HERNE BAY, CANTERBURY, AND FAVERSHAM

ATMOSPHERIC,

Yesterday a meeting was held at the Pier Hotel, Heine
Bay, which was attended by the Commissioners, and many
of the principal landed and house pmprietors in the town and
its vicinity, for the purpose of considering the propriety of
supporting this project.
Dr. Stokes, the Chairman of the Commissioners, presided
on the occasion.

The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business, said it was mani-
fest that a railway communication to that healthful spot
must be calculated to render au infinite benefit not merely to
the town itself, but to every one connected with it. The
plan, as proposed upon palter, appeared to him to carry out
all that could be desired. For whilst it offered the facility of
a rapid, communication from and to the metropolis at a very
trifling cost, so it would crate a medium of transit to Can-
terbury, Dover, and the Continent.—(Hear, hear.) He was
satisfied there could be no oppr sit:on tittered to the project by
the cwners of property in Herne Bay or by its inlmbitatds,
because, as he had stated, the greatest advantage s in every
point of view must result to 'Herne Bay.
Mr. WiLsox, the Secretary t! e Comr any, :aid it was
proposed to run a line from lierne 1!:..y to ',lntl-burr, Whit-
stable, and Faversham, at 'trine!' point it 1:01ild form Lt junc-
tion, or connecting as it were, with case of the inat.y
lines which were projected to that
commanieati,,n h edon— (Hair,

bury, Deal, Margate, Ramfgate, and the t 0:011 CUL Herne
Bay would be, as it were, the main toot:-•, b, e.u-e not only
would it have the advantage than the inetiopolis by the line
to Faversham, but it would in conserimnce of its line to
Canterbury and facile commuta'ation to Dover, be a consi-
derable gainer by its connexion with tt,e cdebrated Home
Bey boats—the City of Canterbury, the Rod Rover, and
Herne.—(Hear.)
A discussion then ensued, in the course of which it was
several times stated that the project would meet with every
support flout the parties living in and connected with Herne
Bay.

ANDOVER CANAL AM) MANCHESTER AND
SOUTHAMPTON.

AIfI3OVER.—A meeting cf the Directo:s 4f the Manchester
and Southampton Railway Company, and a Committee of
the shareholders of the Andover Canal, took place at the
office of the Railway Company on Thursday, when the Com-
pany agreed to purchase the canal from Redbridge to An-
dover at the sum of 30,000/., of w hich 10,000!., part thereof,
is to be paid as a deposit to the Canal Company in January
next. This arrangement, if carried into ether, will be of ad-
vantage to the shareholders of the canal, as hitherto the
original shares have been considered rf little value, but for
which they will then realise neatly 40/. It will also increase
the value of the railway shares.

DIRECT LONDON AND EXETER.
A meeting of the inhabitants of Hammersmith was held
ast evening at the Albion Hall. There were present as a
deputation from the Directors, Sir Henry Pyin, Mr. Healy,
Dr. Costelloe, with Messrs. Columbine and '4raan, solicitors,
and Mr. Gomm, one of the assistant engineers.
Mr. HEALY took the chair, and explained in an able ad-
dress, which want of space compels us reluctantly to oniit,
the merits and advantages of the line.
Mr. COLUMBINE followed, and the other gentlemen of the
deputation, whose statements appeared to give satisfaction.

The delegates of the Luxembourg Railway Companies
have been to Luxembourg, in order to open negotiations
with the Grand Ducal Government to obtain the concession
of a council, which should traverse the territory of Luxem-
bourg, and then he continued to Treves. The Courier of
the Grand Duchy says. that these negotiations have failed,
and that the delegates of the Company have left Luxembourg
without having concluded anything with the council of the
Government.

RAILWAYS VERSUS COACHES.—The advantages of railways
over the old system of travelling are daily becoming more
apparent. At first economy of tune was the great feature in
the improvement, now economy of menu is as strikingly
evident. The Brighton Railw y Company his again re-
duced its fares. The first class tare, 10s., is now less than
the outside fare heretofore charged by the coaches, to say
nothing of the shillings (or rather talf-crowns) and six•
peaces charged by the coachmen and porteis.
MADRID AND VALENCIA RA ILW .t V.— YeSterday, William
Chadwick, Esq, the chairman, mid others, forming a deputa-
tion from this company, had an interview with his Excellency
the Spanish Ambassador. at his residence in Cavendish-
square, in order to make arrangements for the payment of
the caution-money required by the concession—amounting
to 3,000,000 of reels, equal to 30,712/. 17s. 10d. sterling.
The deputation was received with the greatest courtesy by
his excellency, who expressed him,elf favourably of the
engineering character of the country through which the line
will pass. The secretary of the Legation, by the direction of
his Excellency, afterwards accompanied Mr. Chadwick and P.
13. Volney, Esq., the concessionnaire, to the Bank of England,
where the full amount was deposited in strict conformity with
the conditions of the concession.

