England, and the whole of Scotland, and as the line now proposed
is of tp direct a character " northward " from Gloucester, the
traffic derivable from other lines must be immense, in addition to
the large local traffic, which, after due inquiry, th? promoters find
will atone be amply sufficient to produce a very remunerative
return on the outlay required.
It should he observed, that the intention of forming a direct
trunk line has from the first never been lost sight of, so that
although a deviation in favour of several towns in the neighbour-
hood through which the line will pass, or the formation of branche
to others, might have been productive of considerable advantage in
some respects, the promoters determited on persevering in their
original intention, and have to congratulate themselves on so
doing, as they have avoided an unpleasant collision with exist-
ing projects.
The country having been carefully examined by Mr. Galloway

(the Company's engineer), has been found peculiarly favourable for
railway operations ; indeed, for a considerable portion of the
whole distance, no cuttings whatever will be required, and this,
connected with the fact that those of the landed proprietary
whose support so far has been sought have expressed them.
selves very favourable to the project, lead to the inference, that
seldom has so important an undertaking been commenced with
greater prospect of complete success.
The subscribers will only be held liable for the amount of the
shares subscribed for by them, and power will be sought for in
the Act to authorise the allowance of an interest of 4 per cent.
per annnm on all calls from the time of payment to that of open-
ing tht line. . . .

In the allotment of shares the promoters wish it to be under-
stood that all applications from parties locally interested will re-
ceive a primary consideration, and in all cases it is requested that
no application may be made to which references of respectability
are not attached.

A full prospectus, with the names of an influential Provisional
Committee, will appear in a few days; in the interim applications
for shares may be made to, and further particulars known from,

The establishment of the above railway will effect two great
and important objects :—first, the supply of the metropolis and its
vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre-
sent mode of transit: secondly, by the exclusion of passenger
traffic, to diminish the risk of accidents, which objects can only be
attained by constructing a railway for the express purpose of carry-
ing coals and merchandise exclusively.
The expenses of the London and Birmingham Railway for 1844
(set forth in the prospectus of this Company), prove that coal
may be brought the entire distance from the Northern Col-
lieries to London at one-half the cost of coal conveyed by ship, and
yet leave a profit of ten per cent, upon a capital of 5,000,0001.
In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afforded
to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods,
which will materially increase the revenue of the Company.
It is proposed to raise the required capital in 200,000 shares of
251. each ; deposit 21. 12s. 6d. per share, the subsequent calls to be
made in the usual way.
The customary clauses will be inserted in the Act, limiting the
liability of the shareholders to the amount of their respective
shares.

Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum will be allowed
on all calls between the passing of the Act and the opening of the
railway,
The Committee of Management have the satisfaction to state,
that owing to the measures that have been taken, the surveys, &e.,
are in a very forward state, and that the necessary documents will
be deposited in accordance with the standing orders of Parliament,
and application made for the Bill in the approaching session.

The Committee, with the view of enabling responsible
parties (desirous to participate in the allotment) to secure
at least some shares in this great undertaking, will permit the pay-
ment of a preliminary deposit of 10s. 6d. per share previous to ap-
plication being made ; and will guarantee that the parties so paying
shall have shares allotted them, to at least the number upon which
the sum paid by them as a preliminary deposit shall cover the full
deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. They, however, reserve to themselves the
right of limiting this privilege to the extent of 100 shares, if a
larger number should be applied for, or even of refusing it, in cases
where they may find on inquiry that the applicant is not in their
judgment eligible to be a shareholder; in such cases the deposit
will be immediately returned ; nor will this privilege be extended
beyond the deposition of 100,000 shares, after which the bankers
of the Company will receive instructions to refuse further prelimi.
nary deposits.
The preliminary deposits must be paid to the bankers of the
Company, who will furnish a receipt for the same. The Com-
mittee caution the public not to negotiate such receipts, as their
undertaking to supply the shares holds good only sn far as the
applicants, upon their references being examined into, prove re-
spectable and responsible. They particularly request that each
applicant for shares who avails himself of this privilege will state,
in his application, the amount of the deposit he has paid, and the
number of the bankers' receipt.

PROSPECTUS. _ .

