THE REGENT'S CANAL COMPANY MEETING OF OPPONENTS. Yesterday, at half-past twelve, a meeting of inha bitants, owners of, and other persons interested in, residences, wharves, and other property adjacent to, and in the vicinity of, that portion of the Regent's Canal bounding the Regent's park, was held at the York and Albany Tavern, Gloucester gate, Regent's-park, "to consider and determine," as the ad vertisement set forth, "upon the most effective and decided opposition to the above railway recently proposed to be sub stituted for the canal." The meeting, v a very full and respectable one, was pre sided over by Mr. It. Cumberland. The advertisement calling the meeting, with the pro spectus of the Regent's Canal Railway Company, were then read. Mr. DENTON, the secretary of the meeting, said the busi ness being fully set forth in the advertisement, he should be happy to hear any observations on the business advanced by the gentleman who were present. The CHAIRMAN intimated that he would be very glad to hear the sentiments of the meeting. It appeared from the prospectus of the Company that the idea of compensation to the residents'on the banks of the canal had not been con sidered, and hence he thought it was necessary they should take measures to protect their interests. It was the usual course for railway companies in making a line to grant compensation, but in the present instance there appeared to be no intention of such being done. Mr. STANLEY took the liberty of saying a few words, as one of the oldest residents in the neighbourhood. The question for the meeting to consider was, not so much an opposition to the construction of a line of railway, as one of compensation to themselves. They might depend upon it, that if the Government and the Commissioners of Woods and Forests decided in favour of the construction of the line, their opposition would go for nothing; but if those parties acted otherwise, then their objections would be alto gether useless. He considered, therefore, they should confine themselves, entirely to the damage that was likely to be done to their own property. Park Village, where he resided, was one of the places that was likely to suffer the most from the construction of the railway. Still, he was against anything in the shape of a general opposition to the line. He, for one, was of opinion that the railway, in many respects, would be a benefit to the neighbourhood. It would, he believed, enable them to be supplied with coals from the Midland Counties at a much cheaper rate than they could be abtained from the port of London. Besides, by the line, and the construction of a central terminus, they would get rid of the greatest nuisance at present in the locality, the Camden station. They should, therefore, consider the ques tion of compensation alone. After a pause, Mr. STANLEY said that a resolution had just been put into his hand which he considered quite in agreement with the views he had expressed; he would there fore propose it. It was, " That this meeting having consi dered the project of converting the Regent's-canal into a railway, and the effect of that project, if carried into execution upon the various houses, wharves, buildings, and premises, commercial and ornamental, along its banks, is of opinion that no measure could be more prejudicial to the various in terests of owner, lessee, and occupier than the conversion of the present waterway into a railway." The motion being seconded, Mr. GREENHOW wished to know if any communication had been made to the officers of the Railway Company to elicit their sentiments on the subject of compensation. if so, he should be very glad to hear the result. Mr. DENTON intimated that such a course had not yet been taken. Mr. GREENHOW, said, if there was no satisfactory prospect of justice being done the proprietors, he would recommend each tenant under the Crown to write to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. It appeared to him quite certain that if the Crown was against the conversion, it could not take place, as a Bill could not be introduced into Par liament without its consent. It was therefore one of the cheapest, and he believed one of the most effectual ways of opposing the project, namely, the writing individually, and protesting against it to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. Mr. DANIEL, churchwarden of the parish of St. Maryle bone, said he had attended the present meeting simply to watch the proceedings. He might state that the parish had an extensive dock on the conal, which the proposed railway would seriously injure. Its construction in this respect would be a loss to the parish of 1,200/. yearly. After some further discussion, Mr. YATES wished to give his opinion against the course recommended, as he believed the conversion of the canal into a railway would be a great bengt to the locality. An objection was here taken to Mr. Yates being heard, on the ground that he was not a resident in the locality, and the question was put to the meeting, when, on a show