The London and Westminster Bank, The purpose of this undertaking is to provide for Manchester and the manufacturing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and the north of England a direct access to Southampton, now the mail port to the Channel Islands, the West.lndies, Mexico, Turkey, Egypt, the whole of Asia Minor, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, the Greek Islands, and the numerous other ports and Islands of the Medlteranean ; to Persia, the East Indies, and China, to which vast and increasing markets the port of Southampton is becoming an important outlet for British manufactures. The pastel communication is now effected by the circuitous route of London, and is necessarily subject to delay there, whereas on the completion of this railway, Southampton must necessarily become a far better point than London for the distributing of foreign letters. The merchandise shipped for foreign stations from Southampton is, in like manner, subject to delay; and to the inconvenience and added cost of cartage through the Metropolis, and transference from one railway to another. • These evils are sensibly felt, as well at Southampton as by the general commercial interests of the north. The Collector of her Majesty's Customs at the port of Southampton stated, before recent Parliamentary Committees, that the exports from Southampton, of which in 1832 the declared value was only 62,1631., will this year exceed three millions sterling—that upwards of 40,000 persons em bark and disembark to foreign ports there annually, and that 671 voyages were made by steam 'packets from the port last year—that the trade consists generally of exports of manufactures from the nor thern districts—Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham, Wolverhamp ton, Dudley, &c.—that there is also a considerable import trade of fruits, and of raw materials for manufactures, such as raw silk and dye stuffs, which are sent to the north. If a direct line were formed (the Collector stated), he had no doubt the exports would rise in one year to ten millions sterling ; and he added that the advantages of transmission, by a direct line, of the mails to and from Southampton and the North, which now go round by London, would be very great, especially in the case of Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow, &c. Whilst, however, as is thus officially admitted, a Railway com pleting the line of dttect communication is calculated extensively to promote great commercial and public interests, it will also benefit and assist essentially !the local requirements of the districts tra versed. The - line is intended to commence at a point in convenient connexion with the Public Quays .and the Docks at Southampton, and to proceed by. Redbridge, Romsey, Stockbridge, Andover, Lud gershall, Marlborough, Swindon, Cricklade, and Cirencester to Chel tenham, there joining the Birmingham and Gloucestet Railway ; thus opening up Leicester, Nottingham, Lincoln, Derbi - , Sheffield, Leeds, and York, the Iron Districts and the Potteries of Staffordshire, Manchester, and the • manufacturing districts, Liverpool and the West of Scotland, and. by existing. and projected routes, Chester, Birkenhead, Holyhead, and Ireland—bringing into connexion the Irish Sea and the English Channel. One of the most gratifying features in this undertaking is the truly national purpose it will serve in the more immediate and rapid com munication with the great commercial town and port of Havre—the Liverpool of France. Those only who have had the opportunity of watching the rapid progress, within the last few years, of that vast mart and outlet— the increased facilities and great commercial advan tages there continuously developed—can form any adequate idea of the advantages which Lancashire and the surrounding districts must de rive from this ready and direct access to it through Southampton. Returning to advantages of a more immediate character it may be mentioned that to those localities to which seaborne coal is now im ported at a very heavy cost, Leicestershire and Staffordshire coal may be conveyed by railway at a considerably reduced price. The iron of Staffordshire, and the wares of Birmingham and the Potteries, will have the benefit of a new port, and a new market will be opened for the salt of the Droitwich mines—objects, the necessity of which has this year been strongly pressed upon Parliament. -Stone, lime, tiles, slates, grain, wool, cattle—and all the requirements and production of a rich and fertile agricultural district will also pass along the line. There can be no doubt that whilst the intercourse between the rich counties of Hants, Dorset, Wilts, and Gloucester, on the one hand, and Staffordshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Derbyshire, Cheshire, Lancashire, Yorkshire, and the West of Scotland on the other, Is already abundant, the communication from North to South, as well for the purposes of commerce as of pleasure, must be greatly promoted by the formation of a Railway, especially in connexion with the coast lines of Railway running East and West from Southampton,—on the one hand, through Dorset shire, and on the other by Portsmouth to Brighton, Hastings, and Dover. A further advantage to the enterprise and commerce of the country will be found in the favourable character' of the port of Southampton and the low rates on shipping and cargoes—those on the shipping amounting in no instance to more than threepence per ton register, and five shillings per vessel boomage, and on the car goes to three shillings and fourpence per ton export charge at the decks, and, if shipped at the public quays, to a similar moderate de mand. No charge at either place of shipment will be incurred for cartage or lighterage, and the trains stopping in immediate proximity to the docks, quays, and wharfs, can have their various burdens run by train-roads directly alongside the vessels. The attractions of the Isle of Wight and the Channel Islands (Guernsey, Jersey, &c.), rendered accessible as they will be by the construction of railways, will also increase the stream of tourists from Lancashire and all parts with which this railway opens up a communication.

