vantage of direct railway communication between the town of
Abergavenny and the great iron district of Monmouthshire and
Breconshire, and finding that this district is embraced in the grand
scheme of the Great Eastern and Western Railway Company, does
most cordialli approve of its plans, and is determined to render it
all the aid it can command

THE DIRECT LONDON AND DUBLIN
RAILWAY COMPANY (PILBROW'S ATMOSPERIC).
Performing the whole distance in ten knurl.
(Provisionally Registered.)
Offices, Charlotte-row, Mansion-house.
In Shares of 251. each.
Deposit 21. 12s. 6d. per Share.
It has been stated by the highest official authority during the last
session, that the most direct and speedy communication between the
English and Irish capitals is a desid,ratum of the Government; and
the object of the present undertaking is to afford this accommodation,
which, from the best evidence, can, no doubt, be effected by the
passage from Porthdynllaen to Kingstown direct." It has, there-
fore, beau determined to adopt this line ; and the Committee have
the satisfaction' to state that they are encouraged to do so by many
or the leading proprietors and influential noblemen and gentlemen
in North Wales, and the south and west of England and Ireland.
The line to be formed will commence by a junction, at Birming-
ham, with the London and Birmingham Railway; thence it will pro-
ceed, as nearly as possible, in a straight direction to Porthdyidlaen,
passing through or close by Dudley, Shrewsbury, Bala, and other
principal towns on the route.
The importance, nay, the necessity of such a line has long been
felt, not only by the merchant, but also by:the statesman. This,
therefore, may fairly be considered a great national undertaking;
opening facilities for the most expeditions transit between the two
capitals, it will at the same time offer a most direct communication
with the south of Ireland, via Wicklow ; thus conferring an immense
benefit on the public at large.
Hitherto, the nature of some of the districts to be traversed has
been generally considered as opposing obstacles too formidable for
locomotive transit ; which circumstance accounts for the principa-
lity having thus continued without the advantage of a railway.
Happily, however, such are the advances of science, that the atmo-
spheric can surmount that which is denied the locomotive power ;
and in this respect the plan proposed at once removes every objection
that has been raised against this easy mode of traction. It avoids
the necessity of tunnelling, and greatly reduces the cost of construc-
tion ; and further, it prevents the possibility of accidents by fire or
collision.
Very great obstacles have hitherto existed, and still exist, in the
way of a communication between Bangor and Holyhead ; but by
the proposed, route the great difficulty and expense of crossing the
Menai Straits arc avoided, while the extent of the country to be
traversed will be much shorter than by Chester and Holyhead, even
were the bridge already established ; which, it is very generally ap-
prehended, will beproductive of great hindrance and danger to the
navigation. This fact Wildly confirmed by Captain Beaufort's report
made to the Railway Commissioners of Ireland.
The distance between Porthdynliaen 'and Kingstown is about six
-and a half miles further th An between Kingstown and Holyhead ;
but inconsequence of the position of the latter place being two or
three points to leeward of the acknowledged prevailing gales of St.
George's Channel, a shorter passage can be made, on an average,
throughout -the year, from Porthdynnaen. This -also is confirmed
by Captain Beaufort, as r:ferred to in the masterly report made by
Sir John Rennie ; in which, after going into details (coinciding in
every material point with the opinions of Mr. Page and others), Sir
John concludes with a general summary of the case—" That it is two
points further to windward than Holyhead," and, to use the expressive
words of Captain Beaufort, " has a fair wind both ways to and from
Kingstown." This is particularly important, because it enables the
passage to be made in equal, if not less time, than from Holyhead,
although the distance is rather greater, and is not less important to
maintain the communication between the two countries, during the
stormy wiuter season, with as much speed and as little interruption
as possible.
There are many other, and, perhaps, equally important reasons,
for preference being given to Porthdynliaen (some are mentioned in
the second report of the House of Commons upon the subject of rail-
ways in Ireland), but they are too numerous to mention 1u a prelimi-
nary prospectus.
In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to landholders
and others locally interested; the subscribers will be held liable only
for the amount of their first deposit until an Act of Parliament be
obtained; afterwards only to the amount of their subscriptions.
Power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at the rate of
41. per cent. per annum on all calls, from the passing of the Act
until the opening of the line.
The Provisional Committee have great pleasure in announcing that
, the engineers are completing their surveys, and that influential names
I will be advertised in a few days.

