RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON. BRISTOL, AND SOUTH WALES DIRECT. MARLBOROUGH, OCT. 21.—A public meeting of the inhabi • tants of the borough of Marlborough, convened by George May, E-q , the mayor, in compliance with a requisition very numerously signed, was held yesterday, at the Town-hall, for the purpose of taking into consideration the best means to be adopted fir promoting the proposed line. The Company was represented by N. Giles, Esq., the Rev.. Sir Erasmus W.:on, Bart, rector of Marlborough, General Parlby, and other members of the Direction ; and there was also present a large assemblage of the landowners, gentry, and inhabitants of the district. Mr. Reeve was voted to the chair, and in opening the proceedings of the day, observed that it was on all sides ad mitted to be most desirable that a direct communication by railway should he accomplished between Marlborough and the other towns on the old western line and London; and when a bond fide proposal was brought forward to effect that great object, it was incumbent on them all to put their shoulders to the wheel, and endeavour to carry it. The line proposed was undoubtedly a good line for Marlborough, for it gave it a direct communication with the metropolis • and, what was equally important, with Bath, Bristol, and the whole of South Wales. One railway had been already pro posed which would afford to Marlborough a communication with Manchester and Southampton—the Direct Manchester and Southampton, which would cross Marlborough, and which at a previous meeting had met with unanimous sup port—he meant the Direct London and Southampton line. And if they obtained the two lines—the cross line and the direct line— the town would be very well off and its former prosperity would return. The Rev. Sir E. WiesoN then rose to move the first resolu tion. If the inhabitants of Marlborough felt sufficiently the advantages of railway communication, to induce them to give their cordial assent to the Manchester and Southamp ton, how much more strongly must. they be impressed with the advantages of the present - scheme, which gave to the inhabitants of Marlborough the benefit of a direct railway communication with the metropolis? The London Bristol, and South Wales line spoke for itself. It commenced in London, passed on by the Great Western line as far as Hungerford; from thence it proceeded to Marl borough ' • thence to Caine, having between these two tow n s a short branch to Devizes.—(Hear, hear.) From Caine the line would go on to Chippenham, where again it united with with the Great Western, which it crossed; from thence it proceeded, by way of Chipping Sudbury, to the Aust-passage, which it was proposed to cross by a bridge, and, upon the other side it would unite itself with the South Wales line, which was the line of communication between London, and, in fact, England and Ireland. The Great Western Railway, having taken its course roun d b y Swiudon, instead ✓ of adhering more closely to the old coach road, had left the towns of Hungerfurd, Marlborough, Caine, and Devizes to take care of themselves—the line of communication between them and the metropolis on the one hand, and Bristol and Bath on the other, having been cut off. In the last session of Parliament a Bill had been passed for constructing a 'sranch line from the Great Western to Newbury, but Parliament, in granting that lice, insisted that it should be carried on as far as Hunger ford. The present scheme, however, did not propose to stop the e, but completely to fill up the gap the Great Western Company had left, and to extend the advantages of railway accommodation to Marlborough, Hungerford, Caine, and Devizes (Hear, hear.) It was to take the direct and old-established line of communication between Bristol; Bath, and London, and it was the only one proposed that came near the town of Marlborough.—(Hear, hear.) No other company had come forward to supply the country, and comp!) , with the wishes of the people of that town, and he wished • to impress upon them, that any proposal to give railway accommodation to Marlborough on the part of any company which might henceforth be made, would not have the same claim upon the attention of those locally interested, as if it had been made before. In this age of railways, any town in the kingdom, however flourishing, it might be, must, if it had nut the advantage of direct railway cemmunicatii es with London, soon sink into nothingness. He had, on a recent occasion, told Lord Bruce that if a line were constructed which should place Marlborough on a fair footing with other towns in the kingdom in this respect, it would live, but without it, it must sink into the position of a petty village.—(Hear, hear.) Caine was circumstanced similarly to Marlborough, and, at a meeting held in that town on the previous day, resolutiens in favour of the proposed line were unanimously agreed to ) The direct communica tion the line would give from and to Bristol was most im portant, as it would bring the traders from that port direct to the markets of Wilts and Berks, without their being compelled to ge many miles round for railway accommoda as at present. One tradesman of Caine would contribute alone 1,500/. a year, taking the estimate on his present trade ; but, looking at the beneficial change which direct railway accommodation would certainly occasion, he did not doubt that he would be enabled to bring traffic to the line to double that amount. Coal was a most important hens of household expenditure, especially to the poor, and by means of this railway they would be enabled to bring up coals from thence to Marlborough at an expence for carriage, as he was I told, of only 2s. a ton. — (Hear , hea r. ) As was suggested to him by a gentleman in the room, they might be delivered for 13s. 4d. a ton. Mr. REID, of Marlborough, offered to contract for any quantity of coals, provided the railway was made, at 13s. 4d. a ton delivered. Sir E. WILSON—The prOposed line was almost perfectly straight from the Aust passage to the junction at Reading. The Welsh traffic would, doubtless, take the shorter and more direct line, and it followed, therefore, that that traffic would come to the South Wales line. It was supposed by some that the Aust• passage was an impracticable project. But the bridge across that passage was now to be erected by the 'Liverpool and Bristol Junction Railway Company, who had subscribed the money for it, and who would carry it into effect. The bridge