IRECT LONDON and EXETER RAIL-
WAY COMPANY.
Provisionally Registered.
Notice is hereby Given, That this COMPANY has been firmed fbr
the construction of a RAILWAY TRANSIT from LONDON to
EXETER direct (avoiding the circuitous course by Bristol), and to
pass through Hounslow, Staines, Egham, Ascot, Bagshot, Kingsclere,
Andover, Salisbury, Shaftesbury, Sherborne, Yeovil, Crewkerne, and
Axminster (or taking the lower line from Salisbury, to Cranbourne,
Blartdford, Dorchester, Bridport, and Axminster, which it Id con-
sidered may be preferable from its approach to the coast).
It is unnecessary to comment on the advantages of this direct
communication to Exeter, involving as it does so great a saving in
distance ; or its superiority over any branch or auxiliary projections,
affecting tho counties of Hants, Berks, Wilts, and Dorset, with their
adjacencies. Besides the brevity of the entire line, the counties and
places above named will all respectively derive the benefit of this un-
dertaking, which is commenced with a determination to render it
equally worthy of support as an investment of capital, as deserving
the name of a great national work of an enlarged and comprehensive
character.

THE LAZE AWFUL CONFLAGRATION
OF RAGGETT'S HOTEL, PICCADILLY.
In consequence of the serious and fatal accidents caused by the
burning of the above Hotel, and the danger to which sueh establish-
ments ern constantly exposed, from the same cause, DAVID
MAURIGY thinks it proper to make more fUlly known, for the satis-
faction and comfort of his numerotts friends and patrons, the
arrangements of the PALATINE HOTEL, VICTORIA STATION,
MANCHESTER, for the prevention of such fearful occurrences.
The landings of the house are fire-proof, and the staircases, which
are of solid iron, are so constructed that no portion of them could
the fall till the whole building fell to the ground, thus keeping open the
means of egress, the falling of which has been the cause of so large
a portion of the late dreadful catastrophes from fire; they can also
he flooded with continuous streams of water from each landing,
which can be turned on by the night attendant (who is always up
and on the watch) at a moment's notice. Every room in the house
can be supplied with water sufficient to extinguish the largest fire in
a few moments. By these means the remotest probability of any
accident by fire is removed, and the most timid person may make
use of this hotel without the least fear.
David Maurigy takes this opportunity of returning his grateful
thanks for the liberal support he has received since he has opened
the Palatine Hotel and Refreshment Rooms, Victoria Statior, and
begs to assure the public and commercial gentlemen that no
exertions shall be wanting, on his part, to merit their continued kind
patronage, and at the most moderate charges, including all gratuities
to servants.

ENGINEER—Sir John Rennie, F.R.S.
SECRETARY, PRO TEM.—Thomas Dyke, Esq.
A principal feature in this undertaking is the erection at the Old,
or Aust, Passage, of a fixed bridge across the estuary of the Severn,
adapted as well for railway traffic as for ordinary carriage and pe-
destrian intercourse, By the construction of this bridge, and the in-
tended line of railway in connexion with it, two great objects
will be attained ; first, there will be established, by means of
a junction at Hereford with the proposed lines north of that city, a
direct, unbroken lino of railway communication between Bristol and
Liverpool, with a saving in distance of about tbrty-two miles over
the present route ; and, secondly, there will be opened a free com-
munication between the southern and western portions of England,
on the one hand, and Monmouthshire and South Wales ea the other.
These important districts have hitherto been practically severed,
and only rendered accessible to each other by a most inconvenient
ferry, dependent on tides and weather. The want of a fixed bridge
over the Severn, at the point above-mentioned, has leng been
severely felt, and it would be impossible, whether in reference to na-
tional or local interests, to over estimate the importance of a scheme
designed to supply this want. It has not, however, been from a
consideration of its impracticability that such a work has not long
since been accomplished. In the year 1825 Mr. Telford, the late ce-
lebrated engineer, was consulted upon the subject, and gave a most
decided opinion in favour of it, particularly adverting (amongst other
causes affording facility) to tho great height of the banks at the Old
Passage, to the fact of the bed of the river consisting wholly of solid
rock, and to the circumstance that suitable materials for the work
could be procured within a reasonable distance.
The engineers of the present proposed work, as well as other en-
gineers of eminence, are equally confident of the thorough practica-
bility of the undertaking.
Until recent times, and before the period had arrived when railway
traffic and profits had reached their present astonishing extent, the
expense of this bridge compared with the probable train° returns,
naturally retarded its projection; but now, when works equally
difficult and expensive, such as tunnels and viaducts, are readily con-
structed by railway companies for the mere traffic of their line, and
sometimes only to avoid a comparatively trifling deviation, It will be
at once admitted, that with a view merely to the formation of a
direct line between Bristol and Liverpool (without looking to col-
lateral or ultra-terminal advantages), the magnitude of the under-
taking is no longer to be regarded as an impediment to its com-
pletion. .

