RAILWAY AFFAIRS. The Kendal and Windermere line is expected to be opened on the Ist April next. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN.-011 Wednesday filo Bishopstoke and Salisbury Branch was opened in due form. The London and North-Western, Lancaster and Car lisle, and the Caledonian are conjointly to be the lessees of the Scottish Central. The subscription relief fund for Ireland and Scotland has reached nearly £100,000; and the committee have al ready freighted with_meal, and despatched to Ireland, se veral Queen's ships, placed at their disposal by ment. They have also undertaken the supply of govern- one of the meal depots at Cork, opened in the first instance by government. Their importations are either f. b. c.tLuer to ne i away under judi c i ous an d experienced direction, or t g o ven be sold at a low rate to the relief committees. SKIBBEREEN.—The following is a passage of a letter ad dressed to Mr. Blake, of Cork, by Dr. Crowley, of Skib bereen, dated January 22nd :—" Deaths here are daily in creasing; Dr. Donovan and I have just returned from the village of South Been. where we }lntl fn h,,,.., es y selves that that was eleven days dead; and where do you think? in a kitchen garden.

SOUND POTATOES !—A correspondent informs us (Lon donderry Standard,) that, in the parish of Lower Ba doney, a great number of the farmers, whose names he s I mentions, have large pits of potatoes, the quality of which One line of the rails of the extension of the Birkenhead and Chester Railway to the docks is to be ready by the 31st March. On Friday, a handsome testimonial, consisting of silver candelabra, was presented to Mr. David Waddingto n , deputy-chairm an of the Eastern Counties Railway, by the officers of that line. The Railway ,Record say s th at t h e Manchester and Leeds Comp an y are in treaty for the Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport line, on terms the most advantageous to the shareholders. The Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction Railway, (deviation of main line,) acid Chester and Birken head.Railway Bills were read a second time in the House of Commons on Friday. A young woman named Dolman was, last week, killed at the Whittlesford station of the Cambridge Railway. She was struck by an engine in crossing the line. Her bonnet was first found, and the finder was horrified by her head dropping out of it. It was decided in the ~..urt of Queen's Bench on Wed nesday, in a special case connected with the South-East ern line, that a Railway Company has a right to refuse its certificate of approval to an engine which a stranger pro poses to run on its line. After some demur, the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate resolved to adopt the directors' proposal to lease the line to the South-Eastern at 4i per cent., and equal profits until the formation of the line, when the terms were to be commuted to a rental of 5i per cent, The extensive factories in connexion with the locomo tive and carriage -works of the Eastern Counties, adjacent to the station at Stratford, and the three hundred houses and church, for the accommodation of the company's workmen, have received, the appropriate title of Hudson's New Town. According to the Railway Record, that portion of the directors of the Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle Junction, who wish to emancipate the line from the in fluence of the Manchester and Leeds Company, will have a large majority of the votes at the meeting to be held in Manchester to-day (Tuesday). The turnpike-roads of England and Wales amount to only 23,000 miles, and in 1852 we have reason to antici pate that from 8,000 to 10,000 miles of railways will be open for traffic. That these railways may satisfactorily perform the work that formerly was done on common roads it is absolutely necessary that they should be uniform and continuous. is, in every respect, equal to that of former years. We have seen (says the Leinster Express) a sample of pota toes belonging to a gentleman not twenty miles from preserva- its is the case with uiie coun 18., and that strong hopes may be entertained that we llnare have not seen the " last of the potatoes." STORm ON THE IRISH COAST. —On Sunday week, Limerick and the neighbourhood were visited by a violent storm. Fortunately little damage was done upon land ; but the shipping in the river suffered severely by the visi tation. The brig Glencoe, of Liverpool, Captain Bower, which discharged wheat and flour at that port, and was outward bound in ballast for Alexandria, dragged from her anchors at Scattery-roads, and was forced ashore at Kilrush vide, with loss of mainmast, foretopmast, rigging, and rudder unshipped. An Italian brig and barque, also at Scattery, were dashed ashore at Isleorne, between Moneypoint and Kilrush, and, it is feared, will become a total loss. The Friendship, at Bideford, for Liverpool, ballast, is ashore, with loss of keel. The members of the Relief Committee at Thurles have sent a memorial to the Lord Lieutenant, in which they pray him immediately to open depots of corn, and sell it at such prices as would leave the merchant a fair and rea sonable profit, instead of that far too large one of 60 to 70 per cent., which he now heartlessly takes. They state that there are 7,000 persons in that town in various degrees of destitution. By far the greater part of the landed pro prietors are non-resident, and consequently give little aid in money, and still less in employment or moral influence. While they continually hear of Indian corn brought to the different ports at £lO to £ll a ton, they cannot buy one ton of it for less than £lB, besides the expense of carriage; and the poorhouse now contains 200 more persons than its roper complement. TTHE MINISTERIAL MEASURES.