was neither to be a chain nor a swing bridge, but a fixed bridge, in every way sufficient for the purpose of railway traffic. The member for Bristol, Captain Berkeley, was with them. He wee, in fact, their deputy-chairman ; and they might reasonably conclude that they bad with them the interest of the Berkeley family ; and yesterday, at Caine, they had the declaration of Lord Shelburne, that finding his constituents in favour of the line, he would support it. They had not yet heard that the two members for Aylesbury had declared in favour of it ; but he trusted that when they should be made ac quaintedwith the statement of Lord Shelburne, and the general wish of their constituents, that they would follow the Noble Lord's example. They had a right to assume that Lord Shel burne's declaration embodied also the sentiments of the Mar quis of LansdoVene, and if the members for Marlborough and the Marquis of Aylesbury would attend in like mad ner to the .wishes and requirements of their constituents and their tenantry; theie Would 'be 'three influential supporters of the bill in either. House, and it would, without doubt, be carried—(Hear, bear). One of their members was the Vice- Chamberlain to the Queen, and the other was a Lord of the Treasury; and with their support, together with that of the friends they could command, the line must be ' carried. Many of the most important land-Owners on the line had also expressed themselves in favour of the-line. There:was, therefore, nothing to alarm the prOmoters of the scheme : they proposed the shortest and most direct line from London to the Fishguard and Pembroke docks; they had the money ready to carry it .out. The worthy baronet concluded by moving the resolution, T. HALCOMBE, Esq., seconded the resolution. , General PARLBY also spoke in favour of the line. THOMAS SMITH, Esq.; supported the resolution, and was sure the House of Commons could, never commit so gross an injustice to the inhabitants of Marlborough as to refuse its assent to a body of capitalists carrying out a work of such great national benefit. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. HAYWOOD ' the son of the agent of the Marquis of Aylesbury, said that his father was unavoidably absent from the meeting, but he felt great interest in the question, add he was enabled to assure them that the Marquis was most anxi , us to serve Marlborough ; Lord Bruce and Lord Ernest had al ,o the same feeling, and he was sure they would sup port any scheme which, on consideration, they might con• sider oil dieted to benefit the neighbourhood.: Mr. HARRIS, of Caine, complained of the great loss he and other traders suffered from the absence of direct railway accommodation, and the insufficiency of the accommodation afforded by the Great Western Railway. lie had seen the ' steward of the Marquis of Lansdowne that day, and was in formed by him that the noble lord would support any line that would benefit the inhabitants of the locality;and tend to the public good. A resolution, exoressing the approbation of the meeting in the proposed scheme was passed; and petitions to both Houses were adopted in favour of the Bill. HUNGERFORD.--A similar meeting was afterwards held at the Town-hall at Hungerford, at which D. Allen, Esq., the mayor, presided. Sir Erasmus Wilson fully explained the merits of the proposed line, and the great benefit it would confer upon Hungerford, Marlborough, and the other towns th ro ugh which it would pass. Resolutions pledging the meeting to support the line were passed, and petitions to both Houses of Parliament in its favour were unanimously agreed to—Earl Caernarycn and Lord Craven to be requested to support the one to the Lords, and the county members the petition to the Commons. RAILWAY STREETS. The question of•adapting railway viaducts to street traffic, so as to improve instead of deteriorate the property they pass over, and diminish the cost of their construction by the pro ceeds of new building frontages, will receive, it is conceived, a practical solution in the experiment about to be tried on a grand t.cale by the Thames Embankment and Railway Junc tion Company. The object of this Company is to form a through communication with the railways entering the me tropolis from the east and west, and to connect them, by a rail way bridge, with the lines approaching the Thames from the north and south. One part of this object it is proposed to effect by a railway embankment between Hunger ford-market and Blackfriars-bridge, where the river is broad and shallow ; hut it was left open fur consideration, on the formation of the Company, whether the railway, in passing to the east of Blackfriars-bridge, should continue in front of the wharves, or, leaving the river at that point ; proceed behind the wharves, in a line parallel with them, between Thames-street and Cannon-street, to the Blackwall Railway, at or near the Minories. - The latter course has at last been determined upon, after a careful survey of the two lines, with a view to their, comparative cost, the wharf line involving expensive constructions, and unlimited demands for compensation, and the upper line a large. original outlay, but a certain return of about two-thirds the amount by the sale of ground rents. It is nitend•sl, therefore, to form between the Minories and Blackfriars-bridge—througn a mass of property, some por dons of it costly, but the greater part of so inferior a cha racter that it is styled the " back slums" of the City—a new street, nearly as wide and as straight as Oxford• street, with a railway viaduct for atmospheric carriages in the middle, constructed with cast iron girders, supported by co lumns along the side pavement, resembling those of the Quadrant. A model of the viaduct and proposed new buildings on either side, has been prepared for public inspec tion, and Messrs. Bridges and Mason, the solicitors of the Company, have already commenced serving the necessary notices for the property to be purchased. The new street, which will give a frontage to Doctore commons, and open a view of St. Paul s from the south, will, in connexion with the embankment line, if carried out as intended, form one of the main arteries of? the metropolis. It would appear, as described, to take the most direct as well as the most agreeable course from east to west, even for foot passengers ; and passeng6rs by the railway, we are told, will reach the Bank in five minutes from Charing-cross, or the sea at Southend within an hour and a half.

