RE QUEEN OP SPAIN'S MARRIAGE
The marriage of the youthful Queen of Spain
Is certainly deserving of a strain ;
And lest you think we're slighting the " Infanta,"
Our muse shall take the subject up instanter;
We've nothing that's political in view,
That we will leave for editors to do ;
While some folks make a business to assail her,
Our business is the business of a tailor.
We want to give a hint (as you may guess)
Touching her royal bride4room's wedding dress.
"MOSES and SON (without a word's dispute)
Should have the orders for the wedding salt.
Garments like these would make the courtiers stare,
Nor would he find their equal anywhere ;
The Spanish Queen herself would much admire
The elegance display'd in such attire.
MOSES and SON (which fac they scarce need state)
Are daily having orders from the great ;
lknd Egypt's Prince, while visiting our borders,
Forgot not to oblige us with his orders.
Then let the Royal Prince about to marry
Take up the hint which these few verses carry;
mosEs and SON will choicely execute
The Princes order for a wedding smite.

Since issuing the former prospectus, the Committee, being deter-
mined to proceed on the surest grounds, and anxious for the ultimate
success of the undertaking, have made further and more minute in-
quiries into the remunerative traffic to be expected on this line ; and
they are warranted in stating that, the result of such inquiries has
greatly exceeded the expectations upon which they grounded their
former prospectus.
This line of railway, commencing at Bristol, will open a direct
communication with Poole, passing through or near the important
towns and villages of Whitechurch, Pensford, Clutton, Sheldon
Mallet, Bruton, Castle Cary, Wincanton, Stalbridge, Sturminster,
Newton, Shillingston, Stourpain, Blandford, Spittisbury, Sturminster
Marshall, Wimborne Minster to Poole Harbour ; and thus, by means
of the Line of Packets intended to be established by this Company,
from that port to the Channel Islands and Cherbourg, and the rail-
ways now in progress from the latter place to the French capital,
and Irons thence to Lyons, will complete the line of communication
by the most direct way, from Edinburgh to the south of France, thus
enabling that country to supply herself with many articles of com-
merce at little more than half the cost she at present pays, and leav-
ing a good remunerative profit to the Company and producer at home,
Among the various sources of traffic to be expected on this line.
the following are the most prominent :—The supply of the Govern-
ment with Coal from the Welch and Somersetshire pits, by
means of the proposed line, for its different naval and steam
depots throughout the world. The Somerset pits, which are 36 in
narther, yield, at present, about 2,000 tons per diem, but are ca-
pable of yielding a much larger quantity; and, supposing that 2,000
tons were carried by the railway, at Id. per ton a mile, a dis-
tance of 40 miles for 300 days in the year, which is even less
than the Company have every reason to expect, it would yield a
net return of 100,0001., or 10 per cent. upon the estimated capi-
tal ; deduct then 40 per cent. for working the line, wear and tear,
arid there remains the sum of 60,0001., or 6 per cent. per annum
on the capital. There can be no doubt of the demand of this
important article of general consumption. from the great dimi-
nution of price to the consumer by the costs of carriage being
reduced to ld. per ton per mile from the present cost, which is
from 6d. to 10d. The supply of the Channel Islands (population
More than 100,000), and of France, with the best species of
coal for the production of gas, as well as for the use of their
manufactures and for domestic purposes. This article, by means
of the various coal pits situated on the line, will yield to the
Company a very fine remunerative profit, and be of the greatest be-
nefit to the coal proprietor; as the coal necessary for the purposes of
gas can be obtained in very large quantities, and delivered at Cher-
bourg at one-third less than they are now giving for the same coal,
and which cannot, therefore, fail to be of equal benefit to the Mer-
chant abroad, the producer at home, and the proposed Company.
Besides these two great sources of coal traffic, there is the supply of
the southern coast, and the different districts on the line, with coal for domestic use, at a saving of from -six to seven shillings a ton.
This is a circumstance that cannot fail to secure to the Company the
entire traffic, and be of the greatest benefit to themselves and the
public in general. In addition to this, the line will offer to the great
manufacturing city of Bristol a mere ready market for all those
articles of commerce of which France and the Channel Islands stand
so much in need, and 'which are manufactured in great quantities at
that city, and as soon as the line is completed, tenders will at once
be submitted to Government for the more speedy transmission of the
malls to the Channel Islands, by which a saving of more than
twelve hours will be effected, and to the North and North-west of
Great Britain a saving of twenty-four hours.
There is also very considerable traffic to be derived from the
various stone quarries, iron mines, and clay pits on the line (the
slay pits alone yielding more than 50,000 tons annually) ; sand front
the Isle of Wight, for the manufacture of glass, of which more
than 10,000 tons annually are used in Birmingham alone; the pre-
sent mercantile traffic which now goes round the Land's End to
the Western Ports ; the great agricaltural, manufacture, and pas-
senger traffic from the rich and populous districts through which
the line passes; and the traffic which must be thrown upon the line
from the Welch iron and coal masters, as being the nearest and most
direct outlet to the Continent for the produce of that country. In-
dependent of remuneration, this line ought to be looked upon as a
great national undertaking and benefit, as it will do away with the
necessity for vessels now employed in the Dutch, Danish, Swedish,
and Russian trades, bound to the western parts of England, going
round the Land's End, by at once opening to them the harbour of
Poole, which has been pronounced by eminent engineers to be one
of the best natural harbours in the world, and capable, at a small
expense, of being made accessible to vessels of the largest class
with perfect safety, and enabling them to send their cargoes
to their different destinations in less time, and at a less
expense, than at present : by this means, not only will the
shipowner and the merchant be greatly benefited, but the
Company would derive art immense annual revenue front the
cargoes of northern produce thus landed at Poole, to be again dist ri-
buted, by means of theirrailway, to the different manufacturing towns
throughout this country ; and the passenger traffic that would natu-
rally follow so large a portion,l,:shidoe

