RAILROADS IN THE ISLE OF WIGHT.
That the public may not be misled by the various statements
that hare appeared in the public papers, and in the pro-
spectus of the Isle of Wight Railway Company, I am
desired to state, that at a general meeting held at New-
port on the 2Gth of June last, resolutions were carried,
declaring the opinion of the meeting to be adverse to the introduc-
tion ifrailways into the island, and that a Committee of gentlemen
was, at the same time, appointed to watch the proceedings of the
railway projecters ; and I am fUrther directed by the Committee
to state, that not only will the scheme be opposed by the most influ-
ential lanrted proprietors through whose estates the railways would
pass, hut that it is also intended to ofer a vigorous public opposition
to the project in Parliament,. should a Mill be sought for.

P.S. Another scheme having been preliminarily announced as the
Direct Ilyde and Ventner Railway. I am instructed by the Com-

AMERICAN NEWS.

FURTHER EXTRACTS FROM THE AMERICAN PAPERS.
(From the New York Tribune).
The OREGON QUESTION.—The first Monday in December
will witness the assembling in Washington of a new Con-
gress, for a session which will doubtless be a long one, and
probably make its mark on our country's annals. Mr. Polk, if
we can judge from the indications given by his organ, has de-
cided not to compromise the Oregon difference, nor to sub-
mit it to arbitration, nor vet to allow the stipulated joint
occupancy to continue:, His message will insist on our
right. to the whole region bounded by Mexico (Upper Cali-
fornia) on the south and Russian America on the north—
that is, all the American continent west of the Rocky Moun-
tains between 42 deg. and 54 deg. 40 min. North latitude.
To this extensive but ragged and mainly sterile region we
have given the name of Oregon, and lay claim to it
as our rightful, indisputable territory. Great Bri-
taro virtually says,—" You think your right to this re-
gian better than ours, but we think ours better than yours
—how shall we settle it ? We consider the country of
little value, and don't want to quarrel with you about it.
We will compromise, or arbitrate, or leave the matter as it
is. Make your choice, or propose something better." " No,"
answers Mr. Polk, per order of the Empire Club, "wo
won't compromise, nor arbitrate, nor leave it as it is.
We will take the whole at once, and take it by force
if necessary. Get out of the way, or the locomo-
tive will run over you !" Now England, though she
cannot consider Oregon worth a war, will not be
bullied or driven out of it. She will say, " Messieurs
Empires! you cannot settle an honest difference with us in
this unceremonious way. If you choose to go ahead in the
rough-and-tumble fashion, we have a word to say. We
will just send a fleet to the mouth of the Columbia, put a
good fort there and garrison it with a couple of regiments,
and if you choose to take it, we'll see." This is the
point to which we are now tending, and the mis-
chief-making portioa of the press in each nation is in-
dulging in bullying, irritating remarks against the
other nation, the English journals saying, "the United States
dare not go to war with us—where will they sell their cotton ?"
and our total-depravity press responding, "England dare not
resist our taking possession of Oregon—she can't possibly do
without oar cotton," and so on. They seem to forget on both
sides that, if nations never went to war until a wise self-interest
dictated such a course, peace would be unbroken and universal.
But if each is left to calculate so confidently on. the pru-
dence of the other, the Governments will yet be pushed into
an attitude which will render inevitable a war or a loss of
what duellists and cut-throats in general term honour. It is
our national misfortune to have at this crisis a President too
weak to recede from a false position, however horrible the
consequences of persisting in it. We look, therefore, for in-
ternational trouble and difficulty, for deep-seated irritation
and expensive armaments, for a paralysis of industry and
revulsion in business, as not far distant if Mr. Polk in
his forthcoming message takes such a stand with regard
to Oregon as is now foreshadowed by his intimate
counsellors, and is sustained in it with anything more than
words by Congress. The actual commencement of hostili-
ties must be more distant—we hope, far less probable—but
the downward road is proverbially an easy one, and if
the two nations once begin bullying, presuming on the
forbearance of each other, who shall ensure a peaceful
end of it? The nonsense which is habitually inflicted
on an enduring public with regard to this matter would
be sufficiently absurd to amuse if it were not criminal
and perilous. Just think of our Tammany-and kindred re-
selves that every foot of Oregon up to 54 deg. 40 min. belongs
to us, and shall be maintained by the sword if necessary,
when not one-tenth of those who yell "Ay" to the sentiment
have ever examined the evidence or taken any pains to
form an impartial judgment in the premises. It is by
such yells as these, with corresponding abuse of " Fo-
reigners," "British," &c., that nations are plunged into
the state of wholesale murder, universal destruction,
and unimaginable misery, known as war. That a
vast majority of our people are averse to a war for the
insignificant territory actually in dispute, we do not believe;
but a good part of this majority prefer to sit in their slippers
and easy chairs, and let public opinion be formed and di-
rected mainly by Captain Rynders and gentlemen of his class.
The former are only dragged forward in season to foot the
Bill. That the evil we apprehend may yet be prevented by
patriotism and firmness on the part of the more enlightended
and virtuous portion of our citizens, we do indeed believe ;
but will it be? Judging from the result of our city election
we should say not, decidedly. Let us all act for the best,
and we may then fairly hope for it.

