The principal objects of the scheme are—let. To remedy the evils
of delay and inconvenience to Which parties are, at the present time,
necessarily subjected hi proceeding :rom the west end of the metro-
polis to Croydon, or the most distant places on the South-Eastern
and London and Brighton Railways, as well as the several sea ports
and packet-stations on the coasts of Kent and Sussex; and 2d. To
supply to the numerous and wealthy inhabitants of the district
through which the intended line will pass (at present wholly with-
out railway accommodation), a greatly improved means for the in-
terchange of communication with the metropolis, and with each other.
Commencing at the intended terminus of the South-Western Rail-
way, at Ilungerford or Waterloo-bridge, the line will take the most
practicable route to Kennington, from thence it will follow as near as
possible the old turnpike road, passing through or near to the
wealthy and populous districts of Stockwell, Clapham, Brixton,
Pulse-hill, Streatham, Norwood, Beulah, and Thornton-heath, effect-
ing a janction at Croydon with the several existing or projected
lines from that place.
It is also proposed to form a branch or branches from the neigh-
bourhood of Streatham to Mitcham and Tooting, and thus to extend
to those places, and their respective neinhbourhoods, the advantages
of a direct railway communication with the metropolis.
A great portion of the traffic in passengers and goods upon the
Brighton and Dover lines is supplied ,-t-orn the west-end of London
and the Birmingham and Great Western Railways. The necessity
of proceeding to the station at London-bridge, and by the present
circuitous route to (hoyden, is a serious and unnecessary inconveni-
ence, entailing additional expense and delay. The removal of this
long-felt grievance is a leading object with the promot rs of the pre-
sent undertaking. They deem it right, however, to observe, in lay-
ing this scheme before the public, that they have no desire to inter-
fere with existing railway interests, further than is absolutely indis-
pensable, but that on the other hand it will be their object to yield
assistance-to, and in return endeavour to secure it, from each com-
pany with which this Hite may ultimately be connected.
A glance at the inap will show, that as a branch or arm of the
London and Brighton Railway, this undertaking completes a straight
line of coMmanication from the west end of London to Croydon,
Reigate, and Brighton, and renders the ports of Dover and Folke-
stone, as well as the several places on the South-Eastern line, more
easily accessible from that part of the metropolis.
The great amount of traffle.at the present time upon the roads be-
tween Croydon, Mitcham, Tooting, Le., and Leaden. proves at once
that the existing railway facilities do not at all meet the exigencies
of the mass of population to whom thit line will be available.
The population who reside upon or in the immediate neighbour-
hood of the proposed line, independent of the metropolis, and between
the intended. termini, exceeds 100,000, whose wants are almost
wholly supplied from the London maritets, &e., and who have, at
the present time, no mode of conveyance but upon the turnpike
road. In the transit of building materials, corn, coal, lime, and
other heavy goods, from the warehouses and wharfs on the banks of
the Thames, and for marketable produce in each direction, this line
must become to them particularly useful and convenient.

Some idea may be formed ci the local necessity of this railway
when it is known that the number ofpassengers who avail themselves
of the accommodation afforded by lie several omnibuses and other
public vehicles, running upon the turnpike•roed, have been ascer-
tained to exceed 2,600 daily. An equal number (at least) proceed
by private and other conveyances. Of foot passengers, although
Ito accurate estimate cal he formed of them, it is considered that
they at least immberainr 11111C8 that of passengers who travel by con-
veyance. The tornage of goods It IS calculated will be in full pro-
portion to the receipt from passengers.
Experience has fa'dy proved, that on however liberal a scale the
probablity of future traffic in the transit of goods and passengers has
been judged, alin-ast every line of railway has, upon its completion,
vastly exceeded -the calculated, amount. There are, however, in this
instance, reason is for supposing that the extended facilities of com-
munication wilt cause more than an ordinary increase in the con-
veyance of passengers. The country whiCh the Hoe of railway veil
open is singai arty picturesque and beautiful, and in addition to the
admired dist,.icts of 13•ixton and Streatham, the long-favoured and
much-thqus Anted Beulah and Norwood will be placed within easy
access, tine. became more than ever, ()ejects of interest and delight
to the visi for and resident of the metropolis.

