QUEEN-SQ UARE. A CARRIAGE HORSE KILLED BY A CAL—Yesterday, John Taylor, the driver of the cab 1,409, appeared on a summons, which had been obtained against him by Joseph Edwards, coachman to Lord Charles Bea clerk, charging him with careless driving, whereby a very valuable horse belonging to his master had beets killed. His Lordship was in attendance, and stated the animal to Dace been worth 75 guines. The proceedings were, of course, not taken to reco►er compensation, but for the public offence. The coachman stated that at about eleven on Thursday night he drove his master's carriage from Belgrave.square into HaMin.. street. Another carriage turned into Halkin.street at the same moment from Wilton-crescent, which being on its near side caused witness to keep in the middle of the road, and a third carriage at the same time came in a contrary direction on its near side. The latter slackened its pace to go steadily round the coiner, and the cab driven by defendant, which was behind it, came sharply out into the middle of the road, in order to pass, and met witness sud. denly. Witness and defendant both called out, but the cab was coming at such a rate that the driver could not pull up, and one of the shafts of the cab entered the of shoulder of the mare in his Lordship's carriage, and went right to her heart, and she died in a few minutes. Defendant's horse was knocked down by the collision. Witness was driving at a steady trot. Defendant was about Revak feet from the kerb on his side at the time. Richard Brown, a police constable, proved that when be came up immediately after the accident, the cab was about the distance described from the kerb. He had seen the cab enter Halkin street from Grosvenor.place, and it was only going at a " farish" pace. Defendant said he was on his right side, when libe carriage. which was driven at a furious rate, ran against Mm and knocked his horse down. He (defendant) was at a very gentle trot. ?le then called The Reverend W. Malet, a clergyman residing in Mount-street, Grosvenor.square, who stated that he had hired the defendant's cab on the evening in question, and had been driven from Davies•street. As they were going through Halkin-street, he was thrown forward in the cab by a sudden jerk, and got out as soon as he could to ascertain what was the matter, and saw a carriage slowly moving towards the middle of the road. Witness said the defendant was going at the rate of about seven miles an hour, and was on his own side, being about two yards from the kerb. It was his opinion that neither party were going fast, and he considered it to have been purely an accident. Mr. BURRELL was of the same opinion, and dismissed the complaint. His Lordship observed that proceedings would not have been taken but that the cab proprietor came the next morning and abused his servants and everybody else in the place. ASCOT HEA.TH RACES. (FRIDAY.) Our reports of the three first days have shown that this meeting has not inaptly been designated a " monster meeting." Such a succession of unrivalled sport is without precedent, aid we have now to close our pleasant, but rather laborious, duties, with the return of a fourth and last day, quite in character with those that preceded it. Three classes of the Wokinglom, in addition to the other stakes, is a proof of the immense num ber of horses congregated in the different racing stables, and of the determination of their own ers t o g o b an d i n hand witk the Stewards in making sport. The public are deeply indebted to the Master of the Buckhounds for the pains he has taken to bring the meeting to so successful an issue. Nothing in the shape of a wrangle, or of an attempted fraud, as in 1844, oc curred to lessen the enjoyment of the racing, nor beyond the accident that befel the Noble Lord himself, and the number of horses that fell victims to the heat, dust, and fatigue on the Cup day, did we hear of any serious drawbacks to the general success of the week. The subordinate departments of the management, with one grand exception, were most satisfactorily filled ; Mr. Clark as Judge, and I.lr. Hibburd, as Clerk of the Course, were quite "at heme," and left nothing to be desired. The police, under Superintendants May ( A) and Pearce (F), from all that passed under our observation, were , perfectly efficient in the per formance of their duties on the Course ; if a few snore men had been distributed on the approaches to it, several collisions, arising from obstinacy or intoxication, might have been prevented. But there is "nothing perfect under the sun," and the Ascot is not without a blot, and the sooner it is re moved the better. We allude to the race-cards and lists ; sad as there are "two Richards in the field," it must be unde rstood that we speak of the " official " ones. The blunders and omis sions were manifold and incomprehensible, and the supply se late and insufficient, that the fortunate few who obtained cards on the second day were, in many instances, obliged to pay five times the regular price! We have no doubt that Lord firmly', will take measures to prevent a similar source of complaint next year, by entrusting the printing to competent people. Of yesterday's racing it is sufficient to observe, by way of preface, that it attracted a small company, chiefly of the work ing classes, and was as goad as it was plentiful. The wea ther, saving a smart but most aceeptable shower just before the last race, was fine, but overpoweringly close and sultry. The racing commenced at half-past one, with The Chesterfield Stakes of 100 soya. each, 60 ft, for three yr-old colts, Bst 71b, and fillies, Bst 21h. Mile aid three quarters. 6 Subs.

