A COMPANY is in course of formation for the purpose of con structing a RAILWAY through and across the ISLE of WIGHT. A Preliminary survey of the country and investigation into tradle have been made, which justify the expectation that a system of rit'lway communication can be framed, calculated to turtker the interests and develop the resources of the island, and to render a liberal return for the capital to be invested, withoat unduly invading the privacy of property. The promoters are anxious to give 11t11 consideration to parties locally interested; but It is hoped that as the amount of capital re quired for the undertaking is limited, applicants for shares will confine their claims to such a number as they nutty desire per manently to hold. Capital, $100,900,is 25 , 000 Slhares of £2O sash. Deposit, £1 per Share. PROVISIONAL COMMITTRS.

With the exception of the Suffolk Stakes, which I booked as a certainty for t'auld mare, my estimate of the running last week at Newmarket and Manchester was tolerably correct. The object which has fora long time occupied the attention of every railway proprietary whose line terminates near the metropolis, viz., the attainment of some point for their terminus situated more centrally, and with readier aocess to London travellers than their pre sent Nike, appear now to be In oilutteepf completion. •.• Two principal lines of railway, the South Western and South Eastern, have proposed and intend to carry into effect extensions of their lines from the existing termini to the neighbourhood of the Waterloo and Hungerford Bridges, and to this point the traffic from Birmingham and the North of England will also be enabled to pro ceed, through the contemplated extension of the West London Rail way, aeross the Thames to a junction with the South Western Line. The perfect attainment of the object in view will, however, remain unaccomplished, so long as the terminating point is kept on the south side of the river; since, although a considerable improvement as compared with the present positions will thereby be effected, still the station in the Waterloo-bridge-road is remote and inconvenient to the larger proportion of travellers, and the evils now so justly complained of will be far from completely obviated. It is with the view of supplying this deficiency that the promoters of the London Central Railway Terminus lay their project before the public. They propose to provide means whereby the passenger ear riages from every line in connexion with the metropolis, can be con veyed across the Thames to a general station erected in the imme diate vicinity of Charing-cross. For this purpose plans have been prepared, which have resolved the approval of the most eminent engineers, for carrying a double line of rails over the river, adjoining the new Hungerford Suspension bridge, and supported by a simple and inexpensive addition to the present erections of that structure. During the present week some very good sport will be seen at the Gorhambury and Shrewsbury meetings. The former commences this day with the Gorhambury Handicap, which, if Fitzallen does not carry off, will moat assuredly be pocketed by Mr. Meiklam. The Pim Stakes, for three-year. olds, will have Crim Con for winner. The Brigade Stakes will have Scarmentado for winner if he goes, if not The Altered One. On Wednesday Lord Verulam will pocket the Double Headed Oak Stakes with Maynooth, Crim Con second. The Park Stakes, for two-year-olds, has a dozen nomina tions, several of which I know nothing about, but I should say Cherokee and Anna Bullen would be the first two at the finish. The St. Alban's Handicap I shall leave to Auld Lang Syne or Europa, the latter the victor. - At Shrewsbury, on Wednesday, the 20 sous. Sweepstakes for three-year-olds, will go into Mr. Hill's pocket. The Great Cleveland Handicap has 21 acceptances, and is very likely to produce a good race. Milton and Young Lochinvar are in very nicely, and will be close up at the finish ; but, as in the previous race, Mr. Kill will own the winner. The Innkeepers' Plate will go to Mr. Meiklam, with Inhe. ritress, or else to Mr. Hill. For the vast amount of traffic which will thus be brought to the Middlesex side of the river, it is intended to provide a central station of corresponding magnitude. The Company, therefore, purpose to undertake the execution of an embankment, in connexion with the scheme of Ihe Government for embanking the Thames, for the dis tance lying between Waterloo and Hungerford-bridles, and on the area thus obtained from the river, to erect a station of size sufficient to supply the purposes of every separate railway, and furnished with every requisite provision for the wants of the respective Companies and the convenience of their passengers. The property of the Com pany will extend through the whole frontage of the Adelphi-terrace, the present buildings of which, as well as those to be hereafter erected, will be admirably adapted for a series of splendid hotels. This project would have been before the public at an earlier period, but the projectors were desirous of obtaining the full concurrence of her Majesty's Commissioners for Metropolitan Improvements; and they are now enabled to state, that the plans of the said embank ment have been laid before the Commissioners, and have met with their decided approval. On the south side of tke river the proposed railway will join the several extension lines at their nearest point of approach to the Thames and to each other, and thus will constitute a leader into the heart of London for the Birmingham, South Western, Brighton, and South Eastern lines, at present existing, as well as for the various proposed lines through Kent, and to Richmond and Stained, which will shortly be in course of construction. The Directors of several of the above-mentioned Companies have already expressed their ap probation of the undertaking; but the advantages it offers aro so great and obvious that there can be no doubt of the cordial co-opera tion of the managers and proprietors of the ether lines, without ex eeption. The Hawkstone Cup ought to go to either Alice Haw thorn or Foig-a-ballagh, should either start. I will, in conclusion, say a few words on the approaching Derby. At present it seems likely that about four or five and-twenty will be brought to the post, of which the follow ing are the " cream :"—ldas, Weatherbit, The Libel, Pam, Old England, Pantasa, Laird-e'-Cockpen, and Maynooth. Out of these the three best to stand upon are Old England, Pantasa, and The Libel. I shall enter more fully into the " crack affairs" at Epsom next week. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

