MIDLAND UNION, BURTON-ON-TRENT,
ASHBY-DE-LA-ZOITCIL and LEICESTER RAILWAY.
The Provisional Committee of the above important line have much
satisfaction in laying before the public the following report from
their eminent engineer, Charles Vignoles, Esq., as to the state of the
surveys:

" 4, Trafalgar-square, London, October 29, 1845.
" have the satisfaction of reporting to you, for the guidance
of the Board, that the progress made in the Parliamentary surveys
for the Midland Union Railway is such, that I am now able to assure
you that the whole of the necessary plans and sections will be com-
pleted in good time for lodgment on the 29th of November.
" I am, Sir, your faithibl servant,
CHAS. VIGNOLES, Engineer.
" W.-Knight, Esq., Secretary, Midland Union Railway."
The Committee have also the pleasure of informing the applicants
for shares in this Company that the allotment is now completed, and
that the letters will be issued with the least possible delay. The
immense number of applicants, and their highly respectable cha-
racter, have made the duty of selection both arduous aad delicate;
and, therefore, gentlemen who do not receive letters of allotment
will be pleased to consider this as a sufficient apology for the omission.

DIRIXT NORWICH.-EAGLE'S LINE.
LONDON and BURY ST. EDMUNDS RAILWAY,

through DUNMOW and CLARE.
The Shareholders and others interested in this line of railway are
informed that the Survey is proceeding rapidly towards completion,
and that regular contracts have been entered into for the punctual
dilivery of the tracings, on the one hand, and the due execution of
the lithographic portion of the work on the other, in ample time for
deposit on or before the 30th November.
Oct. 31, 1845. F. B. EAGLE, Secretary.
The length of the line from Bury to Stratford, as finally set out by
the acting engineer, under the direction of the engineer in chief,
Sir John Rennie, is fifty-eight miles, making a total of sixty-two
miles to the Shoreditch station of the Eastern Counties Railway;
being seventeen miles less than the projected line by Chesterford,
and twenty-four miles less than that by Cambridge ; and making the
distance from Norwich to London one hundred and four miles, in-
stead of one hundred and twenty-five miles by Ely.

BIDEFORD and TAVISTOCK RAILWAY
COMPANY.
The Committee of Management have the greatest satisfaction in
informing their Shareholders that they have received their engineer's
report, by which they are enabled to state with perfect confidence
that all plans and surveys are in that state of perfection that no
doubt can he entertained on this point of their being able to comply
with the standing orders of the Houses of Parliament, and they fur-
ther sincerely congratulate them that In all other requisite matters
they are equally prepared to make all necessary deposits.

The Directors of this Company beg leave to inform the Share-
holders that the deposit of 21. 10s. per share has been paid upon
36,315 out of the 40,000 shares in this undertaking, thus making the
total amount received 90,7871. 10s. Of this sum the Directors placed
out 78,0001. at the current rate of interest early in October last in
three sums of nearly equal amount. The Directors beg to add that
they have paid a gross sum of 4,0001. on account of the surveys for
this line, and of the engineers' and solicitors' disbursements, leaving
(exclusive of the 78,0001. lying at interest as above•mentioned) a
cash balance of 8,8621. 10s., which is now in the hands of the several
bankers to this Company. The residue of the shares, being 3,685,
have never been allotted, having from the formation of the Company
been retained for distribution among such persons as are locally In-
terested in this undertaking.

NOTICE,

Many complaints having been made of the shortness of time al-
lowed for Payment of the Deposits in this Company, and the Soli-
citor not being able to issue the whole of the Letters of Allotment
until 27th instant, the Committee have determined to EXTEND the
TIME for PAYMENT of the DEPOSITS from the 29th instant, to
Tacasnev, the 6th of November next.

