EAST INDIA lIOITSE, JUNE, 11, 1845.
THE COURT of DIRECTORS of the EAST
INDIA COMPANY dm hereby give Notice,
That a PHOPE EETOR of EAST INDIA STOCK has stated that at
the Quarterly General Court of the said Company, appointed to be
held at their house in Leadenhall-street, on WEDNESDAY, the 18th
instant, "he call attention to the case of the Raja of iSattara."
JAMES C. MELVILL, Secretary.

rp HE LATE THOMAS HOOD.
This distinguished writer, who has for upwards of twenty
years entertained the politic with a constant succession of comic
and humoristic works, in the whole range of which not a
single line of immoral tendency, or calculated to pain an
individual, can he pointed out—whose poems and serious writings
rank among the noblest modern contributions to our national
literature, and whose pen was ever the ready and efficient advocate
of the unfortunate and the oppressed (as recently, for instance,
in the admirable "Song of tee Shirt," which gave so remark-
able an impalse to the movement on behalf of the distressed
needlewomen), has left a widow and two children in straitened
and precarious circumstances, with no other means of subsistence
than a small pension, terminable on the failure of the widow's
life, barely sufficient to supply a fanniy of three with com -
mon necessaries, and totally inadequate for the education and
advancement of the orphan children. Even this scanty resource has
been, of necessity, forestalled to a considerable extent during the last
five months, in order to meet the heavy sick room and funeral ex-
penses. Under these circumstances a SUBSCRIPTION for the
family has been set on foot. The admirers of Thomas Hood
throughout the country will, it is hoped, take this opportunity of
publicly testifying their recognition of his genius, and their sense of
his personal worth.

NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR-
ANCE SOCIETY,
26, CORNLIILL, LONDON.
Capital £500,000.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
This institution otters important and substantial advan-
tages with respect both to Life Assurances and Deferred Annuities.
The assured has, on all occasions, the power to borrow, without ex-
pense or forfeiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the premium paid,
(see table); also the option of selecting benefits, and the conversion
of his interests to meet other conveniences er necessity. Assurances
for terms of years are granted on the lowest possible rates.
DIVISION OF PROFITS.
The success and increasing prosperity of the Society has enabled
the Directors, at the last ansual investigation, to declare a third
Bonus, varying from 30 to 75 iper cent. on the premiums paid on
each Policy effected on the Profit scale.

MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND MID-
LAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.
The PROVISIONAL DIRECTORS announce with regret the
REJECTION of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junction
Railway Bill (as well as the Newark and Sheffield). At present they
are at a loss to imagine the grounds on which the Parliamentary
Committee came to this most unexpected decision—unexpected as
much by the opponents as by the supporters of the measure ; they
cannot, however, believe that this decisio* will ultimately affect the
interests of the undertaking. So convinced are they of the soundness
of, and necessity for the line, that they feel they should not faithfully
discharge their duty to the Shareholders, the public, or themselves,
by abandoning the undertaking; it is, therefore, intended, that the
application shall be renewed next session, and, in the interim, every
practicable means will be taken to obviate the probability of a subse-
quent defeat.

Scrip holders are respectfully requested to transmit their Address,
as well as the number of Shares they hold, and the numbers of their
Scrip Certificates, to the Secretary, on or before the 3d day of JULY
NEXT, in order that an account of the expenses may be sent to them,
together with a form, whereby they may signify their desire to
withdraw fl'oni the undertaking, and receive back the amount of
their deposits (less the expenses) or of prosecuting the measure during
the next Session of Parliament.
By order, HENRY WILKINSON, Chairman.
Offices, 7, Surrey-street, dheffield, June 11, 1845.

The division of profits is annual, and the next will be made in De-
cember of the present year.

The Burton-upon-Trent and Uttoseter Banking Company, at Burton-
upon-Trent and Uttoxeter.

This lire of railway will commence at or near to the Trent Valley
station at Atherstone, and pass by Snarestone, Measham, Ashby-de-
la-Zouch, and Burton-upon-Trent, to a junction with the Churnet
Valley portion of the North Staffordshire Railway, near Tutbury,
with a branch on or near to the line of the Ashby de la Zouch Canal,
by Market Bosworth and Hinckley to the Leicester and Birmingham
Railway.
This line will form the shortest and most direct route from Man-
chester to London. It will also bring the valuable coal fields of
Moira and Ashby Woulds into direct and immediate communication
with the southern and western markets, by means of the Trent
Valley, Midland, and Churnet Valley districts of the North Stafford-
shire Railways. It will also give to the important town of Burton-
upon-Trent, and the populous country to the north and west, con-
venient access to this disrict. _

JOSEPH C. BRETTELL, Secretary.

Another principal feature of the line is, to supply railway com-
munications to the established mineral baths at Moira and Ashby
de la Zouch, and to the inhabitants of the latter town and neigh-
bourhood.
It will also afford an outlet to the extensive trade and fabrics of
the Leicestershire and Derbyshire Potteries. It will also, by a short
branch, have access to the Leicester and Swannington Railway and
coal field.

the City of London. A pattern may be seen as above, or at 208, Pic-

Another local advantage will be the supply of lime to extensive
agricultural districts by this line from the fluarries of Ticknall, Cloud

and Bredon

DINNER SERVICES, TABLE GLASS, &o.