The Artful Dodger getting away with a lead of several lengths, although at the time Physalis and Triumvir were turned away from the post—of course their courses were completely put out—The Artful Dodger, notwithstanding be got off so well, was beaten at the turn, and Beaumont, taking his place, made the rest of the running and won in a canter by three lengths. The winner was claimed. The Wokingham Stakes of 5 soya. each, for three _years and upwards (handicap) divided into three classes. Last three quarters of a mile.—First Class. (17 Subs.) Lord O.

JOHN CLENCH, secretary. TIIE LATE THOMAS HOOD. This distinguished writer, who has for upwards of twenty years entertained the public with a constant succession of comic and humoristic works, in the whole range of which not a single lino of immoral tendency, or calculated to pain an individual, can be pointed out—whose poems and serious writings rank among the noblest modern contributions to our national literature, and whose pen was ever the ready and efficient advocate of the unfortunate and the oppressed (as recently, for instance, in the admirable "Song of the Shirt," which gave so remark able an impulse to the movement on behalf of the distressed neediewomen), has left a widow and two children in straitened and precarious circumstances, with no other means of subsistence than a small pension, terminable on the failure of the widow's life, barely sufficient to supply a family of three with com mon necessaries, and totally inadequate for the education and advancement of the orphan children. Even this scanty resource has been, of necessity, forestalled to a considerable extent during the last five months, in order to meet the heavy sick room and funeral ex penses. Under these circumstances a SUBSCRIPTION for the finally has been set on foot. The admirers of Thomas Hood throughout the country will, it is hoped, take this opportunity of publicly testifying their recognition of his genius, and their sense of his personal worth. COMM] ITTEL.

This short but important :railway will commence by forming a junction at the viaduct over the river Trent, near Airewas, on the Birmingham and Derby Railway, and proceed in nearly a straight line to Dudley, being a distance of about twenty-one miles, forming a direct and unbroken railway communication between Derby and the North Midland Counties and Worcestershire, Herefordshire. and the other South-Western Counties of England. This railway includes in its course the city of Lichfield and the large and rapidly increasing town of Walsall ; leaving which it will fall into the Grand Junction Railway at the Walsall Station (Bescot Bridge), and continuing thence through the manufacturing and mining districts of Wednesbury and Tipton, will join the projected railway along the banks of the Birmingham Canal, and proceed on to its terminus at Dudley, where It will unite with the railways connecting Stourbridge, Kidderminster, Steurport, Worcester, and the South West. The shortest and most direct line will thus be formed for the transit of manufactured iron, &c. from the centre of the vast mineral and manufacturing districts of South Staffordshire, to Gains borough, Hull, Sneffield, and the other great markets of the North. The ironstone and other produce of the Derbyshire mines will also he brought by means of this railway direct to the furnaces of Stafford shire, and the coal from Cannock Chase and Brownhills (the best for domestic purposes), will be conveyed at a small cost to supply the towns of Walsall and Dudley, Wolverhampton, and Birmingham. The Hay Head lime, and that of Rushall, the former considered the best for hydraulic works, and the latter for agricultural purposes and for the manufacture of iron, together with the blue bricks and tiles of Walsall Wood, at present so* much in demand, but nearly excluded for want of railway access, will all be brought directly into the proper markets. and will form an immense traffic for this railway. _ _ Sortie estimate of the Passenger Traffic may be formed when it is stated that the population of the towns embraced by this undertaking amounts to nearly three hundred thousand; and when the enormous traffic which must result from opening up the most favoured district in England is considered, there can be no doubt that the constractien of this railway, besides the great benefit arising to the public, will prove, as an investment, amply remunerative to the Shareholders. Preliminary surveys have been made, and the line is favourable both as regards gradients, economy of construction, and ffitnre working. There are no expensive earth works or engineering difficulties, and the estimate is under. the usual average per mile; and the line Is so laid out as not to interfere with any ornamental property. In the allotment of shares a preference will be given to parties locally interested in the line. Applications for shares may be made, in the form appended, to any of the solicitors, or to ➢fessrs. Aston and Scott, stock