The obiect of this Railway is to connect South and North Wales, the improving and important port and fashionable watering place of Aberystwith. Shropshire and Cheshire, gm, with Manchester, Lan cashire, Yorkshire, Staffordshire, the Potteries, Derbyshire, and the North of England. Its course will be a continuation of the Manchester and Birming ham Railway from Crewe, through Nantwich, Whitchureh, Elles mere, Oswestry, Welshpool, Montgomery, Newtown, and Llanidloes, terminating at " Cardigan Bay," and the Port of Aberystwith, with a Branch from Ellesmere to the coal-field of Rhuabon. Preliminary surveys have been made, and it preffents no engineering difficulties, and is remarkably favourable for cheap construction. This line is especially called for by the local wants of the districts, is not a competing line with any existing or proposed Railway, and will he the only direct route from Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Leominster, Hereford, Aberystwith, Machynlleth, Rhyader, Lhndloes, Newtown, Bishop-Castle, Montgomery, Welshpool, Llanfyllin, Dolgelly, Liam gollen, Rhuabon, Chirk, Overton, Oswestry, Ellesmere, Went, Prees, Whitchurch, Audlem, and Nantwich, to the Staffordshire Potteries, Warrington, Manchester, and the whole of Lancashire and York shire, thus accommodating a population of not less than 300,000 indi viduals. And, by means of this line and "the Trent Valley Continuation Railway," it will give the only communication by Railway from Market Drayton, Malpas, Wrexham, and Mold, with the above named districts and towns. And, jointly with the " Trent Valley Continuation Railway," will be the most direct line from Oswestry, Wem, Ellesmere, Llangollen, Overton, and Rhuabon, to Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and London. It is a most important fact that Crewe, the Terminus of this line, is the centre of five existing or proposed Railways, embracing the immense locomotive establishments of those Railways, and the branch from this line proceeds to the great iron-works and coal-field of Rhuabon. Engineers and scientific men have fully established the fact, that the coal of this district is the finest in Europe for the ma nufacture of coke, and by this Railway it will be brought directly to the before-named locomotive establishments, and also be the means of supplying the interior of Wales with coal, much better, and at a lower price than at present. It will greatly benefit the extensive agricultural population of South and North Wales, the Vale of Clwyd, Shropshire, and Cheshire, which will obtain a cheap and quick transit for their agricultural produce to the Crewe establishments, and the manufacturing dis tricts of the Potteries and Manchester, including the whole of Lan cashire and Yorkshire, and also to Birmingham and London. The importance to the several counties through which this Railway will pass, of access to the safe harbour of Aberystwith, cannot be overrated. A great intercourse and interchange of commodities must take place between the agricultural districts, the coal and iron mines of Wrexham and Rhuabon, and the flannel manufactories of Welshpool, Newtown, Sc., with Manchester. The existing traffic is very considerable, and a glance at the ac companying map will show at once the great resources of this Hue ; and, it is manifest, that it certainly must become one of the most valuable and productive lines in the kingdom. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate of 41. per cent. on all deposits and calls paid up, after the passing of the Act.

Since the issuing of the former Prospectus, the Provisional Direc tors have considered it desirable to negotiate with the Patentee for his whole right of patents, instead of confining themselves to the United Kingdom and Ireland, as originally proposed ; and the Direc tors have now the satisfaction of announcing to the public that they have agreed for the purchase of the British and Foreign right of Pil brow's Atmospheric Railroad and Canal Propulsion Patents. By this extended arrangement the Directors have obtained the patents upon much more advantageous terms for the proprietary, in consequence of which the amount of call necessary to carry out the object and intention of the Company will be greatly diminished, and the pros pect of immediate return considerably increased. In lieu of Five Pounds, One Pound per share la considered ample to cover the expenses of purchase, and to lay down a line of sufficient length to prove the superiority of Pilbrew's Atmospheric principle. The arrangement of this undertaking, however. necessarily involves many changes ; the amount of capital and the number of shares must be considerably augmented, but the shares will still be continued at the same amount, viz., Ten Pound shares, to meet the wishes of the original applicants. An instalment of One Pound per share will be required on the signing of the deed of settlement. DIRECTORS. The Right lion, the Earl of ESSEX, Chairman. The Right lion. the Earl of Resborough.

