The object of this important undertaking is to continue the line of railway communication from Manchester via the proposed Notting ham, Erewash Valley, Amber Gate, and blanchester Railway to Grantham, at which latter place it will unite itself with an extension to the eastern coast of England, so as to open the nearest and most direct communication between the densely-populated manufacturing districts of Lancashire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Nottinghamshire, and the eastern agricultural and maritime counties. The line will also open a direct communication with the extensive and valuable coal-field and mineral district of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, the intercourse with which has, to a great extent, been shut out for want of the means of an expeditious and cheap transit through a country hitherto unoccupied by a railway communication. The mineral traffic alone cannot fail to produce a fair remunera tion to the Shareholders, independently of the extensive traffic in flour, corn, malt, and live stock, to the manufacturing and consuming districts, and the merchandise traffic sent from those places, in re tnrn, to the agricultural parts. A considerable revenue may be anticipated from the ready facility with which the justly celebrated watering places of Matlock, Bakewell, and Buxton, and the ro mantic Peak of Derbyshire, may be approached from the eastern coast THIS EVENING, THE ONLY GREAt OiciaßAL MEETING, under the DIRECTION of COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT.

The steady success and increasing prosperity of the Society has enabled the Directors at the last annual investigation t o declar e a second Bonus, averaging 60 per cent. on the amounts invested on each Policy erected on the Front scale. As preliminary arrangements have been entered into to combine the Grantham Canal interest with the projected Railway to be constructed through the same line of country, to vest both concerns in one un dertaking, the advantages of a combined ownership of the Canal and Railway interest, are in many respects so obvious as to render com ment superfluous. The line, having been surveyed, is reported to be free from any engineering difficulties, and the cost of formation will be much below the average cost as compared with the generality of other lines. The line will be about twenty-two miles in length, and save a con siderable distance between Grantham and Manchester. It is intended to commence by a junction with the Nottingham, Erewash Valley, amber Gate, and Manchester Railway; at Notting ham ; and proceed through the several parishes of Sneinton, Colwick, West Bridgford, Holme Pierrepoint, Cotgrave, Radcliffe, Saxondale, Bingham, Scarrington, Aslockton, Whatton, Orston, Sutton, Elton, Bottesford, Redmile, Muston, Woolsthorpe, Harlaaton, and Bar rowby to Grantham, Prospectus,. s, with forms of application, may be obtained from J.

This railroad has been voted by the Chamber of Deputies on the 20th May. The length of the lease has been fixed at seventy-five years. The future prospects of this line, based upon official statis tical documents taken by the French Government, combined with the circumstance of its becoming the great connecting link with the rail roads of Belgiam and Germany, hold out a certainty of its being one of the best in France. The subscription lists have been closed at Paris on the 24th May, when application for more than double the number of Shares had been received. The adjudication of this line must take place within a few months, and in case of non-concession, the deposit money will be returned to the Shareholders, without any deduction.

DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED. This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security in a large paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it since its commencement in 1834, its ANNUAL INCOME being UPWARDS of 72,0001. In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of one-half of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 21. per cent. per annum, on the Sum Insured to all Policies of the Participating Class from the time they were effected. The Bonus added to Policies from March, 1534, to December 31, 1840, is as follows : Sum Time Sum added! Sum Time Sum Added Assured. Assured. to Policy. Assured.