This line is designed to open a direct communication between the
towns of Birmingham and Boston.
The advantages to be derived by a rich, progressing, and populous
town, such as Birmingham, the great manufacturing centre of
the kingdom, having a direct communication with a port on the
eastern coast facing the Continent, and that port the nearest to it by
geographical position, need but Ile mentioned to be appreciated.
The name of Birmingham speaks for itself ; the capacity and value
of Boston, as a commercial port, is daily increasing, and requires but
little enterprise to enable it to compete with some of our best ports.
It is proposed that this line should commence at Leieester, where it
will form a continuation of the line from Birmingham to that town,
and proceeding by, or near Melton Mowbray, Corby, Folkingham, and
Donntngton, terminate at Boston, thus affording a direct communt.
cation between Birmingham and its important manufacturing dis-
tricts, Rugby, the great railway centre of England, and Boston, their
nearest seaport, which eventually must command the traffic of the
districts with which it is in connexion, and the opposite ports of the
Continent.
A glance at the map will show how this line is fed, and the towns
In its neighbourhood supplied with railway accommodation by the
Intersecting lines; but in the event of the London and York live not
obtaining its Act, it is proposed by this Company to construct a
branch to Grantham.
The country is easy, presenting few or no engineering difficulties.
Another advantage held out by this project is the improvement
of the harboar of Boston, whereby it will be restored to that eminent
position it formerly held among the ports and harbours of the
kingdom.
The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at
four per cent. per axnum, after passing the Act, on the amount of
the subscription paid up. No subscriber shall be answerable for
more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and
then not beyond the amount of his subscription.
A more detailed prospectus will be issued in a few days, contaittim
the names of many influential gentlemen locally interested in the
proposed line.

It has long been an object of public desire to obtain a harbour of
refuge on the sonthern coast, and no place, whether from its natural
advantages or its position towards the opposite coast, is better
situated for this purpose than Dungeness.
Besides offering the only anchorage withont artificial means, be-
tween the Owers and the South Foreland, it affords an invariable
shelter for ships going up the Channel with east, and down with
west and south-west winds. It also gives the shortest, the most
certain, and the safest passage to Boulogne.
To effect these desirable objects, it will, however, be necessary to
construct a breakwater on the outer side of Swallow-bank, lying
three miles from the shore, to the eastward of the Ness ; by which
means a harbour of refuge will be obtained, and such a depth of
water secured, as to receive ships, and enable passengers (by means
of jetties or piers on the east and west sides of the Ness point) at all
times to effect a landing.
We would here refer to the evidence of his Grace the Duke of Wel-
lington, given before a Select Committee of the House of Commons,
on the subject of shipwrecks, and his opinion as to the expediency of
erecting a new harbour of safety between Portsmouth and the
Thames.

On that occasion his Grace said,:" I have no doubt about it. I
entertain no doubt that it is absolutely necessary. There is now no
security between Portsmouth and the Downs. Dover roads is a very
secure place in the period of a northerly or easterly wind, but there
ver ihe want of
is no security at other times ; but on the contrary, it is a very dan-
gerous place in a wind from the south-west. They can run for the
Downs, but there is no great ease in the Downs. Certainly there is
noa se 'except from warlike attempts • but I should
y t protection from the weather and
from military attacks in the Channel, the trade of the port of London
will be in a very precarious situation, and will be a very losing one
say that, security
in
consideringD°
in a variety of ways in time of war, if something be not done before-
hand—if some precautions are not taken.
" Steam power in moving ships has made such progress at present
as that it must have a most material effect in maritime warfare (I
use the word maritime warfare in contradistinction to naval war-
fare) in all future times.
•• If anybody will just consider the advantage the French coast
enjoys over the coast of this country in observation of what is pass-
ing at sea that is to the southward ; they have the sun in their
backs, they see everything quite clear, and it is possible from the
coast of France to calculate to a moment at what period a vessel
coming up Channel will arrive at particular points, and they may be
in readiness to seize her at ally point which may happen to be un-
guarded, supposing the vessel to be without convoy, and supposing
that there should be no naval means at that place to take care of
her. I should say that the trade of the port of London would
labour under a great disadvantage if it were found that every vessel
coming up from Portsmouth was obliged to come up in convoy, that
shs should be shut up unless there were a convoy ; and there are no
means of providing for that safety, except by ports—not one only,
but there ought to be, I should say, at least two between the Downs
and Portsmouth ; I should say one about Dungeness, and another
possibly at Dover.
" I have given a good deal of reflection to it , and have thought of
it a long while, and that is the conclusion to which I have come, and
it is a rational conclusion, for it is founded on what the state of the
commerce of this port (which is the great port of the country), will
be by-and-by if something'is not done."
In addition to the abov(, reasons, a breakwater is desirable, on
account of the vast number of vessels engaged in the fisheries, nearly
all of which, had they the opportunay atTorde.l them, would land at
Dungeness, whence they would he enabled to transport fish direct to
London, instead. of by way of Brighton, a course which the want
of a harbour now compels them to adopt.
It is also intended, in connexion with the proposeAl breakwater, to
ferns a line of railway from Dungeness to the town of Eye, and
thence to the South-Eastern hallway station at Paddock-wood, thus
connecting it with the branch at Ashford on the one side, and that
to Hastings on the other, and at Jaddock-wood with the branches to
Maidstone and to Tunbridge.
In a public Mitt el Tim there 04111107 r to little maim to !lOW

