THE WARWICK AND LEAMING-
TON RAILWAY.
LEAMINGTON, MONDAY EVENING.—To-day this
' line, connecting Coventry, Kenilworth, Leamington,
and Warwick, by means of the London and Birming-
ham Railway, with the metropolis, was opened. The
line is about nine miles long, and 1.20 from town,
being within four hcurs' journey of the metropolis.
It has been constructed under the superintendence of
Mr. Robert Stephenson, is what is technically called
a single line, has cost 170,0001., and has taken 18 months
to complete. On Monday last the Directors of the
London and Birmingham made an experimental trip
over it, accompanied by Major-General Pasley, the
Government Inspector of Railways, starting by the
six o'clock, a.m., train from London, and after exa-
mining the most important points upon the line,
reached Leamington at twelve, and partook of a cold
collation. They returned by special train to town,
General Pasley expressing himself highly satisfied
with the works and general engineering. One of the
main advantages of this extension will be the facilities
it will confer on the inhabitants of the southern dis-
tricts of Warwickshire for the economical supply of
coals. The line is of a singular construction, being
a continued series of ascents and descents, form-
ing an undulating surface from terminus to
terminus. Kenilworth, the only station between
Coventry and Leamington, is five miles from the
former, and three and three-quarters from the
latter, is situated on the outskirts of the town, and
within a stone's throw of the castle. It is built of
Kenilworth stone. The Leamington station is ele-
gantly constructed in the Roman Doric style, and is
situate in the main road between Leamington and
Warwick, at a place called Emscott, in the parish
of Millverton. A continued series of cuttings and
embankments occur throughout the distance. The
branch diverges, by a sharp curve, out of the main
line at Coventry, and preserves an undulatory course
to Leamington, a perpetual impetus being kept up
between the ascents and descents. One of the prin.
cipal works is that of the Milburn viaduct, prettily
situated in the centre of a valley, and composed of
seventeen arches of red brick faced with stone. Then
follows a timber bridge of fifty feet span, uniting
the roads of Leek-Wootton, Hill-Wootton, and
Stoneleigh, with Guy's Cliffe—so named after the
celebrated Earl of Warwick. The Avon viaduct, a
beautiful structure, is composed of nine arches o
sixty feet span, in the neighbourhood of the pro-
perty of the Hon. B. Percy. The Leamington sta-
tion is somewhat inconveniently placed at a dis-
tance of one mile from both Leamington and
Warwick, and the fact of its being only
a single line is probably attributable to the
extortionate demands on the Company for land, which
in some instances had to he purchased at 7001. and
800/. per acre. The principal part of the line runs
through the estate of the Earl of Warwick and Lord
Leigh, the latter of whom has had the family escut-
cheon engraved in very beautiful style in large
granite characters in the front of one of the bridges.
The first train to-day started from the Leamington
station at twenty minutes past eight in the morning,
its departure being witnessed by a large proportion of
the population of the town, who continued during the
day to throng the various avenues to the line, await-
ing the arrival and departure of the trains, which
performed the distance (nine miles) in between
eighteeen and twenty minutes. The event was cele-
brated by a public dinner of the inhabitants at the
Regent, the principal hotel in the town, where about
100 gentlemen sat down to a sumptuous dinner pre-
pared by Messrs. Breach and Jeffry. Captain Mus-
grove, R.N., took the chair, supported by Dr.
Jephson, Hon. Colonel Cathcart, Hon. W. Somer-
ville, Dr. Middleton, Rev. H. Harper, Captain Mor-
gan, Mr. Hanbury, Mr. Drinkwater, and several of
the fashionable residents.
Formerly the distance between Coventry and
Leamington occupied about an hour and a half ; by
- rail tbedistsace will be dose eighteen minutes.

