Two Southwark electors were having a chat, Concerning the candidates—this man and that. " Pray who is the man that you wish to succeed ?" Said one, as he touch'd on political creed. " Nay, don't pester me, sir ; I don't care a pin," Bald the other, "for my part they all may get in; I only wish MOSES, or MOSES'S SON, Had entered the field, as he ought to have done ; Each one of these men would have proved on a trial, As faithful as Molesworth, or Pitcher, or Klatt. If Molesworth, or Pitcher, or Miall had done As much in apparel as MOSES and SON, 3ify vote I'd have given, and tried all I could To help the good fellow—believe me I would. Ent now, sir, I don't care the turn of a straw, Who gains or who looses, or who may withdraw." • " Well done I" said the other companion, " Well done, You're a ' back-and-edge' friend to E. MOSES and SON. • And I'm net much surprised at the warmth you express, When I think of the service they've done you In dress. You've certainly cause to respect Messrs. MOSES, For the good which their wonderful Dress Mart discloses. Nor do I much wonder, on sober reflection, That you wish they were up for the Southwark Election." ti' t :ns New Work, entitled " The Monarch Mart," with full directne for self-measurement, may now be had on application, or for -41.0ed, post free.

EDMUNDS RAILWAY. A Company is in the course of formation for the construction of a Railway &bill the city of Ely to the town of Bury St. Edmunds. The line will c3mmence by a junction at Ely with the Eastern Counties, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Lluntingdon Railways, and will terminate at Bury by a junction with the Ipswich and Bury Railway. Its object is to preserve the mercantile connexion which has for generations subsisted between the county of Suffolk, the town of Bury, and the port of Lynn, and to afford Ipswich, Colchester, and Bury, and all that portion of the kingdom a direct communication with the manufacturing districts.

The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham Railway, near Harrow, and passim; to the north of Uxbridge, will proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham to Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury ; from which place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and approaching Brackley,Will terminate by a Junction with the proposed Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury. In addition to the line above described, it is intended also to con struct a Railway from the central station of the London and Bir mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through Bicester to Oxford; and in connexion with the line here proposed, the Bedford, and London and Birmingham, Company, intend to make a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton. The proposed Buckingham and London and Birmingham Railway Company (for the construction of a linefrom Wolverton to Bicester) is amalgamated with this Company. Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert Stephenson,' and it has been ascertained that no engineering difficulty of importance presents itself. The undertaking has already received the sanction and support of a very large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of land through or near whose property it is intended to pass. It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation, and under the direction and superintendence of the London and Birmingham Railway Company ; under a lease, in perpetuity, at four per cent. per annum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange ment as to the surplus profits. It is intended to offer the shares in such proportion as the amount of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London, Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway Company, subject to the approbation of the Committee of Management, with the exception •f such as may be required for parties having local interests.

The London Joint Stock Bank, London the Liverpool Borough Bank, Liverpool SECRETARY (pro tem.)---Mr. George Upton, It is proposed, in the first instance, to make a railway from Callao, the chief port, to Li!na, the capital of Pent, the great marts of trade, and general resort of the whole Peruvian nation ; and afterwards to lay down-Such lines on the coast of the Pacific as may be approved of by the Shareholders at a general Meeting. The distance from Callao to Lima is about seven English miles. There is open ground all the way suited to receive the rails, the gra. client uniform, and no curves, with an abundant supply of water power, so that there will be an entire saving of fuel. It is estimated that the Cost of this line will not exceed 50,000/. ; and, when it is considered that it will command the whole traffic of passengers, and the conveyance cf goods between the chief port and the capital of Pent, it may fairly be assumed that the undertaking will be one of unusual profit. Should the operations of the Company be confined to the line be tween Callao and Lima, no further portion of the capital will be called for than may be sufficient to construct that line.

