DUDLEY and BIRMIN( j-'HAM JUNCTION
RAlLWAY.—Combining the B road and Narrow Gauges, in
continuation of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line.
Capital, 200,0001., in 8,000 S bares of 201. each.
Deposit 2/. 10s. pc r Share.
(Provisionally Rai Astered.)

This line will commence at the stath as of the Oxford, Worcester,
and Wolverhampton Railway at Dudie y, and run into the line of the
grand Junction Company near to Birn' !Ingham. It will traverse or
pass in the immediate vicinity of the fe thawing populous manufactur-
ing towns and places, viz. ; Great Bridge !, Swan Village, Oldbury, West
Bromwich, Handsworth, and Smethi rick, and in its course it will
afford railway accommodation to ama nufacturing and mining popu-
lation of upwards of a quarter of a milli on.

The navies of the places of the propo: ted termini, and the above in-
dication of the course of the intended line, must abundantly satisfy
every one that it presents the certainty rof a lucrative traffic both in
goods and in passengers. It is almost t unnecessary to speak further
of so plain a necessity as that of railiv ay accommodation for such a
district.

The wonder would be that the pro posed line had not been esta-
blished long before, were it not for on a very obvious and very po-
tential reason to which it is owing that this rich district has hitherto
been suffered to remain destitute of rs ;ilway accommodation. The
district has been up to this time deprive d of the benefits of railway
means of transit became it was one the richest farms of the
Birmingham Canal Company ; and it is to overcome the depressing
influence of such a destitution that the present plan has been pro-
jected.

The intended line will not interfere WI any existing line of rail-
way ; but it will materially extend the s usefulness of the several lines
about to be connected with Dudley, a nd in particular that great
mining district trunk line, the Oxfor, i, Worcester, and Wolver-
hampton Railway, as also the Shrewsbu cry and South Staffordshire
Jnnction ; besides it will afford to th, t populous districts around
Dudley and Birmingham the direct bone hts of fair and liberal com-
petition in passenger conveyance and in "the transit of their indus-
trial products to their principal market.

The number of omnibuses-, coaches, a Sal swift canal packet-boats
continually travelling between the term hi!, afford the strongest as-
surance of the prospect of a large passe, iger traffic . • while the bulky
nature and vast extent of the mining Sind manufacturing produce
of this well-known district equally you Ali for that in goods ; and

the whole leaves no doubt but that the financial returns of such an
undertaking must yield an ample remu seration for the capital ex•
pended.

In an engineering point of view, it has i been ascertained by careful
surveys that the line is highly favour ale, and presents not the
slightest difficulty, so that* altogether th ere is probably no line of
railway now before the public so much entitled in every way to the
favourable consideration of the parti as. locally interested, or of
capitalists in general. The former have already evinced the warmest
interest in the proposed line; and ind ned it is mainly owing to
urgent local suggestions, that the projac
.led railway has been under-
taken.

No further call (beyond the deposit) • Will be made until the Act
shall be obtained ; and power will be a p plied for in such Act to
allow interest at four per cent. per ani a im on the deposits and
calls from the date of each payment until .1 die opening of the line.
An influential Provisional Committee 1 r ill be published in a few
days. Applications for shares will be re ci dyed until the 14th inst.,
and may be addressed to

Mr. F. T. ELGIE, Solicitor, Worcester, or Joint
Mr. JOHN BOLTON, Bone It or, Dudley j Solicitors.

At a MEETING of the INHABITANTS of this town and neigh•
bourhood, convened by public requisition, and held here this day,
The Rev. WM. POWELL, Vicar of Abergavenny, in the Chair,
It was proposed by Mr. DANIEL, seconded by Mr. ISAAC, and unani•

mously resolved—
That this meeting, being deeply convinced of the necessity and ad-
vantage of direct railway communication between the town of
Abergavenny and the great iron district of Moumouthshire and
l3reconsliire, and finding that this district is embraced ha the grand
scheme of the Great Eastern and Western Railway Company, does
most cordiall/ approve of its plans, and is determined to render it
all the aid it cau command.

