His proeramme for the season shows that the Patronage which has hitherto been bestowed upon this tatre has only acted as a stimulus to him to cater more e'Reienty fur the amusement of the public.

Here we were treated in the most hospitable manner by the officers. Quarters were allotted to us on shore , and we lived at the garrison mess. By the by, I have not told you who were in charge of our boats. They were liar vey and Pym. Other strange things have occurred ; two or three days after we left Booby Island, two ship wrecked crews arrived there within a few hours of each other, they saw the letters we had left, and one party was not long in following our example, and you may judge of our surprise, and that of the other good,folks at Port Essington. on perceiving a large boat with evidently a vhipwrecked crew in her, come spanking up the harbour. They told us a large party were still on Booby Island, and while I write there is a schooner coming into port full of people, most likely the very party. The names of the two vessels wrecked are the Hyderabad and Coringa Packet. The most melancholy event is connected with the latter vessel; she was wrecked on a reef encircling a sand bank, some hundreds of miles outside the Barrier reef, and never before seen. Her boats were not able to bring a!1 the crew, so 22 (all sepoy s) were left behind on the sand bank. They have provisions enough left with them to last six months with proper economy, but their situation is certainly not an enviable One. Per haps it will be a job for the Prince George to lick them off, but the sandbank is directly in the wind's-eve from this, and it will be a hard tug to get there. The two wrecked crews now in Port Essington (for this schooner proves to have the .remainder from Booby Island on board) are 76 in number, making with our boats' crew and officers, a total number of 91 British subj,cts, a cir cumstance which of itself shows the value of this esta blishment even as a place of refuge alone.