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
LAMBETH.
SEDUCTIOII...-Min Mary Ann Salisbury, the daughter of
a Dissenting minister at Bath, was charged with attempting to
commit suicide on the preceding night.
Frederick Godfrey, a servant in the employment of the
London and Westminster Steam-boat Company deposed, that
on the preceding night he observed the prisoner on the steps
leading to the Company's pier, on the Surrey side of West-
minster-bridge, and knowing that the boats had ceased to run
for the sight, he asked her what or who she was waiting for ?
She replied nobody. There was something about her manner
which induced him to watch her closely, and perceiving that
she was approaching the water's edge he:followed her, and again
asked her what she wanted ? At this time she appeared to be
praying, and did not reply to him for some moments, when she
drew a letter from her bosom, and requested he would put it
into the post-office. She then said that her lover had jumped
off London-bridge on Sunday or Monday night, and he hoped
she would do the same. She then made towards the edge of
the water, and was in the act of throwing herself in, when
he (witness) caught hold of her clothes and held her until
assistance came, and she was handed over to the care and
charge of a policeman. The witness added, that after saving
her, the prisoner told him he was very unkind for interfering
with her, and asked him several times to let her do what she
wanted, but she appeared in a state of distraction at the time.
The witness, in answer to a question from the magistrate,
further said that on the same ( Wednesday) night a young nun
bad thrown himself off the London-bridge, and was picked up
alive, as he heard, by one of the Watermen steamers.
Police-constable Bovill, 140 D, deposed that on her way 42.
the station-house the prisoner told him she was the daughtitT
of a clergyman, at Bath, and had come away from there a fort-
night ago with a young gentleman who had since deceived her.
She also said she lodged at 2, Edward-street, Blackfriars-
road ; but he had since called there, and no such person as the
prisoner was known there.

The recent decision otthe Admiralty against the proposed bridge
at the Hock Crib, leaves the Aust Passage the only practicable point
for a fixed bridge. -

Arrangements have been concluded with his Grass the Duke of
Beaufort, and the other proprietors of the Aust Ferry, whereby the
purchase of that important interest has been secured to this Com-
pany.

The line, which will be about forty-eight miles in length, will
commence at Bristol, and proceed to the Aust Passage, there arose-
ing the proposed bridge to Beachley, it will run northward
along the valleys of the Wye and Monnow by Chepstow, and Mon-
mouth to Hereford, which city will form the northern terminus of the
line. At Hereford the direct chain of communication to Liverpool
will be completed by the lines now projected between those places.
It is obvious that this route will furnish to the west and south-west
of England the best and most direct means of communication not
only with Liverpool and the north of England, but with Dublin and
the north of Ireland.
To Bristol itself the value of the project cannot be over-estimated.
It will secure to that ancient city the continuance of its loug-enjoyed
position, as the emporium of commerce fn the west.
It is proposed to connect the line with the forest of Dean, by which
means the vast mineral resources of that district will be developed to
an extent hitherto unattained.

The prisoner here said, the name of the street she now re-

Many other advantages will at once suggest themselves to those
acquainted with the locality of the proposed railway ; amongst others
it may be mentioned, that the route will embrace Tintern Abbey,
and the other celebrated scenery of the Wye, which, notwithstanding
the difficulty and expense of reaching them by the old means of tran-
sit, annually attract a great number of visitors. The engineering
capabilities of the line have been ascertained to be excellent. In-
vestigations on the subject of the traffic have been made, which fully
justify the conclusion that the undertaking will prove a very pro-
fitable investment of cap;tal.