Ik3 of Southampton Buildings, opposite Gray's Inn Gate, have on
view the largest Stock in London of Table Glass, Dinner, Dessert, and
Tea services, ornamental China, Chandeliers, Lustres, Lamps, Hall
Lanterns, &c.

With these various sources of traffic, the absence of competing
lines, and the unusual facilities in the character of the country for
the construction of a rallway—ne considerable work being required,
and the gradients being peculiarly favourable for the working of the
line, and the opening of the shortest route between Manchester and
London—there is a certain prospect of a more than ample return for
the capital.

N.B.—A. considerable number of Dinner, Dessert, and Tea Services
at a great reduction in price; these patterns arc not those of the pre-
sent year, but the ware is of the best quality, and they will be found
worthy of attention—some of the Dinner Services in question are
porcelain—ln addition to which, there are a few suspending Drawing
Reom Lamps, Lustres, and Hall Lanterns.

A plan and prospectus will be issued in the course of a few days,
and in the meantime applications for Shares, with proper references,
may be made to S. S. Baxter, Esq., solicitor, Atherstene.

BARNSLEY JUNCTION RAILWAY.
GENTLEMEN,

Immediately on the unexpected decision of the Committee to
whom this 13111 was referred, your Directors, in order to protect
the interests of the Shareholders, entered into a provisional arrange-
ment with the Directors of the SHEFFIELD and MANCHESTER
LINE, the purport and result of which will be collected from the
following Resolutions passed (inter alia) at a Special General Meet-
ing of the Sheffield and Manchester Company, held at Sheffield, on
the 6th instant

up OWLAND'S ODONTO, or PEARL DEN-
TIFRICE.

A Fragrant White Powder, prepared itom Oriental Herbs of ines-
timable virtue for preserving and beautifying the TEETH and
strengthening the GUMS.

It eradicates the factitious formation of tartar, and thus lends a
salutary growth and freshness to the gums. It removes from the
surface of the teeth the spots of incipient decay, polishes and pre-
serves the enamel, imparting the most pure and pearl-like whiteness;
while from its salubrious and disinfecting qualities, it gives sweetness
and perfume to the breath. Being an anti-scorbutic, the gums also
share in its corrective powers ; scurvy is eradicated from them, a
healthy action and redness are induced, so that the teeth (if loose)
are thus rendered firm in their sockets. As the most efficient and
ragrant aromatic cleanser and preserver of the teeth and gums ever
known, ROWLAND'S ODONTO has for a long series of years occu-
pied a distinguished place at the toilets of the Sovereigns and the No-
bility throughout Europe, while the general demand for it at once an-
nounces the favour in which it is held by the public at large.
Price 2s. 9d. per box, duty included.
CAUTION.—To protect the Public from fraud, the Hon. Commis-
sioners of Stamps have directed the Proprietors' Signature to be en-
graved on the Government Stamp, thus—

Dloved by Joule PAnKEn, Esq., M.P.; seconded by THOMAS BLAKE,

Esq., and carried—

That the Directors be, and they are hereby authorised to take the
necessary measures to construct a line or lines of railway to connect
this railway with the Midland Railway, through the Barnsley and
Silkstone district, with such further extensions eastward as may
hereafter be deemed necessary by the Directors, and to make such
short branches and tramways for developing the coal traffic as they may
deem necessary or expedient.
Moved by JOHN PARKER, Esq., M.P. ; seconded by the MASTER
. .

Cu'ri.r.e. of Sheffield, and carried,
That in furtherance of the objects, the Directors be, and they are
hereby empowered to admit the shareholders of theßarnsleyJunction
Railway Company as Shareholders in the Sheffield, Ashton-under-
Lyne, and Manchester Railway Company, by a commutation of in-
terest, upon the following terms :—That is to say, that the holders of
every 251. share, or of every two shares of 121.105. each, in the Barnsley
Junction Railway Company, be entitled to receive one share of 251.
in the stock of this Company. And that the Directors of this Com-
pany be, and they are hereby authorised from time to time, to raise
and issue so much new stock as shall be required ; as well for car-
rying this arrangement Into effect, as also for the several objects
mentioned in the foregoing resolutions, and other objects which they
have in contemplation.

Your Directo‘rs feel no hesitation in recommending the Share-
holders to accede to the above arrangement, and to testify their as-
sent thereto by forwarding their Scrip to Mr. Platford, secretary to
the Sheffield and Manchester Railway Company, Store-street, Man-
chester, on or before the Ist day of July next, to be forthwith ex-
changed for Scrip Certificates in that Company, pursuant to the
above resolutions, which, it will be observed, contemplate an imme-
diate amalgamation. To such of the Shareholders as decline to
accede to the above arrangement, the Directors can only make the
alternative offer to return to them their deposits in full, which they
do, and at the same time beg to inform them that they will be en-
titled to orders for the amount, on forwarding their Scrip Certificates
to Mr. Shepherd or Mr. Newman, solicitors, Barnsley.
This arrangement will render unnecessary any general meeting of
the Shareholders, Pursuant to the notification of Messrs. Shepherd
and Newman, of the 25th April last.

