Deposit 11. 7s. 6d. per Share. (Provisionally Registered.) PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT. The object of this Company Is to supply the jnhabitants of the southern, and a portion of the northern, districts of the metropolis with the pure water of the River Wandie, in lieu of that which they at present derive through the established Companies from the Thames, contaminated as it is by the sewerage of the whole metropolis. The River Wandie rises at Croydon, and falls into the Thames at Wandsworth. The water will be taken from the mouth of the river, thus avoiding compensation to the millowners and others on the stream. This river wilibe preserved uncontaminated by means of a series of sewers constructed along its course, into which every impurity now finding its way into the stream will be turned, and flow direct info the Thames. By this mode a pure supply of water, exceeding in the driest season 27,000,000 g.illons daily, or more than four tin es the quantity supplied by the present Companies on the south side, will be secured to this Company. This project, which is of real and undoubted importance, will com mand a most profitable return on the outlay, and confer a Won on the immense population of the districts in question. The necessary surveys and estimates have been completed. Detailed prospectuses, containing the names of the Provisional Committee and officers, will be pu' lished shortly. Meantime appli cations for shares, in the form below, should be made to the joint solicitors of the Company, Messrs. Burchell, Kilgour, and Parson, 47, Parliament-street; and Messrs.

The Line will commence 'by a Junction at Ely with the Eastern Counties Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Huntingdon Railways. and will terminate at Bury by a Junction with the Ipswich and Bury Railway.

The distance from Bury, and consequently from all places eastward of that town to Peterborough—the point at which so many Lines pass- . ing from the south and cast to the north and north-west converge— will, by the Ely and Bury Line, be ten miles shorter than the route to that City by way of Cambridge.

It will provide facilities of access to all the great manufacturing, mining, and agricultural districts of the north of England, to the Isle of Man, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales; to Hamburgh, by connecting Morecombe Bay and Fleetwood Harbour on the west coast with the port of Hull on the east coast; to the lakes of Westmoreland a nd C u mberland ; to Harrogate, celebrated for its unri valled s ulphur, mineral, and chalybeate springs; and to the imp ortant intermedi ate di s t r icts between York and Lancaster, which abound with valuable minerals, and raise vast quantities of live stock and agricultural pro duce. Many places near the intended course of the line are k nown to possess inexhaustible supplies of lead, iron , slate, limestone, free. atone, and other useful minerals, but these are now comparatively unavailing, from the great cast of coals and carriage. The railway will rapidly develop these sources of prosperity, byintrodiacing coals at a low price, and providing cheap carriage for mineral produce of every kind;' it will also furnish a most desirable means of transit for passengers and merchandise to and from every part of the king_ dour, and a cheap conveyance for immense quantities of live stock and agricultural produce from the rural to the manufacturing and mining districts. Many completed and projected railways will intersect this line, and greatly facilitate traffic and intercourse in every direction ; with the Directors of these railways, and of various others which have a station at York or Lancaster, the Committee will endeavour to make arrangements likely to prove mutually b ene _ tidal, and they have much pleasure in stating that the landowners along the line arc extremely favourable to the undertaking, and con eider it will materially augment the value of their possessions and prove advantageous to the country and the shareholders. It has been fully ascertained that the proposed line presents but few engineering difficulties, and that, although it will pass through anEarPler,lnyseoPik;7sitr. Thackray, some very hilly districts, it may be constructed along with favourable gradients throughout nearly its entire course. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Parliament valleys, and to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at four per cent. per annum on all calls, from the passing of the Act to the opening of the line.