upon the value of this undertaking. Security to our shipping of every
description, the prevention of shipwreck, the promotion of the
fisheries, an exhaustless supply of the finest water for the navy, an
easy and uninterrupted passage to the Continent, and a ready com-
munication with all parts, eastward and westward, and especially
by means of either existing or projected railways with Chatham and
London, are the obvious advantages, and there can be no doubt but
t will receive from the Government that support which It deserves.
Instead of being, as at present, a perilous point, this part of the
coast will be a sure refuge in the most threatening circumstances..
The line from Rye to Paddock-wood, passing through a populous
district, will open and maintain a traffic of undoubted importance, a
large transit trade will necessarily arise from the weather-bound
vessels et/ the Ness Point, five or six hundred of them being fre-
quently detained there for several weeks, many of them anxious to
discharge their cargoes. An ample return to the shareholders cannot
fail being made, while they will have the satisfactory reflection of
knowing that they have largely contributed to the wealth, resources,
and security of the country.
The liability of the shareholders will be restricted to the amount
of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for in the Bill to
allow interest at four per cent. per annum on all calls, from tke pass-
ing of the Act until the opening of the line.
Applications for prospectuses, and also for shares, in the undermen-

Although the advantage of the South Wales Railway as a means of
connectingthe towns ofCardiff, Neat b,'Swansea, and Llanelly, with the
metropolis, must be admitted, it is obvious that an object of great
national importance, viz., a direct communication with the naval
Arsenal at Pembroke, and with the south of Ireland, has been neu-
tralised by the refusal of the Board of Admiralty to suffer the con-
struction of a fixed bridge below Gloucester, over the Severn.
In order to connect Birmingham and the great manufacturing dis-
tricts with the various ports on the Welsh coast, the W. lsh Midland
Railway was projected ; the contemplated route being from Bir-
mingham by Leominster, and Hay to Brecon, from whence, follow-
ing the course of the high road from London to Milford Haven, it is
proposed to join the South Wales Railway at Carmarthen, and to
connect their proposed Railway with the Port of Newport, the Welsh
Midland Company have purchased the Brecon Canal, extending
from Brecon by Abergavenny to Pontypool.
The proposed line will commence at Abergavenny, by a junction
with the Welsh Midland Railway, and will proceed from thence to
Ross and G'oucester, completing, by the easiest and shortest route,
the direct chain of communication between London and Milford
Haven.
Gloucester and Carmarthen are due west of each other—Cardiff is
twenty-seven miles south of both. By the construction of this line
a saving in distance will be effected of thirty miles over the route by
Cardiff.
The great importance of this will be estimated when it is con-
sidered that Pembroke is one of the largest naval arsenals in the
kingdom, and that from Milford Haven the mails are forwarded to
Waterford, Wexford, Cork, Limerick, and the whole of the south of
Ireland.
It is scarcely necessary to give a detailed estimate of the probable
revenue that will arise from this railway ; it will receive all the
traffic passing between the south of Ireland, Fishguard, Haverford-
west, Pembroke, Narberth, Carmarthen, Llandilo, Llandovery,
Brecon, Merthyr Tydvil, Abergavenny, Monmouth, Ross, and Lon-
don ; the local traffic is very considerable ; and from the carriage of
iron and coal a large revenue will be derived.
A survey of the line has been made : the favourable nature of the
country generally offers great facilities for the undertaking.
The breadth of gauge will be open to the decision of the Commis-
sion now sitting; it is reasonable to conclude they will recommend
it to be uniform on the railways to be constructed in the South
Wales district.
In the allotment of shares a preference will be given to parties
locally interested, and proprietors of shares in the Welsh Midland
Railway.
Prospectuses may be had, and application for shares may be ad-
dressed to the solicitors and local agents, or to the following share-

The port of Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports from the

of direct communication from the midland counties to a place so ad-

way, by forming a line from Melton Mowbray to Folkingham, will
supply the only link wanting to complete a direct through communi-
cation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worces'er, Coventry, and the
manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as by means of
existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Channel
to that seaport.
The length of the proposed line will not exceed twenty-six miles ;
and as it will pass through a country very favourable for engineer-
ing purposes, the expense of construction will, it is expected, be less
than the usual average. The admirable position of this railway can-
not fail, it is confidently expected, to command a large return, both
in passengers and in goads traffic.