A Meeting of the Council of the Borough of Southampton was this day held at the Audit House, or Council Chamber, in the said Borough. The Plan of the intended Railway between Manchester anti South ampton having been submitted to this Council, — It was resolved unanimously— That a Direct Line of Railway Communication between Southamp ton and Manchester, such as is proposed by "the Manchester and Southampton Railway Company," is calculated essentially to promote the interests of the town and port of Southampton, the neighbouring towns and districts, the rich agricultural counties through which it will pass, and afford to the great manufacturing districts the most dircet communication with the English Channel, the Mediterranean, and all pints of the East and West Indies. That this Council will, therefore, to the utmost of its power, sup port the general features of this undertaking, and that a Committee be appointed to take such measures as may be most calculated to promote the object and secure the particular interest of Southamp ton connected therewith.

Since the formation of the Company for making this railway, and the allotment of the Shares for that part of the line between Chelms ford and Bury, the practicability, paramount importance, and supe rior advantages of its plan have been so unequivocally recognised by the Board of Trade, and by the Committee of the House of Commons for the railways of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk. that the Provisional Committee have determined to now, at once, adopt the extension of their line, originally projected, from Bury to join the Norwich and Brandon line at Thetford; thereby to complete the shortest and best communication between London and Norwich, in the direction of the old road, through all the chief central towns of Essex and Suffolk, and at the same time to open a very direct communication with the great trunk lines of the north and_west. For these important objects, to be secured by an extension of only tinhe °P n P o °B tic ib e g of the Board of Trade or of the Co mmittee of the Hous e ; but the stronge to other 12 miles, to connect Bury St. Edmunds a nd Thetford, the Provisional Committee propose to increase t h e capital 25 0,0001., by the i ss u e of 10,000 additional shares; and, for full particul ars of the entire plan, e j i l it illY ar the present g been proj ec t ed in time refer to their original prospec line not Navin tus. bring Tb it eCbeheflomresfroradrlaianmd linesit lnt , s t b e h aetn its bti t m imperfectly,erits could and at m e a r l e l l y b r i o n session t e i g i d h e t n u t a n l in a in substantive f orm , d l e y r , impression made, notwithstanding, is its favour, is obviously appa rent, both in the reports of the one and in the decisions of the other. The Board of Trade, in stating the considerations upon which it ad vised the rejectiouof the Norwich Direct line, reported (March 4th, 1845) that " It is necessary to advert to a railway called the Chelms ford and Bury Railway, projected, but not brought before Parliament, the plan, and section, and traffic tables of which have been submitted to the Board of Trade.. This railway appears to us to accommodate a more populous district than that intended to be traversed by the London and Norwich ,Direct Railway . Its section s h ows that it may be done at a snoderate . , , , cos t • (while) " there is a strong local feeling in its fay, ur, eVineed by the memorials which have been re ceived by the Board of 'Trade from the inhabitants of Braintree, Halstead, Sudbury, and other places between Chelmsford and B ur y.. The Committee of the House of Commons have since not only rejected the Norwich Direct and Bury and Cambridge glees, but the Chairman (Lord Sandell) previous to giving a d ecision against the Norwich Direct, took occasion to observe that " the Committee was decidedly in favour of the Chelmsford and Bury scheme." To these public testimonials in favour of the Chelmsford and Bury line, the Provisional Committee have the Satisfaction of aiding, that by a special arrangement with the solicitor of the Eastern Counties Railway, they are assured of the concurrence and good offices of that important Company in the formation of their line. In allotting their original Shares, the Proonsional Committee ne cessarilyn ) Realities, 'which it may be rejected numerous 1 p pre sumed that a considerable number were from parties as highly re spectableborn Shares could then begiven; and as any of those to w in the distribution of the additional Shares a reasonable preference will be given to original applicants, as well as to original Share holders.

