formed for the purpose of making a rail way between Derby and Crewe through the Potteries, thus com pleting the chain of communication by an almost direct line between the Midland and Eastern Counties and the Potteries, Liverpool and Ireland. The proposed line is intended to leave Derby on the south, passing near to Etwall and crossing the Dove at Tutbury, to continue through the valley of that river to ITttoxeter ; it will then proceed by the intervening valleys, by Longton and Lane End to Stoke in the heart of the Potteries, and thence to Crewe ; the last-link (from Stoke to Crewe) is intended to he supplied by the Grand Junction Potteries Branch.—The line will thus traverse a district at present totally without railway accommodation, and (except far a portion of it) not included in any other project. A preliminary view has been taken, and the line presents no engineering difficulties of importance. The line is proposed to be taken in such a direction as to avoid objections by gentlemen having residences near it, and the land owners generally. The saving of distances between the places proposed to be thus connected will be as follows : Length of By Derby Saving present route. and Crewe. Miles.

An arrangement has been with the Grand Junction Com pany, whereby their friendly co-operation has been secured, and they have agreed to contribute one-third of the required capital. One-half of the required number of shares will be reserved for landowners and parties locally interested, and the remainder (which the Committee take this opportunity of observing, will necessarily be of very limited amount) will be allotted to parties giving unexcep tionable references, and the Provisional Committee announce that the number of shares alloted to any member of their body shall in no case exceed two hundred. Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at 4/. per sent. per annum on all deposits and calls, from time of payment until the opening of the line. . _ A pplications for Shares may be made in the subjoined form, to the Solicitors, and Mr. Eyre, and to Messrs.

TREAT MEDITERRANEAN AND ADRIATIC JUNCTION RAILWAY. The Provisional Directors of this Company have great pleasnre in informing their Shareholders that arrangements have been effected with the AUSTRIAN and SARDINIAN RAILWAY COMPANY, (the object of which was the formation of a railway from Genoa to Milan, forming a portion of the line intended to be made by the Great Mediterranean and Adriatic Junction Railway Company), by which the Austrian and Sardinian Railway Company is merged and amalgamated on terms highly advantageous to this Company. By order of the Board, J. RATHBONE, Secretary. 4, Coleman-street, May 20, 1845. AUSTRIAN and SARDINIAN RAILWAY COMPANY.—The Dii ectors of the Austrian and Sardinian Railway Company from Milan to Genoa, have much pleasure in announcing to their Share holders that an arrangement has been effected with the Directors of the Great Mediterranean and Adriatic Junction Railway Company, whereby the two Companies are amalgamated. Every Shareholder 'in the Austrian - and Sardinian Railway Com pany may exchange his Scrip, on which a deposit of five shillings per share has been paid, for share receipts of the Great Mediterranean and Adriatic Junction Railway Company, in the following propor tions, at the election of the Scripholder —viz., for every share in the Austrian and Sardinian Railway Company, one share in the Great Mediterranean and Adriatic Junction Railway Company, by payment of fifteen shillings, the difference of the deposit in the two Companies, or one share in the Great Mediterranean and Adriatic Junction for every four shares in the Austrian and Sardinian Railway Company.

This line will commence near the city of Oporto, and continuing through Lamego, will traverse the very heart of the great Wine dis trict of Portugal to Torre de Mencervo, within a few miles of the Spanish frontier. The manifest advantages of this line render comment almost un necessary. Preliminary surveys have established the fact that there are no engineering difficulties of importance to overcome, and the traffic of the country is even now so great, that no reasonable doubt can exist as to the lucrative nature of this investment. The improved state of affairs in the Peninsula will eventually ensure the extension of this line to the ancient and populous city of Sala manca, and the very heart of Spain. It is difficult to estimate the beneficial results of the completion of such a line. An immense dis trict of the most fertile country in Europe will be brought into imme diate contiguity with the sea-coast, and thence, by consequence, with England and all the maritime nations of the world. The Provisional Committee avail themselves of the earliest possible opportunity to apprise the public that such legal measares will be adopted, as must afford the Subscribers to this Company ample pro tection. In consequence of the negotiation now pending, the Prospectuses are unavoidably delayed a few days.

