This short line will run through one of the most picturesque and attractive districts in the neighbourhood of the metropolis ; it will traverse the whole of the populous country lying between Windsor and the Farnborough station of the South-Western Railway, where a reception-room has been fitted up for the accommodation of the 'Queen and Prince Albert and suite, in their frequent progresses to and -from the Isle of Wight. • The places brought in direct communication with this line will be, Ascot, Bracknell, Bagshot, the Royal Military College at Sandhurst, Blackwater, Fritnicy, and Farnborough ; all of them Places of considerable resort, lying on the route from London to the theist fashionable suihnier retreat in the ,United Kingdom. The ad vantages of this line are obvious ; even without the facility of a ra- Aid or direct communication, , the pleasure traffic and business inter course of these places are already very large, and it is reasonable to anticipate that the establishment of a railway will not only increase the traffic in the usual ratio, but that it will draw off and concen trate upon this line a great fxittion of that holiday and pleasure-seek- Jug n -Po ts palatiota.whicia-ia..seeaa-acattered....asm. eo many less a tt ract i ve Sce. This rail Way will secure the whole traffic from London to Ascot, in eotthtuctiOn With the London and Windsor Railway, and open a new source of , evenue to the Shareholders in that company. The traffic of -passengers from the metropolis to Ascot during the race week, trorn authentic sources, is estimated at 8,0001., in addition to which an increase may be calculated upon from Winchester, Southampton, P ortsmouth, the Isle of Wight, and places adjacent to Ascot; and Ldso confer a benefit upon the Shareholders in the South-Western liailway Company. The Windsor, Ascot, and Farnborough Line ' t herefore may be described as a junction, which must be productive o f a large revenue to the two lines it will unite ; deriving from each ' advantages of corresponding value. ' Another striking feature of profit and utility embraced in this line !till be, direct communication between London and the Royal Mill '"s7 College at Sandhurst ; the number of persons interested in that neat nationsl establishment will thus be provided with rapid and ~_* -412 , means of transit, while the facility m us t t en d t o i ncrease the Mfrs considerably beyond the usual average. • This railway will also complete a direct route io the Isleof Wight, Which is every day increasing in fashionable rerutation, in conse quence Of the frequent visits of royalty:, and her Majesty's selection of the island for a summer residence, the population of which is _ e arl) , • augmenting ' under the . influence of these propitious cir• s qrastances. ' The facility of conveyance to and from the kennel of the royal ,i_itsi-hounds may also be referred to as one 'of the exclusive advan `aCes of this line. And in addition to the sources of profit already indicated, consider able stress may be laid upon the amount which will be derived from the supply of coals and conveyance of heavy goods to the towns ''' rf usgh or near to which this line will pass, which are at present, for the most part, supplied by an expensive land carriage • from the ;nal at Basingstoke, or the Farnborough statio n o f th e , South estern Railway, or from the river Thames at Windsor or Kingston.

The formation of a railway from Nottingham to Boston is, unques tionably, of the greatest importance to the whole of the districts and towns which it will connect, and will prove highly advantageous to the manufacturing and agricultural interests. By reference to the map of England, it will be seen that Boston is only about forty-eight rifles from Nottingham, while ail other sea ports, on the east coast, are at a mw-h greater distance from Nottingham. A very great traffic alrt , xists between Boston and Nottingham, which may be Increased almost to an incalculable amount when the facilities of railway transit are completed. The export trade from Boston is now comparatively limited, by the want of means of conveyance from the manufacturing dist lets, which this railroad will supply. Boston is situate in the midst of the finest land in the kingdom; and this part of Lincolnshire may be justly termed the garden of the manufacturing district of England. The produce of the whole dis trict; particularly its wheat, is consumed in the large manufacturing towns ; and the carriage of corn and cattle, to the great centres of population, will alone ffirnish a constant and certain source of revenue. In addition to this, a large traffic will be carried along the line, in manufacture goods, and in coal and lime from the Nottingham shire and Derbyshire coal fields, to 'rural districts through which it passes, and to the shore of the German Ocean ; the latter traffic is yet to be developed, and with the cheap transit provided by this line the important article of coal wW compete at a great advantage to the con/Miner with the present supply, which is now brought by sea from Newcastle. A very considerable amount of the vast staple produce of Notting ham, Derby, Loughborough, Leicester, and the neighbourhood, which Is exported to Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Germany, and all other parts of the Baltic, is naw conveyed by .a circuitous and expensive rpute to Hull and London, and thence, after repeated removals by ship or steamer, to its destination; whereas, on the completion-of this line, it would be transmitted direct to Boston, and thence to the be fore-mentioned places. in much less time, and at a much less expense. Boston is not only the nearest seaport town to Nottingham, but it is the na tural seaport of the manufacturing towns of the whole of the midland district, and it is the most ennyenient, safest, and best situated on the eastern coast, for the shipment and transhipment of merchandise. By recent improvements the river, or arm of the