—The plans for the immediate and permanent relief of Ireland, propounded by ministers, have raised the drooping spirits of the citi zens of Dublin, and already the stock and share markets have experienced the good effects. There is only one point upon which there appears to be any complaint— that of the grant of £50,000 for the purchase of seed for the poorer landholders. The popular comparison of the " drop of water in a bucket" is applied to it ; and many hold that the grant of this, or three times a larger sum, would be fraught with evil consequences, as every poor tenant would he led to expect a share of it. - The editor of the Packet calculates that, taking the average of the baro nies at 90,000 acres, the proposed grant woud not, at the present prices of oats, supply more than seed for a single acre in each barony in Ireland. At the Commercial Build ings, the opinion prevails, that it would be better to abandon the proposition altogether, if the amount be not advanced to at least £250,000. However, taking the statement of Lord J. Russell in omnibus, it has given great satisfaction. VERY PROPER.--At the meeting on Friday, of the Midland Railway Company, Mr. Hudson, the chairman, said, in reply t o a ques ti on f rom M r. J. Brancker, that he had offered to head a list for the compensation of the family of Mr. Buteler, killed last year at mosborough, with £5OO, but the company had taken upon itself the payment of £5OOO for that purpose. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—The platfo r l yi for the Britannia and Conway Bridges. on which the tubes are to be constructed, are now in course of erection, and a considerable quantity of the iron is already manufactured. The platform at the Straits will be 1000 feet in length, with wharfs and sheds to protect the workmen. In a few weeks the construction of the tubes will be commenced. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.-We mentioned, last week, that the Queen's Speech was transmitted to Sheffield, by electric telegraph on the day of its delivery. At the Chesterfield station, a man was placed to hold a couple of candles, with directions to look stedfastly at the index and see that the light fell full upon it. He did so for a full hour, but at length fell, as stiff as a post, having been mesmerised by the protracted fixity-of his attention. From official returns it appears that the amount of traffic for the last week, on upwards of 2730 miles of rail way, was £134,230, thus accounted for :—X67,645 for the conveyance of passengers only, £38,738 for the carrigfe of goods, and a remainder of £27,847 for passengers and goods together, not respectively apportioned ; bei ng an increase of £19 , 861 over the corresponding week of last year, when the mileage was about 1920. AMERICAN RAILROAD IRON.-1 he first bar of railroatl iron was made in 1844, and these are now sixteen or e'ghteen foundries at which it is made, and these make over one hundred and twenty thousand tons per annum. This amount is sufficient to lay four miles of railroad per day, or twelve hundred miles per year. The progress of this manufacture, in the short space of two years, in this country, is very remarkabl and is a strong manifestation of American enterprise and skill.—New York Tribune; It is stated that the Eastern Counties Railway have made handsome money compensation to some of the per-- sons who were hurt by the accident at Stratford in Sep tember last. Mrs. Smith, a poor woman of Chigwell, whose legs were broken, and who has just been pronounced convalescent, has been paid 600 guineas. Mr. Cotton, of the et entirelyßank of recovered, England, who hs was withdrawnsever e b; h h e u r a t c t a i n o d has n he i t i tz c y ommenced against the company, on their paying a large sum to the Bethnal-green schools.- REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—Another " positively last ap pearance this season " of the star • of Conciliation -hall failed in drawing a full house on Monday. Mr. O'Con _,, nett was present, and, on the authority of a Mr. William Thomas Kelly, a member of the association, redd out the names of several l a ndl or d s i n th e coun ty of Mayo, who, according to Mr. Kelly, had obtained decrees against their tenants at the late quarter sessions for the rent only due in November last. These were the gentlemen who were calling the government to come forward, although they themselves would render no assistance, even if death were to be the consequence of their hardheartedness. It was arranged that the committee should meet on the fol lowing day, to prepare a petition.to parliament upon the subject from Mr. Kelly, in order to have commissioners appointed to point out the good from the bad landlords through the country, so as to enable the legislature to treat such a case as it deserved. It was announced that Mr. O'Flaherty, of Knockbane, is to be the " Old Ire land " candidate for Galway, in succession to Sir Valen tine Blake, whose resignation is no longer a matter of doubt. At the Corn as well as the Stock Exchange there was a serious fall in the funds, the rent having closed at £l5 16s. Ild. The ship is sinking. MR. B. J. MOZLEY.—Mr. Mozley is one of that small band of men to whom this country is indebted for her railway system. As he himself expressed it at the last London and North Western meeting, he is one of the pioneers of the railway system. He was one of aa ny, a thed h pro_ e jectors of the Li ver p oo l an d Manch es ter n th ß e ai Gr lw was and is one of the largest holder s Junc tion. He was one of the pioneers of these two great leading Companies, and he has remained true to them to the last. His last movement has made his nanle famous in the railway world,' and in securing a large profit on their shares the Birmingham and Oxford proprietors have to thank him alone.—Railway Times. RAILWAY TA XATION.—It was shown, by evidence be fore Morrison' s own committee, that the tax on English railways (parish rates and passenger duty) exceeds the taxation of French railways by about five per cent. per annum on the gross receipts • add one per cent. for income tax, part of which may fairly be included, and you have an excess of six per cent. Now, take the same railway which we have already adduced as an example of great original cost and a low average fare, six per cent. on the gross receipts of the Brighton and South Coast is nearly £30,000 per annum. £30,000 per annum, with the accu mulations of interest at four per cent., will amount to £5,000,000 in 501- years (as calculated by an insurance officer of high standing), being more than the cost of the railway 55 }Tars would make it .