PATENT PARAGON CAMPHINE LAMPS. The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has been happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings —a larger Ind a smaller farming a cone round the margin of the wick, which cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus condensing every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell, having perfect combustion, and in full action, emits a light equal to 16 wax candles.

This old, this ancient, and renowned inn has been paralysed by the railways, and, like its unlucky ne'gh. hours at Hounslow, cannot complain of having too much to do. It is now placed with Mr. George Robins to sell or let, or dispose of as he thinks fit, and we have his. authority for asserting a very good living is still to be made there by means of civility and industry. For in stance, beside a little coaching and some posting, they have three or four fiys constantly in employ. Very fre quently little 'snug dinners, a constant social evening party of the neighbours, and during the season the Four-in-Hand Club (that has numbered fifty years at this respectable old establishment) have eight or ten dinners, for which they pay well, and keep their ovo, wine deposited there, in cAlars of fine temperature, for which they pay a good yearly rent. Then the appoint ment oF the post-effiee adds twenty or thirty pounds a year to the" ways and means," besides so much of addi tional respectability. Poor old Harvey, better known as " Peter," was, during his reign, one 01 the first ai rs'es as a man cook in the kingdom ; indeed, so good, that George the Fourth used to send for him en great ocea siens; he it was who invented the celebrated sauce know by his name, he was always accounted a very obliging and very intelligent man, full of wit, and a great pet w ith the Club. It is reported of him, that some twenty-five year- ago, Mr. George Robins was dining there at a Cie a-ttL dinner with one relation only, that ater having partaken of many of the good things of cur host, Peter, in quired what ether delicacy th, y could think of, something to be very recherche, and being told they had already leaved boun:ifully, he said he had in his wind's -eye a dish they could not resist, one that would re.qtae the dyir.f; eqre,sof a departing uppJct le, and this was nothing more nor less than a Mantenon cutlet, done in Pe ttr's best. style. It must not be omitted to state a fact that wdl demonstrate the Black Dog is not on his last legs— on the day of the Ascot Cup, our fair hostess of the inn received a sum exceeding one hundred pounds.

SECRETARY—David Bartle. Esq. 6 45 10 0 4 0 5 30 Since the formation of the Company fbr making this railway, and the allotment of the Shares for that part of the line between Chelms ford and Bury, the practicability, paramount importance, and supe rior advantages of its plan have been so unequivocally recognised by the Board of Trade, and by the Committee of the House of Commons for the railways of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, that the Provisional Committee have determined to now, at once, adopt the extension of their line, originally projected, from Bury to join the Norwich and Brandon line at Thetford ; thereby to complete the shortest and best communication between London and Norwich, in the direction of the old road, through all the chief central towns of Essex and Suffolk, and at the same time to open a very direct communication with the great trunk lines of the north and wost. For these important objects, tcr to secured by an extension of only 12 miles, to connect Bury St. Edmund's and Thetford, the Provisional Committee propose to increase the capital 250,0001., by the issue of 10,000 additional shares; and, for Hill particulars of the entire plan, refer to their original prospectus. The Chelmsford and Bury line not having been projected in time to bring it before Parliament in the present session in a substantive form, it has been but imperfectly, and merely incidentally, in opposing other lines, that its merits could be at all brought under the notice of the Board of Trade or of the Committee of the House ; but the strong impression made, notwithstanding, in its favour, is obviously appa rent, both in the reports of the one and in the decisions of the other. The Board of Trade, in stating the considerations upon which it ad vised the rejection of the Norwich Direct line, reported (March 4th, 1845) that " It is necessary to advert to a railway called the Chelms ford and Bury Railway, projected, but not brought before Parliament, the plan, and section, and traffic tables of which have been submitted to the Board of Trade. This ra ilwa y appears to us to accommodate a more populous district than that intended to be traversed by the London and Norwich Direct Railway. Its section shows that it may be done at a moderate cost ;" (while) " there is a strong local feeling in its favraar, evinced by the memorials which have been re ceived by the Board of Trade from the inhabitants of Braintree, Halstead, Sudbury, and other places b e tween Chelmsford and Bury." The Committee of the House of Commons have since not only rejected the Norwich Direct and Bury and Cambridge lines, but the Chairman (Lord Sandon), previous to giving a decision against the Norwich Direct, took occasion to observe that "the Committee was decidedly in favour of the Chelmsford and Bury scheme." To these public testimonials in favour of the Chelmsford and Bury line, the Provisional Committee have the satisfaction of aiding, that by a special arrangement with the solicitor of the Eastern Counties Railway, they are assured of the concurrence and good offices of that important Company in the formation of their line. In allotting their original Shares, the Provisional Committee ne cessarily rejected numerous applications, of which it may be pre sumed that a considerable number were from parties as highly re spectable as any of those to whom Shares could then be given; and in the distribution of the additional Shares a reasonable preference will be given to original applicants, as well as to original Share holders. Applications for Shares, in the annexed form, may be made to the Secretary, at the Company's Offices, 61, Moorgate-street, Lon don ; to the Solicitors, or any of the Local Agents ; or to the fol lowing brokers :—Messrs.

