of Ireland, comprising all the Manufacturing Districts, and having
no Canal or Water-Carriage to compete with it.
It is intended subsequently to extend the Line to Armagh, there
to meet the Railway from Belfast. The Line to Navan forms the
Main Trunk for any of the contemplated Railways to the Western
Districts of Ireland.
The Public is aware that it is the object of another Company to
carry a line of Railway, coastwise, between Dublin and Drogheda,
to the total exclusion of the Inland Country. The line of Railway
laid down by the opposing Company, adjoins some small Towns and
Villages along the Coast, inhabited chiefly by Fishermen, and hav-
ing no existing Trade or Traffic. Balbriggan, the largest and only
important Town on the line, contains a population of 3,016 inhabi-
tants, and has but 325 families engaged in trade, manufacture, and
handicraft. The intercourse by passengers is so trifling, that but
six public vehicles are employed throughout the entire line, and
should there be hereafter any increase of traffic, this Railwa can
always be successfully opposed by Water Carriage along the Eastern
shore.

The Coast line of Railway is nearly four miles longer than the
Inland line

Coast line to Drogheda, 32 miles 220 yards.
Inland line to Drogheda, 28 miles 530 yards.
Estimated Expense of the Coast line, as stated
by the Engineer, is ............ £600,000 0 0
Estimated Expense of the Inland line to Drog-
heda
455,881 7 3
There is here, therefore, an admitted excess in the outlay of
144,000/. ; also, in the annual expense of maintaining the two
lines, the excess of the expense on the Coast line over the Inland
line will be 10,0001. a year ; this last will be evident when the si-
tuation of tlic two lines is considered A;FRf.,,lt;ec of the
Coast line, if they tau be surmounted by the skill of the Engineer,
will be at an expense unexampled in the annals of Railway Engi-
neering. By reference to the Plan, it will be seen that great sea
works are to be constructed at Clontarf for a mile and a half—an
arm of the sea at Malahide for two miles, at ten foot water to be
crossed on an embankment forty feet high—thirty- feet of filling at
Rogerstown strand for a distance of two miles—nearly four miles of
a cutting at Melverton sixty-five feet deep—a sea embankment on the
shore towards Skerries, seventy feet from the surface of the beach,
and exposed to the whole force of the ocean—a tupnel under Thorn-
hill, and a second Tunnel half a mile long, to be constructed under
Melverton demesne. Such works cannot be constructed at a less
rate than 30,0001. a mile, if, indeed, it be possible to form a correct
estimate of the expense in such an undertaking. The costs of main-
tenance must be equally uncertain in amount, as the action of the
water on the shore may sweep away breakwaters and embankments.
although constructed for the purposes of security, with the utmost
skill, and with no regard to expense.
An opinion may be formed of the estimation in which the two
lines are held by the inhabitants and land-owners on the respective
lines, by the fact, that whilst on the Inland line an unanimous
opinion prevails in its favour, on the Coast line several influential
land-owners are opposed to that line, and have petitioned Parlia.
ment against it, and prayed to be heard by Counsel.
There has not been a single petition presented against the Inland I
line.

The necessary surveys of the Inland line, from Dublin to Drog-

entire line, nor is there a single mansion-house or demesne to
be interfered with ; a zealous and anxious co-operation of all the
land-owners and occupiers on the entire line has been secured.

The line commences on a level at the east side of Prussia-street,
in the City of Dublin, crossing Prussia-street and the Circular-road
in a direct line ; passes over the Royal Canal at the tail of the 12th
lock, where a station and warehouses can be constructed, and a di.
rect communication by canal formed with the Custom House, Docks,
and Harbour of Dublin, at the Quays of the river Liffey. The line
terminates close to Drogheda, at an elevation of one hundred feet
over the river Boyne.
The Terminus at Prussia-street is contiguous to Smithfield Mar-
ket, where all cattle are sold for the supply of the Liverpool and
other English markets, but can be further extended to the waste
ground at Dominick-street, or to the end of Constitution-hill, where
it would form a junction with the new street now proposed to the
Four Courts, and into the Southern direction of the Metropolis.
The Drogheda Terminus affords great facilities for an extension
to Armagh, across the plains of Ardee, there to join the Belfast and
Armagh Railway.
The Branch to Navan leaves the main trunk at Primatestown,
sixteen and a half miles from Dublin, a little westward of the mail-
coach road, and terminates at the Boyne River at Navan, near the
Upper Lock, at the point of junction of the Canal navigation with
the River.
The line to Drogheda is the most direct line that can be formed
to the North, and necessarily embraces all the trade and traffic be-
tween Dublin and the sea-port of Drogheda, Armagh, Belfast, and
all the North of Ireland, a population exceeding 850,000 people.
The line to Navan embraces the entire trade of Navan, Kells,
Cavan, Clones, and Enniskillen, large and populous towns, and in
the centre of a peaceable and productive country, with a population
of 189,000 people.
The inland line for twenty-eight miles out of Dublin, would be
a common trunk for any Railway to the Western and North-
Westera parts of Ireland, which, in point of level and material,
offers every facility to the formation of a Railway joining Lough-
Erne, the second largest lake in Ireland, which contains an area of
36,923 acres, possessing a water power equivalent to the force of
35,000 horses, and the river which flows from it to the sea has a
fall of one hundred and forty-nine feet, forming one of the largest
and most valuable water powers existing in Ireland.

