risk, and by indefatigable perseverance and exertion, first led the
way to placing upon its present footing the system of rapid communi-
cation between Great Britain and India.
2. That in order to mark the senss so universally entertained of

DERBY, UTTOXETER, AND STAFFORD

It may be assumed that a national reward is always be,towed, in
one shape or other, upon those generous spirits who devote success-
fully the energies of their lives to objects of great public utility.
But, untOrtanately, it too often happens that the public gratitude
is not sufficiently aroused till-the grave has closed over the 'public
benefactor.
The services of Lieutenant Waghorn are of a nature which leave
no excuse for traosterring to posterity the duty of rewarding them.
The daily increasing importance of th., relations of England •.vith
India renders the overland route between the mother country and
her magnifLent dependency, of which he was pioneer and the princi-
pal agent, one of the most remarkable improvements of the time. In
fact, not only England, but Europe, and even Vnerica, participate in
the advantages which Mr. Waghorn's services have secured, and
therefore owe am acknowledgement to the individual who fl•st stepped
forth in the mariner of a forlorn hope to open a path which all may
now safely tread.
It was at first proposed to establish steam communication between
England and India by way of th, Cape of Good Hope ; and, in 1827,
Mr. Waghorn, who was then in the naval service of the East India
Company, which subsequently he foind necessary to resign, came to
this country, at the instance of a committee in Calcutta, and with the
express san aion of Lord William Bentinck, and employed himself for
two years in furtherance of the scheme. Finding, however, that
there we- e insuperable difficulties to the successful prosecution of the
Cape route, it was at lengths determined to make a trial of that by the
lied Sea, and Mr. Wagrorn was selected by Lord Ellenborough, then
Presith nt of the India Board, to carry out despatches to Bombay, and
report on the feasibility of establishing a regular communication over-
land through Egypt. This he did, and in this atttmpt evinced the
greatest zeal and determination (such remarkable traits in his cha-
racter), by going down the lied Sea in an open boat, the steam ship
expected to meet him at Suez having been prevented by an accident
from pertbrming her voyage.
Mr. Waghorn was now able to determine the relative merits of
the two lines of communication, and the result of his observations led
him to devote his life to the task of opening the path to India through
Egypt. In the prosecution of his plans he visited Bombay, Madras,
Calcutta, and other large stations, in order to point out the surpassing
importance of this grand object, and then, hastening back to,Eng-
land, urged upon the Government and the mercantile community
throughout the kingdom the policy of encouraging the enterprise.
He continued his unabated efforts till 1833, when, to prove the prac-
ticability of his plans, he carried out mails to India himself, and
brought them back thence three several times entirely unassisted.
It is especially deserving of remark that the facilities Mr. Waghorn
has enjoyed from his Egyptian capabilities and influence have always
been used by him for the advantage of his country. In October, 1839,
the mails of September, bringing the news of the capture of Ghuznee,
and also the Bombay and Calcutta mails of July and August, having
reached Alexandria on the day after the English steamer had left
that port, Mr. Waghorn obtained the use of a steamer from the
Pasha, by which means they arrived in London in time to be
answered by the outward dispatch on the 4th of November.
In 1837, Mr. Waghorn opened the route through France, thus again
further shortening the communication with India by some days.
Since then the whole of Go, overland mail system has been taken
under the hnmedlate control of Government, without, however, any
compensation having been made to Mr. Waghorn.
Before this zealous and enterprising individual stepped forth to
devote' himself to a task of such magnitude'no part of India could be
reached in less• than four months. The mails from Bombay now
reach England in about thirty-four days, and the regularity with
which the overland communication is conducted is she practical de-
monstration of his original views on the subject,

