Assuming the northern terminus of the Erewash Railway
as its origin, this line will pass through localities totally un-
provided with railway accommodation, into the populous ma-
nufacturing districts of Lancashire. It will continue the
important line from which it borrows the prefix of its name,
from Alfreton, in Derbyshire, where it will be a recipient of
traffic from the Cromford Canal—communicating with the Codnor
ironworks—along the Dinting Vale, and, obeying the course of the
river Dement, enter Yorkshire, in the vicinity of Saddleworth. In
Its course, It will pass through or near to Matlock, Ashbourne, Glos-
so.), Mottram, Hyfield, and Duckentield, In reaching which point, the
3finchester and Sheffield Railway will be intersected, and the Hud-
dercield Canal Railway passed, near to the Rochdale station of the
31,oichester and Leeds Railway.
It is unnecessary to state here the character of the country from
It .c!itittle to Blackburn : it will be sufficient to observe, that it is the
se I of those manufactures to which England owes her accumulating
w-:pith. The line will proceed thence through or near to Whitworth
an 1 llossendale, and fall into the East Lancashire Railway, in the
vi. ;uity of Haslingden.
A branch will be thrown eat of the trunk line, from the Junction
w:::. the East Lancashire line near Haslingden, by Low-Moor iron-
.riis and Bacup, to Todmerden.
The Erewash Extension will be the only direct route front the
centre of Derbyshire to the great manufacturing towns and chief
sc.iports of Lancashire. It will traverse a valley district adorned
w;.11 the most picturesque scenery, and, at the same time, rich In
In' ,leral produce. It will communicate, laterally, with several trunk
lint, of railway, and will be fed by no less than five working canals—
the Cromford—the Manchester and Sheffield—the Huddersfleld—the
ALC'ehester and Leeds—and the Liverpool and Blackburn.
'l'., the multiplication of advantages which intersecting railways
all i lines of still-water navigation are compelled to afford, the throw-
-111.: out of branches from the line itself in so many directions will add
still further powers of accommodation, and, when the dense popula-
tina in the localities traversed is considered, there is every reason to
conclude that an ample remuneration for vested capital will be

Cy following the course of rivers, which, is this instance, fall in
wi ill the exact direction of the projected line, highly favourable gra-
dients are obtained for a considerable part of ithe length; and every
other section of the country, upon a preliminary survey, has been
reported as more than commonly practicable. While the return for
capital cannot be questioned, and the necessities of the district de-
mand accommodation, the expenditure must necessarily fall below
the usual amount for works of equal magnitude.
To identify this project with that of the Erewash Valley, although
not included under, or belonging to the same executive, It is pro-
posed to allow subscribers in that Company shares In the Erewash
gictension ; the number to be regulated by the interest retained in
the elder project.
The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the Share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid, until tho Act of Parliament Is
obtained ; and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4 per cent, in.
West upon all calls.-

The object of this undertaking is to connect the Sheffield and Man-
chester—Huddersfield and Sheffield—Midland and Great Grimsby
Railways—the ports of Liverpool and Birkenhead on the western,
and Great Grimsby on the eastern coast, afibrding accommodation
to all the important intervening manufacturir:-; and agricultural dis-
tricts—in fact, to open the shortest and moos: direct communication
between the eastern and western counties of England. It is pro-
posed to commence at Wortley and run to the Midland at or near
Masbrough, affording an outlet north and south, and thence for-
ward to Gainsborough.
There are abutting on the west end of the line the West Riding of
Yorkshire and Lancashire, with a population of 2,221,988—and on
the east end Nottinghamshire and North Lincolnshire, with a popu-
lation of 431,485.
Under any circumstances, - the intercourse between two such
masses of population must be great ; but in this case It is much
beyond the average from the different character of the coentry, and
the pursuits of the inhabitants at the two termini—Lancashire and
Yorkshire having redundant supplies of coal, ironstone, lime, and
m nufactured goods of every description, while Nottinghamshire and
Lincolnshire and the east are dependent on the former counties for
these productions—and send their large supplies of corn and cattle to
the Yorkshire and Lancashire markets. Tae traffic In goods and
passengers between such important and mutually dependent districts
must be unusually great.
A glance at the map of England will show that the proposed line
will be, as nearly as may be, a straight one. A circuitous nue is an
evil, and opposed to public policy. The public suffer by being de-
tained a longer time—by travelling a longer distance—and by paying
a larger fare than is necessary—and the proprietors suffer by being
exposed to the risk, or rather to the certainty of their property being
destroyed at some future period by the competition of a shorter and
more direct line. Sir Robert Peel, in his place in Parliament, on the
15111 of March', 1845, upon this point said—" Re would make no re-
ference to any incliviaual railway schemes,
but he thought they ought
to look forward to the result of mechanical improvements as applied
to those schemes, and they might depend upon It (speaking of ulti-
mate results) that the shortest lines would be preferred.—(Hear,
hear.) The tendency of the improvements which were almost dally
introduced, was decidedly in favour of ti-c shortest lines."
It may also be observed that the Bea .. of Tre ie, ix their detailed
report, in reference to that part of the line from Rotherham to
Galnsbrough (which was submitted for consideration as a distinct
scheme), state it to be " decidedly preferable to the Sheffield and
Lincolnshire or the Sheffield branch of the London and York ;"
and that " it affords a better connexion also with the important
market town of Rotherham, and with the North Midland Railway,
and gives as direct a communication as could be desired with Gains-
borough and Lincoln."
While so favourable an opinion is expressed upon this portion of
the line, it may also be fairly grr ited to the extension from Bother.
ham to Wortley. By the Sheffield and Manchester, and the
Sheffield and Rotherham Railways, the distance from Wortley
to Rotherham is 141/ miles, which by the proposed ex-
tension will be reduced to 9. That portion of the line
will also open out one of the best coal-fields in England, with inex-
haustible supplies of Park-gate and Silkstone coals—besides the .green
Moor Quarries at Wortley. containing very superior stone for
paving and building purposes—while at Thonicliffe and Chapel
Town, there are already most extensive ironworks in active' ope-
ration. At Rotherham and 31asborough—and in the immediate
neighbourhood—there are large iica and steel works, and other
manufactories, requiring qualities o. coal and ironstone, from which
at present they are almost excluded, on account of the heavy
carriage.
Rotherham is the great cattle market of Yorkshire, and likewise
an important cons market, and one of the objects sought to be
attained by the promoters of this undertaking is the shortest route
from the manufacturing to the agricultural districts—and from the
agricultural to the great markets of Yorkshire, and the consuming
districts westward. It will accommodate also the traffic of the
localities through which it passes, and possesses the peculiar feature
of following, as near as possible, the old route in which the stream of
traffic, and especially passengers, has hithorto been accustomed to
flow,

