RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY.

The Liverpool and Manchester Railway Company
have given the necessary notices that they intend to
apply to Parliament next session for powers to effect
the following objects
To alter, extend, and enlarge the present passenger
station in Lime-street, Liverpool, the present goods
station at Wapping, and the old station at Crown-
street, Edge-hill.

To purchase land and make another branch and
tunnel between the goods tunnel to Wapping and the
passenger tunnel to Smithdown-lane.
To make another tunnel from Edge-hill to Water-
loo-road, at the north end of the town.
To make a branch from Barton-on-Irwell, in the
parish of Eccles, through Worsley, Pendlebury, and
Clifton, to join the Manchester, Bury, and Rossendale
Railway.
To make a branch from some point of the Liver-
pool and Manchester line, between Newton and Park-
side, to communicate with the North Union line.
To make a railway, with tunnels, from Barrow-
nook Moss, in the township of Rainford (there to com-
municate with the St. Helens and Runcorn Railway),
to the north end of the town of Liverpool.
To authorise the Liverpool and Manchester Com-
pany to purchase the Bolton and Leigh and Bolton
and Kenyon Railway ; and
To make a line from the Runcorn and St. Helens
Railway to Rufford.

PROPOSED BRANCHES OF THE GRAND
JUNCTION RAILWAY.
It appears from the Parliamentary notices of the
Grand Junction Railway Company, that the Com.
pany intends to apply next session for powers to
make the following branches to the main line :
1. A branch from Kekewich, in Cheshire, to
Huyton, in this county. In constructing this branch,
it will be necessary to build an immense bridge across
the Mersey, either at Runcorn or Fiddler's Ferry.
The formation of this branch will enable the Com-
pany to effect a saving of several miles, and will
render the line between Liverpool and Birmingham
as straight as it is possible to make it.
2. A branch or branches to Stoke-upon-Trent and
the populous district of the Potteries.
3. A. line from triar's Wood, West Bromwich, to
the heart of the mineral district at Dudley; and
4. A line which will serve as a branch of the
Grand Junction from Wednesbury, near Wolver-
hampton, to Shrewsbury.

PATENT PARAGON CAMPHINE LAMPS,

The perfection of these Lamps over th• Vesta has been
happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger
and a smaller forming a cons round the margin of the wick, which
cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus condensing
every particle of volatilized vapour, It is free from smoke or smell,
having perfect combustion, and in full action, emits a light equal to
16 wax candles.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1844

If we have formed an opinion very unfavourably
to the political tendencies of Sir JAIIES GRAHAM':,
public character and career, we have not allowed that
prepossession to bias our judgment on the Right
Hon. Baronet's administrative merits. In the busi-
ness of his own bureau, we conscientiously believe
that no Minister -can be named who displays more
business-like talent, more untiring energy, or greater
zeal for the interests of the public service, than Sir
JAMES. But there is really a leaven of insincerity
—a want of fairness—a disposition to assume and
exercise to its utmost extent whatever powers of arbi-
trary authority he can appropriate, either in virtue
of the remissness of Parliament in passing new
statutes, or the vicious organisation of his office
under former ones ; there is something of the sort,
we say, alWays incorporating itself in the acts of Sir
JAMES GaMIAM, whether we look at the legislative
enactmentii,fie, originates, or the acts done by him in
his executive capacity. The proofs of this proposi-
tion are et, hand. His labours on the New Poor-
law, Factory Employment, Education, Model Pri-
sons, and , other such questions, are its exponents.
Their force and effect, again, may be considered as
not a little confirmed by the language assumed by
Sir JAMES on matters of privilege, on his acknow-
ledged violations of Post-office responsibilities in M.
MAzzisr's case, and other such affairs. At the close
of the last session, we pointed, from time to time,
and as they were suffered to ooze out so as to attract
public notice, to Sir JAMES'S scheme for the reform
of the medical profession, as offering another salient
point for animadversion. The truth we take it is,
that Sir JAMES'S career -as a public man is beset by
the bad influences of two very evil genii—the love of
demiration and the love of jobbing. Mr. KEELEY'S
considerate management has lately provided, we ob-
serve, Seven Castles of the Passions. He must fabri-
cate two More, and each of them as strong and as
impassable as the Pentonville Bastille, if he would ac-
commodate the other two very powerful members of
the same family who are at present—as they have
long been—" in waiting" upon Sir JAMES.
The perusal we have recently given to a very able
pamphlet,. entitled "An Address of the Society of
Apothecaries to the General Practitioners of England
and
dtte
r Wales on the Provisions' of the Bill " for the
regulation of mediCal practice throughout
"the United Kingdom,". has revived theshe. painful
T
impressions in us with great intensity.: " Ad-
dress" establishes a case against the Bill in question
—and therefore against Sir JAMES