'ere t• an there,"ore be ii.tle donut but that th 3 present title must
become 'a :ma eligible scheme for the investment of capital.
The i ,romoters of this in,dertaking have pleasure in announcing
that it is approved of, an I will lie generally supported by local in-
fillenet They have causal a partial survey to be made, which will
be con ipleted shortly, and they have the fiSSUrallee of their engineers
that t here are not more than ord'nary thine:Dies to contend with.
The 'lability of tile shareholders will he restricted, by Act of Pm lia-
men 1, to the amount ei'their subscriptions; and power will be applied
for !In the Bill to allow iMerest at 41. per cent. per annum on all calls
fro' a the passing of the Act until the opening the line.

Aldboreugh, Boroughbridge, and Dishforth, and to terminate at the
Leeds and Thirsk Railway near to Watt), at ajunction with, and so as
to form an eastern continuation ot; the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union
Railway.
The length of the line will be about thirteen tulles, and in forming
it three objects are in view:-
Ist.' To accommodate Boroughbridge, and a great extent of highly
fertile and productive country hitherto entirely devoid of railway
accommodation.
2el. To form a connecting link between the Great North of Eng-
land Railway, and the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union Railway, and
thereby connect with this project part of the trunk lines from Hull,
Selby, York, Beverley, Marketweigliton, Poeklington, Scarborough,
Whitby, Pickering, Mahon, 84c., and the eastern districts to Carlisle
and the west of Scotland by the Yorkshire aniduGwleass,goKwirLk7nbyir

3d. To supply the d'strict in question with coal from the pits in
the neighbourhood of Leeds, and from those of Durham by means of
the Leeds and Thirsk Railway and its extension. To afford accom-
modation to the town of Boroughbridge and its locality by connect-
ing it with Carlisle., Durham, Hull, Ripon, York, Scarborough, &c.,
which this project will do to a much greater extent than would have
been afforded by the Pill-moor Branch of last session from the Great
North of England Rahway to Boroughbridge, inasmuch as this It to
will give an outlet in both a northern and eastern direction, whilst
that of last session would hare afforded merely a northern one.
The coup ry is level, requiring no tunnel, and very little cutting
or embanking, and the line will consequently be of easy construc-
tion. The cost will be comparatively light, and all residential an-
noyance or injury to property will be avoided.
The saving of distance by this scheme will, on reference to the
Map, be seen to be very considerable, especially with regard to rail-
way communication between the cities of Ripon and York, Wath
being only four miles north-east of Ripon; and this line, in con-
nexion will' the Leeds and Thirsk Railway (which runs
through that city), forming a continuous, as well as the shortest and
best line of railway between Ripon and York.
In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to landowners
and others locally interested on the line.
The names of the Provisional Committee and other particulars will
be published in the course of next week. In the meantime, applica-
tions for shares, in the annexed form, may be made to Wm. Middle-
ton, Solicitor, 34. Commercial-street, Leeds ; or to Messrs. Sudlow,
Sorts, and Torr (the London Agents), 20, Chancery-lane, London.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
The great principle on which the projectors of this important
scheme have a ted, is the establishment of a direct line of communi-
cation between B rtninyham and Birkenhead, by the nearest possible
route, and at the ertiaileet possible outlay. To effect this object, it is
proposed to make use either of the Grand Junction, or the Birming-
ham, Dudley, And Wolverhampton Railway, as for as Wolverhamp-
ton, and thence to throw out a new line in as straight a direction as
possible to Chester, where a junction will be formed with the railway
already existing between that city and Birkenhead. A most impor-
tant saving of distance will thus be effected.
It is obvious that such a scheme is fraught with consequences of
the highest possible import to the commercial interests of the respec-
tive districts. The growing prosperity of Birkenhead even now
demands a more direct communication with the Midland, Southern,
Western, and Eastern Counties; and when her magnificent docks
shall he completed, and the town itself shall have arrived at its des-
tin: greatness, this line will take a prominent position among the
most lucrative of these undertakings.
The Directors, therefore, conscious of the great traffic which will
flow from the densely populated termini, propose to construct this
line in as straight a direction as possible, and thereby secure the im-
mense through traffic which will resort to this railway for shortness
and expedition,
from the teat manufacturing and agricultural dise
tricts of South Staffordshire, Shropshire, Watavickshire, Worces-
tershire, llerefordshire, Monmouthshire, Leicestershire, Nottingham-
shire,g Northamptonshire, and in fact the whole of the Eastern
Counties, as well as fl'omLondon and the important distrietkto the
South, East, and West of the Metropolis.
Irrespective of the immense population of the termini, it is evident
that this projected line commends itself to the entire inhabitants of
the counties already referred to. The scheme also possesses this
further and great advantage—that it will, in reality, form a shorter
and more direct line to the neighbourhood of Liverpool and the dis-
trict adjacent, than any which has hitherto been projected ; and by
means of the contemplated line from Chester to Holyhe ad, it will
open the shortest possible route from London to Ireland, and thereby
avoid the delay and inconvenience of a protracted sea voyage. A
cursory inspection of the map of England and a reference to the
plan of this line will also show that the Trent Valley, London and
Birmingham, Birmingham and Gloucester, Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton, as w 11 as the projected Staffordshire and Shrop-
shire Railways, will necessarily be valuable tributaries to this Im-
portant line of railway.
The line to be constructed by this Company will commence at
Wolverhampton, and proceed through an agricultural district, by
way of Market Drayton to Chester, and although in Its direct course
it may not pass through many towns of importance, the engineering
difficulties of every other route wilt be avoided, and powerful local in-
fluence brought into co-operation with this Company.