The Committee have great pleasure in informing the Shareholders
that the Plans, Books of Reference, and other documents, will be de-
posited before the time required by the sanction of the two Houses of
Parliament. By order,

RAILROADS IN THE ISLE OF WIGHT.
That the public may not be misled by the various statements
that have 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 26th of June last, resolutions were carried,
declaring the opinion of the meeting to be adverse to the introduc-
tion of ralways into the island, and that a Committee of gentlemen
was, at the same time, appointed to watch the proceedings of the
railway projectors ; and I am further directed by the Committee
to state, that not only will the scheme be opposed by the most influ-
ential landed proprietors through whose estates the railways would
pass, but that it is also intended to offer a vigorous public opposition
to the project in Parliament, should a Bill be sought for.
C. W. ESTCOURT, Hon. Secretary to the Committee.
P.S. Another scheme having been preliminarily announced as the
Direct Ryde and Ventnor Railway, I am instructed by the Com-
mittee to state that this latter will meet with the same decided
opposition as the former projects.

REGISTERED PROVISIONALLY.
I. HUDDERSFIELD and EAST and
WEST COASTS DIRECT RAILWAY.
The Provisional Directors have the satisfaction of informing the
shareholders that, in addition to the beneficial arrangement effected
with the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway and Canal Company,
already announced, they have also brought to a satisfactory conclu-
sion the pending negotiation with the Committee of Management
of the Hull and Barnsley Junction Railway Company, whereby the
support and co-operation of that Company is secured to this line.
By such recent arrangement, the proposed lines of this undertaking,
and of the Hull and Barnsleyßailway, are to form a junction together,
at or near the Midland Railway; by means whereof, and of the
several existing and other projected railways, when completed, it is
considered the original design of this undertaking, namely, that of
connecting Liverpool, Manchester, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Goole,
Great Grimsby, and Hull, with a communication to the metropolis,
from or near the Cudworth Station of the Midland Railway, by one
continuous and a more direct and shorter line of railway communi-
cation than at present exists, or is proposed by any other scheme now
before the public, will be accomplished, and that, too, at a saving, in
outlay, of more than one-third of the original proposed capitel of the
Company.
Besides the advantages before offered to the public by this under-
taking, the recently declared intention of the Huddersfield and Man-
chester Railway and Canal Company, to extend their line to Brad-
ford, when carried into effect, enables this Company, by a short
branch of one mile (or thereabouts) in length, to connect together,
by railway communication, the two important manufacturing towns
of Barnsley and Bradford.

The Allotment of Shares having taken place, the Directors feel it
due to state the following reasons in explanation of the disappoint-
ment which doubtless will be experienced by many of the numerous
and highly respectable individuals whose applications have been un-
avoidably either greatly reduced, or not complied with, and of the
arduous and delicate duty which the Directors have had to perform.
Ist. By the recent arrangement with the Hull and Barnsley Junc-
tion Railway Company, the capital of this Company has been re-
duced, from One Million sterling, in 50,000 Shares, to 650,00Q1. in
,st, (Shares.
By the arrangement with the Huddersfield and Manchester
Railway and Canal Company, one-third of such reduced capital had
to be divided, rateably, amongst the Shareholders in that Company.
3d. After awarding an unusually limited number of Shares to
each member of the Provisional Committee, and of the Provisional
Directors, and making the necessary reserve for landholders and
others locally interested, there remained less than 8,000 Shares for
distribution by the Directors, whilst the number of Shares applied
for considerablyexceeded 300,000.

Under the above circumstances and difficulties, the Directors, in
distributing the small number of Shares at their disposal, have felt it
their duty to give a preference to parties whom they believed most
likely to contribute to the traffic of the line.

The Directors have the pleasure of announcing that great progress
is made in the surveys, &c., and they entertain no doubt that the
same, and all other necessary matters, will be completed in bullicient
time for the ensuing session of Parliament.