This Railway will commence at the important town of Wolver-
hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, Trysull and
Clavcrley, to the manufacturing town of Bridgnorth ; from thence
it will continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to
Ludlow, and there fall into other projected lines to all parts of Eng-
land, North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty-
two miles.
It will afford direct communication between Ludlow, Bridgnorth
and Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c.; and, by the South Staffordshire
Junction Railway, give to those towns and districts the most direct
route for passengers and goods to and from the Central, North Eastern
and Eastern parts of the Kingdom, and from which those towns have
hitherto been excluded by every project of the day.
It will convey to the agricultural districts of Herefordshire and
South Shropshire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow,
coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire,
and the Clee Hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those ne-
cessary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle,
sheep, cider, wool, hops and other agricultural productions, as also
timber from the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart
of the mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fail to pro-
duce an immense traffic.
To the towns embraced In this line, the value of obtaining thereby,
at the cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will be of the ut-
most importance.
One principal feature in this projection is, that as either Ludlow or
Bridgnorth will Ile in the direct route of one of the projects to be pro-
posed to Parliament in the next session, for the most direct commu-
nication between Ireland and the metropolis, this line will thereby
afford to passengers the easiest communication to and from the cen-
tral parts of the kingdom.
It is satistactory to the promoters to state that they have the sane-
tion of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the
Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire Junction, and
the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no projeet has
been announced in competition with its acknowledgedclaina ou public
support.
The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and can be
constructed at a moderate cost, and has obtained the approval of the
landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly pro-
tected.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the
Company will be under the direction and control of the Committee of
Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into such arrange-
ments as shall best serve the interests of this Company, and tile public,
with existing or projected Companies, and also to nominate the first
Directors of the Company.
[Power will be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of
shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow four
per cent. interest on the calls.
Preference to the allotment of shares will be given to those locally
interested, and to the shareholders of lines in connexion with this.
No application for shares can in any case be attended to, unless
reference be made to one of the Provisional Committee, the SolieitorS,
Bankers, or Brokers of the Company.

This railway is intended to commence at or near Buckfastleigh,
and to join the South Devon Railway at Ford, near Newton ; dis-
tance, ten miles.
This railway, by forming a direct communication with the great
trunk line of the county, will open for the manufacturing towns of
Ashburton and Buckfastleigh, and the adjacent agricultural district,
the readiest access to the ports of Teignomuth and Torquay, and to
the important and increasing markets which these towns and the
other watering places on the south 'coast, as well as Newton, present
for the disposal of all kinds of agricultural produce.
Ashburton and the surrounding district, rich in mineral wealth,
only require a cheap and easy mode of transit to unfold ttheir trea-
sures, which have hitherto been raised only sparingly, in conse-
quence of the expense of land carriage.
Within the average distance of two miles of AshbOrton are thirteen
lime kilns. at which are now burnt annually above 50,000 hogsheads
of lime. Five s'atc quarries, in some of which the slate is of the best
quality, and has received the approval of some of the first London
architects. And within the district which would derive benefit from
this railroad, are six tin and copper mines in work, and three more
are now about to be worked.
The manufactured goods of Ashburt eta and the adjacent district are
of very considerable value—the woollen manufacture alone gives em-
ployment to nearly 3,000 persons.
Large quantities of timber are annually felled and sent to the sea-
coast, from the wooded district at the back of Ashburton.
It has been ascertained that the number of persons travelling from
this district to and from the east of Ashburton, amounts to about one
thousand weekly.
The romantic scenery of the Dart, near Ashburton, now attracts
yearly a great influx of visitors. The opening of this railway would,
by bringing the banks of the Dart within easy access of Exeter, and
all the watering places on the southern coast, doubtless much increase
the number,
• •
To the manufacturer and merchant, the formation of this railway
would afford a great boon, by establishing a cheap and easy transit
for their goOds; to the agriculturist, the saving of one-seventh in the
present price of lime would offer a manifest advantage ; and on the
inhabitants of the district generally great benefit would be conferred
by the reduction of at least 251. per cent. in the price of coal and other
articles.
The Provisional Committee, after.careful inquiries as to the antici-
pated traffic, have reason to believe that the net return will pay a
handsome rate of interest on the capital required.
The population of the district to be benefited by this railway is
above 16,000
The line presents no engineering difficulties.
The Directors of. the. South Devon Railway Company with the
authority of a general meeting of their Proprietors, have agreed to
take shares to a considerable amount, and are acting in cordial co-
operation with the Provisional Committee. The arrangements
ne with
the South Devon Board embrace a provision for leasing the li on
its completion to that Company, and provide for the supervision of
the planning and construction of the line by Mr. Brunel.
The advaptages of attracting to this undertaking the important
combination of interests represented by the South Devon Company
and its numerous alliances will be readily appreciated.
Power will be sought by the Act of Incorporation to allow interest
at 41. per cent. per annum on all deposits and calls from the time of
payment until the opening of the line.
No liability will be incurred by any Shareholder beyond the amount
of his shares.
Applications for shares may be made to the Provisional Com-
mittee, at their office, East-street, Ashburton; or to the Solicitors,
Mr. Tucker, or Mr. George Caunter, Ashburton ; or to the following
Sharebrokers :—Messrs. B. and M. Boyd, New Bank-buildings, Lon-

