MALLABY, TOWNSEND, and NEWALL, Solicitors. Birkenhead, April 14, 1845. The Committee decided that the objection had been sustained, and that the omissions were clerical errors. The next allegation was that zso notice had appeared in the Gazette of the intention to direct the course of a canal. The Committee, alter hearing the arguments on both Oda' at some length, decided that the allegation had not been sustained. The next allegation was that certain landowners, through whose property the Inge was to pass, had not received notice; or if they had the notice was bad. Bat:rr objected to the allegation as vague and Insufficient. Objection overruled. Mr. LONG said he had several other allegations, but would pass them over and come to the second list, which stated that the clerk of the peace's copy of the plan had not correctly set forth the sur face of the ground over which the line was to pass betweeh the 48th and 49th mile. Mr. bi•KEtce gave evidence as to the discrepancy. The Committee postponed their decision on this allegation, and then proc:eded to hear the allegations in reference to Lord Vernon, which were to the effect that the line ran through his Lordship's estates, and that he had not been served with notice. The promoters of the Bill admitted that his Lordship had not been served, for he could not, being abroad, but his trustees had. The petitioners denied that the property was in trust at all. Mr. White, Lord Vernon's solicitor, denied that the parties named as trustees were such. lie then described the nature of bill Lordship's title, which was, that he was a tenant for life, and that Sir Edward Stacy was trustee for certain purposes only. The room was then cleared, and in about half an hour the Committee announced that they were of opinion that the Standing Orders had not been complied with. The Committee then adjourned.

The object of the proposed line (for which application will be made to Parliament in the ensuing session) is to supply an important link in a communication connecting the town of Great Yarmouth and the Eastern Coast of the kingdom with the Western, Midland, and Northern districts, accommodating in its progress the city of Nor wich, the town of King's Lynn, Sutton Bridge, and the towns of Long Sutton, Ilolbeach, Spalding, Boston, Spilsby, by Louth, and Grimsby. Commencing at the proposed terminus of the Lynn, Dereham, and Norwich Railway at Lynn, the line will proceed by Sutton Bridge and the towns of Long Sutton and Holbeach to Boston, there con necting itself with the Boston Branch of the Cambridge and Lincoln line, which that Compile' , have, in pursuance of a pledge given to the Board of Trade, agreed to carry into effect : thence it will pro ceed through Boston, Spilsby, and Louth to Grimsby. The Board of Trade having reported in favour of the Newark and Sheffield line, that Company have announced their intention to ex tend their project from Newark to a junction at Sleaferd with the Cambridge and Lincoln line. It is also intended to extend the proposed line of railway from Ilol beash to Spalding, there to form a junction with the Spalding and Stamford Branch of the Cambridge and Lincoln line, which that Company have also pledged themselves to the Board of Trade to carry into effect. It cannot fail to be observed that the projected lines will together form the most direct, complete, and continuous communication between the eastern, western, midland, and northern districts of the kingdom, will bring the important markets of Norwich and Man chester nearer to each other by fifty miles than by any other line of railway ; and besides giving communication to the ports of Grimsby, Boston, King's Lynn, Spalding, and Sutton Bridge, with the interior of the country, and with each other, will afford the greatest amount of local accommodation to the intermediate districts ; in addition to which, these towns and districts will be placed on a through lino to the metropolis, by their connexion with the Lynn and Ely and the Northern and Eastern Railways. From a survey recently made by Mr. Fulton of that portion of the line from Lynn to Boston, it appears there is no tunnelling, cutting, or embanking, of any importance necessary, and that the line will be practically a dead level. Under these circumstances, and from the investigation that has been made of the other portion of the line, it is confidently estimated that the proposed capital will be amply sufficient for the construction of the necessary works and every con sequent expense, and the income derivable from the great traffic which must necessarily arise, not only from the transit of passengers, but from the transport of fish, as well as of corn, cattle, and other pro duce of the great agricultural district through which the lines pass to the principal food-consuming districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland districts, will afford an ample return for the proposed outlay of capital. It is proposed to apply for the usual power to allow Interest at the rate of V. per cent. per annum upon the paid-up capital from the date of each payment until the completion of the railway. A large proportion of the capital being already secured, it has been determined to limit the period for receiving applications for the remaining Shares to the 21st instant, until which date applications will be received by the Solicitors and Parliamentary Agents, or by the undermentioned Brokers :—Messrs.