£6,000,000. F our per r ennt. is a high rate for Government and a low rate for the railways. In England, therefore, the companies will, in e ect, have presented their rail roa d s to the Government ff i n 50 or 60 years. This fact is precisely the reverse of Mr. Aforrison's statement, and we call his attention to it: —Railway Chronicle. MORE STARVATION An extraordinary and fatal accident occurred at the Southall Station on the Great Western Railway on Mon day. It appears that at about a quarter-past four o'clock, the twelve o'clock express train from Exeter was running at its usual speed by the above station, and at the same moment the four o'clock stopping down -train was slacking its speed previously to its stopping at that place. The express train had passed the station some fifty yards, and the four o'clock down train was about 200 or 250 yards also on the London side, when the tire of the driv ing wheel next to the down rail broke into several pieces, which were projected in different directions, with a ter rible velocity. One portion, of four feet in length, was thrown to a considerable height, and in its descent came longitudinally on the front of the second-class carriage. next the luggage van of the down train, forcing away a small portion of th e f ront end, as well as a long itudinal slip of the top, and making a clear breach into the car riage itself. So great was the force with which it fell, that the three first com partments of the carriages were broken, the one into the other. We are informed that the second and third compartments were filled with pas sengers. Of those in the second compartment, two la bouring men, liens Hall and Henry Bishop. who were sitting opposite each other, were killed. The portion of the tire fell on their heads, and their deaths were instan taneous. A woman who was in the same compartment was also struck on the head, and is stated to be in a dan gerous condition. We believe that no other person in the'down-train sustained any injury. A severe injury, and from a similar cause, happened to Mrs. Mountjoy Martin, who was a passenger by the express train, (Hear, hea measure as ciently be trez every thin will be done to give speedy effect to the ope- of which the very existence was denied in both houses of ration of this measure ; at the same time, care will be Parliament, until it was dragged forth to light in the taken, and the Lord-Lieutenant will see to it, that its House ,of Commons.

Tuesday's Gazette contains an order in council, direct ing that after the next avoidance of the see of Salisbury, the bishop succeeding thereto, and his successors, shall pay to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, the annual sum of £lB5O. By a recent valuation, it appears that the reve nue of the see exceeds by this sum the amount fixed by the commissioners "as suitable to the circumstances thereof." The income so allotted was £5OOO a year. It is the intention of government, with the concurrence of the episcopal bench, to create four new sees—Manches ter, Nottingham, St. Albans, and Cornwall. The bishops of these new dioceses are not to have seats in the House of Lords by virtue of these appointments ; but the pre lates are in future to sit in Parliament according to seni ority of promotion, the present number not being increased. It is a pity that Lord John Russell should mar the grace of this concession to the increasing requirements of the church, by any such paltry condition. THE REV. JOHN BUHNET.—This reverend gentleman having been promoted to the vicarage of Bradford, from St. George's, Macclesfield, some of his former Divinity pupils have presented him with his Doctor's degree, and some extremely elegant and useful articles of plate, in testimony of their appreciation of his character and worth. A number of his friends have also presented him with a purse containing three hundred sovereigns, as a grateful testimonial to his unwearied labours as a Christian pastor, and his great exertions in the cause of church and school extension. ST. ►SAVIOTJ s CHURCH, LEEDS.—In consequence of some perversions to Rome in this church, the vicar of that church, and the Rev. R. Ward, and the curate (Rev. Mr. Case), have both resigned, after communications from the .bop of Ripon. A ber of - num members of ~ne congre gation in consequence addressed the Bishop, expressing their love and respect for the vicar, and assuring his lord ship that Mr. Ward never by his teaching endeavoured to induce them to join the Roman Communion, or to shake their confidence in the Church of England. The Bishop makes a kindly reply, stating that Mr. Ward "is fully conscious that he has weakly yielded to the sinister influ ence of others, and has, in some instances, consented to act in direct contravention of the spirit of my admonitions and injunctions, insomuch that I am persuaded it is as, essential for Mr. Ward's own peace of mind, as it is for the welfare of the church in this diocese, of Ourselves, and of your children, that Mr. Ward should cease to offi ciate at St. Saviour's." He adds, " You are yourselves, as yet, scarcely conscious of the dangers you have escaped, and it is for me, as your spiritual father, to step forward in your behalf, lest your affection for the individual should blind you to the perilous tendency of that system which it has been attempted to establish at St. Saviour's, foreign, as it is, to the spirit of our church, and calculated gradu ally (it would seem imperceptibly), to familiarize you with many of the reprobated sentiments and practices of +' Church of Rome." which reached New Orleans 1111 4-b f Tr. cotton and " fireadstiiffs," and gave more firmness for freights, which had previously receded.