OPPOSITION to CHURCH-RATES.
On Thursday a most numerous meeting of the inhabitant
rate-payers of the district parish of St. John, Notting-hill,
one of the newly-erected churches in the parish of Kensing-
ton, was held pursuant to public notice, in the Vestry-room
of St. John's Church, for the purpose of making a church-
rate fir warming and lighting the church, for payment of
the organist, beadles, and pew-openers' salaries, and for such
other expenses as are necessary for carrying on and ma;-,i.

kr. ROY, of the firm of Roy, Blunt, and Company, soli.
citors, who is the incumbent's churchwarden, opened the
business of the meeting by moving " That a rate of twopence
in the pound be made forthwith towards the repairs of the
church of the said parish, the expenses incidental to the
maintaining divine service therein, and for and towards the
defraying and indemnifying the churchwardens of the said
parish, and for all other necessary costs and expenses, they
may be at or put unto touching and concerning the said
office of churchwardens."
Mr. GARRARD seconded the motion.
Certain HOOD, R.N., then came forward, amidst loud
cheering, and proposed the following amendment :—" A rate
for .the district parish of St. John's, Notting-hill, being con-
trary to the interest of the parishioners, and inexpedient, it
is hereby resolved, that the rate proposed be not agreed to,
as the church was built, in part, by subscriptions raised on
the express conditions that it should be supported by its pew
rents, awl the signatures of only 110 persons, who caused it
to be made a district parish, for ecclesiastical purposes only,
can in no way relieve the trustees and Building Committee
from the pledges on which the money was raised to build
the church, except for its necessary repairs, when absolutely
required."
The CHAIRMAN proceeded to put the amendment to the
vote. A forest of hands was held up for it, and but a small
minority for the original motion, upon which the Rev. Gen-
tleman said he must acknowledge that the majority were in
favour of the amendment, a declaration which was received
with tremendous cheering.
Mr. ROY then demanded a poll, which was subsequently
proceeded with, and at its close in the evening the numbers
were—.for the rate, 55 ; against it, 45 ; the poll will finally
cease at five o'clock this evening. The voting is taken
under Sturges Bourne's Act, which admits plurality of votes.

SUICIDE OF A GIRL IN HYDE PARK.-Thursday
forenoon, about nine o'clock, one of the men belonging to the Royal
Humane Society noticed a girl, apparently about 13 or 14 years of
age, Fitting on one of the seats on the south shore of the Serpentine
River, opposite the Society's receiving- house, without a bonnet. He
crossed the water, and asked the girl what she did there, when the
answered that she was looking for her bonnet. The man told her
she had better go home than sit there without a bonnet, not suspect-
ing that so young a creature could meditate suicide. She then
jumped off the seat, and ran away as if in fear. About an hour
afterwards she was seen to come over the bridge dividing Ken-
sington-gardens from Hyde Park, and walk along the north shore of
the Serpentine for about one hundred and fifty yards, and then throw
herself into the water. The man who saw her, instead of immediately
hastening to the receiving-house and giving information, merely told
the gate-keeper of Kensington-gardens of the circurnstane and left
without pointing out the exact spot. The gate-keeper immediately
sent to the receiving-house, when the dregs were used, but, owing to
the spot not being knoWn, the body was not found until full twenty
minutes had elapsed. It was immediately conveyed to the receiving-
house, and the u--ual means for restoring animation were for sometime
per- everingly tried, but without avail. The deceased, who :had
brown hair and hazel eyes, was dressed in a lilac and white che-
quered dress with small black spots, unbleached calico shift, white
petticoat with fancy work at the bottom, flannel petticoat, dark stays,
white stockings, and black leather boots. The body now l:es at
Mount-street workhouse.

