PROSPECTUS.

The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are
I. The supply of local railway accommodation to the importa-::,
districts embraced by the line.
2. The benefit of railway communication with the metropolis to a
district of country upwards of 50 miles in length at present nnprovided
with that accommodation.
3. The completion of the chain of railway communication between
the river Severn and the southern and western counties, and the
north-eastern districts of the kingdom and the river Humber, and its
ports, including that of Hull.
Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the
London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con-
verge at that town from Cheltenham, and the west from Worcester
and from Warwick, the line will proceed in a direct course to the
market town of Kettering, by which place all the companies com-
peting for the line of railway between London and Manchester pro-
pose to pass. It will then proceed, also, in a direct course to the
market towns o f Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln.
The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran-
them is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo-
dation, not only to the south, but also to the north.
Al Lincoln the line tike fork,
and proceed on the one hand in a
northerly direction to the flourishing port of Gains.
rou
DO gh, and on
the other by a north-eastern course to the market town of Market
Raisen, on the rising port of Great Grimsby.
By an union with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail-
way at Market Raisen, a d rest and uninterrupted chain of commu-
nication will be established between all the above-mentioned districts
and I he town and port of Hull.
The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and
very considerable; some of them only can be here enumerated,
viz.:—
Starting from Great Grimsby the line will appropriate to itself the
whole of the traffic thence to the metropolis, and also the southern
and western districts of the country, and, in addiCon, it will secure
the important and increasing local traffic between that town and
Market Raisen and Lincoln.
From Gainsborough, the termini of several railways from the
north and north-west, this lino will carry the traffic to Lincoln, its
county town.
The traffic from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, will
enter upon this line at Market Raison, and proccied thereon to
Lincoln.
From Lincoln the whole of the traffic passing to the west and the
intermediate towns must pass over this line.
In the, event of the Cambridge and-Lincoln Railway Company not
'Obtaining their Bill, then the traffic from Lincoln to the south and
west, and also the metroPollis, will pass along this line of railway

CacitsTAßY—Frederick Coll'er, Esq.

The entire property of the Regent's Canal Company, extending
from Paddington to Limehouse, having been purchased, it is pro
posed to form a railway on its site, with aft extension from the
City- road basin to the vicinity of the General Post-office.
The vast importance of this undertaking, whereby, a junction will
be effected between all existing and projected railways north of the
Thames, combined with the advantage of a general City terminus,
is too obvious to require comment. _ _ _

By the proposed railway, passengers and goods will be brought
into the heart of the City at a great saving of time and expense,
and facilities will be afforded for the more expeditious transmission
of the mails to most parts of the kingdom.
The line will commence at the Great Western Railway ter-
minus, and will follow the course of the canal throughout, inter-
secting the London and Birmingham Railway at Camden-town,
the proposed London and York and Direct Manchester near Pen-
tonville, the Eastern Counties at Old Ford, and the Blackwall
Railwa4 at Limehouse ; traversing the populous districts lof Pad-
dingteut Camden.town, Islington, City-road, Hoxton, Kingsland,
and Hackney,—terminating at the Regent's Canal Dock at Lime-
house, adjoining the River Thames, to which there is a wharf
rontage of 170 feet.
The basins, wharfs, warehouses, and buildings at the City-road,
Limehouse, and along the line of canal will be equally available
as at present for the large and increasing local goods traffic now
existing on the canal.

Surveys have been made of the property required for the pro•
posed extension, which it is found can be ionstrueted at a corn.
punitively moderate expense.

The object of the Company will be to secure the best accommo-
dation to the public, and to deal impartially with the present and
all future companies who may avail themselves of this line. The
property of the present railway companies will be materially im-
proved, and a great national work effected in a manner and at a
cost which could be accomplished by no other means than by the
conversion of the Regent's Canal.

There are no engineering difficulties of importance to overcome,
the approaches to, and the communications across the line, are
already established, and a comparatively small extent only of pri-
vate property will be interfered with or require to be purchased,
and the completion of the works and the opening of the line may
be confidently expected within twelve months after the sanction of
the Legislature has been obtained.
Applications for prospectuses and shares to be made to the se-
cretary, Frederick Collier, Esq., at the offices of the Company,
Gresham-rooms, Basinghall-street.
Parties who are registered proprietors in the Regent's Canal and
in the existing railways and docks connected with this undertaking
are requested to state the fact in their application.

