T HE object of the promoter s o f thi s R a il way i s to con nect, by the most easy and direct, and the least ex pensive route, the large manufacturing towns of Man chester' Bolton, and Bla c kb urn , w ith t h e N orth of Eng land and Scotland, and at the same time to afford to the Inhabitants of the district traversed by the line the utmost possible facilities for obtaining Cotton, Dyewoods, Provi sions, &c., from the ports of Liverpool, Preston, and Fleetwood, and Coal, Flags, Slate, &c., from the exten sive mines and quarries of Lancashire, and in return transmitting their Fat Cattle and Live Stock, their ma nufactured and Printed Goods, and also Lime—a com modity which abounds in the district, and is constantly required in large quantities for bleaching, building, and agricultural purposes, but can at present only be obtained at a charge altogether disproportioned to the original cost, owing to the heavy expense of the ordinary mode of con veyance by carts. This Railway is intended to form a continuation of the Lines of the Blackburn, Darwen, and Bolton, an d th e Blackburn and Preston Railways, from their joint Station in Blackburn, and to pass through Billington, and near the Village of Whalley, to a convenient Station at the North side of Clitheroe, from whence it will follow the Valley of the Ribble, or its tributary Streams, to such point of Junction with the North Western Railway, near Long Preston, or Settle, and by such route as shall, upon the most minute examination of the country, and on the fullest consideration of all the circumstances, be found the cheapest and the best adapted for the purpose. Surveys and Sections have been taken of the entire Line. The length will be about twenty-five miles, of which the portion from Blackburn to Clitheroe will be ten. It has been determined to fix the Capital at £450,000, which sum, it is believed, w ill b e more t h an sufficient to complete the object intended. The Traffic which may be expected to pass over the proposed line will be derived from sources sufficiently ob vious to all acquainted with the district to be pervaded and opened, but it is impossible in the present stage to enter into details, or precisely estimate the extent. The pro jectors, however, are already in possession of sufficient data to justify them in coming to the conclusion that a return of 6 per cent. on the capital will be obtained by the shareholders. It would not indeed be difficult to prove from the resources of the country, that a larger rate of interest might reasonably be expected, but it has been thought proper not to put before the public any other than moderate statements on this head, from a conviction that the merits of the undertaking are of that substantial and self-evident character as to render it unnecessary to re sort to speculative representations, with a view to obtain public countenance and snpport. The promoters of this Railway deemed it advisable to delay the publication of their Prospectus until the Bill for making the Railway from Blackburn, through Darwen, to Bolton, (with which it is proposed to be connected as above stated,) had made such progress in parliament as to leave no doubt of its receiving the sanction of the legis lature. The Committee of the House of Commons, to whom that bill has been referred, having reported in its favour, and the Directors having already taken measures for proceeding immediately with the construction of their line, it is presumed that the proper time has now arrived for bringing this ulterior project before the public. The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted by Act of Parliament to the amount of his Subscription, and it is proposed to a ll ow i n t eres t on t h e pa id -up capital. Applications for Shares are requested to be made in the annexed form, and to be transmitted to the Solicitors —.— There are no difficult earth-works on the line. The gradients are most easy. A survey of the whole line has been completed. In the allotment of Shares every preference will be given to parties locally interested. A prospectus, with full particulars, will be issued in a few days. Application for Shares must be made in the form ap pended, to Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, Thread needle-street, London; William Dutton, Esq., Solicitor, 58, Ebury-street, Earon-square, London ; or Messrs. PARSONS and TOWNLEY, Liverpool; Messrs.

