slight recommendation for the library or the early morning walk in

The Act for the formation of the Wilts and Somerset Railway
having passed the Legislature, the Directors of the present under-
taking propose to take up that line at Salisbury, and join it by a direct
Railway communication of twenty-one miles on the broad gauge,
with the important town and port of Southampton. The line has
been carefully surveyed by experienced parties, and as it presents
no engineering or other difficulties (the chief landowners being most
favourably disposed towards it) the Directors have the fullest con-
fidence that the estimates for its construction, &c., will not be ex-
ceeded, while the statistics of traffic are so abundant, both through
and local, (a detailed statement of which may be seen at the office),
as to leave no doubt on the minds of the Directors that a most sa-
tisfactory dividend will be realised, to arise from the large number of
passengers that must embark and disembark at Southampton, to and
from the East and West Indies, the Mediterranean, France, the
Southern States of Europe, the Channel Islands, Isle of Wight, &c.,
as well as the large supplies of iron, coal, slate, stone for building,
flour, grain, and merchandise, constantly required to be transported
to, and received at Southampton, either for use there, for exporta-
tion, or for the consumption in that part of the interior of the country
traversed by the number of railways in connexion with, or springing
from, the present line.

The route of the proposed line will pass' through commons and
lands of little value ; it will proceed from the station of the Wilts,
Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, at Fisherton Anger, and proceed
by or near to Downton, Plaitford, over Hampworth and East Willow
Commons, by Bramshaw to Redbridge, taking the line of the old
Canal at Millbrook, and crossing the Mudlands to the Royal Pier,
Southampton, contiguous to which, and on the praAent waste shore.
it is proposed to erect a spacious Terminus, the cost of which is in-
cluded in the estimate.

It is also proposed to place the Railway in communication with the
Royal Pier and Town Quays, so that the convenience of loading and
unloading on the line may be secured.
A certain number of Shares will be reserved for the Proprietors
of the Wilts and Somerset Railway.
Applications for Shares, according to the annexed form, may be
addressed to the respective Solicitors, or to the Secretary, at the

ALMEETING of the SOCIETY for the MON' -
CIPATION of INDUSTRY was held at Exeter Hail on
Tuesday, July I, ANDREW SPOTTISWOODE, Esq., in the Chair,
at which the following resolutions were moved and carried :
Resolved,—First—That this Society cannot refrain from expressing
its surprise and disappointment at the very unsatisfactory resolutions
introduced by Lord John Russell in the House of Commons on the
26th of May, for the professed purpose of ameliorating the condition
of the working classes of the United Kingdom, and of correcting the
alarming evil for which his Lordship did not account, that while
" the rich are growing richer, the Door are growing poorer;"—and
this meeting considers that no professions of sympathy for the dis-
tressed condition of the labouring classes can avail anything, or be
satisfactory to the country at large, so long as those classes are
compelled to provide for a heavy taxation, on articles of consumption
in a money artificially made scarce—a regulation which confers an
undue and unnatural advantage upon capital over industry.
Second,—That it is the opinion of this Society that the state of
actual destitution and suffering under which it is acknoWkdked the
labouring classes in this kingdom are now so largely ,suffering, in
the midst of superabundant wealth, and the inexhaustible means of
producing that wealth, is not owing to any fault of their own, nor
to any express dispensation of Providence, but is attributable to In-
judicious legislation, of which the most striking example is the per-
nicious currency law of 1819—a measure which Sir James Graham
truly and emphatically denounced as a " delusion and a fraud."
Third,—That the object of the currency law of 1819 and of the
monetary measures of 1844 and 1845 is to reduce the prices of pro-
duction, to the level of gold prices; while the object of eorn-
laws, arc} of all protective laws, is to raisc .prices above the level
of gold, "Ifkorder to compensate for heavy,taxation ; and thus the one
object IS-Inconsistent with, and contradictory to, the other.—That it
is the intention of the Legislature, in levying taxes on commodities,
to.secure that those taxes should be paid by the consumers generally
inn rise of prices; but the effect of the monetary measures before re-
ferred to is to prevent a rise of prices, and thus to defeat that inten-
tion.—That by these means a grievous wrong is inflicted on the pro-
ducing Classes, the effects of which are observable in the wide-spread
pauperism described by Sir James Graham as already amounting in
England to full one-tenth of the population, and in the alarming de-
pression of the prices of agricultural produce, in consequence of which
the wages of the labourer are reduced to their present low 'and insuffi-
cient rate. •