February 6.—Lord John Russell's resolution against
the alteration in the corn-laws proposed by Sir Robert
Peel, as not being calculated to remove the evils of
the former law, was rejected by 349 to 226 ; majo-
rity 123.
February 9.—Sir Robert Peel, in introducing the pre-
sent corn-law, said—" My firm belief is, that if the
House of Commons should be induced to pledge itself
to a total repeal, which we or. this side of the House de-
precate so much—without relieving permanently the
manufactures of the country, you will only superadd the
severest agricultural distress. Any such disturbance of
agriculture as must follow from a total repeal of the
corn-laws would, in my opinion, lead to unfavourable
results, not only with respect to the agriculturists
themselves, but also to all those numerous classes
who are identified with them in interest. . . • •
I retain my opinion, which I expressed some time ago,
that it is of the utmost importance to the interest of this
country that you should be, as far as possible, inde-
pendent of foreign supply. . . The protection
which I propose to retain I do not retain for the especial
protection of any particular class. Protection cannot be
vindicated on that principle
proposition I now submit to the House, I totally disclaim
any such intention. My belief, and the belief
i f my col-
leagues, is, that it is of the highest importance to the
welfare of all classes in this country, that you should
take care that the main sources of your supply of corn
should be derived from domesti agriculture, while we
also feel that any additional price which you may pay
in effecting that object,is an additional price which can-
not he vindicated as a bonus or premium to agriculture,
but only on the ground of its being advantageous to the
country at large. You are entitled to place such a price
on foreign corn as equivalent to the special burdens
.
borne by the agriculturists; and any additional protec-
tion you give to them, I am willing to admit, can only
be vindicated till the ground that it is for the interest of
the country generally. . . . While, there-
fore, I am opposed to a system of protection ou the
ground merely of defending the interests of a particular
class, I, on the other hand, would certainly not be a
party to any measure the effect of which would be to
make this country permanently dependent upon foreign
countries for any very considerable portion of its supply
of corn." We make these quotations from the autho-
rised edition of the Premier's speech, as revised and
corrected by himself.

the captain said, if "we refused he would eut our I:eart
out, and make us sign them with our hearts' blood." (a
general thrill of horror pervaded the Court at this statk•
went.) I think Spence and Julien were present when
that expression was used. This ..as said after Mar!
death. It was said by the captain several times. 11
was in consequence of that threat that I signed the
depositions. _ _

I signed some papers, but I don't know what the y were
about, and I did it by force. The captain said, " You must
sign it, and if you do not I will kill you." It was 111
consequence of the threat that I signed.

In the course of the debate, Lord John Russell wished
that a compromise might be effected, and expressed his
apprehension that a sudden repeal of the corn-laws would
affect the employment of capital in agriculture, and that
a greater importation would take place than was consis-
tent with the profits of the importing merchant, or the
security of the home cultivator. Lord Howick pro-
claimed himself ready to vote for a total repeal.

" RAILWAY LITIGATION.

- At a preliminary meeting of persons interested, held the 2d day
of December, 1845,
" It was resolved,—That proceedings at law having been threatened
in various railway matters, it is very desirable that, with a view to
the equitable arrangement of just demands, and the resistance of
claims obviously made - under the impressiola that the dread of
ruinous law charges will induce compliance, as also to ascertain the
legal liabilities of, committee-men, shareholders, and applicants for
shares ; and further to elicit the actual circumstances of various
railway projects (matters far too weighty and important for indivi-
dual responsileility), a confidential meeting be speedily convened of
parties who are interested in these objects."
WILLIAM COLLINS, Esq., M.P., in the Chair.

. The names of numerous persons desirous of co-operating having
been given in—

It was unimously resolved,—That with a view to the accomplish-
ment of the foregoing purposes, a Society be now formed, to be called
" The Railway Mutual Protection Society."
That the rules and regulations for the support and government of
the Society now read, be approved and adopted.
And it was ordered that the same be printed for distribution, and
that Messrs. Amory, Sewell, and Moores, of Tbrogmortou-street, the
solicitors of the Society, be authorised to furnish copies thereof to
applicants ; and

That-persons proposing to become members of the Society, are re-
quested to send their names and addresses to the solicitors.

Upon the motion of Sir WlLLtast LOWTHOItP, it was unanimously

resolved—

That Daniel Whittle Harvey, Esq., be appointed President of the
Society, and that the thanks; of the country are due to him for hav-
ing originated this important undertaking.

That the thanks of this meeting be given to William Collins. Esq.,
M.P., for his attendance, and for the able manner in which he has
presided. MARCUS TRAVERS, Secretary pro tem..

COLUMBIA.

Congress possess the power of exclusive legislation
over the district of Columbia ; and I commend the inte-
rests ofits inhabitants to your favourable consideration.
The people of this district have no legislative body of
their own, and must confine their local, as well as their
general, interests to the representatives in whose election
they have no voice, and over whose official conduct they
have no control. Each Member of the National Legis-
lature should consider himself as their immediate repre-
sentative, and should be the more ready to give atten-
tion to their interests and wants, because he is not re-
sponsible to them. I recommend that a liberal and ge-
nerous spirit may characterise your measures in relation
tion to them. I shall be ever disposed to show a proper
regard for their wishes, and, within constitutional limits,
shall at all times cheerfully co-operate with you for the
advancement of their welfare.
THE LATE GENERAL JACKSON.