Among the first was the religion of the East, from Christianity being com pelled to' bear upon imperfect civilization but on a most perfect mythology. In India and China the Missionaries found the people imperfectly civilized, but with a perfect mythology; they found a creed among them of vast anti quity, fixed and established religious principles; and avinst all this Christianity had to direct her efforts. This difficulty must be met by some instrumentality more compacted, more learned perhaps than anything that our Church had yet sent forward. Another serious difficulty was the want of Christian purity. It was not the power of merit, and the weight of learning that was so much wanted as the purity of the holiness of Christian pro fessors. Although you might send men of spotless purity to the East, yet the Hindoos remembered the atrocity of the time of Clive, and the sad toils of the days of Hastings.

THIS Railway is projected to continue the Line of 1 communication from the Terminus of the proposed Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction Railway at Amber Gate to Nottingham ; which by a Junction at Nottingham with one of the proposed Eastern Lines will complete the nearest and most direct route from Nottingham and the Eastern Counties to Manches ter, Liverpool, and Holyhead, and by a junction with the Midlands Railway, in the Parish of Sawley, by the Ere wash Valley, the nearest route from Lancashire and Yorkshire to the south. The Town and Environs of Nottingham contain a po pulation of upwards of 100,000 persons, extensively em ployed in the Cotton, Silk, and Lace Manufacture, and this Line, by its connexion with the proposed Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction Railway, will reduce the distance upwards of seventy miles from that important district to Manchester and Liverpool, as com pared with existing routes; and the same advantage will also he derived by the Towns of Leicester and Lough borough. Independently of the great traffic which, as part of the main trunk line from the Agricultural Districts of Not tinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk, to the Manufacturing Districts of Lancashire and Cheshire, it will pass through a very populous, manufacturing, and rich Mineral District, the local traffic from which will alone return a fair remuneration for the capital invested.

Half a century was but like a fragment of time. But a few years back, comparatively speaking, the society sprung into existence, having been brought into being by the efforts of a few distinguished, pious, and prayerful mcn ; qnd the advocacy nding that it could corn and patronage of Wilberforce, in the first years of he existence she could scarcely command an income of £3O( Ten years rolled on in her history, and, though much wa done to stimulate public liberality, £lsto was the averag and limited amount of her income.

In ten more years the income averaged £70,000; and now upwards of£loo,ooo had been announced as the resources of the Church Missionary Society for the present. ;Much applause.) In all this we saw distinct evi _ dente of God's blessing; and when the principle of - de suciety was so committed to the regards of the Christian public. that they would give liberally of their substance to make known " the way of salvation," we might safely arrive at the conclusion that it must be deep in men's convictions. (Hear.) Aud when we considered the times in which all this had been done, it must be admitted that they were of a very remarkable character. The society started into being abcut the commencement of the pre sent century, when the whole world was convulsed ; it was in that memorable year when our colonies were threatened by the gigantic ambition of Napoleon—when, as first consul of France, he sought to bring destruction upon the British empire by annihilating our greatest co lony in the East. Look, too, to the character of those years in which the society had so largely increased her income. Take the first fifteen years; the period from 1801 to 1815. It was a time of great perplexity, of disorder, of incessantstruggle. Duringthose years England maintained the mosttremendous conflict, that perhaps anycountry ever maintained, against the world; but during the whole of that period she augmented her contributions to God's most sacred cause, proving that the people were deeply im bued with christianity, and that they were resolved that no national triumph, end no political perplexity should stand between them and the duty they owed to their God. (Cheers.) The period from 1815 to 1825 was marked by deep commercial perplexity : the country, at the end of that period, stood upon the edge, not of military disaster, but of mercantile destruction. It was even proclaimed that the Bank of England was within three days of bank ruptcy. Yet, notwithstanding all this, the christians of England never relaxed their efforts ; they continued pouring forth their funds into the coffers of the society. (Hear.) Let him now calculate the success which had attended the labours of the society by another process. Look at the place which the society now occupied in the public estimation. There was a time when it was frowned down upon by the great ones