The Committee of Management have now completed the allot-
ment of Shares in this undertaking, and the allotment letters will be
posted this evening. From the immense number of applications
made by persons residing at Manchester. Chester. and places on the
line having a local interest, the Committee have been under the ne-
cessity of passing over the applications of a great number *of per-
sons of known respectability. From the same cause the shares
allotted in London and other places to persons not locally interested
has been materially abridged below the number originally intended to
be appropriated in those quarters. The Committee have, therefore,
to request that all persons not receiving letters of allotment will
accept this statement as a sufficient explanation of the reason Why
an allotment has not been made in their favour.

The last day for the payment of the deposit has been fixed to the
15th instant.

ELY and BURY ST. EDMUNDS RAILWAY.
A Company is in the course of formation for the construction
of a RAILWAY from the City of ELY to the Town of BURY ST.
EDMUNDS.

The Line will commence "by a Junction at Ely with the Eastern
ounties, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Huntingdon Railways, and
willterminate at Bury by a Junction with the Ipswich: and Bury
Railway.
Its object is to preserve the mercantile connexion which has for
generations subsisted between the county of Suffolk, the town of
Bury, and the Port of Lynn, and to afford to Ipswich, Colchester,
and Bury, and all that portion of the kingdom, a direct communica-
tion with the manufacturing districts.
The distance from Bury, and consequently from all places eastward of
that town to Peterborough—the point at which so many Lines pass-
ing from the south and east to the north and north-west converge—
will, by the Ely and Bury Line, be ten miles shorter than the route
to that City by way of Cambridge.

A detailed Prospectus will be issued immediately.

WILLIAM SOLLY, Sect*my,

The object of this undertaking is to supply the northern part of
Norfolk with that railway accommodation of which it is at present
wholly destitute. It embraces all the towns in this extensive dis-
trict, and affords direct communication between them and the City
of Norwich, which Is the great mart for the agricultural produce of
the county.

By the junction of this line with the Norfolk Railway, and with the
lines to Yarmouth and Lynn, this Important locality will obtain
the shortest and most economical route to all parts of England.
This undertaking will prove of incalculable advantage to the agri-
culturists, to the owners of the large and important mills on the
River Bure, and to the maltsters and traders of the district, in tha
transmission of their commodities, and by placing them within easy
communication of the ports an.' places from which coals and goods of
every kind consumed in the district, are obtained.
The distinction which Cromer has deservedly obtained, as a most
delightful watering•place, will now be considerably enhanced by the
direct communication thus established between it and all parts of the
kingdom.

The unanimous and most cordial support of the merchants and
trader, of Norwich is given to this project, as carrying out the prin-
ciple of direct communication for which they have so earnestly
contended.

This line will be made with the co-operation and support of the
litorfolls itallway Company (the amalgamated Norwich and Yar-
mouth, and Norwich and Brandon Companies) ; and powers will be
taken to ratify agreements made with the Directors of that Compaay
for leasing it at 4. per cent. per annum on the outlay, and an equal
division of the surplus profits.

Competent engineers have already surveyed the line, and have re-
ported most favourably on the project, which is free from engineering
difficulty.

The greatest care has been taken to select the line which is best fbr
the public interest. and at the same time to avoid interference with
any ornamental property.

Application forehires, which, on account of their limited number,
can only be attended to from applicants of first-rate respectability,
may be made to the Provisional Committee, at No. 3, Cleveland-
row, St. James's, London, in the following form; or to the Solid-
tors in London or Norwich, or of Messrs. Morgan and Co., Share-
brokers, Norwich.

PROSPECTUS.