PROGRESS OF THE GERMAN

REFORMATION.

FRANKFORT-ON THE-MAINE, SEPT. 14.—Rouge en-
tered our city to day on his way to Stuttgardt, in a car-
riage garlanded with flowers, and followed by a train of
from sixteen to twenty travelling carriages. Thousands
upon thousands of people awaited his arrival before the
gates of the city, and accompanied him aith a ceaseless
succession of viva: to the posthouse, where he alighted.
The rejoicing, shouts, and hurrahs of the multitude be-
came there to deafening, that Ronge at length appeared
at a window of a second story of an atij 'fining house,
whence he gave a short address to the waiting mass
of human beings, expressive of his heartfelt gratitude for
the extraordinary reception he had met with ; his regret
that his necessarily short stay precluded his replying to
it as he wished ; and his intention of soon returning to
Frankfort fur a longer period. Soon after eleven o'clock
A.M., he drove off towards Stuttgardt, but such was the
pressure of the crowd, as to compel passing through the
streets at a funeral pace, and it was not without difficulty
that numbers were prevented actually stopping the car-
risge for the purpose of touching the retormer's person !
THE GERMAN CATHOLIC SYNOD IN STUTTGARDT.—
The Wirtemberg Government having refused the German
Catholics the use of a church to hold their conference in
(though such had been granted them by theeeclesiastical
authorities), on the ground that a public celebration of
Divine worship in a building belonging to the Esta-
blished Church would be tantamount to a recognition of
thein as a religious body, for whicli indeed they have ap-
plied, but have not yet obtained, they have been directed
to hold their proposed meetings either in a private build-
ing, or, as hitherto, in one of the churches belonging to
the reformed (or Genovese) congregation. " Hitherto,"
says the Allgemeiqe Zeiteng, in reference to this
" the interest felt by the lay public in the new
sect was comparatively trifling, but now, all at once,
an eager desire seems to have arisen, and petitions in
favour or their toleration come in from all quarters, a
fact which very evidently proves that a religious move-
ment can by no system of resistance be so effectually
rendered harmless as by leaving it a free and unhindered
course •, for so soon as either, with or without founda-
tion, the idea of arbitrary suppression is spread abroad,
the German phlegm gives place to eager sympathy, and
the almost expiring !amp of public interest is instantly
re-fanned into a flame. A petition, to which 2,000 sig-
natures are already rippende4, has been presented by
Lutheran citizens of Stuttgardt, praying that one of their
churches may be granted to the use of their German
Catholic brethren."
STuTTGARDT, SEPT. 13. considerable number of
deputies to the German Catholic Synod were present
to day at Divine service, at which Kirbler presided, in
the reformed church, which was festively hung with
flowers, and, although cards of admission alone pro-
cured entrance, filled to overflowing. The communion
plate, presented- to the new congregation by some
Lutheran well-wisher in this city, was used for
the first time on this occasion. The meetings on the
morning and afternoon of the 14th, as well as this morn-
ing's meeting, were private, at which, among other pre-
liminary business, presaes and secretaries for the ensuing
council were elected; but the meeting of this afternoon.
which assembled at three o'clock in the hall of the Sil-
berburg, kindly granted by the Directors of the Museum
Society, was public, and numerously attended by per-
sons of both sexes and all confessions.

