This line is intended to commence at the Port of Wisbech, by a
junction with the line of railway now forming from Lynn, and pro-
ceed by Thorney to Peterborough, there uniting with the branch of
the London and Birmingham Railway to Northampton, and the
Peterborough and Syston branch of the Midland Counties Railway,
forming a through line from Yarmouth, Norwich, Dereham, Swaff-
ham, Lynn, and Wisbech, to Northampton, Birmingham, Derby,
Nottingham, and the whole of the northern and western parts of
England. The entire distance being completed In about 18 miles.
The importance of this railway, thcitigh only 18 miles in length,
will be at once seen by an inspection of the map, when the following
points will be self-evident.
1. That the port of Wisbech Is the nearest sea-port for Birming-
ham, Staffordshire, and the Midland districts of England.
2. That this line will open the whole of the manufacturing and
mineral districts of the Midland Counties and the Potteries to Wis.
bech, the nearest port for Belgium, Holland, Germany, and the nor-
thern States of Europe.
3. That by the formation of this line a direct railway ommunica-
tion will be opened between the port of Wisbech, and the ports of
Southampton, Bristol, Gloucester, and Liverpool.
4. That this line will unite the Birmingham and Midland Counties
system of railway with those of Norfolk, communicating with Nor-
wich and Yarmouth.

Application for shares (which must in all casesbe in the usual form,
and accompanied by a reference to a banker or to a member of the
Provisional Committee) or prospectuses, may be made to the Pro-

SIVAVENEY VALLEY and GREAT YAR.
At a Public Meeting 'olfrOgeTlßmAbitnltoYf. the town and borough
of Great Yarmouth, held In pursuance of a requisition to the Mayor,
at the Town hall of Great Yarmouth, on Saturday, Sept, 27, 1845,

The Worshipful the 111AYOR in the Chair,
It was moved byßight GEORGE DANBT PALMER, Esq., seconded by A,
STEWARD, Esq., and resolved unanimously,
That it is the opinion of this Meeting, that at present YarMOiltl
is without adequate railway accommodation between Yarmouth and
London, the Norfolk Railway being 146 miles, 23 miles farther than
the accustomed coach-road, not to mention the very inconvenient
distance of the present railway terminus from the shipping and places
of public bueiness.
It was moved by Mr. WILSIIEXE, Esq., M.P., seconded by Simon
Colts, Esq., and resolved, with six dissentients,
That this meeting strongly deprecates the attempt of the Norfolk
Company to monopolise the railway communication between Yar-
mouth and London, and cannot but regard the proposition to accom-
modate Yarmouth by a circuitous route from Beccles, across a na-
vigable river at Reedham, to join on a line terminating on the west
side of the river Bure, and at the extreme end of the town, as
inimical to the inhabitants and highly injurious to the trade of this
port.

It was moved by BENJAMIN FENN, Esq., Seconded by THOMAS
larris, jun., Esq., and resolved unanimously,
That the contemplated railway, called the Waveney Valley and
Great Yarmouth Railway, presents to this port, and especially to
its fishing, a convenient and desirable communication between Yar-
mouth and London, while it takes a route shorter by 23 miles than
the line by Cambridge. It passes through and preserves a com-
munication with a dense population along the line, which has long
profitably existed, full which it is exceedingly desirable to main-
tain. At the same time, this meeting would express its unqualified
confidence in the Directors who have so kindly consented to under-
take the conduct of the Bill in the ensuing Parliament.
It was moved by SAMUEL PAorr, Esq. ; seconded by A. Per;atzs,
Esq. ; and resolved unanimously,
That this Meeting pledges itself to give its best support e
and secure the success of the Waveney Valley and GreatYarmouth
Railway.

(Signed) - WM. HURRY PALMER, 3fayor, Chairman.
The Right Worshipful the Mayor having left the chair, it was
unanimously resolved,
That the thank of this Meeting be given to the Mayor for his able
and impartial conduct in the chair.