ENGINEERS—Sir John Macneill and James Thomson, Esq.

This line of railway has met with general approbation, and its im-
portance cannot be questioned, traversing, as it will, a locality totally
excluded from the benefit of railway communication, though, it may
be said, one continuous town, for a distance of ten miles, and a
densely-populated neighbourhood, the property 4round which is open,
flat, and of a highly favourable character for the construction of a
line of railway.

In addition to the advantage of a direct communication between
the two royal residences at London and Windsor, avoiding the de-
lay, and inconvenience of three different conveyances, and reducing
the time requisite ?or the entire journey To thirty minutes, the pro-
posed line will afford to Barnes, Kew, Isleworth, Bagshot, Ascot,
Sunning-hill, and Egham, all abounding with elegant villas and a
wealthy population, an easy access to London, and form the main
trunk for a direct communication to Exeter, Falmouth, and the
whole of the south-west of England. It will also afford a facility
to reach Hungerford-bridge on the south side of the River by the
Richmond Railway, by means of a branch from Hounslow to Rich-
mond.

The Committee have much pleasure in adding that the surveys are
made, the deposits have been duly paid, and the parliamentary con-
tract is signed and completed.

connect the port of Harwich, by the shortest and most direct
routes, with all parts of England, which on reference to the
map, it will be seen, itcompletely accomplishes. By its con-
nexion with the Eastern Counties' Railway, the shortest
route to London is afforded;—by its junction with the London
and-Birmingham Railway at Blisworth, the most direct ac-
cess to all the manufacturinc, districts of Staffordshire is
opened up; by its connexion at that point with the North-
ampton, Banbury, and Cheltenham line, the most
direct communication with the port of Bristol and
West of England; ' and by the South Midland and
Midland Counties Railways, direct communication is
opened up between the port of Harwich and all the
northern and manufacturing towns of England. The port of
Harwich, it is, perhaps, not generally known, has, since the
termination of the war, been altogether neglected, and its
beautiful and capacious harbour, described by the Government
Commissioners as " the finest and only rate harbour on the
east coast of England, and, as a packet station for all North-
ern and Central Europe, its preservation of national import-
ance," allowed to fall into decay—a liberal Parliamentary
grant had been made for its improvement and preservation,
and the above Company had been formed to carry out more
extensively the objects of Government by the construction
of docks, so as to adapt the port of Harwich for the great
commercial and passenger traffic which, on the completion of
the railway, must inevitably flow thither. Harwich
is destined to become the grand outlet to all parts of
Northern and Central Europe ; and, from the circum-
stance of its being the shortest and most direct route from
England, by way of Antwerp and , Ostend (by means of
existing foreign railways) to Trieste, it is evident also
that Harwich must also sooner or later become the most
direct route for all our communications with Greece, Egypt,
and India (overland), this route being, as a glance at the
map will show, by far shorter and more direct than the pre-
sent overland route to India by way of Paris and Marseilles.
We are glad, therefore, that Harwich is destined to see
brighter days, and that this hitherto neglected and decayed
port is likely, from a fortunate combination of circumstances,
to become one of great national and commercial importance;
and looking at the names of the parties connected with this
great undertaking—to the identification of the work with
the objects and intentions of the Government, and the favour-
able light in which it is viewed by the all-powerful London
and Birmingham Railway, we cannot estimate too highly
the success of the project, whether we look upon it as an
important national work, or as an excellent commercial
speculation. For these reasons, therefore, we consider the
project deserving of every support, both in and out of Par-
liament, and we have no doubt it will obtain it, because it
deserves it. —lron Times.

