Morning .. 3 minutes after 1 1 Evening .. 24 minutes after 1 filo/ruing 2rAnt LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1845. The negotiations which have been entered into by the proprietaries of two of the noblest bridges in Europe—the one, perhaps, unmatched in point of combined architectural beauty and soundness of construction, the other unrivalled as a specimen of metal casting and workmanship, and the spans of its three gigantic arches (a centre one of 240 yards, and two side arches of 210 yards each)—are among the most remarkable results of the present public patronage of railway undertakings. The directors of two railway companies, pro jected on a magnificent scale, are proposing to purchase these bridges, with the double purpose of respectively secaring a terminus to their lines at the most cen tral 'and important points of the metropolis, and of continuing the Lond on p or ti on o f th e i r ra il roa d s unbroken and uninterrupted over the mighty stream already traversed by the grand and important structures in question. The sale of the Hringerford Suspension -bridge, another structure well entitled to occupy the highest rank in the class of engineer ing bridges to which it belongs, has been, we may say, just completed. In each of these three cases the consideration to be paid for the conversion of the structure to railway uses, appears to be of a very liberal kind. For the youngest, in point of age, the best bargain, in point of money price, has, perhaps, been accomplished. But it must be remembered that the Hungerford-bridge had already attracted a " cus tom" far exceeding the most sanguine anticipation of its sub scribers. It was, and is, realising returns upon the capital vested in its elevation and completion that in a very few years, indeed, would have amply paid the whole principal of the sums expended upon it. The other two concerns were at once among the most majestic ornaments of our metropolis, and the most shameful reflections on the supineness of our public spirit and the timid niggardliness of the Government, both of which would hare allowed them to fall into decay, simply because, having been in their origin private under takings, it was not considered expedient to mitigate the severe losses which they lied entailed on the spirited individuals whose enterprise had produced them, by any such grant of th . e national funds, as the national reputation they had • achieved for ui in art seemed so well to merit. The lucky accident of their being thus eminently available to one of the most important objects ofgreat rail way speculations connected immediately with London as a terminus, having thus realised for their proprietaries a valuable, though final compensation, • we are anxious that the public interests should have all the benefit of the opportunity —rare as it is—of consulting thein, which railway directors will now posses, in dealing with these remarkable acquisitions. No foreigner, who ever contemplated TELFORD'S SIR - pendous SOnt'nwark-bridge, or RENNIE'S glorious production of Waterloo-bridge, can have turned to the view of the miserable localities which they immediately connect eitheron side of the river without a feeling of astonishment at the disparity between links so superb, and the chaine of motley or dingy quarters which they unite. It ie true, that on the Strand side, opposite Wellington-street, great improvements have been of late effected. On the Surrey side, from the Feathers to the Victoria Theatre, and . thence to the Obelisk or the School for the Indigent Blind, • to how sordid a locale is this sumptuous Waterloo-bridge an aditus. Then what a miserable and wretched suburb does one enter, from the massive granite pavement, and th e noble superstructure raised on those iron arches of the Southwark-bridge ! After such views of the river—such views of the colonies on its banks are fibs*- . lutely humiliating. We do hope that, bearing in mind these unseemly anomalies and painful contrasts, the Railway Directors which have acquired the property of these bridges will not fail so to arrange their new works, and to construct their new termini, as to afford as noble entrances and exits from these bridges. Nothing will be more easy than, with but one half the liberal outlay they have shown on CO many analogous occasions, to create, on this, new architectural vistas of an interest amid magnificence hitherto unachieved in the first ' capital of Europe. Care should be taken, we further yen .. ture to suggest, so to manage and adapt the preliminary designs as to keep them susceptible of ready and orna `• mental combination with the long-projected designs of - Sir FREDERICK TRENCH and others, for the embankment, • new quayage, and public walks, contemplated to be carried along the north bank of the Thames from the Custom-house to the new Houses of Parliament. We perceive that among the prominent parties to these negotiations there is a gentle man as eminent for his spirit and munificence as for his great wealth and enlightened enterprise. At the hands of so ;vac . tied as well as enlightened a man as Sir L. GOLDSMID, we heartily trust some proposition of this kind will not fail to receive all necessary encourgement. We repeat that here is a noble opportunity for embellishing the metropolis, such as has not offered since the great-fire of 1e66; and for 200 years to' come may not offer again, under equally advautageous cumstances. We earnestly implore those who have the power to improve