This railway is intended to branch out of the Oxford and Rugby
line at Southern, and proceed in a direct course to Coventry, there
to form a junction with the lines 'diverging from that city to the
Trent Valley Railway, at Nuneaton, and to Leicester, Burton-upon-
Trent, and Manchester.
ftiThe main; objects of this railway-are —First, to complete an im-
portant link in the chain of communication between Manchester and
the improving port of Southampton by the nearest possible route,
the great and increasing traffic between which two important parts
of the kingdom this railway must necessarily embrace.
Secondly. • It will afford important local advantages by connecting
time city of Coventry and neighbourhood (containing a population of
upwards of 50,000 inhabitants), and the valuable and extensive
manufacturing, mineral, and agricultural districts, particularly the
extensive coal fields, stone quarries, and limeworks of Warwickshire,
Leicestershire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire, with Southam, Ban-
bury, Woodstock, Oxford, Southampton, and the inter nediate and
surrounding country, affording to those several districts all the ad-
vantages of direct railway communication, in lieu of the present cir-
cuitous route by canal. It is confidently expected that the local
traffic alone,• independently of the vast through traffic from Man-
chester to Southampton, will be amply remunerative to the share-
holders, whilst the great reduction which this railway will effect in
the price of Coals and other mineral productions must prove highly
advantageous to the public.
Time survey of the line is in progress, and the country is unusually
favourable.
Application to parliament for an . Act of Incorporation will be
made in the nest session. The Provisional Directors reserve to
themselves time right of amalgamating or making arrangements with
other companies. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Par-
liament, which will he applied for next session, to allow interest at
41. per cent. on the deposit, and the liability of sharehold-rs will he
limited to the amount of their subscriptions.

This Company is formed for the purpose of constructing a railway
in extension of the several important lines which it is intended shall
terminate at or near King's-cross, and the lino will proceed from
thence to a point at or.near Furnival's:lnn and Holborn Bars, where
it is proposed to erect a great central metropolitan terminus. This
terminus will form the north front of a considerable portion of the
widest part of Holborn, between Leather-lane and Gray's Inn-lane.
The site selected is obviously the most convenient for the concen-
tration of the traffic of all the railways issuing from London, either
to the north or in a north-easterly or north-westerly direction.
The situation, moreover, presents very great facilities for exten-
sions, in the direction of the railways, to the east and to the south of
London.
The property necessary to be taken for the line and terminus is
not of a valuable character, and there will be no interference with
any existing buildings of any consequence.
The surveys are in a state of. forwardness, and will be ready to
enable the Company to proceed to-Paillament next session.
The capital has been fixed at 800,0001., but the estimates hitherto
received lead the Committee to expect that a smaller sum may
suffice.
A preference in the allotment of shares will be given to scrip-
holders in the Direct Northern Railway, but this Company is esta-
blished as a separate undertaking.
Applications for shares may be addressed in the meantime to the
Solicitors; in the following form :

This railway will commence at Sheerness in conjunction witti a
short steam-ferry communication from a point at or near to South-
end, on the opposite Essex coast, and will proceed from Sheerness
by Queenborough to Faversham, where it will form a junction with
one of the proposed lines from London by that town to Canterbury
and Dover.
The integral line will be continued from Faversham to or near to
Herne Bay,: and from thence to the South-Eastern Extension
Railway (now being made), at a point near Sarr, and will then pro-
ceed on that line direct to Ramsgate eastwards, and direct to Deal
south-eastwards. From a point between Herne Bay and Sarr the
line will also be carried by a short extension to Margate.