sea, which runs through the centre of the town, has been widened and deepened, thus affording means for vessels of from three to four hun dred tons burthen, to take in and discharge their cargoes at the wharf-side, without risk or daniage, an object of importance not only iu point of security to the goods, but also in the saving of expense usually incurred for lighter charges. The nature of the country through which the line will pass is most favourable in its facilities for construction : it is nearly on a dead level. The cost of construction will be as low as that of any line in the kingdom ; and the Company will not have to encounter the opposi tion of the owners of the land and estates through which the line will pass, they being, as far as can be ascertained, most favourably WS. pcsed towards the undertaking. It will be seen that the proposed line combines all the elements of a profitable .railway ; it has a seaport town as one of the termini; it passes through a rich and productive agricultural district, to the great seats of manufacture and consumption, each being a certain source of traffic ; and it affords ready communication with the southern, northern, and midland counties. It is intended to apply for power in the Act to allow four per sent. interest upon deposits, until the cbmpletion of the line. Applications for shares may be made in the subjoined form, ad dressed to the Provisional Committee, at the Office of the Company, 14, Birchin-lane, Lombard-street, London; or to the Solicitors. No person need apply for shares unless the application is accom panied by an unexceptionable reference. A certain number of Shares will be reserved for owners of land on the line, and for parties resident In the locality through which the line will pass. FORM OF APPLICATION.

The object Of the proposed undertaking is to complete the line of radivay communication between the important city of Kilkenny and the capitals of Ireland and England, via Carlow; and to afford to the rich counties of Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wicklow, the most conve nient , local intercourse, with the cheapest mode of transmitting their produce to many of the prin c ip a l markets of England and Wales. A glance at the map will show the vast importance of the proposed railway. which will afford the most direct communication between all the south midland counties of Ireland and London, and the south and west of England; and It Is expected that as soon as the contem plated railway- from Port Dynllaen to Worcester Is completed, the direct journey from Kilkenny to London will not exceed thirteen hours, and from Carlow, twelve ; while the proposed advantage of short and direct railway access to a port of shipment on the eastern coast of Ireland, will affbrd such increased facilities for the export of the live stock, flour, and other aericultural and mineral produce, abounding in the counties through which the proposed line of railway will rap, as may reasonably be anticipated to produce a considerable profit to the Shareholders, and to prove of incalculable advantage to that rich and highly improving portion of Ireland. • The counties of Kilkenny anct*Cailow are also peculiarly famed for limestone of the purest quality, which is an absolute necessary, as manure, to the soil of the county of Wicklow, where, at present, with all the .disadvantages of slow and expensive land-carriage, it Is con veyed in very large and rapidly-increasing quantities. Thy Mineral traffic of the county of Wicklow, close to the mines of which the proposed line of railway Will pass, amounts to considerably upwards of 100,000 tons annually, a large portion of which is exported to Neath, Swansea, and the south-west of England, from which dis tricts. there is, in return, a very large importation of coal and culm, which would find its way Into the interior of the counties of Carlow and Wicklow by means of the proposed railway. It may also be expected that the 'amount of passenger traffic from the Island counties of Ire land, which the projected line will unquestionably draw towards the unrivalled natural beauties of the county of Wicklow, may be esti mated as a source of very considerable income. • From Purveys already completed, it has been ascertained that there are no engineering difficulties calculated to Impede the speedy and successful forination of the line; and the promoters have the satis faction of stating, that abotit three-fourths of the land through which the railway will pass is owned by the noblemen and gentlemen who compose the Committee of Management of the Company. The capital of the Company has been fixed with a view of making such necessary improvements in the. harbour of Wicklow as the public convenience may require. A portion of the Shares will be reserved for the Great Western, and the Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin Railway Companies, and power will be taken in the Act to lease the line to the latter Com pany at four per cent. per annum on the capital subscribed, in addi tion ers. to a moiety of the profits, if deemed d es i rable by the share- It is also proposed to take power for augmenting the capital, and extending the line direct from Kilkenny to Clonmel, if hereafter con sidered advantageous in which case priority as shareholders will be given to the shareholders of the present company. The plans, sections, and books of reference will be ready within the time prescribed by the standing orders of Parliament, and appli cation will be made for a Bill to incorporate the company very early in the next session. No subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit- of 11. Os. per share until the Act 'be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. Applications for shares may be addressed, post paid, to the Se cretary, in the following form, -at the Office of the Company, 449, West Strand, London, where prospectuses, with map and printed forms of application, may be obtained.

