Surveys are now in progress, and the nature of the country is known to offer no serious engineering difficulties, and a great portion of tile Line will be nearly a dead level. The consideration of an ex tension of the Line ftom Spalding or Long Sutton to Wisbeach, will also form a portion of the scheme. The Report of the Board of Trade on the Lines through Lincoln shire, says : " The total cost attending the transmission of a quarter of wheat from the interior of Lincolnshire, by sea, from the port of Boston to London, including freight, insurance, lighterage, commission, and other charges, is stated to amcunt to very near 89. The charge by Railway per quarter (allowing five quarters to the ton, at the charge of 1 1 ,4 d. per ton, per mile, at which the estimate of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway is taken) would not exceed 25., and the re maining charges are calculated not to exceed 25. 6d.. thus showing a benefit to the corn growers and to the public of 3s. 6d. per quarter, occasioned by the saving of the sums now paid for insurance, delay, loss in weight, depreciation of quality, lighterage, &c." " A still more important advantage to the Farmer is afforded by the opportunity given by railway communications of availing himself promptly of the most favourable market. It frequently happens tha owing to the delay and difficulty of transmission, the Farmer is come pelled to sell his wheat at the nearest provincial market at a price considerably below the average rate, and to lose the advantage of a temporary rise." " Whatever tends to equalise prices and to prevent excessive fluc tuations cannot but be considered as a benefit both to the producer and the consumer. We are satisfied that much may be done in the way by an economical and well arranged system of railway com munication." _ . Vincent-street Chelmsford—James Parker, Esq., solicitor Sudbury-.-Messrs.

Hunt, 10, Whitehall, London; or in Ireland, to George Little, Esq., Solicitor, Wexford, or 19, Westmorland-street, Dublin. The same remarks apply to the whole of the great manufacturing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire. . . The great quantity of land, amounting to 100,000 acres, about to be redeemed from the sea by a company, with Sir John Rennie, as Engineer for the promoters, and Mr. Bendel, for the Corporation of Lynn, must ultimately prove of great advantage to this under taking. And, it it is copceived, that the Grand Union Railway must meet with the cordial cooperation of the Midland Railways, as an immense traffic will be brought along those lines en route to Binning ham, the Potteries, and the whole of the manufacturing districts of Staffordshire. The traffic upon the intended Nottingham and Mans field, Sheffield and Newark, Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junc tion, and the Sheffield and Manchester lines, must also derive a great increase from ithisline of railwa The Cambridge :and Lincoln Rail waymust also be greatly benefited. Power is intended to be reserved in the Act to allow 4 per cent. in terest upon deposits and calls, upon completion of the line. • Applications for Shares may be made to Messrs.

That in the opinion of this Meeting the consumption of Iron at the present time is much greater in proportion to the make than it has been for some years past, and that the prospects of the trade have never before been so good. - Moved by Mr. BELLHOUSE, and seconded by Mr. VA:lmoms, jun., „ . and carried unanimously, 2d. That while most other descriptions of iron maintain their price in the open market in a fair proportion to the manufacturers' price, Scotch pig iron alone is depressed in an extraordinary manner. Moved by Mr. Cox, and seconded by Mr. WILLIAMS, and carried unanimously, 3d. That this depression is mainly owing to the absolute refusal of the ironmasters to acknowledge any orders upon themselves, either as to their validity or otherwise, until they are called upon for the actual delivery of the iron itself. Moved by Mr. S. STITT, and seconded by Mr. PARK, and carried unanimously, 4th. That although delivery of pig iron can be obtained from the makers upon presentation of the ordei s now existing, it is desirable that arrangements should be made for direct transfer in place of such orders.

