PROSPECTUS.
The proposed line, commencing at the London and Birmingham
Railway near Northampton, will proceed by Market Harborough to
the Midland Counties line. near Leicester, with a short branch to the
Leicester and Swannington Railway, effecting a very considerable
saving, both of distance and time, between London and Leicester,
Nottingham, Derby, Sheffield, Leeds, and the north of England,
opening the coal and mineral region of Leicestershire and Derby-
shire to the agricultural district around Market Harborough and
Northampton, and forming, in connexion with the Sheffield and
Chesterfield and Erewash Valley Railways the shortest line that can
be made to Sheffield, and with the proposed Manchester, Buxton,
Matlock, and Midlands Railway the shortest practicable route to
Manchester.
By taking the London traffic direct from Leicester to Blisworth it
avoids the long stoppage at Rugby (at present sufficiently incon-
venien), but which must hereafter be materially lengthened by the
junction of the Trent Valley and Oxford and Rugby lines with the
London and Birmingham and Midlands at that station, and will
entitle better arrangements to be made for the accommodation of the
Oxford and southern traffic, which would still pass over that part of
the Midlands line between Leicester nd Rugby.
It will also avoid the Kilsby and Weedon tunnels on the Birming-
ham line (the former of which is upwards of one mile and a quarter
in length), thus combining greater security with increased expedi-
tion ; and although it necessarily deprives both the London and
Birmingham and Midlands lines, for a short distance, of ieportion of
their present traffic, yet this is compensated for tenfold, by enabling
them more successfully to compete for the Leeds and York traffic,
which must otherwise be diverted into other lines now be 'ore Par-
liament; thus in effect becoming a most valuable coadjutor instead
of a rival to these Companies,
This line also remedies the inconvenience experienced from the
want of immediate connexion between the Leicester and Swanning-
ton and Midlands railways ; and will, by materially reducing the
charge for carriage, enable a much larger quantity of coal to be sent
from the Swannington and Whitwick coal fields, and from the Clay
Cross district, to the interior of the adjoining counties and to the
Metropolis. From a calculation of the traffic on the Midlands and
Manchester and Birmingham lines (a considerable share of which
would be obtained by this Company), it is certain that
a return of at least 12 per cent., will be paid to the
Shareholders, as in addition to the through and intermediate traffic,
a very large profit will be derived from the importation of coal,
stone, and minerals, into the rich agricultural district around Market
Harborough and Northampton ; and from the large quantities of
corn, fat cattle, sheep, &c., annually sent from the whole of the sur-
rounding country to the London Market.
Power will be taken in the Act to allow four per cent. interest on
deposits and calls till the completion of the line, and to lease or sell
the same when made.
Applications for Shares in the annexed form, accompanied by a
reference to a Banker or Member of the Committee, may be made to
the Solicitors, and to Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, Threadneedle-
street, London ; and Messrs. Cardwell and Sons, Manchester ; and at

THE WAY TO WEALTH ! I
The way to get wealth we would beg to express,
Depenes a great deal on your manner of dress
'Tis the key of society—many there are,
Who find to their prospects a very great bar—
This obstacle now we would fain obviate,
And the " way to get wealth" would likewise illustrate
There are many ways of getting wealth. Some get it by law—
some by medicine—some obtain it by gallantry in the army—others
by a noble daring in the navy—some get it at home—others abroad
--some gain wealth on the stage of a theatre—others gain it on the
stage of life—but it is quite obvious that unless a man dresses well,
wealth is a commoility that cannot easily be obtained Now the
shortest way, and by far the surest, to obtain wealth, is to patronise
the MAGNIFICENT EMPORIUM of L. HYAM, 36, GRACE-
CHURCH-STREET, LONDON. Attire yourself in his unrivalled
clothing—ba persevering—obliging—and devotedly intent on your

St. Martin's-le-Grand, General Post-office, Inland Department,
October, 9, 1844.

