Waddy, Esq., Flndyee-stetet, Westminster'. 770 stronger reCe.atmendation of this propi)sed line need be given than the fact that, sirlee it was provisionally registered on the Bth of Augast last, the idea of the project h as been p irated by Companies to whose cupidity the lines appear to hold the strongest temptations. The object of th is Company is to form a direct communication between the sin:stye ports of Lynn and Wisbeach, and the manufacturing Midland *panties of England, by means of a direct railaYsty from Lynn, throush Wisbeach to Peterborough, thereby completing the line from the Eastern coast of England to Northamton and teLincon and Bir mingham, Manchester and Liverpool. The inhabitants of Lynn, Wisbeach, and Peterborough will then enjoy the advantage of a cheap and direct intercommaalcation between their respective towns, while the important commercial interests Connected with Jhe manufacturing and export trades between the Miclisind Counties and the eastern parts of the coast, will have very valuable addaal facilities afforded them. Lynn and Wisbeach should be, and by the propene, line will be come, to Birmingham and the Midland Counties, what LlverPooMs to Manchester, Lancashire, and the count i es in the north. ;lore over, by the proposed line a direct railway intercourse will be estab• lislied between Lynn, Wisbeach, Southampton, Bristol, Gloucester, ke., as also between Lynn, and Swaff ham, Durham, Thetford, Nor *rich, and Yarmouth. On the other hand, proceeding northwards, the line at Peterborough falls into the others which constitute the great northern railways of England. This line will not interfere with either of the proposed lines to Wisbeach, as those lines will proceed towards London, through Huntingdon, St. Ives, and Ely ; while this line is intended to afford the means ofdirect communication with all the manufacturing and midland districts. In addition to the various and undeniably great advantages upon 'his line which render a profitable amount of traffic certain, the eleilities afforded by nature for its construction are greater than Muse upon any other English line. The cheapness of the construction of lines in Belgium, and the sleety upon them, arising from the level character of the country, are pnlverbial. The districts through which the line will pass poss ess all the advantages of a Belgian course, together with the edditiona: facility afforded by the established dead level of tho Nene navigation. , t atat i ngu ished engineer, has resulted in a report that bp, A survey, construction will be small beyond all precedent, the expensciot•ltg unus aagy short space of time the various towns and that Indio and distrlittrwhich it affect may be in possession of the commer cial, social, local, and g& oral benefits which it is so calculated to eonfer. Public meetings will promptly' bd ;;std in all the towns along the line, at which a deputation from :he promoters will attend to give whatever information may be require,l.

The Importance of establishing the most direct railway communi cation between Leeds and Carlisle, and, by means of the Caledonian Railway, between Carla e, Glasgow, and Edinburgh, is too self evident to require anything to be urged in its support. The existing and projected lines of railway in Yorkshire, which pursue a westerly or north-westerly direction, are intended rather to benefit particular towns and districts, than to effect this object. The uresent railway accomplishes it to the utmost possible extent. - The line now proposed proceeds by the Leeds and Thirsk Railway (far :vitt& an Aet has been already obtained) up Wharfedale to Otley, ir2ttleivell, and Hawes, thence it passes through or near Kirby Stepheti and Appleby, uniting with the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway near pesuith. A branch from °Hey to Bradford will extend to that important town the advantages of the undertaking. Di comparison with the existing lines the Leeds and Carlisle Railway will effect a saving of more that! 