Preliminary surveys have been made, and it presents no engineering difficulties, and is remarkably favourable for cheap construction. This line is especially called for by the local wants of 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, Ithyader, LlAnidloes, Newtown, Bishop-Castle, Montgomery, Welehpool, Llanflyllin, Dolgelly, Llan gollen, Rhuabon, Chirk, Overton, Oswestry, Ellesmere, Wem, Frees, Whitchureh, Audlem, and Nantwich, to the Stafforeshire 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 he 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 dire ctl y 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, &e., with Manchester. The existing traffic is very considerable, and a glance at the ac companying map will show 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. rower 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.

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 sa'utary effects have 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 diet or use of medicine. Many thousands of chil lren 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. In 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.

This important line of railway _will commence near the Midland Counties Station at Nottingham, whence, after crossing the navi gab!e River Trent, the line will proceed through or near Bridgeford, Holme, E ttcliffe, and the Intermediate villages, Bingham, Bot tesford, Whatton, Elton, the rich and fertile Vale of Belvoir, to the tow of Grantham, thence passing through or near Folkingham aad Bourn, or one of them, to Spalding, Long Sutton, Sutton-bridge, and King's Lynn,andthere joining the intended Lynn and East Dereh am Railway, will form the meet direst line of connexion be tween the Eastern Counties, and the great and populous manufac turing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and 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 Lincolnshire, 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 ; iu short, the vast mieeral wealth of the Midland District, will be ren dered available to the whole of the great agricultural country East of :gottingham. Surveys are now in p rogress, 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 Line from Spalding or Long Sutton to Wisbeach, will also form a portion of the scheme. The Report of the Board of Trade on the Lines through Lincoln shire, says " The total cost attending the transmission of ti 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 14(1. 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. Gd., thus showing a benefit to the corn growers and to the public of 3s. Gd. 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 Me owing to the delay and difficulty of transmission, the Fanner is come pelled 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 manufketuring districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire. The great quantity of land, amounting to 100,000 acres, about tote redeemed from the sea by a company, with Sir John Rennie, as Engineer ferthe promoters, anti Mr. Rendel, for the Corporation of Lynn, must ultimately prove of groat 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.

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, Bulwell, Nuthall, Kimberley, Watnall, Greasley, Newthorpe, Eastwood, Beaverlee, Brinsley, Sel stone, Codnor, Butterley, Pentridge, Ripley, Heage, Hartsay, to Am. ber-gate, and thus passing through a densely populated district, in exhaustible in its mineral resources, and from whence an immense degree of local tramc 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 one to every three.

Among the 10,000 in Use, they have been adopted by the offizial 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 bet rwarded by post), free 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 rage 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. Are you working men inclined to be the encouragers and the dopes of such. dealing? Are you disposed to assist these men in grinding the faces of the poor?

This line, which will commence at Leicester, and proceed- from thence by or near to Market Ilarborough, Bothwell, Kettering, Wel lingborough, to Wilford, 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, Nottingham, 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 grating land in the kingdom, and will &rive a considerable traffic in the conveyance of cattle from thence to the London markets.

The numerous applicants for Shares, if they agree with these alter ations, will be pleased to renew their applications. Further Information may be received by applying to Joseph Cary, Esq., Solicitor to the Company, 52, Moorgate-street, • London ; or to J. J. Teesdale, Secretary. 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 hi price at least 501. per cent. Se soon as the surveys are 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 a 44 per cent. upon the amount paid up until the opening of the line. Tim 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.

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, en 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. Tile 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 find 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 Asstfrance Plan (as gene rally acted on) is the high rate of premium required to be paid, in the flat instance, in order to form a Rind—not only for the payment of the claims, but also for the distribution of largebonuses 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 s at tended o u l rs e operationsoti tli the extraordinaryothenrlacer?, Life its whichsuAssurance a iuc hithertoe Company, lt as trust T shall, at no very distant period, have still thriller to congratu late them on the complete success of the Mutual Assurance Branch, Idvaattention, benefit t s a b n e d en acc fo o U m n l d u e o d . which, aanft calc u la t ed, r tllemost the public. I cannot, in justice to the Directors, conclude this address without ios t in anxio us every possible c arean calling your attention to the able and cordial co-operation which has been afforded to me on their part, not only on the present important occasion, hut also in every other instance in which their advice and assistance have been needn't for promoting tile interests of the esti , tutiou.