THE CORN TRADE. (From the Mar! ,Nrie Express ) The weather has, during the gri ater part of the week, been as favourable as could be desired, and there is now some prospect of the loneretarded harvest in the north being at length completed. Had the wet continued longer, much of the corn remaining out in the backward districts would probably have been wholly destroyed, and that great mischief has been done to the grain by so lung an exposure in the fields is unquestionable. As it will still take some time to finish the harvest, no very accu rate estimate can yet be formed of the result; but that the yield and quality of the wheat et this year's growth will be much inferior to the produce of any previous sea son fur many years past, appears to be the almost universal opinion. From all quarters where thrashing has made progress, the reports agree in describingehe quantity as much short of expectation, prepared as farm ers were for an indifferent yield. Regarding the quality the accounts are not so universally bad ; the early-saved and that carted after the weather became broken, was mostly carried in damp condition, and a great deal thereof, is indeed wretched stuff ; a fair proportion was, however, got in under inure favourable auspices, and though far from fine, is of tolerable quality. The weight of even the best secured is light, very few samples weighing over 601 b. per bushel. We are at all times unwilling to create unnecessary ahem, but we cannot shut our eyes to the somewhat critical position of affairs. That the wheat harvest of 1845 is decidedly below that of usual average years is undif-puted ; the stocks of old are closely worked up ; whilst of foreign wheat, whether free or in bond, the quantity in the kingdom is so insignificant as to be wholly inadequate to make good the de=ficiency in the home pro dare. In addition to these facts it must be recollected that the potato, so useful an auxiliary in supplying food it a large proportion of the community, has failed to a greater or less extent in all parts of the United King dom ; no district appears to have entirely escaped the disease ; and it is even doubtful whether the potatoes, apparently sound when dug up, will keep through the winter. On the whole, therefore, there are ample rea sons to fear that the value of bread stuffs may rise to an extent to occasion some inconvenience to the poorer classes. Already wheat has risen from 15s. to 20s. per quarter from the lowest point ; and the upward moviment seems at present likely to continue. Very little cf the wheat lately secured can be in a fit state to thrash until next March ; and from the com paratively small quantity of fine, farmers are not likely to be in a hurry to part with the latter. Only moderate deliveries from the growers can therefore be expected ; and as merchants and millers are by no means largely stocked, there is some chance of the supplies falling short of the quantity required for consumption. Under ordi nary circumstances, a similar auspicious change to that which has this week taken place in the weather would have immediately checked the rise in prices; but so con fident are holders at present that all they have will be wanted, that little effect has been produced on the trade by the alteration from very wet weather to that of au opposite character. At several of the leading provincial markets held since our last, considerable eagerness has been displayed to make investments in wheat, which has enabled sellers to realise a further enhancement. The Liverpool market was on Tuesday visited by numerous buyers from different parts of Ireland, which, with the increasingly unfavourable reports from that country regarding the failure in the potato crop, caused much excitement. Not only was wheat in lively request, at a rise of 3d. per 70lb. on free, and 3d. to 4d. on bonded, but all other descriptions' of corn and pulse, as well as flour and oatmeal, were bought up at greatly enhanced prices, and on the whole, a large amount of business was done. Later in the week the excitement increased rather than diminished. and an Friday red Lower Baltic wheat was sold in bond at Bs. per 701 b., United States flour at 30e. per barrel, while 355. per barrel was paid for Canadian. The accounts from Yorkshire are of a somewhat more subdued tone, purchasers having apparently deemed it prudent to pause ere entering into fresh engagements at the advanced rates demanded by sellers. Neither at Hull nor at Leeds were the transactions of much im portance OR Tuesday. At the first-named town a rise of ls. per quarter was, in partial instances, established on wheat, but at Leeds buyers declined paying enhanced terms. The advices from Wakefield, of Friday, are by no means animated ; and though the best qualities of wheat commanded full terms, ordinary sorts were scarcely so saleable as on that day week. In the