6.417 miles ; and it is consitlerably shorter than any other projected lintf. - The great national and local importance of the Railway will be evident. It affords the shortest and most direct route befislea the manufac turing metropolis of Yorkshire and the commercial • Petropolis of Scotland; and through the medium of the railways whitdt MVO their termini in Glasgow and Edinburgh, the line will be conflieted with the several Scotch Trunk lines, extending from these cities tO the northern, western, and eastern counties. The traffic in goods between Leeds and Glasgow alone (independ ently of that with the other towns and ports in Scotland) is of a very 1 large amount ; cud the facilities afforded by the proposed line will , necessarily attract to the intermediate towns, and to Scotland gene -1 rally, the supply of goods from the manufacturing districts in York ' shire. The distance between Leeds and London will be very materially reduced by the lines already in progrete through Parliament, and the Leeds and Carlisle must necessarily form a portion of the Trunk Railway for the traffic between London and Scotland. The line will connect Hull and the Humber directly with the Sol way Firth, a mercantile object of very considerable impedance. . A new and cheap mode of transit will be obtained for the extensive agricultural produce of the rich vales through which the line passes, , 1 and which produce, et present, notwithstanding the demand in the , manufacturing districts cannot be forwarded to the different markets fOr want of railway communication. A large and profitable traffic will be derived from the produce of the extensive mineral districts ~ pened by the line. and the working of which has hitherto, in come instances, been rendered impracticable by the cost of transit, and In I -II has been greatly impeded. A survey has been made, sad the Parliamentary plans and sections Ire in progress, and the engineers have undertaken to have them ....ompleted in the course of next months, Applications for shares to be addressed to the solicitors, K. p, .look, Esq., 11, Tokenhouse-yard, I.othbury, and Messrs.

The important line of railway proposed by this Company will com mence at Tullamere, the assize town of King's County, where It will form a junction with the Great Western Railway of Ireland, proceeding by Frankford to Parsonstown, and from thence to and terminate at or near Portumna Bridge, in the county of Tipperary. The line will traverse a rich and populous country, and by its junc tion with the Great Southern and Western and the Dublin and Gal way ltailways, complete a chain of direct lines of railway between the metropolis of Ireland and the river Shannon, and afford the advantages of the improved system of intercommunication to en extensive district untouched by any existing or other projected. railway. This facility of intercommunication is imperatively demanded to connect the populous towns of Frankford, Kenniffy, Clonaslee, Pitr sonstown, Banagher, Eyrecourt, Cloghan, Ferbane, Shinrone, For tumna, and Borrisokane, with the city of Dublin on the east, and the port of Galway on the west, and the object will be effected by the construction of a direct line of railway, not exceeding 25 miles in length, passing through a country free from engineering difficulties, and avoiding competition with other lines. The large amount of traffic at present existing between Dublin and the towns in immediate connexion with the proposed line, with the great increase which must flow as a necessary consequence of the completion of the work, insure a highly remunerative return on the capital required to be embarked. A detailed prospectus will be issued on Tuesday.

The paramount importance of this railway is too obvious to require comment, and it is only necessary to state that four-fifths of the capi tal for the Duc de Caumont la Force's Company is already sub scribed in France. The remaining fifth has been reserved for England, and imme diate application for the shares is requisite.