The Bill for making a Railway from Plymouth to Falmouth, and
the West Cornwall Railway Bill, having been both rejected by Par-
liament, and the projected south Devon Railway from Exeter to
Plymouth punning only a winding and precarious course along the
margin of the sOuthern Channel, the great area of Devonshire west
of Eleter, and the whole of the county of Cornwall, are now desti-
tute of railway accommodation.
The abject of the present undertaking is to provide an efficient sys-
t'an of railway comniunication for the whole of this Western Peniu-
sala I and as the waste of capital and time, involved in the circuitous
forte by Bristol, is greatly co eplained of, the leading and indispens-
able feature of the project will be to obtain the most direct, punctual,
and economical line between London, Falmouth, and Penzance. As
far as Exeter, that project is already in the hands of the " London
and South-Western," the " London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction,"
and the "Yeovil, Dorchester, and Exeter" Companies. It was the
Central Line, westward, which the Committee of the House ef Lords,
in the Wilts and Somerset Railway Bill, in the late session, obliged
the Great Western Railway Company to pledge themselves not to
oppose ; and which they speak of in their report " as the line which
the best Interests of the country require, and which must eventually
be carried direct to Falmouth, the most westerly port. is the
Channel."
Under these auspices, and with this strong expression from the
Legislature, it may be considered that a continuous line of railway,
from London, through Salisbury, to Yeovil and Exeter, no less than
thirty miles shorter than the devious course of the Great Western
Railway, is already morally secured. In order, therefore, to com-
plete this great national project thus suggested by the House of
Lords, it remains only to extend this direct Exeter line, without
change of gauge or terminus, direct to Falmouth and Penzance.
The saving In actual distance thus effected, between London and
Falmouth, as compared with the Great Western and its extensions,

amounts to more than fifty miles; whilst the time also saved by
avoiding the passage of the Hamoaze, to say nothing of all other
difficulties involved in that project,' was estimated, in the recent in-
quiry before Parliament, as equal to a saving of fifteen or twenty
miles more.
Bearing in mind, therefore, the geographical position of Falmouth
and Penzance, especially the great advantages of the former, as the
most Westernly station for our naval and packet service, and as af-
fording a most secure harbour of refuge in the event of war; and re-
membering, too, that this must eventually become the highway to
the Mediterranean, the East and West Indies, and America, the im-
portance to the Admiralty and Lloyd's, of such a direct railway, with
a continuous and efficient electric telegraph, can hardly be over-rated.

The central district from Exeter, westward, has been recently re-
surveyed, and has been found to afford a main trunk line, with good
locomotive gradients, attainable without engineering difficulties, and
at a reasonable expense ; the general course being sear or through
Crcditon, Bow, Hatherleigh, North Tawton, Okehampton, Launces-
ton, Camelford, Bodmin, St. Columb, S. Austell, (by means of a
branch,) Truro, and Penryn, to Falmouth ;—at Truro, an extension
line through West Cornwall will diverge to Chacewater, Redruth,
Cainb° rue'
Hayle, (with a branch to St. Ives,) Maraxton, and Pen-
zance.
This extension runs for more than 30 miles through the most popu-
lous and flourishing part of Cornwall; and the Tables of the recently
rejectly West Cornwall Bill showed an existing traffic, through that
district, of 101. per cent. after deducting working expenses. But as
the constructing and working this line by a separate company would
be productive of unnecessary expense and inconvenience to the public,
the line to Penzance, as well as to Falmouth, will form an integral
portion of the main work under one and the same management.

From Trtro, eastward, the main line will pass several important
nines and near Bodmin will throw out a branch through the China
slay district to St. Austell, and its populous mining neighbourhood.
It will also avail itself of the railways now in process of construction
from Newquay on the north, and Par on the southern Channel ;
whilst a connexion with the already constructed railway from Bod-
min to Wadebridge, will open, through the port of Padstow, the best
communication between Cork, the south of Irelggitd, and London.
Advancing farther, an opportunity will occur of elPilblishing a traffic
with the well-known Delabole Slate Quarries on the one hand, and the
flourishing Caradon Mines on the other ; whilst the sand supplied by
the Bude Canal, and the lime which abounds in the neighbourhood
of Launceston, will form the subject of most considerable transport
into the highly improvable agricultural districts westward and east-
ward.

