RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

MID-KENT AND DOVER RAILWAY (LAND-
" -----

OWNERS' LINE.)
A numerous and influential meeting of landowners,
occupiers, and inhabitants of the eastern division of
Kent, between Canterbury and Dover, was held yes-
terday at the Town hall, Dover, to take into consi-
deration the project of supporting the Mid-Kent
and Dover Railway Bill now before Parliament.
The chair was taken by the Mayor, J. Finnis, Esq.,
and the following were among the landowners pre-
sent :

The High Sheriff of the county, M. Bell, Esq., Mr.
E. R. Rice, M.P., Admiral D'Acth, Sir Brooke
Brydge, Bart. General Sir Francis Cockburn, Dr.
Soulby, Dr. Sillery, E. Jones, Esq., Rev. Thomas
Morris, S. M. Latham, Esq., 0. Snoulton, Esq.,
James Walker, Esq., J. B. Knocker, Esq., &o.
The CHAIRMAN having opened the business of the
meeting by expreassing his approval of the scheme,
Mr. E. KNOCKER and Mr. MEADOWS WHITE, the
solicitors to the landowners, who are promoters of the
Bill, entered into an explanation of its provisions, and
stated that the capital was ready for advance at four
per cent. interest, and that if the landowners and in-
habitants of those portions of the county which were
destitute of railway communication, were willing t •
give their sanction to the undertaking, every
effort would be made for its successful accomplish-
ment.

Sir P. COCKBITRN proposed the first resolution,
" That in the opinion of this meeting a direct and
safe line of railway from London to Dover, connect-
ing with its terminus the naval and military depots
in the country, is of great national importance, and
will be of the utmost benefit to this town and port,
and the districts to be served by it."—(Hear, hear.)
The advantages of a protected line of railway from
London to Dover, both for private and national pur-
poses, would be so great that he cordially gave his
assent to the proposition, and he hoped that all the
landowners throughout the county would use their
influence to secure it.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. RICE, M.P., seconded the resolution. He was
not fond of making predictions, but he assured his
brother landowners, that if the Mid Kent and Dover
line was not carried through Parliament this year,
the county would never rest satisfied until it was car-
ried.—(hear, hear.) None who knew anything of
the districts through which the Mid Kent and Dover
line was to pass, could doubt the necessity which ex-
isted for another, and a direct line of railway
from London to Dover.—(lleac, hear.) He believed
that the county generally, and the public at both
sides of the Channel, would be largely benefited by
the railway,- and he felt he would only be doing his
duty, by giving the undertaking the most cordial as-
sistance in his power.
Sir BROOKE BRYDGES, Bart., supported the resolu-
tion. He had a thousand acres of land which would
and he could
be affected by the provisions of the Bill,
only say that he would cheerfully consent to have. it
rated for the payment of the interest
be raised, because he was convinced_ the
.advan-
tages to be gained by his property from the contiguity
would more than overbalance any of the railway thatnutthe capital to
pos-
sible contribution in the shape. of a rate in aid. He
advised every landholder in the county to support the
guarantee.—(Hear.)
The resolution was carried unanimously.
The Riau SHERIFF proposed the next resolution,
declaring thatthe project was based upon sound and
d
principles, and afforded in its details every
guarantee for public and private advantage, and was
thereforeenurg
in
deserving of the cordial support of the land-
owners and occupiers of the several parishes traversed
and contiguous to the line. He was one of the
trustees of the railway project, and was fully ac-
quainted with its details. The principle on which it
was to be constructed and worked was precisely
similar to that on which all the public works of the
empire were conducted, and it was brought before the
public with these additional considerations, that it was
not a scheme for private profit, but that its object was
to afford communication where none now existed, and
to facilitate the intercourse between the metropolis
and the continent.—(Hear, hear.) The Railway
Commissioners had already reported most strongly in
favour of a direct line of railway, connecting the

Admiral D'Acru proposed the next resolution, to
the effect that the principle of the contingent guaran-
tee in which the project was brought forward and
based, appeared to the meeting to be reasonable and
just, and in accordance with the recognised rules of
our social economy, and that it cordially approved of
the measure now projected, and pledges itself to give
it all the support in its power.
The resolution was carried, as were several others,
after which the meeting separated.

DUBLIN AND GALWAY RAILROAD.—It is now all
but certain that the line of railway communication
between Dublin and Galway will be completed early
in June. The Galwegians are flattering themselves
with the assurance that the Americans visiting the
great Exhibition of 1851 will take Galway en route.

