The line of Railway proposed between Uttoxeter and Dudley has 1 undertaken at the suggestion of several influential parties, as rabining (without being a competing lin e with any railway at pre 'leat made) all the advantages of several projected lines, with addl.- 1:305 of no ordinary value. The town of Uttoxeter, in e Dove Val- Ps itself the centro of a rich agricultural district, s th upplying al- L. a dY the markets of Dudley, Tipton, Walsall, BilsOn, and Wednes „'ll, with cheese, cattle, and agricultural produce, but by a very .Pensive and dilatory mode of transit. All the pr o p osed lines tctoraunicating with M anc hester, London, and the Potte ries, ;`,1113t necessarily pass to or near U ttoxeter. Already the Chur .._et Valley, Derby and Staffo'rd, Derby and Crewe, Teen, Z i g Dove Valley, North Staffordshire, Manchester Direct Inde t7odeus, Leicester and Ashby lines of railway, project a station at ,toxeter. Assuming either of these former , or so me e q uivalent, to t 4 as this will be the best route from Manc hester, Macclesfield, the P otteries Hull, Sheffield, and the north to the mineral districts of r outh Staffordshire, and to Kidderminster, Worcester, and South b b ales. By thCLeicester and Ashby line, which will communicate tts branch to Uttoxeter, traffic of great part of the east of i .'"illand will be available for Staffordshire and the west. i'°lbmencing, at Uttoxeter, the line will be carried over rourable ground to Abbott's Bromley, thence to Rugeley, where 6,e - 111 fall into the Trent Valley Railway Station, by Channock I. % la se, along the Rising llrok Valley, to ilednesford, and thence by and across the Grand Junction Railway, through Wednesbury Ti the mineral districts of South Staffordshire to Dudley; there it 7111 join all those railways that will connect the Staffordshire coal field Worcester, Ludlow, and Porthdynllaen ou the south-west. ...7TYstwith, Merthyr Tydvil, Swansea, lieretbrd, on the west and th. In fact, it will unite by the nearest route the east and west 01 England. • • The line will fall into and cross the Trent Val l ey , Midlands, and Grand Junction Railway at Walsall, and from Cannock afford direct l' i onanu n i ca tion with Wolverhampton ( where it will run into the road g auge railway) from Leeds , an d Haddersflad, and .the north ' l4 east of England. The population on the line exceeds 300,000, and the ordinary traffic t ri sing from internal sources alone Is sufficient to maintain the rail "lY, and afford more than ample remuneration to the shareholders. Beetle a junction line (with )flit present immensely increasing public "'mount of passenger traffic, but it must necessarily be very great. Since this line was registered , a c om p an y has been formed for ex tending it by a junction at Uttoxeter, to Huddersfield, Leeds, and l ertield , by way of Ashbouni,.find by this means immen se mines of v _ el4l , iron, stone, and coal of Derby shire, the p roducts of the paint Zi.nufactories and barytes works at Ashbounie, Cromford, SLC., will ; "Petted, and with those already in work, find a ready transit to and Birmingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton. The in ."`eaSe of.passengers, attracted by ready means of conveyance to the Itnnantic country of Dovedale, and the High Peak, will be necessarily "cry great. • he copper, ore, lime, and coal, abounding the Callon and the Vixlen mines, will be transmitted by this line to the manufacturing su striets of Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and South Wales, and It will ;fiord a direct communication between Leeds, Huddersfield, and utliampton, and it will also be the nearest route to Southampton r,°lti Manchester, via Uttoxeter, by the London and Manchester "rect Independent Line, or whatever railway should ultimately Aug between Manchester and London, arfonning the shortest rou te the metropolis, a line which, it is now admitted on all hands, must carried. This Company reserves the right to raise additional capital to com- Vete the line from Dudley to or near the Droitwich station, on the B irmingham and Gloucester Railway. ~ ...APplications for shares and every information to be made to Villain Arnold Bainbrigge, Esq., Uttoxeter ; and John Owens, 1;1, 35 , Moorgate-street, London ; and of the following share •%,"'ers :—Messrs.