and share brokers, 32, Throgmorton-street, London; but no application will be attended to, unless accompanied by a satisfactory reference. credit. It seemed that they set out on the idea that the duty would be taken off brandy, and in consequence went the round of the trade, merchants, importers, and brokers, and purchased largely, the presumption being, that if the duty were removed, there would be a rise in prices. That speculation failing, they then began obtaining advances on the warrants, which they did by going to bill.brokers and other persons, whose assistance increased the false credit. In this manner they went on till their bankruptcy took place. It was unfortunate, but nevertheless true, that in consequence of the position the bankrupts obtained, they became connected with and received assistance from parties who, by rea. son of the profit apparently accruing from such transactions, did not hesitate to engage in what could not be called a legit.ilnate course of business. The enormous commission they paid for as sistance seemed to have been a temptation for highly respectable firms to connect themselves with them in business. It was found, on looking over the accounts, that a Mr. Godsell, who was in a large way ef businesc, had received for commission during one year on such transactions about 1,0001. The commission of a broker was ss. per puncheon, and this was allowed Mr. Godsell on the sale or purchase of brandies. In the course of the 4} years the bankrupts had been in business their losses were about 136,0001., and their expenses 12,0001. On the last exa. mination it was required that the bankrupts should give the detail of the warrants, the date of exchanges that had been made, and other particulars connected with these claims, in order that the assignees might test them for their own satisfaction, which request must be deemed reasonable enough, when it ap peared the accounts for the unsecured credits would not produce more than two shillings in the pound. The assignees did not wish to press severely on the bankrupts. Wkat the assignees particu larly required explanation of was the dates of deposit, exchange of warrants, and qualities and description of goods, for in these respects the accounts furnished little or no explapapon whatever. The bankrupt Currie said the Learned Counsel who had assailed them on the part of the assignees was misinstructed. Their ac. counts were very correct, and, he believed, perfectly satisfactory. They bad got into debt, as men in business without capital would. That was the real case. They bad not traded upon fic titious credit; it was misfortune that had overwhelmed them. All their books were accurately kept, and showed the MI extent of their dealings. The bankrupt Seignette said it was true they had only been in business four and a half years, as regarded partnership; but Mr. Currie had been previously in business for thirty years, and he him. self for forty.five years; they were friends doing business, and they then joined each other. With respect to the statement of capital, that could be explained. When Mr. Currie and himself entered into partnership, they did not take an accurate estimate of stock which each brought into the business, The 1,500/. was only the residue derived from sales, in consequence of the depressed state of the market. As far as purchases were concerned, he could only say that the principal persons from whom the house had purchased were Mends; and the foreigners who were said to have been de ceived by their transactions were among the foremost of those who bad pressed them to purchase, the assurance being that, if they did so, they must realise large profits. The partnership did not admit the claims made by Mr. Godsell and others to the extent stated. He would willingly consent or submit to an adjournment, if his consent or submission were required, but he really thought no better accounts could be furnished than those which were before the Court. The official assignee said he was bound to say that the books and accounts appeared to have been kept In a most accurate manner, and the balance sheet was drawn out as well as could be. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE said he should order an adjour. ment, without at present expressing any opinion upon the merits of the case. He thought the assignees were justified, after what he had heard, in asking time for examination. He always made it a rule, when be found very large bill transactions, and larger pledges of goods, to give creditors the opportunity of making very minute investigation. Seignette said it was impossible to give the dates of exchange. • Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUB—Do not persist in that, as it wil' go very much against you when you apply for your certificate. An adjournment was then made, the bankrupts to have the ad. vantage of the accounts. NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR ANCE SOCIETY, 26, CORNIIILL, LONDON. Capital 4500,000.