of hands, it was decided by a large majority that he should be allowed to proceed. Mr. YATES contended that no injury would be done to their property by the construction of the railway. He therefore thought they were taking a very impolitic course. Assum ing, however, that damage would be done, he considered they should have first consulted with the Directors, instead of flying in the face, as they were proposing, of a powerful body like the railway company. He did not agree with Mr. Daniel that the railway would cause a loss of 1,200!. a year to the parish of Marylebone, but rather, he was of opinion, it would be 1,200/. gain. The railway would be a great benefit, and therefore he proposed as an amendment that a deputation of four or six persons, from the present meeting, be appointed to meet the Directors of the Railway Company, to discuss the question of compensation. Mr. HEYWOOD considered such a course most advisable, and would therefore second the amendment. The amendment on being put was negatived by a large majority, and the original resolution carried, with but four dissentie nts. After a vote of censure on the proprietors of the Canal for agreeing to sell it to the Railway Company, without consult ing the feelings and interests of the inhabitants on its banks, and the appointment of a committee to carry out the objects set forth in the resolutions, the meeting separated. Tonbridge. Romney, Folkestone, Rye, and Hastings Rail way, inquired of that gentleman whether the company he represented had amalgamated with the gentlemen represent ing the Tonbridge and Rye Harbour Direct Railway? Mr. KIRKMAN said as far as the line from Cranbrook to Paddock-wood they had amalgamated, but not with the pro posed line beyond Cranbreok in the direction of Rye. Mr. LAMB thought it most advisable that a plan should be devised for reaching Hastings, by passing through the Bother level, then through Telsham, wh.ch was also a level, and thence through the Tillingdon level, and so on to Rye. Tbis plan would be the means of opening Hastings to Maid stone, and the whole of Central Kent. Ciptain MONTGOMERY wished to know how Mr. Giles in tended to carry the railway on to Rye harbour? Mr. GILES said he proposed to carry it through the town of Rye on the north. east, and to the north of the old harbour. Major CURTEIS was desirous of knowing the exact route by which it was proposed to get to Rye, for if it came through his land, or that way which was likely to be detri mental to the property throughout the line, he should op pose it, and there were several other landlords ready to do the same. Mr. WILSON said the question was whether the Hastings traffic would not be of paramount importance, as it would be the most direct means of affording communication with that most important town and Dungeness. Captain TWEEDIE said it was the understanding with re spect to the proposed lines, that any injury to private pro perty should be avoided as much as possible. He wished to know if that pledge was adhered to by the plan laid down? Mr. GILES said it was. The line was intended to pass in a direct course from Tonbridge vid Paddock Wo:,d, and from the iatter place to the port of Rye, passing through Brench ley, Horsmonden, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Benenden, Hawk hurst, Sandhurst, Rolvenden, Newenden, Northian, Beckley, Peasemarsh, Iden, Ployden, and Guildford, to the town and harbour of Rye.—(Hear.) The Hon. Capt. KING said—After the useful statements which had been made, there could be no doubt of the great benefit which would result from the establishment of railways in that part of the country such as those proposed, and he felt great pleasure in moving " That a railway from Ton bridge via Paddock-wood, to the town and port of Rye, passing through or near the parishes of Brenchley, Horsmon den, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Benenden, Hawkhurst, Sand hurst, Rolvenden, Newenden, Northian, Beckley, Pease marsh, Iden, Ployden, and Guildford, is most desirable, and the meeting is determined to give such a line their cordial support." Captain MONEYPENNY seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. BERESFORD HOPE, M.P., moved that the line as explained by Mr. Giles, passing to the north-east side of the town of Cranbrook, is the best line to be adopted. Mr. TUKE having seconded the resolution, Mr. JENNINGS moved, as an amendment, "That it is im portant in bringing the intended line before Parliament, to propose a line to Hastings in connexion with the proposed line to Rye, with a view to such line to Hastings being car • ried into effect or not, as may hereafter appear expedient with reference to any other line likely to be adopted to Hastings." Coniderable discussion ensued: ultimately the amendment was withdrawn, and the motion carried with but two dissen tients. Lord BERESFORD having been called on to preside, a vote of thanks was passed to yr. Law Hodges for his conduct in the chair, and the meeting separated. GREAT EASTERN AND WESTERN RAILWAY. A