THE proposed line of Railway unites the flourishing and manufacturing town of Carlisle with the seaport town of Maryport, passing in its route through the town of Wigton and close to Dalston, and extends in length about 28 miles. Its object is to join the Railway already in progress, and now nearly completed, between Newcastle and Carlisle, at the latter place; thus opening a direct, safe, and speedy communication across the Island, and uniting the German Ocean with the Irish Sea. The advantages of the project must be obvious to all; for with the exception of the turnpike roads, the only communica tion at present existing is by the Carlisle Canal to Bowness, and the navigation of the Solway Frith. The projected line passes for about ten miles through a wide and extensive Field of superior Coal, for which there is a very great and increasing demand, as well in Ireland and Scotland as in the immediate neighbourhood; besides passing through the manufacturing districts of Wigton and Dalston, and offering thereadiest and best Transit for the Cattle, Pigs, Butter, and other Agricultural produce of Ireland to the populous towns and districts of Carlisle, Hexam, Newcastle, Sunderland, and Shields; and on the other side, to the passage of Dutch, Baltic, and German Goods and produce to Ireland, and the whole cf the Western Coast of England. In addition to this, the quantity of Lime and Limestone which adjoins the Railway, must prove another source of traffic along the line for the supply of the Agricultural districts; as also the transit of Stone, 'Timber, Slates, and Fire Bricks, which now pass to and from Maryport in great quantities by the ordinary conveyances. The estimated expense of this undertaking which has been made under the superintendance of that eminent Engineer Mr. GEORGE STEPHENSON, will be about £7,001) per mile, and for that purpose it is proposed to raise a Capital of £2(X),(10) in shares of £5O each. The amount of Returns will, according to the calculations made, afFord a profit of upwards of ER) per cent. on the capital advanced, after payment of the current xpenses. It is intended to apply to Parliament in the next Session for an Act to authorise the carrying the Plan into effect. Applications for Shares in the meantime addressed to the Committee, are to be made to Mr. TYSON, Solicitor, Maryport; Mr. LawsoN, Solicitor, Wigton ; and at the Office of Messrs. ADLINGTON, GREGORY, FAULKNER, and FOLLETT, Bedford- Sow, London. A deposit of £2 per Share will be required to be paid into the hands of the Bankers on the allotment of the Shares, and the rest of the Capital will be called for as the work advances. THOMAS IIAMPSON, Sharebroker, 13, Chapel-street, Liverpool. REPORT. To the Provisional Committee of the Maryport and Carlisle Railway. GENTLEMEN,--I now beg to inform you that my assistant Mr. Hatt, having arrived in London, and laid before me a ful account of the investigation which he has made of the Country between Maryport and Carlisle, with respect to the nature of the Levels he has taken in the various districts in your neighbour hood, I have duly considered the merits of each district he has levelled through. I find that the Line running more parallel to the sea as far as Westnewton is more favourable as regards Levels to that place, when it would diverge towards Wigton, where the Levels are less favourable ; this route would also be more circuitous, and would entirely miss the Coal Field. It gives me great pleasure to inform you that the route I first described to you is the most favourable that the country will ad mit of, not only with respect to Coals and Lime, but is also very much superior as a Line for Passengers; and I am happy to state that it is a more favourable Line than I anticipated. The Levels will be favourable for Locomotive Engines, and as the Line is very direct, with few curves upon it, high velo cities may be attained. From the Coal district running along the Line for eight or nine miles from /tfaryport, Coal will be brought to the Shipping place at an extremely low rate. It is much more favourable for that traffic than if the country had been a dead Level ; the same advantages will be had from the Limestone, which lies on the Maryport side of the ridge. The next mineral productions, namely Limestone, &c., pre sent themselves on the Carlisle side of the summit, and will be carried through that District at a very cheap Rate. The Coal will be conveyed from the Maryport side of the Summit to Calcine the Lime on the Carlisle side, and will be found of incalculable benefit to the agricultural interest in that district. The whole length of the Line appears to be about 28 miles. I should recommend that the portion of the line running through the Mineral district on the Maryport side of the ltidge be made a double line throughout the whole length, but only one line to be at present laid down, except on that portion I have mentioned. From the full information Mr. HALL has given me as to the nature of the Country, and its capabilities for producing Mate rials for making Bridges and forming the Road. I am enabled to inform you that I think £200,000 will be a sufficient Capital to execute the work to the extent I have mentioned. 1 am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, GEORGE STEPHENSON. 16, Duke-street, Westminster, 3d yfa y, 1836. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES To the Committee of Man age m ent of the Maryport and Carlisle Railway Company.

