That another and a more direct line of railway is necessary between th metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Manchester, is now f illy admitted, and the question is, which is the best line to be adopt el. The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most (E -rect rot.te from London to Manchester, and will therefore complete the direct communication with the metropolis at a much less expen diture or eapital than by either of the projected London and Man chester lines (Remington's and Ashurat's), the actual distance to be constructed Wog only 73, instead of 170 to 180 miles. A careful prelhninary survey has determined the promoters of this railway to adopt nearly a straightline from Rugby to Macclesfield, s an increased expenditure of 200,0001. or 300,0001. judicially applied in the Present Perfected state of civil engineering, and at the reduced cost of the execution of earth works, will prove in the end a far greater real economy, both to the Company itself in the saving effected in the annual expense of working, and also, what is of more importance, in general. by accomplishi ng , a t a much less cost, the to the country same end proposed by an entire and distinct line from London to Manchester. These considerations have not been sufficiently kept in view by other parties who' have also proposed to make a railway from Rugby to imaeriestudd, enewho, by deviating from the direct tract to pursue valleys and to avoid the irregularities of the face of the country, obviously lose the advantages proposed by this Company. The Parliamentary decision on the choice of the Len ion and Brighton Railway is a parallel case, the direct line, although presenting more dielculties-to overcome, and involving a greater outlay, having been adopted by Parliament in preference to the many competing projects, inn more prime sinuous direction, which were at that time supported in the HOW I)7:Very influential parties. arrangements have been made by i r r e j e al e Cl eal t lal f°4n liu d ei n o ece f rails be laid between Rugby and Lon doe on the London and Birmingham Railway, whereby the surplus traffic northiVardiwill be abundantly provided for. This line also possesses the singular aevantage of affording the ghorteet and most direct route from Manchester to Southampton, Geepoet, and Portemoutho a featur presented by no other propoSed If k §t t II - ;”5, -.ing the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great ein as _ar as I , Ico:, and - clie:lce the proposed Oxford, Soathamp toa, Co 'O, ! - 0_ Lite, tis a ti.sttr.ice from Manchester to SoLtlialfotou will be Twenty-three m!lea less than by any other route and oa this a )rat the plojeci: has been Wai.r - ly supported by ih "brd, Southampton, Gosport, and Portstnoe.t Railway Company: The deviations trout a perfectly straight line between Rugby and Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or valuable buildings are very slight, and the line iii general ofiers no engineering difficulties of any Magtittlidb. The towns more directly inter cited as a local line are nineaton, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market Bosworth, Burtota-upoirtfent, Tutbury, Ashbourne, and Leek. The Compitn,y has made arrangements with the North Londo Junction hallway Company, whereby it has mitred the useo.`.'t station (of the extent of six acres) in the centre of the City of London, at the bottom of Moorgateoltfeet, which will prove of the utmost importance to this line, Amidst the many railway projects that now occupy the public mind, and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily be conceded that a line that will attain such important result' at so small all outlay of capital, and the time' required for its construction, and without interfering with any existing vested interests, must meet with general approbation, and at the Mine time offer a very excellent investment for capital The shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports mouth, in the London and Birmingham, and in the - StancheSter and Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of the shares. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent. interest on all calls.