few days since a meeting of the inhabitants of Bryn mawr, Nantyglo, and other towns in South Wales, took place at the Griffin Inn, for the purpose of expressing their approval of the Great Eastern and Western line, which pro posed to give the shortest transit to the great markets of Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham ; and whose en gineers, contrary to the published opinions of the engineers connected with other companies, had demonstrated the prac ticability of a railway line between Merthyr and Abergavenny, accommodating their several extensive works, and connect ing them with the agricultural districts. Mr. KmasirAw, of Brynmawr, moved the first resolution, " That Brynmawr and its neighbourhood would be much benefited by having this line passing so closa to them, and giving them such facility of communication with important places." Mr. PARRY, of Beaufort, said, that as far as regarded the trading; interests of Brynmawr and the thickly-populated districts around, the line they were met to consider was de cidedly favourable ; no other projected line came near them. It was then their interest and duty to support the Great Eastern and Western line. He thought the engineering dif ficulties of the road were great, but the engineers employed by the Great Eastern and Western Company had publicly declared the line practicable, in opposition to the opinion of those connected with rival lines. The Great Eastern and Western Company took their line between Abergavenny and Merthyr, through districts containing a population of at least 120,000 souls. Commencing at Llanelly, they passed to Brynmawr, Nantyglo, Coalbrook Vale, Cwm Celyn, Blaine, Ebbw Yale, Beaufort, Rhymney, the Bute Works, Dowlais, and Merthyr Tydvil. This part of the line, he understood, would be 20 miles of trunk and 12 of branches, 32 miles in all, connecting the largest mineral works in the world with the agricultural districts. Whatever company held forth such advantages deserved the public support. He was sure such a line would pay well from its conveyance of minerals, passengers, and agricultural produce. The resolution was put and carried unanimously. Mr- W. UNDERWOOD, in moving the second resolution, said it was most important that they should have such a line as that projected by the Great Eastern and Western Company. It was the best yet proposed to give them a direct communication with the northern and eastern parts of England. Mr. THOMAS DAVIES, in seconding the resolution, said he considered a line between Abergavenny and Merthyr one of absolute necessity to the trading interests in the various dis tricts through which it would pass, and he also thought it the. duty of every person interested in such trade to support the Great Eastern and Western scheme. The CHAIRMAN said the line whose merits they were met to consider would afford them every possible advantage that could arise from a direct communication with the great ma nufacturing and commercial towns. It would afford also a shorter means of travelling to London than their present mode, via Newport, and every one, he thought, would join with him in appreciating the advantages of having goods by land. He had no doubt the traffic on the line would be im mense. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. TONBRIDGE AND RYE HARBOUR, AND LONDON AND SOUTH WEALD -OF KENT. On Monday evening an important meeting of landowners and resident gentry of South Kent took place in the market room of the Bull Inn, Cranbrook, for the purpose of con sidering the subject of railway cnmmunications projected through that part of the country. The meeting was an exceedingly crowded one, and amongst the gentlemen present locally interested were Lord Viscount Beresford, Captain King, R.N., Alexander James Beresford Hope, Esq., M.P., Thomas Law Hodges, Esq., Major Curteis, Captain Moneypenny, Thomas Twisden Hodges, Esq., Captain Tweedle, Edward Poynder, Esq., Sackville Phelps, Esq., Thomas Walton Roberts, Esq., Major Hurst, George French, jun., Esq., &c. THastAs LAW HODGES, Esq., was called to the chair. He said it would be remembered that two or three weeks back a meeting on the important subject of railway communication between Rye, Hastings, Tonbridge, and other places of con sequence in the southern weald of Kent had been held, and that in consequence of the plans submitted, and the destruc tion of valuable property which they involved, the meeting had been adjourned in order to give the gentlemen employed sufficient time to make a more perfect survey of country through which it was contemplated these railways should be carried out. Mr. GILES (the engineer) said, since the last meeting he had had levels taken over the whole country, with the view of ascertaining the beat line which could be adopted between Rye, Hastings, and Tonbridge, passing through or near Cranbrook. From Paddock-wood, at which point it was proposed to join the South Eastern Railway up to Winchet hill on the south-western side of Cranbrook, he had found the levels very good