The, great importance and increasing prosperity of the port idtha.t more extensive railway accommodation stuuthldambeptsotnuuee requiresproved According to the evidence:la tel y g iven before Parliament b y Mr. Ed wards, the Collector of Cu stoms at that p ort, the ex p orts have more c than quadrupled during the last three y ears, and he expressed his onviction, that if a more d irect communication with the manufac turing districts was made, the exports would increase to no less a sum than ten millions the first year afterwards. to Portugal, Gibraltar, the Mediterranean, Malta, Ital y , Greece, All the steamers from Engl and to Jerse y , and the Channel Islanda, Turkey, Egypt, and the East and West Indies, now depart from and arrive at Southampton. It is also the most direct and shortest course to ('aril through Havre. Large quantities of goods are now brought to it from Manchester and the manufacturing districts for export, which would be greatly increased if the means of transit were easier and less expensive, and the supply of clothing and naval stores from Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Staffordshire, to her Majesty's dockyards, and victualling stores at Portsmouth and Gosport, in addition to the export trade, is neces sarily very great, so that it is clear, that a more direct railway com munication from the manufacturing districts to Southampton, Gos port, and Portsmouth. is absolutely necessary. The passing of the Oxford and Rugby, the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Acts this session, has afforded the facilities of effect ing this communication in the most direct course. By making the railway, which will now be constructed by this Company, from Dideot, on the Great Western Railway, where the Oxford Line terminates, through Newbury, to the Southamp ton and Gosport Railway, near the Andover Road station, a distance of only thirty miles, the most direct and tha shortest commu nication will be funned from all parts of the north of England and the manufacturing districts, to Southampton, Gosport, and Ports mouth. The line goes through a favaurable country, and will be made at little cost. The traffic on it, wholly irrespective of that from Man chester and the north, will be very large. A communication from Newbury to a port is much wanted, so that the large quantities of corn brought to that market may be exported along the coast. A quick transit from Oxfoni to Winchester, to Southampton and France. and to the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth, will be secured. From Oxford railways are about to be made to Cambridge, Peter borough, and Lincoln, and to Rugby, there joining the Midland and York Railways ; by this means affording the most direct and shortest road to Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Lincolnshire, Sheffield, the large cloth districts of Yorkshire, and to York and Scotland. The whole of this traffic, together with the carriage of the cutlery and belongplated geTelisusc,,feSl3lr to fliel t d h , is an i d lne th , e an c d lot i h t gisoodqusiteof O suffir c k i s e h n i t r e , must of itself to maintain it, and to secure for it a large share of support, even if it had no further claims on public attention ; but when reference is made to the map, it will be seen that, from the Oxford and Rugby Railw a y, near Banbury' another railway will proceed to Birmingham, which brings that most important to wn several miles nearer to th e port of Sout h amp t on th a n by the route proposed by other parties through Cheltenham. Again, from Rugby the Trent Valley and North Staffordshire Railway will carry the traffic on to Manchester, by which route the distance to Manchester from Southampton is considerably less than by the same route round Cheltenham, and will be further reduced by the Rugby and Maccles field line when made ; and as the goods coming by this line to South ampton will, for the greater part of the distance, travel over rail ways possessing a very large traffic of their own, and which can afford to carry this extra traffic at very much lower rates than a new company, whioh depends for its support entirely on such traffic, can possibly do,theY will brought much cheaper by this line , than b y any line which be can be made between Southampton and Chelten ham. But it is of the most vital importance to the town of Southampton that this communication with the manufacturing districts should be completed in the least possible time, in order that the continuance of the foreign steam packets may be secured to that Port. T his Rail way will be made and opened i n twe l ve mon th s after the passing of the Bill, 1. e., the Ist of September, 1847, whereas the line, via Chel tenham, cannot be finished in less than three years. The Railways from Yeovil and Dorsetshire, and parts to the west ward, will join this line near Whitchurch, and bring great portion of the traffic from the west over this line to Oxford and the places beyond it. As to the gauge there will be no difficulty.

