DEPOSITS

WORCESTE;
allowed by tf
of railway pl.
peace, the great
out the day,
men and car,
anxious many Ages -
in-hand" were perhaps never before seen in Worcester. Post-
boys and vehicles and cattle of all descriptions were at a pre-
mium, and the principal innkeepers came in for a goodly
share of custom.
There are some forty or fifty.new-.-lines proposed to come
into Worcestershire, and out of this number thirty-five
have given notice of intention to apply for Acts in
the next .session of Parliament. . There being no trains
running on Sundays on the Birmingham and Bristol
Railway, and few on the Great Western or London
and ' Birmingham Railways, several special trains have
been put in requisition between this city and the me-
tropolis and other places, and even with this help some of the
projects have been placed in imminent jeopardy. One party
started from this city last night, at five o'clock, to travel to
Canliff, in South Wale, a distance of about 110 miles, to be
accomplished by road (not an inch of railway:being available)
lk'ithin seven hours. A very few of the plaits and books of
refernce were deposited on Saturday evening, but the bulk
arrived yesterday, and chiefly in the evening. The clerks of
the peace here (city ..and county), have reaped a pretty
harvest, in consequence of the delay in the deposits of plans,
they having clime to the determination of charging double
the usual fee (I believe two guineas) for receiving plans on
Sunday, and a treble fee for all plans recei7ed after eight
o'clock in the evening. Of course parties bearing these im-
portant document's, were glad to get them deposited on any
terms, but kis very questionable wh,:ther these functionaries
are justified in adopting such a system of extortion. I have
experienced the greatest difficultyin obtaining a list of the
plans, &c., deposited by . the several companies, the clerk of
the peace for the county refusing the information, without
payment of an exorbitant fee.

The following are the depositing companies for this dis-

have not been enabled to deposit their sections and plans in
time:—

and passing along the Avon and Severn to Gloucester, with.
branches to Pershore, &c.
Birmingham and Worcester Direct Canal Railway—a

nect itself with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp-
ton Railway, and passing on to Worcester, where it unites
with the Worcester, Hereford, boss, and Gloucester Railway.

The following LINCOLINISHIRE LINES.
six in number, is an enumeration of the various lines, thirty-
are intended °fieeting Lincolnshire, applications fur which
'‘o be made next session.
T11°•-4°, marked A, were before Parliament last year; B, are
1187 projects, advertised previously; C, were unknown until
not ice of application.
Group I.—A I.—The London and York, from London to
York' with a loop from Peterborough, through Spalding, Bos-
ton, Lincoln, and Gainsborough. joining the grand trunk line
at Bawtrv, with a branch line. from Stamford to Spalding.
A 9.—The Direct Northern. The course of this line is
altered so as to use the Grantham ; it crosses the Nottingham
and Newark Line, midway between Newark and Lincoln. A
branch from this line at Clanborough rune 'south through
Gainsborough to Lincoln.
As. The Cambridge and Lincoln line, from Cambridge
through Peterborough to Lincoln, with branches from Stam-
ford to Spalding, and from Sleaford to Boston.
C 4. Eastern Counties. Extension from Cambridge to
York. _ _

C 5. Eastern Counties. Extension from Lincoln to York..
86. Eastern Counties. Extension from March to Lincoln
(known last year as the Ely and Lincoln line).
Group 2.—8 7. The Lincoln and Hull line on the Cliff
Ridge, through the villages by Brigg, taking the level of the
Ancholme Navigation to Barton, thence across the Humber
to Hessle.

B 8. The Hull and Lincoln line on the Valley of the Till
to Kirton, thence to Barton. (A branch from Kirton to ore
of the York lines would accomplish all that this line is in-
tended to do).
B 9. Great Grimsby and Sheffield Extension from Market
Rasen to Lincoln, completing the communication between
Lincoln and Hull, and Lincoln and Grimsby.
B 10. The Lincoln, Louth, Grimsby, and Midlands Junc-
tion, a direct line (over or under the Wolds), from Lincoln
to Great Grimsby (known as Carrit's line.)
Group 3.—A 11. The Sheffield and Lincolnshire Junction
from Sheffield, through Worksop and Retford to Lincoln,
with a branch to Gainsborougb, there to join the Grimsby
and Sheffield.

11 12:- The Manchester and Lincoln Union, from Chester-
field' to Worksop, with diverging lines from Retford to
Gainsborough and Lincoln. Intended to furnish another
mode of communication to Manchester, by the Buxton and
Matlock line._ This line is.supported by the Midlands.
B 13. The Direct Sheffield, East Retford, and Lincoln
Junction.

B 14. The Lincoln, Wainfleet, and Boston Harbour Rail-
way. This line will be required to complete the communi •
cation between the Atlantic and the German oceans, through
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln ; the three competing
lines from Sheffield to Lincoln will have to offer terms for
this line. At present, we believe, the Midlands and Man-
chester Union Companies are disposed is offer favourable
terms.

Group 4.—8. 14. The Northampton and Lincoln.
B 16. The Hull, Lincoln, and Northampton.

B 17. The Lincoln and Grantham. if the London and
York line should be carried, this will be the nearest mode of
communication between Lincoln and London.

Goole (from Goole to Gainsborough, through the Isle).

year as the Lincoln, Leeds, and York ; from Lincoln to York

SUICIDE PROM DISTRESS.—On Monday Mr. W.
Baker held an inquest at the City of Norwich public-house,
Went Worth-street, Whitechapel, on the body of John Rus-
sell, aged 54, a comb-maker. The deceased was a native of
Glasgow, and had formerly been in affluent circumstances,
but from unforeseen difficulties he had of late become greatly
reduced, and for some time past had obtained a precarious
subsistence by hawking combs about the streets. On Thurs-
day night he was very depressed, and went to bed about
eleven o'clock, and on Friday, not coming down stairs, his
landlady went to call him, and found him in bed in a dying
state. Mr. Hart, a surgeon, was sent for, who, upon his
arrival, pronounced him to be labouring under some narcotic
poison. Antidotes were administered without effect, as he
expired at eleven o'clock the same night. After his death
two phials containing a few drops of laudanum, and labelled
poison, was discovered secreted between the sacking and the
bed. Verdict—" Temporary insanity."
On Monday last the town-crier of Stamford made
the following proclamation throughout the town Whereas
last night some rogue or rogues took a quantity of malt from
the premises of the Half-moon Inn ; this is to give notice,
that if the said rogue or rogues will make personal applica-
tion to Mr. Dalton, the landlord, he will give a suitable
quantity of hops for the brewing."—Stamford Mercury.
THE BERNARD TESTIMONIAL.—A subscription has
been set on foot, under the above title, to provide for the
families of the gallant men who volunteered to bring the
plague-ship the Eclair from Africa to England, and who fell
victims in the attempt. Mr. Bernard was the surgeon, and
went on board at the Cape de Vord Islands.—Hainpshire