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.--OXFORD, OCTOBER
7.—Although no public announcement has been given of
the election of Vice-Chancellor, we have it from good au-
thority that a convocation will be holden for that purpose
to-morrow, at twelve o'clock, when letters of nomination
from the Chancellor will be read by the senior proctor, and
if the same are not submitted in the usual manner for the
approbation of the house, a scrutiny, it is expected, will be
demanded. At present there are but few members of con-
vocation here. The Latin sermon at St. Mary's, on Thurs-
day, the 9th instant, will be preached by the Rev. William
Hayward Cox, B.D. of Queen's College, and vice principal
of St. Mary Hall. The various colleges and halls meet as
follows: viz., on Saturday next, Christ Church, Worcester,
Wadham, Pembroke, University, scholars of St. John's and
Alban Hall. On Saturday, the 18th, Lincoln, Brasenose,
Jesus, Exeter, Trinity, Ballot, New Queen's, commoners and
gentlemen commoners of St. John's, Corpus Christi, Oriel,
Magdalen,Magdalen Merton, and the halls of St. Mary, New Inn,
and St. Edmund.
THE NAVY.—TAERETIREaxENT.—It has now be-
come a matter of absolute-certainty, that long before the
latest time ithe Ist of December) for applications to be re-
ceived by the Admiralty from those Captains who may be
desirous of accepting the retirement, their Lordships will have
the names of more than the full number (300), to whom it is
proposed to grant a retiring allowance of ss. per day, in ad-
dition to their present scale of half-par. The number of
applicants already amount to 260, of which, we believe, 45
are captains of the first hundred on the list, on the half-pay
of 14s. 6d. per diem ; 85 are captains of the next 150 on the
list, on the half-pay of 12s. 6d. per diem • and 130 are on
the half-pay of 10s. 6d. per diem. Of this 260, five are hold-
ing good service pensions, 10 have out- pensions from Green-
wich, and about 20 are companions of the Bath.—Herald.
It was reported in Liverpool, yesterday
morning, that the Great Western steamer had been on fire.
Our correspondent, on making inquiries, states, that the acci-
dent arose from some sweepings of one of the flues of the
vessel having been left very carelessly on board on Monday
night, which ignited, but was instantly put out, without the
least damage being done to the vessel, or to anything on
board.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
DEVIZES, TUESDAY NIGHT, NINE, r.sr.—A public meeting
of the corporation and inhahitants of Devizes took place this
day, convened by the mayor (pursuant to a numerously
signed requisition) for the purpose of giving consideration to
the subject of railway communication.
Mr. Henry Butcher, the mayor of Devizes, took the chair
at one o'clock, at which hour the hall was densely crowded
by the most respectable inhabitants. Amongst the gentle.
men present we observed L. Bruges, Esq., M.P. for the
borough; Sir George Prescott, Bart. ; Admiral Sir Deans
Dundas, M.P. ; the Rev. Sir Erasmus Williams, &c.
The following lines, nine in number, were represented at
the meeting:-
1. The London, Newbury, and Bath Direct Railway, pro-
moted by the Kennet and Avon Canal Company, represented
by a deputation headed by Admiral J. W. Deans Dundas,
as the chairman.
2. London, Devizes, and Bridgwater Direct Western
Railway.
3. Bath, Wells, and Exeter Junction.
4. London, Bristol, and South Wales Direct Railway.
5. South and Midlands Junction, and West Midland
Direct Railway.
6. Southern Counties Union, Bristol, Bath, and Dover
Railway.
7. Direct Western Railway.
8. Dover and 13riitol Railway; and
9. Rugby, Swindon, and Weymouth Railway.
Admiral Dundas first addressed the meeting on behalf of
the London, Newbury, and Bath ; Mr. C. Bernard, on behalf
of the London, Devizes, and Bridgwater ; Mr. Moreton on
behalf of the Bath and Wells; Rev. E. Williams, on behalf
of the London, Bristol, and South Wales; Mr. Edwin James
for the South and Midlands, and others. Dr. Brabant, Rev.
A. Maingrig, and others, proposed resolutions.
Ultimately the meeting decided in favour of the three
following lines :—The London, Newbury, and Bath Direct,
the London, Devizes, and Bridgwater, and the South and
Midlands Jimction.