This is the only discovery affording a perfect cure, without admi nistering an internal Medicine, the difficulty and inconvenience of which, in all disorders particularly incidental to Children, aro too well known to need any comment. The Inventor and Proprietor of this Embrocation can with pleasure and satisfaction declare, that its salutary effects Lave been so universally experienced, and so gene rally acknowledged, that many of the most eminent of the Faculty now constantly recommend it as the only known safe and perfect cure, without restriction of diet or use of medicine. Many thousands of chil lren are cured annually by this remedy; on the first attack, an immediate application of the EMBROCATION will prevent the complaint taking any hold of the constitution, and a few times using often completely cures. In most cases, one bottle will produce the desired effect. The Proprietor, therefore, earnestly and conscientiously recommends it to Parents, Guardians, and all those who have the care of children. For the protection of the Public, and to prevent imposition, " J. ROCHE" is signed on the Label accompanying each bottle, and the name of the sole Wholesale Agent, Mr. Edwards, 67, St. Paul's, engraved on the Government Stamp. Price 4s. per bottle.

(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice Elt1:11 and Common Juries.) B&1(&L V. SCOTT. This was an action for libel against the Morning Advertiser newspaper. Through the mistake or misconduct of the reporter, the plaintiff had been represented as having been tried and con victed of theft at the Central Criminal Court, when, in fact, he was neither tried nor convicted. The newspaper had retracted and apologised on the next day after the erroneous publication, and had dismissed the reporter. Still the plaintiff went on with his action. —..-... After Mr. Wilde had opened the pleadings, Mr. KrrowLss, Q.C., stated that the matter had been amicably arranged between himself and his friend Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, and that they had agreed to a verdict fer the plaintiff of 101, with costs, and to insert an apology. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, June 13. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONRLANQUB THE 'WINE TRADE—IN RE CURRIE AND SRIGNETTR. The bankrupts carried on business as wine merchants at Mincing lane, City, and thisday came up to pass their last examination. They were unsupported. Mr. Bo's lei said he appeared on the part of the assignees, to op pose the passing of the bankrupts, and, i n so doing, he would lay some of the features of the case before the Court. It appeared to be one of those firms which, by means of fictitious credit, obtained through other respectable houses, had lately failed, with an enor. mous amount of debts and liabilities. It was a case connected in a measure with Reay and Reay, and the course of business ex. hibited in some respects similar features. The debts and liabili ties of the bankrupts In round numbers were about 170,1091. in the course of four years and a half. They commenced business with a capital of about 1,5001. Of this large amount of debt, 87,0001. was secured by the deposit of brandies. The manner in ' w hich these deposits had been made, would, when the details were regularly before the Court, open a question relative to the con. duct of the bankrupts, but that would more probably come out at the time of the certificate. It was now necessary to state that those goods, which (we understood) were obtained during the last year and a half, were not purchased for the wants of business, but for the purpose of raking money and getting IN RE SLATER. The case of this bankrupt, who was described as of Queen's-row, Brompton, cabinet-maker and upholsterer, was adjourned sine die. The estate possessing no assets for distribution, no assignees h a d been appointed, and the bankrupt applied on his own petition. IN RE DR WILDE. The bankrupt in this case carried on business in partnership with others, as a wholesale ironmonger, in Wells-street, Oxford. street. It was for the choice of assignees. Mr. LAWRENCE, who appeared fbr the flat, objected to the proof of 3,9001. 