it that it may not be lost. The generous conduct of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY to wards the unfortunate refugees who had taken shelter in his dominions after the failure of the political rising at Rimin, must excite the warmest approbation in every country. There may he exceptions, we admit, and even in free Eng land, for we have journals representing all shades of political opinions, even those that have been extinct among the peo. ple and their rulers for two centuries, and which flourished in their vigour at Court when JAMES the FIRST was king and which brought his son to the scaffold. It appears that the GRAND DUKE, from first to last in this affair, displayed the same liberal Ind humane conduct. The Tuscan Government, it is well known, had allowed about a hundred of the refugees to pass un molested through the country, and the King of SARDINIA, animated by the same feelings, allowed them to embark at Genoa. Seven of the leaders, however, were (Maine(' in the fort of Belvidere, at Florence, and of these two were the Counts RAFAELLO PASS and FERNANDO VITELLONI ; the other five were also men of some note in the Legations. They were detained on the representations of the POPE'S Nuncio at Florence, who represented the serious consequences of allowing these young men, enemies of established govern ments, to escape with impunity, and the encouragement which his Highness would give to mat-contents in his own dominions. But all the priest's remonstrances were in vain, the friends of liberty were allowed to retire to France, and the strongest reproof was thus given to the Cabinet of His HOLINESS, which appears to be the most despotic of all the instruments of government existing in absolute monarchies. Themo tives which must have led to such conduct form, however, th e more cheering parts of the prospect. Tuscany is go verned as a fief of Austria, the GRAND DUKE is Viceroy, and the policy here displayed may be regarded as that of PRINCE 31ErrEns, - tut, whose prejudices have been greatly assuaged by experience, and by the progress of constitutional govern ments. Revolutions and Parliamentary reform he begins to see are not such dangerous movements after all, for France is now the most peaceable country in Europe, and a Tory Government can reign as well with a reformed Parliament as under the old rotten-borough system. These repeated attempts in Romagna to obtain redress of grievances cause un easiness to Austria for the peace and security of her Italian dominions, and it is therefore her policy to induce the Porn to place his institutions in a state which will afford no grounds for fresh insurrections. But force, or remonstrances equal to force, must be resorted to before the Holy Father will yield. It is admitted on all hands that the Government of the Church is the very worst in Europe, that the Cardinals are a bigoted and generally a merciless race, anti that they still dream of the universal dominion of the Catholic faith, and the return of those glorious days of Papal power, when kings held the stirrups to the POPE, in terdicts dissolved the allegiance of subjects, and the whole New World was claimed as the patrimony of ST. PETER. We believe priests are incapable even of the slightest reform, and for that reason, all countries where their influence pre vails are badly governed. It is hardly necessary to cite Spain and Rome as proofs. Accounts from Brussels have been received this morning of the date of Tuesday, Nov. 11. On that afternoon the Cham bers were opened with the usual solemnity by the KING in person. His M.tjssry's speech, as given in the Herald, is a very lengthy document, and almost as unin teresting as it is long. It states that commercial treaties have been concluded with the United States and with China. His MAJESTY describes the general situation of commerce and industry as satisfactory. With respect to the measures adopted to guard against famine, the KING says : " The agricultural interest continues to be the object of the constant attention of the Government. The corn harvest bas been on the whole a good one, and although one of the most valuable articles of consumption for the poorer classes has been in a great part destroyed, the resolutions which you have adopted during your extraordinary session have already led to favourable results. They will alleviate the effects of the visitation, and, moreover, afford the means of providing for the wants of the operative classes, by encouraging useful public works." The following passage, relating to the formation of railways, canals, and roads, will be read with interest by the ca pitalist " Ever since the national railways have reached the French and German frontiers the conveyance of goods and passengers, and the amount of the receipts, have rapidly and unceasingly progressed. The results obtained this year have surpassed my expectation. Your last session was distinguished towards its close by the vote of several projects of railways and canals. The favourable reception given to fo. reign capitalists has led to many demands for the concession of lines. Some of those demands, after being examined, will be submitted to your deliberation. In order to increase the means of affording employment during the winter, the formation of ordinary and useful roads will be zealously undertaken." An amendment of the law on sugar is announced, and al though existing circumstances render some increase of ex penditure necessary, the KING expressly