The object of this undertaking is to supply railway communication
to the towns and districts lying between the London and Birmingham,
and the Great Western Railways, giving them the best means of access
to the metropolis, and connecting them also with the Northern and
Eastern lines of railway, as weli as with Oxford and the South.
The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham
Railway, near Harrow, and passiny, to the north of Uxbridge, will
proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham to
Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury; from which
place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and
approaching Brackley, will terminate by a Junction with the proposed
Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury. .
In addition to the line above described, it is intended also to con-
struct a Railway from the central station of the London and Bir-
mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through
Bicester to Oxford; and in connexion with the line here proposed,
the Bedford, and London and Birmingham Company, intend to make
a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton.
The proposed Buckingham and London and Birmingham Railway
Company (for the construction of a line from Wolverton to Bicester)
is amalgamated with this Company.
Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert
Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difficulty
of importance presents itself.
The undertaking has already received the sanction and support of
a very large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of
land through or near whose property it is intended to pass.
It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation,
and under the direction and superintendence of the London and
Birmingham Railway Company; under a lease, in perpetuity, at
four per cent. per aunum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange-
ment as to the surplus profits.
It is intended to offer the shares in such proportion as the amount
of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares In the London,
Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway Company, subject to the
approbation of the Committee of Management, with the exception
of such as may be required for parties having local interests.

SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary PorrEn.)
COOPER t. WATTS.
The whole of the forenoon was occupied in this hearing,
which was an action at the instance of J. Cooper, tailor, New
Bond-street, to recover from H. Watts, of Lincoln's Inn-fields,
the sum of 161.45., for goods supplied at various times from the
beginning of 1841 to the end of 1843. While the delivery
)f the amount of goods named was not denied, it was stated
for the defence that Mr. 'Watts never had any transactions
with the plaintiff, but only with his son, Mr. Edward
Cooper, whom he understood to be a principal in the
business; that all the orders for goods were given
personally to Edward Cooper, at the premises in
Bond-street, and not to the plaintiff; and that at
various times the defendant, as a set off, had supplied Mr.
Edward Cooper with other goods to the value of 261. 12s. 6d.,
so that actually defendant had overpaid him more than 101.
Evidence was called to show that whatever might be the
impression of Mr. Watts in relation to Mr. Edward
Cooper's position in the business, that the latter was
only foreman to his father ; and, further, that all
the transactions of the business were conducted in the name
of James Cooper only up to May, 1844, several months after
the debt was contracted. The son had for a few months
after that period carried on business on his own account, but
had been obliged to give it up from the difficulties
in which he had been involved through im-
proper conduct, and was now nowhere to be found.
The son had supplied the goods to Mr. Watts only in the
capacity of servant to his father, and had no right whatever
to set off any private debt of his own against the transaction.
The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict for
the full amount of 161. 4s.

MARKET

'HIS DAY.).

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

There was a very limited supply of English Wheat here.
Although the attendance of dealers was by no means
numerous, the demand for all descriptions of the above grain
was steady, at fully Monday's quotations. In fine Foreign
Wheat a fair average business was transacted, and the rates
were freely supported. The supply of Barley being more
than equal to the wants of the trade, the sale for that article
was very dull at previous currencies. Malt moved off slowlr,
yet prices were supported. Oats, Beans, and Peas, were held
at previous rates.

Notwithstanding the supply of Beasts on sale in our mar-

for that description of stock, at prices barely equal to those
obtained on Monday. There were offering 70 Beasts and 20
Sheep from Holland, as also 100 Scots from Dundee, in fair
average condition. With Sheep we were scantily supplied.
Prime old Downs sold freely, other breeds slowly, at late
rates. In Calves, the numbers of which were rather limited,
very little was doing, yet the quotations were supported. Pigs
found buyers at full prices. I%lilch Cows sold heavily, at
from 141 to 191 each, including their small Calf.

the Court by Sir Charles Wetherell, on the 17th of December
last, we shortly stated the facts.

when such was not the fact. The case proceeded a short way,
when it was found that there was not sufficient evidence to esti
Wish the charge. The defendant was therefore acquitted.
The Court then proceeded to hear common jury cases.

SMOKE PROHIBITION BILL.

MR. MA6kiRI4oN having given notice to
bring forward the above Bill on the 20th instant, it has in-
duced Messrs. CHANTER and Co. to call the attention of manufac-
turers, Steam-engine Proprietors, DYers, Soap-boilers, Brewers, and
Horticulturists, to their NEW PATENT of 12th September last, by
which they undertake the CONSUMPTION of SMOKE, or NO
PAYMENT required.
Furnaces on the New Patent principle, with a combination of
others, most effectually consuming all tile carbon, may be seen in
operation at
Manchester—Messrs. Ormerod and Son, and Messrs. Ogden and Son;
Stockport—Messrs. J. R. Gees and Co. ;
Wakefield—Messrs. Holdsworth and Co.;

Halifax—Messrs. Akroyds and Son ;
And various other places in Lancashire and Yorkshire.
Also IMPROVED MOVEABLE FIRE-ORATE BARS, to lessen
clinkers and increase draft, which are applicable to every kind of
boiler, and can be fixed in a few hours, without disturbing the brick-
work.

For further particulars apply to J. Chanter and Co., Wine-oflice-
court, Fleet-street, London ; and Halifax, where licences may be ob-
tained, with plans for their erection. Agents wanted for Durham,
Lincoln, Norfolk, Nottingham, Suffolk, Essex, Kent, Surrey, Sussex,
and West of England.