Passing onward into Devonshire, a branch will be thrown out from
the main line to the port of Bideford, thus opening, for the mineral
produce of Wales, a market in Central Devon and Cornwall, which
are destitute of coal ; and another branch will diverge southward by
Tavistock to Plymouth, thus affording the most direct communica-
tion between those towns and Exeter. This branch being also
accessible from Launceston will open for the north and West of Corn-
wall, and for Falmouth, a line to Plymouth, in point of time, shorter
than the lately projected line across the Hamoaze from Plymouth to
Falmouth. Should the traffic, nevertheless, be found to justify an-
other branch from a point near Bodmin, through Liskeard, to Ply-
mouth, such a branch may and will be constructed.
Arriving within fourteen miles of Exeter, the main line will be
joined from the north by a direct line from Ilfracombe and Barn-
staple to Exeter, and about seven miles further on by the Dartmouth,
Brixham, Torbay, and Exeter line, an amalgamation of which two
lines is now under consideration, thus affording to these two friendly
companies a direct communication from north to south, from the
Bristol to the English Channel, and carrying their traffic on one com-
mon trunk, on to one common terminus, with the Yeovil line at
Exeter.

The inspection of a map will better show the importance of this
comprehensive scheme, which overspreads the surface of Devon and
Cornwall, and leaves little to be desired to give full value and effect
to objects of such importance.
The supply and demand created by this large area,—its population,
amount, g to mr.re than 600,000,—its Ports, situate on both Chan-
nels,—its Fisheries, Mining, Commercial, and Agricultural advan-
tages,—its exports of Corn, Wool, and Cattle,—its probable con-
sumption of Coal, Manure, and general supplies,—were t fully
gone into in the recent inquiry before the House of Lords, and forcibly
en-di t
goeustt anysy suche
of
u
require increased facilities, and diminished cost of transport. The
ed
m
general evidence, also, given in that House, showed a good traffic,remune-
rbttlev.epeecxtiLtintrgomaw without increaseranch u
es : mayan d reasonablywhen the
further increase in passenger and general traffic, east and west, Is
taken into consideration, which must necessarily arise from bringing
Falmouth, its harbour and foreign relations, and Penzance, with its
much-sought climate and early markets, so much nearer to the Me-
tropolis, and the northern and eastern parts of England than can
possibly be accomplished by any other devisable railway communi-
cation ; and when it is also borne in mind, that from the Peninsular
form of the county of Cornwall, this line, when established, can have
no competitor, it is not too much to assert that this project offers a
very eligible opportunity for the investment of capital.
The strong feeling in favour of a central line, evinced by public
meetings and petitions from every part of the county of Cornwall
and West Devon ; the support of Noblemen, Magistrates, Merchants,
Mine-owners, and Agriculturists, In the recent struggle: the numerous
and strong assurances of support already received from the landowners
and general interests along the line ; and the hearty concurrence
and co-operation of the Associated Companies, the names of whose
members appear in the Provisional Committee, leave ne doubt
of the successful issue of the application which will be made to Par-
liament in the next session.
The Act to be applied for will contain the usual clauses for limiting
the liabilities of Shareholders to the amount of their subscriptions,
and for allowing interest at 41. per Cent. per annum, on all Calla,
from the time of payment until the opening of the line.
The Provisional Committee reserve ;to themselves the power of
making anon attentions in the Main Line, or Branches, awl also Of

entering into such arrangements for the construction of those

Blackburn, Cborley, and Liverpool Railway, will have a decided ad-
vantage over all other existing hues from Leeds to Liverpool. as it is
intended to carry it down, or near to, the docks at Liverpool, and
when completed will form the nearest and only direct route from the
docks on the Humber at Hall, to those on the Mersey at Liverpool,
being a communication so long wanted and suggested by many lead-
lug and influential merchants at the two important ports of Liver-
pool and Hull.