d(clares that the equilibrium; between the revenue and the outlay of the State will be maintained, without requiring any new sacri fice on the part of the tax-paying public. The Madrid journals of the 4th contain a variety of ru mours about the army and the forthcoming municipal elec tions, but no intelligence of the slightest interest. The capital remains perfectly tranquil ; and, indeed, throughout the province nothing like opposition to the existing Govern ment is manifested. Party rancour appears to be decreasing; and, according to a journal published in the south of France, most of the Carlist refugees will be allowed to return. " The Queen of SPAIN," says the Memorial Bourdelais, " has issued a decree, dated October 28, authorising the consuls to deliver passports to all officers, non-commissioned officers, and other persons of Don CARLOS'S party now in France, permitting them to return to Spain, on condition that they take the oath of fidelity to the monarchical institutions at present governing the kingdom." Another account states that this measure does not extend to any Carlist officer above the rank of corporal. The Bourse was closed on the 4th. The Stock and Share market at the Paris Bourse on Mon lay exhibited a mere cheering and firm appearance than it had done for some days. Shortly after the commencement of business the price of funds and railway shares showed an upward tendency, owing to more favourabld advices from London. About half-past two the firing of the guns of the Invalides gave rise to a report that Ann-EL-KADEE had been taken, and this gave an impulse to the market, which continued till the close, when it was ascertained that the guns had been fired for the accouchement of the Duchess D'Aummx, who had been delivered of a son. At the close the Three per Cents. were 10c., and the Fives 50c. higher than on Saturday, and in all the principal railways there had been considerable improve ment. Parties, therefore, began to hope that the worst was known. The leading articles in the Paris journals require little notice. The Epoque, a Government journal, in refer ring to the visit of M. TIIIERS to London, and the reception he met with, says, " the object of the ex-Minister's visit was a reconciliation with Lord PALMERSTON, and an alliance which he thought might be useful to him." In another article this journal replies to an article in the Constitut;onnel of Sunday, in which high praises are bestowed on the Duke of WELLINGTON at the expense of Marshal SOULT. This sud den admiration of the British General is attributed to the pleasure felt at the kind reception given in London to M. TIMERS, the patron of that journal. The changed tone of that paper, with regard to England and Englishmen, is certainly remarkable, and we are charitably inclined to im pute it t 3 the best motives. The article to which the Govern ment paper refers is curious, and we, therefore, give it as a rare instance of any French writer passing an eulogium on the victor of Waterloo. " People have not failed," says that journal, "to compare the situation in which M. SOULT is placed, by the nomination of M. ST. YON as War Minister, with the position held by the Duke of WELLINGTON in the English Cabinet, and this parallel will, no doubt, continue to furnish a theme for the factindity of the Ministerial journals. The less correct it is, the more they will persist in reproducing it. Let us once and for all render justice to this impossible juxta-position. The Duke of WEL LINGTON is a man of rare good sense, and of real poli tical capacity. Nobody, who has perused the volumi nous and remarkable correspondence of the Noble Duke, will dispute his talents as a statesman. The Duke of WEL. LINGTON, moreover, possesses the prestige of success, an im mense popularity, and the sort of adoration with which he is surrounded by the high aristocracy and the people atlarg.e. He is not only an important, but a necessary, member of tiae Cabinet ; fur be represents in it the High Church party a: nd the great landed interest, the genuine Tories, who, had it nut been for their extreme deference to him, would, perhal )s, have broken a long time ago with Sir R. PEEL, whom th ey have sought to set aside. It is a dissension between the Duke of WELLINGTON and Sir R. PEEL that at present pr co longs the crisis caused in England by the corn-law que ;tic) n, and the retirement of the Duke, as well as that of -iir R. PEEL, would at once dissolve the Ministry. The Duke of WELLINGTON therefore holds, and with good title, an impor tant post in the English Cabinet ; and yet, notwithstan ding his fame, his popularity, his exalted station, and the n , Ices sity of his presence, he is not, even nominally, the head of ' the Administration. Sir R. PEEL is not only the directing n- Lum ber of the Cabinet, but he also enjoys the title of Prime Mi nister—he is above the Duke of WELLINGTON! How then can any parallel be established between the Duke of 1 VEI LINGTON and Marshal Souur ? The real head of the C a binet in France would be M. GurzoT. Sir R. PEEL hus t he title and the reality at one and the same time. Why it net in Paris as in London ? It is not the wish that is vex nt ing, but the courage. M. Gmzur dares not face his unpopu larity, or he cannot impose it upon his colleagues. Th e tis the whole secret of the pretended importance of the shal ; he holds a place which nobody can fill." The same journal states that the Chinese mandari n who concluded the commercial treaty with