Sir,—For the last three or four years I have been labouring under
a nervous deafness, so much so at times as to be almost incapable of
hearing. After trying several very eminent aurists, from whom I de-
rived scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend,
to try your excellent Eye Snuff. I accordingly procured one of your
4s. 4d. canisters, after taking which I found considerable benefit, so
much so that I sent for two more, which, having used, I found my
hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf since. I should
mention that the time I commenced taking your Eye Snuff was in
April last, and have continued taking it since.--I am, Sir, your obe-
dient servant, w. 11. ADAMS.

To Mr. W. Gritnstone
Any quantity of Eye Snuff can be forwarded through the General
Post, by sending money orders. A 2.5. 4d. canister, with directions,
will cost 35., and so on In Mt proportion,

in substance that CERTAIN PERSONS having taken advantage of
the absence of Mr. Victor Bohain to suppress the " Courrier de Mu-
rope," and to substitute another journal in its place, Mr. Jean Bap-
tiste Desplace begs to say, that if that advertisement is meant to ap-
ply either to himself or any other person connected with the " Obser-
vateur Francais," he denies the truth thereof, and further Is able to
prove that Mr. V. Bohain himself was the sole cause of the non-pub-
lication of the "Courrier de l'Europe" last Saturday, either by his
unwillingness or inability to tbrnish the necessary funds (as he was
bound to do) for its publication.

INDIA.
(From the Gazette of Tuesday.)
India Board, May 19, 1845.
A dispatch, from which the following is an extract, has been re
ceived at the East India House:—
MAJOR-GENERA! SIR CUARLES NAPIER, C.C.S., TO TIIE GOVERNOR-
GENERAL OF INDIA.

Head-Quarters, Camp, Shahpoor, Jan 17, 1845

(Extract.)

In the course of the latter part of last summer I reported to
you how this frontier had been vexed by the unprovoked attacks
made upon Sinde by the Doomkee, Jakrainee, and Boogtie tribes.
These plunderers had, of late, become more harassing to the
frontier posts. They are, es you are aware; subjects to the Khan
of Kelat, but are in open rebellion against him. A few weeks
ago his Highness attempted to reduce them to obedience. His

Highness's wishes are completely with us, and his personal conduct
has been honourable. However, he KW unable to effect his pur.
pose; he had advanced as far as Poolajee, but retired discomfited,
followed up by the rebel Beejar Khan to Elia& which has been
plundered. Where the Khan has retired to Ido not at present
know; I suppose to Dadur. •

On the 13th inst. I left Sukkur with the head-quarters; on the
same day, Captain Jacob marched with the Sinde horse and camel
corps from Larkhana. Wallee Mahomed, the Chandia chief, with
several other chiefs of Belooch tribes, marchrd on the 15th from
their various villages; and, on the 16th, Wal ee Mohamed, ac-
cording to the orders which he had received from me, took posses-
sion of Poolajee, which was abandoned by the enemy. On the
same day Captain Jacob attacked and tort Shahpoor i and, at the
same day and hour, Captain Salter attacked Ooch, a post ten miles
to the east of Shahpoor. Both of these places are in the midst c.O
the Desert, and the enemy was surprised at both. At both resist.
ance was made, and at Ooch about' 3,500 head of cattle were
taken, the produce of their late plunietlng expeditions. Among
the rest are the tattoos of the grass cutters belonging to the 6th
irregular cavalry. and taken when those unfortunate men were
cut to pieces last summer.

Having made forced marches of 120 miles in three dam, itssur-
prise the enemy (the last march made by head quarters iffia by
Captain Mowat with one six-pounder and one howirser, being fifty-
six miles within twenty-four hours, through a desert of sand), I
shall halt here for a day or two to rest the troops, and allow our
supplies to overtake us.