She was suddenly upset in a 4quall while on her voyage, and a brief summary of the extraordinary escape of the crew has already appeared in our columns, but we have 111(1 sent to us the fol lowing more detailed account of the shipwreck :—On the Eth of March, in lat. 1 deg. 18 min. N., and long. 3 (leg. 30 min. N.. at noon, Cape Three Points, the nearest lard bearing N.N.E , distant about 230 miles, about three P.M., when under sail,. steering W.N.W., with a breez.3from the south, a squall was observed coming up astern. Sail was immediately shortened, but the man at the helm, instead of keeping her in the course she was steering, as he was ordered by Lieutenant Wilson to do, put the helm sport, and then brought her by the lee ; the squall took her at the sane moment, and she turned over in a minute on her beam ends and filled. The squall passed over in half an hour. No lives had been lost. The whole number were huddled together on the gunwale. Having no boat, and fearing that she might not float along, the only expedient that occurred to them for saying . their - lives was the construction of a raft, which was immediately set about. Three of the seamen had knives, with which they began at once to cut all the spars, canvas, and cordage that could be got at ; the main-boom was not obtained without great dif ficulty, and then only. by the Kroemen diving and cutting the g:ar under water. Before dark they had suect eded in lashing the main-yard, fore and maintopsail, top-gal lantsail yards, studsail booms and gaffs, for a raft ; it was then shifted to leeward of the vessel, and all handQ, ten in number, got upon it, apprehensive that-the vessel might sink during the night. In the morning, finding the raft was hardly able to carry them all, the fot ; eyard was added as an outside spar, the reaiemboorn being on the other side, and the smaller spars amidships, The only provision they could procure was a little putrid pork, no water, and about a gallon and a half of rum, which had been lashed on deck. Nothing else could be procured, for the Kroomen, though expert divers, were prevented by the slave-deck from getting into the vessel. Having nothing but their light clothing, some canvas was taken from the sails to serve as protection from the weather, gad all the small rope that could be procured was also placed upon the 'raft,. for the purpose of re placing the lashings should they be long npnu it. As much of the planking of the balwarlts as oould be torn off was preserved for paddles to steer with, and for eats. About four 4.x. of the 19th, finding thP :c . tiooner had settled clown considerably, and t _ h rG nothing more was to be got from her, p mast and sail was rigged, and they cast ‘,"! from the wreck in good spirits, in the hope ,a reaching land, Having no compass, the sun by day and the stars by night were their guide. For four days there was no appearances of rain, and all suffered much from thirst ; and so few clothes had been saved, that in the day they were scorched by the sun, and at night the cold was intense. From the weight upon the raft, and from the circumstance of all the spars having their fit tings upon them, it swam very deep, which kept them constantly immersed in water, and if they lay down, the sea washed over their heads; in fact, the fore part of the raft was from two to three feet under water. On the fifth day they caught a little rain water, which served to revive every one, and on the seventh day they obtained another, though more scanty supply. On the ninth day two of the Kroomen were delirious from drinking salt water, and in the evening the Quar ter-master, also, became delirious from the same cause, notwithstanding their having been earnestly cautioned aeainst it, and the inevitable consequences pointed out. The sharks, which had followed them from the third day, began now to swim round the raft, and an attempt Was successfully made to catch one ; a bait was held out, and when the shark was in the act of turning to it, one of the Kroomen seized him by the tail, a rope was finale dively made fast, and the men cut him across the back with their knives, which rendered him comparatively powerless, and by their united efforts it was dragged open the raft. It measured between seven and eight feet in length. The blood and flesh revived them ; and that day, the tenth from leaving the wreck, it rained heavily, which enabled them to assange their thirst and to fill the empty rum cask half full of water. Nothing, how ever, could restore the three Kroomen and the Quarter master, who were previously delirious. The next morn ing one of the Kroomen was found dead on the rafr, the ether two died during the day, and the Quartermaster in the evening, giving the survivors a fearful warning of the effects of drinking salt water. The greatest care was taken of the water, a mouthful being served out three times a day in the heel of a shoe. They caught at intervals three more sharks, in the same manner as before, and some flying fists ; the, latter, however, they could scarcely swallow, so parched were their throats. They found the sharks much more nourishing and easy to eat. It rained once or twice afterwards, but the sea ran over their heads in such a manner that they found it impossible to catch water. Their utmost effort was now required to keep the raft together ; it often got adrift, and little rope was left to secure it. Their limbs were so swollen and ulcerated, and so little strength was left them, that they could scarcely move. The masthead had fallen down, and they were unable to raise it, so that all hope of reaching the land began to fail them. Nevertheless, the