This Company is established with a view to afford the pub-
lic increased facilities in the conveyance of mails, passengers,
specie, and merchandise between England, via Harwich, and
the ports of Rotterdam, Hamburg; Antwerp, dr,c.
A traffic arrangement for a term of years has been entered
into with the Eastern Counties Railway Company on advan-
tageous terms, and the Directors have secured the co-opera-
tion of the authorities of the Dutch-Rhenish Railway Com-
pany, and the other inland navigation and railway establish-
ments in Holland and Germany, all of whom are so convinced
of the advantages to be derived from this line of communica-
tion, as the most desirable for passenger traffic, and the
speedy conveyance of merchandise and perishable goods, that
they are anxious to promote the views of this Company to
the fullest possible extent.
The town of Harwich is 68 miles from London by railway,
and its port is the most convenient for direct communication
between London and all the great seaports in Holland and
Belgium, and thence to the northern and central parts of tho'
continent of Europe.

Passengers proceeding to India via Trieste, by Harwich,
Rotterdam, and the Duteh-Rhenish Railway, will effect a
saving of 48 hours, as compared with the route via Marseilles;
the lino from Rotterdam to Trieste being on the eve of com-
pletion without a break.
The harbour of Illarwich is safe, commodious, and easy of
access in all weathers and states of the tidc-advantages
which no other port possesses on the eastern coast south of
the Humber.
By the opening of this route via Harwich the dangers and
delays of the intricate navigation of the Swin and the mouth
of the River Thames are avoided, whereby a saving of time
is effected to Hamburgh, Rotterdam, and Antwerp of from 10
to ll hours ; whilst the route to Oberhausen and thence to the
northern parts of Europe is four hours and a quarter less by
Harwich and Rotterdam than that by Dover and Ostend, as
per tabular statement, and thus the termer must become the
direct route of postal communication.

DARING ARREST.—A warrant has been out since last
September against John Fitzpatrick, of the Slate quar-
ries, in this county, for a felonious assault on a deaf and
dunib girl ; and he has ever since baffidd the police,
although frequently hunted through the counties of
Waterford, Clare, Tipperary, and Kilkenny, bis de-
scription constantly appearing in the Rue and Cry.
However, Constable Crowe, of the Slate-quarry Conte-
bulary Station, acting on private information as to the
delinquent being at work on his father's quarry, a die-
tance of about two miles from the barracks, laid an ad-
mirable plan for his capture, and subsequently carried it
out with success on Friday last. The quarry is on an
eminence, from which all approaches are visible for a
considerable distance, so that no policeman could come
near the spot unobserved-by one, on the look out, and
therefore Fitzpatriok considered himself safe, as he fre-
quently boasted of defying the whole police force to catch
him when once at arm's length from them. The cavi-
-1 stable sent two men in plain clothes by a circuitous route
to place themselves at a given point OR the Tipperary
side of the quarry, and two more, similarly attired, by
another devious path, to place themselves are at a
specified place at the Kilkenny shit, of the quarry ; while
he himself with two wren in uniform fully armed, pro-
ceeded from the barracks direct. The moment the