western and north-western markets, the value of win at has this week risen materially. At Bristol, on Thursday, the best qualities of old were quoted 45., and new 2s. per quarter higher than on that day se'nnight ; whilst at Birmingham, the advance amounted to quite 2s. per quarter on all kinds. In the agricultural districts prices have also moved up steadily, and it is now evident, that in spite of the inferiority of the new wheat, the averages must shortly rise to an extent to cause a considerable reduction is the duty. Our Scotch letters give a very sad account this week of the spread of potato disease in that country, and notwithstanding the rather quiet tone of the Mark-lane re ports of Monday last, much excitement prevailed at Edinburgh on Wednesday. Wheat was readily sold at 2s. to 4s. per quarter above the rates of that day se'unight ; whilst barley rose 35., and oats fully Is. per quarter. This rise in prices was attributed entirely to the fear of the failure in the crop of potatoes. In Ireland the same causes have been productive of the same results. The conviction that potatoes will be exceedingly deficient has become so general on the other side of the Channel, that measures have already been adopted to guard against the anticipated scarcity cl feed, with a view to this end purchases of grain, flour, and meal have leely been making on Irish account in several of the English markets; it is prebable, therefore, that the supplies from t hat country will fall off materially, which must have an influence on the value of corn—oats in particular—on this side. The arrivals of wheat coastwise into London have been good; the greater proportion of the 10,536 qrs. reported has gone direct to millers. The show at Mark -lane by land-carriage samples from the home counties has, since Monday, been very small; and though a good deal of caution has been displayed by millers in conducting their operations, prices were fully as high at the close as in 'the commencement of the week. Foreign free wheat having been required for mixing with the damp parcels of new English, the former has met with a fair share of attenti , m, and the recently establish ed advance has not only been supported, but in many cases holders have been enabl , d to realize terms for the finer sorts not previously obtainable. Besides a good deal of local speculation in bonded wheat, we have experienced rather a liveh demand for the article on Irish account, and the operations have on the whole been important. The sales made both on Wednesday and Friday were at an advance of Is. per quarter on Monday's currency, and many holders were altogether unwilling to part with their property. Mode rately good qualities of red brought 525., whilst superior Rostock was held at 555. to 565. A cargo of Dantz'c, by no means fine, sold at 57e. per quarter on Friday, and superior high mixed could not have 'been secured without paying 58s. to 60s. per quarter. From the present position of the averages it is scarcely possible for the duty to fall materially this month, but before the end of November wheat will be admissible at 14s. per quarter—a rate, however, few importers are likely to pay, as a further decline is certain to occur in the following month. The'top price of town-made flour must be regarded as unsettled, some millers calling it 5Gs., whilst others quote 603. per sack. Ship flour has commanded full terms, and that of colonial and foreign manufacture has also sold at high rates. The supplies of barley have slightly increased ; still the quantity received has been small. Malting sorts have commanded the advance of Monday, and feeding quali ties have brought is. per quarter more than was obtaia able on that day. Malt has been much sought after, and prices of the article have continued to tend upwards. English and Scotch oats have come to hand very sparingly ; of Irish 16,113 quarters have been received. whilst from abroad the supply has consisted of 15,680 quarters. The belief that the failure of the potato crop will occasion a greatly increased consumption of meal in Scotland and Ireland, and that the arrivals of oats from those countries will therefore be very small, has led, to much eagerness to get into stock. On Wednesday fac tors experienced no difficulty in selling at 6d. per quarter above former rates, and at the close of the week the rise amounted to ls. per quarter. Bonded oats have also been sought after, and as much as 20s. to 21s. per quarter had been paid for Archangel under lock. Beaus have participated in the general advance, and were certainly ls, per quarter dearer at the close than in the beginning of the week. For peas the demand has again revived, and both white and blue have commanded enhanced prices. Gray and map!e have not excited so much attention ; the lat ter kinds were nevertheless held with greater firmness on Friday. THE ARMY.

