The public is informed that arrangements are in progress for the formation of a Company for the purpose of establishing a General Railway Terminus on the site of ilungerford-market and wharf, by adapting the Suspension-foot-bridge as a means of transit for the railway carriages into the market. The proprietors of the market and the bridge are the only persons whose property will be required for the purpose, and those Companies are favourably , disposed to a scheme so manifestly advantageous to their interest. The situa tion of the proposed station is unequalled ; and, as remarked by the Board of Trade in their report of schemes for facilitating the ap proach to the metropolis, it will afford the most superior London terminus. A prospectus, with further details, will shortly be issued. ,TEST METROPOLITAN AND HUNGER FORD-MARKET RAILWAY TERMINUS COMPANY. In reply to the caution put forward by the London Central Railway Terminus Company, stating "that the Bridge and Market Companies being separate interests, the latter Company cannot carry out their project without the full concurrence of the Hungerford-bridge Com pany," it is proper to state that the Hungerford-market Company and its Proprietors are holders of more than one-third of the Hunger ford-bridge shares ; that the area of the market property is amply sufficient for all the purposes of a terminus ; is unequalled in its loca lity and approaches for railway purposes; and, as remarked by the Board of Trade, in their report of schemes for facilitating the ap proaches to the Metropolis—" it will afford the most superior London terminus." The market property, from its construction, will require but a comparatively small outlay to adapt it for a railway terminus ; probably, not more than one-third of the capital proposed to be raised by the London Central Railway Terminus Company ; and one of the many advantages which the scheme of the West Metropolitan and Hungerford-market Railway Terminus possesses is, that it will not have to encounter the great uncertainty and expense of such an op position as must inevitably attend the project of the London Central Railway Terminus, which clearly cannot be carried into effect with out interfering, in the most serious manner, with the interests and roperty of the nungerford-market Company, as well as numerous individual interests. The proposed West Metropolitan and Hunger ford-market Railway Terminus will, on the contrary, only have to snake arrangements with the Bridge Company. A. L.

ENGINEER—J. K. Brunel, Esq., The important line of railway proposed to be constructed by this Company will commence at Shrewsbury, and will proceed from thence by way of Church Stretton, Ludlow, and Leominster, to Here ford, and a Branch will leave the line at or near the Craven Arms, and be carried by Bishop's Castle, to the populous manufacturing town of Newtown. in Montgomeryshire. The intended railway will form, by a Junction at Hereford, with the Hereford and Monmouth line, the link requisite to complete the great chain of railway communication from north to south, on the western side of England ; and, by the branch to Newtown, will com mand the extensive traffic of North Wales and Cardiganshire, and will open this valuable district in the most direct course, to London and to the south, as also to the north of England, and will ultimately form a portion of a great line from London to Dublin. It will likewise form the nearest route from the North of England, Manchester, Liverpool, the town of Birkenhead, Chester, Holyhead, Ireland, and North Wales, via Shrewsbury, to Worcester, Chelten ham, Gloucester, South Wales, Bristol, Bath, the South-Western Counties, Exeter, Plymouth, and Falmouth ; and will be a direct line line into the centre of Wales, from the Northern and Midland Coun ties : thus the coal and minerals, and the iron works of Staffordshire and Shropshire, the manufactures of Lancashire, the salt works of Cheshire and Worcestershire, and the agricultural produce of the north, of the Valley of the Severn, of Herefordshire, and Wales, will have a rapid and cheap transit, with the advantage of a return of im ported articles, to the Ports of Lancashire, Cheshire, Gloucestershire, Devonshire, and Cornwall. The Shares in the capital stock of this Company have been appro priated, and the Letters of Allotment will be issued Tills DAT, Satur day, the 31st day of May instant. The Provisional Committee of Directors regret that the very numerous applications have compelled them to limit the number ap propriated to each person, and precluded the possibility of an allot ment to a large body of highly respectable applicants. The Com mittee request this announcement may be received as an apology by those to whom letters have not been addressed. GEORGE S. SIDNEY, Secretary. 41, Moorgate-street, 31st May, 1845. LIVERPOOL, MANCHESTER, BRISTOL, AND SOUTH WALES_ RAILWAY (O.3IPANY. (Provisionally Registered.) The Railway proposed to be formed by this Company will com mence at the:terminus of the projected " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway," at Shrewsbury, pass through or near the towns of Wern, Whitchurch, Malpas, and Tarporley, and intersect ing the Salt District of Cheshiro, proceed, in nearly a direct line, to Liverpool, with a branch to Manchester. It is intended that the line shall be constructed upon the principle of "the wide gauge," and it will thus form, in connexion with the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales," " The Merthyr Tydvil and Hereford," and" The Monmouth and Bristol" Railways, a direct un broken chain broad gauge line from Liverpool and Manchester and the North, to Bristol, South Wales, and the West of England. The members of the Provisional Committee are taking the neces sary steps to perfect the arrangements of the undertaking, and to secure local interest. A prospectus will be shortly issued.

