From Limerick the Main Line runs to to n`, at which place it throws off a branch to the populous and ti vh ig towns of itathkeale and N ewcas tle ; from Adare, the Trunk tow ne take, ill -cure through a rich and productive country to the irt of A to ueid +Menton, Shanagolden, Loughill, Win and Tarbert, where Ofr„ ng the Lower Shannon, it will receive the traffic from the town "ttin,urush, and a large section of the County Clare, at the same , time tet, -41 g for over twenty miles through the Great Munster Coal Dis t,'-',, described by the Railway Commissioners as the largest in the •"led Kin d T bert the Line proceeds along a favour able ~,,,, g om. FromTarbert lee w r'antrY through the town of Listowel close to Ballylongford, -.ownsandes and Ardfert to the town of Tralee. The....: districts traversed are perhaps the easiest in Ireland for the rmatron of a Rilwa —the Line is nearly level throughout—there e. e 4Engineerin difgeulties no Tunnel nor any excavations or em it ents of magnitude. g ' m. has been determined to follow, in some degree, the system now h_--4erally Pursue, of constructing, In the first instance, but a single -...e. Providing Lad Bridges, &c., for a double line. Illelt Is considered that this Plan may be adopted with advantage on „Inebranch f rom Mare to Newcastle, and on the portion of the main fro m Adare to Tarbert and Tralee ; but the entire of the re aining Portions of the line are to be double. The engineers have crefore estimated the entire cost, including contingencies of every 'qt. at 1,100,00/. 4, t Vbether this 1 ne be considered as a great artery of communica- P. 74 from the south to the north of Ireland, as a certain means of Promoting the great agricultural and commercial resources of the romoting or as a powerful agent in developing the great mineral W ealth of the district through which it passes, in any of these con iderations it presents so many obvious advantages that it cannot fail i n securing the anxious support of all who feel intere s ted i n th e pros - Perity of Ireland. The commercial advantages attending the connexion of the Middle sml Lower Shannon by railway, through Limerick to Tarbert, must ee so obvious as to need no remark, and the course which has been chosen through the populous towns of Nenagh to Dublin, passes from Limerick for a distance of eight miles along the course of the Sbannoa, in which short space the falls of that noble river exceed eighty feet, presenting a constant water power equivalent to 36,000 horses. It May be fairly expected that the formatio n o f thi s ra i lway along such great source of power, will be the means of inducing capitalists to avail of its great advantages by establishing extensive manufactories in Its vicinity. Among the many advantages attending the connexion of the Middle a nd Lower Shannon by Railway through Limerick to Tarbert, it may ~..b e mentioned that the great improvements at present in progress on 1 - " e l 7 PPer and Middle Shannon will be thus at once made available 0 . the City of Limerick, and to the Towns in the Counties of Clare, 44 , menek, and Kerry, for all commercial purposes. And the exten !rm of the Main Lino to Tarbert will bring the superior roadsteads o~Um the Lower Shannon at Foyns, Kilrush, &c., &c., in close con ~with the Cities of Lime r i c k an d D u bli n, an d nearly all parts Ireland. F 4 ,111 13 Line must also create new and extensive markets for the Pras e "` Quarries and Marble Works of Killaloe, which, even in their ot comparatively circumscribed position and expensive modes „p ne c fi l i t ji n i s i r t e , s P ia r t od s m uc a e .. upwards of 10,000 tons annually.

This estate is contiguous to th Graigola and Bryndorway Collieries, and contains the same seams of Coal which have been used for many years by the East India Com pany, the Government, and at present by some Waterworks and large Brewery establishments. The ground is well proved by exten sive workings in adjoining collieries. The property is believed to he free from faults, and the workings may be opened in an efficient manner, at a moderate outlay. The Coal can be produced at a vary low cost, and the transit to the Port will be easy. The consumption of this description of Coals, as will be , seen by the City Annual Re turns, has greatly increased of late. For particulars apply to Mr. Edward Strick.

SlR,—Oblige me by the insertion in your widely cir culated journal of a comparative statement of the cost of goods transmitted to Sheffield through the ports of Hull and Great Grimsby. The comparative advantage Grimsby has over Hull as to goods for Sheffield, applies equally to goods for Chesterfield, Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Burton-on-Trent, Birmingham, the Potteries, Cheshire, &c. Grimsby is also much better situated than Hull for the Manchester trade, although probably not to so great an extent as the towns previously mentioned. Grimsby has also a further advantage over Hull, it is thirty miles nearer the sea, the pilotage is less than to Hull, and ballast may be had at less than half the cost. These advantages will after a while be appreciated by shipowners, and induce them to accept of a less rate of freights for their vessels to discharge in Grimsby, than they will for them to discharge in Hull. What applies to imports applies equally to exports. April 3, 1845. VERITAS. Comparative Statement of Charges on Goods imported through the Ports of Hull and Great Grimsby: HULL. GREAT GRIMSBY. ..