This undertaking will, in connection with existing and projected lines of railway, bring into immediate communication with Birming ham, and the whole midland and Northern Districts of England, the great mineral fields of Monmouthshire, as well as those adjoining Car diff and Merthyr Tydvil ; at the same time it will furnish to the im portant agricultural counties of Hereford, Worcester, Brecon, and M onmouth, a ready channel for the transmission of their produce to the dense population inhabiting the mineral districts of South Wales. The object of this company will he very materially aided, first, by the existing line from Cardiff to Merthyr: and, secondly, by the lines intended to be formed by the Welsh Midland Railway Company. The line will commence at Newport, and will thence proceed northward by Pontypool and Abergavenny to Hereford, where (in that direction) it will terminate. From Abergavenny a branch will extend eastward to Monmouth, and another westward to Brecon. From Brecon an extension will be made to Merthyr, to join the Taaff Vale Railway, ending at Cardiff. Thus will be established, in addition to a free intercourse with more distant localities, a complete chain of railway communication amongst the important towns and districts just enumerated, and which are now wholly unprovided in that respect. The portion of the line extending westward from Monmouth will also promote the most direct passenger route that can be adopted from Monmouth to Carmarthen, and the South of Ireland. In addition to the main line and extensions above indicated, the Directors propose to place themselves in immediate communication with the proprietors of the most important works in the several dis tricts traversed, in order to fix the situation and the course of the minor branches, which will he necessary to complete the comprehen sive scheme of communication intended ; and to this object regard has been had in fixing the capital of the Company. The investigations which have been made on the subject of the traffic fully justify the conclusion that the undertaking is eminently ealculated for the advantage and convenience of the public, and that it will prove a most profitable investment of capital. In conclusion, it may suffice to observe that it is well known that the scheme of a comprehensive system of inland communication in the districts in question has already engaged the serious attention of the tribunal appointed by the Legislature for the initiatory examina tion of railway projects ; and the Board of Trade has, in its report on the Tring and Oxford schemes, fully recognised the great im portance and necessity of the chain of communication of which the went undertaking will form a material link in the following man ner :—" The accommodation of Herefordshire, Worcestershire. South Wal•s and the important districts b ing to the west of the present lines of railway will evidently, at no distant pe-' a 1, require not only a wide gauge railway along the southern coast, to place them in com munication with London, but also a narrow guage railway, to place them in direct and unbroken communication, through Birmingham, with the manufacturing districts and the great railway system of the rest of the kingdom." The engineering capabilities of the course of the line and exten sions have been ascertained to be excellent, and the capital proposed will be ample for the construction of the 125 miles of railway intended to be formed.

The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale compatible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits. ♦NNU I tL PREMIUM TO ASSURE £lOO.