M. LAGRENE, hi 3 been made a member of the Legion of Honour. A letter has be Qn ad dressed by a great number of the Bordeaux merchants to the Chamber of that town, which contains much truth. They complain of the new regulations in Russia respeetj r , the tonnage dues on French vessel s , w hi c h they say will b e .'very injurious to French commerce, and add that the t mriff of France is the cause of these rigorous measures, and that it places France in a permanent state of commercial i motility with foreign countries. "Whilst the commercial movement between Ausi via and the states of the German Customs Union," says a Vienna letter, " amounted to 68 millions of florins during th e last four' yeari,. that of Austria with Poland and Russie i n the same peried,lncluding the very active trade with th ,e repub. . liC of Crac,9o4 waB waly 10 c944p;cnist movement of Austria with Turkey amounted in these four years to 21 millions. It is to the rigourous prohibitory sys tem of Russia that we must attribute the small amount of trade between that country and Austria:' The new tariff of the Zollverein, as settled at the Con ference held at Carlsruhe, and which is to replace the old one from and after the Ist January next, was published on the 6th inst., and contains the following alterations : " Articles added to the list of those which are exempted from all duty in or out, viz.:—Living plants, in pots or boxes; flax, steeped or not, in the stalk or bundles ; hay, seeds, wool, menus factured from refuse. The entrance duties are increased upon the following articles, viz. :—Whalebone not split into small strips, and whieh paid an entrance duty of 17 florins 30 kreut zers per quintal. has hitherto been subjeeted to a duty of 521! kr. Henceforth none but wrought whalebone will have to pay the abovementioned duty ; on the other hand stripped whalebone will pay an entrance duty of sfl. 15kr., and cut whalabone 1711. 30kr. the quintal. Articles of hart:ware, which now pay an entrance duty of 871 30kr. a quintal, have added to them other articles of finer hardware and half metals when connected with alabaster, ivory, enamel, caral, lava, mother.of.pearl, shell, fine stones, imita tion jewels, and other articles, which have hitherto paid an en. trance-duty of 17fl. 30kr. The same incrcaied duty is imposed on pins and needles, waxen figures, and false pearls. The entrance duty of 14fl. a quintal, hitherto levied on leaven compressed, will be taken for all kinds of leaven, with the exception of yeast and lees of wine, so that in particular prepared liquid leavens which have hitherto paid an entrance duty of 521kr., will hereafter pay that of 14fl. The entrance duties on roasted coffees have been carried from 1111. 22 1 /OEr. up to 1911. 15kr. The Entrance duties Cu sweatmeats and all kinds of confectionary, fixed at 191 15kr. a quintal, will in future be also levied upon vegetables and other articles of consumption for the table, and which are preserved fresh by any artificial proeess, as well as upon all refined meats. The entrance duties upon gilt or silvered papers, and upon papers with patterns wrought in gold or silver, are in creased from 88. 45kr. to 1711. 30kr. a quintal. Ribbons of half silk, which now pay an entrance duty of 96f1. 15kr. a quintal, will henceforth pay 19211. 30 kr., being the same as that put upon silk goods in general. The mast important of the new duties are those put upon woollen goods. Tissues made of pure wool, or other materials except silk, as printed goods of every description not fulled, goods if they are figured, tissues em. broidered or sprigged, shawls with borders sewn on to them, and with patterns, articles of gold, silver, and other laces, and buttons and embroidery which are not connected with works in iron, glass, wood, leather, brass, or steel, will pay 87fl. 30kr. the quintal; cloths and other woollen stuffs lulled, felt not printed, hosiery, and all other goods not fulled and without patterns, are to pay 521 30kr. a quintal; carpets 351 the quintal. Reductions of, or total ex. emptions from, duty, are grunted to several raw materials imported for consumption in the countries of the ZrAlverein. Thus sul phur, which has hitherio paid a duty of kr. a quintal, aloes and moss, which have paid 52i kr., gall-nuts, turmeric, and sumach, which have paid 171, kr., have these entrance ditties suppressed, and the existing export duties are increased. The entrance duties upon raw caoutchouc, ar.d every species of resin, are reduced from 52i kr. to 17i kr. the quintal. A very Important concession has been made in the transit of merchandise through the south-western countries of the Zoliverein, so that, for all those on the left bank of the Oder, the general transit duties are reduced from 521 kr. to 35 kr. the quintal. At the same time, all the special duties upon wool and cotton, and woollen and cotton and other tisanes, are suppressed." A Berlin letter of the ist says :—" The new tariff of the Ger. man Customs' Union makes no change in the duties in the different kinds of thread, but the Prussian Government states that the question of change is merely postponed.",j According to a letter from Rome of the 30th nit., the Emperor NICHOLAS will arrive thither on the 18th or 19th of the present month, and return to his dominions by Flo rence. On the 31st of October the Grand Duchess of Tus- CANY was delivered of a Princess. The Funds rose on the Paris Bourse in consequence of the firmness of the London market on Saturday.

