CHURCH OF KINGSTON-ON-THAMES.
The miserable and uneeclesiastical appearance pre-
sented by the tower of Kingston Church, strikes every
one who visits that pleasant and important town; and
we have recently received more than one communication,
begging us to bring this under the attention of the
parish authorities. The churchwardens, we know, are
fully aware of the discredit brought on the town by the
condition of the church, but they have not yet been able,
at least they were not when we last heard from them, to
induce the parishioners to permit the expenditure which
would be required.

a -
In the autumn of last yeiir, the conductor of this
journal was called in by them to report on the " actual
repairs necessary for the safety of the tower and church."
The tower is indeed in a miserable, if not dangerous
state, considering the vibrutiou caused by the bells when
ringing, and for niece safety-sake, should be attended
to, as also should other parts of the fabric. After
pointing out what were the repairs actually needed, and
their probable cost, the reporter said:—
"I should not be performing my duty if I were not to re-
mind you that this would after all be but patching, and that
the present incongruous aspect of the tower ought not to be
retained. I would suggest that the parish should. consider
whether it is not desirable, whearepairing the tower, that an
endeavour should be made to render the whole 'of it con-
sistent, and in accordance with its original character, which
might be done without a great expenditure, by facing the
whole with flint, continuing up the buttresses, adding battle-
ments, a cornice, and pinnacles, and re-arranging the dials.
" Tne ancient connexion of the original church at Kingston
with the Sovereigns of England, renders this structure
nationally interesting, and should ensure for it careful treat-
ment. My desire that this should not .be lost sight of, must
be my excuse for going in some degree beyond the terms of
the resolution. • " GEORGE GODWIN."
Lysons gives a list of seven if not eight Saxon kings
crowned here, beginning with Edward the Eldr, A.D.
900. In a record of a council held here in 838, it is
called Kyningestun, famosa ilia locus. The stone on
which, according to tradition, tae kings were placed for
the ceremony of coronation (kiug's-stone), still remains
in the market-place, and according to the county news-
paper is about to be erected on a pedestal for preservation.

such persons any sum of money -by Way of penalty
or compensation, atutll be as binding oh, and as good

k;), the Attie ways and meals in alt respects as if the
Eastern Counties Rsilway Company had been parties
ta and executed the tame instead of the Eastern Union
CoMpany.
The CLIAIRMAN said, they would perceive that this
clause was, very different from the other, and therefore
the directors could nut recommend its adosption. Ile
would propose a resolution to the effect that the meeting
do disapprove of the 6th, 7th, and Bth clauses in the Bill
which affa:t the Eastern Counties Company.
Mr.--Grrmisr, a director, referred to the opinion ex-
pressed in the report of the late Committee of Investi-
gation, in favour of giving every reasonable assistance
to the undertaking, and the establishment of a packet
station at Harwich, on the ground that it would hare the
effect of increasing the traffic on the main line. The
length of line was eleven miles, ancUthe capital was not
to exceed 200,090/. The Eastern Counties Company
had power, to lease the line in perpetuity, and the pro-
posed clauses were to enable the company to purchase
the undertaking. But the clause lately introduced in
the Bill would have the effect, if adopted, of bindtng,the
company hand and foot to all the liabilities the Eastern
Union may have incurred, and he hoped they would
reject the Bill.

•
Mr. NATHAN did not think it advisable to incur any
further liabilities in making now lines. Their
.object
should be to close .the capital account as loon as possi-
ble.—(Eiear.) He thought a better and cheaper line to
Harwich could be made than the one proposed.
The CRAM:44.N said that st the Isst meeting the
,directors had. pledged themselves to clog* tlie capital
account, and they would* act in accordance with that
promise.

Mr. CHRISTIE said that he held a number of proxies
in favour of the two original clauses in the Bill, but
that since the third clause had been introduced, which
would be prejudicial to the interests of the Eastern
Counties proprietors, he had determined to revoke these
proxies, and he hoped they would not sanction such a
13111.