The daily increasing export trade of the port of Southampton, and
the great facilities afforded to the shipping interest by the completion
of the (locks, requires that, a more direct communication should he
made to It from the manufacturing districts, and from the north of
England and Scotland.
The passing of the Oxford and Rugby, and Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton Acts this session, has afforded the faciLties of effect-
ing this communication at very little cost.
By making the railway now proposed to be constructed by this
Company, from Didcot, on the Great Western Railway, where
the Oxford Line terminates, through Newbury, to the Southampton
and Gosport Railway, a little south of the Andover station, a distance
of only thirty-three miles, the most direct and di, shortest commu-
ideation will be formed from Southampton, by the Oxford and Rugby
Railway to Rugby, and thence by the Midland to York and Scotland;
and also from Rugby by the Trent Valley Midway to Manchester,
and by. the Oxford and Birmingham Line to Birmingham and Liver-
pool, and by the Oxtb d, Worcester, And Wolverhampton, to Chelten-
ham, Worcester. Wolverhampton, North Wales, and Birkenhead.
An examination of the map will show that it is only necessary to
make this very short line to effect a direct railway communication
from Scotland, York, Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham, to
Southampton, Gosport, Port,mouth, and the Isle of Wight. •
The evidence lately given before Parliament proves the very large
trade that there now is from Southampton. All the steamers from
England to Jersey and the Channel Islands, to Portugal, Gibraltar,
the Mediterranean, Malta, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, and the
East Indies, depart from and arrive at Southampton. Also, it is the
most direct and shortest course to Paris, through Havre. Large
quantities of fruit, from Greece, Turkey, the Azore Islands, and Por-
tugal, are bromiht to Southampton, and also the fish from Devon-
shire and Cornwall, all 'of which would, by this railway, have a quick
and easy transit to Oxtbrd, Birmingham, aid the manufacturing
districts.
The local traffic now existing from these districts, and Birming-
ham, Worcester, Cheltenham, and Oxford to Southampton, Ports-
mouth, and the Isle of Wight, is very great, and is daily increasing.
The names of the Provisional Committee and Officers will be
published in a few days. JOHN BETHELL, Solicitor.

Pia:MAHN-A It ANNOUNCEMENT.
RAILWAY FROM MACCLESFIELD,
passing close to the Towns of Leek, Cheadle; and Uttoxeter,
to the Trent Valley Railway north of Lichfield.
PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED.
The Line will commence at the Terminus of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard
Reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Consall,
thence close to Cheadle and Tean, and by Uttoxeter, Bagots Woods
and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent
Valley Railway north of Lichfield, communicating near there with
one of the proposed lines from Dudley er Wolverhampton.
A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct
line for the London and Manchester traffic, uniting these two great.
termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing
railways, will completely accommodate the local traffic, and throw.
open several extensive Coal fields and some thousand acres of Wood
land to Manchester, the Potteries, and other great marts of the
kingdom.
This Line is also in some of its principal features the same as that
already approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned
by the Churnet Valley Company—will not comprise more than fifty
miles of Railway, and passing through the centre of the unoccupied
part of the district, does not interfere with tke Grand Junction or
any other existing Railway. This and the proposed Line from
Crewe to Derby will also well accommodate the Potteries, giving to
that important locality a direct route to London, Birmingham, and
the South, to Liverpool and the North, and to Derby and the East,
and will also afford a transit for the Eastern counties traffic from
Derby to Manchester. The co-operation of almost all the principal
landowners from near Uttoxeter to near Lichfield having been ob-
tained, this portion of the line may be considered as secure.
A most influential Provisional Committee, consisting of land-
owners and manufacturers, and others locally interested, will shortly
be published. In the meantime references may be made to Matthew
Gaunt, Esq., Ilightleld House, Leek ; or to Thomas Turner, Esq.,
Abbots Bromley, near Uttoxeter.

