LEICESTER AND WEAN AND DOVE VALLEY JUNCTION RAILWAY. Provisionally Registered. A Company has been formed for constructing a short line of rail- Iv ay over a rich and important country, to connect the town of Lei cester and the South Midland Counties with the Tean and Dove Valley Railway. Anlnspection of the map will show that this proposed line Is essen tial for public accommodation ; and it cannot fail to be exceedingly remunerative to the Proprietors. A prospectus, sanctioned by a a highly influential Provisional Com mittee, will be published in a few days, and in the mean time corn mtuvications on the subject may be addressed to the Solicitors of the Zromoters Messrs. J. and J. RICHARDSON. Burton-upon-Trent. Mr. G. H. R. COX. Derby. LIVERPOOL, MANCHESTER, and NEW CASTLE-UPON-TYNE JUNCTION RAILWAY. The Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement will lie or signature at the Offices of the Company, No. 22, Parliament - Street, Westminster, from the hours of Eleven o'clock in the Morn ing until Four o' I bk in the Afternoon, every day (Sunday s ex cepted), from T T NEXT, the 9th instant, until TrzaDAT, the 30th instant. Arrangements will be made and notified for sending the deeds to Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Leeds, Hull, Halifax, Preston, Blackburn, Clitheroe, and other towns and places in the north, for execution by the liubscribers residing ,there.

The Line will commence :by a Junction at Ely with the Eastern °unties, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Huntingdon Railways, and "willterminate at Bury by a Junction with the Ipswich and Bliry hallway. Its object is to preserve the mercantile connexion which has for generations subsisted between the county of Suffolk, the town of fury, and the Port of Lynn, and to afford to Ipswich, Colchester, and Bury, and all that portion of the kingdom, a direct communica tion with the manufactuidpg districts. Tie distance from Bur,nd consequently from all places eastward of thaaltaWn to Peterborough—the point at which so many Lines pass ing from the south and east to the north and north-west converge— will, by the Ely and Bury Line, be ten miles shorter than the route to that City by way of Cambridge.

The Directors of the Nottingham and Mansfield Railway, feeling the serious importance of connecting this line with the Midlands Railway, have eesolved upon extending it to Clay Cross ; and, in or der to carry this important and popular project into execution, pro pose to raise an additional capital of 200,0001. This undertaking, connecting Nottingham and Mansfield with Chesterfield by means of the Midland Railway from Clay Cross, and with Sheffield and Yorkshire by means of the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield Railway, will form a desirable communication between these populous towns ; and, in consequence of the amalgamation of this company with the Nottingham, Erewash Valley , Amber - ga te, a nd anchester Railway: Company, and the Nottingham, Vale of Beivoir, and Grantham Railway Company, it will form altogether a direct communication between the agricultural districts of Lincoln shire, the Midlands Railway, and all the manufacturing towns to the north and north-west of Nottingham and Mansfield, and, by other amalgamations now in progress, of which finthernotice will be given, it will form a direct communication with Lynn, Spalding, Dereham, 4.ipsi.mv,Aßlo9/DrAgmerterienvgyte, ♦llll:vil•naii's 61: the latter, effect another outlet to the sea at Great Grimsby, and it is proposed to erect one common station at Mansfield, for the accommodation of passengers, and general traffic of the line. The proposed extension is intended to pass by the rapidly increas ing town of Sutton.in-Ashfield, thence bT Tibshelf to Clay Cross, thus opening the valuable and extensive coal fields in that district ; it will also approximate the lime quarries of Skegsby, which yield lime of tile finest quality, and is pecularly distinguished for its build ing properties ; it possesses a well-known preference over any other limo, and is almost exclusively made use of in the erection of bridges and culverts upon various railways in the midland counties of Eng land. The valuable free-stone of Mansfield and its vicinity will, by means of this extension, be conveyed to every part of the north. The cele brated magnesian limestone, which was especially selected, for its beauty and durability, in erecting the new Houses of Parliament, extends under a large portion of the immediate district of Mansfield, and will through this medium be attainable in almost every part of the kingdom. The general traffic at present is of a highly remunerative charac ter, and, when fully opened, will present a development of more than ordinary magnitude throughout the whole portion of the line ; the length of the extension will be ten miles, and the entire district is now wholly destitute of" any communication that can bring its nume rbterand valuable resources into a distant and more extended mar ket, and, as a mineral line alone, it will be found, from accurate cal anla4.lons made, to yield an amount of revenue fully commensurate with tee outlay of the capital proposed. The Directors have received a most satifactory report from the engineers, and the entire absence of all impediments, the facility of eonatruction, and general character of the undertaking, the great amount of traffic both in respect of passengers and merchandise, jus tify the confidence of the promoters in anticipating 10 per cent. upon the capital being realised immediately upon the opening of the line. The extended capital of 200,0001. will be divided into 8,000 shares et 251. each, upon which a deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. will be payable on Or before the 20th day of September. A portion of the shares will be reserved for the landowners and others locally interested ; the re mainder will be distributed among the present shareholders, who will have the privilege of receiving the new shares in the proportion of ens to every three now held by them, upon application being made by them in manner hereinafter-mentioned. The Directors, In compliance with the opinion of their Perna inentery agents,' deem it expedient to make a further call of 11. le. Gd. per share on those shares already issued, the recent " stand ing orders" of the House of Commons, which require a deposit of 10 per cent.. rendering this step essentially necessary. The shareholders are therefore requested, in order to carry this arrangement into effect, to deposit their scrip certificates with the /Secretary, on or before the 20th day of September; in exchange for which, they will obtain a certificate, upon which the bankers of the Company will receive the amount payable, and upon producing the receipt, and signing the new Parliamentary contract, fresh scrip cer tificates, duly registered, will be delivered to them. Power will be taken in the Act to abandon any portion of the line that may be doemed unnecessary by the Directors ; interest at the eate.of 4 per cent. will be also secured on the deposits as well as on all future calls, from the date of each payment until the opening of the line, or a dividend (*dared ; and the liability of Subscribers will be limited by Act of Parliament to the amount of their respective shares FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