In forwarding the reports of Captains Salter and Jacob, I beg to
draw your attention to the decisive courage, activity, and success
with which these two officers have executed the orders they re-
ceived, and to the good humour wish which the troops have made
these harassing marches in the Desert. Wallee Mahomed, the
Chandia chief, has also shown the greatest zeal and activity, ar-
riving at the point he was ordered, and with the greatest accuracy
as to time; it was that point, too, at which most resistance was
contemplated.

The 2d Europeans are on their march from Sukkur to this place,
under Major-General Hunter, together with sore of the 64th and
4th Regiments of Native Infantry, whose ardent wish to take the
field I thought it fair to these regiments to comply with under
existing circumstances.

The Bundelkund Legion crossed the Indus on the 16th, under
Major. General Simpson, and is following the route of Major-Ge-
neral Hunter.

To-morrow every outlet from the hills will be blocked up by the
cavalry ; and I hope to inflict another lesson upon the plundering
tribes.

P.S.—Since writing the above, some men hive been capture
who were in the fight at Ooch ; from these we have learned that
about 45 were wounded, and 40 killed ; among the former is Deria
Khan, the chief of the Jakrainees. He received a grape-shot in
his breast, and was dying. There were 700 men; they thought
they had to deal with Wallee Mahomed Chandia, and were not
aware we were there till the artillery opened. They had drawn up
in battle array to tight, when Captain Salter charged.

CAPTAIN G. SALTER, 4TH NATIVE INFANTRY, COMMAND-
ING THE DETACHMENT, TO MAJOR GREEN, C. 8., ASSIST.
ANT ADJUTANT-GENERAL, SINDE.
Head-Quarters, Camp, Ooch, Jan. 16, 1845.
Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the information of Major.
General Sir C. Napier, G.C.8., that I had, last night, the good
fortune to execute successfully his orders for surprising the encamp-
ment of the Belooch marauders, at Ooch, with the detachment, as
per margin,* under my command.
After a march of forty miles from Khanghur, we-reached
Ooch, at eleven P.N. ; the cavalry charged down upon the en-
campment and did some execution, but from the hilly nature of the
country they could not repeat the charge with effect after the first
surprise, as the enemy iminedisiely took to the surrounding low,
but lery steep, hills, and commenced firing with their matchlocks.
In the darkness of the tight no just estimate could be formed
of the number of the enemy, but they are reported to have been
about five hundred men, chiefly Jakrainecs and Boordees.
Of these there were killed, Sowla, Jakrainee, the brother of
Toochally, a principal chief of the marauders, and his two sons ;
and Deldar Khan, the son of Khyra Khan, a Boordee chief;
some other noted marauders were killed or wounded, in all
about sixty men.
Three thousand five hundred head of camels, cattle, sheep, and
goats, the accumulated plunder of the robbers, were taken, and a
quantity of grain ; and the deserted encampment was burnt the
next morning.
I beg to report that Lieutenant Holmes, commanding the 6th
Irregular Cavalry, set his men a most gallant example; his own
horse was wounded, and his orderly's killed ; and Lieut. Putman,
commanding the two guns, served them with quickness, precision,
and effect.
Mahomed Buksh, Naib Ressaldar, commanding the troop 9th
Irregular Cavalry, an excelient officer, killed the Boordee
chief in my presence, who had just cut down and killed my
orderly's horse.
I have the honour to enclose a return of the killed and wounded
of the detachment, and regret that, in Azim Beg, Ressaldar, 6th
Irregular Cavalry, the corps has lost a brave and valuable officer,
and the Government an old and faithful servant, who had lately
the honour to be favourably noticed in general orders.—l have, Ac.,
G. SALTER, Captain 4th Native Inf..ntry,
Commanding the Detachment.