Since the formation of the Company for making this railway, and
the allotment of the Shares for that part of the line between Chelms-
ford and Bury, the practicability, paramount importance, and supe-
rior advantages of its plan have been so unequivocally recognised by
the Board of Trade, and by the Committee of the House of Commons
for the railways of E:•sex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, that the Provisional
Committee have determined to now, at once, adopt the extension of
their line, originally projected, from Bury to join the Norwich and
Brandon line at Thetford; thereby to complete the shortest and best
communication between London and Norwich, in the direction of the
old road, through all the chief central towns of Essex and Suffolk,
and at the same time to open a very direct communication with the
great trunk lines of the north and west.
For these important objects, to be secured by an extension of only
12 miles, to connect.Bnry St. Edmunds and Thetford, the Provisional
Committee propose to increase the capital 250,0001., by the issue of
10,000 additional shares ; and, for full particulars of the entire plan,
refer to their original prospectus.
The Chelmsford and Bury line not having been projected in time to
bring it before Parliament in the present session in a substantive form,
it has been but imperfectly, and merely incidentally, in opposing other
lines, that its merits could be at all brought under the notice of the
Board of Trade or of the Committee of the House ; but the strong
impression made, notwithstanding, ht its favour, is obviously appa-
rent, both in the reports of the one and in the decisions of the other.
The Board of Trade, in stating the considerations upon which it ad-
vised the rejection of the Norwich Direct line, reported (March 4th,
1845) that "It is necessary to advert' to a railway called the Chelms-
ford and Bury Railway, projected, but not brought betbre Parliament,
the plan, and section, and traffic tables of which have been submitted
to the Board of Trade. This railway appears to us to accommodate a
more populous district than that intended to be traversed by the
London and Norwich Direct Railway. Its section shows that it
May be done at a moderate cost ;" (while) "there is a strong local
feeling in its fay( ur, evinced by the memorials which have been re-
ceived by the Board of Trade from the inhabitants of Braintree,
Halstead, Sudbury, and other places between Chelmsford and Bury."
The Committee of the House of Commons have since not only
reject...l the Norwich Direct and Bury and Cambridge lines, but the
Chairman (Lord Sandon) previous to giving a decision against the
Norwich Direct, took occasion to observe that "the Committee was
decidedly in favour of the Chelmsford and Bury scheme."
To these public testimonials in favour of the Chelmsford and
Bury line, the Provisional Committee have the satisfaction of
aiding, that by a special arrangement with the solicitor of the
Eastern Counties Railway, they are assured of the concurrence and
good offices of that important Company in the formation of their line.
In allotting their original Shares, the Provisional Committee ne-
cessarily rejected numerous applications, of which it may be pre-
sumed that a considerable number were from parties as highly re-
spectable as any of those to whom Shares could then be given ; and
in the distribution of tile additional Shares a reasonable preference
will be given to original applicants, as well as to original Share-
holders.
Applications for Shares, in the annexed form, may be made to
the Secretary, at the Company's Offices, GI, Moorgate-street, Lon-
don ; to the Solicitors, or any of the Local Agents ; or to the fol-
lowing brokers :—Messrs. Sheppard and Son, Threadneedle-street,

Reference.......................

The object of the Company, now submitted to public consideration,
is to afford to the town and port of Wisbeaeh, and the rich agricul-
tural district by which they are surrounded, the benefit of the im-
proved system of inter-communication of which they are now desti-
tute, and which they have been denied by the recent rejection of the
Ely and Lincoln 'Railway t 111. The required desideratum will be
obtained by the construction of a line of railway to commence at, or
near, the March-station of the Ely and Peterborough deviation line,
to proceed from thence to Wisbeach, and then to Sutton, there to
form a junction N ith the Grand Union Railway, in the event of it
having the sanction of the Legislature, and form a direct communica-
tion with the Metropolis, the midland and manufacturing counties,
and complete the chain of railways demanded to develope the traffic
and protect the commercial interest of the town and port of Wisbeach.
The length of the line is about twenty miles, and traverses a country
peculiarly favourable to the formation of a railway, presenting nearly
a continuous level between the terrniti, thus affording facilities which
will render the construction of the works Inexpensive, and insure
their early completion, with the additional and rare advantage of an
economical adoption of locomotive power in working the line. The
districts embraced by the undertaking are highly populous, and
have
,a very considerable local traffic, the quantity of grain alone
sold in the market of Wisbeach weekly, exceeds 8,000 tons, in addi-
tion to which, (here are extensive sales of flour, seeds, oil-cakes,
cattle, wool, coal, and timber, tile whole of which would pass along
the line, and be productive of a net revenue, which would ensure a
return of 81. per ceut upon the capital stocr.
The survey has been completed, and application will be made for
an Act in the ensuing session of Parliament. 'A large reserve of
Shares having been made for existing companies, with which the pro-
posed line will be united, a limited number only are at the disposal
Of the Directors.
The prospectus, with the names of the other members of the Pro-
visional Committee of Directors, will be issued in the ensuing week,
in the interim, applications, in the usual form, with unexceptionable
references, may be addressed to the Provisional Committee of Direc-
tors of the Isle of Ely, Wisbeach, and Lincolnshire Railway, at their
temporary offices, 30, ltucklersbury, London.