The prominent advantages of this system of Atmospheric traction, are, that the continuous valve is dispensed with ; roads are crossed noon a level without interruption of main ; one atmospheric railway can be intersected by another, thus saving bridges, approaches, and leakage ; and it is confidently expected that a stationary engine every ten miles will be sufficient. The system combines extreme simplicity with perfect efficiency, and that obtained with a small comparative expense in working and construction. It is estimated that a saving altogether upon the other plans of Atmospheric Railways (having the continuous valve) will be nearly 3,0001. per mile; twcrmains or lines can, on this plan , be lai d fo r little more than the cost of one, upon the other plans ; and a saving or working in annual expense of two-thirds. Increased safety is insured, also obstruction and destntetion by weather and other sources are placed beyond probability by the mains being buried, &c. The objects of the Company will be to dispose of foreign patents ; to grant licences to Railway and Canal Companies to use the invention, or lay down the works under contracts wit& the different Companies ; and to lay down an experimental line in the neighbour hood of the metropolis, by agreement with an existing company or otherwise. The income derivable from these sources offers considerable advan tages, while the expenses, with the exception of the purchase of the patents, and laying down the experimental line, are obviously small.

(Provisionally registered). Capital, 900,0001., In '36,000 Shares of 251. each.—Deposit, 21. per Share. PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT, The project is intended to form a direct railway communication between Derby and the Midland and Eastern Counties with the Potteries, Liverpool and Ireland. The whole length is about 47 miles. If It be thought expedient, and an arrangement can be made, to run into the proposed Grand Junction Potteries' branch at or near Stoke, the length would be not more than 36 miles. The population between Derby and the Potteries alone, including the Termini, is upwards of 150,000, and the Traffic is of a remune rating character. The proposed line proceeds for nearly the entire distance through the walleye of the Dove, the Teen, and the Blythe, rendering very slight cuttings necessary, and the gradients of an easy description. A single glance at the map will tell the very great savlag of dis tances that will thus be made between the places proposed to be con nected. One-half of the Shares will be reserved to parties locally interested, and the remainder will be allotted to those giving unexceptionable references. Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at 41. per cent. per annum on all deposits and calls from payment until the opening of the line. The Subscribers' agreement will contain powers to the Provisional Committee to run into other railways now or hereafter to be made, and to alter the termini of the proposed line, so that the main object of the scheme be carried out. A preliminary survey is now in progress, and a full prospectus with plans, and the names of the Provisional Committee, will shortly be published. In the meantime, application for further particulars, and for Shares, may be made to Mr. SAMUEL EYRE, Sharebroker, Derby ; and to _ . JOHN BARBER SIMPSON and FREAR / Joint Solicitors.