I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,

ROCHE'S HERBAL EMBROCATION, an
Effectual Cure for the looping Cough, without Internal
Medicine.

This is the only discovery affording a perfect cure. without admi-
nistering an internal Medicine, the difficulty and inconvenience of
which, in all disorders particularly incidental to Children, are too
well known to need any comment. The Inventor and Proprietor of
this Embrocation can with pleasure and satisfaction declare, that its
salutary effects have been so universally experienced, and so gene-
rally acknowledged, that many of the most eminent of the Faculty
now constantly recommend it as the only known safe and perfect
cure, without restriction of diet or use of medicine.

many thousands of chil lren aro cured annually by this remedy;
on the first attack, an immediate application of the EMBROCATION
will prevent the complaint taking any hold of the constitution, and a
few times using often completely cures. In most cases, one bottle
will produce the desired effect. The Proprietor, therefore, earnestly
and conscientiously recommends it to Parents, Guardians, and all
those who have the care of children.

IRELAND.
THE CORK REPEAT. BANQUET.
(Abridged from the Cork Examiner of Monday.)
In consequence of the lateness of the hour at which Mr. O'( on.:
nett arrived in town on Sunday evening, it was arranged that the
addresses to be then presented to him should be held over till the
ilea t day, at one o'clock, then to be presented in the Chanstic rof
Commerce, at which hour the large room was thronged o th
county and city gentlemen, deputations, and inspectors. The at-
tendance of ladies was also large and fashionable.
The Mayor presented Mr. O'Connell with an address from t 1 le
corporation of Cork.
Mr. Q'CONNELL, after expressing his pleasure at receiving t 5 e
address, said—Let the man most disposed to despair or sink h
apathy open his eyes, and compare our position now with what i
was three years ago, and deny, if he can, that we made greate
progress in that time, and got over a greater space to the accom-
plishment of our object, than now remains to pass over.—
(Hear, hear, and loud cheering.) Eight millions of hum.o
beings were never refused a request; there is only one thing
that could mar us—that is, any act of criminality. But
did you not see the hundreds of thousands that assembled yesterday,
the firmness and boldness with which they stepped forward, the
order and regularity ? Did you not see the battalion of Amazons
from Kinsale, and where is the coward that would not fight in
such a cause ?—(Great cheering.) Yet, there is not a semblance'
of fighting. The Duke of Wellington said we could not carry re-
peal by force; for the first time in my life I have the pleasure of
concurring with him.—(Laughter.) I would not take repeal if L
got it by force ; and I justify that by telling the people of England_
that anything that is attained by violence strikes at the root of all
social order and happiness, interferes with private life, and enters
into the family circle; prevents prosperity, and begets revolution,
violence, and anarchy, and all that species of mischief that resutta
from 111-conditioned society. The old adage said, "in not. ill
gone."—(Laughter and cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman made suit-
able replies to the other addresses.
The levee terminated at half-past three o'clock.
THE BANQUET.
In the gallery more than 800 ladies were seated, all dressed an
full costume, as if at a ball. The application for tickets was equa
to twice the accommodatiOn. The Mayor of Cork presided.
At the right side of the Chairman, who wore his official robes,
sat Mr. O'Connell, clad in the uniform of the 'B2 Club, and wearing
round his neck the aldermanic chain. Next to Mr. O'Connell sat
Daniel Callaghan, Esq., M.P. ; Maurice O'Connell, Esq., lif P., in
the 'B2 uniform; Captain Broderick, and Richard Barrett, of the
Pilot, similarly attired, and Mr. Primrose. At the left side of the
chair were Sir Benjamin M. Wall, Mayor of Waterford, wearing
his robes over the 'B2 uniform; Thomas Steele, wearing the 'B2
uniform ; Sir Richard Musgrave, Bart., &c.
The CHAIRMAN proposed ' The health of the Queen," which was
received with eve!), demonstration of loyalty and affection.
The choir sang the National Anthem.
The CHAIRMAN next gave "Prince Alert, the Prince of Wales,
and the rest of the Royal Family resident in England."
Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL, M P., proposed " The people—the
Irish people."—(Vehement applause.)
The CHAIRMAN then, after a suitable eulogium, gave " The health
of their loved and admired Daniel O'Connell, the man of the
people."—(Tremendous cheers.)
Mr. O'Coaeeat said—l am literally unable to address you, and
that incapacity did not commence in the overwhelming reception
with which you have greeted me, for it has lasted me through the
last 24 hours.—(Hear.) My mind is absorbed in the delights of yes-
terday. Every faculty is wrapped up in admiration of the people
and the scene altogether. Oh, it was a splendid scene. What a
majestic assemblage, what an awful multitude, what a tremendous
collection of rational, sentient, tranquil, but determined people.
Oh, I pity the man that would not spend an hour in the delight of
contemplating such a scene. What brought that multitude toge-
ther ? Love of fatherland. What was their object ? Liberty.—
(Hear and cheers.) What are their means ? Peace, order,
tranquillity, and determination.—(Cheers.) Oh, it was a ma.
jestic scene. He who has not viewed it can entertain no con-
ception of what it was; and he who has not seen it as I have,
labours in vain to trace the slightest picture of that majestic
assemblage of Irishmen panting to be free.—(Loud cheers.)
Do the Government understand us ? Look at the proceed.
ings, and trace the progress of the Maynooth Bill, a good
one in itself, and liberally granted ; but then we did not
ask for it.—(Laughter.) They have been debating with vigour
what. great things they have been doing for Ireland; but, like the
story of the country girl, when the fellow refused te marry her—
" Nobody asked you, Sir, she said." Sir R. Peel said " there was
a. cloud in the west ;" it was only a small speck, but it might
soon expand into an immense thunder-storm, and lightning, hail,
and the thunderbolt might be scattered round. "Therefore," said
Peel, sagaciously, " we will meet the storm and hail and thunder..
bolt by a few additional pounds." Was there anything ever so
ridiculous ? But it was a precious avowal, a kind confession, and
must have been good for the man's soul—that is, if anything can