Sir Claude Scott, Bart., and Co., 1, Cavendish-square. Messrs. Rogers, Olding, and Co., 29, Clement's-lane The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of passengers and goods from Kingston to Mentego Bay and the inter mediate ports, either by sea or land, is well known to all persons conversant with the Island of Jamaica. The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and King. ston occupies forty-four hours, and the costs, including expenses on the route, amount to nearly 5/. each passenger, while the quickest journey by land occupies 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 difference 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 shipping at all times from the very excellent harbour of Kingston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed ports of the east and north of the island. The line will commence at a spacious quay, to be constructed at Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of the largest tonnage employed in 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 Morant, Plantain Garden, Man chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Annotto Bay, Port Maria, St. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near Montego Bay. By these means a line of intercommunication will be formed between the most important and populous places, and facility offered for carriage of the produce of the most productive por tion of the island. Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of mountains 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 articles of sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other spices, dye woods, 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 dye 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, lignum vita, ebony, Spanish elm, fine 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, and 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 corn posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic. The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construc tion of this railway, render it highlyprobable, that a considerable por tion of the capital demanded will not be required, as every mate rial* necessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cuttings 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 construction, will, it is expected, be ceded by the Legislative Assem bly ;—the mineral wealth which may be developed by the construc tion of the line, will accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased to capitalists for the benefit of the shareholders. Of the various imports, and the internal traffic, a satisfactory estimate can scarcely 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 ma nufactures generally, form important sources 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. The Committee propose to make provision in the Local Act for the payment of 4% per cent. interest upon the amount paid upon the shares from the passing of the Bill until the opening of the line. Application for Shares in the annexed Form may be made to the Provisional Committee, at the Offices of the Company, 43, Moor gate-street; and Messrs. Elmslle and Preston, solicitors, 47, Moor gate-street, London : To the Provisional Committee of the Jamaica Southern, Eastern, and Northern Railway.

JAMAICA SOUTHERN, EASTERN, AND NORTHERN RAILWAY. gins public attention was drawn to this Railway, several compe titors. have arisen for a Northern portion of the Line, viz.—that be tween Port Maria and Montego Bay; these sprung up during the present ,month, in the order in which their names are here given : The North Midland (second) Extension ; the Western Jamaica Connecting Company, the promoters of which, changing its line from the'South to the North of the Island, and dropping the word in italics, calls itself the Western Jamaica ; and, lastly, the North Jamaica. As none of these schemes, however, pretend to a King ston terminus, except through the problematical tunnel, or rather, longitudinal mine, of the North Midland's first extension, under the Blue Mount yin Range, they cannot be considered prejudicial to the comprehensive completeness of the Southern, Eastern, and Northern Line ; and as the same will efficiently supply all the wants of the country through which it passes , no real competition need be appre hended from the pretensions of those who, seemingly without consi deration, venture so late into a field already occupied. It will be borne in mind, too, that this line, as a whole, can be worked in a better manlier, that is, snore usefully and economically under the management of one company, than if it were cut up into several petty parts, under the direction ofindividual heads. And be it remembered that the usefulness or rather uselessness of the above lines competing with this Company, consists merely in connecting one bad port on the northern coast, with another on the same side of the Island ; and that the freights from either of these ports.will still be considerably higher than those at present charged from the Southern, Eastern, and Northern's terminal port of King ston ; and it is calculated that when this line shall be in operation, a fUrther redaction will be effected, making a diminution in carriage and freights together of nearly 50 par cent. , liCorgate-street, 25th August, 1845.