Effective strength of three companies :-1 acting sergeant-major, 9 sergeants, 4 drum mers, and 151 rank and file; at Borrisokane, 1 company, under Captain Mein * 1 ensign, 2 sergeants, 1 drummer, and 61 rank and file. Recruiting, 10 rank and file. Sick at Chatham, 4 rank and file. Officers on leave of absence, Captain Carter, to Dec. 31; Lieuts. Poole, to Nov. •1 Breedon, to Nov. 15. At Cork, a draught, consisting of Lieut. Vansittart, Ensign qiarleton, 1 sergeant, 50 rank and its ornamental effect in passing the Temple•gardens, will be supplied by Mr. Barry. DurtitAm AND SUNDERLAND.—On Monday the proprie tors of this undertaking met, pursuant to adjournment, in the Commisioner3' -room at the Exchange-buildings, Sunder land. Mr. C. Bramwell, Chairman of the Directors, presided, but in consequence of the offer made by Mr. Hudson, on behalf of the Newcastle and Darlington Railway C:nn pany, to purchase the line, and a special meeting having been called for the 3d of :November, to consider the expediency of accepting . that offer, the companv separated without transacting any busi ness. Much inquiry has-been made as to what will be done respecting the new 401. shares issued last year for making the extension to Bishop Auckland, and improving the main line. It is stated, in well-informed circles, that should Mr. Hudson purchase the railway, the new shares will be called in, and the deposit money of 2/. each, with interest, paid to the holders of the scrip. A rumour prevails in the town, that a formidable opposition will be raised amongst the shareholders to selling the line at 301., or even 33/. 6s. 8d per share. It is proposed, we understand, to carry the London and Manchester Direct from Battle-bridge to Farringdon-street, on the atmospheric system, so as to obviate the inconvenience of noise and smoke. _ _ _ The heading in the Kingston-hill Tunnel, on the Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings line, has been carried through during the past week. Arrangements, it is understood, are in course. of completion between the Great Eastern and Western, who propose to run a line on the broad gauge from Yarmouth to Swansea, with another powerful company already established on the broad gauge system, for providing complete railway accommodation to the entire south of Wales. A deputation, headed by Mr. Ward, M.P., is now en route for Wales, with the view of ex plaining the advantages of the line to the ironmasters and mineral merchants of district. SCOTCH LINES. DUNDEE AND STRITIWIORE JUNCTION.—The Directors of the Dundee and Perth, and Dundee and Newtyle, have come to the following arrangements for improving the Newtyle line:-1. The Dundee and Perth Railway Company agree to lease the Dundee and Newtyle Railway and works and plant in perpetuity, and thereupon to guarantee to the present shareholders of the Dundee and Newtyle Railway an annual dividend of one per cent. upon the amount of their capital stock, not exceeding 115,000/. 2. That the capital of the Dundee and Strathmore. Junction Railway shall be 100,0001., divided into shares of 251. each. 3. That 1,000 shares of the stock of the said company shall be placed at the disposal of the Directors of the Dundee and Newtyle Railway Company, and the remainder of the shares shall be placed at the disposal of the Directors of the Dundee and Perth Railway Company. 4. That the new line shall be worked by the Dundee and Perth Railway Company, at a rate to be fixed upon by a neutral party, mutually chosen by the Directors of the Dun dee and Perth and Dundee and Newtyle Railway CoMpanies. 5. That after deducting the guaranteed rate of one per cent. on the stock of the Dundee and Newtyle Railway Company, and the working expenses, sec., the balance of the free revenue shall be applied, in the first place, in paying a dividend of six per cent. to the holders of the new stock; and in the second place the surplus shall be divided amongst the holders of the original stock of the Dundee and Newtyle Railway. 6. That early meetings of the shareholders of the Dundee and Perth, and Dundee and Newtyle Railway Corn • panies, shall be called for receiving the reports of the Directors of the respective companies in regard to the present arrange. ments, and fur confirming the same. ABERDEENSHIRE CANAL.—Arrangements, we understand, are now completed for the purchase of this canal by the pro moters of the Great North of Scotland Railway. This ac quisition will be of great importance to that undertaking; while the district, hitherto accommodated by the canal, will have no reason to regret the substitution of a railway for all their present or prospective wants. EDINBURGH, QUEINSFERRY, AND PERTH.—At a meeting of the trustees of the Queensferry, held on Saturday, it was unanimously agreed to lease the ferry to this railway com pany for ninety. nine • years, at the nominal rent of five shil lings, upon the condition of their taking all the debts and re , ponsibilities of the trust. Two branches or extensions, in addition to the line as originally planned, are intended to be included in the Bill; one to go round the west side of Loch Leven, keeping the towns of Kinross and Milnathort on the main line, and the other from South . Queensferry to Ratho, on the line of the Edinburgh and Glasg. w. At this point, it is understood, the Caledonian Railway will join it, and thereby secure a direct passage to the north, besides that by the Scottish Central, wear Falkirk. IRISH LINES. The Ulster Railway Company have advertised for tenders for loans in sums of not less than 1,000/. each, at 4 per cent. NEW NORTHERN.—A railway is projected to join Bally castle with the Belfast and Coleraine Junction, by way of Dervock and Ballymoney. This line would encourage the working of the only coal-beds in county Antrim. The Belfast and Ballymena Company have advertised for contracts for larch or Scotch fir sleepers. ULSTEd EXTENSION.