surrounding district ; the route to which, from London and the
north, is through Taunton. '
A well remunerating passenger traffic may hence be expected.

The country also contains between 80 and 100 mills and fac-
tories, many of which are worked by steam in aid of water-power,
and many more of the proprietors will avail themselves of steam-
power when coals shall be procurable at a reduced rate by this
railway. The millers are most desirous of having the markets of
South Wales opened to them. Several influential coal proprietors
of South Wales are members of the Provisional Committee.
The country also possesses several extensive lime quarries, fir
manure; the lime is burnt with culm brought from Wales ;
the conveyance both of the culm and lime is at present attended
with much expense to the agriculturist. The line will also be of
high importance to this agricultural district by opening to it the
markets of Taunton, Tiverton, South Molton, Barnstaple, in the
north of Devon, Exeter, and London. The towns of Taunton,
llminster, Chard, Crewkerne, Beaminster, Broadwindsor, Brid.
port, Axminster, Charmouth, and Lyme Regis, will be connected
by the line, and derive from it supplies of coals, culm, timber,.dry
goods, and other articles of import. The line will afford to those
towns and their populous neighbourhoods, increased facilities of
communication with other lines of railroad.
The usual prevalence of westerly winds during the winter months
is so great as to render the passage round the Land's-end very un-
certain. The facilities offered by the proposed railway will obviate
such uncertainty, save many hundred miles of dangerous sea pas-
sage; and more than compensate for the charges attending re-ship-
ment at Bridport from Watchet, particularly in the article of
Welsh coals, new in great demand in and about London for steam-
engines, steam-boats, and other purposei.
The harbour of Bridport admits vessels at spring.tides of 350 11
tons burthen ; it receives large supplies of coals, culm, flax, hemp,
Baltic and American timber, iron, slate, tallow, staves, avid nu.
merous other articles ; which, in the aggregate, last year, amounted
to nearly 40,000 tons, a large portion of which consisted of flax •
and hemp, for the numerous manufactories of yarns, sailcloth,
sacks, nets, lines, twines, and linen goods, which when wrought
would pass along the line to the two ports, for shipment, or to
other railways.
The harbour of Watcbet, at spring.tides, admits vessels of 200
tons burthen, and carries on an extensive and important daily tad,
with the ports of Tenby, Llanelly, Swansea, Neath, Cardiff, New-
port, and Merthyr Tydvil, in coals, culm, corn, flour, and other
iron, and other articles

also a considetable corn, malt, flour, and goods trade with Bristol,
and employs therein several vessels regularly
Both the harbours are capable of being much improved, and
belong to proprietors able and willing to improve them to meet the
increased wants of the community.
The port of Watchet, as it is, has the largest and most important
trade on the English side of the Bristol Channel. This Railway
will increase that trade fourfold, and therewith its own prosperity.
The shore contiguous to Watchet exclusively abounds with lime
of the most celebrated description, both for water-works and ex-
terior building, being the same as the universally known and cele-
brated Aberthaw lime, which also is on the directly opposite coast;
and at and around Watchet are extensive corn and flour mills,
paper mills, and clothing mills.
The fbregoing facts show that the line must have a very exten-
sive goods traffic.
It is not intended to put forward Watchet as a packet station
either for Ireland or South Wales; nor does this maasure require
such aid. No portion of the coast of the Bristol Channel, east of
Ilfracombe, can have the slightest pretension to be, or be
made, a packet station. Ia the first place, it is obvious that
the railway in actual progress from the Government Dock-yard
at Pembroke (or Hobbe's Point, 100 miles further down the Brie.
tol Channel) will take all the packet trade from the south of Ireland :
Liverpool takes Dublin ;whilst Ilfracome (50 miles west of Watchet),
and Swansea (directly opposite to Ilfracombe), maintain a regular
steam-packet passenger and goods traffic; and in the second place,
all the harbours on the English side east of Ilfracombe are dry, and
for a great length, at low water, the shores being very flat, and to
construct a harbour on them, to admit large class steamers and to
land passengers at all times of the tide, would, if not impracticable,
cost an enormous sum. To hold out expectations that either of
them might be such packet station, would for the above reasons be
delusive.
The extended North Devon line of railways will serve the port
of Ilfracombe and its packets.
A survey has been made by the engineers, who have reported
that the line is easy of construction, and will not interfere with any
park.
It aflbrda great satisfaction to the promoters to be enabled to
announce that the directors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway
Company have promised to give this measure their favourable con-
sideration, and the promoters entertain a sanguine expectation that

