By the by, I have not toll you who were in charge of our boats. They were Hr r vey and Pym. Other strange things have occurred ; two or three days after we left Booby Island, two ship wrecked orews arrived there within a few hours of each other, they saw the letters we had left, and one party was not long in following our example, and you may judge of our surprise, and that of the other good folks at Port F.sington. on perceiving a large boat with evidently a khipw reel( ecl crew in her, come spanking up the h arbour. They told us a large party were still on Booby Island, and while I write there is a schooner coming into port full of people, most likely the very party. The names of the two vessels wrecked are the Hyderabad aed Coringa, Packet. The most melancholy event is connected with the latter vessel; she was wrecked on a reef encircling a sand bank, some hundred: of miles outside the Barrier reef, and never before seen. Her boats were not able to bring all the crew, so 22 (all sepo) s) were left behind on the sand bank. They have provisions enough left with them to last six months with proper economy, but their s'tuation is certainly not an enviable one. Per haps it will be a job for the Prince George to pick them off, but the sandbank is directly in the wind's-eye from this, and it will be a hard tug to get there. The two wrecked crews now in Port Essington (;or this schooner proves to have the remainder from Booby Island on board) are 76 in nurnbcr. making with our boats' crew and officers, a total number of 91 British subjects, a cir cumstance which of itself shows the value of this esta blishment even as a place of refuge alone.

On the 27th of March last, Mme. Sauval, a widow in the 88th year of hi•r age, living at Petit-Montrouge, was found dead in her apartment, with a severe wound on the back of her head, and other contusions and and bruises about her person, which led to a suspicion that she had been murdered. She resided in an apart ment of the house of a married man with two children, named Saulnier, a clerk in the Marie of the Ist at ron dissernent of Paris, who, in consideration of I,ooofr. paid by her to him, granted her an annuity of 100£ a year, which was paid by him partly in giving her the apartment at the rate of 60f. a year, although it was well worth 2501. per annum, and in regularly handing to her the remaining 40f. in cash. The Saulnier family, who were very old friends of the deceased, were her only attend ants, as she had no servant, and also supplied her gratuitously with fruit or vegetables from their gar den. They, however, bad every reason to believe that they would be more than remunerated by her will, as she was known to have at her disposal some little property de rived from her savings. This interest in her death and the other circumstances we are about to relate, first induced a suspicion that she had been murdered by Madame Saul nier, at the instigation, or at least with the knowledge and connivance, of her husband. They were arrested, exami nations were taken, and, finally, they were committed to take their trial for wilful murder, which commenced on Friday last before the Court of Assizes, and was con tinued till Sunday night. The prosecution was con ducted by M. Glandaz, the Advocate-General, and the prisoners were defended by Messrs. Creanieux and Blot- Duquesne. The facts and circumstances on which the accusation was founded and supported were, in addition to the known interest the prisoners had in the death of Mme. Sauval, that about ten on the morning of the fatal day, Mme. Sauval went out of her apartment into the village, and bought some salad and a bundle of wood, which latter purchase a lad carried home immediately afterwards, and sawed into pieces in her presence in her dining-room, and then left her ; since which time she was not seen outside of her door, nor was any stranger 'seen to euter her apartment. About half-past two o'clock Mme. Saulnier sent :her daughter, a girl twelve years old, up to Mine. Sauval, who lived on the first floor, to thread ber needle according to custom, and asked whether she wanted anything, but although the girl knocked so loud that some of the other tenants came out of their rooms to inquire what was the matter, no answer was given by Mme. Sauval, nor did her little dog bark, as it usually did on such occasions. At five o'clock her girl, Esther Saulnier was sent up again, made the same noise, but still without any answer. Soon afterwards, Mme. Saulnier went down to the porter, and requested him to come and see what had happened to Mme. Sauval, as she, Mine. Saulnier, could perceive through a window that she was lying on the floor of her dining-room. Having