IHIS Line of Railway is projected to supply the re quired link in the chain of railway communication between the counties of Lancaster and York, and the ports on the north-eastern and north-western parts of the kingdom. It is intended to commence at or near the proposed ;rations of the Leedsand Bradford Extension and North - Western Railways at Skiptoii, whence it will proceed by LLOYD'S REGISTER OF BRITISH AND Bolton Bridge, and thence either by the valley to the FOREIGN SHIPPING. south of the Harrogate-road, as far as Pace Gate, by ESTABLISHED 1834. West End, across the river Washburn, and along the rr HE Committee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's banks of the Nidd, by Hampthswaite (or otherwise from 1 Register of British and Foregn Shipping, beg to an- Bolton Bridge, along the valley of the Wharf, by Adding nounce that, in accordance with arrangements mutually ham, Ilkley, Burley, and Otley,) to Harrowgate and Knaresborough, near which it is ;- '-nded ' c--- agreed upon, it has been determined by the Committee for the Liverpool Register, that the operations of the Li verpool Society shall cease on the 13th instant. In re printing LLOYD'S REGISTER BOOK for 1845-6, steps will be taken for continuing for the present, in an Appendix, the Liverpool Classification to those Ships to whose Owners it may be due ; but,- for the future, only ONE REGISTER BooK will be fished for the use of Subscribers. This, it is con ntly hoped, will be found finally deserving of the c inued support of the Mer chants, Shipowners, an nderwriters. ..ated to form a junc tion either with the line proposed by the Great North of England Railway Company, called the " Harrogate and Ripon Junction" or the " Leeds and Thirsk Railway," and also with the " Harrogate and Church Fenton Rail way," which latter line is projected by the York and North Midland Railway Company. The length of this connecting line of railway, as at pre sent proposed (including a branch to Pateley-bridge, in the event of the line by the valley of the Nidd being adopted), will be about 27 miles ; the districts through which it will pass abound with lead mines and lime stone of a well known and excellent quality, but from the present want of railway or canal communication, and thelocal traffic being conveyed by casts over bad and difficult roads, the neigh bourhood is now without the means of obtaining 'coals, except at a mosc enormous expense, and its resources are therefore very partially developed. This line of railway will altogether remove these disad vantages, and will; in conjunction with other railways now in operation or in course of construction, effect a direct communication between the ports of Liverpool, Lancas ter, Preston and Fleetwood, on the north-west, and the ports of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Whitby, Scarborough, and the free port of the Tees, on the north-east, and will also produce a saving of upwards of 40 milts in distance over any existing or proposed railway. It will also per fect the communications between the important manu facturing districts of Lancashire and Yorkshire, compris ing the great populations of Bury, Bolton. Blackburn, Accrington, Burnley, Colne, Clitheroe, Huddersfield, Halifax, Keighley, and other towns in the neighbourhood, The superintenden,of the affairs of the Society will remain as heretofore, vested in the Committee for " Lloyd's Registe.," in sttict accordance with the rules, Section 8 ; but the Committee will have the advantage of the co-operation of the Committee at Liverpool, from which the most favourable results may be expected. By order of the Committee, CHARLES GRAHAM, Secretary. 2, White Lion-court, Cornhill, London, Bth May, 1845. LIVERPOOL REGISTRY OF SHIPPING. THE Negociat ons between the Br)ARDS o f MA NAGEMENT of the LONDON and LIVERPOOL SOCIETIES for the REGISTRATION of BRITISH and FOREIGN SHIPPING, which commenced in July last, having been renewed, the Committee of this Society have the gratification to announce that an AMALGA MATION with the SOCIETY for LOYD'S REGIS TER has been finally arranged, that the operations of this Society will therefore se on Tuesday, the 13th natant For the future, the Busiffess of the Port of Liverpool will be conducted un.ler tXe superintendence of•the present Committee, in immedifte connection with, and subject and the vast agricultural districts of the North Riding of Yorkshire and the north-castern parts of Evg!and and Scotland, and will be a means of mutually opening out to, the Committee for Lloyd's Register of British and Foreign Shipping; an arrangement which, it is hoped, will give general satisfaction to the Shipping Interests of products of each other, as well as to the coal fields of Durham, in a manntr hitherto impracticable. It will also afford a direct route from the