SECRETARY (PRO TEM)—Mr. Thomas Phillpotts, jun.
It is proposed that the course of this line shall be from the Wor-
cester station of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Rail-
way I. a point near Malvern, where the line will be divided into two
branches ; the one branch proceeding through or near the parish of
Bostbnry (from whence there will be a branch to Ledbury) to Hue-
co/NI, where it will run into the station of the Great Western Com-
pany's Monmouth and Hereford Railway, and the projected Hereford
Red Shrewsbury Railway.
The other branch will proceed from the point of division near Mal-
vern straight to Gloucester, and will join the Gloucester and Dean
Forest Railway near that city.
This line will pass rather more than half a mile below Great 3fal-
vern, and not far distant from the town of Upton-on-Severn. both of
which places are at present entirely shut out from the benefits of rail-
way communication

UNITED KIN GDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,
8, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL-MALL, LONDON.
Established by Act of Parliament in 1834.
DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG TIIE ASSURED.
This Company, established by Act of Pal liainent, affords the most
perfect security in a large paid-up Capital, and in the great success
which has attended it since its commencement in 1534, its ANNUAL
INCOME being UPWARDS of 72,0001.
In 1541 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of
one-half of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 2/. per cent. per
annum en the Snm Insured to all PolicL:s of the Participating Oa%
from the time they were effected.
The Bonus added to Policies from March, 1834, to December 31,
1840, is as follows:

The country has already been inspected, under the direction of the
engineer, and it is found that there are no engineering difficulties of
a serious character to be overcome ; and indeed the greater portion of
the line presents a course extremely favourable for a railway, the
gradients being very easy.
Near the point of division at Malvern the Hereford line will cross
a portion of the Malvern range by one or more tunnels; but the
whole length of the tunnelling will not much exceed one mile. From
the other side of Malvern to Hereford the surface ofthe country is as
favourable as could be desired.
The Gloucester line, from the point of division to its terminus, will
pass through a country peculiarly, favourable, the surface being
throughout nearly one continuous level. .

With regard to the immediate local advantages offered by the
proposed railway, it will effect the most direct communication be-
twecn the cities of Worcester and Hereford, and Gloucester and
Worcester, and between those cities and the delightful watering place
and favonrite summer residence of Great Malvern, to which it will
also give an easy and expeditious access from other popolous but
mere remote districts. _

The important market town of Ledbury, with the rich corn, fruit,
and hop district around it, will also be brought into closer and more
profitable connexion with the three cities ; and it cannot fail to make
a conaiderable addition to the traffic between Worcester and the Port
of filoncester. _ . .

The facilities presented by the proposed railway for increasing and
developing traffic in a more general and national point of view, are
of a very extended character. Joining the Forest of Dean and Mon-
mouth Railways, it will afford a ready means of transit to South
Wales, and by its junction with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver-
hampton line, and with the projected line to Port Dynnlacn, it will
give railway communication with the manufacturing and mining
cistriets of the north of England—especially of South Staffordshire
and Worcestershire, and also with North Wales and Ireland; and by
means of the Great Western Railway, which it joins at Gloucester, it
will complete an unbroken broad gauge line from Wolverhampton to
Exeter in the one direction, and from Pembroke to Wolverhampton
in the other. It will effect a considerable saving in distance between
the port of Gloucester and Wolverhampton, and all parts of the north ;
it will be the nearest possible route from the extrema west of Eng-
land, and from South Wales. to all places north of Wolverhampton.
The enumeration of the places and districts to be traversed by the
proposed line, and a description of its course, sufficiently indicate that
it may fairly be expected to command a remunerating amount of
traffic. -

.....
It will supply to theport of Gloucester important aturbulky article,
of export, drawn from the mining and manufacturing district of
South Staffordshire and Worcestershire ; and will still further deve-
lop the resources of those districts by increased facility of communi-
cation with their natural port. The importance of this branch of the
traffic can scarcely be over-estimated : in one portion of the district
alone—viz., between Wolverhampton and Stourbridge, there are
about 100 blast furnaces in work, producing nearly 500,000 tons of
pig iron annually, and it is admitted that the want of railway facili-
ties have hitherto greatly hindered the development of an important
export trade from this district. The works at Droitwich and Stoke
Prior can furnish any quantity of salt. The carpet manufactories of
Kidderminster, the iron and glass works at Stourbridge, Dudley, and
their populous neighbourhood, will also supply an important amount
of traffic—certainly far beyond that now carried on with the present
insufficient means of transit between those places and the district to
be affected by the proposed line.
The Hereford branch of the line offers to the agriculturists of the
counties of Hereford, Radnor, and Brecon the advantages of cheap
and ready me•tns of access to their principal markets. It will be an
important advantage to them to have their cattle, corn, hops, fruit,
wool, and other produce, speedily and cheaply conveyed to the great
markets of Worcester and Birmingham, and the towns in the centre
of the great manufacturing population of Staffordshire and Worces-
tershire ; the advantages, too, will be mutual, as the line will afford
equal facilities for the conveyance of the mineral and manufacturing
produce of the north to the rural districts.