ENGINEER—George P. Bidder, Esq. SOLICITORS. James Coppock, Esq., 3, Cleveland-row, London J. Henry Tillett, Esq., Norwich. WILLIAM SOLLY, Secretary. The object of this undertaking is to supply the northern part of Norfolk with that railway accommodation of which it is at present wholly destitute. It embraces all the towns in this extensive dis trict, and affords direct communication between them and the city of Norwich, which is the great mart for the agricultural produce of the county. By the junction of this line with the Norfolk Railway, and with the lines to Yarmouth and Lynn, this important locality will obtain the shortest and most economical route to all parts of England. This undertaking will prove of incalculable advantage to the agri culturists, to the owners of the large and important mills on the river Bure, and to the maisters and traders of the district, in the transmission of their commodities , and by placing them within easy communication of the ports and places from which coals and goods of every kind consumed in the district are obtained. The distinction which Cromer has deservedly obtained, as a most delightffil watering-place, will now be considerably enhanced by the direct communication thus established between it and all parts of the kingdom. The unanimous and most cordial support of the merchants and traders of Norwich is given to this project, as carrying out the prin ciple of direct communication for which they have so earnestly con tended. This line will be made with the co-operation and support of the Norfolk Railway Company (the amalgamated Norwich and Yarmouth, and Norwich and Brandon Companies) ; and powers will be taken to ratify agreements made with the Directors of that Company, for leasing it at 4 per cent. per annum on the outlay, and an equal divi sion of the surplus pr)fits. Competent engineers have already surveyed the line, and have re ported most favourably on the project, which is free from engineering difficulty. The greatest care has been taken to select the line which is best for the public interest, and at the same time to avoid interference with any ornamental property. Application for Shares, which, on account of their limited number, can only be attended to from applicants of first-rate respectability, may be made to the Provisional Committee, at the Offices of the Company, 65, Moorgate-street, London, in the following form ; or to the Solicitors in London or Norwich.