COMMON SENSE.
Common sense is the best of all sense, and it is ne
small recommendation of the principles of free trade
that they have been described by the Secretary of the
Home Department as those of " common sense."
The principles of monopoly, and the practices of
monopoly, are, therefore, opposed to common sense.
Common sense means that which every body, in
their straightforward course of life, would act upon,
If there he one road hilly and circuitous, another
straight and level, common sense would lead the tra-
veller to take the latter in preference to the former.-
We universally prefer good articles to bad ones, cheap
articles to dear ones; common sense prompts us to
this. Hence it is, sophisticated as we please, that we
cannot resist the conclusion that free trade, which
means buying good instead of bad, cheap instead of
dear articles, is "common sense."
Common sense, again, may be considered as that
which guides the every-day actions of the mass of the
people. " Where is the cheapest shop for potatoes r
" Where do you get the best flour, and most for
money ?" I al ways get best served with tea awl
coffee at such a place." Peter so-and-so kills capital
meat, and sells it lower than any body in the row."'
These are the expressions of common sense, and de-
velop its workings among the people at large.
Why should we depart from these in national
matters ? Why should we buy in the dearest market,
and sell in the cheapest? Is there any common
sense, or any other sort of sense, in placing a barrier
in the way of those who would bring us plenty
of the best food, and at a much lower price than
we at present give ? Is there any sense in saying
to the nations, " We will not sell you our cloth-
ing; we will not allow you to employ our people, be-
cause you can only pay us in food, though it be the
article of all others we want most
We do occasionally hear of exclusive dealing, but
it is deprecated by all persons of good sense or good
principles. Monopolists' notions, however, are all
on the exclusive dealing principle. England says
to America, we could do well with your flour,
your hams, and your cheese ; but we have a grudge
against you, and we will punish out. own people
in order to punish you. Every monopolist nation
makes enemies instead of friends, and thus violates
the great. principle of common sense. Exclusive deal-
ing on one side begets exclusive dealing on the other,
and hence arise feuds, and wars, and bloodshed.
Peace is common sense, and free trade leads to peace.
—The Struggle.

WELSH OYSI ENS.

SWANSEA, DEC. 6.—Some months ago we di-
rected public attention to the systematic devastations
committed by persons coming from various parts of
the English coast to take oysters from the fisheries
at this district at improper seasons of the year.
We then expressed our hope that Members of Par-
liament, and others influentially connected with the
district, would exert themselves in endeavouring to
obtain some stringent legislative enactments to
put a atop to such depredatory practices.
After the more immediate business of the council
meeting, held on Friday, had been cencluded, our
respected representative—whom we are happy to see
once more among his constituents, on his return from
the Continent, now that he is for a season relieved of
his Parliamentary duties—called the attention
of the meeting to the subject, which, • like all
subjects connected with the local welfare of
the district, had occupied his attention during his stay
in town. He stated the results of. conferences held
with various members of the Board of Trade. It appears
that the intruders consist of persons who, excluded
from the French coast by the terms of the articles en-
tered into between the two countries for the mutual
protection of their fisheries, periodically visit our
fisheries, and convey away large cargoes of the
brood of oysters, which they deposit on certain
parts of the English coast, until they grow to a size
sufficiently large to be redredged when the season
arrives. By this means our fisheries, originally pos-
sessed of considerable resources, have been greatly
deteriorated, and unless protected, they will unques-
tionably be destroyed. The evil does not arise
so much from the quantity taken, as the
destruction following the disturbance of the
brood ; the effect being analagous to that resulting
from taking a salmon in spawn, when the public are
deprived, not only of the one actually taken, but of
hundreds, if not thousands, besides. When it is
considered that upwards of fire hundred families
are dependent upon their exertions in the oyster
fisheries of this district, extending from the
Worm's-head to Aberavon, it must-l*, allowed that
the subject is one of considerable impoitance ; and
we are happy to learn, from Mr. Vivian's observa-
tions, that the Board f Trade contemplate bringing
forward measures to suppress such piratical practices.

