(Provisionally Registered.) PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT. The object of this Company is to sapply the jnhabitants of the southern, and a portion of the northern, districts of the metropolis with the pure water of the River Wandle, in lieu of that which they at present derive throagh the established Companies from the Thames, contaminated as it is by the sewerage of the whole metropolis. The Elver Wandle rises at Croydon, and falls into the Thames at Wandsworth. The water will be taken from the mouth of the river, thus avoiding compensation to the millowners and others on the stream. • This river will be preserved uncontaminated by means of a series of sewers cc nstructed along Its course, into which every impurity now finding its way into the stream will be turned, and flow direct into the Thames. By this mode a pure supply of wate%, exceeding in the driest season 27,000,000 gallons daily, or more than four tires the quantity supplied by the present Companies on the south side, will he secured to this Company. This project, which is of real and undoubted importance, will com mand a most profitable return on the outlay, and confer a b,ou on the immense population of the districts in question.

All applicants not receiving letters of allotment must not consider that their applications were overlooked, but that the great demand for Shares over and above the number to be allotted necessarily prevented their being granted. The Committee are happy to be able to inform their Subscribers that nearly the whole of the landowners along the line have promised their appport, and that they have also secured the co-operation of many influential local gentlemen. These advantages, coupled with the intrinsic merits of the under- , taking, lead the Committee confidently to anticipate a successful result to their application to Parliament next session.

This railway will proceed from York to Lancaster (about 72 miles) by the most direct practicable-route, and pass near Knaresborough, ilarrowgate, Long Preston, Settle, and many other important places. The counties of York and Lancaster comprise a populat io n of 3,500,000 persons, and are!perhap.s the most wealthy an d p o p ulo us divisions of the kingdom. The roads between York and L anca ster are mostly carried over the tops of hills, and, in winter , are nearl y impassable ; this line will pass along the valleys, and t he j ourn ey , now rarely made, by coach, within twelve hours, may be performed, on the railway, In two hours and a half. It will provide facilities of access to all the great manufacturing, mining, and agricultural districts of the north of England, to the Isle of Man, Ireland, Scotland, and 3Vales ; to Hamburgh, by connecting Morecambe Bay and Fleetwood Harbour on the west coast with the port of Hull on the cast coast; to the lakes of Westnioreland and Cumberland; 'to Harrogate, celebrated for its unrivalled sulphur, mineral, and chaiybeate springs ; and to the important intermediate districts between York and Lancaster. which abound with valuable minerals, and raise vast quantities of live stock and agricultural pro duce. Many places near the intended course of the line are known to possess inexhaustible supplies of lead; iron, slate, limestone, fre e _ stone, and other. useful minerals, but these arc now comparatively unavailing, from the great cost of coals and carr ia g e. The r ailway will rapidly develop these sources ofprosperity ,b y introducin g co als at a low price, and providing cheap carriage for mineral produce of every kind ; it will, also thrnish a most desirable means of t ransit for passengers and merchandise to and from e ver y p art of the king dom, and a cheap conveyance for immense q uantities of l i v e stock and agricultural produce from tho rural to the Manufacturing and mining districts. Many completed and projected railways will intersect this line, and greatly facilitate traffic and intercourse in every direction; with the Directors of these railways, and of various others which have a station at York or Lancaster, the Committee will endeavour to make arrangements likely to prove mutually bene ficial, and they have much pleasure in stating that the landowners along the line are extremely favourable to the tll2ir undertalchni, anti Ml= gilder it will materially augment the Ve h le Of possessions and prove advantageous to the country and the s h a reholders. It has beets fully ascertained that th e Proposed line presents but p cniirSe, Tint few engineering difficulties, and that , a ltho ugh it will pass through ' some very hilly districts, it May be constructed along v a ll e y s , Ra d with favourable gradients OWoughoat nearly its elltir liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Aet, of Parliament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power Will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at four per cent, per 113111:1111 041 all calls, from the passing of the Act to tile ejleehig of tila No, Applications for shares may be aadreaSed, In the Nan annexed, to the under-mentioned brokers, v iz. t Mcs•rs.