RAILWAY SHARES, &c., BY AUCTION, TO SHAREHOLDERS and CAPITALISTS. Encouraged by the recent increase of business in the Sale and Tru:sfer of Shares in the various public Companies, British and Foreign, and acting under the advice of friends, capitalists, and Directors of Companies, Messrs. LA MOND and Co., Licensed Auctioneers, have deemed the additional occupation thus created, together with the late abolition of the auction duties, a lit oppor tunity for opening a separate and independent practice, to which they have determined to devote their undivided attention, declining all other business for this express purpose, viz.—" For the Sale by Auction of Shares in Railways, British and Foreign ; Assurance, Mining, and Canal Companies ; Joint-Stock Banks, Debentures, Bonds, &c. ;"—in short, of every description of Interest con nected with the numerous Companies formed and now forming in the commercial world. In arriving at this determination, it will be the anxious desire of Messrs. Lamond and Co. to give every information and satisfaction to their friends and the public ; and looking at the probable magni tude of operations yielding adequate remuneration, they have re solved to adopt a low scale of ad valorem charge by way of Commis sion, and where Sales are not effected, a small fee (merely sufficient to cover the expenses of ,printing, advertising, &c., &c.) for putting up the lots. As all Scrip and Share Certificates must be deposited for examina tion at least one day previous to their being offered to public compe tition, Mes St's. 3fisterman and Co., Bankers, Nicholas-lane; 3lessrs.

Messrs. Lamond and Co. ftirther propose to take subscriptions of a Guinea per annum from all parties desiring to have Catalogues sent them on the night before the ,sale, except Bankers, Members of the Stock Exchange, and Subscribes s. to the Hall of Commerce, to whom they will on application be delivered gratis ; but to prevent incon venient intrusion no one can be admitted into the Sale Room without a Catalogue, which if furnished at , the door will be charged One Shilling. • SCALE OF CHARGES.

Gray's Inn, AuntTon—Richard Thomas, Esq., George-yard, Lombard-street. SECBETARY—W. H. Bellamy, Esq. Offites of the Company, No. 2, Moorgatc-street, City. This Company is established for the manufacture and sale of the Concentrated Essences of Tea and Coffee under Staite's Patent, by licence from the Patentee. The advantages peculiar to the process for which this patent has been granted, are very numerous ; but among the most prominent is this, that while the properties of the material are completely ex tracted, its available quantity is augmented, and its virtues improved. The distinctive qualities of the Essence obtained are, the retention of the identical flavour and fragrance of the particular Tea or Coffee used, and a degree of strength secured before unknown. The method employed in preparing and putting up these Essences, secures them against injury from the lapse of time and change of climate, affords the greatest possible facility for portability and im modiate use, and so reduces the price to the consumer, that economy itself furnishes an ample guarantee for their extensive use. One teaspoonful of the Essence, in a cup cf boiling water, will be sufficient for the instantaneous production of a cup of tea or coffee of the finest quality. The following certificate from Dr. Ure is, with satisfaction, sub joined : " I hereby certify, that Staite's Patent Essence of Tea is a pure and wholesome beverage ; and that is is extracted by a peculiar process, which, while tt excludes in a great measure, the bitter and astringent matter always present in the teapot, preserves and refines all the exhilarating and aromatic principles of the Chinese herb. Being put up in Mr. Rand's Collapsible Tubes of pure tin, it will keep un changed for any length of time. (Signed) "ANDREW URE, 111. D., _FRS., " Analytical Chemist to the Board of Customs, The Committee - have also thought it right to have the samples of the Essences submitted to high and unbiassed authorities in the Tea Trade. The following testimonial from a well-known and eminent judge is the result : " W. J. Bland having tested the samples of the concentrated Es sence of Tea, manufactured under Stalte's Patent, pronounces them clean, full and perfect. " By whatever process the Extract is obtained, the arons4 is finely preserved, and without the erode or fibrous property which ordinary methods of maceration or evaporation would exhibit ; the distinctive flavours of Pekoe, Souchong, Congob, &c., are completely preserved, so that even critical Judges of the article would rot be able to tell any number of cups of the diluted Essence apart from others infused after the common method. This result may be regarded as the acme of the invention, and its greatest protection and recommenda tion. "The Coffees, extracted after the same patent, are rich and aro matic in flavour, and brilliant in colour : perfectly pellucid, without the slightest sediment—whilst the distinguishing properties of the Mocha, the Mountain Berry, and other known peculiarities, are so naturally developed as of to be mistaken.

These Pills are from the prescription of a celebrated Court Physician, and were used by the late Lord Eldon, and are put forth as calculated to remove two com plaints, to both of which Gentlemen of the Learned Professions are more or less subject (viz., costiveness and indigestion), and are pa tronised by the highest Officers in the State.