A very careful investigation ofINCOME the. revenue to arise from the
Railway has been made, and the following is the result :
There are twenty-six public vehicles and six caravans, carrying
fifteen passengers each, passing to and from Dublin, Drogheda,
Navan, and Slane, by the inland line daily, and six public vehicles,
six caravans, and two mail cars, on the coast line daily, making the
number forty-six available for calculation.

£ s. d,

Passengers :—These conveyances are generally
filled, but taking only twelve to each as the daily
average, we have 552 passengers daily, or 201,480
yearly. The charge now is 7s. for an inside seat,
and 4s. outside : let the Railway fares be only 4s. for
the first-class carriage, 3s. for the second, and 2s. for
the third, thus giving as. as the average on 552, or a
sum of 821. 16s. per day, but, according to the.prin-
ciple that the existing number of passengers may be
doubled, we have 1651. 12s. per day, or per annum 60,440 0 0
There are several public cars plying daily between
the termini of the Railway and towns on the line be-
tween Dublin, Drogheda, and Navan, carrying pas-
sengers, and receiving 101. a day, which doubled, as
above, 201. a day, or per annum 7,300 0 0
Posting and carriage of private carriages
Transmissions of eight mails dailyup and down, say
512 miles at sd. per mile, or 101. 13s. 4d. per diem. 3,893 6 8
Parcels on all conveyances, northward and westward 5,400 0 0
Carriage of 350 tons of goods weekly, at l Os. per
ton, being less than half of the present rate charged 9,100 0 0
Agricultural Produce.—Corn, Flour, Butter, for
the several markets and shipment abroad, and also
Fruit, Vegetables, and Milk for the supply of the Me-
tropolis. This will form a most productive source,of
income to the Company, say at least
... 7,000 0 0

the supply of the Dublin Markets and shipment for
England. The County of Meath is the greatest graz-
ing county in Ireland, and not only supplies the Dub-
lin Markets, but also, with the adjoining counties to the
West, contiguous to the line of Railway, supplies the

We have here a fixed sum of 113,1371. 6s Bd. per annum, mainly
upon an existing trade, but the increased facility afforded by this
Railway for all Agricultural and Commercial purposes to the indus-
trious and peaceable population of the North and North-western
districts of Ireland, daily increasing in wealth and commercial pros-
perity, gives just. hopes that this Railway, which is looked upon
to be a work of national benefit and utility, will be a source of in-
creasing profit to the Company, when the anticipated facilities and
benefits of it will be felt throughout a population of near 2;000,000
of inhabitunts.

HAPPINESS, " the gay to-mortow of the mind,"
is insured by marriage. Previous, however, to entering
into the hallowed obligation of marriage, it becomes an impressive duty
not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from
those impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have
drupesentaile it. Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence
in the t will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the
premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the natural
dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized sufferer more
than doubts the chance of relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves,
offering hope—energy—muscular strength—felicity. The easy cares of
married life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings
which concentrate the nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often con-
stitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy im-
proved into functional power. In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as
well as in every relaxation of the generative economy, we pledge our abi.
lity to cure speedily, and with effect. Confident in our own honourable irate.
grity as members of the College of Surgeons, we refer the suffering com-
munity of either sex (especially those entering into matrimonial life) at
once to out house, where daily attendance is given for personal consulta-
tion , and letters from the country are immediately answered ; these nmst
contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, describing minutely the
case, which can be lorwardad to any part of the world, however distant.
No difficulty can occur, as the Medicine will be securely packed, and eare-