The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham Railway, near Harrow, and passing to the north of Uxbridge, will proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham to Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury ; from which place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and approaching Brackley, will terminate by a Junction with the proposed Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury. In addition to the line above described. it is intended also to con struct a Railway from the central station of the London and Bir mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through Bicester to Oxford; and in connexion with the line here proposed, the Bedford, and London and Birmingham Company, intend to make a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton. The proposed Buckingham and London and Birmingham Railway Company (for the construction of a linefrom Wolverton to Bicester) is amalgamated with this Company. Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difficulty of importance presents itself. The undertaking has already received the sanction and support of a very large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of land through or near whose property it is intended to pass. It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation, and under the direction and superintendence of the London and Birmingham Railway company; under a lease, in perpetuity, at four per cent. per aunum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange ment as to the surplus profits. It is intended to offer the shares in such proportion as the amount of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London, Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway Company, subject to the approbation of the Committee of Management, with the exception of such as may be required for parties having local interests.

Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London, JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The genes ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the• un guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, '• the genuine," but without itame or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies," and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope will prevent many disappointments. BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom mended as a most useful and convenient sauce; will keep good in all climates.

Val lack, of St. Bud .au, were bathing immediately under the little cottage on the Devonshire side of &lush passage, the former, while walking into the water, lost his footing, owing to the sudden shelving of the bank, and got beyond hia depth. Mr. Bryant rushed to his assistance, and held him up for some time by grasping holtl of the hair of his head, but Air. Knox having suddenly caught hold of and clung to Mr. Bryant so closely as to endanger his safety, he was obliged to leave the unfortunate young gentleman, who sank immediately. _ Mr. Bryant gave an alarm, and a waterman who was near the spot, groped with his paddle to find the body, but could not discover it ; and though persevering exertions were made by the Salt ash men, they were unsuccessful until the next day, when it was found accidentally at low water, on an oyster bank, about three-quarters of a mile from the spot of the melancholy casualty. The young gentleman, who was a son of Lord Iltrifurly, was between 15 and 16 years of age, and was much beloved for his amiable disposition. lie had only just returned from visiting his friends. TIIE SPITALEIELDS WEAVERS.—TIIE SILK ACT. — Thursday night, at eight, a crowded meeting of the board of silk hand-loom weavers of Spitalfields and its vicini`y was held in the Hare-street School-room, for the purpose of hear ing the report of the deputation appointed to watch the pro gress of, and to introduce additional clauses into, a Bill first brought into the House of Lords by Lord Lilford relating to silk weavers, and which Bill has now become the law of the land, the Act having made further regulations respecting the ticket of work to be delivered to the weavers ; Mr. Vendomrai in the chair. Mr. Stewart, the secretary of the union, corn muoicated the steps taken by the deputation by waiting on Lord Lilford and other Members of Parliament, in order to obtain the passing of the Bill, which he observed would be of the greatest advantage to the weavers.

Henri, the owner of an inn in the faubourg St. Eloi, has just died of hydrophobia. The dog, which some time back had bitten the Custom-house officer whose death has been mentioned in the Messager, was in the habit of going into Mme. Henri's house, and playing with the cats. One of the latter, two months ago, bit her mis tress slightly in the hand, but the scar soon healed up. By chance, a few days ago, a person happened to speak before her of the Custom-house officer's death, and at once Mme. Henri w as taken ill. It was found necessary to take her to bed, and soon after she became ao violent that a straight-waistcoat was found requisite. She died on the 15th inst. in great agony. French Paper.

