surveys:—

" 4, Trafalgar-square, London, October 29, 1845.
" Sir,—l have the satisfaction of reporting to you, for the guidance
of the Board, that the progress made in the Parliamentary surveys
for the Midland Union Railway is such, that I am now able to assure
you that the whole of the necessary plans and sections will be com-

The Committee have also the pleasure of informing the applicants
for shares in this Company that the allotment is now completed, and
that the letters will be issued with the least possible delay. The
immense number of applicants, and their highly respectable cha-
racter, have made the duty of selection both arduous aid delicate;
and, therefore, gentlemen who do not receive letters of allotment
will be pleased to consider this as a sufficient apology for the omission.

That the public may not be misled by the various statements
that have appeared in the public papers, and in the pro-

desired to state, that at a general meeting held at New-
port on the 26th of June last, resolutions were carried,
declaring the opinion of the meeting to be adverse to the introduc-
tion of railways into the island, and that a Committee of gentlemen
was, at the same time, appointed to watch the proceedings of the
railway projectors ; and I am further directed by the Committee
to state, that not only will the scheme be opposed by the most influ-
ential landed proprietors through whose estates the railways would
pass, but that it is also intended to offer a vigorous public opposition
to the project in Parliament, should a Bill be sought for.

THIS EVENING

The Provisional Directors have the satisfaction of informing the
shareholders that, in addition to the beneficial arrangement effected
with the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway and Canal Company,
already announced, they have also brought to a satisfactory conclu-
sion the pending negotiation with the Committee of Management
of the Hull and Barnsley Junction Railway Company, whereby the
support and co-operation of that Company is secured to this line.
By such recent arrangement, the proposed lines of this undertaking,
and of the Hull and Barnsley Railway, are to form a junction together,
at or near the Midland Railway; by means whereof, and of the
several existing and other projected railways, when completed, it is
considered the original design of this undertaking, namely, that of
connecting Liverpool, Manchester, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Goole,
Great Grimsby, and Hull, with a communication to the metropolis,
from or near the Cudworth Station of the Midland Railway, by one
continuous and a more direct and shorter line of railway communi-
cation than at present exists, or is proposed by any other scheme now
before the public, will be accomplished, and that, too, at a saving, in
outlay, of more than one-third of the original proposed capital of the
Company.
Besides the advantages before offered to the public by this under-
taking, the recently declared intention of the Huddersfield and Man-
chester Railway and Canal Company, to extend their line to Brad-
ford, when carried into effect, enables this Company, by a short
branch of one mile (or thereabouts) in length, to connect together,
by railway communication, the two important manufacturing towns
of Barnsley and Bradford.

Will be performed THE BRIDE OF THE NILE, and The Lily
of Memphis and The Horse of the Pyramids, in which the whole
Company will appear.
To which will be added, an entire change of the Arena novelties,
embracing the united talents of the French and English Equestrians.

To conclude with THE LION KING.