English sea men were resigned and obedient. On the 3d of April one of the Brazilians died. In the evening of the 4th of April, after having been nine teen days upon the raft, they saw the land. The next morning it was out of sight again. Soon after daylight they saw a sail to leeward ; she appeared to approach the raft, and the hope of being saved gave them strength to stand up and make signals, but in vain, for she shortly bore up and left them. They were then so weak that had the raft reached the land, they were well aware that they must have perished in the surf. Another vessel now appeared in sight, and communicated with the one they had first seen. She then stood towards them, and their hopes once more revived ; a boat was sent out, and they found they had been saved by her Majesty's brig Coquet, being then about thirty miles to leeward of St. Paul's. Four hours after they had been picked up the other Brazilian died, he also had drank salt water. The conduct of the men was most exemplary through out, and, under the Providence of God, was mainly.instru mental in preserving their lives. A STRANGE EEL. REMARKABLE DISCOVERY ut HELENSBURGH. As a party of gentlemen from Glasgow were out fish ing for eels on Saturday, opposite llelensburgh, one of them hooked a fish of unusual magnitude, which gave him a gon 1 deal of trouble to bring to the surface of the water. This being at length achieved, he was startled by observing an unusual appearance about the head of the fish a fine large eel, at least seven feet in length, and of proportionate thickness, and called out to his companions to come to his assistance. By their joint exertions, it was hauled alongside of the boat, in a state of great exhaustion ; and it was discovered, strange as it may appear, that it actually had a white hat on ! Its head had gone by some means or other clear.through the crown of the hat, which had stuck firmly upon its dorsal fin. Much wonder and amusement was of course excited by the circumstance, and the hat upon being examined was found marked with the initials C.K. of Glasgow. Inside of it were found several small crabs, which had taken advantage of the shelter it afforded to fasten themselves upon the neck of the eel, and had doubtless been the principal cause of the exhaustion of the animal. The hat was carefully taken off, and the eel, as if relieved from a great in cumbrance, appeared to have suddenly revived, and in sinuated its body through the sleeve of a shcoting coat which one of the party had left carelessly hanging over the gunwhale of the boat. In another instant, and before an effort could be made to arrest its pro gress, it darted overboard, coat and all, to the no small amazement of most of the party, and to the con sternation of the luckless wight, who was so uncere moniously deprived of his garment. In the pocket of the coat was a small whisky flask, a yellow silk handkerchief, some railway scrip, and a promissory note, due on Monday (this day), besides several letters, some of which were of a tender nature. The gentleman, whose name, for ovious reasons, we sup press, was at first inclined to jump into the water after this extraordinary depredator, but was withheld by his companions, who forthwith rowed ashore. A reward was immediately offered for the apprehension of the eel with the coat on, and we understand that the boatmen of llelensburgl: made several unsuccessful attempts during , the day to fall in with it, and that they will recom mence operations at an early hour this morning. In the meantime, the hat of C. K. remains in proper h cus tody—little the worse for its immersion ; and we ay no doubt explanationit will h delivered s r I) e z over s p h .

THE QUEEN DOWAGER.—W e hear that the Queen Dowager intends setting out early neat month on a tour through the Perthshire Highlands—and that her Majesty is expected at Tayrnouth Castle by the 9th proximo. A state ment in a London morning journal of Thursday, from a follower of the royal suite in Germany, to the effect that the Queen and Prince Albert intend revisiting Blair, immediately after their return from the Continent, has set Athole on the tiptoe of expectation—but we do not hear that it meets with any con. irmation from those who might naturally be expected to re ceivetheearliestofficial information on the point.—Perthshire Courier. On my being delivered over to the authorities at Bombay, not the s'ightest eltargt preferreddiy Capt. Mignan "in jn,tifi.:oLt.i.m of the arrest." Surely tits did not prove tlint it teas " necessary ;" " for it seemeth to me unreasonable to - send a pri:oner. and not withal to signify the crimes Lid against him." A reference to various official documents embodied in my petition, will at once convince your Lonls'ap that the violence of conduct and exp:ession, for I teas tried by court-martial, was wholly attributable to false and malicious itami sonment, preceded and r'llowed up by a se; ies of 4.;isult ing letters ; that it was expm say stated in di , . Recom mendation of the Court" that "the peisorce - had " been .placed under arrest on grounds ttinnMneckd with his military duty ;" and, cons:lintnitly, that it was not " necessary to put Lieutenant Hollis under arrest" at all. It is stated in General Wilson's testimonial (which was r:ad aloud by Mr. Escott) that " the ignominy anti suf fering," " the frequent provocations," " to which (1) was so long subject," were "all of then together per haps unprecedented to any one in tile situatior, of an nflicer in the army ;" and it is In be llped, for the honour of the service, that such diag,Tar.....lll treatment-- , - to which I have been allow. a fr .