be.—(Renewed laughter and cheering.) He admitted that there
was no getting a proper jury, and that he could not put us
down by law, as it was a "mockery, a delusion, and a snare."
We have come to that crisis; we have travelled half-way; we
have got through, as the children say, " the biggest half," and the
remainder depends on yourselves.—(Hear, hear.) I address each
of you, and I tell every man he has his country's liberty in his
hands, and if he chooses to rally she must be a nation.—(Cheers.)
The crime of continued servitude in Ireland rests on the man, no
matter how humble, who votes for any other than a repealer.
(Cheers.) There must be no working-off with Federalism
(Cheers.) I know the principles of my excellent friend beside me
(Mr. D. Callaghan), and no person is more grateful for his friend.
ship ; and when he next stands for your city—as I trust he again
will--I hope he will be a repealer in practice as well as belief.
I want no man to violate the ties of friendship; if he cannot give
us his voice, let him retire. These observations point to your
second Member; I own they do.—(Hear, hear.) It may be said
that if you compel him to advocate repeal, you will spoil his career
of legal eminence, for he is a man of first-rate talent, uniting the
qualities of integrity with learning, ability, and every other quali-
fication that could fit him to fill the judicial bench with honour to
himself and credit to the Constitution.—(Hear.) But you cannot
afford to place him on the bench at the expense of Ireland. No
person can suspect me of motives of an irritated nature. lam
performing a duty; but it will be also a part of my duty to come
to your city and proclaim that no man of the half-and-half shall
get a vote; vote for no man who tells you he is hot to-day for Ire.
land, and cold in the cause of England to-morrow, for the sake of
promotion. I now call on Cork to right itself, and send in two
repealers. You do not know the advantage of this decision, for
many men that might be inclined te go but half way will go the
entire way; and if the talented gentleman, the Member for Cork,
threws himself into our ranks, I will help to bring him on my
shoulders in triumph, and return him with joy and acclamation
the repeal Member for Cork.—(Cheers.) I pledge myself if
lie does not come forward at each election, that painful as it
would be to oppose the son of a dear brother, I will perform that
ditty.--(Hear and loud cheering.) How are the Government to
put an end to a spirit of this kind ?—(Hear, hear.) I have an in-
vitation to Galway for August. On the eth of September, the an.
niversary of our liberation, we will be at Enniecerthy. Wexford
is ringing; in Wexford they can return four repealer. ; and there
is an oath registered in heaven, that unless they are repealer. they
will have nothing to say to them.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) How
are we to be conquered ? Only by division.—(Cheers.) They
gloried the other day in the idea that they had created division.
Sir Robert Peel said, in the course of debate—and it was no
great sign of his sense—his frankness exceeded his prudence
—that he brought in the Bequests Bill, which had a great
effect in breaking up the confidence that existed between the
priests and the people.—(Loud laughter.) Heaven help his head !
He gave us an education Bill, which is sure to divide us.—
(Loud laughter.) I differ with him. The hierarchy of Ireland
have pronounced that Bill (and I agree with them) as being injuri-
ous to faith and morals.—(Hear.) Why was not the penal code
enacted at once—that code that held it to be constitutional not
recognise the existence of six millions of Catholics in Ireland ?--
(Hear.) Let them mix the education as they like, there shall be
no connexion ; we will spurn the cup from our lips.—(Hear, and
cheers.) Who will be a party to the robbery when he knows that
restitution can be obtained ? England had 513 Members at the
time of the union—lreland had 300 ; and they made this exces-
sively honest bargain, they struck off 200 of the Irish Members,
but did not touch a single English one.—(Oh, oh.) That is what
they call a union. After similar remarks on the union, Mr.
O'Connell gave " The Right Worshipftil the Mayor of Cork—long
life and prosperity to him."
The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and gave "The Repeal
Martyrs."
Mr. STEELE and Mr. BARRETT returned thanks.
After other toasts,
The CHAIRMAN said the next toast he had to propose was one of
local importance—" The County and City Members, and the
Repeal Members of Ireland." Mr. Roche was not at home, or he
would be happy to be amongst them, and he was the first that
showed them the cherished green.—(Cheers.) At a ball, in which
they had the Dragoons and infantry, he outshone them all in that
uniform ; and, taking heart and limb, he was the soundest of them
all.—(Cheers.) He would now speak of the City Members, and
might say to them, as Queen Elizabeth said to the chiefs—" Yours,
as you demean yourself." Since jobbing in Parliament was done
away with, they had many constituencies, but few representatives, for
they would not any longer submit to mal.representation. If they
wanted a representative they should go and petition for ene—.
(Hear, hear)—for there were few gentlemen who sapid be willing
to transport themselves for six months, and they should sacrifice
many other Members who would be serviceable if they did attend
the Parliament of Ireland at the Conciliation.hall.—(Cheers.)
Mr. D. CALLAGHAN, M,P., rose, and was received with applause.
He said I was a repealer before I ever heard of such a test being
offered to the repeal Members representing Ireland. (The
speaker here alluded to that part of the " Liberator's" address
in which heobjected to Mr. Callaghan absenting himself from
the Conciliation-hall, and his determination to influence
the electors of Cork in favour of none but repeal Members,
theoretically and practically.) However, I do not complain
of that; but I cannot be insensible to the observations of the
Chairman, who, not content with restricting himself to the
nature of his toast, has far exceeded his duty in his personal allu-
lions to me. But I will pass this subject by, I will only say this,
that there is no man in this assembly more satisfied than I am,
from conviction, from early feeling, and from subsequent reflec-
tion, that this is the most misgoverned country in the world.—
(Hear, hear.) If one of us go to England after a little absence
from our legislative duties, the first question asked us Is—
" How are you in Ireland ? are you getting quiet ?"
(Laughter.) Why, they actually know no more about us than

