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, and 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 Wymondham, 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 Bar 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.

At the dinner of the Williton and Dunster Agricultural Association, which took place at D uns t er on Th urs d a y l as t B. Escott , Esq., M.P., in the ch a ir, th a t gen tl eman , in allusion to the failure of the potato crop, and to the measures to be adopted in consequence, spoke as fellows (we quote the report of the Somerset County Gazette) :—" At this moment, from most careful inquiries which lie had made, he found that the article of potatoes formed one half of the food of the people residing in this neighbourhood.—(' No, no,' from the Rev. Mr. Ralph.) One gentleman said no, but he (Mr. Escott) had endeavoured to ascertain what the fact was.— (A Farmer—' More than half.') He had inquired of the large landowner, of the tradesman, of the farmer in every condition, of artificers in towns and villages, and of labourers in all classes, and the conclusion to which he had been led by those inquiries was, that one half of the food of the people consisted of potatoes.—(' You are quite right.') He would be happy if any one could prove that he was wrong, but until his worthy friend (Mr. Ralph) had denied what he had stated; lie had not heard one practical man dispute the fact.—( Mr. Ralph —' I view the question as a national one.') It was a national question, and as such it should be viewed.( Loud cheers.) There was a great national calamity impending, and that fact should not be stifled.—(Mr Ralph here made an observa tion, which did not reach us.) He begged his Reverend Friend not to interrupt him. lip to this moment ho had heard no denial, except that by Mr. Ralph, of the fact dmt potatoes formed one half of the food of the people.—( A farmer, And more too.') . One gentleman now said more,' but taking it as he (Mr. Escott) had stated, how much of that crop had been destroyed—how much of it had ceased to be food?—(' More than three quarters.') lie believed that in the whole case it would be found that four fifths had been destroyed, rendered totally useless.—(He ar, hear.) And were they (the ag-riculturi s t s ) in such a state as not to be able to tell the truth? Why, when the time came that bitter want pressed upon those who now chiefly lived upon potatoes, wou:d those who suffered be satisfied to have the matter stifled? Would they be satisfied to hear that it was a visitation of Providence, and that all that could be done was to endeavour to avert the consequences? He was not a reasonable man who endeavoured to stifle inquiry, and the fullest inquiry, into the case.—(Cheers.) He had asked what portion of food had been destroyed, and he was told three-fourths. He himself stated that four-fifths were nearer the mark. How, then, he asked, were those to live who had been accustomed to use potatoes to the extent of one-half of their food, now that three fourths of that crop had been destroyed ?—(Hear, hear.) He knew what had, been done in former times, in cases of similar emergency—he knew that in the case of the oldest nation of which we have any record, the inhabitants sent to the granaries of other countries for food. He knew, also, that whenever the people of this country had been distressed, one of the principal causes of that distress always was the high price of provisions in our great trading communities.—(Hear, and cheers). He advised those who heard him to consider these things ; he advised those who were in the government to consider them ; he advised such men as his hon. friend ( Mr. Acland), than whom there were few more able or honest, he ad vised all to use the influence which rank and station, educa tion and ability, and honesty gave them, to endeavour to ward off or to mitigate the evil that was impending.—(Loud cheers). Let them tell those who were in power, to beware how they tampered when such an imminent danger stared them in the face.—(Enthusiastic cheering). He had said nothing as to future famine—he prayed God to avert it; but he did tell them that there was danger of it; and it was madness in the government, in members of Parliament, or in the public, to shut their eyes to this fact, which was staring them in the face."—(The hon. gentleman sat down amid loud and long -continued cheering.)

