WESTERN JAMAICA (connecting)
RAILWAY.—ALTERATION OF LINE.
Since the issuing of the prospectus of this undertaking, another
Company having been formed to construct a railway from Kingston,
across the island to Port Maria, the Directors of the Western Ja-
maica Railway, after mature consideration, have decided that it will
s, Dry Harbour, Rio Bueno,
be of the utmost benefit to their Shareholders to take advantage of
the opportunity thus offered to carry this line along the northern side
Dry
Savannah la Mar, with
of the Island, Instead of the southern, as at first proposed. They
have, therefore, resolved on commencing their railroad at Port
t oultimateAnn'ly
collateral branches of a single line (wherever practicable) into the in-
terior of the parishes of St. Mary, St. Ann, Trelawny, and St. James.
It will thus be seen that the Company will effect their original in-
Falmouth, Maria, and
Montegoproceeding
Say,
at
yh nacned
in-
tention of connecting Montego' Bay and Savanna la Mar with the
city of Kingston, and Spanish Town, the metropolis, at a considerably
less expense, and by a less circuitous route.
The Committee have the pleasure to announce that Mr. William
Smith, the projector of the Jamaica Railway, from Spanish Town to
Kingston, having been consulted on this alteration, so highly ap-
proved of the same as to consent to be appointed the Company's
agent in Jamaica, whither he proceeded by the last packet, in order
to be present at the opening of his line, on the Ist of October next.
It may be necessary to state that the deeds of the Company em-
power the Committee to make this alteration in their projected line,
which, in future, will be called " The Western Jamaica Railway"
only (the word "connecting" being omitted), and they beg to add
that a new Prospectus will be shortly published, with the addition of
several influential names to the Direction. By order,
WILLIAM MORGAN, Secretary.

ORANGE PROCESSIONS.

Colonel VERNER wished to ask the Right. Hon.
Baronet at the head of the Government if it was true
that Mr. Watson, a magistrate, and Deputy-Lieutenant
of the County Down, had been deprived of his commis-
sion for taking part in art Orange procession in that
county

Sir R. PEEL said it was perfectly true that Mr. Watson
had been dismissed from the commission of the peace,
and also from the office of deputy lieutenant. In 1837 an
address from Ireland, numerously and respectably signed,
had been laid betore the late King, praying that steps
would be taken to discourage and put an end to Orange
processions. In answer to that the King returned an
answer that every measure would be taken to carry out
the desirable object sought by that address. Having
been informed that the gentleman referred to had not
only walked in an Orange procession, but signed reso-
lutions agreed to at an Orange meeting, which resolu-
tions were unconstitutional and highly improper, the
Government considered it their duty, in consideration of
the previous assurance of the Sovereign, to discharge
Mr. Watson from the official appointments he then
held.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear," and cheers.)

(Provisionally Registered.)

The Committee of Direction think proper to announce that the
ALLOTMENT will be CONCLUDED on MoNDAY, and LETTERS
ISSUED on TUESDAY NEXT, August 12.
They regret much the necessity they have been under of consider-
ably reducing the numbers of Shares applied for in many instances,
and of passing over altogether the names of many late applicants
of acknowledged respectability. The immei,e number of applica-
tions (five times the number of Shares placed at their disposal) has
rendered such a course unavoidable.

As the Committee have acted on the same principle in allotting to
themselves, to their Friends, and the Fablie, they trust that their
explanation will be accepted by those to whom no Letters of Allot-
ment can be sent. By order,

to the towns and districts lying between the London and Birming-
ham, and the Great Western Railways, giving them the best means
of access to the metropolis, and connecting them also with the
Northern and Eastern lines of railway, as well as with Oxford and
the South.
The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham
Railway, near Harrow, and passine to the north of Uxbridge, will
proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham to
Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury ; from which
place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and

Birmingham Railway Company ; under a lease, in perpetuity, at
four per cent. per aunum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange-
ment as to the surplus profits.

THE SPLENDID WOODS OF BLEAN

(of which this property includes four acres), to protect the villa
from the wintry winds—the Kitchen Gardens are well planned,
and the supply of fruit and vegetables most abundant.
Dispersedly placed, and in excellent taste, are to be seen about the
grounds everything that ingenuity and art combined could effect.
In one spot is a grotto. Contiguous to it
THE ORNAMENTAL WATERS,
WITH THREE VESSELS IN FULL SAIL,
of solid copper, and wire rigging, and a jet d'eau which Mr.
Robins will not dishonour by a comparison with the
"NONENTITIES AT TRAFALGAR-SQUARE."
On another spot is a second grotto, which, by means of no ordi-
nary ingenuity, represents a perpetual telegraph and windmill,
which never cease their pleasing vocation. It has consumed 700
feet of iron pipe to accomplish this.
THE EDDYSTONE LIGHT-HOUSE
adorns the centre of the waters, in which exist myriads of gold avid
silver fish. In short, neither words nor painting can do it adequate
justice: we know of nothing comparable with the scene, so as to
give it that vivid colouring by which those who have not had
ocular demonstration, may recognise its wild phenomena. And
now the composer feels that he must compassionate with his
readers, and arrive at a conclusion.