The object of this Company is to establish a direct line of rail-
way for passengers, goods, and commercial, mining, and agricul.
tural produce between the harbour of Watchet on the Bristol
Channel, and the harbour of Bridport on the English Channel, and
provide means of inland transit for a large proportion of the pro-
duce at present necessarily sent by the dangerous and uncertain
passage round the Land's End, and at the same time afford to the
intermediate rich and populous districts ready and convenient rail-
way communication.

it will receive their support. •
The neighbouring landowners and gentry are favourahle to the
measure, and all the merchants and traders both at Watchet and
Bridport, as well as the principal vial proprietors in South Wales,
and all persona throughout the line, entertain a high opinion of its
merits, and earnestly desire it.
Maniextensive landowners on the line, whose names do not
appear on the Provisional Committee, have yet expressed them-
selves as friends to the measure.
The Act will be applied for next session, and the liabilities will
be limited to the amount of -subscriptions, and interest at four
per cent. will be paid on all calls from the time of payment until
the opening of the line.
An early allotment of the shares will be made, and the usual
Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be exe-
cuted by the Shareholders when called upon.

IN MONMOUTHSHIRE, near to USK and MONMOUTH.
TWO capital FREEHOLD FARMS, together 274 ACRES of
EXCELLENT LAND, let to responsible tenantsat 3241. a year.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is in-tructed to an•
nounce for PUBLIC SALE, at the Auction Mart, Lon-
don, on THURSDAY, Nov. 6, at Twelve o'clock, in Two Lots,
A VERY DESIRABLE FREEHOLD PROPERTY, pre.
senting a most inviting opportunity for the investment of capital
upon solid security ; indeed, it presents a refreshing contrast, and
is one very much at variance with the overwhelming, although
plausible schemes with which this country is at present afflicted.
It comprises
TWO CAPITAL FREEHOLD FARMS,
TOGETHER 274 ACRES OF VERY SUPERIOR LAND,
in the most picturesque and delightful part of the admired county
of Monmouth, close to the
MARKET-TOWNS OF USK AND MONMOUTH,
and let to highly responsible tenants, at rents producing
THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOUR POUNDS.
As an investment this property is especially suited. The
Farms are most eligibly situate, and the tenants unexceptionable.
It shoPild seem that there is now in contemplation railways to con
nect this part of the favoured county with all those through whose
influence considerable increased value to the soil must be achieved ;
and it necessarily follows that ere long
A RENTAL APPROACHING
FOUR HUNDRED POUNDS A.YEAR

may be confidently expected.
THE LANGEVIEW FARM, OF 202 ACRES
of excellent arable, meadow, and pasture land, is within a mile
of the town of Usk, with a substantial farm-house, and all neces-
sary buildings, in the occupation of Mrs. Jane Blower, at a clear
yearly rent of 2441., and is nearly
ALL TITHE FREE. _ _

together with ten:alents and lands belonging, called Pwll y Pwka,
is situate in the parisi
cONT,IINING ABOUT 73 ACRES,
of Langattock.vibon.Avel, within five
miles of Monmouth, in the occupation of Mr. John Rose, at the
',early rent of 801.

Tl,O farms may be viewed on application to the tenants, and
printed particulars had, fourteen days prior to the sale, at the
prine.pal inns at Usk, 'Monmouth, Bristol, and Gloucester ; of A.
Waddtngton, Esq., solicitor, at Usk; the Auction Mart ; and at
Mr. G eorge Robins's offices, Covent-garden.

The direct line will be 48 miles in length, and will proceed from
Watchet tc Taunton, and thence bye
and
Beauchamp, and by
Crewkern
liminster to Chard, and by
populous 1 i n e
ab r oe
andt
opulent,
nf dthteaminster to Bridport
harbour. A branch will proceed out o
between Watchct and Taunton, directly Wiveliscombe. All
these towns and their neighbourhoods are
and many of them very much so, and the localities
fur their richness, fertility, beauty, and numerous residet remarkable
At Wiveliscombe this line will avail itself of the NorthgDenetvron
Railway to Taunton, and also westward; at Taunton it will
enter the station of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and thence
proceed to Mangerton, four miles short of Bridport, where it will
unite with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, one of the
Great Western lines of Railway, and thence proceed on that line
to Bridport Harbour.
It will also cross the proposed line from Yeovil to Exeter
about two miles west of Crewkerne.
The junction of the two Channels was long since deemed an im-
portant object. To effect it, surveys were successively made for a
ship canal by the late Mr. Rennie, Mr. Telford, and other scientific
men, who concurred in the importance of such a work in a na-
tional point of view ; the design was matured, and in 1824 an Act
of Parliament was passed ; and it stands recorded as the opinions of
Mr. Telford and Captain Nichols, that the canal would aflbrd a
remuneration to the subscribers of 16 N, per cent. on a capital of
1,71'2,844/.
The sum required for this work, being so much less than that
for the Ship canal ; the increased demand of a greatly increased
population, and the present vast commercial energies of the
country, make it manifest that goods may be conveyed by this
railway at far less than half the charge upon which Mr. Telford
and Captain Nichols formed their opinion.
The intended line from Minebead to Bridgewater, will meet
and cross this line near Watchet.
No railway, either made; or being made, or projected, will serve
the purposes which this important and favoured line will serve.
The country it will pass through possesses a population exceed-
ing 150,000. It leads to marine watering places of much resort—
Weymouth, Lyme, and Seaton on the English Channel shore, and
Linton, Minehead, and Blue Anchor on the shore of the Bristol
Channel. Taunton, which may now be considered the county
town of Somersetshire, has always been the market and trading
1 town of the country north-west of it, including Watchet and its