The cloth made of this is of a peculiarly soft and agreeable texture, and as some curiosity has been raised by the announcement of the registry of a coat under the new Act, by Messrs. NICOLL, of Regent-street, Tailors to the Court, it may be marked that such was made of this material. The coat itself is termed the REGISTERED PALETOT, and in its appearance there is nothing very singular beyond a very . gentlemanly neatness and an absence of all unsightly vulgarity. Upon being submitted at Court, it met with high approbation."— Morning Post, April 19. "Amongst the registration .of designs, according to the new Act, that of a coat is to be found. The notions of securing the particular substance and cut of a coat is certainly a new one, but it speaks well for the working of an Act which thus secures the profits of a good judgment and well directed ingenuity to those to whom alone it is due."—The Times, April 4.

NICOLL, COURT TAILORS, 114, Regent-street, London, for their new introduction, the REGISTERED PALETOT, which is a summer overcoat, light in weight, embracing the convenience and comfbrt of the wrapper of tweed and its moderate price, without its inelegant and universally admitted common appearance. The material is of a peculiar softness, made expressly of the finest Llama wool, and in its fashion is neither trop neglige ni trop habille, but whilst showing to advantage the proportions of the figure, it can not encumber free movement, worn riding or walking ; it will also, from the neatness of its form, admit its being used as a light Frock Coat—a desirable advantage in our warmest summer month•, or abroad, where heat is found oppressive. H. J. and D. Nicoll, sensi tive to the importance of that vade mecum—a moderate light over coat—in a - climate so changeable as that of Great Britain, would not submit to the public the Registered Paletot till themsetves satisfied of its being perfect, and that when used as a pardessus, riding or walking, or as summer frock, the above firm might pledge a reputation, which, gained by matured skill and honoured by royal patronage, is of some standing. 'This they can do with safety; as their new introduction, they respectfully , submit, will not compromise that characteristic of an English gentleman, the unassumed neatness of his attire. As a wide extended sale is sought, the very moderate price of Two Guineas is fixed. Respectable firms will alone be treated with relative to an agency for the sale of the Registered Paletot, to whom alone a discount can be allowed. There being a large and increasing demand, many are kept ready in the extensive warerooms, 114, Regent-street. Director.

Many persons, no doubt, are surprised we've not written Concerning our Monarch on board the Great Britain ; And, perhaps, they have thought that we meant to let slip, The honour thus paid to the giant-like ship. But no, we an humble endeavour have made, To suggest a few hints in the way of our trade. When the Queen walk'd the deck of the wonderful barque, And waited its mighty proportions to mark, • She was just as much struck with the progress of art, As if she had visited MOSES'S Mart. The Great Britain ship, as it lay in the water, Was an object of wonder to Brunswick's fair daughter, And the gaze of the Queen would be equally won, By the mighty Columbus of MOSES and SON. The Great Britain ship, and the Great British Mart, May justly be term'd the Twin Wonders of Art. And while the Great Britain is King of the Sea, MOSES' Warehouse shall boast of an equal degree. Yes—its commerce shall happily rise and expand, While thousands proclaim it The King of the Land.

An Extension of the Grand Union Railway is determined upon, from Nottingham to the Terminus of the intended Manchester and Buxton Railway, at Amber-gate. The Line will traverse the Great Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Coal Field, running from the Town of Nottingham, through or near Lenton, Radford, Basford, Wollaton, Buiwell, Nuthall, Kimberley, Watnall, Greasley, Newthorpe, Eastwood, Beaverlee, Brinsley, Sel stone, Codnor, Butterley, Pentridge, Ripley, Heage, Hartsay, to Am. ber-gate, and thus passing through a densely populated district, in exhaustible in its mineral resources, and from whence an immense degree of local traffic must be derived, it will complete, by its junc tion with the Grand Union and the Manchester and Buxton Lines, a direct communication between the eastern and north-western parts of the kingdom. As this Line was originally a part of tile plan contemplated by time promoters of the Grand Union Railway, and was merely postponed until it should be ascertained that the Manchester and Buxton Com pany would carry out their scheme of extension to Amber-gate, the Shares will be apportioned to the holders of Grand Union Shares in the proportion of one to every three.