COMSULTING ENGINEER—George Stephenson, Esq. Office, Armagh. THE object of this Company is to make a Railway from the the Ulster Railway at Armagh to Dublin, unconnected with any of the parties promoting the Railways from Drogheda to Dublin, and now opposing each other in Parliament, (one of them advocating a coast, and the other an inland line) and to avoid either, a Line lengthened by several miles along the Coast, or an Inland Line, prolonged by attempting to connect small towns, both of which would neccessarily be attended with considerable increased expense, the fixed and determined principle being to have a communication by the shortest, most level, and least expensive Line between Dublin and Belfast by Armagh, and that the different Towns on each side of the Line should, if it be considered expedient, establish Branch Railways. To attain these objects it is proposed, that the Line should commence at the northern extremity of the City of Dublin, cross the Royal Canal, proceed thence in a northern direction towards the village of Ratoath, west of Duleek, and cross the River Boyne, about five miles westward of the town of Drog heda, thence westward of Colton to Ardee, thence westward of Newtown Hamilton, straight to the City of Armagh, and _there join the Belfast and Armagh Railway. An Act having already passed for the Belfast and Armagh Railway, Surveyors are now engaged in taking the Levels and making the Surveys, Maps, Sections, and Estimates necessary. in order to obtain an Act for the Armagh and Dublin Under taking in the next Session. To defray these expenses, the De posits will be applied, as far as may be necessary, under the direction of the Provisional Committee. The Committee, as they deem expedient, or when called upon by holders of 1,000 Shares, shall, from time to time, call General Meetings of the Shareholders. But, so soon as the number of Shares tor each Applicant shall have been allocated, a General Meeting of the Shareholders must be called, and Permanent Directors, Committee, Auditors, Secretary, Trea surer, &c., appointed. General Meetings to be called by ad vertisements in the public papers; giving at least Ten Days' notice. Shareholders resident at a distance greater than ten miles from Armagh may vote by proxy; one vote to be allowed for each five Shares, but no one Shareholder to have more than 20 votes, though possessing more than 100 Shares. Communications have been had with the great Landed Pro prietors, and others along the Line; and the undertaking has been so well received, as to give every reason to expect, not only assent, but co-operation and support. The proposed Line will complete the communication from the Metropolis of Ireland by Belfast, to Scotland and the North of England, and will obviously be the course of con veyance for his Majesty's Mails, as well as for Passengers and Goods. Applications for Shares to be made, in Belfast, at the Ulster Railway Office, Fountain-street; in Armagh, to the Secretary, or any of the Provisional Committee ; in Dublin, at the Offices of the Solicitors, and at Messrs. Boy LE, Low, Pit, and Co's.; in London. to H. and J. JOHNSTON and Co.; in Manchester. to THOS. CART/WELL; in Glasgow, to J. MARTIN and J. and G.