On the 27th of March last, Mme. Sat;val, a widow in the 88th year of her age, living at Petit-Montrouge, was found dead in her apartment, with a severe wound on the back of her head, and other contusions and and bruises about her person, which led to a suspicion that she had been murdered. She resided in an apart ment of the house of a married man with two children, named Saulnier, a clerk in the Marie of the Ist atron dissement of Paris, who, in consideration of I,ooofr. paid by her to him, granted her an annuity of 100 f. a year, which was paid by him partly in giving her the apartment at the rate of 60f. a ye: r, although it was well worth 250 f. per annum, and in regularly handing to her the remaining 40f. in cash. The Saulnier family, who were very old friends of the deceased, were her only attendants, as she had no servant, and also supplied her gratuitously with fruit or vegetables from their gar den. They, however, had every reason to believe that they would be more than remunerated by her will, as she was known to have at her disposal some little property de rived from her savings. This interest in her death and the other circumstances we are about to relate, first induced a suspicion that she had been murdered by Madame Saul nier, at the instigation, or at least with the knowledge and connivance, of her husband. They were arrested, exami nations were taken, and, finally, they were committed to take their trial for wilful murder, which commenced on Friday last before the Court of Assizes, and was con tinued till Sunday night. The prosecution was con ducted by M. Glandaz, the Advocate-General, and the prisoners were defended by Messrs. Cremieux and Blot- Duquesne. The facts and circumstances on which the accusation was founded and supported were, in addition to the knovm interest the prisoners had in the death of Mine. Sauval, that about ten on the morning of the fatal day, Mme. Sauval went out of her apartment into the village, and bought some salad an d a b un dl e o f wood, which latter purchase a lad carried home immediately afterwards, and sawed into pieces in her presence in her dining-room, and then left her ; since which time she was not seen outside of her door, nor was any stranger seen to enter her apartment. About half-past two o'clock Mme. Saulnier sent :her daughter, a girl twelve years old, up to Mine. Sauval, who lived on the first floor, to thread ber needle according to custom, and asked whether she wanted anything, but although the girl knocked so loud that some of the other tenants came out of their rooms to inquire what was the matter, no answer was given by Mme. Sauval, nor did her little dog bark, as it usually did on such occasions. At fire o'clock her girl, Esther Saulnier was sent up again, made the same noise, but still without any answer. Soon afterwards, Mme. Saulnier went down to the porter, and requested him to come and see what had happened to Mme. Sauval, as she, Mme. Saulnier, could perceive through a window that she was lying on the floor of her dining-room. Having received from Mine. Saulnier a second key of Mme. Sauval's outer door, which she always kept that she might enter when she pleased, Lereux the porter went in and found the poor old woman lying lifeless, but still warm, on the floor of the dining-room, with her head against a chest of drawers in a small pool of blood, which had issued from a wound at the back of cn pa!dtes, OCI' S 64 Thor sub' i s to d t" ted in' tbe be h' e f insteau or rg inee t. u in e%"° 1 t hen ..11( • o dOU ,rt m • ge ciu g • 'tear ib en t", 5: nog et 1 th e r he do sv, -tea ° e 1 /3ea ° bY du d ce Ares hjgh le xt i the) le ng the s od engine the skull. Mine. Saulnier took no steps whatever on hearing this report from Lereux, but waited till the return of her husband, who went to the proper authori ties to give the usual notice of the death, preparatory to the interment, but as he stated the circumstances of the case, the magistrate caused a regular inquest to be taken. The medical man called in to make the autopsy of the body reported that the death must have been caused by blows with a blunt instrument, for, independent of the wound in the head, there were other injuries about the per son, which not only proved this, but showed that the de ceased] had made some resistance. In various parts of the apartment were found money, and securities for money, and also a small quantity of plate, in situations evidently chosen by the deceased, nor was there the slightest tokens of any robbery having been committed. There were no marks of blood on the face, or any other part of the person or clothes of the deceased, nor even upon the cap, which was found on her head, and, there fore, on the conviction of a murder having been perpe trated, it was presumed that the guilty person had changed the dress of the deceased after the deed was done, having first washed away all the blood, which must have been shed on the floor, except the compara tively small quantity that was near the head, and then laid the body in the position in which it was found, in order to give the idea that Mme. Sauval had dropped down in a fit, and killed herself by striking her head against the drawers. It was reported that the deceased had shown discontent at being so far from her friends in Paris, and intimated an intention to remove, and this was imputed to the Saulniers as an additional motive for their cruel act, fearing that her Paris friends might induce her to alter her will, and thus deprive them of the benefit they expected from it. It was further declared that the statement of Mine. Saulnier that she had seen the deceased lying on the floor of her dining-room was false, as it was, from the situation of the two apartments, impossible. In the course of the cross-examination of the witnesses much of this presumptive evidence was completely rebutted, and much rendered at least very doubtful. On the part of the prisoners it wss shown that none of the clothes of the deceased, supposed to have been worn by her when killed, had been found, nor could there be traced the slightest bruise - or scratch on the person of Mine. Saulnier, from the struggle which the medical men stated must have taken place when the deed was done, nor the smallest spot of blood upon any of the garments of Mme. Saulnier which she had on at the time ; nor was it attempted to be proved by any evi dence that she had quitted her own apartment from the time when Mme. Sauval returned with the wood till the discovery of her death. Mme. Saulnier accounted for her not giving her daughter the second key, to go into the deceased's apartment, by affirming that this key was never used but when Mine. Sauval was too ill to come and open the door herself. It was further proved that the de ceased was liable to fits, had fallen down in them before, and had been kindly and attentively nursed by Mme. Saulnier. A number of witnesses gave most excellent characters to both the prisoners, and the notary, who made the deceased's will, distinctly deposed that, whatever they might have expected, neither the Saulniers nor any one else knew the dispositions she had made of her pro perty, and that what she did give to that family was for the children, and not to either of the parents. Notwith standing the evidence for the prosecution was so much weakened and shaken, the Advocate-General strenuously insisted in his requisitory that the case was proved, and called for the conviction of both prisoners. The counsel for M. and Mine. Saulnier exerted themselves with great zeal and judgment in their behalf throughout the arduous proceedings of three long successive days, and delivered most eloquent addresses to the jury. The pleadings and summing up of the President were not concluded till half•past ten o'clock on Sunday night, when the jury retired, and after remaining half an hour, returned and delivered a verdict of Not Guilty in favour of both prisoners upon every count of the indictment.— Galignani. - - [ADVERTISEMENT.]—Instruments' for Sight and Hearing sent in the country by post.