As it was understood that the subject of the late proceedings in the chapel of Newgate, when the condemned sermon was preached, in the presence of locker, the murderer, Connor, the person accused of murder, the other prisoners confined in the gaol, and several strangers of both sexes, would be brought for ward, the Court below the bar was densely thronged. THE CONDEMNED SERMON. Alderman and Sheriff SIDNEY, after having presented the usual Sheriffs' returns of the state of the prisons, said the Sheriffs thought it right to inform the Court that some remarks had been made in the House of Peers on the subject of the admission of the public to hear the condemned sermon in the chapel of Newgate, and also with reference to the public execution of the convict murderer, Hocker. The Sheriffs had deferred making any reply to these remarks, knowing as they did know that the Secretary of State had directed an inquiry into the facts and circumstances attending the matter, and when the report which would be the result of the in quiry should be laid before the Legislature, and fur nished to them, the Sheriffs would to ready to enter fully into the case, in their own defence. Sir PETER LAURIE observed that he for one could not but thank the House of Lords for interesting themselves upon that which he thought was a most nefarious course of proceeding. Alderman and Sheriff HUNTER rose to address the Court, but resumed his seat. Alderman CHALLIS here interposed, and called upon Sir Peter Laurie to retract the expression he had made use of. Alderman Sheriff SIDNEY observed that he should have thought Sir Peter Laurie's sense and gentlemanly conduct would have induced him to recal the expression to which he had given utterance, since that the Sheriffs had delayed and deferred a reply to the grave charges made against their conduct, pending the inquiry set on foot by the Secretary of State. Sir Peter Laurie had been a magistrate sufficiently long to know that expo to statements were not always to be relied upon. Sir PETER 'LAURIE —I know nothing to recal. I merely meant to say that " thank God there is a House of Lords." Sheriff HUNTER said he was not aware that his col league had the slightest intention of making any obser vations in reference to the proceedings in another place, hut he was prepared to express his opinion as to the pro priety of the observations which had been made in the High Court of Parliament He felt that his colleague and he were placed in a certain position from not having been aware of the nature of two orders which were on the records of the Court, and which were made, the one so far back as the year 1825, and the other, an explanation of the former order, in 1842. It was due to the public, as well as to themselves, that he should at once express the reasons why the Sheriffs were not aware of the exist ence of any such rules or laws as these orders to which he referred, being in force. He found,however, that in the books of the Court there was to be seen an order which, with the permission of the Court, he would now read. " Court of Aldermen, March 29, 1825. " The Court proceeded, in•the adjourned consideration of the report of the Committee in relation to the several gaols of this city, recommending the public to be ex cluded from hearing the condemned sermon at his Ma jesty's gaol of Newgate, and the said report, as delivered in and read in this Court on the 18th day of January last, was now again read in these words . " To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, and Court of Aldermen, we whose names are hereunto subscribed, your Committee, in relation to the several gaols of the. City, to whom, on the 30th day of November last, it was referred to consider whether it may or may not in future be expedient to exclude the public from the chapel in. Newgate on the Sunday preceding the day on la hich any convict or convicts may in future be ordered for execution, and to report our opinion thereon to this Court, do certify that we have taken the same into our most serious consideration ; and, after due deliberation, are decidedly of opinion thtt in future it will be expe dient to exclude strangers altogether from the chapel in Newgate on the Sunday preceding the day on which any convict or convicts may be ordered for execution, in the same manner as they are excluded on other Sundays ; and we recommend to this Honourable Court to give the requisite directions accordingly. " All which we submit. Dated this 18th day of January, 1825. " M. WOOD. " J. J. SMITH. " A. BROWN. " Which report was well liked and approved of by this Court, and ordered to be observed accordingly." The next order was to the following effect " Court of Aldermen, June 24th, 1842, " Resolved and ordered, that the practice of ex cluding