West India Chambers, Old Jewry, Sept. 4, 1845. SHREWSBURY, WOLVERHAMPTON, and BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE " RAILWAY CHRONICLE?' Sir,—The Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, Dudley, and Birmingham Company having some time since issued a notice that arrangements had been made with the London and Birmingham and other Com panies, securing to the Shrewsbury and Birmingham the use of the canal, I wish to draw the attention of the Shareholders and the public to the facts of the case as they now actually appear, and again prove how little ccnticlence can be placed in the official notices of the Board of Management of this Company, which have ever been re markable for their total deviation from truth. It appears from inquiry that the " negotiations" have been con fided principally to the London solicitors of the Company, and the result is as may be expected. The important Association formed for the conversion of canals in this district into railways have evidently no desire to connect themselves with a Committee whose public con duct has been so exposed in all the leading journals of late. All that has been obtained for the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Shareholders is, that if that Company shall obtain an Act of Par liament authorising the construction of the railway, as at present proposed, between Birmingham and Shrewsbury, they shall be per mitted to fling this aside and apply for another admitting them to some indefinite union with the Shropshire Union Railway Company. No doubt this will be a fine thing for the lawyers' pocket, who, report says, have already had not a small slice of the 35,0001. which has been spent in endeavouring to obtain an Act last session. Should, however, the Shrewsbury Company intend to apply for powers to amalgamate with the Canal Company in the next session, there is no cause to suppose that they will be more successful then than on a former occasion. Solicitors do not every day meet with a body of men so " confiding" as the Committee of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway have been, and it is naturally to be sup posed they will keep them in their hands as long as possible. Trusting the Shareholders will see through this new ruse, and take active measures to call the authors of it to account, if not for their own sake at least as a public example, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Camberwell, Sept. 5, 1845. WILLIAM I'ORTUS. 'nTHgCHAIRMAN OF THE THAMES EMBANKMENT SCHEME. Mx LORD, AM happy to see that a Company is at length 1 about to be formed for the completion of this great public work (the Embankment) in unison with the undertaking which is to be carried out by the Great Southern Railway Companies. It is a most mistaken idea to suppose that any successful result can be obtained from acting in opposition to the views and interett s of the persons and boards associated under the name of the London Central Terminus Company, upon whom your Atmospheric Line must depend entirely for support. It is unfortunate that the private interests of engineers, solicitors, or subordinate officers, or the petty pride of Directors in enjoying the independent control of their scheme, should so often prevent the accomplishment of so great a national benefit; or, as in your case, cause the capital invested by the public to be wasted in preliminary expenses.

Hetley and Co., and Messrs. Brodie and Co. Poole—Messrs. Ledgard and Co. The great and important object of this undertaking is to connect by a Railway in the most direct route, and of the least expensive character, the mail and shipping port of Southampton and the port and harbour of Poole, with Manchester, Liverpool, and the counties of Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Warwick shire; in fact, with the whole of the cotton, woollen, salt, pottery, and iron manufacturing and producing districts. It is not necessary ill this case to enter into the question of ex pediency or inexpediency of railway communication, the necessity and advanta:e of such a measure being obvious and fully admitted. This line commencing at Cheltenham, to which point railway com munication from the north already exists, proceeds to Cirencester and Marlborough, and then passing down the peopled and fertile valley of the Avon to Salisbury, meets with the railway now con structing by way of Romsey to Southampton ;. thus making the dis tance to Southampton as short as by any other practicable route, and saving the construction of twenty-three miles of railway. From Salisbury it is intended, still pursuing the valley of the Avon, to continue the line eighteen miles to Ringwood, where, meeting the Southampton and Dorchester Line, it communicates with Poole and the country below as far as orchcster. About four miles below Marlborough it is intended to make a branch in the same course as the Kennet and Avon Canal, about eight miles long, to Devizes. It has already been stated, that it is not necessary to enter upon the question of expediency of railway communication with South ampton ; but it is proper to state why the line here laid down is pre ferable to that from Marlborough by way of Ludgershall and An dover to that place. The latter is hilly, comparatively barren, and uninhabited, and consequently expensive, with very little local traffic ; and would have to depend in a commensurate degree on the through traffic for support ; it would also be necessary to make a line the whole distance, there being no existing line with which it could unite between Marlborough and Southampton. It is also open to the objection that it runs from Andover to Southampton parallel with and at a short distance from the South-Western line of Railway, which must necessarily leave it a very limited amount of traffic as respects that distance, even if it should not expose it to the powerful opposition of that company. On the other hand, this line passing as it does from north to south, through the heart of the county of Wilts, a distance of fifty miles, unites the whole of that county, obtains the traffic now existing between its towns, which is considerable, and affords with the aid of the branch to Devizes and the existing and projected railways, easy access from all parts of Wiltshire to the county town of Salisbury, and also to Devizes, the alternate assize town. Thus far, the greater advantages of this route as regards the line to Southampton only have been spoken of, and important as they are with reference to the interest of the shareholders, and the accom modation of the country traversed, a further advantage, not only to the shareholders but to the public attained by this project, has yet to be stated. By the formation of eighteen miles of railway between Salisbury and Ringwood, passing by the towns of Downton and Fordingbridge, the port and harbour and the town and county of the towrk. of Poole are brought within the operation of this comprehensive seheme. The harbour of Poole admits vessels up to 400 tons burden ; and it has been confidently asserted by practical men, that by a small , outlay improvements might be made to admit ships of the largest size. There are safe and quiet moorings for vessels, with ample quays and warehouses, and the dues and charges are about one-twelfth of the ordinary charges at other ports in England. The existing local traffic alone would, it is calculated, be sufficient to pay the Shareholders a remunerating dividend on the outlay required for making the line from Salisbury to Ringwood. In the item of Potter's Clay alone there are annually shipped for the Potteries upwards of fifty thousand tens, which, after reaching Liverpool, have to be transmitted b} inland navigation about sixty miles to reach their destination, at a total cost for carriage of 20s. per ton—every ton of which would unquestionably be forwarded from Poole by this railway. The stone of the Isle of Purbeck, vast quantities of which are used for flagging and building purposes, would find a much more extensive and ready market in the interior of the country, if there were cheaper and more ready and convenient means of trans porting it. The announcement of this project has been hailed with the utmost satisfaction both in the north and throughout every district over which the line passes, as well as by every interest identified with it, or affected by it.