The promoters of this Railway, encouraged by the favourable sup port which has been given to the project, and in compliance with various recommendations they have received, ha - e determined upon the addition of a branch to Birkenhead,. which, although it will manifestly tend to the advantage of the Shareholders and the public, will be attended with comparatively little additional outlay. The project will still retain its chief characteristic of a direct railway, and by its connexion, near Warrington, with the Grand Junction Company, is sufficiently comprehensive, without resorting to a com plicated system of branch lines, or materially couffictit:g with the in terests of existing companies. The line will commence at the city of Chester, and proceed by way of Trafford, Frodsharn, and Preston Brook, to Warrington, thence by Lymm and Stretford direct to Manchester. From a point on the main line, near Frodsham, a branch will be taken tojointhe Chester and Birkenhead Railway, so as to unite Manchester in the most direct manner possible, with the docks now being formed at Bir kenbead. As Manchester, from its geographical position, is the centre of rail way communication between Scotland and the most populous dis tricts of England, so Chester, from a like cause, is the great centre of railway communication between the capitals of Ireland and of Eng land. To connect these two points by a direct and independent line of railway must, therefore, be of the utmost importance, not only in a local point of view, but to the whole commercial intercourse of the country. This line will be the most direct route, by Holyhead, to Ireland, and will be, in all respects, by far the preferable channel of inter course and transit between Ireland and the great manufacturing dis tricts of England. By the railways connecting Chester with Wrex ham, Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Hereford, Gloucester, and South Wales, this will be the nearest route fork Manchester to the south western parts of England. and to the minerals of Monmouth and Glamorganshire The communication with Bristol, Gloucester, and Exeter will bo speedy and direct. On reference to the map, it will be seen that a very considerable distance will be saved by this line, as compared with the present circuitous routes by Crcave anti by Birkenhead; the former being 52 miles, and the latter 46 miles, while the proposed line is only 34 miles, saving in the one case 18 miles, ad in the other 12 miles, besides the serious inconvenience, loss of time,n a nd expense of passing through Liverpool, and crossing the water at that place. It is confidently expected that this line will be the precursor of another scheme, of no ordinary importance—namely, to render 'nester en efficient port for large vessels. This subject was entertained by Sir John Rennie in 1835, and sub sequently, in the same year, by the late Mr. Chapman, who wrote an able report upon the capabilities of the river Dee. It was again nvestigated, in 1837, by Sir John Rennie and Mr. George Remington, and the practicability of forming a good navigable channel for vessels of large burden, together with docks at Chester, was then fully and clearly established. The entrance channel would commence at Dawpool. which is easy of access (and infinitely preferab'e, in point of access and safety, to the docks at Liverpool or Birkenhead), for vessels of large burden, during eight hours every tide, both at springs and neapS • and the sill of the lock would be suffi cientl y low to admit vessels drawing 20 feet water to enter at all tides. This railway, therefore, in connexion with the proposed docks, will render to Chester and Manchester incalculable advantages. To the former it will restore the proper position natural to so important a city ; to the latter it will give another outlet, by sea, to the ma nufacturing districts, free of the heavy port charges, dues, and risks to which the produce is now subject. It has not been thought advisable to combine the two objects in one company at present, but should it be found requisite, the two may hereafter be amalga mated. Merits of no ordinary degree, therefore, may fairly be claimed for this railway, whether taken in connexion with the proposed docks, eras standing alone, combining as it does all the advantages of any other lines, with this great addition, that it will be the high road to the most convenient outport of Manchester, and will be quite inde pendent of any associations or influences that might tend to oppose the growing desire for a moans of direct and independent communi cation between Manchester and the port of Chester. The line has been carefully examined. There are no difficult earth-works to be encountered ;on the contrary it will be cheap, and of easy formation. Power is reserved to the Committee to de viate ftom the proposed line in the vicinity of Manchester, should u lt er i o r arrangements render it expedient.

