Ellis, Elliott, and Swann, solicitors SEcRETART—Wm. Protheroe, Esq., 10, Old Jewry-ehambers, London This railway is intended to connect the South Wales Railway at Chepstow with Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Birmingham, with the projected Cheltenham, Oxford (and London direct), Gloucester, and Aberystwith, Northampton and Cheltenham, and Manchester and Southampton Railways ; thus forming an uninterrupted line of com munication from the South of Ireland, through Fishgard and Milford in Pembrokeshire, to Gloucester, Cheltenham, Oxford, and London direct, Southampton, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the North of England, by a less circuitous route than can be effected by any of the projected plans for crossing the Severn below Gloucester, thereby avoiding the difficulties which must necessarily be encoun tered in such an undertaking, and affording the important towns and districts upon the intended lines that accommodation which their im portance entitles them to. The whole of the traffic upon the South Wales line passing to the Eastward of Chepstow will be carried on this line ; added to which the coal and mineral traffic from the Forest of Dean (which, from the Eastern side to Gloucester, has been estimated upon authentic documents and information, at upwards of 300,000 tons ; and from the Western or Lydney and Chepstow side the same amount of traffic may safely be calculated upon), amounting to 600,000 tons per an num (the produce of the Forest alone). must be carried upon the line, independent of the local passenger traffic and an extended trade in the produce of the Forest, which will necessarily follow the facilities offered by the proposed railroad. The revenue from this source alone will give a very handsome di vidend upon the capital to be expended, which Is expected will not exceed three-fourths of the intended capital. It is proposed to make branches to the Collieries and Iron Works in the Forest, to the present or any new Ports which may suggest themselves on the Severn ; and to make the River Wye, at Chep stow, the port of foreign export, where vessels- of any size can enter free from the dangers and difficulties attendant upon the navigation of the Severn, consequent upon the rocks and shifting sands in that river. It is intended to build a bridge across the Severn at Gloucester, which will In no way obstruct the navigation; and the proposed Gloucester and Aberystwith Company will no doubt be ready to join this Company in the expense, if they obtain their Act. The cost of the intended line from Chepstow to Gloucester, including the bridge at Gloucester, and the one over the River Wye, at Chepstow, to join the South Wales, with branches to the Collieries, Iron Works, and the. Severn, is not expected to exceed 450,0001., but it is intended to provide a capital of 600,0001. to meet any contingencies which may arise. A reference to the map will show the self-evident importance of this line as essential to the perfecting the great project of the South Wales Railway Company (who have obtained their Act of Parlia ment for a railroad from Fishguard and Millord Haven to Chepstow) n connecting it with the principal railways of the kingdom, at Gloucester, and making it the direct road to London, via Cheltenham and Oxford, for effecting which projects are now before the public with most influential support. The line Is twenty-six miles in length, has no engineering difficulties ; the gradients and curves are extremely good, and works light. It may with very great confidence be asserted, that there is scarcely a short line of railroad in the kingdom which offers greater advantages to the Shareholders than the present. Pro vision will be made in the Act of Parliament which will be applied for in the next Session to limit the liability of the Shareholder to the amount of his Shares, and to allow four per cent. on the calla.

BANKERS. The London Joint Stock Bank, London the Liverpool Borough Bank, Liverpool SECRETARY (pro tem.)-31r. George Upton. It is proposed, in the first instance, to make a railway from Callao, the chief port, to Lima, the capital of Peru, the great marts of trade, and general resort of the whole Peruvian nation ; and afterwards to lay down such lines on the coast of the Pacific as may be approved of by the Shareholders at a general meeting. The distance from Callao to Lima is about seven English miles. There is open ground all the way suited to receive the rails, the gra dient uniform, and no curves, with an abundant supply of water power, so that there will be an entire saving of fuel. It is estimated that the cost of this line will not exceed 50,000/. ; and, when it is considered that it will command the whole traffic of passengers, and the conveyance of goods between the chief port and the capital of Peru, it may fairly be assumed that the undertaking will be one of unusual profit. Should the operations of the Company be confined to the line be tween Callao and Lima, no fhrther portion of the capital will be called for than may be sufficient to construct that line.