T and TAHOURDIN, SOheitON: ) the Company. September 5, 1845. TO THE EDITOR OF TILE RAILWAY CHRONICLE. SIB,THE only advantage gained by the Shareholders of the Dudley and Birmingham Railway Company In their late negotiations with the Birmingham Canal Company is, that they will be permitted to squander, through the medium of their worthy Directors, another 35,0001. amongst their lawye• s and officers. When Lord Powis and the Shropshire Union Railway Company say they may admit them to a union "when they get their Bill," they know that such an unlooked-for event is never likely to throw them into con nexion with men who, to say the least, are afraid to face their Pro prietors. Even were the Shrewsbury Company to obtain an Act of Incorporation, what security have they that any terms of union will be offered to them that they could accept? The Shropshire party, however, are not to be played with ; they arc determined to get a railway, and there is to-day, I am informed, a great and important meeting at Wolverhampton, at which they have resolved to support the Grand Junction scheme, and permit themselves no longer to be dupes of London solicitors and Committee-men, who have no interest whatever in the district, and from whom almost all the parties of local influence have withdrawn their support.

The Box-office is open daily, under the direction of Mr. Grogan from Ten till Four. the march of events in America or in Africa ;—no one acquainted with these facts,cor giving due weight to these tonsiderations, can doubt that that portion of the French nation, to whom these exciting appeals ers so -mis chievously addressed, comprehends a very numerous, energetic, unscrupulous, and excitable community. The Debuts, which accurately understands the necessity . - of sustaining this excitement by providing, from time to time, fresh pabulum for its support, has now seized upon Hong-Kong, with the double purpose of gratify ing the community we allude to with the contemplation of the pleasing result that our acquisition has already proved, and continues to be, the grave of thousands of our gallant countrymen, and of insinuating that we are already on the point of providing ourselves with some far more eligible settlement on the Chinese coasts. But the notion it suggests of the grounds on which we shall " compel" the grant of it from the EMPEROR'S Govern ment is too eminently French not to be specially no ticed. It is said, "it would therefore be necessary for them to obtain from the Chinese Government either a new concession of the sovereignty of the island, or to find an opportunity of exacting it. Some imprudent attacks on the part of the Chinese population, like that which took place at Macao on the person of Mr. DAVIS, the English Commissioner, or that at Canton on Messrs. MONTGOMERY MARTIN and STAUNTOZT, and for which the English have, perhaps designedly, deferred demanding reparation, may pro bably, in case of need, furnish the opportunity which they are seeking. In the meantime they are expending a great deal of money at Chusan, and are la) ing the foundations of a durable establishment." RE-OPENING OF ASTLEY 4 S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE FOR I'HE WINTER SEASON.

Now this is precisely the sort of claim founded on an ex post facto statement of past injuries fur which the claim of compensation has been postponed, that the French authorities have acted on at Otaheite and in Morocco, at Monte Video, in Mexico, and on the Sene gal. But it is a little too much to assume that Great Britain would condescend to imitate a system of dis ingenuous policy that has already received the con demnation of all Europe. In what we have thus written, however, of the extra- vagant excesses to which the anti-English party in France is pushed by its credulous animosity, we desire to excite no contemptuous disregard for such manifesta tions. On the contrary, that party, we repeat, is nu merous, able, and powerful. Strong as the Government of M. GUIZOT may be to uphold the cause of peace, and of established institutians —vigorous and provi dent as is the character of the - KING of the FRENCH, no man can foresee at what moment the vicissitudes of political administration, the issue of party cabals and intrigues, and the course of nature may deprive th e world of the guarantees it now possesses, in a wise KING and an intelligent Minister at the head of the French DAVIDGE'S ROYAL SURREY THEATRE.