—BELFAST TO DUBLIN, BY BAN BRIDGE TO NEWRY.-it will be in the recollection of our readers that at the last general meeting of the proprietors of the Ulster Railway Company, resolutions were adopted authorising the Board of Directors to take the necessary steps for extending their line by way of Banbridge to Newry and Dublin, and to make such arrangements in relation to it, with the committee of the Newry, Banbridge, and Belfast Junction Railway Company, as they might deem expedient. We are gratified to be able to state that an agreement was on Wednesday entered into between the committee of the Directors of the Ulster Railway Company and the managing committee of the Newry, Banbridge, and Belfast Company, settling the terms upon which the project of the latter com pany is to be carried on, under the direction of the Ulster Company, as an extension of their line under the above title. CONTINENTAL LINES. MAYENCE AND LUDWIOSUAFEN.—MAYENCE, Oar. 10.— The first general meeting of the shareholders took place here the day before yesterday. Neatly the whole of the share holders were present. The zeal and attention with which the Provisional Committee had transacted the affairs of the com pany was highly lauded. All hindrance in the way of its construction have been removed, and everything is ready for its eommencement. The expenses hitherto also have been exceedingly small, for even the interest of the 50,000 florins placed at the disposal of the committee has hardly been ex pended. ST. PETERSBURGR, MOSCOW, AND WARSAW.—It is said that the Emperor purposes not only to connect Warsaw by a branch line with the trunk line at present in construction from St. Petersburg to Moscow, but also to extend it to the Odessa, so that the trade of Poland will extend itself to the Black and Caspian seas. GREAT NORTHERN LINE.—The council of administration has been finally constituted. The following are the names : —The Baron James de Rothschild, Vice-Admiral Rosamel, Philippe Hottinguer, Charles Laffitte, Pepin Lehalleur, Adolphe d'Eichtal, Emile Pereire, Auguste Thurneyssen, Marc Caillard the elder, Delebecque, Gouin, Duke de.. Galiera, Jameson, Edward Blount, Baron Nathaniellile Rothschild, Jules Mallett, Duke de Monchy, Marquis Da lon, Francis Baring, Thomas Baring, John Moss, Baron Lionel de Rothschild, John Masterman, W. Chaplin, F. Mills, T. 0. Powles, Weguelin. The Baron James de Roths child is the president, and M. Delebecque the vice- president. In conformity with the 27th article of the statute, the general management has been delegated to a committee of five — namely, MM. Philippe Hottinguer, Emilie Pereire, Auguste Thurneyssen, the Marquiss Delon, and Marc Caillard the elder. The committee will have the management of all affairs; there will be no directors. The capital of the com pany has been fixed at 200 millions of francs, divided into 400,000 shares of 500 francs each. The extent of calls upon the shareholders for the construction of the works is not to exceed 875 per share, without a unanimous resolution to the contrary by the shareholders. The first instalment of 125 francs per share has been eff--cted by the originll subscribers, producing a sum of 50 millions of francs, of which sum 20 millions have been reimbumed to the Treasury for their ad vances. A further sum of four millions of francs has been lodged as a guarantee for carrying out the works of the branch lines from Lille to Calais and to Dunkirk, whiCh are to be immediately carried into execution by the company. The advances made by the Chambers, forthe execution of tile line fr.,m Paris to Lille and to Valenciennes, amount to 90 millions of francs, which sum, according to the decree of the 15th July, ought to be reimbursed in five payments; the first, in a sum of 20 millions, has already been made, and the remainder is to be returned in four annual payments commencing January, 1847, of 17,500,000 francs each. The company further will have to expend a sum of 20 millions of francs in perfecting the branch lines from Lille to Calais and Dunkirk ; to meet this outlay there remains to the company a sum of 30 millions out of the 50 millions they have re ceived. This sum will be more than sufficient to meet the necessary outlay for this and the succeeding year; therefore, according to this statement, there will be no occasion for a further call upon the shareholders for a period of fifteen months, that is, when the next instalment will become due to the State in 1847. NAMUR AND LIEGE.—Mr. Rennie, the engineer who has been engaged in tracing out the plans for the above line, has been occupied for several days in putting the works into active operation. The Minister of Public Works has been put in possession of the plans, &c, for that portion com prised between Seraing and the bridge of Val Benoit. CHARLERoY AND ERQUELINOES.—The President of 'the Council of Administration, M. Gordales paid a visit lately to the Chateau de Misericorde, near Marchiennes-au-Pont, for the purpose of pressing forward the works which are being carried on there. THE POTATO MURRAIN NEAR MANCHESTER.