I AMEETING of the SOCIETY for the EAIAN CIPA.TION 'Of . INDUSTRY was held at Exeter Hall on - - Tuesday, July I, ANDREW SPOTTISWOODE, Esq., in the Chair. at which the following resolutions were moved and carried : Resolved,—First—That ti's Society cannot refrain from expressing its surprise and disappointment at the very unsatisfactory resolutions introduced by Lord John Russell in the House of Commons on the 26th of May, for the professed purposv of ameliorating the condition of the working classes of the United Kin,;(lo l n, and of correcting the alarming evil for which his Lordship dici not account, that while " the rich are growing richer, the poor are t 7rowing poorer;" —an this meeting considers that no professions of sy:Mpathy for the dis tressed condition of the labouring classes can avai: anything, or to satisfactory to the country at large, so long as tht`se classes are compelled to provide for a heavy taxation on articles of ;:onsumption in a money artificially made scarce—a regulation which confers an undue and unnatural advantage upon capital ovsr industry. Second,—That it is the opinion of this Society that the 8t:04, o: actual destitution anctsuffering under which it is acknowledged labouring classes in this kingdom are now so largely sufferinga , f the midst of superabundant wealth, and the inexhaustible means cr producing that wealth, is not owing to any fault of their own, nor to any express dispensation of Providence, but is attributable to in judicions legislation, of which the most striking example is the per nicious currency law of 1819—a measure which Sir James Grabaw. truly and emphatically denounced as a " delusion and a fraud." Third,—That the object of the currency law of 1819 and of the monetary measures of 1844 and 1845 is to reduce the prices of pro duction to the level of. gold prices, while the object of corn laws, and of all protective laws, is to raise prices above the level of gold, in order to compensate for heavy taxation ; and thus, the one object is inconsistent with, and contradictory to, the other.—That It is the intention of the Legislature, In levying taxes on commodities, to secure that those taxes should be paid by the consumers generally in a rise of prices; but the effect of the monetary measures before re ferred to is to prevent a rise of prices, and thus to defeat that inten tion.—That by these means a grievous wrong is inflicted on the pro ducing classes, the effects of which are observable in the wide-spread pauperism described by Sir James Graham as already amounting in England - to Mil one-tenth of the populatiCn• and in the alarming de • prcssion of the prices of agricultural produce, in Cnusequence of which the wages of the labourer are reduced to their present 1.•. , .w and instill cleat rate. Fourth,—That this Society contends that the high scale of indirect , taxation in this country demands a corresponding scale of prices both of labour and of the produce of labour; and that such scale of prices is incompatible with the present low fixed price of gold, which has the effect, not only of throwing upon the producers the burden of that taxation which ought to be paid by the consumers, but of perni c!ettsly restricting the circulating medium of the country, by making ft dependent on the quantity of gold in the Bank of England. . Fitth,—That if gold were allowed to find its market price in the currency of the country, like all other commodities, and in obedience to the law of supply and demand, prices in the home tradd ivotild rise to a remunerating level, without affecting the prices of our foreign trade, which are now, and always must be, regulated by the market price of gold. That competition would prevent home pekes from rising in such a circulating medium beyond the level that indi rect taxation justified ; a level bele* which it is as unjust to the pro ducer as it is dangerous to the public ereditor to reduce them.—That the Government money (or Exchequer-bills) now issued for taxes In a shape and in amounts exclUsively.u,seful to,the monied class, should be issued to amounts convenient for all classes—namely, in notes_ of one pound and upwards; that these notes being necessarily confined within the amount of annual taxation, would be founded on and re present that property which the Government annually draws from the people in taxes, and would form the legal-tender money of the natlon."—That labour would then receive- its fair and reasonable re ward, while the commerce and industry of the country would be freest from their present unnecessary and injurious dependence upon foreign exchanges. horror the debatetlie o m n on ;i s r t . ro v u i s ii doc trineers,. S ixat b T u h t e a d t t to h s Siro o t b y er v t i e P w e s el w i i n th motion upon the 10th of June, that the increasing impoverishment of the industrious classes is without remedy; that "great wealth being found side by side with great poverty" Is " inseparable f:* an civilisation, and that civilisation in' itself increases the tendency iir a country towards them,"—a doctrine which would consign ' a large portion of our countrymen to irremediable poverty. That this Society is prepared to prove before a Committee of either House of Parliament that such a social anomaly is mainly attributable to mis taken views of the nature and uses of money, and of the laws governing the distribution of wealth ; and they cannot but ascribe ft to the deepest and most deplorable delusion, that in the recent dis cussions on the subject of the Corn-laws and Banking, the National Debt and Taxation, which form essential elements in both questions have been studiously excluded. Seventh,—That petitions, representing the substance of the rese utions of this meeting, and praying for legislative inquiry into thi effect of currency on prices, and on the wages of labour, be neiv prepared and signed by the Chairman of the Society, and be preseute to the House of Lords and the House of Commons ; and that the Provisional Committee formed for the convening of this meeting t e requested to place the petitions in suitable hands for prescneation Ar 1 support: TEA TRAYS, Tea Urns, Knives anal Forks, Dish Covers, &c., at C.