We, too, would implore our own Government to lay reflections of this nature to their own hearts; and not to relax in that course of vigilant superintendence and improvement which has been commenced, we readily admit, in many of the most important of our Executive Departments, but which, if carried out to a point short of timely completion, may even now prove but failures. Among the still uneffected, but indispenable, measures required to give its due efficiency to the most essential arm of the national service—our Navy—we must still complain, and we urgently complain, that no system has yet been organised of the nature we have so often dis cussed for securing a present complement, and retaining in all future times an adequate supply, of able seamen, by the establishment of a half-pay or allowance list for that purpose. We lament to find, that in acting on the suggestions of the Commission upon Harbours of Refuge, nothing has yet been done to develop the noble capaci ties of the harbour of Seaford, or to render the natural facilities of the road of Dungeness more available and extensive for similar purposes. We must also express the disappointment, in which we believe the public largely participate, that profes sional men of the highest authority and experience, loudly announce at the still undigested and un combined results of the various experiments which have been mado on the improvement of the construction of war-steamers, and the architecture and armament of men-of-war, with a view to the attain ment of the best sailing properties, and the most effec tive gunnery with the heaviest metal. The attention and energy of the Admiralty still require, we fear, to be acted upon by a ‘‘ pressure from without." THIS EVENING Will be performed THE CAPTAIN OF THE WATCH. Viscount de Ligny, Mr. C.

Should Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTII and Mr. MIALL persist in going to the poll, they will play into the hands of the Tories, and the votes of the Members for Southwark in Parliament will,in all probability, he neutralised. In other words, Southwark will be unrepresented for all useful purposes, and the ho nest, liberal, and radical constituency, will not be one whit better off than the corrupt electors of disgraced Sudbury. The supporters of the liberal candidates know to a certainty which has the best chance, indeed, there can be no doubt on the subject, and for the sake of obtaining a candidate that professes most of their political views, would it not be better to sacrifice one in order to keep out their enemy ? The result of the elections at Man chester and Durham ought to be a warning and teach the Radicals, that so far from opposing Toryism, they are lending by their obstinacy the most effectual support to its obnoxious tenets. Mr. FEARGIIS O'CoNNoR, as if to add to the mischief, advocates the claims of the weaker party, thereby doing everything in his power to return a Tory. We do not blame him for putting forth his peculiar opinions on all suitable oc casions—we do not even suspect for a moment that he would prefer PILCHER to MOLESWORTH, but we blame him for want of tact and prudence, and for endangering the Liberal cause by encouraging dissension among its friends. Cannot be perceive what joy this dissension causes among all the enemies of liberty and reform, and how gratified these oppressors of the people are in seeing some well-meaning, but injudicious, opponent throwing the apple of discord among Reformers, and thereby in suring their own triumph ? Let us hope, however, that the honest electors will not be misled, and that South wark will not be subjected to the disgrace which now attaches to not a few free constituencies. Accounts have been received from Madrid to the 29th ult., when the city was perfectly tranquil. Letters from Saragossa also announce that the attempted resistance to the payment of the new tax bad been unsuccessful and order had been completely restored. The QUEEN was expected at Pampeluna on the 2d inst., and the French Princes on the 4th. In reference to this inter view the Tiempo says :—" Whatever may be its object and result—whether it be the Count TRAPANI or Count MOWTEMOLIN who is to divide With MONTES the honours of that city—it is at 'Nast certain that towards the mid dle of next month the Court will have returned to Ma drid ; and those fears enterta;ned by the most prudent and cautious men, will not; be realised. Such at least is our opinion, and as such we express it loyally and forcibly. The marriage will not bare taken place ; there will be no VILUMA Ministry ; nor, in a word, will any of those things happen which some persons of our various parties prognosticated." No business was done on the Madrid Bourse on the 29th ult. The Paris papers contain no political article• 3 of the slightest importance.. We were glad to find that two of the most violent .41 -them have taken up subjects of a more useful char: toter. The Presse has corn !nenced a series of artif :les on the liberty of the sub ject, which, in France:, appears to be of the very smallest amount possi :Me. That journal complains that the law neither defines imprisonable offences, nor the rank or s tation of the magistrate, by whom a warrant may be issued. The accuser can select the committing mad :is trate, who has the power not only of arresting him, L ut of confining him secretly, and forbidding all inter urse between him and his family for an indefinite p eriod. We doubt the state ment. The Charter did zof leave the liberty of the subject in such an un de fined state ; and we con fidently believe that rt o magistrate can com mit to prison, without a limited period being fixed for the trial of the ac cased. The National com plains of the mode of appc ting persons to Government offices, on the ground that a %, rcnan according to the presen practice cannot obtain aG( ernment situation unless he has gone through a regular • • course of study at the uni versity. We believe the pri ictice prevails only in refe_ rence to certain appointmei its for which, of course, a suit able degree of instruction i B r .ecessary. However, these are laudable endeavours, a nd it will be gratifying to find these rabid journals dire cti ng attention rather to the social evils of France than , .eternally meddling with the affairs of their neighbours. It appears from the official journals that a division of_l rp inch troops, under the com- mand of Colonel ST. ARNAUD, had made another attack upon a body of Arabs, who had taken refuge, like those at Dabra, in a cavern, but it had been conducted in a more humane manner. Two dispatches, dated Al giers, Aug. 15 and 19, had been received from Marshal Bucr.Ann, stating the particulars. In the report of the 15th the Marshal es an recount "of a successful attack made by a French force under Colonel DE ST. ARNAUD, on the 7th, on the Scheriff BouA•MAza, who was at the head of 200 cavalry and some infantry. The enemy was completely defeated. The Scheriff escaped with difficulty. His brother, one of his officers, and several of his cavalry were killed. On the Bth .Colone ST. ARNAUD received information that the enemy bad retired in a great measure to their caverns. Without losing an in4tant he proceeded to blockade them. The report says At seven in the evening the in vestment was complete ; in this operation we had two soldiers wounded. There were, it is said, in the grot- toes a hundred armed men. The various summonses made up to the departure of the courier had been re ceived with insult and the firing of muskets." In the report of the 19th the Marshal says—" The siege of the grottoes of Sbehas has been less distressing than that of the Ouled-Riahs ; we were able to devote much more time, as the column of Colonel DE SAINT ARNAUD was isolated, and was not required to mist in any other operations. The explosion of a mine killed a few per sons ; the rest, alarmed at our incessant proceedings, capitulated. Our soldiers, always humane, did not show less activity in extracting these unfortunate wretches than they had shown in labouring to compel them to surrender." The report goe3 on, to state that, on the 13th, Lieut.. Colonel D'ALTONVILLE, at the head of 600 men, made a forced march of eight leagues at night, to fall upon the Scheriff, who had retreated to the rocks near the sea, in the country of the Ouled , _.----------- „„ %VFW:" MONEY and COMMERCIA.I, '',, - pk g.

