An Extension of the GRAND UNION RAILW kY is deter mined 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, run ning from the Amber Gate-sta'ion through or near Hartsey, Ripley, Codnor, Heanor, Eastwood, Ilkeston, Trowel', Wollaton, and Radford, to the town of Nottingham, sad thus passing through a densely populated district, inexhaustible in its mineral resources, and from whence an immense degree of local traffic must be de rived, it will complete by its junction 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 Company would carry out their scheme of extension to Amber Gate, a preference will be given, in the allotment of shares, to the holders of shares in the Grand Union Railway. A Provisional Committee is formed, and a detailed prospectus will be issued in a few days ; and in the meantime, communications may be made to the Provisional Committee, through their Solici tors, Messrs. W. and S. Parsons, jun., Nottinghzuri, of whom further information may be obtained. 26th April, 1845.

This Line of Railway is projected for the purpose as well of esta blishing a communication by railway along the coast of an important maritime district, as of affording to the rich grazing and agricultural divisions of the county of Lincoln a more cheap and ready access to the London and Yorkshire markets, and of completing the eastern chain of railway communication through this important county. The advantages offered to the graziers and cattle traders of dhat part of Lincolnshire which supplies both the London and Yorkshire markets with so large a proportion of fat stock, and to the towns of Louth, Wainfleet, Alford, and Spilsby , by providing a more certain and ready transit for manufactured goods and articles of merchan dise, cannot he estimated too highly. The productive districts around these towns would also fully partici pate in the advantages of this communication with the manufacturing and large consuming towns of Yorkshire, to which nearly the entire produce of corn and wool from such districts is now transmitted by a water carriage, so tedious, expensive, and uncertain of delivery, as materially to depress the price of produce in the markets of these towns, and to place such produce at great disadvantage as compared with that of other markets possessing greater facilities of transit. A very oonsiderable return-traffic in coals from the Yorkshire coal-fields would be obtained, and this article of absolute necessity, at present supplied to the population of this part of the country, at an expense seriously increased by the difficulties of carriage, would be afforded at a greatly reduced price. Independently of these local advantages, it is impossible to over rate those of a more general, and even national character, connected with the projected improvements of the port of Great Grimsby, the locality of which (at the mouth of V.-. e Humber) affords facilities su perior to any other port with reference to the Baltic and Itamburgh trades, or to the mails between London and the Northern Continental ports. ' In the article of fish alone (In the trans i t of which ever y hour's delay is of so much importance), it is calculated that a great pro portion of the supply from the Northern Seas would necessarily be transmitted to the metropolis through this line. The line has also the important advantage cf the cordial approval and support of the principal landed proprietors through whose estates it will pass. Time country is peculiarly favourable, and the cheap construction, and the excellent gradients of the line, will permit of its being worked at as low a cost as any in the kingdom. The Committee of Direction have authority to increase or reduce the Capital, and generally to adopt such measures as they may think necessary for obtaining the requisite Parliamentary powers to form a Company for the construction of the entire railway, or any portion thereof, with such branches and extensions as they may hereafter find expedient, and to apply the deposits in discharge of any liabilities which they may incur under the general powers vested in them for the prosecution of the undertaking. No Shares will be allotted except to parties giving satisfactory re ferences, and such applications to be addressed to the Secretary or Solicitors. To prevent trouble to all parties, no other applications will be attended to. Application for Shares to be made to the solicitors according to the subjoined form : FORM OF APPLICATION.

The direc tion of the proposed line is north-west, following the mail-coach route from York to Carlisle, and involving the lemt sacrifice of distance in connecting together the two great trunk lines of rail-I, way, the eastern and western sides of the island. The distance from Northallerton to Penritla will be sixty-one miles ; of this fifty-five miles will be new railway, which, with the branch ~ to:Orion, seventeen additionad miles, will form a total distance of; seventy-two miles. The capital will be 1,500,00 a, in 30,000 shares of fifty pounds I each. One-third-500,0001.—0f which is placed at the disposal of the I Lancaster and Carlisle Board, to be appropriated amongst the parties interested in that Company. Thcrrevenue will be derived from pas sengers travelling from all the eastern districts of the island south of Darlingtori to Scotland, and from the counties of Durham and Nor thumberland to Lancashire, and the west of England, and Ireland. In addition to the proceeds from passengers and goods, a very large income will accrue from the extensive mineral resources of the I country. , A better access will be made to tha Lead Mines of Mid dleten-M-Teesdale, and to those in Westmorland.. The line will run near a large district of iron-stone, and become the channel for the coal of Durham to pass into East Cumberland, Westmorland, ; the north-west of Yorkshire, and Lancashire north of the Wyre. It will form a junction between the Baltic ports of the Wear and the Tees and the western ports of Lancaster, Fleetwood, and Liverpool. To increase the traffic to these large importing harbours, new docks are now making at Hartlepool, and the Tees river has been declared i a " free port" to all vessels. There are no canals in the district, and no direct competing rail wars. The local traffic is now conveyed by carts, while the through traffic is conveyed from Manchester to Newcastle by York on the one hand, or by Carlisle on the other. Stainmore is the route for the agricultural produce of Cumberland passing into the colliery and mining districts of Durham. The general traffic has been estimated to yield an adequate return , for the proposed capital. For the purpose of securing the coal trade a Branch will be made ! from West Auckland to the line between Greta Bridge and Bowes. i This Branch will connect Barnard Castle with the Coal District as well as give to that town a road to the south-west and to the forth. At West Auckland the Durham coal-field is already open in every , direction by railways already formed.