It will be visible in London during the whole period, and should the weather prove favourable, the sight will be ex tremely interesting. According to some almanacs it begins at 9h. 57m., and ends at 311. 41m. on Friday morning, the middle being about half-an-hour past midnight. To persons however viewing it with the naked eye the contact will not be observed till about eleven o'clock, and the eclipse appa rently terminate at half-past two. Nine-tenths of the moon's surface will be immersed in the earth's shadow, or reckoning the diameter of the moon 1, the portion eclipsed is equal to 0919. NEW SHERIFFS. The Lord Chancellor, accompanied by the Chief Judges of the Courts of Queen's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer, Sir James Graham, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Earl of Lincoln, the Queen's Remembrancer, and Mr. Buller, Clerk of the Privy Council, attended at the Court of Ex chequer yesterday, and settled the lists of Sheriffs to be submitted to her Majesty for the ensuing year. THE LORD RECTORSHIP OF THE UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW AND THE FREE CHURCH. We regret to learn that a section of the Free Church party in this city have determined to oppose the re-election of Mr. Rutherford as Lord Rector of the University for the en suing year. Mr. Rutherford was, at the last election, the Free eliurch candidate ; and it was by the union of Free Churchmen with tha Liberal party generally that he was elected by so triumphant a majority over the Earl of Eglinton, a man of moderate Conservative politics, and personally more popular than any nobleman in Scotland. Remembering these things, we have been led to inquire what cause of offence Mr. Rutherford has given, that any party in the University should wish to depart from the customary routine of re-election, and cast a stigma on the public character of the man of their own choice. We have learned with surprise that his vote on the Maynooth question has been the sole reason, and that to make their own bigotry more apparent and shameful, this party, Liberals as they pretend to be, have resolved to propose a high Tory for the office, viz., Mr. Campbell, of Monzie, simply because he is opposed to the Maynooth grant. We have been told that it is only a small and uninfluential section of the sup porters of Mr. Rutherford at the last election who have adopted this course, and we would fain believe, for the honour of our ancient University, that in this respect our information is well founded. The ungraciousness of such an act towards a man who has borne his honours so meekly, and performed his duties so satisfactorily as Mr. Rutherfurd, is apparent enough to everybody—even to those few who may have re solved to oppose him ; but its injustice and impolicy are even more striking. Surely we have had enoug h, an d more t h an enough, of Maynooth. Surely we have sufficiently insulted the conscientious belief of millions f our fellow-subjects, during the recent discussions in Parliament, without bring ing forward the question on every public occasion. Were the question not settled, never more to be unsettled, except by the establishment of pure Voluntaryism —the object of such a proceeding would be real and comprehensible. But to punish Mr. Rutherford now for his vote would be a manifestation of sheer spite, which would do infinite dis credit to the party that indulged it. We trust that all the true friends of the Free Church—all the more sensible, liberal, and tolerant members of that great, and, in many respects, admirable body, will prevent the scandal (that these ultra bigots would draw down upon them, by uniting cordially in support of the man, whom last year they delighted to honour; and who has done nothing in the interval that can justify to the mind of any person of se nse an d r i g h t f eel i ng, the with drawaA of their confidence. If justice does not counsel this cour 4 e of proceeding, policy will afford them an argument. Le,i them remember that, even should the whole Free Church 'party unite, they could not carry the election of Mr. Camp bell of Monzie. If a contest between him and Mr. Ruther ford were unfortunately to arise, Lord Eglinton would be brought forward, and carried triumphantly —not because he is more popular in the University than he was last year—but because of the unwise dissensions of those who ought to have remained united. We do, therefore, trust that the small sec tion we have alluded to will take warning in time. If they will rake up the unhappy question of Maynooth, let them wait till next year, when Mr. Rutherfurd's term of office will expire; and they can then do so upon a vantage gro un d, which they have not now, and without incurring the odium of so much uncharitableness as will cling to them, if they persist in their present intention.— Glasgow Argus. THE DOWAGER MARCHIONESS OF BREADALBANE. —By the will of this distinguished lady, her son, the present Marquis of Breadalbane, has acquired a large addition to his fortune. Her Ladyship's will was recorded in Scotland on the 6th ult., and has just been proved in England by his Lord ship, the sole executor; the personal estate in England is sworn under 120,0001. Her Ladyship has bequeathed a legacy of 10,0001. to the Earl of Lauderdale, in testimony of her sense of the valuable services which his Lordship had ren dered to the Breadalbane family. With the exception of such legacy, her Ladyship has left the whole of her estate to her son, the present Marquis, absolutely. The will was made in Scotland, in the year 1843.—Scotch paper.

It is satisfactory to find that tho great project of an exten sive cultivation of the tea plant in the more northern part of tte East Indies is likely to be most successfully carried out. In the Report of the Directors of the Assam Company, made yesterday at a special meeting of the Proprietors, it was an nounced that the crop of this year will be very nearly 188,0001bs. But for the drought that has prevailed in Assam the yield would have been much more consider able, and fully up to the estimate made two or three years since. It is of importance, too, as establishing the fact that good teas can be produced in Assam, to state that some hundreds of chests have been taken freely by the trade at from 2s. 6d. to 3s. per lb. ex. duty. The Directors have declared a dividend of 108. per share, after reserving sufficient assets - to pay all the cost of production of 1846, home expencea, and leaving a considerable surplus. The time may not be far distant when the people of the United Kingdom may become independent of China, that is for supplies of this article of consumption. The report to the special meeting held yesterday will be found in another part of The Sun. The New Tariff is producing some rare imports.