direct line through Faversham, at which place it will meet the Lon-
don lines.
The important town of Ramsgate, now so extensively connected
with continental communication, will also be thus afforded a much
nearer overland route to London.
By means also of this undertaking, in conjunction with the exist-
ing and projected railways proceeding to the south coast of Essex,
the whole of the passengers and traffic from the Northern, the Mid-
land, and the Eastern Counties, will be conveyed to Dover and the
Continent via Sheerness, in preference to a lengthened and cir-
cuitous route through the metropolis, whereby the journey will be
shortened snore than 50 miles, travelling expenses sill be curtailed,
and the serious inconvenience and delay of transhipsment and con-
veyance from one part of London to another wholly avoided.
A glance at the map also will show the immense advantage which
the metropolis itself will enjoy by its being thus afforded other routes
to Sheerness, Margate, Ralllsgate, Deal, and Dover, and the greater
part of Kent. Thousands of persons will proceed direct from the me-
otlei

This railway will connect the important and hitherto neglected
town of .Barnet with the London and Birmingham and the Great
Western Railways, at or near Holsdon-green ; with the Northern
and Eastern and the Eastern Counties Railway, at or near Totten-
ham ; and the proposed Direct London and Manchester, and the Lon-
don and York Railways.
The line, in its course, will unite the town of Barnet with Whet-
stone, Totteridga, llighwood Hill, Mill Hill, Finehley, Holder's Hill,
Hendon, Burrows, Golder's Hill, Gutterhedge, Kingsbury, Neesdon,
Wilsdon, Wiisdon Green. Holsdon Green, Kensall Green, Westbourne

Hackney; Shaeklewell, Dalston, Islington, St. Pancras, Shoreditch,
Blackwall, Enston-square, Paddington, Kensingtbn, Hammersmith,
Brompton, Fulham, Chelsea, &c. ; connecting those places with the
varjous railways named, and all those south of the river Thames.
The distance from the town of Barnet to the station of the London
and Birmingham Railway, at Euston-square, by this route, will be
15 miles.
The length of the main line, from the point of junction at Totten-
ham to the Loudon and Birmingham Railway, will be 11 miles ; and
the length of the branch line to Barnet, will be 414 miles. From the
'junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping Barnet, 9%
miles ; from the Decoy (near 13rent•street, Hendon), on the proposed
Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Railway, to the Northern
and Eastern Counties Railway, by Stamford-hill, 6%
There are no engineering difficulties throughout the entire distance.
The line will proceed beyond the range of the Highgate and Hamp-
stead Hills, and the branch from the main line to Barnet will follow
the valley of the river Brent to the intended station at Barnet; thus
the expense of construction will be less than any other metropolitan
line of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pass through
an agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property and large
collections of houses and buildings.
Upon the completion of this railway, a large and daily.inereasing
population, resident beyond the limits of the metrepolitan omnibuses,
will be largely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto
shoaling an inadequate return to their cultivators, will be quad-
rupled in value.
The ancient, populous, and once-flourishing town of Barnet, too,
wil now have a railwa y communication of its own, w
cithout depend-
ingl upon the caprice or uncertain goodnature of any ompany who
may hold out a prospect of a branch, in future times, from some of
the trunk lines now contemplated.
An ample return of profit to the investments of shareholders may
be safely anticipated, and will arise from the following sources,
amongst others :-
1 1. From the conveyance of passengers.
2. From the carriage of goods and merchandise from the City and
Docks, &C., to the several railways which aro intersected by this
line, avoiding the delay and excessive cost of conveyance through
London ; also from the conveyance of cattle, &c., more particularly
during the period of the large Barnet fairs.
3d. From the conveyance of coal, both inland and seaborne fuel,
and other commodities of general consumption, the great expense
of which has long been felt by all gasses as a most grievc‘s ev,..
The Committee e f illatttgement rwcrve to themselves the power
of adopting, upont his line, locomotive power, or Presser's Railway
guide and safety wheels, as may be deemed expedient.