COPPER AT TIIE WEST.-It appears by the accounts from
Detroit, that the copper operations in the vicinity of Lake
Superior have ceased. It is supposed that the operators
have not met with their anticipated success. It is perhaps
unfortunate for those who have invested their money in this
sort of speculation, that the work of " getting out orC should
have so suddenly stopped. We shall soon seelliWwever,
what effect this movement will have upon the value of the
copper stocks in market.—New York Herald.

CROPS IN TEXAS.
The New Orleans Delta condenses the news of the state of
the crops in Texas as follows :
CORN CROP.—The corn crop in the Red River and north-
ern counties has been greatly injured by the drought. The
editor of the Northern Standard mentions that the neigh-
bourhood of Clarksville is the only section of the Red River
counties where there will be much corn for sale. He states,
also, the corn in the Choctaw Nation is burnt up. Fortu-
nately for the people of that section, the crop of potatoes will
be very abundant.
COTTON' CROP.—The severe drought that prevailed during
nearly the whole of the month of July and August, through-
out the western and middle counties of Texas, has materially
injured the cotton crop. Along the whole line of the Colo-
rado, from Columbia to Austin, it is estimated, says the
Houston Telegraph, that the crop will fall short nearly one-
half. Of the Brazos above San Felipe, the planters will
scarcely make more than two-thirds of an average crop; and
on the Trinity the crop is as light as on the Colorado. In
the eastern counties the crop is said to be better than it is in
any of the counties west of the Trinity. It is probable that
the whole crop of Texas will scarcely exceed ninety thou-
sand bales. Last year it was estimated at over one hundred
thousand bales.

There were shipped from Houston, from September 1,
1844, to August 31, 1845, eleven thousand three hundred and
fifty-nine bales of cotton.

(From the New Orleans Courier of October 25.)
FROM Hawlxam.—The brig Empresario, Captain Col-
lins, arrived here this morning from Havannah. The Vera
Cruz steamer arrived at Havannah on the 6th, but brought
no newspapers. The Picayune publishes a letter dated Vera
Cruz, October 18, stating that there are four American cor-
vettes and two brigs at Sacrificios, and a steamer in sight,
supposed to be the Mississippi. The letter says they are in
constant expectation at Vera Cruz of a brush on the Rio
Grande, which we know to be impossible. The Mexican
Government (says the letter) has no means for carrying on a
war; they have got into difficulties with the French Minis-
ter, and now they are about to do the same thing with the
English. The house of Manning, Mintesh, and Co., bought
the coinage at the mint of Guanajuato for a certain period,
from Santa Anna, advancing the money on the contract;
and now the Mexicans want to annul it, on the plea that
Santa Anna's Government was only provisional. The Eng-
lish Minister has informed the Government that they must
respect that contract, and all others made with English
subjects.