The troops at Hyderabad appear to have continued all along in a tolerably healthy condition. SOUTHERN MAHRATTA COUNTRY. We have only a few items of intelligence to record from this quarter, but the information discloses nothing of particular importance in a political point of view. The terrible malady which has this year visited nearly the whole of the Indian continent, and committed in many places such frightful havoc, made its appearance at Belgautn and ICelapore as well as other districts- of the Southern Mahratta, country, and occasioned sad ravages amongst the native inhabitants acd'our sepoy troops. The European officers, also, did not escape; and on the 12th and 13th of June Lieutenant Carpen dale and Ensign Roberts, of the Bth Madras Native In fantry, fell victims to the disease. Soon after these casualties, a heavy Ml of rain—the first burst of the S.W. Monsoon—took place, and appears almost instan taneously to have arrested the progress of the epidemic. THE PUNJAUB. Our news from Lahore extends from the Ist to the 24th of June, and possesses some interest. The ravages of the cholera, the nth:llion of Prince Peshora Singh, the continued insubordination of the troops, and a recent attempt to assassinate Raj s Golaub Singh—:,re the chief points which attract attention. With respect to the first, it would secru that the malttly in the city of Lahore itself has of late considerably aba'ed, the deaths, whi.•h at one time amounted to betweea six and seven hundred daily, having decreased in number to from 20 to 30. The disease, however, appears to be still committing great havoc in other parts of the Ponjatth. Nor has it been confined to, the &Ali side of the Punjaub. It broke out about th© middle of June at the British station of Ferozepore, and did considerable mischief amongst both the EuroFean and native troops. Many of the men of her Majesty's 62d regiment fell victims to the dread ful disease. To return, however, to our Lahore news, On the Ist of June (as we stated in a previous number) intelligence arrived that Prince Pesbora. Singh, whose insurrectionary,movements had already occasioned no little alarm, had Surprised with a superior force a party conveying Government treasure to Peshawur, and after a short conflict, succeeded in capturing the prize, which amounted to about six lakhs of rupees (60,0001.). On receipt of this information, orders were at once issued for the preparation of a force to proceed to Seealkote against the Prince, and a body of troops, it would seem, soon afterwards marched on this service. About the sth a letter appears to have been received from Pe shora Singh by the Khalsas, intimating that " poverty alone had drivenhim to the course he was now pursuing, and that, if a provision suitable to his rank was made, he would immediately desist ; at any rate, he hoped for the support of the troops." The Khalsas, in reply, offered him an asylum in their camp ; which however he, of course, had no idea of accepting. He now en sconced himself in Seealkote, and made preparation for a stout resistance. He seems to have been in possession of a considerable sum of money, which, it was said, had been sent him by the nephew of Raja. Golaub Singh. On the arrival of the troops, a deputation waited on him, to recommend that he should restore the money he had plundered, and " pay up the arrears due by him." To this advice a reply was given to the effect that " necessity had alone compelled him to do as he had done, and that poverty now compelled bim to keep the money." The negotiation having thus re sulted unsuccessfully, it was resolved to attack Seealkote, and the troops accordingly commenced an assault on that place. The Prince, however, sallied out, at the head of a strong force, and put them to the rout, losing 100 of his own men, and killing thrice that number of his assailants. After this somewhat standing manifes tation of his prowess, another deputation waited on him —and on this occasion with greater success. The Prince agreed. to surrender the treasure ; and Sirdar Juwahir Sing withdrew the troops from Seealkote. It appears that the prince has been removed from this plat's) to a jagheer of equal value at Munkeera ; and the state troops, after making arrangements for the Government of the district, returned to Lahore, which city they reached on the 20th of June. -►,,, We observe that an idea has latterly become again pretty generally prevalent, that an invasion of the Seikh empire is in contemplation by the British Indian Govern ment. 'We see nothing in the present state of affairs that supplies the least ground for this conclusion. 