RAILWAY TO HARWICH.
A meeting of the Shareholders in the original line of
railway from Colchester to Harwich, was held yesterday
at the offices of the Harwich Railway Company, in Ab-
church-lane, William Adam Smith, Esq., in the chair.
The attendance was highly respectable.
This line was originally planned in connection with
the Eastern Counties, but, from some cause or other, it
was not actively proceeded in. Two other lines were
submitted to Parliament during the last session, one
planned by Mr. Braithwaite, the other by Mr. Locke ;
and against these two the present line was incidentally
brought under the notice of the Committee. The pro-
moters of Mr. Braithwaite's and Mr. Locke's lines, after
contesting each other's plans for several weeks, ulti-
mately united, but this step did not win the con-
fidence of Parliament, by whom the desired Act
was refused. The promoters of the original plan
at their meeting yesterday, after hearing addresses from
W. A. Smith, Esq., Sir Henry Webb, Mr. Gunston, and
Mr. Myles, unanimously passed resolutions expressive
of their unabated confidence in the excellence of their
line, and of their determination to apply to Parliament
during the ensuing session for an Act authorising its
construction. The line is to commence from the Eastern
Union branch, about two miles to the eastward of Col-
chester, and to run thence direct to Harwich, the gra-
dients throughout being of a very easy character. The
principle landowners on the line are stated to be most
favourable to the project ; and the entire expense of its
construction is guaranteed by the engineer (Mr. Hocking)
not to exceed 125,0001. After ordering the resolutions
of the meeting, the report of the engineer and that of the
secretary (John Thompson, Esq.) to be published in the
newspapers, thanks were voted to the chairman, and the
meeting separated.

JUDGES' CHAMBERS.—Yesterday Mr. Justice Maul e
made a number of orders for the discharge of persons in
prison on debts not exceeding 201. As many as twenty-
five affidavits were yesterday made in Whitecross-street
prison, and taken to the Judges' Chambers, on which
the parties were discharged, his Lordship only requiring
an affidavit with a copy of causes to satisfy him that the
debt did not exceed 201.,. to grant the application, leav-
ing the parties to apply to the Court out of which the
judgment was obtained, if the discharge was procured in
fraud, or if the conduct of the party rendered him liable
to be taken as specified by the 59th section of the Act.
By the discharge the debt is not extinct, and all property
is liable to be taken in execution to pay the same. Pry-
ment of a debt can be ordered by instalments.
NEw IRON STEAM FRIGATE.—Messrs. Ditchburn
and Mare have been favoured with an order from Go-
vernment to build a new iron steam frigate, to be called
the Trident ; the name is chosen from the GenQral
Steam Navigation Company's ship Trident, now running
on the London and Edinburgh station, which ship had
the honour of conveying her Majesty and Royal Con-
sort from Edinburgh on our Sovereign's late to
So.)tLuci.