They commenced by draw ing the preserves by Virginia Water, Mr. Corfield's planta tions, and the Belvinere Gorse, all of which were drawn blank. The hounds then proceeded to the Forest, which, after some time, produced a fine fox. The scent at first was very cold and bad, and the hounds had great difficulty in picking up the scent, but the hounds stuck right well to their work, and their perseverance was rewarded by an improved scent. After ringing about the wilds of the Forest, the fox crossed the road to Bray-wood, went through it at a racing pace, and broke covert opposite St. Leonard's; he was headed in the open and returned to Bray-wood, where, however, he had no intention of remaining, but passing through the wood, broke covert again at New-lodge, made across the country round by Captain Blanc's Park, and Fyfield, where he was headed by a shepherd dog back towards the Forest, and after running two fields in view th e hounds ran into him, after a fine hunting race of one hour and twenty minutes. Sir John Cope sent the brush as a birthday present to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. AN EXAMPLE FOR LANDLORDS.—The Duke of Hamilton has had as much turf cut thi s l as t summer, on Newby Moss, near Garstang, for the purpose of being applied in the construction of drains on his Ashton estate, as would cover a drain from Lancaster to Preston, a distance of 22 miles. His Grace has also built a tile-kiln at Cabus, so that his tenants can be supplied with either turf, or pipe tiles, as circumstances may require, as in strong ground turf does not answer.—Lancaster Guardian. CORK COLLEGE—PBOFESSOR BANE.—The long disputed point, as to the Presidentship of our new Cork Col lege, is settled. Professor Kane is appointed. There could not, indeed, be a more judicious selection. His qualifications every way entitle him to such a distinction. As a man of science he has scarcely a rival in Great Britain. As a lecturer, lie is bold and eloquent, mastering his sullject with an ability worthy both of a scientific scholar and eloquent gentleman. His work on the " Industrial Resources of Ireland " will re main a monument of his genius and industry. Since the days of Swift, nothing has aroused so much national senti ment and Irish opinion as that work of Dr. Kane's.—Cork Examiner.

The administration of the Lord's supper, and attendance at funerals, arc permit ted. It is said that this notice was given to Ronge so:ne days ago at Ulm. The Constitutionnel stated, some days ago. that Prince Jerome de Montfort, nephew of our King had become insane, and had been taken to his family at Florence, whereas he is here in Stuttgard, in good health both in body and mind. The marriage of Princess Catherine and Princess Frederick of Wurtemburgh, daughter and nephew of the King, is sali to be fixed for the 20th of nest month. BRESLAW, Ocr. 30.—Those Roman Catholic citizens -re remonstrated with the magistrates against the grant of 1,000 dollars fir the support of the Catholic community, an,' whose application did not succeed, then addressed a cciu siet to the Government, being still of opinion that ih.• resolution of the deputies of the city was decidedly and that it was an injury to the Roman Catholics. The Government, however, is not of this opinion, and has like wise refused the petition of the applicants SCIIEVERIN, Nov. 4.—Her Royal Highness the Grad Duchess and her Royal Highness the Duchess Leeks will leave this city on the Bth of this month, to go to Italy to visit her Majesty the Empress of Russia. They will go by wsy of Ber.in, Lcipsic, Naretnburg, Augsburg, Innsbruck, Buxen, ai d Genoa, at which place they will embark in an Imperial Russian steamer for Palermo, where they expect to arrive on the 25th of December; the best sashes of the loyal Mecklenburghers accompanying their beloved Grand Ducli;ss, who undertakes So long a journey, at this ssassn of the year, to see her sister the Empress. BERLIN, NOV . . 4.—The Universal Prussian Gazette has the following article : " The tariff of the Zollverein, published in the bulletin of the laws of this date, for the year 1846-1848, contains no change in the duties on all kinds of 3Tarn fixed by the pend ing tariff, which is still in force. Many persons will be dis satisfied, and more surprised, at this result of the long aed animated discussion of the Congress at Carlsruhe.. It must, however, be considered that every change in the tariff must have the assent of every member of the Church, and cons -- quently that a difference of opinion either on the .question whether any change shall he made, or what shall be the ex tent of the change, leads to the conclusion that the old duties shall be retained. In the present case the difference of opi nion seems to have turned on the latter point; some Govern ments having wished and proposed augmentations on the duties so great-awl extensive is which other Governments.• and these too the most interested in the branches of manu facture in question—could not accede to, while no dispositien wstesmanifested by the former Government to agree to the proposals that were repeatedly made to reconcile the several wisnes and views; and there was not time to settle the exist ing difference before the time positively fixed by the statutes for the publication of the tariff. Though it is doubtless to be lamented that the yarn manufacture in the Zollverein mu be deprived for a time of an increased protective duty which has been proposed, it will be gratifying to those who arc is terested to know that the Prussian Government, on this un expected issue of the conference at Carlsruhe, has been in duced to declare that it cannot consider the questions as postponed till the next revisal of the tariff, but reserve t) itself the option of regarding those questions as still PendinA s and of resuming the discussion for the purpose of decidir4 them at any future time. The necessary steps are already taking to act on this reservation. (We have already stated that ether accounts announce that conferences to this effect are held at Berlin.)—Hursburyi Papers, Nov. 6. SEDUERG lt.--ENGINEERING DIFFICULTIES..-0 usually quiet village was on the night of Thursday, 30th Oc tober, " frighted from its propriety" by the continuous ar - rival of omnibuses, gigs, cars, and chaises, crowded wit' t passengers, at the doors of the principal inns. Night • caps evershadowing wondering eyes were thrust from chamber windows, and urgent inquiries as to the can; of this- invasion were made by our disturbed denizen.., who, unsatisfied, were compelled by the cold t.) retire shivering to their beds again. 11ot-fling, however, cleared up the mystery, for at the first streak of day, forth from their quarters issued a large party of surveyors, headed by . a railway engineer from Lancaster, and attended b: upwards of one hundred and fifty men, amongst whom were a goodly number of most truculent visaged navies. Having achieved something like order, they marched direct to the estate of one of our neighouring gentry, who has made himself conspicuous by his pertinacious opposition-to rail ways, and his fixed determination to "do what he likes witlt his own." Arrived here, they immediately commenced ope rations, levelling, &c., and notwithstanding an opposing muster of tenantry, led by gamekeepers, who actually threw ened to shoot the instruments! and so commit itvel-icide, the preliminary works necessary for the formation of a rail way through the land were soon completed, and at three o'clock, P.M., three rattling cheers announced the discomfi ture of the vermin-preservers and their suzerain.—Lancaster Guardian REPRESENTATION OF CASHEL.—The eleetors have decided on Sir Colman O'Loghlen as their representative.

