This line of railway will secure important advantages to the loca,
and commercial Interests of North Wales : it will bring into close
connexion the city and port of Bangor, and the town and port
of Carnarvon.
The line will thence proceed through the great mineral and slate dis-
tricts of Carnarvonshire, in the vicinity of 'Snowdon. Llanberis, Nevin,
Pwilheli, to Borth Dynllaen, in the same county, situated in its
chief agricultural district. The whole length of the line is twenty-
eight miles.

Porth Dynllaen is well known as a safe and commodious harbour,
possessing great natural advantages, and situated near the extremity
of one of the headlands bounding Carnarvon Bay, Holyhead forming
the other.

The harbour possesses great advantages, as a harbour of refuge,
over every other port on the coast of North Wales, as is proved by
the Custom-house books of the port, which show that no fewer than
3.315 vessels put in there for shelter during the years 1840, 1841,
1842, and 1843.

The commanding maritime importance of the situation will be evi-
dent, when it is considered that North Wales supplies nearly the
whole world with slate, and that this can be readily shipped
at Porth Dyullaen from all the principal quarries, including the
celebrated quarries of Penrhyn and Dinorwig, under circumstances
which will reduce the freights to all parts of the South of Ireland,
South Wales, and the South of England, including London and
Bristol, to one-half of their present amount. This is a fact unde-
niable, as not only will a reduction of almost sixty miles be effected
in the length of the voyage, but the dangerous bar of Carnarvon,
and the hazardous navigation of the Swillies within the Straits will
be avoided, and a variety of extra River dues saved.
The copper, lead, and other mines, and the valuable stone
quarries at the Rivals, recently opened by a Liverpool Company, con-
tiguous to the proposed line of Railway, will also have thrown open
for their produce this advantageous means of transit to the southern
markets, as well as an immediate railway conveyance to those ports
in direct communication with Liverpool, and consequently with
large foreign markets, as well as those of Scotland, and the northern
and midland counties of England.

The population of Bangor and Carnarvon comprised In the electoral
districts, together with that residing on either side and extremity in
the locality of the proposed line of Railway, amount to upwards of
40,000 persons. . .

The well-known scenery and antiquities of North Wales have long
been objects of progressively increasing interest to a very large num-
ber of tourists and visitors during the summer and autumn months ;
at which periods of the year live steam vessels per week run between
Liverpool and Bangor ; and it is on record, that in one year Bangor
was visited by 50,000 persons.
Upon this part of the subject it is important to notice that the
southern terminus of the line will be directly opposite to the port of
Wicklow, whereby travellers will reach in the most direct manner
the celebrated scenery of the county of Wicklow, while on this side
this Railway will facilitate immediate access to the romantic districts
of Bethgellert, Tremadoc, Llanberis, and Snowdon.
There are now five public means of conveyance passing daily be-
tween,Bangor,Carnarvon, Llanberis,Nevin, and I'wllheli,and vice versa,
carrying on an average six passengers each way, which will produce
iii a year 17,280 persons. There are kept for the purpose of hire, at
Bangor, the Menai Bridge, Carnarvon, and other places adjacent
to the line, 100 vehicles for public accommodation, which may be
fairly computed to convey three passengers per day for seven months
of the year, going from and returning to places which the line will
command, thus amounting to 100,800 persons. _ .

Of the population adjoining the line of Railway before stated,
amounting to 40,000, it may be fairly estimated that those travel
daily on foot, and in their own means of conveyance, exclusive of
any additional allowance for market and fair days, will supply a daily
source of traffic equal to 60 persons ; and calculating that they will
return, they will amount in the year to 34,560 persons.

.
There are two turnpike-gates between Bangor and Carnarvon, the
tolls of which for single horse vehicles are ls., being at the rate of
lid. per mile. These gates were let last year, exclusive of the cost of
collection, for 5211. per annum.
There are held in different parts of Carnarvonshire, adjacent to this
Line, more than forty fairs in the course of the year. The cattle,
sheep, and pigs, collected at these fairs are now driven to different
parts of England, and form the great export of North Wales ; and it
is but reasonable to suppose that when a Railway communication
shall be established, th st mode of conveyance will be preferred.
It was said by Sir Robert Peel, on his introduction of the tariff, that
the importation of cattle from Ireland increased, in twenty years,
from 17,000 head into all the English ports, to 100,000 head, into
Liverpool alone. fhe extensive chain of Railways now forming in
Ireland, and the completion of the proposed lines of Railway between
Kingstown and Wicklow, and Waterford and Wicklow, will cause the
Irish cattle traffic, which at present enters England by Liverpool and
Bristol, to be concentrated on Forth Dynllaen, the sea voyage be-
tween Wicklow and Forth Dynllaen being shorter, by five geographical
miles, than by any other ports in the English and Irish Channels ;
and shorter, by one-half, than between those ports which now enjoy
the Irish cattle trade.