This undertaking is projected by influential local interests to supply the requirements of tile above important district; and a reference to the map will show that it will also comp lete the communicatio n be tween York, Leeds, and the intermediate towns in the most direct course with London. The surveys have been mad e by Sir John Mac neill and James Thompson, Esq., an d the country is f ound to be fa. Ps, no line of such vourable to the construction of a railway, and to require her tun nels nor heavy embankments; and there is, perha importance which could be constructed at comparatively so small en expense as the sum named in the estima te. The length of the line will be but about thirty-nine y-ni ne miles y ; and b means of this short link, in connexion w it h existing project s from Nottingham, a saving will be effected between Leeds and the metro polis exceeding thirty miles. It will commence at the projected terminus of the Wakefield, Pon tefract, and Goole Railway, at Pontefract , and from thence . proceeti through Doncaster, Tickhill, and Worksop, to the terminus of the Diensfield, and Midland Counties Railway, at Mansfield thereby completing, by means of the York and North Midland Rail way, the shortest route from York to Nottingham and London. It will also, by the proposed extension line of the Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole, from the York and North Midland, near 3lethley, ionn the nearest line betvveen Leeds, Nottingham, the Midland and South ern Counties, and by tile Goole and Doncaster line, an uninterrupted communication with Goolo and the shipping ports of the Humber. It will also form a means of communication with the several pro_ jected lines, to the rising port of Great Grimsby. It is a remarkable feature in this line, that there is no competing scheme, nor does it at all interfere with any ornamental or residen tial property. It is not considered essential to enter into the details of traffic+ ; the value of the lines in the district, in that respect, is a sufficient test of its sztent, in addition to,which, the railway will becalm the recipient of much of the northern traffic, arising from the numerous branches with which it is connected. A preference will be given in the allotment to the shareholders in the adjacent Application for shares may be made in the usual form, to the Se cretary; solicitors; Messrs. Thompson and Debenham, Salters'-hall, London, and to the local agents, and the following brokers : —London, Taunton and Bush, Austin-triars ; Mr. H. Pritchett, 74, Old Broad street ; and Mr.T.C.

At this point there are th ree passes, which have been inspected, and it remains for the engineer to select one as an entrance or passage into the Vale of the River Den, when the line will proceed round by Corwen into the Vale of the River Alwen, from whence it will run nearly parallel with the great Holyhead Nail-teach-road, by Pentre voelas to Capel Cerrig, it will then descend the Vale of Nant Francon o Bangor and Holyhead. This line will in its progress feed, and be also fed by the most consi siderable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, and Bristol; the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton ; the London and Birmingham ; and the South Staffordshire Railway. As this last line will connect Dudley, Bilston, Wednesbury, Walsall, and Lichfield with the Derby Railway and the Grand Junction Railway, it would be superfluous to expatiate on the advantages of bring ing all those important centres of the coal and iron trade and other traffic, and the vast coal and iron fields of Shropshire into close intercourse, and thus establishing the cheapest and quickest means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and the furnaces of Staffordshire, and the markets of Dublin, London, and Birmingham. The success of the undertaking is secured beyond a doubt, by the obvious fact that it will not only bring the richest mineral and manufacturing portions of England much nearer to the two capitals, but it will open for the carriage of the valuable pro duce of these districts the intermediate country not . at present pos sessed of any direct line of railway communication. On the other hand, the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway will give to London and the neighbourhood of Birmingham a route to Dublin shorter by nearly seventy miles titan that of any other exist ing railroad ; and filially, enable travellers to complete the entire distance in ten hours. It will also ensure two mail deliveries in the day. Up to the point where the line approaches Corwen, no engineering difficulties are presented. At Corwen a deviation from the straight line may be requisite to avoid tunnelling, after which a straight line will be resumed to Bangor, where that already in construction will be adopted for the rest of the route to Holyhead ; or, if found de sirable, power will be taken in the Bill to continue an independent line by Beaurnaris to Holy - head. After a careful investigation of the traffic arising from passengers, the conveyance of mineral and agricultural produce, and the direct transmission of the mails, the Directors fe..l warranted in anticipating a return of at least ten per cent. on the capital invested. A treaty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run powerful steamers between the harbours of Holyhead and Kingston on the arrival of the trains, so that passengers and merchandise may be booked throughout from London to Dublin, including all the inter mediate stations, and be thus enabled to complete the entire distance in ten hours, without the inconvenience so painfully felt of changing from the conveyance of one proprietary to that of another. The railways now in active pr. gress in Ireland, running' from Dublin north and south throughout the heart of the island, render it self evident that the chain of communication between the sister countries la, by this present undertaking, rendered at once complete and intimate to the last degree. As the leading aim of this Company is to save time and distance, every attention of the Directors, and every advancement in science will be made available to gain the utmost possible amount of speed, com patible with safety, the lines being 'Thrilled expressly for this end ; while, finally, the very lowest rate of fares will he adopted for both passengers and traffic, and the public will find in the improvement of the inferior carriages, and souse additional comforts for those of the first class, that the Grand London and Ibib:ln Approximation Rail way will be placed in advance of any other now existing, and in all its details will be rendered worthy an enterprise so national in its character. Application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the next session. The usual power will ba taken by the Act to allow interest at 41. per cent. per a •num on the amount of the subscriptions paid up ; and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. Applications for . Shares may be made, in the subjoined form, to the following * Solicitors, Brokers, and Agents : —Mr. Roger Mortimer, Throgmorton-street, London; B. R.