Mr. M‘PiLtu, said that anything in the shape of
amalgamation could not fail to be very detrimental to
their interests. Were it not for their connexion with
the Norfolk Company, he belie►ed their dividends
would have been larger.
After some observations from Mr. Box and Mr.
Howxs, a resolution was unanimously carFied, to the
effect that the special meeting of the Eastern Counties
Railway Company disapprove of clauses 6,7, and 8, be-
ing all the clauses in the Bill which affect the Eastern
Counties Company.
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to
the chairman.

of.conveyance of it by lighters, and only subject to in-
terruption by the rarely occurring south-east wind. In
addition to the benefit this harbour will offer as a renge
from gales and hostile-cruisers, as an advanced rendez-
vous for the collection of convoys, and as a station
for bee Majesty's ships to be in readiness to protect
the trade and follow the movement of an enemy's
squadron, it will amply afford to the merchants and
shipowners of London, &c., assistance to the
voyages of their ships. The south-westerly
winds blow full eight months out of twelve,
and the consequent delay averages four weeks on
every southern export' voyage from the Thames ;
this detention arises chiefly in the Downs, and at
the anchorage within the Isle of Wight, not from
the impos.ibility of getting from either, for in triode.
Tate weather they can always get from them, but from
the impracticability of getting into the safe sea-room of
the channel, without exposure to those serious dangers
which present so melancholy a picture in our daily
and weekly journals. The distance from the Isle of
Wight to the part of the channel in which ships
may be said to be in safety, is about 90`miles, and as
Portland is 50 to the westward of the Isle of Wight,
and may be reached in a tide time, when so protected
that ships will not only'be safe when caught there
with a south-east wind, but be enabled to, get to sea
without difficulty, with the wind from any
point of the compass, they will now get
from the Downs to Spithead, from Spithead to
Portland, and from thence into the safe sea-
room of the channel! The tides turn thtee hours
sooner on the shore than in the offing, and the
wind near the shore is generally influenced* by the
land. With the assistance of nine 'hours' tide with
them' out of twelve, and the favoutable slants
of —the wind, the skill and perseverance of ship-.
masters, when having this harbour to run to in
the event of a gale, will materially decrease the
detention.•they have hitherto been subject to.
The south-east wind rises rapidly. and blows strongly,
and is the wind on which outward bound ships
depend to effect a quick voyage. Those
from the other eastern points are generally of
short duration, and the benefit of being advanced
a few leagues to the westward on their springing up
is frequently equal to the time occupied in a West
India voyage, while others which sailed at the same
time from the Downs had been compelled to put
back again in consequence of the wind shifting to
the westward before they could get below
Guernsey. Although the south-west wind pre-
vails two-thirds of the year, yet on an average it
does not blow strong above a third of that time,
and hence shelter and assistance will enable the
ships to be making progress on their voyage 160
days of the time they have been detained at the
eastern anchorages. If, then, the pay and victualling
of the crews, and the loss of interest on the invested
capita( during that period will be saved, it is important;
but if we take into consideration the consequence of a
late arrival of cargoes at the foreign markets, we may
ask if by so far ensuring an early arrival, a material
benefit is not conferred ? English manufacturers
have to compete with the productions of other coun-
tries, which, though of interior qualities, supply the
demand in the absence of British merchandise. Even
in our own colonies, the seasons, as at home, have
their peculiar requirements, and an expeditious voy-
age is alike essential to profit, and a quick return of
the investment.

The merchants, shipowners, and commercial com-
panies, the public and tha Legislature, are aware of
the immense value of the trade of London, and ap-
preciate the protection and aid that will arise from
this harbour of refuge, the value of property saved
from wreck, and the impetus given to commerce will
annually produce millions, It is clear that the actual
necessity for the great advantage'and practicability of
the breakwater both as a central rendezvous on the
score or commerce and humanity so much required
between Portsmouth and Plymouth, as well u its
adaptation to afford a means of national offensive and
defensive operations, is apparent in every point of view.