Morning .. 59 minutes after 10 venmir of the astonished Governor. Upon the general contents of these we have not leisure or space, at present, to offer any commentary. It is, however, impossible not to remark, by the way, that for the life of us we cannot - see in what the offence of these civilians consists. If the authorities and their servants in all our other colonies, turned their money to no worse account, and devoted their leisure to no more objection able pursuits, than to purchase lands in those colonies, and to superintend their cultivation, we fancy that even the mis chievous ingenuity of Lord STANLEY'S administrative mis management would be neutralised. If public servants in our colonies, in addition to that average amount of common sense which does not seem necessarily to attach to those whom Lord STANLEY calls " their official superiors" at home, were at once practically conversant with, and personally interested in, the agriculture and husbandry of the regions in which they happened to be established; we rather believe that the very happiest consequences would follow. A few scions of our best aristocratic gentry, in the colonies—the trans planting of some such intelligent men of family and business and first-rate farmers as Mr. PUSEY, for example, the Pre sident of the ROYAL AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION—wouId not a little improve the transaction of Government business, and very largely advance the science of practical agriculture throughout the Government jurisdiction. Indeed, we are bold to believe that the settlement and example of one such individual, in a country so abundant in all mineral wealth and tropical products as Ceylon, would accomplish more for the interests of that flue island in ten years, than the continuance of Lord STANLEY In office, in Downing-street, could accomplish in a thousand. By a happy fatuity it is upon Ceylon that Lord STANLEY commences his experiments of official reform ; be cause no 'example can be adduced of a colony in which the mismanagement of the great officers of the Crown at home has been so signallycontrasted with the more sagacious treat ment extended to it by the servants of a commercial com pany, as this island of Ceylon. But let that pass for the present. It is imagined in Downing-street, that if gentlemen holding civil appointments there presume also to possess and look after estates on which they have coffee plantations, their attention must be mischievously distracted from the due discharge of their public duties. If the fine old hunting establishment at the Oaks were still maintained, and Lord 1 STANLEY himself were now out three times a week with his late grandfathei's bounds (as we have known him to be since he knew Downing-street), we are much mistaken if one word would have emanated from him, on this occasion, touching the incompatibility of official duties with the ordinary ma nagement of landed property. But those days of more in nocent and—we really must add—much more harmless excitement seem to have gone by for Lord STANLEY. His evil star will not permit him to leave well alone. He could not keep his fingers off New Zealand, but he first raised a poli tical blister on its'system in the shape of his chosen Governor, Captain Frrzuov ; and has since, in his efforts to reduce it, operated by such a counter-irritation as the encouragement afforded by his imbecile proceedings to the gentle HEEL. Ceylon was doing somewhat better than of late, when Lord STANLEY issues his fiat that civil servants holding landed estates there must dispose of them within two years. Why , my Lord ? Your accusation against the parties is not a posi tive one ; yon do not venture to tax them in terms with the specific offence of having neglected their public duty in look ing after their private property; for in a subsequent dispatch, alluding to the "incidental mention" you have found "in a letter, of several officers of the Government being constantly absent from the capital at their coffee plantations," your Lordship proceeds thus :—" I am happy to feel myself relieved from the necessity of inquiring into the truth or falsehood of this statement." Good. But why, then, act upon it precisely on the assumption that it is true? If you suppose it false, why inflict this arbitrary, this Oriental sentence of alienation of their property on the parties? If you are uncertain whether the statement be false or true, why deal with it exactly as you would if every tittle of it were affirmatively substantiated by your own con viction ? There is much of the characteristic irritability, precipitancy, and (we add, with pain) injustice of the Noble Secretary in this inconsistent proceeding. But let us look at what his Lordship's charges are, when they are re reduced into something less ambiguous than a Sybilline denunciation. His Lordship imputes to the gentlemen con nected with the Cingalese Civil Departments, " a low state of public feelitig." What, does he imagine the public at large, and the Conservative party in particular, think of the tone of his own public feeling, when it leads him to exhibit him self, for years together, in the leading-strings of a political nurse of no higher