Twenty-four delegates, many of whom act as proxies
for several congregations, were present, as well as
deputies from London and Rotterdam, who, of course,
were more in the character of listeners than actual
members of this Rhenise plod. The next meeting is
appointed to take place in Frankfort, where many
points respecting church government and a more ex-
tended organisation, which were on this occasion brought
under consideration, will he more definitively settled.
THEINER AND THE SILESIAN REFORM.—The long-
expected work by which this celebrated theologian was
to avow and tlef"..nd his adhesion to the German Catholics
has at last begun to be laid before the public, and con-
tains a justification of the reform movement by a con-
nected authentifieation of the incurable abuses which
have taken root in he Roman Catholic Church, and the
hopelessness of obtaining from the Pope or Roman
priesthood, as now constituted, any concession of
a more rational church service. Theiner, as is well
known, has laid down his office in the Roman Ca-
tholic Church, and addresses this work (the first part
of which is now before us) to his former parishioners,
under the title of "Efforts at Reform in the Catholic
Church '—a circular letter, addressed first to the congre-
gaCons of Polsnitz, Grussen, and Hundefeld, and next to
all Uetholic Christians who regard the revelation of
.Jesus Christ as eternal and saving truth. Without
any unnecessary parade of learning, Theiner details
the abuses and ur.christian system which have obtained
in the Church be has left. We hear, too, that he '
had early withdrawn everything like polemics from
his rapit and private instruction, seeking by a simple
exhibition of purer doctrinei. to stimulate and satisfy
the sp:ritual wants of his flock, and uniting in these..
efforts with a small but zealous portion of the Si-
lesian clergy, until the pertinacious refusal of his cede-
tiastieal superiors to listen to any proposal for a
purification of eitlur ritual or doctrine compelled bun
to relinquish office in a church where he was called on
to preach and tcaeli observances and dogmas which
neither his reason nor his conscience approved. The
abuses so often alluded to are stated bytlfheiner in
much the usual manner, yet with edilstant refe-
rence to the previous struggles of enlightened
priests and princes for reform in the Roman Ca-
tholic Church. lie is more clause in stating his views
in regard to the position occupied, whether by the
priesthood or by orthodox Catholics at large, in re-
gatd tq the oAt?, 4$ well 01 on the euttliet of mixed

marriages. Ire displays simply, but effectively, the con-
tradictions which Rome has constantly submitted to, and
cannot avoid by her laws against heretics, and adduces
many terrific examples of the means employed by " the
Church," to obtain an accession of di ciples.
BRESLAW, SEPT. 12.—The people in Uper Silesia are,
by ceaseless excitement, stirred up to such a degree of
fanaticism, that it is much to be feared very energetic
measures will speedily be called for. Under such cir-
cumstances alone is it comprehensible, that those
lawless disturbers of the peace at Tarnowitz who are
now under confinement and examination for tumultuous
proceedings should be termed by the Silesian (Roman
Catholic) Church Journal, the "firm principled citizens,"
or that the same paper should sound its paeans over the
infamous attack on Rouge's life. But what then shall we
say to attempts being made not only to obtain from the
King the liberation without trial of these turbulent
spirits, but to actual subscriptions being now raised
to meet tha fines which, it is anticipated, may pro-
bably be levied upon them as the due reward of
their delinquency. It is, however, to be hoped that,
as is credibly reported, measures are in preparation
which will prove the time is not yet come in Prussia
when the open avowal of religious conviction involves
danger of one's life ; and even the above-named journal
may perhaps learn that an open defence of illegal pro-
cedings is not admissible in our days ; and, conse-
quently, repent having so prematurely shown its colours.
Meanwhile, the Dissenters from Rome are increasing,
not only in Breslaw, where one-fourth of the Catholic
population (reckoned at about 30,000) has joined the
sect., but throughout the whole province. Congregations
have lately established at Sprottau and Auras, and seve-
ral other places, such as Sagan, Frankenstein, and even
Patchkan, are expected speedily to follow the example.
TSERLOHN, SEPT. 10.— The late Roman Catholic
priest,
Briedenbach, of Strutt, a man of distinguished
oratorical powers, and possessed not only of the love of
his parishioners, but of the respect and esteem of his
ghostly superiors, having very recently forsaken the
Roman for the German Catholic Church, has accepted
a call to preside over that branch of it which exists
here, and -was received to-day in a really magnificent
manner. The discharge of nearly thirty pieces of
ordnance, and a cot It.fye of above ten thousand persons,
whose vials rent the air, hailed his approach to the
city. The German Catholic cause has obtained by the ac-
quisition of Breidenbach a powerful support, not merely
in Iserholm, but through the surrounding district, where
many congregations exist, and more are in contempla-
tion. A new one was definitively organised on the 7th
instant, in our neighbouring town, Ilagen.—Elberfeld
Zeit tiny.
MAYENCE, SEPT. 6.—Our Bishop has deemed it his
duty to announce to his clergy the apostasy of one of
their brethren, the late Dean Winter, in Alzei, from the
Roman Catholic Church. Tile exhortations and admo-
nitions with which' the notification is accompanied are
singularly' mild, and whilst they are exhorted to pray for
the restoration of their erring brother to the bus )in of
tee true Church, the new Catholic sect to which he has
joined himself is adverted to in much more moderate
terms than in the ban lately published by the Bishop of
Fulda.

