PROSPECTUS.
The Line of Railway-now submitted to the Public, rests its claims for
support on the strong general ground of its passing through important
districts in Essex and Suffolk, whose interests have been almost entirely
neglected in the layirigout of the different Railways hitherto exechted
or projected for the honeflt of the Eastern Counties of England; but
which possess, nevertheless, population, wealth, and traffic, amply suffi-
cient to defray the charges of forming a direct -railway coinniatnica-
I ion through them, and to afford a good return for the capital required
for the purpose. •
Commencing at Chelmsford (at the station of the Eastern Counties
Railway), this -line will pass close by Braintree, Bocking, Halstead,
Sudbury,. and . Lavenham; to Bury, -runniag, throughout its whole
extent, of thirty-nine miles, nearly :conterminous with the, ancient
and most frequented highway from the Metropolis into the' heart of
Suffolk.
It will have, fat is termini; 'two- important market arid- assize
towns ; and for its principal hitermediate stations, places which are
the seats of considerable and thriving manufactures.
The towns of Bury and Sudbury are the -two largest in the county
of Suffolk, next to Ipswich ; and Halstead and Braintree, the two.
largest in Essex, next to Chelinsford and Colchester.
The population of the hundreds which will be directly intersected
by it amounts to 133,131, and that of numerous places to which it
would be more available than any Other 'Railway, to 43,500; making
the-total population which may be reckoned upon, as necessarily
tributary from local vitinageto thit line, not less than 176,631. '
Between the Metropolis and all the places which have been named,
as well as between these places themselves, there is a large existing
traffic, to which the facilities of the railway system could not fail to
give, as in all other cases, a vast extension. • • --
The Chelmer and Stour . Navigations, through which the districts
traversed by this Line now reeelve,their suppliep of coal, lime timber,
iron, &c., and which are also the principal outlets for,its agricultural
produce, will not only lave their own operations greatly failitated,
and their revenues increased by its. formation; but Contribu e :conlr
e--
derably to the income of the Railway. They Would be feeder ;but in
'i•
no respects rivals to it. . , ,
. But, besides the above local . traffic, the Line would coniMand a
very considerable through - traffic between Landon ' and- All the
Northern parts of Norfolk. From time immemorial more than One-
third of all the-coach traffic. between London and Norwich, has
passed over the . line Of toad with which this-Railway will !be con-
terminous. • i
An extension of the line to.Thetford, and also a branch trot Brain-
tree to Maidon,
by
the way of Witham, have been surveyed, nd *ill
form part'Of the scholia, if reiMiii,cll3Y- the Board of Trade.
From ealdfilatlOhs which haVe been very carefully mad of the
existing traffic alone, it appears that, assuming that it ould be
trebled.by the facilities-afforded- by railway communication, hich is
less than what all railway experience would warrant, the tal re-
turns from the projected Railway would amount to 105,4051.
The Line selected for the Railway Is the result of an en veering
survey, on which much time and pains have been expended, d will,
it is confidently believed, be found to be not only the very best f which
the nature of the country admits, but one admirably adapted to eet the
wants Of its traffic. It will be a Line at once cheaply made end heaply
worked. The gradients are easy, arid well balanced ; the ear h•work
will be less than the average earth-work mr- railways ; and re will
be no constructions of much 'difficulty or magnitude. -The and re-
iuired for the Line will be mostly fann-land, of moderate vette, and
n no place will it pass through any parks or ornamental groit.
Deducting 40 per cent. from the gross returns for the e nse of
working the Line (a liberal allowance fora Line of this character), it
would leave a net annual revenue of 63,2431., which would be 6qualto
8 per cent. on the invested Capital.
Power-will be reserved-in the Act to allow 4 per cent. int4rest on
deposits until the completion of the line. I

HE TWO POSTMEN
An Anecdote for St. Valentine's Day.
Two postmen, whose duties you all, understand, -
Were chatting one d ty 10 St. Martin's-le-Grand ;
Add Taffies, no douht, Will rejoice when we say,
That the theme of their chat was " St. Valentine's Day."
" I say;'-said-the first, in the Post-office yard, • • i
" Our duties just now are remarkably hard ;
I wish that St. Valentine's season wera over,
For it plays a sad game with a Post-office rover. •
*Tit; all very well for the feminine beauties,
But as for the postMep, it trebles their ddtld. '•'"
I really have so many' letters to' carry,
That I wish it were out of the fashion to marry."
" said the other poor postman, " well dont !
But what do you say about MOSES, and SON ? -•
The additional duties which press-on us so,
May all be imputed to MOSES, I know,
Tke astonishing charms which attend on their dress,
Give'a lovely 'appearance to all, more or less.
Yes—the cloth, and the cut, and the beautiful stitching
Aro such, as make gentlemen truly bewitching.
And then, as a consequence, ladies are smitten,
And that's why so many epistles are written ;
Were I to assume such charming costume, •
I should very soon hear from some feminine bloom."
" I perceive," said his mate, " I perceive how you reason
Concerning the ' Valentines' written this season ;
These duties would never have had to be done,
If we'd never hear L tell of E. MOSES and SON." '
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT I,
The Pulite 'are specially informed that, during the re-erection of
E. MOSES and SON'S premises in Aldgate, the entrance tO their
Establishment is only at 154, Minories.
A new. work, entitled " T ELE COMMERCIAL PHENOMENON,"