The object of this undertaking is to establish the most direct and efficient railway communication that can be formed between Bir mingham and Oxford, connecting by the shortest possible route the whole of the Lancashire manufacturing districts and sealy - Tts with the south of England and its long line of coast in the British Channel. The existing lines afford but a very imperfect and circuitous com munication through London, and it is singular that the competing lines of railway now before the public do not supply the deficiency or provide for the objects now contemplated. 'Under these circum stances, there can be no doubt that this railway will confer essential benefits on the districts through which it is intended to pass, as well as on the commercial and industrious classes of the north, and a very cursory inspection of the map will satisfy the inquirer that the line is so peculiarly situate as to command an unusually large amount of through traffic, independent of its local resources, which are very great. It cannot fail to be observed, that the Birmingham and Oxford Junction will save a considerable distance on the route towards the coast, besides furnishing to Warwick and Leamington the most direct railway communication for the traffic between those places and Oxford, Reading, &c., while the cheapness of construction and excellence of the gradients will enable the Company to convey pas sengers and goods at very low rates, such as would not remunerate an expensive line, but which are calculated to afford an ample return for the small capital required for this undertaking. The railway will commence by a connexion with the Grand Junc tion Railway at Birmingham, and proceeding in nearly a straight line by Warwick and Leamington, fall into the intended Oxford and Rugby line, near Fenny Compton ; the entire distance from Birming ham to Oxford will thus be about 62 miles. The Stratford-on Avon line, which will be constructed simultane ously with the line by Warwick and Leamington, will join the main railway at or near to Kingswood. From Stratford-on-Avon to More ton-in-the-Marsh, by an improvement of the existing railway, a dis tance of 14 miles, the communication through Stratfbrd will be com plete to the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line, and the Oxford, Reading, and the South of England. It is confidently believed that this extension of the Oxford line to the Grand Junction Railway at Birmingham, taking Leamington and Warwick in its course, will furnish such strong corroborative proof of the public importance and necessity of the Oxford and Rugby line (now promoted by the Great Western Company) as to ensuie its success in Parliament. If the broad gauge should be adopted, ar rangements have been made with the Great Western Company to rim dispatch trains between London and Birmingham in less than three hours, and also to provide, at low rates, means of conveyance for every description of traffic, whether of passengers, carriages, horses, cattle, or merchandise and minerals. The Provisional Committee, however, promote this measure as one of great national importance, and do not intend it to be contingent in any degree on the success or failure of the Oxford and Rugby Railway, but they will be guided in the final selection of the line, in the prin ciple of construction, and in the mode of working it, by the evidence which may be adduced during the present session, and by the result of the applications now before Parliament, as far as they may appear consistent with the experience still to be obtained on the relative merits of the systems. They need only add, in conclusion, that if the Oxford and Rugby line is successful, the capital of 600,000/. will be ample, as the country has been carefully examined. No engineering difficulties exist, and there will be no tunnel throughout the line. The landed interests affected by the proposed railway are very favourable, and the Bill will be applied for in the next session of Parliament. As numerous applicationS for Shares in this Company continue to be received, notwithstanding the notice of allotment advertised on the Ist instant, the Provisional Committee take this opportunity to state to the parties making the same, that their requests cannot be com plied with. 449, West Strand, London, April 28, 1845.

