line of railway, from Bristol and Bath to Dover; and thus, in effect,
unite, connect, or reciprocate with, all the existing. and projected
lines of railway in the south and south.west and west of England, as
well also as form a complete communication with Ireland and all
the western and Welsh railways, and most of those in the northern
and great manufacturing districts, by which passengers and goods
to and from Folkestone and Dover, France and Belgium, may
be conveyed without the necessity of passing through the me-

advantages which cannot fail to recommend this project to
public favour and support. It is calculated that the tragic in
minerals alone will yield a lucrative return to the Shareholders;
while the extraordinary increase of travelling which every ad-
ditional facility creates, and the surprising influx of trade which
every new railway brings to the district through which it passes,
adding largely to the profits of the undertaking, render it pro-
bable that the advantages which will actually be realised by this
project will exceed the most sanguine expectations of its pro-
moters.

Applications for Shares may be made, in the subjoined form,
to the Solicitors ; and also to Messrs, Ridsdale, Myers, and Bailey,

FLOODS IN THE NORTH.

NEWCASTLE•ON-TYNE, SATURDAY.--A great quan-
tity of rain has fallen in this district within the last
few days, which has swollen the rivers, and done
considerable damage to property in their margins.
On Thursday the rain descended in torrents all day,
and yesterday the Tyne, at high water in the afternoon
overflowed its banks for several miles, covering all the
low grounds near Hexham arid Newburn,,carrying away
the corn produce of several fields in stook, and doine-
serious injury to the potatoe and turnip crops. The
quay at Newcastle was covered with 'rater, and the
cellars in the neighbourhood completely inundated.
During the ebb tide the current was su strong as to
carry away several •essels from their moorrings, and the
damage done among the shipping in the harbour was
very extensive. The Ocean brig was driven on the Herd
Sands, and the sea is breaking over her in such a manner
that it is feared sbe will become a totvel wreck. The
David, of Yarmouth, had her mainmast carried away,
and the Dover steamer lost her foremast. The mate of the
Atlantic, of Shields, was killed by the breeds ing of a warp,
and the Blossom steamer was driven against the Brig John
with such violence as to stave in her quartette, and she was
oely kept from sinking with the greatest difficulty, her
funnel being also carried away. It is impossible at present
to enumerate the casualties that have occur red, as the ex-
tent of damage is not yet fully ascertained. 'The har
bour was a complete scene of confusion from the vessels
adrift ; several wherries were sunk, and indeed it was
impossible fir a small boat "to live." 'lle police boat
had a narrow esc ,pe, having just got oat, between two
vessels, when they were driven together with great vio-
lence. A great number of bowsprits have been broken,
and an immense pile of broken warps has been collected
in Young's dockyard by the police, who are protecting it
till claimed by the owners.
The ebb-tide to-day has brought down large quanti-
ties of hay and corn, a cow, several sheer, and a horse,
and from these indications, it is apprehended the da-
mage done in the wed, of which only very partial
accounts have been received hers, is very great.
The Blaydon station of the Newcastle and Carlisle
Railway was knee-deep in water ; and the line for
several miles was covered.

The garden grounds about Ilexhana are still under
water, and it is feared that tho entire potato crop in
those places will be destroyed.

HANLEY, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FOUR O'CLOCK.—This
afternoon a crowded meeting of the landed proprietors, ma-
nufacturers, and merchants of the Staffordshire Potteries was
held in the Town-hall, Hanley, to receive a deputation from
the Loudon Committee of Management. The deputation,

panied by Mr. It. C. Yarborough, of Lincoln's Inn-fiehls,

rounding country.

STATE OF GILTSPUR-STREET PRISON.

Alderman SIDNEY, after a speech in which he de-
scribed Giltspur•street Prison to be excessively crowded,
and the prisoners to be in a scandalous state of insubor-
dination, in consequence, he alleged, of the negligence or
incapacity of the City magistracy, moved that the pre-
sent overcrowded state of the house of correction in
Giltspur-street—the want of classification and proper
separation of the prisoners—be taken into consideration,
with the view of applying an early remiedy.
Alderman WILSON repelled the charge against the
City magistrates, and said that Alderman Sidney could
not be aware of the very excellent itaprovements in pro-
gress in Giltspur-street Prison when he spoke of the
miserable arrangements. He also contended that, with
the exception of a few profligate persons, the whole of
the inmates were in a complete state of subordination.
Alderman WOOD and Alderman I.,troAs also denied
that blame lay at the doors of the raagietrates, and that
there were any evidences of insubordination except in
three or four instances, which were by no means to be
wondered at, as there were collected in the prison mul-
titudes of the most abandoned characters to be foUnd in
the metropolis.
There was no opposition at all made to the motion of
Alderman Sidney.—The Court then aiijourned.

the subject of railway communication.

men present we observed L. Bruges, Esq., M.P. for the

Dundas, M.P.; the Rev. Sir Erasmus Williams, &c.

The fUllowing lines, nine in number, were represented at
he meet ii2g _

moted by the Kennet and Avon Canal Company, represented
by a deputation headed by Admiral J. W. Deans Dundas,

This line of railway has met with general approbation, and its lin-
portance cannot be questioned, traversing, as it will, a loCality totally
excluded from the benefit of railway communication, thom.li. It may
be said, one continuous town, for a distance of ten mules, amid a
densely-popubited neighbourhood, the property around which is open,
flat, and of a highly favourable character for the construction of a
line of railway.

In addition to the advantage of a direct communication between
the two royal residences at London and Windsor, avoiding the de-
lay and inconvenience of three different conveyances, and reducing
the time requisite for the entire journey to thirty minutes, the pro-
posed line will afford to Barnes, Kew, Isleworth, Bagshot,
Ascot,
Sunning-hill, and Egliam, all abounding with elegant villas and a
wealthy population, an easy access to London, and form the main
trunk for a direct communication to Exeter, Falmouth, and the
whole of the south-west of England. It will also afford a facility
to reach Hungerford-bridge on the south side of the River by the
Richmond Railway, Isy means of a branch from Hounslow to Rich-
mond.

The Committee have much pleasure in adding that the surveys are
made, the deposits have been duly paid, and the parliamentary con-
tract is signed and completed.