ADDISCOMBE.—The half-yearly public examination
at the East India Company's Military Seminary was
held on the 9th inst.. in the presence of the chairman
(John Shepherd, E.g.), the deputy chairman (Sir Henry
Willock, K.L.S.), several members of the Court of Direc-
tors, and a numle r of military and ether visitors. The
class brought forward (.ensisted of 32 gentlemen cadets.
From these, ten re selected for the Engineers, viz.,

Third class—G. Chapman, fourth pod conduct.
BUT IN THE CIIEAEEST AND SELL IN THE DEAREST
MARKET.—That we should " buy in the cheapest
market and sell in the dearest," is undoubtedly the
maxim of political economy. It is often reprobated,
but with what reason ? Why is an article
cheap, but because it is abundant ? Why
dear, but because it is scarce in proportion
to the want ? Those who inhabit the locality of the
two supposed markets, are alike inconvenienced ; these
from a superfluous supply, those from a deficient supply.
Acting on the above maxim, the merchant who buys
from the one assists in obviating the evil of superfluity.
and raising the price so as to repay the producer ; and
when he sells in the other, the act tends to lower the
price, and remove the evil of insufficiency. He benefits
both parties, and has his own advantage in recompense
of his services. Let him spend a fortune in doing
the reverse of this. He will make the cheap market
cheaper, and the dear market dearer. Those will
have more who had too much, and those have less
who bad too little. The man deserves to be beggared
for his pains. It is the punishment of Nature and
Providence upon his pernicious folly. And, eventu-
ally, Nature and Providence will beggar the nation
whose laborious children are compelled to buy their
food artificially dear, and, consequently, sell their products
artificially cheap, by the class-cupidity, or the wrong-
headedness of their legislators. Beggary for beneficence
is honourable. But the beggary whose blundering has
only beggared others, is neither moral nor Christian : it
is condemned for wickedness unless excused by imbeci-
lity.—The Struggle.
Immense quantities of cod-fish have been caught
off this town, about a mile or two out, during the pre-
sent week. They have been sold remarkably cheap, a
fine fish, upwards of 201bs. weight, fetching only from
Is. 6d. to 2s. Large numbers, weighing 161b5., have
been sold at ls. each.—Brighton Ilerutd.
THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SIOW. —The
whole of the splendid cattle and stock, together with the
implements and various other specimens connected with
the agriculture of England, intended for exhibition at the
ensuing anniversary of the Smithfield Club Cattle Show,
have arrived at their destination, and )esterdity the
judges performed the duty of making their inspection,
and awarding the various prize a given by the Clitb. The
number of cattle as well as stock is much greater than on
any previous occasion, and it. is stated that there is scarcely
a county in England but is represented by e spevitcon of
some description or other, and the animals font) Statlund
are considered as of a very superior quality. !A casualty
has taken place which is much to be regretted, as it has
deprived the exhibition of one of the finest first ciass spe-
cimens of cattle. It appears that a very splendid Dur-
ham ox, which arrieu at the bazaar on Saturday, was
soon after, either from its extreme fatness, or sonic other
cause, found to be in such a condition that it was im-
possible it could survive, then fore it was deemed ad-
visable with the consent of the owner, whose name has
not transpired, that it should be at once killed, and this
decision was speedily curried into effect.

A tenant (or gentleman) farmer, living near Luton,
stated in the market-room last week, that he sowed six
acres of land with wheat, which was destroyed in the
winter by game ; he. broke up the ground and sowed it
with barley ; one-third of it was likewise devoured by
his landlord's stock without new athantage to himself :
this is only a part of the injury he annually experiences.
The farmer cannot look on the poacher as an unwelcome
intruder on his land, when his operation tends to pro-
tect his growing crops from such destructive ravages, and
caused by those most solicitous to be considered their
friends.—Aylesbury News.
POACIIING IN NORTIIIIMBERLAND.—On the night
of the 29th ult., the preserves of Felton-park and Swar-
land were visited by a large gang of poachers, who got
clear off with a heavy load of booty.— Gateshead Observer

SFRIOUS AFFRAY WITH POACEIERS.—On Monday
a sanguinary conflict took place in the preserves of
Langley, near Lanchester, the property of the Earl of
Durham, between six of the watchers and five poachers,
the latter armed with bludgeons. Two of the watchers
were most dreadfully beaten, so much so that their lives
were considered in imminent danger. None of the
poachers were captured.—Gateshead -Observer.