and easy, but from Winchet-hill to Goddard's-green, the rise of the country was found to be extreme; such as to require an incline of railway to be made at a gradient of at least 1 in 100. A railway could not be accomplished through this part at a gradient flatter than that he had mentioned; and it also involved the necessity of a deep cutting of from 40 to 60 feet. After having passed through this point at the depth he had mentioned, the line would arrive at Minever, and get down to Mill-street Mill by a similar gradient to that by which they came from Winchet-hill to Goddard's-green—nimely, 1 in 100. Now it was not only passenger traffic, but heavy goods traffic which would pass on this line, and therefore he need not impress upon the meeting the necessity of their having a line as level as possible. This line he (Mr. Giles) must admit was the most direct line which could be adopted from Paddock-wood towards Rye, as it was, if not entire l y , next to the straight line. Although this was the case, he (Mr. Giles) had felt it his duty to survey another line, which, although not so straight as the line be had just mentioned, had other advantages of a better level—(Hear) — and under all the circumstances, he felt it his duty to recom mend the adoption of the latter line to any body of gentle men who proposed to carry a railway between Paddock-wood and Rye, vid Cranbrook.—(Hear.)

The first object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham, Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route, and to supply an important link of communication between the town of Spalding and the eastern coast with the Western and Midland districts. Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham, Lynn, and Holbeack Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn, Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and Wymondhatn, to a point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton- Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid• land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry, Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway. The projected line will form the most direct communication be tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk, Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles than any other line of railway. It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct line across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west. The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is no tunnel ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary ; the line from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very level, and may be constructed at a small cost. It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of tI•P means of transit. The central midland districts have felt greatly: the want of direct communication with the coast; and this line will at once supply the deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire. It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon supply from the north at high prices : it will also secure the advan tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works, to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis tricts will attain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean. The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co ventry, Leicester. Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans port of corn, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland districts, will be sufllciently ample to warrant the outlay. The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now in active progress, and contracts have been entered into which en sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders.

The Southern Junction Railway is intended to form a communica tion between 'the Great Western Railway at Slough, and the South- Eastern at Reigate. It will afford the most easy access through the medium of the Great Western Railway to the inhabitants of Reading, Maidenhead, Windsor, Staines, Kingston, Epsom, and the principal intermediate towns, to Dover, Brighton, Hastings, and the other watering-places on the coast of Kent and Sussex. Ireland, Wales, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, and the manu facturing districts in the West of England will thus obtain a more direct, less tedious and expensive communication with the Continent than by the way of London. The length of line as proposed will be twenty-seven miles ; and, after a careful examination, no engineering difficulty presents itself, as it runs for more than half the distance on a level, and traverses a country that must be greatly benefited by this project. The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary plans and sections in ample time for complying with the standing orders, and enabling them to apply for an Act in the ensuing session. The shortness of the line, and the quantity of passenger and mer cantile traffic that the line will command, leaves no doubt of an ample return for the investment of capital.