The annual general Ceurt of the Proprietors of this Com pany was held on Thursday, in accordance with the provisions of the charter, at the New Zealand House, in Broad-street-build ings, for the transaction of general business. Viscount Ingestre, M.P., occupied the chair, and amongst the Directors present were :—Mr. H. A. Aglionby, M.P. ; Mr. J. E. Boulcott, Mr. C. Buller, M.P., Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, Bart., Mr. J. R. Gower, Mr. Mangles, M.P , Mr. Marjoribanke, M.P., Mr. A. Nairne, Sir J. Pirie, Bart., Alderman, Mr. J. A. mith, M.P., Mr. E. G. Wakefield, Mr. G. F. Young, and Mr. A. Currie. Mr. HARRINGTON (the Secretary) then read the 18th re port of the Directors, of which the following is the substance : —lt commenced by stating that, in furtherance of the wish expressed at their last meeting, that the Directors should pre pare at their discretion a petition to the House of Commons, representing, on the part of the Company, the wrongs it bad suffered, and praying for redress, and take steps for procuring its presentation, numerous papers had been moved for and printed by order of Parliament, each exhibiting more forcibly than the one preceding the disastrous effects of the policy pur. sued by the local Government. The petition from the Com pany itself was presented to the House by Mr. Somes on the 16th of April, and it was ordered to be printed immediately afterwards. Before the petition was presented, one of the Directors, Mr. C. Buller, gave notice, on the 31st of March, of a motion " to call the attention of the House to the state of the colony of New Zealand, and the case of the New Zealand Company." On the Ist of May a communication was made confidentially to the Directors by Mr. Buller, upon which they adopted the following resolution :—" That this Court, retaining a firm de termination never to relinquish the assertion of its just claims, but sensible of the extrem e delicac y and im p orta nce of the pre oi u t d advisable st that ed deems number of its gentlemen be therefore thesmi n e n e am t p spiritbr p ae o er s tsi members. That ei oaolnfTproceedings unlimited undermentionednc oonfi Company's dt oe affairs,nbconfidence adoptedto da s e e appointed a secret committee, with full authority to conduct and conclude any arrangement which they may deem most expedient, namely, Mr. Somes, M.P., Governor : Air. Ag lionby, M.P. ; Mr. Buller, M.P. ; Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, Bart. ; Lord Ingestre, M.P. ; Mr. Lyall, and Mr, Wakefield." The committee at once met, and, from what there transpired they requested Mr. Buller to withdraw his motion with out delay, and that was accordingly done the same even ing. The report of the secret committee (which was inserted at this point in the report of the Directors) states, 'that in consequence of Sir J. Graham having, in the third week of March last, suggested to Mr. Buller that the disputes between the Company an.l the Government had better be settled amicably, he had been in personal communication with that Minister on the subject ; had at his suggestion submitted his views, in writing, to Lord Stanley ; had held an interview at which those views had been discussed, jointly, by Lord Stanley, Sir J. Graham, and himself ; had, as then agreed upon, renewed his proposal in the form of a second letter to Lord Stanley, with the view of removing the objections which had at first presented themselves ; and had subsequently been informed by Sir J. Graham, that Lord Stanley had no in superable objection to the plan, but was ready, under two con ditions, to entertain it as the basis of a negotiation, and to give it a full and fair consideration. These conditions were, that the plan should be proposed officially by the Company ; and that, as a preliminary step, the motion upon the affairs of New Zealand, of which Mr. Buller had given notice ir. the House of Commons, should be withdrawn or disposed of, as the Go vernment could not enter into any negotiation under an appear ance of pressure, or of a wish to shrink from discussion. The plan itself was an endeavour, by a change of system, to render needless any direct decision on the precise points of pre vious controversy, and, by means of a large and bold policy, to reconcile satisfactorily the interests of the natives, the colo nists, the missionaries, and the Company, and to put matters on an entirely new and sound footing, without compromising the honour of the Government. The mode in which it proposed to effect this was by erecting a new province, com prising the middle and a portion of the northern island, and conferring the government of it upon a new Company (in which the present Company should merge), on the model on which, down to a recent period, all the colonies of England had been founded, and maintained without expense to the parent state. On the sth of the present month that plan was enclosed in an official communication to Lord Stanley, and on the 23d it was intimated officially to the Directors that her Alajesty's Government, having maturely examined the project, found that the difficulties of proceeding on the basis suggested were insuperable. At the same time Lord Stanley added, that if the Company should have any other proposition to offer, founded upon a wholly different principle, for relieving themselves, the colony, and the Government from the embarrassment consequent upon the present state of their affairs, her Majesty's Government were ready to give their best attention to such proposition, and to enter upon a discus sion with an earnest desire to find a satisfactory solution of the existing difficulties, by an amicable arrangement with the com pany. Through Mr. Buller, they understood that the propo sition specifically contemplated by his Lordship was that of treating en the basis either of attempting to settle the ques tions