The very great and peculiar advantages possessed by this Junc tion Railway over almost every other project that has passed Par liament, or is now before the Public, may be appreciated by an attentive perusal of the following facts :- Ist. The line, in an engineering point of view, is extremely fa vourable, being on a dead level nearly the whole of the distance, and is so admirably fitted for the construction of a Railroad as to elicit from H. Handley, Esq„ the Member for Lincolnshire, the following remarks on the peculiar advantages which the County possesses : " It was a matter of very clear calculation that the agricultural interest would benefit as much by the establishment of Railways as the manufacturing or any other interest in the country. It was commonly said that the farmers were half a century behind the rest of the community in improvement. If they were to neglect the great modern improvement of Railways, they would be a whole century behind. It was not a question now of Railway or no Railway; the only anxiety was the best line of Railway. The country was a dead flat ; and a Lincolnshire black smith and a Lincolnshire ditcher would be almost all that was ne cessary. A short time since a very strict and accurate experiment was made of the loss suffered by a drove of sheep in driving them to • London. It was found that there was a loss of 81bs. weight in each sheep. When he stated, also, that the loss on a bullock was from 255. to 30s. in driving it to London, the importance of Rail way communication would be at once perceived. He should add, that the time occupied in driving sheep from Lincolnshire to Lon don was eight days. Now here was a loss of time and produce to the agriculturist ! Supposing the farmer could send his stock by the Railway at the same cost as driving them, still there was the time saved. Instead of eight days they would be able to send their stock to London in as many hours : and do not let it be forgotten that their stock would arrive in London in a much better and more saleable condition ; and that the meat, instead of being, as iti now frequently is, from the driving, in a state unfit for food, would be in prime and wholesome condition. Do you think the agricul turists cannot understand this benefit? They would soon find that, if they neglected the advantage of Railway communication, while other districts enjoyed it, their prosperity would melt away, to use a Lincolnshire phrase, like tallow in the sun. So much for the carriage of Stock ; but the carriage of grain would be not less be neficial to the agriculturists, and profitable to the Company. 2d. The port of Hull, with its commodious and magnificent Docks, enjoys the greater part, and might enjoy nearly the whole, of the Baltic trade , and by being connected with Birmingham, and the great Iron Districts ; Staffordshire, and the Pottery Dis tricts ; Nottingham, Leicester, Derby, and the Manufacturing Districts (with the whole of which this Railway will immediately connect it), will possess facilities beyond those of any other Port, for the exportation of British raw and manufactured produce. 3d. This Railway will connect Hull with London by a journey of not more than eight hours, instead of the present dilatory and sometimes dangerous conveyance by steam-packets and coaches, occupying from thirty to thirty-six hours, and which carry thousands of passengers per week. 4th. The agricultural produce of Lincolnshire will be conveyed both south and north ; cattle, which now arrive in London in a sickly and wasted condition from the rich pastures of Lincolnshire, may be conveyed in a fat and health state ; and corn and wool will be transmitted to the great manufacturing districts of the West Riding of Yorkshire, by the junction with the " Hull and Selby," and " Selby and Leeds" Railways, for which Acts have already been obtained. sth. As the Railway will pass over the Great North Road at or near Newark, it will be the most direct conveyance, by its junc tion with the " Midland Counties Railway " and the " London and Birmingham Railway," from the Metropolis to any part of the north of the United Kingdom. 6th. During the summer season it will be the best route from London and the Midland Counties to the fashionable water ing-places--Scarborough, Burlington, &c., &c. In the winter it is certain that it will entirely supersede steam conveyance by water, which at present averages, between Hull and London, above 600 passengers per day. 7th. From the calculations that have been made from official sources, the present business between the points of traffic would more than pay the expenses, and allow a profit to the proprietors ; yet, in addition to the peculiar local advantages which the port of Hull, and the junction with the other railways afford it, Dr. Lardner has given evidence that the result of all the railways al ready completed, has been found, on an average, to quadruple the goods and passengers previously conveyed along the same line of road. Bth. No serious opposition can be anticipated from any quarter to this Railway, as the line is free from Gentlemen's seats, and does not interfere Nsith any other line completed or contemplated. The Map accompanying the Prospectus will convince every one who inspects it that no other Railway in the kingdom possesses so many local and commercial advantages.