THE DRURY-LANE THEATRICAL FUND DINNER. —The anniversary festival of this Institution was held yes terday evening, at the Freemasons' Tavern, under the presi dency of the Duke of Cambridge, whose careful attention to the interests of this charity has been renewed during many years. Above 200 gentlemen sat down to dinner, which re flected much credit on the management of the house. The appearance of the hall was much enhanced by a very bril liant assemblage of ladies, who thronged both galleries, and occupied a considerable space on each side of the entrance. On the removal of the cloth, Non nobis, Damine, was very effectively chanted. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, Sir I. L. Goldsmid proposed the health of the illus trious Chairman, who, after returning thanks, urged on the notice of the assembled company the claims of the Theatrical Fund, as affording a benevolent aid to the misfortunes of those in whom the public took much interest, and to whom they ware Indebted for many happy moments of relaxation. Mr. Harley, as the official representative of the charity, re turned thanks in a speech replete with appropriate expres sions of gratitude for past support, and earnest appeals for renewed favour. He feelingly described the benefits deriv able from this source, which had been this year extended to four decayed subscribers, who were, from their neces sities, added to the previous list of recipients. He con cluded by a fervent appeal for aid, to counterbalance the ex cess of expenditure which had arisen during the past year, in consequence of, the additional claims. This speech was received with much applause, and was not without effect upon the auditory ; for, after a few more routine toasts, a list of subscriptions was read, containing the names of her Ma jesty the Queen, 105/. ; the Duke of Cambridge, 20/. ; the Duke of Devonshire, 261. ss. ; the Duke of Bedford, 501 ; the Duke of Beaufort, 201. ; the Marquis of Lansdowne, 10/. ; the Marquis of Normanby, 51. ; the Duke of St. Alban's, 5/. ; Lord Francis Egerton, 10/. ; Lord W. Russell, 5/. ; Miss Burdett Coutts, 50/.; Alderman Johnson, 101. 10s.; Sir I. L. Goldsmid, 10/. 10s. ; Lady Goldsmid, 5/. ss. ; Mr. Charles Kean, 20/., &c. The first list of subscriptions amounted to 7304 exclusive of a legacy of 5001. by the late Mr. Edward Walpole,. and other subscriptions were expected to be added during the evening. The Chairman was supported by Sir R. Paul Joddrell, Sir I. L. Goldsmid, Hon, Mr. Mildmay, Mr. Alderman Johnson, &c. The musical entertainments were very effective, under the able management of Mr. T. Cooke, supported by Miss Rainforth, Dirs. Alfred Shaw, the Misses 'Williams, Miss Kate Loder, Miss Clara Seyton, M r. Harrison, Mr. Hatton, Mr. King. and a h ost of other pro-. fessisnals. Mr. Higgins officiated as toast-master, and ren dered efficient service. The evenin g passed off'in'most per late fect h houarmony, and the proceedin gs were prolonged until a r. Lieutenant-General Sir Richard Downes Jackson is about to be succeeded in the command of her Majesty's forces in Canada, by G enera l t h e Earl Cathcart, K.T., and Governor of Hull.

Because I continue of the opinion respecting taxes on income detailed in a protest entered on the journals 21st June, 1842. And though the revival of activity in the manufacturing districts, owing, I believe, to the cheapness of bread, aided by the remission of certain taxes, has caused a return of prosperity which was not then anticipated, I be lieve this tax must have done much to retard and to re press it. 2. Because if scarcity shall again enhance the crice of bread, and occasion distress during the continuance of this tax, it will greatly aggravate all the evils, and increase the financial difficulties which will then arise. 3. Because in that case the financial chew et mices of the country at the end of three years will probal Ify be such as to render the farther continuance of this tax indispensably necessary ; and in the other alternative, and at all events, it maybe found convenient to the Minister of the day, and may be justified by the same arguments as have been now used. 4. Because I see no ground to hope that before that period Parliament will be prepared to repeal the duties on the im portation of corn, which might render its renewal unneces sary ; or to modify itin such a manner as to make it a tax, not on incomes generally, but on incomes arising from fixed realised property only, in which case I should th►nk it alto gether unobjectionable. RADNOR. CLARENDON. C. J. MATHEWS'S INSOLVENCY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In your report of the meeting of yesterday, you state that the debts of Mr. Laurence Levy and Mr. D.