At a Meeting held on the 20th ultimo, of the Committee appointed by the County of Inverness, for promoting the erection at Inverness of a Lunatic Asylum, for Pauper and other Lunatics of the Northern Counties of Scotland ; We, the undersigned, William LI. Colquhonn, Advocate, Sheriff- Substitute of Inverness-shire, and John Mackenzie, banker in In verness, were appointed a Deputation to solicit Subseriptions In Lon don, in aid of the proposed Asylum. And being now arrived here, in pursuance of our mission, we beg leave to send you some particulars regarding the proposed establish ment, in the hope that you will be pleased to give it the benefit of your support by contribution or otherwise, Under that impression, we will do ourselves the honour of waiting on you, in a day or two, to learn your determination; but should we be so unfortunate as not to have an opportunity of seeing you personally, we hope you will be kind enough to favour us with your 'views, to the above address, on or before 12th instant. The primary object of the projected Institution is the accommoda tion ofpauper lunatics, and of other lunatics in poor circumstances, in the northern counties .f Scotland, which comprise an extent of surface equal to one-third of all Scotland, and have a population of about 250,000. Yet, with the exception of a very few cells attached to the infirmary at Inverness, there is not any provision made in all. this wide district for the secure confinement or medical treatment of the Insane, the poorer classes of whom, amounting in number to up wards of 700, are left in aetateof wretched destitution, either burden some to their poor relatives and paralysing their industry, or roam • ing about the country in search of a precarious subsistence--pitiable on account of their calamity, often alarming and dangerous to the community , froin their furious conduct, at once the disgrace, the in jury, and the terror of the country. To abate this crying evil, this heart-sickening and frightfill neglect and destitution, it is proposed to erect at Inverness, as the most central and convenient point, an Asylum for pauper lunatics, and for other lunatics in poor circumstances belonging to the northern coun ties. As a subsidiary and ulterior measure, provision will be maele for the addition afterwards of apartMente forxiclier classes of patients, The made far this purpoae can only be obtained Iy the voluntary contributions of such benevolent persons as are interested in the wel fare of the wide district of country referred to, or in the mitigation of human suffering generally. It is estimated that at least B,ooof. will be required to erect thu necessary buildings, and to form a fund for the permanent endowment of the Institution. Already considerable progress has been made, principally In the North of Scotland, in pro curing subscriptions - ; and hopes are confidently entertained that with Metropolitan, and perhaps Colonial aid, the necessary thuds will be obtained to secure this invaluable boon for the poor, and re move one of the worst blots on the lunnaulty of our countrymen. The rules for the government of the Institution will be of course de terinined at a general meeting of the Subscribers, and will be sub mitted to them on principles fitted to secure a liberal and efficient system of management, comprehending the chief official funtionaries of the district, but giving to the Sitbscribere due and ample powers of control and recommendation.