We regret to learn that the partial strike of the puddlers, in the parish of Tipton and other parts of the district, is likely to be fol lowed by a general turnout of the colliers - and ironstone miners. Notice was given a fortnight since to the puddlers, that the reduc. tion of one shilling a ton would be generally adopted by the mai. ters, and as the notice expires this day, it is expected that opera tions will be suspended in most of the works in South Staffordshire. The thick coal colliers, with the stone-getters, hare also h a d no tices in the district west of Dudley, for a reduction of sixpence, bringing the wages of the former to 45., and the latter to as., per day. These notices expired last Saturday, and hundreds of men are now perambulating the neighhourhot d in every direction, watching the pits at work, and threatening those who continue in employment at the reduced rates. From the measures adopted by the " turn.outs," it is expected that all the mines in the district will very soon be at a stand still. This st..te of things, in connexion with the expiration of the puddlers' notices, will cause one of the greatest strikes hitherto witnessed in South Staffordshire. It is difficult to say how the disagreement will terminate, as the masters have resolved not to submit to the terms of the workmen, and the latter stem equally bent on enforcing their demands. The stocks of coal are very limited, and should no immediate arrangement be come to, the masters will be obliged to blow out their furnaces, and thus throw out of employment all the hands engaged in the manufacture of iron. It is to be hoped that matters will not be pushed to this extremity, as the men and their families are already in a state of great destitution ; and although they may obtain partial employ. ment in field labour, this resource cannot last long; and while th e y continue " at play," workmen and colliers will flock In from o ther districts, and take their ph_ces in the mines and at the Air. naces, We have been informed, on what we deem good authority, that by the stoppage of three furnaces alone in the parish of Tipton. during the present strike, the puddlers have sacrificed in wages 1,0001. a-week. Thus 15,0001., which would otherwise have found its way into different channels of industry, giving employ ment and bread to hundreds of families, is irrecoverably lost, and this unfortunate state of things is not only to be perpetuated, but widely extended, producing discontent and want in a district which. in the present state of trade, possesses all the elements of long. continued prosperity. Regarding the price of iron, it is difficult to arrive at anything like a correct conclusion as to the actual position of the market ; but the certain, and not very remote supply of rails, &c , required by the companies whose Bills have passed through Parliament, and the general exhaustion of the stocks held by consumers, combine to give increased stability and prosperity to the trade—Birmingham Journal. SUNDERLAND, AUG. 21.—During the past week the weather has been extremely wet, with frequent thunderstorms. The river has been much swollen, and, from the quantity of fresh water, it is evident that the rain which has fallen to the west has been considerable. The corn crops in the immediate neighbourhood are laid, and in many instances have been seriously damaged. The crops of potatoes are extremely good, and as to-day a material change for the better has taken place In the weather, there is a reasonable ground for believing that the harvest will not be, on the whole, so unfavourable in this district as was expected by many. On !gouda} , evening a heavy gale sprung up, which continued, with slight inter missions, until Wednesday. Several vessels In the harbour were broken from their moorings, but no damage was done to shipping along the coast. LONDON AND WINDSOR DIRECT RAILWAY. —The inhabitants of Windsor are determined still to persevere In their efforts to obtain the royal permission fora direct railway from Lon don to Windsor, to enter the town either by a tunnel under the Long Walk, or by crossing the Thames to a terminus In Datch_t-kno, close to the Home Park. A requisition is now in course of signature to the Mayor of Windsor for another public meeting of the inhabi tants to be convened on the subject, ' 1 CHESTER and MANCHESTER DIRECT RAILWAY. At a meeting of the Committee, of Management of this under taking, held this day , it w as resolved that, In order to comply with the standing orders of the lime V Lords, as recently altered, it is expedient to reduce the amount of each share to 201., and to extend the number to 50,000, arid that the deposit required be 21. 2s. on each share, and that, in consequence of this alteration in the amount and number of shares and the deposit required, the period within which shares must be applied for be extended to the 28th instant for the London applications, and to the 30th instant for country applications.