OPINIONS OF VIE _MSS. . I
"We regard the work before us, the • Silent Friend,' as 4 work
embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints
hitherto little understood, and passed over by a ma!ority of the me-
dicaiprofesslon, for what reason we are at a loss to know. W e must
however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable
impression on Our minds, that we not only recommend, but clrdially
wish every one who' s the victim of past folly, or suffering from
Indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."—Age and
Argus.
• " The authors of the ' Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly con-
versant with the treatment of a cla.ss of complaints, which are. we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those
who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot , fail to
recommend to it a carerid perusal."—Era.

THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD.
MR. WARD'S CASE.
OXFORD, TITURSDAY "EVRRING.—The members of the
University poured into Oxford this morning in vast numbers,
as the hour approached for the meeting of Convocation. A
great proportion-of those who arrived were men distinguished
in public life, and who came up purposely tebe present at the
Convocation. • The hour at which the Convocation. vats to
meet. had beenfixed for one o'clock, and soon after that time
the theatre was filled. It is calculated that there were not
lessthan between 1,200 arid 1,300 members of the University
present, although not more than about 1,100 voted.
Shortly after one o'clock, the Vice-Chancellor, preceded by
the bedela
.and other, officers, and fellowid by the heads of
the University, entered the theatre, and proceeded to his
seat. Mr. Ward had- perviously -ascended the " English"
rostrum • (on the left hand side:of- the theatre), from which
he was to deliver his defence. Among the distinguished per-
sons who either hid seats 'or stood on the floor in the body of
the theatre,' were the Earl of Romney, Lord Faversham,

conceal, indeed I am anxious openly to express, my own most firm
and undoubting' conviction, that were we as a 'Church to pursue
sucks line of coiduct as has-been here sketched, in proportion as
we did se we should be taught from above to ells:ern and appre.
elate the plain Marks of Divine wisdom and authority in the Roman
Church, to repent in sorrow and bitterness of heart our great sin
in deserting her communion, and to sue humbly at her feet for
pardon and restoration." .
P. 68..—" That the phrase, 'teaching of the Prayer-book,' con.
veys a definite Ind-important meaning, I do not deny `; considering
that it Is mainly a selection from the Breviary, it-Is not surprising
that the Prayer.book should, on the whole, breathe an uniform,
most edifying, deeply orthodox spirit—a spirit which corresponds
to one particular body of doctrine, and not to Its contradictory.
Again, that the phrase ' teaching of the Articles' conveys. a definite
meaning, I cannot deny;. for (excepting the five first, which .belong
to the old theology) they also breathe an uniform intelligible spirit.
But then these respective spirits are not different merely, but abso-
lutely contradictory ; 'as well could a student in the heathen schools
have imbibed at once the Stoic and the Epicurean philosophies, as
could a humble member of our Church at the present time learn his
creed both item Prayer-book and Articles. This I set out at
-length In two pamphlets with an appendix, which I published three
years ago ; and it cannot therefore be necessary to go again over the
same ground, though something must be added„ occasionally in
notes, and mere methodically in a future chapter. The manner in
which the dry wording of the Articles can be divorced from their
natural spirit, and accepted by an orthodox believer ; how their
prima jiscie meaning is evaded, and the artifice of their inventors
thrown back in recoil on themselves; this and the arguments which
prove the honesty Of thil, have now been for some' time before the
public."
P. 100 (note),.-"; In ray pamphlets, three years since, I dis-
tinctly charged the Reformers with fully tolerating the absence