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of passengers and goods from Kingston to Montego Bay and the inter mediate ports, either by sea or land, Is well known to all persons conversant with the islan t of Jamaica. The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and King ston, of,cupies forty-four hours ; and the costs, including expenses on the route, amount to nearly 51. each passenger, while the quickest journey by land occu-des three days, and the expenses, including horse hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole line will be traversed in eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an average of 30s. per passenger. The ditibrence in the freights between the northern and southern sides of the island and England is such, that independently of the saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at much less expense than at present, and will afford them the advan tage of sh'pping at all times from the very excellent harbour of King ston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed ports f the east and north of the island. The line will commence at a spadous quay, to be constructed at Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of the largest tonnage employed iu the export trade of the Island ; at or near to which point it is proposed to form a Junction with the King ston and Spanish Town Railway, and proceed thence by or near Rock Fort, Yallahs, Morant Town, Port Merant, Plantain Garden, Man chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio. Buff Bay. Anotto Bay, Port Maria, : 'l. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near Montego 1 ay. By these means a line of intercommunication will be formed L etween the most important and populous places, and facility offered for carriage of the produce of the most productive portion of the island. Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of moun tains, which run east and west, nearly the length of the island ; the eastern portion, from Port Morant to Plantain Garden, is almost level ; while the northern runs through an exceedingly rich country, rising into hills separate from each other by spacious vales. The whole of the country traversed by the line abounds in the staple ar ticles of sugar, coffee, ruin, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other spices, dye wood, drugs, &c. ; and as more than one-third of the land is still uncultivated, the production of these articles will, by the increased facility for traffic, be greatly increased ; and cotton, indigo, cocoa, &c., and dry stuffs, at present unimported, will again be brought into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety abounds along the line ; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes spontaneously, there are mahogany, lignurn vitm, ebony, Spanish elm, flue cedar, and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will also bring largely Into use the valuable palmetto , and various other woods for agricultural and household purposes, aid cabinet works. The mineral wealth of the country on the line is very considerable ; lead ore is extremely rich and heavily impregnated with silver ; whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate of lime, valuable as manure, &c., of which Long Mountain is com posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic. The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction of this Railway render it highly probable that a considerable portion of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material* necessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cut tings and embankments will be generally superseded. A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated land required for the line, and the free use of all the timber, stone, &c., necessary for its con struction, will, it is expected, be ceded by the Legislative Assembly ; —the mineral wealth, which may be developed by the construction of the line, will accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased to capitalists it.r the benefit of the Shareholders. Of the various imports, and the internal traffic, a satisfactory esti mate can sea 'rely be given —it will be sufficient to state, that Coals, Fish, Lime and Salt, empty Puncheons, Shingles, Bricks, Hoops, Lead, Timber, Provisions, Cattle, Flour, Tobacco, Hardwares, and Manufactures generally, form important sovsees of profit. The working expenses of the railway will require but a moderate per centage, and from all the circumstances already stated, and care ful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of railway will yield a very remunerative return upon the capital re quired, and the speedy communication established between the island and Great Britain, by means of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, will 'enable the Directors in this country to exercise an efficient control over the management of the affairs of the island. The Committee propose to make provision in the Local Act for the payment of 434 per cent. interest upon the amount paid upon the shares front the passing of the BM until the opening of the line.

As to the ti Ore on q2e lower pet lion ?f the, it ig evident, that vast it ani:j§g.pf.jliero;int,-vesg`els continitally detfiped in, the liatinel by adverse W:rds, effect int initrie4e befit iti ance and tithe, by discharging their cargoes at Falmouth, and at once transmitting them to their destination by means of this railway; and - therefore—without speculating on the extent to which the ports on either side of the great promontory of the Land's End may, by means of this railroad, attract the cOmnierce respectively of Bristol and Southampton; to what extent the inexhaustible mineral wealth of Cornwall, and the unrivalled agricultural resources of Devonshire may be further developed, or the genial climate of Penzance and Mount's Bay, " the Montpellier of England," attract a larger propor tion of winter visitants—it is obvious that this line will command a traffic both in goods and passengers, from its western terminus, the amount of which may be said to be without limit. A glance at the map will make it manifest that no competing trunk line can ever be established between Tiverton and the Land's End. As between Taunton and Reading, an inspection of the map will show a vast ex tent of midland distrivt, comprising rich and populous parts of So mersetshire, Dorsetshire, and Wiltshire, now altogether destitute of railroad accommodation. Recurring to the features of this project as a national work, one of the greatest in point of magnitude, of vital importance in the event of war, and of almost incalculable advantage to the general and packet commerce of the kingdom ; It may not be out of place to quote here the following expressions of Sir Robert Peel. Speaking of the project of a direct line from London to Liverpool through the Trent Valley, which bore much the same relation to the Birmingham and Grand Junction that this bears to the Great Western and Bristol aad Exeter Railways, be is reported to have said :—" I consider that the com munication between the metropolis and the great outports to be not promoted th at Company b had been required to pledge itself a question of hours, but a question of minutes." Of the necessity of this particular . line, Parliament has alr ea dy expresse d an o pi n ion ; for in the report of the Committee on the Wilt s , S omers et, and Weymouth Y the Great Western Railway Company, not hereafter to oppose a direct line to Falmouth; and it may be further obi.erved, that a proposed line from Plymouth to Falmouth i l t in was e, w s hi ta e t h ed w t as hat was last session rejected, on the ground that - it Might be supposed to interfere- with that great national object. The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, and correct estimates of the expenditure and returns are in a state of for wardness, and the whole will be ready for the next session of Par liament. It is sufficient, as to these points, here to state that there are no engineering difficulties in any part of the line which have not been repeatedly surmounted in other cases ; that the first portion will be constructed at an unusually small expense ; that the undertaking will meet with the cordial support, concurrence, and co-operation of the landowners, and that the Directors are justified in asserting that this will prove to be one of the most remunerative railways in the kingdom. Powers will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at four pounds per centum per annum 4n the deposits, and preference in the allotment of shares will be given to the proprietors of the land through which the line will pass, and to the shareholders in the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and other railways connected with the Direct Western district.

