THE ITALIAN and AUSTRIAN , RAILWAY COMPANY. £2,454,191 13 6 The Directors have the satisfaction to inform the Proprietors that they have succeeded in obtaining from His Royal Highness the grand Duke of Tuscany, in preference to twenty-two competitors, a grant foi sixty years, of a railway from Florence to Pestoja, on terms highly advantageous to the Company. This line presents no engineering difficulty, and passes through a district densely populated, and rich in mineral and agricultural productions, and will be connected with the railway already in operation between Leghorn and Pisa, by means of the line now forming from Pisa to Florence. The capital will consist of 8,000,000 of Tuscan livres, equal to about 265,0001. sterling, one third of which has been already subscribed for in Tuscany, and the Directors have secured the remaining two-thirds, which will be dis tributed, so soon as the necessary documents have been perfected in Italy, to such holders of the Italian and Austrian Railway Company's shares as shall have complied with the terms of the advertisement, by which a call was made of 21. per share, payable on the 21st July Instant. Under the original prospectus the Directors were authorised to take every necessary step to obtain Government grants for the railway from Verona to Ancona, and to coalesce or make beneficial arrangements with any companies proposing to construct lines of railway in connexion with the Italian and Austrian Railway Com pany or its branches, and the deputation who proceeded to Italy having found that they could, with great advantage to the Share holders, enter upon other railway undertakings in the Italian and Austrian States, besides the line between Ancona and Verona, deter mined upon doing so, and upon giving to the Shareholders the option of joining these undertakings. The Directors, therefore, tendered for the valuable grant they have now obtained for the railway from Florence to Pestoja, and also have entered upon several other nego tiations, which, through the aid of the wealthy and influential parties with whom they are connected at Rome, Bologna, and other places in Italy, they feel confident will be brought to a successful ter mination. The benefits resulting from these negotiations will, as they arise, be rateably apportioned to those Proprietors who shall pay such calls as shall be made from time to time , by the Directors for carrying out fully the objects in contemplation. .

The Committee of Management, in acquainting their Shareholders that the necessary preparations are being made to prosecute this un dertaking in the next session of Parliament, have also the satisfaction of stating, that while considerable engineering improvements will be made in the line, the main features which obtained for it the favour able report of the Board of Trade, will be preserved. The Committee are in negotiation with the London and Birmingham Railway Com pany and the• Birmingham Canal Company, for the construction of the portion of the main line from Birmingham to Wolverhampton, on the banks of the Canal, the result of which will be advantageous to the Shareholders in the saving of cost and distance on this portion of the line; the whole line will also be constructed with the additional assistance and superintendence of Mr. R. Stephenson. The Committee have also determined upon the construction of a branch from the main line to the mining district of Coalbrook Dale, in connexion with other projectect railways, and also in extending the main line from Shrewsbury to join a railway which has been pro. jected by the Shrewsbury, Oswestry, and Chester Company, to Welsh pool and Newtown. Full powers will be taken in the new Parlia mentary contract and subscribers' agreement for these purposes, and to undertake other branches and extensions, which the Committee have in contemplation, with a view to ensure a profitable return to the proprietors. The subscribers' agreement and contract, requisite for complying with the Standing Orders of Parliament in the next session, will lie for signature at the Company's office, from Monday, the 7th of July, until Saturday, the 19th, after which they will be transmitted to the Company's agents in the country. The Committee are happy to be able to state that the local interest in favour of this railway continues unabated ; and, as far as they can at present form a judgment, they are satisfied that no further de posit will be required for prosecuting the Bill in the next session of Parliament.