There was a disturbance in the city of Mexico on the 6th
instant—a plot to seize the conducta, and to play some sort
of a game with the names of Gomez Farias, Canalizo, and
Santa Anna ; but it was discovered and prevented.
There must be a revolution, ere long, in Mexico; there is
so much corruption in the Government, and barbarism in the
pe2.ple, that things cannot remain as they are.
TOW-BOAT EXPLOSION.—LAMENTABLE LOSS OF LIFE.—
The tow-boat Persian, Captain Riddle, from:the Passes, with
ships Thothas B. Wales and Tyrian in tow, burst her two

o'clock yesterday morning, two miles below the city, scald

a list :—C. Crowley, first engineer, dangerously ,_icalded ;
George Clinton, mate, slightly scalded ; Mr. Wagner, car-
penter, ditto; J. Arnold, pilot, ditto; Mr. Wood, steersman,

Claiborne after reaching the city; two others, whose names
we could not ascertain, died a short time after the accident.
Captain Riddle and the second engineer escaped uninjured.
The Persian had her boiler-deck carried away from the cabin
forward, with both chimneys and pilot-house; the pilot sold
steersman were in the pilot-house at the time, and both
escaped with slight injury. A piece of one of the boilers
passed up through the cabin and hurricane deck. The tow-

commander of the Mexicans, being an old acquaintance of
Col. Kinney, sent word to him that he should have called to
see him, but was fearful he might be censured. The Mon-

the name of Ni illiam Fislar, who says he lives in Lincoln
County, Mo., and an old free negro man called Richmond,
who has been living here a long time, were caught by Capt.
M'Donough, just as they were pushing off in a skiff with a
slave belonging to Mr. Curie, which they were about to con-
vey to Illinois. Two other negroes, supposed to be slaves,
were on the shore, evidently waiting to be conveyed across.
but on seeing the others arrested, took to their heels and
escaped."

TILE QUEEN OF DENMARK (SISTER OF GEORGE
MO, AN HISTORICAL NOVEL, EDITED DV MRS. GORE.—
Considerable interest has been excited by the announcement
of the above tale of royal life, edited by the most popular of
our female novelists. 61Ve understand that the work pos-
sesses startling claims to public attention, not only as a well-
told and interesting story, but as a most curious and cre-
dible narrative of historical events of the highest interest,
and a faithful picture of the manners of the Court of Chris-
tian VII. So truthful are said to be the style and senti-
ments, that instead of feeling ourselves to be perusing a
novel, or even a romantic series of historical memoirs, we
could fancy "The Queen of Denmark" to be the very jour-
nal of some observant courtier—circumstantial as Dingeau,
and artless as Pepys.

I RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
CROYDON AND EPSOM.
On Thursday evening a meeting of tl:e rate-payers of
Wandsworth was held in the vestry.room of the parish
church, to dispose of various parochial matters, but more es-
pecially to receive communications from the Croydon and
Epsoin Railway Company, in reference to the amount offered
to be paid to the parish for the purchase of a parcel cf land
requited by them belonging to the Carshalton estate.
The land in question forms a portien of an estate pur-
chased long since by the parish, out of money left by an
individual known as " Beggar Smith." This eccentric cha-
racter begged his way to London through the county of 1
Surrey, and in most towns, including Wandsworth, he was
relieved. In Croydon and Kingston he was whipped out.
He ultimately became
,an alderman of the City of London,
and, to perpetually mark his sense of the favours he had re-
ceived in the early part of his life, he left, at his decease, in
1627, a stein of money, to be applied in various ways, to those
parishes that had relieved him, and an annual present of a
whip to the overseers or churchwardens for the time being of
Croydon and Kingston.
The minutes of the last vestry having been read and con-
firmed, in which it was stated that the Richmond Railway
Company had undertaken to give the parish 2001. for their
interest in a tract of osier-ground across which this railway
will pass,
Mr. R. W. BARCHARD, the senior warden and chairman,
stated that the churchwardens and overseers had lately
.re-
ceived a notice from the Croydon and Epsom Railway ben-
nem- to the effect that they required a piece of ground at
Carshalton which belonged to the parish, and were wiliing to
give 20/. for the same. He and several of the parish-officers
had made it their business to inspect the land alluded to,
which was the corner of a common field in the occupation of
Mr. Bates; and as it consisted of only twenty perches they
considered that by accepting 201., which was selling it it the
rate of 160/. per acre, they were obtaining a very fair price
for their property, but there was an obstacle in the way which
would be explained by the vestry clerk reading the letter he
had received from the Company. Mr. Upcher, the vestry
clerk, then read the 'Mowing communication :
" 47, Parliament-street, Oct. 19, 1845.
"The Croydon and Epsom, and the overseers of the parish
of Wandsworth.—Referring to the notice from the secretary
of the Croydon and Epsom Railway Company, served upon
you. as vestry clerk of the parish of Wandsworth, to treat for
the purchase of twenty perches of arable common land,
situated in the parish of Carshalton, in the occupation of
Mr. W. Bates, and to which notice the Company have re-
ceived no reply, we beg, on behalf cf the Company, to offer
you the sum of 201. for the said piece of land, such sum to
include the tenant's interest, if any. We shall be glad to
hear from you at your earliest convenience.
" We are, Sir, your obedient servants,
a BURCHELD, dILGOUR, and PARSONS.
"Mr. Upcher, Vestry-clerk, Wandsworth."
The OVERSEER said that, in answer to the letter, they (the
churchwardens-) had directed their clerk to state that there
was no objection to accepting the 20/. for the land, but they
would not undertake to satisfy the lessee's claims. To this
communication they had received no reply. It was now for
the meeting to determine what steps should be adopted in
the matter, or whether the rate-payers, as a body, would dele-
gate the power of arranging the matters to the parochial
officers.
Mr. Pnir.tres thought there could be no objection to sell
the land at 201., and the company must settle with the tenant,
but it would be necessary that the parish should watch the
company, for railway companies were in the habit of diverge
ing, and they might occupy more land than originally con-
templated. In that case he trusted so small a sum as 204
would not be considered an equivalent.
The CHAIRMAN observed that his brother warden, • Mr.
Nicholson, and himself, would see that the parish were uo,
losers.
It was then unanimously agreed that the matter should be
left in the hands of the afore-mentioned gentlemen, but in no
case would the parish undertake to include in that settlement!
the satisfying the tenant.

PROGRESS OF THE NEW RAILWAYS.
We have received the following particulars relative to the
progress and construction of several new lines of railway
(the Acts for the formation of which received the royal
assent during the late Parliamentary sessions) from the en-
gineering officials of the different companies :
EASTERN UNION RAILWAY.—The progress of this line has
been extended with such rapidity, that there is little doubt
but the whole will be completed for public traffic early in
the ensuing spring. It commences in a line with the
Colchester Extension and Eastern Counties Railway, at
Ardleigh, and proceeding thence towards Ipswich, passes
over table land at Manningtree-valley, Dedham, Lawford,
over the river Stour, which divided the counties of Essex.
and Sussex ; it then extends through the parishes of Bran-
sham,
Bentley, Belstead, Wherstead, Ipswich, onwards to
the terminus and junction with the Bury St. Edmunds and
Norwich line. The engineer, in his late report to the Di-
rectors, gave a summery of the work completed as follows :
" The total quantity of earthwork removed exceeded seven
hundred thousand cubic yards, being two -thirds of the whole
quantity required to complete a double road, or seven-eighths
of the quantity which would have been required to complete
the single road (as was the original intention of the Com-
pany). Thirty culverts and bridges have been built, six
miles of permanent road have been laid cut, and thirty miles
of double fencing set up." Siuce that was made a greater
part of the latter-mentioned mileage had been actually formed.
The long timber viaducts over the tidal waters of the Stour
River are almost completed—the foundations have proved
satisfactory. There are several heavy cuttings and embank-
ment" but most of them have been mastered. The largest
of both are through the parish of Bransham, the others are
near Ardleigh, Manningtree, Denham, Lawford, anal Bourn-
brook-marshes. Upwards of 1,000 men and 200 horses are
employed on the works. Mr. Locke's Parliamentary estimates

