This Company is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to
Derby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby
Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest
route from Liverpool to London. It will commence at Liverpool, and
proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to within a
short distance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off
in a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, Knutsford, and
Congleton to Leek (there joining the Manchester and Rugby Rail-
way), and from thence through Ashbourne to Derby. The whole
length of the proposed line will be about sixty=six miles. It will be
seen by reference to the map that this important line of railway will
form the shortest route from Liverpool to London and effect a direct
chain of communication between Liverpool and Derby, and will
thence, by means of the Midlands and other railways, open an unin-
terrupted route to the more eastern counties, and afford a complete
midland communication between the eastern and western parts of
the kingdom and the important intermediate manufacturing districts.
The most important feature in this railway is that it forms the
shortest road from Liverpool to London. The distance by it, with the
Manchester and Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will be only
188 miles, whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and by the
Trent Valley Railway 200% miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles in
one instance, and 12% in the other.
And as regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole distance between
Liverpool and Derby will be reduced by this line to about 74 miles,
thus decreasing, the distance by any present existing railway, at least
46 miles; an advantage which carries in itself the conviction of the
necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to eonnect more
immediately two such important towns, especially when these towns
a^e but the foci, as it were, for other railways from still more distant
localities, as before adverted to.

The distance also from Manchester to Leek (where the proposed
railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway)
will be about 30 miles, and from Leek to Derby about 26% miles,
making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only 56%
miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communi-
cation between those important towns by about 28 miles, an object
most desirable to be attained, and of itself quite sufficient to recom-
mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial results.
But great as these resalts most certainly will be, they are far out-
weighed by the very important consideration that, in conjunction
with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway, it will also be the
most direct route from Liverpool to London.
The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of junc-
tion with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 47 4 miles;
from Leek to Rugby, according to the line as proposed by the Man-
chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and from Rugby to
London 83 miles ; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool 'to
London 188% miles, instead of 210, by the present route.
With regard to the traffic and other details connected with the
working of the line, it seems only necessary to revert to the great
importance of the towns proposed to be brought into communication
with each other, in order to convince the minds of all that the source
of revenue thus derived will be immense.

Messrs. Joseph and William Heron, and Messrs.Higsoa and Robius,
Manchester

That another and a more direct line of railway is necessary between
the metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Manchester, is
now fully admitted, and the question is, which is the best line to be
adopted
The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most di-
rect route from London to Manchester, and will therefore complete
the direct communication with the metropolis at a much less expen-
diture of capital than by either of the projected London and Man-
chester lines (Remington's and Ashurst's), the actual distance to be
constructed being only 73, instead of 170 to 180 miles.
A careful preliminary survey has determined the promoters of this
railway to adopt nearly a straight line from Rugby to Macclesfield, as
an increased expenditure of 200,0001. or 300,0001.judiciouslyapplied in
thepresentperiected state of civil engineering, and at the reduced cost
of the execution of earth works, will prove in the end a far greater
real economy, both to the Company itself in the saving effected in
the annual expense of working, and also, what is of more importance,
to the country in general, by accomplishing, at a much less cost, the
same end proposed by an entire and distinct line from London to
Manchester. _ _ _

There are no engineering difficulties connected with the forming of
the line.

The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid until the Act of Parliament is
obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent.
interest on all calls.

Applications for detailed prospectuses, maps. and shares, may be
made to the Secretary, at the offices, 78, King William-street, City,
London ; and at 22, Cross-street, Manchester, and the following
Sharebrokers :—Messrs. R. Sutton, Gribble, and Sutton, 22, North
Side, Royal Exchange, London; George Burnand, Esq., Cornhill ;
Messrs. Balclay, Allsop, aid Co., Royal Exchange ; Messrs. Mac-
kenzie and Lawrence, 38, Cornhill ; Messrs. Houghland and Leese,
51, King street, Manchester; Messrs. Marshall, Town-hall-buildings,
Manchester ; John Wills, Esq., Royal Bank-buildings, Liverpool ;
Messrs. Welibeloved and Oastler, Leeds; Messrs. Edwards and Son,
and W. H. Land, Esq., Bristol ; J. R. Lane, Esq., Birmingham ;
Messrs. Garton and Wright, Sheffield; J. G. Kershaw, Esq., Hud-
dersfield ; F. C. Spencer, Esq., Halifax ; Messrs. Hall, Brothers, and
Co., Cheltenham; Henry Beaumont and Co., Exeter; R. P. Lemon,
Esq., Bath ; Joseph Clark, Esq., Southampton ; and Messrs. Flint
and Tootal, Hull.