The population of the districts affected by the proposed line, rec-
koning from Wolverhampton to Gloucester on the one hard, and from
the same place to Hereford on the other, is not less than 400,000 ; and
from the position of the country traversed, the line must be fed by
all the railways constructed, or to be formed, on either side. There
can, therefore, be no reasonable doubt of the Worcester, Hereford,
and Gloucester line commanding a traffic so considerable as to yield an
ample remuneration for the requisite capital.
The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow
int,rest at 4 per cent. per annum on the deposits, and no subscriber
will he answerable for more than the amount of his deposit of 21. 2s.
per share until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount
of his subscription. .

London Offices of the Company, 449, West Strand, London.

The Committee of Management, in consequence of necking daily
applications for shares in this Company, beg to state th tt the lists of
applications have been closed for some time. The allotment is now
in progress, and the letters will be issued as soon as the requisite
examination has taken place. The Committee regret that the
number of shares applied for having so greatly exceeded the number
at their disposal, they will be compelled iu all cases greatly to reduce
the number applied for, and to omit entirely many applications from
respectable parties to whom they would otherwise have been desir-
ous to make allotments.

SECOND EDITION.

measures of impre'sion to be inflicted upon the Hovas. We
must not allow England, under the pretext that her flag has
been insulted at the same time as our own, to get before-
hand, and assume the part which belongs exclusively to
France. In a word, we must not allow England to assume a
sovereignty over a land which we maintain to be our own ;
and the best means of preventing this usurpation is, on the
one hand, to declare to the English Cabinet, that the co-ope-
ration of the English navy at Tamatave was accepted only
with reservation and as a friendly act, involving no conse-
quence of a nature to compromise our official pJsition, and
on the other hand, to send to Madagascar a large force to
inspire upon the Hovas the respect which our flag is entitled
to. The expedition which we recommend would besides have
the effect of proving and reviving our too long forgotten
rights ovtr the island of Madagascar. We must not content
ourselves with a sterile vengeance for our defeat ; we must re-
establish cur fellow-subjects who have been expelled, by
placing them under sufficient protection, and then the blood
of our troops will not have been shed in vain for their
country."
The SW!cle makes these remarks on the same subject
"The Ministry is at length convinced of the necessity of
sending a formidable expedition against Tamatave. The
behaviour of the natives since the attack conducted by M.
ROMAIN DESFOSSES has been such as to admit of no hesita-
tion The sovereignty of France has been denied and in-
sulted. We have at the same time to avengd our dignity
and to enforce the execution of treaties. The sovereignty of
France over Tamatave cannot be contested, even were our
claim to the whole island of Madagascar called in question."
The Moniteur publishes returns of the Customs' duties for
the month of August last, which amounted to 12,413,503 f.,
being 1,366,959 f. less than during the same month last year,
The amount of customs for the eight months ending Aug. 31,
1845, was 101,203,157 f. (4,000,000/.1, showing a slight
increase, as compared with the previous year. Thus,
reckoning the other four months of the year at the same
rate, the total amount of Customs for' 1845 would
be about 6,000,0001., or less than one third of the Customs
duty in this country. The KING on Friday left the Chateau
at Eu in his carriage, at three o'clock, attended by the Minis
ters of Justice and Commerce, Generals JAccemirsor, GOUR-
GAUD, and HOUDETOT, the Marquis DE STRADA, and M. DE
BRAIIAUT, .orderly officers, and took a drive, visiting Treport
in his way, and returning to the Château at six. In the even-
ing the Minister of the Marine left for Paris. On Saturday, at
three o'clock, after the ceremony of the baptism of the young
Prince of SALE COBURG GOTHA, in the Chapel of the
Château, at which the Royal Family were present, the KING,
accompanied by General GOURGAUD and his orderly officers,
took an airing in his carriage, and returned to the Château at
six. The Prince and Princese of SALERNO left Eu for Paris
on Saturday.
We subjoin miscellaneous extracts from the Continental
papers :