received from Mine. Saulnier a second key of Mme. Sauval's outer door, which she always kept that she might enter when she pleased, Lereux the porter went in and found the poor old woman lying lifeless, but still warm, on the floor of the dining-room, with her head against a chest of drawers in a small pool of blood, which had issued from a wound at the back of the skull. Mine. Saulnier took no steps whatever on hearing this report from Lereux, but waited till the return of her husband, who went to the proper authori ties to give the usual notice of the death, preparatory to the interment, but as he stated the circumstances of the case, the magistrate caused a regular inquest to be taken. The medical man called in to make the autopsy of the body reported that the death must have been caused by blows with a blunt instrument, for, independent of the wound in the head, there were other injuries about the per son, which not only proved this, but showed that the de ceasecle had made some resistance. In various parts of the apartment were found money, and securities for money, and also a small quantity of plate, in situations evidently chosen by the deceased, nor was there the slightest tokens of any robbery having been committed. There were no marks of blood on the face, or any other part of the person or clothes of the deceased, nor even upon the cap, which was found on her head, and, there fore, on the conviction of a murder having been perpe trated, it was presumed that the guilty person had changed the dress of the deceased after the deed was done, having first washed away all the blood, which must have been shed on the floor, except the compara tively small quantity that was near the bead, and then laid the body in the position in which it was found, in order to give the idea that Mine. Sauval had dropped down in a fit, and killed herself by striking her head against the drawers. It was reported that the deceased had shown discontent at being so far from her friends in Paris, and intimated an intention to remove, and this was imputed to the Saulniers as an additional motive for their cruel act, fearing that her Paris friends might induce her to alter ber will, and thus deprive them of the benefit they expected from it. It was further declared that the statement of Mine. Saulnier that she had seen the deceased lying on the floor of her dining-room was false, as it was, from the situation of the two apartments, impossible. n the course of the cross-examination of the eitnesses much of this presumptive evidence was completely rebutted, and much rendered at least very doubtful. On the part of the prisoners it was shown that none of the clothes of the deceased, supposed to have been worn by her when killed, had been found, nor could there be traced the slightest bruise or scratch on the person of Mme. Saulnier, from the struggle which the medical men stated must have taken place when the deed was dente nor the emallest spot of blood upon any of the garments of Mine. Saulnier which she had on at the time ; nor was it attempted to be proved by any evi dence that she had quitted her own apartment from the time when Mme. Sauval returned with the wood till the discovery of her death. Mine. Saulnier accounted for her not giving her daughter the second key, to go into the deceased's apartment, by affirming that this key was never used but when Mine. Sauval was too ill to come and open the door herself. It was further proved that the de ceased was liable to fits, had fallen down in them before, and had been kindly and attentively nursed by Mme. Saulnier. A number of witnesses gave most excellent characters to both the prisoners, and the notary, who made the deceased's will, distinctly deposed that, whatever they might have expected, neither the Saulniers nor any one else knew the dispositions she had made of her pro perty, and that wh .t she did give to that family was for the children, and not to either of the parents. Notwith standing the evidence for the prosecution was so much weakened and shaken, the Advocate-General strenuously insisted in his requisitory that the case was proved, and called for the conviction of both prisoners. The counsel for M. and Mine. Saulnier exerted themselves with great zeal and judgment in their behalf throughout the arduous proceedings of three long successive days, and delivered most eloquent addresses to the jury. The pleadings and summing up of the President were not concluded till half-past ten o'clock on Sunday night, when the jury retired, and after remaining half an hour, returned and delivered a verdict of Not Guilty in favour of both prisoners upon every count of the indictment.— Galignani.