This Railway will commence at the important town of Wolver-
hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, Trysull and
Claverley, to the manufacturing town of Brldgnorth ; 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 the 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, wkich 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 lie 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 satisfactory to the promoters to state that they have the sanc-
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 project has
been announced in competition with its acknowledged claim on 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 the public.
with existing or projected Companies. and also to nominate the first
Directors of the Company.
Power will be under Act to limit yof
.hareholders to thetaken amount ofthe their subscription,theand tpoonsibilit 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 Solicitors,
Bankers, or Brokers of the- Company.
Applications for shares, in the usual form, to be made, not later
than the 12th of October, to the respective Solicitors and the follow-
ing Brokers :

The object of this line of Railway is to connect the towns of Faken-
ham, Holt, and Cromer, with the important borough and seaport of
Kings Lynn, and by means of the various projected lines; in that
neighbourhood, to extend the communication to every part of Nor-
folk, Cambridge, Lincolnshire, and the North and West of England, a
connexion which must materially increase the importance of Lynn,
at a time when that successful national undertaking—" The great
level of the Wash"—ls rapidly progressing towards accomplishment.
The delightful town of Cromer, which is a favourite resort, will by
means of this railroad become easily accessible not only to the more
immediate district, but also to the visitors from both the Midland and
Northern Counties, who will thereby be enabled with facility to avail
themselves of its advantages.
The important town of Fakenham, together with Holt, surrounded
by a rich agricultural country, will, by this line, obtain the advantage
not only of general railway conveyance, but also of an intimate con-
nexion with the flourishing ports of Kings Lynn and Wisneach, places
of considerable importance, from their integral trade and vast experts,
together with the Several places connected with them by means of the
present existing railways.
Incontestable evidence was received by the Parliamentary Com-
mittees during the last session, that wheat and all other —rain was
usually from 2s. to Is. rer quarter lower In price in the neighbourhood
Of this line than at Norwich—a depreciation which will be completely
obviated by this line of railway—the same effect will equally or even
more strongly appear with respect to all artificial manures, and the
consequent great increase in value of the whole of the land in this
district.

This Line, when formed, will be the nearest road to London, via
Lynn, by upwards of twenty miles, for all places north of the Line,
and it will be in the immediate proximity of, and will afford ACCOM-
modation to; Holkham, Rainham, Melton Constable, Houghton, and
nil ington.

count
think It unnecessary to present any detailed ac-
count ofthe presumed revenue, as the importance of the orominunica-
Mil, and the extent of the population, must ensure a profitable re-
turn upon the capital to be employed. Tho country presents no en-
gineering difficulties whatever, on the eontrary, it oilers unexcep-
tionable gradients.
The Directors have been fortunate in securing the services of a
most competent and thoroughly practical Engineer, who will person-
ally devote his energies to the completion of the undertaking.
The surveys are proceeding with, and the necessary steps have
been taken to secure a Bill in the ensuing session, as well as to limit
the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their Shares, and
to insure an allowance of 4/. per cent. interest upon the Deposits,
until the opening of tile line.
A very powerful Local and General Committee will be shortly ad-
vertised ; in the meantime applications for Shares are to be made to

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
An elderly man, who stated his name to be James Wyatt,
and was reported to be a Lieutenant-Colonel, and a young
man, named Jonas Quested, were brought before the Lord
Mayor, charged with a misdemeanour of the most revolting
description.
George Foster, policeman 425, stated that in consequence
of information winch he had received, he hadwatched Wyatt
sometimes three or four times a week, and had seen quite
enough of the conduct of that individual to show him that
there was strong ground fqr the very worst suspicion about
him. At last witness saw Wyatt and Quested, who met in
the street, go into a public-house together, and observed what
confirmed him•and two other witnesses in the opinion he had
formed of the character of the old man.
The evidence of Foster was corroborated to the full extent
by Arthur Finn, policeman 276, and the waiter of the house.
A solicitor cross-examined the witness for the prisoner
Wyatt.
The prisoner Quested, upon being asked by the Lord Mayor
whether he wished to say anything, stated that he first saw
Colonel Wyatt in King 'William-street, at a shop, where the
Colonel called as a en:tomer, about- two months ago, ar
where he (Quested) served 'behind the counter • "
afterwards saw the Colonel in the street, and was i
him into the public-house, and that they were not lonb
gether before he discovered what soot of person the Cuhme
was.