(IN WEDNESDAY, the 11th M a y, 1836, a ver y numero us and kJ respectable MEETING of the PROPRIETORS was held at the Bank, Foster-place, at One o'clock, THOMAS R. NEEDHAM, Esq., was called to the Chair. James Dawson, Esq., read the Report of the Provisional Committee as follows: • REPORT. From the Provisional Committee of the Royal Bank of Ireland to the Subscribers. GENTLEMEN,—Thd Provisional Committee, previous to re• signing the trust reposed in them, consider it their duty to submit a statement of their proceedings. The formation of the Royal Bank of Ireland had been for some time under consideration prior to the formal Prospectus published in the Dublin Newspapers. This appeared on the 14th April last, and was followed by such numerous applications for the Stock (far exceeding the number mentioned as neces sary to constitute the Company) that the Committee deemed it necessary for the permanent interest of the Company to restrict the further issue of Shares, except at a premium justified by the average demand, such ptetnium to form a reserve fund for the benefit of the Proprietors, as is the usual course of proceeding in the sister country under similar circumstances. An Advertisement to the foregoing effect was published on the 18th of April, since which date no Shares were allocated by the Committee under the sum specified except in cases of pre vious applications, which on examination and inquiry were as certained to have been sought for prior to the 16th. Committee On the allotment of Shares founded on the applications made, the Committee, in pursuance of the Pros tits, called for the first Instalment and Outfit of £5. ss. one h £5O Share, which was promptly paid into the Bank of S• Robert Shaw, Bart., and Co. to the credit of the Provisi Committee as Trustees for the Royal Bank of Ireland. Th sum so paid in for Instal ments, Outfit, and Premium amounts to £101,300, and has been for the greater part invested in the security of Government Stock, &c., convertable into cash at any moment required for business. A large proportion of the Shareholders are wealthy English Capitalists, and about 4,000 Shares, in addition to those paid on, mar be considered, from the Correspondence in possession of the Committee, engaged by highly influential parties in Lon don and Liverpool and in Scotland, at a premium on an average of £2 per Share. Under those circumstances, and as the second Call of £5 per Share, to be made in forty days from the election of Directors, will produce a further sum of £92,400, making in the aggregate a suns £193,700 at least available for the commencement of business by the Company, the Committee submit the inexpe diency of any further issue of Shares except at an equivalent advantage or premium, to be regulated at the discretion of your Directors, until the lapse of the first half-year or year of actual business. They do so with the more confidence, as the London and Westminster Bank, which has had such a prosperous re sult, retained part of the Capital Stock as reserved Shares until the result of their transactions had demonstrated the fair value thereof. At their General Meeting recently held, the subject having been submitted to the Proprietors, the issue was autho rised at a premium of £4. 10s. per Share, such premium to go to the credit of the Company. Following the example of the above Company, and adhering to similar principles of action, the Royal Bank of Ireland will be constituted, according to the intention of the Prospectus, as a Bank of Deposit, Discount, Loan, and Agency in Dublin, and within a circuit of fifty miles thereof. The principle acted upon in Scotland of allowing Interest on Deposits, and on the balance of running Accounts, has been recognised by the promoters of the Royal Bank, as also that feature so essential to the welfare of Ireland, more particularly in commercial undertakings—a total freedom from polit'cal bias and party considerations, founding their claims to public con fidence upon the extent of Capital, a wealthy Proprietary, and a liberal system of transacting Public Business. Since the formation of your Company other projects for Banking purposes have been announced, proposing to do busi ness in the City of Dublin. If such projects be carried into execution, they should not discourage the Royal Bank of Ire land, but, on the contrary, prove an additional incentive for active exertion. Honourable rivalry in commerce is quite legi timate; but illiberal opposition from interested motives should in every branch of commerce be discountenanced. Your Com pany possesses superior advantages, from its having been the first placed before the public, from the arrangements made and stated in the Prospectus, calculated to ensure an early com mencement of business, with capacious and eligible.Bauling Premises secured for the Company on the responsibility of its largest Proprietor, Mr. Herbert Hardie, of Manchester, toge ther with all the facilities of an establishment in business, which may be continued (in addition to that naturally to be expected) without the slighest interruption. It is for the Directors you may select to consolidate these ad vantages; your Committee have done but their duty in advert ing to them. THOMAS R. NEEDHAM, Chairman to the Provisional Committee. _ 21fay 11. 1836.