character than Sir J. Gnaliam? The civil servants are reproached further, " with a want of energy and proper pride." (Strike us " New. Zealand " and " Jamaica," out of -the failures recorded of official imbecility and disingenuous tampering, my Lord, and then, if you please, talk of " energy " and " proper pride.") They are reproved for being wanting in the zeal, without which ser vices cannot be advantageous to the people, or acceptable to the Government." What is his Lordship's construction of zeal? No reproath, for ought that he states, justly attaches to them for any defect of honest and even hearty intentions in the cause of their country. The feeling which engenders these intentions we respect as a generous zeal. But if Lord STANLEY quar rels with these gentlemen because they are not bigoted par tizans in all the movements of religious or political party — because they express themselves with temperance and moderation, and a solicitude for the feelings of others, instead of with ill dissembled resentment, vehement rashness, and a bitterness reckless of all the pain it may cause or the mis chiefs it may sow, we congratulate the gentlemen of Ceylon for having left behind them in England—even if Lord STANLEY should happen to have taken to it—such an unworthy and unstatesmanlike qualification. Intelligence has been received at Liverpool from Monte Video to the 10th of July. It appears from this that an ultimatum had been sent in on the previous day to ROW, demanding a categorical answer in 72 hours. On the after noon of the 10th this was confirmed to the British merchants by Mr. TURNER, the British Charge d'Affaires, who read to the Chairman of their Committee a dispatch from Mr. OUSELEY, dated the 9th of July, to the effect that " the Baron DEFFAUDIS and Mr. OUSELEY had finally demanded the withdrawal of the Argentine troops from before Monte Video, and the retirement of the Argentine squadron ;" that they also offered their mediation to the Monte Videan Government for the purpose of arranging a definitive peace between the two republics. The result remains to be seen, but it is not likely that ROSAS will continue to brave the power of England and France. By the arrival of the packet-ship Henry, we have ac counts from New York to the 6th inst. There is a good deal of discusssion, mixed with a little boasting, in the papers about a war with Mexico, and preparations are in progress for the anticipated contest. A call has been made on the Governor of Florida to furnish 800 men to go to Texas. The New Orleans papers give detailed accounts of the movements of the military in and for Texas, from which it appears that troops are fast gathering in that country for the purpose of opposing the Mexicans, and according to accounts from Vera Cruz, the Mexican troops, amounting to between 10,000 and 15,000 men, including a large proportion of cavalry, had received orders to march to the Texan frontier, and take their position ten leagues east, or on the Texan bank of the Rio del Norte. The domestic intelligence in the American papers is without much interest. The Caledonia steamer, which reached New York on the 4th inst., had brought out large orders for flour and corn. The cotton market was firm, with prices a shade higher, and the exchange on England at 9 3 / 4 to 10. The Madridjournals of the 19th are chiefly occupied with discussion's relative to the marriage of the QUEEN and her sister. According to most of them the most probable result will be the marriage of her MAJESTY with Prince FERDI NAND of Saxe Coburg, and that of the Infanta LOUISA with the Duke DE MONTPENSIER. The former is not a matter of very great importance, for from all accounts the QUEEN is of a very weakly constitution, but the other, should the report be well founded, ;will cause no little ex citement throughout Europe. It is one of Lon darling objects, and he seldom fails, The am tog% Beraldo, and some other journals, urge no okection against tilo mar riage, in fact advert to it with satisfaction ; and, probably, for a ",sufficient reason," it would be difficult, however, to reconcile Aastria, Russia, and Prussia, not to mentiott Great Britain, to such an alliance. Cie the Ulth ag business was done publicly on the Bourse, which is thus adverted to in a letter from Madrid : " The state of our Bourse is certainly curious ; but it dqes not 4ppear tp be well understood in foreign mtrin. As the official list proins nU footaliour, it is supposed that no business is done, and that our Funds have fallen to the ♦ery lowest point of degradation. This is quite a mistake; it is true that the Bourse of Madrid is ex ceedingly paralysed, but it is not exact that no operations take place. Business is done, but the account of it is not published," The v4lr l }ajaaanouace the return of another Con servative candidate to the Chamber of Deputies, M. DE BELLEYME, by the electoral college of Vendome. There were four candidates in the field—two Conservatives ; one belonging to the Left, aiati the fctuTtil k,gitimgist, At the first §OOlY -0q lopneV 7 lArttely, M. DE BELLEYME and M. DIOAAIGNES, were highest on the poll, but as neither had an absolute majority, a second contest took place, when M.