also in a forward state of completion.
PROTON AND WYRE BRANCH RAILWAYS.—The works
for the formation of these branch lines, namely, the Lytham
and the Blackpool Railways, the former four miles and six
furlongs in length, and the other somewhat less, are all but
completed. The Lytham line is finished. There is no work
of any magnitude on it, excepting in the construction of the
bridges, five in number—three constructed of wood, one of
stone, and the other of bricks. The quantity of earth ex-
cavated was about 100,000 cubic yards. Mr. Bidder is the
engineer.
STRATFORD AND THAMES JUNCTION RAILWAY.—This
line, which will be opened in the course of a short time, will
form an important communication between Blackwell and the
Eastern Counties Railways to Cambridge and Colchester, as
well as other distant parts, Ely, Norwich, and Yarmouth,
and also Ipswich, Bury St. Edmunds, and Harwich. It
verges off the Eastern Counties Colchester line, near the
station at Stratford, where it passes through several meadows
to the edge of Bow-creek, which has been damned in along
the banks to a considerable length, to prevent the water
breaking in on to the line. Its course after leaving that point
is down an incline through High-street, Stratford, between
the Bell Inn and the turnpike-gate. The lino passes under
the main road at a depth of about twenty feet, and an iron
bridge of a novel construction is in the course of erection
over it. It is a corrugated bridge, supported in the centre
by nine iron columns, and was manufactured by Messrs.
Grissell and Co. The crown is divided into sixty-four plates,
each of which has been tested to support an enormous weight.
The entire length is between sixty and seventy feet, and its '
width is about thirty feet. Already one-half of the bridge
is built, and labourers are now employed covering it over
with concrete, preparatory to its being thrown open. The
railway from the bridge shapes a course to the south of
Stratford, passing over a number of meadows adjacent to
West
Ham it passes
Abbey.

the only remains of the abbey, have been pulled down to
make way for the line, and in the excavations for that pur-
pose several relicts of interest were dug up, and have been
preserve& From West Ham over Plaistow-marshes an em-
bankment of a few feet has been raised, and on approaching
the Barking-road, it is the intention of the engineer, Mr.
Phelps, of the Eastern Counties, to carry a bridge up, similar
to the one at Stratford, to admit the line running under it.
The line then takes a circuitous route along the banks of
Bow-creek, to the river side, adjacent to the Trinity House,
where it terminates. Here the company are driving piles
along the river side for some 200 yards, where it is the inten-
tion of making a spacious wharf, so that vessels can come
alongside and unload their cargoes into the luggage trains for
Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex. With the ex-
ception of the bridges, and that portion between Barking-
road and the river, one line of rails are complete, and ballast
waggons are running to and fro. The other line of rails are
progressing fast.
LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY. —An immense num-
ber of workmen are employed on the works connected with
this undertaking. The embankments and cuttings are very
heavy,*and the process of blasting large quantities of stone
that obstruct various parts of the line still continue with per-
fect safety. The lengthened embankment near Carlisle is
completed, and the viaducts at Gatthie are nearly formed.
The capital for the formation of the line is 800,000!.
BRIGHTON AND CHICHESTER RAILWAY.—This line, which
is upwards of twenty-two miles in length (now amalgamated
with the London and Brighton), is in such a state of forward-
ness that the portion from Shoreham to Worthing (a dis-
tance of five miles) will be opened. for the conveyance of
passengers on Monday next. It has been inspected by Ma-
jor Pasley, the Government inspector of railways, and ap-
proved of. The Company's capital is 320,0001.
OXFORD AND RUGBY RAILWAY. —About a quarter of
this line, which, when. completed, will be fifty miles and a
half in length, has been staked out, and excavators aro at
work thereon.
The Lancaster Deviation, the Ashton Branch lines,_ tclocie_
Sheffield and Manchester, and several others, are advao
considerably.