SoLimon—Mr. Woodhouse, Bolton. r HIS Railway is intended to commence at or near the ter minus of the Manchester and Bolton Railway, at Bolton, and proceed thence along the Valley past Red Moss and Chor ley, and forward to Preston in such direction as may appear most adapted for securing the general interests of the proprie tary, and accommodating in the best manner the traffic of the district. The Line of Road crosses the various strata of Coal, Cannel, Stone, and Flags, with which this part of the country abounds. A Line of Railway from Blackburn is contemplated, to join the Bolton and Preston Line north of Chorley, and though the. Line to Blackburn will not at present form part of this undertaking, it will, when completed, add considerably to its business. The Provisional Committee, in deciding upon the terminus, will keep in view the facility and propriety of con necting this Railway with the North 'Union, the Preston and Lancaster, and the Preston and Wyre Railways, and the Lan caster Canal, and will proceed to Parliament for powers to construct an independent Line to Preston, or to branch into the North Union Railway, or both, as may hereafter appear most conducive to the interests of the Company, and the general ac commodation of the public. The Provisional Committee have communicated with Mr. Rastrick, the Engineer, whosurveyed this Line in 1831, and, with a view to the possession of the Plans, Survey, and Estimates made on that occasion, they have invited the Subscribers thereto to incorporate themselves with this undertaking upon the follow ing terms: — That the holder of a Share for £lOO in the old Company shall be privileged to claim a £5O Share in the new Company in lieu thereof. That this privilege be confined to such of the old Subscribers as have paid up their Calls of £3 per Share, and such payment shall remain to their credit with the present Company. The Shares claimed in pursuance of this Resolution are 1699, and the total number intended to be issued, founded upon Mr. Rastrick's calculation fer a Line complete from Bolton to Pres ton, will be 6,000 of £5O each, leaving 4,301 to be awarded to new Subscribers. -- The Provisional Committee will not receive any applications for Shares after the 6th day of June next, such applications to be addressed (post-paid) to Mr. WOODHouss, Solicitor, Bolton, endorsed "Bolton and Preston Railway."

Interest, with a certain prospect of a future increase of Interest, from the great demand fur public and private situations. This appeal is made to the public under the firm conviction that the proposed Association will afford a safe and profitable investment, that it is not liable even to the character of Specu lation, that it is perfectly free from all attempts to mislead the public mind, and that it has no feature in common with any of those delusions which characterise too many of the ephemeral projects of the present day. The steady increase in the value of Land and Buildings in Liverpool and its vicinity is so well known that it requires but little penetration to predict that it has not yet reached the acme of its real worth. The Funds and Property of the Company shall be vested in Trustees, to be chosen by a majority of the members, at a General Meeting. The Title Deeds belonging to the Association shall be de posited in a place of safety, to be fixed upon by a majority of the Members present at a General Meeting.

That in case any of the Committee or Directors shall die, or otherwise be deemed incapable or unfit to act in the manage ment of the affairs of the Association, then a special meeting of the subscribers shall be called, to fill up the vacancies in such manner as a majority of the members present at such meeting shall determine. That at every annual election of Officers, three of the Direc tors and seven of the Committee shall retire from office, but they shall be eligible to be re-elected.

By means of a Pier, extending from the Great Ormeshead, made at a reasonable outlay, the material being on the spot, a most magnificent and spacious Harbour will be formed, which, as a comparatively free Commercial Port, will possess immense advantages, besides avoiding the expensive and dangerous ap proach to the Mersey. As an Asylum Harbour for the Shipping of Liverpool it will also be of incalculable value, as from its station, depth of water, and safe anchorage, vessels of the largest size, in all weathers and at any time of the tide, may run in dnd anchor in safety. It will be the most direct communication between Dublin and London, and must eventually become the Irish and American Packet Station.