EICHSTADT (BAVARIA), SEPT. 12.—The establishment
of this bishopric, which has now existed 1,100 years,
was celebrated here on the 7th inst. The whole city,
but more particularly the cathedral, was festively
adorned, the choir being entirely covered with a new
carpet 286 feet square, embroidered by the ladies
of Eichstadt and other places throughout the bishopric.
The solemn procession of the reliques of St. Willibach
and St Walbu:ga was joined by the Archbishop of Mun-
chen Freising, the Bishops of Augsburgh, Spiers, ‘Vurz-
burg, Regensburg, and Eichstadt, and an immense num-
ber from this city and neighbourhood.
BOHEMIAN FKONTIERS, SEPT. 10.—Some time since
a society was formed in the Leitmeritz diocese, under
the immediate patronage of its bishop, in honour of "the
immaculate heart of the Virgin Mary," to which the in-
ferior clergy as a body, and their most zealous adherents,
have given their support. But Bishop Dille has recently
come forward with a new evidence of his zeal, by com-
manding the introduction of so-called "spiritual exer-
cises," in which a majority of the clergy and consider-
able numbers of the more devout among the laity take
part. The members of this godly society were convened
in Leitmeritz the beginning of this month, for the pur-
pose of spending eight days consecutively in the
said spiritual exercises, among which, and cer-
tainly not the least remarkable, is the subjecting
themselves voluntarily to a severe mutual scourging!
Total silence is imposed on them during the whole period
of their being together ; and strict fasting, except a
light soup for supper, as well as every species of bodily
convenience or recreation are forbidden.

HALBERSTADT, SEPT. 8 —The day before yesterday,
Pastor Willig, lately Catholic priest in Hamburgh,
arrived here by invitation of the Roman dissidents of this
place, and celebrated Divine service in the Holy Ghost
Church, at which, besides the members of the new com-
munity, very many Roman Catholics and from 600 to
800 Protestants were present. The German Catholics
have, it seems, given a regular call to Willig to remain
as their pastor, which, however, he has not definitively
accepted, but promised to return after his visit to Berlin
and Leipzic, and spend some months here.
BERLIN, SEPT. 14,—Some journals lately circulated
the highly-improbable intelligence that the question of
religious differences was to acme before the Diet ; we
believe ourselves warranted in giving the following as a
better founded statement :—ln consequence of arrange-
ments made by Prussia, the Courts of Berlin, Wirtem-
berg, Saxony,' and Hanover have agreed to set on foot
conferences, in which the religious movements of the
day, and more especially those of the " Friends of
Light," shall be discussed. Ihe basis to be adopted
in these conferences will be a strict separa-
tion of the political from the religious element
in the movement ; to restra'n the former with
a very tight rein, while to the latter will be conceded a
freer and larger arena. The question of Church Go-
vernment in particular to be left open, but dcctrinal
points not to be allowed too wide an extent. In oppo-
sition to the foregoing, the Weser Zeitung quotes, on
the other hand, a communication from Frankfort, in
which it is roundly asserted that the religious movement
in Germany has been already subject of discussion in
the Diet, whose sittings ceased on the 11th September.
to be resumed on the Bth of January, 1846. The Jesuit
question, it is understood, did not come under considera-
tion, as the political and not the dogmatical aspect of
the movement attracted attention, and the deliberations
of the Diet were limited to the concoctions of mea-
sures to- secure the existing order of political affair.;
against being affected by the religious ferment. " Who,"
asks the Frankfort correspondent, " who that has ob-
served the simultaneous and almost identical measures
adopted in regard of the German Catholics by various
German states, can doubt that such unusual union of ac-

Lion is the result of previous union of counsel ?"
lIANAn, SEPT. 13.—Our Government has proved its
determination to carry out to the letter its announced
course regarding the German Catholics, by prohibiting
Ronge t 9 stop even one night in this city, or to preside
over any meeting for Divine worship.
DRESDEN, SEPT. 6.—The refusal of Ole Wirtemberg
Government to grant the use of one of the churches in
Stuttgardt to the German Catholics is but a counterpart
of the decision of our Ministry, by whom a similar re-
fusal has just been given. The disappointment is the
greater here, as the ecclesiastical and town authorities
were unanimous in according them the accommodation.