The prisoners were committed for trial at the Central
Criminal Court, and the Lord Mayor directed that the City
Solicitor should be instructed to prosecute.
GUILDHALL.
The examination of Daniel Garratt, the railway thief, was
resumed before Mr. Alderman H. Hughes. The Lord Mayor
elect and Mr. Alderman Challis were also on the bench.
The justice-room was crowded with persons interested in
the case.
Mr. Clarkson, for the prosecution, began by calling a wit-
ness to complete the first charge, that the prisoner stole, and
Maynard, the estate agent in Howland-street, received, the
letter-case, containing bills to the amount of 2,0004 the pro-
pay of Mr. Vaughan Prance, of Nether Stowey, Bridg-
water, solicitor.
John Rowland Wilson, the landlord of the Blossoms Inn,
Lawrence-lase, stated that he knew the prisoner Garratt ;
he became acquainted with him eight years ago by lodging
in the same house. On the 7th of August a friend left town,
and witness went to see him on the.4th or sth. On which-
ever day it was, the prisoner came to the Blossoms Inn,
which l►e had not visited before, or since, and stayed a short
time. It was about noon ; lie asked the prisoner to wait till
after dinner, and then he would accompany him to-the west
end of the town, where he was going to see a friend. The
prisoner declined, saying he was waiting for a friend.
It was on the sth of August that Maynard attended,
about noon, at the Guildhall Coffee-house with Mr. Prance's
desk, when lie was given into custody, and it was presumed
Maynard was the person the prisoner said he was waiting for.
Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES committed the prisoner on this
case.

➢lr. Alderman H. HuGnE3 said there had been nothijig in
his conduct :to justify any such observations. He had dis-
played an ability and discretion in pursuing the investigation
for which the public were infinitely indebted to him.