—we ave made inquiries of intelligent agriculturists and scientific friends, who have visited different districts in this immediate neighbourhood, and the result is a conviction that the dis ease exists here, though as yet in a very modified form. It is, however, exceedingly difficult to arrive at any precise conclusion at present, for a great quantity of potatoes in this neighbourhood are not yet gathered, and it is found that the murrain is later in making its appearance in some places than others. An intelligent friend, who has extended his inquiries in every direction around Manchester within a few miles, informs us that he believes the murrain to be more or less in every district in the neighbourhood, except in that about Cheetham-hill, which exemption he supposes to be owing to its very light and sandy soil. Indeed, the potatoes on the light, dry soils, are generally more free from murrain than those on the cold, heavy . lands. Careful microscopic observation has led several scientific gentlemen here to the belief that the disease is the same as that de scribed by Professor Morren, in a communication to the Brussels paper the Independence, as having nearly destroyed the potato crop of Belgium, and which the Professor de scribesw,mcsavtopoaeanpeaf:socroutsa appearance. found i n ete.f a nhiyi oi fungus nlussingnleoeasunsound pr l p i do peaoetti avi potato, ten: lo)oe,heardaps, considerations.d rfy a fterat t in m ip la o aa de fc e uelvnaf p e gnoeeocrkreul, advanced dearndtothtiess test appeared e s a t r i e l di further, the all f s u a r m th e er t ato decomposition. was p u t into wet earth for ten days, and even this renewal of moisture did not appear to cause the further spread of the disease. There is some difficulty in determininc , whether the brown fungus which overspreads the potato is the disease itself, or a natural consequence of previously existing disease. Professor Lindley, Dr. Lankester, and other botanical and physiological authorities, are of opinion that no pa asitic fungus ever attacks a healthy vegetable structure: that disease must previously have commenced before fungus could find a habi'at. The. practical importance of this question may be thus sta ted :—lf t h e disease is caused by the fungus, then the potato may be liable to it to any time, and fir several seasons successively. If the fungus is not the cause, but a natural consequence of disease, then in dry and genial seasons there is no reason to apprehend the ravages of this murrain.—Manchester Guardian. file, 6 supernumerary men in waiting, and 7 boys, under orders to embark for the West Indies, to join their service companies Major Deane, K.H., is ordered to proceed from Cork to Nenagh, and resume the command of the depOt com panies, as the embarkation of this officer with the draught under orders for the West Indies is countermanded for the i resent. 7th Royal Fusilier, Depot, Naas—Recruiting parties are ordered to march for Dublin, there to embark per steam vessel for England, en route to Bath, and Lewes, in Sussex, to be stationed.

INSPECTION OF THE WOOLWICH DISTRICT OF PENSIONERS. —Tuesday morning No. 1 company of the Woolwich district of pensioners was inspected by Captain Forbes, the com manding officer, in the Royal Artillery barrack field, where they went through their military manoeuvres with the utmost precision and regularity, and the body of men presented a very soldier-like appearance. A great number of spectators assembled to witness the military evolutions of the pensioners, who evidently showed that they were ready and willing to resume arms in the cause of their beloved Sovereign, should their services be required. The two battalions consist of 350 men, selected from the whole body of pensioners of the Woolwich district. TIIE LATE GENERAL Norr.—The neglected and disordered condition in which the grave of General Nott is suffered to remain in . St. Peter's Churchyard, has recently called forth from strangers who had been to visit the spot expressions by no means complimentary to the inhabitants. A stranger of some distinction, and apparently of military rank, visited the grave a few days since, and was net a little shocked and chagrinek at the absence of the slightest memento that could have distinguished it from the huMble memorials of mortality around. It is said of Voltaire that he built God a church, and laughed his word to scorn. A splendid menu merit is projected to the memory of Nott, while the remains of the hero lie neglected, and only rescued from obscurity by the hallowed association of the soldier's grave.—Carmarthen I Journal. A BRIG ON SHORE ON THE COAST OF KERRY. INcx ISLAND, Ocr. 13.—A large brig was driven on shore this morning in great distress. So imminent was the danger considered by the crew, that they all deserted her as soon as she struck, taking such of their clothing and valuables as they could lay their hands upon. Fortunately Francis Eagar, Esq., J.P., and agent for Lloyd's, and Francis Bland, Esq., J.P., were almost immediately on the spot, and they afforded every assistance in their power to the suffering crew—pro curing cars to transport their property and themselves to the nearest shelter, &c. It is but justice to say the country people, particularly two men named Cahalane and Moriarty, behaved themselves very well. and with the greatest kind ness, towards the shipwrecked strangers. The injured vessel proves to be the brig Princess Royal, Belihis, master, of 185 tons, from St. Andrew's, New Brunswick, laden with deals, twenty-eight days at sea. The masters wife, a most interesting-looking woman was very near being drowned in the attempt to get ashore. She owes her life to the intrepidity of some of the country people, who plunged into the water awl rescued her quite exhausted, she was soon happily revived by the use of cordials and resto ratives provided from the summer cottage of Mr. Bland, at Bunnear. Indeed, that gentleman's kindness and attention to the master and crew was most valuable and praiseworthy. INCH ISLAND, Ocr. 14.—The vessel remains in the same place still ; every effort was made by the Coast Guard of Bells, Minard, and Lack, to board her, but in vain. Mr. Blard and Mr. Eagar are still attending on the strand most anxious to have her boarded ; also the Revs. George and Jas. O'Sullivan, parish priests, who attended both days and ex horted their flocks not to commit any plunder in case of wreck.—Kerry Evening Post, y/ / Oil+ PUBLICATIONS rrHE - RAILWAY EXPRESS, PRICE SIXPENCE, JL contains original Paris Correspondence—The Money Market — Captain D.