He again escaped, with one of his wives, to an inaccessible rock, abandoned by all his men, and leaving his tents and flocks, and the whole of his smala, The same chief, however, soon after left his hiding place, and appeared at the head of 400 horsemen in the territory of the Beni Zaugzougs. The Governor of Al i lianah dispatched some cavalry in pursuit of the party, and also two companies of infantry to supp•Jrt the ca valry. The former, however, having rather incautiously advanced, were suddenly attacked by 300 mounted Arabs and obliged to retrace their steps, with the loss of one killed, three wounded, and four horses. The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers :- " At En, on Tuesday, the King, with the Queen and the Princess Adelaide, walked in the park from half-past three till five o'clock, attended by the Minister of Public Instruction, Generals Athalin and d'aondetot, and M. Brahaut, one of his Majesty's orderly officers. "Prince Jerome Napoleon has left Paris. According to a report mentioned by the Gazette de France, he received a promise before his departure that the law of proscription against the Bonaparte family shall be revoked, or considerably modified. " The Duke d'Aumale left the Château de Belfort on Mon day for Pampeluna. His return is announced for the 9th. During the absence of the Prince, Major General Tallandier takes the command of the camp of the Gironde. " The Weser Gazette publishes a letter from Denmark, in which it is stated that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of that country intends to go to England and Austria, with the view of obtaining from the Earl of Aberdeen and Prince Metter.- rdch the guarantee of the unity of the Danish monarchy and the succession to the throne. " The Cologne Gazette gives accounts from Tiflis to the 3d ult., according to which the Russians, after their success at Dargo, were so much harassed by the enemy, and experienced so many privations, that Count Woronzoff was compelled to order a retreat to the Russian territory, No intelligence of this kind appears, however, to have been received from any other quarter. " The Leipsic Gazette publishes a royal degree against meetings and associations in Saxony, having an avowed or dis guised political object, as being contrary to the resolution of the Federal Diet of July 5, 1832. -The late meetings for the dis cussion of the new German Catholic Church question have, it is stated, rendered this notice necessary."

SIB.,—My attention was the other day arrested 14 a state• ment in The Sun of the 28th ult. regarding the Manchester and Birmingham Railway. I have cut out of the paper, and attach hereto, the article alluded to. It says : , 6 We are informed that no railway in the country exhibits so large an increase of traffic as the Manchester and Birming ham line. The receipts of the last two weeks, as compared with the corresponding period of last year, aro as follows :- 1845. 1844. Week ending August 8 £4,453 £3 035 , Ditto' 15 ... 4,216 3,332' I have referred to the official returns, and find that the above quoted returns are incorrect. The receipts Bth August, 1844, should be 3,6351., and the receipts 15th August, 1844, should be 3,5321. This gives an increase on the first quoted week, at the rate (dropping fractions) of 23 per cent., and on the second week about 19 per cent. Allow me, by way of contrast, and for the information of your informant, and through him the public, to direct his and their attention to another, as yet comparatively little known railway—l mean the Preston and Wyre—leading to the flourish ing port of Fleetwood. It is only 19 miles long, and the Man chester and Birmingham is 31, or nearly double the length. The receipts of the Preston and Wyre for the last month have been as follow, and I defy your informant to point out another railway in the hingdom where the increase has been so great : Week ending 1845. 1844.