These considerations have not been sufficiently kept in view by
other parties who have also proposed to make a railway from Rugby
to Macclesfield, but who, by deviating from the direct tract to pursue
valleys and to avoid the irregularities of the face of the country,
obviously lose the advantages proposed by this Company.
The Parliamentary decision on the choice of the London and Bi igh ton
Railway is a parallel case, the direct line, although presenting more
difficulties to overcome, and involving a greater outlay, having been
adopted by Parliament in preference to the many competing projects,
in a more or less sinuous direction, which were at that time supported
in the House by very influential parties.
Should it be found necessary, arrangements have been made by
which additional lines of rails will be laid between Rugby and Lon-
don on the London and Birmingham Railway, whereby the surplus
traffic northwards will be abundantly provided for.
This line also possesses the singular advantage of affording the
shortest and most direct route from Manchester to Southampton,
Gosport, and Portsmouth, a feature presented by no other proposed
railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great
Western as far as Didcot, and thence the proposed Oxford, Southamp-
ton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Manchester to
Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than by any other route,
and on this account the project has been warmly supported by the
Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Railway Company.
The deviations from a perfectly straight line between Rugby and
Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or
valuable buildings are very slight, and the line in general offers no
engineering difficulties of any magnitude. The towns more directly
Interested as a local line are Nuneaton, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market
Bosworth, Burton axpon-Trent, Tutbury, Ashbourne, and Leek.
The Company has made arrangements with the North London
Junction Railway Company, whereby it has secured the use of their
station (of the extent of six acres) in the centre of the City of London,,
at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which will prove of the utmost
mportance to this line.
Amidst the many railway projects that now occupy the public
mind, and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily be conceded
that a line that will attain such important results at so small an
outlay cif capital, and the time required for its construction, and
without interfering with any existing vested interests, must meet
with general approbation, and at the same time offer a very exeellent
investment for capital.
The shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports-
mouth, in the London and Birmingham, and in the Manchester and
Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of
the shares.

The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is
obtained, and power will be take' in the Act to allow 41. per cent.
interest in all calls.

THE UNITED STATES.
LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 25.—The packet ship Sea, Captain
Edwards, arrived in the Mersey at an early hour this morn-
ing from New York, which city she left on the 3d inst.
The aspect of affairs had not undergone any change from
the date of our previous advices. The movements of the
United States' troops towards Texas are noticed in the
journals, but the details are uninteresting here.
The quotation of exchange on London on the 2d was
1094 to 110. Money continued in moderate demand at 6 per
cent. per annum.
The native American steamed' Marmora, W. A. Page com-
mander, had sailed from New York for this port, on the
afternoon of the 2d inst., with 16 cabin and 24 steerage
passengers. We have not received any intelligence of her.
The following is from the New York Herald:—
" THE WAR.

"We have no further accounts from the seat of war in
Mexico or Texas, nor from New Orleans nor Washington.
Everything still remains in doubt, and enshrouded in mys-
tery, Rumours are thickening of every kind and variety,
but nothing tangible apppears on the face of them. Some of
the latest accounts state that the Mexicans have yet made no
appearance on the Rio Grande ' • others fear that General
Taylor is in danger. It appears from the best information,
derived from various sources, that the War Department at
Washington hasmade some grave blunders in fitting out the
expedition to Corpus Christi, where General Taylor has
fixed his head-quarters. It seems from this statement that
the artillery companies have been sent there without proper
cannons ; and that to render these troops of any service in
case of an attack from the Mexicans this Government is
compelled to forward cannon fit fur service. Strong com-
ments are made on this statement against the President; but
WO think with no justice nor discretion. If the fault hss
been committed, it must rest with the head of the War De-
partment, Secretary Marcy.
"If there is any truth in the accounts we have received
from Vera Cruz, the Mexicans must have reached the Rio
Grande before this time. If thsy pass it, we may expect soon
to hear of some action of a very important nature between
the two armies. We hear nothing further of privateers, but
the anxiety of the republic is increasing every day, all being
eager to learn what will be the result of the declarations,
threats, and protestations put forth by Mexico, as well as
the preparations made by the United States Government to
repel attack."