Ellis, Elliott, and Svrann, solicitors SECRETARY—Wm. Protheroe, 10, Old Jewry-chambers, London This railway is intended to connect the South Wales Railway at Chepstow with Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Birmingham, with the projected Cheltenham, Oxford (and. London direct), Gloucester, and Aberystwith, Northampton and Cheltenham, and Manchester and Southampton Railways ; thus forming an uninterrupted line of com munication 'from the &kith Of Ireland, through Flshgard and Milford in Pembrokeshire, to Gloucester, Cheltenham, Oxford, and London direct, Southampton, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the North of England, by a less circuitous route than can be effected by any of the projected plans for crossing the Severn below Gloucester, thereby avoiding the difficulties which must necessarily be encoun tered in such an undertaking, and affording the important towns and districts upon the Intendedlines dud accommodation which their im portance entitles them to. The whole of the traffic upon the South Wales line passing to the Eastward of Chepstow will be carried on this line ; added to which the coal and mineral traffic from the Forest of bean (which, from. tile Eastern side to GlEniceiter, has been estimated upon authentic documents and information, at up*iirds of 300,000 tons ; and from the Western or Lydney and ChepOow side the same amount of traffic may safely be calculated upon), amounting to 600,000 tons per an num (the produce of the Forest alone), must be carried upon the line, independent of the local passenger traffic and an extended trade in the produce of the Forest, which will necessarily follow the facilities offered by the proposed railroad. The revenue from this source alone will give a very handsome di vidend upon the capital to be expended, which is expected will not exceed three-fourths of the intended capital. It is proposed to to the Collieries and Iron Works in the Forest, to the present or any new Ports which may suggest themselves on the Severn ; and to make the River Wye, at Chep stow, the port of foreign export, where vessels of any size can enter free from the dangers and difficulties attendant upon the navigation of the Severn, consequent upon the rocks and shifting sands in that river. It is 'intended to build a bridge across the Severn at Gloucester, which will in no way obstruct the navigation; and the proposed Gloucester and Aberystwith Company will no doubt be ready to join this Company in the expense, if they obtain their Act. The cost of the intended line from Chepstow to Gloucester, including the bridge at Gloucester, and the one over the River Wye, at Chepstow, to join the South Wales, with branches t o th e C o lli er i es, Iron Works, and the Severn, is not expected to exceed 450,0001., but it is intended to provide a capital of 600,0001. to meet any contingencies which may arise. A reference to the map will show the self-evident importance of this line as essential to the perfecting the great project of the South Wales Railway Company (who have obtained their Act of Parlia ment for a railroad from Flshguard and Milford Haven to Chepstow) n connecting it with the principal railways of the kingdong, at Gloucester, and making it the direct road to London, via Cheltenham and Oxford, for. effecting which projects are now before the public with most influential support. The line Is twenty-six miles in length, has no engineering difficulties; the gradients and curves are extremely good, and works light. It may with very great confidence be asserted, that there is scarcely a short line of railroad in the kingdom which offers greater advant‘nes to the Shareholders than the present. Pro vis.on will be made in the Act of Parliament which will be applied for hi the next SQssion to limit the liability of the Shareholder to the amount of his Shares, and to allow four per cent. ou the calls.