Sergeant Arnold, L 8, said that after the charge had been

The promoters have not been unmindful of the projected line of the
Bristol and South Wales Junction Company, from Bristol to the
passage; and if satisfactory terms of arrangement can be made,
whereby the formation of tkat portion of the line can, consistently
with the interests of this undertaking, be left to that Company, a
corresponding diminution of the capital will take place.

pLEASURE TRIPS.—The reason why people
do not generally get increased health from these delightful
excursions, so wisely provided for all classes is, that the stomach is
not properly prepared to receive the full benefit of the pure oxygen
given out from every leaf, flower, and blade of grass, wh,ch when
the habit is free, gives increased mental and physical power, causing
the greatest happiness man can know, in a glow of pleasurable sen-
sations, arising from renewed vigour and health.

This Company is established for the manufacture and sale of the
Concentrated Essences of Tea and Coffee under stalte's Patent, by
licence from the Patentee.
Tho advantages peculiar to the process for which this patent has
been granted, aro very numerous ; but among the most prominent is
this, that while the properties of the material
are completely ex-
tracted. its available quantity is augmented, and its virtues Improved.
The distinctive qualities of the Essence obtained are, the retention
of the identical flavour and fragrance of the particular Tea or Coffee
used, and a degree of strength secured before unknown.
The method employed in preparing and putting up these Essences,
secures them against injury from the lapse of time and change of
climate, affords the greatest possible facility for portability and im-
mediate use, and so reduces the price to the consumer, that economy
itself ftirnishes an ample guarantee for their extensive use.
One teaspoonful of the Essence, in a cup Of boiling water, will be
sufficient for the instantaneous production of a cup of tea or coffee of
the finest quality.
The following certificate from Dr. tire is, with satisfaction, sub-
joined:—

The prisoner, who is not 21 years of age, and who was
evidently deeply affected, made the following statement : —Her
father, she said, kept a boot and shoe wareheuse at Bath, and
• carried on a very extensive business, and was also minister of a
Dissenting congregation there. For some )ears past, Mr. A.
Bartram, with whom she had been brought up from
childhood, had paid his addresses to her, but for some reason
or other her father had set his face against their marriage.
A short time since Bartram was on a visit to his father,
who resided in the Royal York-crescent, and assured her he
had gut a license for their marriage in London, and promised
that if she accompanied him there the ceremony should be
at once performed. Believing his representations, and
confiding in his honour, she consented to leave her father's
house unknown to him or any part of her family. The time
chosen fur her leaving home was on the night of last Tuesday
fortnight, and while her father, her mother, an 1 the family
were engaged in a prayer meeting at their own house, she
managed to hand a small trunk containing a part of her wearing
apparel to Bertram, and immediately after left herself an ac-
companied him, Bartram, by the railroad to Londor. They
arrived in town at an early hour on the following ( Wednesday)
morning when Bertram took her to a house opposite to Drury-
lane, which he said was his aunt's, and where he wished her to
stop, but observing so much of what she conceived to be gross
misconduct going on there, she refused to remain beyond that
morning, and the following night she slept at the Bull and
Mouth Inn.
Mr. NO&TOIt—Do you know the name of the person who
keeps the house near Drury-lane, to which you had been taken,
and who Bartram represented as his aunt ? Prisoner—l do
not, Sir, there is no name over the door, but merely the
initials H. S., the H being large and the S small.
The prisoner proceeded to say that, after bleeping at the
Bull and Mouth one night, she took a lodging in King Ed-
ward-street, and continued to occupy it up to the present
time. She was visited there by Bartram, who promised her
day after day to produce the license for their marriage,
but who put it off from some excuse or other. On-- Friday
night last she reluctantly accompanied him to the house of
his aunt, as he called her, where he kept her to a late hour,
when he told her that her father had offered 201. for her ap-
prehension, said the officers were searching for her in all
directions, and that the only security she had for her personal
safety was to sleep there that night. Under the peculir cir-
cumstances she consented to stop, and a bed was ordered for
herself alone. Previous to going to bed Bartram prevailed
upon her to take a tumbler full of what he called " Temperance
cordial," and after taking it she felt her head quite giddy, and
it subsequently produced a stupifying effect. While in bed
she beard Bartram in the room, and seeing him about to take off
his boots she threatened to scream aloud if he did not at once
retire from the apartment. He did so then, but subsequently
returned and got to bed with her without her being
then aware of his presence. In the morning she was so ill
that Bertram had to send twice for a surgeon to see her. On
the same morning Bertram handed her what he called a saline
draught, and desired her to take it. She drank a small por-
tion of it, and found it so nauseous that she refused to take any
more, and what she had taken had made her so ill that she
was obliged to discharge its contents. Bartram was at this time
in the room reading a book, and having got up to go to the win-
dow, she took up the book, and found under it a paper, which
had evidently been recently emptied of its contents, and upon
which was written the word "Poison." She spoke to and asked
him how the paper came there, and what it had contained? And
he replied, nothing, and endeavoured to get tke paper out of
her hand, but in the struggle for it it got torn. As soon as she
was able to be moved, he took her home in a cab to her lodg-
ings, and from that time to the present she had not seen
On Monday eveninglast, however, she received a note from him.
the purport of which was, that by the time she received it he
would he no more, as ho had jumped off the bridge, and he
hoped she would follow his example. This, of course, made
her wretched and miserable in her mind, but she had no recol-