prove that in the campaign of 1813 he was hardly superior
to BLUCHER or tc any third-rate General. That he committed
a grievous blunder at Leipsic no one can deny. He allowed
his army to remain in a dangerous position till it was sur-
rounded by twice its numbers; he sacrificed in vain the lives
of his bravest soldiers, and with wanton recklessness of his
own fate or that of the French army, he had made no pre-
paration whatever for a retreat, from which nothing
but a miracle could save him. In this certainly
there was no generalship, there was a foolhardy
daring which he had often tried, and in which
he had often been successful. We know not that the battles
of Bautzen and Lutzen are deserving of great praise, but cer-
tainly they are not entitled to the encomiums passed on them
by some writers. They both led to great slaughter,
and to no results, though they displayed abilities which
appeared sadly wanting at Leipsic. Speaking of
the latter battle, LABAUMN:, who is not overpartial to
NAPOLEON, says "we may place this battle in the rank of
his finest military combinations, and consider it as the most
brilliant of all those of which the annals of war
preserve the record." This is one view of the
question, and the Reviewer ' takes another, which is
equally remote from the truth. In fact, he describes
it as a disgrace to the EMPEROR'S talents. "It presents,"
says he, "but two very simple things—a gross and dangerous
blunder—ignorance, or rather disregard of the presence of an
enemy—the most culpable rashness, and the most inexcusa-
ble vain confidence ; then, a decided and successful
attempt to remedy that blunder by no extraordi-
nary inspiration of genius, but by doing the one only
thing which a soldier of common sense could do on this
occasion." While these doctors disagree so widely we will
not attempt to settle the difference. The military character of
NAPOLEON is placed far above the reach of minute criticism;
he accomplished with raw troops wonders in Italy, which in
some respects outshone even the deeds of HANNIBAL; he
raised the French army to the_ highest pitch of military
glory, and was crushed at. last-, though not without a giant's
struggle, by the united forces of Europe. To say, however,
that he was great only as a soldier, is contrary to facts,
.about which there can be no dispute whatever. His admirable
civil administration after France had been broken up by the
madness of countless parties in the great revolution, and more
especially his civic labours during the peace of Amiens, en-
title him to the very highest rank as a statesman and a legis-
lator. The new Code of Laws was almost entirely his work
—he superintended the investigations of the Commissioners,
discussed with them the most abstruse and intricate points of
law with a readiness and ability which struck some of the
veteran Solons with more wonder than even hi:, great victo-
ries; he settled the commotions in La Vendee, reconciled the
great majority of the royalists to his Government, employed
many of them in the army and in civil offices—in
fact, rendered France more united than she
had ever beewunder any, even the best of her legitimate
Sovereigns. These, independent of other grand measures of
reform, do more honour to NAPOLEON, and 'place him on a
higher pinnacle of fame than all his splendid victories. He
committed great faults, but he was a mortal, and therefore
liable, like the greatest of mankind, to the errors, and foibles,
and prejudices, as well as crimes common to humanity.