north-eastern parts of the kingdom sod the East Ridiogof Yorkshire to the lake dis tricts of Lancashire, Westmoreland, and Cumberland. The nearest and most direct route between Ireland and the Continent via Fleetwood and Hull will be given by the proposed lice and the railways in connection with it, and it will also be the nearest way from Manchester to Newcastle•upon-Tyne and Durham. The local traffic of this line will afford ample remuner ation for the capital expended. The communication will Harrogate and Knarasbo rough will be of great importance, for it is stated on the best data that near two-thirds of the visitors to those places are from Ireland and the districts of Lancashire, with which this railway is in direct communication. The importance of the traffic to those places is also evident from the fact that the experienced directors of the Great North of England and. the York and North Midland Railway Companies have each projected branches from their main lines on the north and south, with almost the sole view of connection with Harrogate and Knares- By ord er of the Committee, FRANCIS LITTLETON, Secretary t May, 1845. Liverpool, sth BIRKENHEAD, MANCHESTER, AND CHESHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY. THE Committee of this Company have felt it thPir duty to submit to the House of Commons a Bill for conrructint; so much of this Line as extends from the Chester and Birkenhead Railway / to the Grand Junction Railway near Warrington. y" Theii; reason for doing sris, that this portion of the plan includes the only lop y works of the Line, and if the Company be permi/tfd to proceed with the execution of them under the an'thority of an Act this session, no practical injury will be sustained by the Public or the Company from the postponement of the remainder of the Line until the next session.

The proposed line will not be a competing one with any other existing or projected line of railway, it will feed the several lines proposed to be connected with it, and it is supported by the Leeds and fhirsk ; the Blackburn, Burnley, Accrington, and Colne : the Blackburn, Dar wen, and Bolton; the Blackburn and Preston; the Man chester, Bury, and Rossendale; the Preston and Wyre ; and the North-Western Railway Companies. The line has been carefully surveyed, and the levels accurately taken, and it is estimated that the line will be constructed with favourable gradients at an average cost.

THE PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE regret to have to inform the Shareholders, that, owing to the unex pected decision of the Select Committee on the Standing orders of the House of Commons, they are unable to proceed this Session with the measure brought before Parliament. As the Line of Railway they proposed has received the decided approval of the B9ard of Trade and the support of the manufacturing dtstricts, and as the error which caused its rejection scat purely clerical, the Committee are determined to proceed to Parliament for the Bill in the next Session. In the further prosecution of this measure the Com mittee desire only the cooperation of those who feel per fect confidence in it ; and they, therefore, give notice, that all Shareholders who, on or before the twenty-first May instant, signify, in writing, to the Secretary of this Company, that they de,ire to reiinquish their Shares, and who cause the Scrip to be produced to him, will be paid the full amount of their deposit of Five Pounds per Share; and that all Shareholders who intend to continue proprie tors are, on or before the twenty-first May instant, to signify, in writing, to the Secretary, their intention to do so, and state the numbers and particulars of the Scrip held by them.

NARVAEZ, PRIME MINISTER OF SPAIN.—III Narvaez we find the faults and the virtues of the soldier of fortune ; prompt decision, great energy and determination, on the one band—cruelty, impolicy, and violence, on the other. Since hs advent to power, although the vigour of his government has prevented civil war and checked insur rection, that has only been accomplished by a system of despotic cruelty worthy of the days of Ferdinand the Well-beloved. Countless instances may be adduced in support of this assertion. Executions, like that of Zur bano and his family, have been defended by the argument, that the sufferers were rebels against the established go vernment of the country. and as such deserved the fate they met. Rather a flimsy argument, it appears to natio a country in which revolution flourishes as an evergreen plant. How is it to be decided which is the rightful go vernor, and which the usurper? who shall say whether those in power are there by right as well as might ; or whether they are merely successful rebels, banditti on a large scale, who have seized upon place and power with as much