NEW IRISH. RAILWAY PAPER.
THE progressive extension of Railways through-
out Ireland having, to an unprecedented extent, augmented
the circle of individuals directly interested in obtaining early, accu-
rate, and complete information on Railway affairs, it has been
thought expedient to publish a new Weekly Journal, entitled

Conscious that the support of the public can only be acquired and
maintained by industry and impartiality, the projectors of the
"IRISH RAILWAY TELEGRAPH" will spare no expense to make
their journal a full and faithful record of Railway irs, and pledge
themselves that it will be found honestly pronoun affacing its opinions,
unswayed by individual interests, and untrammelled by the control
of existing companies. Banking, Mining, and Agricultural affairs,
being intimately connected with Railway interests, will find a promi-
nent place in the columns of the " IRISH RAILWAY TELE-

JERROLD'S SHILLING MAGAZINE

This magazine opens as usual with a continuation of
the "History of St. Giles and St. James." St. Giles
has been sent off to the borough of Liquorisb, to join
young St. James, whose retarn for that borough is being
contested by a rich parvenu. The van in which he is
proceeding to his destination is upset, and St. Giles, and
various drunken musicians, who are of the party, are
tumbled into a ditch. Having extricated his com-
panions, St. Giles proceeds for assistance to a neigh-
bouring cottage, which he finds tenanted by Capstick,
the muffin-maker, who, having made his fortune and
lest his wife, had built himself this cottage, which, out of
respect to the memory of Diogenes, he had named " The
Tub," and who had taken 337ightJem to live with him.
St. Giles has previously met Kitty Muggs, now the
widow of Caesar Gum, whose son is a footboy in the
service,of one of the Marquis of St.. James's daughters,
so that we are getting gradually back among our old
acquaintance. "Serving the People" is a pendaxt to the
paper which appeared in the last number on " Serving
the Country," and is well worthy the attention of all
those who wish well to the cause of that social re-
formation which has already begun, and which it is the
glorious mission of this magazine to urge onward. " The
Englishman in Prussia" makes some very curious revela-
tions as to the self-sufficient selfish bureaucracy, which,
by means of its secret police and its organised spy
system, holds paramount sway in that country alike
over the monarch and the people. Of the "History for
Young England" we have the seventh chapter, which is
devoted to the early English Churchmen from the fourth
to the ninth century. It displays great research and
much critical acumen. The friends of "Legitimacy"
would have acted wisely had they consented quietly to
let the statue of Cromwell take its place among those of
the other chief magistrates of England. Such papers as
" Cromwell in the Shades," in the present number of
this magazine, cannot but tell with damaging effect upon
the " right divine of kings to govicru wrong." In
another part of this number we have on this subject the
following magnificent s, nnet—a sonnet which would not
have been unworthy of the muse of " that blind man
eloquent" who, as Foreign Secretary to the Common-
wealth, achieved as mighty victories for his country
Iwith the pen, as his Highness the Lord Protector had
done with the sword:—

ON THE PROPOSED EXCLUSION OF THE STATUE
OF OLIVER CROMWELL FROM THE NEW PAR-
LIAMENT HOUSE.
0 English people, that in Time's long date,
Slow piling stone on stone, have raised on high
A stately house of freedom, where to lie
Secure and smile, though kings beat at the gate:
Do not, in this your ease, do not forget
Those your forefathers, that in times gone by
Did toil and sweat, and all their lives long ply
At the foundations of your free estate.
Hutchinson—Vane—Hampden, that with his blood
Mortared the stones, and that chief architect,
Oliver Cromwell, he whose heavy hand
Smote the false Stuart. Him would they new eject
From his well-earned honours, and o'erflood
With base neglect that ancient glorious strand !

DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.
No. CLIV.