The boldness with which the characters of the principal royal personages of the story are drawn, and the strange nature of some of the incidents with which they are connected, fully accounts for the anonymous publication of the work.

THE UNCERTAINTY OF HUMAN LlFE.—Yesterday Mr. Carter, the Coroner for Surrey, held an inquest at the Red Cow, Peckham, on the body of Mr. Isaac Wells, aged sixty-one, a gentleman of independent property, living at Barden-place. It appeared that the deceased returned home from a walk, at three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, and ap peared in gait! health up to the instant previous to his death, whic h took place at twelve at night, when he fell from his chair on the floor, and expired immediately.

The King and Queen of Naples left Rome on March 26, to return to their capital. Count de Trapani accompanied them. The Queen-Mother and the Count and Countess d'Aquilla left previously. The King, it is said, during his residence in that city, had entered into negotiation with the Government of the Holy See for the formation of a railroad between the two capitals. The Pope intends sending the Golden Rose to the Queen of the Belgians. This rose receives the benediction of the Sovereign Pontiff at the mass which is celebrated in the chapel of the Holy Cross on Lcetare Sunday. On leaving the . church, the Holy Father holds the rose in his hand, and shows it to the people. It is afterwards sent to some royal personage, who is distinguished for piety and attachment to the church. During the last month the receipts of the Paris Savings' Bank amounted to 3,685,992 f„ and the reimbursements to 4,674,000 f. The number of depositors was 27,148, of whom 3,222 made deposits for the first time. A Geneva letter of the sth states that the number killed in the late affair before Lucerne did not exceed 300. According to a letter from Berne of the sth, the Executive Council of that canton has invited all the journalists to ab stain from the insertion of articles of a nature to irritate the public mind. The Moniker Parisiee publishes a letter horn Count Alfred de Hers, in which he states that the report of M. de Beau vallon (the adversary of M. Dujarrier in the late duel) and his seconds having tied into Holland is unfounded. They will, adds the writer, present themselves to take their trial. On the Ist lust, about three in the afternoon, a tire broke . out at Pluvigner, near Lorient, and consumed 38 of the houses of this ancient town, leaving upwards of 50 families in a state of destitution. The accident was occasioned by the sparks from an overheated chimney, and they were cafricil so widely, that the whole town would, in all probability, have been destroyed, but for the exertions of the firemen and the military, An accident 1i peened on the 31st ult., on the Saxon- Bavarian railroad; near Altenburg. The earth having given way and displaced the rails, the three last carriages of the train were thrown over, anti live persons so much injured that their lives were despaired of. Twenty others received minor injuries. The A ugsbhrgh Gazrite mentions a report horn St. Peters burgh that it is intended to abolish the punishment of the knout in Russia, add to replace it by flogging with the rod. A letter from Smyrna of the 19th ult. informs us that the Ottoman steamer Esseri-Djeddia from Jaffa, with 25 passen gers, arrived there on the 10th with the plague on board. On the following day one of the passengers died, and all the others were taken to the lazaretto. Another died on the 12th, and three were ill; but at the date of this letter there had been no other death, and in Smyrna itself there had been no case of plague. Six of tee refractory law students of Toulouse wore brought before thOfteademic 'Council of that place on Tuesday last. Two were declared expelled for ever from the law facult7 of Toulouse, and for six months from all the faculties of the king dom.

W AMID • IP °mos. Mr. Bshnes, tl►e celebrated sculptor, appeated in the Bankruptcy Court yesterday, before Mr. Commissioner Shep herd, and passed his final examination. At Gloucester, Mr. Baron Platt sentenced two men, named Padbury and Carpenter, who were found guilty of night , poaching with arms, to ten years' transportation. His Lord ship observed that it was a great mercy they did not finish the work of brutal violence, as they would then have bad to answer for the dreadful crime of murder, and have expiated with their lives upon an ignominious scaffold, the terrible result of going under a mistaken notion to take the game which the law declared was the property of the owner of the soil, as much as the furniture of a house was that of the oc- cupier. He should therefore inflict such punishment as would show these gangs that they could not traverse the country committing these acts of brutal violence with Un punity. Both prisoners protested their innocence. The Count Cavado, residing at No. 15,. Somerset-street, Portman-square, was charged at lliarylebone with having as saulted Jane Brodrick, a servant at the same house. Com plainant on the previous morning was asked upstairs by the Countess, and immediately upon her entering the room, defen dant seized hold of tier, and violently shook her. He also held up a stick, with which he would have struck her, had not the Countess, who was present, prevented him. Defendant, who denied the assault, was fined lOs. and costs. A young man, named John Whitely, for assaulting a child under ten years of ago, was sentenced to six months' imprisonment with bard labour, by the Common Sergeant, at the Central Criminal Court.