It will commence at the terminus of the Great Western Railway, at Paddington, and proceed across the Edgeware-road, along the back of Lord's Crieket-ground, across the Avenue-road, under Prim rose-hill, to the Londen and Birmingham Railway (which it will cress on a level or a viaduct, as may be preferred) ; thence across the Hampstead-road, the Kentish Town-road, through the fields, across Maiden-lane, across the Holloway-road, up to a point near Islington Church, thence curving round to the Regent's Canal, near to Frog-lane and the City Lock, across the Canal there, along the back of Macclesfield-street, crossing the City-road, and passing close by Messrs. Pickford and Co.'s warehouse, thence proceeding to and across Old-street and Chiswell-street, to a spot near to the corner of Fore-street and Little Moorfields, near the bottom of Moorgate-street, where will be one City Terminus, from which a Branch is proposed to be made, to join the Eastern Counties' Railway Terminus at Shoreditch. From the Regent's Canal, at the City Lock, another Branch of this Line will proceed down the Tottenham Extension Railway to Farringdon-street (the Act for which is now before Parliament), which will be the other City Terminus. All the House Property required to be taken is of comparatively little value, being chiefly small or fourth-rate houses. Very careful surveys have been made of this line. The cost of the present Metropolitan railways will form no criterion in judging of the expense of this, as it differs most materially from them in this circumstance, viz., that instead of the whole length being on arches, there will only be 11,4 miles of it on arches or a viaduct, and the rest will be ordinary earth work, cuttings, embankments, bridges, &c. ; and, therefore, it must be admitted by all experienced persons, that the above capital is amply sufficient. It is hardly possible to estimate the enormous traffic, in passengers and goods, that will pass over this railway, for not osly will it take the passengers to and from the above-named railways, but also all the local passengers from the neighbourhood of Bayswater, Hyde Park gardens, Oxford-terrace, Edgeware-road, Maida-hill, St. John's-wood, Regent's-park, Camden-town, Hampstead, Kentish-town, Holloway, Highgate, Islington, &c., will be carried by it to Moorgate-street or Farringdon-street ; and, for the purpose of collecting such passengers, it is proposed that carriages in connexion with the railway shall ply constantly from the stations to points not exceeding one mile and a half distant, which distance will include all the places above named. The lowest estimate of the traffic shows that a clear profit of 12 per cent. will be realised on the capital ; but there is every reason to believe that such estimate is far below what will be the actual receipt. In addition to the traffic, a large revenue will be obtained from the ground rents for the lands let off for building sites, which will be un usually large on this line, from its situation, and from the arrange ment of the railway, whereby all the land at the City end will be available for new houses, and will be formed into a new street, from the City-road io Fore-street. The time for conveying passengers to Moorgate-street, from the Great Western Railway, will be Nine minutes ; the London and Bir mingham, Six minutes ; and other places i the same proportion. All the goods now removed from the above great railways by carts and waggons, will also be conveyed - by this railway to the City, and to Messrs. Pickford's large warehouses, in a few minutes, at a trifling expense. Great portion of the capital has been already subscribed.

NORRIS'S DROPS are a certain remedy for Fevers, Colds, Influenza, and all Diseases that arise from obstructed perspiration. The Medicine here recommended to the Practitioner, and the Public, possesses qualities of the most mild and beneficial nature ; it is composed of articles known to be the most anti-putrescent, combined with the ingredient known to the profes sion, as the only certain anntidote for Fevers o f every description. When the disease is produced either from cold, obstruction, bad air, swampy and damp situations, or putrid miasma, whether malignant or epidemic, or by other causes, this medicine is certain in its opera tion and effects, it produces the most gentle and salutary perspira tion, and by a specific quality, peculiar to itself, not only expels the disease, but restores and invigorates the system. These celebrated Drops have had the unbiassed testimonies to their invariable effects, of numbers of tke nobility, gentry, and medical men of this king dom, and the extensive demand for them from the West Indies and America, proves that in those countries they are held in equal estimation. The Genuine will have engraved on the Government Stamp, " Thomas Norris Moore."

Its stalls, its wares, and curious works of art, No longer call vast crowds fronrev'ry part Some think the League should beg the Public's pardon, For thus abruptly closing Covent -garden.

The public still may view this exhibition, Witllont obtaining tickets of admission. MOSES and SON, indeed, will not debar An anxious multitude from their Bazaar. From morn till n ight the public still may view • Their coats, their waistcoats, an d their trousers, too, Still reason able bargains may be made, Still shall we stand a sample of „ Free Trade."

"Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere routine practitioner would never dream of finding them; traceable to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Wakefield Journal.