father of Bertram was a *
son being somewhat gild, he was sent to sea, and was at
present the mate of a ship. Some days after she had come
from the country, she had overwound her gold watch, worth
'201., and broke the mainspring, and
Bartram said ha
would
get it repaired, and took •it with him for that purpose. He
subsequently told her he had left it to be repaired at the shop
of Mr. Mott, in Choepside, but since Monday she called there,
and no such watch had been left. Bertram also took away two
rings, one of them of considerable value, and the last sovereign
she had, and left her without anything except the few articles
of clothing she had brought with het.
Mr. NORTON remarked that much allowance should be mute
for the prisoner under the unfortunate circumstances in which
she was placed, and if her statement was true, and he had no
reason to doubt it, there could be but one opinion of the infa-
mous conduct of hoe seducer, who, not content with destroying

TETE FATAL DIEL A T GOSPORT.
INQUEST CONTINUED.
PORTSMOUTH, TIIITRSDAY.—The inquest on the body of Mr.
Seton was resumed yesterday after our report left.
Andrew Rogers Savage, Lieutenant and Acting-Adjutant of the
Royal Marine Artillery, deposed, that he Is a subseriber to the
King's Roams, of which Mr. Hollingsworth is the proprietor. Wig.-
_ ness acted as steward, and was present at the rooms on Monday,
• the 10th cf May last. Know the deceased Mr. Seton, who was
present on that occasion. Knew Lieut. Hawkey, who was also
paesent. Mrs. Hawkey was also present. Knew Mr. Rowles, Mr.
Mauginn, and Lieut. Ps m, who were also present. Ido net 'wow
upon what terms Mr. Hawkey and Mr. Seton were on that evening.
I was not a witness to any quarrel between them. Ido not knew
upon what terms Mr. Hawkey and Mr. Seton were on that evening.
I was not a witness to any quarrel between them. I did not know
that they retired from the ball. room. I took Mr. Hawkey out of
the ball-room in consequence of what Mr. Rowles said to me when
in the card-room. I told Mr. Hawkey that Mr. Rowlee had in.
formed me that lie (Mr. Hawkey) had called Mr. Solon a black.
guard and a scoundrel, and Mr. Rowles had wished me to give
him my advice upon the subject, and to know whether I would
advise him to refer it to his commanding officer, Colonel Jones, or
not. I told him I would not mix myself up with his affairs. I
was then asked, as I was steward of the rooms, whether I would
speak to Mr. Hawkey upon the subject. I said I had no
objection, as steward of the room, to do so. Mr. Hawkey, in re..
ply, told me the business could not be arranged there; that he had
received an injury, not an insult. This is the substance of the
conversation I had with Mr. Hawkey. After that conversation I
did not see Mr. Seton or Mr. Hawkey, and left the rooms before
the soiree terminated. I was alone with Mr. Hawkey when the
above conversation took place. Mr. Hawkey atm stated to me
that Mr. Seton bad refused to meet him, as " light cavalry never
meet infantry." I saw Mr. Hawkey the next morning about nine
o'clock ; he told me Mr. Rowles had been to him to arrange a
meeting between him and Mr. Seton, which I understood to be a
lusetild-ffieettng. He told me he was then going to look RR
pistols, and then we parted. I did not see him again. I observed
Mr. Seton dance twice with Mrs. Hawkey. I did not make any
report to Colonel Jones of the fact that there was likely to be a
breach of the peace.
Mr. Jenkins, surgeon, of High-street, Gosport, deposed—Oa
the evening of Tuesday, the 20th of May last, a car
riage stopped at my doer, conveying a messenger, who
requested to see me. I Inquired his business with me, when
he stated that my attendance was required at Brown-
down, wh.:ee a gentleman was bleeding to death. On
my road to Brown-down I was stopped in the bay in conse-
quence of seeing some persons looking out for me, as I supposed,
near Dr. Burney's cottage, Stokes-bay. On walking a little dis-
tance, I observed a small beat pulling in shore, and signalling me
to walk In that direction. I went to the boat and was requeetied to
go on board a small yacht lying off. When I got on board the
' yacht I found Mr. Seton, the deceased, lying on his back on a board.
Some gentlemen were on board with deceased whom I did not
know, nor do I now. I found Mr. Seton in a state of extreme
weakness, and faintness from loss of blood. The gentlemen were
endeavouring to keep him up by throwing water on his faee. The
pulse was scarcely perceptible. They had put a strong ligature round
the thigh, binding both extremities of the wound, especially
the outer. The bleeding had quite stopped through faintness.
I did not at that time remove the ligature from and examine
the wound ; the yacht was so small, and as the bleeding was
stopped, I thought it impolitic to remove the ligature. I adminis.
tered a little brandy and water, and the yacht sailed on. The gen-
tlemen on board expressed the greatest desire that the patient should
be taken to Hasler. [Witness here stated that as the patient was
refused admittance to Hasler, not being a naval officer, they carried
