_ .
The object of this undertaking is to connect the port of Fal.
mouth with the Naval Station at Plymouth, and by the South
Devon and Bristol and Exeter Railways, with Bristol, where the
great lines of railway communication with the Metropolis, and the
North of England new meet, and thus to bring Falmouth, the most
Westernly Port in the Channel, within eleven hours of Loudon,
and fourteen hours of Liverpool and Manchester.

The works of the South Devon Railway from lixster to Ply
mouth, being now in rapid progress, with a view to completion in
two years, the time has arrived when it becomes essential to bring
forward the plan for a western extension in conjunction with the
Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, Bristol and Gloucester, and
South Devon Railway Companies.
The Provisional Committee having laid the plans and estimates
of construction, and the traffic case in detail, bcbre the Directors
of these Companies, they have agreed to unite in contributing
250,0001. to the capital of this Railway.
The Associated Companies having thus identified themselves
with this undertaking, the Cornwall Railway Company will have
the advantage, in its operations, of the adviee and assistance of
Members of their Boards, and the works will be carried on with
the approbation, and under the supervision, of the experienced and
talented officers of these Companies. _ . .

A large proportion of the leading landed Proprietors in th•
County, have given assurances of support in Land and Money—a
considerable local connexion has been formed, and a large cumber
of Shares have been taken up, and no opposition or difficulty is
anticipated in obtaining the Act. _ .

The neceasary steps have therefore been taken to bring a Bil'
before Parliament in the next Seaslon for constructing the Corn.
wall Railway. _ _

From the surveys that have been made by Captain Moorsom,
C.E., it appears that the line would pass through Torpoint, within
three quarters of a mile of St. •ermans, touching Llskeard, near
to Bodmin and Lostwithiel, through Par, and St. Austell, by St.
Stephens and Tresillian to Truro. From Truro the course of the
line would be towards Bissoe and Pollean Cross, to connect with
the grost Mining and Western districts of the County, and ftom
thence by Ponsnooth and Penryn to Falmouth.
The proposed line will pass through the richest and most
densely peopled Mining, Commercial, and Agricultural districts of
Cornwall. In the principal parts of these districts, the habits of
the people are peculiarly locomotive. A large and constant
passenger traffic already exists of a description which would be
immensely increased by the facilities of Railway communication.

The line will be connected on the north with the Wadebridgo
and Bodmin Railway, the Newquay Railway, and the Caradon
Railway, and on the south the Par and Pentewan Railways, and
the Loots and Liskeard Canal, from each of which a considerable
amount of valuable traffic will be brought upon the Cornwall Rail-
way, and the communication with the ports on the north and south
coast greatly facilitated.

The Eastern mining districts of Cornwall and Devon, around
Callington, Tavisteck, and Liskeard, are much connected with the
central and western Mines of St. Austell, Tywardreath, Gwen.
nap, Itedruth, Camborne, and Penzance, and between these popu-
lous and important districts a constant and Ineceasing intercourse
mists.

The completion of the Railway from Peneenee, which pasting
through the great western mining districts, will join the proposed
line of the Cornwall Railway between Truro and Falmouth, and for
which a Bill is to be brought before Parliament next Session, will
bring a great accession of traffic from those districts.
The Cornwall Railway will not only be in itself Important and
of great local advantage, but will in feet be the terminus of a
metropolitan trunk line, and also the terminus of a line from the
great manufacturing districts •f the Worth, so that the carriage
which leaves London in the Leaning, will be at Falmouth in the
Morning, after eleven hours' journey, and the Passengers from
Manchester or Liverpool, may arrive at Falmouth in fourteen hours.
It will also be the westernly link of the great chain of coast lines
now formed, or in progress, from Dover on the east, to Penzance
in the west, and will thus eventually receive the traffic of these
sources, flowing to and from our western possessions.
The well-known advantages and capabilities of the Port of Fal.
mouth and the opinions unequivocally expressed by the Commis.
eioners appointed by Government in 1840, to inquire iuto the com-
parative merits of the Ports then suggested by the Mail Packet
Station, " That if a Railroad existed to the South-West Laud's.
end, arid a harbour were constructed in that neighbourhood, where
the mails might with facility be put en board and landed, they
would unhesitatingly recommend that harbour to the adoption of
Government," make it evident that the construction of the pro-
posed Railway would render Falmouth the best Port in the kingdom
for the embarkation and landing of the hails for the West Indies,
the Peninsula, the Mediterranean, and all our transatlantic pos-
sessions.—That this Port will be largely used by passengers pro.
ceeding by these Packets, and also by passengers arriving from and
departing for our Foreign Possessions in sailing vessels, is evident
from the anxiety always felt by those who have endured a long sea
voyage to reach the shore, and from the desire which most persons
feel to avoid the delays and danger of the Channel navigation.
The reasons which now induce outward.bouod Indiamen to call at
Cowes or Portsmouth to embark their passengers, will apply with
greater force to a more Western Port, when a Railroad shall bring
that Port within eleven hours of the Metropolis.