An excellent bill of faie promised in the table of
contents is well supplied by the bulk of the papers which
this number contains. "Ireland and her Church "
(second article) ; " Poetical Remains of the late Mrs.
James. Gray;" "New Zealand;" " The lEsthetical Con-
dition of England ;" "Irish Rivers ;" "The Last Lay of
the Minstrel ;" " The Whychcots—a Leaf from the
Census of 1841;" " A Month in the Highlands;" " Gal-
lery of Illustrious Irishmen ;" " The Outpost Bugle;"
" A Plea for Illusion;" " Sir Robert Peel and the Pro-
testants of Ireland"—these are the principal dishes
which are served up by the editor for our delectation.
The first and the last of them are, of course, strongly
tinctured with a Protestant and Orange hue. re do not
imagine that our readers would thank us for any recur-
rence in this place to daily objects of political polemics
with which they must be aweary. Very beautiful are
the " Poetical Remains" of the gifted lady whose name
they bear; but we have not space for extracts—and, in-
deed, we could only give them at the price of so abridging
her impressive stanzas as to do them grievous injustice.
And yet we are irresistibly tempted to adduce this
charming specimen of her high poetic power :
"I lift with gentle hand the shadowy veil,
How like myself thou art—and yet how pale!
The same dark hair above the lofty brow,
In its still beauty white•and pure as snow.
Thou might'st be sleeping that untroubled sleep
I often watched when resting by thy side,
But on thy face there is a calm more deep,
And on thy lips a rest mere purified;
I touch thy hand—ah, now I feel the change
For when was touch of thine so cold and strange?
And no uplifting of those shadowed eyes
That ever opening looked for love in mine;
No answer to those holy sympathies,
Whose magic trembled from my heart to thine.
My love, my love, it cannot be thy clay
That makes me shudder thus and turn away,
Away from thee—forgive—forgive ! the thought
Was from a momentary terror wrought.
Wretch that I was to dread thee !—Lo, I rest
My head once more upon thy marble breast
As if it were a refuge still. Oh love,
That word of mine could one dear answer move
From these cold lips! Surely th,-,11 still must share
Some comfort from my watching and my care;
Surely we shall net part! Oh Joy for us
If we might ever be together thus—
That I could bear thee even as thou art
'le some lone cavern, where my aching heart
Might have thee to itself, and none intrude
For ever on that sunless solitude!
Nay, is not our own chamber a defence,
Who hath a right from me to take thee hence
From me thy wedded wife?"
" The Wife's Last Vigil," for example, is of so much
unity and such profound pathos, that we could not bring
ourselves to quote any disjointed parts of it. " New
Zealand"—an extended review of the books of Earle,
Brown, Edward Wakefield, Dr. DietTenbach, and Capt.
Wilkes (United States Navy)—is also the best topo-
graphical, statistical, and descriptive paper on this im-
portant colony that we have met with for some time
past. Under the head of " Irish Rivers" we have a
second article on the Blackwater of Munster—a very
agreeable contribution to this interesting department of
our national topography—full of historical anecdote,
romantic legends, and fine descriptions of scenery.

SIMMONDS'S COLONIAL MAGAZINE.
Mr. Charles Hooton, who has long been well known
in magazine literature as a shrewd observer and a
smart and clever writer, gives us in the present number
of Simmonds, a most amusing and animated description
of a visit to, and sojourn in, the city of New Orleans.
This city has the misfortune to bear a bad character in
Europe, and is consequently seldom visited by travellers.
If we mistake not, however, this paper by Mr. Hooton,
in "The Crescent City," will induce many to visit it,
more particularly in the winter season. He thus sums
up the result of his experience during his sojourn:—
" Upon the whole, the impressions left upon inc by both
the Crescent City and its inhabitants were of a very favour-
able nature, and such as will ever excite reflections of the
most pleasing kind. With the two exceptions of 'yellow
jack' and a sun in summer rather too hot, few cities in the
States are more agreeable; for in the winter season the
climate is delicious--tbat is, during six or seven months of
the year."
The other papers of this number contain much useful
information on the state and prospects of our various
colonial dependencies.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin.—l beg leave to inform you that the weather,
since Monday morning, has been everything that the
farmer could desire, in fact, this day is as warm as any
day we have had in the early part of the month.
We had no rain on Sunday, yet the day was gloomy;
up to yesterday we bad a smart dryir•g wind from the
the fields, north. The wind is blowing to-day from south-cast. This
will enable the farmer to save his mountain crop.

MELANCHOLY DpAni OF AN AGED FEMALE BY
rust,.--On Wednesday evening ?dr. Bedford held an inquest
at the Rising Sun, Chapel-street, Grosvenor-square, respect-
ing the death of Judith Malley, .aged 85 years, lately residing
at N 2. 3, Thomas-street, OxiOrd-street. The deceased was
\in the receipt of a weekly sum of money from several bene-
volent persow, parishioners of St. George's, llanover-square.
On Tuesday se'unight, about five o'clock, the' lodgers in the
house were alarmed at hearing loud screams, and on entering
the deceased's room they discovered her on the floor enve-
loped in flames, which were extinguished with considerable
difficulty, but not before she was frightfully disfigured over
the upper part of her person. She was ultimately removed
• to the infirmary of St. George's workhouse, Mount-street,-
where she expired on Sunday. The accident was caused by
' her having fallen on the floor with a lighted candle in her
' hand, which ignited her clothing. Yet diet, " Accidental
death."
