The first line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the
Loughborough station on the Midland Coanties line, and pro-
ceed through the Vale of Sheepshead, to Pegs Green Colliery,
near to the terminus of the Leicester and Swannington Rail-
way, and from thence through the coal fields of Swannington
and Cole-Orton to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It will thence proceed across
the Moira Coal Field and through the rich agricultural districts of
Seal, Clifton Campville, and Edingale to the Birmingham and Derby
Railway, which it will cross near to Elford Park Farm, and thence
traverse the valley of the Tame until it reaches Alrewas, where it
will form a junction with the branch of the Trent Valley ,ine now in
progress of making. At this point it also meets the proposed South
Staffordshize line, by which means it reaches Lichfield, and by means
of one of the proposed lines it will afford communication with Bir-
mingham.

Sty means of its junction with the Trent Valley line at Alrewas the
Grand Trunk reaches colwich, and there meets the proposed North
Trent
e 7 Vallet.sl
Stafford, thus
stattordshire line, which proceeds through the heart of the Potteries
to Newcastle-under-Line, Leek, and Macclesfield. By means also
c'efedthsethrsaomugeh A l r e was
completingthe Grand i
its
Trunkrut e parnod-
forming a connecting line between the Midland and Grand Junction
Railways. This braneh of the line was formerly surveyed by Mr.
Itastrick, and approved of by him as a canal communication, so that
no engineering difficulties exist.
The second line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the
Derby station, and taking the course of the Derby Canal proceed to
Chellaston, where there are extensive plaster-works, and thence
by Swarkestone to the river Trent, which it will cross near to
the ferry at Weston Cliffe, and procetd to Kings Newton
and Melbourne. From the latter place it will pass by the
village of Wilson to Breedon-on-the-Hill, where there are extensive
lime-works, and thence proceed by Staunton Harold, communicat-
ing by a branch line with the lead, lime, and coal works there ;
thence by the Lount Colliery to Worthington Rough, where it will
follow the line of the Cole-Orton and Swannington Railway until its
junction with the first line of the Grand Trunk at or near the Pegs-
green Colliery, and so proceed from thence to Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
At Ashby-de-la-Zouch the Grand Trunk forms a junction with the
proposed Nottingham and Birmingham, and with the proposed Great
Manchester, Rugby, and Southampton Railways. Its importance as
a line for passengers is too obvious for comment, forming as it does a
complete junction between those two griat thoroughfares, the Mid-
land and Grand Junction Railways, and by its branch from Derby to
Ashby-de-la-Zouch another complete junction between the Great
Northern and Southern lines now in progress, thus opening a direct
line of communication to all parts of the kingdom.
As a line for traffic, the Grand Trunk will form the most direct
transit to the Leicestershire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire iron and
coal fields, to the Burton breweries, to North and South Wales, and
Ireland to Scotland, and all parts of the north, and to the eastern,
southern, and western parts of the empire. It will also be the
nearest and most direct communication from the east to the north-
western manufacturing districts, as well as become the great route
from all parts of the kingdom to the midland counties of England.
The mineral resources are of the very highest order. The Moira
coal field Is inexhaustible, whilst the coal beds at Staunton Harold
&One comprise the finest quality of Kennel to a depth of seven feet,
with a super stratum of main coal to a depth of six feet. The sub-
stratum is yet to be worked. There are beds of Kennel and main
et)al at Cole Orton of equal quality, though net of equal depth with
those of Staunton Harold, whilst the main coal at Swannington is un-
rivalled, being, in fact, the bowl of the Leicestershire and Derbyshire
coal strata. It is needless to describe the beneficial results which
must arise from this opening of the midland coal district to the Lon-
don and southern markets.
At Staunton Harold and Calke exist rich veins of lead ore, now in
full course of working.
The properties of the Bre edon, Staunton Harold, and Ticknall lime
are so well known to agriculturists and others, that an extension of
traffic for so valuable a commodity into mare remote districts must
be of the utmost importance to the practical farmer.
In approaching the Trent, on leaving the lime district, the Grand
Trunk will fall in with most valuable quarries of millstone grit, ser-
viceable for paving and building purposes, and for which a ready
market would be found along the line. The country also abounds
in gypsum, of which immense quantities are used in Birming-
ham and elsewhere : these markets will thus become opened for the
quarries at Chillaston.
A new and extensive outlet will also be opened for the earthenware
of Wooden Box and Griesley Potteries.
Until the Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs will be under
the control of the Committee of Management, to whom power is
given to allot the shares and apply the funds of the Company in
payment of all proper expenses in the formation of the Company and
otherwise.
Power will be applied for in the Act, and In the meantime the
Committee of Management take power, to alter or extend the lines,
to make branch lines, to abandon any part of the line, to raise addi-
tional capital, and to enter into arrangements with any other Com-