I trust it may not be deemed inappropriate to the oc-
casion for me to dwell fur a moment on the memory of the
most eminent citizen of our country, who, during the sum-
mer that is gone by, has descended to the tomb. The
enjoyment of contemplating, at the advanced age of near
four score years, the happy condition of his country,
cheered the last hours of Andrew Jackson, who de-
parted this life in the tranquil hope of a blessed immor-
tality. His death was happy, as his life had been
eminently useful. Ile had an unfaltering confidence in
the virtue and capacity of the people, and in the perma-
nence of that free government which he had largely
contributed to establish and defend. His great deeds
had secured to him the affections of his fellow-citizens,
and it was his happiness to witness the growth and glory
of his country, which he loved so well. He departed
amidst the benedictions of millions of freemen. The
nation paid its tribute to his memory at the tomb.
Coming generations will learn from his example the love
of country and the rights of man. In his language on a
similar occasion to the present, " I now commend you,
fellow-citizens, to the guidance of Almighty God, with a
full reliance on his merciful Providence for the mainte-
nanz.ie of our free institutions ; and with an earnest sup-
plication, that whatever errors it may be my lot to
commit in discharging the arduous duties which have
devolved on me, will find a remedy in the harmony of
our counsels." JAMES K. POLK.
Washington, Dec. 2, 1845.

Two very important votes were taken in the House Lf
Representatives, on Monday, and by very decisive ma-
jorities. The first against rescinding the one hour rule,
the other against rescinding the 21st rule, which, it will
be remembered, prohibited the reception of any petition
or other papers requesting the abolition of slavery in the
slave states or in the territories of the United States.
The Treasury notes outstanding, December 1, 1845,
amounted to 592,864 dollars.

ritis being St. Thomas's Day, cacti ward in the city of
London held, according to annual custom, a wardmote in
their respective parishes.
FARRINGDON WITHIN.
The wardn-.ote for this parish was held in the hall of
Christ's Hospital. Mr. Alderman Kelly presided.
The Lord Mayor's precept having been read,
Mr. STEEL, in a long speech, made his annual charges
against the Corporation of the City;
,which, having been
replied to at an equal length by other gentlemen, the con-
versation ended, and the real business of the day was pro-
ceeded with. W. 11. Ashurst, Valentine Rutter, Henry Blake,
Henry Pritchard, Samuel Ridley, Thomas Bonsor, George
Virtue, Edward Edgington, John Wilton, R. Westwood,
Thos. Jefferson Holt, James Harvey, and David James
M'Lachlain, Esq., the former metnbers, were again re-elected
with but a shadow of opposition from Mr., Russell,
who declaimed against these gentlemen, who were in
favour of an abolition of duties on all imports, and from Mr.
Steel, who requested to know to wham the presentation of a
bey to Christ's Hospital, which was in the gift of Mr.
Hilton, had been made. The answer was most satisfactory,
Mr. Hilton having placed the gift in the hands of the
Common ;Council, thus avowing all imputation of unhappily
ashy, his patronage.
The Ward Inquest was then elected, and the Wardmote,
after thanks had been given to the Chairman, and returned,
broke up.

MEXICO.

The arrival of the Sea gives us some additions made
to the New Mexican Tariff :

Art. 1. All vessels, of whatsoever nature, that shall be
on terms of friendship with the Mexican nation, notwith-
standing no special treaty of commerce shall have been ra-
tified between them, shall be admitted to all those ports
open for foreign commerce. Their captain or
supercargo, as well as the munimeut and cargo of
said vessel, shall be held subject to the prescribed
laws for the collection of duties, and to all penal-
ties existing at the time of their arrival, from the
very moment of their anchorage in the waters of the port
Art. 2. Vessels coming from foreign ports, being
other than national vessels, cannot be admitted at any
other port save that to which they may be consigned.
If they do so (save under the 72d article of this enact-
ment) the vessel as well as her cargo shall be considered
forfeited. All surplusages of cargo over that manifested
will be liable to the penalty of the 84th article, being
considered in the light of contraband.
Art. 3. The following are the ports which are open to
the entrance of foreign vessels :—Gulf of Mexico, Sisal,
Campeche, Tobasco, Vera Cruz, Tampico, Matamoros
(Matagorda, Ve!asco, and Galveston, when they shall
have returned to the obedient control of the supreme
Government. On the Pacific Ocean.—Acapulco, San
Blas, and Mazatlan). In the Gulf of California—
Guayama and Monterey.
Art. 4. In case that any of the above-mentioned ports
shall be occupied by forces not in obedience to the su-
preme Government of Mexico, it shall remain shut, not
only to foreign commerce, but also to coasting vessels,
under the terms provided by decree of February 22,
1832.