CHIN G' S WORM-DESTROYING LO ZENGES have for Fifty Years held a distinguished reputa tion, and are still and increasingly patronised by the highest names in rank, respectability, and science, from a personal knowledge of their utility In their own families. It is a fact established by the annual Bills of Mortality, that one half of the children horn are cut off before attaining Seven years of age, and the fruitful source of this mortality Is found to exist in that foul state of the Stomach and Bowels which produoes the generation of Worms. The symptoms usually are loss of appetite, a paleness of colour of the face, emaciated and irregular state of the bowels, attended with violent pain. They bring on convulsions ; they affect the growth of the body; and they prove fatal by ending in a consumption or decay. As the certain restorer of infantine health, in this critical state, " Ching's Worm-Destroying Lozenges" have leng been known and esteemed : mild and safe in their operation, suited to every stage of this period of life, and infallible in their effect, their excellence can be gratefully testified to by many fond and anxious mothers who have successfully bad recourse to them. _ _ As an Opening Medicine in spring and summer, for Adults as well as for Children, and for foulness of the Stomach and Bowels, and Convulsions, although 'Worms may not exist, it is allowed to be supe rior to every other. CHING'S WORM-DESTROYING LOZENGES are peenllerly adapted and recommended for Exportation to the EAST are t WEST INDIES, And warm climates generally, as their virtue remains un impaired by time.

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT has of late taken great interest in the breeding of the Llama, from which a very fine wool is obtained. The cloth made of this is of a peculiarly soft and agreeable texture, and as some curiosity has been raised by the announcement of the registry of a coat under the new Act, by Messrs. NICOLL, of Regent-street, Tailors to the Court, it may be marked that such was made of this material. The coat itself is termed the REGISTERED PALETOT, and in its appearance there is nothing very singular beyond a very gentlemanly neatness and an absence of all unsightly vulgarity. Upon being submitted at Court, it met with high approbation."— Morning Post, April 19. " This garment is so great an imrove ment on the old wrap-rascal, that its general acoption by men of taste is inevitable."—The Sun, April 30. "Amongst the registration of designs, according to the new Act, that of a coat is to be found. The notions of securing the particular substance and cut of a coat is cer tainly a new one, but it speaks well for the working of an Act which thus secures the profits of a good judgment and well directed ingenuity to those to whom alone it is due."—The Tines, April 4. Registered Paletot, two guineas. _ _ 114, itegota-street, London, four doors north of Quadrant. GOVERNMENT PROTECTION, under 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65, for three years, obtained by X. J. and D. NICOLL, COURT TAILORS, 114, Regent-street, London, for their new introduction, the REGISTERED PALETOT, which is a summer overcoat, light in weight, embracing the convenience and comfort of the wrapper of tweed and its moderate price, without its inelegant and universally admitted common appearance. • The material is of a peculiar softness, made expressly of the finest Llama wool, and in its fashion is neither trop neglige ni trop habille, but whilst showing to advantage the proportions of the figure, it can not encumber free movement, worn riding or walking; it will also, from the neatness of its form, admit its being used as a light Frock Coat—a desirable advantage in our warmest summer months, or abroad, where heat Is found oppressive. H. J. and D. Nicoll, sensi tive is the importance of that vade mecum—a moderate light over coat—in a climate so changeable as that of Great Britain, would not submit to the public the Registered Paletot till themsetves satisfied of its being perfect, and that when used as a pardessus, riding or walking, or as summer frock, the above firm might pledge a reputation, which, gained by matured skill and honoured by royal patronage, is of some standing. This they can do with safety; as their new introduction, they respectiblly submit, will not compromise that characteristic of an English gentleman, the unassumed neatness of his attire. As a wide extended sale is sought, the very moderate price of Two Guineas is fixed. Respectable firms will alone be treated with relative to an agency for the sale of the Registered Paletot, to whom alone a discount can be allowed. There being a large and increasing demand, many are kept ready in the extensive warerooms, 114, Beratit-street, tVar doors north of qttadrout, CAUTION TO CONSUMERS. — DRY GAS METERS. DEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully stood the tests six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use, they have been adopted by the official authorities of the Houses of Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office, Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other Club-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many other large establishments. Upwards of 2 0,000,000 cubic feet of gas have passed through some of these meters without regula tion or repair, and which are still working to the entire satisfaction of the gas company and consumers. All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived front the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im- ' perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his meters.

Where'er we look, above, beneath, around, Some most surprising " wonder" may be found. Look at those vessels which, in triumph, ride In opposition both to wind and tide. Look at those carriages whose secret force Needs not the efforts of the noble horse ; These, with a thousand other " wonders," say That " Time is working wonders" ev'ry day. Another " wonder" brought about by Time Claims special mention in this humble rhyme. MOSES and SON'S huge warehouse is display'd— A mighty " wonder" in the sphere of trade. Was there a house, a few short years ago, Like MOSES' celebrated Dress Mart? No. But " Time works wonders" in the works of art, And hence that noble " wonder"—MOSES' Mart. The hand of Time will still work "wonders"—Yes , " Wonders" will still be brought about in dress. Ind all will own, while thus each day discloses That " Time works w on d ers " at t h e house of MOSES.!