The course of this Line by the engineer's report and sections, is
exceedingly favourable, both as respects gradients and the inexpensive
character of the works. The cost of the Railway, and of the pro-
posed improvement of the Harbour, does not exceed 300,000/.
The Plans, Sections, and Books of reference have been duly de-
posited in the proper dwartments, and application will be made for au
Act in the present session of Parliament.
Arrangements have been made with responsible contractors to
complete the Railway within the engineer's estimates both as to
time and amount, and thus the sufficiency of the capital is placed
beyond a doubt.
In preparing the estimate of the returns to be expected, as shown
in the traffic table subjoined, the calculation has been based with
much care upon the most authentic accounts it was possible to
procure. The result is highly satisfactory, and the undertaking offers
an eligible field for investment, the clear profits being found equal to
upwards of twelve per cent. on the capital to be employed.

THE REV. DR. WOLFF.

Capt. Grover has received intelligence of Dr. Wolff to
.he 10th January, at which date he was at Erzerocm,
,odeavouring to recruit his strength for the journey over
the mountains to Trebizonde. At Tehran the Doctor
was received in the kindest manner by Col. Shiel, her
Aajesty's Envoy, who sent a Government golam to meet
him. He left Tehran in a tuckrawan (a sort of litter),
Ind by easy stages reached Tabris. Here the judicious
treatment of Dr. Cassolani enabled him, after some days'
-epose, to proceed by a similar conveyance towards
Erzeroom. On reaching the Turkish frontier, owing to
he immense accumulation of snow, he was obliged to
eroceed on horseback, and after great bodily suffering
he reached Erzeroom on the 4th January, exhausted.

As soon as her Majesty's Commissioner, the kind-
hearted Colonel Williams, R.A., heard of the Doctor's
►pproach, he rode as far as the last pass to meet him
Ind escorted him into the town.

Dr. Wolff is too ill to write to any one, and cannot
move from the sofa ; it is, however, hoped that the kind
attentions of Colonel Williams, which have been really
beyond all praise, will enable him to proceed in about a
fortnight to Trebizond.

A paragraph "having gone the round of the papers,'
,tating that Dr. Wolff never was in personal danger at
Bukhara, and that he could have left when he pleased;
tnd as such a statement was probably intended to
weaken the sympathy every Englishman must feel for
this noble-minded man, who exposed himself to such
horrible sufferings in attempting the release of two Bri-
tish Envoys. Captain Grover thinks it right to state
:hat Dr. Wolff was in the greatest danger during the
whole period of his stay at Bokhara; that guards were
filaced round his bed; and that he was indebted for his
escape to Mirzs Rouli Khan, the Persian Ambassador,
who refused to leave Bokhara without him.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Feb. 11.
(Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.)
WYNN C. IIEAVENGIIAM.
The question in this case related to certain ink lines, which
were drawn by way of obliteration, or attempt at obliteration,
across the name of three parties mentioned in a will. The
dispute related to a freehold estate, and the question was,
whether these ink lines were made before the testatrix ex-
ecuted her will, or if they were drawn afterwards; whether
they were made, in the language of the statute of frauds, by
the testatrix herself, in her presence, or by her direction and
consent. With regard to the personal estate, the - Ecclesi-
astical Court had decided that the names were not erased or
obliterated.

His HONOUR, after going minutely into the evidence, said,
from all the evidence before him, he was bound to come to a
decision consentaneous to that given by the Ecclesiastical
Court.

MONTRESOR V. MONTRESOR.
The questions involved in this case related to the will
codicils of Sir Henry Montresor ; this instrument was
evidently drawn up by Sir H. Montresor himself, informally,
and without professional assistance. With regard to the
first question, his Honour decided that the enjoyment of the
rents of the testator's real estate belonged to the wife and
children jointly, independent of the exercise of any dis-
cretionary power on the part of the trustees. The next
question was 'whether the ready money in the house, &c.,
went to his residuary legatee; he was of opinion that no
present or future interest, but that the income belonged to
the wife and children beneficially. With regard to the third
codicil, as to the use of the words, American stock and
Dutch funds, he held that they had a large meaning, and
must be taken to include stock in the British funds also.

• POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.
DESTRUCTION OF THE PORTLAND VASE.—The young man
named William Lloyd, who appeared before Mr. Jardine on Friday
evening, was again placed at the bar, for final examination, charged
with wilfully and maliciously destroying, with a stone, the
inimitable vase in the British Museum. The vase, which was
valued at 1,0001. and upwards, was described as being the property
of his Grace the Duke of Portland.

Sir Henry Ellis, the principal librarian, and several gentlemen
connected with the Museum were on the bench.
Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution.
The prisoner, on being placed at the bar, appeared perfectly
composed, and did not evince any symtoms of mental aberration.

Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, addressing him, said :IL W1;;;you
were last brought before the Court you refused to give your name;
do }ou now choose to give it or not ? Prisoner-1 do not wish to
give my name.