According to some of the jour nals, Marshal BUGEAUP having been got rid of by the Go vernment, a new system will be adopted in the management of Algeria, by which the supreme control will rest with the Ministry, and no longer be virtually given up to the military gpyempc. OR subject the .fre4se f` flithertp the a4'airs of that colony have been exclusively Under the control of the Minister of War, and consequently the Governor of Algeria has been necessarily under the War depart ment the arbitrary dispenser of power, and the sole administrator. All this is to be speedily changed by the French' Government in general, and not the Minister of War exclusively, taking it into its bands, according to its respective departments, the administration of the colony, and treating it as It does the departments of the in terior, each Minister hgaing his speCial control over the lyartches which regard his office.

It is said the King will not remain much longer at Eu, but that his Majesty and the Royal Family will reside at St. Cloud for some time before they take up their residence at the Tuileries for the winter. The Duke de Montpensier is expected home before 'the 6th of next month, in order that he may be present at the family fete on the occasion of the anniversary of the King's birth-day. The Duke d'Aumale arrived at Rouen on Wednesday morning, and immediately proceeded to Eu. " The State Gazette of Lucerne gives an account of a Congress held on the 15th and 16th instant at Zug, of fifty-seven of the most distinguished Catholic inhabitants of the thirteen Catholic cantons; 'at which,' says that journal, all deelared themselves ready to sacrifice their lives and properties in defence of their faith, against the attacks at present made on it.' They also unani mously declared that, while exacting every guarantee for the rights of the confessional, and the free exercise of their own wor ship, they would not in any wise infringe on the rights of the Pro testants.' "On Wednesday, about two o'clock, Antoine, the man who mur. dered Lieutenant Aubree, was seen, by a corporal of the same re giment, crossing the Place d'Armes at Versailles. The alarm was given, and he was immediately pursued, but before hands could be laid on him, he took a pistol from his pocket and blew his brains out.

That he will be returned by the Livery to the Court of Aldermen by a triumphant majority, as he always has been, there can be no doubt; and we are at a loss to conceive what reason the Court of Aldermen can give for rejecting him. We shall, dpubtless, be told of his connexion with the Talacre Company, and the dangerof disgraceto the City from the fact of one whose liabilities, as connected with that Company, are so great occupying the Civic chair. This argument has been used with powerful effect on former occasions. It is, however, now perfectly inapplicable. We have reason to know that Mr. Alderman Wood has discharged every liabi lity to which he was subjected in consequence of his con nexion with the Talacre Company; that he has a legal dis charge from every creditor of that Company who had any legal claim upon him ; and that Sir Peter Laurie himself is in quite as much danger from the creditors of the Talacre Coal Company as Mr. Alderman Wood. Is it because be embarked in that speculation that he is to be considered as an improper person to hold the highest civic office? Let the other "most potent, grave, and reverend seignors" of the Court of Aldermen beware ! How many of them hold shares in various joint-stock companies at the present moment? Do they consider themselves disqualified thereby; or is it only when shares are at a discount that the holder of them is " not to be endured?" We are' obliged to make these "guesses" in the dark at: the cause of the pertinacious rejec tion, by the Court of Aldermen, of the claims of Mr. Alder man Wood, because, although his opponents have dealt freely in insinuations and inuendois, they have been very chary in making distirct charges. Whenever they have ventured to do so those charges have been invariably met and refuted. By his legal acquirements Alderman Wood is exactly suited for the office of Chief Magistrate of the City of Lon don, and that is most probably the reason why the Court of Aldermen reject him. How else can we account for those straining at Mr. Alderman Wood who could gulp down Gibbs, the "unaccountable." His Royal Highness Prince Albert arrived in town this morning, by a special train of the Great Western Railway, and attended a meeting of the Duchy of Cornwall-office, in Somerset House. The Prince lunched at Buckingham Palace, and in the afternoon took his departure on his return to Windsor Castle ? LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(T HIS DAY.) LONDON, SEPT. 27.—Wind S.S.