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION AT BRISTOL.—MOII - the members of this association are to assemble at Bristol. The Marquis of Bristol, as President, will receive the visits of his friend s at Mr. Moutrie's, in College-green, which has been fixed on as a convenient temporary residence for his Lordship. Many Noblemen and Gentlemen, eminent for their literary and scientific attainments, totally regardless of party distinction, are expected, amongst whom are the Mar quis of Northampton, Lords Ellenborough, Ebrington, and J. Russell, and, if his health will permit (which we most ear. hope), Lord Brough am , w i t h M r . S . Ri ce, Mr. T. Rev. A rc hd eacon B ow l es, D r. Southey, M . V o n n Aß 7 ao s uo t lrnrye, the e r ,B,e Sir R. Peel is expected to be chosen Presi dent of the next meeting, which will probably be held at Li verpool. Amongst other subjects of scientific research which will he brought before the Association, we see announced an important discovery by Mr. Mullins, M. P. for Kerry, of the establishm ent o f a new locomotive powe r, in the appro priation of g a l van i sm i nstead of steam in the propelling of ves sels and carria ges . Th e Theatre Roya l h as b een fitt e d up for the evening assemblies, at which ladies will attend, where an abstract of the proceedings of the day, in the different sec tions, will be read, and some of the most attractive experi ments repeated : the pit of the theatre has been floored over for a promenade, and there will be a daily ordinary at the Horticultural Room near Park-street, towards which Loral Bathurst has kindly offered to contribute one, and Sir J. Smyth two fat bucks.—Bristol Mercury. The people of Bristol deserve g reat credit for th e exertions they hav e ma d e t o b a ffl e the designs of the promoters of the Common Fields Inclosure Bill. In another column will be found " a case of the great towns against the Bill," which has been drawn up and printed in Bristol, and extensively distributed, and to which the public are in a great measure indebted for the improvement the Bill underwent in the Lords. iVIr. Leader presented last night the petition from Bristol which forms part of the case. It appears that the Bill, as originally introduced, applied only to "open and common arable fields," and that no opposition was made to it, on the express understanding that it should not be made at all to affect the rights of the inhabitants of great towns to frequent the commons in their vicinity ; but that upon a second recommitment the words " or any open and comnzon meadows orpastures" were introduced. So defective is the constitution of the House of Commons for matters of legislation, that it is well to have a se cond ordeal to which its measures should be subjected, though that ordeal may be the House of Lords. Ever since we have known any thing of the House of Coin mons, it has constantly happened that some Bill con taining most objectionable provisions has all but passed, and that the discovery of these clauses has been purely accidental. 'We remember when Sir Samuel Romilly, happening to look into the Spilsby Poor Bill, found, to his astonishment, that it gave to the master' of the workhouse the power to flog the paupers at his dis cretion. But all the objectionable Bills are not dis covered before they have become law ; for it not unfrequently appears that most obnoxious clauses are not discovered till years after the passing of the Acts containing them. By far too great facilities are given to rich men i n thi s country, to exc l u d e the public from all but the dusty high-roads. Twenty-five years ago, there was hardly a field to the south of the me tropolis for some miles through which there was not a path of some kind, and now every spot is inclosed. Year after year Bills are furtively introduced into that laboratory for all manner of fraudulent designs—the House of Commons, and the public are only made acquainted with the evil when it is too late to remedy it. What with the law, now fortunately repealed, allowing two justices to stop up footpaths, and with Bills like the one now under consideration, the open fields have almost disappeared round all our great towns.