BARQUE CHAAIPLA IN-MUTINY
(From the St. John's Courier of September 13.)
The following particulars ( f the inuth.ons conduct of twt,
crews on board this vessel, have been famished us for publt-
cation:—

" Barque Champlain, J. D. Penton, master, sailed from St.
John's about the sth August last, for Dungarvon, and after
being at sea three days, and the advance notes of the searne.l
having been paid, the crew, nine in number, came aft and
said they would do no more work until the ship's head was
turned for St. John, on account cf her leaky state, she then
making from one-and-a-Lalf to two inches ler hour. They
remained below and hft the captain and mate in charge fur
seven hours. The captain having no altenutive, bore lip
and arrived at St. John on the 10th August. Oa arrival.
warrants were procured, and the seamen were taken into
custody, the ship surveyed, topsides caulked, pumps
regularly sounded by the harbour- master and port.
wardens, and a certificate given of the barque's
complete sea-worthiness. The seamen were tried be-
fore Alderman Porter, on a charge of refusing to pro-
ceed e n the voyage. Tha trial resulted in an order from the
Alderman for the seamen to return on board to their duty.
They did return, in company 'a ith ethers from the shore.,
threatened the mate's life, and filially left the vessel. Another
crew, ten in number, was shipped, on the 21st ; the vessel
again sailed from Partridge Island, and u hen between Grelut
Mahan and the Machias Seal Islands, on the 23d, at nine
A. 31., the crew came aft, saying they w0.,k1 go no further in
the ship, ordered the helm to be put up, which was prevented
by Captain I'. remaining by the man at the wheel.
The crew squared the main-yard, but the mate prevented
them from squaring the other yards. Eight of the crew
then went below, and the captain and mate having gone
forward to brace the main-yard up, the man at the wheel
then left, saying he should do like the rest. The cap-
tain, mate, and one man, who acted as cook and steward.
were all that remained on deck to work the vessel. On
Sunday morning, it was discovered that there was seven
feet water in the hold, and after pumping for some time
found the water to increase. The captain then went forwanl
to the forecastle hatch to ask the seamen if they intended to
let the ship sink, when he saw a small hatch oft, leading to
the fore-peak, and one man handing to the carwater two
augers. The crew told him that if the weather only cleared
they should confine him, and themselves take the ship to St.
John, but if it remained thick, and the ship water-logged,
they should take the boats and give him, a prank. At thirty
minutes after two, P.M., the weathet having cleared a little,
a brig called the Noble, of Lubec, saw the barque's ensign
union down, and came within hail, and agreed to send his
second mate on board to pilot the barque into Machias, it
being the safest and nearest port. The crew then agreed to
pump the ship out if they got something to eat, having had
nothing for thirty-two hours. During the night they
did not gain much on the water, and the pilot missed
some of the men from the pumps, and on going forwiml
he heard a loud knocking and saw the hatch off the fore.
peak, and one man came- up, and three came over
the bows, who pretended that tiny had been smoking.
They returned to the pumps, and the pilot communicated
what he had seen and heard to the captain, who went over
the bows in the morning, and then saw two plugs, perfect;c
new, four feet under water, projecting six or seven ir.ebia
outside the ship's sheathing. This circumstance w:,s made
known to the mate and pilot, and they all resolved to say
nothing about it at the time, lest the crew should refuse to
work the ship while among the islands. A short time after-
wards, on looking over the bows it was found that one of the
plugs had been cut off within an inch of the ship's side, and
the lower one about two inches. The water in the hold was
now rapidly decreasing, and at three p.m., on Monday, the
barque was brought to anchor in Machias port, and
afterwards made but an inch and a half water in
twenty-four hours—thus plainly proving that holes had
been bored in the bows by the crew, and afterwards plugged.
The authorities at Machias refused to take charge
of the crew, but sent a guard on board the ship. The cap..
tain proceeded to Eastport to the British Consul, who in-
stantry accompanied him back, when the crew were then
lodged in gaol, examined the next day, and, pronounced
guilty of mutiny, r...v01t, and piracy. The ship's deck load
was discharged ; she was then !anion a mud bank, the plugs
driven in, and produced at Court by the surveyors, who found
the ship perfectly sea-worthy, and the water that she had
made proceeded from the auger boles. The crew are now in
Machias gaol, under the care of the British Consul, and
Nils
be sent to England to be further dealt with accoreing to late
Captain Penton arrived in this city on Sunday last for a new
crow to take the ship to Dungareell. He expresses his un-
feigned acknowledgments to the authorities at Machias, the
British Consul, and Messrs. 'Rankin and Co., his consignee 9,
for their promptness in rendering him all the assistance iii
their power.

SCIENTIFIC NEWS. The Congress of Men of
Science, at Naples, held its first sitting on the 20th of last
month, and was opened by a speech of one of the Ring's
Ministers, in the presence of his Neapolitan Majesty. Our
-worthy townsmen, Dr. Brown, of the British Museum, and
Dr. Owen, of the College of Surgeons, were amongst the most
remarked notabilities. Excursions to Mount 'Vesuvius, the
royal palace of Caseate will follow, as the King and the
municipality of Naples have made great preparations to show
off on that occasion.