Just published, in large 12m0., price 6s. 6d., handsomely and strongly bound, A. DICTIONARY of the ENGLISH LAN GUAGE, containing the Pronunciation, Etymology, and Explanation of all Words authorised by eminent Writers ; to which are added, a Vocabulary of the Roots of English Words, and an Accented List of Greek, Latin, and Scripture Proper Names. By ALEXANDER REID, A.M., Rector of the Circus-place School, Edinburgh, Author of" Rudiments of English Composition," &c. In this Work, to which the Author has devoted the labour of se veral years, an attempt has been made to compile a School Dic tionary adapted to the present state of the English language, and to the improved methods of teaching. It contains every word which has been sanctioned by the use of eminent authors, except such as have inicome obsolete, or are merely technical. While 'the usual alphabetical arrangement is preserved, the words are at the same time 'grouped in sueh a manner as to show their etymological affinity • and afterthe first word of each group, is given the root from which they are derived. These roots are afterwards arranged into a Vocabulary; so that the Dictionary may be used either for refertnice, or for teaching Derivation. The Pronunciation, which is indicated by a simple notation, is that of 'Walker, unless when the latter differs from prevailing usage, or from the majority of compe tent authorities. The Classical and Scripture Proper Names are printed in one list, and are divided into syllables, and accented as they ought to be pronounced. l'arrlc.—" It is one of the most valuable contributions to the school-room, and to the library also, which we have yet seen."