MONUMENT TO LIEUTENANT WTLDE.—We under-
stand it is the intention of some of the friends of the late Lieu-
tenant Wylde, R.N„ to erect a suitable monument in Dunbar
churchyard to his memory, and that of his gallant associates, who
lost their lives in the cause of humanity on the 20th ult.—Edinburgh
;Vanes:.

One of the women employed in cutting raga in the
mills of Messrs. Tanner, at Cheddar, lately made the discovery of
a 101. note in ripping open an old pocket. It appears to have been
issued by Messes. Cavenagh and Co., of Bath, who failed in I 825.

a-
ll
tin."ll.lloauotsniest dose (we do not now speak of what is promised), in the
way of ship building, is, to turn out small craft exactly of the
kind which all the odds imaginable would devote to imme-
diate capture or destruction, if we did not know against
what adverse superiority the intrepidity of our seamen can
contend. But it is absolutely wicked, as well as presumptuous,
to permit it to be risked in the sort of contest
against overwhelming forces, to which, as we are now
going on, we are abandoning it, and with it the lives of the
many brave and devoted Britons who will assuredly exhibit
it. Why, we repeat, does the Admiralty studiously refuse
to imitate the example of the United States' Naval Depart-
fl
vdei thesennterof
Depart-
partment in the timely improvement and organisation of the
service confided to it? Is the same petty, illiberal, jealous,
and over-vaunting spirit still in its councils, which, under
the disastrous Secretaryship of Mr. WILSON CROXER, conti-
nued not only to send out, but to build 32 and 36-gun frigates
to fight against the great 44 and 50-gun frigates of America,
because it would have been too great a compliment, forsooth,
to the enemy which his presumptuous incapacity affected to
despise, to build in imitation of their models? The disastrous
issue of so many encounters in which we were worsted by
far superior force, the ships of the enemy being equal always
to higher rates than those to which they nominally belonged,
and far outdoing us in the calibre and weight of their metal
and their manning ; this disastrous issue might have taught
the present Board of Admiralty, assuredly, the wisdom of
our not being left, in the event of a war, to commence opera-
tions with the most essential arm of our naval force re-
duced in strength and magnitude far below those of the
same arm belonging to our antagonist. We cannot
believe that Lord HADDINGTON or Sir GEORGE COCKBURN
would willingly countenance any feeling of rivalry so low-
spirited and paltry as that which we firmly believe to have
been mainly instrumental to the war with America of 1812.
Yet,why is it—and the fact cannot be too often impressed on
our readers—that when the formidable superiority of large
steamers has been so signally tested in the enterprises of
commerce, and the extension of all intercourse and corre-
spondence between the remotest points of the globe, by
the noble vessels such as the " Great Western"
and the " Great Britain," produced by our pri-
vate builders, the Royal Navy should be altogether
deficient of steam-ships capable of competing with
those which America has built or Russia possesses? Not a
moment should be lost, we venture to insist, in getting afloat
at least one such gigantic thunderer, to serve as a nucleus for a
fleet of worthy consorts. .If the requisite tonnage and arma-
ment cannot be readily combined, for the present, at least, let
the armament be associated with steam power. An example
suggests itself to us as an apt one for showing how this sort of
compromised power could be made in a moment available.
There is, if we mistake not, now lying at Blackwell, in dock,
the " Great Northern " steam-ship. She was built,
very lately indeed—(within a twelvemonth or so)—
on the most useful and important principle of combining
all the sailing power and properties adapted to
her enormous length and great capacity, with the
motive power of the screw-propeller. When the wind and
weather serve she is to be sailed without working the latter,
so as to economise her fuel and machinery. These are to be
employed, on the other hand, when tempestuous weather and
adverse winds render it more expedient to apply steam to
the screw. Her trials have manifested her perfect achieve-
ment of these objects, than which we can imagine none
more admirable or valuable. She is built to carry forty
18-pounders. Her great height and her length render her a
most formidable floating battery, and hor facilities of
sailing, steaming, and changing rapidly her position,
are. probably unsurpassed. Whether, being docked,
this noble craft is for sale we have no means of knowing. If