IRISH ENCUMBERED ESTATES.
DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING.--The unsold lots
of the estates of the Earl of Mouutcashel, in the county

Belfast, by order of the Commissioners. Mr. Hynd-
man mentioned that the first lot on the list was
Elginney, which contained 961 a. Ir. Bp. English sta-
tute measure, including waste, bog, water, &c., and
showed a net rental of 3491. 93. It was sold for 5,2001.
to Mr. A. Cowan.

tates Court, who died rather suddenly on Monday,
has left 8,0001. to the sons of Baron Richards. Mr.
Seed succeeds Mr. Armstrong.

THE STORM- ON THE SOUTH. WESTERN

COAST.

PLYMOUTH, JAN. 9.—Yesterday this town and
neighbourhood was visited by a very severe storm, the
wind blowing terrifically, and rain falling in torrents.
The slates and tiles flew off in all directions. One
chimney stack was blown down in Notte-street, for-
tunately without doing any damage. During the
day some anxiety was felt for the homeward-bound
ships in the Channel, the sea running very high, and
the storm continuing without any abatement. In the
course of the afternoon the Three Brothers, Mr. Peak
master, belonging to Mr. Yeo, laden with corn from
the Mediterranean, got on the rocks at Deadman's
Bay, where she remained for several hours until the
flow of the tide, when she was got off with some
amount of damage. Further down the Catwater, the
schooner Heroine, of Dartmouth, got on the Carpen-
ter's Point, but was shortly afterwards got off. The
I. 0. narrowly escaped getting aground, and the
Ocean was reported to have " gone on" somewhere in
the harbour. While the True Blue collier was lying
at anchor in Catwater, the Diamond coaster, in run-
ning in, got foul, and carried away the bowsprit and
bow-gear of the True Blue. Off Cremyll the waves
were fearfully large, and a mud barge was upset on
the Fridge between the Island and Mount Edge-
cumbe ; all hands saved. She lay last night bottom
upwards. It is feared that the above are the least of
the casualties that have taken place around this port
DEVONPORT, JAN. 9.—Yesterday (Wednesday)
afternoon a fatal accident occurred off the dockyard,
under the following circumstances party of rig-
gers were returning from the Bloodhound steamer in
the afternoon, when, having just arrived at the mast-
pond, a sudden squall came on, and the boat imme-
swith
diately capsized. Fortunately there were several men

great deal of injury was occasioned by it to the ship.

as well as to houses situated upon rising ground,
and we fear we shall have to report an extended list of
casualties, for the storm raged with unabated violence
for many hours.

FUNERAL OF MR. CHARLES HIBBLE.—The funeral
of the late Mr. Charles Nibble, whose death we announced
on Saturday last, took place yesterday. The procession
started from the residence of the deceased, 2, North-terrace,
Mount-street, Westminster-road, at a quarter to two o'clock,
and reached Paddington church about three. In addition to
the male members of Mr. Ilibble's family, there were, forming
part of the funeral train, Mr. Homer, Governor of the Incor-
porated Society; Mr. Clifford, Chairman of the Asyliant
JAIr. Rountree, Chairman of the Protection Society; Mr.
Marrian, Chairman of the United Towns Association of Li-
censed Victuallers; Mr. Hutton, from Birmingham; Mr.
Bishop, past Trustee of the Incorporated Society; Mr. Mt,
past Chairman of the Protection Society; Mr. Winter-
botham, Trustee of the Protection Society; Mr. Smalley,
Secretary of the Incorporated Society; Illr. Jones, Secre-
tary of the Asylum ; Mr. Smith, Secretary of the Protection
Society ; and Mr. Stevens. On the ground we observed Mr.
Findley, Senior Trustee of the Incorporated Society ; Messrs.
Toembers and Row, past officers of the same; Mr, Painter,
of Westminster, and various other friends of the deceased,
who were anxious to avail themselves of the last opportunity
thus afforded them of testifying their high respect for his
memory. The funeral service of the church having bean
impressively read over the body, it was consigned to the
grave, amid the deep regrets of those who were present.
The coffin, in compliance with the dying request of Mr.
Ribble, was exceedingly plain. The inscription, which had
also been suggested by himself, some time before his death,
was simply " Mr. Charles Ribble, the Licensed Victuallers'
Friend, in his 50th year.”—Adrerfiser.
FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday after-
noon a young man of the name of Robinson (son of Mr.
Robinson, of the Royal Oak Inn, Itchen), with two com-
panions, went out in a sailing boat from Four Posts, but had
not proceeded far before they were overtaken by a violen
storm, when the boat upset, and all three were drowns d.
The body of one of the unfortunate young men was washed
on shore on the following morning. The other -two are still

A NOVEL.

" The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could
hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard cf morality and religion, and by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage In which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
on matters that are the prima mobilla of the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraells, Alan-
ncrses, and Smythes."—Observer.
Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great
good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en
gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha-
racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we
h we given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have
said. The other ladies who play conspicuous parts in the tale are
Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and
impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry ; and Julia
M.-I.:stand, the nobleet and best of them all."—Morning Post.