I trust, therefore, that there will be no impropriety in publishing this letter, together with the petition, in order to remove aLy erroneous impressions which may have been formed on the subject ; and that when the ease is again brought under discussion next session of Parliament, your Lordship will do me the justice to ad mit that the arrest was as unwarrantable as the court martial resulting from it was illegal. I have the honour to be, my Lord, your T.ordship's most obedient and very humble servant, NV% Late Ueufr:nant, Madras Army. Camberwell, Aug. 30. 1°,4 ; 3, P.S. The Publiea t .'.on of this letter is the more neces sary, 111 , con a ',.quence of General Wilson's testimonial not lie 7,0 been reported; whereas your Lordship's statement appeared at full length. The former is alto gether as exculpatory of my conduct as the latter was condemnatory. The following is the petition above referrt d to:— The humble petition of William Hollis, late a Lieutenant in the 36th Regiment, Madras Native Infantry, Sheweth, That your petitioner entered the military service of the East India Company. on their Madras establishment, in the year 1826. That, in 1840, your petitioner, on his return to India (having come to England for the benefit of his health), did duty, by order of the Court of Directors, with a detachment of recruits, proceeding to Bombay in the ship " Inglis," under the com mand of Captain Robert Mignan, of the Bombay army. That the ve , sel finally sailed from Falmouth on January 6. and on March 10, and April 2, respectively, your petitioner was " ordered in arrest at large," and " under close arrest," " on grounds unconnected with his military duty" (recommendation of the court-martial), and otherwise subjected to oppression and a system of irritation, in every way calculated to drive a man to commit himself; in which object Captain Aiignan at length succeeded, and for which he ultimately received a severe reprimand in general orders. His conduct has likewise been forcibly described in the folbwinz testimonial, which your petitioner had the honour and satisfaction to receive from bis former highly respected commanding-officer, Major-General Wilson, C.D. - " 39, Dorset-square, February 8, 1841. " Having, since the letter I wrote to Mr. Hollis, at Bombay, in August last, giving my testimonial of his conduct and cha ra,Acr, from my knowledge of both as his commanding-officer, given further attention to Isis case in respect to the matter in which he was involved on bis passage from England, I can de clare it as my opinion, founded on my own knowledge of him, and the general sentiments of his brother officers, and those who have long known him, that nothing but the ignominy arid suffering, accompanied with the frequent provocations—all of them together perhaps unprecedented to any one in the situa tion of an officer in the army—to which he was so long sub ject, could have stirred him up to that violence of language for which he was afterwards brought to a court-martial. (Signed) " F. W. WILSON, Major-General." That your petitioner having, on April 3 (the day after he was placed "under close arrest"), broken his arrest's by enter ing the cuddy," and then and there insulted Captain Alignan, on his arrival at Bombay (May 3). his conduct was investi gated by a court of inquiry, whose proceeding; closed as follows : " The court think it their duty, before closing the proceed ings, to advert to the long and irritating correspondence entered into by Captain Mignon with Lieutenant Hollis, and continued after that officer had been placed in arrest; arid further to record their opinion that the many frivolous com plaints preferred by Captain Mignon against that officer, and particularly the galling, and, as it appears to the court, unwar rantable taunt, marked B in page 25 of the. correspondence, in a great measure led to those acts on the part of Lieutenant Hollis, which have been made matter fur their investigation. (Signed) A. T. REID, Major, and President. HY. HANCOCK, Major, and Mem'o.r. JS. 11. CH ALNI EBS, Capt. Marine Batt. and Member." • That in the month of June, 1840, tour petitioner was tried, and sentenced " to be dismissed the service," by a court-mar tial, " holden by virtue of a warrant from his Excellency Lieu tenant-General Sir Thomas M'Mahon, Bart., and K.C. 8., Commander-in-Chief" at Bombay; whereas, according to the then existing provisions of the Mutiny Act, the Commander in-Chief at Madras was the sole and exclusive authority to appoint a court-martial for the trial of an ()flitter belonging to that Presidency. (4 Geo. IV. cap. 51, see. 30. ) That, in the month of August foliewing, your petitioner ob tained two opinions as to the illegality of his trial—the opinion of Major-General Vans Kennedy, a high authority on points of military law, and of Mr. Cochrane, a barrister of eminence in the Supreme Court at Bombay. General Kennedy, after referring to a particular section (the thirtieth) of the Mutiny Act, comes to this conclusion : In your ca:e, Sir Thomas M'Mahon appointed a court-martial for the trial of an officer of the Madras Presidency, in which he is not employed ; and, consequently, unless the words just quoted have no meaning►, he exceeded the power vested in him, by convening a court martial for the trial of an officer who was not " of or belong ing to the Presidency of which he was Commander-in-Chief." That, in the month of September, your Petitioner, on per sonally submitting these opinions to Sir James Curiae, Gover nor at Bombay, was recommended " to go home to the Court of Directors." That accordingly your Petitioner returned to this country, and