at issue, leaving the powers of the Company and the Government on their present footing, or of the Government buying up the interests of the Company , and dissolving that body. The former of these suggestions appeared to them at once to be so thoroughly indefinite as to hold out no hope of any satisfactory result; the latter obtain ed their most serious coast deration. Upon it the Committee state— " Had it contained any specific proposal on the part of the Government, providing for the due fulfilment of the engage ments into which the Company has entered, and especially affording a satisfactory guarantee for th e welfare of the Cock's it ish colonists such and terms, ti to w eln di ntdheee objects jheaovtes forfeltw h reluc tantthe:ch Company has been estab lished ; but we should not, under relinquish e xisting circumstances, have felt jus tified in dissuadin g the Stra, even co o naves ,hu u q l Court from the acceptance of those terms. But we found, on the contrary, that the proposal for our dissolution was to be submitted as emanating from ourselves; that the interests of the colonists had not been adverted to until called to mind by Mr. Buller ; and that the natives had not been mentioned at all. That portion of the Parliamentary session which is most valuable for the dispatch of business was rapidly passing away; • much time had already been . required for th e cons id erat i on o f a plan ,reviously discussed with two Cabinet Ministers, and the questions still left open were such that th e ti me to he consumed in their discussion would evidently render impossible (if ulti mately found necessary) that appeal to Parliament which the shareholders had sanctioned, and were entitled to demand." The Company then deemed it their duty, continued the re port of the Secret Committee, not to reject the suggestions of Lord Stanley, but to represew, as they did on the 26th inst., that it did not appear to them that any advantage could re sult to them from their originating any fresh proposals ; but they expressed their readiness to give the most cordial consi deration to any plan which his Lordship might do them the honour to suggest. They also apprised his Lot dship that time was of such importance to them, that unless assured that they renewed the negotiation with that fundamental requisite clearly and satisfactorily before them, they could not consent to any further delay of the motion which Mr. Buller had undertaken to bring before the House of Commons. They had therefore requested that gentleman to take the earliest opportunity of bringing the motion forward. The general report, speaking of the injurious effects produced by the measures of the local Government, observes—. _ _ _ It is distressing to see colonists returning to England, day by day, compelled to abandon the country of their adoption, with their property lost and their hopes blasted. And it is mor tifying beyond measure to recollect that by the exertions of such men, if simply unobstructed, large portions of that coun try might ere now have been reclaimed from virtual desolation ; that the capital which has been sunk, and the energies which have been wasted, through the aimless animosity of others, might have opened fresh outlets of industry to our countrymen, have afforded employment to thousands of our labouring poor, and have diffused happiness and prosperity where all is now despondency and ruin." The Company T still remained in ignorance of the name of Captain Fitzroy 's successor, of the probable time of his depar ture, the nature of the instructions under which he was to act, or of the principles and policy which he was to uphold. They were apprised only that, in announcing the fact of the recal of the present Governor, the Under-Secretary of State took pains to declare, in a marked manner, that it had not been oc casioned by any complaintw-any representation of this Com pany. They knew not, therefore, what to anticipate. It was impossible entirely to exclude apprehension. But as their re liance had not been heretofore on the Government, so neither by the Government could that reliance now be destroyed. The financial statement, which extended from the 6th of April, 1844, to the sth of April, 1845, showed total receipts, including the balance in hand in 1844, of 60,4901. 9s. I Id., and total expenditure of 50,719/. 193. 7d., leaving a present balance of 9,7701. 10s. 4d. The present assets of the Company were calculated at 398,880/. 17s. 3d., and the liabilities at 138,0631. 6s. 9d., showing a balance of assets to meetithe paid up capital of 260,817/. 10s. 6d. Since the date to which these accounts were made up the Company has effected a further arrangement with the Unien Bank of Australia, by means of which the whole of the bills drawn by their principal agent, and remaining in the possession of that institution, had been met by debentures issued to the additional extent of 23,000/. The report, of which the above forms but an abstract, hav ing been read, The CHAIRMAN observed, that the minutes of the proceed ings of the Committee and other documents were in the course of preparation, and would shortly be laid before the share holders. The Secret Committee had had a heavy responsibility imposed upon them ; on the one hand, they had to take care not to reject any mode of accommodation which might benefit the colony, and which the Government might offer ; and, on the other hand, not to compromise the interests of the Com pany, or lose the opportunity of bringing the subj-et before Parliament. He trusted that the shareholders would give them an expression of opinion that they had acted to the best of their ability for the interest of the shareholders.