On Monday a meeting of the Managing Committee of this Company took place at their offices in Clement's-lane ' Mr. Ens, M.P. for Leicester, in the chair. The principal busi ness which came before the meeting was the report of Mr. Galloway, the engineer. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said he had every reason to believe that the report would be most satisfactory to the great body of the shareholders, as well as to every one interested in the pros perity of Wales, or the well-being of the kingdom at large The reports which they continued daily to receive from the principality afforded the directors in London a full as surance that the inhabitants of the district through which the railway was intended to pass were most cordial. in their support of this great undertaking; that many of them quitted their harvest work in order to assist the surveyors ; and it appeared to be equally curtain that the landowners along the line were quite au favourable as their tenants to this important na tional work. It was with much pleasure he perceived that the names of several gentlemen connected with the prin cipality had been added to the provisional committee. A mongst the most prominent objects of the Company was that of affording the means of transit for goods and passengers between Liverpool and Swansea. At present vessels are often five ur six weeks in passing from the Bristol Channel to Liverpool—a fortnight was rather a short passage; whereas by the intended railway ten hours would suffice for the transmission of any amount of goods from either of those important ports to the other, and thus a vast saving would be effected in the expenses of shipping, the wages of seamen, and the cost of marine insurance. The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN observed that there was not one project of the many now afloat which had so signally earned for itself the title of " direct" as the " Great Welsh Central Railway ;" and when the mountainous nature of the country was considered, it appeared marvellous that a direct and practicable line could have been traced. Fortunately that object had been accomplished in a manner which even exceeded their most sanguine hopes. It was impos sible to look at the map, or take into view the statistics of such places as those between which it would open an inter course without feeling that that must be one of the greatest works in the United Kingdom which facilitated the traffic of such places as Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham, Liverpool, the mineral distri c ts of S ou th W a l es , an d a ll th e important ports of the principality and of England. The report of the ergineer was then read. It stated that the line from Liverpool to Swansea would measure about 150 miles, the branches to Warrington and Neath being 111 miles additional. It would join the Liverpool and Manchester at Blackbow-hall ; then proceed by Overton, Oswestry, Welshpool, Newtown, to the Neath line, and i onward to Swansea, through Rhvader, Llanphangel, Lian gammarch, Llandulas, Llywel, Capel delwyn, Ystradggnlais, and Clybdydfechan. He described the engineering diffi culties as being of very limited extent, and the tunnelling as very unimportant, only three-quarters of a mile in length ; that the gradients were easy, and the deviations from a direct course much less than is to be found in the generality of long lines. The report was then received, and the meeting broke up. HALIFAX AND QUEBEC. At a meeting held in favour of this line, which is to con nect Halifax and Quebec, to settle grants of land upon the line, and to make branches to St. John, Frederickton, and other places, Mr. John Joseph Sheene in the chair; Mr. WILLIAM BRIDGES, the secretary and projector of the line, read the report of the Committee, from which it appeared that a memorial drawn up by Sir Richard Brown and Mr. Bridges, was addressed to the Prime Minister, urging on the consideration of Government the great benefits likely to accrue from the enterprise; that upon an inter view with Lord Stanley, his Lordship referred the deputa tion to the local governments, but expressed an opinion that, in the event of local support being secured, the Government would not refuse their sanction to the under taking. Memorials were addressed to Lord Metcalfe, Lord Falkland, and Sir William Colebrook, the governors of the respective provinces of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, of similar tenor to that submitted to Sir Robert Peel, and correspondence was entered into, the result of which was a cordial expression of approval, and promises of sup port from Lord Falkland and Sir William Colebrook, who had also addressed Lord Stanley in recommendation of the enterprise, from the Honourable Mr. Almor, a member of the Executive Council and President of the Bank of Nova