each vessel: this, multiplied by
the4,ooo,
would give the sum of 40,000/., which will be entirely saved by
means of lids line. This is independent of the loss of life, destruction
of property, expense of insurance, and loss of time, which would
all be saved by the projected rail, the statistics of which, did space
allow, would make every one look upon the present undertaking,
riot only as one of great local importance, but one of great
national
benefit.
The advantages have long been known and appreciated, and the
present Company have determined to bring them into play in the
most it'll and efficient manner. The expense of storage at Poole as
well as the port dues are less than at any port in the kingdom ; so
that the merchant would be enabled to keep his goods there at a less
expense than at his own port. He would be enabled to perform five
voyages for every three from the northern parts, and, by means of
the speedy communication by the electric telegraph and the rapid
travelling of the present day, many advantages and conveniences will
be afforded.
A careful preliminary survey having been made by the Company's
surveyor, the line has been pronounced to present less than the ave-
rage engineering difficulties, about thirty miles being through a rich,
populous, and level valley. The harbour of l'oole has also been sur-
veyed, and the bar at the mouth of the harbour has been pronounced
to be capable of removal, and is now actually being removed ; thus
opening to vessels of the largest tonnage one of the safest and most
commodious harbours in the world.
These are a few of the advantages offered to the public by the pro-
jected line ; and the Committee, impressed with the sense of the ex-
cellence and legitimacy of the undertaking, and basing their views
upon ascertained facts and undoubted evidence, feel themselves war-
ranted in offering to all applicants for shares the following conditions,
That no party taking shares in the said Company shall be
liable (in case of failure of the Company) to a larger amount than
five shillings per share, unless a greater sum shall be sanctioned at a
General Meeting of the Shareholders called for that purpose ; so that
in case the Company fail at any period of time prior to such Meeting
being called, the Committee pledge themselves to return 11. 17s. per
share instead of 21. 25., and a proportionately larger amount if the
accounts of the Company, upon inspection, show a less expenditure.
At the first general meeting of the shareholders the Committee
will produce an account, signed by the bankers, of the several sums
received by them on account of the Company, thereby warranting to
the shareholders that the amount subscribed is still in the hands of
the bankers, minus the ss. per share.
The future plans of the Company will be laid before the share-
holders at their first general meeting, and everything submitted to
their investigation and approved.