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 Moneervo, 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 that there are no engineering , difficulties of importance to overcome, and the traffic of the country is even now so great, that no reasonable doubt cad exist as to the lucrative nature of this investment. The improved state of affairs in the Peninsula will eventually ensure the extension of this line to the ancient and populous city of Sala manes, and the very heart of Spain. It is difficult to estimate the beneficial results of the completion of such a line. An immense dis trict of the most fertile country In Europe will be brought into imme diate contiguity with the sea-coast, and thence, by consequence, with England and all the maritime nations of the world. The Provisional Committee avail themselves 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. • In a few days the Pr6vlsional Committee will place before the public a detailed Prospectus.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, May 9. :Middlesex Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice Ent and Common Juries.) B ROOM E V. GOBDEN. This was an action of libel. The plaintiff is the landlord of a public.house called the Rising Sun, in Ayr-street, and the defendant is the printer of the Era newspaper- The alleged libel represented that the plaintiff had given information of a fight which was to come off on the 13th of August last, between two persons named Smith and Sizmons, wear Melton, and that his object in giving the Information was for gain, as he had a large interest in one of the parties. It was also stated in the same newspaper that a man had been hocussed and robbed in the plantiff's public.house, and that the plaintiff's disgraceful affair with George Norley, and other shameful acts, were not for. gotten. Special damage was alleged, and two witnesses were called to prove that in consequence of the statements in the Era they have abstained from staying at the plaintiff's house on the occasion of their coming to London. On the part of the defendant, it was contended that he was not liable for the statement which had appeared in the newspaper, in asmuch as it was contained in a letter bearing the signature of " A Lover of Honest Sporting," and was accompanied by some observations of the editor doubting the truth of the represer.ta. tions, and stating that the newspaper was open for the insertion of any observations in explanation that the plaintiff liked to make. It was also contended that the statement relative to the hocussing cast no imputation upon the landlord of the public-house. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, with damages Is., on the issue which was undefended, and for the defendant on the other issues. The Learned Judge refused to certify. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Mai 9. 'Nisi Prius Sittings at Westminster, before Baron PLATT and a Common Jury.) - MEREDITH V. MEREDITH —SEDUCTION. Mr. ALEXANDER, with Mr. Keating, appeared for the plaintiff, who, it was stated, was a farmer and dairyman residing at Twerton, near Bath, and complained in this action of the seduction of his daughter by the defendant, who was also the son of a farmer at Brislington, near Bristol, under circumstances of great aggra vation. The plaintiff and the defendant's father were first cousins, and this connexion occasioned a close intimacy between the two families. So far back as the year 1842, the defendant made overtures of marriage to Elizabeth Meredith, the elder daughter of the plaintiff; but no time was agreed upon, and the intimacy between the parties continued up to the month of January, 1844. In that month the mother of the defendant died, and the plaintiff's wife went to the defendant's father's house, and stayedthcre until after the last offices were performed to the de. fendant's mother. The defendant then brought home the plain tiff's wife in a carriage, and at the same time proposed that the plaintiff's eldest daughter, Elizabeth, st.ould return with him, to take charge of his father's house, and that in about six weeks, or as soon as decency permitted, he should marry her. Under those circumstances, the plaintiffand his wife consented to their daughter going to the defendant's father's house. For a while the iefen. dant treated the young woman with respect, but shortly after com menced taking personal liberties with her, and then wholly refused to perform his promise of marrying her. She left the defendant's house, and returned to her father's in April, and in October last was delivered of a female child, of which defendant was the father. The defendant had not contributed in any respect to the expenses consequent upon the young woman's pregnancy, and, under those circumstances, the father asked compensation from the jury for the dishonour of his family, and the loss of his daughter's services. Elizabeth ltferedi‘th was then examined, and gave her testimony in so low a tone, with so Touch reluctance and apparent embarrass. ment, that very little she said was heard. She stated that she was tw•enty.tfve years of age, and the defendant thirty-five years of age, and that he effected his object above a fortnight after she went to live at his father's, in the kitchen, on a Sunday night, after supper, and when the rest of the family had gone to bed. On cross-examination the witness admitted that she had brought an action for breach of promise of marriage against the defendant. She positistsy denied that she had any uttter sweetheart but ,the defendant, fir knew any other man. The person at whose house the plaintiff's daughter was confined, and a sister and brother of the young woman, were also examined.. Mr. Ii UM Flan' (with whom was Mr. (;ray) then addressed thejury for the defendant, in mitigation of damages. He admitted, after the evidence the jury had heard, that there must be a verdict for the