" A letter from Athens of the 13th gives an account of the ar-
rival of the Duke de Montpensier in that city on the preceding
day. The Prince was received with the usual marks of distinction,
and in the evening the King gave a grand banquet in honour of
his visit. The same letter states that accounts had been received
of an attack by 200 rebels on the fortress of Coron, in the Mains.
The assailants were, however, repulsed.
"' After a cruel captivity of five years,' says the Mode, 'the
King and Queen of Spain, recovering a liberty of which they had
been unjustly deprived, have at last been permitted to choose the
place of their exile. The Queen will meet at Rome her brother
King Don Miguel, another victim of revolutions ; at Naples her
son, the noble Infant Don Sebastian, who so valiantly fought for the
cause of Spanish legitimacy. The King will find at Genoa the two
Infants, his sons, with whom he parted 12 years ago, to join the
royal army in Spain.'
" A Berne letter of Sept. 25, says :-' The President of the
Communist-Club of Berne, who was a simple workman at one of
the printing-offices, has just been arrested. The club was imme-
diately closed. A formidable coalition of workmen has been
formed at Soleure. The artisans at Argau are drawing up a peti-
tion against the liberty of manufactures, and against the introduz.
tion of foreign manufactured produce.'
" The Empress of Russia left Berlin on the 23d by the Anhalt
railroad. Early in the morning guards were stationed to prevent
the court-yard of the station and the approaches from being en-
cumbereq by the crowd, and none but personages of high distinc-
tion were admitted. At 7 o'clock her Imperial Majesty arrived at
the station, accompanied by the King of Prussia and the Princes,
the Grand 'Duchess Dowager of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Princess
Frederick of the Netherlands, the Duchess of Dessau, with her
children, and the Duke of Anhalt-Cothen. In a few minutes the
train started with the Empress, accompanied by the King and
Princes, who went with her as far as Cothen, and then returned to
Berlin, where they arrived at four in the afternoon. The King
of the Netherlands and the Duke of Cambridge were expected at
Berlin, where apartments had been prepared for them, and also at
Potsdam.
" We learn from Posen that, on the 21st, the members of the
new German Catholic Church in that city celebrated divine wor-
ship publicly for the first time according to their tenets. A dis-
turbance had been expected, but everything passed off quietly.
" The Government of Etectoral Hesse has strictly forbidden the
congregation in places of public worship of the members of the new
German Catholic Church, and declared that persons of that sect
must restrict themselves to religious worship in their own houses.
It appears, however, that in Wurtemberg and in Prussia there is
a greater spirit of toleration.
" The Constantinople State Gazette publishes the text of the two
hatti-scheriffs addressed by the Sultan to the Grand Vizier, notify-
ing the dismissal of Riza Pacha and Saofete Pacha. They are
very brief, and make no mention of the causes which have led to
the disgrace of these functionaries. The Sultan states simply that
it had become necessary to deprive them of their offices. The two
ex-Ministers live isolated in their houses on the Bosphorus; but
Riza is treated with more indulgence than his late colleague. He
is rermitted to go to the mosque, and to take exercise in the coun-
try, while Saofete Pacha is closely confined to his house."

It was, if we mistake not, one of the charges brought against
Mr. O'CossELL, in the monster indictment, that he had en-
deavoured to excite the hatred of the people against the law,
and bring the administration of justice into contempt.
Now, if these be offences, then do we commend the justices
of Rochester, and Sir JohN MARSHALL, Knt., K.C.H.,
of Gillingham, and all the other parties concerned
in the prosecution of JAMES MELLtrm, at Rochester, on the 29th
ult., to the kind and considerate attention of her MAJESTY'S At-
torney-General. It
_would appear that on the morning of that
day, a little boy, named JAMES MELLtrm, was placed in the
felons' dock of the County Court, at Rocheste.r, before
W. M. smmr, Esq., Chairman, and four other jus-
tices. Now, what does the reader imagine to have
been the crime, the commission of which had brought
this precocious specimen of juvenile depravity into the felon's
dock of the County Court of Rochester. He was charged
with having knocked down some walnuts from a tree,
the property of Sir JOHN MARSHALL, Knt., K.C.H., at Gilling-
ham. The fruit was valued at sixpence. The little boy pleaded
guilty. Now, there is something excessively rich in the idea
of five full-grown justices being assembled, in all
the dignity of robes and fur, to investigate
concerning the fate of sixpenny-worth of walnuts,
the property of Captain Sir JOHN MARSHALL, K.C.H.
" whose ,only Object," as the Chairman observed, " in bring-
ing
the prisoner before the Court was to protect his orchard
and his fruit, which he has a right to do." True all this "much
ado about nothing" has a tendency to bring the administra-
tion of justice into contempt ; but up to this period
the whole affair has been so richly ridiculous,
has been such a perfect burlesque, that it is impossible to do
otherwise than treat it as an excellent joke. But now comes
the more serious part of this case. The little boy had pleaded
guilty, and the CHAIRMAN observed that he should
iniict a penalty on. him for stealing those walnuts ;
rnd the magistrates, therefore, adjudged the prisoner to pay
the penalty of Is. 6d., the value of the walnuts, together with
the costs, 13s. 6d.—making a total of 15s. The mother of
the boy, on hearing this decision, burst into tears, and said she
could not pay that sum, she having a large family of children,
and nothing to support them except what she worked hard for
as a laundress, and 6s. per week she received from her
husband, who is a marine artilleryman. The Chairman
said that, as she could not pay the money, he must com-
mit the boy to the common gaol for fourteen days.
Does the Chairman know what is the meaning of committing
the boy for fourteen days ? Does Sir JOHN MARSHALL, who
was present the whole time, and who does not appear to have
interfered at all to get the sentence mitigated does
Sir JOHN MARSHALL know the meaning of those words ?
They mean that the boy is to be ruined here and hereafter—
that he is to be destroyed, body and soul—that he is to be
for ever deprived of that by which alone he can ever earn an
honest livelihood—character; that he is to be cast
loose upon society a tainted, corrupt, immoral, gaol-bird, from
whose touch every honest man will shrink with loathing
that he shall be forced to adopt crime as his
calling, to sustain a miserable existence, to be
ended at last amidst the horrors of a penal colony,
or perchance on the scaffold. These must be the inevitable
consequences of exposing a boy to the contaminating influ-
ences of a prison. Is Sir J. MARSHALL prepared to inflict such
a punishment for such a mere piece of boyish mischief?
Has he never, when a schoolboy, himself been engaged
in robbing an orchard ? Have none of the magis-
trates who sentenced this boy been equally guilty?
They need not be ashamed to avow it. Wiser
and better men than they
have done such
things and have not been ashamed to confess it.
JAMES MELT AM can quote high authority in extenua-
tion of his offence, for Lord ELDON has recorded
of himself that in his schoolboy days there was
no freak in which he took such delight as in robbing an
orchard. The Chairman eventually gave the mother a month
to pay the money in, declaring that if the money was not
then paid the boy must go to gaol. Let us hope that
some charitable person will, in the interval, pay the money,
and save the boy from the utter destruction with which he is
threatened. But whether the money be paid or not, there
can be no doubt but that proceedings such as these are emi-
nently calculated to excite the hatred of the people against
the law, and to bring the administration of justice into
contempt.