The line may now be made on its original integrity

lion with the South Staffordshire, near Walsall. Theayl,atto a June-
pany having obtained an Act, last session, for constructin:;etri C°Tn'
from Walsall to Dudley, will execute that, the most expensiv'e line
e part
of the whole scheme, and render it unnecessary for this c ompany to
require more than a capital of 400,0001.
The Diretors have the pleas,Jre of stating that upon this capital
the evidence adduced last session, proved a probable return or cm.
siderably more than tell per sent.
The surveys of last year are now being carefully revised, to enable
Mr. Ita.strick, the present engineer of the Company, to select, where
opportunity offers, the line which will best accommodate the public
at the least expense of construction.
The Directors beg ts inform the Sha-eholders of this Company,
and also those of the Direct East and West Junction Railway Com-
pany, that they have been engaged, for some time past, in making
arrangements, which they feel assured will prove much to their be-
nefit, and not only secure a return for the great expenses necessarily
incurred in the last session, but will also be of material advantage to
the success of their application to Parliament.
The Directors do net propose to make any further call upon the
Shareholders for that purpose, but as it is necessary, in compliance
with the standing orders, that fresh Parliamentary Deeds should be
signed, each Shareholder is requested to attend, with his scrip, at

THE REGISTRATIONS.
CITY OF LONDON.
Yesterday Mr. Arnold revised the list of voters for
the parish of St. Sepulchre, in the ward of Farringdon-
Without, North. The Learned Barrister the❑ proceeded
with the revision of the lists for the precinct of Bride-
well, the parish of St. Bridget or St. Bride, the parish of
St. Dunstan-in-the-West, and the precinct of White-
friars, all in the ward of Farringdon Without, South
side.

Mr. John Bright, M.P., who was on the list for the
parish of St. Dunstan, as the occupier of premises, No.
67, Fleet-street (until recently the office of the Anti-
Corn-law League), was objected to by the Conservative
agent.
It appeared, that though the furniture on the premises
had been sold on the 28th of July, the house had con-
tinued in the possession of Mr. Bright, and other mem-
bers of the committee of the League, and that their
servants had resided there till the 29th of September.
John Connell, the servant who had been left in charge
of the house, stated that he saw Mr. Bright on the pre-
mises in July. A number of Mr. Bright's blue books
and papers remained there after the 28th of July, and
witness removed them to Mr. Bright's house some time
afterwards. Witness continued in charge of the house,
as the servant of Mr. Bright and other gentlemen, till
the 29th of September. If Mr. Bright had come there
at any hour of the day or night, witness would have let
him in, and Mr. Bright might have turned him (witness)
out.

Mr. ARNOLD held that a sufficient occupation was
proved, and retained the name.
The names of Messrs. Cobden, M.P., R. R. R.
Moore, P. A. W. Paulton, P. A. Taylor, and George
Wilson, who were registered as occupiers of the same
premises, under precisely similar circumstances, were
also retained.
The following is the result of the day's revision :

MIDDLESEX.
Mr. L. Shadwell held his court yesterday at the
Vice-Chancellor's Court, Westminster Hall, and dis-
posed of the lists of county voters for the parishes of St.
Martin, St. Anne, St. Margaret, St. John, St. Clement
Danes, St. Paul, Covent-garden; St. George, Hanover-
square; St. James, the Savoy, and Lincoln's Inn; but
no point of sufficient importance to require notice was
raised during the day. The Learned Barrister will hold
a court to-morrow (this day) at Mile-end, to revise the
lists of the north-eastern parishes in the county.

EAST SURREY.
The Revising Barrister sat again yesterday at the
Board-room, Bermondsey.
Mr. Curling, whose case was reported yesterday, at-
tended, accompanied by his tenant and Mr. Allen, a
surveyor, for the purpose of substantiating his claim to
vote.

