This tompany, is formed for the purpose of constructing a railway
in extension of the several important lines which it is intended shall
terminate at or near King's-cross, and the line Will proceed from
thence to a point at or. near Furnival's:lnn and Holborn Bars, where
it is proposed to erect a great central metropolitan terminus. 'flits
terminus will form the north front of a considerable portion of the
widest part of Holborn, between Leather-lane and Gray's Inn-lane.
The site selected is obviously the most convenient for the concen-
tration of the traffic of all the railways Issuing -from. London, either
to the north or in a north-easterly or north-weiterly direction.
The situation, moreover, presents very great facilities for exten-
sions, in the direction of the railways, to the east and to the south of
LOndon. •
The property necessary to be taken for the line and terminus is
• not of a valuable character, and there will be no interference with
any existing buildings of any consequence.
The surveys are in a state of forwardness, 'and will be ready to
enable the Company to proceed to Parliament next session.
The capital.has been .fixed at 800,000/., birt'the estimates hitherto
received lead the Committee to expect that a smaller sum may
suffice.
A preference In the allotment of shares will be given to scrip-
holders in the Direct Northern Railway, but this Company is esta•
blished as a separate undertaking.
Applications for shares may be addressed in the meantime to the
Solicitors, in the following form :

SECRETARY PRO TEM.—W. 0. J. Wollaston, Esq

This lino is intended to commence at the Port of Wisbech, by a
junction with the line of railway now forming frOm Lynn; and pro-
ceed by Thorney to Peterborough, there uniting with.the branch of
the London and Birmingham Railway to Northampton; and the
Peterborough and Syston branch of the Midland Counties Railway,
forming a through line from Yarmouth, Norwich, Dereham, Swaff-
ham, Lynn, and Wisbech, to Northampton, Birmingham, Derby,
Nottingham, and the whole of the northern and western parts of
England. The entire distance being completed In about 18 miles.
The importance of this railway, though only 18 miles in length,
will be at once seen by an inspection of the map; when the following
points will be self-evident.

1. That the port of Wisbech is the nearest sea-port for Birming-
ham; Staffordshire, and the Midland districts of England.'
2. That this line will open the whole of the manufacturing and
mineral districts of the Midland Counties and the Potteries tolVis-
bech, the nearest port for Belgium, Holland, Germany, and the nor-
thern States of Europe.

3. That by the formation of this line a direct railway ommunica-
tion will be opened between the port of Wisbech, and the ports of
Southampton, Bristol, Gloucester, and Liverpool.
4. That this line will unite the Birmingham and Midland Counties
system of railway with those of Norfolk, communicating with Nor-
wich and Yarmouth..

followed. Britain at last asserted her rights, with universal
consent, . and; with a rare genero,ity, claimed no exclusive
advantagesfur lvdr, which would at the time, and
for many years, have been too hazardous for any other
nation. Besides, we - have made no conquests—we have
merely.- asked for, Wand -obtained a station like that
long possessed' by the ' Portuguese, in 'order to secure
a trade which not only' furnishes a large revenue to the
-country, but .supplies one of the great necessaries of life to
the lower classes. It would, be difficult to point out any
war which was' so just, so•speedily settled, and so productive
of beneficial results to the conquered as well as the cod-
queror. •

An 'article appeared in our impresSion of Wednesday, which
we are 'auxfouS to impress on the serious attention of the
public whilst the matter to which it relates is still of recent
occurrence. Where facts are likely to find precedents they-
cannot be too promptly investigated'. Hai' the Mischiefs
that from time to' time fall out in the c3mplications of public
affairS, as well as 'in' the business 'of private life, might be
avoided or greatly neutralized by acting on this simple
maxim. But if the folly and the danger of procrastination
i❑ the conduct of their own personal business,• by-individuals,