4 1 A %.:1141 . ;I: AFFGHANISTAN. We have accounts from Caubul to the 23d of May, but the intelligence is of minor importance. Cholera would appear to have broken out both at Ghtznee and Jellalabad. Mahomed Akhbar Khan rc. turned from this latter place on the 13th of May, and was received at Caubul by his father, the Dost, with every manifestation of joy. Soon after his arrival he appears to have communicated his intention of proceeding on a pil grimage to Mecca, and by the last accounts the Meer llajee, together with Mahomed Shah Khan Ghilzie an Azecz Khan Ghilzie, and the requisite number of at tendants, were preparing to accompany him. The Dost, it would appear, does not approve of this step. Intima tion has reached Caubul of the intention of the King of Bokr.ra to invade and appropriate the territory of the Wullee of Khooloom ; and Dost Mahomed, with th view of averting this result, had dispatched a private e rn/ Aye as ambassador to " his Majesty," with instrue• L ions to dissuade him, if possible, from the enterprise. A private council was summoned on the 18th to deliberate, as it was said, upon some letters that had been received from the British authorities. CHINA. Accounts from Hong Kong to the 15th May, via Cal cutta, have been received since our last ; but they yield a very scanty supply of intelligence, and that almost exclusively of a commercial character. The discussion relative to the opium trade had been revived, owing to a step taken by Mr. Al‘Gregor, the Consul at Canton, who on the 21st of April had ordered the parties i charge of the receiving ships at Whampoa to appear be fore him with their registers and other ships' papers—a measure which of course had the effect of driving these vessels from the river. The cause of the pro cedure is variously stated—the China Mail (the go vernment paper) affirming that it was brought about by the acts of certain Parsee merchants, who persisted in employing foreign schooners for the conveyance of opium between Whampoa and Canton—while the Friend of China expressly denies the correctness of this statement, alleging that the measure must be traced to the misconduct of " one of the small mercantile firms lately established in China," which sold some saltpetre to a mandarin licensed to purchase that article, and offered delivery of it from a receiving ship, which so incensed the mandarin that he lodged a com plaint with the consul, who thereupon fined the firm 500 dollars, and issued the order alluded to. It was said that the arrangements which prohibit the Chinese from trading at !long-Kong without a "chop" for the purpose, and which has interfered in no small measure with the com mercial prosperity of that settlement, was likely to be abolished by Government. Victoria and Canton were visited on the 9th of May, by a violent thunder storm, accompanied by a very deluge of rain, which did con siderable damage to roads and unfinished buildings in the former place. An extract from the Pekin Ga zette, given by the China Mail, intimates that " the Emperor Taoukwang, being now in the vale of years, feels the weight of administration to be too much for his infirmities, and is longing to be freed from the burden. His sickness last summer produced conside rable altercation about the succession to the throne. His only son was at first proposed as the rightful heir to the crown, and Taoukwang agreed that he should wield the sceptre at the commencement of this year ; but the design was frustrated by the parties who contended for the as cendency. The formation of a council, to whom all important matters were entrusted, was the consequence. The personal influence of some of its leading members have been found to be too great, and in order to neutralize it, Taoukwang has recently added considerably to its number, and thus brought together many powerful and ambitious leaders opposed to each other's views." ." The stock of goods on hand," says the Hong Kong Register, " is still large, though a few sales continue to be made. Prices have not declined so much as might have been expected under the circumstances, nor are they expected to go much lower, but until the arrival of the new crops of silk and tea, no advance is looked for. THE BOMBAY MARKET. (From the Chamber of Commerce Overland Price Current.) BoalaAY, JULY 19, 1845.