minds and affections of the people. It is not by such courses
that her clergymen will accredit their own mission to the
laity at large as the meek and lowly-minded and pious
ministers of a religion of beneficence, purity, and peace. On
the present occasion, fortunately, we are not called on to de-
nounce any startling or revolting crime against the laws of
CrOD and of human institutions. But we have to animadvert
on a manifestation, in a beneficed clergyman of the Church
of England, of uncharitable, irritable spitefulness—such as
we cannot peruse without mingled emotions of astonishment
and contempt. On the 28th instant, at the Central Cri-
minal Court, a poor servant-girl, named ANN Crtarr (to
whose good character and moral deportment very respectable
testimony at the close of the trial was produced), was tried
on a charge of having robbed her master, the Reverend
FREDERICK Ram REEVE, incumbent of Mortlake, Surrey,
of sundry valuable articles—according to his own account—
sheets, towels, bits of carpets, &c. The case, as stated by
the Reverend Prosecutor, was of the most trumpery descrip-
tion that can be imagined. " The family," preceded by the
prisoner, who had been dispatched the day before to Brighton,
to get their house at that place ready, left town in August
last. The prisoner's luggage was packed in two boxes, the
larger one being removed with her, the smaller being con-
fided to the care of a neighbour. " The family" had in-
structed "the servants," a few days previously, to move in
light marching order ; that is, they were " to take only such
things of their own as were absolutely necessary." At
Brighton, the Reverend Mrs. REEVES (for, like JERROLD'S
Mrs. Caudle, this lady appears to he the Majok
Domo), taxed the girl CRAFT, in consequence of
some information, in such severe terms, that the
girl quitted her service, and went to reside for some
days at a neighbouring inn. The Reverend Gentleman
(whose spiritual activity in discharging the duties of his
incumbency we would fain hope is as untiring as his zealous
energy in the character of a travelling prosecutor), came up
to Mortlake—went to the custos of the poor girl's smaller
box (a Mrs. NERVE), asked for it, got possession of it, and,
with a more than Apostolic insensibility to his own fatigue,
returned with it to Brighton. There he called on CRAFT at
the inn ; and having caused this Pandora-like casket—this
fatal box—to be broken open in her:presence before he paid
her her wages---(for the merciful pastor and his lady bad
considerately allowed the young woman to go to the inn,
after quitting their roof, without giving her what was her
due)—the reverend runner found two books, his pro-
perty—the one a school-book, the other an odd
volume of the " Heiress of Bruges," an& " other articles
not mentioned in the indictment." Among these other
articles were a pair of silk socks, of which the Reverend
prosecutor, intending to exhibit with effect to the horror of
the jury, the judge, and the Court, involuntarily demon-
strated the holiness and antiquity, by putting his fingers
through, instead of into, the heel! The whole of the pro-
perty purloined from " the family " does not appear to have
been of sufficient value to find a ready purchaser in Holy-
well-street or Rag-fair ; and its exposition, illustrated by
Mr. CLARKSON'S cross-examination of this benevolent clergy-
man, demonstrated what our reporter mildly terms the
" ridiculous" exaggeration of the value the prosecutor had
put upon them, at the very moment he was taking credit to
himself (good man !) for his reluctance to do the work he bad
begun, and the low figure of his appraisement. All the
authority of the respected Recorder could not suppress, we
are told, the laughter and ridicule elicited by this exposure
of the property—and of the prosecutor.;
Now, we do not feel it necessary to press on the reader's
attention the extreme probability that the fact of the articles
being in the young woman's box at all may be fairly at-
tributable to the haste and confusion, under the "marching
orders " we speak of, of a hasty removal, without any sort of
dishonest intention on her part—" the family " being by no
means remarkable, we infer, for the Christian virtues of pa-
tience or gentleness. The things might have been thus put
away, with a good-natured purpose of easing the mistress
of " the family" of some part of her removal cares : for non-
constat that there was any concealment, on the girl's part,
of the place and particulars of the box's deposit. But net
having her defence before us, we cannot argue on any par-
ticular presumption of this kind. We limit ourselves, there-
fore, to contending for the general hypothesis of her inno-
cence as deducible from all the facts. The Reverend Gentle-
man's some three or four servants had been discharged in the
course of twelve months; but the reverend lady, with a
degree of candour which mistresses of the Caudle school ex-
hibit only in the witness-box, we apprehend, admitted—
under cross-examination—that not three or four only, but at
least twelve, servants had been dismissed by " the family "
in twelve months. What a pattern of HORACE'S "domes et
placens uxor" is here! How delicious an example for the
whole living of Mortlake of the Christian spirit and the
amiable community of feeling that should pervade the homes
of all the Reverend prosecutor's parishioners. One servant
hired and discbargod per mensem—twelve per annum—seems
to be the rule of this gentle pastor's household. TAYLOR,
another female servant, who proved that she bad carried the
little box to NEEVE'S house by the prisoner's desire, ad-
mitted, again—on cross-examination—that "in the nine
months in which she was engaged by the family,' no less than
nine servants had been discharged." The Recorder, passing,
perhaps, the most lenient sentence he could do on the verdict
of guilty, remitted the prisoner, not to another gaol, but
simply to fourteen days' longer confinement in Newgate.
Whilst that able and humane judge was passing sentence,
the Reverend Gentleman, in obedience to some " dumb
show telegraphing" from his lady, with great good taste and
exquisite humanity rushed to the witness-box, just as the
Recorder was putting some circumstances of extenuation to
the jury. But though the Reverend Mr. REEVE emulated
the submissive Mr. Caudle in the alacrity of his obedience,
he was emphatically repulsed, and compelled to retire, with
no other or higher satisfaction to his paternal and pastoral
humanity than what might be derived from contemplating
the convulsive sobs, the struggles, the swoonings of the un-
happy woman whom be had placed in the felon's dock on
this trumpery and disgraceful indictment; or the knowledge
that to the public blasting of her hitherto unspotted charac-
ter, and her humble but virtuous prospects, a sentence of
fourteen days' imprisonment in Newgate had affixed the
seal of extinction Poor, unhappy girl ! Most amiable,
most Christian-like of pastors! Let this world judge be-
tween you. In the next—but we forbear.