—Morning Chronicle. If ever there were a period in the fortunes of these realms when much depended upon the character of the Monarch, it is the present A weak or a voluptuous Sovereign, one who had no t t h e sagac i ty to compre hend his situation, or the strength of mind requisite to struggle with its difficulties, might, by blind, vacillat ing, or neglectful conduct, inflict at this moment such injury upon this famous and ancient kingdom as might require half a century to recover our curbed power, and revive our blighted civilization. Fortunately, we have upon the throne a patriot King—a Sovereign, keenly alive to the wants and necessities of his subjects, and resolved upon all occasions to act up to the full demands of his august and imperial duty. It is no phrase of course, to say that William IV. reigns in the hearts of his subjects. The throne of Albion was never filled by a Sovereign more ardently and more justly beloved. And his Majesty has gained this glorious property of a nation's devotion alike by the sympathy which he has always shewn for his people, and by exhibiting on all necessary occasions those great qualities which befit the ruler of a great nation—sagacity, decision, firmness, generosity, a love of truth, and a right royal courage. The English people feel, and they feel it with pride and joy, that their King is not a mere pageant of state, a mere illustrious personage, to be crowned on rare occasions with gems and jewels, clothed in velvet and ermine, and glide a glittering apparition in some gorgeous pro cession. The English people recognize with delight that their beloved Monarch is the most important and influential individual in the country, and that their renowned and ancient monarchy is a most powerful section of the State. The English Constitution has given the King of England, to use our popular phrase, " a will of his own ;" and William IV. is not one tamely to relinquish the constitutional discre tion with which our ancestors have intrusted him. It is his boast and happiness to exercise his prerogative for the welfare of his subjects. We know that we owe much to our King ; that he has on all necessary occa sions spontaneously come forward to protect the nation, whether it might be necessary to expel a band of boroughmongers from their nestling places, or to dis charge a discordant Cabinet bankrupt in every quality befitting statesmen. If there be at this moment, as in truth we believe there is, a most nefarious and unconstitutional stratagem on foot to inveigle his most Gracious Majesty into a step very injurious to his for tunes and to those of his dutiful lieges, we repeat the warning which we sounded yesterday, in a tone to which the whole country has responded, not from any idle idea that our popular and truly English Monarch requires at this conjuncture either warning or succour. We have in his Majesty's prudence and patriotism illimitable confidence. We are as certain as of our existence, that a Sovereign so distinguished for accurate know ledge of our Constitution as William IV., will never consent to the slightest action, or sanction the slightest phrase repugnant to the genius of that Constitution. King William IV. will do, as he has always done, his duty. No one knows it better ; no one can perform it more efficiently. But it is as well that the nation should be aware of the position of their beloved Sovereign, and of the difficulties which his Majesty has to encounter on their behalf. The people of England did not know that at this moment the King is fighting their battle ; the people of England must be prepared to rally round the throne. 'We claim for ourselves some right to the confidence and affection of the people of England. It is our highest gratification to feel that we possess them. We call, then, upon them, with no dread of their lukewarmness, to support the Sovereign ; and IN'e tell Lord Viscount M e lb ourne t h at t h e Ki ng an d his subjects have borne much, but that if his reckless Lordship have the aud ac ity to counse l hi s S o vere i gn to an act so insanely uncons ti tut i ona l as t o inflict a stigma on the estates of the realm for performing their constitutional duty, and in the very face of.sult the assembled Constitutio n o f th e coun t r y thus to insult its • its spirit, he will be the s illi es t Mi n i s ter since Polianac —Times. Like conscious criminals about to be called up for judgment, the Tories are quaking in anticipation of the King's speech, f ear i n g that some reflection should therein be cast o n th a t last sanctuary of politi ca l mis chief, the Ho use of Lords. .And well m ay th ey tremble at the trem e ndous respon s ibili ty they have incurred. They have not only falsified the promises which his Majesty made to his people on his opening of the Session, but they ha v e committed the grossest outrages on the ri g hts of the peopl e t h emse l ves, w h om they have slandered and maligned, and on whose re presentatives they have h eaped all manner of insult and contumely. These are offences, which, though f or a titne they may escap e with impunity, must sooner o r later encounter the penalty which they merit, as well from the insulted dionity of the Sover e i g n, as f rom the aggravated wrong committed . upon the people. How ever, seeing no chance of escape in the justice of their cause, they attempt to play the bully, and to charge the Ministry, whose measures of amelioration they have defeated, with the sterility of the Parliamentary session. " What has the Ministry done ?" asks the Times of yesterday, in an article evidently written under some potent stimulus, to which the writer appeared to have had recourse for the purpose or raising his cou rage to the sticking point, and which, in overcoming his apprehension, overthrew his reason at the same time. The