Mr. Allen, in answer to questions from the Barrister,
said that he had viewed the piece of ground in question,
and although it was certainly very small, yet it had two
frontages, and was in a rapidly increasing neighbourhood;
he considered it would be eligible to build a small shop
on, arid that for this purpose it was worth 50s. a year.
Mr. Drew, the vestry-clerk, who opposed the claim,
said he was of opinion that the New Building Act that
had just come into operation would prevent a house from
being built upon a piece of ground in the confined posi-
tion this was. The Act required that there should be
some outlet at the back of every building, for the pur-
poses of air and ventilation.
Mr. Allen said it was sufficient if the windows fronted
an open thoroughfare ; and, according to his interpreta-
tion of the Act, a house might be built upon the ground
for which the claim to vote was set up, and upon this
view of the case he considered it was worth 50s. a-year.
The REVISING BARRISTER said he was of opinion that
upon this evidence Mr. Curling had made out his claim,
and his name would, therefore, be placed upon the list.
Mr. Curling complained of the unnecessary trouble to
which he had been put by the parish officers objecting
to his claim, when he said there could be no doubt it was
a good one. He had offered to depose to the value of the
property, which was all that was usually required, and
yet he had been put to the trouble and expense of bring-
ing his tenant arid a surveyor before the Court. Under
these circumstances, he said, he trusted the Revising
Barrister would think it was a case in which costs should
be awarded.
The REVISING BARRISTER said it appeared to him
that the parish officers had acted under a bond fide im-
pression that the property was not of sufficient value to
give a vote, and, therefore, he did not consider that
there was the slightest ground for the application for
costs.

There were four claims to vote in respect of a rent
charge upon houses in Bermondsey and Rotherhithe,
which were objected to by Mr. Meymott, the Conserva-
tive agent, on the ground that although the property
had been in the possession of the claimants for the pe-
riod required by the Act, viz. six months, yet as no
payment had actually been made, they were not entitled
to vote.

The REVISING BARRISTER, who had considered his
decision, stated to-day that, in his opinion, it was suffi-
cient for the parties to be entitled to the amount speci-
cified, and that it was not necessary for them to have
actually received it. lie, therefore, held the claims to
be good, and the names were placed on the list.
MADAME ANNA BISHOP.

_ - - -
In the last number of the Musical World a narrative is
given of the career of Madame Bishop abroad, evidently
gathered from authentic sources, by which it would ap-
pear that every circumstance of her professional:lfe, be-
tweeni the years 1839 and 1846, has been attended with
reputation and distinction of the most brilliant and un-
precedented kind—that the potentates of Europe hare
vied with each other in heaping honours upon her, not
only in oral eulogies, but in gifts of excessive value. Her
successes, indeed, on the Continent, if the record doth
not " protest too much"—and, having last night heard
her, we do not believe that it does—have never been
equalled by any English singer ; and, so far as the
recognisance of our own native talent is concerned, we
are glad that, in these sorry times of its manifestation, a
special instance of intellectual and practical merit has not
been overlooked. A note or two borrowed from the
memoir alluded to may at this moment not be
without interest ; Madame Bishop was the Miss
Riviere who, in 1838, was one of the best and most pro-
mising pupils of the Royal Academy of Music, singing
with applause at the Ancient and Philharmonic Concerts,
and also at the principal festivals. After this, influenced
by the suggestions of the present Earl of Westmorland,
she commenced the study of operatic music of the
Italian school, with a view to an experiment on the
stage, and in 1839, at a dramatic concert given by
Bochsa at the Opera House, she sang selections from
Rissini's Tancredi and Gazza Ladra in character,
with credit and success. In the latter part of the same
year she went over to Copenhagen, where she gave ten
concerts under the patronage of the court, netting during
her three months' residence in Denmark upwards
of 12,000 thalers. In 1840 she traversed Sweden,

her at it. Petersburgh, where she sang before their
Imperial Majesties and the leading members of the