Mr. Burnaby, by the direction of the magistrate, then read over
the evidence given by Mr. Edward Hawkins, the keeper of the an-
tiquities in the Museum, at the former examination.

Mr. Bodkin asked the prisoner if he wished to say anything to
the charge preferred against him?

The prisoaer—l sincerely wish to say this, that I do not wish
to give my name, as it, might involve other parties in my disgrace.
Mr. Bodkin—Without making any mention of persons con-
nected with you, what have you to say to the charge of having
broken the vase ?

Prisoner—Only this, that I had been indulging in Intemperance
for several days, from the effects of which I was only partially
recovered when I entered the Museum ; and being consequently
in a nervous state of excitement, I was afraid of everything I met
with, and under such impression I acted in the manner I have done,
and for which I was then taken into custody ; but I did not commit
the act through any design or evil intention whatever towards any
person.

Mr. Bodkin said he had the honour to appear on behalf
of the trustees of the British Museum, upon whom the
painful duty devolved of prosecuting in this case on the part
of his Grace the Duke of Portland, who had kindly permitted
the property in question to be placed in the Museum, for
the inspection ansi gratification of the public. It was deemed ne-
cessary, since the last examination, that a medical gentleman should
wait on the prisoner for tho purpose of examining into the state of
his mind, and the report made left no doubt of the prisoner's sanity.
It was, therefore, with a view to protect property of this description,
and affording a public example, by punishing a person convicted of
such a flagrant act, that the present course was adopted. It was
much to be regretted that such was the defective state of the law
Olson such offences, that it was difficult to meet the present charge
by anything like an adequate punishment. However, it was pro-
vided by the 24th section of the Wilful Damage Act, " that if any
person shall unlawfully or maliciously commit any damage, injury,
or spoil, to or upon any real personal property whatever, either
of a public or a private nature, for which no remedy or punish-
ment was therein before provided, every person being convicted
thereof before a justice 'of the peace, should for,eit and pay
such amount of money, as Vold appear to the justice to be
reasonable compensation for the damage, injury, or spoil so corn-
mitted, not exceeding the stun of 51.;" and it would be for the
('ourt to consider whether such words referred to the full extent of
the property injured, or to the amount of fine which the justice
had the power to inflict for such offence. He submitted that,
whatever the intention of the Legislature might be, it clearly
referred to the power invested in the magistrate, sitic2 the small
amount might be more agreeable to the parties concerned than to
have an action b:ought fur the amount of the damage done, which
in this case would be no remedy. It was conceded that the inflic-
tion of such a fine was inadequate upon a subject that had de.
servedly caused such a general sensation, particularly as the public
was now admitted to such exhibitions without the least restraint.
As an instance of the defect of the law, he might refer to a case
brought before Mr. Maltby, at Marlborough-street, some time ago,
against a person for maliciously thrusting his stick through a
valuable picture in the National Gallery; and the case being
clearly made out, in the absence of any other mode of punishment,
the delinquent was tined in the penalty of 51., or three months'
imprisonment. He therefore trusted that the Court would adopt a
similar course, although the damage was irreparable, in a case
which was analogous, and put the law in force against the prisoner
to the full extent.

Mr. JARDINE, to the prisoner—You have heard what has been
stated; have you anything to say ? Prisoner—Whatever punish.
meta you feel it your duty to inflict upon me, I shall feel the con.
relation that it is really deserved.

Mr. JARDINE—Are any of your friends in attendance? Pri-
son er— Non e whatever.

Mr. JARDINE said he agreed with the Learned Counsel as to the
Inefficient provision made in the Act for such an offence; and as
he had great doubt that he had the power to adjudicate upon the
subject, he would take time to consider, and direct the prisoner to
he brought up on a future day.

Mr. Bodkin said, that as the Court had a doubt upon the subject,
he would relieve the Magistrate upon the point, for since the lad
examination it had been ascertained that the glass shade, with
which the vase was covered, belonged to the trustees, and was
valued at about 31., respecting which he would call a witness to
prove.

Mr. Hawkins proved that the shade, which was worth about
31., the fragments of which were lying on the floor, with the frag-
ments of the vase, was the property of the trustees of the Museum.
Mr. JAUDINE said that was the most perfect and legitimate
course for the trustees to pursue, and called upon the prisoner to
pay the amount of the glass shade, having wilfully and maliciously
de.troyecl it.

Prisoner—l assure you, Sir, it was not done maliciously.
Mr. JARDINE—In the eye of the law it was a malicious act
on your part, and I cannot help, in my humble capacity, observ-
ing with the Learned Counsel that the Act of Parliament pro.
viding for such offences is very inefficient, which prevents my en-
tertaining the case respecting the destruction of the vase against
you for the present; but for the destruction of the glass shade I
shall put the law in full force, and order you to pay the sum of
31. forthwith, and in default be committed to hard labour in the
House of Correction for two calendar months.
The prisoner was then removed from the bar.
