No. 70, King William-street, Mansion-house, London The object of the promoter. of this company is to form a direct line of railway from Bristol and Bath to Dover; and thus in effect unite. connect, or reciprocate with all the existing and projected lines of railway in the South and South West and West of England, as well also as form a complete communication with Ireland and all the Western and Welsh railways, and most of these in the Northern and great manufacturing districts, by which p issengers and goods to and from Folkestone and Dover, France, and Belgium may be conveyed without the necessity of passing through the Metropolis. The main line to be laididown by the company will be considerably less than one hundred miles, throughout which the strongest encouragement and support have been manifested towards phis railway by the landed pro prietors, many of whom have determined to invest capital in the undertaking, and the engineer's report precludes the apprehension of .ekaineeriny difficulties. The great public utility and corn mere al advantages of railway com munication between the important places and ports which it is now contemplated to unite, will beat once appreciated by reference to a map of the country, and they will be forcibly illustrated by the objects to be attained by this company. This line is intended to begin at Bristol by means of the Great Western railway. and passing through Bath to Bath Hamptonit will skirt the valley of the Avon, to Bradford. and thence to Trowbridge. It will then take as strait a direction as can be obtained to Devizes, Ad Canuingi, Pewsy, Burbage, Shalborne, West Woodhay, High Clere, and Overton, on to Basinsgtoke, aihere it will unite with the South Western railway, and thus from the Western counties the distance will be several miles shorter to the Metropolis the . by any other existing line. It will then, by -means of the South Western railway, proceed on to near Farnborough (a distance of fourteen miles) whence. leaving Farnham to the South, it will pass onward to Ashe, Guildford, Gomshall, and Dorking to Reigate, where it will unite with the South Eastern and Dover-railway—(The latter, eighteen miles from Guildford to Reigate will in all probability be constructed by another company). In its course it will thread its way through the lines of many of the railways already constructed or projected — the junction of which will not only be estimated as a great public convenience, but prove highly advantageous to the several companies interested, producing an immense traffic, that must stream from Ireland—from our great manufacturing districts in the North—the cloth and corn markets of the West of England—the mineral and coal fields of Wales, and the hop districts in Kent—all of which point to the formation of this railway as a great desideratum, as well also as form a direct communication with France, Belgium, and the Con inert generally. The distance to be saved by this railway will exceed thirty miles from Bath (and all the towns North West) to Dover; while to many of the towns South West of Bristol sixty , miles or more will be saved by this railway in union with some of the other lines; and the often dis agreeable and costly necessity (at present existing) of passing through London, to or from Dover, will be entirely obviated, and manufacturers and merchants in most parts of the country, West and North, or South, will be thus enabled to forward and rece:ve goods direct from and to`Dover and Folkestone, avoiding the present inconvenient mode and expense of transference from railway to railway across London. Any at'empt to distinguish the number of passengers proceeding to or from London, or the Provinces and the Continent by the South Eastern and Dover Railway, would be abortive; but the published staiements of that Company show that the traffic exceeds 1:8000 weekly, and the accounts of arrivals at, and departures from Calais, Boulogne, and Ostend. exhibit an astonishing number of persons as passengers to and from England weekly, by Dover and Folkstone, throughout the whole of the year. Yielding to the metropolis one half of the number as a large proportion, the remaining half will belong to the provinces and Ireland, who will probably prefer to be conveyed from or to their localities without the annoyance of being compelled to pass through London, especially as the saving of distance lone will considerably diminish expenses. The construction of this line of railway can hardly fail to meet the approval of the government ; as, besides its great commercial utility, the convenience it will afford for the speedy transport of troops from Ireland. or the North, Sou , h, or West of England to Dover, in a direA manner. avoiding the present necessity of marching them across London or other towns, after they are once placed in rail way carriages, must be greatly appreciated; and where it is expedient that ,expedition and secrecy should be observed in the removal of troops, the means offered by this company will greatly assist the authorities in faci litating their objects. The railways a!r atly constructed or projected with which this line of railway will effect a union or cornmunic t tion. and reciproc.we advantages exceed fifty in number (as will be seen by examitig any railway map), and all of them must be in direct communication with, a d will feed, or b- fed by THE SOUTH ERN COUNTIES UNION, AND, BRISTOL. BATH, AND DOVER DIRECT RAILWAY ; the most important junctions being those le +ding to this line from the North and the Manufacturing Districts by Oxf ird to Dover and Brighton, those from Ireland, North \Vales by Cheltenham or Oxford and this railway to Dover or Brighton, and th , se from the south and West of England uy Salisbury to Dryer ; thus effect ing a con'inuous and direct intercourse with nearly every part of England,Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and the Conti nent Toe census returns show that this railway will pass through a country containing a population of upwards of one million, and this number, though large, may be fairly multiplied several time if all the other parts or the king dom which will benefit by it, he considered. Wi la these facts before them, the promoters have not deemed it necessary to put forth estimates of traffic ; the sow dness of the project being guaranteed by the truths already given in this brief exposition. and the great objects intended to be compassed by this company.