—Owing to the customary sus pension of active commercial operations during the South West Monsoon, we have, on the present occasion, but few transactions to record, or remarks to make, in reference to the state of the market for imports. The fall of rain, since the setting in of the wet season, though occuring with long intervals of fine weather, has been, on the whole, considerable, and the prospects of the agriculturists in the interior are cheering. Metals—Very little business has been done in any variety of metals, although, as will be seen from our quotations, the nomi nal prices of some articles have undergone alteration. We quote copper from eight annas to Rs. 2i per cwt. higher than last raonth, tile having risen from Rs. 50i to Rs. 51, nails from Rs. 51 to Rs. 52, sheathing from Its. 53 to Rs. 54, bra ziers from Rs. 5.1 i to Rs. 57, and raised bottoms from Rs. 55 to Rs. 57 per cwt. The only transactions in copper of which we have been apprised consist of a sale of braziers, at Rs. 56 per cwt., made towards the end of June—and one of 20 cwt. of nails at Rs. 52 per cwt. In iron there has likewise been little doing, our report comprising only two sales, viz., a small lot of square bar iron of very suitable sizes to Rs. 30i per candy, and 84 tons of Swedish bar at Rs. 49i per candy. We have fixed the minimum quotation for British bar Rs. 2 per candy lower than last month ; in other descriptions there are no changes in price to record. Some steal, in faggots, has been sold, we hear, at Rs. 12i per cwt., and some iu tubs (Swedish) at Rs. 10 The market is firm for all varieties of metals—particularly for copper, owing to the lightness of the stocks. The stock of British bar iron continues very heavy, and the prospects for it are not favourable. Cotton Manufactures—There has been nothing done in these fabrics worth noticing, and our sale list is all but a complete blank. There has been some inquiry, however, during the month for particular goods, and were holders willing to submit to the prices offered at the close of the last season, purchases and a THIRD EDITION at SEVEN 0 CLOCK., for POST, containing PARLIAMENTARY and all other NEWS in LONDON up to that _Hour.

Manufacturers, Leek This line will commence at the terminus of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Consall, thence close to Cheadle, and Tean, and by littoxeter, Bagots Woods and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent Valley Railway, near Lichfield, communicating there with one of the pro posed lines from Dudley and Walsall. A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direst line for the London and Manchester traffic; uniting those two great termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing railways. It will also completely accommodate the local traffic and manufactures, and open several extensive coal fields and some thou- sand acres of wood land for the supply of Manchester, the Potteries, and other great marts of the kingdom. Together, too, with the pro posed line from Derby to Crewe, it will afford a transit from the Eastern Counties and Derby to Manchester, and give every accom modation to the Potteries. This line is, in its principal features, much the same as that already approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned by the Churnet Valley Company—will be scarcely 47 miles in length, and passing through the centre of the district, does not interfere with the Grand Junction, or any other existing railway. It is material to re mark, that it is even more direct than the Churnet Valley as formerly projected to Tamworth, and is free from the formidable opposition of the landed Interest, and the engineering difficulties consequent on the route by Rocester and Marchisgton. It must be observed also that it is the only railway which has been brought forward by, and is under the control of, the landowners and manufacturers of the,Churnet and Blythe Valley districts. The co-operation of most of the principal landowners, from near Uttoxeter to near Lichfield, having been obtained, and there being no competing lines projected through that district, this portion of the line may be considered as secure.

The Directors of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway Company having completed the whola of their arrange ments, and having been compelled to refuse at least three-fourths of the applications for shares in their line, have had their attention forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the station on the Great Western Railway, by which a connexion would be most advantage ously formed between Southampton, Gloucester, Cheltenham, and all parts of England. After most mature deliberation, they have re solved to recommend to their shareholders and the public the lime diato carrying out a railway to effect this object, which will be most desirable, as a completion to their own line, and highly advantage ous in a pecuniary sense and on public grounds. They have directed all the necessary surveys to be made, so as to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session, at the same time as the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway, with a view to the ultimate amal gation of both lines under one management. - In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the holders of Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares, and every original shareholder it that line may, on production of his Scrip Certificate, receive an allotment of a similar number of Salis bury and Swindon Extension shares.