GREAT WESTERN •AND FALMOUTH JUNCTION. EXETER, MONDAY AFTERNooar.—A meeting of the Great Western and Falmouth Junction Company was held to-day at the Old London Hotel, in this city, for the purpose of receiving the engineer's report of the survey of the line, and other business. At eleven o'clock the attendance was both numerous and respectable. Mr. JAMES GOLDSWORTHY, having been unanimously called to the chair, commenced the procedings by at once calling on the engineer of the Company, Mr. George Han , son Julian, to read his report, which h e did as follows : " Having been directed to make a survey for a line of rail way from Crediton to Falmouth, keeping as near the princi pal towns on the route as may be practicable, I have the sa tisfaction to report that a line has been laid down, which for gradients and general engineering qualities cannot be sur passed. The Committee will remember that what is called the central line was long since surveyed, and it was my intention to hava adopted it, with such variations only as might be found necessary to obviate the formidable objections which had been made by the Board of Trade. In proceeding to du so I discovered a very superior line was obtainable, in a direction which appears to have been hitherto entirely overlooked. The line I have adopted leaves the station of the Crediton and Exeter Railway at Crediton, thence pro ceeds by the valley of the Yco to - Colebroke, thence by Bow and North Tawton to the lowest point of the ridge at Sampford nioor,_ thence along the valleys of the Lew and Carey rivers to Launceston. Arriving at Launceston in the manner described, the line passes along the valley, close to the west side of the town, and the station will be within a few chains of the market-place and the principal hotel near the centre of the town. Upon making exploring sur • vet's between Launceston and Bodmin, it became obvious •to me that the lowest attainable summit between those towns was at Doz Mare; I therefore decided on taking a survey of the country in that direction. From Launceston the line runs by South Petherwin and. Trebartha to the summit of the Doz Mare, from--which it immediately de scends to Warleggan, along the Cardenham valley to the south, and close to the county town of Bodmin. The chief difficulties and heavy works of the late central line, which were so strongly condemned by the Board of Trade, were encountered in the district of country between Launceston and Bodmin. I can safely assert that through this district the line I have described will be constructed at much less pense; with far better gradients, and across a summit of 130 feet lower than the old central ine. From Bodmip the line continues near to the Tretoil and Lanivet Consols Mine, and the town of Lostwithiel, to the valley of the Luxulian waters, along which it passes for three miles to the centre of the large village of Roche. Crossing the lowest part of the ridge at Roche, with a gradient of about 1 in 200, the line emerges into the valley of the river Fill, along which it runs within a short distance of the towns of Grampound, Tregony, Probus, diverging therefrom to Ladock on to Truro, where there would be a station adjoining the town. From Truro the line will pass near Killion, across the Carnon streanf, along the valley to Burnt House, close to the borough town of Penryn, and terminating near Killegrow-street, Falmouth, with a branch for heavy traffic to the water's edge, near Green Bank. The whole of the line thus de scribed has been most carefully and thoroughly surveyed, and will be about four miles shorter than any line yet pro jected from Exeter direct to Falmouth, and about twenty four miles shorter tnan the late coast line. Our active sur veyors, a large and efficient stair of whom have been employed for six weeks past in making the surveys, have engaged to complete their work before the 20th instant, and from the forward state of their survey and plans, I have no doubt they will be able easily to fulfil their undertaking, thus ensuring to the company the ability to comply with the Standing Orders of Parliament. "I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, "G. 11. JULIAN." Mr. JOAN STOODEN wished to ask the engineer in what direction this line would proceed, taking it in reference to the late central line, and showing the difference of the summits, gradients, Sic. The iLNIGINEER replied, that the late line passed from Launceston, s :d in its progress towards Bodmin crossed the range of hills pro::eeding west from Launceston. It had a tunnel at Piper's Pool, , - . 4h the heavy gradient of one in eighty, which began to rise a: that place; this gradient extends for several miles. Here IL was proposed a sort of table proposed to have a tunu.l of 700 yards in length, and there :.. land ex tending for about four miles, the descen: from which would be by a gradient of one in eighty towards 2. lo chnin, passing the turnpike-road at Ponsconcer. The aunOit level, however, which he (Mr. Julian) had taken, was at Doz Mare Pool, where he rose to the summit and imme diately fell. He had no table-land to contend with, because he got into the leading valleys which took him with the easiest possible gradients which streams of the character he had alluded to could do in a direct line towards Bodmin; and the stream from Tretoil, which he had taken to arrive at his summit level, was also a leading stream. Here he got a level along the valley for three miles in extent, with out any cutting, and in which it was only requisite to turn up the land for the purpose of laying down the rails. It was at this point that they had to overcome what had hitherto Leen considered the most difficult part of the country, viz, the cutting through the Bodmin moors. Mr. HARVEY—You are speaking of the difficulties of the old Cornwall and Central Devon scheme. The ENGINEER said he was so, and he felt satisfied that he bad chosen the lowest possible summit, and that the line which he had laid down would cross the moors in the best possible manner.