The Allotment of Shares having taken place, the Directors feel it
due to state the following reasons is explanation of the disappoint-
ment which doubtless will be experienced by many of the numerous
and highly respectable individuals whose applications have been un-
avoidably either greatly reduced, or not complied with, and of the
arduous and delicate duty which the Directors have had to perform.
Ist. By the recent arrangement with the Hull and Barnsley Junc-
tion Railway Company, the capital of this Company has been re-
duced, from One Million sterling, in 50,000 Shares, to 650,0001. in
Shares.
2d. By the arrangement with the Huddersfield and Manchester
Railway and Canal Company, one-third of such reduced capital had
to be divided, rateably, amongst the Shareholders in that Company.
3d. After awarding an unusually limited number of Shares to
each member of the Provisional Committee, and of the Provisional
Directors, and making the necessary reserve for landholders and
others locally interested, there rer:-ialned less than 8,000 Shares for
distribution by the Directors. wnllst the number of Shares applied
for considerably exceeded ar4,000.
Under the above cirvenstances and difficulties, the Directors, in
distributing the smai:,. number of Shares at their disposal, have felt it
their duty to givt preference to parties whom they believed most
likely to coatrtonte to the traffic of the line.

The Directors have the pleasure of announcing that great progress
Is made in the surveys, &c., and they entertain no doubt that the
same, and all other necessary matters, will be completed in sufficient
time for the ensuing session of Parliament.

OPPOSITION to CHURCH-RATES.
On Thursday a most numerous meeting of the inhabitant
rate-payers of the district parish of St. John, Notting-hill,
one of the newly-erected churches in the parish of Kensing-
ton, was held pursuant to public notice, in the Vestry-room
of St. John's Church, for the purpose of making a church-
rate fir warming and lighting the church, for payment of
the organist, beadles, and pew-openers' salaries, and for such
other expenses as are necessary for carrying on and main-
taining divine service therein. Also for electing an organist
and beadle to the said church.

The Rev. Mr. Holdsworth, the incumbent of St. John's,
having taken the chair, it was found that the meeting was so
numerously attended by the influential inhabitants of the
district, that the Vestry-room would not hold a third part,
and an adjournment was accordingly made to one of the
newly-erected mansions in Lansdowne-terrace, the largest
room in which was crowded to excess, the greatest excite..
ment having for some days past existed amongst the rate-
payers on the subject of church• rates.
Mr. Roy, of the firm of Roy, Blunt, and Company, soli-
citors, who is the incumbent's churchwarden, ",pened the
business of the meeting by moving "That a :ate of twopence
in the pound be made forthwith towpacts the repairs of the
church of the said parish, the P.,-Apenses incidental to the
maintaining divine service t.,:ierein, and for and towards the
defraying and indemnie _
g the churchwardens of the said
parish, and for all. other necessary costs and expenses, they
may be at oP
,put unto touching and concerning the said
office of, e
—iarchwardens."
Mr
vrAREARD seconded the motion.
_ _