Out of the above unusually' full list, we may make a se lection of four horses as having been in very general favour, namely, Idas,Weatherbit, Alarm, and Doleful. The odds laid against the first were the same that we have quoted for some time, namely, 2 to 1, but as on all previous occasions, offered at the finish. On Weatherbit the outlay was small, owing, not to the want of friends—of these there was no-lack— but to the refusal of the layers to exceed 7to 1. Alarm was backed heavily at 10 and 11 to 1, and Doleful, near the end Kle;ry - ApPaigh...ta_back the Merry Monarch in immense favour at 4 to 1 , and that 8 to 1 was taken to three or four h undred p ounds about Forth's lot. that wert d i f ol; Day's lot was observation.was any wr m e o h v a e d m a e l n m t satmo forgottenngst th e t o mention outsiders The plan presents no features of difficulty, or involving the neces sity of any extraordinary expense. The ground t• be occupied by the station will, ttom its peculiar character, be obtainable at a com paratively small cost; and from estimates carefully prepared, it is proved that a capital of 500,0001. will be sufficient for the accomplish ment of every purpose in contemplation. This capital it is proposed to raise in 24,000 shares of 201. each. In order to favour the maltitudlnous travellers for short distances out of London, the toll charged to passengers for any station short of twenty miles will be less than that required from those bound on more extended journeys, and who are more likely to be membered with luggage. An average of 2d. has been assumed •pan the whole number estimated. From the traffic returns of the railways now completed, together with the increase to be derived from the lines at present before Par liament, it is estimated that the annual number of arrivals and de partures of passengers from their London termini, who will select the Central Station for their landing point, will amount to 5,500,000; the groes receipt from whom, at a toll of Id. each, will be 45,0001. per annum. From this amount a deduction of 20 per cent. for working expenses, &c. (including the rental to the Proprietors of Hengertbrd bridge , will be amply sufficient, as the Company will have no need of locomotives, and therefore be freed from those items which occa- Mon the heaviest expenditure en other railways.

NATIONAL ANTI-CORN-LAW BAZAAR. The Council of the League beg to announce that, for the convenience of those classes who are unable to visit the Bazaar during the usual hours of admission, the THEATRE will be OPEN until E. W. AN IMPORTANT NEW WORK.—We learn that Mr Bentley has in the press, and will publish in the course of a very few days, a new work by the Hon. Richard Rush, consisting of an account of his embassy at the Court of London, from 1819 to 1825, which embraces the negotiations of the important questions con nected with Oregon, the Boundary Line, Free Navigation of the St. Lawrence, Right of Search, &c. Connected with these grave and important matters, the work abounds with anecdotes and conversations of the statesmen and wits of the day. The pro trracted negotiations, it may be remembered, were carried on with Lord Castlereagh, Mr. Canning, Mr. Huskisson, &c. The work is a second series of Mr. Rush's " Residence in London," published some years since. Mr. Wilson continues his Be t entertainmen at the Music Hall wit h undiminished success. Last night he gave " Anither Nicht wi' Burns," being a sequel to the former " Nicht," all the songs of which were sung and acted vr:th this favourite vo calist's usual thrilling style. He announced that his " Morning Entertainments," at the Queen's Concert Rooms, commence to morrow, where he had such fashionable audiences last Seaton; we doubt not but they will be equally successful this time. THE SUPPOSED MURDER NEAR HAMPSTEAD. — Mrs. Cunningham, the wife of the unfortunate man who was found dead in a ditch at Hampstead, states that when he left home on Thursday evening he had with him a pair of silver spectacles, which he purchased at Mr. Woodward's, the optician, of Clement's Inn-passage, and gave '2Bs. for them. As neither these nor his hat have as yet, been found, it strengthens the suspicions that some foul play has been prac tised towards him. Shortl y before he wase last seen by his friends, he called at the shop of his employer, Mr. Moody, of the Stra nd, and in q uired res p ectin g a coat w hich he had to make, promising s h o rt l y to re turn. Although he was noticed by several persons in the neighbourhood of Hampstead upon the Friday afternoon, he is known to have been seen in com pany with two men in Russell-square, as late as half.past eight on the same evening ; at that time he had a sm i a e ll stick with him, and was apparently ent ly th between e worse h i f o t rl r iq had as a b l e p e nemployed thir teen H n r and fourmtea e s n te y r e , a b r g w t h r o es m hi l m ie a most excellent character.