portion of the early part of her life. About two years ago
she became acquainted with a young man a .the name of
Richards, who paid his addresses to her, but he su..l)sequently
entered his Majesty's service, and went on board ,t.`le Con-
ftanee steamer. This vessel put into Fahnouth about: three
weeks ago, and Richards renewed his addresses, and ra-
mised that he would marry- her if she accompanied him to
Woolwich, where he said ho was to be paid off. She was
induced to consent to ,this proposition, and accordingly er.l.
barked on board the steamer, taking with her the whole or
her clothes, and the little money she had contrived to save
while in service. On Sunday, the Ist instant, the Confi.
once arrived at Woolwich, and they had scare* gone along-
side the Cock-yard, when her sweetheart made he.-go on shore,
and desiring her to go to a public-house which he :lamed, bid

her wait until he came there. She followed the Oireetion;

sl:e had received, but he never came near her ; and when
,she went on board the Confiance to complain of the con-
duct she had experienced, Richards threatened to threw
her overboard, and said that she must get back again to
Falmouth as well as she could. The applicant further said
that she had complained of Richards's conduct to the of-
ficers on board the steamer; but although they admitted
the heartlessness of his behaviour, yet they could not punish
him, as she had voluntarily accompanied him from Fal-
mouth on his promise of marrying her w their arrival at
the place of destination. Since she was discarded by
Richards she had taken up her abode at Woolwich, and
lived by pledging her clothes ; but this resource being ex-
hausted, all her things except those on her back ipcing at
the pawnbroker's shd has been reduced to great privations.
The unfortunate applicant added, that the object of her
application was to endeavour to get a passage back to Fal-
mouth, where she would have an opportunity of still earn-
ing her bread by honest means, and trusted that the Ma-
;istrates would assist her with their advice as to how she
vas likely to get back again to her native place.
An elderly respectable female who accompanied the appli-
cant, met her that morning in the Kent-road, in a state of
exhaustion, and perceiving that she was a stranger in town,
addressed her on the subject of her present condition,- The
applicant, whose name is E. M., detailed to her the treat-
ment she had met with from the man on board the stet:m-
vessel, and she advised her to make known the circuia-
stances to a Magistrate, and accompanied her to this office.
The Magistrate (Mr. WEDGWOOD) said all they could
do for the poor girl, under the circumstances, was to advise
her to get back to her friends as speedily as possible, and
that if she ascertained when a vessel was going to Fal-
mouth, if she called at the office, care would be taken that
her passage would be paid.

CORONERS' INQUEST.—Yeseeiday evening an in-
quest was held at the Lord Belgrave's Head Tavern, Spur-
street, Leicester-square, before Mr. Higgs and a respectable
jury, on view of the body of Mrs. Ellen Atherton, aged 49,
who was burned to death at her residence, No. 3, Sidney's-
alley, Leicester-square, on Tuesday evening last. Mr. Ar-
thorpe, surgeon, of No. 3, Princes-street, Leicester-square,
about half-past eight o'clock on the previous evening was
fetched by Mr. Atherton, jun., and on arriving at, the house
he found it enveloped in smoke. Mr. Atherton, who was
suffering from extreme agitation, said that his unfortunate
parent was in the drawing-room when the catastrophe hap-
pened. Witness proceeded there and found the remains of
the unfortunate lady on the floor. Her apparel was burnt to a
cinder, and her person frightfully burnt. Life was quite ex-
tinct. Mr. Thomas Atherton, son of the deceesed, saw his
lamented parent last alive about half-past six o'clock., when she
was sitting opposite a fire in the drawing-room. &en after-
wards witness heard his sister scream out, and was then ap-
prised that the drawing-room was on fire. On going up stairs
he found his mother in the situation already described. His
mother was troubled with a cough and asthma, and was irr the
habit of sitting at the fire.—The jury returned a verdict of
Accidental Death.
YACHT CLUB.—FRITH OF FORTH.—We have
great pleasure in announcing that the King has been_ graciously
pleased to intimate, through his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch,
K. G., the Commodore, the intention of his Majesty to become
Patron to the Yacht Club recently established in the Frith of
Forth, and it will therefore be named the " Royal Forth
Yacht Club." Now that our magnificent estuary will speedily
be enabled to boast of acquatic meetings on her waters, simi-
lar to those annually established in so many parts of the
United Kingdom, it is trusted that the public will support
the spirited exertions of its members, and enable them to
muster a splendid fleet of yachts to compete for prizes, when
the time is fixed, which will be at the general meeting on
Monday the IJth of May, on which day also the first annual
dinner of the Club will take place, at the British Hotel,
Queen-street.—Edinburgh Paper.
A short time since a considerable quantity of spirits
of brandy, 52 over proof, with 111 bales of leaf tobacco, were
captured from the smugglers by the Sherringham Coast-
guard, and deposited in the warehouse of the Custom-house.
The smugglers, however, opened a portion of the roof, and
succeeded in carrying off a great portion of the tobacco.—