SECOND EDITION.

the demand for and supply of money, which are unexcepe
tionable on paper, are found very of, en utterly false or im-
practicable in the actual business of the world. And yct the
proneness to sacrifice the evidence of the facts to the condi-
tions of the theory continues to influence public men of the
highest attainments in dealing with even some of the most
important problems to be resolved in the arrange-
ment of capital and the conduct of trade. In the
list of witnesses now lying before us, we see some names
that must always command respect for their owners so long
as the possession of vast wealth and influence, and enligh-
tened views of their application, can give them high and
merited rank among their fellow-citizens. Nevertheless, it
seems to us that we can show, on a future occasion, very re-
markable discrepancies between the effect of their own evi-
dence to given questions and the conclusions they announce
themselves to have arrived at upon them. By far the most
valuable feature in this Parliamentary paper is the evidence
supplied to the Select Committee of 1818 by JOHN IRVINE,
Esq., M.P. It is a perfect essay on " the distinctions to be
taken between the theoretical and the practical operation of
the laws of usury, and the probable results of their repeal."
In many respects, though favourable to that repeal, this evi-
dence is prophetic of certain consequent inconveniences that
have actually ensued.
The single point to which we wish to direct the attention
of our readers at present is this; that creditors, who have so
generally exclaimed and petitioned against the alterations of
late years effected in the law of imprisonment for debt, would
have been much nearer the truth in ascribing the direct
frauds practised upon them, or the scandalous improvidence
of which their bankrupt debtors have been guilty, in nine
out of ten of the very cases the same creditors have
brought before the Legislature as exemplifying the evils
of the changes introduced into the said law,—to the re-
peal of the usury laws in the manner, and under the
conditions in which it has been effected by the Act of the
last reign. To show that the repeal of these laws has acted
adversely to creditors, we may refer, first, to the evidene
of Mr. COOK. He states, among other " disastrous results"
to which it had led, that he knows a case of a wine-mer-
chant who failed for 15,0001., his whole assets being 300/.;
some money-lender having " accommodated him" with ad-
vances on certain special advantage secured to the lender, at
an interest of from 20 to 30 per cent., " whereas if the party
had failed months before, and had not been thus tempted to go
on, there would have been a very fair dividend to his credi-
tors." Mr. G. J. GRAHAM, official assignee, says, "It is
very common now for bankrupts to come before me and
say that they have paid 6,7, 8,9, 10, or 12 per cent. for
money. Some of them have even paid as much as 40/. ; owe,
I believe, as much as 60 per cent." From the same witness
and Mr. GLYN, we learn that estates are more likely to be
exhausted under the new than under the old usury laws ;
and that the Bankruptcy Court complains of the undue faci-
lity which the repeal of the latter affords to unreal trans-
actions. In a future paper we shall endeavour to show
how remarkable a coincidence is to be traced between the ad-
missions of some of the most influential of the witnesses
examined as to the causes which render, occasionally, money
discounts, even by the Bank of England, on unimpeachable
security, inadequate to the legitimate demands of the com-
mercial world, and the arguments of those who contend, with
ourselves, that the laws which now regulate the currency
are the true causes of those fearful occasional panics, and that
constant depreciation of the wages for industrial labour,
which are two of the most enormous evils that our social
condition in this country is subject to.

Madrid journals of the 3d inst. have been received, but
they contain no intelligence of importance. A letter from
Cadiz, dated the 28th of September, in the Castellano, says :
" This evening ten brigands embarked in a boat, in order to
surprise an English ship which was at the bar. The crew
were fortunately on their guard. Not only were the brigands
repulsed, but the English likewise pursued them to a place
called Los Corrales, where the robbers landed, abandoning
their boat." The Barcelona Foment° of the 3d inst. pub-
lishes an order of the Minister of War to the Captain-
General of Catalonia, whereby all the corps of the army are
prohibited from wearing beards.
No business was done on the Madrid Bourse.