' The proposed line is intended to leave Derby on the south, passing near to Etwall and crossing the Dove at Tutbury, to continue through the valley of that river to Uttoxeter ; it will then proceed by the intervening valleys, by Longton and Lane End to Stoke in the heart of the Potteries, and thence to Crewe ; the last link (from Stoke to Crewe) is intended to he supplied by the Grand Junction Potteries Branch.—The line will thus traverse a district at present totally without railway accommodation, and (except for a portion of it) not included in any other project. A preliminary view has been taken, and the line presents no engineering difficulties of importance. The line is proposed to be taken in such a direction as to avoid objections by gentlemen having residences near it, and the land owners generally. The saving of distances between the places proposed to be thus connected will be as follows : Length of By Derby present route. and Crewe. !faring Mlles. Mlles. Mlles. From Derby to Liverpool (by Derby and Birmingham and Grand Juno tion Railways) .. From Derby to Liverpool (by Shef field and Manchester) ••• • • • .... 117 90% 2 , 6 % From Derby to Ireland (by Derby and Birmingham and Grand June tion, with 138 miles of Sea) •• • • From Derby to Ireland (by Sheffield and Manchester, with ditto) •• • • „ „ (by Crewe and Holyhead, with 64 miles of Sea) .. ••• • • ..... 279 231 And as contrasted with the Trent Valley Route : From Derby to Liverpool (by Tam worth, Trent Valley, and Grand Juncti0n).................. From Derby to the Potteries (by Trent Valley and Potteries scheme) 61 36 25 The traffic thus opened for the manufactures of the Potteries, and the extensive mills and works throughout the Staffordshire portion of the line, is of a highly remunerating character, and capable of large development of General Traffic also, and especially in Corn, Malt, Coal, Clay, Lime, Slates, and Plaster, the amount has been ascer tain to be considerable ; and it may be added that by the existing and projected lines branching westward from Crewe, this line will afford a direct and most useful communication between the Midland Counties and the mineral districts of North Wales. An arrangement has been made with the Grand Junction Com pany, whereby their friendly 00-operation has been secured, and they have agreed to contribute one-third of the required capital. One-half of the required number of shares will be reserved for landowners and parties locally interested, and the remainder (which the Committee take this opportun it y of observing, will necessarily be of very limited amount) will be allotted to parties giving unexcep tionable references, and the Provisional Committee announce that the number of shares alloted to any Member of their body shall in no ease exceed two hundred. Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per annum on all deposits and calls, from time of payment until the opening of the line. Applications for Shares may be made in the subjoined form, to the Solicitors, and Mr. Eyre, and to Messrs. Earp and Son, Sharebrokers, Derby. 227 228% 404 225 228% 26% 116% 90% 26 FORM OF APPLICATION. • the Provisional ComAnittee of the Derby and Crewo Junction Railway Company.

I/ THE COLOSSEUM, Regent's Park, is NOW OPEN, under the patronage of her Most Gracious Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The chief ioints of attraction at this gigantic establishment consist of the Glyptotheca, or Museum of Sculpture, designed and erected by Mr. William Bradwell, expressly for the exhibition of the finest works of Modern Sculptors, for which purpose no other building, with similar advantage, exists at present in London. The Classic Ruins and exterior Promenades, presenting models of the Temples of Theseus, Vesta, the Arch of Titus, &c.—Mont Blanc, the Mer de Glace, and Alpine Torrent, forming a hitherto unat tempted representation of the Monarch of Mountains, and its adja cent scenery, painted by Mr. Danson. The Conservatories entirely redecorated in the Arabesque style, refurnished with the choicest natural and exotio plants, and in which has been erected a gorgeous Gothic Aviary. The Stalactite Caverns at Adelsberg.—" The most magnificent of all the Temples which Nature has built for herself in the regions of night." In addition to these extraordinary and splendid novelties, the cele brated Panorama of London has been almost entirely re-painted by the original artist, Mr. E. T. Parris. The Ascending Room has been newly decorated in a most costly style of the period of La Renaissance, the whole Exhibition designed and re -modelled by Mr. W. Bradwell. Admittance, Three Shillings ; Children under Twelve, Half-price. Admittance to the Stalactite Caverns, One Shilling extra. A splendid additional entrance in Albany-street. COLOSSEUM. —The Evening Exhibition will be OPENED on MonnAz NEXT, with an entirely New and extraordinary Panorama of LONDON by NIGHT, as seen from the top of St. Paul's on a clear moonlight evening, with various effects of moving fleecy clouds, twinkling stars, myriads of lights, &c., &c. This magnificent Work of Art is erected in front of the day picture after that exhibition is closed. Such a colossal undertaking perhaps was never before contemplated. As it is impossible in an advertise ment to enter into detail, the proprietor will only quote the sentiments of a most distinguished party at a private view— " It is a new cra in art— 'Tis not a picture, It is nature." This most novel exhibition has been projected and carried out by Mr. W. Bradwell, and painted by Mr. Danson and Mr. Tclbin. Admittance, Five Shillings, which will include the Stalactite Ca verns at Adelsherg—the Chalet, with the sublime effect of the Moun tain Torrent by Night—the Glyptotheca and Refreshment Salon most brilliantly illuminated, forming a promenade perfectly unique. Open from Nine till Eleven o'clock. Entrance in Albany-street only, through the splendid new Corridor, lighted by Twenty-six Colossal Tripods. E C HEQUER BILL OFFICE, 2, WHITEHALL-YARD, MAY 20, 1845.