Fourth,—That this Society contends that the high scale of indirect
taxation in this country demands a corresponding scale of prices both
of labour and of the produce of labour; and that such scale of prices
Is incompatible with the present low fixed price of gold, which has
the effect, not only of throwing upon the producers the burden of
that taxation which ought to be paid by the consumers, but of perni-
ciously restricting the circulating medium of the country, by making
it dependent on the quantity of gold in the Bank of England.
Fifth,—That if gold were allowed to find its market price in the
currency of the country, like all other commodities, and in obedience
to the law of supply and demand, prices in the home trade would
rise to a remunerating level, without affecting the prices of our
foreign trade, which are now, and always must be, regulated by the
market price of gold. That competition would prevent home prices
from rising in such a circulating medium beyond the level that indi-
rect taxation justified ; a level below which it is as unjust to the pro-
dater as it is dangerous to the public creditor to reduce them.—That
the Government money (or Exchequer-bills) now issued for taxes in
a shapo and in amounts excluslyelyuseftil to the monied class, should
be issued in amounts convenient for all classes—namely, in notes of
one pound and upwards; that these notes being necessarily confined
withih•the amount of annual taxation, would be founded on and re-
present that property which the Government annually draws from
the people in taxes, and would form the legal-tender money of the
nation.—That labour would then receive its fair and reasonable re-
ward, while the commerce and industry of the country would be freed
from their, present unnecessary and isjurious dependence upon
foreign exchanges.
Sixth,—That this Society views with horror the monstrous doc-
trine attributed to Sir Robert Peel in the debate on Mr. Villiers's
motion upon the 10th of June, that the increasing impoverishment
of the industrious classes is without remedy; that "great wealth
being found side by side with great . poverty" is "Inseparable from
civilisation,, and that civilisation in itself increases the tendency in
a country towards them,"—a doctrine which would consign a large
portion of our countrymen to irremediable poverty. That this
~Society is prepared to prove before a Committee of eithgr House of
Parliament that such a social anomaly is mainly attributable to mis-
taken views of the nature and uses of money, and of the laws
governing the distribution of wealth ; and they cannot but ascribe it
to the deepest and most deplorable delusion, that in the recent dis-
cussions on the subject of the Corn-laws and Banking, the National
Debt and Taxation,which form essential elements in both questions,
have been studiously excluded.
Seventh,—That petitions, representing the substance of the reso-
utions of this meeting, and praying for legislative inquiry into the
effect of currency on prices, and en the wages of labour, be now
prepared and signed by the Chairman of the Society, and be presented
to the House of Lords and the House of Commons ; and that the
Provisional Committee formed for the convening of this meeting be
requested to place the petitions in suitable hands for presentation and
support.

The primary object of the projected Institution is the accommoda-
tion of pauper lunatics, and of ether lunatics in poor circumstances,
in the northern counties of Scotland, which comprise an extent of
surface equal to one-third of all Scotland, and have a population of
about 250,000. Yet, with the exception of a very few cells attached
to the infirmary at Inverness, there is not any provision made in all
this wide district for the secure confinement or medical treatment of
the insane, the poorer classes of whom, amounting in number to up-
wards of 700, are left in a state of wretched destitution, either burden-
some to their poor relatives and paralysing their industry, or roam-
ing about the. country in search of a precarious subsistence—pitiable
on account of their calamity, often alarming and dangerous to the
community from their furious conduct, at once the disgrace, the in-
jury, and the terror of the country.

To abate this crying evil, this heart-sickening and frightful net
and destitution, it is proposed to erect at Inverness, as the most
central and convenient point, an Asylum for pauper lunatics, and for
other lunatics in poor circumstances belonging to the northern coun-
ties. As a subsidiary and ulterior measure, provision will be made
for the addition afterwards of apartments for richer classes of patients.
Tile funds for this purpose can only be obtained by the voluntary
contributions of such benevolent persons as are interested in the wel-
fare of the wide district of country referred to, or in the mitigation of
human suffering generally. It is estimated that at least 8,0001. will
be required to erect the necessary buildings, and to form a fund for
the permanent endowment of the Institution. Already considerable
progress has been made, principally in the North of Scotland, in pro-
curing subscriptions ; and hopes are confidently entertained that
with Metropolitan, and perhaps Colonial aid, the necessary funds
will be obtained to secure this invaluable boon for the poor, and re-
move one of the worst blots on the humanity of our, countrymen.
The rules for the government of the Institution will be of course de-
termined at a general meeting of the Subscribers, and will be sub-
-mated to them on principles fitted to secure a liberal and efficient
system of management, comprehending the chief official funtionaries
of the district, but giving to the Subscribers due and ample powers of
control and recommendation.