RAILWAY FROM MACCLESFIELD, passing close to the Towns•of Leek, Cheadle, and Uttoxeter, to the Trent Valley Railway north of Lichfield. PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED. The Line will commence at the Terminus of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing-by the Rudyard Reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Conseil, thence close to Cheadle and Teen, and by Uttoxeter, Bagots Woods and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent Valley Railway north of Lichfield, communicating near there with one of the proposed lines from Dudley er Wolverhampton. A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct line for the London and Manchester traffic, uniting these two great termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing railways, will completely accommodate the local traffic, and throw open several extensive Coal fields and some thousand acres of Wood land to Manchester, the Potteries, and other great marts of the kingdom. This Line is also in some of its principal features the same as that already approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned by the Churnet Valley Company—will not comprise more than fifty miles of Railway, and passing through the centre of the unoccupied part of the district, does not Interfere with the Grand Junction or any other existing Railway. This and the proposed Line from Crewe to Derby will also well accommodate the Potteries, giving to that important locality a direct route to London, Birmingham, and the South, to Liverpool and the North, and to Derby and the East, and will also afford a transit for the Eastern counties traffic from Derby to Manchester. The co-operation of almost all the principal landowners from near Uttoxeter to near Lichfield having been ob tained, this portion of the line may be considered as secure. A most influential Provisional Committee, consisting of land owners and manufacturers, and others locally interested, will shortly be published. In the meantime references may be made to Matthew Gaunt, Esq., Hightield Rouse, Leek ; or to Thomas Turnor, Esq., Abbots Bromley near Uttoxeter. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.

The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham -RailKay, near Harrow, and passing to the north of Uxbridge, will proceed up the Valley by Chaltbnt, near Amersharn and Chesham to Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury; from Winch place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and approaching Brackley, will termin ate by a Junction with the proposed Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury. In addition to the line above described. it is intended also to con struct a Railway from the central station of the London and Bir mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through Bicester to Oxford; and in connexion with the line here proposed, the Bedford, and London and Birmingham Company, intend to make a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton. The proposed Buckingham and London and Birmingham Railway Company (for the construction of a llne from Wolverton to Bicester) is amalgamated with this Company. Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difficulty of importance presents itself. The undertaking has already received the sanction and support of a very large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of land through or near whose property it is intended to pass. It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation, and under the direction and superintendence of the London and Birmingham Railway Company; under a lease, in perpetuity, at four per cent. per annum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange ment as to the surplus profits. It is intended to offer the shares in such proportion as the amount of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London, Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway Company, subject to the approbation of the Committee of Management, with the exception of such as may be required for parties having local interests.

The Provisional Directors are desirous of informing the parties to whom Shares are allotted, that the following resolution lies been unanimously agreed to by the Board : " That interest after the rate of 4 per cent, per annum shall be paid upon the Ist day of January, and Ist day of July In each year, 'upon all calls paid up, on Shares duly registered for that purpose, to be paid until the opening of the Railroad at Calcutta, and that powers be taken in the Deed for that purpose, and that the liability of Sub scribers shall be limited to the amount of their several subscriptions."

