7,0001.' It should have been 70,000/.
PROPOSALS FOR REMEDYING THE PRESENT DEPRES.
sron.-A large body of influential railway proprietors
at Liverpool and other places are getting up a memorial
to the directors of the London and North-Western and
Midland Railways, suggestive of the best means of re-
storing confidence and remedying the present depression.
It is being circulated and signed on the Exchange, and
urges on the attention of directors the following im-
portant points :-That the capital accounts shall bo
closed as soon as possible; that all outstanding accounts
of the legal advisers shall be examined and paid off ;
that the engineering expenses shall be placed on the most
economical footing ; that the expenses at present being
incurred in enlarging stations be limited, and that no
such further expenses be incurred without the sanction
of a majority of the shareholders; also, that no further
engagements, whether contracts for new lines, the Bills
of which have been sanctioned by Parliament, and con-
tracts for works not let, be entered into without such
sanction; the rates of fare and tolls of all kinds not pro-
ductive of a fair remuneration to the shareholders for
their outlay and risk, be raised at once, and where Par-.
lianient has limited the powers of raising such rates and
tells, that application be made next session to enable the
tthhai
tr dt

w trainsdire
directors to raise them to a remunerative scale; that the
number of trains be reduced as far as practicable; that
c tboer srubne sper poaproasteedly,byat
the express trains, except one per day at an increased
rate of fare, be taken off, and that first, second, and
portion to the amount of fare paid. That the boards
of
directors be reduced, that one-third -retire annually, and
and not chosen by the board. tahesppeedrOprinietporr:
By the completion and opening of the great bridges
over the Tyne and Tweed on the North British, pas-
sengers are now enabled to travel by the East Coast
route to Edinburgh and Glasgow without change of
carriage. The train leaving Edinburgh at 9.30 A.X.
reaches York at half-past three, and London soon after
ten o'clock.
THE RAILWAY TO BAGENALSTOWN.-We regret to
learn that the works of the South-Eastern Railway,
which were to connect the Carlow line with our city and
the completion of which by next summer was so posi-
tively promised in a recent report of the directors, were
discontinued in the early part of last week, and that It is
not probable that they will be again resumed this year.
Eleven miles of railway was only necessary to complete
the line from this to the present terminus at Bagenals-
town, and it is most unfortunate for the interests of Kil-
kenny that want of funds should cause the discon-
tinuance of the works at present.-Kilhenny Moderator.

REGISTRATION.--Yesterday Mr. Shad-
v. ell, the Revising Barrister, sat at the White Conduit
House, and went through the lists of voters for the pa-
rishes of St. Andrew's, Holborn and St. George the Mar-
tyr, St. Botolph Without, Alders gate; St. George's,
Bloomsbury ; St. Giles's-in-the-Fields, St. James's,
Clerkenwell; St. Luke; St. Mary, Islington; St. Mery-
l. bone, St. Mary, Stoke Newington; Paddington, St.
Pancras, Liberty of Saffron Hill and Ely Rents, Liberty
of the Rolls and St. Sepulchre, and the township or dis-
trict of Gray's Inn. Mr. Payne appeared for the Con-
servatives, and Mr. James for the Radicals. The votes
of Joseph G. Browning, St. Luke's; G. C. Grovis, and
the Rev. H. Howard, were disallowed, on account of the
description of the property being insufficient. No other
case or interest occurred.
ANOTHER CHARTIST ARREST.—Early yesterday
morning, Sub-Inspector Duckworth apprehended, under
a bench warrant, Samuel Kearn or Kearns, one of the
Chartists included in the late Manchester indictment,
at his house in Ancoat-street. Kearn has been out of
the way for some months, and only recently returned to
his dwelling. He is thirty years of age, and is a hand-
loom-woaver. Yesterday morning he was brought up
at the Borough Court, and required to find two sureties in
501. each, and to enter into -his own recognizances in
loot. for his appearance at the next Liverpool commis-
sion. While being removed, Kearn complained of the
amount of bail required, alleging that he was only earn-
ing ten shillings a week when he was apprehended.—

WESTERN LITERARY INSTITUTION.—MY. C. E.
Partington delivered a very interesting lecture at this
institution last evening on the electro-magnetic tele-
graph, in which ho briefly but succinctly described the
value of telegraphic communications for domestic and
commercial purposes—the defects of the old systems—
the principle on which the electric telegraph is founded
—the advantages which have been, and may hereafter
be expected to be derived from it, &c. The lecture was
very favourably received by a respectable and attentive
audience.

erected at a considerable expense, chiefly through the
munificence of the vicar, the Rev. J. Feeble, will be con-
secrated by the Lord Bishop of Winchester, on Tuesday,