TO ALL CONSUMERS OF TEAS AND COFFEES THROUGH-
OUT THE UNITED KINGDOM.
TIE BRITISH HONG-KONG TEA COM-
PANY inform the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, and Families
generally, that in addition to their large Wholesale business, they
have new opened those extensive and commodious Premises, Nos. 12,
and 13, NICHOLAS-LANE, KING WILLIAM-STREET, CITY,
as a Wholesale and Retail Establishment, for the supply of none but
genuine and superior class Teas and Coffees, at an unprecedented
smallness of profit. _ .

In consequence of the enormous quantity of spurious trash now
imported under the name :of Tea, there never was a period when
the public required, with a view to both Health and Economy, to be
more careful in the selection of this important article, and more upon
their guard against advertisers at extremely low prices.
From their long experience in all branches of the Tea and Coffee
trade, the extensiveness of their transactions, and the arrangements
they have made for securing the choicest growths of Teas and
Coffees the world produces, the Company feel confident that nothing
Is wanting, but a trial of their pretensions, to ensure them that
patronage it will be their constant aim and highest ambition to
merit.

The Company invite attention to their EXPLANATORY
PAMPHLET, containing a full description of all the various sorts
of Teas and Coffees imported, and sold by the Company, with prices,
&c., which will be sent Post Free, on being applied for ; but the fol-
lowing are confidently recommended.

DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY.
A special general meeting of the Shareholders in the
Direct Northern Railway Company was held this day,
at the office in Moorgate street, for th• purpose of
authorising the Provisional Committee to proceed to
Parliament, notwithstanding the line had been unfavour-
ably reported by the Board of Trade.
The Hon. Mr. AIRLEY occupied the chair, and after
briefly stating the object of the meeting, he requested
the secretary to road a report which had been prepared
for the occasion.

The report minutely detailed the many advantages
possessed by the project, and recommended the Pro-
prietors to empower the Committee, in case it should be
subsequently thought advisable, to extend the expendi-
ture beyond 10s. per share, the original sum specified in
the prospectus of the Company.
The report having been adopted,
The CHAIRMAN proposed to read a memorial to the
Board of Trade on the subject of the scheme, but
Mr. Alderman COPELAND objected to it, and
The CHAIRMAN acceded to the wish of the worthy
Alderman, and abstained from reading the document.
Mr. MATHESON, M.P., who expressed himself strongly
in favour of the Company, moved the first resolution,
directing the Committee of Management to remove the
ninth clause of the subscribers agreement, limiting the
expenditure to los. per share, and authorising them to
appropriate the funds already paid up to any expenses
whieh might be incurred in applying to the Legislature
for an Act of Parliament sanctioning the project.

➢ir. CIIAPMAN seconded the motion.
Mr. HUNT protested against any additional expendi-
Aar, beyond the 10E. per share, because he had pur-

now certain failure of Pennsylvania to pay her interest to-
morrow. Part, and a large part of it, may be paid, possibly,
some days hence : but payment in full on the day is now out
of the question.
The new Governor, Mr. Shank, sent a special message on
the subject on the 29th, and it looks like anything but present
payment.
According to the accounts from Mexico, Santa Anna
has been totally defeated, his troops dispersed, and he
himself prisoner. The accounts have been received
both by way of Tampico and New Orleans, and also

however, as his affairs did not appear desperate at the
last accounts it may not be true.

Mr. HUME also presented a petition from an individ-
ual named Gordon, who had resided in India, but had
been deported thence by order of the Governor-General,
for some alleged misconduct. He (Mr. Hume), had
presented a petition from the same person ten years ago,
and he then prayed for an inquiry into the circumstances
of his case, but such inquiry had not. been instituted up
to the present hour. He prayed, therefore, that the
earliest opportuity would be taken to do so,

Mr. 0. STANLEY presented a petition from Lanca-

forming railway Committees, he would move that any
person having any interest, direct or indirect, in railways
or railway companies, shall be excused from serving on

CI‘_}ONSUMPTION—its CURABILITY estah-
lished by reference to numerous cases ; being a Letter ad-
dressed to the Senior Consulting Physician to the Hospital for Con-
sum tion. By Dr. CItONIN, Physician to the Strand Dispensary
far ion. _ _

TREATMENT OF CONSUMPTION.—I ask you, Dr. Forbes (of 12. Old
Burlington-street), are you acquainted with my mode of treating,
Consumption? Have you ever read my " Treatise ?" Are you ac-
quainted with the nature of Traction? Had you criticised that hum-
ble production—had you examined its matter, shorrh its errors, and
pointed out its fallacies, if such there be, I probably should have been
silent, if not content. But no—although now three years before the
public, you pass over its statements unheeded, its doctrines neglectc4,
its errors unnoticed; even its falsehoods, if any, uncontradicted.
What, suffer me—a " blockhead"—for upwards of three years to Im-
pose on the public—to amuse them with " Traction," without con-
tradiction—without observation—without a single remark! How
different to my case would be that of Sir Henry Halfortl—but I have
no Fellowships in my gift. Had " Traction" originated with him or
with Dr. Chambers, the former of whom would have, and the latter,
probably, now—would give his ears that such had been the case, the
" British and Foreign Quarterly Review" would have rung from the
Title-page to the Finis with the wonderful discovery. I fear that
many will infer that self-interest proved the principal incentive at
last—several of your patients haying deserted you to place them-
selves under my care—and the bare suspicion conveys an impute-
tation, which, for your own character and reputation, I trust yon
will be able, and satisfactorily, to explain.—From Dr. Cronin's
" Letter on the Curability of Consumption."
To be had at Forsyth's, 455, Nest Strand ; Byrne's, 94, St. Mar-