justice, and by the same violent means, as high waymen of inferior grade possess themselves of the purses of travellers ? But even if we concede this point, and admit that whoever holds the reins, though but from yes terday, and with a blood-stained band, is justified in slaughtering by wholesale all who show a disposition to drag him down again, it will still be impossible to palliate the treacherous and tyrannical proceedings of Narvaez. The inhabitants f Madrid, lured out of their house, by the bait of some joyous festival, the streets hung with banners and strewed with flowers, the fountains playing wine and milk—on all sides rejoicings and festivity ; the . . . insouciant light-hearted Castilians — forgetting fora while the misfortunes of their country, and giving themselves up to the unrestrained enjoyment of the uiom•nt. But there are those amongst them who will soon trouble their pleasures ; agents of their rulers, tutored to excite them to some apparently rebellious demonstration. A shout or two, interpreted as indicative of disaffection, and caught up by an excitable mob ; and immediately battalions ap- pear upon the plaza, dragoons gallop out of the side streets, bayonets are lowered and sabres bared, and amidst the clatter of the charge, the screams of women and the oaths of men, the festal garlands are trodden under foot, and blood reddens the pavement. "On many a fiesta, or day of saints," says our author, which Spain regards as of special holiness, plots and snares were thickly strewn around the people's footsteps ; murder lurked beneath the wreath of festivity, and the day which began in prayer, concluded with mourning." During the three days' re joicings on occasion of the Queen's majority, scenes of this sort occurred. " They invited us to a ball," said the people, in the true Madrileno spirit—" they invited us to a ball, and we had to assist at a funeral." The object sought to be obtained by such barbarous means, was the intimidation of the populace, and the deterring of revolu tionists and progresistas. The suppression of the national guard produced another alboroto, or disturbance. A crowd assembled, and moved through the streets, giving vivas for the constitutional Queen, and mueras for the ministers and the traitors. Narvaez asked no better chance than this. Out turned the palace guard, composed of strong bodies of infantry and cavalry, and, without a moment's delay, charged the mob, which, although prin cipally composed of national guardsmen, was unarmed, save with a tew bayonets and knives. In all the adjacent streets, people were running for their lives ; and the con gregations, which were then just leaving mass—for this occurred on a Sabbath morning —recoiled for safety into the churches.—Blackwood's Magazine. MISTRANSLATIONS.—One Of the Paris journals, in translating an article on the proposed expedition to Monte Video from the Madrid journal El Tiempo, the sentence, " It is to be desired that the expedition should appear as quickly as possible at the Rio de la Plata," is translated ' It is to be desired that the expedition should appear as quickly as possible at the 'flat river." The person wbo translated Rio de la Plata ' flat river,' must be the same person who translated the English word pineapple, when describing a Lord Mayor's feast, by the French word pomme de pin, which means in English the seed of the Pine tree." A SINGULAR CRL►ST.—Thomas Fitz-Gerald, father of John, first Earl of Kildare, bore the sobriquet of Nappagh, Simiacus, or the ape, from the following ludicrous circum stance :—When he was an infant of nine months old, his grandfather and father were both killed in the war waged by them against M'Carthy, an opposing chief. He was then being nursed at Thralee, and his attendants, in the first consternation caused by the news of the disaster, ran out of the house, leaving the child alone in his cradle. A large ape or baboon, kept on the premises, with the natural love of mischief inherent in that mimic tribe, taking advantage of the circumstance, took him from his resting place, and clambered with him to the roof of the neighbouring abbey. and thence to the top of the steeple. After having carried his noble charge round the battle ments, exhibiting the while various monkey tricks here tofore unknown to nursery maids, to the no small con 'rnation and amazement of the spectators, he dee,ctnded with careful step, ad terfam firtnatn, and replaced the child in the cradle. In consequence of this event, the earls of Kildare and other noble branches of this ancient line assumed as a crest, "An ape proper, gilt about the middle and chained or," and for supporters, two apes. The addition of the rApin is singular.— ThR Curiosities of Heraldry. MlanteD. ALADY, long accustomed to Tuition, wishes to engage herself as GOVERNESS.

GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY A spccial general meeting of the Grand Junction Rail way Company was held, yesterday, in the Cotton Sales Rooms, Exchange-buildings, for the purpose of consi dering and deciding as to the following measures, proposed to be authorised by acts of pt.rliiiment in the present session—viz , the construction of railways from the Grand Junction Railway to Shrewsbury, to Stoke-upon-Trent, to Dudley and Runcorn, respfctivily ; the Trent Valley. Railway ; and the amalgamation of the Grand Junction, Liverpool and M.nchester, North Union, Bolton and Leigh, and Kenyon and Leigh Railway Companies. The meeting was very numc: ously atanded. hn Moss, Eq., chairman of the directors, presided. The CHAIRMAN said that, although the proprietors had been called together apparently for a great many things there was only one, the amalgamation of the Grand Junction with the Liverpool and Manchester and the adjoining lines, which world be brought before them to-day. The other bills mentioned in t:,e circular were now being discussed before Parliament; and the directors thought it hardly Gir to call upon the proprietors for their consent or approbation to them whilst they were liable to be changed. They were not, indeed, in a stage when they could be produced, and another meeting would have to be called with respect to them. The chairman concluded by ceiling upon Captain Huish, the secretary, to read the heads of the 'Liverpool and Manchester Amalgamation Bill, as they had passed the Committee of the House of Commons. Captain Iluxsu read the marginal heads of each clause. 73 in number, and Mr. CHARLES LAWRENCE moved that the customary powers be invested in the directors to consent to any alterations in the measure which they might deem expedient or that Parliament might require. Mr. Ats . roN cordially seconded the motion, but begged to give notice that he wished to make some remarks with respect to the differences between this company and the London and Birmingham. The CHAIRMAN said this meeting had beers called for an express purpose ; and the fewer observations that were made at it upon anything except the bills now before par liament the better. Mr. ALSTON would put himself entirely under the con trol of the directors, for he did, not mean to say one word offensive to them or to the proprietors : and certainly nothing injurious to their interests. The CHAIRMAN stated he should be sorry if any re marks were made at this nnegling thai would call forth any observation upon the prereedings in parliament and elsewhere. Mr. ALSTON. in continuation, said, that when he read in the proceedings in Parliament that charges of fraud were made in bringing forward one of the measures, it was high time for the proprietors to consider whether they were going on under a good system. Eight or nine months ago be wrote from Scotland to an influential pro prietor recommending that the differences with the Lon don and Birmingham should be left to two or three pro prietors from each of the companies, who might look into the whole question of dispute. At that moment, however, he did not anticipate anything so serious as that they should come to mutual accusations; and if it were per sisted in it, would shake the confidence of the whole pro prietors. The expression was that the other company had been guilty of fraud in proposing certain things. He could shew it in print to the meeting. He did not agree with the charge himself; but he wanted to see a better spirit between the two companies. for he had a pre fect confidence that they might carry on their measures ultimately with more harmony. In recommending that two or three pr:Trietors from each company should meet, he had not the least desire to take any power out of the hands of the directors. He bad, on the contrary, entire confidence in them as men of honour and integrity, but when hostility was carried to the lengths it had been, he considered it incumbent upon him to bring the subject forward The CHAIRMAN said that in July the directors thought that every thing in the I%ay of agreement might be ac complished. Three gentlemen were appointed to meet on each side with that object ; but unfourtunately the event did not so turn out ; and unless you could bind gentlemen to perform all that was promised, he did not see how it could its _ . ALSTON. You stated at the last meeting that there was " war to the knife." The CHAIRMAN, I do not recollect saying that. It was said, but not by me. Mr. ALSTON in continuation said, the observation of the chaiiman was that there appeared to be no hope of a settlement. He (Mr. Alston) did not appear to defend his own interests in this railway, but as the advocate of distant proprietors, of females, and those under age, who could not speak for themselves. The proprietors present represented those who were absent, and on this ground he felt imperatively bound to state his sentiments. If he was not justly entitled to move a resolution upon the subject now, he should ask for another meeting specially. The CHAIRMAN was sure Mr. Alston was the last per son in the world to do anything to injure the Grand Junction Railway : but to ask for a meeting of the kind he. had mentioned would be to stop all present proceed ings both in parliament and elsewhere. Perhaps the most sore point of all with the London and Birmingham Com pany was, the Birmingham and Oxford line with which Mr. Alston was himself connected ; but that was a ques tion which he was stye Mr. Alston would not enter upon in this meeting. Mr. ALSTON was obliged to the chairman for men tioning the Birmingham and Oxford line ; first, because be had no selfisb remarks to make for its benefit, and _ _ next, because it afforded him the opportunity of saying, that the approbation of that line, without reference either to the Great Western Company or the Grand Junction, was universal. He was also bound to say that the direc tors of the Grand Junction were decidedly opposed to anything being said with respect to it, hostile or ill natured towards the London and Birmhigham. With regard to the proceedings in parliament, he had had some experience in parliamentary business, and he was sure that a friendly conference between two and three proprie tors on each side would not have prejudiced their proceed ings, whilst it might have done great good. Captain Huistt said Mr. Alston had used the word "fraud," as hating been employed in parliament. Mr. ALSTON.