—(Cheers.) It would be found that he had taken the lowest practicable summits, and the easiest gra dients that could be had. All the streams rose in the micclle of the moors, flowing thence in every direction, and the line he had chosen led exactly from one into the other, in the direct line of their railway. After some conversational discussion, Mr. HARVEY then rose and said he wished to offer a few observations upon the report which they had heard real, and upon some other matters connected with the present undertaking. He had been exceedingly gratified by the report which their engineer had been able to present to them that day. The character of the line was so ably delineated in that report, that it was entirely unnecessary for him to say more on the subject than to express bow gratified he was with it.—(Hear.) The contrast between it and every other line which had yet been projected for connecting the metropolis and Exeter with the western parts of Devon and Cornwall was most strongly marked.—(Cheers.) Mr. Julian had shown that the Great Western and Falmouth Junction Railway would effect a saving in distance—that there would be an immense reduction in the cost of construction over that of the old central line, and that better gradients would be obtained throughout.—(Hear, hear.) Time would thereby be saved as well as money, and time, as they knew, was money in railroad affairs. The line now under their consideration was one which connected the existing and pro jected broad gauge lines from Exeter, westward, throughout the whole of the dis rict of Devon and Cornwall, and it in no way competed with any line, existing or projected, at present before the public.--(Cheers.) Instead of taking up an inde pendent position at Exeter, and running down in competi• tion with the line which was authorised by the last session of Parliament to be constructed between Exeter and Crediton, and, instead of also competing, with another projection from the same great commanding and influential body, the Great Western Company, and the other parties who projected the North Devon line, with an arm to Crediton, this line proposed to connect itself only with the western point of that junction somewhere near Hatherleigh, and to pins on to Falmouth, without competing with any line pr+cted from Truro to Penzance.—(Hear.) It had been considered necessary, in the absence of any defined plan for a connection between the North Devon and Crediton to survey the whole country up to Crediton, so as to be in a condition to deposit their plans for an entire line from Cre diton to Falmouth, showing on the plan a complete connec tion, which they could not do if they assumed the curse of the line from a point on the North Devon line. There had been a line projected last session for the accommodation of the whole of Cornwall—the coast line—and which ran from Falmouth by the coast to Plymouth, and then proposed to be united with the South Devon line. That bill had been on its own demerits rejected by the House of Lords, and in an amended shape it had not yet made its appearance before the public. A prospectus had been issued by that company, which stated that Mr. Brunel had been autho rised, in compliance with the recommendation of the com mittee of the House of Lords, to complete a new survey of the whole district of country between Plymouth and Fal mouth, and he had also been instructed to survey the dis trict. between the coast line and the proposed north Devon line, with the view of effecting a junction between those lines, and so to perfect something like a direct communi cation between Falmouth and Exeter. Hitherto no project had appeared of the sort, and the only line which met the necessities of the oountry, and which united instead of con flicting with existing interests, was the Great Western and Fahnouth Junction line, now under discussion.--(Hear, bear, hear.) Another line had been projected to pass from Exeter over a simiiar district of country to Fal mouth and Penzance ; but the line was what was com monly known ,as a narrow gauge line, and being in connection with the existing interests of the narrow gauge, viz„ with the South Western Company, as far as Bast- 0 - stoke, and with ether narrow gauge projects to Salisbury and Exeter, it could scarcely be consi dered as entering into competition with a broad gauge which was simply an extension of the existing Bristol and Exeter line from Exeter westward. The Great Western Company had lately published some statements, and had declared their intentions to be to construct a direct line from London to Exeter, by the extension of certain lines autho rised to be made 1)y them to Hungerford, and by a new line from Exeter to Yeovil. That line would of course be a broad gauge line, and the whole district of country below Exeter, being clearly occupied by broad gauge projects and broad gauge lines, it appeared reasonable to suppose that no narrow gauge independent line could be carried down from Salisbury and Yeovil and Exeter westward, to compete with existing and projected broad gauge lines, when it was known that the great objects of Parliament were first to see that proper railway accommodation should be secured to every district requiring it, and in the next place, that that communication should be carried out, if possible, by existing interests. And assuming that to be probable, he regarded the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil project, the Yeovil and Exeter, and the Cornwall and Devon central line, as standing no chance whatever of succeeding in obtaining any Parliamentary authority for their schemes. It was very clear that to one or the other of the existing broad gauge schemes the present project must be a matter c f con siderable interest.