The VICE-CriANcELtost confirmed.
Mr. WARD then rose, and spoke as follows:
Mr. Vice.Chancellor,—l am bound at, once to state, that I shall
conclude what I have to say by delivering in to you a formal protest
against the legality of this whole proposal. I deny that this veneer
able house has any power, with the present object in view, to decide
on the question, whether or not my opinions be consistent with
the 119 Articles; much mere I deny that it has any power to deprive
me of my degrees. Still I caimot shut my eyes to the fact, that,
should these proposals be unfortunately adopted, they may produce
considerable effect—l do not say on my own personal credit, but,
what is incomparably mere important—on the general well.being of
our Church—nay, you must excuse me if I add, on the credit
and good, name of .this University. (Here some very marked
demonstrations of applause were made in the theatre, coin_
menCing; as far as could be understood, in the semicircle filled
with heads of houses, doctors, &c., and spreading partially round'
the area on which the greater number of the members were stand-
ing. Mr. Ward immediately addressed himself to those who had
midi thelnterruption thus :—" I am sure all who are here must
feel that we ate engaged in a very grave judicial inquiry, and that
those who are here thus.= fudges will weigh with judicial gravity
what may be said on the occasion; and that, therefore, there will
not be any demonstration of opinion or of feeling, however much
it might be personally grateitil to me to feel that any such demon-
stration was in my 'favour." Mr. Ward then continued his
speech.) Feeling this, as I do, very strongly, and believing in my
conscience that this measure, as a whole, however otherwise
intended by many of its supporters, is oppressive and unjust. I
cannot bring myself to pass over any lei:inmate opportunity given.
me to influence the decision to which this house may come; and
I shall therefore proceed to press on your attention the chief
topics which occur to me as reasons likely to avail with you for its
rejection. In speaking, then, of myself, as of an accused person,
and of members of Convocation here present as my judges, you will
not understand me to concede that any charge is so much
as alleged againstme on which I believe Convocation...tn.-bare
Awaitingy but only t4.-concede, for argument's sake, what this
is not thephice'to disputd, in order that there may be free scope
for what I have to say. If ever there was an occasion when an
accused person was warranted in using the most urgent and cla-
morous solicitations for a full, calm, and unprejudiced hearing,
such an occasion hi the present. I stand here the supporter of
doctrines which the great majority of you who claim to try me
hold in suspicion and dislike; the question which you have to
determine is absolutely and entirely distinct from the merit of
those doctrines; and yet,' unless you make the greatest possible
effort to free your minds from undue prepossession, it is quite
certain that the dislike and suspicion in which, you hold the doe.
trines themselves will bias you, even without your own know.
ledge, in, judging of the wholly different issue- which you have
to, determine. I repeat—for I cannot repeat it too often—the
issue before you has no more to do with the question whether
the doctrine in my book be true or false, than with the question
whether my style of writing be good or bad, or whether my expo.
sition be dull or interesting. You have heard the proposition
submitted to you ; it is a declaratory proposition, intended to
serve as the foundation for an enactment. The declaration is,
that I have violated the engagement on which my degrees were
conferred ; and the enactment, that I be deprived of those degrees.