Scotia, Dr. Gesner, of Cornwallis, and various others of character and influence in British North America, and that maps and other engineering information had been transmitted to the colony. That Mr. G. R. Young, a member of the Legislature of Nova Scotia, had been applied to, and had used his influence to ascertain the feeling of merchants in the city connected with the Canadas relative to the project, and had addressed letters by the last mail to various correspondents in the colonies, with the view of eliciting public expressions of opinion, and a guarantee of local monetary support, if ap proved of by the public intelligence. That Captain Moorsom, who had formerly made extensive surveys for the Government in the North American territory, had also assisted the promoters with much valuable information, had furnished an estimate of the probable cost and returns, and had consented, in conjunction with Mr. Valentine, to be the principal engineer. That Mr. Street had been in negotiation with various persons in New Brunswick, who were desirous to constitute a company to construct a railway from St. John to the Grand Falls, to connect with the trunk line to Quebec ; that extensive local and Government patronage had been secured to the undertaking, and that no less than 100,0001. of stock would be locally subscribed for that portion ; and that the Legislature of New Brunswick, in their opinion, are disposed to give a bonus of 10,0001. to 15,0001. ay , ear for five years. Resolutions proposed and supported by Messrs. Sam bert, Hoare, Whitney, Moorsom, Spiers, and others, were carried unanimously for prosecuting the recommendations contained in the report. PROGRESS OF NEW RAILWAYS. BEAKS AND HANTS RAILWAY.—This line, which is to connect the Great Western and South-Western Railways, has been laid out under the superintendence of the Com pany's engineer, Mr. Beecham. In length it is upwards of thirty-nine miles, branching off from the Great Western Railway near Reading, passing adjacent to the towns of New bury, Hungerford, to near the station of the South-Western Railway at Basingstoke. The purchase of land is nearly completed, and in every quarter operations are going on rapidly. The directors of the Great Western have let the whole of the works (between Hungerford and Basingstoke) to responsible and most experienced contractors, whose work. men are engaged in shaft working, in order to ascertain the nature of the soil to be worked through. SHEFFIELD AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY. —The works upon this line of railway are for the most part comr leted. and the rails laid; the tunnel, however, remains unfinished, but nearly 2,060 workmen are engaged, fixing the masonary. PRESTON AND WYRE BRANCH RAILWAYS—The report by the engineer, Mr. Bidder, as to the state of the works of the Preston and Wyre Branch Railway and the Black pool, Lytham, and Lytham Docks is as follows :—The Ly tham line, the length of which is four miles and six fur longs, I fully expect, should the weather keep favourable, will be completed in about three weeks. There is no work of any magnitude on this railway; the quantity of excava tion is 100,000 cubic yards. The highest embankment is eleven feet, and the deepest cutting twenty-seven feet. Along the line there are three timber bridges, also one of stone, and another constructed of bricks. The station is also fast approaching completion. The Blackpool line will be com menced as soon as the harvest is over, and we are in hopes it will be accomplished for traffic by the Ist of March next Visitors can then visit their favourite watering-places from Leeds, Manchester, and all intermediate stations, without leaving their carriages, and in a very short space of time. We are laying down the electric telegraph on thift line, and have every reason to believe that early in the Spring there will be a communication throughout the lines from Fleet wood, a distance of two hundred and forty miles ; and as our packets do not exceed ten hours in their voyage to Belfast, a message to London from Belfast will be made in a few mi nutes more of that time. The capital is 50,0101. ASHTON BRANCH RAILWAY.—The works connected with the Ashton, Stalybridge. and Liverpool Junction are ad vanced considerably, and already branch into the Sheffield and Manchester line. The electric telegraph is likewise being laid down on this undertaking. LANCASTER DEVIATION.—The Lancaster Deviation of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, which is three miles in length, will, when finished, connect the two with the Carlisle and Newcastle Railway. The most important work on the line is the Lime Viaduct. This consists of three timber arches, of 120 feet span, over the river Eden, and seven smaller land arches in masonry. The land piers and the river abutments are well advanced, all these piers hay ing been founded nearly twenty feet below the surface of the ground, and are now built about eight feet above the sur face. There are five other bridtres in progress in other parts of the line, and the earth-works are commenced at several points. OXFORD AND RUCIBY.