MURDER OF AN OFFICER AND EIGHT MEN OF THE WASP BY THE Calm or es SLAVER.-A most distressing circumstance has oc curred in the African squadron. The Wasp, 15, Commander S. H. Usher, took a prize, which was sent to Sierra Leone to be con demned. On her way this prize fell in with and took another slaver ; the Lieutenant in command still keeping charge of the first vessel, put a Midshipman, named Harmer, with eight men, into the other. The vessels then separated. Unfortunately, Mr. Harmer allowed a strong party of the slave crew to remain out of irons, and at night they rose and murdered every Englishman on board ; and when daylight broke, exchanged signals with and fired at the other prize, and then bore away. In a day or two after. wards she fell in with the Star, 6, Commander Dunlop, who took her, and brought the whole of her murderous piratical crew to Ascension. The. villians will shortly be sent to England in the Heroine, 6, Lieut. Commander Foote, and the Rapid, 10, Comman der Earle. /~ - f INDIA ANThealtiktp o S • Intelligence ten received by e` • rt. ? , Bombay to the Ist of May ; Calcuttlift e s the 21st, and China to the Bth of 'll bit w scarcely one new fact of the slightest importance. Mash. India was perfectly tranquil ; Sir Charles Napier had re turned to Kurrachee, the troops in Sinde were healthy, the disturbances in South Mahratta had ceased, and the chiefs of Sawunt Warree had all been captured by the British, or surrendered to the Portuguese authorities at Goa, who had guaranteed their safe custody till their final surrender should be arranged between the Governments of the two countries. The news from the Punjaub is more satisfactary, No new outbreak or murders had taken place, and the leading chiefs seemed inclined to submit to the authority of the Ranee Raja. Goolab Singh had proceeded to Lahore, and a durbar was held in the lluzooreebaugh, at which he swore fealty to the Ranee and afterwards to the young Raja, at the same time presenting rich presents as a token of recons. ciliation. It was understood that Goolab Singh would be appointed Wuzeer. The British troops were collecting in considerable numbers at the Sutlej, but no immediate hostile movements against Lahore were anticipated. According to the correspondent of the Herald, who writes from Bombay, " numerous boats constructed for bridging or navigating the Indus, as occasion may require, continue to be dispatched twice or thrice a week from Bombay to Kurrachee ; and every efibrt is making to complete the large flotilla of steamers and accommodation boats demanded by the Government of Sinde. These preparations, rumour has it, have a refer ence to an approaching conflict with the Seikhs." We rather think they have reference to Akbar Khan. The troops engaged in the expedition under Sir Charles Napier in Upper Sinde had all returned to their cantonments, with the exception of a force of 3,000 men, consisting of the 7th Irregular Cavalry, the Bundelkund Legion, and Fitzgerald's Camel Corps, who form a cordon extending from Larkbana to Shahpoore, and from the former place to Eehwan, under the command of Captain Beatson. This force ie directed to patrol from post to post, preventing the passage of the robbers, attacking them when they show themselves, but prohibited from following them into their fastnesses without the special permission of the Governor. Intelligence had reached Bombay of the death, from apo plexy, of Meer Nusseer Khan, one of the deposed Princes of Sinde. This event occurred at llum-Plim near Calcutta., ; The 78th Highlander arrived at Poonah or, the 18th of April, and their health continued steadily to impross'• Upwards of 100 of the invalids of the corps were to leave for England on the 11th of May. The Affghans were makinW prepara tions to attack Peshawur. Mahomed Akbar Kahn (pitted Caubul for Jellalabad on the 15th of February, after a stay there of only eleven days, and is again in the valley _of Nun gunhur prosecuting his arrangements fur offensive operations. The following commercial intelligence appears in the Times:— "In Bengal the commercial news from England induced some speculation in sugar, and parties are known to have received private information as to the alteration in the sugar duties, which enabled them to get the start of their neigh bours. Government secrets are generally well kept in Eng land, but this time the subordinate officials in London seem to have been as communicative as their Calcutta brethren. " Our reports from the indigo districts are more favourable, heavy rains having been very general. A letter from Jessore says, they fully make up for the previous drought. In Tirhoot there are complaints of hail-storms, and the eastern districts have suffered considerably, but, on the whole, the prospect of a full average crop is maintained: " The shippers of opium at the first sale of the season hav ing received favourable accounts, a spirit of speculation in the drug has recommenced, and it being now known that the Malwa crop of the past season will not turn out within some thousand chests of the estimates made at the beginning of the year, prices are expected to go up, and may pro bably i each 1,600 Company's rupees in the coming sales. The company will consequently receive a most splen did revenue from this article, perhaps half a mil lion sterling more than was calculated upon. Ex— changes and public securities continue very steady, aiui money, though not abundant in the bazaar, is not becoming so scarce as was anticipated from appearances amongst the great native shroirs some weeks ago. " The news from China is to the Bth of March, but is of little interest. Governor Davis, while on a visit at Macao, had been attacked by some Chinese footpads, who got him down, and were proceeding tO strip him, when they were scared away by the appearance of stzme Portuguese gentlemen of the place." COMMERCIAL INTELLIG) , :NCE. (From the Chamber of Commerce Overland Price t,:wrent.) BOMBAY, MAY I.