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.

They regret that, in consequence of the numerous applications, more delay has taken place than was at first anticipated. All applicants not receiving letters of allotment must not consider that their applications were overlooked, but that the great demand for Shares over and above the number to be allotted necessarily prevented their being granted. The Committee are happy to be able to inform their Subscribers that nearly the whole of the landowners along the line have promised their support, and that they have also secured the co-operation of many influential local gentlemen. These advantages, coupled with the intrinsic merits of the under taking, lead the Committee confidently to anticipate a successful result to their application to Parliament next session. The surveys are being proceeded with, and all the requisite measures are being taken for a due compliance with the standing orders. E. D. CHATTAWAY. 0tA911 5 ; faa Meratittltreit.

Peerceeding to the manufacturing town of Witney, a line is crossed communicating with the Stroudwater district of manufactures by the Oxford and Cheltenham Railway, thence the projected line trends di rectly S.W., leaving Bampton to the east, until it reaches Lechlade, a town seated at the efflux of the 'Thames and Severn navigation with the River Thames, and where a considerable entrepot for mer chandise is established. Keeping within easy distances of Farringdon, Cricklade, and nigh worth, it reaches Swindon, a rapidly improving vicinity. At this principal station, where the broad gauge is crossed, the Gloucester and Cheltenham line falls into the Great Western. The intersection of the South and Midland Junction with the Great Western at Swindon opens a most extensive and valuable oommuni catiOn with London eastward; Bristol, Bath, Gloucester, Chelten ham, Stroud, westward ; and, by the Gloucester and Aberystwith projected line, with the whole of North and South Wales.

By ALEXANDER REID, A.M., Rector of the Circus-place School, Edinburgh, Author of " Rudiments of English Composition," Sm. 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 etymological 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 Scriptur• Proper Names are printed in one list, and are divided into syllables, and accented as they ought to be pronounced.