Admiral Sir John West struck his flag on board the Cale donia, at Devonport, on Thursday evening last, and pro ceeded to London, on leave of absence, for 14 days, Sir Samuel Pym, the Admiral Superintendent of the dockyard, at that port, officiating in his absence. The Melampus was paid advance of wages at Devonport, on the 17th instant, and sailed the following morning for South America. Lord Calcraft visited the dockyard at Devonport, on Sa turday last, after which his Lordship reviewed the troops at Mount Wise. The Vesuvius's (steam• sloop) defects, which has been the means of detaining Lord Calcraft, will be made good by this evening (Tuesday), and will sail to-morrow morning, for America. Her Majesty's steam-vessel Dee will sail from the Cove of Cork, for Liverpool, on the 21st instant, with the depot of the 90th Light Infantry Regiment on board, under the com mand of Major Eyles.

STRICKLAND, THE ACTOR.—We regret to state that this excellent performer died on Sunday evening, about eleven, after an illness of about a week. He has left a widow, but no children. Thus has been cut off in the . prime of life (his age was only 43) one of the few r e• mauling ornaments of the British stage. Strickland was the legitimate successor of Dowton and Fawcett, and his loss at the present moment will be felt most severely. There is no actor on the boards who can at all supply his place. It is now about ten years since Strickland first came to town. He made his first appearance before a London audience at the Strand Theatre during the management of Hammond. He was soon afterwards engaged by Braham for the St. James's, and when that theatre closed his services were secured by Mr. Webster for the Haymarket, where he has remained ever since, and where we had hoped for years to come to have en joyed the delight which we always derived from witnessing his artistical efforts. But " Alas, poor Yorick." An attack of inflammation of the lungs, which defied the utmost efforts of medical skill, has, in one short week, removed him from the stage of life, and his friends are left to regret his loss, which they feel to be irreparable. SINGULAR OCCURRENCB. — During the thunder storm on Saturday last a remarkable circumstance occurred to two sisters, daughters of a professional gentleman of this city. One of them was at a house in Bristol when the lightning entered the drawing-room in which she was sitting, and struck her on the head, causing a lump to rise upon it almost instantaneously, de priving her of the sight of the left eye for a considerable tine, and drawing the mouth aside, as if she bad been attacked by paralysis. We are happy to learn, that with the exception of a degree of numbness on the left side, she has recovered from the effects of the injury. Her sister was at a friend's house, about five miles from this city, and at nearly the same period at which the above occurrence took place, the lightning entered the room in which she and the family were at dinner, the paper was torn from the walls, part of the skirting.boards also torn away, and a gun which was in the room (happily charged with powder only) exploded; but most providentially none of the partl sustained any personal injury.—. Bristol Journal. COLOSSEUM. —The Evening Exhibition will be OPENED on MONDAY NEXT, with an entirely New and extraordinary Panorama of LONDON by NIGHT, as seen from the top of St. Paul's on a clear moonlight evening, with various effects of moving fleecy clouds, twinkling stars, myriads of lights, ikc., &c. This magnificent Work of Art is erected in front of the day picture after that exhibition is closed. Such a colossal undertaking perhaps was never before contemplated. As it is impossible in an advertise ment to enter into detail, the proprietor will only quote the sentiments of a most distinguished party at a private view— .

The Lord Mayor, however, refused to interfere. John Branch, Edward Cork, and Ebenezer Wells, three young men, varying from 18 to 20ye,ars of age, were charged before Mr. Clive, at Wandsworth. with wilfully setting fire to and destroying the furze oa Wimbledon Common. The prisoners, who denied the charge, were remanded until Thursday.

The novelty of a day's performance by the Histrionics oc curred on Monday at the St. James's Theatre. in favour of the funds of the Distressed Needlewomen's Society. Ths bill consisted of Charles the Second, The Spita?fields'ireave; and Bonitastes Furioso; in the course of the performances the French song of " Le Postilion de M'ame Ablon," was sung by Mr. Birton, in whose features many must have re cognized those of a popular author. The Master and Fellows of Trinity College, Cambridge, have appointed the Rev. J. W. Blokesley, M.A., Fellow and Tutor of that Society, to the vicarage of Ware. The new incumbent is opposed to the innovating spirit which has kept this parish in a ferment during the last two years. Several of the master sawyers of Glasgow and neighbour hood have agreed to the increase of wages asked by their workmen, and a number of the men have again resumed their wonted employment. A rehearsal of the fifth concert of ancient music took place on Monday morning, preparatory to the performance to— morrow, which will be under the direction of the Duke of Wellington, who has made a very fine selection of sterling com positions.