strangers from the chapel in the gaol of New gate, during the performance of Divine worship, on Sunday, be henceforth adhered to on every Sunday previously exeotiexecution o t f o a t n h y e e d o ay nr t o h t a o t r may convicts, lae a appointed s well as on r the other t her Sundays, conformably to the spirit of a resolution of this Court, passed on the 29th day of March, 1825, after consideration of a report from the Committee, in relation to the several gaols of this City. " Ordered that Mr. Town-Clerk do deliver a copy of the foregoing resolution to each of the future Sheriffs of this City, immediately on their being sworn into office. " MERE WETHER." Their esteemed friend, the Town-Clerk, since this affair, had addressed to him (Sheriff Hunter) a letter, stating that he was not aware of the necessity imposed upon him, of sending copies of these orders to the Sheriffs, and consequently they had not been furnished either to Sheriff Sidney or to himself.—(Hear, hear.) lie assured Sir Peter Laurie that he did not at all flinch from, but rather approved of the expressions to which he had given utterance. Several Voices.--You did not hear them. Sheriff HUNTER resumed—They might not have been ' quite delicate or proper, but he hardly knew what it was the worthy Alderman had said. Of this, however, he might rest assured, that the Sheriffs were gratified with the reference ordered by the Secretary of State for in quiry into the whole matter. At present, however, he only wished that the Sheriffs might stand right with the Court and the public when they were ignorant of the existence of any such orders as those which he had felt it his duty to read. If they had been in possession of such documents, then he should have been disposed en tirely to agree with Sir Peter Laurie. He repeated that he was not sorry the matter had been made the subject of reference for inquiry—into that inquiry he would not at present enter. For the present, be was content to mention the fact that the Sheriffs were not aware of the existence of these, or any other orders, regulating the manner in which they were to proceed on thse affecting —to him, deeply affecting—occasions. He deeply re gretted that any circumstance should have arisen to call for any observations, either in that Court or in any other, upon the conduct of the Sheriffs. The TOWN-CLERK hoped the Court would be kind enough to indulge him with an opportunity of saying a few words on this subject, which, in substance, he had already stated to the Prison Inspectors, and to the Gaol Committee of that Court. The order of 1842 was made on the very day that he was sworn into office, and upon it he had acted within three or four days afterwards, by sending copies to Sir William Magnay and Mr. Rogers, the then sheriffs. In his office there was kept a book in which were entered all matters which were to be done annually or periodically; but, unfortunately, these orders had been omitted to be entered, and undoubtedly the fact was, that copies were not sent either to Aldermen Musgrove and Moon, the preceding sheriffs, or to Alder men Hunter and Sidney, the present sheriffs. The neglect or oversight undoubtedly rested on his (the Town-Clerk's) office, and for it he was afraid he must take all the liability which attached to it. He was bound to say that the Sheriffs had no knowledge of the order of 1842, as they ought to have had furnished to them. With respect to the order of 1825, it was not necessar3 by its terms, that it should be communicated to the " Sheriffs ; and on searching the bo o k s, h e could find memorandum to the effect that it h a d ever been com municated to the Sheriffs or to the keeper of the ao Sir I'. LAURIE said that the Statement lust madgewl-ent Indeed, very much to exculpat e th e Sheriffs. he might add that there existed such a morbid curiosity in the public, even of the higher class, that he believed it was scarcely possibl e f or t h e Sheriffs to withstand the appli cations made to them for admission Some idea of th e extent to whi c h t hi s diseased feeling of curiosity ran might be formed by a circumstance he would mention. There Was at present in Bethlem hospital a man who had been t r i e d and acquitted on the (Sir Peter L aur i e was here supposed ground of to allude to ln tl s t a e n c i a t) s . e . of Oxford, who fired at her Majesty in the Park.) lle would not mention the man's name, but he ph dged his honour to the fact that ft lady of title was anxious to procure that individual's autograph, and upon being refused th e f avour s h e actua ll y employed a solicitor, who was well known, to obtain it for her. He would say such was a morbid curiosity, the exhibition of which was very disgraceful to the party. He had been maw twenty years connected with the