minds and affections of the people. It is not by such courses •
that her clergymen will accredit their own mission to the
laity at large as the meek and lowly-minded and pious
ministers of a religion of beneficence, purity, and peace. On
the present occasion, fortunately, we are not called on to de-
nounce any startling or revolting crime against the laws of
GOD and of human institutions. But we have to animadvert
on a manifestation, in a beneficed clergyman of the Church
of England, of uncharitable, irritable spitefulness—such as
we cannot peruse without mingled emotions of astonishment
and contempt. On the 28th instant, at the Central Cri-
minal Court, a poor servant-girl, named ANN CRAFT (to
whose good character and moral deportment very respectable
testimony at the close of the trial was produced), was tried
on a charge of having robbed her master, the Reverend
FREDERICK JOHN REEVE, incumbent of Mortlake, Surrey,
of sundry valuable articles—according to his own account—
sheets, towels, bit; of carpets, &c. The case, as stated by
the Reverend Prosecutor, was of the most trumpery descrip-
tion that can be imagined. " The family," preceded by the
prisoner, who had been dispatched the day before to Brighton,
to get their house at that place ready, left town in August
last. The prisoner's luggage was packed in two boxes, the
larger one being removed with her, the smaller being con-
fided to the care of a neighbour. " The family" had in-
structed "the servants," a few days previously, to move in
light marching order ; that is, they were " to take only such
things of their own as were absolutely necessary." At
Brighton, the Reverend Mrs. REEVES (for, like JERROLD'S
Mrs. Caudle, this lady appears to be the Major
Domo), taxed the girl CRAFT, in consequence of
some information, in such severe terms, that the
girl quitted her service, and went to reside for some
days at a neighbouring inn. The Reverend Gentleman
(whose spiritual activity in discharging the duties of his
incumbency we would fain hope is as untiring as his zealous
I energy in the character of a travelling prosecutor), came up
to Mortlake—went to the custos of the poor girl's smaller
box (a Mrs. NERVE), asked for it, got possession of it, and,
with a more than Apostolic insensibility to his own fatigue,
returned with it to Brighton. There he called on CRAFT at
the inn ; and having caused this Pandora-like casket—this
fatal box—to be broken open in her, presence before he paid
her her wages—(for the merciful pastor and his lady had
considerately allowed the young woman to go to the inn,
after quitting their roof, without giving her what was her
due)—the reverend runner found two books, his pro-
perty—the one a school-book, the other an odd
volume of the " Heiress of Bruges," and " other articles
not mentioned in the indictment." Among these other
articles were a pair of silk socks, of which the Reverend
prosecutor, intending to exhibit with effect to the horror of
the jury, the judge, and the Court, involuntarily demon-
strated the holiness and antiquity, by putting his fingers
through, instead of into, the heel The whole of the pro-
perty purloined from " the family " does not appear to have
been of sufficient value to find a ready purchaser in Holy-
well-street or Rag-fair; and its exposition, illustrated by
Mr. CLARKSON'S cross-examination of this benevolent clergy-
man, demonstrated what our reporter mildly terms the
" ridiculous" exaggeration of the value the prosecutor had
put upon them, at the very moment he was taking credit to
himself (good man!) for his reluctance to do the work he had
begun, and the low figure of his appraisement. All the
authority of the respected Recorder could not suppress, we
are told, the laughter and ridicule elicited by this exposure
of the property—and of the prosecutor.:
Now, we do not feel it necessary to press on the reader's
attention the extreme probability that the fact of the articles
being in the young woman's box at all may be fairly at-
tributable to the haste and confusion, under the "marching
orders " we speak of, of a hasty removal, without any sort of
dishonest intention on her part—" the family " being by no
means remarkable, we infer, for the Christian virtues of pa-
tience or gentleness. The things might have been thus put
away, with a good-natured purpose of easing the mistress
of "the family" of some part of her removal cares: for non-
constat that there was any concealment, on the girl's part,
of the place and particulars of the box's deposit. But not
having her defence before us, we cannot argue on any par-
ticular presumption of this kind. We limit ourselves, there-
fore, to contending for the general hypothesis of her inno-
cence as deducible from all the facts. The Reverend Gentle-
man's some three or four servants had been discharged in the
course of twelve months ; but the reverend lady, with a
degree of candour which mistresses of the Caudle school ex-
hibit only in the witness-box, we apprehend, admitted—
under cross-examination—that not three or four only, but at
least twelve, servants had been dismissed by " the family "
in twelve months. What a pattern of HORACE'S a domus et
placens uxor" is here ! How delicious an example for the
whole living of Mortlake of the Christian spirit and the
amiable community of feeling that should pervade the homes
of all the Reverend prosecutor's parishioners. One servant
hired and dischargod per mensem—twelve per annum—seems
to be the rule of this gentle pastor's household. TAYLOR,
another female servant, who proved that she had carried the
little box to NERVE'S house by the prisoner's desire, ad-
mitted, again—on cross-examination—that "in the nine
months in which she was engaged by the family,' no less than
nine servants had been discharged." The Recorder, passing,
perhaps, the most lenient sentence he could do on the verdict
of guilty, remitted the prisoner, not to another gaol, but
simply to fourteen days' longer confinement in Newgate.
Whilst that able and humane judge was passing sentence,
the Reverend Gentleman, in obedience to some " dumb
show telegraphing" from his lady, with great good taste and
exquisite humanity rushed to the witness-box, just as the
Recorder was putting some circumstances of extenuation to
the jury. But though the Reverend Mr. REEVE emulated
the submissive Mr. Caudle in the alacrity of his obedience,
he was emphatically repulsed, and compelled to retire, with
no other or higher satisfaction to his paternal and pastoral
humanity than what might be derived from contemplating
the convulsive sobs, the struggles, the swoonings of the un-
happy woman whom he had placed in the felon's dock on
this trumpery and disgraceful indictment; or the knowledge
that to the public blasting of her hitherto unspotted charac-
ter, and her humble but virtuous prospects, a sentence of
fourteen days' imprisonment in Newgate had affixed the
seal of extinction! Poor, unhappy girl! Most amiable,
most Christian-like of pastors! Let this world judge be-
tween you. In the next—but we forbear.