The intelligence brought by the Indian mail is of considerable interest. The latest news is from Bombay of the lst of April. The chief points of Interest are threefold, the Punjaub, the expe dition under Sir Charles Napier, and the state of the Sawunt Warree and Goa districts. In the Punjaub confusion reigns supreme, and the disorganiza tion of Runjeet Sine's kingdom is going rapidly forward, for there are now several Governments established there. Dhuleep Singh the boy king, with his mother ruling, and her brother as the Mi: nister, governs at Lahore, where the Khalsa, or regular troops, will have everything their own way. Ghoolab Singh has fixed his rule in his mountain fortress of Janroo, and the notorious Akbar Khan' son of Host Mabommed, of Caubul, is preparing to seize Pe shawur, and to make himself master of the Seikh province, to the west of the Indus. There were various efforts made by the Queen-Alother and the Khalsa troops to being about an arrange ment with Ghoolab Singh. The troops, called Khalsa, went towards Janroo to force him into terms, but he by a trick out. manceuvred their leaders. On approaching his fastnesses the Seikh army sent vakeels or agents to confer with him as to the largesse they were to receive; he insisted that deputies from each regiment should attend. They did so, and he, before he beard their propositions, spoke of his services and of those of his family, and contended that the soldiers were not sufficiently paid, and that he, if in power as Minister, would have their pay doubled. The soldiers heard this decision with satisfaction, yet they insisted en having a largesse. He gave five-lace, and the vakeels were going away with that sum, when a party of Ghoolab's own soldiers followed them, murdered the vakeels, and carried back the treasure. This atrocity roused the spirit of the Khalsa; they advanced in great force to attack hint, but he defeated them, and forced them to retire back towards Lahore. This defeat is calculated to produce the most important consequences, for the Seikhs admit that they have found troops equal, if not superior to themselves, in the mountaineers. There was a sort of Convention formed by Ghoolab Singh with the A ff ghan leaders, by which the latter were to attack Peshawur while the former maintained his position in the hills of Janroo. Akbar Khan went from Jellalabad, where he latterly had stationed him self, to see his father at Caubul, and they both, having made ar rangements for paying the arrears of their troops, were to set out in the middle of February, in order to invade the province of Pesha. wur, which has during more than 20 years been subject to the Seikhs. Thus the chances of the Seikh kingdom being speedily dis. organised are very great. In the meantime the British Government is quietly assembling a large army on the banks of the Sutlej, for the alleged purpose of defending its own territories, but to which it is highly probable the young King Dhuleep and his mother will soon have to apply for protection. The Khalsa troops some time ago threatened the boy king and his relations for having exhibited a wish to flee into the British territory; but it is probable when Peshawur shall be taken, as anticipated, by the Affghans—when Cash meer shall be threatened —when Ghoolab Singh shall have established his independence at Janroo, and when they will find themselves disunited and un. able to combat with so many enemies, that their opposition will cease to the entrance of the British army into their territory. The British troops are awaiting a favourable opportunity for marching. _ Theexpedition which Sir Charles Napier led into the territories of the Jakranees, Doomkies, and Boogties, lying in the moun tainous tracts to the westward of Peolajee, has been successful. This enterprising General being determined to introduce good order into the administration of Sinde, and knowing that while the plundering tribes were allowed to subsist in their mountain fast nesses, and to carry on their depredations with impunity, it would be useless to expect that industry and good order would thrive in the neighbouring districts on the banks of the Indlo, resolved to seize the plunderers in their owns dens, and to remove them to other places, where they could apply themselves to the arts of peace and of good neighbourhood. In the month of January he set out with a large force (7,000) for the purpose. In order to make rapid movements, he took care to be encumbered with as little baggage and !usage as possible. The search for the enemy was long and tedious, and the troops suffered from reduced rations and other hardships, but at length, after a month's search, Beejah Khan, the chief leader of the plunderers, and all his fol lowers were found in a strong position on the top of a ridge of hills about 1,000 feet high, to which there was a most difficult in. gress through a narrow defile. The British General took up his station and began firing with mortars. The enemy returned the fire, but