maudlin advocate of Toryism forgot that in exposing the barrenness of the session, he was proving to conviction the guilt of those whose oppo sition to the intentions of the Ministry defeated the LAUNCH OF A NEW STEAM-SHIP. Yesterday another splendid new steamer, named the Clarence, and destined, we believe, for the Leith station, was launched at Blackwell, by the General Steam Naviga tion Company, from the yard of Messrs. Green and Wigram, the builders. She was christened by Lord Adolphus Fitz clarence, from whom she takes her name. She is the fifth steamer which this spirited and national Company have launched during the present year, the four others having been the Caledonia, Girafe, Ocean, and Countess of Lons dale, averaging 700 tons each. The number of steamers belonging to the Company now in active service is not less than forty. Previous to the launch Lord A. Fitzclarence and the other visitors inspected the Clarence minutely, and appeared much struck with the strength of her frame and the character of the workmanship. She is, in point of size, the second or third steam-ship which has been built, and is considered to be in form and construction one of the most perfect vessels ever completed. Her actual admeasure ment is about 800 tons. Her length is 182 feet, with 29 feet beam, and she has a large and very commodious poop deck. The engines, of 250-horse power, with six feet stroke, are in readiness at the Company's factory, and will be immediately fixed in the ship, which is expected to be ready for sea in six weeks. The Monarch, which is the largest anti finest steam ship hitherto constructed for commercial purposes, and the Menai, well known for her elegance and speed, both be longing to the General Steam Navigation Compary, also attracted the attention of the visitors, who went on board, and were welcomed by Captain Bain with his accustomed frankness and hospitality. The beautifully arranged accoma modations of the Monarch, and the yacht-like appearafte of the Menai, excited general admiration. The band of the Blues commenced playing at three o'clock, soon after which hour the Ocean steamer, gaily de corated, and crowded with spectators, anchored near the wharf ; having also on board another military band, which played alternately with the former. At about four o'clock the launch was effected in beautiful style, amidst the cheers of an immense concourse who crowded the banks ; and at five, the Directors and their guests, to the number of seventy, sat down to an elegant entertainment Ont the Bruns wick Hotel. After the usual toasts of the King, Queen, and Royal Family, The Chairman, Mr. W. ATTWOOD, in proposing " The health of Lord Adolphus Fitzelarence," said it was unne cessary for him to detain them by expressing at length the acknowledgments that all were ready to tender to the Noble Lord for the gratification he had afforded them in presiding at the ceremony of the day. His Lordship, as a distinguished member of the British navy, would, he was satisfied, concur with him in the wish that the happy union which had hitherto subsisted between the navy and the commercial marine might in like manner for ever maintain the supremacy and prosperity of the empire; and with re gard to the latter service, he felt entitled to say that the numerous steam-vessels which now traversed the seas in all directions formed no unimportant portion of it. In the event, too, of another war, he felt convinced that they would constitute an effective power whether for aggressive or de fensive operations, and would, by their assistance, con tribute to render the naval triumphs of Great Britain more brilliant than ever. Lord A. FurzcLARENcE said he entirely coincided in the feelings and opinions of the Chairman. There never had been, nor would there ever be, any jealousy between the two branches of the marine service. He proposed " Prosperity to the Steam Navigation Company, and suc cess to the Clarence wherever sh goes." Mr. ATTWOOD returned thanks, and proposed " The health of the ladies present," saving that if the number of bright eyes which had smiled upon the proceedings of the day might be deemed a favourable omen, no vessel was ever sent upon the waters under more cheering auspices than the Clarence steamer. _ _ Several other appropriate toasts were drunk, and th© party broke up at 8 clock. Among the company present at the launch and the din ner were :—Lady Eleanor Lowther, Mr. Orby Hunter, Mrs. Orby Wombwell, Lady Wheatley, an d two Misses Wheatley, Colonel and Mrs. Bouverie, Sir R. and Lady Campbell, Sir C.