This line of railway will leave the Glasgow, Barrhead, and Neilston Direct Railway at a point to the west of Pollokshaws, and through the parishes of Eastwood, Cathcart, Means, East Kilbride, Stratbaven, and Stonehouse, into Lesmahagow•, with branches to Eaglesharu and other important places. The district traversed by the line is thickly peopled with inha bitants engaged in manufactures and agriculture, and is rich in ex tensive fields of freestone, limestone, coal, and clay, and black band iron -stone, and other minerals. The line will be about 22 miles in length, and will afford the most direct possible communication with Glasgow, Paisley, Pert Glasgow, Greenock, Ardrossan, and the many other towns and villages with which it will be brought into immediate connexion, by means of the Glasgow, Barrhead, and Neilston Direct Railway, with its branches and extensions. It is diilleult to form a full estimate of the advantages of this line, whether as respects passengers or minerals ; but in regard to the lat ter, it may be stated that at present the whole gas coal used in the west of Scotland is brought from Lesmahagow by cartage at enor mous expense, and that the great Lesmahagow field, as yet not opened up, is ascertained to be unsurpassed in the extent, the rich ness, and facility in working of its coal, ir•n, and ether minerals, which, when brought into operation, will at once enrich the neigh bourhood of the line, and afford a handsome return to the promoters.

OVERLAND MAIL INDIA AND CHINA. The Overland Mail has brought intelligence from Bombay to the 19th of July, Calcutta July 5, and China May 15. The news is generally without interest, as no event of importance had occurred in any part of the British dominions in India, and the same may be said of China. At Calcutta the exchange was brisk, large transactions having taken place at is 1 lid, at ten months' date. The following summary is taken from the Bombay Times of July 19 : Young Egypt supplies the only news of any consider able importance on the present occasion. A tract of country on the Western Bank of the Indus, recently obtained in exchange from our ally Meer Ali Moorad, has been plundered by some of the tribes in the neigh bourhood, and it has been found necessary to send up a wing of the 18th regiment of Bombay N. 1., under Major Corsellis, for the 'purpose of suppressing the dis turbance. No intelligence has arrived as to the result of the expedition ; but rumours prevailed at Kur rachee that reinforcements were likely to be needed, and if this be the case, the affair must be of a more seri ous nature than was at first imagined. The troops sta tioned at the outpost at Shahpore have had a successful chase after some cattle-stealing Beloochees. From the above it will be seen that Sinde is not i❑ the enjoyment of complete tranquillity, and that it is not yet in a fit state to be left to the exclusive guardianship of Captain Brown and his police. Very great dissatisfaction has been caused by the re-introduction of transit duties a system of taxation denounced while practised by the Ameers, and entirely abolished by Lord Ellen borough. The intelligence from the Punjaub relate chiefly to the ravages of cholera, and the suppression of the rebellion of Prince Peshora Singh. A design to assassinate Raja Goolab Singh has been discovered, and the supposed originator of the plot, after taking poison, endeavoured, almost with his last breath, to fix the guilt of complicity upon Sirdar Juwahir Sing, the Minister, and Raja Lull Singh, Commander of the Forces ! The troops still continue turbulent, and clamorous for in creased pay, gratuities, &c. From Caubul we learn that Mahomed Ukhbar Khan is about to undertake a pilgrimage to Mecca. Cholera had shown itself at Ghuznee and Jellalabad.—There is nothing of import ance from the Southern Mahratta country.—The troops at Ferozepore have suffered a good deal from cholera, and this terrible malady has this year:afflicted almost the whole continent of India. In the Madras Presidency, and at Bombay, Poona, &c., its ravages have been most ex tensive ; the setting in of the rainy season, however, will doubtless now relieve us entirely of this calamitous vi sitation. News from China to the 15th May has been received since our last, but it comprises nothing of particular moment. THE ROYAL NORTHERN LUNATIC ASYLUM. So called by special permission of her Most Gracious Majesty. 1. The primary object of the projected Institution Is the accommo dation of Pauper Lunatics for the Northern Counties, and other Lunatics in poor circumstances, but not Paupers, whose support falls upon their relations. 2. The contribution of 211. entitles the contributor to the privilege of presentation at the most reduced rate of board ; and any parish or number of individuals contributing to that amount is entitled to the same privilege. 3. Of course the larger the number of patients, the lower will be the rate of charge; and if, ultimately, the Asylum, by additional buildings, provide accommodation for a better class of patients, their higher board will assist in further lessening that of the poorer classes. 4. 't o congregations, and individuals not legally liable in the sup port of Pauper Lunatics, it is no inconsiderable privilege, that of being entitled to send to such an Institution any peer individual, not a Pauper, with whom they may be connected, or in whom they may feel an interest, at a rate of certainly not less than 30 per cent. lower than the board of those in a similar station sent by persons not pos sessing such privilege.

