REPRESENTATION OF TFIE COUNTY
WEXFORD.

It was stated in some of the provincial papers, a
short time back, that it was the intention of the Hon.
G. H. Hutchinson to offer himself as a candidate for
the representation of the county of Wexford, on the
next vacancy. The lVaterford Chronicle, of yeaer-
day, publishes a letter from the Hon. Gentleman,
addressed to " William Dudley, Esq., county Wex-
ford," in which he says—" It is necessary I should
correct an error into which you, Sir, in common with
many others, appear to have fallen. I possess no
property of any kind in Wexford, neither have I the
smallest pretension to represent that county in Par-
liament. No doubt the antecedents of my family
were always honourable there, where the name is yet
held in respect. But what a host of men of talent
and long experience in busineu, old supporters, too,
of the national cause, uz prepared to come forward
on repeal principles, in case of a dissolution:"

IRISH FISHERIES.—A meetilv of OP Proprietors
of Fisheries, in the provinw of Munster, was recently
held in Cork,i ~vlic,n a committee was appointed for
the purpose of adopting such measures, as they should
deem necessary, for the protection of the interests of
parties concerned. In reply to a communication on
the subject 0 the Government, the committee have
eeeived a letter from Lord Eliot, through their
Chairman, the Knight of Glin, assuring them " that
the
Inspectors of Fisheries are about to proceed to all
those rivers from which applications for an alteration
of the close season have been made, for the purpose
of taking evidence, and reporting their opinion, in
each caw to the Commissioners of Public Works."

The overflowing opulence of Liverpool is gradually
producing those effects on the Cheshire suburbs of this
great city which men have not observed without asto-
nishment, even on the Lancashire side of the river. Who
that has lived here for twenty years does not know of
the changes that have occurred in the value of land once
considered waste and almost useless ; who has not heard
of the fortunes that have been acquired here by land
speculations; and who does not know where to point to
whole tracts, once covered with corn, cattle, and gardens,
now learning with a busy population? Even adjacent
villages have been embraced by the giant arms of the
town. The surrounding country is dotted with the
beautiful villas of our wealthy citizens ; watering-places
have sprung up, here and there, on the margin of the
river Mersey; and villages, which once consisted of but
a few huts, have become places of formidable note and
pretension, The flourishing communities on the oppo-
site shore have been fed frondthe same rich source, are
saplings from the same root, and proofs of the healthy
and vigorous condition of the
parent tree. Birkenhead
has made a sudden start, which has excited an interest
last Sunday night. The mother
thmaghout England, and now the affairs. of the
.m igh-
bouring parish of Wallasey are beginning to excite at-
tention.—Liverpool Albion.