The promoters of this Railway, encouraged by the favourable sup port which has been given to the project, and In compliance with various recommendations they have received, hake determined upon the addition of a branch to Birkenhead, which, although it will manifestly tend to the advantage of the Shareholders and the public, will be attended with comparatively little additional outlay. The project will still retain its chief characteristic of a direct railway, and by its connexion, near Warrington, with the Grand Junction Company, is sufficiently comprehensive, without resorting to a com plicated system of branch lines, or materially conflicting with the in terests of existing companies. The line will commence at the city of Chester, and proceed by way of Trafford, Frodsham, and Preston Brook, to Warrington, thence by Lymm and Stretford direct to Manchester. From a point on the main line, near Frodsham, a branch will be taken to join the Chester and Birkenhead Railway, so as to unite Manchester in tho most direct manner possible, with the docks now being formed at Bir kenhead. As Manchester, from its gtographical position, is the centre of rail way communication between Scotland and the most populous like cause, is the great centre of dis trictsrailway communication between th e capitals of Ireland and of Eng land. of England, so Chester, from To connect these two point s b y a direct and independent line a. of railway must, therefore, be of the utmost importance, not only in a local point of view, but to the whole commercial intercourse of the country. This line will be the most direct route, by Holyhead, to Ireland, and will be, in all respects, by far the preferable channel of inter course and transit between Ireland and the great manufacturing dis tricts of England. By the railways connecting Chester with Wrex ham, Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Hereford, Gloucester, and South Wales, this will be the nearest route from Manchester to the south western parts of England, and to the minerals of Monmouth and Glamorganshlre. The communication with Bristol, Gloucester, and Exeter will be speedy and direct. On reference to the map, it will be seen that a very considerable distance will be saved by this line, as compared with the present circuitous routes by Crewe and by Birkenhead ; the former being 52 miles, and the latter 46 miles, while the proposed line is only 2 4miles saving in the one case 18 miles, and in the other 12 miles, b es i des the serious inconven i ence, l oss of time, and expense of passin g through Liverpool, and crossing the water at that place. It is confidently expected that this line will be the precursor of another scheme, of no ordinary importance—namely, to render 'hester an efficient port for large vessels. This subject was entertained by Sir John Rennie in 1835, and sub sequently, in the same year, by the lath Mr. Chapman, who wrote an able report upon the capabiliti es of the river Dee. I t was aga i n nvestigated, in 1837, by Sir Joh n R ennie and Mr. G eorge R em i ng t on, and the practicability of formin g a good navigab l e c h anne l f or vesse l s of large burden, together with docks at Chestsr, was then hilly and clearly established. The entrance channel would commence at Dawpool, which is easy of access (and infinitely preferable, in point of access and safety, to the docks at LiverpOol or Birkenhead), for vessels of large burden, during eight hours every tide, both at springs and neaps ; and the 'ill of the lock would be sufficiently low to admit vessels drawing 20 feet water to enter at all tides, • This railway, therefore, in connexion with the proposed docks, will render to Chester and Manchester incalculable advantages. To the former it will restore the proper position natural to so important a city ; to the latter it will give another outlet, by sea, to the ma nufacturing districts, free of the heavy port charges, dues, and risks to which the produce is now subject. It has not been thought advisable to combine the two objects in one company at present, but should it be found requisite, the two may hereafter be amalga mated. W Merits of no ordinary degree, therefore, may fairly be claimed for this railway, whether taken in connexion with the proposed docks, ores standing alone, combining as it does all the advantages of any other lines, with this great addition, that it will be the high road to the most convenient outport of Manchester, and will be quite inde pendent of any associations or influences that might tend to oppose the growing desire for a means of direct and independent communi cation between Manchester and the port of Chester. The line has been careffilly examined. There are no difficult earth-works to be encountered ; on the contrary it will be cheap, and of easy tbrmation. Power is reserved to the Committee to de. viate from the proposed line in the vicinity of Manchester, should ulterior arrangements render it expedient.