Notice is hereby given, that in pursuance of a resolution passed unanimously at two successive General Meetings of Proprietors, a MUTUAL ASSURANCE BRANCH of this Institution has been Ostablished on terms peculiarly advantageous to the Assured, and that such Branch is supported by the entire subscribed capital of the fompany, together with the accumulated fluid of Premiums derived rom upwards of Six Thousand Policies, already effected in the Pro ; rietary Branch. Full particulars are stated in the Prospectus, which, with every re " visite information, may be obtained on application at the office. PETER MORRISON, Managing Director. TO the PROPRIETORS of the BRITANNIA LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. GENTLEMEN, — In calling your attention to the annexed Notice of the establishment of a Mutual Assurance Branch, I beg leave to address a few observations to you relative to the past transactions, and the probable result of the proposed extension of the operations of the Company. That the "Britannia" Company has enjoyed the decided and (I trust I may be permitted to say) deserved approbation of the public, is clearly proved by the unprecede n t e d fact of u pwards of 6,000 policies having been issued in the short space of eight years. In order, however, to show the high degree of credit and influence pos sessed by the Company, it is only necessary for me to state, that two highly respectable and well-established Life Assurance Companies have successively transferred their business to this establishment. The former of these transfers took place in the year 1840 the letter in the course of the past year. It is in consequence of this last-mentioned transfer, which included a large number of Policies effected on the mutual assurance plan, and also in consequence of the numerous applications for Assurances on this plan, which they have hitherto been compelled to decline, that the Directors at length determined on the establishment of a Mutual Assurance Branch, on the plan set forth in the Prospectus, after it had been submitted to, and unanimously approv ed by, two succes sive General Meetings of Proprietors, specially convened on the occasion. The general objection to Mutual Assurance Societies, that (in their infancy, at least) they do not afford that complete security to the Assured which is supplied by the subscribed capital of Proprietary Establishments, is completely removed in the Mutual Branch of the " Britannia" Company ; for not only are the Mutual Policy-holders protected by the entire subscribed capital of th e Proprietary 'trench, but the large and continually-increasing fund, accumulated from the Premiums on 6,000 Policies already effected in that Branch, consti tutes an immediately available fund for the payment of the claims of ' the Assured, who will thus enjoy all the security afforded by an old established office, and, at the same time, become entitled to all the benefits to be derived from that system of Mutual Assurance which experience has proved to be at the same time the safest and the best. Another serious objection to the Mutual Assurance Plan (as gene rally acted on) is the high rate of premium required to be paid, in the fiat instance, in order to form a fund—not only for the payment of the claims, but also for the distribution of large bonuses among the policy-holders. This objection also is entirely removed by means of the half credit system detailed in thepr r o a s t p e ec o t f u p s r . em r i o u r m , , by in a t lio e w fi in rs g t half the amount of the first five annual premiums to remain for five years in the hands of the person a s s ured, and a pp l y in g the bonus (to which he would otherwise become entitled) to the gradual liquida tion of the debt thus incurred with the Com p an y , the policy-holder enjoys the rare advantage of a very low instance, combined with that of a full participation, eventually, in the profits. In availing myself of this opportunity of congratulating my co shareholders on the extraordinary success which hitherto has at tended the operations of the Britannia Life Assurance Company, I trust I shall, at no very distant period, have still further to congratu late them on the complete success of the Mutual Assurance Branch, which, after the most anxious care and attention, has been founded on a plan calculated, in every possible way, to benefit and accommo date the public. I cannot, in justice to the Directors, conclude this address without calling your attention to the able and cordial co-operation which h as been afforded to me on their part, not only on the present important occasion, but also in every other instance in which their advice and assistance have been needffil for promoting the interests of the nsti tution. I have the honour to be, Ge n tl emen, Your most obedient servant, PETER MORRISON, Managing Director.