BRITANNIA LIFE ASSURANCE COM PANY, 1, Princes•street, Bank, and 448, West Strand, Lon don, March 1, 1845. Notice is hereby given, that in pursuance of a resolution passed unanimously at two successive General Meetings of Proprietors, a MUTUAL ASSURANCE BRANCII of this Institution has been established on terms peculiarly advantageous to the Assured, and that such Branch is supported by the entire subscribed capital of the Company, together with the accumulated Rind of Premiums derived from upwards of Six Thousand Policies, already effected In the Pro prietary Branch. Full particulars are stated In the Prospectus, which, with every re quisite information, may be obtained on application at the office. PETER MORRISON, Managing Director. To the PROPRIETORS of the BRITANNIA LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, GENTLEMEN,—In calling your attention to the annexed Notice of the establishment of a Mutual Assurance Branch, I beg leave to address a few observations to you relative to the past transactions, and the probable result of the proposed extension of the operations of the Company. That the "Britannia" Company has enjoyed the decided and (I trust I may be permitted to say) deserved approbation of the public, is clearly proved by the unprecedented fact of upwards of 6,000 policies having been issued in the short space of eight years. In order, however, to show the high degree of credit and influence pos sessed by the Company, it is only necessary for me to state, that two highly respectable and well-established Life Assurance Companies have successively transferred their business to this establishment. The former of these transfers took place in the year 1840 ; the latter in the course of the past year. It is in consequence of this last-mentioned transfer, which included a large number of Policies effected on the mutual assurance plan, and also in consequence of the numerous applications for Assurances on this plan, which they have hitherto been compelled to decline, that the Directors at length determined on the establishment of a Mutual Assurance Branch, on the plan set forth in the Prospectus, after it had been submitted to, and unanimously approved by, two succes sive General Meetings of Proprietors, specially convened on the occasion. The general objection to Mutual Assurance Societies, that (in their infancy, at least) they do not afford that complete security to the Assured which ls supplied by the subscribed capital of Proprietary Establishments, is completely removed in the Mutual Branch of the "Britannia" Company ; for not only are the Mutual Policy-holders protected by the entire subscribed capital of the Proprietary Branch, but the large and continually-increasing fund, accumulated from the Premiums on 6,000 Policies already effected in that Branch, consti tutes an immediately available fund for the payment of the claims of the Assured, who will thus enjoy all the security afforded by an old established office, and, at the same time, become entitled to all the benefits to be derived from that system of Mutual Assurance which experience has proved to be at the same time the safest and the best. Another serious objection to the Mutual Assurance Plan (as gene rally acted on) is the high rate of premium required to be paid, in the Ant instance, in order to form a fund—not only for the payment e ytwhtp o iho f eaoi eal ill i t tfr h cchstoyh e vf:nehifit claims,hoeatcreditlerwde e would ri hands amount b. b dtts u T t ottsfhh a s fshm7 o et foridiibil:o:;7 person ioinvi d dore i iswiiei alsot, st b hnht u ,rei seal entitled)l dlopenrn p r emiu m scoat o si onrp f e l acpyta p r o s pec t u s . npse e tyl .miyeitottvothgrv,bonuses agradual poh,re maineb, yly aib po l ic y -holder yliquida tion among ouarsn t is(t a ll ow i nghvt ofoee qhulolddear enjoys the rare advantage of a very low rate of premium, in the first instance, combined with that of a full participation, eventually, in the profits. In availing myself of this opportunity of congratulating my co shareholders on the extraordinary success which hitherto has at tended the operations of the Britannia Life Assurance Company, I trust I shall, at no very distant period, have still further to congratu late them on the complete success of the Mutual Assurance Branch, which, after the most anxious care and attention, has been founded on a plan calculated, in every possible way, to benefit and accommo date the public. I cannot, in justice to the Directors, conclude this address without iterests servant, of the Insti tution.

CHRIST CHURCH, EXETER. The recent melancholy events which have disturbed the Diocese of Exeter, and which, it is feared, cannot be satisfactorily settled, have largely contributed to establish the necessity for a Free Episcopal Church. The -party within the pale of the Establishment, who denounce the Protestant Reformation, and labour without ceasing to subvert its principles, cannot be sufficiently held in check in a diocese like Exeter, where they are notoriously favoured by the Bishop, without some large and determined effort to provide for the due celebration of the services of the Church, in connexion with the faithful ministry of the Gospel, free from the control of the ecclesiastical ruler. To provide then for those who have been driven from their paro chial edifices by the semi-popish teaching of the clergy, it has been felt needful to obtain ground in a central part of the city, on which to erect a large and commodious church ; the hall opened a few months since in Fore-street having proved quite insufficient to ac commodate the numerous congregation. Christ Church is now erecting in East Southemhay—one of the best situations in Exeter, and on the borders of the two populous parishes of St. Sidwell's and Trinity. It will be constructed to seat 1,400 persons; four hundred of the sittings will be free. The cost of the ground and building, with other expenses, will exceed 4,0001. The friends of Protestant truth throughout the country are re spectfully invited to sympathise with their brethren at Exeter, by aiding with their contributions this spirited undertaking. An opportunity is thus afforded them, not only to strengthen the work, but o[ record tlandie who, trusting in God, have commenced this their attachment to these principles which have been esteemed the glory of Great Britain, and the distinguishi ng ato small excellence of her religious institutions. Contributions for the Christ Church Building Fund will be received for Henry Crofts, Esq., the Treasurer, at the City Bank, Exeter ; and at Messrs. Roberts, Curtis, and Co., Bankers, London.

DUPREZ AT DRURY-LANE. Duprez is delighting the public again Off the stage of the Theatre Royal Drury-lane; And thousands admire the vocalist's skill, Which causes the house every evening to fill. The surprising effect which he gives to a song Has met with unequalled success all along. Our reason for mentioning Duprez in print, Is clearly displayed in the following hint : This singer, whose voice can be rivalled by none, Should sing a choice song for E. MOSES and SON.