of the land. At the com mencement of her career she had no noble patronage, no episcopal assistance ; she leant upon the feeble of the land in one sense, but the power of the land in the other sense, she leant upon the poor of England—the poor in means but rich in faith. (Hear.) She threw herself upon those who could only bring pence into her coffers, but those who gave their prayers along with their efforts. (Cheers.) • And this was the right course. She declared that her strength was not in dependence upon an arm of flesh, hut in the promises of the Lord. She therefore carried on her work in the spirit of faith ; and look at the position she now commanded. (Hear.) The time of suspicion, of doubt, and of timidity had passed away ; those who once held back felt it now a distinction to have their names written upon her books. (Hear, hear.) The nobles of the land recommended her claims; the bishops, who had held aloof, until after cau tious and deliberate enquiry, gave to the society the high sanction of their venerable patronage. All this shewed that the society had gained public confidence. (Hear.) The success of the labours of the society might also be collected from the vast extent of those labours. There was a time when her expectations were very small. She took to herself a small little at first, " the Missionary Society to Africa;" sbe purchased a territory of some ten miles square, but she had lived to take a larger name and a greater field. She then called'herself the Mission ary Society to Africa and the East, but that was not the full extent of her operations, fur her progress had been as gigantic as that of our own empire. By a strange provi dence, indeed by an almost irresistible fatality, greatness had been heaped upon England. She had been compelled to take possession of countries that the ambition of our statesmen never intended to place beneath the British crown. Our soldiers had, by strange circumstances, been forced into lands into which they had not the most dis tant intention of entering ; our fleets had been called to act against shores, against which it was never intended to bring to bear the thunder of British artillery. So, we found God placing-Britain as a sort of Queen among the nations, and Britain almost compelled to take the empire of the world upon herself. The Church Missionary So ciety was equally extending herself. Whether we looked at India, China, the West Indies, or Canada, in the Pa cific, in New Zealand—in all those regions the society had established the banner of Christ ; and taken up a portion which 45 years since the founder of it would never have dreamt of taking. In all this therewas evidecce which made us believe that" the Lord is with us." Success had been stamped upon all these p rocee di ngs, b ut let the meeti n g look further and see the result of all these efforts. He could point to parts of the world in which the society was pursuing its operations, and tell them not of civilization introduced but of Christianity established. He could point to New Zealand, which ten years since was a land of barbarians, with its large number of schools and 3,000 scholars, 22 stations, and rapidly increasing cumregations. He could point to Hindostan. Respecting tuts country he could refer to the testimony of the metropolitan in India. Although Christianity there had not availed so as to upset the superstitions of the Hindoos, yet it had in troduced a doubt respecting the institutions of Hindooisw, which, after all was a preliminary step to final and majestic success. Men, there, were asking themselves this question, " What is truth?" In all probability they would have to pass through a season of infidelity before they could attain to the consummation of Chris tianity. It seemed, indeed, to be the plan of God's dealing to make men first suspect their errors, and then to embrace truth. In all probability this would be the state of Hindostan, and in all probability it would also be the same with the Church in Ireland. First of all the Irish would begin to suspect the errors and superstitions of Romanism ; then there would be a lapse into infidelity, but in the midst of all there would be the materials of truth—in the Church in Ireland, and in the Missionary Society in Hindostan. (Hear.) He would now advert to the second point noticed in the report, viz., the difficul ties which embarrassed the Society, and stood in the way of perfect success. He believed that in many instances they lay deeper than was commonly suspected. (Hear.) He apprehended no embarrassment from a deficiency of funds, or from a falling off of interest in the public mind, hat difficulties of a more serious kind, difficulties which xerted ti , anti tau ing of their own c sermons of missio sermons of our I . . statements. For this reason the chur abroad, must be sanctified at home ; tl enterprise and v gestions of the en there was ti Ho could the hcalhe what we told th plicity of Christianity, opposed? those tim, men did t: unity of ti t so in mind, but also in visible uni , in tl there should be t !ss thin eying its own little fi and all representing Id, cad the true represer however, lay not in stating There seemed to be but one land to t rother churchwa nd principle.