RAILROADS AND THE BRITISH MUSEUM.--The fol lowing official document has been forwarded by Sir Henry Ellis, the principal librarian of the British Museum, to the various railway companies in actual operation or formation. Although the document would appear to come from Sir Henry Ellis, it is understood to emanate at the request of the government, the object being to form a complete' Set of maps, plans, and diagrams relative to dividing England into railway sections :—" British Museum, Oct. 31, 1845, Sir—Feeling it to be extremely desirable that as complete a collection as possible of the several prospectuses, plans, sec tions, surveys, and other printed or engraved documents rela tive to railways, either only as yet projected or already in corporated, should be preserved in this national institution, I take the liberty to request the favour of a copy of all the do cuments of this description which have been issued by the company represented by you, in order that they may be deposited in this library.—l have the honour to be, your obe dient servant, HENRY Ews, principal librarian." FIRING AT MR. BARTON, OF CLoNELLL—We have been favoured by Messrs. Johnston, of Eden. quay, with the following account of an atrocious outrage in Fermanagh : As F. W. Barton, Esq., of Clonelly, in that county, was re turning home on Friday last, about half-past nine o'clock. from dining' with his friend, Counsellor Barton, of Kelsh, when within half a mile of his own house, he was fired at and dangerously , wounded in the breast. The latest account from Enniskillen Saturday afternoon, states that the doctor has just returned from Clonelly, and reports that Mr. Barton is going on favourably, but is very feverish. Two men have been taken up on suspicion. —Freeman. [lt is 'stated that this attempt arose out of private pique, or from some deci sion . given by him on the preceding day, in his capacity as a magistrate.—Limerick Reporter.] THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF CANADA.—We regret to learn that the latest advices from Canada give a most unfavourable account of the state of Lord Metcalfe's health. Indeed we have seen a private letter from a gentle man whose official duties give him daily opportunities fur observation, which represents the distinguished person in question as so worn down by suffering . as to inalte it utterly impossible that human nature can much 'longer bear up, unless the cruel disease (cancer of the face) to which he has so long been a martyr should take a most unexpected change.. Lord Metcalfe had, up to the last possible moment, persevered in his personal attention to the duties of his important office; but on the day on which the letter to which we have alluded was written, he was for the first time unable to bear the pain and fatigue of removal to the Council-room, and the indispensable business was necessarily transacted in his absence. The writer of the letter expresses an opinion that a month, or, at the furthest, two, must see the conclusion of this afflicting tragedy; 'and he proceeds to express a hone that the Government at home will be prepared to send out the best substitute they can supply in the place of one for whom it would be vain to ex pect an equal. The sufferings of the Governor-General have latterly been so agonising, that even his best friends could scarcely wish the struggle to be much longer protracted.— Britannia. and realised high prices, PRESTON CATTLE FAIL—The usual fair was held (Friday).

This is the finest catch of herrings which has taken place in this neighbourhood for some years past.—Plymouth Times.
