IRISH LINES.

RAJ ENSION RAILWAY FROM TEMPLEMORE TO NENAGIT
AND THE SHANNON.—The Directors of this Company have
determined upon an amalgamation of the two lines, namely,
that from Templemore to Nenagh, with the original line from
Nenagh to the Shannon. The applications for shares in the
entire line from Templemore to Nenagh andthe Shannon, are
treble the amount that are for disposal. The allotments will
take place in a very few days, and every necessary form will
be gone through in due time to secure the Bill for the Com-
pany early in the next session of Parliament.--Nenagh

INTENDED RAILWAY FROM ENNISKILLEN, THROUGH
DUNGANNON TO PORTADOWN.—An influential meeting of
the inhabitants of Dungannon, and of the leading landed
interests in the neighbourhood, took place on Wednesday
last, in the Court-house there, at which Lord Northland
presided, when a series of resolutions were unanimously
adopted in favour of this undertaking, and a sub-committee
appointed to prepare the necessary prospectus. Mr. Lanyon,
our county surveyor, and ➢lr. Davison, from Belfast, at-
tended, at the request of the deputation. Both gentlemen
stated that they would have pleasure in undertaking, in con-
junction with Mr. Rowan, the county surveyor of Tyrone,
the conduct of the line, provided it was supported by the.
leading gentry of the county, and the inhabitants of the
towns interested in the project ; but that, without such co-
operation, they should not interfere. The proposed line will
jein the Newry and Enniskillen Railway, within a few miles
of the latter town, and pass through the towns of Lissmelan,
Fivemiletown, Augher, Clogher, Dungannon, and Verners-
bridge, and join the Ulster Railway, at Portadown. The
entire country is rich and populous; and the feeling evinced
by this meeting was unanimous in favour of the undertaking.

NEW METROPOLITAN ASYLUMS.

ST. LUKE, CHELSEA.
The Board of Guardians of the parish of St. Luke, Chelsea
held their usual weekly meeting oaffednesday, in the board-room
at the workhouse, Arthur-street, Mr. J. B. Ryder, chairman
of the board, in the chair.
After confirming the minutes of the last two meetings, and
the transaction of some ordinary business, Mr. Loveland, the
clerk, read, amongst other communications to the board, the
subjoined letter from the poor-law gentlemen of Somerset-
house, in answer to the following memorial :

" TO THE TOOK-LAW COMMISSIONERS FOR ENGLAND ♦ND

WALES.

" The Memorial of the Board of Guardians of the Parish of
St. Luke, Chelsea, in the county of Middlesex,
" Showeth—That your:memorialist' have received with con-
siderable surprise and concern, an order from the Poor-law
Commissioners, directing the uniting of the parish of St. Luke,
Chelsea, with the parishes of St. Martin's-in-the-Field', Ken-
sington, Paddington, St. Marylebone, St. George's, Hanover-
square, St. James, Westminster, and St. Margaret and St.
John the Evangelist, Westminster, into a district, to be termed
The North-western Metropolitan Asylum Districts, for the
purpose of providing and managing one or more asylum •r
asylums for the temporary relief, and setting to work therein,
of destitute houseless poor persons, who are not charged with
any offenee, and who may apply for relief, or become charge-
able to the poor-rates within any of the parishes above named.'
" That in the year 1841, after obtaining, at great trouble
and expense, a new Act of Parliament for the government of
all matters relating to the management of the poor of Chelsea,
this parish was separated from Kensington Union, in which, for
four years, it had been incorporated.
" That the separation gave, and continues to give, the highest
satisfaction to the ratepayers, as well as to the poor, whose in.
terests and welfare were sacrificed by the prejudicial working
and unwieldy extent of that union, which comprised Chelsea
and four other large parishes.
" That since the separation, a very considerable outlay,
amounting to upwards of 4,0;01., has been incurred by this
board in adding extensive new buildings to the workhouse,
which will accommodate a third more inmates than there has
yet been occasion for.
" That the poor-rates of this parish have beep augmented by
having to pay the interest, &c., of the moneys borrowed to
erect these new buildings; and that the said rates wii be still
further unnecessarily increased by having to contribute to the
building and maintaining of these contemplated asylums.
" That the workhouse of this parish now possesses every
means for lodging a much greater number of destitute house-
less poor than have hitherto applied for relief; and of setting
them to work in as efficient a manner as can be done in any
asylum to be provided under the late Act of Parliament.
" That your memorialists are quite sure that, had there
existed the slightest reason for supposing that Chelsea would
be united as now directed—a great portion of the present work-
house accommodation would not have been provided, thus ob-
viating an expenditure which, should the intended combina-
tion of parishes take place, will become perfectly useless and
unnecessary.
" That under these circumstances, your memorialists beg
leave to represent to your Honourable Board, that they enter-
tain the most decided objeotioni to the connexion of the parish
of St. Luke, Chelsea, with the proposed district asylum ; and
to hope that you will take these premises into your considera-
tion, and rescind the said order.
" And your memorialists, &c.
(Signed) " JOHN B. RYDER, Chairman.