—( Cheers. ) An able and comprehensive plan had been under the notice of the Government for some time, and there bad been a very full admission of their claims. After some remarks from General BRIGGS and others the report was adopted. Dr. EVANS then addressed the Court. He had come to this country in order to represent to the Colonial-office the wishes of the settlers in reference to some of the late proceedings of Captain Fitzroy, and also for the purpose of submitting to Lord Stanley the copy of a memorial addressed to him by the colonists —the original of whisk was transmittied through the regular official channel, the governor of the settlement—and which was adopted in consequence of certain proclamations of Captain Fitzroy's relative to the sale of waste lands. It appeared that upon the 26th of March, 1844, it was notified by a proclamation that the co lonial Government would consent to waive its right of pre emption of land, on condition of the purchasers submitting to a certain condition—namely, the payment of a registra tion fee to the local Government of 10s. per acre, in addition to the small sum payable to the natives. This pro. ceeding, however, of Captain Fitzroy's did not please the latter, and a body of 200 of them armed with muskets and to mahawks, proceeded to the Government-house, and demanded that the proclamation should be rescinded, and the regulation abolished. The demand was successful ; the Governor yielded, and on the 10th of October last another proclamation was is sued, in which it was stated that " I, the Governor, acting on behalf of her Majesty the Queen, do hereby proclaim and declare that from this day no fees will be demanded on consent ing to waive the right of pre-emption :—that the fees payable on the issue of Crown grants will be at the,rate" of, one penny per acre." These proceedings of the Governel.'weTe, he con tended, neither more nor less than attempted infractions of an Act of the Imperial Legislature, and virtual reductions of the value of the land, which it was provided should be sold at a minimum price of a pound sterling, to a penny per acre. In consequence of th s step, and others of a similar character, a memorial to Lord Stanley had been drawn up. He then read a long letter addressed to Lord Stanley, giving an account of the state of the colony and Captain Fitzroy's condact, which he strongly blamed. After thanks were voted to Dr. Evans and the Noble Chair man, the Court adjourned. FIRE AT RAGGETT'S HOTEL. The shoring up of the walls had net up to Thursday night ben completed ; nevertheless, portions of them were rendered sufficiently secure to enable the firemen, under the direction of Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent of the brigade, to enter the ruins, and, at the urgent request of the family of Mrs. Round, to pursue their search, in order, if possible, to discover her body, they, it is stated, being impressed with the conviction that the remains, not identified before the jury, were not hers. Twelve firemen were appointed for this task, and did so for a considerable period, in the presence of Lord Huntingdon, his brother, Captain Hastings, and two of the sons of Mrs. Round. For several hours nothing was discovered of any consequence, but about half-past one o'clock in the afternoon, Fogo, the foreman of the brigade, who, together with Lord Huntingdon and the butler of Mrs. Round, were turning over some rubbish, observed the remains of one of the Countess of Huntingdon's toilet boxes, containing jewels of the value of 2501. ; although the case was nearly burnt to a cinder, strange to say the jewels were but slightly injured. Encouraged by this success, his Lordship increased his exertions in order to find the more valuable case of jewels, which, however, was not found. Up to six o'clock, a considerable number of diamonds and other jewels were found, which were identified as belonging to Mrs. Round. During the afternoon the firemen succeeded in recovering the large chest of plate belonging to Mr. King, and on that gentle. man receiving information of the fact he attended for the purpose of having it removed. At the moment, however, Mr. King was about to do so, a person who gave his name as Mr. Abbott, of Portsea House, Southampton, entered the ruins, accompanied by a man who was said to be a sheriff's officer. He informed Inspector Aggs that he was the landlord of the house, that the deceased Mr. Raggett was his tenant, and owed him four years' rent, amounting to the sum of 1,0001., and that every article in the ruins belonged to him, as he had instituted legal proceedings, and was prepared with a warrant to levy a distress on everything that was contained in them. Under the circurn. stances he prohibited the removal of the property said to belong to Mr. King. Mr. Inspector Aggs immediately conveyed this infor mation to the Earl of Huntingdon and the family of Mrs. Round. They immediately had an interview with Mr. Abbott, and urged upon him to reconsider the step he was about to take. The result was, that Mr. Abbott consented to permit Lord Huntingdon and the relatives of Mrs. Round to retain what they had discovered, and what they could find up to sunset, but refused to do so with regard to Mr. King's plate, declaring that the legal proceedings with respect to the ruins wouid be enforced after that period. Respecting the fate of Mrs. Round, the facts which have been hitherto elicited are, to the members of her family, exceedingly unsatisfactory, and on this point our reporter had yesterday the following communicated to him by the sons of that lady, derived from their sister :—They state that Miss Round informs them that she and her mother were in the act of sitting down to supper when they heard the screams of " Fire." They went out of the room together and looked over the bannisters, although, on opening the room door, they were met by a great body of smoke. I On going to the landing to see where it came from, Mrs. Round went down the stairs one or two steps. They then saw flames rushing