STUTTGARDT, SEPT. 171--The German Catholic
Church Assembly completed its sittings this day. The
solemnities were terminated by Divine service, under
the guidance of Ronge and Dowrat. The last business
meeting took place yesterday, in which, however, co
questions were discussed ; but the time was chiefly
occupied with a statement of the nature and importance
of German Catholicism,' and a reply to the often-put
question, " What do the German Catholics aim at?"
SEPT. 19.—Yesterday Ronge and his friends received
many testimonials of afThction from his adherents in
Stuttgardt. Poems, garlands, and still more valuable
pro •fs of attachment were handed to him in various com-
panies to which he had been invited, and this morning.
at ten o'clock, he left for Ulm. A great concourse of
people had assembltd in the Dorothea-square, who
greeted Ronge and his companions as they issued from
their dwelling (which was nearly covered with garlands)
with a joyful viva ! A garlanded carriage received the
so highly prized reformers, and drove off, escorted by
some members of the German Catholic committee on
horseback, and followed by several other carriages.
Ut.m.—At a dinner party given by the inhabitants of
this town to M. Rongc, and at a hich more than
seventy of its distinguished citizens, and several dele-
gates from the neighbouring places, were present, 1)r.
Gramm, the public physician of the district, made a
speech, from which we extract the following :
"Dear Brethren, much esteemed Friends,—lt is
known to you all that we German Catholics have
separated ourselves from the Pope, from our •Rorcitin
Catholic Bishop, and from his chapter. Now, it
would be supposed that we are like sheep without a
shepherd, and unable to defend• ourselves against our
numerous enemies ; but this is not our case. For, in
union with our Protestant brethren, we have our bishop
in the person of our just and courageous Ring, who will
acknowledge us as his faithful subjects, since we com-
bat all foreign influence, which is injurious to the free
development of spiritual liberty, whether such an in-
flu= nce proceeds from this side or from the other side of
the mountains."

The assembly-room was magnificently decorated, and
in one transparency, in large character, was read
"Johannes Runge, the Champion of Light and Truth.
STUTTGARDT, SI: PT. 25.—M. Itonge returned here

The cause of tl e German Catholic Church is gaining

oontrary made by the Romanists of our place ; and all
their insinuations cannot binder both Catholics and 1
ro.,
testants from joining the new Church, which counts now
amongst its members several persons of the nobility.
It is reported that a community of German Catholics
is about to be formed at Heilbronn, and M. Rouge's pro-
ceeding, there relates to this latter formation, which he
will endeavour both to call into life and to organise.
From thence M. Rouge will go to Heidelberg and to
Manheim. Of his further movements nothing has as
3et transpired,- but it is supposed that he and his com-
pniors will meet Professor Konuer, from Uhn, at
Eiberfeld.

MANHEIM, SEPT. 29.—Messrs. Rouge and Donran,
and thtir travellinn companions have just arrived here.
They were met by a- joyous crowd at the railway
station, who accompanied them into the town. The an-
thOritieF, however, WQl,lld TrA permit hf. Runge and his

partisans to enter the church. The police also refused
permission fur M. Ron.e to hold an assembly of the
German Catholics at the theatre. In consequence of this
refusal the proprietor of the theatre invited the tra-
vellers to his own house.

A h-tter from Heidelberg states that while Ronge was
in that city, the chiefs of the German Catholic c mmu•
nity were cited before the municipal authorities, who
signified to them that unless they would guarantee the
observance of the decrees issued relative to M. Ronge, he
would be ordered to quit the town.

STRAND THEATRE.
M. Philippe, the neatest, the cleverest, the most gen-
tlemanly of necromancers, has taken this delightful little
snuggery, and fitted it up as a Temple of Magic, and
during the whole of this week he has been surprising
crowded audiences by his delightful and really wonder.
ful performances. All our readers have doubtles read
of the delightful doings at the Carnival at Naples, and
have longed to enjoy the luxury of being pelted with
delicious bonbons, let them go to the Strand Theatre ; it
is every night acarnival there ; you have Music and lights,
and wit (Mr. rhilippe is a most gentlemanly and witty
actor, as well as a great mcgician) and wine (hit
Liqueristo furnishes the most delicious wines and liqucrs)
and best of all showers of the most delicious bonbons,
which could not but be honoured with the high approval
of even her sweet-loving Majesty of Spain herself.
M. Philippe is seen to even greater advantage at the
Strand than he was at the St. James's.. The theatre is
not so deep or so narrow—the audience i 3 nearer the
stage, and they are able to observe more narrowly, and
to watch every step in the progress of a trick, and thus
the talent of the necromancer is more thoroughly appre-
ciated. The performances, too, are over at a reasonable
hour (half-past ten), a most desirable thing where chil-
dren are part of the audience; and at the present moment
there is not an amusement in Londcn to which it is a
greater treat to take children than to M. Philippe's
Soirees Mysterieusses. Take it for all in all the Strand
Theatre is now one of the plesantest evening lounges in
the metropolis.