This Company is formed with the view of establishing a compre-
hensive system of railways for the county of Devon, in connexion
with the existing lines, embracing all the principal towns, and giving
to each the advantages of communication in different directions to
the greatest possible extent, consistent with a general plan.
Taking Barnstaple and Bideford as the principkl and most im-
portant points in North Devon, and as representing a district, it is
proposed to form a direct communication eastward, towards Taunton
and Tiverton ; and southward, with Exeter on the ono hand and Ply-
mouth on the other.
To effect this in the most complete manner, embracing the largest
amount of population, and giving also the greatest extent of inter-
communication between the several towns, it is proposed to carry a
line from Bideford to Barnstaple. and thence by South Molton to
Tiverton (joining the Tiverton Branch of the Bristol and Exeter
Railway), with a line diverging eastward, from a point a few miles
east of South Molton, and carried by Wiveliscombe and Milverton,
in a direct line towards Taunton, giving the whole of the district thus
traversed a very direct communication with the north and east via
Taunton, and with Exeter via Tiverton.
From Barnstaple and Bideford, as points of departure, another
line would be taken southwards towards liatherleigh, and from the
neighbourhood of that place proceed on the one hand to Plymouth,
and on the other to Exeter, via Crediton ; Okehampton being either
close to what may be called the main line of this system, or having
a branch communicating with it. By these means, Barnstaple would
have a second road to Exeter, and, with Bideford, would have direct
railway communication with a.ll the principal places of South Devon-
shire ; and Exeter would have the great advantages of railway com-
munication with all these Perth.

We are, respectfully, •
Your very obedient servants,

CONTRIBUTIONS for a NORTHERN LUNATIC ASYLUM for
INVERNESS-SHIRE, and the other Northern Cotutties of
Scotland ;—to be erected at Inverness.

The ground has been sufficiently surveyed to enable the
engineer to report upon the practicability of constructing lines in the
general directions above mentioned, the total length of which will be
about 120 miles, but the precise course of such lines must be depen-
dent upon the results of more detailed surveys ; the object of the
promoters belng, to construct the most perfect and complete system
that the country admits of, 'weighing equally and fairly the advan •
tages to the respective interests and to the public generally.
The Company is formed by an influential local proprietary, includ-
ing the promoters of the North Devon, Crediton and Barnstaple
Railway Company, and the parties who have interested themselves
in the formation of a line from Barnstaple to Tiverton, united with
the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and South Devon Rail-
way Companies, it being proposed that the three latter companies
should contribute one-half of the capital, and join in the direction of
the affairs of the Company.

GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN,
AND WATERFORD AND LIMERICK JUNCTION
RAILWAY, from CLONMEL to TIIURLES.

NOTICE,

The important interests Which these railways will subserve and
benefit may be estimated from a statement of the fact. that the
greater part of the entire population of Devoc.shire, which exceeded
at the last census 530,000 persons, is located at the extremities of
these lines, or in the distrtcts traversed by them, the latter includ-
ing some of the finest agricultural portions of Devon and Somerset.
The traffic to the interior from the Seaport Towns, both on the
English and Bristol Channels, and the supplies of corn, wool, cattle,
and other produce which flow to the latter in return, are already
very considerable, and may confidently be expected to be augmented
to a great extent by the increased facilities and diminished cost of
transport afforded by railway conveyance; the advantages of which,
especially in the articles of coal, lime, and minerals, are manifest.
The opening of a direct and speedy communication between the
north and south coasts, which the railway will effect, is a feature in
the present undertaking of much importance in a public point of view ;
and with reference to local advantage, and a profitable source of in-
come to the proprietary, a line of railway to a port in the Bristol
channel is of considerable moment.
The number of visitors attracted annually to the watering places
and romantic scenery of the north of Devon is also very great, and
will doubtless be much increased.
Arrangements are in progress for obtaining exact accounts by actual
observation of the traffic on the lines ; but the promoters are already
possessed of sufficient evidence to justify the confident expectation of
a remunerative income on tho proposed capital, which they are as-
assured is fully adequate to accomplish all the objects proposed.
The numerous assurances of support already received from the
landowners leave no doubt of the successful issue of the application
which will be made to Parliament for an Act of Incorporation in the
next session. Powers will be sought in such Act to allow interest
at £4 per cent. per annum on the deposit, and on all paid up calls
during the progress of the works ; and no subscriber will incur
liability beyond the amount of his subscription. form Applications for shares in the annexed (accompanied by a
satisfactory referencewhen the parties are not personally known to

mittee will proceed to allot Shares without delay.