him to the Quebec Hotel, Portsmouth.] I had him immediately
undressed and placed in bed. Soon after Dr. Mortimer came. I
then took off the bandages and inspected the wound, which was
just above the bone of the great trochanter, and was, I have no
doubt, caused by a pistol ball. The wound commenced on the right
hip passing across the lower part of the belly, and through the walls
of the belly, the cavity of which it did not enter. The ball passed out
of the left groin. There was a very considerable degree of swelling,
extravasation of fluid in the right groin and scrotum. The ball
entered on the right side. There was no bleeding at that time.
By half-past 10 o'clock the circulation was sufficiently established
to satisfy me that the patient was doing well, and to enable me to
leave him with safety. There was no bleeding at the wound at
that time, nor up to the time of the operation performed by Mr.
Liston. I visited him daily. The next day the temperature of
the skin was completely restored; a reaction had taken place. I
considered the deceased to be in a very dangerous state from
the beginning from the large quantity of blood he had lost
previous to my seeing him. It was arterial blood, which
led me to suspect that some artery of importance was
wounded. Deceased was going on pretty fairly up
to the Tuesday following, the 27th inst., when we
discovered a pulsation in a tumour which had formed in the groin,
and which had not existed before that visit. We (Drs. Stewart,
Mortimer, and myself) consulted together respecting the treatment
to be adopted, and we arrived at the conclusion that an artery of
considerable magnitude had been injured, and determined that
since it was possible that such a degree of bleeding might come
on as might destroy the patient's life at once, it was necessary to
cut off the supply of blood from the limb, to tie a large artery above
the seat of the injury—the external iliac artery. I considered the
more time that elapsed the greater the propability of sudden
danger. We then communicated the state of the ease to the
patient, and told him that an operation was necessary, and that
the operation was a serious one, when he (deceased) expressed
his willingness so submit to any operation deemed necessary in his
position. Mr. Liston arrived from town on Friday evening, the
30th ult., when we immediately consulted; the result of which
was, that the operation of tying the external iliac artery was se-
solved upon, but Mr. Liston was of opinion that there was no oc-
casion for any immediate hurry. He then left the patient, and we
met again at eight o'clock the next morning, when the operation
was performed (in the presence of ourselves, and Mr. Sempson and
Mr. Potter, surgeons, from London) by Mr. Liston, with the ut-
most skill and judgment, but was attended with unusual difficulty
from the fatness of the patient. The deceased suffered a great deal
the night after the operation. I considered him in great danger
from the first time I visited him; but the performanoe of the ope-
ration rendered it necessary that two or three weeks should pass
away before we could give a decided opinion with regard to the
patient's recovery. He died the next day (Monday). I am not
prepared to say that the operation performed by Mr. Liston killed
deceased, as I have not examined the body since death.
By Mr. Field—Death would have been the inevitable conse-
quence had the operation not taken place.
James Allan, M.D., deputy medical inspector, and first surgeon
of Hasler Hospital, sworn—l made a posi mortem examination of
the body of the late James Alexander Seton, in consequent)e of an
order I received from the Coroner. I made the examination yes-
terday at three o'clock. I found three wounds, one upon the upper
part of the right hip, another upon the opposite groin, and the
third in the position in which it is usual to perform the operation
of tying up the external iliac artery; the latter was an incised
wound about six inches in length. I traced the wound from
the right hip to the left groin, and found an effusion of
coagulated blood, which had caused a tumour en the right
side of the pubes, and which extended down into the scrotum.
I think the operation performed by Mr. Liston was absolutely ne-
cessary, under the circumstances of the aneurism and tumour ex-
isting. My decided opinion is that deceased died of peritoneal its-
flamsnation following the operation.
It being half past nine o'clock, the inquest was adjourned until
two o'clock on Thursday.
THURSDAY.—At two o'clock the jury assembled, and very soon
proceeded to the examination of the witnesses, the number of whom
appear to be daily increasing in such progression, that the inquiry
cannot possibly terminate for some days.
The Coroner issued his warrant for the burial of the body of
Mr. Seton last night, and the interment will take place at
Fordingbridge, Hants, in the family vault, on Tuesday next. The
remains were removed to the late residence of the deceased,
Queen's-terrace, Southsea, this morning.
Lieutenant Hawkey and the seconds have net been heard of up
to the present time.