71. on the part of Mr. Mills, who was formerly in part. nership with the bankrupt, but in 1842 he left the concern, when the bankrupt agreed to pay to him the sum of 4,8001., being a portion for goodwill and debts. The latter were very large; but, unfortunately, 2,6001. were found to be bad ; consequently, Mr. Mills ought to bear a loss on his part to the extent of 43001. In addition I. this, he had been paid 9001. ; thus he actually received mere than he was entitled to, yet he, not having paid a shilling into the concern, now wanted to prove for 3,9001. His HONOUR said he had no power to rescind a contract, and the proof was allowed. An objection was made to a claim of a Mr. Hardman, who had been a partner of the hankrupt, and was solvent, for 1,7001., but which was also allowed. Several claims from Birmingham were admitted, and Mr. Mills and Mr. Maßens. of Birmingham, were appointed assignees. (Before Mr. Commissioner Ev Asia.) IN NH JOHN Q. HARRIS. This day was appointed for the final examination and audit of the estate of the bankrupt John Quineey Harris, who formerly carried on business as a hatter in the Southwark-bridge-road, and for seme time represented Newcastle-under-Lyne In Parliament The case had created some degree of interest, from the circum. stances that the bankrupt, about a month since, was committed for want of sureties from Bow-street to the House of Correction, and trout thence had been removed to a lunatic asylum. Dr. Sutherland was now called, and deposed that the bankrupt was a lunatic, and from his present state of mind it would be ircpos. sible to have him brought up and examined. His HONOUR inquired when was it probable the bankrupt could attend and pass his last examination ? Dr. Sutherland said that at present it was impossible to fix any period, when, on an application being made, the final examination and audit was adjourned sine die. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, June 13. (Before the Cntzr COHNISSIONCR.) IN THE MATTER or JOHN BROKENSIHRE. This insolvent, whose cue has appeared on several occasions in this journal, now appeared for judgment. At first he refused to be sworn to his schedule, and asked the dismission of the petition, which was refused. He then consented to sign the usual docu ments, and was sworn to the truth of the schedule. The CIIIEF COMMISSIONER, in pronouncing judgment, went over the general facts, declaring that the case was a must extraordinary one. The insolvent was remanded by the Court in 1842. In 1843 he took the Brown Bear, in Broad-street, Bloomsbury, where he remained until the end of May, 1844. He had been anxious to remove the record of his proceedings from the Court, and had made some payments for that purpose. His wife had an annuity, which was mortgaged, which mortgage was assigned, and a policy of between 700/. and 8001. had been effected in the Sun office. When the insolvent left the Brown Bear he had about 350/. in his posses sion, or under his control, which should havebeen distributed among his present creditors. The excuse offered for the insolvent was, that he was not, on account of the state of his mind, to be held respon Bible for its disposition —an excuse which, if founded in truth, would have been ample and sufficient, but if in falsehood, there was an aggravation of the offence. The hypothesis of the derange. ment of the insolvent's mind was based on his supposed conduct en .the 29th of May, in his hurried journey to Margate to pay some money, and afterwards to Brixham, in Devon, for a similar purpose. It had, however, turned out that the money was paid at Margate some days before the sale of the public-house, therefore the foundation for the insanity could not be sustained. After his visit to Brixham, the extraordinary story told by the man was that he was seized with a sudden desire to bathe, and went to Weston. super-Mare, near Bristol. There he received a blow on the head, and, according to his account, several months had passed before he awoke to consciousness ; that he discovered himself in a lunatic asylum at New Orleans, reached New York, and returned to Eng land. There was nothing to confirm the alleged state of mind, but on the contrary the evidence showed a different state of things. As far as the evidence went the insolvent was lost sight of from the sth to 22d June, and two witnesses had been called who had spoken of having seen him in London in June or July. The insolvent departed on the 22d of June from Liver pool for New York, and en that day a singular circum stance occurred. A certificate was prepared by Mr. Brenham (who received 1001. out of the 350/.), and forwarded to the in. aurance office in London, giving a most laboured account of