The object of this railway is to form a direct line of communication from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the ports of Shields, Middlesborough, • Tynemouth, and Sunderland, Seaham.Harbour, the rising ports of • Hartlepool, StoeXton-on-yees, and the other ports on the north-east coast of England, to the important towns of Clitheroe, Preston, Black- • burn, Bolton, Bury, Wigin, Chorley, Manchester, and Liverpool, and the other great manufacturing and commercial towns of Lancashire. Commencing at Preston, it will proceed by the Valley of the Ribble to Clitheroe,. where it meets with the proposed extension of the Alackburn, Darwen, and Dolton line from Blackburn to Clitheroe; it will thenge proceed to Settle and Hawes by the most direct course, and by the Valley of the Ur& and the Wensleydale, to the town of Askrigg and Richmond, near which latter place it will form a junc tion with the Great North of-England and Newcastle and Darlington Railways, by means of the-Richmond Branch of the former Railway. The population of the districts thus placed in direct communication with each other,lnpependently of the intermediate population, may be safely considered to amount to 570,000 on the north-east—and, on the south-west, 1,670,000. ' ' This line, forming the most direct route from the northern and eastern districts of England, vii Fleetwood, to Belfast and the north of Ireland, will greatly facilitate an interchange of commerce be tween the two countries, It effects a saving of upwards of forty miles over the shortest existing route between Newcastle and Liverpool. The immenie' population at its termini is a sufficient guarantee of the passenger traffic which may be anticipated. The line will also afford the greatest facility for the transmission of coals from the mines of Durham and Lancashire to the towns and districts between the termini. In this article alone a very large traf fic may undoubtedly be anticipated, the price of coals at Settle and its neighbourhOOa now varying from 20s. to 225. per ton, while by means of the Railway coals of the best quality may be supplied to Settid and the northern district of the West Riding of Yorkshire and Lancashire in any quantity-at from 10s. to 12s. per ton. The want of direct means.of communication between the ports in the north .of. England and the towns of Liverpool, Preston , Fleet wood, and Manchester, has been long felt ; the importance also of a system of easy railway communication around Manchester, extended to a much larger radius than - at present is occupied by any lines to wards the north, has been fully explained by the Board of Trade, as affording a greater choice of sites for the erection of mills and factories. „ The _important local elements of traffic in slate, lead, 'ironstone, freestone, and lime, which will be derived from the immediate vici nity of Wensleydale and Swaledale, and the other great mineral rallies along the line, are sufficiently obvious to all who are acquainted with - the district, independent of the traffic in cattle and agricultural • produce from Durham. Darlington, Richmond, Settle, and ether grazing districts which is now very considerable. It is believed that these sources of profit, together with the through traffic already alluded to, will yield a most ample return on the proposed capital. preliminary survey has been taken of the line, and the sections are nearly completed. The length o t f o th s e ev l e in n e ty b . e n t v w e ee m n i r es r , esto o j n id an n d o difficulties n cul s ti e e v s e ex t fst.

TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE Election of the Hon. W. L.

Bengal Army, amounting to more than half of the force by which the East India Company maintain their, sovereignty over the vast empire ac quired by their arms. The constituent parts of this large force differ from each other, as well as from the armies of Madras and norribay: in religion, usage, and partially In language, to which I may add,• that the regulations existing in each presidency do not always assimilate. Hence arise questions involving important.interests.