.1 We regard the work before us," The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.
Wemust, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
hut cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer-
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."

The Authors of ' The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to
those whe are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot
fal I to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

having the amount deducted from the turn assured when the Policy
becomes a claim.

HAMBURGH MAIL.

TRHVES, OCT. 30.—Several parish priests in our
diocese positively refused, during the exhibition of
the Holy Garment, to accompany parishioners to see
it, and in a very sensible manner dissuaded them from
undertaking this pilgrimage. By this conduct those
priests have, it seems, drawn upon themselves the
anger of the Bishops, and may expect to be shortly
accused of Hermesianism. The inhabitants of the
Rhenish provinces are too clear-sighted for such
measures to be carried intocaellffsecßt.iihEoiv)eAn

September last year, induced the elders of the Jewish
community at Warsaw to send a deputation to St.
Petersburgh, in order to petition his Majesty the
Emperor to place the civil condition of the Jews on
the same footing as that of the Christians, in reference
to the law of 1817. In the imperial decree issued at
that time, it is said that the adherents of the Mosaic
faith residing in the kingdom may be exempt from
the military conscription and military service so long
as they are not admitted to civil rights, and pay to
the Polish Treasury 105,299 silver roubles annually.
It was intimated to the deputation that they should
receive an answer at Warsaw from the Governor-
General of the Kingdom. This answer has now been
given, but it by no means corresponds with the de-
sires of the petitioners. They are told that they are
not to appeal to the law of 7th January, 1817, be •
cause the grant of civil rights was an act of imperial
favour ; but, with regard to the money paid for
exemption from military service, it was ordered to
cease on the introduction of the military conscrip-
tion, according to the literal tenor of the law ; but
that for the present the fixed sum must continue to be
paid, " because the Jews, by their temperance in the use
of highly-taxed liquors, brandy, for instance, dimi-
nished the public revenue."—Hamburgh Papers.

REPEAL OF THE MALT-TAX,

The farmers never knew the full extent of their
strength till they last year measured it with the
League; but having made the discovery—having
ascertained the amount of pressure which they can
exercise upon statesmen—having, in feet, squeezed
the celebrated declaration on the corn-laws out of
Sir Robert Peel, they conclude that by the same pro-
cess they can squeeze the repeal of the malt-
tax out of him. Accordingly, a Committee has
been appointed in London, and subscriptions
entered into; and it is probable that ht-tween
this and the meeting of Parliament, the question will
be agitated and discussed in Essex and in all parts of
the kingdom. Of the injustice and impolicy orthis
tax, and the advantages that would flow from its
repeal, we need say nothing : they are so clearly
pointed out in the speeches of Mr. Ellis, Mr.
Robert Baker, Mr. Fisher Hobbs, and others, that
we could add little to the arguments they ad-
vance, or the force of the illustrations they employ.
We may assume, for it is not denied, that there
would be a much wider growth of barley, which
in itself would furnish a large increase of labour for
the poor, now so much required, and carry comfort,
and we believe, by weaning them from the haunts
of vice, a greater degree of morality to their cottage;
while at the same time it gave greater scope to the
farmer, and furnished him with a ready and better
market for the inferior descriptions of this grain, which
cannot be now malted on account of the high duty. A.
substitute for the tax, which cannot be yet spared, is the
only question. Double the property tax, if neces-
sary, say the leaders of the new movement. This is
a bold, though not very popular way of putting
the question, because it is calculated to provoke a
powerful antagonism to the repeal ; but we do not
see why a well-regulated property-tax for a
limited period—certainly not the tax in its pre-
sent shape—should not be adopted. We say, for
a limited period, because we are told that the
altered tariff and the new Corn Bill are bringing
large sums into the coffers of the State, and if the
revenue goes on increasing from this source, the
farmers, who were the principal sufferers from the
changes, have a right to demand that the increase
shall be applied for their benefit ; and in what better
way can this be done than in the repeal of the malt-
tax ?—Essex Herald.