CAPTAIN J. JACOB, COMMANDING SINDE IRREGULAR HORSE, TO
MAJOR GREEN, C.D., ASSISTANT ADJUTANT-GENERAL.
Shahpoor, Jan. 18, 1845.
Sir,—l have the honour to report that, on the morning of the
13th inst., I marched from Larkanah with the camel corps,
European volunteers, two thre.pounder guns on camels, and the
Sinde irregular horse. We reached Khyrake.Gurree, distant forty
miles, the same evening, found the supply of water at that place
insufficient even for the whole of the men of my detachment ; the
horses and camels got none. On the morning of the 14th, we
marched to Rojan, twenty-four miles, and arrived there at noon;
the supply of water at that place was altogether insufficient for 'he
detachment, and men and horses were much distressed in conse-
quence. According to orders, I sent the camel corps and volun-
teers to Khanghur, and at noon, on the 15th, I marched with the
Slade horse and two three-pot.nder guns towards Shahpoor, leaving
nine of our horses behind, in a dying state, from thirst.
I reached Lunde (distant thirty.five miles from Rojan, and about
two from Shahpoor) at half-past eleven at night, and there received
information that Wuzzeer Khan (son of Beejar Khan Doomkee)
was at Shahpoer with a large party of Jakrainees, Doomkees, and
Boordees. I pushed on at a trot, and completely surrounded the
village of Shahpoor before the alarm vfhs given, or before any one
could escape; and, knowing the place well, I at once galloped into
a sort of inclosure on one side of the village, where the Jakralnee
horsemen usually resided ; there was, however, no one there but
a number of juts and herdsmen ; the enemy had that night occu-
pied the houses inside the village, and now opened a heavy fire of
matchlocks on us from a high tower and from the houses.
I immediately picqueted a troop, and took the men into the vil-
lage on foot, when all opposition ceased, and the robbers were only
anxious to hide their arm,. I seized sixty-two prisoners (well
armed, and whose matchlocks had nearly all been used that night),
Jakrainees, Doomkees, and Boordees, among whom are several
Sirdars ; but Wuzzeer Khan, hearing the report of guns fired at
Ooch, about half an hour before we reached Shahpoor, had instantly
mounted his horse and escaped. I believe not a man left the vii.
lags after our arrival, although a tremendous dust storm which arose
Just as we reached the place, rendered it very difficult to watch the
place properly.
The fire frora the village killed a duffcdar, two sowars, and three
horses, and wounded three sowara and five horses. All my men
behaved well in this affair, and I request that you will particularly
bring to notice the excellent conduct of my second in command,
Lieut. G. Malcolm, from whom I received the most able support
and assistance ; of Resseldar Major Sir Feraz Khan, and Resseldar
Meer Furzund Ali ; the last-named officer commanded the troop
which I led into the village on foot.
The Police Resseldar Alif Khan accompanied me from Larkanah,
and his services were most valuable to me on this occasion, as well
as during the whole march.
I must not omit to mention Assistant.Susgeon Pay, who accom.
panied me while I was surrounding the village, and attended the
wounded men the instant they fell.

IRELAND.
BEPEAL ASSOCIATION.

I:lmam Msy 19.—The weekly meeting of the Association was
held this day in the Conciliation Hall, R. D. Browne, Esq., M.P.,
in the Chair.

The Secretary having read the minutes of the last day's pro-
ceedings.

Mr,O'Connzu. said, that before commencing the business of
the day, he wished to draw the attention of the Association to a
circumstance which occurred on the last day of meeting. Whilst he
(Mr O'Connell) was engaged in announcing the receipt of va.
rious remittances, a letter was handed to him, accompanied by a
piece of music, with a request that he would read the letter to
the meeting, and present the music to the Association. Act-
ing in this case on the principles which he always
adopted—namely, never giving publicity to any document without
first having considered it in private, and on that occasion he had
to congratulate himself for not deviating from his accustomed
caution. The letter which he referred to was totally inconsistent
with the principles of the Association, and highly dangerous in its
tendency, and the song which accompanied it was a war-song—a
fighting Song. Now so much was he opposed to the adop-
tion of physical force, that he would not consent to accept
of the repeal of the union at the expense of one drop of
human blood.—(Hear, hear.) It had been complained that
the Itvee which was to be held on the 30th of May was inter.
feting with the royal prerogative. There were no grounds for any
such complaint. The levee proposed to be held on the 30th inst.
was not a mark of respect to be paid to an individual, but to seven
of them, a beptarehy of kings of Brentford.—(Laughter.) The
Hon. and Learned Gentleman then recommended that an instruc-
tion should be issued to the repeal wardens of Naval, and Drog-
heda, directing them to prevent the distribution or circulation of
fur.
all placards, songs and documents, of every description;
ty
ther, to apprehend any person who should be heard u