A SEASONABLE WORD ON
R AI LW AYS.
By Mr. Punch.
At a dinner given by the Directors of the Diddlesex
Junction Railway to one another out of the funds of the
Company,—Fitz James de la nacho, Esq , chairman,—
Punch, Esq., vice-chairmsn,—the latter gentleman deli-
vered the following speech, in reply to a complimentary
oration from the distinguished Pcesident :
" Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,—The manner in
which you have drank my health is most gratifying to
me. I won't say that tears choke my utterance,' as
O'Connell did, upon a solemn occasion, the other day.
Humbug and hypocrisy will not pass for honest emotion
in England, and never can be welcome to honest men.
Gentlemen, I drink all your good healths in return.—
(Cheers.)
"There was a talk last week of an Order in Council
to prohibit the further issue of railroad prospectuses, on
the plea tha: there were too many now on hand, and
that it was impassible for Parliament to discuss those
schemes already extant in the course of next session.
" Mr. Punch is inclined to be of the opinion of the
Order in Council, for various cogent rt asons.
" In the first place—do we wish to be the death of the
House of Commons? If we work them with bills as we
did last session, every one, except a few of the tough
ones, will expire. Fancy a House composed of Home
and Peel, for instance, whom nothing can kill—old Joe,
with his stupid figures of Arithmetic, and Bob, with his
incomparably stupider figures of speech. (Sensation
dans Caucbtotre.)
" Secondly,—and this is even a more important rea-
son than the former—although some of you, my dear
brethren, don't care a jot whether the House of Com-
mons is dead or alive, yet your own interests will pro-
bably affect you sincerely. Men and shareholders, you
have already signed your deeds, pocketed your premiums,
and the scheme being agreed to by Parliament, com-
mitted yourselves to the finishing of your respective un-
dertakings within a certain space of say three years.
Look, my dears, at the number of schemes now on
the list ! I can't stop to count them—l can't tell the
number of deeds I myself have signed—(the number of
applications I my self have made—(Great applause)—
but oh, my dear brother-shareholders, which among you
will not agree with me, that there is as much money to
pay as this great country can conveniently fork out;
that there is as much to do as our labourers possibly can
do: and that it will be well to get that done before we
engage ourselves farther?
"Parliament binds you to execute your contracts in a
certain short period of years, or months almost. You
must have the iron in that time, and do you think the
ironmasters will spare you ? You must have the labour
performed, and where are the hands to do it ? Work-
men will be in such request fur the next three years,
that the best profession for younger sons will be the
pickaxe and shovel. Navies may dictate their own
terms—at least until the Companies are bankrupt, when
there will be no labour, nor wages, nor railroads at all.
It will be a sad day when capitalists, and ironmasters,
`and workmen, sit looking at each other, after the general
smash that our haste for speculation has occasioned.—
(Profound attention )