He would not like to let it for a season, and then find all the gold taken off the gingerbread, and this would be the case if it is to be furnished, as he is de sirous to do.

Payne, at the Steel yard Tavern, Upper Thames-street, respecting the death of Mr. John Weir, aged 24, a commercial traveller. It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses, that on Thursday morning the deceased and several friends proceeded on hoard the Wedding-ring steam-beat to Gravesend, on a pleasure ex cursion. The deceased seemed in excellent health, and joined in several quadrilles and country dances, as the vessel proceeded down the river, and on reaching Gravesend dined with the proprietors of the boat. He returned to the boat in the company of a young lady, with whom he danced as the boat was on the way to London. About twenty minutes to ten, as the steamer was off the Custom-howe, the deceased was ob s'rved to fall suddenly on the deck. His friends ran to him and lifted him up, and sprinkled his face with water. A sur gecn named Savoury, who was on board, used all efforts to re store animation, but the vital spark had fl ad. The surgeon was of opinion that the deceased had fled from disease of the heart. Verulct—" Natural death."

SECOND EDITION: Obvaing (7-Atit4 LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1845. We do not think it necessary to put our readers upon their guard against the exaggerated spirit in which those articles that we have extracted from some of the French journals, on the subject of the affair at Tamatave, on the coasts of Madagascar, are written. The hatred of England—that hatred which is sure to be produced in un generous minds by the recollection of past defeats on the part of their own country, and of extreme moderation in victory upon ours—is the rankling passion to which the Censtitutionnel (and, we are sorry to add, the Journal des Debats of late) are constantly appealing. It is that demon, ever jealous of the increasing respect and friend ship which the two great rivals on the theatre of human civilisation and political grandeur are reciprocally mani festing for one another, as the lapse of years rolls back the epoch of their last destructive contests, which is incessantly invoked by the unprincipled writers of a party that cannot hope fcr influence or power in the direction of public affairs in France, except in a season of wars abroad and tumultuous factions at home. To the Moloch-worship of this Ent. ONE the political fanatics we speak of would freely sacrifice, if r th es e trai strong arm ar public the e inion did n o t c hain down law, and the yet stronger their turbulent activity , all that is great and estimable in France and in England ; and, in the very first instance, that good understanding be tween the two Governments in the maintenance of which ille off the peace and happiness of Europe and of the world at large are so deeply interested. We will not do so much honour to the rancorous speculations in which the political jealousy of these writers has been lately in dulging on the event of the attack on Tamatave by a joint force of English and French sailors as to re-quote them. That attack resulted, it is well known, in a virtual discomfiture of their European assailants by the native Malgacbees, whose intre pidity availed itself to the full of all the advan tages by which it was aided—a position of remark able strength, well improved, excellently fortified, and defended by numbers very far exceeding those of their assailants, with cannon that seem to have been well served. The disparity of the loss respectively sustained by the French and the English crews, united in this conjoint operation (on the merits or misma nagement of which it is impossible to pronounce any opinion in the absence of official accounts and docu ments) has supplied the mctivo of a whole chorus of grumblers, accusers, and bellicose malcontents in the French newspapers. But their indignation and their insinuations, their suspicions and their irascibility, are alike too ridiculous to be gravely dealt with or seriously answered, excited, as these purport to be, by the fact that seventeen of the French and only four of the Eng lish crews fell in this attack. The French journals can not, or will not, understand how this disparity of loss can have occurred. They seem to be incapable of so much elevation of sentiment as to attribute it to a most unnatural, but a generous ardour on the part of their own sailors, to distinguish their bravery and resolution under the very unusual circumstances of being associated with ours in a descent upon a common enemy. They seem equally oblivious of the fact that the governor of one of their own colonies, having directed or organised the expedition, in all probability assigned the post of honour, that is of danger, to those who bore the flag of France. But the speculations of these journalists on the disaster which has been sustained at Tamatave ought not to be without their fruits. They should suggest matter to us of very grave reflection. No one who is aware of the extensive circulation of the Debats, to say nothing of the talent with which the Paris Constitutionnel is written, or of the general ability and widely-diffused sale of other French papers, devoted to the same hostile depreciation of Eng land, her power, her resources, her strength, her policy, and the motives which it suits their purposes to attribute to that policy,—whether the subject of their animadversionsbe one of European or Asiatic interest—of PROSPECTUS OF THE QHROPSHIRE MINERAL RAILWAY, forming, in conjunction with other existing and projected lines, a direct communication between Liverpool, Manchester, Shef field, York, and Hull, and Swansea and South Wales.