the supposed death of the insolvent, and of the dangerous current off the coast at Weston.super-blare, which frequently carried bodies across the Atlantic, and of the improbability of ever hearing of the insolvent again. This document was sent for the purpose of getting paid to Mr. Johnson the insurance on the life of the insolvent, upon the hypothesis of his death. They then lost sight of the insolvent for two months, when he re-appeared again. He had left this country with a considerable sum of money, and returned, to all appearance, pennyless. Such conduct on the part of a debtor, with reference to his creditors, was by no means unusual, and if a plea of insanity was to be admitted as an excuse, there was no telling to what it might lead. The adjudication was that the In solvent be remanded for a period of twelve calendar months from the date of his vesting order, for having fraudulently made away with his property with intent to diminish the sum to be divided among the creditors. The insolvent, who was greatly excited, exclaimed, vehemently, that "lie never knew a just judgment in that Court." Ho was then removed in custody. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBOIVE. PURLIC PERFORMANCE INTERRUPTED. —Yesterday Philip Wa lrus, a boy about twelve years of age, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Long, charged with conduct of a most outrageous nature. The prisoner, although so young, has, during the last three or four years, obtained a livelihood by performing feats of a singular and dangerous description, for the pleasure of her Majesty's liege subjects, who have often rewarded him pretty liberally for his exer tions. In the day time, his exploits have been confined to the principal streets and squares of London, where, to the terror of some persons, and the infinite delight of others, he has stood upon his head for half an hour at least, on the top of an area rail, an d while in that perilous situation be would play all manner of antics with his hands and legs. His evening labours consisted in visiting beer-shops and other places of resort, and there singing "Jim Crow," "Lucy Long," and many more nigger melodies, in cha racter, always standing upon his head, and beating time, a mcrvcillc, with his feet. .... The evidence now brought against him went to sho w th a t on the same morning he was balancing himself on an iron spike, in front of a house in the Edgware-road, and that a gentleman, imagining him to be in imminent danger pulled him down. The prisoner then pelted him so unmercifully with stones that he deemed it prudent to make off as fast as he could ; and the noise and confusion at length became so great as to cause upwards of 200 people to assemble at the spot. The prisoner also bit severely the finger of a person who endeavoured to prevail upon him to be quiet ; and on his being taken into custody he kicked and other wise resisted police.constable Porter. Mitchell, the gaoler, said that the prisoner had many times been committed from this and other courts. Mr. Tuckford, one of the officers of the parish of Marylebene, observed that the youthful offender had been repeatedly received into the workhouse, but in two or three days after his admission he generally contrived to effect his escapeby climbing over walls, tee. ; his cunning and agility were truly astonishing. Mr. LONG (to the prisoner)— What have you to say? Prisoner —Please your vorship, I had my head at top of a spike, ven a man lays hold on me, and without speaking a blessed syllible sot smndever lugs me right very down on the pavement, arter rich he chucked a stone at me, and in course I shied another at Ifii!;i, I'm ASCOT RACES. The Ascot races are over ; they were, we believe, tie most brilliant upon record. We wish we could add chi t the managers had acted in accordance with the royalty of the sport—it was far otherwise. Insult, either im plied or intended, was dealt out moat liberally to the conductors of the Loudon press. We hope that Lord Rosalyn has too much respect for his order to war rant or countenance such misconduct ; and yet the underlings or officials placed at the several gates, acting under his assumed orders, behaved in the most imperti nent manner, and seemed as if they had been placed there by accident, from some of the neighbouring livery stables. We hope, if we may venture to trespass upon the courtesy of the managers of Ascot Races, neat year we may be treated with