up the stairs, and her mother screamed and fell backwards on the landing. She tried all she could to drag her mother back to their apartment, but was unable to do so from the smoke, and seeing some men on the stairs she made certain they would rescue her mother, and ran back herself. Having remained in her apartment for a few seconds, and feeling recovered, Miss Round determined to return to her mother, but on re-opening the door, so rapid was the fire, that not only smoke but a body of flame was on the staircase. She had in the interval called the servant, who came out with her, and they were both forced to retire to the apartment, where they remained until the fire.escape came, and were saved. The impression, therefore, on the mind of Miss . Round is, that the fright of her mother at see ing the fire caused her to lose her senses, and never recovering them, she perished. Lord Huntingdon, on being spoken to ye>. i terday by Mrs. Round's sons on the subject, sa id he had an m. pression that he passed that lady on the stairs when escaping from the nurse's room with his son, and that she or some one else touched him on the shouldor ; but had he stayed one instant hi s own life would have fallen a sacrifice. Th e reason for Mrs. Round 's family believing that the body found by that of Mr. Raggett is not hers, is that a quantity of unburnt black hair was found near the spot, whereas Mrs. Round's was of a different colour. C ---- RED OURT, LION-SQUARE.—YROCLA- SHERIFF'S _ MATIONS OF Ourratway.—Thursday being county . day, Mr. Hemp, the officer to the Sheriff, made proclamat ion in the usua manner, and the following persons not answering when called, were declared outlaws at the suit of their several creditors :—Sir Charles Edward Gray, Knight; Patrick Leonard O'Reilly, Richard Gay, Charles Whyte, Mortmore Percy Drummond, at the suit of four several plaintiffs; Henry Whittaker, the Rev. George Budges Lee Warner, Lempster Bulkley, Charles Irvine, H. C. S. Irvine, Crew Read, Alexander Farquhar, Thomas Elisha Bram mall, M. R. Fitzhenry, James Duthie, and Robert Montgomery Martin. MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES.—A nu merous meeting of Middlesex justices assembled on Thursday at the Court-house, Clerkenwell-green, for the dispatch of the general business of the county, Mr. Pownall in the chair. The report of the visiting justices of the House of Correction, together with those of the chaplain and surgeon, were read. It appears that the total number of prisoners confined in that gaol amounts to 709 males, and 29.5 females, all in good health, and attentive and orderly in their conduct. .It also stated that a new dietary had been introduced on the 6th instant. After a few remarks by some of the justices, the report was received. The report of the visiting justices and of the various officers of Westminster Bride well was laid before the Court. It appeared to be highly satisfac tory, and was accordingly received The report of the visiting justices of the New Prison stated that few punishments had taken place, and that 117 were at present confined therein, namely 68 males, 33 females, and 16 children, all healthy, there being only one in the infirmary. Their conduct appeared to be very satis factory, both as regards cleanliness and good order. The report was received. Having disposed of some other routine business, the meeting separated. The examinat; ni of Mr. V Inoles as to t i t fe.reeef etlve engineering merits of the competing lines was resumed by Mr. S,rge.int Shea. He stated that it was intended that the wardens of Roehester bridge, and the Corporation should join with the Com pany in building the bridge, which would be much mere commodious to the inhabitants and snore orna mental to the town then the present one, which was not in a direct line with the tiain streets of Rochester and Stroud, as was the old bridge, and le the new one is intended to be. The clear way in the centre of the bridge would be IS feet above high water mark, being some feet higher than the present bridge. The houses to be taken down to make way for the line are, for the most part, in narrow back streets, and of little value. The line would be carried on to Maidstone, at comparatively small expense. At Chatham quays a new quay wall would be built for a distance of nearly 900 yards, leaving a space of 50 feet outside the railway. The Sauth.Eastere Com pany's plan was to cross the Medway at a lower level than he intended, and this he considered a great oversight. With respect to the powder-mills, he was satisfied that his line would be too distant for them to allow tke least hazard of damage from the sparks of the engine. Btsides,• that " to make security more sure," he would provide shields of corru gated iron above and around the engine, in the form of a tunnel, which would prevent the flying off of a single spark, and which could be lighted if necessary. There would be but one level crossing in the whole line. The distances on the whole line, and in the principal divisions of the line, as from London to Gravesend, to Sittiegbourne, to Sheerness, &c., were all in favour of the North Kr nt. There was nothing in the proposed working of the railway which could exclude the foreign traffic. The line would not be at all a competing line with the North-Eastern, until they got to Canterbury. The Nerth-Kent could nut pay at all unless they gave the utmost possible accoannochtien at the lowest possible rates, and dispatched trains very often, from six o'clock in the morning till eleven at night. The witness having further stated in detail the engineering pecu liarities of the two lines, was then examined as to the traffic. lie calculated the passenger-tiaffic alone at 173,750/., and the cost of purchase and construction at 1e249,680/. He had kneel) the country all his die, and he had no doubt in the world