Birch, Cannon-row, London The Act for the formation of the Wilts and Somerset Railway having passed the Legislature, the Directors of the pi esent under taking propose to take up that line at Salisbury, and join it by a direct Railway eommunication of twenty-one miles on the broad gauge, with the important town and port of Southampton. The line has been carefully surveyed by experienced parges, and as it presents no engineering or other difficulties (the chief landowners being most favourably disposed towards it) the Directors have the fullest con fidence that tie estimates for its construction, &c., will not be ex ceeded, while the statistics of traffic are so abundant, both through and local. (a detailed statement of whim, may be seen at the office), as to leave no doubt on the minds of the Directors that a most sa tisfactory dividend will be realised, to arise from the large number of passengers that must embark and disembark at Southampton, to and from the East and West Indies, the Mediterranean, France, the Southern States of Europe, the Channel Islands, Isle of Wight, Soc., as well as the large supplies of iron, coal, slate, stone for building, flour, grain, and merchandise, constantly required to be transported to, and received at Southampton, either for use there, for exporta tion, or for the consumption in that part of the interior of the country traversed by the number of railways in connexion with, or springing from, the present line. The route of the proposed line will pass through commons and lands of little value ; it will proceed from the stnt!on of the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, at Fisherton Anger, and proceed by or near to Downton, Pla itford, over llampworth and East Willow Commons, by Yramshaw to Redbridge, taking the line of the old Canal at Millbrook, and crossing the Mudlands to the Royal Pier, Southampton, contiguous to which, and on the present waste shore. it is proposed to erect a spacious Terminus, the cost of which is in cluded in - the estimate. . It is also proposed to place the Railway in communication with the Royal Pier and Town Quays, so that the convenience of loading and unloading on the line may be secured. A certain number of Shares will be reserved for the Proprietors of the Wilts and Somerset Railway. Applications for ShareF, according to the annexed form, may be addressed to the respective Solicitors, or to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, No 26, Gresham-street. H. B.

The object of this railway is to provide the best and most direct communication between Stockport- and Warrington and thence to Liverpool, which latter object will be effected by means of this rail way in conjunction with the extension of their line about to be made by the Grand Junction Railway Company from Warrington. At Stockport the line will communicate with the Manchester and Birmingham Railway and the branch from Stockport to Ashton, thereby affording to the manufacturing population of °Stockport and its vicinity, and to all the densely populated district intersected by the. Sheffield and Manchester Railway, the most direct approach to Liverpool. There will be a Junction near Altrincham with the Manchester South . Junction and Altrincham Railway. Airingements have been - made with the Board of the St. Helens Railway Company, which will enhance the value of the proposed o Chester an d Bir line, and negotiations are in progress for giving t kenhead an excellent communication. The Grand Junction Railway Company ha ve . agreed' to provide a portion of the capital, and to promote the f orma tion of this fine by every means in their power.

This line of railway has been projected to complete the chain of communication between the Eastern and Midland Counties of Eng land and the Western, parts of the Island. •By this important schen3e a direct communication will be opened from the. Eastern Counties, through Derby and Stafford, to Chester and Liverpool, by the Grand Junction Railway—to NOrth Wales and Holyhead, by the projected Trent Valley Continuation—and to Central Wales, by the Manchester and Birmingham Continuation. It may, therefore, be certainly an ticipated that all, or nearly all the through traffic from Norfolk, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, and the Southern parts of Yorkshire, to Liverpool, Shropshire, Cheshire, North and Midland Wales, Ire land, and the West of Scotland, must pass over this line. On reference to the map, it will be seen that the most important of the existing and projected railways in the East of England centre at Derby, and those on the Western coast at Stafford. The proposed railway will supply the important desideratum of a direct line of com munication between these two great railway centres. Independent, however, of the through traffic, which is sufficient of itself not only to justify but to compel the formation of a railway from Derby to Stafford, the projected line will supply a much-wanted means of communication between large commercial and manufac turing towns, and accommodate the inhabitants of an exceedingly populous district. The local traffic alone will be sufficient to afford an ample return.upon the capital invested; and as this railway must, from its important position, command, in addition, a great amount of threughlreffic, there is no doubt it will prove a' most desirable in. vestment. • - • The country has been carefully surveyed, and the line can be con structed at an exceedingly moderate coat, not only without inter ference with, but greatly assisting the existing and projected lines with which it will be connected. • The usual clause will be inserted to limit the responsibility of the shareholders to the amount of their respective subscriptions. In consequence of , several influential gentlemen in Stafford and Uttoxeter having recently been added to the Provltional Committee, it has been thought proper to extend the time of application for shares from parties locally interested to the 15th instant, when the • list will be finally- closed. The Committee beg to intimate that the number of shares they will be able to allot to the public will neces sarily be very limited. • , Loutloo, July 3, 1845. ITALIAN - and Al.