be so unquestionable as' to have passed =from all antiquity—
into the most trite of proverbs—of how much more
serious prejudice must the 'same evil habit prove to
the Welfare of s'lntes Which permit it to creep into the exe-
cutive administration of their service ?. The article to which
we are now recurring announced the arrival of the Banchery
at Aberdeen,"frOm Newfoundland, with a short cargo 0' fish.
It is stated that " she would have been a full ship had it not
been for the, interference of, the Danish fishermen, who have
a settlement close to Newfoundland. It is to be hoped that
Government will put a-stop to this intrusidn,-and compel the
Danes; as they 'do then-end), tokeepWithin theirownlimits
We most heartily Concnr in, the hope expresSed by
Our Contemporary, the Aberdeen. Heruld. It is
impossible to overrate the national value "of our
fisheries as a source of maritime defence ; or of cheap, whole-
some,' and abundant sustenance ; or
.of comm_ ercial wealth.
BUt there is no portion of our trade so. liable to foreign en,
croachment. There is no species of foreign encroachment
which extends -itself so rapidly, or which, having been once,
permitted totake -place, it is so difficult afterwards effec-
tually to put down, or prospectively to restrain. And we
may go further in denouncing the intervention of our tardy
British diplomacy as always most tardy in the assertion of
our invaluable fishing rights. Even Lord PALMERSTON,
vigilant and decisive as was the general character of
his ;management of our foreign relations, was yet severely
censured, and we, thought, at the time, not without reason,
for the apathy or the indolence with which he had looked on
at the aggresaions'of the French
,fisliermen upon our own in
the mackarer and other, fisheries of the Channel. From the
exertions` of the Hon.. Members for Sussex, and a few other
spirited remonstrants, the respective rights of the fishermen
of the - two nations were at length redtrced into specific
statement, and made the subject of a new convention, which
was formally exercised, and now subsists in full force as the
text law, as it were, by the rule of which their rights are
ascertained and encroachments on them repressed. But even
that convention, if we mistake not, was not negotiated and
finally ratified without some sacrifices of ancient rights on our
own part: The claims of the French fishermen, as made
on their behalf by the Government of France, were conceded
to an extent which those who, in this country had the
reputation of being best informed on such subjects, consi-
dered quite -unwarranted by the prescription of the past, by
recent usage, or by any then existing treaties. This was
an oversight the more remarkable, as occurring during the
tenure of the foreign seals by the accomplished degcendant
of that great statesman who in the treaties negotiated by
him, both 'with the Dutch and the French, had taken espe-
cial care, et the 'Hague, and at Nimeguen, in 1668 and
in 1678, to protect, to the best of his power, the fisheries of
Britain. It is, however, a lamentable fact, that to France, to
Holland, and to the United States, .in the seas of the Old
World, and upon the shores of the New, we have, from time
to time, sacrificed such important fishing rights with so much
facility, that subsequent encroachments by vessels under their
flags upon our grounds have. been the rule—respect for the
rights of our own craft, on the same stations, the exception.
It is high time that this state of things should cease. It
has already operated (whether in conjunction with the re-
moval- or modification of former import duties on foreign cured
fish and oils, as Ml. ENDERBY, in a very able pamphlet, has
contended. (though, in our humble opinion, erroneously), or
simply through the effect of the system of encroachment so
pursued by foreign fishers), to the absolute ruin of our whale
fishery. It, has very largely reduced the extent of that herring
and ling fishery, from the, products of which we for a long time
imported vast returns into this kingdom by the supply of the
Mediterranean and even the Levant ports. It has, ere now,
so int;,lerably trenched upon our Newfoundland cod fishery—
perhaps the richest in. the ivorld—as to have proved a main
element of the grievances the experience of which has in-
volved us in war - with Francer—lt is our earnest appeal,'
therefore, to , the Government at home—(and the ques-
tion, we apprehend, fortunately for the interests
of the trade, happily for the interests of the
country at large, would come' within the cognizance of the
foreign, not of the colonial department)-Lthat they would
adopt, instant' measures for the effective repression of
these first steps in the way of new encroachments on
our interests and rights in the fisheries of --Newfound
land. The monstrous importance of . prompt and decisive
intervention on such a matter is to' be estimated not alone
by the vast- amount of British, capital, shipping, seamen,
labour and wages invested in these fisheries, but by
other considerations of even a higher and more urgent cha-
racter in a politi;alpoint of view. We have, for sonic time
past, arrivedat a firm conviction, that at no former period of
the thirty years' peace we have been permitted to enjoy, was
it of more vital importance to the independence; the
prosperity, and the Lonour of the United Empire, than
at the present hour, to maintain, in their fullest
and most available 'efficiency, all the great. nurseries
in which our hardy sailors are formed and trained, and to be
at all times found, when national exigencies may abruptly
require their indispensable services. Of all these nurseries,
next to that of our South Sea and colliery trade, the New-
foundland fishery is the most impoi taut and extensive, and the
best entitled to our unhesitating and detenn;necl protection.