The me'ropolitan improvements are so rapidly ex tending in every direction, that ere long London must become the most mrgnificent city in the universe. In the gay and lively promenade of Regent-street, there is, how ever, no room for improvement ; all is already so beau tifully constructed, that if a Committee of taste—such as ruled triumphant in the days of George Selwyn—was requested to suggest any alteration in this magnificent thoroughfare, they would be perplexed in the extreme to find the means of adding another charm to its fair proportions. At this outbreak of the London season, the full return of the mingling tides of business, pleasure, and fashion, is in no point of view so strikingly observable as in the expositions which are set forth by the principal trades people of this street, whose stores and show-rooms, counters and windows, now teem with the rich and varied produce of the myriad resources of art and manu facture. In this gay and ever-changing scene, the lugu brious aspect, even of a maison de deuil, with its sombre and stately portals, is not displeasing to the eye, as it subdues the glare and glitter from the gaudy colours which sparkle around in every direction ; and assuredly Messrs. Jay and Co. may congratulate themselves on having made no inconsiderable addition to the conve nience of the public by the formation of their London general mourning warehouse, for the distressing necessity which rendered it formerly incumbent on persons in immediate want of their " customary suits of solemn black" to seek for various articles at different shops is here obviated. Every thing requisite for this tristful purpose is here carefully collected. The im mense advantage of such an arrangement cannot but present itself to the most casual purchaser ; and it is really inconceivable that an accommodation so ma • terial to families thus sadly circumstanced should so long have been a desideratum in this huge metro polis. The French ladies, "to one thing constant never," have recently adopted the English custom of wearing half-mourning; which, without detracting from the respect due to the memory of those mourned for, relieves the sad and solemn monotony of black attire. This has given an increased impetus ta the manu facture of several exquisite fabrics in lavender and half-mourning ; but many patterns which existed only in colours have been reproduced expressly for this establishment in silks, muslins, bereges, &c., the effect of which is quite novel, and cannot fail of being admired. There is a great display of figured silks, organdies, mouseline de laines, and millinery, in half-mourning. which are more graceful and elegant than any thing of the kind that has yet been forwarded to England frum the stores of the Parisian maisons de deuil. If we succeed in passing unscathed through the crowds of carriages which are ceaselessly rolling to and fro with their gaudy liveries over the broad ex panse glittering in all its gaiety, what splendid shops meet our view on the other side of the street ! The display of waistcoats, robes de chambre, with an inexhaustible variety of vestments, at Messrs. Nicoll, the Court tailors, near the Quadrant, are always attract ing the attention of the modern Maccaronis who listlessly lounge about this street. From the numbers of well dressed men who are met with in their registered pale tots, we should surmise that the Messrs. Nicoll must al ready have profited largely by their invention. This garment is so great an improvement upon the old " wrap-rascal," that its general adoption by men of taste is inevitable. Those who confidently place themselves under the surveillance of these Court tailors, may feel assured of being turned out, as Byron said of George the Fourth, " finished gentlemen e from top to toe. But there ends their du t y ; they leave the adornment of the feet to these whose province it is to attend to such importa nt matters ; and, whilst we are apropos de bottes , and dilatingonthebgylothrieesloigfhßt,egaeinryt street, we must not p ass in silence and graceful structu re which has been erected by the " famous bootmaker, Medwin. The system of giving credit is banished from these premises, so that those who do pay, do not pay for those who owe ; a n d people may here be bien chausse for half the price they have been accustomed to pay. For those who are, as Shakspeare says, " plagued with corns," Medwin abjures the use of stiff leather, and hangs a caff-skin on their recreant feet, lat said iit w er so e much mani fest which is the greatest possible luxury to thos e w h o are thus grievously " plagued." haveWe t behalf of our London tradespeople, injustice to pass on without bestowing a tribute of praise on the efforts of th e i r P ar i s i an brethren.

PORTSiioUTH, Arum 27.—Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker re turned from leaVe, and re-hoisted his flag (blue at the mizee) on board the Victory last evening. The Comet steam-Vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Prety man, left yesterday for Sheerness and Chatham with volun teers for the Queen and Vernon. The Superb; 80, Captain Corry, arrived at Spithead this morning from Plymouth. She rought up and saluted the flag of the Commander•in-Chief with 17 guns. • She has come to be docked. The Victory, 101, Captain Moubray, is to bepaid eff into ordinary at this port, and will become the, resident ship of the Commander of the Ordinary, as it is the intention of the Admiralty to have efficient ships fur ordinary guard-ships at each of our hothe ports. in future, instead of old ships—au excellent resolution. We believe the Neptune, 120, is the ship selected to supply the place of the Victory. The proceedings of the court-martial held on board the Fishguard at Valparaiso, on the 9th of December, on Lieu tenant Bridge, - Senior Lieutenant of the Cormorant—for an alleged breach of the 23d article of war, in having refused to shake hands with Mr. Crompton, the British Vice-Consul at Islay, when the palm of that august representative of _Majesty was thrust forward for his acceptance (Lieutenant Bridge having cogent reasons for not grasping the same), and which charge was declared by the court, after three days' sitting, to be partly proven, and adjudged Lieutenant Bridge to be dismissed his ship— have been annulled by the Adthiralty. The Hibernia, 120, Captain Richard!, flag of Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, Bart., progresses very rapidly with her equip ment in the basin. Her topmasts are on end, and her hold is nearly stowed. She will only carry 100 guns, instead of 120, as the weight of the full number of guns for which she is pierced; if carried, would bring her so low down in the water as to render the lower deck tier useless, should ever it be her lot to fight them. , The Amphitrite, 42, is,to be razeed tea 26, and lengthened by the bow, by Mr. White, of Cowes.