2aptain Hoon, R.N., then came forward, amidst loud
cheering, and proposed the following amendment :—" A rate
for the district parish of St. John's, Notting-hill, being con-
trary to the interest of the parishioners, and inexpedient, it
is hereby resolved, that the rate proposed be not agreed to,
as the church was built, in part, by subscriptions raised on
the express conditions that it should be supported by its pew
rents, and the signatures of only 110 persons, who caused it
to be made a district parish, for ecclesiastical purposes only,
can in no way relieve the trustees and Building Committee
from the pledges on which the money was raised to build
the church, except fur its necessary repairs, when absolutely
required."
The CHAIRMAN proceeded to put the amendment to the
vote. A forest of hands was held up for it, and but a smell
minority for the original motion, upon which the Rev. Gen-
tleman said he must acknowledge that the majority were in
favour of the amendment, a declaration which was received
with tremendous cheering.
Mr. Roy then demanded a poll, which was subsequently
proceeded with, and at its close in the evening the numbers
were—for the rate, 55 ; against it, 45 ; the poll will finally
cease at five o'clock this evening. The voting is taken
under Sturges Bourne's Act, which admits plurality of votes.

SUICIDE OF A GIRL IN HYDE PARK.-Thursday
forenoon, about nine o'clock, one of the men belonging to the Royal
Humane Society noticed a girl, apparently about 13 or 14 years of
age, sitting on one of the seats on the south shore of the Serpentine
River, opposite the Society's receiving. house, without a bonnet. He
crossed the water, and asked the girl what she did there, when she
answered that she was looking for her bonnet. The man told her
she had better go home than sit there without a bonnet, not suspect-
ing that so young a creature could meditate suicide. She then
jumped off the seat, and ran away as If In fear. About an hour
afterwards she was seen to come over the bridge dividing Ken-
sington-gardens from Hyde Park, and walk along the north shore of
the Serpentine for about one hundred and fifty yards, and then throw
herself into the water. The man who saw her, Instead of immediately
hastening to the receiving-house and giving information, merely told
the gate-keeper of Kensington-gardens of the circumstance, and loft
without pointing out the exact spot. The gate-keeper immediately
sent to the receiving-house, when the dregs were used, but, owing to
the spot not bring known, the body was not found until full twenty
minutes had elapsed. It was immediately conveyed to the receiving-
house, and the usual means for restoring animation were for some time
perseveringly tried, but without avail. The deceased, who :had
brown hair and hazel eyes, was dressed in a lilac and white che-
quered dress with small black spots, unbleached calico shift, white
petticoat with fancy work at the bottom, flannel petticoat, dark stays,
white stockings, and black leather boots. The body now I:es at
Mount-street workhouse. _

MR. WHITESIDE, Q.C.—Mr. Whiteside, the emi-
nent Irish barrister, whose speech on the occasion of the State
trial was spoken of with so mnch praise, is in a very delicate state
of health.

Madrid journals of the 24th have been received, but they
contain no intelligence of interest, though abundance of
rumours. The Espanol says it is the opinion of many well-

informed persons that the Cortes will not be assembled this
year, but gives little credit to the report. The brother of
Munoz had received another appointment, that of Intendant
of the Queen's palace. He previously held the office of
Administrator of Property to the Queen's sister. Some
private business was done in Spanish Stock on the 23d, when
the Three per Cents. were done at 34 for the Account, and
33%8 for Cash.

We are glad to learn from Paris that a considerable im-
provement had taken place both in French Stock and Shares.
The Three per Cents. had risen 30c. and the Fives 15c. The
fluctuation in the Share Market was inconsiderable; wherevrr
a change occurred it was for the better, and the !fear of
further depression seems to have disappeared. " The fifth
anniversary of the Ministry of October 29," says the Con-
stitutionnel," was celebrated on Wednesday, at St. Cloud, by
a grand dinner, to which the KING had invited all the mem-
bers of the Cabinet. Each year this anniversary is marked
by a new advancement in the Legion of Honour, accorded to
the Ministers who have not yet arrived at the highest grade.
As there was nothing more to do in this respect for Marshal
SOULT, the promotion was granted to his son, the Marquis
DE DALMATIE." The skill, firmness, and success of M.