The seasons are thus divided : Winter, froin the
Ist November to the Ist May ; and Summer, from Ist
May to the Ist November. The shove is a very brief
selection extracted from the Regiskr of Mr. Mackenzie,
in which is recorded, in separate columns, not only the
months in which all the phenomena occur, but nearly
200 others in detail, forming a system of the weather,
which, when considered as the performance of a solitary
individual, exhibits one of the most useful, continuous,
and stupendous works of research and labour, ever put
upon record in any age or country.
In elucidation of the short tabular view now given, it
may be observed that the average rate of easterly wind
upon the winter season is at present 64 days; and the
rate of the same wind upon the summer season, 76 days;
but it is shown, by the cycle of the winds, that in the
succeeding 40 years, or so, these proportions will be re-
versed—the winter having the greatest amount, and
the summer the least. With respect to the yearly
average, it is here seen that there is a proportion of 140
days east to 217 west wind; but in the course of the time
just mentiored, the process will be reversed—easterly
wind be a [vile higher in amount; westerly, the contrary;
and so on alternately and for ever. And upon this cycle
of the winds all the other phenomena, operations, and
effects of the weather, without the shadow of a doubt,
necessarily depend.

This opportunity ought not to be neglected to correct
one of the current errors with regard to the weather--
namely, that "hot weather" is commonly considered
• fine weather." It is not so; it is a scourge—witness the
summers of 1800 and 1826, when the cattle, in many
places, perished for want of water, and the crops were
literally scorched and ruined, thereby bringing up the
first necessaries of life to a famine price, the wheat botng,
in the first-named year, 110 a., and in 1801, 116 s. a
quarter. It is the mean rate that is best entitled to tha
appellation of "fine weather ;" but even fine weather is
not the best. That which is seasonable—moderately
cold in winter, and moderately mild in summer—consti-
tutes the best weather ; and the great value and beauty
of Mackenzie's system consist in the certainty with which
such seasons, or the reverse, can be forecast for many
years to come.

QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY).

Louisa Manning, a pretty, showily-dressed young wo-
man, who has been frequently committed to the House
of Correction, from this office, for disorderly conduct in
the public streets, at unseasonable hours, was charged
by p.)li,,nnn J 13 ,•-ith th, I, I:
he found the defendant in Queen's-buildings, at three
o'clock this morning, in the society of four or five men,
who were very noisy and riotous. He ordered them to
move on, and they all complied with his request except
the defendant, who went a short distance forward,
and began shouting and laughing in a manner
altogether so different from what he had ever heard
before from " female lips divine," that ho cautioned her
as to the consequences of a repetition of such conduct.
The defendant, however, persisted in disturbing the
peace of the neighbourhood, and many of the inhabitants
threw up their windows to ascertain the cause of the
noise in the street. Finding his remonstrances of no
avail, he tried to take the defendant into custody ; but
this was no easy matter, as Miss Manning threw herself
on the pavement, and resisted his efforts and the com-
bined efforts of others who came to his assistance, with
so much determination, that they experienced more than
ordinary difficulty in conveying her to the station-house.
The defendant simply admitted the truth of the con-
stable's statement, and was committed to her old quarters
for the space of ten days.
James and Lucy Orchard, a young couple, were
charged with pawning a pair of sheets, the property of
James Bagley, a publican, carrying on business in the
Grosvenor-road, in whose house they had occupied an
apartment since Christmas.
The defendants admitted that they pledged the sheets,
but not with a felonious object, as they intended to
redeem them in a few days.
The woman was discharged, but the man was re-
manded until Tuesday, to give the police time to make
inquiries respecting him. He was said to be a suspected
person.

FISHERIES.