Corporation, and he had heard but one condemned sermon, and he never had been and be never would be, a party to torturing a con _ . vict under sentence of death to colt:tress to him (Sir Peter Laurie) his guilt. He never— The LORD MAYOR inte ted That is not the question before :the ,an therefore it is irregu'sr to pursue it. Sir PETER LAURIE said it might be so, but still it was a good opportunity for him to remark that'these means of making a felon notorious ought to be avoided, when the less that was said about him the better. The LORD MAYOR said, he wished before the conversa tion was closed to make a very few remarks. In the first place he begged to observe, that some of the observa tions which had been made elsewhere had been calcu lated to bring in the whole of the Corporation as liable to blame, whereas the body of the Corporation were en tirely innocent of the whole affair. He begged also to state that when he held the office of Sheriff, be had never received a copy of the order of 1842, which had been read that day. At the same time, it appeared to him that the order left the admission of the public on the occasion of the condemned sermon being preached, very much at the discretion of the Sheriffs for the time being, the words being as well as on other Sundays. For him self, he would add, he had never been present at an execu tion except upon one occasion, when he was Sheriff elect. That was at the execution of Courvoiseer whose case had excited great inter es t , an d a strong manifestation of that morbid curiosity which had been alluded to. He had felt it his duty to attend, fearing that he might be called on to perform a similar duty to that discharged by the gentlemen who were at that time Sheriffs. Happily, however, he and his colleague went through their shrievalty, and were spared that pain. At the condemned sermon preached to Courvoisier he saw one of the Prison Inspectors present as a visitor, and the same gentleman was also present on the morn ing of execution, having introduced into the prison a gentleman, who was said to be a Noble Lord, but cer tainly he introduced a friend.—(Hear, hear.) Sheriff SIDNEY was sure the Sheriffs were most anxi ous to pay deference to the proper authorities, but he was anxious it should go forth that the Sheriffs did not admit that they had committed any act of which they were ashamed. He could safely assert that no Sheriff had been better advised by the Under-Sheriff than had been his colleague and himself, and everything that had been done was done after due reflection, and advisedly. Having said thus much, he hoped all that was further to be said upon the matter would be deferred, until by the report, which no doubt would be supplied to the Secre cretary of State, they should know what charge was made against them. In the meantime, let public opi nion be suspended on the subject. He defied any one to say on the case as stated, they had done anything wrong. All that had been done he was prepared man fully to defend. Alderman lItJMPJIERY thought that a copy of the order which had been brought under the notice of the Court, should be sent to the Governor of Newgate who had just now informed him (Alderman Humphyry) that he had never before known of the existence of any order prohibiting the admission of strangers to hear the con .demned sermon. He was sorry to hear the worthy Sheriff declare publicly that he was still determined to carry out the opinion he had expressed until something like condemnation of the practice should be made. Sheriff SIDNEY—I said I shou'd respect all proper authority. Alderman HUMPHERY said he perhaps had misunder stood the worthy Sheriff• However, Sir J. Graham had informed him (Alderman Humphery) that he had sent down one of the prison inspectors to make a full inquiry into the circumstances, and it was to be presumed, that when an inquiry was made, a report would be made to the Home-office, and sent down to the Cerporation. Then it would be seen how the Inspector dealt with the matter. The Loan MAT on observed, that on Saturday hst tho Committee of Aldermen had directed copies of the orders read to be sent to the Sheriffs as well as to the Governor of Newgate.