she be, might it not be well worth while for the Admiralty
to become her purchasers ? If not, can there be any objec-
tion to use her lines with any required extensions or improve-
ments in the construction of still superior steam frigates ?
Sir GEORGE COCKBURN, we remember, frankly admitted, as
well he might do, the great obligations the navy of this
country was under to the builders for the Yacht Club, in re-
spect of signal improvements introduced in the art of ship
building, equipment, &c., in turning out some of these beau-
tiful pleasure vessels, which are the admiration of foreigners,
and are justly the pride of the British public,
as well as of their private owners. Why should
the Admiralty hesitate to introduce similar
or analogous improvements into steam-ship building after
the models supplied by the builders of Bristol and Liver-
pool, Greenock and Londonderry? If we are not mistaken,
so strong has hitherto been the prejudice against adopting
a foreign model, that the old Canopus, captured at Aboukir,
ever since she was incorporated into our navy, retained among
all candid or qualified judges the same credit her hull has
acquired in the recent experimental cruise, of being one of
the most perfect specimens that even the French builders
had ever produced. But not a single ship has
ever been laid down on her model, renowned as
it is for symmetry and strength. Can the illiberality of
the 1812 to 1814 administration of the Admiralty be still
alive at its Board, or in some of its subordinate bureaux r
We know not how to bring ourselves to believe it; yet the
matters to which we have alluded raise a strong inference
that such is the fact. And the miserable parsimony with
which the Board has pretended to test the merits of so im-
portant an invention as Captain TAYLOR'S floating break-
water (by laying down small sections of fifty or sixty feet
long only, moored as slackly-is possible off the Hove Coast-
Guard station), strongly corroborate this inference.

We have received Madrid journals of the 18th inst. The
Gazette of that date contains a royal ordonnance, with in-
structions sanctioned by her MAJEsTv fur the organisation of
the new corporations. The same official journal announces
the arrival of Mr. BRUNEL with a party of engineers, to be
employed on the North of Spain Railway. The works had
already commenced. The QUEEN had received a splendid
tiara set with diamonds from the SULTAN, valued at 5,000/.
No business was done on the Bourse on the 18th.

The Paris Moniteur announces that the Government had
received a dispatch from Captain DESFOSSES, commandant of
the French station on the Isle of Bourbon, giving an account
of the unsuccessful attack made upon the fort Tamatave, in
Madagascar, by the French corvettes the Berceau anti
Wee, and the English sloop of war the Conway, with-the in-
tent of repressing the acts of violence and spoliation com-
mitted sgainst the merchants of the two nations. The French
loss amounted to 19 killed and 40 wounded. Tois fort, it
appears, is on the eastern coast of Madagascar, in the coun-
try of the Betimsaras, occupied by the Hovas tribe, who had
subjected the rest of the natives. Before this, Tamatave and
the adjoining country were governed by a native King, under
the protection of the French; but on the occupation of the
territory by the predecessor of the present Queen, the French
undertook an expedition against him, captured the
town, which was afterwards evacuated on t` e conclusion
of a treaty of peace and commerce. The present Sovereign,
who is styled Queen 111ANJAKA, violated this treaty as regards
France, and at the same time adopted hostile measures against
all foreigners who refused to become naturalized subjects of
her MAJESTY. The following letter from the Isle of Bourbon,
which is published in the Journal des Debats, gives an account
of the attack, with its unfortunate results:
" The Government of Bourbon having been informed that
by a decree, to be carried into Immediate execution, all fo-
reigners in Madagascar were bound to get themselves made
naturalized subjects of the Hovas, under pain of expulsion, the
French corvettes Berceau, Captain Remain Desfosses, and Zelee,
Lieutenant Fierreck, having on board detachments of ma-
rines for reinforcing the garrisons of St. Marie and Nossi Be,
sailed for Tamatave, where they were joined by the English
sloop.of- war Conway, to demand explanations, and, if neces.