RAILWAY IN WEST
yesterday at Milton,
previously at some len)
as to the intentions or tue _
Company with respect to that part of the gi-Inzitryli
" That it is expedient that there shall be a double line
of railway through this part of the county of Kent,
communicating both with the metropolis and with
Canterbury and the coast, and that such line be formed
by an independent company." Mr. Fearon, solicitor
to the Company, pledged the Company to carry out
their line through Dartford, Gravesend, Rochester,
Milton, Sittingbourne, and Feversham, with a branch
to Deal. Ultimately an amendment, supported by
the Mayor of Queenhorough, was agreed to, to the
effect that the line proposed by the Company be ap-
proved of.
PROPOSED JUNCTION OF RAILWAYS.—The sur-
veyors appointed to inspect and survey the proposed
line of railway between the Bricklayers' Arms station
of the Dover, Brighton, and Croydon Railway and
Nine Elms, with a view of forming a junction with
the South-Eastern and South-Western Railways
(and which it is intended shall include .approaches
from Hungerford, Waterloo, and Westminster
bridges, with a view to the general convenience of the
public), have been very active for several days past in
the neighbourhood of the Surrey side of those bridges,
and particularly the New-cut, York-road, and its
immediate vicinity, in laying out and inspecting the
property through which the proposed line will pass,
preparatory to the intended application to Parliament
for an Act to carry out the intentions of the Company
PROPOSED RAILWAY.—We believe we may DOW
positively announce that the line of railway proposed
to be undertaken by the South-Western Company,
between Salisbury and Yeovil, is definitely settleel,
so far as the town of Sherborne is concerned.- It is
intended to be brought through Milborne Wick, thus
avoiding Sherborne Park, and the home grounds of
Sir W. Medlycott, thence it will proceed through
Oborne and over Green-hill, keeping north of Lent-
hay, through Bradford Abbas, and so on to Yeovil.—
Somerset County Gazette.
RAILWAYS IN PERTHSHIRE.—The first ordeals of
these public undertakings—the Parliamentary notices
—has been passed by the four proposed railways con-
nected with this town and county—viz., the gcottish
Central, the Mid-Junction, the ✓Dundee and Perth,
and the Fife and Northern. The committee of the
first-named met here on Friday last, when the line
from Perth to Dumblane was finally determined on.
In the application to Parliament, leave is to be ap-
plied for for two branches from Stirling to join the
Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway ; one near Falkirk,
and the other near Cumbernauld; but which of these
or both, will he eventually proceeded with, will de-
pend upon contingencies. The importance of secur-
ing a communication with the line from Aberdeen
has induced the committee of the Central to take
stock in the Mid-Junction line to the extent of
25,000/.; and the Caledonian Company have pur-
chased a like amount. The application for a branch
from Crieff, joining the Central line near Auchterar-
der, was favourably received, and in the meantime
estimates of the expense, and of the expected traffic,
were ordered, and to be afterwards considered. With
regard to the Dundee and Perth, and Fife Northern
lines, both contemplate crossing the Tay at or near
Newburgh. If the application for a bridge there be
unsuccessful, a ferry will be substituted.—Perth
Courier. ,

The special meeting of the York and North Mid-
land Railway held in the early part of the 'a eek was
for the consideration of the several extension lines to
be carried out by that Company. The Directors pro-
posed to increase the capital nearly one-half, and
there will then be 190 miles of railway, which will
have cost about 10,000/. a mile. For this increase of
capital 25,300 shares of 251. each will be created, to
be apportioned at the rate of one new share to every
501. share of the original stock. The extensions to be
made are considered to be quite essential to the sup-
port of the traffie and its consequent revenue, and ap-
pear to be such as the Company are called upon to
execute to accommodate the increasing demands of
the local population. "In this respect," says the
Railway Chronicle, " the York and North Midland
extensions afford an example to other great lines well
worthy of imitation." The new lines will be the
Sherborne and Doncaster, 19 miles in length, costing
175,000/. ; the Harrowgate, 17 miles in length, cost-
ing 200,000/. ; the Goole, 12 miles in length, costing
100,000/. ; the Bridlington, 19 miles in length ; the
Whitby and Pickering line, just purchased 113- Mr.
Hudson, 80,OCO/. ; the capital required, 1(.01" the whole
being 635,0001. The holders of 'elhy Scrip stand,
in reference to these new sl.ares, in the same position
as the holders of the original York and North Mid-
land 50/. The Whitby and Pickering Railway has
of late, it seems, increased its revenue, and now it is
joined with the York and Scarborough, the expecta-
tion is that it will become prosperous.
The Birmingham and Gloncester Company, in
special meeting, have determined to construct a devia-
tion line through the city of 'Worcester, and from
thence to Droitwitch and to Wolverhampton, re-
serving their main line to the south of Stoke Prior.
To effect this object 500,000/. is to be raised, by the
issue of 10,000 shares of 501. each.
The following are the terms of the lease of the
Sheffield and Manchester Railway, as taken con-
jointly by the Midland and the Manchester and Bir-
mingham Companies :—The period of the lease is
thirty years, terminable at the end of ten or twenty,
by a three years' notice from either party. The rent
to he 5 per cent., on a capital of 900,0001. But should
the weekly receipts, throughout the year, average
more than 2,800/., the rent shall be 5i per cent;
above 3,000/., they shall average 6 per cent.; and for
any further average increase of 250/. a week, the
rent shall increase A- per cent., up to 10 per cent.
There is to be a meeting of the Sheffield and Man-
chester shareholders at Manchester, on the 4th of
November, for the purpose of considering the terms
agreed on by the Directors. It has also been agreed
to carry out the South Junction with the Liverpool
and Manchester, the Ashton branch, the Barnsley
Junction, and the Lincolnshire extension scheme, in
the same manner as already arranged by the Sheffield
and Manchester Railway.
At a quarterly meeting of the shareholders of the
Grand Junction Railway, the usual dividend of
21. 10s. per share, or 10 per cent., was declared, it
being stated that the (receipts continued favourable
for the company. Mr. Moss, the chairman, made a
speech in explanation of the difference existing be-
tween the Grand Junction and the London and Bir-
mingham Boards, according to which the blame would
seem to attach to the latter parties. The Grand
Junction Directors pledge themselves to pursßt the
course they have already marked out, and litate that
they fear nothing from competing lines or rival
interests.