CHARLES SIMEON, DMA- Senior Fellow of King's College, Cambridge. A NEW EDITION. In Parts, price 4s. 6d., in stiff covers, and in Volumes, pricklos., cloth and lettered. O ne vo l ume , an d occas i ona ll y twili will be published every month until completed. TN announcing, after so short an interval, a Second Edition of this extensive and valuable Work, the Pr rietor feels, even more forcibly than in the first instance, t t any recom mendation of it, on his part, would be at one nnecessary and improper. The long-established reputatio of the venerable Author did not then leave room to douPyin what way a com plete edition of Mr. Simeon's W o rks wkild be received by the public; but now the opinion on the strength of which he engaged in so extensive an undertaking has been confirmed, in a decisive manner, by the sale of a large edition. He has nothing, there fore, now to do, but simply to repeat the several grounds on which the merit and utility of the Work are deemed to rest, and then to explain the mode and terms of the New Edition, which is now in the press. In the first place, then, as the Author has avowed in his Pre face, these exegetical compositions are designed to assist the studies of the Younger Clergy in their PREPARATIONS FOR THE PULPIT ; and considered in this light, the Work, it must be confessed, stands alone in the circle of theological literature; nothing which can properly be compared with it having been hitherto attempted—or at least given to the world. As exemplars of a popular and practical exposition of Holy Scripture in those va rious methods of which, under the guidance of a sound judgment and a correct taste, the Sacred 'Writings are susceptible, those numerous compositions (in all 2536) can hardly fail to be highly useful. If studied in accordance with the intentions of the Author (as explained by himself) they, will tend to impart facility in the arrangement and distribution of thought---corn prehensiveness in the exhibition of the chief articles of faith and practice=copiousness and variety of illustration—and an efficacious mode of anplying the facts and precepts of religion to the heart and conscience of the hearer. The Hoax Homt- LETICX are intended, not to supersede the industry of the preacher, but to assist it; and are offered to him as pregnant elements upon which the powers of invention may so be exer cised as shall at once cherish tbose powers, and give even to their earliest fruits the richness of maturity. Again, in passing over the entire ground of Holy Scripture, and in fixing the mind with undisturbed attention upon each passage which offers itself as eminently fraught with instruction, the Author has, in the most natural and in the safest way, pro duced what may be well designated a BODY OF DIVINITY. In our own times a signal change of method (a change much promoted by Mr. Simeon himself) has been gradually taking p, lace- so that, instead of those logic a l, an d, it m i g h t b e a dd e d, metaphysical systems, Within which Divines were wont to digest the too artificial products of their scholastic studies, a return has been made to the primitive and more modest method of a simple explanation of the text of the Inspired Writines, To put out of view every theory of sacre d t ru th d ev i se d by'human ingenuity, and to adduce, as the very ground of faith, and as the only rule of duty, the SEN SE op S CRIPTURE, i s now the a i m o f every judicious Divine. In accordance with the principle of this remarkable improvement (for such it may surely be termed) a consecutive exposition of passages is manifestly to be preferred to an arbitrary arrangement of doctrines and duties. It need hardly be said that the fencer is the mode adopted in the present Work • and these v o l umes are o ff ered to the Student of Divini ty, in the confidence that they will afford him very effectual aid in the serious and arduous labour of acquiring a sound and comprehensive acquaintance with the Religion of the Bible. With an express view to facilitate this use of the Work, the GENERAL INDEX of Subjects has, with great care, been so con structed as to enable the reader easily to collate and to combine for himself, the entire amount of scriptural evidence, bearing upon each leading article of faith and duty.

OMIT,RTIC: S to the promotion of clerical studies, they claim to be considered as a proper instrument of FAMILY INSTRUCTION; and as fit, in every respect, to constitute a part of those daily or weekly Domestic Readings which are supposed to take place in e very' religious and well-conducted household. Nor should an impor tant distinction be here lost sight of--namely, between an E; - position of the whole of Scripture, such as those—admirable ag they are, of H e n r y, D o dd r id ge , an d S cott, w hi c h yet may 11°t he suited to the purposes of family worship; and an Exposition like that comprised in the present Work, which, without TIT fessing to afford a commentary upon the entire Sacred Text' verse after verse, seizes upon every prominent point, i m prove each striking occasion, am plifi es w h a t ever i s most tnomentonc, exhibits with force and distinctness each illustrious example, and thus culls from the broad field of biblical history, poetry', prophecy, and didactic apalogue, whatever seems to condense within itself the very e ssence o f th a t " w i s d om w hi c h com et' from above " It is believed that as a Biblical Commentary these compos t ,i tions will better su s tai n th e attfmtion of a Christian F a mily, an better convey the great principles of religion, than exposition s of a more elaborate sort.