"Therefore, dearly beloved, I shall in my place in
Parliament, or if called to attend the council-board of my
Sovereign, approve of a mild check upon railroad spe-
culation. We have enough on hand at present, for any
prudent men to perform. Next year, my dear brother
capitalists, se shall be having our calls to pay, which I
am sure you will all discharge with cheerful punctuality'
(Cries of " Hear, hear," " 011, yes, of course I'
" Wish you may get it.") lam not a cruker by
nature, and only prophesy on rare occasions ;
but upon my honour and conscience, it seems to me
to be touch-and• go with the prosperity of this great
country at this very moment When I am drinking your
healtbs.—(Cheers.) You have the start of all Europe,
as you have always had ; and the railroad system suc-
cessfully carried out will make such vast changes, and
work such prodigious benefits, as I believe a man has
scarcely an idea of .now.—(Sneers.) But (without re-
buking the sneer of my worthy friend, Mr. Cold-
shoulder, for I must speak a volume to set him right, and
then he would'nt understand me) it depends on you now
whether the pre-eminence which you have earned shall
remain with you, or the ruin which all the world is
longing to see accomplished shall fall upon you. (Thril
ling sensation.)
"If I were an enemy of my country—if I were an
aristocrat bent upon the maintenance of my order, and
dimly seeing that, with the triumph of the railroad
system my coronets, and my lordships, and my stars
and garters, must infallibly disappear into Hades
—I would, far from discouraging the present rail-
road mania, exaggerate it in every way. I would
rejoice
to see the capital of the country engaging itself
beyond its means—plunging into speculations which
must end hopelessly—and then the ruined land would
come under my sway again, and the whole system be
paramount once more. But us hope better things of
the national prudence, and that our own greediness and
lust of gain is not to be the cause of our ruin. If we
are but prudent, Gentlemen, there is no end to the anni-
versaries which we may be called upon to celebrate here;
to the dividends which we may announce to happy
shareholders in our line; to the branch lines which may
spring from it ; and to the premiums which we, as
directors, may pocket.—(lmmense cheering.) I will
conclude, Gentlemen, by giving you—' The Railroad-
market, and may we know when we have got enough.' "
After this and other eloquent speeches, Mr. Punch
went home ; but, in spite of his own injunctions to
caution, and gloomy predictions regarding over-rpecula-
tion, the infatuated gentleman wrote twenty-two fresh
applications fur shares before he went to bed that night.

,EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF PLATE IN THE UNIVEIt-
SITY OF CAMBRIDGE.—A large quantity of valuable plate
was found missing yesterday morning in the plate-room of
Sc; Peter's College, Cambridge. The butler had locked the:
door, it appears, shortly before midnight, and saw that all
was safe in the butteries, and the robberies must have taken
place after that hour. The article; stolen consist of large
tankards, pint stoops, goblets, dishes, covers, waiters, bread-
baskets, all silver, with the names of the donors on them;
besides several dozen of silver forks and spoons of all tines,
soup-ladles, fish-knives, &c. All had the cross-keys and the
arms of the College on them. It is suspected that the rob-
bery has been committed by a gang composed of London
thieves and some notoriously bad characters in the neigh-
bourhood of Barnwell ; but up to a late hour last night no
real clue had been hit upon by the police, although mes-
sengers were sent to London, Norwich, Yarmouth, Burr,
and in other dir..ctions. About two years ago a similar
robbery was committed in the butteries of Jesus College of
plate to the amount of about 7001. The value of the plate
stolen on Monday night from St. Peter's is upwards of 1,0001.
It is a singular coincidence with regard to both these rob-
beries, that the thieves did not take anything like the whole
of the plate on both Occasions. In the robbery at Jesus
College, especially, they leti by far the most valuable portion
e
behind. Hopes are entertained that should the thieves be
discovered in the recent case, a clue will be

DFPARTURE OF EAST AND WEST INDIA MAILS.-
Sou-riwarroN, OCT. 3.-The Tagus, Captain Brookes, be-
longing to the Oriental Company, left the dock at three
o'clock' this day, with the East India and China mails, which
will be re-shipped at Malta, on board the Company's steamer
Iberia, and proceed onwards to Alexandria. The Tagus wilt
then make voyage for Constantinople, with a full and vale atle
cargo of bale goods, and 62 passengers. The West India
royal mail packet the Tay, Captain Sharp, left, the ricer yea-
terday, at four r.m., with the South Americau awl West
India mails, in charge of Lieutenant James, the Admiralty
agent. The Tay has 107 passengers and a general cargo of
goods, including a large quantity of potatoes for the West
India markets; also 550 bottles of quiektilver, and 1501. in
money. The homeward bound mails are daily expected
from the West Indies.

'I'IIE POLITICAL MARTYRS' MOisumEN't —On Fri-
diy last the monument erected in the Old Calton Church-
yard, to perpetuate the memory of Muir, Palmer, Gerald,
Skirving, and Margarot, the political martyrs of
1793-4, was completed. A flag was hoisted in honour
of the event, and several gentlemen interested in th
undertaking ascended the structure to witness the Ise.
ing 4,f the cope-atone. The monument was desigded
by Mr. HamiltLn, architect, after the model of Cleo-
palra's needle. It is ninety feet high, and, from its com-
manding position, may be seen from all the prominent par
of the city. The total cost of the erection will be about 900!.
There is to be an inscription upon a stone at the base, the
exact terms of which have not yet been fixed. We under-
stand that r.:n entertainment is to take place some time
during the present month, to celebrate the completion of the
monument, and it is expected that Mr. Jezeph llume, M.P.,
will belresent at it, to he was on the °coition of hayiPg the
foundation stone.—Scobniun.