in a memorial, dated Janeary 14, 1841, solicited from the Court his restoration to the service, on the grotind of his illegal trial, but more particularly in consideration of the t,hameful treatment that led to to it. That in a letter, dated May 15, 1841, the Court refused to comply with the prayer of his memorial ; but at the same time granted him "an allowance of 701. a year," which was, pro tanto, an acknowledgment of his having been unjustly dealt with. That your Petitioner, viewing it in this light, has received the allowance under protest, and only as a part of his full pay in India as Lieutenant, to which, having been unjustly de prived of his commission, he still lays claim. That, on March 14, 1844, in a " Judgment delivered by Sir Erskine Perry, Knt., in her Majesty's Supreme Court of Judi cature at Bombay," it was decided that " jurisdiction is given to each Commander-in-Chief respectively, and to each exclu sively over his own army." The Learned Judge. moreover, very justly observed, that " in the army to which he (the offender) belongs, and where he may have been servin g for a number of years, circumstances may he known and brought forward which might have great weight with his Com mander-in-Chief towards commutation of a sentence ; but if the temporary service of a few days in another Presidency is to place his fate in the hands of another officer, to whom the same grounds for exercising a merciful discretion are not readily presentable or available, it might make all the difference be tween life and death to a prisoner ;" an observation pointedly applicable to the manner in which your Petitioner was tried, and the sentence " approved and confirmed," without any re ference made to "his Commander-in-Chief." That upon this, your Petitioner, on June 22, 1844, again re quested that the sentence of court-martial might be reversed by his restoration to the service, which was again peremptorily refused, the Court of Directors in their reply (July 8, 1844 takinr , no notice whatever of the judge's d ecision, from which there has been no appeal, but merely stating that they " de cline to depart from the decision on your case, as communi cated to you under date May 15, 1841, and as since confirmed upon repeated occa , ions. That about this very time (May and June, 1844) a Bill was brought into Parliament by the Right Hon. the Earl of Ripon, President of the Board of Control, giving to the Commander in-Chief at each Presidency the power previously assumed (and that so greatly to the injury of your petitioner) by the Commander-in -Chief at Ilombay—viz., the power of appoint ing c ourts-martial for the trial of any officer or soldier of either Presidency, " who may be, or come within the local limits of (his) command." Lastly, that your petitioner, wl en appealing to the Court of Directors (under the advice of Sir James Carnac), was not aware that there existed at the India House what appears to be a singular regulation, or by-law, by which the members of the Honourable Court are pleased to consider themselves bound and under the shelter of which it was no doubt convenient to overlook the peculiar features of his case altogether—via., " that the practice to which, in several instance:, individuals have resorted, of coming to England to appeal to them from the decisions of their local Government, is highly disapproved of by them, and will by no means tend to advance the object of those who may adopt so irregular a course." Wherefore your petitioner most humbly and respectfully prays that your Honourable House may institute such an in quiry into the merits of his case as will, he trusts, lead to the annulment of the proceedings and sentence of a court-martial, holden in a manner contrary to the provisions of an Act of Parliament ; and so make manifest that the rights and privi leges of British subjects, of soldiers, whether in the service of her Majesty or the East India Company, whether at hums or abroad, are sure to be protected. And your petitioner will ever pray. Winchester, 22c1 July, 1845. WM. lIOLLIS.

FOURTH THOUSAND OF REIVS NEW SCHOOL DICTIONARY. Just published, in large 12m0., price 6s. 64., handsomely and strongly bound. ADICTIONARY et the •ENGLISH LAN GUAGE, containing the Pronunciation, Etymology, and Explanation of all•WordS authorised by' eminent Writers ' • to which are added, a Vivabulary of the Roots of English Words, and an Accented List of Greek, Latin, an 1 Scripture Proper Names. By ALEXANDER REID, A M., Rector of the.Clrcus-place School, Edinburgh, Autlior of " Rudiments of English Composition," &c. In this Work, to which the Author has devoted the labour of se veral years, an attempt has been made to compile a School Dic tionary adapted to the present state of the English language, and to the improved methods of teaching. It contains every word which has been sanctioned by the use of eminent authors, except such as have become obsolete, or are merely technical. While the usual alphabetical arrangement is preserved, the words are at the same time grouped in such a manner as to show their etymologies , affinity; and after the first word of each group, is given the root from which they are derived. These roots are afterwards arranged into a Vocabulary; so that the Dictionary may be used either for reference, or for teaching Derivation. The Pronunciation, which is indicated by a simple notation, is that of Walker, unless when the latter differs from prevailing usage, or from the majority of compe tent authorities. The Classical and Scripture Proper Names are printed in • one list, and are divided into syllables, and accented as they ought to be pronounced.