TO THE QUEEN'S MOST GRACIOITS MAJESTY. Your Majesty having been pleased to issue a commis sion under the great seal, dated the 14th of February, 1845, directed to Sir James Parke, Knight, one of the Barons of your Majesty's Exchequer ; Sir Edward Hall Alderson, Knight, one other of the said Barons ; Sir John Taylor Coleridge, Knight, one 01 the Justices of your Majesty's Court of Queen's 13eneh ; the Honourable James Stuart Wortley, Fitzroy Kelly, and Willi am Wh ate l ey, and John Green wood, Esquires, and Sir William Heathcote, Baronet ; and Edmund Denison and Thomas Grimstone Buckriall Estcourt, Esquires ; whereby, after reciting that it, had been humbly represented unto your Majesty that the circuits of the judges in England and Wales are very unequal, as well in extent as with respect to the number of causes tried upon such circuits respectively, and that the intervals between the period of holding the same in each year are also very unequal ; and that it had been considered that some alteration in these parti culars might be conducive to the public good, yottr Majesty was graciously pleased to appoint the said seve ral persons, or any five or more of them, to be your Ma jesty's Commissioners for inquiring and considering whether it would be expedient, with a view to the more convenient and better administration of justice, that any and what alteration should be made in the division of England and Wales into circuits for judicial business, and in the periods for holding such circuits, and whether it would be necessary or proper that any change should be made in the law terms for the purpose of such altera tions, and also for considering in what manner such al terations may be best effected : We, the commissioners, whose hands and seals are hereunto set, have carefully examined into the cluestions referred to us, and humbly report to your Majesty the result of our inquiries. We first proceeded to consider whether the in conveniences arising from the unequal division of the year into two circuits are such as to require a change, and how such change may be best ef fected. At present the interval between the sum mer and spring circuits is nearly eight months, whilst that between the spring and summer circuits does not exceed four ; and the former interval includes the whole winter, with its long nights, and its increased suffering, amongst the poorer classes. It cannot, there fore, be wondered . at, if, from the longer interval alone, at the spring circuit, the civil business should more than equal, and still less if, from the combined effect of both causes, the criminal business should very greatly exceed, that of the summer circuit ; and thus the burden upon the jurymen at the two assizes is disproportioned, and the prisoners committed soon after the summer assizes are necessarily imprisoned for a much longer period than those committed after the Lent assizes. This has led to the special commissions for delivering the gaols, issued for the last two years, under which sittings have been held in the larger counties in the months cf December and January. These have sup plied a remedy for the particular evils against which they were directed, but are themselves liable to the most serious objections. The sittings have been held to the great inconvenience and expense of jurors, sheriffs, and others, whose duties require their attend ance at the assizes, and who were called from their homes once oftener in the year than heretofore. They have been unattended by the same full bar which the union of criminal and civil business attracts to the ordinary assizes, which is not only an important benefit to the accused, but a great security for the due adminis tration of justice ; and they have been presided over by a single judge, a course by no means so satisfactory as where two judges travel the same circuit, and have the opportunity for mutual advice and assistance. It appears to us that the necessity for a third circuit, for criminal cases, with its attending advantages, may be obviated, and the benefit of a more speedy trial of of fenders obtained by a permanent arrangement whereby the circuits may occur at equal intervals of time, and the business be equally distributed between the winter and summer assizes. And this can only he done by an alteration in the time of holding the spring circuit ; for to alter the summer circuit, and to fix it during the months of September and October, would, we are convinced, be inexpedient. It would take from the bar and the judges, and indeed the whole legal profession, that wholesome vacation which alone, by its annual recurrence, brings them back with minds refreshed by leisure and varied study to their important duties, and it would be to devote a period of the year to the assizes at which the gentlemen and farmers of the country, w ho general have to act as jurymen, are otherwise much engaged. In order, therefore, to divide the year eqiially, the spring assi zes must b egin early in January ; think about the 11 t h J anuary would be found most con we venient. as being immediately after the Christmas quarter ses sions, when the gaols will have been delivered of the smaller offences by the local magistracy. In order to accomplish this, changed ; and we at one t i me stIPPQnd Hilary tt no must be ponement of Hil ary term b tilt the iiiat the post inning of March would be the best ar rann But we have thought, can fuller considerati— i that it is desirable to have two terms follow' ..ing each circuit, in order that there nay " . ..te ` n . opportunity of hearing and of disposing n! the 'motions for new trials arising therefrom, and et o.'