—The business done in imports sines; the de parture of the last steamer has been, on the whole, limited in ex tent. Prior to the arrival of the overland mail on the 9th instal.t the market was generally in a very inactive state; but subsequently' some degree of animation has been manifested, attended, in a few instances, with an improvement in prices. The selling season will now shortly terminate with the setting in of the S.W. monsoon, which puts an end to exportation to the coast. Metals—There has been a moderate demand for most varieties, and the market has been, and still continues, very steady. British _ . _ bar iron was sold largely at 25 rupees per candy in the early part of the month; but since the arrival of the mail prices have consider.. . . ..... ably improved, and 27 rupees have been offered and refused. The purchases have been chiefly speculative ones, made by European We have heard of no transactions in Swedish bar, btit 49 rupees would be readily paid for it, were holders disposed to sell at that rate. Hoop of small size has been sold at 7 rupees per cwt., but the price now current for average descriptions is 5i rupees. In other sorts of iron—save nail, of which there have been a few small sales—little or no business appears to havebeen done. Copper has generally improved in price, an advance of 1 to 3 rupees per cwt. having take❑ place on all kinds except South American, which has declined a little owing to an importation from China. Sheathing and braziers' have been sold respectively at 54 to 55i rupees per cwt. VPithar in r2i...4 - 4 :1- hands at 91 rupees per cwt. S'pelter has been sold at 14 1 rupees per cwt. for large-sized plates. Tin plates exhibit a slight advance upon last month's prices. Cotton Manufactures—The goods chiefly in demand by dealers during the month have been the better sorts of gray shirtings and Madapollams, and medium to good qualities of bleached shirtings. The former have advanced in value 2 to 3, the latter 4 to 6 arnms per piece. For the inferior descriptions of these fabrics there has been little demand on the part of the native buyers ; but low Ma dapellams and jaconots, both gray and bleached, have been pur. chased on speculation by some European firms, and this has cause& a slight improvement iu the prices previously current for them. In gray domestics we note a few sales, but no advance on last month's depressed rates is perceptible ; bleached are quite neglected. Fancy cambric, and muslins are only saleable in small quantities, and at reduced prices. Turkey red cloths, plait, and twilled, have been disposed of to a small extent, but at much lower prices than last month, these fabrics being at present dull of sale, owing to the regular buyers of such goods having terminated their operations for the season. Prints, zebra dresses, and almost all varieties of fancy goods, continue in a very depressed state. Yarns—The market for cotton twist has since our last exhibited considerable animation, and in Nos. 30 and 40 mule, and 20 and 30 water, a rise in price has taken place. The European houses, whose speculative transactions in piece goods we have above no ticed, have also taken some 300 bales of yarn in the same manner, chiefly consisting, we believe, of No. 20 mule, the stock of which has been for some time very large. The principal advance has been in No 40 mule, which has improved to the extent of 1 wine per lb.—a cireumstance mainly owing to the extreme scarcity of this particular number. There is a slight improvement in the price of Turkey red twist, but orange is dull, and without change: Woollens- -The market for these goods is exceedingly dull, and we hear of very few transactions ; purchases for exportation, in• deed, have entirely ceased, and dealers now only buy in Mali quantities for local consumption. There have been a few auction sales of sea.water damaged cloths, and we have been apprised, be sides,of a transaction in serges, 160 pieces of which (sound) have been disposed of at 1 , 4 rupees 8 annas per piece of 24 yards by 31 inches. sfarine Stores—We have few alterations to notice in the prices of the articles under this head. White and green paint, pitch, linseed oil, and spirits of turpentine, are slightly lower than before. Swedish tar has advanced Ir. per barrel, and the remainder are without change. The following sales have taken place :—IZ) bolts of unbleached canvass, at 16rs. per bolt; 175 cwt. of cordage, assorted, at 20rs. Ba. per cwt. ;70 cwt. of rose nails, to Sin.. at 13rs. 14a. per cwt. Beer—About 500 hhds. of Allsopp's, of the new brew, have come to hand, and are in the course of delivery in fulfilment but we ef contracts made to arrive. Ther e is none yet for sale ; quote both this and Bass' s lOrs. per h o gshead higher thine last month. 10 hogsheads of Tennent's have been sold at 401 rupees per hogshead. Spirits are without muc h change; brandy maintains a slight ad. vance upon last month's quotation. Red Lead is in fair demand, and our last quoted price for it fully maintained. Cochineal exhibits a decline of about two annas per pound since our last. A supply has arrived, but no sales have as yet taken place. Sail on—Prices are without change. The only sale of which we heard is one of 601 b., at 21rs. per lb. EASTERN PRODUCE. Cotton—This staple has been steady in price throughout the month, and the only material change is in Comptali (of the old crop), which is from 2 to 4 rupees cheaper than at the date of our last issue. The transactions have been to a considerable extent, but principally for the China market. Until within the last week the receipts from the cotton countries have been very light. Coffee—We quote Mocha a trifle lower than last month, but there is scarcely any at present at market. Ivory—The market is quite bare of this article, and prices are consequently nominal. Gums—There is little or no Arabic or Olibanum to be had. Animi exhibits no change in value. Hemp—All three varieties have risen in price to the extent of S to 5 rupees per candy. Opium has a strong upward tendency, owing to the smallness of the anticipated supply, and may now be quoted at 1,275r5. per chest. Pepper— B o th Bhutcoll and Malab ar have declined, the former to 64r5., and the latter to 51rs. per candy.