The intelligence received from Sinde since our last is recent in date, and in many respects of very considerable interest. It will be remembered that a short time since a tract of country on the western bank of the Indus was taken in exchange by the Governor of Sinde from our ally, Meer Ali Moorad. This territory, situated about 80 miles above Sukkur, had no sooner come into our pos session than it began to occasion trouble ; and about the 25th of June information reached Hyderabad that it was being plundered by some of the neighbouring tribes, and a wing of the 18th Regiment of Bombay Native, Tnfantry,under Major Corsellis, was at once ordered up in steamers to a place called Kusmore, or Kismore, for the purpose of affording protection to our new subjects in that quarter. We have heard nothing as yet as to the result of this expedition : we observe, however, from the Bombay Witness, that it was rumoured reinforcements would be required by Major Corsellis to enable him to accomplish the object for which he set out. No trust worthy information has come to hand in reference to the character of the enemy by whom the depreda tions have been carried on. At Shahpore, our farthest advanced post, close to the Murree and Boogtie hills, our troops also have not been allowed to re main idle. At this place was stationed (by General Order of 18th March last) a force consisting of 100 sabres of the 7th Light Cavalry, and 200 of the infantry of the Bundelkund Legion, under Captain R. Master, with a small post gun. Early in June a report prevailed that a further portion of the last named body was " wanted" at Shahpore ; bat we are not aware whether any additional detachment was really sent up. The cause of this rumour appears to have been a fresh exhi bition of unconquerable predatory propensities on the part of a band of Boogties, who had made an inroad and captured some three hundred head of cattle. Captain Tabor, who was in command of the Shahpore post, discovered and gave chase to the Beloochees, and, after killing five horses from over-work during the dour, succeeded in recovering the stolen property. We have not heard of any further foray at the outposts, and to all appearances everything is now quiet in that direction. These stations are not intended to be relieved till the sth of October, and the same rule is to apply to the Lower Sinde posts at Meerpore and Omerkote. It is said that the Sinde Government has taken into its employ a great number of Jakranees, who have been incorporated into the mounted police, and it is said prove a useful acquisition to that body. The rise of the Indus has been late this season—the river having been on the 12th of June no more than eight feet above low-water mark. Once commenced, however, it increased rapidly, and by the 22d it had reached a consi derable height and promised ere long to overflow the whole country. Sickness has appeared—though not as yet to any very serious extent—amongst the troops at Sukkur and Shikkapore. About the middle of June cholera unfortunately broke out at the former place, and for some time raged with considerable violence, the number of deaths on the 20th—in the whole town — having amounted to 42, out of which 33 were those of natives and four Europeans. Strange to say, the dis ease manifested itself only in the Sudder bazaar, the old city of Sukkur and the town of Rore6 remaining per fectly free from it. The inhabitants of the bazaar, in fluenced by alarm, fled, to the number of four hun dred to Rome, Shikkapore, and the villages in the neighbourhood. The malady is said to have been of a most malignant type, and similar in its characteristics to that which has decimated the population of Lahore, and created such fearful havoc in Peshawur and other parts of the Puejaub. The latest accounts from Sukkur to the 26th ult. intimate that cholera was then decreas ing, and that, singularly enough, it had nut spread beyond its original limits. Fevers have been very prevalent both at Sukkur and Shikkapore. At the latter place on the 15th June there were only two officers of the 7th Light Cavalry—the commanding officer and adjutant—off the sick list. Several of the officers have lig its. , r cs. ;Pee° E ntia tel Load O ,i st D" iSh S Cji .0 the Lo' VOll thO rl t sterj ;6., yr," LO t, nd Toro 7 0 , , 1 0 )5 5 p 0' '0 Aseg I.r gii !St nec csr if tin %.1 -- - i, ,A 21. 61' pO l 5 11 ° /i senti' veo 1 1 uLi , er _4#