sary, to protest against the decree. The French and English
commanders united in endeavouring to enter into communication
with the Hove Government, and wrote to the Queen, requesting a
suspension of the measure. All was in vain. Their letters were
not only unanswered, but were never forwarded to the Queen.
The dwelling of a French merchant was plundered, and in conse.
quence a landing was resolved upon. Unfortunately, no precise
information as to the state of the fortifications and the real lorce
of the Novas could be obtained. About 300 men, French and
English, were landed, under the command of Lieut. Fierrick.
Theyadvanced, and carried with the bayonet the first redoubt, al.
though it was well defended. The same success attended an attack
upon a second redoubt, which was much stronger. But these
gained, the assailants found themselves opposed by a wall, twenty
feet high, well furnished with artillery, and girded by a deep ditch.
The disappointment and vexation of the small but brave band, on

finding before them an impregnable fortress, and the necessity for
a retreat, may be easily conceived. But both French and English
had sustained considerable losses. M. Bertho, cnseigne de vas-
seau, and M. Ducimetiere, sub-lieutenant of infantry, were killed
in the breach ; and Lieutenant Fierrick, an officer of the marines,
and four cadets in that service, were more or less severely wounded.
Amongst these last is distinguished M. de Grainville, cadet of the
first class of the Berceau, who seized and retained a flag of the
enemy, which both French and English rivalled each other In
endeavouring to gain. The young de Grainville crowned his gal-
lant conduct by dividing the flag, and giving one.half to the Eng-
lish 1 The losses of the English were in proportion to ours, and
among them was an officer."
Of course the affair cannot rest in this position, and we
shall consequently soon hear of another expedition for the
protection of the English and French traders in the island,
The Constitutionnel has a long and lugubrious article on the
state of the naval inscriptions. According to the report
published by Admiral MACK AU, the numbers available were
—On the Ist of January, 1834, 89,524 seamen; the Ist of
January, 1844, 109,410; and on the Ist of January, 1845,
112,462, exclusively of 10,384 marins de recruitement, and
12,810 inscribed workmen. "Upon the first glance," it says,
"this appears to be a gratifying increase, but an inspection
is now going on which will be attended with a diminution of
atleast 18,000, and this must be followed by asecond reduction.
Taking the same bases for the inspection as those of 1834,
upon a number of 12,500, there must be a total reduction of
27,000, which will leave the maritime inscription at 98,000.
Still further reductions must follow, for good seamen enter
the mercantile service of other states because they receive

better pay there, and thus escape from a conscription, which
includes all seamen from the age of eighteen to fifty, with-
out offering an equivalent compensation."
The following are miscellaneous extracts from the
papers :

of Butera, at Palermo, bad been prepared for the reception of the
Empress of Russia and her numerous suite, and that her Imperial
Majesty will be escorted from Genoa to Sicily by three or four
frigates
" A great number of Polish refugees from France, England,
and Belgium, have passed through Leghorn on their way to
Smyrna, where they are t.) assemble preparatory to proceeding to
the Caucasus, to join the Circassians in the war against the
Russians.

According to the Courrier de Marseille, the good people of that
city, and the French generally, have been hoaxed by the per-
sonage calling himself Mohammed Ben Berrour, cousin of the Em-
peror of Morocco. He is neither prince nor ambassador, nor per-
sonage of any importance, and has contrived to leave Marseilles
just in time to avoid explanations, taking away with him a vely
handsome watch that he bad received as a present from the autho-
rities.

" ' Railway projects in Belgium are succeeding each other with
such rapidity,' says the Indepe: dance of Brussels on Monde% , ' that
soone there will not be a single commune without its railroad. At
present two new ones are announced, viz., a line to connect Jem..
mapes with Nieuport by Tournay, Menlo, Ypres, and Dixeriude ;
and another froin B-ussels to Lille by Flobeck, Ellezelles, and
Tournay, with branches to the right towards Deynze by Awide_
narde, and to the left towards the Wight of Charleroi."