davia, Lemberg in Krakovia, and Brunn. There seems
to have been no limit to the enthusiasm which her pro-
gress over this extended route awakened—in one place
she was presented with a Persian carpet and an elegant
sofa; at another some dozen pairs of bracelets were trans-
mitted for her acceptance ; while at Yassi the reigning
prince condescended to lead her out to dance at a court
ball, an act of grace which the Princess Royal followed
up, by bestowing on her a set of turquoises and a purse
of 300 sequins. We read also of a shawl worth 1,000
rubles, as an offering on the part of the Countess Paturka.
A similar kind of eclizt was in store for her in Germany
and Hungary. She gave concerts at Vienna (which she
reached in 1842), Presburg, Pesth, Raab, Carlsbad,
Frankfort, Mayence, Darmstadt, Manheim, Munich,
Innspruck, Trieste, and Rovedero—the King of Bavaria
being her kindest patron during this section of her career.
In 1843 she visited Verona, Padua, Venice, Rovigo, Fer-
rara, Florence, Rome, arriving at Naples in May. In the
last-mentioned city she remained upwards of two years,
the whole of which time she enjoyed the position of
prima donna at the San Carlo and the Fondo, excepting
a short interval in 1844, when she sang for a few nights
at Rome. It seems that her popularity with the vola-
tile Italians never abated during this long period, and
that the mad enthusiasm which was exemplified on the
night of her last Neapolitan appearance exceeded all
ordinary manifestations of popular frenzy. At the espe-
cial command of the King of Naples, she was then ex-
pressly engaged for the celebrated fetes of Palermo ; and
having again reaped a harvest of honours and rewards
from illustrious hands, she turned her steps homewards,
through Switzerland, giving concerts at Zurich, Berne,
Neufchatel, Geneva, and Basle ; afterwards at Heidel-
berg, Liege, and Brussels. Such has been the profes-
sional career of Madame Bishop since the public first
became acquainted with her as a pupil 4:21. the Royal
Academy of Music.

IRELAND. . .
DUBLIN, OCT. 12.—Conciliation Hall was again thinly
attended at the meeting held this afternoon. Mr. Cos-
tello, barrister, was called to the chair. Mr. Ray read
the minutes of last day's proceedings, and
Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL immediately announced a
" letter from his father"—(Cheers)—which he proeeeded
to read, as follows :
" Derrynane Abbey, Cahirciveen, Oct. 9, 1846.
"My dear Ray,—The objections made (though I
think in many instances unwisely and unfoundedly
made) against the Labour-rate Act, seemed to render
necessary the meeting of Parliament to give additional
power to the Irish Government ; but the Lord-Lieute-
nant has wisely, and I would add bravely, determined
not to wait for the tedious process of assembling Parlia-
ment and debating a new Bill, but to take upon himself
the risk and responsibility of making use of powers
sufficient to obviate every objection and conciliate
every interest, so as to be able to proceed with increased
and increasing rapidity in procuring wages and food for
the people.
" It is quite true that an indemnity Bill may be re-
fused when Parliament assembles, but he is ready to
incur the hazard, and to meet the danger, in his anxiety
to obviate the immediate peril in which the country is
involved.
" Having taken this responsibility upon himself, and
assuming every species of necessary dictatorship, there's
no fear that he will stop short in his good work, or
adopt any half measure whatsoever ; fully committed as
he is that his course lies straight ;before him, it would
be a confession of' error to hesitate or delay,in, taking
that course.
" We have, therefore, every right to expect prompt
and efficacious measures—measures the most efficacious
because the most prompt.
" The people want two things::— the first—food, food,
food ; and next—wages to enable them to buy that
food.
"Food must be stored in depots in every convenient
locality. Bread stuffs of every kind must be poured in.
Every one who can afford it should purchase foreign
provisions of every kind.
"We must one and all co-operate with the Lord-
Lieutenant. I have no hesitation in saying that all parties
admit that he is a wise and bold man, and everybody
expects from him energy, promptitude, and decision,
to set the people at work, and to bring food within their
reach.
" I shall be asked whether I still think that a 4lsTa-
! tional Committee' should meet in Dublin. My answer
is ready--I decidedly think so. Ido think that a Na-
tional Committee in Dublin would be most useful in en-
abling the Lord-Lieutenant to carry out his views, and I
am happy to see that the formation of such a committee
has become the object of avowed consideration by men
of rank and large fortune, who are not connected with
me by any influences, or by any community of political
opinions.
" The emergency in which the country is involved has
compelled them to see that the combined energy and
wisdom of the :landed proprietors of Ireland are abso-
lutely necessary to enable the people to escape from the
horrible evils which surround us, and to make arrange-
ments for the incalculable dangers that menace us in
the apprehension of another and another year of pesti-
knee and famine.
"If there were a prospect of better times, by the
amelioration of the seasons in one, two, three, five, or
many months, then, indeed, matters might be allowed to
take their course without any special intervention of the
landed gentry. But one year must, and many years
may, perhaps, elapse before we have arrived at anything
like the position of ordinary safety or security.
"It seems, therefore, the height of absurdity not to
make arrangements for the coming together of those
landed proprietors who are most interested in the wel-
fare of the agricultural population of Ireland. Men
should meet without distinction of party or religious dif-
ferences—all points of dissension should be buried in
oblivion—we should confine ourselves to discovering
remedies for the present position of affairs, fearful as
they are.