S. and J. R. Poole At Tiverton At Truro At Penzance At Falmouth The object of this line is to effect a direct communication between London and the Land's End. In a national point of view such a line is indispensable. With the advantage of a direct railroad, Falmouth, from its position at the western extremity of the kingdom, would undoubtedly long since have been the principal port on that coast. With the advantage of at least 280 miles of heavy road, that place has attained its high po sition as a Packet Station. Southampton, with far less natural ad vantages, has, since the opening of the South-Western Railway, in creased its imports from 200,0001. to 3,000,0001. per annum. At Bris tol, before the opening of the Great Western Railway, the imports were declining ; since then they have very considerably hicreased. The merits of a line to the Land's End as an investment for ca pital, it was not left to the present Company to discover. The Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railway having already reached Exeter, it has been in contemplation to extend that line to Fal mouth by way of Plymouth ; and various other projects have been set on foot on the conviction that Falmouth must be reached by railway.

Lord George Paget, Uxbridge Home rajor Beresford, M.P. llliam Bulkeley Hughes, Esq., M.P., Chairman of the Welsh Mid land, and Director of the &nth and Midlands' Junction Railways Richard Price, Esq., M.P., Director of the Welsh Midland, and Director of the South and Midlands' Junction Railways David R. Ross, Esq., M.P., Chairman of the Belfast, Director of the London and Manchester, and South and Midlands' Junction Rail- The object of this prospectus is to show that no other line than the present can ultimately satisfy the exigencies of the country in regard to this, its most important eutport—" the natural Packet Station of the empire." • The present project is distinguished by this—that it is direst. It is as nearly as possible a straight line from London to the Land's End. The London, Bath, and Bridgewater Company having amalga mated with this Company, the immense local influence commanded by them will now contribute to the great national object of a direct line ; while means have been taken for securing the traffic and afford ing all the accommodation contemplated by that Company. Ih3 Direct Western availing itself of the Great Western Railway so far as Reading, pursues its course by or near Newbury, Hunger ford, Great Bedwin, Marlborough, Devizes, the manufacturing dis trict of Trowbridge (from which a diverging line will be carried by Bradforddireettoßath), Westbury, Frome, Shepton Mallet, Wells (from which another diverging line will be taken to Bridgewater), any existing or projected railways between these points, and without Glastonbury to Taunton, being shorter by a b o ut thirt y -two miles than a tunnel. From Taunton the Bristol and Exeter Railway (now leased to the Great Western) is traversed to Tiverton, whence it is proposed to carry this line direct to the Land's End, Falmouth, St. Ives, and Penzanee, being shorter by about sixty miles than the lately proposed line by way of Plymouth, and effecting, in the whole distance from London to Falmouth, a saving of about ninety miles. With respect to the traffic between London and Tiverton, it is needless to say more than that there is already thorough traffic suffi cient to justify the construction of this portion of the Direct Wes tern ; that it will shorten the distance from London to Tiverton about 32 miles that it will traverse rich and populous agricultural ways Sir John E. ➢e Beauvoir, Bart., Chairman of the London and Bir mingham Extension, and Director of the South and Midlands' Junction Railways Sir William.