—The arrangements for the con struction of the Oxford and Rugby, in length fifty miles and a half, are in a very advanced state. The preliminary ope rations for surveying, sectioning, shaft-sinking, and staking out are complete. The capital, according to the parliamentary return, is 600,0001. BRIGHTON, LEWES, AND HASTINGS RAILWAY.—This line is progressing rapidly, particularly between Willingdon and St. Leonard's, where the rails are laid for a considerable dis tance, over which a locomotive is running to convey ballast trains. There are between the above-mentioned place: no fewer than eleven embankments, the most important of which are the following :—Pevensey-marsh extends three miles and a half in length, for the formation of which it re quires 50,000 cubic yards of earthwork; and the quantity already removed amounts to upwards of 30,000; Stonecross embankment, as also the Marine Cottages, the Bulace- Glynde Gap, the Chinting, and Redditch, average from 19 to 23 feet in height. The cuttings in that particular part are almost as numerous. There are ten cuttings, called the Bulverhithe, Galley-hill, Bexhill, Fatland, White Little Common, Couden, Westham, Redditch, and the Stonecross, The most laborious are the Bulverhithe, the Galley-hill, and the Stonecross cuttings ; the latter is 40 feet in depth, and the quantity of earthwork already removed is 54 000 cubic yards. The quantity required to be excavated before com pleted is 106,000. There are several bridges completed; among them may be enumerated the Hailsham and East bourne turnpike .roads, which pass under the railway ; the span of the arch is 35 feet. The works exhibit great solidity. and in their construction show much judgment on the part of Mr. Kirby, the resident engineer. The Hastings, Rye, &c., Railway, an extension line to the above, for which an Act of Parliament was obtained last session, is not yet com menced. The termini are to be at Hastings and at Ashford. LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—The important works on this line of railway, under the superintendence of Mr. Errington, the engineer, are fast completing. The lengthy embankment near Carlisle is formed, and a loco motive is employed on it. Eamount bridge and Lowther bridge are finished. They have a noble appearance. Re specting the viaduct at Docker Gatthil and the embankment at Clifton, its progress is most favourable. The engineer's attention is now directed in removing the ponderous mass of stone in various parts of the line by forcing gunpowder. This operation is excessively tedious. NEWPORT AND PONTYPOOL RAILWAY.—This line, which will be thirteen miles in length, with termini at Pontypool and at Newport, has been commenced. Working surveys are in progress, and the line is being set out preparatory to letting contracts for works. Trial pits have been sunk to as certain the nature of the cuttings. The cuttings and em bankments will not be any great obstacle—the country being undulating, they are consequently frequent, but of no great height. They vary from forty feet in height and under. One tunnel is proposed, which will not exceed 100 yards in length. Through the town of Pontypool the railway will occupy the site of a canal, which will shortly be drained for that pur pose. The capital of the Company is 119,000/. Mr. Thomas E. March, the engineer, has the construction of the under taking. • On Friday, at a meeting of the merchants, traders, and in habitants of Liverpool, resolutions were passed in favour of the Newry and Carlingford Railway, as calculated to pro mote commercial intercourse between Liverpool and the north-west and north -pact of Irolancl. Surveyors and their assistants are busy on the South Wales line, prior to the issuing of contracts. The borings for the foundation of the bridge at Chepstow have been com menced. Operations are being commenced upon a large scale for the construction of the proposed high level bridge over the Tyne, in connection with the Newcastle and Berwick Rail way. The borings in the bed of the river for the pier foundations have been commenced as a preliminary requisite. Melton is said to be besieged with surveyors, and fears are entertained that, should one-half of the proposed projects be carried out, Leicester will entirely lose its prestige for hunting sports. A direct line, shortening the existing route by five miles, is projected between Darlington and Hartlepool. The progress of the works on the Chester and Holyhead is said to have had a remarkable effect on the number of applicants for parochial relief in the Comray, Bangor, and Beaumaris Poor-law unions. The works on the Middlesborough and Redcar, a line to connect those places with the north and south, have been commenced, and the road is expected to be opened in three or four months. DUTCH MAIL. THE HAGUE. Ocr. 15.