Feron, chef de cuisine to his Excellency's establishment. Sir Robert Peel and Sir James Graham were prevented from joining the party by previous e»gagements. The Earl and Countess of Powis and the Ladies Clive have arrived in Berkeley-square fur the season. The Grand Duchess Stephanie of Baden, accompanied by Baroness de Strutnfeder and Baron Roth de Schreckensteia, arrived at Brighton on Tuesday. her Highness will net re turn to town till Monday. The Russian Minister has a grand dinner party to‘ntorrow • evening at Ashburham House. Sir Hugh P. Palliser, Bart., has arrived in town from Brighton.

IVZISCELLANZOITS. The Dutch steam-packet Batarier, Captain Dunlop, al rived yesterday afternoon alongside th<St. Katharine's steam wharf, near the Tower, from Rotterdam. She brought a considerable number of passengers, and a heavy cargo, chiefly consisting of fifty-nine live oxen and cows. and an iinmente quantity of poultry, principally ducks and geese. The cat tle were examined previous to their being landed, in accord ance with the instructions issued by the Lords of the Com mittee of Privy Council for Trade to the Commissioners of her Majesty's Customs, and found to be healthy and free from the epidemic alleged to be raging amongst cattle on the Con- Linen t. A meeting of the governors end subscribers of the Tallow Chandlers' Benevolent Society was held yesterday, at the Hall of Commerce, Threadneedle-street, for the election of four pensioners (three males and one female) on the finids of the institution. Mr. Alderman Farncomb presided on the occasion. It appeared that at present there are ten pensioners on the establishment, the men receiving 16s. ar.d the woolen 12s. each monthly, although the society has been hardly established two years. The society has now about 1,0001. capital stock. The election having been concluded, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman. The Earl of Aberdeen, as ranger of Greenwich Park, in the room of her late Royal highness the Princess Sophia Matilda of Gloucester, has taken possession of the edifice and grounds; and the noble Foreign secretary has engaged a portion of the establishment of the late Princess. A numerous meeting was held on Monday last at Exeter, for the purpose of considering the expediency, in con sequence of the immense increase in transactions in railroad and •other shares, to erect a Stock Exchange in that city. when it was resolved that a Chamber of Commerce should be established. • Last night, shortly after nine. o'clock, a rapidly destructive fire broke out at No.ll, Spread Eagle-court, near the Thames Tunnel, Itotherhithe, The spare engine belonging to the London brigade from the neighbouring station was quickly taken to the spot, and was followed by numerous others from the establishment stations, and also the one belonging to the West of England Company. Fortunately an abundant supply of water was procured from the tire-mains in the vici nity, from which the brigade set to work with full vigour, but they were unable to extinguish the flames until the build ing in which they originated was entirely gutted, and the adjoining house seriously damaged. The house was unin habited at the time. The loss, therefore, is not very consi derable.

ASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.- EXTRAORDINABC On Tuesday at an inquest held before Mr. W. Carter, the Coroner, one of the witnesses strongly objected to view the body. The Coroner urged very strongly that she must do so, er her evidence could not be received, as she might, it fact, be deceived as to the identity of the body. The witness having gone for this purpose, the Coroner stated to the jury the following extra ordinary case which came b e f ore hi s f at h er wh i lst he held the office. Ills father held an inquest in the parish of Christ church, Blackfriars, on the body of a woman who had been taken out of the river, it being supposed she had committed suicide The mother and father swore positively that the deceased was their daughter. The master in whose service she had been was also equally positive as to her being the individual. The inquest was about to close, when one of Barclay's draymen passing by the house, and seeing a crowd round the door, asked what it was about ? The answer was, " Why, have y6ii not heard of the death of Mary ----? ." She dead 1 why i saw her alive a little while ago," replied the drayman. The drayman went to look for the girl, and soon came back with a yang. woman, whom the father and mother acknowledged to be their daughter. The daughter thus discovered bore a stri.king resemblance to the deceased person, and the jury, instead of returning a verdict as to the death of the daughter whet was present before them, had the only alternative of deciding that the body upon whom the inquiry was held, was found dead in the water, and there:was no evidence ,h ow i, ? -ow e tte I came there. w.