that civility which we readily accord to others, and which we have a right to expect for ourselves ; we acquit Lord Rosslyn of any in tentional insult. But, if he undertake to manage the sports of the day, we hope he will have more civil and efficient officers on the next occasion. At the same time we . most freely admit, that the authorities and managers of race-et,urses, and other places of public resort, are fre quently imposed upon by parsons representing themselves as influentially connected with the public press , and claim ing position and privileges to which they are by no means entitled. This is a nuisance in the management of such places, which we are most anxious to suppress ; but still we claim for the press that courtesy and attention to which it is fairly entitled, and the fall and free exercise o f the privileges which, though sometimes abused, ace universally adm4tted.—[ED, Sun.] MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND MID LAND JUNCTION RAILWAY. The PROVISIONAL DIRECTORS announce with regret the REJECTION of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junction Railway Bill (as well as the Newark and Sheffield). At present they are at a loss to imagine the grounds on which the Parliamentary Committee came to this most unexpected decision—unexpected as much by the opponents as by the supporters of the measure; they cannot, however, believe that this decision will ultimately affect the interests of the undertaking. So convinced are they of the soundness of, and necessity for the line, that they feel they should not faithfully discharge their duty to the Shareholders, the public, or themselves, by abandoning the undertaking; it is, therefore, intended, that the application shall be renewed next session, and, in the interim, every practicable means will be taken to obviate the probability of a subse quent defeat. Scrip holders are respectfully requested to transmit their Address, as well as the number of Shares they hold, and the numbers of their Scrip Certificates, to the Secretary, on or before the 3d day of JULY NEXT, in order that an account of the expenses may be sent to them, together with a form, whereby they may signify their desire to withdraw from the undertaking, and receive back the amount of their deposits (less the expenses) or of prosecuting the measure during the next Session of Parliament.

This line of railway will commence at or near to the Trent Valley station at Atherstone, and pass by Snarestone, Measham, Ashby-de la-Zouch, and Burton-upon-Trent, to a junction with the Churnet Valley portion of the North Staffordshire Railway, near Tutbury, with a branch on or near to the line of the Ashby de la Zouch Canal, by Market Bosworth and Hinckley to the Leicester and Birmingham Railway. This line will form the shortest and most direct route from Man chester to London. It will also bring the valuable coal fields of Moira and Ashby Woulds into direct and immediate communication with the southern and western markets, by means of the Trent Valley, Midland, and Churnet Valley districts of the North Stafford shire Railways. It will also give to the important town of Burton upon-Trent, and the populous country to the north and west, con venient access to this disrict. Another principal feature of the line is, to supply railway com munications to the established mineral baths at Moira and Ashby de la Zouch, and to the inhabitants of the latter town and neigh bourhood. _ y ~l t will also afford an outlet to the extensive trade and fabrics of the Leicestershire and Derbyshire Potteries. It will also, by a short branch, have access to the Leicester and Swannington Railway and coal field. _ _ . Another local advantage will be the supply of limo to extensive agricultural districts by this line from the quarries of Ticknall, Cloud Hill, and Bredon. _ . . With these various sources of traffic, the absence of competing lines, and the unusual facilities in the character of the country for the construction of a railway—xi* considerable work being required, and the gradients being peculiarly favourable for the working of the line, and the opening of the shortest route between Manchester and Landon—there is a certain prospect of a more than ample return for the capital. A plan and prospectus will be issued in the course of a few days, and in the meantime applications for Shares, with proper references, may be made to S. S. Baxter, Esq., solicitor, Atherstene.
