WATERLOO BARRACKS . nQ THB TOWER.—
Elms the first stone of these barracks was laid by tie Duke of
Wallington, in June last, the works have been proceeded with vigo-
rously, and the building is now-nearly one story high throughout.
The struetire was originally Proposed to accommodate eight hundred
and twenty-six men.- but recent alterations have fitted it to receive
neatly one thou/land. The length in front is 288 feet, and at the back
274 Yeet 8 inches. The width of the main building is 65 feet, but at
Vie flank;:`,, extends to 82 feet. The size of the principal rooms is
28 feet by 24. The Boors are to be formed with iron girders and
brick arches, so as to render the building fire-proof. The style of
tho.'otailding is castellated Gothic of the fifteenth Century; the walls
are faced with Kentish rag, and the dressings of the windows, doors,
sc.; are of Allston stone. Major Hall, as chief of the engineering
department, is the director of the works; Mr. W. Harrison the con-
tractor for masonry, brickwork, &e.; and Mr. John Harrison for the
carpenter's work. The total cost is estimated at nearly 50,000/.
Many other works are contemplated in the Tower, involving a very
large expenditure. We should be rejoieed to hear that they ineluded
the restoration of the keep known as the White Tower, which is at
present a disgraceibl monument of Ignorance and want of taste.—

We regret to learn that Mr. John Ratnsbottom,

some severe internal injury. The answer to inquiries at the Hon.
Gentleman's residence on Monday was,,that he was sinking fast, and
that no hopes were entertained of his recovery.—Post.
.-THit NASSAU BALLoola:--Mr. Green made another

afternoon. Amongst the leading personages present we observed
Lis Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, trld' -Marquis of
Worcester, the Earl of Pembroke, the Earl of Munster, &c. Large
numbers were attracted to the gardens by the announe.ernent that
several persons on horseback would ride a steeple chase in whatever
direction the balloon might proceed. Fearing that the public safety
might be endangered by such a course, the magistrates of the dis-
trict remonstrated against it, and the proprietors of the gardens ac-
eedocito their wishes. Mr. Green effected a safe descent at twenty
minutes past six o'clock, at Hinton's-field, Plumpstead-marsh.
Tits Rtvaa PLATE.—Letters from Monte Video,
of the 2d of July> confirm the last accounts from Buenos Ayres as to

Rotaa dng to yield one iota of his belligerent rights, including
that ofUlockading Monte Video, and making the acknowledgment of
thole by France and England the Condition of his treating at all with
then. The negotiations were, therefore, suspended. At Monte
-Video they were anxiously hoping that the English and French
fortes would commence acting. Accounts had been received from
Pararuay to tho 14th of May. A manifesto of grievances since 1811
bad been pu>ilshed, and all the people over 15 years old had been
calrts Pin' to defend their rights against Rosas.—Liverpool
' UA.TTLE SHOW AT BALLINASLOE.—At a meeting of
the.eouncil of the Royal Agricultural Society of Iretand, held on
TRiarsday last, the secretary was directed, by a resolution agreed
upon, to write a circular to every local branch of the society he Ire-
land, and require all the information that can be collected in each
district, with as much accuracy as possible is to the condition of the
potato Crop, and the extent and progress of the prevailing disease in
thAtaiScUlent, with the view to a general and authentic report upon
this important subject: With respect to the approaching sho* at
nalllnasioe, the secretary stated-that the entries of cattle amounted
to upwards of 600, far exceeding any termer year, there' being 250
sheep alone entered, the finest. supply ever seen at any show in the
United Kingdom. All the arrangements at liallinasioe were nearly
complete, and care had been taken to secure the most experienced
and able judges in England and Scotland, as well-as Ireland.