effort was made to degrade us, and make us look ridiculous in
the House—in fact, the name of an Irishman was the password
of contempt—almost when we entered the House, and stood up
to bring forward any matter connected with Ireland, it became
immediately deserted—or, if one of the loungers, whose
legislative displays are generally confined to the clubs, should
happen to enter while an Irish Member was occupying at-
tention, he immediately retreated, exclaiming, " Oh„ d—_ the
Irish, it is that Irish prater who is now going on." And if that
be the way in which Irishmen are treated in the House of Commons,
am I, with a knowledge of all that, to be supposed a lukewarm

flicted on Ireland by the union is certainly comprehensive—am I

DEATH FROM THE BITE OF A POISONOUS INSECT.
—On Thursday Mr, Baker held an inquest at the Queen's Head
High.street, Poplar, on the body of Robert Smith, aged 67 years,
a labourer in the West India Docks. About a fortnight since the
deceased was employed in what is termed the " transporting gang,"
in moving the ship from one part of the dock to another. On his
return home he supposed he had been bitten by a gnat, and the
irritation which ensued was so violent as to cause him to rub the
afflicted part to a degree which caused alarming symptoms, and
the arm became swollen. He was subsequently conveyed to the
London Hospital, and having been relieved, afterwards became an
out-patient. In a short time, however, further alarming symptoms
appeared, and Mr. Bloomfield, a surgeon, of Poplar, was called in
on Monday morning last, but he died the same day. Mr. Bloom_
field stated that when he was called in the deceased laboured under
difficulty of breathing, and had an intermittent pulse, accompanied
by delirium. From the symptoms witness attributed death to the
bite of some poisonous insect from the tropical climates. Verdict
—" That death was caused by some poisonous insect."
GOLDSMITHS' COMPANY.—Thursday, pursuant to
annual custom the master and wardens of this Company proceeded
to distribute the munificent sums left for charitable purposes to

by the Court of the Company.
THE " WOU-WOU," OR LONG-ARMED GIBBON.--
The Hindostan, from China, just arrived in the London Docks, has
brought home a pair of these interesting, but ungainly-looking
creatures. This is believed to be the first instance of a pair
having reached this country alive. They bear a strong affinity
to the orang.outangs, but the form is more slender. The total ab-
sence of tail and extreme length of arms give them a most gro-
tesque appearance. The name of " 'Wou-wou "is descriptive of
their peculiar cry, which is remarkable, not only for its extraordi-
nary power and volume, but for a succession of graduated tones;
it may be heard at great distances resounding through vast forests,
and admirably serving its purpose of a call to the mate. In Intel.
ligence they fall but little short of the chimpanzee. As a proof of
this, while on boardship they would disengage the twist of a rope or
chain that, by being entangled, would have impeded their pro.
geese. The reach of the extended arms, in a full-grown specimen,
exceeds six feet. They were fed during the voyage on bread,
fruits of various kinds, vegetables, and eggs.

