TO THE PROS ISION'AL COMMITTEE OF THE BANDON ' This line, which will commence at Leicester, and proceed from thence by or near to Market Harborough, Bothwell, Kett ening, Wel lingborough, to Bedford, is intended to supply the. wants of a very rich and thickly populated district of country lying between Leicester and Bedford, and to afford a much shorter and more direct commu nication between the first mentioned place and London. The existing and projected lines of railway form the most direct route from Manchester, Leeds, Derby, Sheffield, Nottinghrcm, and the North of England to London, by way of Leicester, and the present line will be the nearest one from that place to the metropolis which exists or can be projected. The line will pass through the richest grazing land in tilt kingdom, and will d: rive a considerable traffic in the conveyance of cattle from thence to the London markets. The coal-fields of Leicestershire and Derbyshire will supply, by means of this railway, the wants of the counties of Bedford, Hunt ingdon, Hertford, Essex, and Cambridge, in this most necessary article of consumption, which will be reduced in price at least 501. per cent. Se soon as the surveys am completed, a detailed Prospectus with the names of the gentlemen forming the highly influential local Committees, will be published. In the meantime, the promoters are justified in stating that the railway will be made at an average ex pense, and that the traffic will insure an ample return upon the capital required. The Subscribers will not be liable to any further call until the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 4 per cent. upon the amount paid up until the opening of the line. The Directors reserve liberty to themselves to alter the proposed route, or to extend the railway as they may think expedient. The numerous parties who have applied for Shares having done so prematurely, are requested to renew their applications in the under mentioned terms. _ _ _ BANKERS—TIie London and tdunty Ranking Company SOLICITOR—ThOMRS JOIIeS, M awe, Esq.

The object of this Railway is to connect South and North Wales, the improving and important port and fashionable watering place of Aberystwith, Shropshire and Cheshire, &c., with Manchester, Lan cashire, Yorkshire, Staffordshire, the Potteries, Derbyshire, and the North of England. Its course will be a continuation of the Manchester and Birming ham Railway from Crewe, through Nantvvich, Whitchurch, Elles mere, Oswestry, Welshpool, Montgomery, Newtown, and Llanidloes, terminating at " Cardigan Bay," and the Port of Aberystwith, with a Branch from Ellesmere to the coal-fleld of Rhuabon. Preliminary surveys have been made, and it presents no engineering difficulties, and is remarkably favourable for cheap construction,. This line is especially called fur by the local wants bf the districts, is not a competing line with any existing or proposed Railway, and will be the only direct route from Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Leominster, Hereford, Aberystwith, Machynlleth, Rhyader, Llan.dloes, Newtown, Bishop-Castle, Montgomery, Welshpool, Llanfyllin, Dolgelly, gollen, Rhuabon, Chirk, Overton, Oswestry, Ellesmere, Wem, Frees, Whitchurch, Audiern, and Nantwich, to the Staffordshire Potteries, Warrington, Manchester, and the whole of Lancashire and York shire, thus accommodating a population of not less than 300,000 indi viduals. And, by means of this line and " the Trent Valley Continuation Railway," it will give the only communication by Railway from Market Drayton, Malpas, Wrexham, and Mold, with the above named districts and towns. And, jointly with the " Trent Valley Continuation Railway," will be the most direct line from Oswestry, Wem, Ellesmere, Llangollen, Overton, and Rhuabon, to Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and London. It is a most important fact that Crewe, the Terminus of this line, is the centre of five existing or proposed Railways, embracing the Immense locomotive establishments of those Railways, and the branch from this line proceeds to the great iron-works and coal-field of Rhuabon. Engineers and scientific men have fully established the fact, that the coal of this district is the finest in Europe for the ma nufacture of coke, and by this Railway it will be brought directly to the before-named locomotive establishments, and also be the means of supplying the interior of Wales with coal, much better, and at a lower price than at present. It will greatly benefit the extensive agricultural population of South and North Wales; the Vale of Clwyd, Shropshire, and Cheshire, which will obtain a cheap and quick transit for their agricultural produce to the Crewe establishments, and the manufacturing dis tricts of the Potteries and Manchester, including the whole of Lan cashire and Yorkshire, and also to Birmingham and London. The importance to the several counties through which this Railway will pass, of access to the safe harbour of Aberystwith, cannot be overrated. A great intercourse and interchange of commodities must take place between the agricultural districts, the coal and iron mines of Wrexham and Rhuabon, and the flannel manufactories of Welshpool, Newtown, &c., with Manchester. The existing traffic is very considerable, and a glance at the ac companying map will ~ how at once the great resources of this line ; and, it is manifest, that it certainly must become one of the most valuable and productive lines in the kingdoM. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate of 41. per cent. on all deposits and calls paid up, after the passing of the Act. Applications for Prospectuses, Plans, and Shares, may be made to the Secretary, at the Office, 78, King William-street, City, London, and the following Share-Brokers :—Thomas Allsop, Esq., 34, Corn hill ; Messrs.