—We have accounts from Copen hagen of the 3d of this month, which state that the disease in the potatoes is spreading more and more in Denmark, as in Funen, Lolland, Falster, and likewise Sealand, especially in Amak, near Copenhagen. It has likewise appeared in the Durhie. It is stated that the disease is beginning to show itself in Sweden, and as the crops, .particularly of the later kinds, are more backward than in the Netherlands, it is feared that the disease may spread wider. It will therefore be advisable to take measures in the discharging of cargoes from that country to ascertain the quality of the potatoes. Information from Genoa of the 3d of October announces that very large consignments of Piedmontese wheat and other provisions are preparing in the ports, destined for the Netherlands. THE. HAGUE, Orr. 16.—Her Majesty the Queen returned to the Hague yesterday. The Java papers to the sth of July have been received. BATAVIA, Jur.v I.—Towards the end of May the Governor of Macassar was informed that pirates were assembled near Saleyer, and it was reported that they were collecting a con siderable force, with the intention of attacking Boneratta. His Majesty's brig the Haai, commanded by Lieutenant Hooft, was dispatched to the place where the pirates were supposed to be, and a detachment of twenty-five soldiers sent on board. It appeared that the reports were well founded ; the commander of the Haai succeeded in surprising eight pirate vessels which lay under the island of Kalaten, and to destroy most of them. The ordinary session of the States-General will be opened on Monday, Oct. 20, by his Majesty in person. GRONDTGEN, Ocr. 13.—Last week Captain John Moody arrived at Leer from London with the steamer which is intended for the Leer, Delfzyl, and Ems Steam Navigation Company. He performed the voyage from London to Leer in thirty-six hours, and the boat appears to be in every respect such as might be desired. UTRECHT, Ocr. 14.—1 t is reported that on account of the extent to which the shameful practice of clipping the coin is carried the Government will shortly iaauc a paper currency in notes of small value. If the Government should determine at the same time that every one shall be bound in payment of his contributions to have one-third in paper, as in Ger many, it would be a great advantage, now that gold and silver are so high.—Dutch Papers, Oct. 18.

SMUGGLING BY A PASSENGER.—A day or two since, in the course of the usual examination being made of the baggage and effects of the passengers by the Antwerp steamer, the revenue officers on duty discovered that a port manteau or other package belonging to a foreigner, and which was stated to contain nothing but old wearing apparel, was sadly deficient of contents in proportion to its size, and on further examination it was found that the pack age contained a false bottom, ingeniously contrived, with between seven or eight pounds of cigars, or manufactured to bacco, concealed therein. The package was immediately seized and the matter represented to the authorities. Had the cigars been merely placed among the wearing apparel, or even underneath it, they would of course have been delivered to the party on payment of the proper duties; but it being considered that the fact of their being adroitly concealed under a false bottom fitted into a box afforded a complete procf of an evident intention of avoiding the payment of the proper duties, the package, with the whole of the con tents, has been ordered to be confiscated. On Saturday last a tradesman in the High-street, Colchester, had his gas-fittings newly suspended and ar ranged in the most convenient manner for the transaction of business and the attraction of customers, accompanied with the necessary glass shades and other appendages. He very naturally calculated upon a brilliant illumination, and at the appointed time applied a taper to the burners, when to his utter amazement, there issued forth streams of water, resem bling the fountains in Trafalgar-square. He soon discovered that the workmen had joined the pipe leading to his premises with the water, instead of the gas main. The discarded oil-lamp was, therefore, again employed to discharge its humble service.—lpswieft Express. princeD).or.izt.vrdil by d 0 lily :::::':sitit:iiiir.c.anei,ytberelinitidgiosp—ronafititl - - ----- . _ COURT ClRCULARaTastdheitilarli 0 ,,,tei,_bw.ecaiti,..t.,,,,r0,1:. o,Lioriirt4l444:l,".„4l,iyer.iit:seesrtoabofinriarcie:gi.iiti,,,,vi:si WINDSOR, TUESDAY.-The Queen and walked to Frogmore this forenoon, and returned to the in the Russian droshka.