The Directors of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway Company, having completed the whole of their arrange ments, and having been compelled to refuse at least three-fourths of the applications for shares in their line, have had their attention forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the station on the Great Western Railway, by which the most direct and remunerative con nexion will be formed between Southampton and Manchester. The advantages, in point of speed, to be derived from the broad gauge, as al•o the superiority of the gradients obtained by the route of the Valey of the Avon, together with theimportance of placing the city of Salisbury on the main trunk line from the north to South ampton, must Insure to this undertaking the sanction of the Legis lature and the local support of the towns and districts through which the line will pass. Resides forint:lg a direct communication with the great manufac turing towns in the north, the Salisbury and Swindon Extension will make a complete line of railway between Southampton, Salisbury, and all parts of North and South Wales. After most mature deliberation, the Directors have resolved to re commend to their shareholders and the public the immediate carry ing out of a railway to effect the above oltject, which will be most desirable as a completion to their own line, and highly advantageous in a pecuniary sense and on public grounds. They have directed all the necessary sweys to be made, so as to apply to Parliament in the ensuing sesilbn, at the same time as the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway, with a view to the ultimate amal gamation of both lines under one management. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the holders of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares, as also to parties locally interested, due regard being at the same time had to public interest; and every original shareholder in that line may, on production of his scrip certificate, receive an allotment of a similar number of Salisbury and Swindon Extension shares. The holders of Great Western, and of Wilts, Somerset, and Wey. mouth shares, will also have a preference. Applications may be made, in the following form, to the Previsions: Committee, at the Offices of the Company, 26, Gresham-street, the solicitors, the local agents, or to the principal brokers is town and country.

This important line will commence at Brighton, and (passing through or contiguous to the towns of Steyning, Petworth, Mitt burst, Petorsfleld and Alresford) will join at the Andover Road sta tion of the South-Western Railway, the proposed Southampton ➢lanchester and Oxford Junction. An arrangement has been entered into with the latter Company, and it is proposed by means of their projected line, that the Brighton and Cheltenham Hallway shall proceed through Hunger ferd to Swindon. From Petersfleld a short branch will be made to Chichester where, nearly at the same point of junction, the London and Ports mouth direct will intersect the line in its way to Portsmouth. From Swindon it is proposed to proceed by the Manchester and Southampton Railway to Chelt nham, and the North of England by the Derbyshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire Junction, or other existing and contemplated lines. On reference to the map, it will be seen that the primary object to be obtained by the formation of this line will be the immediate connexion of the northern, western, and the whole of the manufac turing counties, and North and South 'Wales, with the southern coast and the populous and fashionable towns of Brighton, Hastings, and Dover. It is unnecessary to observe on the daily increasing traffic between Brighton and Dieppe, which the railroad from the latter place to Rouen, and thence to Paris, must greatly augment; thus, by means of the projected line, a direct communication with France, either from Brighton or Dover, will be opened with the northern counties of England. It is obvious that with these advantages the traffic must neces sarily be large, the line passing through the centre of Sussex, con taining a populatiGn of about 300,000, at present almost devoid of railway accommodation. Power will be applied for in the Act to increase the capital, f necessary, to alter the line, or to make such deviations or branches therefrom as may be deemed necessary ; also for the purposes of amal gamation with other Companies, should the same be found desirable. The Company reserves to itself the option of adopting the broad or narrow gauge, or the principle of atmospheric traction, if preferable. No further call beyond the deposit will be made until the Act shall be obtained. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to parties locally interested, sad to the shareholders in the lines with which this Company will be connected.

The imperative necessity, alike in a social, commercial, or political point of view, for drawing as closely together as possible the capitals of England_ and. Ireland, has suggested the formation of the brand London and Dublin Approximation Railway,—a line, the value of which it is difficult to over estimate, since n will be found to take a nearly direct course from the English metropolis to Holyhead. it will pass through or near the populous and noble county town of Shropshire (as yet unprovided with railway communication), and will traverse along its whole extent districts second in wealth, re sources, trade, and commerce, to none in the empire ; bring them morenearly and immediately in contact with London and Dublin, than has hitherto been thought possible. This project is wholly in dependent of imy other line already before the public, and as it possesses national advantages which nine can surpass, must, when carried out, become, without exception, the most important railway in Greit Britain. One of the first objects of this Company will be to obtain a most central and accessible terminus in London, mid Farringdoti-street hes been fixed upon for that purpose. It is Troposed to make a tunnel from that point to the Great Western '771 -~-~~_ _ -~~ - . ~ ~.. \ C~ I . • - .••• - THE FIRST NUMBER OF THE RAILWAY STANDARD WILL AP PEAR ON SATURDAY NEXT, OCTOBER 11.