plaintiff; but the defendant lived with and was wholly depen dent upon his father ; and if the jury gave a severe verdict, whilst it would ruin the defendant, it would do no service to the plaintiff, as the defendant must go to gaol. Baron PLarr, in summing up, observed that, though the defendant asked for mercy at the hands of the jury, he ought to have thought a little of the mercy due to a father's feelings who had entrusted his daughter to his charge. The defendant seduced the plaintiff's daughter in a house where he ought to have felt himself bound to protect any Werratl, and still more a relation residing there tinder such circumstances. The jury, however, shou'd endeavour, in estimating the damages, net to allow their feelings to influence them in giving what might be called rind's , . tire damages. lie was hound, also, to tell them that they were not entitled to give any damages in respect of the breach of pre. mist of marriage. After a short consultation, the foreman said that eleven of the jury agreed, but one could not be got to agree to a verdict. Baron PLATT—WeII, Gentlemen, retire, and discuss the matter. That is owe of the advantages.of trial by jury. A juror said he thought the plaintiff and his wife had both per. mit ted the young woman to go to the defendant's house. Baron PLATT—Yes; hut they did not consent to his debauching their daughter. Juror—:No; but they put her very much in the way of it. The jury then retired, and in ten minutes returned with a verdict far the plaintiff—Damages, 911. 6s. 9d. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A JACK IN ASP A JACK OITT OF OFFICE.—A tall, gaunt, grizzle-haired man, who was immediately recognised as John Daniels, otherwise Long Jack, one of the Haymarket watermen, ascended the rostrum assigned to applicants who have grievances to redress, and throwing a proper quantity of " the dismals" into his face, waited until he could catch the eye of justice. Well, my man, said Mr. HARDWICK, what do you want ?—• Vants to know how I'm to get my third of the pump vat ye rater men put up and paid for in the Haymarket; cos, yer Vership, Mister Mansell's taken avay my Haymarket badge and license, for giving hevieence agin Ratcliffe, wot's one of his own relations. As a preliminary step to afford a clear insight into the character of the application, it will be necessary to state that, a few weeks ago, a constable connected with the Metropolitan Hackney Car. riage Office, named Ratcliffe, was brought to this Court for drunken ness and misbehaviour. The charge of intoxication was mainly established by the applicant, who had treated the constable to a propitiatory glass of gin. I got a letter from Mr. Mansell, wot belongs to the Hackney Carriage Office, t'other day, yer Vership, said the applicant, sum. moning me afore him, and telling me to bring my badge and license. Ven I goes, says he, " Daniel, we put another man in your place as vorterman in the Haymarket." " Hope," says I, "there aiat nuffin agin my character.' " No,'' says be, "nut nuffin vot. somhever ; but," says he, " I sha'nt take away your license alto gether. I shall move you to the London.bridge rank " " It's werry hard lines," says I, " to have my bread taken from my mouth cos I only spoke the truth agin your relation. There's my badge and license, andl'll resign ; but vot about my third of the pump, vot I paid seven pound odd for." " Settle that there vith the man vot superscribes yer," says he; but yen I axes this here man wot is appointed to be my predecessor, he says he vont pay a farden. Mr. HattnwicK—Well, and how can I assist you ?—Vy, you see there's a third of the pump and buckets, my natteral sights, cos I can show my receipt for the money. No spose this here, that 1 ketches the new man a using my third of the pump, and my third of the buckets, and my third of the eater, and I stands up to petted my own property, and one of the meterloUoping police constables brings me afore you for sumrnut, vot'll your Vership do to me ? Mr. HAROWICK—I canna give any opinion on a hypothetical case. If you have any complaint, why not see Mr. Wedgewood, the Commissioner ? Applicant—Mr. Vedgwood's too grand to see sich as us. Mr. Mansell does all the hoffice vork, and it an't no use axing him. But, yer Vership, it's a bard case to be turned out of my place, vot I've bad so long , f or speaking the truth I've got a few clothes and a few little s ti c k s—them's wot I must live on, and yen they're gone, and they won't last werry long, I've nuffin afore me but the union. Mr. IlAnowicK—l should recommend you to lay your case i>a a memorial bcfore the Commissioner.. From what I know of Mr. Wedgewood's high sense of honour and justice, 1 am certain he never would sanction, on the part of a subordinate, any act of petty tyranny or oppression. The countenance of " Lorg Jack " brightened up, he thanked the magistrate, and left the Court. _....__ - THE CRESCENT AND THE CROSS; OR, ROMANCE AND REALITIES ,F EASTERN TRAVEL. By --LIOT 1 :V ARP.URTON, ESQ.—A second edition of this work has just appeared. The Oundterly Reniew, in notic ing it, observes, ‘• This book is vastly superior to the common run of narratives, and is indeed remarkable for the colouring pnwer and the play of fancy with which its descriptions are enlivened. The writing is of a kind that. indicates abilities likely to command success in the higher- departments of literature - . Almost every page teems with good feeling; and although that ' catholic heartednnss' for which the author takes credit permits him to view Mahometan doctrines and usages with a little too much of indifferentism, yet arriving in Pales tine, he willingly becomes the good pilgrim, and at once gives in his adherence to the ' religion of the place' with all the zeal of a pious Christian. The book, inde pendently of its value as an original narrative, comprises .much iu , eful and interesting inforniation."