The Paris Moniteur at last publishes the official dispatches
detailing the late disastrous events in Algeria. They add no-
thing,
however, to the particulars already published. Every
exertion in the meantime is made by the French Govern-
ment to dispatch with the utmost expedition the additional
12,000 troops for Oran ; and so urgent is the crisis con-
sidered, that Marshal BUGEAUD had resolved, with the con-
currence of the Minister of War, to go direct to Algiers,
without obeying the telegraphic dispatch summoning him to
Paris. He was to quit Excedeuil on Tuesday for Marseilles,
and sail on the 10th for Algiers. Marshal SOULT also, owing
to his infirmities, had not been able to comply with the
summons, and replied that the state of his health com-
pelled him to remain yet for some time in the south of
France. The Journal des Debats, after stating that
the Emperor of MOROCCO had done everything
in his power, though without effect, to fulfil the treaty of
Algiers, says :—" We have now only to deal with ABD-EL-
KADER. He is the enemy of Morocco as of France. To
come up with him, ,to destroy his power, to deprive him of
his last place of refuge—such is the end that we propose.
This is proved by the decision come to by the Goverment.
As to the treaty v, ith Morocco, we shall see whether it bears
fruit. We are of opinion that it will singularly facilitate the
tack that remains for us to accomplish in Africa, and which
leaves us for the moment one only point—the destruction of
ABD-EL-KADER." The Epoque, another Ministerial paper,
writes in still stronger terms :—" Marshal BUGEAUD is to
enter Morocco if ABD EL-KADER be still there, to act and
fight there, and not quit that empire until he shall have ob-
tained complete satisfaction for the grievances France has
such just reason to complain off."

Louis PHILIPPE continues to take much exercise since his
return to the capital. " The review which took place on
Wednesday, though of considerable length," says one of the
papers, " did not seem to fatigue him in the least—and in-
deed we learn from good authority that his MAJEsTv's health
was never better. A considerable crowd occupied every
available spot for witnessing the proceedings."
The following are miscellaneous extracts :
" Colonel Bet thier, who was killed lately by the Arabs in Algeria,
was a great nephew of Marshal Berthier, Prince of Neufchatel and
Wagram under the Empire.
" An application was made on Wednesday to the Civil Tri-
bunal of the Seine by Count Leon, the reputed natural son of
the Emperor Napoleon, to, compel the Countess of L—, his
reputed mother, to grant him an alimentary pension of 6,000
francs a year. The counsel for 'the Countess demanded the pro.
duction of the documents on which the Count founds his demand,
viz., the registry of birth, &c., by which he can show that the
Countess is really his mother. The case was postponed for a week,
to give time for the production of documents.

" The Minister of the Marine is stated to have sent dispatches
to the maritime prefects, urging them to expedite as much as pos-
sible the fitting out of the ships destined for the station on the
Western Coasts of Africa, and which are to rendezvous at Cadiz by
December.

" The &ingress of the German Customs Union, which has been
sitting at Carisruhe since the commencement of August, is on the
point of separating without coming to any decision. Prussia has
maintained her liberal principles in commercial matters. Unani.
mity of vowels required for the decisions of the Congress.
" It appears by the journals of the south of France that some
alarm has been felt there of a scarcity of corn, but that it has been
removed by the arrival of several cargoes at Marseilles from Italy,
and by the pbrchase of 450,000 hectolitres of corn at Odessa, for
different French ports in the Mediterranean.
" The Brussels journals announce another fall of 2f. per 100
kilos. of potatoes in the markets of that city, but state that fears are
entertained that the cargoes of potatoes expected from Denmark
will not keep good during the voyage. At Elsineur two cargoes
which had been shipped for Belgium were thrown into the sea, in
consequence of their being entirely spoiled by heating."

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN LlMEHOUSE.—Yesterday
morning, a fire, resulting in damages amounting to 1,0001., broke
out about seven o'clock, upon the premises in the occupation of
Mr. G. W. Morrison, coat-merchant, 43, Fore street, Limehouse.
The occupier was in bed at the time, and it is supposed that while
the servant girl was employed in lighting the kitchen fire a spark
fell upon some shavings, which communicating to other corn-
bustib.e materials, soon act the whole in a blaze. The following is
the official report of the damage:—" Mr. G. Morrison, 43, Fore
street, Limehouse, coal.merchant ; interior of the house gutted and
the contents destroyed. Contents Insured in the Royal Exchange
Fire-office; building in the Phoenix. Mr. Blyth, engineer pattern,
and mould maker; mould lofts damaged, roof injured by fire and
water; the moulds are some of them broken. Insured in the
Phceuix and several other oazes. No. 42 (private house of Mr.
Blyth) damage to building and furniture."