Madrid journals of the 23d September have been re
ceived. Several of them are occupied chiefly with at-
tacks on the Ministry, and especially on the Finance
Minister, for his contract with the Bank of San Fer-
nando, which the Herald° described as ruinous to the
State. These attacks, however, fall harmless on Senor
MON. He is evidently a man of some energy, and his
Perseverance in enforcing the new tax deserves great
praise. No people pay taxes with such a bad grace, or
so unequally, as Spaniards, and it is therefore natural
that great opposition should be made to a plan which
will allow none to escape from their fair share of the
burdens. One of these journals states that the two car•
riages supposed to be presents from the Queen of ENG-
LAND to the Queen of SPAIN, belonged to Mr. BIILIVER,
the British Ambassador at Madrid. The following in-
telligence appears in the Barcelona journals:---,, The
Mediterranean squadron, under the command of Ad-
miral PARSEVAL DESCHENES, composed of the Ocean of
120, Jeminapes of 100, Inflexible of 90, Diademe of 82,
steam-frigate Marengo of 78, Triton of 78, and the
Descartes, arrived on the 15th at Palma,
in the Island of Majorca. At the moment the Diademe
brought up in the roadstead, her main top-mast, which
was found to be rotten, came down, and in its fall killed
three sailors.
No business was done on the Madrid Bourse on the
23d. Exchange on London, 37-a.

PRICE OF GoLn.—The premium on gold at Paris
's 141 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s.
101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25 51 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being
25 60, it follows that gold is 0.35 per cent. dearer in London
than in Paris. By advises front Hamburgh, the price of
gold is 432 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange
of 13 8-6 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at
short being 13 aa, it follows that gold is 0.40 per cent.
dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of ex-
change at New York on London is 110 per cent. ; and the
par of exchange between England and America being
109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.43 per
cent. in favour of England. But the quoted exchange at New
York being for bills at sixty days' sight, the interest must
ha added to the above difference.
THE WEATIIER.—Since Sunday last the weather
has been beautifully fine, dry and bracing during the day,
with slight frosts at night, and is consequently most favour-
able for those who have not yet succeeded in getting in their
crops. The change has taken place at a most critical time,
for a continuance of last week's wet would assuredly have
placed in jeopardy a large portion of the crops in the less ad-
vanced districts. All danger however is, we would hope, now
at an end.—Cork Examiner.
A young woman, named Anne Dangerfield, met a
shocking death, while picking stone at the new works near
Ketley, by the earth sinking, and she falling in, her body was
almost instantly covered by the loose earth. Although as-
sistance was promptly at band, upwards of an hour elapsed
efore the body was recovered, when life was quite extinct.