- -
Mr. ARMES and Mr. MACAULAY followed on the same sid
and in behalf of the Lynn and Ely.
On a show of hands the majority were declared to be in
favour of the Wallington line to Wisbeach, and that the
suggested line was not deserving their support.
No opinion was taken on the Boston, Stamford,; and Bir-
mingham.

HERNE BAY, CANTERBURY, AND FAVERSHAM
ATMOSPHERIC.
Yesterday a meeting was held at the Pier Hotel, Herne
Bay, which was attended by the Commissioners, and many
of the principal landed and house proprietors in the town and
its vicinity, for the purpose of considering the propriety of
supporting this project.
Dr. Stokes, the Chairman of the Commissioners, presided
on the occasion.

' The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business, said it was mani-
fest that a railway communication to that healthful spot
must be calculated to render an infinite benefit not merely to
the town itself, but to every one connected with it. The
plan, as proposed upon paper, appeared to him to carry out
all that could be desired. For whilst it offered the facility of
a rapid communication from and to the metropolis at a very
trifling cost, so it would create a medium of transit to Can-
terbury, Dover, and the Continent.—(Hear, hear.) He was
satisfied there could be no opposition offered to the project by
the owners of property in Herne Bay or by its inhabitants,
because, as he had stated, the greatest advantages in every
point of view must result to Herne Bay.
Mr. WnsoN, the Secretary to the Company, said it was
proposed to run a line from Herne Bay to Canterbury, Whit-
stable, and Faversham, at which point it would form a junc-
tion, or connecting link, as it were, with one of the many
lines which were projected to that place. There would then
be a direct railway communication with London—(Hear,
hear)—on the one hand, and through Herne Bay to Canter-
bury, Deal, Margate, Ramsgate, and the Continent. Herne
Bay would be, as it were, the main focus, because not only
would it have the advantage from the metropolis by the line
to Faversham, but it would in consequence of its line to
Canterbury and facile communication to Dover, be a consi-
derable gainer by its connexion with the celebrated. Herne
Bay boats—the City of Canterbury, the Red Rover, and.
Herne.—(Hear.)
A discussion then ensued, in the course of which it was
several times stated that the project would meet with every
support from the parties living in and connected with Herne
Bay.

ANDOVER CANAL AND MANCHESTER AND
SOUTHAMPTON.

ANDOVER.—A meeting of the Directors of the Manchester
and Southampton Railway Company, and a Committee of
the shareholders of the Andover Canal, took place at the
office of the Railway Company on Thursday, when the Com••
pany agreed to purchase the canal from Redbridge to An-
dover at the sum of 30,0001., of which 10,0001., part thereof,
is to be paid as a deposit to the Canal Company in January
next. This arrangement, if carried into effect, will be of ad-
vantage to the shareholders of the canal, as hitherto the
original shares have been considered of little value, but for
which they will then realise nearly 40/. It will also increase
the value of the railway shares.

DIRECT LONDON AND EXETER.
A meeting of the inhabitants of Hammersmith was held
ast evening at the Albion Hall. There were present as a
deputation from the Directors, Sir Henry Pym, Mr. Healy,
Dr. Costelloe, with Messrs. Columbine and Tyrnan, solicitors,
and Mr. Gomm, one of the assistant engineers.
Mr. HEALY took the chair, and explained in an able ad-
dress, which want of space compels us reluctantly to omit,
the merits and advantages of the line.
Mr. COLUMBINE followed, and the other gentlemen of the
deputation, whose statements appeared to give satisfaction.

The delegates of the Luxembourg Railway Companies
have been to Luxembourg, in order to open negotiations
with the Grand Ducal Government to obtain the concession
of a council, which should traverse the territory of Luxem-
bourg, and then he continued to Treves. The Courier of
the Grand Duchy says. that these negotiations have failed,
and that the delegates of the Company have left Luxembourg
without having concluded anything with the council of the
Government.