that, by following up the system of cheapness and accommodation to the public which he proposed, the Company would be as prosperous as any other of the same extent. Cross-examined by Mr. COCKBURN—He had not included in his estimate the cost of the several stations, which would amount to about 100,0001 This would be raised by loan, under the powers given in the Act. The branches to Blackwell and Sheerness had been given up on account of the capital not being sufficient. With respect to Woolwich-common, it had been arranged wi• h time Board of Ordnance that the line across the common should be arched over. This was not done through any apprehension of danger to the passengers from the shell.rractice on the common, as the railway would be beyond the range of the shell ; but to secure the safety of the crowds who might congregate to see the trains passing. The railway would pass close to the estate of Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, who was chairman of the Company. That was at Welling. The population of Welling was one thousand. Perhaps Sir I. L. Goldsmid might be the " Knight One thousand and one."—(A laugh.) Mr. COCKBURN—And for the one and not the thousand the rail. way came.—(A laugh.) In going to 'Welling, the populous town of Woolwich was left half a mile to the left. But that was done, not to benefit Welling or Sir I. L. Goldsmid, but to comply with the wishes of the Ordnance. In the arrangement finally come to with the wardens of Rochester Bridge, Mr. Fearon and Mr. Nicholson, on the part of the South-Eastern Company, conjoined with witness and another, who represented the North Kent Company. The cross—examination was continued to the rising of the Com mittee at four o'clock, but it referred altogether to minute details of no very interesting character. The Committee adjourned to twelve o'clock on Monday. GROUP DD. TIE CLYDESDALE, JUNCTION RAILWAY. The Committee assembled this morning at half past eleven o'clock, and soon after proceeded to the consideration of t'.e above scheme. Petitions in opposition to the construction of the proposed line had been put in be the trustees of the Clyde Navigation, the barony of Gorbals, the Paisley and Ardrossan Canal Company, the G as gow, Garnkirk, and Coatbridge Railway, the Paisley and Ayr Rail. way, and by several private indiduals, who opposed as landowners. Mr. COCKBURN opened the case by observing, that he would proceed to state to the Committee the objects and advantages of the railway for which he appeared. The scheme was entitled a Bill for making a railway from the city and harbour of Glasgow, to Hamilton, and to the Wishaw and Coltness Railway, at Mother well, to be called the Clydesdale Junction Railway. It was pro posed by this railway to connect the town and harbour of Glasgow with Rutherglen, from thence it proceeded to a place called Park Homestead, at which place the line divided into a fork, one branch of which led to Hamilton, and the other to Motherwell. The ob. ject of these two lines was threefold. One very important object was to connect the Motherwell branch wish the main trunk line, already brought before the Committee under the title of the Cale donian. The first advantage to which be would call the atten tion of the Committee was, that a railway communication would be established between Hamilton and the left bank of the Clyde. Secondly, a continuous route would be obtained between Glasgow and Bothwell, and the parish of Dalziel ; and the third object to be attained was to connect the Wishart and Coltness Railway and Wilsontown with the city of Glasgow. The whole of these dis tricts are rich in minerals. From Glasgow, on the left bank of the Clyde, to Hamilton, the line passed through a series of coal fields and iron works. He felt sure the Committee would be satisfied when they had heard from the witnesses the number of works and collieries, and rich mineral fields that would be opened up if a railway were made between them and Glasgow, It was of the highest im portance that a railway cimrnunicatinn should be established in these districts. On the Motherwell branch. which led to the Dal ziel collieries, the entire district was extensively productive of mi nerals, and it was highly desirable that it should be connected with Glasgow. The principal object of the Wilsontown and Morning. side Railway had been to open up the various mineral fields which it had traversed, but this object had not yet been fully obtained, as it did not possess any comn unicatioa with the harbour at Glasgow; but the Clydesdale Junction would give it every facility, and afford another market for the constaul - tion of the produce brought from the districts - through which the Wilsontown Railway passed. The great advantage which would arise from a communication with the river was entirely lost at pre sent, owing to the broken line of connexion. The beneficial effects which would result from the construction of the line would not be confined exclusively to Glasgow, but Paisley, Ayr, and the places west of Glasgow would largely participate in the benefits to be derived, and various markets for the disposal of their produce would be opened up. He would say nothing about the engineering department, for there were no difficulties whatever to be anticipated in the con struction of the railway. Beginning at Hamilton, the line at one end approximated Motherwell, and at the other would unite at the Park Farmstead, and run on to Rutherglen, at which place it would proceed by an existing railway, called the Polloc and Govan, to within 100 • yards of the harbour at Glasgow. It was intended to purchase that railway, and the consent of the trustees had already been obtained to the bargain. The railway would then be carried down to the water's edge, where it was pro posed to carry on the line to conneet it with the Glasgow and Paisley Railway. The