The object of this undertaking is to establish the most direct and
efficient railway communication that can be formed between Bir-
mingham and Oxford, connecting by the shortest possible route the
whole of the Lancashire manufacturing districts and sea-ports with
the south of England and its long line of coast in the British Chan-
nel. The existing lines afford hut a very imperfect and circuitous
communication through London, and it is singular that the com-
peting lines of , ailway now before the public do not supply the de-
ficiency or provide for the objects now contemplated. Under these
circumstances, there can. be no doubt that this railway will confer
essential benefits on the districts through which it is intended to pass,
as well as on the commercial and industrious classes'of the north,
and a very cursory inspection of the map will satisfy 'the inquirer
that the line is so peculiarly situate as to command an unusually
large amount of through traffic, independent of its local resources,
which are very great.
It cannot fail to be observed, that the Birmingham and Oxford
Junction will save a considerable distance on the route towards the
coast, besides furnishing to Warwick and Leamington the most
direct railway communication for the traffic between those places
and Oxford, Reading, &e., While the cheapness of construction and
excellence of the gradients will enable the Company to convey pas-
sengers and goods at very low rates, such as would not remunerate
an expensive line, but which are calculated to afford an ample return
for the small capital required for this undertaking.
The railway will commence by a con: calm with the Grand Junc-
tion Railway at Birmingham, and, proceeding in nearly a straight
Rugby Line, near Fenny Compton ; the entire distance from Bir-
, fall into the intended Oxford and
line by Warwick and Leamington
mingham to Oxford will thus be about 62 miles.
The Stratford-on-Avon line which will be constructed simulta-
neously with the line by Warwick and Leamington, will join the
main railway at or near to Kingswood. From Stratford-on-Ay, n to
Moreton-in-the-Marsh, by an improvement of the existing railway,
a distance of 14 miles, the communication through Stratford will he
complete to the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line, aLd the
t is Oxford,
Reading, and the South of England.
I confidently believed that this extension of the Oxford line to
the Grand Junction Railway at Birmingham, taking Leamington and
Warwick in its course, will furnish such strong corroborative proof
of the public importance and necessity of the Oxford and Rugby
line (now promoted by the Great Western Company,) its to insure its
Parliament. If the broad gauge should be adopted, ar-
rangements m en in
tshave been made with the Great Western Company to
run dispatch trains between London

and Birmingham in less than
three hours, and also to provide, at low rates, means of conveyance

1829, exceeding one per cent. per annum on the F tuns insured, on an
average of the different Ages; and two subsequent divisions of nearly
equal amounts were made up to,Christmas 1835 and Christmas 1842.
On an average of the three divisions the Reversionary Bonuses added

about 27 per cent. on the total' premiums paid thereon during those
seven years, and the whole amount of Bonuses allotted at the three
Septennial divisions exceeded 530,0001.
In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared
on the 4th of June, upon the preiniums received on all Policies

The propC;sed tuckingham and London and Birmingham Railway
Company (for the construction of a line from Wolverton to Bicester)
is amalgamated with this Company.
Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert
Stephenson, and It has been ascertained that no engineering difficulty
of importance presents itself.
'the undertaking has already received the sanction and support of
a very large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of
land through or near whose property it.is intended to pass.

. .
It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation,
and under the direction and superintendence of the London and
Birmingham Railway Company; under a lease, in perpetuity, at
Jin* per cent. per annum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange-
ment as to the surplus profits.
It is intended to offer the shares in such proportion as the amount
of capital will allow of, to *the holders of shares in the London,
Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway Company, subject to the
approbation of the Committee a Management, with the exception
of such as may to requiTel. rArtitil ham ',nal Interests.

vestment of capital, and from which a large return may be confi-
dently expected.
Prospectuses, giving full particulars of the proposed railway, cau
be obtained by applying to the Secretary, at No. 13, St. Helen's-

