THE WATERLOO BARRACKS IN THR TOWER.—
Mae* the first stone of these barracks was laid by the Duke of
Wellington, ia June last, the works have been proceeded with vigo-
rously, and the building is now nearly one story high throughout.
The structure was originally proposed to accommodate eight hundred
dud twenty-six men, but recent alterations have fitted it to receive
nearly one thousand. The length in front is 288 feet, and at the back
271 feet S inches. The width of the main building is 65 feet, but at
the flanks it extends to 82 feet. The size of the principal rooms is
28 feet by 24. The fleets are to be formed with iron girders and
brick arches, so as to render the building fire-proof. The style of
the building is castellated Gothic of the fifteenth century; the walls
are faced with Kentish rag, and the dressings of the windows, doors,
Le., are of Anston stone. Major Hall, as chief of the engineering
department, is the director of the works ; Mr. W. Harrison the con-
fret:ter for masonry, brickwork, die. ; and Mr. John Harrison for the
carpenter's work. The total cost is estimated at nearly 50,0001.
Many other works are contemplated in the Tower, involving a very
large expenditure. We should be rejoiced to hear that they included
the restoration of thi keep known as the White Tower, which is at
present a dibgraceful monument of Ignorance and want of taste.—
The Budder.
We' regret to learn that Mr. John Ramsbottom,
M.P. for Windsor, la seriously indlspesed. The Hon. Member had a
violent fell from his horse some time since, which has brought on
ISOM* severe internal injury. The answer to inquiries at the Hon.
Gentleman's residence on Monday was, that he was sinking fast, and
that no hopes were entertained of his recovery.—Post.
THE NASSAU BALLOON.—Mr. Green made another

afternoon Amongst the leading personages present we observed
his Royal Ilighnegi Prince George of Cambridge, the Marquis of
'Worcester, the Earl of Pembroke, the Earl of Munster, Sec. Large
number's were attracted to the gardens by the announcement that
eeverarpersons on horseback would ride a steeple chase in whatever
attraction the balloon might proceed. Fearing that the public safety
weight be endangered by such a course, the magistrates of the dis-
trict remonstrated against it, and the proprietors of the gardens ac-
ceded to their wishes. Mr. Green effected a safe descent at twenty
minutes put six o'eloak, at Hinton's-field, Plumpstead-marsh.

district, with as much accuracy as possible as to the condition of the
potato crop, and the extent and progress of the prevailing disease in
that esculent, with the view to a general and authentic report upon
this important subject. With respect to the approaching show at
Bellinasioe, the secretary stated that the entries of cattle amounted
to upwards of 600, far exceeding any former year, there being 250
sheep alone entered, the finest supply ever seen at any show In. the
United Kingdom. All the arrangements st Ballinasloe were nearly
emnpleie, and care had been taken to secure the most experienced

iDiR,'CIT LONDON, GLASGOW, AND
EDINBURGH RAILWAY,
VIA LEICESTER AND SHEFFIELD DIRECT.
(Provisionally Registered, pursuant to 7 and 8 Victoria, cap. 110.)
Capital, 1,200,0001., in 60,000 Shares of 201. each.
Deposit, 21. 2s. per Share.:
objeet of this Company is to establish the most direct tom-
asanication between Sheffield and the West Riding of Yorkshire and
London, and also between London and the important cities of Glas-
gow and Edinburgh.
Of the numerous projects to whieh attention heel:teen directed, none
win bear a stricter investigation than theory Ulf submitted to the
notice of the public ; for, whilst it is Proposeillealcure the best and
shortest route to the metropolis, from its propelled connexion with
ether existing or projected lines north and south of Sheffield, that
abject will be attained at comparatively little cost.
The main line of this important undertaking will commence by a
unction with the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, at or near
jeteighton, being a distance of about seven miles aa south-easterly
direction from Sheffield, and will proceed thence in a
'straight and direct southern course to Leicester, passing about
seven miles eastward of Chesterfield, and about five miles to the
west of If ottinghem. But the Company will take powers to nom.
menet. its ibis at the terminus of the Sheffield and Manchester
*cede'', at Sheffield, in cue the Sheffield and Lincolnshire line should
sot meet with the seine satisfactory reception in the Ho of Lords
during the ensuing session as that important project halmet with
in the House of Commons during the last session. At Leicester, the
proposed line will form a junction with the Routh Midland and the
Leicester and Bedford projected linos, or one of them, thereby effect-
ing the shortest practicable route that can possibly be made from
Sheffield to the Metropolis, reducing the distance between those
places nearly thirty miles, and between London and Glasgow about
seventy-five miles, and at the same time avoiding the delays at Itas-
and which frequently
bro. and Derby, so generally complained of,
occupy upwards et an hour.
On inepecting the Ordnance or other correct maps'of the country, It
will also appear beyond doubt, that this line, in connexion with other
lines la existence and projected, will form the most direct communi-
Galion between Glasgow and Edinburgh, as well as all the important
town., and districts of the North, and London. North of Sheffield, in
one direction, this line, in connexion with the Sheffield and Rudderstern—Lan-
-
neld—Huddersfield, Halifax, and Keighley—North Wes
caster and Carlisle—and Caledonian lines, will form one grand trunk
while in another direction, by the proposed Sheffield, Wortley, Silk-
stone, and Wakefield, or Sheffield, Barnsley, and Wakefield lines,
from Sheffield to Wakefield, and by the Wakefield, Leeds, and Har-
rogate line. direct to Leeds, it will place the above Important towns,
as well as the whole manufacturing and mining districts of the West
Riding of Yorkshire, Durham, and Northumberland, on the main
trunk between London and itie North.
That a direct communication between the above important districts
and London, as well as between Scotland and London, is greatly
seeded, is placed beyond all doubt, not only from an inspection of
the maps of the country, but from the often repeated expression of
public opinion on this subject. The vast and increasing population of
the above districts, the immense and daily increasing traffic between
those districts and London, and the growing desire for direct com-
Munication between all important parts ef the country, render such
a line as is now projected absolutely essential. That this is the ease,
asay be gathered from the speeches of Sir Robert Peel in the House
of Commons during the last session ; Lord Wharncliffe, a the recent
annual festival of the Corporation of Cutlers, at Sheffield; and other
members of the Government, all of whom concur in asserting that a
more direct communication between London and the North, than at
present exists, is now become abeolutely necessary to supply the
wants of the country.
This railway may, therefore, justly be regarded as a great na-
tional undertaking, and not one merely affecting local interests, al-
though its advantages to Sheffield, and the great and important ma-
sanfaeturiag districts of West Yorkshire, cannot be too highly
estimated.