sentiments of a seditious or disloyal character, and ban
him over to, the authorities.—(Hear.) With respect to
the Educ +Con Bill the Catholic bishops would assemble in
rynod on Wednesday for the purpose of Consilering the qutastif n,
and, as he had previously stated, he would abide by that decision.
But there was a portion of the Bill which claimed their especial
attention—he alluded to the 10th clause, which vested in the
Crown the government of the colleges, and the viMtorial power,
! and the 14th section, which had reference to the delivery of re.
ligious instruction. On that day he would move that the two
clatitses he had adverted to be referred to the Committee of
the Association for consideration. He had to give notice of
motion for the next day of meeting, having reference to
- the future conduct of the Association. During the last
year, they had not progressed as far towards the accomplish-
; went of the repeal as they ought to have done. A combination of,
circumstances had prever ted them. They were occupied with
the deplorable discussion on the Bequest Act, and then that on the
Maynooth Bill succeeded. Ho could not advert to the Maynooth
Bill without again bearing testimony to the admirable character of
that measure.—(Hear, bear, and cheers) On the next day of
meeting he wonld move first that the association should pledge it-
self to the extension of the repeal reading.room.; secondly
to discourage by every possible means the circulation at pub'
lic meetings of any kind of documents or language of an
inflammatory character ; thirdly, that an arrangement be entered
into for the effective registration of repeaters in every country town
and borough in Ireland; and fourthly, that means be taken by
which petitions from every county, town, village, and liainlet in
f tvour of a repeal of the union should be prepared. By the adop-
tion of the latter proposition they would be enabled-to have two
millions of signatures to petitions against the commencement of
the next session, and every day during its sitting from three
to five should .be presented. the Briti:!) Legislature slicnild
be kept constantly alive to the determination of the people of
Ireland never to desist till they attained the object for
which they were contending. He reg riled the Oregon question
as anything but settled, and believed the period might not be far
distant when they would be exposed to all the h.,rrors of a destruc-
tive war. If England enlisted the people of Ireland in her cause,
she might set America and ail the world at defiance, The covet.
iration. Of Ireland was now acknowledged by British statesmen to be
a principle, and he trusted they would carry it out with liberality.
A ner sore further business had been e isposcd of,
Mr. O'Covarcr announced the rent for the week to be 45/1.
9t. Ild.
Sir Simon Bradstreet, Bart., was then called to the chair, arid
the meeting artjouincd.

MEETING OF THE [OMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS.
This meeting, which is to take place on .Wednesdav next, in
the presbytery of the Roman Catholic cathedral, in Marlborough.
street, is looked to with d,ep interest, as the decision of the pre.
lates will have a very decided influence on the public rabid with
regard to the measure of academical education. The meeting has
peen convened by the Roman Catholic Primate (Dr. Trolly), who,
without waiting for a requisition, deemed it his duty to call the
bishops together at the earliest possible moment, to deliberate upon
the subject. It is stated that all the bishops will be in attendance,
v.:th the exception of two or three, whose state of health preludes
them from undertaking the journey to Dublin.

STOCK EXCHANGE.
There was no feature of the least interest in the market today.
Government securities remain tolerably steady, with, however, a
downward tendency, Three per Cent. Consols having clo,ed
lower than Saturday. Railway speculations appear to have received
a check, and purchases are made with more caution, the conse.
queues of which is that, for several days t ast, there was little or no
change in the price of shares. The following is from the official list :
