and Mr. Ward, superintendent of the night police, in reference to
the allegation that they had paid to various witnesses (chiefly police_
constables) in assize cases less sums than the regular allowance,
pocketing the difference, the Committee found so much of the
charge substantiated as to come to the determination at once to
discharge both officers. They were accordingly discharged on
Friday evening last ; and we understand that Inspector Green, of
the Manchester detective force, is one of the candidates for the
new vacant office of deputy constable of Salford.—Manchtstcr

A DVERTISEMEN T]. —A WONDERFUL PRESERVA-
TION OF LIFE BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND FILLS.—
Hugh 111‘Donald, Lot 55, in King's County, Prince Edward
Island, made a public declaration before Joseph Coffin, Esq.,
Justice of Peace at Bay Fortune, September 3d, 1845, to the
effect that the greater part of his nose and roof of his mouth
were eaten away, besides ulcerous sores in his face and legs,
which, from their:nature, must shortly have deprived him of
life, and that he has been restored from the pitiable and miser-
able state he was in by the use of Holloway's Pills and Oint-
ment, and this after all other medical treatment had failed.—

This railway will commence at Sheerness in conjunction with a
short steam-ferry communication from a point at or near to South-
end, on the opposite Essex coast, and will proceed from Sheerness
by Queenborough to Faversham, where it will form a junction with
one of the proposed lines from London by that town to Canterbury
and Dover.
The integral line will be continued from Faversham to or near to
Herne Bay,; and from thence to the South-Eastern Extension
Railway (now being made), at a point near Sarr, and will then pro-
ceed on that line direct to Ramsgate eastwards, and direct to Deal
south-eastwards. From a point between Herne Bay and Sarr the
line will also be carried by a short extens'on to Margate.
By this project Margate will be placed within 75 miles of the me-
tropolis, instead of more than 100, as at present, and that, too, by a
direct line through Faversham, at which place it will meet the Lon-
don lines.
The important town of Ramsgate, now so extensively connected
with continental communication, will also be thus afforded a much
nearer overland route to London ; and Deal, Ramsgate, Margate,
Herne Bay, Sheerness, Chatham, Rochester, Gravesend, Woolwich,
Greenwich, and London, will all be placed in immediate or easy con-
nexion upon one continuous line of railway.
By means also of this undertaking, in conjunction with the exist-
ing and projected railways proceeding to the south coast of Essex,
the wigile of the passengers and traffic from Liverpool, Manchester,
Leeds, Hull, York, and the Northern, the Midland, and the
Eastern Counties, will be conveyed to Dover and the Conti-
nent via Sheerness, in preference to a lengthened and cir-
cuitous route through the metropolis, whereby the journey will be
shortened more than 50 miles, travelling expenses will be curtailed,
and the serious Inconvenience and delay of transhipment and con-
veyance from one part of London to another wholly avoided.
A glance at the map also will show the immense advantage which
the metropolis itself will enjoy by its being thus afforded other routes
to the coast of Kent. The millions who annually seek pleasure in
excursions to Gravesend, Sheerness, Southend, Herne Bay, Margate,
Ramsgate, Deal, and Dover, will have a choice of different routes.
They may proceed by railway, on the Essex aide of the Thames, to
the Thames Haven, Tilbury Fort, or Southend—Pass over to Sheer-
ness by water, and thence proceed direct by this railway—or they
may reach Sheerness wholly by water, and then avoid the sea—or,
may pass at once from London, on the Surrey side of the Thames,
to Sheerness, Herne Bay, Margate, and Ramsgate, by railway in a
direct line, consuming only about two hours in the journey, and may
vary their pleasure by going in one direction and returning by
another.
Independently of the vast multitudes who will thus seek health
and recreation, the importance, as a national object, of connecting all
the above-mentioned towns, and giving a direct line from Sheerness to
Dover, together with the immense existing traffic in the direction of
the undertaking, and the great increase which the improved and
enlarged modes of communication throughout Kent will occasion,
must be too apparent to need further observation; and the Commit-
tee, from careful inquiry, feel confidence in stating that no scheme of
railway has yet been offered to public attention combining greater
public and private advantages.
About thirty-six miles of new railway only will embrace all the
above important objects—viz., from Sheerness to Faversham

The extension to Margate • . •

The country has already been preliminary surveyed, and found to
be exceedingly favourable. Indeed, it is almost a dead flat from
Faversham to Margate.
The landed proprietors are not only *willing but desirous that the
undertaking should be accomplished, and it is at the request of many
of them that the promoters have determined on prosecuting it.
The Committee reserve the power of making branches to Canter-
bury and, to Deal, if circumstances should hereafter render it ad-
visable.
The liability of the shareholders will be restricted to the amount
of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for in the Bill to
allow interest, at 4 per cent. per annum on all calls, from the passing
of the Act until the opening of the line.
Applications for prospectuses, maps, and shares, may be made to