Since that 'period it bad spread north, :east, south, and west, into the four quarters of the globe—all begun by a little bard of faithful tren in the spirit of prayer. He reminded the meeting of the difficulties which the so ciety and its missionaries had to endure in those days, and celled attention to the testimony of many colonial bishops of its usefulness. The great question, however, was, what were the princip'es of the society? They had, from its foundation, been church 'principles, but not " high church" principles ; those were still the principles by which it was moved, and by which its managers meant to abide. (Hear.) On this branch of the subject he said he would put in facts and circumstances which must put the statement above all suspicion, the first of which was the testimony of the Bishop of New Zealand, (who went out there not very friendly towards the society,) and the other the testimony of the Bishop of Montreal upon the mission at Red River, one of the settlements of the Hud son's Bay Company. Both of these bishops testified to the fact that the labours of the missions in those distant countries were conducted upon the principles of the church. Out, then, he said, with the silly objection that the Church Missionary Society was not a Church of Eng land Society. Next in importance to the principles of the society was the character of the men sent out by it. On this point cip he o s wb c en n t i e t nd investigated d e tha t the tShoec characteri etyadhered to an dt the t fit e s r s p r principlesn of its missionaries. During the 21 years he had been in Cheltenham he had seen numerous persons of different situations in life, who had lived in India and resided in the stations of the Society ; and all these persons, without a single exception, and without hesitation, had borne tes timony to him that the missionaries of the Society there were the most sober-minded, the most devoted, the most self-denying, the most faithful and zealous men they had ever met with. (Cheers.) Several interesting and strik ing facts were related in illustration of these points. With retard to the want of missionaries, he felt there was no thing to look to, but prayer to God. Colleges might be founded, but no one could make a missionary but He who made the world ; and he trusted that every man and woman in that meeting would do all that in them lay to find men of faith willing to go to the heathen. • Our mis sions were so scattered among people of different charac ters that there was room for perSe.ns of all talents and classes. Educated men were wanted to go to India and China ; but men of sterling sense and plain education for New Zealand, Africa, and the North-west coast of Ame rica.

The silver band of the Nile is changed into a deep blue heaven, spangled with soft and trembling stars, while those above look calm and grand, like benign spirits, very different to the cold and shivering brilliancy of our clear frosty nights. They need not freeze here, for our nights in July can hardly be warmer than those in the month of January in Upper Egypt and Nubia. The banks continue animated to a late hour. The fires burn brightly on the village hearths, which occupy the place in front of the door: the bleating flocks of sheep and goats are driven homeward amid a mingled din of human voices, the barking of dogs, the incessant creaking of the Sakias. The men who work the Shaduf sing to a regular measure, while throwing their buckets into the Nile and emptying them into the chan nels, which convey the waters in further districts : the song of the Arab as lie returns homewards from the fields, the loud bailings and the conversation of the men from their boats, re-echo on all sides. The Arabs talk incessantly; they speak to each other from bra': to boat. from the shore to vessels on the rivet , and, I verily believe, from village to village ; at all events, as far as the voice can reach, and that, toe, always in a tone which seems like noisy threat ening. From a solitary bark you may hear the dull notes of the Darabukab, which reminds me of the Spanish gui tar, although these instruments have not the slightest re semblance. Al. length al/ the sounds die away. The night grows chilly, and we are glad to return to the cabin and take our tea. When the wind blows keenly from the north-west—a quarter to which it often adheres, with scarcely one day's exception, for whole months together in Egypt, and which is as favourable to our ascent of the Nile as it retards our downward voyage—then, indeed, our evening enjoyments are sadly blighted, and we have to submit to the uncomfortable position of being half frozen, though 'muffled up in all our wrappers.—Lib of Travel, ept not merely in in absence of 3terous than iocci [lope, occu- dlO 68, eac aving its own peculiarities, of Cuiistianity !