MEETING OF MR. MIALL'S FRIENDS. Another meeting was held at the Bee Hive, Warner street, Dover-road, to hear an address from Mr. Miall in exposition of his political principles, Mr. Apsley Pellat in the Chair. Mr. MIALL was received with great cheers on rising to address the- meeting. He begged to remind those present who were really friendly to his cause that they could do him no greater harm than in attending meet ings of the other candidates and opposing their proceed ings, thereby stifling free discussion. He earnestly entreated that no friends of his would act in this foolish manner, but allow each candidate a fair and candid hearing, and afterwards refute their arguments, not by noise, but by argument. A report had gone abroad that Sir William Molesworth's Committee had opened thirty public-houses with a carte blanche to his sup porters. If that were true, every gentleman on the Committee should wash his hands of a cause that required such base means to support it. He did not want a single vote that was obtained by mistake or coercion. He would advert to another point. He found among what was called the more respectable part of the constituency that there was an outcry against him on. accoant of his extreme political sentiments, and it had been alleged against him as a crime that Mr. Feargus O'Connor bad issued an address in his favour. He (Mr. Miall) was not ashamed of any man so long as his principles were just. Even though the Times, Morn ing Post, and the whole Tory press conspired against him, that w ould not in the slightest manner affect his political sentiments. ,Although he was in favour o f the p rinci p les of the people's c harter, he was not to be i dentified with the violence with which certain parties had enforced their views. These parties had done more injury to the cause of rational liberty than all other adverse circumstances. After referring to several other topics usually taken up by the Hon. Gentleman, he concluded his address amidst loud cheers. Mr. MILLER then moved the usual resolution, that Mr. Miall was a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament. The motion was - seconded by Mr. Robson, and after remarks from Mr. Maynard and Mr. Eastwick, it was put and carried with but one dissentient. The meeting, which was a very crowded one, many persons not being able to obtain admission, then separated. THE CURRENCY QUESTION. A WORD UPON A MEASURE OF VALUE. FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) To food, the chief necessary of life and support of labour, we should, for obvious reasons, look for a mea sure of value, for the value of the products of industry vary generally in the ratio of the labour bestowed upon them in their being prepared for market. But a mea sure of value composed of food is inconvenient, and not well adapteo to facilitate the interchange of the products of the earth ; 31 has, therefore, been found necessary to use symbols or to,!tens of value ; such symbols or tokens may, however, be ‘Nprthless, intrinsically ; their value being simply conventiooal ; as in the instance of bank notes and Exchequer-bills pf the present day, and as in the instance of Exchequer' ,tallies of wood in former periods. To avoid, in future , th e great mischief and misery occasioned by tampering wit h the cuvrency, the follow ing suggestion may afford a method of its adjustment to the conditions of an increasing populativn• and conse quent increasing commercial transactions, to which, in the opinion of very many, our monetary system is not adapted. For in the event of a failure in our own home production of food, the great staple commodity of the country, or other disturbing cause, alarming mischief, it is apprehended, will ensue ; some few would be enr;ched at the expense of the very many, composing the INN ducing classes,: who would be impoverished. Upon the principle of the Tithe Commutation let us then proceed. Suppose, at the time of the tithe commu tation the relation of value then subsisting between wheat, barley, and oats, each a definite quantity on the one side, and a pound (our unit of money measure) on th other side, was just in regard to debtor and creditor, payer and receiver ; we have thence based upon TOM: sures of food a token of value denominated a pound. Having a token, or symbol, of value, the pound, de pending upon definite measures of food ; the pound, food and population may be regarded as functions each of the other. The tithe commutation was based upon the average prices of three different articles of food, wheat, barley, and oats, during the seven years preceding its enactment. Now, during that period the quantity of wheat, barley, and oats consumed ; the amount, also, of coin and bank notes in circulation, by which prices were, during the same period, mainly governed ; and the amount of popu lation fed, can, with sufficient accuracy, be obtained to afford a tolerably correct knowledge of the relations subsisting between food, money, and population. Upon such data let a paper currency be based. Let one pound notes take the place of sovereigns which, it is proposed, to withdraw and deposit for commercial pur poses. Let every bank of issue deposit in the Treasury ample securities for the amount of their issues, that is, before any bank can be supplied with stamped paper for its notes securities must have been deposited ; and when notes are worn out, and no longer fit for issue, they must be returned by the bankers to the Treasury, before stamped paper can be supplied to them for new ones. But this is a matter of detail. Bank-notes to be convertible into gold at its market price, such price being daily stated in the public papers, as in the manner of the prices of Stock. As the population increases the issue of notes shouldshuld be increased, govern ed, however, by the state prices of food. For the object in view is to maintain steady prices ; and if it should be found that prices upon an average of preceding years be dec e l niing, an d d the ratio of food and population unchangd. it show that the issue of notes should be increased ; and if the conditions be contrary, it would indicate an excess of issue. The issues of stamped paper for notes should then be contracted till the required relations between food and money be restored. A pound, at any future period would, under suc h arrangement, purchase about the same quantity of food, and be exchangable for about the same amount of labour as at the time of the Tithe Commutation. Judging from the past and present, it is not probable that the exchange of labour for food will be sensibly dia turbed ; that is, the working classes will not be epa• bled to obtain more food for their labour at a future period than at the time of the Tithille only be Commut as the in ation, for the increased produce of food w crease of population. The Quarterly dividends and salaries to be paid by Exchequer-notes, in anticipation of the quarter's reve nue, such notes to be redeemed when the quarter's re venue shall have been collected. By such an arrange ment the a mount of currency in circulation for the or dinary, transactions of dealing would not be disturbed. Gold being reserved principally for commercial pur poses, it may be sent abroad and be returned again with sensibly e s e t n h s e i b p l y a s affecti ng sing oo f t h e the u c r i r r e c n u e l y a t i B o 1 , 1 o a f s I h B a l s , h . appened enactedof Sirß ; Peel's the l Through enormous the wrongs a g e were n cy producing Currency o, a s were the greatest sufferers. The prices, as settled by the Tithe Commutation, arc not sufficiently high, under a system of a high rate of indirect taxation; yet it would be another act of injustice now to undo to the full extent what Sir H. Peel's Bill has accomplished., The suggestion offered is under a supposition that there will be no increase of indirect taxes ; and that in the event of being compelled to war, the current ex penses of the year will be defrayed by a direct and ju'stly modified income-tax. J. H. Sept. 1, 1845. THE 1111rROVEMENTS IN THE TOWER.—The im portant improvements now going on in this fortress are pro gressing more rapidly. The new Waterloo barracks, which are to be upwards of three hundred feet in length, are consi derably above the foundation, and in some parts even as high as the first story. The demolition of the present entrance, the spur gate, barracks, warders' hall, &c., will not be proceeded with until the garrison is completed. In the course of yester day several ancient and valuable relics were added to the grind armoury. Amongst them were two superb complete suits of Asiatic chain armour, formed of copper, steel, and brass. Also a shield of the sixteenth century, of considerable value, pur chased by the Board of Ordnance, representing the siege of Nantes in 1477, and the death f the Duke of Burgundy. There have also been added two cross bows, rescued from the wreck of the Mary Rosa, sunk at Spithead 250 yew sines 'which are in an excellent state of preservation. SALES BY AUCTION. 1 4//' A