D IRECT LONDON, GLASGOW, AND
EDINBURGH RAILWAY,
VIA I,EICES ['ER AND SHEFFIELD DIRECT.
(Proylatonally Registered, pursuant to 7 and 8 Victoria,-cap. 110.)
, .-:•- Capital, 1,200,0001., in 60,000 shares of 201. each.
. Deposit, 21. 2s. per Share.
The, object of this Company is to establish the most direct co-
areenica rn
tion between Sheffield and the West Riding of Yorkshire and
DindOn, and also between London and the important cities of Glas-
gow-aset Edinburgh.
Of the numerous projects to which attention has been directed, none
win bear a stricter investigation than the one now submitted to the
gokeip of the public ; for, whilst it is proposed to secure the best and
shortest route to the metropolis, from its proposed connexion 'with
other existing or projected lines north and south of Sheffield, that
object will be attained at comparatively little cost. .
The main line of this important undertaking will commence by. a
junction with the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, at or near
Beighton, being a distance of about seven miles in a south-easterly
tilrection _from Sheffield, and will ' proceed thence in a
straight and direct . southern course to Leicester. passing about
seven Trilles eastward of Chesterfield, and about five miles to the
west of Nottingham. But the Cr:ll:many will take power& to com-
gaence,itel line' at the terulifdls of the Sheffield and Manchester
Otatibn; at Sheffield, in case the Sheffield and Lincolnshire line shoUld
not meet with the same satisfactory reception in the House of Lords
during the ensuing session as that important project has met with
in th, HOW, of Commons during the last tesaion. At Leicester, the
proposed line will form ajunstion with the South MI !land and the
Leicester and Bedford projected 111161, or one of them, theeeby effect-
ing the shortest practicable route' that can possibly be made .from
Sheffield to the Metropolis, reducing the distance between those
places nearly thirty miles, and between London and Glasgow about
seventy-five miles, and at the same time avoiding the delays at Mae-
bre.' and Derby, so generally cemplained of, and which frequently
oscapy upwards of an hour.
On inspecting the Orctrianoe or other correct maps of the country, it
will also Appear beyond doubt, that this line, in connexion with other
lines in existence and projected, will form the most direct communi-
eatios,between Glasgow and Edinburgh, as well as all the important
toWris and districts of the North, and London. North of Sheffield, In
one direction, this line, In connexion with the Sheffield and Rudders-
leid—Huddersfleld, Halifax, and Keighlcy—North Western—Lan-
eastetand Carlisle—and Caledonian lines, will form one grand trunk
line, la a direct course from Glasgow and Edinburgh to London ;
while in another direction, by the proposed Sheffield, Wortley, Silk-
stone, and Wakefield, or Sheffield, Barnsley, and Wakefield lines,
?rem Sheffield to Wakefield, Ind by the Wakefield, Leeds, and Har-
rogate line, direct to Leeds, it will place the above important towns,
• as well as the whole manufacturing and mining districts of the West
Riding of Yorkshire, Durham, and Northumberland, on the main
Mink between London and the North.
If fat a direct communication between the above important districts
and London, as well as between Scotland and London, is greatly
needed, is placed beyond all doubt, not only from an inspection of
the maps of the country, but from the often repeated expression of
public opinion 011 this subject. The vast and increasing population of
the above districts, the immense and daily increasing traffic between
those districts and London, and the growing desire for direct com-
munication between all important parts of the country, render such
a line as Is now projected absolutely essential. That this is the case,
May be gathered from the speeches of Sir Robert Peel in the House
Of Commons during the last session ; Lord Wharncliffe, at the recent
annual festival of the Corporation of Cutlers, at Sheffield ; and other
members of the Government, all of whom concur in asserting that a
more direct communication between London and the North, than at
present exist.", is now become absolutely necessary to supply the
Wants of the country.
This railway may, therefore, justly be regarded as a great na-
Wonal undertaking, and not one merely affecting local interests, al-
though its advantages to Sheffield, and the great and important ma-
nufaeturing districts of West Yorkshire, cannot be too highly
letitiated.
In a great undertaking like the present, connecting nearly the
whole of thernanufaeturing districts of Yorkshire and the North with
Dendoil, by means of the numerous ramifications branching from its
northern terminus, and collecting them all at that point, and carrying
%heir traffic forward to the South, it is almost impossible to form a
correct estimate of the immense traffic which must necessarily be

to more than 10 set returns are calculated to amount
Per cent. per annum oa the required capital, without
taking into account various future sources of income which' the rail-
There Way will necessarily create.
is also reason to believe that this will be the route adopted by
bee Majesty's Government for the conveyance of the mails between
•
London and Scotland.
The cost of the line will be materially reduced in ease the Sheffield
and Lincolnshire line should ultimately pass the House of Lords (of
which there can be but little reasonable doubt), by tehe circumstance
~f tbe proposed line traver sing that line for a distance and of thereby avoiding the usual large outlay neeeasarliysejevonlvmedilesin,

metes and lithographic plan of the lies (which are
now in course of
• preparation), will shortly be issued.
4. certain proportion of shares will be reserved for shareholders In
Was Sheffield and Lincolnshire, and such lines north and south of this
Sae as have already promised their support.
Meanwhile applications for shares may be made, in the subjoined
germ, to Mr. John Ryalls, Mr. A. Clark Branson, and Mr. Samuel
'night, joint solicitors, Sheffield ; or to Mr. William Moss, 11, fsex.