South Wales, abounding in natural harbours and mineral pro-
ductions, and celebrated for the magnitude and excellence of its
manunctures, is justly esteemed, both in a naval and commercial
point of view, as one of the most important districts of Great
Britain.
Its connexion with London has become of such paramount im-
portance as to demand the most direct and perfect communication
that can possibly be established. This is the main object of the pro-
posed undertaking.
This Railway will proceed from London to Hungerford by the
Great Western Railway, there leaving that railway and running
almost in a straight line by Marlborough, Caine, and Chippenham,
where it will again join the Great Western Railway : thus giving to
the towns of Marlborough and Caine (which at present have no
railway) a direct communication with London ; and also with Bath,
Bristol, the South Western Counties of England and South Wales.
From Chippenham the line will pass near Chipping Sodbury,
and proceed to the Bristol and Gloucester Railway at Westerleigh
(about eight miles from Bristol), and by a junction with that rail-
way the direct line from London to Bristol will be completed.
From Westerleigh the line will be continued to the river Severn at
Aust, and be carried across that river by means of the fixed bridge of
the Bristol and Liverpool Junction Railway. On the Monmouth-
shire side of the river it will proceed for another half mile over the
river Wye, direct to, and terminate at, the South Wales Railway,
near to Hunger Pill. -This last half mile will of itself effect a saving
in distance between London and South Wales of about four miles.
By taking advantage, as far as possible, of existing railways, this
project will complete at once the most direct and best trunk-line
from London to Bath, Bristol, and the South-Western Coanties of
England ; but mere especially to Chepstow, Newport, Cardiff, Swan-
sea, Milford Haven, the whole of South Wales, and Ireland.
The following are the savings in distance effected by the proposed
line

Between London and Bath, via Hungerford, the pro-
posed line as far as Chippenham, and the Great
Western Railway . about 7 miles.
Between London and Bristol, via Hungerford, the
proposed line as far as Westerleigh, and the Bristol
and Gloucester Railway. ... about 8 Miles.
Between London and the whole of South Wales, via
the Great Western Railway, the proposed tunnel
under the Severn at Hock Crib, and the South
Wales Itailviay to Hunger Pill.. •
Between London and the whole of South Wale,,, via
the Great Western, and the Bristol and Liverpool
Junction Railways •• .
These great savings in distance are by no means the principal
features of the undertaking. By this direct communication between
London and Bristol the Box tunnel will be entirely avoided, an irn-
;portant fact which will no doubt have a most powerful effect with
passengers.
Moreover passengers to and Prom South Wales will be enabled to
travel at all times by means of the fixed bridge over the Severn at
the Aust or Old Passage; thus avoiding on the one hand the well-
knowndangers,lnconvenienees, delays, and difficulties of the open
,ferry of two miles and a half, at the New Passage, proposed by the
Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway Company; and, on the
other hand, the tunnel of about a mile under the Severn, proposed by
the South Wales Railway Company, which (even if capable of con-
struction) must ever leave the public apprehensive of accident.
Reference to a Map will clearly demonstrate that the great stream
of passengers and traffic between London, Bristol, the South-Western
Counties and Ireland will flow through the proposed line and South
Wales to Milford Haven and Flshguard Harbour. The establishment
'of Valentia, as the chief out-port to the Canadas and the United
States; will moreover create a traffic, via South Wales, never hitherto
contemplated. . But supposing Valentia should not become that out-
port, there can be no doubt that Milford Haven, from its extreme
western position and natural advantages, must.
Independently of the passenger traffic above referred to, the faci-
lities which the line will afford to the unequalled iron works of
South Wales, and the extensive copper and tin works of Swanseaand
Neath must induce the manufacturer to transmit his goods with
safety,.economy, and rapidity, by rail, rather than with hazard and
delay by sea.
A new and most important market will be opened to the owners
of collieries in' South Wales. Newport will be brought within 129
miles of London ; and it may be confidently asserted that the Metro-
polis will draw an immense supply of coal from that neighbourhood,
inasmuch as coal of most excellent quality can be delivered ill Lon-
don from the Welsh Collieries at about 15s. per ton.
The principal advantages of direct railway communication between
important termini are now too universally admitted both by PUHA-
mutt and the public, to need argument. Many important direct lines
have been already nivourably received ; .but when the savings in distance
—the avoidance of a ferry and tunnels—the new channels for traffic—
the giving of railway accommodation to a large district—and the

WEST INDIES.