firE FORTY THIEVES.—A trial of, forty thieves
has commenced before the Second Section of the Court of
Assizes at Paris. The dock had to he enlarged to contain
them, as had the benches allotted to the Counsel. The table
was covered with stolen articles of every description, among
which was a great quantity of plate. The number of wit-
nesses summoned is 375, and the pleaders are 20. Among
the prisoners there are 14 females. The proceedings are ex-
pected to occupy nearly the whole month. The indictment
fills 112 folio pages of very close writing.
The wife of one of the first merchants of Paris
having twice made an attempt. on her life, was sent by her
nusband to a private asylum for luneties. After remaining
several months, the doctors pronounced her perfectly cured,
and she returned to her family. On Sunday her relations
and friends were invited to a dinner to celebeate her recovery.
She took her place at the table, and did the: honours with
grace and propriety. On the company retiring to the draw-
ing-room, she staid behind, but joined them a minute after-
wards in a state of violent excitement, declaring, with a tre,
mulous voice, that, in orderto fulfil a prediction made to her,
she had drank a quantity of liquor, and was dying. She
then sank senseless on an arm chair, and, though every re-
medy was applied, expired in the course of the night. On ex-
emitting the dining-room, it was found that she had swallowed
nearly an entire bottle of brandy.
A fire more calamitous and distressing in its at-
tendant circumstances than any that has for a long period oc-
curred here, broke out yesterday (Tuesday) morning, in
Cos-lick-street, St. Thomas, Exeter. About half-past eight
o'clock in the morning it was discovered that the kitchen
chimney of Mr. Charles Tuckett, who has lately taken pos-
session of a beer house and balse-house there, was on fire. Ad-
joining this beer and bake-house on the west, or in the direc-
tion towards the church, were many small houses filling up the
space between that and a lane which runs south from Cowick-
street, and communicates with the church-fields; these houses
were entirely covered with thatch, while Tackett's is nearly a
new house, with a brick front and covered with slate. About
nine o'clock smoke was discovered issuing from the thatch of
those houses that ran parallel with Tuckett's and fronted the
street. Unfortunately the wind blew strong from the north,
and the whole mass from the front of the street to the church -
fields, consisting of sixteen small houses, besides out-houses
and appendages to the several premises, as also part of the
back premises of Tuckett, became like the glowing oven, and,
spite of all efforts, are entirely destroyed. The distress of the
inhabitants—and they were all poor—was great beyond de-
scription, the rapid spreading of the flames giving no tin.e for
tl c ',reservation of their little property, while what was snatch-
«l from the flames is in a broken and damaged state. But
now cornea the most heart-rending part of the tale. Among
the inhabitants of these houses were a widow woman of the
name of Elizabeth Western, about 50 years of age, with fo-ur
children, two of them living with her, and one of these a
c pc!c ; cad a person cf the name of Townsend, between 40
and 50 years of age, the wife of a joiner, vim had also children,
same of whom are young. The first of these had got her
ch:biren out of the house, and saved portions of her furniture ;
but naturally anxious still to preserve more from the wreck,

site returned once too often into the burning pile, and perished
in the flames. The woman Townsend, it is said, had carried
11,2 r huslnnd'a breakfast, and was just returned as this calamity
occurred. She, also, anxious to rescue as mach as poisible
of their whole worldly stock, ventured too often into the burning
bu !ding, and likewise MI a prey to the flames. The houses
were the property of a mart cif the name of Jacob Wright, and,
it is said, insured in the West of England Fire-office. It is
hoped, however, that the destrucJon thus occasioned in open
day, in the midst of a largo populatteit, and with some of the
most powerful and effective fire-engines in England, will lead
those in authority seriously to see it titer,: be no method of
causing the entire removal of thatch.—Extter Piling Post..