DETERMINED SUICIDE.—On Saturday afternoon, shortly after two o'clock, as a person named Eldon, residing in /to therhithe, was crossing the bridge of the Grand Surrey - CAW, whin divides the counties of Surrey and Kent, and close to the_ambes of the Greenwich Railway,he heard several deep groans. Re imme diately proceeded to the spot, and entered one of the arches, which is Partly inclosed and dark, and there discovered a man lying on his back, with his threat cut from ear to ear. On looking about Mr. Eldon found the razor with which the unhappy man had perpttrated the rash act, covered with blood, and a few feet off he discovered a case containing another razor spotted with blood,and about three yards of a stout patent sash lint, which the deceased probably contemplated hanging himself with. The poor fellow was alive at this time, and Mr. Eldon ran off to Deptford, and returned with Dr. Caleb Taylor and Mr. Downing, surgeon to the police force. The deceased was then removed on a chair to the Black Horse public-house, Lower-road, Deptford, and the medicil attendants, without losing a moment, proceeded to sew up the wound, which was accomplished with considerable difficulty, owing to the resistance which was offered by the patient. During this operation Mr. Downing put several questions to him ; the only answer which he could indifferently articulate was that he . came from Berkshire. He refused to give his name, and when questioned, as to whether he had committed the act himself, significantly nodded assent. He remained in a state of insensibility until four O'clock, when he expired. Dr. Taylor describes the deceased as a fine framed man, of about thirty-five years of age, but of a very erne, elated bodily appearance. SUICIDE OF TILE ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP OF DERRY —By private letters received in town, we learn that Dr. 111‘Loughlin, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Derry, died on Sunday from the effect of a wound which he inflicted on his throat with a razor on the previous Wednesday. The dis tressing fact was kept quite secret in Derry for two.or three days by his relatives, who were led to think by the medical man in attendance upon him that the wound would not prove mortal. It was said Dr. M'Loughlin was in a low state of mind for some time ; but his friends never apprehended that he would resort to violence upon himself. -- THE -GREAT - BRrrAnc—On Saturday the Graud. Duchess of Baden visited this noble vessel, calling on the way to see the East and West India Docks, with the inspection of which she appeared highly gratified. On arriving with her suite at the Bruns wick Pier she was met by Capt. Routh, one of the Directors, and Mr. Wrightman, superintendent of the Blackwell Railway, by whom she was conducted to her Majesty's steam-yacht, the Dwarf, which conveyed her Royal Highness on board the Great Britain. In the absence of Captain Hoskin, Mr. Hedger, the chief officer, con. ducted her Royal Highness through the vessel, whilst Mr. Harmer, the engineer, attended to explain the machinery. So minute was her Royal Highness in the Investigation, that she even vent through the narrow passage in which the screw-shaft works, when the vessel is in motion. REJOICINGS IN HUDDERSFIELD.--This town, which is perhaps oneef the most important in the kingdom for its slee t and is literally without any direct railway communication, on Saturday was overwhelmed with delight on learning that a Com mittee of the House of Commons had decided in favour of their pet line from Huddersfield to Ashton. This important news was brought into the town at half-past seven In the morning by Mr. Moore, the postmaster, who proclaimed it from the top of an ore. nibus to waiting hundreds, who rent the air with shouts of joy. The church bells were immediately at work—the inhabitants were all on the qua vine—the joyous news spread to the villages—bells were ringing, bands of music struck up—every face indicated de light—old and young, rich and poor, all, all were alike delighted. The name of the noble-minded chairman, Stewart, will be engraves% on the hearts of a population of more than 100,000 grateful, Indus. trious people, who leave no doubt that the Committee who has done them this act of justice will complete their triumph by granting the continuation from Huddersfield through Dewsbury to Leeds. A greater boon or a more righteous one could not be given to Hud. dersfield. TII E ARCTIC 14: XP EDIT lON .—W OOLNVIC R DOCK. YARD, APRIL 25.—Admiral the Right Hon.

HIGH TIDES.—On Saturd}ty and yesterday (Sun _ day) the tides rose to an unusual height, overflowing many of the low-lying embankments and waterside premises, on both sides of the river, above and below London-bridge. A few wharfs were partially flooded, but by the timely removal of dry goods, &c., little damage was done. The cellars of numerous licensed vie tuallers and the kitchens of several householders along shore were flooded ; but with the exception of causing a great deal of ineen. venience to the former, and sudden and unexpectedly rousing the fair occupants of the latter, who disliked " Old Father Thames" as a bedfellow, little injury , was sustained. At high tide on Satur dayri and yesterday, the averag e de p th of water at London4i was 29 feet 2 incbes.