The promoters of this Railway, encouraged by the favourable sup port which has been given to the project, and in compliance with various recommendations they have received, ha - e determined upon the addition of a branch to Birkenhead, which, although it will manifestly tend to the advantage of the Shareholders and the public, will be attended with comparatively little additional outlay. The project will still retain its chief characteristic of a direct railway, and by its connexion, near Warrington, with the Grand Junction is sufficiently comprehensive, without resorting to a com - Cploicmapatedn). system of branch lines, or materially conflicting with the in terests of existing companies. The line will commence at the city of Chester, and proceed by way of Trafford, Frodsham, and Preston Brook, to Warrington, thence by Ly m tn and Stretford direct to Manchester. From a point on the main line, near Frodsham, a branch will be taken to join the Chester and Birkenhead Railway, so as to unite Manchester in the most direct manner possible, with the docks now being formed at Bir kenhead. 3 way communication between S co tl an d and the most populous dis tricts of a:c an Chester, from a like cause, is the great centre of railway communication betwee n th e ca pit a ls of Ireland and of itsEng fucs geographical position, is the centre of rail land. To con nect t h ese two points by a direct and independent li ne of railway must , therefore, be of the utmost importance, not only in a local point o f view, but to the whole commercial intercourse o f the l g t i est edr,, so from he country. This line will be the most direct route, by Holyhead, to Ireland, and will be, in all respects, by far the preferable channel of inter course and transit between Ireland and the great manufacturing dis tricts of England. By the railways connecting Chester with Wrex ham, amestry, Shrewsbury, Hereford, Gloucester, and South Wales, this will be the nearest route from Manchester to the south-western parts of England, and to the mineral districts of Monmouth and Glamorganshire. The communication with Bristol, Gloucester, and E xe ter will be speedy and direct. On reference to the map, it win be seen that a very considerable distance will be saved by this line, as compared with the present circuitous routes by Crewe and by Birkenhead ; the former being 52 miles, and the latter 46 miles, while the proposed line is only 34 miles, saving in the one case 18 miles, and in the other 12 miles, besides the serious inconvenience, loss of time, and expense of Passing through Liverpool, and crossing the water at that place. It is confidently expected that this line will be the precursor of another scheme, of no ordinary importance—namely, to render Chester an efficient port for large vessels. This subject was entertained by Sir John Rennie in 1835, and sub sequently, in the same year, by the late Mr. Chapman, who wrote an able report upon the capabilities of the river Dee. It was again investigated, in 1837, by Sir John Rennie and Mr. George Remington, and the practicability of forming a good navigable channel for vessels of large burden, together with docks at Chester, was then ffilly and clearly established. The entrance channel would commence at Dawpool. which is easy of access (and infinitely preferab e, in point of access and safety, to the docks at Liverpool or Birkenhead), for vessels of large burden, during eight hours every tide, both at springs and neaps ; and the eill of the lock would be sufficiently low to admit vessels drawing 20 feet water to enter at all tides. This railway, therefore, in connexion with the proposed docks, will render to Chester and Manchester incalculable advantages. To the former it will restore the proper position natural to so important a city ; to the latter it will give another outlet, by sea, to the ma nufacturing districts, free of the heavy port charges, dues, and risks to which the produce is now subject. It has not been thought advisable to combine the two objects in one company at present, but should it be found requisite, the two may hereafter be amalga mated. Merits of no ordinary degree, therefore, may fairly be claimed for this railway, whether taken in connexion with the proposed docks, or as standing alone, combining as it does all the advantages of any other lines, with this great addition, that it will be the high road to the most convenient outport of Manchester, and will be quite inde pendent of any associations or influences that might tend to oppose the growing desire for a means of direct and independent communi cation between Manchester and the port of Chester. The line has been carefully examined. Th ere are n o difficult earth-works to be encount ered ; on th e contrary it will be cheap, and of easy formation. .Power is reserved t o t h e Commi t tee t o d e .