MAIILBOROUGH-STREET.
Walter King was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged
with stealing a valuable print from the shop of Mr. Pizzali, of
Regent-street.
The prisoner was seen to go into the shop and take up the
print and walk away with it on his shoulder. He was pur-
sued, and stopped with the property in his possession.
The prisoner, when asked to state what he had to offer in
defence, burst into tears, and said he had taken the print
through distress. He bad formerly been in respectable cir-
cumstances, but latterly had become so much reduced, that
he had no settled place of abode, and procured a scanty living
by carrying loads for those who chose to give him a job. Ile
was well known at that court from the circumstance of his
father, a baker in the parish, having fur many years supplied
the resident magistrate's family with bread. The prisoner
added that he had been an inmate of more than one lunatic
asylum.
The evidence being complete, the depositions were taken,
and the prisoner was fully committed.
LAMB r. TH.
Mr. Vickery, a solicitor, attended before Mr. Henry, at the
request of that magistrate, to give an explanation in refer •
ence to a statement which he had made respecting the con-
nexions of the Rev. James West, and also to hear the state-
ments of Ferguson and Horsford, officers of the Mendicity
Society, in reference to the pi isoner.-
Mr. Ifeernr, addressing Mr. Vickery, reminded him of his
appearing at the examination of a pri oner who had given
the name of Fletcher, and his making a statement relative to
the prisoner's high connexions, and also giving the names of
distinguished' persons as his near relations. Since the publi-
cation of the case, he (Mr. Henry) had received several
letters relative to the prisoner, and one from Earl Delawarr
denying the accuracy of his (Mr. Vickery's) assertion that
the prisoner was a nephew of his. He (Mr. Henry) was
anxious to hear from Mr. Vickery whether the statement he
had made about the prisoner was from circumstances which
were personally known to him, or were merely derived from
the prisoner's own representations ?
Mr. -Vickery replied, he would state the whole of the cir-
cumstances, and all he knew about the prisoner. About the
. year 1830 or 1831 he first became acquainted with the pri-
soner, through his applying to his (Mr. Vickery's) brother
to dispose of some shares in an insurance-office, and the mat-
ter was referred to him to ascertain the value of the shares,
&c. The result was that he advised his brother to have no-
thing to do with the shares, but, notwithstanding, an ac-
quaintance commenced between himself and Mr. West,
whom he then considered to be a person of great respectabi-
lity and highly connected. West had not only represented
himself to him as the nephew of Lord Delawarr, but he had
frequently seen him write notes which he represented were
intended for the Noble Earl, written in the most familiar style,
and beginning "My dear uncle ;" but he (Mr. Vickery)
could not take upon himself to say that they had ever been
posted.
Mr. HENRY here remarked that the Earl Delawarr had no
brother, and it was impossible, therefore, that the prisoner
could be a nephew of his.
Mr. Vickery proceeded to say, that besides the prisoner.'s
representations, there was another circumstance which led
him to believe the prisoner stood in the degree of relationship
to the Noble Earl he stated, and that was, he was present
when West gave an order to Mr. Holder, of Battle-bridge, to
execute the arms of Lord Delawarr in stained glass, for the
purpose of his presenting it to " his uncle ;" but Mr. Holder
had fortunately neglected to attend to his directions. From
about 1834, until two years and a half ago, he lost sight of
the prisoner, and the first place lie saw him was close to the
London-bridge Wharf. He then represented that he bad not
long arrived from the Continent; that his wife was at the
Spread Eagle Hotel • that he was in want of some cash, and
asked him (Mr. Vickery) to get a small bill done for him.
Such was his opinion of his respectability and honour, that
he actually got a bill of his for 40/. discounted by a friend,
and that bill he had since to pay himself. After his first
examination at this Court his wife called upon him (Mr.
Vickery), and requested he would interfere in her husband's
behalf, and having clients to visit at Horsemongerelane gaol,
he saw the prisoner there, and he also requested lie would
assist him professionally. The evidence against him was,
however, so conclusive of his guilt, that he told him he could
be of no service to.him whatever, and that his beat defence
would be the fact as he had represented, that he had been
driven to the commission of the offence through distress and
that alone. He (Mr. Vickery), however, promised to attend
his examination, and did so, but it was not his intention to
have interfered in any way. His Worship would recollect
that what he had stated was after Mr. Henry bad committed
the prisoner for trial, • so that his -etaternent had not influ-
enced his worship's decision. He wished also to add that he
had not the least idea, when lie made the statement, that it
would find its way before the public; and he regretted ex-
ceedingly that he should have been unintentionally led to
snake a statement calculated to give the slightest pain or
annoyance to any one. Indeed, upon seeing the contradic-
tion in the papers, it was his (Mr. Vickers's) intention to
have written to Lord Delawarr, end also to have waited upon
his worship to exonerate himself from any intention to mis-
lead or misrepresent.
Mr. HENRY was quite satisfied that Mr. Vickery had been
himself imposed upon by the prisoner's representations, which
were so well calculated to mislead. The publication of the
case afforded additional proof of the beneficial results of the
publication of cases at police-courts, as it had brought forth
many facts relative to the histoty and crimes of the prisoner
beneficial to the ends of justice. In the first place the pri-
soner gave the name of James Fletcher, end had it not acci-
dentally transpired that his name was different, and that the
statement of Mr. Vickery obtained publicity, he would have
been tried for an offence which before a jury might be made
to appear very trifling and induced by actual distress, and
lie would perhaps have been acquitted or let off will' a slight
punishment. The publication of the case, however, attracted
the attention of the officers of the Mendicity Society, two of
whom were then present, and the consequence was the dis-
closure of his being a notorious begging letter impostor.
Horsford, one of the Mendicity officers, said he was pre-
sent at the prisoner's conviction, and then stated. to the ma-
gistrate the fact of his being a begging letter impostor. He
also handed in a card, . which be found- on a notorious im-
postor who called himself the Hon. Mr. Stafford, who had
been examined before the Lord Mayor, upon which was
written " The Rev. Mr. West, M.A., 1/.," which, he said,
showed the connexion between him and the prisoner.
The card was here shown to Mr. Vickery, and he at once
recognised the Writing to be that of the prisoner West.
Mr. Vickery declared he had not the slightest idea that
West was the character he had been described. He was per-
fectly satisfied that the father and mother of the prisoner
were respectable persons, and he had in his hand a letter
from his mother declining to do anything for him, and
stating, that for some considerable time his father and bro-
ther
had ceased even to open his letters to them.
Mr. HENRY expressed himself satisfied with the explana-
tion of Mr. Vickery, and.directed Ferguson and Horsford to
attend the trial of the prisoner at the ensuing Surrey Ses-
sions, and if found guilty to put the Court in possession of
all his previous misconduct.
The reverend delinquent still remains in prison, and it is
very likely he will remain there until his trial, as from his
previous character and conduct it is not likely he will find
bail.