The shareholders of the South Midland Railway Company are in
formed that arrangements have been made by the Committee of
Management with the Board of Directors of the Midland Railway
Company for carrying ont tic original South Midland line with the
important additions of a line to Bedford and a branch to Huntingdon,
the whole being consolidated in one undertaking, and placed under
the management of a joint Board of Direction composed of members
of the Boards of the two Companies.
The objects, therefore, embraced by the present undertaking are-
1. A direct line from Leicester by way of Market Harborough to
Northampton, being . he original South Midland
2. A line diverging therefrom at Market Marborough, and passing
by way of Kettering to Bedford ; and
3. A branch from the last-mentioned line, at or near Kettering, to

Huntingdon.
The capital at present belonging to the South Midland Company
will form a portion of the consolidated capital (the remainder being
contributed by the Midland Railway Company), and in order to com-
ply with the Standing Orders of the House of Lords, as recently
altered, it is necessary that the deposit of 1/. 2s. already paid on the
South Midland shares should be increased to 2/. 2s. It is also neces-
sary that the scrip should be called in and re-issued, and new Parlia-
mentary deeds executed.
The shareholders in the South Midland Company are therefore re-
quired to pay, on or before the 25th day of October next, the further
sum of 1/. per share on the Shares respectively held by them, and for
this purpose to deposit with the Secretary, at the Company's offices,
Leicester, the scrip now held by them, together with an application
for registry and exchange in the annexed form, on or before the 18th
day of October next.
The requisite order to one of the Company's bankers to rece've the
increased deposit will be issued within three days after the registry
of the scrip, and on the production of the bankers' receipt and the
execution of the new Parliamentary contract, the new scrip cer-
ificates will be issued.
All scrip in respect of which the shareholders shall fail to take the
ne essary steps for payment of the repaired deposit within the
specified period will be forfeited.
Forms -f application for registry and exchange of scrip may be ob-
tained by applying to the Secretary, at the Company's offices.

PALACE COURT.--FRIDAY.
(llfore Mr. W. BRENT BRENT.)
BROWN V. DENVIL.
The defendant in this case, against whom a verdict was
given en the last court day, appeared under a summons
granted under the Small Debts Act, to show cause why the
amount of the debts and costs should not be paid by instal-
ments. The debt was 101. money, deposited by the plaintiff
as a check-taker with the defendant, as lessee of the Pavilion
Theatre, and the costs were 6/. Os. 10d. The defendant was
examined now on his oath.
It appeared that Mr. Denvil, who is an actor of some re-
putation, became lessee of the Pavilion Theatre, without, as
he admitted, any capital, and was suddenly obliged to quit
possession. He, however, paid all his performers, and should
have returned the deposit made with hint by Brown, but for
non-employment, sickness, and a large family entirely de-
pendent upon him for support. He was now fulfilling an en-
gagement at Astley's Theatre, which was to continue for only
three weeks longer; his salary was 41. a week.
An application was made on the part of the plaintiff for an
order on the defendant to pay 1/. a week.
The defendant, with some excitement, said it was an utter
impossibilily. He had to pay 2/. a week to creditors, and to
support ten in family out of the other 21. At present he
could pay no portion of the debt. He entered into an ex-
planation of his connexion with the Pavilion Theatre, and
his subsequent struggles to pay all his creditors without
taking the benefit of the Act. It was only en Saturday that
his wife was confined; and how, he asked, could he pay any
money at the present time?
The Learned JUDGE reasoned with the defendant, telling
him that he could pay the plaintiff; who had deposited money
with him, at 103. a week.
The defendant declared that he could do no such thing.
People must eat, and he had ten in family to support. The
law would not order a man to act without eating, and ottt of
the 2/. remaining, after paying the sum he had agreed to
other persons, how could he afford to pay any part?
The matter was discussed at some length, and the case of
the plaintiff urged as a person who required the money to
pay a doctor's bill. It was offered that, if an order was
made on the defendant to pay 10s. a week while he was in
an engagement, no application would be made for his com-
mitment. He said he could not pay it, " and his carcase
must be had, he supposed, for the money."
The COURT made an order fur 10s. a week, the first pay-
ment not to be made till Monday week.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
An elderly woman, in the attire of the Society of Friends,
was brought before the Lord Mayor by Horsford, one of the
officers of the Mendicity Society, on the charge of having
gone the rounds on the begging letter and petition system.
She stated her name to be Mry Cattell, and that she was
one of the sect to which she appeared to belong.
The officer of the society stated that he had followed the
defendant, who went from house to l.ouse with a red-book
in her hand, and appealed to the owners for the exercise of
ever so small a mite of humanity. Her appearance was ex-
tremely serviceable to the object upon which she professed
to pay her visits, and even amongst those who were evidently
hard pushed to support their families she raised from Id. to
6d. a head. She represented that she laboured to release a
person from prison who had been confined there for a length
of time ; and it was really difficult to resist her supplication
for she accommodated herself to the very lowest capacity of
pocket. After having witnessed for some time the unwearied
perseverance of the defendant, he told her he wanted her and
her red-book and her papers, and, af:er such a stru7gle as
her little strength permitted, she resigned them to his hands.
In her pocket were 7s. 6d. in silver, some halfpence, and a
201. Bank of England note, which appeared to have just ar-
rived from that establishment.