fortunately with scarcely any injury. Another means of entrance was discovered, and promply made use of. The Murree chiefs served as negotiators; interviews took place between the General and some of the leaders of the tribes. Some gave themselves up, others resisted; but they were all captured, with the exception of Islain Khan, one of the heads of the Boogties. Their country is to be given over to the honest tribe of the Alur rees, who having already learned the advantages of the British alliance, are disposed to adhere strictly to it. Some of the tribes are to be removed to the districts bordering on the Incins, where they will have lands granted to them for cultivation. The hostility displayed by some of the newspapers towards Sir Charles Napier has caused them to depreciate or to discolour the great amelioration which this successful expedition cannot fail to Produce in Sigrh. hv rlarnnnatratiK.,,.." and peaceable than for the robbers and plunderers. It may there fore be useful to caution the reader in Europe of Indian papers against placing reliance on the erroneous and discoloured state. ments of some of the Indian papers en this subject. Amongst them the Bombay Times takes the lead In rancour, virulence, and iujus. tice towards the illustrious Governor of Sinde. The affairs of Sawunt Warree have assumed a complex aspect, in consequence of the Portuguese settlement of Goa becoming mixed up with the rebellion of the disaffected in those districts. When the energy and skill of the British troops compelled the re. volted chiefs to seek safety by flight they got over the Goa fron tiers. A reference has been made to Europe on the subject of the rights of a neutral flag to protect rebels, whom it does not restrain from continuing their hostility by active measures, and it is ex pected that the Courts of Lisbon and London will soon send out their ultimatum on the subject. As to the conquest of Goa, it can be easily effected at any season of the year, for the troops there are few, badly paid, and unaccustomed to warfare. The settlement of the Southern Mabratta country was going on favourably; the Bombay Government had shown considerable de_ vision in the arrangements adopted, for not only were the rebels punished, but the tyrants who had brought about their rebellion by their oppressive acts were themselves compelled to abandon the districts. . —.....—. The Court.martial for the trial of Lieutenant. Colonel Wallace, of the Madras army, for disobedience of orders, was assembling at the end of March at Belgaum. In the interior of India tranquillity prevails. The Governor. •eneral, Sir Henry Hardinge, remains at Calcutta, engaged in forwarding measures for the improvement of the country. The news from China comes down to the 10th of February ; it is net remarkable. There was a partial stagnation in business, arising from the holydays of the Chinese new year. One of the good results of the establishment of steam communi. cation between Calcutta and Singapore is the rapidity of intelli. gence. We have letters and papers from Singapore to the 6th of March. The principal news relates to the loss of the fine ship Inglis, belonging to Bombay, which got on shore on the 10th of January, near Anjeer. Every effort was made to save the ship and cargo; about a quarter of the cotton on board was saved. The captain (Isaacson) died some days after at Batavia, of anxiety and fatigue. The Singapore Free Press of the 6th of March gives an ac count of the loss of the Mellish some months back, and also of tha of the Allowie, an Arab vessel. The chief fact of interest connected with Bombay relates to the manner in which the European mails of the *2oth of January and 7th of February arrived there. The former arrived by way of Ma. dras on the 10th of March, because the Bombay Government re fused to give any advantage to a steamer which offered to wait at Pointe de Galle for the letters. The latter mail (February 7) was delayed in the Red Sea, in consequence of au accident to the Bere. nice steamer, and it did not reach Bombay until the :14th March. If the Hon. Company were to keep a Bombay steamer at Aden, in order to take on the mails and passengers from Aden to Bombay, the loss would eventually be nothing, and the advantage would be that the correspondeßce between the Board of Control and the Governor-General would be hastened by fifteen days every month. In a postscript our correspondent mentions the fact that expresses had arrived at Bombay, announcing the capture by the Goa autho rities of Phonde Sawunt, the chief of the Sawunt Warree rebels, together with several of his adherents. He was wandering through the Goa jungles when taken. Their wives and families had pre viously been taken and kept in custody in a large fortification near the powder-works at New Goa. The Sawunt Wartee refugees were confined in the fortress or convent of Reyes Magos, to the north of the Pangim river. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS: CIIIINA, JAN, 31. IMPORTS.