way, Charles Bateman, J. Evans, W. Edwell, F. Gas-
kell."

"Poor-law Commission-office, Somerset House,
September 9, 1845.
" Sir,—l am desired by the Poor-law Commissioners to
acknowledge the receipt of the memorial of the Board of
Guardians of the parish of St. Luke, Chelsea, on the subject
of the order recently issued by the Commissioners for the for-
mation of the North Western Metropolitan Asylum Dis-
trict,' and am to state that the memorial will receive the consi-
deration of the Commissioners.—l have the honour to be, Sir,
your most obedient servant,
" GEORGE COODE, Assistant Secretary.
" To J. B. Ryder, Esq., Chairman of the Board
of Guardians of St. Luke, Chelsea."
Mr. F. GASKELL—WeII, they (the Commissioners) were
civil for once.—( Hear.)
Mr. EDWELL said their Chairman had been treated most
courteously by these gentlemen, addressing him as they had
done. He had no doubt they meant well.—( A Voice—" We
hope so.")
The CHAIRMAN said he could not help auguring well from
the letter just read of the success of their case. —( Hear, hear.)
It would, indeed, be most unreasonable and unjust for the
Poor-law Commissioners to object to their (the Guardians')
demand. No memorial ever presented a fairer case, He (the
Chairman) perceived that the parish of Marylebone wes up and
stirring, and he did hope that the other parishes, interested in
the opposition to this intended union, would also be up and
oppose the intentions of the Commissioners.—( Hear.)
The parish of Chelsea is to send two members to the district
board. As the election is ordered to take place on the Srst
board day after the 12th inst., the Chelsea guardians cannot be
in a position to proceed to an election at their next meeting,
which will he the 1 ith, consequently a new order, if the parish
is to be united to the other eight parishes, must be issued.
Several of the Chelsea guardians appear to entertain the be-
lief, frt;n the letter read yesterday from the Commissioners,
that that pay:,4ll will be exempted from the order of the Corn.

FALKIRK SECOND TRYST.
This great market commenced on the usal ground at Sten-
housentoor yesterday. On the previous days a great quantity
of stock had been verging towards the spot ; and Sunday pre-
sented a good display of black cattle and sheep in all the sur-
rounding fields. It is certain, however, that southearnndputr-e
chasers bought largely some days before the market,

a similar description were disposed of, prices being equally
high. The general good condition of beasts was no way im-
paired by the heat of the weather, and although we will not
definitely state the actual rise per cent., it is apparent that an
advance has taken place which in the state of the market may
still prove favourable to dealers, should their keep prove good.
In the afternoon the cattle began to come upon the grounds
principally small Highlanders. The show of all sorts is anti-
cipated to be great. Fillies were numerous, but few saddle or
draught horses have yet appeared. Altogether this' first day
is highly advantageous to the northern breeders, anti augurs
well for the prosperity of the south.—Edinburgh Aderritser,

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENING. THE IVEAI
TRYlt.—Both yesterday and to-day we have had splendid
weather. More favourable for the outstanding crops it,cnuhk
scarcely have been; and there is still sufficient wheat, &c.,
uncut in the neighb.ourhood to make a continuance of thiA
brilliant and warm weather desirable. This evening it is Teri
gloomy.