The largely increasing number of vessels, which e►en under the
present mode of travelling, call, whether for passengers or orders,
at Falmouth, shows that expectations of traffic to a large extent,
may be well founded on these grounds; but in the calculations
now submitted, the Committee have confined themselves to the
usual increase upon the existing trade, which is alone sufficient
to show that this undertaking will prove a highly advantageous
investment.

The estimated expense of the line, Including the cost of land,
preliminary and Parliamentary expenses, stations, and working
stock, does' not exceed the sum of 900,0004 which Is to be
raised by 18,000 shares of 501. each.
The accompanying estimate of Traffic, deduced from very care-
ful observation made at twenty-three different stations on the
roads, shows the following result, via :

conveyancer X 56,576
Post-chaises, private carriages,

X 93,934
Estimated annual coat of working, 40 per cent. 37,584

This calculation, which shows a return of upwards of six per
cent. on the capital, is "lade upon principles allowed In proof
before Parliamentary Committees, but does not include the
carriage of any of the mineral produce of the County, or of
mining materials, or of manures other than sand; nor is any
credit taken for the large revenue which may be anticipated from
the prebable return of the Packet Establishment, and from the
certain increase of passengers who will embark and disembark
at Falmouth when they can avail themselves of the benefit of
Railway communication.
Cornwall possesses within itself great facilities; for the con.
struction and maintenance of Railways.
Its numerous Foundries from which Engines and other Ma-
chinery are forwarded to all parts of the World. the able Engi
;Jeers who are brought up within it, and the skill and enterprise
of its labouring population, will all conduce to the cheap and good
eonstruution of the line and works.

The Committee cannot but express their fullest confidence, that
the dense pepula..ion of this County, and its locomotive habits, its
rich and important mineral produce, the South-Western position,
unrivalled safety and capabilities •f its harbours, not exceeded by
any Ports in the Kingdom, its genial climate, possessing mildness
and uniformity not surpassed by the South of France, which has
long rendered it the resort of invalids, the early productions of
Its soil, and the anticipated restoration to Falmouth of the ricotta
Establishment, will all contribute to produce a satisfactory return
en the capital invested, and secure to Cornwall that pre-eml.
nence it has always till now enjoyed as the high road to the
Indian, Peninsular, and transatlantic portions of the World.
The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at
the rate of four per cent. per annum on the deposit, and on subse.
quent calls, from the time of payment into the Bankers' hands,
until the Railroad may be opened ter ; and no Subscriber
will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit of 11/.
per share until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the
amount et his subscription.
A deposit of 3/. per Share will be payable at the Bankers on the
allotment of the Shares, and the Subscribers' agreement and Par-
liamentary contract, must be signed on or before the 3lst day of
December next.

TO THE LIVERY OF THE CITY OF LONDON.
IT is a pleasing duty of the Committee of Alder-
man-2- Wood to express their warm and grateful thanks to
those Gentlemen of the Livery who attended at the Common Hall,
on Saturday last, and who, by a spontaneous show of hands, UN.
BOUGHT and UNINFLUENCED, placed the Alderman, by an
enormous majority, far above the other Candidates in rotation for
the office of Lord Mayor.
The Court of Aldermen know this, but they have again broken
down the system of rotation they have again rejected the nomi-
nation made by you, Gentlemen, who placed these civic legislators
in a position whereby they have assumed the right to sit in judg-
ment upon your recommendation, and contumeliously to reject it.
Thus a body of fourteen thousand are compelled to submit to the
caprice and spleen of eleven Individuals.

Such is the present state of things ; but the time has arrived
when measures, active, energetic, and firm, must be adopted to re-
store to the Livery the rights of which they have been dispos-
sessed, and to place the constituent body in a position by which
their annual election of Lord Mayor shall not be made, as it has
been of late, A COMPLETE FARCE.

The Committee assure their fellow-citizens that previously to
their taking up the case of Alderman Wood they had ascertained, to
the satisfaction of every unprejudiced mind, that the charges against
him were groundless and unfounded. Under this conviction, it is
the determination of .the Committee to persevere, and they ear.
nestly hope that they slaall have the continued co-operation and as.
sistance of the Livery and their fellow-citizens YEAR AFTER
YEAR, until the prejudice and petty feeling of those who are un-
mindful of their obligation to act without favour or affection,
prejudice or malice, shall yield to the irresistible force of public
opinion and of immutable justice.