Freights— For London and Liverpool, 3". 10s. BOMBAY, APRIL 1. (From the Overland Price Current of the Chamber of Commerce.) The occurrence of the Hooly holidays during the past month has cut off a considerable portion of the time usually available for commercial operations, and the business transacted during the re mainder has been, generally speaking, of a limited and unim portant character, while prices have in some instances suffered from further depression. Owing to the scarcity of money the banks' rates of discount upon private bills have been raised to 6 i)or cent., and this has of course tended still more to embarrass our general trade. Metals—Thebusiness done in Metals since our last has been extremely small, and of the few transactions that have had effbct the major part appear to have taken place in the beginning or middle of the month ; latterly scarcely anything has been doing. We quote Sheeting and Braziers' Copper both somewhat higher than before, Of the first a sale was made about a fortnight since AGt t~-~ at rs. 50 13 per cwt., but rs. 511 has thin the last few dayil been refused for the article. !reale as been sold at re. 53, an advance of r. 1 per cwt. upon revious prices. Sales of Tile have o 561, and the latter rate could now be easily obtained were holders willing to sell. Copper Nails are a trifle lower than last month. In Iron we have few changes oe consequence to notice. No transactions have been reported in Swedish Bar; but prices have a slight upward tendency, and we now quote them at 45 to 46 rs per candy. For British Bar 24 rs. have been declined since the arrival of the mail, and as the quart. tity for which the offer was made was a large one, we set our quo. tation at this rate. Sales of Nail rod were made early in this month 1 at 44 rs. for round, and 30; for square, and the latter has been subsequently disposed of at 31 rs. Sheet and Hoop both exhibit a trifling decline; but of the former only have we any trans actions to report. Steel in tubs has been sold at 11 ra., and In faggots at l 2 rs. per cwt. Lead, Spelter, and Tin plates are d of sale. Quicksilver is rather higher, having been disposed of at 58 rs. per maund. Cotton Manufactures—The finer sorts of Grey Shirtings and 40-inch), Madapollams, and Jacconets, have continued to maintain the prices current for them at the date of our last publics tion—the first-named fabrics, indeed, of good quality, may be quoted about two aortas per piece higher. The low and middling kinds of these goods have beets without inquiry, and some forced sales have been made at a considerable reduction Oil previous low prices. Grey and white Jacconets of inferior sorts have in parti cular been sold at unprecedentedly low rates. All varieties of bleached goods have continued in a very depressed state. Fur prints, with the exception of fancy styles for furniture, there has been no demand whatever, and Turkey red Cloths, both plain and twilled, have been unsaleable save at reduced price:. Mulls, fancy Cambrics, Muslins, Handkerchiefs, arc., have been all equally dull and without inquiry. There seems now to be little probability of any general improvement during the present season, and unless the supplies from home be very considerably diminished, the prospects of our import trade can hardly be expected to become more fa vourable. Yarns—There have been few transactions either in Mule or Water Twist; but prices have in some instances slightly advanced, and the market for all the numbers is firm. In Coloured Twist, the only transaction of which we have been apprised is a sale of 2,8001b5. Rod, Nos. 16 to 50, at annas 14 per lb. Woollens—ln the quotations for these we have no change to notice. The market continues exceedingly dull, and sales can only be made at low and unremunerating rates. Marine Stores—The articles under this head have been, with few exceptions, in extremely limited demand since our fact. Swedish and Coal Tar are a little higher in price than before, bur Pitch has declined to rs. 3i per barrel, and even at this low rate is difficult of sale. Spirits of Turpentine have somewhat advanced in value. We hear of sales of 101 barrels of Tar at es. 61 0 per barrel, and 8001bs. Sail Twine at 1 annas per flo. Beer—The only transactions we have to report are the follow. ing : 50 hhds. Allsopp's at Rs. 50 per hhi. 5 „ J. Martin's at 22. „ In the absence of the new brew, the business done has been very limited. Besides Allsopp's there are others in the market, but the rates offered for them by dealers are so low that importers decline selling. Of Bass's Beer the market hal for some time past been quite bare. Spirits—We hear of no sales, and prices remain muds as before. Red Lead—A supply of this article having arrived, 100 cwt. has been disposed of at ra. 15 per cwt. White Lead is ra. 2 per cwt. lower than last month. Safton—ls unaltered in value.