ROCHE'S HERBAL EMBROCATION, an Effectual Cure for the Hooping Cough, without Internal Medicine. This is the only discovery affording a perfect cure, without admi nistering an internal Medicine, the difficulty and inconvenience of which, in all disorders particularly incidental to Children, are too well known to need any comment. The Inventor and Proprietor of this Embrocation can with pleasure and satisfaction declare, that its salutary effects hare been so universally experienced, and so gene rally acknowledged, that many of the most eminent of the Faculty now constantly recommend it as the only known safe and perfect cure, without restriction of dict or use of medicine. Many thousands of chil inn are cured annually by this remedy; on the first attack, an immediate application of the EMBROCATION will prevent the complaint taking any hold of the constitution, and a few times using often completely cures. IR most cases, one bottle will produce the desired effect. The Proprietor, therefore, earnestly and conscientiously recommends it to Parents, Guardians, and all those who have the care of children. For the protection of the Public, and to prevent imposition, "J. ROCHE" is signed on the Label accompanying each bottle, and the name of the sole Wholesale Agent, Mr. Edwards, 67, St. Paul's, -ngraved on the Government Stamp. Price 4s. per bottle. Sold by Edwards, 67, St. Paul's Churchyard, London ; Sanger, 150, Oxford divot ; White, 44, eoraldil ; and by most respectable Chemists. to the town of Grantham, thence passing through or near Folkingliam and Bourn, or one of them, to Spalding, Long Sutton. Sutton-bridge, and King's Lynn,and there joining the intended Lynn and East Dereham Rrilway, will form the most direct line of connexion be tween the Eastern Counties, and the great and populous manufac turing districts of LancaShire, Yorkshire, sad Staffordshire, by means of the projected Grand Union Extension line to Amber Gate, and other lines north of Nottingham ; and by means of the line to Yarmouth will also form a communication between the Eastern and Western coasts of the Kingdom. - . _ The Southern parts of ancolnshire, and the North Eastern parts of Cambridgeshire, will be afforded a direct facility of intercourse with some of the best markets in England. The neighbourhood of Nottingham being the most Eastern part of the Great Midland Coal Field, this Line will afford a supply of Coals, as well as being the medium of transit of. Derbyshire Lime and Stone to the Agriculturists of South Lincolnshire, at a conside rably cheaper rate than by other existing or projected Line ; in short, the vast mineral wealth of the Midland District, will be ren dered available to the whole of the great agricultural country East of Kot tin gh am. Surveys are now in progress, and the nature of the country is known to offer no serious engineering difficulties, and a great portion of the Line will be nearly a dead level. The consideration of an ex tension of the Lino from Spalding or Long Sutton to Wisbeach, will also form a portion of the scheme. The Repo'rt of the Board of Trade on the Lines through Lincoln shire, says : " The total cost attending the transmission of a quarter of wheat from the interior of Lincolnshire, by sea, from the port of Boston to London, including freight, insurance, lighterage, commission, and other charges, is stated to amount to very near Bs.. The charge by Railway per quarter (allowing five quarters to the ton, at the charge of 1M d. per ton, per mile, at which the estimate of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway is taken) would not exceed 25., and the re maining charges are calculated not to exceed 2s. 6d., thus showing a benefit to the corn growers and to the public of 3s. 6d. per quarter, occasioned by the saving of the sums now paid for insurance, delay, loss in weight, depreciation of quality, lighterage, &c." " A still more important advantage to the Farmer is afforded by the opportunity given by railway communications of availing himself promptly of the most favourable market. It frequently happens tha owing to the delay and difficulty of transmission, the Farmer is come pelted to sell his wheat at the nearest provincial market at a price considerably below the average rate, and to lose the advantage of a temporary rise." " Whatever tends to equalise prices and to prevent excessive fluc tuations cannot but be considered as a benefit both to the producer and the consumer. We are satisfied that much may be done in the way by an economical and well arranged system of railway com munication." - _ . The same remarks apply to the whole of the great manufacturing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire. The great quantity of land, amounting to 100,000 acres, about to be redeemed from the sea by a company, with Sir John Rennie, as Engineer for the promoters, and Mr. Rendel, for the Corporation of Lynn, must ultimately prove of great advantage to this under taking. And, it it is conceived, that the Grand Union Railway must meet with the cordial co-operation of the Midland Railways, as an immense traffic will be brought along those lines en route to Birming ham, the Potteries, and the whole of the manufacturing districts of Staffordshire. The traffic upon the intended Nottingham and Mans field, Sheffield and Newark, Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junc tion, and the Sheffield and Manchester lines, must also derive a great increase from ithisline of railwa The Cambridge :and Lincoln Rail waymust also be greatly benefited. Power is intended to be reserved in the Act to allow 4 per cent. in terest upon deposits and calls, upon completion of the line. Applications for Shares may be made to Messrs. Capes and Stuart, Solicitors, Gray's Inn, London ; •or Messrs. W. and S.