The account from Madrid are to the 26th of September,
and we are glad to find that even some of the Opposition
journals admit that the Finance Minister is compelled, by
necessity, to raise money by additional taxes. The new
system, though highly objectionable as ,regards details, ac-
cording to the Heraldo, is preferable to the total disorder
which reigned in the public revenues before Senor MON came
into office. This is not the only instance, however, of reform
resorted to by the Government. Gambling, for which Madrid
has been •long notorious, is to be put down with a strong
band. The Political Chief had issued an edict in which he
declares that he will punish, with the utmost severity, both
the keepers of gambling-houses and those who frequent them.
The punishment for these offences is fine and imprisonment.
No public; transactions took place on the Bourse on the
26th.

The Paris papers announce three more elections for Depu-
ties, in the room of those raised to. the Peerage, at all of
which the Ministerial candidates were at the head of the
lists. In general the candidates supported by the Left have
been far below their Conservative opponents, and even at
Colmar, a town which strongly supports Radical principles,
Conservative candidates only came forward. The Legiii-
matists everywhere cut a poor figure. The French Bourbon
dynasty is extinct, and nearly forgotten by the whole nation.
The foll Owing are particulars of the proceedings :—M.
LARNAC, secretary to the` Duke DE NEMOURS, a Conserva-
tive, has been returned for Saint-Sever. At Colmar M.
MARAUDE, the Conservative candidate, had 123 votes, and
M. GLoxIN, also a Conservative, 115, but as neither had the
absolute majority upon the total number of votes, which
would be 126, another ballot was ordered for the next day.
At Douai, where the required absolute majority is 260 votes,
M. DANEL, the Conservative candidate, had 254 ; M.
CHOQUE, the candidate of the Opposition of the Left, 225 ;
and M. DURAND D'ELECOURT, theLegitimatist candidate, 35.
Neither of the candidates having attained the absolute ma-
jority, another ballot was ordered.

M. GARNIER PAGES has lately made a long speech to
his . constituents; in which, of course, he made at-
tacks on England,-. dp4ounced the foreign policy of
N. GUIZOT, and announced a great discovery. " France
in a short time," said he, " will have no occasion
to fight England single-handed, for her neighbours
will assist her in pulling down that grasping power." We
know not what neighbours he alludes to. The Germane
ha're no particular wish in that way, and the Spaniards
have quite enough to • do in managing their own af-
fairs. This notable disco Very is thus praised by the Courrier
Francais:—The events. of the last years have brought upon
France all' the bitterneSs contained in the entente. cordiale
Turned to profit without Mercy,by a tyrannical ally, isolated
in the midst of the nations which surround the long line of
her frontieis; France has experienced`.all the miseries of the
exclusive policy to which she has been condemned. She has,
however, after having been led astray by her guides, found
the natural route from which she had been driven by the
systematic error of fifteen ya-rs. As M. GARNIER PAGES has
well observed, France will find 'around her allies for the duel
which it is proposed one day to fight with Great Britain
Governments and nations are become tranquillised by our
position, and it is not in vain that we invoke their sense of
justice and right."
On Sunday last the KING, accompanied by the Comte de
Paris, the Due de Nemours, and Prince Philip of Wurtemberg,
Generals Athalin, Gourgaud, d'lloudetot, deColbert, Marbot,
and Gerard, and several orderly offi'eers, reviewed' he National