CARRIER PIGEON EXVRESSEIa —On Sunday after noon last, Mr. Dayica, one of the ushers at Lambeth Police court, while in his garden at Camberwell, observed a pigeon at a considerable height hovering about and flying to and fro, as if at a loss to find its way. The bird was at such an altitude at the time that he thought it almost impossible to bring it down. He, however, fired at it from a powerfulgon, and in an instant it fell close tst A* feet, Upon examining the bird, which is px1e4 . 04 is commonly called the skinner kind, he foinid a neatly cut slip of parchment tied to its leg, on one side of which there were W.

This important line of railway is intended to commence at a point in the Tean and Dove Valley Railway, at or near to Snareston, and to extend to Leicester. It will thus furnish a link necessary for carrying on the traffic brought to Leicester by means of the South Midlands, the Bedford, and the Peterborough Railways (all of which terminate at or near Leicester), to the Staffordshire Potteries and the great towns of Lan cashire and Cheshire, and complete an unbroken line of railway, by the best and nearest practicable route, from the various important railway terrniul at Leicester to Manchester and Liverpool. This great line of railway, it will be observed, traverses the finest coal-fields in the country, and embraces the towns of Burton-upon- Trent, Uttoxeter, Cheadle, Leek, Macclesfield, Lane End, Stoke upon-Trent, and Newcastle-under-Lyme, and the important and rapidly-increasing potteries of Swadlincote and Gresley, as well as those of Staffordshire. An inspection of the map will show that the junction line now proposed is essential for the accommodation of the public, and it can not fail to be exceedingly remunerative to the proprietors. The undertaking has the cordial support of the Tean and Dove Valley Railway Company. In the allotment of shares preference will be given to Shareholders iu that Company. and to parties locally interested in the line. The omit it of the Company will be 300,0001., divided into 15,000 shares of 201. each i a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid on al lotment, and each original subscriber must execute the usual Parlia mentary and Subscription Contract, or his shares will be forfeited. Copies of the prospectus and map may be had from the Secretary and Solicitors; and applications for shares must be made to the Secretary only, accompanied by a reference to a member of the Pro visional Committee, a banker, or to one of the solicitors of the Company. Shareholders in the Tean and' Dove Valley Railway who apply will please to state the number of &area they hold in that Company. Burton-upon4"rent, Sept. 18, 1846.

This line will traverse a rich and populous district, as yet perfectly untouched by any railway undertaking. The vast importance of the project will be readily understood by the most cursory reference to the position and statistics of the several counties through which the proposed lines will pass. The county of Leitrim is at this moment in process of be towing the rival /bust many other counties in Ireland, and /b . 4yantages It ust derive from the operations of the Signion eanmissions are obvious. The River Shannon has heretofore been An utterly neglected medium of communication between the internet districts of the country; and, as regards tins elesiderelmn has not been supplied by any railway project w ile Leitrim and CaYant of and by the shortest and Most direct Dundalk, in the county ever. prepAsta hue will commence at course imaginable, will traverse ati.. 4 connect the counties of Louth, Cavan, Leitrim, Roscommon, and Sligo, 2 , 1 ,1.1:ken the communication between the port of Sligo in the west, and Dundalk !II the east. The abandonment of the Great North - Western Line, consequent !mon the report of the Board of Trade of .the Kells Branch not having I.).!eti ceded to the Dublin and Belfast Junction Company, by reason of its not being a national adjunct to the latter line, leaves at this PM/WA the whole of the county of Meath utterly devoid of any railway 4f/A munication with the adjoining counties. The projected line will pass in its direct course within twenty miles of li-kids, and the branch to that town, which it is in contem plation to construct, will pass the important towns of Balieborough and Virginia, Kells and Trim, forming a junction with the Mullin gar line at Longwood. The traffic tables of the Great North Western exhibit the largest sectlon of the trade to exist between the above-mentioned w, m s ed an t d o be the m pr u o c tl h t g n re p t o tt n er tbe tha n u n on dert u a te k p in r g op m os u ed st ~`spsequeutly be Greiff North Western line.