The LORD MAYOR—WeII, defendant, where did you gel
its 201. note? 'Defendant—l got it at the Bank of England
The LORD MAYOR—A dividend, I suppose? The de.

fondant—Not at all. I got it for silver.
The LORD MAYOR—Oh, you got it for the money you
raised by going round for charity. The defendant— I don't
want to deny anything. I have been seeking essistanca to
release my brother from captivity in the Queen's Prison,
where he has been confined five or six years. I am not
ashamed of the manner in which I have been engaged, con-
sidering the motive.
Horsford said, the old lady had about her several peti-
tions, which had been worn into an almost illegible con-
dition.

The LORD MAYOR—WeII, defendant, you hare been suc-
cessful in your applications, as the 201.-note testifies. The
defendant —But the 20/. will not accomplish the object I

have in view. The meeting-houses about town have copies
of the petition, and will, I have no doubt, assist me. The
contest in which my brother is engaged is a law contest, and
it would be difficult to point out any way of getting the
better of it without money. To obtain such aid, Ido not
hesitate to go from door to door, and to solicit the smallest
benevolence. _ _ _

The LORD MAYOR directed that the defendant should be
taken care of until inquiries be made into the foundation of
her defence.

A man whose name was according to his own statement,
Robert Wilkinson, was brought up in the custody of a po-
liceman, charged with having attempted by a letter forged
in the name of the Rev. Baptist Noel to impose upon Mr.
Gurney Barclay, the banker of Lombard-street.
The letter was presented by the prisoner, who was imme-
diately given into custody. It recommended the bearer as
an object meriting the consideration of the charitable, and
subsequently there came into the hands of Mr. Barclay, a
list of subscribers for the aid of the party named in the letter.
Horsford, the Mendicity Society's officer, who upon seeing
the prisoner remained in the justice •room to hear the case, here
declared that Mr. Wilkinson's real name was John William
Dennison, and that a more resolute impostor could not be
found in all London.
The prisoner said, the. mendicity officer was wrong in
saying that his name was John William Dennison. It was
no such thing. It was William John Dennison.—(Laughter.)
He wished he had money to pay for a defence, and he would
soon silence the officer.
Horsford—My Lord, he has been an impostor of the most
active and detern- ined character for years about town; he
has been committed frequently from several police-offices.
The prisoner—Don't believe him, my Lord. Men of this
description are strangely given to lying.—(Laughter.)
The LORD Mayor.—He says that he has known you to be
a hardened impostor, and to have been committed several
times.

The prisoner—Whatever might have taken place before
has nothing to do with the present charge, Why should it?
The Loan MAYOR—You may find that it has. He may
produce such a thing as evidence of your conviction upon a
former occasion, and that may have something particular to
do with the present charge.
Horsford—My Lord, he has been convicted at that bar. A
woman who lives with him and assists him in this way of
living has been committed, together with her son, a clever
boy, whom they have brought up to practices of the same
kind. _ _ _

The prisoner—The boy was not committed, for I took upon
me the offence with which he was charged. and the fact is, I
was committed at that bar; and so you see you are wrong
again.—(Laughter.)
Horsford—You were all three committed.

The prisoner—l had three months, put I took the offence
upon myself.
The Loan MAYOR.—I shall remand the prisoner, in order
to give the society time to make further inquiry and bring
forward more evidence.