MEETING OF MR. MIALL'S FRIENDS. Another meeting was held at the Bee Hive, Warn er _ street, Dover-road, to hear an address from. Mr. Miall in exposition of his political principles, Mr. Apiley L'ellat in the Chair. Mr. MIALL was received with great cheers on rising to address the meeting. He begg e d to remind those present who were really friendly to his cause that they could do him no greater harm than in attending meet ings of the other candidates and opposing their proceed ings, thereby stilling free discussion. He earnestly entreated that no friends of his would act in this foolish manner, but allow each candidate a fair ana capaid, hearing, and afterward 4 refute their arguments, not by noise, hut by argument. A report had gone abroad that Sir William Molesworth's Committ-e had opened thirty public-houses with a Note blancheblanche to his sup porters. If that wein true, every gentleman ors the Committee should wash his hands of a cause that required such base means to support it. He did not want a single vote that was obtained by mistak* or coercion. He would advort to another point. He found among what was yelled the more respectable part of the constituency that there was a n outcry aga i nst hi m on account of his extreme political sentiments, and it had been alleged against him as a crime that M. Feargua O'Connor had issued an address in his favour. He (Mr. Miall) was Paz ashamed of any rasa so long as his principles were just. Even though the limes, Morn ing Ast, and the whelp Tory press conspired against him, that would not is the slightest manner affect his political sentiments. Although he was in favour of the principles of the people'a charter, he was not to be identified with the violence with which certain ?miles had enforced their views , . These parties lre s d done more injury to the cause of rational liln.7ty than all other adverse circumstances. Aft .r. keterring to several other topics usually taken up by the Hon. Gentivaisn, he concluded his address. amidst loud cheer& Mr. Mvi,wit then moved the usual resolution, that Mr. Mail was h fit and proper person to represent the borough in. Parliament. Tto motion was swoacied by Mr. Robson, and eller remarks from Mr. Mavrifird and Mr. Eastwick, it was. put, and oarrled with bilt one dissentient. The meeting, which was a very crowded one, tinny persons not being able to obtain admission, then separated. THE CURRENCY QUESTION. A WORD UPON A MEASURE OF VALUE.. (Fttom A CORRESPONDENT.) To food, the chief necessary of life and support of labour, we should, for obvious reasons, look for a mea sure of value, fur the value of the products of industry vary generally in the ratio of the labour bestowed upon them in their being prepnred for market. But a meet, sure of value composed of food is inconvenient, and zoit well adapted to facilitate the interchange of the products of the earth ; it has, therefore, been found.nee.:ssary to, use symbols or tokens of value ; such symbols or tuketm may, however, be vi orthless, intrinsically ; th e i r v ,0,„ being simply conventional ; as in the instance of }oink: notes and Exchequer-bills of the present day, and al the instance of Exchequer tallies of wood in ferAee periods. To avoid, in future, the great mischief l in a m i ser y occasioned by tampering with the currere-iy, the follow ing sug g esti o n ma y afford a method of Its adjustment to the conditions of an increasing •• t , ac quent increasing commercial o ulation, and conse 'transptions, to which, in the opinion of very many our monetary system is not production of f t -,. adapted. Fo r i n - the event of a failure in our own home Ju, the great st a pl e commo di t y o f t h e country, or Other disturbing cause, alarming mischief, it is a " - .nended, will ensue ; some few w ou ld b e enr i c h e d .• tie expense of the . very many, composing the pro ducing classes, who would be impoverished. Upon the principle of the Tithe Commutation let us then proceed. Suppose, at the time of the tithe commu tation the relation of value then subsisting between wheat, barley, and oats, each a definite quantity on the one side, and a pound (our unit of money measure) on tit other side, was Just in regard to debtor and creditor, payer and receiver ; we have thence based upon mea sures of food a token of .value denominated a pound. Having a token, or symbol, of value, the pound, de pending upon definite measures of food ; the pound, food and population may be regarded as functions each of the other. The tithe commutation was based upon the average prices of three different articles of food, wheat, barley, and oats, during the seven years preceding its enactment. Now, during that period the quantity of wheat, barley, and oats consumed ; the amount, also, of coin and bank notes in circulation, by which prices were, during the same period, mainly governed ; and the amount of popu lation fed, can, with sufficient accuracy, be obtained to aftbrd a tolerably correct knowledge of the relations subsisting between food, money, and population. - Upon such data let a paper currency be based. Let one pound notes take the place of sovereigns which, it is proposed, to withdraw and deposit for commercial pur poses. Let every bank of issue deposit in the Treasury ample securities for the amount of their issues, that is, before any bank can be supplied with stamped paper for its notes securities must have been deposited ; and when notes are worn out, and no longer fit 'for issue, they must be returned by the bankers to the Treasury, before stamped paper can be supplied to them for new ones. But this is a matter of detail. Bank-nott s to be convertible into gold at its market price, such price being daily stated in the public papers, as in the manner of the prices of Stock. As the population increases the issue of notes should be increased, governed, however, by the state of the prices of food. For the object in view is to maintain steady prices ; and if it should be found that prices upon an average of preceding years be declining, and the ratio of food and populatidn unchanged, it would show that the issue of notes should be increased ; and if the conditions be contrary, it would indicate an excess of issue. The issues of stamped paper for notes should then be contracted till the required relations betweeti food and money be restored. A pound, at any future period would, under such arrangement, purchase about the same quantity of food, and be exchangable for about the same amount of labour as at the time of the Tithe Commutation. Judging from the past and present, it is not probable that the exchange of labour for food will be sensib l y dis turbed ; that is, the working classes will no t be ena bled to obtain more food for their labour at a future period than at the time of the Tithe Commutation, fur the increased produce of food will only be as the in crease of population. The Quarterly dividends and salaries to be paid by. Exchequer-notes, in anticipation of the quarter's reve nue, such notes to be redeemed when the quarter's re venue shall have been collected. By such an arrange ment the amount of currency in circulation for the or dinary transactions of dealing would not be disturbed.

Peel's Bill has accomplished. The suggestion offered is under a supposition that there will be no increase of indirect taxes ; and that in the event of being compelled to war, the current ex penses of the year will be defrayed by a di feet and.** modified income-tax. Sept. 1, 1845. J.ll. THE IMPROVEMENTS 1N THE TOWER.—The portant improvements now going on in this fortress are pro gressing more rapidly. The new Waterloo barracks, whleh are to be upwards of three hundred feet in length, are consi derably above the foundation, and in some parts even as high as the first story. The demolition of the present entrance, the spur gate, barracks, warders' hall, &c., will not be proceeded with until the garrison is completed. In the course of yester day several ancient and valuable relics were added to the grand armoury. Amongst them were two superb complete suits of Asiatic chain armour, formed of copper, steel, and brass. Also a shield of the sixteenth century, of considerable value, pur chased by the Board of Ordnance, representing the siege of Nantes in 1477, and the death of the Duke of Burgundy. There have also been added two cross bows, rescued form the , wreck of the Mary Rosa, sunk at Spithead 250 years Dittoes which are in an excellent state of preservatioi. , :t - oddi• ,~ , i - - ‘'-,-._ - i ~ , >!‘