An Extension of the Grand Union Railway is determined upon, from Nottingham to the Terminus of the intended Manchester and Buxton Railway, at Amber-gate. The Line will traverse the Great Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Coal Field, running from the Town of Nottingham, through or near Lenton, Radford, Basford, Wollaton, Bidwell, Nuthall, Kirhberley, Watnall, Greasley, Newthorpe, Eastwood, Beaverlee, Brinsley, Sel stone, Codnor, Butterley, Pentridge, Ripley, Heage, Hartsay, to Am. bcr-gate, and thus passing through a densely populated district, in exhaustible in its mineral resources, and from whence an immense degree of local traffic must be derived, it will complete, by its junc tion with the Grand Union and the Manchester and Buxton Lines, a direct communication between the eastern and north-western parts of the kingdom. As this Line was originally a part of the plan contemplated by the promoters of the Grand Union Railway, and was merely postponed until it should be ascertained that the Manchester and Buxton Com pany would carry out their scheme of extension to Amber-gate, the Shares will be apportioned to the holders of Grand Union Shares in the proportion of on 6 to every three.

Among the 10,000 in use, they have been adopted by the official authorities of the Houses of Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office, Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other Cleb-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of gas have passed through some of these meters without regula tion or repair, and which are still working to the entire satisfaction of the gas company and consumers. All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his meters. ... _ Testimonials from the most eminent and scientific men and large consumers can be had on application (or will be forwarded by post), five of expense, at the Manufactory, 67, St. Martin's-lane, London.

Before you purchase from them reflect a little on the moral consequences of the act, and let the fol lowing facts assist you in your reflections : Very cheap cloth is made chiefly from old woollen rags torn up and re-manufactured. Low-priced, but rotten, clothes, are made from this cloth, by un fortunate men and women, who receive for their labour a most wretched pittance The advantages of this fraud and oppression are entirely absorbed by the men who practise it—hence rapid fortunes and palace-like premises.

This line will commence near the city of Oporto, and continuing through Lamego, will traverse the very heart of the great Wine dis trict of Portugal to Torre de Mencervo, within a few miles of the Spanish frontier. The manifest advantages of this line render comment almost un necessary. Preliminary surveys have established the fact tha t there are no engineering difficulties of i m p or t anc e to overcome, and the traffic of the country is even now s o grea t, that no reasonable doubt can exist as to•the lucrative nat ure o f thi s i nves tment. The improved state of affairs in the Peninsula will eventually ensure the extension of this line to the ancient and populous city of Sala manca, and the very heart of Spain. It is difficult to estimate the beneficial results of the compl e ti on o f suc h a li ne . An immense dis trict of the most fertile country in Eu ro p e will be brought into imrhe diate contiguity with the sea- coas t , an d t h ence , by consequence, with England and all the maritime nations of the world. The Provisional Committee ava il t h emse l ves of the earliest possible opportunity to apprize the public that such legal measures will be adopted, as must afford the Subscribers to this Company ample pro tection.