THE ATRAPILATORY, or LIQUID HAIR DYE ; the only Dye that really answers for all colours, and does not require re-doing, but as the hair grows, as it never fades or acquires that unnatural red or purple tint common to all other dyes. ROSS and SONS can, with the greatest confidence, recommend the above dye as infallible, if done at their establishment ; and ladies or gentlemen requiring it, arc requested to bring a friend or servant with them to see how it is used, which will enable them to do it afterwards without the chance of failure. Several private apartments devoted entirely to the above purpose, and coins of their establishment having used it, the effect produced can be at once seen. They think it ne cessary to add, that by attending strictly to the instructions given with each bottle of dye, numerous persons have succeeded equally well without coming to them.

WEATHER PREDICTIONS. All who delight in this foreknowledge should purchase, without loss of time, GRIMSTONE'S WEATHER ALMANACK, whose predic tions of the weather, from his publication to the present day, have been checked by many proprietors of newspapers and other works.

Dec. 22,, 1844, giving it, indeed, 336 correct daily predictions ; see copy, pages 52 and 54. Also, " The Sun," the "Globe," the " Era," the " Post," " Herald," " chronicle," " Satirist," " Punch," and many others, have noticed the correctness of this unique work.

Sir,—For the last three or four years I have been labouring under a nervous deafness, so much so at times as to be almost incapable of hearing. After trying several very eminent aurists, from whom I de rived scarcely any relief, I was Induced at the solicitation of a friend, to try your excellent Eye Snuff. I accordingly procured one of your 4s. 4d. canisters, after taking which I found considerable benefit, so much so that I sent for two more, which, having used, I found my hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf since. I should mention that the time I commenced taking your Eye Snuff was in April last, and have continued taking it since.—l am, Sir, your obe dient servant, W. 11. ADAMS. To Mr. W. Grimstone. Any quantity of Eye Snuff can be forwarded through the General Post, by sending money orders. A 2s. 4d. canister, with directions, will cost 35., and so on in like proportion. FOOT RACE OF FOUR HUNDRED YARDS.—Monday morning a number of spectators mustered on the wood pave ment in Oxford-street, to be present at the race between Willis (of Tottenham-court-road), and Bennet (the flying baker). The contesting distance was 400 yards, and the stakes were N. a-side. The distance having been measured, and the " coal" duly posted, the men came to the starting mark, and after some betting at even, the signal was given, and, after eight false starts, they got away. Willis took a lead for 100 yards, when his opponent came up, and ran with him for 200 yards. They both then made strenuous efforts, and Willis again shot a-head, but was speedily overtaken by his adversary, and, after great exertion on both sides, Bennet ran in the winner by three yards, and covering the 400 yards of pavement in 65 seconds. The lookers-on considerably in creased towards the conclusion of the race.