—In a committee of parliament, Captain HUIStI.—In a committee. He had been pre sent every day during every sitting of the committee, and he was not aware that that word, or anything tending to convey the same impression, had . been applied by any one connected with the Grard Junction Railway towards any one connected with the London and Birmingham Rail- Way. The word " fraud" was used, but it was brought forward by Mr. Pease, of Darlington, who appeared in the position of an opponent of the bill ; but he was not a a shareholder in the Grand Junction. The committee was upon the Trent Valley Bill. Mr. ALSTON attended the meeting as a peacemaker; and the explanation given did not alter the spirit of his remarks. Very strong and aggravating remarks had cer tainly been used, as the whole of the proceedings before the committee showed. The power which the Grand Junction had over the Trent Valley Bill a!so showed it. It might be three months before there was another meet ing of the Grand Junction Company ; but he honed that long before that time they might be at peace and amity towards whom they were now at davgers drawn. The CHAIRMAN said they were all peacemakers. Every one wanted to make peace. But it was not always best to endeavour to secure peace by consenting to every ! Ye U. • 1 • • '• • the directors, be (the Chairman) hoped that three months hence he would have cause for satisfaction, whether the Grand Junction was in alliance with the London and Birmingham or taking care of themselves. He (the Chairman) had no apprehensions himself; and he had no cause to f el uneasy at what had taken place during the last few weeks. Mr. RAMSDEN, as a proprietor in both lines, expressed . _ The shareh,lders in both undertakings felt very uneasy at the conduct of both boards of direction ; for they thought that if the present disputes were hit to gl on as they were, no opportunity would be afforded at all for a settlement. The present moment be considered most propitious for some arrangement, and Mr. Alston's plan might now be put forward with great usefulness. The Lond,n and Bir mingham had lest almost all their points. They had lost the Birkenhead line; they had been foiled in the Churnet Valley ; they had, in some degree, lost the Trent Valley ; and the bill for the purchase of the Manchester and Bir mingham line had been thrown out. Under all the cir cumstances be repeated that a better time for an amicable settlement of all differences could not have occurred. The. CHAIRMAN explained that on the occasion of the first dispute in July last, the London and Birmingham board had refused arbitration. From the first moment he (the Chairman) had been connected with the Grand Junction board, he had never heard one expression hostile to the London and Birmingham, and they had never yet advanced a single hostile step. What had the Grand Junction ever done ? They had merely stood upon the defensive. With the exception, when the time arrived when they must protect themselves, the Grand Junction had never moved a step. Mr. RAMSDEN explained, that he found fault with both boards. Mr. CASSON contended that there had been, yet was, and still would be a practical hostility between the two companies. He had, himself, in the London and Bir mingham Company endeavoured to he a pacificator, but he stood alone. He disapproved of the amalgamations then proposed with the Trent Valley and the Manchester and Birmingham. He regretted this practical hostility; but, if the Grand Junction was to be disarmed at the moment when the sword was brandished against it, then they bad arrived at the proper p er i o d f or a se t t l emen t ; they bad then arrived at a period for peace, which would result in the entire sacrifice of their property. In the present posture of affairs the moment was not propitious; and he was prepared to vote the fullest confidence in the directors. After a few words from Mr. ALSTON, the Chairman put the motion, and it was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN and Captain 1 - lutsu then stated that, a good deal of anxiety had been expressed with respect to the making of quarter-shares. Those shares were contin gett upon the passing of tie different bills; but, even if the bills did not pass, the same amount of capital would be required in another shape. Themeeting then separated.

The weather, after being ex ceedingly showery for some time past, became at once beautiful, and the lively green, displayed on every plant, was only surpassed in beauty by the richness of the com paratively many flowers that already decorate the gardens.

When they collect every particle cf down or straw which accident places within their cages, they desire to lay their eggs, and materials for a nest should be given to them. To this sufficient fond for two or three days should be added, that they way be disturbed as little as possible.