—llere the matter dropped. STATE OF THE CITY PAISONS. A report was presented from the Gaol Committee on the subject of a conference with the Governor of Bride well Hospital, relative to additional accommodation being aff , rded there for prisoners, in consequence o f t h e crowded state of the City Ga ols, and also a further re port on the subject of the means taken to purchase ground adjoining Newgate for the erection of a new Compter. The first report stated, that upon the examination of Captain Kincaid, the Superintendent of Bridewell, it appeared that there was only accommodation there for seventy males and thirty females, and that in cone. quence of the lengthened imprisonment awarded at pre sent to vagrants and others, the prison was generally kept full. Notice was sent round daily of the number of cells vacant, in order that the magistrates might regulate the commitments there accordingly. It was further stated that there was not space, neither had the Governor funds to extend the building and increase the accommodation of prisoners. The second report recapitulated the proceeding.; taken with reference to several plans which had been suggest( d for the increase of the present Compter, by the additions to be made to it on the site of the late Fleet prison. Both of these plans had been rejected, and the report re commended the erection of a new Compter in the rear of Newgate and the Sessions-house, on a site preferable, on the score of space and situation, and abutting upon Warwick-lane. The report concluded by stating that the Committee were decidedly of opinion ti.at it was in dispensably necessary to adopt immediate measures for the accommodation of prisoners ; and, in order to carry out the provisions of the statute recently paned in rela tion to their classification and employment. Sir P. LAURIE thought it extraordinary that the re port did not contain a single syllable as to the probable cost of carrying its recommendation into effect. What was the estimated cost ? Sheriff IIusTER: About 100,0001. Sheriff SIDNEY thought the Court would do well to inquire whether a much more eligible site could not be found out of the city? The LORD MAYOR remarked that the better course to adopt, would be to print the report, and fix the consider ation of it for another day. Sheriff SIDNEY: The subject has been already six months under consideration, and nothing has been done yet. The report was then ordered to be printed, and the consideration of it was adjourned. COMMITMENTS TO BRIDEWELL. Sheriff SIDNEY rose to bring forward a motion of which he had given notice, to the effect, "that informa tion having come to the knowledge of the Court, that a prisoner committed to the prison of Bridewell by Sir James Duke, had been liberated contrary to the warrant of commitment, it is the bounden duty of the Court to. inquire fully into the circumstances, with a vie w remedying such an infringem en t o f t h e c, criminal laws oC the country." The LORD MAYOR inquired whether, in the abs,,er ee of Sir James Duke, the Sheriff would not postpone the motion. Sheriff SIDNEY replied that he did not think it ne cessary to have any delay, as the circumstances were well known to the Court. By the course whith they had taken in the matter, the power and authority of the magistrates of the City of Londe7 l had been set at nought, in a manner calculated justice. He had taken pai 'lO defeat the ends of t".a to ascertain the circum stances, and he belie Ist of March, Sl '7"ed them to be these : —On the ". James Duke committed three men t the treadmil l .% House of Correction— two for fourteen days-, ithd cue for seven days. On being taken there. :,), the police-constable, two, named Stevens and Alder. son, were received, bot the third, Morris, was refused: admission, and consequently brought back to the justice room, by police-constable Barnes, 324. On his return. Sir James Duke gave Barnes strict orders to take the prisoner again to Bridewell, and leave him there, whether they would receive him or not. Barnes obeyed his in structions, and on the following day it was discovered: that the prisoner had been discharged by order of the Governor, because the prison was full ; and on this discovery being made, the con stable was dispatched to retake the prisoner, but failed in securing him, as he had given a false address- True, the man had only been committed for seven days, but the same could have been done if he had been committed for an offence for which he might have been liable to seven years' transportation. Already sufficient encroachments had been made upon the powers of the Court with reference to the Royal Hospitals, and without saying more, he would move " that it be re ferred to the Gaol Committee, to inquire into the power of the magistrates of the City of London to commit to Bridewell, and to report the instances, if any, in which the warrants of commitment have been discharged." Sir PETER LAURIE SRid there could be objection to the motion, but he must complain that it had been brought forward in the absence of Sir James Duke. The motion was then agreed to. NAVIGATION OF THE THAMES. Alderman FAREBROTHER presented certain titer s. _ tions proposed by the Watermen's Company to be made in the bye-laws for the regulation of steam-vecsels navigating the River Thames. The proposals were re ferred to the Navigation Committee.—Adjourned.