.:: o ling the par ties, where new trials are grattlytk proceed tow 'heir We are satisfied that the bnsiness of the chambers in London during the circuits is fully sufficient to occupy the undivided attention of the fifteenth judge, who must remain in town, and that his labours certainly equal, and probably exceed, those of any judge travelling the circuit. It follows, therefore, that only fourteen judges can be spared for the circuits. On this supposition we have proceeded ; and here a difference of opinion has arisen aniont:st the members of the commission. All are agreed that the northern circuit is at present 1 inconveniently long, and that the business of some ,tif the smaller circuits might, without improperly pressing upon the judges, be increased, and the northern circuit divided ; but the only effective division which is practi cable with the present number of judges would dearly involve the annexation either of Yorkshire or Lancashire, or of some part of one of those counties, to the duty of two judges other than those travelling the northern eit , cuit. Under these circumstances, three of our body, him Baron Parke, Mr. Justice Coleridge, and Mr. Beckett Denison, are of opinion that the convenience of the country requires that some one of these divsions should be adopted ; whilst, on the other hand, si; of our body, viz , Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, Mr. Stuart Wortley, Mr. Whately, Mr. Greenwood, and Mr. Estcourt, 'think that no such change should, for the present at least, be ad With the excepti on o f Ar r. Baron Alderson, opted:the are of opinion th a t no e ffi cient and permanent Ste ration can be made without increasing the present number of judges ; and be concurs with them in thinking, that as the changes already suggested in the terms, and the time of holding the spring assizes, will allow sufficient space for the dispatch of the business of the northern circuit, as at present constituted, before the Easter term, though probably not before the commence ment of the sittings, the practical effect of the changes agreed by all to be recommended should be tried bercrt any other be made. Upon the supposition, however, that your Majesty may possibly think it proper to act upon the former opinion, we have proceeded to inquire which of the suggested divisions would be preferable, and in What manner it should be effected. And here we have an agreed, with the exception of Mr. Stuart Wortley, who forbesrs to give any such contingent opinion, that to separate Yorkshire from the rest of the northern districts would be the most convenient arrangement. We do not, however. propose to annex Yorkshire to any other circuit, but to form it, as it were, into a new circuit of itself. The question then arises, by whom as judges are the duties of this new c i rcu i t to be performed and we think th a t t h e additional labour will roost conveniently be imposed on those whose preset 4 duties are the lightest, viz., the judges travelling the Norfolk circuit, and that both their convenience and that of dieter of the northern circuit concur in the ar rangement that it should be travelled, in addition to their own cireuit, by these judges. after their ordinary labours shall have 'terminated. Th e usua l duration er 1 the Norfolk circuit needs not much to exced three weeks, and this a ddi t i onal duty would probab ly double it, This would only make a six weeks' circuit, and we thick, in comparison with several of the other circuits, this would not be found to be inconveniently long: Pro bably the L earned Judges would think it advisable 40 begin the Norfolk circuit in Norfolk or Suffolk, and end it in Buckinghamshire. By so doing they would, at thS? end of their first circuit, be within a few hours' distance from York, the scene of their additional labours; much nearer in point of time, and not farther in point of dis tance, than the judge travelling the South Wales cir. cuit is, at the end of that circuit, from his duties at Chester. We have no doubt that an efficient bar from the northern and Norfolk circuits would attend the new circuit ; and we recommend that the Learned Judge; %%ho travel the northern circuit should make Livetooj the last place, and that the commission days for York and Liverpool should, for the present at l east, b e on the, same day. Thi s pl a n, it will be seen, provides for the redu c ti on of the northern circuit, without disturbing any other ei r . cult, or rendering it necessary to provide any new ar rangement of clerks of assize; and if at any future time the number of the judges should be increased, and more general changes introduced, the additional labour no w produced to be thrown upon the judges travelling the Norfolk circuit may, without inconvenience, be with drawn. One trifling alteration would be necessary if this plan should be adopted in the appointment of the revising barristers ; it would be proper, by the aid of Parliament, to assign a definite number of them to Yorkshire, sub tracting it from the number now assigned to the northern circuit, and to give the appointment to the senior judge in the