The royal mail steamer Severn, Captain Vincent, arrived at South
ampton from the West Indies yesterday morning. She brings the
usual dates, namely, from St. Jago de Cuba, 10th of August ; Jamaica,
23d ; Ilayti, 25th ; Puerto Rico, 27th ; and from to windward.
Demerara, 19th ; Barbadoes, 24th, with successive dates down the
islands until she left St. Thomas's on the 30th of August.
This steamer brings about GO tons of cargo, consisting of coffee,
ginger, sarsaparilla, pimento, arrowroot, vegetable ivory, 69 ounces
of gold dust, and some bullion, and several passengers,
The weather in Jamaica had been excessively dry and hot, the ther-
mometer reaching at times 95 degrees in the shade. Kingston was
somewhat unhealthy, fever and considerable Influenza having
shown itself; rain, however, had fallen and continued for several days
after the steamer left. The revels of the Ist of August had not quite
passed off, but it is remarked that each successive year they become
shorter and more subdued ( a satisfactory omen to planters), as it
sends them sooner to work.

The failure of a considerable mercantile house, for 150,0001., at St.
Jago de Cuba, has left the English mining speculators of that place
minus 25,0001. The assets of the house, it is believed, will not realise
more than 25 per cent., and the property has further diminished by
passing through a Spanish court of law. Between 2,000 and 3,000
tons of British shipping were loading and waiting for copper ore:

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GREENWICH.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE.—Yesterday the of the late Steven-
son Seavers, Esq., in the Blackheath-road, attracted a great number
of persons, in consequence of a warrant having been placed In the hands
of the police, to make a forcible entrance into the premises for arrears
of assessed taxes. Every means had been resorted to to evade pay-
ment and prevent an ingress by the widow and daughter of deceased,
who kept several persons on the premises to resist the enforcement
of the law. The interior of the house had been barricaded with the
strongest timbers and iron fastenings, so as to defy ordinary means of
attack. At twelve o'clock, however, Edward Legh, Esq., Chairman.
and John Sutton, Esq., one of the Commissioners of Taxes, accompa-
nied by Messrs. Smith and Flinch, clerks to the Board, Frederick
George Hammond, Esq., late a county magistrate, and landlord of the
house, headed Man inspector of police, three sergeants, and a posse of
constables, proceeded to the gate, rang the bell, and knocked ; receiving
no answer, a wheelwright named Mack stepped forward with a sledge
hammer, and !commenced the work of destruction by smashing ii
the panels of the doors, which were strongly lined with iron plates.
At this memeut Mrs. Seavers put her head out of an upper window,
rang a bell, and asked the police what they wanted. If it was the
taxes, she was ready to pay. Ingress having been effected, the land-
lord tbllowed, and found the house divested of nearly the whole of the
tbrniture which he had let with the premises for a term ofthree years.
Mrs. Seavers, her daughter, and two men, who had offered resist-
ance to the law, were then taken into custody, and conveyed before
the magistrate at the Police-court.

Mrs.Seavers and her daughter were first placed at the bar, charged
sit the instance of 31r. Hammond with feloniously removing a large
quantity of furniture, &c., from the premises.
The prisoners, who gave their names Catherine and Maria Seaters,
were dressed in deep mourning.
• Frederick Geo. Hammond, Esq., of Notley Park, Kent, deposed
that he let the house and furniture to Mr. Seavers for a term of years.
He had taken every legal means to get payment of his rent, and had
long suspected the house had been despoiled of the furniture. He
found•on entering with the tax-collector that not only ihrniture and
music had been clandestinely removed, but four coppers had been
pulled down. The property removed consisted of furniture, a guitar,
rugs, curtains, decanters, carpets, a variety of ornaments, &c. The
police had found 91 duplicates hidden in the garden by the younger
prisoner, which he had no doubt related to most of the missing
articles.

John White, 181 R, deposed that he found a red bag buried under
some loOse earth adjoining the summer-house, which he could call a
witness to prove had been placed there by Miss Seavers, after pos-
session had been obtained ; it contained 91 duplicates for all kinds of
property, pledged at various pawnbrokers, in the name of Thomson.
Sergeant Fenn, 31 R, deposed that he apprehended Miss Seavers,
who denied all knowledge of the bag_ and duplicates, or of the pro-
perty missing.
Sergeant Booth, 21 R, deposed that he took Mrs. Soarers Into cur-

levy for rent. The male prisoners resisted violently, assisted by
others not In custody, and he was forced into the road. Collins used