sso
false, much a
gerous, or undutiful,or rash, but as being inconsistent with my good
faith. One issue in regard to them, and one only, is placed be-
fore you—their consistency with certain formularies which I sub-
scribed when I received my degrees, and my good faith in respect
of those'subscriptioni.' If the Oxford Convocation had any claim
or elan:
to represent the Church of England, undoubtedly their disappro.
bation of my theology might have the utmost weight in determin-
ing (even then I don't see how it could determine what has been
the meaning of subscription; but) what hereafter it is to be. But
,you who are to be my judges have no royal read open to discover-
ing the true sense of the Church of England. You must proceed
by the same humble path along which a private individual like my-
self proceeds : you must judge of her sense by examining her for-
mularies. All,the wishes in the word cannot 'alter facts. Your
belief that certain doctrine* are ever so pernicious can have
nothing to do with the question whether they are allowed by the
symbolical documents of the' English Church ; and yet I cannot
but fear that vast numbers of you mix up in your minds these ab:
solutely distinct matters, and spare yourselves the trouble of ex.
amining this question that is before you, because of your intense
conviction on a question that you have nothing to do with.
And this difficulty of procuring a fair hearing is greatly
increased, ,by the necessary nature of my defence—l sub-
scribe certain formularies in what I have called a non.
natural sense. Granted. But is it the intention of the
Church of England that they necessarily be subscribed in a natural'
sense ,If it be, then it is the intention of the Church of Eng.
land that there shall be no subscribers to them at all. Now, this
is an unpopular line of argument from its very nature; and my
na• ening in it has been much misunderstood. The pamphlet which
I have put out in my defence I have heard characterised as dealing
merely with what is commonly called the to quogive argument—as
an attempt to prove that we are all dishonest together. It would
be much nearer the truth to say that it tends to prove that we are
all honest men together. I argue thus—the imponens of subscrip.
tion cannot be an abstraction or a historical personage—it must be
some existing, living person or body. The said imponens, who-
ever he is, wishes some considerable number of persons to subscribe
our formularies ; but if he wished them all to be subscribed in a
natural sense, no considerable number of persons, nor any person
at all, could sign them; therefore he does net wish them all to be
subscribed in anatural sense. .It It has been replied upon me, that 1
-at least carry the -Menge beyond all bounds. I answer, that where
the imponeni has ipoken on One. particular ease, that case must be
jUdged of by the analogy of those on which he has practically
spoken; and 1 believe that there is no single party in our Church
holding its place there by however long and undisputed prescrip.
Hon, who does not do greater violence to one or other part of our
formularies than I do to that comparatively small portion of our
formularies which appear on their surface to condemn Roman
doctrine. And it 'is the minor premises in these two
syllogisms at which I have laboured in 'my pamphlet I
have laboured, namely, to showlothett every one here
present subscribes a considerable part of our formularies
in a non natural sense, and that the opinions which dis-
tinguish' such as myself -from the great body of Eng.
lish Churchmen do not necessitate so violent a distortion of the
letter of our formularies as do the ordinary high Church opinions,
or what are sometimes called (though I don't wish to use an offen-
sive term) latitudinarian opinions, or what are sometimes called
(though I don't wish to acknowledge that term either) evangelical
opinions. This line of argument, it must be confessed, is an ex.
eeedingly ungracious one, and there is more than one reason
which renders it extiemely difficult for you to do it justice. In the
first place, I cannot deny that it 'implies, more or less, of dispa-
ragement of our formularies, by representing them as to some ex-
tent contradictory to each other in spirit, and inconsistent in their
prima facie statements; and we all know, whether it be a matter
of praise or blame, there is no one more general characteristic of
English Churchmen than that an imputation on the existing system
is the one allegation for which it is most difficult to obtain a fair
bearing. In the next place, persons who have for half their lives
held a certain doctrine and also subscribed a certain formulary,
unless they have an unusual power of abstraction, will hardly ever
see any inconsisistency between the, doctrine and the formulary ;
a new doctrine is brought before them, and its inconsistency with
the obvious bearing of some article is readily discovered. So, to
take the strongest case that could possibly be brought, it might
have been thought quite impossible that any one should read our
baptismal service, and doubt that, according to the obvious and
prima facie doctrine of that service, baptism conveys to
infants a real inward gift. Before baptlsm,—.. Thou who didst
sanctify water to the mystical washing away of sin, look upon
this child, wash him, and sanctify him with the Holy Ghost."
After,—" We yield Thee hearty thanks that it hath pleased Thee
to regenerate this infant with Thy Holy Spirit." And yet there
have been multitudes of religious and upright men, as we all
know, who have been quite unable to see it—some, perhaps, here

party recrimination, but tei illustrate .what I mean. In like
manner, on the other side of the question, tl,e same remarks apply
to the sense of the article on General Councils. This, in truth, is
the account thit.must be given of the strange fact, that for a long
time past the two Main divisions of our Church have been railing
at each other for dishonest subscriptions, each side wondering how
members of the other can reconcile it to their conscience to remain
ministers of the English Church: I believe, myself, one side has
about as much difficulty as the other; certainly, for one, I never
could adopt the language I have heard. used in calling upon

far too deeply hilpressed with the difficulty of the whole question
,as to subscription, and; moreover, lay far too great a stress on the
circumstance that both parties have in fact been tolerated within
our Church, to be able myself to adopt such language ; but I have
said the to illustrate toy position, how very difficult it is for per-
sons to see the. prima contrariety between their own opinions
and, formularies which -' they revere, and by necessary
consequence how mach they will inevitably exaggerate
that' contrariety in the case of another. The argu.
went appears, also, in a strong point of view on re-
ferring to the wording of the 7th article, which says :—" The Old
Testament is not contrary to the New, for both in the Old and
New Testament everlasting life is offered to mankind by Christ,"
ke. Now, it is held by some that, unless you view this portion of
that article in some particular light, it means that a future state
was not revealed to the Jews. Many think one way on that sub-
ject, and many another; but the words of the article would seem
on the surface to condemn the opinion that a future state was not
reveaied to the Jews. Two pamphlets have appeared, in wbich
the subject is considered with reference to my own supposed mo-
tives in acting as I have done in this question, What is said of
me in one of these pamphlets would be most painful to my feelings,
were it not that I am not conscious of being actuated by the sordid
motives imputed tome. The author looks upon me as a man who
trifles fearfully with truth.. and honesty; warns every one against
my principles, and, at the same time, himself adopts an interpreta.