THE ISTHMUS OF PANAJIIA.
KINGSTON, JAMAICA, MAY l.—Among the many ques_
tions that engage the observation of a colonial tourist, there is
none that more immediately deserves notice than the oft-dig-
cussed subject of transit over the Isthmus of Panama, mad the
connexion of the Atlantic with the Pacific Ocean. I have had
access to various sources of information on these important
points during my short stay in this island, and I anxiously- call
your attention to them, with the hope of impressing
through you on the British public generally the magnitude of
the interests which are at stake, and the necessity of Great
Beitain taking the initiative in developing them. Since the
days of Cores the project of a ship canal connecting the taro
oceans has been a favourite speculation with adventurers of
al] nations, and privileges have been obtained from the cad
Spanish, iNs well as- from the modern New Granada and
Central Anise lean Governments, for the purpose of facili-•
soaring its construction. But all these speculations have
failed, and the idea is too vast for the comprehension of
private individuals. Latterly, in lieu of a ship canal, a
railway has been proposed, but no efficient step has been
taken in the matter, and European capitalists are evidently
not prepared to advance money for such an undertaking,
A bold proposal was made some years since by a Mexican
Company to connect the two oceans by cutting through the
Isthmus of Tehuantepec, and a survey was effected at
considerable expense by those gentlemen, but I can see
no reason why the narrow and central Isthmus of Panama.
should be abandoned for the wider and more chit-
eVit passage of Tehuantepec, or why our shipping communi-
cat,:ng with the corresponding port in the Gulf of Mexico.
shotti [I be exposed, in case of American ear, to the attacks
of prkYateers from Mobile, Pensacola, and the Mississippi,
instead of keeping the open sea towards Portobello or the
Chagres, I will therefore set aside the Mexican speculation
as altogether impracticable, and direct your whole attention to.
the only efficient route of the Panama Isthmus.
Without renting to projects which in olden times succes-
sively failed, I will merely state that since 1835 two at-
tempts have been made by speculators to establish a ship
canal, and that privileges were obtained by them from the.
New Granada Government, which have since lapsed in conse-
quence of the non-performance of their contracts by the per-
sons alluded to. In 1835 the same Baron Thierry who has
since figured in New Zealand, obtained a grant, which subse-
quently formed the basis of the French and Granadan Com-
pany ; and in 1836 an American, Colonel Biddle, entered
into engagements which were rendered abortive by the Qom-•
mercial crisis of that year, and the sudden death of the
principal speculator. The French Granadan Company made
an appeal to the money-market for support, but finding no capi-
talists disposed to answer them, they renounced their privilege,
and the subscribers paid up the fine they had incurred for not
having commenced the undertaking within the period assigned.
The question, therefore, now remains open to all speculators,
and those who may embark in it can have no fear of being
met by prior grants. The Government of New Granada is
free of engagements, and I understand that, while warned
by experience it is determined not to treat with feeble or
unsupported Companies, it is disposed to meet, (sn the most
liberal tooting, any rich substantial Company compmed of our
merchant Princes and possesssing the confidence of our Go-
vernment.
I purposely omit any direct notice of the plans proposed by
French speculators for opening communication frossi the
port of Nicaragua, in Central America, by ascendirsiv the
river San Juan, traversing the lakes of Nicaragua and L eon,
and cutting a canal thence to the port of Realejo on the Pacific;
because, in my opinion, the undertaking is far beyond t. tie
means of the parties, and capitalists cannot be found to sup -
port it.
The British commercial association already in existence
most interested in the transit of the isthmus is undoubtedly-
tbe Royal Mail Steam-packet Company, because its vessels
navigate the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico in every direc-
tion, and because it could, by the establishment of three
or four large steamers in the Pacific, absorb the whole of
the treasure and passengers who now, for want of an official
line of steamers along the North and South American coasts
of the Pacific and facility of transit over the Isthmus, go
round Cape Horn to Europe. It is probably from these con-
siderations, that an intelligent director of the company,
Captain Liot, aided by the Crown Surveyor of Jamaica, has
lately been employed in determining what ports its both
oceans should be fixed on as entrepots, and in what manner
the transit of the isthmus should be effected, so as to Lieet
the general interests of the commercial world, and the p,ar.
titular views of the association itself. These gentleme.a
having, as I understand, carefully examined the whole line
of both coasts of the isthmus, have chosen the ports of Panama.
on the one side, and of Portobello on the other; and they have:
likewise determined that the transit should be effected in a direct
line between these places. The selection of Panama and Porto-
! hello reflects credit on the judgment of Captain Liot and
his cempanion, because in the time of Spanish dominion
they were the corresponding ports for the transmission and
shipment of specie, and because they can be made at very
little expense safe and commodious harbours. From the
former communication can be easily held with Guayaquil,
Lima, and Valparaiso, to the south ; and Acapulco, Sin
Bias, and Mazatlan and Realejo, to the north ; and the lat-
ter is easy of access to the splendid steamers of the company,
who can, if necessary, run from the Land's-end to Portobello.
in 23 days' direct steaming, or in 28 days, touching at Bar-
badoes and Jamaica. It was at first proposed that the port of
Cbagres should be the terminus at the Atlastic side, as the
river was considered navigable to a considerable distance in the
isthmus, and the transit would be so far advanced; but on close
examination the harbour and the river were found to be im-
impracticable, and Portobello, as I have shown, was selected.
The next point which engaged the attention of Captain Liot
was, " In what manner is the transit to be effected, and is there
no more practicable mode than the enormously expensive one of
a railway or ship canal?" For the purpose of determining this
material question, a survey was made of the intervening ground,
the engineer cutting his way by compass through forest and
bush, and the result was the obtaining a choice of three lines,
either of which can be made available. In coming from
Panama the surveyor followed as far as possible the remains of
the old Spanish causeway connecting that place with Porto-
bello, but found it broken up and overrun with timber, and the
line itself, being carried, as the crow flies, over hill and dale,
is in all respects ohjectionab:e. He therefore struck out anew
road, which winding round the base of hills, and approaching
as near a level as any English turnpike-road, makes the whole
distance from port to port only 55 miles.
The agents of the Royal Mail Steam-packet Company
having now fixed on two suitable ports, and reduced the dis-
tance between them to 55 miles, determined instead of pro-
posing a ship canal or a railroad, either of which would demand
an immense outlay of money, and give rise to political embarass-
ments, to recommend the practicable and cheap passage of
a macadamized road, for the formation of which the ground
is perfectly suitable, and the materials of construction to be
found on the spot. One is struck with the prudence of this
recommendation, because of its cheapness and practicability,
and because that same road can in the coursa of time be made
available for steam-carriage purposes. for the atmospheric
pressure railway, or for the ordinary tram road. I understand
maps and plans have been sent home, explanatory of all these