ADVERTISEMENT.]—GENERAL JOSE GONZALVES
CURED OF A BAD LEG EY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINT-
MENT.—The General some time ago received a gun-shot
wound in the leg, which, from neglect and fatigue, assumed an
alarming appearance, there being a sudden outburst of several
ulcers, and, for a time, mortificat ion was seriously apprehended •
in this alarming state the amputation of the limb was deemed
as absolutely necessary. The General, however, unwilling to
sacrifice his leg, dismissed his doctors, and set about using
nothing else but Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and with
these celebrated remedies he perfectly cured himself in five
weeks, and was able to leave London last week for the Con-
tinent. To be had of every medicine vendor, and at the
establishment of the proprietor, 244, Strand, London.

'DITOR OF II E.: SUN

Slit,—l am a constant reader; of your very valuable paper,
which 1 prefer to all other London papers, and beg to direct
your atter...i.o., I think, you could do
great justice. sk watt At stair:tier given to Sir Henry Potting!,
in London, in the latter part of his speech, be said, " That to
respect to the introduction of missionaries into China, there
ought to be great caution used, as the Chinese were a suspi-
cious people, and it would be most impolitic to do anything
that would do away with the friendly feelang so fortunately sub-
sisting between us." In corroboration of the soundness and
propriety of tali opinion of Sir Henry Pettinger, I beg leave to
give you the Duke of Wellington's opinion en the same subject
as to our East India possessions, from his speech in the House
of Lords, Aug. 14, 1638 ,—he said, " He had seen the mission-
aries at work in India, and hit witnessed the little or no pro'
greys they made, while, at the same time, they created a very
considerable degree of jealousy." I hope, Mr. Editor, that yo°
will pardon the liberty I have taken, but I have such a sin-
cere wish to see Great Britain at peace with all nations, mere
particularly so when O'Connell and the repeaters are s°
anxious to tee her brought into difficulties, that they may the
more easily carry out their designs.

WISBECIT-FRIDAY.

A meeting was held here to-day, in pursuance of a requi-
sition numerously signed, as fellows :
PUBLIC MEETING.

"TO JOHN WHITSED, M. 11,, ESQ., MAYOR OF WISBECH.
" We, the undersigned, request you will call a public meet-
ing at- an early day, to determine upon the most advisable
measures to be taken for securing railway communication be-
tween the town and port of Wisbech and the metropolis and
the manufacturing counties.

"Wisbech, July 30."
" In compliance with the foregoing requisition, I do hereby
convene a meeting of the inhabitants of the town and neigh-
bourhood of Wisbech, to be held at the Town Hall, in Wis-
bech, on Friday, the Bth day of August next, at eleven o'clock
in the forenoon, for the purpose of the requisition.
" The chair to be taken at twelve o'clock precisely.
" J. WHITSED, Mayor.

"Wisbech, July 31st, 1845."
The meeting was so numerous that an adjournment to a
larger space was unavoidable, and the meeting was concluded
at the Sessions-house. Such a meeting has never before been
held in Wisbech. Resolutions in favour of a railway were
unanimously adopted, and a committee appointed to carry out
the object of the meeting. A line of railway will now cer-
tainly be carried, and the people of Wisbech are determined
not to be any longer at the mercy of great rival companies, but
to have a substantial benefit, instead of the hopes hitherto held
out only to delude them.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT LAST IV EEK.—As a chaise-
cart, containing a man and his wife and two children, was
passing down the Mile-end-road, an omnibus coming by at
the time upset the cart, and hurt the persons who were in it
very much. The doors of the Jews' Hospital, called Beth
Holim, were most readily thrown open to the sufferers. The
poor man and his Wife were, at their own
hadreq sustained very
severe injuries, were at once taken up into the wards, where
they received every attention from the medical attendant of the
institution, Dr. Snow, and front all the officers of the establish-
ment, where they have been sedulously attended to ever since.
It will thus be seen that the Beth Holim Hospital, although
intended for the reception of sick Jews, is most willing to
render assistance, in cases of emergency, to persons of all
denominations, which reflects the highest credit on the liberality
and humanity of the establishment;
We have much pleasure in calling the attention of
the public to the subscription recently opened for the purpose
of acknowledging, by some pecuniary reward, the services
which Lieut. Waghorn has rendered to the British empire,
by being the first to establish a regular overland communication
with India. When it is remembered that before this zealous
and enterprising gentleman devoted his energies to the subject,
no part of India could be reached in less than four months, and
that the mails trom Bombay now arrive in London in about
thirtyelour days, we feel sure that the appeal now made in his
favour will be liberally responded to by all classes of society.--

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS DAY.)

PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT
BY HER MAJESTY.

This being the day fixed upon for the prorogation of
the Imperial Parliament by her Majesty in person, con-
siderable bustle and excitement were manifested in the
neighbourhood of St. Stephen's and along the route
usually taken by the royal procession, from an early
hour. At all points from which a view of her Majesty
could be obtained scaffolding and platforms were in
the course of erection, for the purpose of accom-
modating those liege subjects anxious to obtain
a glimpse of the imposing pageant of the Queen of the
Isles going in state to relieve herself and those who
have been engaged in the business of legislation, for a
season, from the more weighty and pressing cares of the
state. The morning bore a threatening aspect, but by
mid-day the sky cleared up, and fortunately continued
so during the whole progress of the royal pro-
cession. About one o'clock a strong party of the
Metropolitan Police arrived on the ground and formed
themselves at regular distances on each side of the space
along which the royal co, t,,ye was to pass from Bucking.
ham Palace to the entrance of the House of Lords. Im-
mediately after the horse and foot guards took up their
respective positions. Exactly at half-past one the Queen,
with her usual punctuality, left the palace in the state car-
riage. Prince Albert sat en the same side of the carriage
as her Majesty, dressed in a Field-Marshal's uniform, and
opposite were seated the Duchess of Buccicuch, the
Mistress of the Robes, and the Earl of Jersey, the
Master of the Horse. During the whole progress
of the royal procession, from the palace to
St. Stephen's, her Majesty, who looked exceed-
ingly well, and seemed in excellent spirits, was
cheered by the immense assemblage with heartiness
and cordiality—tokens of good feeling and respect
which she acknowledged in the most condescending
manner. We have seldom seen a larger concourse of
people assembled on such an occasion, or one
whose conduct was more deserving of praise ; for
during the whole proceedings, though we traversed the
entire route of the procession, we did not witness a single
act of rudeness, or hear one unseemly observation. The
ladies, as is usual on such occasions, mustered strongly,
and were particularly marked for their anxiety to secure
a good view of her Majesty and all the " pomp and cir-
cumstance" by which she was surrounded. The royal
cottage reached the entrance to the House of Lords
at.ten minutes to two precisely, the fact of which was
announced to the assembled thousands by a discharge of

IRELAND TURNPIKES BILL,

A message wa-s brought down from the House of

Turnpikes Bill, and to the other Bills which had been
soot op from the Commons with some verbal amend-

ERP ET 1.3 Y FUND.
Mr. SHAW wished to know whether the Right Hon.
Baronet at the head of the Home Department would
,have .soy objection to lay on the table of the Tl,,use the
correspondence which took place between the &de-
86:deal Commissioners of Ireland and the Lord Lieu-
tehan',l.: respecting the Perpetuity Fund ?
Si' J; -GRAHAM, whose reply was very imperfectly
heard; was. en,derstood to say that he had no objection.
NEW ZEALAND.
Mt. ABEL • SMITE" moved for the production of
,ho ow-respondence between. time Colonial-office and the
Zealand Comilany" He-could not forgettliar, after
what.hail occurred; a •Slight :sacifice on both sides was
Avzessary. - Ile considered the Pix alti the tamper just

displayed at the Colonial-office was more creditable to
the Government than the negotiators themselves. There
was just one point to which he wished to allude before
he sat down. He meant the application made by the
New Zealand Company for a loan of money on the
security of their land. He thought that the money
should be granted on public grounds alone, and that no
longer delay would take place than was absolutely
necessary

Sir R.PEEL did not think it would be necessary for
him to give any assurance on the subject. Whatever
differences might have existed between the Government
and the New Zealand Company, the recollection of those
differences had not, in the slightest degree, influenced the
conduct of the Government. They had acted from a
sense of public duty, and what had been done, he must
say, had met with the entire concurrence of his Noble
Friend (Lord Stanley). The public interest had been
the only consideration by which they had been influenced,
and in the arrangement come to each party had occu-
pied perfectly independent grounds—there had been no
secret understanding. With respect to the future Go-
vernment of the colony he could give no assurance on
any point the fulfilment of which depended on Parlia-
ment ; but though he could give no assurance on the
matter, the non. Gentleman was, therefore, to draw no
unfavourable conclusion from that.—(llear.)