It appears that England will be divided longitudinally by four great lines of railway, which will become so many main trunks, intersec ing and intersected by numerous lines, both transverse and oblique, opening rapid and ready communieatios with the intermediate dis tricts, with packet stations, and with sea-port towns. The more easterly of these, which is also the longest, originating at Newcastle upon-Tyne, and passing through York, Peterborough, sad Gambridge, may be said to terminate in London, whence all places are accessiole. The second line, counting westward, is more tortuous, and has also a common northern terminus with the preceding, by which its ad vantages are materially restricted. This line, descending the Ere wash Vale, and passing through Rugby and Oxford, becomes a South ampton line by falling into the South-Western Railway at Basing stoke. The third longitudinal line, or the most westerly, is still more de fective in design than the preceding ; employing the steep and narrow railway called the Birmingham and Gloucester as its first link, it traverses nearly - in a right line the least populous and most undulating parts of Gloucester, Berks, Wilts, and Hants; and,preperly speaking, has no Independent terminus. dis A tri l c a t rg — e a ldoinagniteutdiinnvalitsinecg a tionsimoiflatrhsepeck i i n e g s d o o f m a -- c - co th m e m W o e d s a t ti t I n id i r m d concentrated local advantages, still remains unprovided with a chief trunk line ; and it is contemplated to remedy this deficiency by the present undertaking, or a fourth longitudinal line. Adopting Birmingham as a northern terminus of the West Mid land, Manchester, and Southampton Railway, it is proposed to carry a line through or near to Stratford-on-Avon, thence between Moreton, Stow, Northleach, Fairford, Cricklade, and Swindon, where it will merge in the South and Midlands' Junction Railway. The length of the proposed line will be about sixty miles, and the district traversed by It is gently undulating and densely peopled. At its Southern terminus, Swindon, it becomes identical with the South and Midlands, by means of which it opens a most direct communica tion 'hitherto suggested with the harbours of Weymouth, Cher:- church, Poole, and Southampton. At its northern terminus, Bir mingliani, it communicates with a series of lines, projected, in pro gress, or completed, which will form the most direct line that can ever tie constructed between the southern porta of England and the great totiniifaturing distridtß. ' • ' ' ' ' • ' " • • - • In the alliance of lines forming the West Midland, Manchester, irtd souilip.mnton Railwcy project, a combination of advantages pre iferitS itself of a design, to a great extent, bat of contin ger-Ties din. If 1 fie desitalcre that the 'terminus of every railway should be oltuuted s strait correrercir .or populous place, in this re spect the present project is peculiarly Aerial:rate. ; Go'verament be resolved oa counleaanciag the shoftest and most direct lines, it *lit be Seen, by laying a ru'e on the map of England from Salisbury tel Mrinciilisteri that a course due north and south between these places will paSS Vet, neatly through the towns mentioned in this prospectus, as being on the proposed live; and actual measurement has shown this line to be the shortest between Southampton and Manchester by 26 miles. Ply the construction, therefore, of little mere than 60 miles of rail, as here proposed. the shortest, most direct, and convenient communication between Manchester and Southampton will be es tablished--a line, also, however superior in position to others pro mising similar advantages. may yet be considered as competing with none, but as an independent work, originating at Birmingham and terminating in the seaports of Weymouth, Christchurch, Poole, and Southampton.

REGISTRATION COURTS. (YESTERDAY.) CITY OF LONDON. , The Revising Barrister resumed his sitting to-day at the Court of Common Pleas, Guildhall, at the usual hour, when the further consideration of the Livery list was gone into. . _ • The only case of impoitance bro - ught up was in reference to Mr. Pegg, of Old Barnet-road, Finchley. In support of the ob jection taken to his being on the register, It was proved that his re sidence was opposite to the six mile-stone on the road to Barnet, and therefore three-fourths of a mile beyond the boundary laid down by the Act of Parliament. The REVISING BARRISTER decided that the objection which was urged by the Liberals was good, and therefore Mr. Pegg's name was struck off the list. The Court then adjourned till to-morrow, 'when the Fishmonger's list will be gone Into. Her Majesty, upon the recommendation of his Grace the Commander-in-Chief, has been pleased to appoint Major-General Sir James H. Reynett, K.C.H., to the perma nent establishment of general officers receiving U. ss. pay per diem. INCREASE OF MEN IN THE DOCE-TARD.—WOOL wzor, SEPT. 15.