estimated expense of the construction of the entire works amounted to 290,0001. , to which must be added the cost of the Polloc Railway, which was calculated at about 120,0001.; and these sums added together would yield a total of 410,0001. The present intention of the Company was to have only a single line from the Forth at the Park Farmstead ; sufficient land would, however, be taken for the purposes of the other branch, which, when it suited the views of the Company, would be constructed; and a clause having special reference to this point had been inserted in the Bill, for the purpose of enabling the Board of Trade to compel the making of the branch line, should they consider it necessary. The Learned Counsel then briefly referred to the opposition which had been instituted against the Clydesdale line by several comeanies and private individuals, and concluded by saying lie was certain that the Committee would be satisfied as to the practicability of the line by the witne=ses who would be called to tender evidence as to the great traffic of tha dis tricts which it passed through, and they would without d tilt allow the preamble of the Bill to pass. Mr. Cowan called Mr. Black, baker and grain dealer, Hannaon, who was the first witness examined. He deposed as to the co..eh traffic to and from Hamilton. There were ten tons of stonecar tied daily from the neighbourhood of Hamilton into Glasgow. He had observed as many as 500 carts of fruit during the season tra velling on the . Hamilton road. He ground from 2,000 to 3,000 quar ters of wheat annually, and obtained it sometimes from Glasgow and at other times from Edinl,urgh. The flour was distributed in the neighbourhood of Hamilton. Mr. Anderson, banker at Hamilton, tendered similar evidence, Mr. Ferguson, merchant at Glasgow, and partner in the Blantyre cotton.works belongineto Messrs. H. Monteith and Co.—He had 39,000 spindles and 530 power looms in his manufactory, which were driven partly by steam power and p;.rtly by water, consisting of two water mills of 130-horse power and one steam engine of 70 horse power. The dye works were also very considerable, and quantities of madder were used in the process of dying. The number of hands employed about the works was about 900, all of whom lived within the gates of the manufactory. The population of the whole, including women and children, residing within the gates, and who depended on the work which was furnished them from the factory for their subsistence, amounted to 1,600. The quantity of cotton dyed and manu factured last year was two thousand five hundred tons. The cartage of the goods from Glasgow was contracted for at the rate of 6s. 3d. per ton. If the railway w , re made, as it passed close by the factory, the goods could be transmitted at a cheaper rate. Mr. Stewart, of Glasgow, said he was the proprietor of the iron works at Shots, ar.d was well acquainted with the neighbourhood all about Hamilton. The district was very populous, and there were also extensive mi.ieral fields consisting of coal and ironstone. It was his opinion that the making of the railway between Glasgow and Hamilton would greatly tend to open up and develop considerable traffic in those minerals. The average annual production of pig iron from one furnace was about 5,000 tons, but at present, with two furnaces, his works produced 12,000. It was intended to increase the nnmber of furnaces to four, and they would f.inish at least 25,000 tons each year. Alr a magistrate of Glasgow , an d one of the pr o prietors D W un il ry n ;an iron works, corroborated th e pre v ious testimony. of INI the r.. Cunningham, one of the partners of the firm of Murray and Cunningham, ironmasters, Glasgow, was next examined. He said there were 30,000 tons of pig iron manufactured annually at his works. The quantity of coal that was consumed in making the iron was 75,000, and of limestone 11,000. The ironstone was principally obtained from the fields in the vicinity of the works, and lime stone came from a place called Bidla. The iron manu factured was chiefly intended for exportation, and was transmitted thither for shipment to foreign parts. It was conveyed by railway and then along the Monckland Canal into Glasgow. He considered this an expensive and inconvenient mode of conveyance, and if the Clydesdale line were made, he would send his iron by it from the fork at 'Motherwell to Glasgow, provided the expense of carriage were not greater than the present mode of conveyance. Mr. Streatchbery, mineral surveyor. was examined as to the mineral fields along the Hamilton branch to Glasgow. Coal very extensively abounded in the district, and supposing the seam to be twenty. four feet deep on an area of one square mile, it would be capable of yielding 18,694,000 tons. At the present moment the produce was all conveyed by carts. It would be sent by railway if possible in preference. There was a great deal of stone in the neighbourhood of Hamilton, from which Hamilton Palace had been built, and it was extensively used for ornamental as well as building purposes. The mineral fields on the north of the Clyde were very large, and as far as he went he found them distributed along a distance of 21 miles. On cross-examination, the witness said, that es regarded the Motherwell branch, it was impossible to say how long it would be before the mineral fields in that district could be worked. Mr. Pare was next called—He stated he had superintended the getting up of the traffic tables. He had derived his informa tion principally from the witnesses who had been examined, and had accompanied their statements by actual observation. The income to be derived from the passage traffic by coachca amounted to 5,1961'; from travellers by post horses i t id private carriages, 2 These amounts had been calcula ted at an h a a ve „ rlte r a a nd per mile of lid.