By this line a very considerable saving of distance between Hull,
Leeds, Liverpool, and the important and densely-populatad manu-
facturing districts, and the extensive and best coal fields of the two
counties of York and Lancaster will be effected.
This project has been in contemplation for a considerable period,
the promoters of which did not intend to bring it before the public
until the surveys werefully completed, but in consequence of a pre-
liminary notice having been issued by some other parties, and this
purporting to go over nearly the same ground, the projectors of this
scheme think the time has now arrived for making their intentions
public.
A Prospectus, with an extensive and influential Provisional Com-
mittee, will shortly appear, and in the mean time applications for
Shares, in the annexed form, may be made to the Solicitors, or to the
following Brokers : —Mr. J. W. Hamilton, 3, South Gallery, Auction

FOURTH THOUSAND OF
REIDN NEW SCHOOL DICTIONARY,
Just published, in large 12mo, price 6s. 6d., handsomely and strongly
bound,

itDICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH
LANGUAGE, containing the Pronunciation, Etymology,
and explanation of au Words authorised by eminent Writers ; to
which are added, a Vocabulary of the Roots of English Words, and
an Accented List of Greet, Latin, and Scripture Proper Nantes.
By ALEXANDER REID, A.M., Rector of the Circus-place School,
_ _

Edinburgh, Author of " Rudiments of English Composition," &c.
In this work, to which the author has devoted the labour of several
Years, an attempt has been made to compile a school dictionary
adapted to the present state of the English language, and to the im-
proved methods of teaching. It contains every word which has been
sanctioned by the use of eminent authors, except such as have be-
come obsolete, or are merely technical. While the usual alphabetical
arrangement Is preserved, the words are at the same title grouped in
such a manner as to show their etymological afliaity ; and after the
first word of each group, is given the root from which they are de-
rived. These roots are afterwards arranged into a vocabulary ; so
that the dictionary may be used either for reference, sr for teaching
derivation. The pronunciation, which is indicated by a simple no-
tation, is that of Walker, unless when the latter differs from prevail-
ing usag or from the majority of competent authorities. The classi-
cal and scripture proper names are printed in one list, and are di-
vided into syllables, will accented as they ought to be pronounced.

" It is one of the most valuable. contributions to the school-room,
and to the library also, which we have yet seen."—Critic.
Oliver and Boyd, Edinburgh ; Simpkin, Marshal, and Co., London.
Specimen pages will be sent by post free, upon application to

statements, inertdible in as opul, nt and Christian coun-
try like this, ar.d in the nineteenth century, the Poor-law
Commission, at Somerset House, have deputed a Mr.
PARKER, one of their Assistant-Commissioners, strictly
to inquire. Rigidly observing our purpose not to com-
ment on the evidence adduced at this inquiry until it
shall have been completed, we will merely add to these
facts, that in the course of the examinations taken before
the Assistant-Commissioner the most serious charges
were made against one M'DoUOALL, the master of the
union-house by some female paupers. Among other
things he has been accused of soliciting their chastity on
various occasions, and attempting to accomplish
his object by the coarsest arts of intimida-
tion. We pass over, for the present, the imputations
on both the master and the mistress of the union-house,
of ungovernable violence of temper—of their connivance
at a general condition of immorality, degradation, -and
personal abandonment to the last degree disgraceful and
inexcusable—of the harshness and inhumanity exhibited
towards some of the most helpless and feeble of the in-
mates. Our present business is with the conduct of the
Assistant-Commissioner at the examination of the wit-
nesses who deposed to these matters. It manifested a
strange ignorance of the principles and law of evidence;
as well as a want of that decorum, impartiality, and pa-
tience with which only evidence ought to be received in
such a court. The Assistant-Commissioner asked—and
permitted to be asked—questions, fromwhich, we think,
a rightly-constituted mind would have recoiled, in taking
the evidence of a female complainant ; and though he
received from such a party a rebuke, we fear that
he remains still uninformed or unconscious of
the illeydity of putting questions to witnesses calcu-
lated to (licit answers that must criminate them. We
are well satisfied that the Andover Union case must
now receive, however, a thorough sifting ; and that, ulti-
mately, a far higher tribunal than the Poor-law Com-
missioners (namely, that of public opinion) will pro-
nounce its judgment on the facts, whatever these shall
turn out to be. Our only desire, in the meanwhile, is,
to indicate in what mariner the misconduct of the As-
sistant-Commissioner, if not checked by the proper
authority, may interfere with the elimination of facte,
and the course of justice.