The imperative necessity, alike in a social, commercial, or political point of view, for drawing as closely together as possible the capitals of England and Ireland, has suggested the tbrmation of the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway,--a line, the value of which it is difficult to over estimate, since it will be found to take a nearly direct course from the English metropolis to Holyhead. It will pass through or near the populous and noble county town of Shropshire (as yet unprovided with railway communication), and will traverse along its whole extent districts second in wealth, re sources, trade, and commerce, to none in the empire ; bring them more nearly and immediately in contact with London and Dublin, than has hitherto been thought possible. This project is wholly in dependent of any other line already before the public, and as it possesses national advantages which none can surpass, must, when carried out, become, without exception, the most important railway in Great Britain. One of the first objects of this Company will be to obtain a most central and accessible terminus in London, and Farringdon-street has been fixed upon for that purpose. _ It is proposed to makes, tunnel from that point to the Great Western ; I station, from whence the line will be continued in as direct a course as possible to liolyhead In its progress it will pass through or near to the following towns: — Riclunans . .vorth, Chesham, Wonderer, and Aylesbury; it will then proceed to within a short distance of Bicester and Deddington, and from thence to Banbury ; it will touch upon Kineton or Kingtown, thence proceed onward to Strarord-on-Avon, approach within a short distance of Warwick, Alcester, and Worcester, where it will cross the Birmingham and Gloucester Railroad near to Bromsgrove, and proceeding thence to Kidderminster, Bridgnorth, and Wenlock, near to Broseley and Coalbrookdale, will enter the Vale of the Severn, which It will traverse to Shrewsbury; It will thence con tinue its route up the course of the Severn, and passing into the Vale of the River Vyruwy, will proceed to Lian-y-mynech, Llandrhaladr, and Mochnant, accommodating Welchpool, Oswestry, and Llangollen. At this point there are three passes, which have been inspected, and it remains for the engineer to select one as an entrance or passage into the Vale of the River Dee, when the line will proceed round by Corwen into the Vale of the River Aiwen, from whence it will ran nearly parallel with the great Holyhead hail-coach -road, by Pentre voclas to Capel Cerrig, it will then descend the Vale of Kant Francon o Bangor and Holyhead. This line will in its progress feed, and be also fed by the most consi siderable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, and Bistol ; te Oxrd, Worcester, and Wolverhampton ; the London anti Birmingham h ;and the South Staffordshire Railway. As this last line will connect Dudley, Bilston, Wednesbury, Walsall, and Lichfield with the Derby Railway and the Grand Junction Railway, it would be superfluous to expatiate on the advantages of bring ing all these important centres of the coal and iron trade and other traffic, and the vast coal and iron fields of Shropshire into close intercourse, and thus establishing the cheapest and quickest means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and the furnages of Staffordshire, and the markets of Dublin, London, and Birmingham. The• success of the undertaking is secured beyond a doubt, by the obvious fact that it will not only bring the richest mineral and manufacturing portions of England much nearer to the two capitals, but it will open for the carriage of the valuable pro duce of these districts the intermediate country not at present pos sessed of any direct line of railway communication. On the other hand, the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway rirl give to London ant the neighbourhood of Birmingham a route to Dublin shorter by nearly seventy miles than that of any other exist ing railroad ; and finally, enable travellers to complete the entire distance in ten hours. It will also ensure two mail deliveries in the day. Up to the point where the line approaches Corwen, no engineering difficulties are presented. At Corwen a deviation from the straight line may be requisite to avoid tunnelling, after which a straight line will be resumed to Bangor, where that already in construction will be adopted for the rest of the route to Holyhead ; or, if found de sirable, power will be taken in the Bill to continue an independent line by Beaumaris to Holyhead, After a careful investigation of the traffic arising from passengers, the conveyance of mineral and agricultural produce, and the direct transmission of the mails, the Directors le,' warranted in anticipating a return of at least ten per cent. on the capital invested. A treaty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run powerful steamers between the harbours of Holyhead and Kingston on the arrival of the trains, so that passengers and merchandise may be booked throughout from London to Dublin, including all the inter mediate stations, and be thus enabled to complete the entire distance in ten hours, without the inconvenience so painfully felt of changing from the conveyance of ens proprieta-y to that of another. The railways now in active pr. gress in Ireland, running from Dublin north and south throughout the heart of the island, render it self evident that the chain of communLation between the sister countries is, by this present undertaking, rendered at once complete and intimate to the last degree. As the leading aim of this Company is to save time and distance, every attention of the Directors, and every advancement in science will be made available to gain the utmost possitqle amount of speed, com patible with safety, the lines being formed expressly for this end ; while, finally, the very lowest rate of fares will be adopted fur both passengers and traffic, and the public will tied in the improvement of the Inferior carriages, and some additional comforts for those of the first (lass, that the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Rail way will be placed in advance of any other now existing, and in all its details will be rendered worthy an enterprise ao national in its character. Application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the next session. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per annum on the amount of the subscriptions paid up ; and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription.