Our readers are aware that the Earl of Wincbelsea re cently resigned his magisterial dignities and deputy lies tenancies, because his Lordship did not wish to retain any office in connection with a government which could zo far damage the interests of Protestantism as to dimiss thst venerated Mr. Watson from the magisiracy of Ireland. who felt it his duty to be present nt a meeting tor the re organisation of Orarmeism, though not an Orange:ma* himself. On the occasion of his Lordship's retirim froth the offices in question, the Toxteth-park Protestant Oper ative Association addressed to h;s Lordship the foll ow i ng animating address, (the composition, we believe. of an operative,) which was excluisitely printed on satin, is gold letters :- 1 " The Toxteth-park ProtPstrint Operalire Assoeiatiok to the Right Honourable the Earl of Winehelsea mei Nottingham " Toxteql-hall, Mil'.-street, Liverpool; 26th Sept : . 1845 "MY LORD,—We, the Toxt , th-park Protestant Oper ative Association, beg sincerely and most respectfully to present to your Lordship present congratulatory Ad dress, for the urcompromising and zealous manifestatiuo of your Lordship's determined and urishaktn attachment to those great and hikh principl,s of Protestantism, which alone have elevated this country to that glorious emi nence of prosperity of which no other nation in the world can boast, and which, through God's blessing, we, io conjunction with a glorious array of insulted Protestant operai - i7es, of this our native land, will rise to one man to maintain, and with unco , lqiierable might we wilt will and for ever defend the everlssticg Gospel, which, to quota your Lordship's words, "is above all earthly value.' With proud exultation do we point to the time in the history of our country, when, midst the darkness and gloom of superstition arid ignominious cruelty—when the desponding heart hail no lovely spot to csze upon—glo rious and majestic above the horizon of Popish despotism, at that portentious moment rose the STAR OF OrtANost and LILY OF NASSAU ; then the spirit of religious liberty (which your Lordship has so nobly stood forward to maintain) burst asunder the iron chains of Popery which had been placed around her, and wood bold'y forward in all her unconquered might and unclouded Christian love- liness. " When Rome shall moulder with those who gave hey birth, and the proud cities of the earth be si ent, a grate ful band of F otestants shall revere the name of " Win chelsea and Nottingham," for his bygone bravery in defending the glorious Protestant and triumphant religion of our native land. " We are, as the Protestants of Ireland, my Lord, fully determined not to be tr.unpled ttpo, : we arP the descen dants of the fathers of the Reformation, men who passed the fiery ordeals of persectrion for our tu , kes ; and we, by their examples, are preosred to buckle on our armour should the hour of peril arrive. We d not think, my Lord, because there appears a subdued stillness in the Protestant mind, that that indicates defeat. No; it is, as it were, the pause of the tempest summoning its fury and gathering the elements of its fierce anger, that with more desolating wreck it may burst forth with all its re sistless energy. your Lordship's late noble conduct may be desig nated by some narrow-minded partisans a High Church affair : so our Church IP and ever shall be high, exte , •ding her sublime orthodox and evangelical truths to the highest - - heavens. " Why should the churches of the ever blessed Refor mation contend with each other, when our common danger is thundering at their glees and st , tacking their walls? Ours is one common dmger, my Lord—a reciprocity of feeling and a community of interests—and however the sectarian may scorn, and the jea!nus and the ignorant impede, Presbyterian shall unite with Episcopalian in the bonds of Protestant onion ; and may your Lnrdship's name be enshrined in the grateful affe•ctions of the true and faithful Protestants of England, as an honourable and unblemished testimony of your Lordship's public services and private worth, after many long years of active exertion in the Protestant cause, and undeviaiing recti tude of character. " My Lord, we are only the sons of labour and toil ; we have no pride of ancestry; cur names are not recorded in the archives of the noble and royal; we boast not of pa timonial ball and wide domain ; the statues of our fathers do not adorn our homes. But, my Lord, we can boast of I what is still more glorious and imperishable, and that which shall survive when human glory shall be obliterated —the integrity of principle, and the stanch adherence to truth and honour, to religion and patriotism, which alone can ennoble and elevate the human character. " My Lord, as the ivy is entwined in all its greenness around the ancient oak, and serves to add freshness to the memorials of antiquity, so around the minis of the Protestants of England may the name of " Winehelsea and Nottingham" ever cling; and should the trumpet sound the charge ar d the banner be unfurled, then let " No Surrender" be our err : " We wait the foe,proud England's sun thou halt not, shalt not set; The clouds that dim thy fiery brow shall vanish from thee yet; In happier days our fathers' swords once more shall ye be known ; And flash, with dazz ing blaze, around the Altar and the 1 hrone.' " I retna;n, my Lord, " Your Lordship's nto.o obrdi , tit and humble servant, " In behalf of the Toveth.ro , rk Protestant Operative Association, "CHARLES IiUINtTON, Secretary." His Lordship returned the foll.wlng gratifying reply t• the address : " Edstwell park, Oet. 10th, 1845. " Sin,-1 have the honour to aoknowledge the receipt of your letter, accompanied by the R re,s which has been voted to me by the members of the Toxteth-park Protes tant Operative Assoeia!ion. " I request that you will have the kindness to take the earliest opportunity of expressing to that much-re•pectect body of my fellow-countrymen how deeply I appreciate this mark of their approhwion and esteem. W,th truth and sincerity you may assure them that the great Protes,- tant principles for which we are coAending w , ll, to the last hour of my life, receive my best and uncon3promising support.

It has since taken place to the extent of L'l per ton, in addition to the £ll which had been demandeil on the Ist ult. The price is, therefore. £lO for the same tiescrintions of irfin as were sold at £8 three months since. We learn that orders are ahundant, end that manuf:ic , urers of iron are busy, b t 4 we have no reason for believing that the orders on hana are at the improve I prices. Makers are rather in a con dition to demand an advance than to rely upon getting it. They refuse orders at the qu.itations of last quiniter, be cause they have plenty to do at those prices, but the recent advance will check the demand, unless spectilatt.rs are diverted from railways to railway bars anti produce a mo mentary effect upon the iron market. People beet ac quainted with the trade are but little at east with the pre sent aspect of the mat k , t.