course the passage up stream will be more tedious, but it
must be borne in mind that the valuable freight of specie and
the majority of passengers come from the Panama side of the
isthmus.
The question of transit at last assumes a tangible shape, and
I hope to state, ere long, that the Macadam road has been com-
menced. 7imes.

AILWAY COMMITTEES

and Scarborough (Deviation) Railway Bill, and the Whitby and
"Pickerington Railway Bill.
The Bills, being unopposed, were declared to have gone through
Committee.
The Scottish Central Railway Bill was called on, and after
opening the proceedings, the case was adjourned to twelve o'clock
au Monday.
The Committee adjourned at half.past six o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

GROUP A.

SOUTH-EASTERN LINE.

The Committee met at the usual hour this morning, when

Mr. MERREVIETHER proceeded with the examination of

Mr. Bidders, who gave evidence in reference to the manner in
which it was intended that this line should avoid danger
from passing near Messrs. Hall's powder mills. It had been in-
tended to pass within 300 yards of the powder-mills, but on the
representation of Messrs. Hall, the design had been altered so that
the distance from the line to the nearest part of the works would
be 580 yards. Mr. Bidders then spoke as to some occurrences at
a public meeting at Faversham, at which this subject had bees
discussed. The two lines, the South-Eastern and North Kent,
-passed from Faversham to Chilham. Mr. Bidders then pointed out
an objection to the extension of the North Kent line from Canterbury
to Dover proposed by Mr. Vignolles. At Canterbury the North
Kent line formed an angle, which was almost a right angle, so that
the distance from Chilham to Dover would be much greater than
it need be, the only argument in favour of this mode of passage to
Dover being the saving of distance. Mr. Bidders then stated that
there was an error in Mr. Vignolles' statement of the gradients
necessary on the North Kent line, which could not be remedied
without aw alteration in the direction of the line, and this could not
be made within the limits of deviation. The witness then pro.
.ceeded to several points of difference between the two lines, which
were mostly uninteresting to the public.
Mr. Bidder pointed out several inaccuracies in Mr. Vignolles'
'estimates, which he said were insufficient. He also pointed out
• the superiority of the South-Eastern line in this respect. Mr.
Vignolles' estimate of the total expense of the North Kent
line was 1,249,7491., whereas the actual expense would be,
according to calculations made by him, 1,970,9341., the estimate of
the total expense of the South-Eastern line being 2,160,2211.

Mr. Cocicatnot here said, in order to avoid the confuaion which
-would ensue if the witness were examined with regard to the
London and Croydon line, at the same time that he was examined
-with reference to the North Kent line, it was proposed to obtain
a body of evidence against the latter, and then to recal the wit.
limes for the purpose of obtaining another body of evidence
against the former.

Mr. MILLAR and Mr. AUSTIN objected, on the part of the Lon-
don and Croydon Company, to this course, on the grovnd that it
would occasion loss of time, as it would cause the witnesses to be
examined twice on the same subjects.

Mr. Sergeant SHEA objected to the course proposed by Mr.
Cockburn.

After a short discussion the Committee decided against the se.
parate investigation of subjects connected with the two lines.
Mr. MEIMEWETHEIL was then proceeding to ask some questions
of Mr. Bidders concerning the applicability of the atmospheric
principle as to locomotion, when
Mr. AUSTIN objected to the examination of witnesses as to the
principle. Mr. Merrewether could not ask any questions of the
witnesses against the principle, except as regards this particular
line and the particular localities through which it passed.
Mr. MERRIWETHER insisted on his right to examine the wit-
messes on this point.

After some discussion it was agreed to adjourn the argument

to-morrow.