The engineer, on per ceiving the other train coming down, threw off his steam and jumped off the engine. The fireman, who was on the tender, also jumped off, but by some means missed his leap, and was thrown back under the train and was killed. In the afternoon an inquest was held on the body of the deceased, when the jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death.

SIR,—I do hope that you will allow me the: use of a small space in your columns —open always to the expo• sure of oppression—to denounce, in the strongest terms, the cruelty perpetrated on the poor horses employed to drag the pleasure (!) vans to Hampton-court, and other places. _ _ That the love of gain may induce the owners of such conveyances to overload and overtask the animals they employ, is easily understood ; but how thirty persons, and frequently more, can exferience any pleasure in being dragged by a pair of p , or horses, for whose appa rent strength the vehicle itself is load enough, and of whose sufferings they must be reminded at every step, would be a matter of surprise were it nut of daily occur rence. Every feeling of humanity is outraged by the spectacle of worn-out, miserable-looking horses arriving in town, particularly on Sundays, with loads of pleasure seekers, utterly disproportioned to the strength of the animals. If there be no other means of checking this cruelty, at least let public attention and reprobation be drawn to it, and some good will result. I am far, indeed, from wishing to abridge innocent en joyments and recreations, but I confess I am desirous to see them partaken of without subjecting to such misery as he is now made to endure, the noble and useful horse. —I have the honour to be, Sir, your very obedient ser vant, G.