C 1 II EL MSFORD end BURY RAILWAY
COMPANY.
A recent, hut not very intelligible, complaint and lamentation of
the Essex and Suffolk Company may claim ttshort passing notice.
Neither the internal arrangements of a Railway Board with its
officers, nor the private connwenees of its sub-committees, nor its
cot ilitthiCatiotis with other boards, are proper subjects fin* news-
paper controversy. The Chelmsford and Bury Railway Company
have deemed it, on the whole, more sapshietory to appoint all cligi-
neer-in-zilienot professionally connected 'whit other local fines more
or less opposed to their owit : and, In the eN.ereise of a sound discre-
tion, have appointed a gentleman whose character as an engineer is
of the highest class—whose works in Scotland and the north of Eog-
land testify to his practical abilities—whose success before Parlia-
ment, in carrying his Railway Bills in the present session, has been
almost singular—and who has to local engagements to embarrass in
the slig,htest degree his entire devotion to the interests of their line.
The personal relations of their late engineer with their late Chair-
man led, more or less directly, to the resignation of the latter, and
with him retired also, upon avowedly mere personal emisiderations,
some of his personal friends.

EASTERN UNION RAILWAY EXTEN-
' SION TO NORWICII AND BURY ST. EDMUND'S.
NOPICE is hereby given that the Act authorising the extension
from the Eastern Union Railway at Ipswich to Bury
St. gdmund's, has received the sanction of Parliament,
and a Company is incorporated for the construction of it,
under the title of the IPSWICH AND BURY SAINT ED-
MUND'S RAILWAY. The part so sanctioned (twenty-six miles
in'length) comprehends fifteen miles of the line to Norwich, and the
execution of the works has already been undertaken by highly re-
spectable contractors, within the estimate of the Engineer, and com-
menced. The Directors will vigorously pash forward the line, so as
to open it for traffic in twelve months from this time; and Parliament
willibe applied to in the next session for powers to authorise the con-
struction of tile other portion (thirty miles, or thereabouts, in
length), which lies between Stowmarket and Norwich, thereby com-
pleting a communication between the important towns of Norwich,
Ipswich, and Bury, and carrying out the views of the subscribers in
forming the shortest direct line between Norwich and London, as
effectually as if the whole project had succeeded this year.
To give kffect to these arrangements, Proprietors of the Scrip
issued for the Extensions are required to forward them to the Offices
of the Company, Brook-street, Ipswich, addressed to the Secretary,
stating at the same time their Christian and surnames, place of
abode, and designation, fur the purpose of registry, on the following
terms, which have been agreed upon by the Provisional Committee
with the Board of Directors, and which they deem both equitable
and advantageous to the Proprietors, viz. :
They will, on transmitting their Scrip, be registered in the Ips-
wich and Bury St. Edmund's Railway Company, to the extent of
two,filths of the amount of such Scrip, and receive Shares under the
Corporate Seal for the same; and as to the three-fifths, they will
remain Proprietors of that portion of the capital in a re-issue of
Scrip, on which they will be credited with the deposits already made
in respect of it last year, and be subjected to no other call or deposit
tuftil a further Act of Parliament is obtained.
No other persons are entitled to be Shareholders in the New Com-
pany than those who are Proprietors of Eastern Union Extension
Scrip Shares.
The Solicitors are preparing the necessary deeds to enable the Di-
rectors to carry forward the project in the next session.
The receipt of the Scrip Certificates will be duly acknowledged, and
on tile completion of the Registry, and on the signing of such Parlia-
mentary documents as are necessary, the registered Shares, and the
new Extension Scrip, will be issued to the persons who may transmit
those now called in, and claim the conversion announced.
It is intended that the Extension to Norwich .hall be prosecuted
as a continuation of the Ipswich and Bury Saint Edmund's Railway,
so that the whole shall constitute one undertaking.
The holder of Extension Scrip will forfeit all right and claim to the
New Shares in respect of which no such application for registry shall
have been received on or before tile 10th day of September next, and
. .

the person to whom the original Scrip was allotted will be recog-
nised as the Proprietor thereof.
Under the powers contained in the Ipswich and Bury Saint Ed-
mund's Act, interest at the rate of 4 per cent. will be paid to the
shareholders on the deposit and all calls made while the works are in
operation—such interest commences from the passing of the Bill on
the 21st ultimo.
The First Ordinary Meeting under the Act, will take place at the
offices of the Company, in Ipswich, on Friday, the 12th day of Sep-
tember next, when nono but registered Shareholders will be entitled
to vote,