MEDICAL REFORM.
THE DAY OF RETRIBUTION HAS ARRIVED.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stn,—Thank Heaven, the day of retribution has ar-
rived! The infamous persecution of Hygeista about ten
years ago by a set of paltry diplomaed and grossly ig-
norant country doctors, is now recoiling against the
whole profession with treble force. The infamous man-
ner in which these paltry doctors imposed upon con-
fiding juries (because they lost their patients) is now
made manifest to all persons. They are all sinking to-
gether, and though they obtained by hand a temporary
triumph, they have been the means of hastening the
grand question of medical reform by fifty years. Yes,
we shall now have the grand question fairly decided by
the voice of the people. They have found out that doc-
tors have made medicine a perfect trade, and they are
determined to be no longer imposed upon. Every per-
son throughout England must now see through the
whole business. The medical trade may he considered
at an end. We will have true physicians, not parties
who, by keeping the public in ignorance of the truth,
under the sanction of a piece of parchment, make a
trade of the miseries of the great human family! Joseph
Webb and Thomas La Mott, behold your persecutors
sinking into merited contempt! !

THE THEATRES.
DRURY-LANE.

Drury-lane Theatre opened last evening for the
winter season, with Balfe's chef d'ceurre, the Bohe-
mian. Girl, and a new grand ballet, in three acts, en-
titled The Corsair. The plot of the ballet is taken
from Lord Byron's poem, and the original has been
closely followed. The subject of the first act is
the parting of Conrad and Medora. At the
rising of the curtain, we find ourselves
amidst the wild romantic scenery of the Corsairs'
Island. A prize has been brought in and the Greeks
hold high festival. This festival gives occasion fur
the introduction of a very pretty divertissement, in
which Mademoiselle Auguste Delb s (pupil of Mon-
sieur Albert) made her debut on the English stage,
and a most successful debut it was. This young lady
promises to be, ere long, at the head of her profession ;
there is a neatness and precision about her
dancing, which prove that she has been
well taught, and in the rapidity of her
movements (her feet literally twinkle), and the
charming abandon of her manner, she reminded us
not unfrequently of Cerito. Her Tarentalla with
Delferier would have been quite worthy of the fasci-
nating Neapolitan herself. Add to this that Made-
moiselle Delbes is very young and very pretty, and
we think that we are not risking much in prophesying
that she will become a universal favourite. A Pas de
Deux by Montessu and Clara Webster, decidedly the
first of English dancers, was also introduced into this
divertissement, and was much and deservedly ap-
plauded ; and a new Polka by Mademoiselle
Delbes, Monsieur Delferier, and the corps de
ballet, concluded the divertissement. The act con-
cludes with the parting of Conrad and Medora. The
scene of the second act is laid in the Hall of " Seyd
of Pacha," where he holds
" A feast for promised triumphs yet to come,"
and this feast is made the occasion for another diver-
tissement, in which, after a very pretty danse d'Oda-
lisques by Mademoiselle Delbes and the corps de ballet,
Gulnare is introduced in the person of the majestic
Adele Dumilatre. We remember, when Adele Du-
milatre appeared at the Opera two seasons since,
she was not unfrequently reproached with
want of animation. Her Gulnare is certainly not
open to such reproach. It is the very Gulnare of the
poet. She looked, in the opening scene, the very
personification of haughty beauty. Her grand Pas de
Deux with M. Desplaces, which is introduced into
this scene, quite took the house by storm ; her tours
deforce in this pas was truly astonishing. They were
not merely tours de force, but tours de grace also ;
and as she bounded across the stage, seeming to float,
sylph-like in the air, she was greeted with the most
rapturous applause ever heard within the walls of a
theatre. The act concludes with the attack on the Pacha's

pardon of Conrad ; and here Adele Dumilatre
introduces her Pas de Seduction—a pas the most
fascinating that can possibly be imagined. The
Paella, however, is obdurate, and the ballet ends
by the murder of the Pacha by Gulnare, and the
destruction of his palace by the comrades of Conrad,
who arrive just as he is set at liberty by Gulnare,
the fate of poor Medora having been previously
shadowed forth to him in a dream. At the conclu-
sion, Adele Dumilatre was loudly called, and received
with all the honours. This ballet was most success-
ful ; indeed, it would have been surprising if it had
been otherwise, for it has in it every element of
success. The story illustrated is well known.
This is a most important feature towards securing
the success of a ballet, inasmuch as the audience un-
derstand it from the beginning, and an interest is
consequently at once awakened. The plot is well de-
veloped, the scenery is beautiful, the costumes are
magnificent, and the music is appropriate. Taken as
a whole, this is by far the best ballet that has yet
been produced at Drury-lane, and there cannot be a
doubt of its having a long run. The house was
crammed in every part. Previous to the commence-
ment of the opera, the National Anthem was sung by
the whole of the corps operati(ine, the solo parts being
sustained by Miss Romer, Miss Rainforth, and Mr.
W. Harrison.