The following excellent letter on this subject has bee* communicated by a Correspondent well acquainted with military service : " The motion of Captain Layard, for shortening the period of soldiers' enlistment to ten years instead of for life—although opposed by the Secretary at War, and thereby lost—will no doubt awaken many considerations bearing on the subject, which may tend to the benefit and advantage of those soldiers who, having gained a certain number of years' experience, are still, from an unconquerable dislike to a military life, desirous of re linquishing it. The great consideration, and the great difficulty of carrying out such a measure, is not so much involved in the principle set forth by the Secretary at War, as in the fact that our army is now altogether colonial, and serving at vast distances, if not in the very antipodes of England ; and the transfer of soldiers from the central parts of India would be difficult and expen sive beyond all calculation. " The present custom of the service is for men in general to obtain their discharge on the payment of twenty pounds, under certain stipulations as to character ; and also, after a certain length of service, on the relinquishing all claim to pension. This is fair and indulgent, but would bear extension. By the time a soldier has served seven years, he is reconciled to ser vice—if he ever ‘s ill ba—and that is the period at which his dissent should be ascertained and admitted. Upon the procuring a good and sufficient substitute, and relinquishing all claim upon his country for his past service, as well as clearing off any expense attendant on the approved substitute. 'This would come very near the end proposed by Captain Layard, and if we mistake not, be of mutual advantage to the individual and to the country. Should the regiments to which such men be long be on duty in the colonies or India at the time of application, then upon the reported approval of such application, the man should be transferred to the first regiment or detachment returning to England, and for the express purpose of a regular discharge. " The Secretary-at-War, not having been bred a sol dier, must have been dependent on some military men for the opinion he has expressed ; and it is very easy to understand why colonels of regiments should be jealous of' losing a soldier in the very prime of his strength and efficiency ; but the true policy of such opinions are ex tremely doubtful, and of a very narrow character. The very thought of being free to go is an inducement to stay. No doubt the situation, or present condition of soldiers, is much more cared for than formerly,' but their future prospects on the termination of service not so much so. The mode of entrance into, and the mode of discharge from, the service, are both most obnoxious—a fictitious bounty and a miserable pension. The bounty should be bond fide money, and a complete equipment for service in the ranks - without any shopping or unworthy trickery, thereby rendering the first intercourse the soldier has with his officer an apparent fraud. The pension for 21 years' service should be given under any circumstances, and increased for superior conduct. The real bounty should be found, not in the sum paid at the inconsiderate moment of enlistment, but in the pension or discharge. One discontented or bad spirited pensioner in a parish will spoil the recruiting of a district. The labouring classes have only to feel that, after serving their country, they return to their homes better men and in better condition than they left it, and there would be no lack of volun teers for the army. Nothing can be more satisfactory than the treatment of soldiers who are sick ; indeed, it almost amounts to an axiom, that if as much pains and care were taken on certain points of barrack accommo dation and food, together with unnecessary exposure in bad climates by injudicious and inexperenced officers, the casualties of the army would be immensely reduced. " A few civil privileges to men who have served their country might well be thrown into the scale and added to the pension, such as the right of trade or shop in any part of the kingdom; exemption of such men as have only served seven years before their discharge from militia ballots, &c., &c.—and finally, to prevent, if possible, the return of old soldiers in a state of roverty to Great Britain, by forming the garrisons of Australia, or other healthy colonies, of men who have served 14 years, and would wish at the end of 21 years' service to settle, with small grants of land from the Government." COLOSSEUM, REGENT'S PARK.—The following dis tinguished persons were among the visitors to the Co losseum during the early part of the week:—Duchess of Sutherland, Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch and party, Marchioness of Donegal, Marquis of Exeter, Earl and Countess of Dunraven, Earl of Uxbridge; Lords Leigh, Harrowby, Manvers, De Lisle, Carnarvon, Sherberne; Lady Middleton, Lady Peel and party, Lady Strad broke, .Lady Canning, Miss Burdett Coutts, &c. CHEAP TRAlN.—Yesterday a cheap train arrived here from Manchester, crowded with some hundreds of the manu facturing classes, most of whom took excursions to Cheshire and the Lightship, not forgetting, before quitting the town, to have a view of the exterior of the Great Britain, in the Queen's Graving-dock. The fare was half.a.crown a.head, and the train consisted of ten second-class carriages, in which the pas sengers were packed as closely as space would permit. —Liver pool Albion. CUSTOMS:AND SYMPATHIES OF THE Poola.—When a rich man dies, multitudes throng to view the "lying-In - Ilatt in the case of a poor man, numbers go te see the body only. Thus,. hundreds visited the home of. John Glenn. who was killed at Leicester last week in a fight, though there was no wound to attract curiosity. And at the funeral on Sunday, thousands asSem. the cof f in ; four bled to witness the spectacle.

Though the streets were crowded, a profound silence prevailed, and an immense number accompanied the procession to St. George's Church. The great public meeting of Scottish Dissenters, held on Wednesday last, is an event which we regard as most im portant and gratifying. The meeting was touch needed and well.. timed, and proved in every respect a most effective demonstration. The recent declarations of the political leaders regarding their in. tentions to extend the system of endowments both show need and give improved opportunity for a revival of the voluntary agitation; while the ill-considered and inconsistent alliances formed by some voluntaries during the recent anti-Maynooth agitation rendered it imperative on the great body of Dissenters to make renewed and plain proclamation of their principles. After the recent symptoms of a partial backsliding, it is cheering to see the most able and emi. neat men of our Scottish Dissenters formally disowning in the question of endowments the narrow plea of theological difference between Protestant and Catholic, and taking their stand only on the broad ground of justice between man and man.—Scotsman. QUICK CoMMUNICATION.—What would folks fifty years ago have said (asks the Pittsburg Age) had they received a London paper with an engraving of a fire in Pittsburg before the ruins had ceased smoking? yet such is the case now. We re. ceived a paper of this kind on the 4th, and lit a cigar among the ruins on the same morning. His St rene Highness Prince Herman of Sa xe Weimar and brother left Marlborough House yesterday morn ing, and embarked at London-bridge wharf, on board the General Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Sir Edward banks, for Ostend.