the meetings that have lately taken place on
the subject of the public distress have been perfectly
free from the taint of any political or sectarian dif-
ferences.
" There is one topic upon which it will be totally un-
necessary to deliberate, at least such is my humble but
strong opinion—l mean the calling for a speedy session
of Parliament. Such a measure at present, instead of
facilitating, would only serve to retard the modes of re-
lief which we have a right to look to from the energy
and promptitude of the Lord-Lieutenant. But there are
abundant topics for the consideration of the National
Committee exclusive of calling for a session of Parlia-
ment—topics that involve the imminent danger of the
lives of the entire agricultural population.
" It may be said that my taking so persevering a part
in suggesting the formation:of a National Committee may
rather prevent than promote the meeting of such an as-
sembly; but it has not done so hitherto. Many, very
many landed proprietors have already taken up the
matter as their own, nor have they waited for the sug-
gestion of Mr. Bernal Osborne in order to show that
they did not shrink from a participation in my views on
the subject of the calamitous distress, by reason of my
difference of opinion with them upon important subjects
of a different nature.
" Mr. Bernal Osborne, indeed, has endeavoured to
coax them with a scrap of Latin to enter into my
plans. He has done me an essential injury by his un-
classic, because hackneyed quotation—' Fas est ab hosk
doceri.'

" Yes, he does me great wrong. lam not the enemy
of the landed proprietors of Irelanl: on the contrary,
I conscientiously believe myself to be their sincerest
friend. I believe that my counsels would most essen-
tially serve them.

" As to hostility, Mr. Osborne himself is a greater
adept in that quality than I am, as witness his snappish
attacks upon the Whigs—attacks which evince more
of piety than of sound policy. lie may be quite sure
that with all his good qualities, and he has
many, he will not obtain any respect from the Irish
people by indulging in any under-current of animosity.
Much better, indeed, would it be for him to join
with those who recollect that neither Whigs nor Tories
can ever permanently cure the heartsore of Ireland so
long as the Irish people are precluded from legislating
for their own country. From domestic legislation alone
is a permanent and perfect cure for the evils of Ireland
to be expected.
" There is one thing certain—that no Parliament
could possibly render the people of Ireland more miser-
able, more wretched, or less able to struggle against the
to assist the Lord-
Lieutenant in working out his plans of relief. Let us
pressure of even a casual calamity.
"Let us, then, never lose sight of the perseverinc,
struggle for the restoration of the Irish Parliament, by
6
the repeal of the union.
‘h‘ olrnr, othe
let meantime,us
one

all during
combinet ese pressing moments
of
combine heartily, readily, and perseveringly.
" There is one notion that should be corrected—it is
that the Labour-rate Act, asit passed into law, sanctions
no other than unprofitable works. There never was a
more absurd blunder committed by our newspapers than
such an assertion. It is true that in particular baronies,
such as that with which Mr. Monsell of Tervoe is con-
nected, where there is already a full sufficiency of roads
and bridges, the Labour-rate Act has those defects
which the Lord-Lieutenant is about, on his own autho-
rity, to correct. But that is the exception; the general
rule is otherwise.
" For example, in those western baronies in the county
of Kerry the good roads are scant and bridges few.
Here the roads and bridges, as presented. at the special
sessions, are all productive works—that is, productive of
the greatest advantage to the occupiers and ratepayers ;
I repeat, they are emphatically productive works.
" I cannot conclude without regretting that the as-
tounding misery by which we are surrounded deprives
us of leisure even to remark how impossible it is for the
moral force principle to allow us to amalgamate in the
Repeal Association with the men of the sword. We do
not want to be hanged ourselves, or to allow the people
to be hanged, to gratify the puerile vanity of insane de-
claimers ; but we will only persevere the more deter-
minedly to look fur the repeal by means that will involve
no man in guilt or in danger—by means which can never
allow the sacrifice of property, or the shedding of one
drop of blood. With such principles and practice every
virtuous and wise man may join us in the shout—llurra
for the repeal !—Very respectfully yours,
" DANIEL O'CONNELL.