The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Company will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed from thence by Eccieshall, Oflley, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donningten Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Dawley, Madeley, and Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed " Wor cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenleek edge, by Rushbury and Eaton-under-Haywood, to Wistanstow, in the county of Salop, where it will rim into, and form a junction with the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway." The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire coal-field, to a depot proposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the supply of South Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and Herefordshire, and also from whence it will be conveyed by the " Hereford, Shrews bury, and North Wales Railway," into Montgomeryshire and the neighbouring counties, where coal does not exist. It Is impossible to calculate the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the 'direct railway communication thus opened between the Shropshire coal-field, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown and Llanidloes, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at those places, and tile flannel manufacturers, now depend ing upon water powQr, will, by the cheapness of coal, be enabled to employ steam, and to extend their trade in proportion to the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, in preference to any other. The Importance of this subject will have its due weight with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused by the stoppage of the mills from an Insufficiency of water. A considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shrop shire ironmasters, for the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh bourhood of Much Wenlock to the furnaces, by several transits of land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey it direct into the heart of the works, and at one-third of the expense. By its junction with the " Grand Junction" and the "Hereford and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communica tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, York and Hull, and Swansea and South Wales. As a junction line alone (connecting as it will such important rail ways), a large passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it is considered that the centre of the line cascoc thr.no‘ w deelocly populalad, .the remainder through a thriving, agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a sufficient local traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of capital required to be embarked. The line, which will not interfere with any property of an orna mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles in length, and will be constructed at much less than the average cost. The co-operation of the principal landowners on the line has been 'lsecured, and no opposition is anticipated or can be sustained against the measure. The liability of the Shareholders will be limited, by the Act, to the amount of their subscription to the capital stock ; and power will be applied for to allow interest at the rata of four per cent per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the further calls, from the date of each payment until the opening of the line ; and the first deposit being paid, a further call will not be made until the Act of Parliament shall have been obtained. Maps of the line, prospectuses, &c., are to be obtained from the Secretary, the solicitors and local agents ; to whom also applications for Shares (which must be on printed forms) may bd addressed_; and it will be necessary that reference be made to a banker, solicitor, or person of responsibility. PERSONAL SECURITY.-MONEY. Mr. WYATT, of 10, Gould-square, Tower-hill, has to apprise Noblemen, Gentlemen, Officers on full pay, Ladies of rank, &c., that he continues, as he has done for years past, to CASH the NOTES of Noblemen, &c., of known credit and fortune, and to Dis count approved Bills of Exchange to any amount, in sums of not less than 2501. each, dates not to exceed twelve months. As refer -ences of the highest character can be given, it is requested that none but those of known reputation will apply. , N.B.—Personal applications to be made, between Twelve and Three, on Tuesdays and Fridays only. MARINE VILLA, OPPOSITE THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE'S, AT BRIGHTON. rim BE LET, for a term of years, A MARINE JL VILLA, vis-a-vis to his Grace the Duke of Devonshire's Mansion in Kemp Town. It may be well to observe that the resi dence to be let has just arrived at its completion. It has been erected at an immense expense, under the guidance of a celebrated architect, and completed by Mr. Reynolds, who has justly acquired so much fame and celebrity in his erection of the Kensington Park villas at Bays water; it is fitted up in the most perfect order throughout, and, for tact and elegance, the ensemble claims to have no successfhl rival in Brighton. There is a double coach-house, four-stall stable, and four convenient rooms for the male portion of the establishment over the same. The rent, for fourteen or twenty-one years, 250 guineas a year. It is fitted throughout with elegant massive statuary and other marble chimney-pieces and corresponding stoves in every room, with a kitchen apparatus most perfect. The following is a short summary of what will be conspicuous within :—There are four superior bed chambers, five smaller ditto, and three dressing-rooms; two noble drawing-rooms, isga..rooms, with elegant conservatory, balcony, and verandah ; tg o ezxsellent dining parlours, library, lots of closets, and four com- The basement is faultless ; it includes housekeeper's-room, and butle-room attached o m m ;strong n ; g s store-room, closetsr e - r oo;ma, famousse r servants'-hall, kitchen,hal l ,foo capital't footman's-room, an 's r fi oo tte , up ; cool larder, coal, wine, and beer cellars, &c.