Algiers, it is true, is an unfortunate affair, but that was a
legacy from the old Bourbons, which:the new dynasty can-
not with honour throw up. According to one of the journals
the National, the latest accounts from that quarter are any-
thing but favourable. " The Government," it says, " has
received from Africa a fresh dispatch which it has not judged
proper to publish. This dispatch announces that, after the
affair of Ain Kebira, ABD.EL-KADER, in place of withdraw-
ing with his cavalry to the Moorish territory, proceeded to
the middle of our possessions, and reached Sidi bel Abbes,
between Mascara and Tlemcen. There ho has continued
propagating insurrection among the tribes, and it appears
that he has succeeded to such a point that nearly all the
natives of the west of Algeria are in revolt, attacking our posi-
tions considered most safe from their insults, or withdrawing
en masse either to the territory of Morocco, or to what is called
the desert." According to a letter from Toulon, in the Courrier
Frangais, General LAMORCIERE had made a successful razzia
on the two tribes implicated in the surprise of Djemm
Ghazaouat and destroyed a part of the army ofAnn-EL-KADEn,
and cut off the heads of a thousand Arabs. The story, how-
ever, is utterly improbable, and none of the journals give
credit to it. The Sentinelle says, "If the reports which have
reached us are correct, the insurrection of the Aralss has
greatly extended in the province of Oran. General LAuom-
CIERE is said to have arrived in time to raise the blockade of
Tlemcen, which was hard pressed by the enemy. It is added
that he routed and overthrew several Arab corps." A tele-
graphic dispatch from Port Vendres, dated Oct. 28, had been
received by the French Government from General Count DE
CASTELLANE, Commandant of the 21st military division, an-
nouncing that all the troops who were to be embarked at
Port Vendres for Oran had left. The number embarked at Port
Vendres, Marseilles, and Toulon is 9,290, and 987 horses.
The following aro miscellaneous extracts from the papers :
" The currency of corn," according to the Journal des Debars,
" during the last nine months was much less than during the
corresponding period of the years 1844 and 1843, which demon-
strated the confidence of the public in the agricultural resources
of France, the only country in Europe at present which is not
uneasy respecting her means of feeding her population. The
quantity of corn in store in France at present is considerably more
than that existing last year (256,000 metrical quintals, in place
of 98,000)."
A recent account has been taken at the Corn-market of
Paris, at the public granaries, and at the stores of the 601
bakers of the capital, of all the flour in hand. It appears that
they contain together a sufficient provision for four months.
The Moniteur publishes the official returns of the French im.
ports for the present year up to the end of September. The
duties received exceed those of the corresponding period of the
last year, which were much higher than those of 1843. The
month of September, however, taken by itself, is less favourable,
the duties having amounted to only 12 millions of francs, whereas,
in september, 1844, they were 12 milllona and a half. ,

THE SUN,_LONDON. SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 1, 184-5.

" We have already stated," says the Constitutionnel," that the
Minister of Foreign-Affairs had just sent offto Tangiers M. Hamont,
one of the gentlemen belonging to his department. This envoy is
charged to hand to our Consul-General a note addressed to the
Emperor of Morocco. The French Government in this note in.
forms Abderrhaman that it has come to the determination to pursue
Abci.el*Kader on the Moorish territory. The terms of the treaty
concluded with France are called to his mind, and the late events
are adduced as a proof that it has not been executed. The in.
ference is, that the Emperor had failed in his engagements through
want of ability to fulfil them, and France, in consequence, is au.
thorlsed to do herself justice."
A letter from Florence of the 22d says:—" The emigrations
from Romagna continue. They are already very numerous, and
will still increase, for the prosecutions of the court-martial installed
at Rimini are incessant. It has sequestrated the property of the
emigrants. Amongst estates thus taken is that of Count Beltrami,
one of the richest inhabitants of Bagnacavallo. The five chiefs of
the last insurrection are still imprisoned here, but they are treated
with kindness. They *replaced together in an apartment of fort
Belvidere."