commission for Yorkshire. We humbly take leave further to state to your Ma jesty our opinion, that whether a change shall be made in the northern circuit or not, we think we are not called on to recommend a change in the arrangement of any -other circuit. It certainly appears very desirable in itself that the Welsh circuit . should be re - modelled, so that the assizes may be held before two judges, the num ber of assize towns being diminished, the disadvantage of a circuit being travelled by a single judge being se rions and sensibly felt ; but this cannot be accomplished without a considerable expense in the erection of new courts, the enlargement of gaols, and the prepara tion of additional lodgings for the judges ; and unless it should be thought proper to provide for these in the first instance, at the general expense of the whole king. dom, they will throw a heavy burden on the counties in the principality. We know that these and other obstacles prevented the plan recommended by the Commissioners for the Amendment of the Law, appointed by his We Majesty King George IV., in 1828, from taking place, any op p in a i r r of uptz and we have therefore abstained from entering into - a n . inquiry with respect to any change in the Wel s h circuit. W 0 have also abstained from offering several other changes suggested to us on the inhabitants of Bristol and other places, such as the pro priety o f b o ldi ng two assizes within the year, instead of one at Bristol, of holding assizes at other places. than this , at 1, hich they are now held in various counties, and of limiting the assize held at Coventry to the erai of Coventry alone, W e do not undervalue the ireprt tinPe “f some i &these, nor look upon them unfavovrahly; hot they appear to us not. to fall within the score of oar commission, All which we hutohly submit.

The legal year would then stand thus :--November the 2d to Novem ber the 23th, Michaelmas term ; November the 25th to the 2d of December, vacation ; the 2d of December fo the 23d of December, Hilary term ; December the 23d to April the 13tb, vacation ; and the rest of the year as at present. The vacation between Hilary and Easter terms would suffice for the assizes and sit tings ; and the deficiency of three weeks lost to the sittings by the short vacation between Michaelmas and Hilary terms, may then be supplied at the discretion of tle respective chief judges of each Court. We would limit that discretion only by forbidding sittings after the 11th of. January, and before the Ist of March. In order to accomplish this object, the aid of the Legislature will be required. If this plan be adopted, we would suggest further, that the Secretary of State for the Horne Dupartuient should recommend the justices of the peace, in their respective counties, to make some permanent arrange. ments fsr the more completely lighting the courts of justice, both as to the parts occupied by the spectators, and those devoted to the transaction of business, so that order may be more easily preserved. This we mention because the assizes will, under this proposed arrange ment, be held at a period of the year when the days are shorter, and daylight less bright. It may be as well also to observe, that unless your Majesty shall b e pl ease d to make some alteration in the time for the next appointment of sheriffs, the existing officers will, in many eases, be obliged to serve at three assizos. We have next proceeded to inquire whether the present inequality of the circuits requires to be corrected, and the circuits more conveniently arranged for the dispatch of business by the fifteen judges, and in what way this can best be effected. The length of time occupied on the respective circuits, which are travelled by two judge* each. is at preseeS nearly as follows:—On the Norfolk - circuit rather more than three weeks; on the home and the midland, each, rather more than a month; on the Oxford and western circuits, each, about six weeks; on the northern circuit about eight weeks, and this allowing only te fortnight for York, for which, however, three weeks ought to be. allowed, in order to avoid the danger of rerninets, and to insure the disposal of the criminal business there by the judges alone, without the aid of other commis sioners. The number of causes • forms the best criterion of the weight of business on each circuit • that of th e pri •soners is less a ccura t e , f or on all die circuits, except the northern, persons charged with small offences.. are generally committed for trial at the assizes, if thee teeew before the quarter sessions. Ors the northeri the great. offences only, for the most part, are sent to the assizes, which circumstance dinriniihes the apparent relative quantity of criminal business on that circuit, as stated in .the official returns.- As suming, therefore, the number of causes as the proper criterion, and taking an average of the last ten years, we find the business of the Northern Circuit to be five times as great as the Norfolk or Welsh Circuits, nearly three times as great as the Midland, more than twice as great as the Oxford or Western, and nearly twice as great as the Home Circuit. We all agree that though , some inequality on the circuits is desirable, both for the judges and the bar, yet that which now exists in this in stance is too great ; and the only question is, hoW best it can be remedied.
