It will secure the advantages of railway communication
of country at present destitute of this accommodatioen bon to a tract
,besides open-
ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of tbe means of transit.
The central midland districts have felt greatly: th. want of direct
communication with the coast ; and this line will at once supply Use
deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire
It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, •
n
Lei-
cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependeant4l upon
supply from the north at high prices : it will also secure the advan-
tages of ass unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works
to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only'
supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis-
tricts will oNtain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and
agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is
the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and
connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean.
The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the
necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income
derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co-
ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans-
port of corn, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural
districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming
districts, and of coals, limo, and staple commodities for the inland
districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay.

The Belgian Grand Junction Railway will commence at the several
points of Tirlemont and Landon towards the north, and Huy, Namur,
Gosselies, and Chatelineau (Charleroi) on the south, and will directly
connect the provinces of Brabant, Ilainault, Liege, Limburg, and
Namur with each other, and the Goya- mment lines of railway, as
also with the several lines of Liege and Namur, Landen and Ilasselt,
Louvain and Jemeppe, Sambre and Mr use, and by the Great Luxem-
bourg.
- The provinces which the. railway will unite were found by the
census of 1844 to comprise a population of 2,188,551,
and the dis-
trblts which it will traverse are situat ed in the heart of Belgium, and
comprise an area of 165 square miles. Tile entire length of the Bel-
gian Grand Junction Railway will be 102 English miles, and the in-
variable rule of the Belgian Governmet. It not to permit any competing
lines, must necessarily ens are tq this Company the entire traffic of
the country through which this line wi 11 pass.
This portion of the country is emphn Ideally termed the Granary of
Belgium, and, in addition t// its vast * gricultural pro Luce, is rich in
ironstone, lead, marble, stone, and shit quarries. It has also nume-
rous distilleries, extensive breweries, ironworks, and l
tories of porcelain, glass, paper, beetroot sugar gunarge powder,ufac-
Re.
The great coal-fields of Charleroi and Liege, which are the most ex-
man
tensive in Belgium, will, by meat a of this line, bo enabled to supply
all parts of the kingdom at a very reduced rate.
A considerable saving will bee reefed in the cost of iron, and of
the locomotive engines and traffic Inirprial, which will be manufac-
tured at the Couvin works ceded to this Company.

The Provisional Committee of the Great Grimsby, Sheffield, the
Potteries, and Grand Junction Railway, having expressed a desire to
consolidate with the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Potteries, and Crewe
Railway Company, the Provisional Directors of the latter appointed
a deputation to confer with a deputation front the former at Man-
chester, on Friday, the 24th inst., when, after the most mature
deliberation, the Provisional Directors of the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek,
Potteries, and Crewe Railway Company, although anxious to avoid
an unnecessary Parliamentary contest, were convinced it would be
injurious to the interests of their subscribers, and without any public
advantage, to identify themselves with a rival line from Sheffield to
the Staffordshire Potteries, in opposition to those which have been
so long before the public for supplying railway communication be•
tweon Sheffield and Buxton, viz., the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock,
and Midland, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junction
Railways.

They, therefore, thel that their only course, consistent with' a due
regard to the interests above named, Is to preserve the integrity of
their project from Buxton tq Stoke-upon-Trent and Congleton,
uniting at those places with the North Staffordshire Railway.

THE CORN-LAWS AND FREE
TRADE.