NICHOLAS GRUT, Secretary and Actuary 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 BRANCH of thls 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 cf Six Thousand Policies, already effected in the Pro prietary Branch. Full particulars are stated in the Prospectus, whteh, with every re - - quisite information, may be obtained on application:at the office. PETER MORRISONi Managing Director. To the PROPRIETORS of the BRITANNIA LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. CIENTLEMEN,—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 bf the public, is clearly proved by the unprecedented faCt of upWards of 6,000 policies having been issued in the short spare 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 thii 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 is 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 fiat instance, in order to form a fund—not only for the payment of the clahns, but also for the distribution of large bonuses among the policy-holders. This objection also is entirely removed by means of the half credit system detailed in the prospectus. For, by allowing half the amount of the first five annual premiums to remain for five years in the hands of the person assured, and applying the bonus (to which he would otherwise become entitled) to the gradual liquida tion of the debt thus incurred with the Company, the policy-holder 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 calling your attention to the able and cordial co-operation which has t been afforded to me on their part, not only on the present imp ortant occasion, but also in every other instance in which the ir advice assistance I have the honour to be, Gentle men, Your most obedient servant , • PETER MORRISON, Managing Director.

In the propriety of these questions be fully concurred, and he would read them to the jury. They were these:—" By whose orders did you make the bridge wider? What was the extra width, and haw many square feet were added ? What was the weight of the cast and wrought iron with the wood placed extra upon the bridge ? Did you offer or give to Mr. Cory any mechanical ideas as to the propriety or impropriety of making the bridge wider, or explain the consequences of adding extra weigtht and breadth to act as leverage beyond the chains ? Did you know the weight the bridge was calculated to bear by the con tractors, or inquire of Mr. Cory the terms of the specification) Did you examine the chains, bolts, bars, &c., before commencing the alterations, and report the same to Mr. Cory as to their soundness and capability ? Did you calculate the extra weight you were going to add to the bridge before you commenced the alto. rations, and report the same to Mr. Cory ? Did you suppose that if the bridge had been in its original state, it would have broken with the number of persons then upon it ?" A juror said, that according to the mechanical rule, he believed, that every square foot of surface should bear a hundred weight, and that the suspending power was generally made exactly in that proportion. It appeared here that one-third additional surface had been added to the bridge by the platforms on each side of it, and that nothing had been added to the suspending power. The CORONER observed, that that matter would more properly be discussed when the general merits of the case should come en. The room was then cleared of strangers , and, after a short dis. cussion amongst the jury, the following presentment to the Town Council was agreed to : " We, the undersigned, now acting as jurymen upon the in-' quisition upon the bodies of the several persons who met their death from the falling of the suspension-bridge on the River Burt, within this borough, beg to represent to the Mayor, Aldermen, and 'Councillors of this borough, in council assembled, the absolute ne cessity that exists for the employing some scientific engineer, In order to come to just consideration of the circumstances in which. the bridge was placed, and to enable them to discharge the oaths they have taken." . Mr. S. Cobb, a magistrate, who was on the bench, undertook to support it. The inquiry was then adjourned to enable the jury to receive the determination of the Council. Theexciteinent appears to have nearly subsided in Yarmouth. The bodies found anti identified are far short of the number returned as found by the boatmen. The discrepancy can only be accounted for by supposing that they returned, as dead, parties who were afterwards recovered. The Coroner stated that the jury haelviewed7s bodies, which, with the four missing, pukes 79 in all. LONDON MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.—On WedneA day afternoon a numerous meeting of the friends of education wu held in the theatre of the Mechanics' Institution, Chancery-lane, for the purpose of promoting the erection of a new resding.room and an increase of the library of that Institution. Lord Broughain was in the chair, and among the noblemen and gentlemen on the platform were Lord Kinnaird, Lord Dudley Stuart, the Bishop of St. David's, W. Evart, Esq., M.P. ; and amongst the ladies was Miss Martineau. The Chairman said that the managers of the In. staution had convened the present meeting as an appeal to the public to relieve them from some difficulties into which they hid fallen. The Institution had had an average of one thousand members for many years, but a few months ago that nutit ;er was found to have sunk to six hundred, a number whose subscriptions alone would not suffice to maintain the ..... ...