N EW STRAND THEATRE.—On Monday night a m usical burletta called Innocent Sins was produced at this theatre. The scene lies in Spain, and the plot binges on the intrigues of two grandees, who fall in love with each other's wives, and who are each drawn into a private interview with a veiled lady, who turns out to be his own lawful partner. With the laugh of the ladies at the expense of their husbands the piece concludes. The plot is stale enough ; the dialogue is flat and heavy ; and where any attempt at wit occurs, it too frequently indeed borders on indecency. The music was of of an indifferent order, and sung with a noble disregard of tune. The only situation calculated to cause a laugh was, when the two husbands see one another each in his (the spec tator's) balcony, and attempt to fight a duel across the street. However, one situation is not enough to carry off a long piece, and even the exertions of that clever actor Hammond, who performed a pert Spanish valet, of the Figaro class, were scarcely sufficient to produce a smile. The part of a lady's maid was well acted by Miss Daly. Of the rest we say nothing. - - CECILIA DAVIES.—We have to record the death of this once-celebrated vocalist, which took place early in July, at a very advanced age. She had been bedridden for a long time, and existed on a pension of 251. per annum from the Be nevolent Institution, with a donation from the Royal Society of Musicians, and an occasional trifling present from a few old friends who knew her in better times. She was conveyed to her final home attended only by an old nurse and a faithful do mestic, though she had created some sixty rears ago, as much sensation, when prima donna at the King's The a t re , as Mali bran and Grisi do now-a-days I And she had the honour of giving instruction to three daughters of the Empress Maria Theresa, who afterwards became Queens of France, Spain, and Naples.—Musical World. THE OPERA S_EAsoN.—...Lapo r t e , on w i n di ng up the accounts of the King's Theatre for the season just closed, finds so considerable a balance in his favour that he is again comparatively a rich man. The sum is differently stated, and we have heard it named within the last two days from 5,000/. to 25,0001. The l ast i s certainly a gross exaggeration, and the first is considerably below the truth. The expenses last season were very heavy it is true, but the receipts were very large, and sometimes, especially on benefit nights, beyond the apparent sum in the house, calculating from the number of auditors ; no night occurred after Easter when the sum taken at the d oors was not muc h b eyon d the c h arges . Centuries almost may pass b e f ore f our suc h fi ne s i ngers as Grisi , Rubini, Tamburi n i, an d L a bl ac h e , are pro d uce d, m uch less combined, in the sa me o p era . W e are lik e l y t o have Taglioni among us again next year. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, AUGUST 16.-- We have bad a good demand for cotton to-day, and full prices have been obtained. Sales above 3,000 bags. ishes of the people, and robbed them of th.elimiefits ie reforms proposed at the commencement: OP the ;ion. He even boasts of the mischief whielr'hii Tons have perpetrated, and parades the opposition of Lords as a /Spectacle of admiration to the very le upon whose rights they have so insolently ppled. But this is not all. After asserting in to plain terms that his Majesty was guilty of a lie in giving utterance to " the promises foisted into - tile royal mouth. some six months back, and the then estimates of the national position and prospects," our Contemporary attempts to conciliate the favour of his Majesty in behalf of the Peers by the most absurd and disgusting flattery—if flattery it can be called, which attributes to the Sovereign feel ings adverse to the interests and wishes of the people. It is our respect for the Monarch that induces us to put the public on their guard against the gross misre presentations whiCh would make him a party to the iniquitous opposition which faction arrays against na tional improvement. If the Times would be content to amuse its readers with its usual amount of abuse against the supporters of Reform, we should not per haps think it necessary to allude to observations which, however i n d ecent or malevolent, generally bear their own antid o t e ; b ut when it attempts to involve the Sovereign i n t h e danger which impends over those who oppose the consummation of the national will, it is time for every friend of the throne ti rally round its occupant and protect him from the machina tions of his and his people's enemies. If his Ma jesty's speech shall not embrace a direct censure on the conduct of the Peers, it is at least essential that it should disclaim, in the strongest and most unequivocal terms, all participation in the sentiments which actuate that intolerant and infatuated body. The Peers have drawn such a distinct line of demarcation between themselves and the people, that it is impossible any longer to preserve an identity of interests or feelings between the House of Lords and the friends of popu lar government. We do not wish unnecessarily to mix up the Royal authority in the struggle, especially as the people 'have ample powci.in 4-hemselves secure the victory by their own unassisted abets—but if the Sovereign be forced to declare himself, we have the fullest confidence that his inclinations will harmonize with his duty, his interest, and his safety, and that he will not desert his people in their hour of need. Heaven forbid that William IV. should ever be found leading on the forlorn hope of a faction whose days are already numbered !—Morning Advertiser.