In answer to a question from Capt. PECHELL,
Sir R. PEEL said that, aetin:r upon a convention
which had been entered into between this country and
France, a law had been passed securing the exclusive
right of fishing to each country within three miles of
their coasts, and by that law it was rendered penal for
any fisherman to infringe its provisions.

MANORS BILL.

Lord WJIARNCLIFFE moved the third reading of
this Bill.

Lord COTTENHAM objected to the Bill, because the
effect of it was to give up all the mines in the manors
which had not been worked, whilst it provided no
equivalent. He certainly thought that the Bill ought
not to pass without its being distinctly understood what
it was that the Duke of Cornwall was giving up, and
what was the equivalent that he was to receive for it.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE said that the Bill had been
under the consideration of all th© law officers of the
Duchy of Cornwall, and had been approved of by them.
He thought the Duke of Cornwall received great ad•
vantage for what he had given up. The matter bad
been well considered he knew, for be was one of the
persons who had conducted the. negotiations on the part
of the inhabitants of Cornwall—(Hear, hear)—with the
Government, and the law officers of the Duchy were
perfectly aware what they were giving up.
Lord CAMPBELL considered the Bill was being
hurried through the House with most indecent haste.
If it had related to a private estate the Judges would
have been consulted, but in the present instance no
reference had taken place to those learned personF.
Bills were now sent up with such rapidity from the
other House, that their Lordships had no opportunity
afforded them of making themselves acquainted with
their contents. This Bill was contrary to every
principle of prescription, for, although in other parts of
England it was a principle cujus est soluni eju.s est usque
ad cmlum, yet in Cornwall the right was horizontal and
not vertical—the owner of the surface had no right to
anything underneath the surface ; he had no right to
work the mines.
After some observations from the Lord Chancellor, in
support of the Bill, and Lords Cottenh am and Monteagle
against it, the Bill was read a third time and passed.
The Grand Jury Presentment (Dublin) Bill was read
a third time and passed.

TRATION HILL.

Earl DALHOUSIE in moving the third reading of the
Joint-Stock Regulation and Registration Bill, proposed
some verbal amendments, which were agreed to.
The Bill was then read a third time and passed.
COUNTY CORONERS' BILL.

Several of their Lordships were then appointed to
manage the conference with the House of Commons on
the County Coroners' Bill.
After a short time, the managers returned, and

The Earl of SHAFTESBUITY said that he had left
their Lordships' reasons for disagreeing with the Com-
mons' amendments with the conference appointed by the
House of Commons.

IRISH FISHERMEN'S BILL.

Lord WHARNCLIFFE proposed the third rending
of this Bill, in which he made certain arnenc:rnents, which
were agreed to.

The Bill was read a third time and passed.
The Irish Arms Bill was read a third time and passed.
The Protection of Purchasers (Ireland) Bill was read
third time and passed.
ART-UNIONS BILL.

Lord 'MONTE AGLE thought it would be better
that this Bill should not pass at all than that it should
pass without the amendments which their Lordships had
Agreed to. Ile thought it right that all lotteries, as well
as art-unions, should be indemnified with regard to the
past, but he would resist the making of private lotteries
legal in future. He would m we, that, as far as related
to the proprietors of art-unions, that the indemnity
should continue up to the Ist of October.
The motion was agreed to.
STANDING ORDERS.
Earl DALHOUSIE moved that Nos. 223, 224, 231,
and 232, of the standing orders might be rescinded, in
order that others might be substituted in their place to
enable them to carry out the Railways Bill. The objfet
was that railway plans might be first submitted to the
Executive Department of the Board of Trade, which would
make a report upon them before coming to the Commit-
tee. This report of the Executive was not to be conclu-
sive. The alteration would have the effect of limiting
the expenses of those who wished to promote railway
schemes.—The motion was agreed to.
The Commons' amendments to the Roman Catholic
Penal Acts Repeal Bill were agreed to.
A message from the Commons was then brought-by
Sir George Clerk and others, that they had agreed to
their Lordships' amendments to the Insolvent Debtors'
Bill ; also a message that the Commons did not persist'
in their disagreement to the amendments made by their
Lordships in the County Coroners' Bill.
Their Lordships then adjourned until half-past Three
o'Clock to-morrow (this day).