ON EN Tin TAILORIN_G, LY NEW PRINCIPLES, WOOLLEN -DR A pprev. On. l We confidently and positively assert that our system will effect a greater saving to the public in the article of dress, than has ever yet been realised. The Establishment of SAMUEL, BROTHERS, is the first in the world which has originated the judicious plan to which publicity is now given—a plan which cannot fail to be hailed with admiration, because, while it realises the most sanguine hopes of the economist, will he a source of pride to its Inventors, based as it is on the most enlightened views, and conducted as it will be upon the most honourable principles. We will now state in what thenovelty consists ; although simple in its details, it is most beneficial to the public in its operation, and is neither more nor less than this, —Every customer will be enabled to ascertain the value and quantity of material required for every variety of gar►yent—each and every Cloth, Cassmere, Doeskin, &c. being marked in plain figures at the price per yard, such price being the same as would be charged upon the purchase of the material by wholesale. We shall explain to our patrons the exact quantity that will be necessary for the particular article of dress wanted, and we shall charge separately for the making and trimmings. This system, as a 'trial of its operation will abundantly demonstrate, will effect a saving of fUlly one-third of the expense of the articles re quired in Gentlemen's dress. The peculiar advantages of the system of SAMUEL, BROTHERS, may be practicably exemplified as follows: — The average quantity of Cloth for a Coat is 1N yards, suppose that selected be Bs. per yard, the material would cost 145., our charge for making and trimmings would be IBs., thus a really good serviceable Coat completed in the best style will be made to measure for 325. Again, suppose the Cloth selected to be 12s. per yard, the material would cost 215., our charge would be 20s. for making and trimmings, and thus a first-rate Coat made to measure and com pleted in the best style will be obtained for 415., few, if any, charge less than 50s or 525. for the same article. The same saving will be effected in every description of Clothing. Our charge for making and trimming a Coat for Cloths under 10s. per yard is 18s. and for the higher price Cloths 20s. In quality of cloths, variety of patterns for Trousers—richness and novelty in designs for Vestings, we flatter ourselves that we have a stock that will please every beholder. Noblemen and Gentlemen on inspecting our mode of transacting business, will be astonished at the saving they may effect in their Liveries, in many instances nearly one-half. In order to give every satisfaction, we promise that should an article, after It has been paid for, not please, we will exchange it, or return the money without demur. LADIES' RIDING HABITS MADE IN A VERY SUPERIOR MANNER We have a very extensive Stock of Superior Ready-Made Clothes, which we offer at such prices as must ensure unqualified satisfaction.

The great celebrity which these Pills have obtained amongst a large circle of the Nobility and Gentry, as a mild, cooling Aperient, has induced the Proprietor to bring them more prominently before the public.

Sir James Eyre, M.D. Edward Thomas Whitaker, Esq. Matthew Forster, Esq., M.P. George Frederick Young, Esq. The popularity which this Company has attained may be illus trated by the fact, that life assurances to the extent of half a million sterling were proposed to the Directors, in the year 1844 alone. This is the year in which the third division of the Company's pro fits falls to be made. The necessary investigation is now in progress, and all persons assuring before 15th November next, will share in the division.

Circumstances to which it is unnecessary to allude, have rendered the subscriptions in Ireland comparatively small, and for the sum of 8,300/. I am principally indebted to the high.minded generous people of England." Father Mathew concluded his letter by the following allusion to his affairs :—" Having some time since, by the sacrifice of per sonal and family property, by insurances and other securities, raised money to pay the medal man ufacturers (my only cre ditors). the above sum will enable me to extricate myself from all my ern. barrassments, and place myself in the same position in which I stood before I entered on the temperance mission."