The Paris and Rouen Railway shareholders have
declared a dividend of 24f. 70c. per share, payable on
and after the 7th instant at Messrs. Lafitte, Blount,
and Co.'s. The gross receipts of traffic for the half
year are stated to have been 3,855,591 f. The expen-
diture has been at the rate of 47-195 per cent. on
the receipts. An increase is exhibited in goods traffic,
which it is expected will further improve.
At the Havre and Rouen meeting the report and
accounts were received with every satisfaction. The
Directors say they look for the opening of the line
in the autumn of 1846. With regard to expense, it
is stated that the costs of the works are within the
estimates, but this saving has been nearly balanced
by the greater expense of the land..

THE LATE GALE.—THE IRISH MAIL STEAMERS.
—LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—The heavy gales that have
recently prevailed from the cast, have caused considera-
ble irregularities in the arrival of the mails from Dublin.
The mail steamers, in tolerable weather, make their trips
to and from Kingstown with the greatest regularity in
12 hours and under. They have, however, within the
last few days, been baffled by boisterous head winds and
other causes, which have interfered with their regularity.
The Medina, which left Kingstown on Friday morning
last, at a quarter past seven o'clock, ought to have
reached here, in ordinary course, between seven and
eight on Friday morning. Owing, however, to the Formby
Lightship having been driven from her moorings, she was
detained outside, and did not reach Liverpool till a quar-
ter past eight on Saturday night, having been 25 hours
on her passage. The Iron Duke, which left Kings-
town on Friday evening at a quarter past seven, and
which ought to have been here on Saturday morning,
between seven and eight, did not make her appearance
till half-past two o'clock on Saturday afternoon, having
been nineteen hours and a quarter on her passage. _ She
was retarded solely by the gale. The Urgent, whose
time of departure from Dublin was seven o'clock es
Saturday morning, and which ought, therefore, to have
arrived here shortly after seven on Saturday night, was
not heard of till yesterday afternoon, when she was tele-
graphed off Point Lynes, at two o'clock. She arrived
last night shortly before nine. We then ascertained,
that in consequence of the fury of the gale, she did not
take her departure from Kingstown till half-pant two
o'clock yesterday morning. The Princess was expected
to put out shortly after her. The gale was fearfully
violent on the Irish coast, and several vessels have bees
wrecked near Kingstown, but we have not been able to
ascertain the particulars,
[ADVERTISEMENT.] A CERTAIN CURE FOR
ASTHMA BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—Read the following
case :—James 1191 mes, a cotton-spinner, residing at
Ancoates, Manchester, had been asthmatical for these
last three years; he was frequently so bad, that when
rising from his bed he could scarcely speak or draw his
breath, and would cough and spit for half-an-hour toge-
ther, and often thought he should be choked; he was
much reduced in strength, and after every other means
of cure failed he used these wonderful pills, which have
removed every symptom of asthma, and he is now as
free from it as when he was a child. —Sold (also