The Bishop of London confirmed forty-two young
persons in the British church at Havre, on Tuesday; his Lordship
afterwards proceeded to Caen, to hold a confirmation there.
DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—We are must gratified
to hear that every prospect presents itself of this establish-
ment being highly patronised during the ensuing season,
boxes and stalls being already secured by her Majesty and
her Majesty the Queen Dowager • by the Dukes of Devon-
shire, Leeds, and Beaufort; by the Lords Chesterfield, Shel-
burne, Seaham, Munster, Glamis, Suffield, Erroll, Dupplin,
Pembroke, &c.; Count De oailler, Count Kielmansegge;
Sirs C. Shaker' y, Henry Webb, John Gerard ; Hon. D. Put-
teney ; Col. and Mrs. Fitch; Major White; Messrs. Baring,
Spencer Cowper, Errington, F. Gower, De Bathe, C. Seymour,
Cunoingham, William, Salomons, Goldsmid, Arcedeckue,
Twiss, Clayton, Hume, Beech, &c.
NEW SHELLS AND GRENADES.—Captain Billette, of
the French navy, has recently invented rvw shells and
grenades, which are said to have greater destructive powers
than any hitherto known. These projectiles, when fired at a
ship, do not pass through her side, making a simple hole, but
explode in the act of striking, and cause a large rent, and
spread a combustible matter in every direction which it is
impossible to extinguish, and the ship struck cannot escape
from being burnt. Captain Billette has been appointed to the
command of the Meleager, in which he is to go into all the
ports of France to form depots of his shells and grenades,
and give instructions as to the mode of using them to the
marine artillerymen.
WOOLWICH. SEPT. 25.—(From our Correspon-
dent.)—The Black Eagle steam-vessel, Mr. S. B. Cook, master
commander, left Woolwich at twelve o'clock to.day, with Rear..
Admiral William Bowles, one of the Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty, for Sheerness and Chatham. The Monkey steam-
vessel, Mr. Bryant, master-commander, left Woolwich for Dover
and Plymouth, and conveyed the party that brought the Dragon
steam-frigate to the river back to Plymouth on their return home.
Tice.Admiral Richard Matson visited Woolwich Dockyard to.day,
to witness the progress of the works on the Grampus, 50 guns, and
the Terrible steam-vessel. The latter is having her masts put up.
ST. JAMES'S PARK.—During the last few days a
large number of workmen have been busily engaged in laying
down new iron pipes in St. James's Park, for the purpose of fur.
nishing Buckingham Palace and several of the Government offices
with a more abundant supply of water.
The Duchess of Kent will return to Frogmore
House, from the Continent, this afternoon. The Royal
Duchess will proceed from Dover to the metropolis, and
thence to Windsor, where her Royal Highness is expected to
arrive between four and five o'clock.
The Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn are
entertaining a select party at Arverykie Lodge, N. 8., where
they are expected to remain until the close of the autumn.
DEATH FROM EXCITEMENT.—Yesterday Mr. Baker,
held an inquest, at the Three Colts, Grove.street, Hackney.wick,
on the body of Mrs. Mary Harper, wife of a baker, residing in
Union-place, Bethnal.green. It appeared from the evidence of
the husband that the deceased had an interest in the above public-
house, which is to be pulled down for the formation of the Vic-
toria-park. A knowledge of that circumstance had unsettled her
mind, and kept her in suspense relative to the final disposition of
the property in question. On Sunday week last she was cupped
for pain in the head, and recovered sufficiently to attend to her
domestic avocations. On Monday morning she expressed a wish
to walk out with her husband, and just as he was ready, she was
seized with violent head.ache and pains in the eye. Her husband
immediately hastened for a surgeon, but she expired during his
absence. Verdict, " Natural death."
The Bishop of Exeter consecrated the new church
of Allhallows, Exeter, on Monday last.
NEW STREETS.—The continuation line of street
from Farringdon.street to Clerkenwell is named Victoria-street.
The street from Whitechapel to Spitalaelds, to connect with the
Loudon Docks, is to be called Christchurch-street.
THE HAGUE, SEPT. 21.—Their Royal Hignesses
the Prince and Princess of Orange left the Hague the day before
yesterday for Stuttgard. The Goes Courant says the harvest of rye,
barley, wheat, peas, and oats, which was begun at a good time, and
in fine weather, has been almost wholly got in during three weeks,
in which the weather has been constantly fine. This is to be grate.
Rilly remarked, especially as we have now again much rain. The
quantity and quality are good. The Stoats Courant confirms the
melancholy accounts from Surinam. It says—" Billious fevers
have broken out among the new colonists, of whom 30 are dead,
and several others are confined to their beds." Later accounts are
rather more favourable.
TalE HAGUE, SEPT. 22.—W0 regret to say that
the day before yesterday, and yesterday in the evening, some acts of
violence took place against some mealmen. The police and some
military were soon at hand. Some persons, as we hear, were
arrested. To.day the mealmen's shops were again opened.
BATHS AND WASH-HOUSES FOR TIIE LABOURING
CLASSES.—On Thursday the baths and wash-houses for the
Labouring classes in the pariah of St. Pancras, now in course
Of erection mound the base of the extensive reservoir be-
longing to the New River Company, in the Hampstead-road,
were thrown open for the inspection of the public. The site'
for this building, occupying about 7,000 square feet, bas
been handsomely presented to the committee by the New
River Company at the nominal rent of ss. per year, and the
sum raised by voluntary contributions for the purpose of
the erection amounts to about 6001. The building (the
entrance of which is in George-street, Hampstead-road)
extends around the east, south, and northern sides of the
reservoir, and the arrangements made and rapidly pro-
gressing towards completion will provide 30 single baths,
20 for men and ten for women, 5 vapour baths, and 2 large
plunging baths. In the washing department accommoda-
tion is provided for 64 washing compartments, &c. Ihe
whole of these compartments are exceedingly commodious,
having steam-pipes and all other necessaries for boiling and