CHRONICLE.—Among the numerous weapons with which Sir
Robert Peel will be able to combat the objections of the refractory
pot tion of the Cabinet, who object to a suspension of the corn-laws
and the free introduction of grain, will be the recent dispatches
(win our Minister at Washington. Those dispatches cannot fail to
inform our Government of the present singularly favourable combi-
nation of circumstances in the United States, all tending to secure
a new tariff highly favourable to the trade of this country, if any
disposition is shown on our part to receive their produce in return.
Mr. Walker, the Secretary to the Treasury, who is at this time in.
tiefatigably occupied in procuring information on which he will be
able to frame a proposal for a new tariff, cannot have omitted to
explain to Mr. Pakenham the chief difficulty with which he has to
contend ; and that difficulty being one in which England alone is
concerned, our Minister can hardly have failed to represent it to
his Government here. Coming at so opportune a season as such
expostulations must now do, the fair inference is that Sir
Robert Peel will use them in order to show haw much we
hazard by persevering in a policy at once inconsistent with our own
internal and domestic interests, and destructive to our foreign
trade. Mr. Polk, and the members of his Cabinet, have on many
occasions openly avowed their opinions in behalf of free-trade, and
of a tariff framed only upon considerations of revenue. But the
protective system in America has already brought into existence a
powerful party, whose interests are bound up with a high tariff.
It is no matter of surprise to find that the wealthy and influential
corporations of manufacturers, which have been called into exist-
ence and fostered by extravagant import duties, should cling with
tenacity to a tariff which, in many important articles, gives them
the undisputed command of their home market, and enables them
to exact enormous prices from the consumer. But it ought to
stagger a❑ English Cabinet in Dawning-street, when their
own Minister informs them that these parties are supported in their
exactions by those who most suffer from them. It may excite no
wonder to find the manufacturer in New England using the whole
of his influence to defeat Mr. Polk in his contemplated reduction
of the tariff; but when it appears that the chief difficulty which
he has to encounter is the opposition of the corn grower in Ohio,
whose whole interest would appear to lie in securing the cheapest
supply of those imported articles of which he is always a buyer,
and never a seller, so strange an anomaly should not fail to excite
an earnest inquiry as to its cause, when it will be found capable
of but one solution. The corn grower in Ohio finds that, how-
ever much cheaper our goods may be, he cannot buy when
he cannot sell ; and he is therefore satisfied to pay an
extravagant price to the home manufacturer, in order
to create a market there, from which he is shut
out here. But the protective principle is productive of
mischief, which it is impossible can long be permitted to continue,
on both sides of the Atlantic. In England it is exposing the people,
or at least a considerable portion of them, to habitual scarcity, not
unfrequently to severe want; and at the present moment it
threatens little short of a famine. In America it is exposing the
State to a deficient and declining revenue. Duties which were
once osly protective are becoming prohibitory, in consequence of
the extension of their home manufactures.. In the present year,
up to this time, the exports of the article of woollens alone from
this country, on which they rely chiefly for their revenue, have
declined more than thirty per cent. compared with last year. Each
country finds itself in a dilemma, (coin which it can only be
extricated by a closer alliance with the other. There is no
quarter to which we can ►ook with much hope of
relieving the deficiences of our present harvest
but America; there is no source on which the
Cabinet at Waihington can rely for replenishing their Treasury
but by so reducing their tariff as to increase the import of British
manufactures. On the one hand, Sir Robert Peel must see the
double advantage which a free trade with the United States would
secure to this country, first by creating an increased demand for
our manufactures, and secondly, by securing a constant and never
failing supply of food. That country at once offers us abundance
in its productiveness, and the means of purchase from its trade.
On the other hand, Mr. Polk cannot fail to see that a closer inter.
course with this country would secure a steady demand for that
produce which it Is most to the interest of the United States to
raise, while the people would be supplied with our manufactures
at a lower peice, and his revenue made secure. At the present
moment, however, the overtures of the United States to this
country, and the terms on which they are made, are singularly
adapted to our necessities, and unusually easy of accomplishment.
Mr. Walker freely exposes his real position to our Minister. The
American Government have little doubt of carrying their new
tariff in Congress, but frankly admit their doubts as to its fate in
the Senate. But they say to us, admit our Indian corn into your
markets, and so give us the support of those who should be the
chief and natural promoters of a low tariff on British manufactures,
and our measure is safe, It would be difficult to conceive a pro-
position which at this time could be made to our Government in
every way so convenient, and the adoption of which would be so
full of promise. If we open our ports it must be, considering the
destitute condition of the continent of Europe, chiefly for American
corn. If we require a cheap and effective substitute for the
perished potato crop of Ireland, there is none so good as Indian
corn, which at this titne, if free from duty, could be supplied in
great abundance at twenty shillings the quarter. And, judging
from the past, looking only to the interests of agriculture,
it would be difficult to confer a greater boon on the
British farmer at all times than to furnish him with a plentiful
and cheap supply of this grain So that looking only to our own
interests, whether temporary or permanent, the overtures of the
American Government present exactly those advantages which
should have suggested themselves to the mind of an English
statesman. And at the present time there are peculiar reasons
why Sir Robert Peel should feel solicitous with respect to our
trade with the United States. Of late years we have depended, to
a great extent, for the increasing export of our manufactures upon
the continental markets. The failing crops, and consequent high
price of food in those countries, cannot but materially affect the

weasseweesewee-asasseesewnweweeuaeaseesensounwswess
consumpion of mnufactred goods, and reduce heir si.erie
nearly tot their owna means of supply. At the mel
tsa hee' t't
too much reason to apprehend that a similar cause will asst , the
judiciall
y on the home trade, and thus materially indel ort•
prosperity of those districts which of late have produced so 'to
able and so marked an influence on the various interests

reduction in the American tariff which would at once Wd