—(Hear, hear.) There had lately been, as they were aware, a disagreement—a very considerable disa greement—between the Bristol and Exeter, and the Great Western Companies, as to the terms on which the one should cede, and the other obtain the entire possession of the former railway. The Bristol and Exeter Proprietors deter mined that the terms upon which the Great Western Com pany desired to purchase the line were not such terms as they either could or ought to accept. Hear, hear.) It appeared to him (Mr. Harvey) that if the Bristol and Exeter Railway was at present worth to the Great Western Railway Company six per cent., which was the sum offered by them at the expiration of the lease—if it was worth six per cent. to them, with the full knowledge which they had of the traffic passing over it—information which he believed they bad not thought fit to disclose to the Shareholders of the Bristol and Exeter Company—he said, if they were willing to give this per centage, with a full knowledge of the amount of the traffic over the Bristol and Exeter line, and notwithstanding their determination to carry out a direct line of railway by Hungerford, the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line, and Yeovil, why then there could not be a doubt that if the Bristol and Exeter Company main tained an independent course, and assisted in promoting the legitimate extension of their own line, they might reasonably ask 10 per cent. They might thereby secure the whole of the traffic now carried from Cornwall by water, but which they now lost. He believed that the Bristol and Exeter line, even if a direct line should be carried out between Exeter and London, would ultimately realise a greater traffic than the Great Western Railway itself— seeing that the Bristol and Exeter Railway was the key stone to the great highway of traffic to the north, to the great manufacturing districts, and to Scotland. There was another important point to be remarked upon here—that was the proposed extension of the line from the Bristol and Exeter Railway to the extreme north and north-west parts of Devon n of enrr.•.‘T.P.— ( iie:ir).

He (Mr. Her ve n, die that the London, Salisbury, and Yeovi l ComP'Ventrs Yeovil and Exeter, and the Cornwall and DeY°lle Mme Company, had become identified in interest to extent with another company having a ditelotak verse interest—he meant the Manchester an es` ampton Company.—(Hear, hear.) This was the In .. gr , II traordivary amalgamation of interests be had ever. "dor (Hear, hear)—for the Manchester and eoutharol4l h the t pany bad been projected, not insidiously, but te avowed purpose of taking a certain amount of tto e...ore§ from the western part of England; indeed , f ort. fast purpose of diverting the whole of the West V",4e., India and China trade into the channel of Soutiell.a 19 (Hear, hear.) He said that their stated puree sailer take the trade, the export trade of the nor th, t° o f the ampton, and prevent any of it going by the w a Y,, - Fit Bristol and Exeter Railway, and by the direc t line best/ mouth, the best port in the English Channel.—(Kerr' veg, He took it to be an extraordinary exhibition of W e ., 8 4 pre' when they saw men joining with their opponent 3, tending to have a community of interests, when theibefort had the most adverse interests to promote. lie in i g h nt r ' 'le t° he sat down, advert to the traffic carried on from -100 g Bristol.' It wag very considerable, and would nev,et.tiosle to the Great Western Railway. It was the lerrhere traffic of. he Bristol and Exeter line.—(Hear, hear;) twice! were now three steamers from Hayle to Bristo,. j o week, carrying on the average ninety passengers Bristol,., dition large quantities of goods, vegetables, a e '„ fro t° siderable time was occupied in making the veYegv a eof Hayle to Bristol, compared with the rapidity woof 1;100 transit. Time saved was money gained, a nd ° w est° it would cost more money to travel from the :ttig part of Cornwall by railway to Bristol than itZ co steam-vessels, still the saving of time would more LP - w iet• pensate any man whose time was of any va ltie gee , ever to him. He assumed, therefore, th at old portion of the traffic now carried by steamers r in i o to taken by milway from Cornwall over the Brrt'osi soi Exeter line. It seemed to him that the Ihlices 61 Exeter Railway Company need not trouble thent'' es' entering into an arrangement three years before t e piration of their lease, for it must be obvious that tli_nthei sought to propitiate them by promises on the one hTife to intimidate them by threats on the other, nanetj,,,, view an object which they had reasons for not which the Bristol and Exeter Shareholders w ould .. e, ° je• g to look to.—(Hear, and cheers.) The Bristol and Bleropn fog a right to ask complete amalgamation, or to `,7▪ 6f ot that they would be altogether independent of oiuo' Western Company.—(Hear.) The drift of these °Net; 0 5 ' was just this—that at present it was the interes t of the tol and Exeter Company to promote the extension et dependent line from Exeter through Devon and co- i i the If a complete amalgamation should take Bristol and Exeter and Great Western Railways, ail l i l a interests of those parties would be to promote the be, s n between the metropolis and Falmouth. It seemed ` O ,'',lloe on a review of tile whole subject, that no narrow-o°' be e t stood any chance of success.