cold water, as occasion may require. The plunging baths are
very capacious, the larger being 60 feet long and 30 feet wide,
and the smaller 40 feet by 20. To a poor man or woman the
charge for a separate cold bath containing GO gallons of water
will be one penny, and a warm bath two-pence, fresh water
and clean towels being provided for each bather. There are
a few higher priced baths, differing only from the others in
having more expensive fittings. The charge for the use of
a double washing-tub, with an ample supply of hot and cold
water, of the coppers, drying-room, and ironing apparatus,
will be at the rate of one penny for three hours There is
but little doubt the establishment, when completed, will
prove of great benefit to the poor of the neighbourhood.
The establishment is expected to be got into operation in the
course of a few weeks, although it is stated that 3001. more
is required to effect its completion.

DARING AND ADROIT RCHlBERY.—Thursday, be-
tween the hours of ten and three o'clock, a most daring and adroit
robbery was committed at the house of Mr. Scargill, residing hi
Stanhope.street, Hampstead-road. It appears that Mr. Scargill
and his niece are at present staying at Southampton, the house
being left in charge of an old domestic. Yesterday morning he re-
ceived a letter as he supposed from his master, with directions to
be at the Vauxhall terminus between ten and eleven o'clock, at
which hour the letter stated Mr. Scargill expected to arrive in
town. Thrown off his guard by what he conceived to be a
genuine document, the man was punctual to his time; and after
waiting till after two o'clock returned home, supposing his master hail
altered his determination. During his absence some thieves contrived
to enter the premises, stealing therefrom four 101. notes, some
valuable plate, and many other articles of a portable nature, with
which the robbers contrived to eMet their escape without de-
tection.
RAILWAY ComasioN.—Yesterday morning, in con •
sequence of an accidental collision of trains on the London
and Birmingham Railway, the letters by post were delivered
by an extra delivery.
SOUTH SEA STOCK —On Thursday a Quarerlv
General Court of the Proprietors of South Sea Stock was held at
the Company's house in Threadneedle-street, Mr. C. Franks, the Su-
b in the chair. The Court was very thinly attended.
The minutes of the last Court were read and confirmed. The
chairman then said that the present was a half.yearly general
Court, held in pursuance of the charter, at which it was necessary
to elect a Committee of seven gentlemen to inspect the bye laws.
He then read the names of the gentlemen forming the present Com-
mittee, and said that each of them had the necessary amount of
the Company's stock (2,0001.) to qualify them to be on that Com-
mittee, and he should, therefore, move that they be re-appointed.
The motion was put and carried. The chairman then said that,
_ . _

in pursuance of one of the bye-laws, an account of the bond debt
of the Company would now be read. The secretary read the ac-
count, after which the chairman said there was no other bueiness
before the Court, and it was thereupon adlotirned.