The Directors of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway Company, having completed the whole of their arrange ments, and having been compelled to refuse at least three-fourths of the applications for shares in their line, have had their attention forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the station on the Great Western Railway, by which the most direct and remunerative con nexion will be formed between Southampton and Manchester. The advantages, in point of speed, to be derived from the broad gauge, as also tile superiority of the gradients obtained by the route of the Valey of the Avon, together with the importance of placing the city of Salisbury on the main trunk line Rom the north to South ampton, must insure to this undertaking the sanction of the Legis lature and the local support of tile towns and districts through which the line will pass. Besides for - ming a direct communication with the great manufac turing towns in the north, the Salisbury and Swindon Extension will make a complete line of railway between Southampton, Salisbury, and all parts of North and South Wales. After most mature deliberation, the Directors have resolved to re commend to their shareholders and the public the immediate carry ing out of a railway to effect the above object, which will be most desirable as a completion to their own line, and highly advantageous in a pecuniary sense and on public grounds. They have directed all the necessary saryeys to be made, so as to apply to Parliament in the ensuing maim, at the same time as the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway, with a view to the ultimate amal gamation of both lines under one management. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the holders of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares, as also to parties locally interested, due regard being at the same time had to public interest ; and every original shareholder in that line. may, on production of his scrip certificate, receive an allotment of a similar number of Salisbury and Swindon Extension shares. . The holders of Great Western, and of Wilts, Somerset, and Wey mouth shares, will also have a preference. Applications may be made, in the following form, to the Previsions; Committee, at the Offices of the Company, 26, Gresham-street, the Solicitors, the local agents, or to the principal brokers is town and country.

This important line will commence at Brighton, and (passing through or contiguous to the towns of Steyning, Petworth, burst, Petersfleld and Airesford) will join at the Andover Road sta tion of the South-Western Railway, the proposed Southampton Manchester and Oxford Junction. An arrangement has been entered into with the latter Company, and it is prorosed by means of their projected line, that the Brighton and Cheltenham Railway shall proceed through Hunger ford to Swindon. From Peterslield a shot branch will be made to Chichester where, nearly at the same point of junction, the London and Ports mouth direct will intersect the line in its way to Portsmouth. From Sw.ndon it is proposed to proceed by the Manchester and Southampton Railway to Chelt nham, and the North of England by the Derbyshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire Junction, or other existing and contemplated lines. On reference to the map, it will be seen that the primary object to be obtained by the formation of this line will be the immediate connexion of the northern, western, arid the whole of the manufac turing counties, and North and South Wales, with the southern coast and the populous and fashionable towns of Brighton, Hastings, and Dover. It is unnecessary to observe on the daily increasing traffic between Brighton and Dieppe, which the railroad from the latter place to Rouen, and thence to Paris, must greatly augment; thus, by means of the projected line, a direct communication with France, either from Brighton or Dover, will be opened with the northern counties of England. It is obvious that with these advantages the traffic must neces sarily be large, the line passing through the centre of Sussex, con taining a population of about 300,000, at present almost devoid of railway accommodation. Power will ke applied for in the Act to increase the capital, f necessary, to alter the line, or to make such deviations or branches therefrom as may be deemed necessary ; also for the purposes of amal gamation with other Companies, should the same be found desirable. The Company reserves to itself the option of adopting the broad or narrow gauge, or the principle of atmospheric traction, if preferable. No further call beyond the deposit will be made until the Act shall be obtained. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to parties locally interested, and to the shareholders in the lines with which this Company will be connected. Application for shares may be made to the Secretary, and to the following Sharebrokers, of whom prospectuses, with maps of the line, may be obtained:—London—Messrs.