Ifni ev ident thantt this line will be of great convenience and Wilily, affording . o part of the country at present deprived of it the advantage of railway communication with the counties of Rutiandshire, Leicestershire, Northampton shire. Warwickshire, &c., and thus connecting the agricultural districts of Lincolnshire with the manufacturing parts of England, affording to the latter an easy and accessible means of export for their manufactures. It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the advantages which will arise ffom this railway, which passes through one of the richest and most fertile parts of England. The population is dense, and a glance at the map will show that this line is well laid out, not only for the direct traffic from Leicester and the intermediate places to Boston, but also for the general traffic which will ne brought to this line by the several railways which will he connected with it. .. . _ _ " " _ PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCE)I ENT.

It is satisfactory to find, from strict calculations, that the pas,.-n -ger traffic alone arising from the densely-popnlated parishes through which this line will pass (hitherto -unsupplied by railway) will gave this a decided advantage over all other projects, and secure a pr.

I'ItOSPECTUS. This important line of railwaywiTl commence at a point on the Manchester and Bolton Railway, between Bolton and F arnwert h ' running, thence in a direct line through Worsley and Patricroft to a point on the Manchester South Junction and Altrincham Railway, with which it will form a junction, to Cheadle, where it will unite with the Macclesfield branch of the Manchester and Itirmhe ham Railway, by which means a direct railway communication ww i,l be opened with Macclesfield, and the various lines of railway pl, l see d to terminate there. The great advantage to be derived from a communication bet ween Bolton and Altrincham, and via Cheadle with Macclesfield, w ill at once be seen on reference to the map, not only as a feeder and chem. nel of communication between existing and projected lines, but also as supplying the link wanting in the chain el direct communication between Bolton, Blackburn, and a very large extent of the populous manufacturing districts and towns of the central part of the etunty of Lancaster, with the Staffordshire Potteries, the great iron dis tricts, Birmingham, and the metropolis, and consequently the biter mediate places in the lines of the various existing and projected railways between Manchester, Macclesfield, and the whole of the southern portion of the kingdom. An important feature in this undertaking is, that whilst It will, by means of existing and projecting lines, open up to the immense agri cultural and manufacturing population of Warwickshire, Stafford shire, and Cheshire, a direct communication with Southport, Black pool, and the ether watering-places situate on the coast of Lance shire; it will likewise form a continuation of the proposed direct lines from London (via Macclesfield) to Edinburgh and Che:gow, either by Fleetwood upon Wyre, or by the Lancaster and Carlisle lines. The sating of distance between Macclesfield and Bolton being im portant, whilst the great but unavoidable delays which must be in curred in passing through the different termini in Manchester N, ill b obviated. Another important feature in this enterprise is, that it will not materially affect any existing or contemplated lines, and that it will be able, by uniting itself with them, and with ether projected lines, and lines now in the course of formation, to increase their mu tual traffic to a considerable extent both in passengers and Beds ; and being the means of establishing a principle of reciprocity, cannot in any manner injure any existing interests. To the town of Bolton awl its neighbouring extensive coat fields, it is obvious this line will secure the most important advan tages by its connexion wil:i existing lines, and others projected which will centre there. It n eed hardly be added that whit all these advantages, a most important traffic for passengers and ;roods may be relied upon , indepe ndent of which, as the line itself presents no engineering dmiculties, or other obstacles of importance, and will be executed at an expense tiir below the ordinary avera g e, the most ample security to the capitalist is offered. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now paid until the Act of Parliament is obtained, and power will be reserved in the Act to allow 4/. per cent. interest on all calls. A certain number of shares will be reserved for the landowners and others having local interests in the line, and who are friendl y to the interests of this Company. SELLING OFF CARPETS.