RAILWAYS VERSUS COACIIES.—The advantages of railways
over the old system of travelling are daily becoming more
apparent. At first economy of time was the great feature in
the improvement, now economy of money is as strikingly
evident. The Brighton Railway Company has again re-
duced its fares. The first class fare, 10s., is now less than
the outside fare heretofore charged by the coaches, to say
nothing of the shillings (or rather half-crowns) and six •
pences charged by the coachmen and porters.

his Excellency, afterwards accompanied Mr. Chadwick and P.
B. Volney, Esq., the concessionnaire, to the Bank of England,

BARQUE CHAMPLAIN_MUTINY
(From the St. John's Courier of September 13.)
The following particulars of the mutinons conduct of twe
crews on board this vessel, have been furnished us for puble.
cation :
." Barque Champlain, J. D. Penton, master, sailed from St.
John's about the sth August last, for Dungarvon, and after
being at sea three days, and the advance notes of the seamen
having been paid, the crew, nine in number, came aft and
said they would do no more work until the ship's head was
turned for St. John, on account of her leaky state, she then
making from one-and-a-half to two inches per hour. They
remained below and left the captain and mate in charge for
seven hours. The captain having no alternative, bore up
and arrived at St. John on the 10th August. On arrival.
warrants were procured, and the seamen were taken into
custody, the ship surveyed, top-sides caulked, pumps
regularly sounded by the harbour-master and port..
wardens, and a certificate given of the barque's
complete sea-worthiness. The seamen were tried be-
fore Alderman Porter, on a charge of refusing to pro .
teed cu the voyage. The trial resulted in an order from the
Alderman for the seamen to return on board to their duty.
They did return, in company with others from the shore,
threatened the mate's life, and finally left the vessel. Another
crew, ten in number, was shipped, on the 21st ; the vessel
again sailed from Partridge Island, and when between Grand
Marian and the Machias Seal Islands, on the 23d, at nine
A.M., the crew came aft, saying they would go no further in
the ship, ordered the helm to be put up, which was prevented
kyr Captain P. remaining by the man at the wheel.
The crew squared the main-yard, but the mate prevented
them from squaring the other yards. Eight of the crew
then went below, and the captain and mate having gone
forward to brace the main-yard up, the man at the wheel
then left, saying he should do like the rest. The cap-
tain, mate, and one man, who acted as cook and steward.
were all that remained on deck to work the vessel. On
Sunday morning, it was discovered that there was seven
feet water in the hold, and after pumping for some time
found the water to increase. The captain then went forward
to the forecastle hatch to ask the seamen if they intended to
let the ship sink, when he saw a small hatch off, leading to
the.fore-peak, and one man handing to the carpenter two.
augers. The crew told him that if the weather only cleared
they should confine him, and themselves take the ship to St,
John, but if it remained thick, and the ship water-logged,
they should take the boats and give him a plank. At thirty
minutes after two, P.M., the weather having cleared a little,
a brig called the Noble, of Lubec, saw the barque's ensign
union down, and came within hail, and agreed to send Isis
second mate on board to pilot the barque into Machias, it
being the safest and nearest port. The crew then agreed to
pump the ship out if they got something to eat, having had
nothing for thirty-two hours. During the night they
did not gain much on the water, and the pilot missed
some of the men from the pumps, and on going forward
he heard a loud knocking and saw the hatch off the fore-
peak, and one man came up, and three came over
the bows, who pretended that they had been smoking..
They returned to the pumps, and the pilot communicated
what he had seen and heard to the captain, who went over
the bows in the morning, and then saw two plugs, perfectly
new, four feet under water, projecting six or seven inches
outside the ship's sheathing. This circumstance was made
known to the mate and pilot, and they all resolved to say
nothing about it at the time, lest the crew should refuse to
work the ship while among the islands. A short time after-
wards, on looking over the bows it was found that one of the
plugs had been cut off within an inch of the ship's side, and.
the lower one about two inches. The water in the holL
now rapidly decreasing, and at thr ay, the
barque was brought to euc r Ilachias port, and

been bored in the bows by the crew, and afterwards plugged.