Dr. John Mortimer, M.D., was the first witness examined to-
, day. He gave his residence as Upper South street, Gosport. He
said—l did not know the deceased until I saw him wounded. On
Tuesday evening, the 20th of May, I rewired a message from Mr.
Jenkins, requesting I would meet him at the Quebec Hotel, to visit
a gentleman who had been wounded at Brown.down. I proceeded
thither immediately, and on my arrival found that he had been
landed from a vessel a few minutes before. I had never seen him
before, but he was the deceased, James Alexander Seton. In con-
sequence of his having been placed on a bier for the more easy
transition from the vessel, and it being too wide to admit of his

the influence ofthe wound he had received and the supposed bleeding
that had supervened, he was in a state of great bodily prostration.
Mr. Jenkins and myself assisted in carrying Mr. Sewn and placing
him on the bed in which he died. There was no bleeding, but the
cellary texture was loaded with blood. The scrotum and organs
of generation were equally so, and deeply discoloured. We recom-
mended a little hot brandy and water, and applied blankets to the
extremities, which were equally cold, and he soon revived. At
this stag' I said to him, "Sir, you must have stood well up to
your mail, or else you must have been shot dead." There was an
oblong tumour on the right of the symphasis pubis. The rest of
this witness's evidence related chiefly to the mode in which the
patient was treated till the operation was performed by Mr. Litton,
which lie also described. He concluded by saying the operation
was necessary to his life. Ultimately he would have died if the
operation had not been performed.
By Mr. Field—The cause of death was peritoneal inflammation.
The torn artery was not the immediate cause of death.
James Stewart, M.D., of St. Thomas-street, Portsmouth, sworn
—I knew the deceased, James Alexander Seton. I visited him on
the 21st of May last, at eight o'clock in the evening. He appeared
extremely exhausted from loss of blood. Deceased lived abort
sixty hours after the performance of the operation. The primary
cause of death was the effect of a ball passing through the body of
deceased. The secondary cause of death was peritoneal inflamma-
tion, which set in after the operation. The deceased on the se-
cond day I saw him put this question to me, " Do you consider me
in a state of danger P" I replied, " I do." He then made a
statement to me relative to the infliction of the wound. Deceased
said, " I am aware of my danger, from your opinion, as well as that
of the other medical gentlemen, and were I to die to-merrow I
know not why I was shot;" and this he repeated several days after.
I sat up with deceased on Sunday night, the Ist of Ju,,e,
and on several occasions during that night I