Published, Tuesday, sth August, demy Bvo., price 48., WHAT are to be the TENDENCIES of the BRITISH NATION ?—To SANITY ? or to INSANITY? —A Question by LUKE JAMES HANSARD. July, 1845. Printed and published by Luke James Hansard, 6, Great Turnstile, Lincoln's Inn-fields, and may be had of all Booksellers. This question arises out of the Lunatic Billsnow before Parliament. This question has reference to a notion of the insufficiency of the Lu nacy Commissioners as in mind to understand the depths and breadth and height of the nature of Sanity and Insanity, to which they have assumed a self-sufficient competency, and as in heart to attend to those revelations or entreaties which should have enlarged their usefulness, and widened the scope of their intelligence and reflective feelings. This question carries witb it the thought of the wisdom of the Government of the country, as to how far, and whether its mea sures, its conduct, and its habit of rule are the means of causing ten dencies in the community of the British nation and within itself, as the persons of the Government, either to Sanity or to Insanity. Whilst the excitement of any human creature is held liable to be treated as a disease, and to be called "Lunacy," "Insanity," or "Madness," depending upon the maliciousness, perversity, or colli sions of temper, or upon the good, easy assent of thoughtless friends, it is important that we have clear and definite ideas of the nature of the excitements so treated as a disease, in order that we may, by tracing the cause, do more good to mankind by the preventative tendencies of forecast provisions in inculcating self-controlling powers of intelli gence and habit, than by making a perpetuity of disease under the paid system, which fosters, feeds, and fattens upon the professions of a doctoring cure, which must (although by an opposite course of irritation, denying all hope, .instead of by hope promising to give), like the fabled fever-exciting thirst of Tantalus, irritate more and more, but only eventually to destroy. Whether shall we fix Insanity upon the British nation as a stain, and a "disease Incurable," in order to provide a means of existence for mad doctors and other paid agents wanting employment—or by those quiescent ways of truth, equity and justice, which are or ought to be ministered to with brotherly kindness, remove (by way of pre venting) this plague-spot on the peace and happiness of the com munity of our land?

The Line will commence at the Terminus of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard Reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Chunict Valley to Consall, thence close to Cheadle and Tean, and by Uttoxeter, Bagots Woods and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent Valley Railway north of Lichfield, communicating near there with one of the proposed lines from Dudley or Wolverhampton. A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct line for the London and Manchester traffic, uniting these two great termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing railways, will completely accommodate the local traffic, and throw open several extensive Coal fields and some thousand acres of Wood land to Manchester, the Potteries, and other great marts of the kingdom. This Line is also in some of its principal features the same as that already approved of by Use Board of Trade, and partially abandoned by the Churnet Talley Company—will not, comprise snore than fifty miles of Railway, and passing through the centre of the unoccupied part of the district, does not interfere with Use Grand Junction or any other existing Railway. This and the proposed Line from Crewe to Derby will also well accommodate the Potteries, giving to that important locality a direct route to London, Birmingham, and the South, to Liverpool and the North, and to Derby and the East, and will also afford a transit for the Eastern counties traffic from Derby to Manchester. The co-operation of almost all the principal landowners from near Uttoxeter to near Lichfield having been ob tained, this portion of the line may be considered as secure. A most influential Provisional Committee, consisting of land owners and manufacturers, and others locally interested, will shortly be published. In the meantime references may be made to Matthew Gaunt, Esq., Highfield House, Leek ; or to Thomas Tumor, Esq., Abbots Bromley, near Uttoxeter. PUBLICATIONS.

A meeting was held yesterday, at the terminus of the London and Brighton Railway Company, of the Shareholders and Directors of the Brighton and Chi chester project, in compliance with a requisition to that effect, in order that the Shareholders should state their assent to, or dissent from, a proposition made to them by the London and Brighton Company, for the purchase of the Brighton and Chichester shares. The Hon. Captain HoTnAss, R.N., Laving taken the chair, the Secretary read the advertisement calling the mooting, and the report of the Directors, which recom mended that the arrangement should be made, at the rate of 12L 10s. premium per share, and certain other conditions specified. The Clumsier' then entered into a short explana tion, in order, he said, to disabuse the minds of the Shareholders of the impression that the Directors had caused any unnecessary delay to this meeting ; but the fact was it could not have been called sooner, owing to the Bill being . in its progress through the House at the time the requisition was first sent to the Directors. Mr. ransom proposed a resolution to the effect that the transfer be made at 10/. per share, for he had been instructed that if they agreed to 124 10s., a legal diffi culty would be thrown in their way ; at the same time it would be distinctly understood that the 124 10s. would be paid. Mr. Davis seconded the resolution. Mr. BRUCE moved an amendment, to the effect that the meetingngree to make the arrangement at the sum orivinally specified. Mr. GRENVILLE said that Mr. Bruce's proposition was the common-sense one, but as there was some " hocus pocus" in the way, it would be better to meet the difficulty in the way suggested by M r . P arsons . The CHAIRMAN of the London and Brighton Com pany said he would, on behalf of that body, pledge him self that the understood arrangement should be carried out. Mr. BRUCE said that as he could not be supposed to intend throwing any obstacle in the way, he would with draw his amendment. The original motion was then put and carried, as was also another resolution of a formal character, after which a vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated.

InnOmerable are the surmises afloat concerning the nature of Mrs. Gore's new novel. At first " The Rays.

Both these reports 'we are able to contradict. It is, however, now 'A mated that the Royal Favourite is a Courtier of the pro. sent day. es , g ad de' to )1P ,ter int° I