It is with real regret that we re-state, on authority which merits confidence, that there is no substantial improvement in the health of Sir William Follett. We would fain hope that a life rendered valuable to his con nexions by the personal virtues which adorn his character, and to his country by the talents he is known to possess, by the frequent proofs he has supplied in his political and professional course, will yet be spared. This, however, will depend on his total abstinence from business, and his removal from a sphere in which the fevered state of the constitution, drying up the springs of life, is stimulated by a natural wish to be present at, and to take part in the strife of parties, and to assume the active duties of his post as first law officer of the Crown. Within these few days the reports of the changes which would be rendered necessary in the retirement of Sir William Follett as Attorney-General have been revived ; it is even stated that the arrangements are fixed, subject, of cour se , t o th a t even t. Th e Solicitor- General would become Attorney-General. The claims of Mr. Fitzroy Kelly to the thus vacated Solicitor- Generalship, on the grounds of party services and of high professional reputation, are very strong. Still many well-informed persons doubt whether Mr. Kelly would be the new Solicitor-General. Sir Robert Peel, it is believed, has no special wish to introduce Mr. Kelly to office; though lie would have no objection to shelve him as a puisne judge, and thus relieve himself from the ad mitted claims which Mr. Kelly has upon him, as Prime Minister. Mr. Turner, of the Chancery Bar, is men tioned as a very likely man for the Solicitor-General ship. If the state of Sir William Follett's health would have permitted him to take the seals, there is reason to believe Lord Lyndhurst would have re linquished them, to enable him to do so, and would have been introduced to a less laborious post in the Cabinet. The circumstances to which we have alluded, preclude, however, the possibility of such an arrangement ; and things will, probably, remain in the Chancery Court as they now are, until the co urse o f pu b lic events, which are manifestly tend ing to an early break-up of the Peel Government, produces a complete change in all the offices of State.—Evening paper. HE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE AND TIIE MAYNOOTH GRANT. Clumber, Sunday Evening, April 13, 1845. My dear fellow- countrymen,—ln the sincerity of my heart, and under an anxiety which overwhelms me, may I address to you a few hurried lines which are intended to exhort you te adopt the most decisive measures, ere the fit time for action be passed. It is now late in the afternoon, and I have only just looked cursorily over the contents of this day's post : my observations must therefore be very brief indeed. I would have addressed you at an earlier period, had I not wished to see what course Mr. Gladstone would take. 1 still hoped that he might be found true to the great cause of Protes tantism, and that in him might be supplied another among the too few and able champions of the neglected and almost persecuted Established Church of England. Alas ! you hare only to choose between submitting to be trampled upon, or making a loud demand by your public voice. You must rouse yourselves as one man. Those who t;ra attached to the Protestant faith—those who wish to preserve the predominance of the English Established Church as the protection and safeguard of these realms-- those who will not submit to the imposition of the income-tax, by which means a surplus is extracted from your pockets, that is, to pay a sinful endowment of a rebellious Popish seminary, Alaynooth in Ireland, and this, too, when the smallest portion of a pound is denied to your own pure and truly Christian Church—look well into this perfidious proceeding : see with your own eyes—judgewith your own good understandings--act from the stoutness of your own noble British hearts. But be quick ! Lose not an in stant ! Call county meetings—require your representatives to represent you in reality, and call upon them to support your petitions. You are betrayed ; you are sacrificed in mere instances than one—you are the victims of some deep scheme which is not yet sufficiently developed ; but be beforehand with the schemers, although they may think themselves safe in their Parliamentary potency. Ifyou hate and disapprove of this awful beginning of future awful in tentions, speak out and act determinedly —insist on attention being paid te your national feelings, to your love of God, and love of country. Petition 1 Petition! Petition! Do this with zeal, peace fulness, and order, but w ith p erseverance and determination that nothing shall overcome. Do this, if it accords with your religious feelings and national sentiments ; if you do it you may save our cherished land from the wrath of r God and perfidy of man ; pause even, and the same rule which will revolutionise your Church will doom your fields to lie uncul tivated, yourwhole agricultural system to a ruthless destruc tion and starving desolation. I pray you, my dear fellow -countrymen, to receive this brief and crude address, written on the instant, as a proof of my deep interest in our national welfare. I make this call on your attention that you may be forewarned of what may happen, not by a facticus demagogue, but by an nnlinching Conservative of all our most loved sad valued institutions of Church and State. Allow me to sign myself, Your ever faithful Friend, E WCASTLE. IRELAND. THE IRISH LAND COMMISSION.

DEATH OF THE MARQUIS OF DOWNSHIRE. Accounts were received at Dublin Castle this morninii,announc ing the sudden death of the Marquis of Downshire. His Lordship had arrived in town from Hillsborough Castle on Friday, with the intention of attending the spring cattle show of the Royal Dublin Society next week ; and availing himself of the interval of a few days, let the Gresham Hotel yesterday morning to visit his estate at Blessington, county of Wicklow, fifteen miles from this city. At that place he was met by his agent, who had a horse in wait. ing. His Lordship mounted the horse, but had not proceeded more than a few paces, when he was seised with a fit of apopisay s and fell upon the road-side. Assistance was at once obtained, but the Noble Marquis was found to be quite dead. The death of the Marquis of Downshire causes a vacancy In ' the lieutenantey of the county of Down, and in the representation of that county.

THREE YEARS IN CONSTANTINOPL E ; OR,DOMESTIC MANNERS OF THE TURKS ; BY CHARLE S WHITE, Esc/. —Notwithstanding all that has been written respecting Constantinople, it will be acknowledged at all hands that this is by far the most elaborate and highly finished picture of Turkish life that has yet appeared.

To travellers in the East his directions will be found invaluable. —Morning Post.