The Madrid journals of the 2d inst. contain no news.
Some transactions had at last taken place on the Bourse,
and the Funds were firm. The Three per Cents. were
quoted at 32i at 60 days ; 7,000,000 reels done. None
of the other stocks were quoted.

The Paris papers announce that the visit of the Queen
of ENGLAND to the Royal Family at the Chateau d'Eu
was known in the capital on Saturday, and that great
numbers had left. for T. eport. " All the English," says
the Constitutionnel," who have any title to be admitted
into the presence of their Sovei eign are hastening from
Paris to the royal residence. The departures for Eu yes-
tvrday (Sunday) were numerous. The precise time of
her arrival at Ti eport with her flotilla is not known, but
she is to take her departure on Wednesday for the Isle
of Wight."

Another journal says—" The performers of the
Opera Comique are gone by royal order to Eu, where
they are to perform before the KING and Royal Family,
the .Nouveau Seigneur, Richard Coeur de Lion,
Jean de Paris, Marie, and Le Deserteur ; conse-
quently the theatre will be closed from this evening till
Monday next."
These papers also announce• the arrival of the
Duke and Duchess DE NEMOURS, and the Duke
D'AUMALE 14 Tolosa on the 4th instant, where
they were received with great enthusiasm, the
people shouting " Long live the 'French Princes,"
Long live Louis PHILIPPE." The adjudication of the
leases for the Great Northern Railway took place on
Tuesday, when Messrs. ROTHSCHILD, HOTTINGUER,
LAEErrrE, and Co., were declared lessees of the line
from Paris to the Belgian frontier, with branches from
Lisle to Calais and Dunkirk. The period, originally
fixed at 41 years, had been reduced to 38 years. Mr.
O'NEILL was declared lessee of the branch line to Fam-
poux and Hazebruck, the lease also to be for 38 years.
The France thus adverts to the report of the retirement
of Marshal SOULT

" A journal announces that the Marquis de Mornay had
repaired to Soultbeig, on a pressing invitation of the Minister
of War. The old Marshal, it appears, is again talking of
resigning the War Department. This intelligence, which
reached Paris at the moment when M. Guizot was leaving
for Eu, to be present at the visit of the Queen of England,
filled him with joy. M. Guizot, the soul of the Cabinet, is
desirous to become its nominal chief ; be covets the title of
President of the Council. But we have been assured that lie
would experience obstacles totally unexpected. The idea of
replacing the Duke de Broglie at the head of affairs has been
of late entertained in a quarter where Ministers are consi-
dered as mere instruments, and the retirement of the Mar-
shal would greatly facilitate its realisation. Nevertheless we
can hardly believe that Marshal Soult would adopt such a
resolution in presence of the pretensions of M. Bugeaud, who
would not certainly resign his title of Governor of Algeria,
unless lie was assured of obtaining the direction of the War
Department. Now, the old Marshal will never consent to be
succeeded by a man who made it a point to disobey his
orders, and peremptorily refused to execute the instructions
of his superior."

PRICE OF Gosn.—The premium on gold at Paris
is l 3 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 3/ 17s.
100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25 49; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being
25 60, it follows that gold is 0.43 per cent. dearer in London
than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of
gold is 4341 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange
of 13 94 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at
short being 13 11i, it follows that gold is 0.80 per cent.
dearer in London than in Hamburgh.
THE MASTER. PASSION. BY THOMAS COLLEY
GRATTAN, ESQ.—" The Master •Passion," by the author of
" Highway, and Byeways," cannot fail of being ranked among
the most effective fictions of our age. Ihe interest of this
st.,ry is of a singularly engrossing nature, making it almost int-
po-.sible for the reader to lay down the work till he has come to
its conclusion. It is a ma.terpiece of imaginative literature--
a picture of human life, under the influence of human passions,
such as must greatly increase Mr. Grattan's reputation with his
numerous admirers, and excite a demand for these volumes,
equal at least to that which attended the publication of the
and Byways" by tb, RUIN poplar uthor.