Madrid journals of the 24th have been received, but they
contain no intelligence of interest, though abundance of
rumours. The Espanol says it is the opinion of many well-
informed persons that the Cortes will not be assembled this
year, but gives little credit to the report. The brother of
Mmkroz had received another appointment, that of Intendant
of the Queen's palace. He previously held the office of
Administrator of Property to the Queen's sister. Some
private business was done in Spanish Stock on the 23d, when
the Three per Cents. were done at 34 for the Account, and
33% for Cash.

We are glad to learn from Paris that a considerable im-
provement had taken place both in French Stock and Shares.
The Three per Cents. bad risen 30c. and the Fives 15c. The
fluctuation in the Share Market was inconsiderable; wherever
a change occurred it was for the better, and the fear of
further depression seems to have disappeared. " The fifth
anniversary of the Blinistry of October 29," says the Can-
stitutionnel, " was celebrated on Wednesday, at St. Cloud, by
a grand dinner, to which the KING had invited all the mem-
bers of the Cabinet. Each year this anniversary is marked
by a new advancement in the Legion of Honour, accorded to
the Ministers who have not yet arrived at the highest grade.
As there was nothing more to do in this respect fur Marshal
SOULT, the promotion was granted to his son, the Marquis
DE DALMATIE." The skill, firmness, and success of M.
GUIZOT leaves the organ of M. Dem% no opportunity for
finding fault. He has been more fortunate than any
previous Minister, not only in keeping his Cabinet to-
gether so long as five years, but in preserving the peace
of Europe, and at the same time increasing the number of his
supporters in the Chamber of Representatives. Nearly all
the late elections went in favour of the Government, and
France rarely has been so quiet as at the present time.
Algiers, it is true, is an unfortunate affair, but that was a
legacy from the old Bourbons, which:the new dynasty can-
not with honour throw up. According to one of the journals
the National, the latest accounts from that quarter are any-
thing but favourable. " The Government," it says, " has
received from Africa a fresh dispatch which it has not judged
proper to publish. This dispatch announces that, after the
affair of Ain Kebira, ABD-EL-KADEB, in place of withdraw-
ing with his cavalry to the Moorish territory, proceeded to
the middle of our possessions, and reached Sidi bel Abbes,
between Mascara and Tlemcen. There he has continued
propagating insurrection among the tribes, and it appears
that he has succeeded to such a point that nearly all the
natives of the west of Algeria are in revolt, attacking our posi-
tions considered most safe from their insults, or withdrawing
en masse either to the territory of Morocco, or to what is called
the desert." According to a letter from Toulon, in the Courrier
Francais, General LAMORCIERE had made a successful razzia
on the two tribes implicated in the surprise of Djemm
Ghazaouat and destroyed a part of the army of ABD-EL-KADER,
and cut off the heads of a thousand Arabs. The story, how-
-1 ever, is utterly improbable, and none of the journals give
credit to it. The Sentinelle says, "If the reports which have
reached us are correct, the insurrection of the Arabs has
greatly extended in the province of Oran. General Lamm-
MERE is said to have arrived in time to raise the blockade of
Tlemcen, which was hard pressed by the enemy. It is added
that he routed and overthrew several Arab corps." A tele-
graphic dispatch from Port Vendres, dated Oct. 28, had been
received by the French Government from General Count DE
CASTELLANE, Commandant of the 21st military division, an-
nouncing that all the troops who were to be embarked at
Port Vendres for Oran had left. The number embarked at Port
Vendres, Marseilles, and Toulon is 9,290, and 987 horses.
The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers :

" The currency of corn," according to the Journal dcs Debuts,

" during the last nine months was much less than during the
corresponding period of the years 1844 and 1843, which demon-
strated the confidence of the public in the agricultural resources
of France, the only country in Europe at present which is not
uneasy respecting tier means of feeding her population. The
quantity of corn in store in France at present is considerably more
than that existing last year (256,000 metrical quintals, in place
of 98,000)."
A recent account has been taken at the Corn-market of
Paris, at the public granaries, and at the stores of the 601
bakers of the capital, of all the flour in hand. It appears that
they contain together a sufficient provision for four months.
The Mcn!(teur publishes the Official returns of the French ins.
ports for the present-year. up to the end of September. The
duties received exceed those of the corresponding period of the
last year, which were much higher than those of 1843. The
month of September, however, taken by itself, is less favourable,
the duties having amounted to only 12 millions of francs, whereas,
in September, 1844, they were 12 millions and a half. ,

" We have already stated," says the Constihaionnel, " that the
Minister ofForeignAffairs had just sent offto Tangiers M. Hamont,
one of the gentlemen belonging to his department. This envoy is
charged to hand to our Consul-General a note addressed to the
Emperor of Morocco. The French Government in this note In-
forms Abderrhaman that it has come to the determination t• pursue
Abd-el-Kader on the Moorish territory. Th• terms of the treaty
concluded with France are called to his mind, and the late events
are adduced as a proof that it has not been executed. the in-
ference is, that the Emperor had failed in his engagements through
want of ability to fulfil them, and France, in consequence, is au.
thorised to do herself justice."

A letter from Florence of the 22d says:—" The emigrations
from Romagna continue. They are already very numerous, and
will still increase, for the prosecutions of thecourt-martial installed
at Rimini are incessant. )t has sequestrated the property of the
emigrants. Amongst estates thus taken is that of Count Beltrami,
one of the richest inhabitants of Bagnacavallo. The five chiefs of
the last insurrection are still imprisoned here, but they are treated
with kindness. They *replaced together in an apartment of fort
Belvidere."

GRANTHAM.--It is rumoured in this neighbourhood
that the turnip crops are infected similarly to the potatoes ; but as
,they do not contain so much starch, the d►sease is not so quick in
its progress, and consequently not so easily perceptible.—Leiceater
Mercury.

SIR ROBERT PEEL.—We are happy to state that
the Premier is gradually recovering from his recent attack of the
tout in his feet.