—An order was received at the Woolwich Dock-yard, yesterday, to employ 25 shipwrights, six joiners, and six blacksmiths, in addition to the sixty shipwrights, sis joiners, and twelve blacksmiths alluded to as ordered to be employed last week. The Niger steam-vessel, building at this yard, is ordered to be constructed by task work, and will soon be ready for sea. Ten shipwrights have been sent from this dockyard to the East India Docks, at Blackwall, to assist in expediting the work requisite on the Avenger steam-frigate, that she may be made ready for sea with the least possible delay. On Friday last an ox in the pasture of Danson Park, near Welling, Kent, the seat of Mrs. Johnstone, was observed to be in a dangerous state, with the symptoms of hydrophobia. As it was known that tho,sheep and cattle had been bitten by a mad dog, Mrs. Johnstone ordered the beast to be shot. Several persons narrowly escaped from the fury of the enraged animal. . . The Jesuits of Saint Acheul, being dispersed by order of their superiors, have sold the Mason de Blament, which they possessed, at the gates of Amiens. This important establishment, which formerly contained 200 students, has been purchased by the Dames du Bon Pasteur, as a refuge for repentant young women.—Galignani. THE APPROACHING BOAT-RACE.—LIVERPOOL V. NEWCASTLE.—Henry Clasper, the lion of the northern boat racing world, leaves the Tyne to-morrow for this town, in order to prepare himself on the Mersey for his forthcoming struggle with Carrol. The boat in which he intends to row has been completed, and is considered a most beautiful model. It is made of mahogany, is French polished, measures 28 feet 4 inches in length, and weighs 421b.—Liverpool paper of yes terday. OLD PIIGILISTS.—The following is a list of the ages of the most celebrated old pugilists of the present time, and is considered by many years to be above the general average which prizefighters attain ; the majority retire from the ring at 30, and many die before they arrive at that age, and the exception is Mr. Jackson, whose first fight was in 1788, and last in 1795 ;he is now in his 78th year. Tom Cribb is 65 ; he entered the ring in 1805. Tom Belcher has attained his 63d year ; he made his debut in 1804, and retired in 1813. Mr. Gully is 60 ; he made his final appear ance in the ring in 1808. Tom Oliver is 55 ; he commenced his pugilistic career in 1811, and concluded in 1834. Tom Spring is in his 51st year ; his first fight was in 1814, and last in 1824. A royal ordonnance, approving of the adjudication of the Great Northern Railway of France to the Company Rothschild was signed by the King, at Eu, on Wednesday, as also one confirming the adjudication of the Fampoux and Hazrebruck line to the Company O'Neile. WOLVERHAMPTON.—THE IRON TRADE.—In the course of last week circulars were issued by several firms, announcing that they could not receive further orders unless at an advance of 11. per ton. One circular intimated an ad vance of 10s. per ton on nail rods ; an advance onpig-iron of from ss. to 108. per ton has also taken place.—Birmingham. Pilot. A PATRIARCII.—John Matthews, aged 114, re siding in the parish of Llandilo Talybout, together with his daughter, applied for relief, for the first time, at a meeting of our Board of Guardians, held yesterday. He was formerly a farmer and cattle-drover, but for the last thirty years had been supported by his children. An order was made for 6s. a week.—Ccnnbrian. ERRATUM,—In our report of the proceedings in the Finsbury Registration Court, it was stated that an indi vidual named Watts had claimed to vote as a lodger, and that his claim was allowed. It should have been " the claim was disallowed," and on the authority, as stated by Mr. Moylan, the Revising Barrister, of the Court of Common Pleas, which, i n l ast Hilary Term, decided that a lodger has no right to be registered. ACCIDENT AT THE VICTORIA THEATRE.—An ac cident occurred on Monday, at the Victoria Theatre, of rather a serious nature. It appears that while an actor, of the name of Harris, was waiting for his cue at one of the wings, a musket in the hands of a supernumerary accidentally went off, the wadding striking Harris's eye. He was immediately conveyed to the shop of a surgeon in the neighbourhood, and ultimately to Charing-cross Hospital, where he now lies in a very precarious state. It is feared that the sight of the eye is entirely gone. LANDLORDS AND TENANTS IN TIPPERARY.— William Beamish, Esq., Beaumont, near Cork, paid his an nual visit this week to his estate in the neighbourhood of Bor risoleigh. He personally visited each cottage and farm house —inquired into the wants and wishes of the tenants, and readily supplied them by the exhibition of a princely gene rosity. He awarded the usual premiums to the neatest cot tages and most cleanly farm yards, and directed his agent to employ drainers at his own expense, and to provide timber and slates for all the tenants who chose to build walls suffi cient to support the same. A widow whose lands had been subdivided between two sons, got an annuity of 101. for life, and some tenants who had been evicted formerly were re stored. In the same neighbourhood, there is a landlord who seldom if ever stirs abroad without being armed to the teeth, and accompanied by a few policemen ! If Tipperary had all such landlords as Mr. Beamish, there would be no crime, and no need of policemen.—Tipperary Vindicator. RED DEER.—It is well known that the red deer in some districts arrive at a larger size than in others. As an in stance, we have just heard of two magnificent stags, lately killed in Ardgour, of the respective weight of 4081bs. and 3531b5., as killed. When cleaned, including skin, head, and horns, they weighed 3351b5. and 2931b5. The fat on the haunches of those animals measured in depth above three inches. The head of the smallest, though not so fine a head as the former, has twelve good points—the other ten.--Inverneri Courier. PUBLICATIONS.