The CHAIRMAN then proposed that the Committee should meet
tomorrow at eleven.

Mr. Austin, Mr. Millar, Mr. Alexander, Mr. Sergeant Shea,
and Mr. Merrewether, requested that the Committee might adjourn
till twelve.

Mr. ALEXANDER said that that hour was sufficiently early, and
that an earlier meeting would cause great inconvenience to himself
and his Learned Friends. They were all agreed on this subject,
and hoped the Committee would encourage their harmony.
The Committee accordingly adjourned till to-morrow, at twelve.

GROUP FF.
ran-rninraGs AND DIRECT NORTHERN.
The Committee met to-day at the usual hour, Lord Ashley in
the chair, when the clauses of the Bill were entered into.
Several clauses, cfter ♦erbal amendments. were agreed to.
On the clause relative to the terminus on the South Inch at
Werth being read, a discussion arose between Counsel as to the pro.
priety of postponing the clause till such time as the Board of
Trade had given its decision respecting the most eligible site for a
Leneral terminus.
The room was then cleared for a division.

On our return,

The CHAIRMAN intimated, that the Committee had decided to
refer the question of terminus, as had been done with other lines
terminating in Perth, to the Board of Trade.
The Committee further required that the construction of the
Sine should not be carried into Perth beyond the point at which it
crossed the Scottish Central Railway, until such time as the Board
of Trade had given their decision, and the Lord Provost and town
council had given their approbation for the occupation of the
South Inch, in case it might be fixed upon for a terminus.
With the exception of amending the Bill, by the introduction of
clauses to the previous effect, and to increase the capital from
550,0001. to 650,0001., so as to meet the extra expense of a double
line, no other material alterations were made in the clauses, the
'whole of which, after being read, were agreed to, and the Bill
ordered to be reported to the House.
This terminated the business of the group.

SCOTCH RAILWAYS.
GROUP GG.
GLASGOW JUNCTION RAILWAY.

The Committee, consisting of Mr. Evans, Chairman ; Mr.
Nunts, Mr. Newdegate, Mr. Miles, and Viscount Grimston, sat
tt his morning at eleven o'clock, in the Sessions-house.

Mr. Lockhart, M.P. for the county of Lanark, examined by Mr.
Fergeant TALFOCRD—The universal feeling in Glasgow, and more
particularly in the parish of Govan, consisting of 60,000 iahabi_
rants, was against the project. He considered that the line
Traversing the city of Glasgow by viaduct would greatly
injure the beauty of the city, and any bridge over the
Clyde would certainly injure the property there. Argyle_
street, certainly one of the finest streets in Europe, would be very
greatly deteriorated, and to any resident of that street the viaduct
would be a great eyesore. He had known accidents arising from
such viaducts, one for instance in Tradeston, where a respectable
firmer from the parish of Govan, in charge of a horse and cart, had
been killed in consequence of his horse taking fright from the noise
of the railway engine
Cross-examined by Mr. TALBOT—He had seen the bridge of
•!ghs, but thought that a bridge which would ornament a canal
would ruin a public street.

Mr. Walker, civil engineer, was examined by Mr. Ausefar—
Ead been acquainted with Glasgow for the last forty years, a
great portion of which time he had been consulting engineer for
the River and Bridge Trustees. He had been called as a witness
in all the Acts of Parliament which authorised the improvement
of the Clyde, and he had no hesitation in saying that no river
in Europe had been so improved within the same period as the
Clyde had been. That portion of the harbour which was intended
to be occupied by the piers of the proposed bridge over the Clyde
WAS most valuable, because that part of the harbour
being the narrowest, and the whole traffic there finding its outlet,
any diminution of it would be most disadvantageous. He was aware
that it was intended to cross Argyle street 4certainly one of the
finest in Europe) by means of a viaduct. He understood that it
was intended to mask the engines in passing along it, and that
would require a screen of at least ten feet. This would be, in
tacr, al, impervious wall to any view from east to west, and would
quite destroy the beauty of the street. He knew, also, that it was
Intended to lay rails upon the quay, and if these were intended for a
coal trade, he thought it would be most objectionable, because the
strings of waggons would completely obstruct the traffic of the
harbour. There could be no analogy between the rails on the
quays of Hull and Liverpool, and the proposed ones at Glasgow,
because in the former cases the passenger trade was separate from
the goods traffic, which could not be in the latter case. With refe..
rence to the effect which the screen would have in deadening the
noise, he was of opinion that the effect would be very little indeed.
The witness then described his proposed line of junction, which,
passing to the eastward of the city, thus crossed the streets, and
formed a junction with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, to the
northward of Glasgow.
The witness was cross-examined by Mr. HILDYARD, but without
eliciting any additional facts.
Mr. Errington, C.E., had heard Mr. Walker's evidence, and
perfectly agreed with him in his objections to the proposed line.
This finished the case for the Clyde trustees.
Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM then addressed the Committee on be-
half of Mr. Campbell, of Blytheswood, and the feuars on his estate.
Mr. John Campbell Douglas was called to speak to the damage
done to the estate by the proposed line.
I The Committee adjourned at five o'clock.