Brambilla, Staudigl, Hawkins Machin, and Herr Pisckek: the latter made a very great im, pression at the rehearsal, in two solos, and in a duet from Fidelio, with Staudigl. The only director present was the Earl of Cawdor, but there was a very numerous assemblage of the subscribers. - - NATIONAL TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.—The friends of temperance, constituting the " National Society," held their anni. versary meeting at Exeter.hall on Monday. The body of the room, as well as the platform, was well filled, the members of the Society of Friends forming a considerable proportion of the audi. tory. The chair was taken shortly after six o'clock by Mr. S. Howley, during the unavoidable absence of Mi. J. J. Gurney, who arrived and occupied that post at a later period of the meeting. The Secretary, Mr. Compton, read a number of letters from various well-known advocates of temperance who were unable to attend, and then submitted the third annual report of the Society, in which was introduced a letter from Father Mathew, addressed to the Secretary, and reporting the progress of the cause in Ireland. In reference to the exertions recently made to extricate him from his embarrassment, he wrote, " Whilst I feel myself overwhelmed with the weight of your bounty, I am perfectly convinced that it is not on me, but in the sacred cause of temperance, that this muni. Scent donation has been bestowed. Circumstances to which it is unnecessary to allude, have rendered the subscriptions in Ireland comparatively small, and for the sum of 5,300/. I am principally indebted to the high.minded generous people of England." Father Mathew concluded his letter by the following allusion to his affairs :—" Having some time since, by the sacrifice of per. sonal and family property, by insurances and other securities, raised money to pay the medal manufacturers (my only creditors), the above sum will enable me to extricate myself from all my em barrassments, and place myself in the same position in which I stood before I entered on the temperance mission." The report presented a variety of statistics showing the active labours of the temperance missionaries, but the accounts exhibited a small balance against the society. The meeting was addressed at length by Mr. Buckingham, Mr. S. C. Hall, Rev. Jabez Burns, Mr. Collins, Mr. Heyworth, Dr. Oxley, Mr. H. Vincent (who was received with more than ordinary enthusiasm), Mr. J. Collings, of Philadelphia, Mr. Mackerrow, Mr. Livesey, Mr. Teare, Mr. Logan, &c. The resolutions were of the usual character, expressing confidence in the proceedings of the national as well as the provincial mods. tions, thanks to God for the success attending their exertions, and proposing measures to insure accurate returns from all parts uf the globe of the real progress of teetotalism through the medium of agents. After the passing of the first resolution, a collection was made in the room in a way rendering evasion almost impossible. On a signal being given from the chair, the collectors sprang up from their seats in all parts of the hall, and in less than Igen m inutes person present had at least brougham,* the exchequer.

THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—A writer in .the Art Union has drawn attention to a number of asserted heraldic blunders which appear on the exterior of the new Houses of Par. liament. He states that many of the shields are charged with de vices copied from coins of various Sovereigns, which were never intended to represent arms, and that it would be as reasonable to take St. George and the Dragon for the arms of George IV. as to adopt those devices for the arms of the monarch on whose coinage they appear. He points out, too, amongst other objections, that supporters have been assigned to every Sovereign, beginning with the Conqueror, though it is known that supporters were not used by the Kings of England till the reign of Richard 11. , 300 years after the Conquest.

BOULOGNE, MAY 18.—An alarm took place at the English chapel here, during the celebration of Divine service, which occasioned some personal injury, and was very near causing loss of life. While the minister was preaching, the cord of one of the sashes gave way, and the lead weight made a noise which gave rise to an impression that the gallery was falling. A great number of persons rushed for the door, amid screams from the women and children, and some twenty or thirty were thrown down and tram pled upon. Several ladies and children were injured, though not seriously, in the struggles upon the floor; sonic fainted, and wee taken to neighbouring houses; and the sermon was abruptl urinated.. The alarm, indeed, was so general that one of the • men present took refuge under the pulpit. . WEXFORD, WATERFORD, and VAL EN TIA RAILWAY. 33, Old Jewry, London, May 19, 1845.