Cotton—Purchasers of the new crop have not as yet been very large, though prices have slightly declined since our last. 2,000 bales of Broach, Dollera, and Gogo have, we hear, been purchased within the last few days at rs. 88 per candy for the former, and rs. 78i for the latter. And subsequently 2,500 bales have bees► bought at rs. 17 per candy. Coffee—Some Mocha has arrived, and the price is quoted at re. 9 per maund. Malabar has declined about half a rupee. Elephants' Teeth —There are none now in the market, and our quotations for them are wholly nominal. Hemp—Has receded in value from rs. 3 to 6 per candy on the different varieties. Wool—We repeat our previous quotations for all varieties. We have heard of no transactions. FREIGHTS. The comparative scarcity of disengaged tonnage has occasioned a rise in the rate of freight to Great Eritain, which may now be quoted at 31. 15s. per ton, both for London and Liverpool. The engagements, however, have not been numerous, the prices of pro duce remaining too high to allow of extensive shipments, particu larly at an increased rate. There is nothing doing in freight to the Clyde. The China rate is rs. 151 to 16 per candy. MONEY MARKET. In consequence of the demand for money at this season, all de scriptions of securities have fallen about one per cent. from the quotations of last month. EXCHAYGE. The rate of exchange on London at six mouths, which at the date of our last issue was 1.9 'id. to I.lod. per rupee, rose soon after the departure of the mail to 1.10 !i, and subsequently to 1.104 to 1-14 at which latter rate it has continued up to the present date. Drafts at 30 days may be quoted at 1.9'1. Exchange on Calcutta at 60 days' sight is quoted at re. 98, and on China also at 60days at ra. 218 per 100 dollars. (From the Calcutta Overland Star, March 20.) CALCUTTA, MARCH 19. The Money Market is nearly as before, but there has been lately more demand for accommodation, and more tightness is experienced in respect to operations generally ; bazaar rates of in terest and discount are slightly higher, and it is apprehended that the next Government Opium sale, to be held on the 21st proximo, may make the market more difficult, and probably help to lift the rates for transactions ; as yet the quotations of the hanks are with out alteration front those in our issue of the 7th be4ent ; remit. tanees in specie by Government up country are at presex tat about the rate of 5,00,000 rupees per week, supposed to be in trovision for operations on the frontiers. This helps to the change i tithe position of the market. Government Loans—Transactions in these investments are •t present limited, in consequence of their reduced value in the market, to which holders are unwilling to submit ; but, unlexo the outward remittances by the mail be more than of late, and the receipts of bullion and specie from China considerable, the value of these securities must give way to pressure on the money market. Bank Shares —Excepting shares of the Union, which have declined 15rs. per share since our issue of the 7th inst., these operations may, however, tend to support it. The Bank of Western India has declared a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum on the operations of the last half-year. Exchange Market—As anticipated, the exchange has advanced; the bulk of transactions are still, however, at Is. 103 d. to Is. 100. but some operations have obtained at Is. 10. Id. per Co.'s rupee Jar bills at 10 months' date; it is evident that the exchange is kept down only by the Government treasury being open for bills at ls. 10d. for Co.'s rupee. The following are current, with upward tendency : Treasury Bills, at 30 days' sight, according to amount, at Is. 9d. to Is. 91d. per Co.'s rupee.

Private drafts against - shipments, at 6 months' sight to 10 months' date at Is. 101 d. to 16.10 id. per Co.'s rupee. Agency on London correspondents at 30 days to six months' sight, according to amount, at Is. 94d. to Is. 101 d. per Co.'s rupee. Agency drafts for remittances at:6 months' sight, (according to the report of the Chamber of Commerce in the past week, have averaged Is. 101 d. per Co.'s rupee. Government advances against shipments to London or Liverpool, on bills at 6 months' sight, reduced to Is. 10d. per Co.'s rupee. FREIGHTS.—Tonnage is scarce, and there is scarcely any avail able for dead weight. Arrivals of late have been very insuteieut to the demand. Our present quotations show advances of about ss. per ton on the rates of the 7th instant, and have still ass ap ward tendency. To London :-51. ss. to Si. 10s. Si. 51 To Liverpool :-41. Mt. to MADRAS. We give a prominent place to the subjoined notification by the Madras Government " Fort St. George, Feb. 2G, 1545.