- Itistitulion in as efficient state. That diminution was to be attributed le the smallness of the library, and the want of sign. Aent accommodation for the readers. He had the most perfect confidence that an application to the wealthy classes would not be made in vain, and that the Committee would soon hare the means at making the improvements and additions they required. The meeting was next addressed by Lord Kinnaird, . Mr. Ewart, M.P., the Bishop of St. David's, Mr. Knight, Mr. J. S Buckingham, and others, and resolutions expressive of the importance of the pros. perity of the Mechanics' Institution were carried unanimously, as also a motion for opening a fund to make additions to the libraty. The following were am ngst the subscriptions an ,iounced :—Prince Albert, 201. ; the Marquis of Lansdowne, 25/. ; Charles Knight, Esq, (the publisher), 20/. ; the Hon. C. P. Villiers, 5/. ; Earl Ducie, 51. ; the Bishop of Durham, 5/. 56 ; and 0. Grote, Esq., 51. Thanks were then given to the Chairman, and if c meeting separated. _ _ MR. CHARLES MATHEWS AND HIS CREDITORS.- Mr. Commissioner Law, of the Insolvent Debtors' Court, has been engaged for two days (Monday and Tuesday) on the proof of debts ander the insolvency of Mr. Mathews in the year 1642. There is a sum of about 2701. in Court available for the creditors, and the proceedings took place before the Learned Commissioner in his room, as a preliminary step to the declaration of a dividend. Se veral creditors attended and proved, and others on the schedule who did not attend when summoned, were struck out of the list. Among the latter class were the proprietors of Covent-garden Theatre, who were inserted as creditors for 6,1661. as a balance of rent for a period of three years. Another large debt of 3,073/.,, connected with an annuity transaction was disallowed for the same reason. Messrs. Walmsley, Keightley, and Co., solicitors, at tended to prove for a sum of 2,269/., which claim was contested. A part of the debt was for professional business transacted for Ma dame Vestris before her marriage with Mr. Mathews ; and, after a long investigation, the matter stood over for further information: chapel, in b ha O s Tgitt been The debts on the schedule are 26,0001, of which ab out 10,0001. at present have been disallowed for non-attendance. It is ex. pected that the estate will pay a small dividen d—somethin g abo u t 6d. in the pound. THE it o ß h l i ac SW ri ed : n ar i hired by the Rev. R. C. Dillon, D.D., who-was suspended from his ministerial functions by the Bishop of London for three years, for certain irregularities, which made the Rev. Gentleman an object of rii . Friar. D str ß ee . t, ll s T o r e .o ni N ak .—The .rhoe., kf great notoriety at the time. His attempt to fix a charge of adul. tery on his wifb, and the proceedings taken thereon in the Eccle. siastical Courts in Doctors'-commons, must be fresh in the recol lection of our readers. The Rev. Dr. Dillon has not entered a pulpit or exercised any of his ministerial functions for five years. The Rev. Doctor intends opening the chapel as the " Free Church of England," and the services, with few exceptions, will be &salmi. lated to that of the Established Church. A. few seats in the "Free Church of England" are to be appropriated to the use of the poor, and the pews will be let to those who may choose to hire them. The Rev. Dr. Dillon was formerly minister of Charlotte. street Episcopal Chapel in Pimlico, and evening lecturer of St. James's Church, Clerkenwell. His talents are of a very high order, and before the lamentable exposures which took place he was a most popular preacher.

This order is of much importance, and will be virtually a repeal of the duty on " jewels set," as set forth in the tariff, and render the setting only liable to the ad valorem duty of 20 per cent. STATE OF THE Hop AND GAIN CROPS IN EAST KENT.—During the last few days a decided improvement has taken place in the appearance of the hop and grain crops in the eastern . parts of the county of Kent The poleing of the hops is generally completed, and the bines between Sittingbourne and Faversham look exceedingly healthy. Most of the shoots are upwards of half. a.yard in length, and the whole of them present a ready dispo. sition to twine round the poles, so that training is likely to commence very shortly t i t the weather is genial. The young wheat looks very fertile; peas look well, and the whole of the crop. ping between Rochester and Canterbury looks as well 'as can be de. sired. Pear-tree blossom is very prolific, but the apple-trees appear to be very backward in bursting into bloom, no doubt from the coldness of the season. The hawthorn is not yet out, but the black. thorn in the hedges presents a spring -like appearance. Some of the oldest gardeners in the \Veald prognosticate a plentiful supply of fruit and vegetables for the later spring and summer markets in London. The farmers complain most bitterly In this neighbour hood of the operation of the "sliding scale."