The district between Rotherham and Gainsborongh is destitute of
coal, and there is no canal or railway from which it can be supplied,
excepting by s. very circuitous route—in fact, the supply between
Rotherham and Bawtry is entirely carted along the turnpike-road.
The celebrated grindstones at Wickersley, with an immense quantity
of the finest freestone, from the far-famed Roche Abbey Quarries,
might also be sent—the former to Sheffield, Manchester, and Bir-
mingham—and the latter to every part of the kingdom, were au easier
and cheaper mode of transit established.
It is needless to remark' that any line of railway commanding
the advantages referred to, and connecting Lancashire and West
Yorkshire, with the Trent and the Humber, must prove a very
ample investment for capital; indeed, the returns of the existing
traffic are highly satisfactory.
Surveys have been taken, and the landowners generally are
favourable to the project. The length of the line is about thirty-five
and a half miles.
There will be a clause in the Act of Parliament, limiting the liabi•
lity of each shareholder to the amount for which he may subscribe,
and power will be taken to allow interest at the rate of 4 per cent.
per annum upon the paid-up capital, from the obtaining of the Act
until the completion of the railway,
By the Subscribers' Agreement, authority will ho given to the Pro-
visonal Directors to vary or alter the line, or to enter into any
arrangement which they may think expedient, previous to applying
to Parliament in the ensuing session.
The Directors congratulate the shareholders upon their very satis-
factory position, having secured the valuable co-operation and
assistance of several influential companies.

The principal objects of the scheme are-Ist. To remedy the evils
of delay and inconvenience to which parties are, at the present time,
necessarily subjected in proceeding from the west end of the metro-
polis to Croydon, or the most distant places on the South-Eastern
and London and Brighton Railways, as well as the several sea ports
and Packet-stations on the coasts of Kent and Sussex; and 2d. To
supply to the numerous and wealthy inhabitants of the district
through which the intended line will pass (at present wholly with-
out railway accommodation), a greatly improved means for the in-
terchange of communication with the metropolis, and with each other.
Commencing at the intended terminus of the South-Western Rail-
way, at liungerford or Waterloo-bridge, the line will take the most
predicable route to Kennington, from thence it will follow as near as
possible the old turnpike road, passing through or near to the
wealthy and populous districts of Stockwell, Clapham, Brixton,
Tulse-hill, Streatham, Norwood, Beulah, and Thornton-heath, effect-
ing a junction at Croydon with the several existing or projected
lines from that place.
It is also proposed to form a branch or branches from the neigh-
bourhood of Streatham to Mitcham and Tooting, and thus to extend
to those places, and their respective neighbourhoods, the advantages
of a direct railway communication with the metropolis.
A great portion of the traffic in passengers and goods upon the
Brighton and Dover lines is supplied from the west-end of London
and the Birmingham and Great Western Railways. The necessity
of proceeding to the station at London-bridge, and by the present
circuitous route to Croydon, is a serious and unnecessary inconveni-
ence, entailing additional expense and delay. The removing of this
long-felt grievance is a leading object with the promoters of the pre-
sent undertaking. They deem it right, however, to observe, in lay-
ing this scheme before the public, that they have no desire to inter-
fere with existing railway interests, further than is absolutely indis-
pensable, but that on the other hand it will be their object to yield
assistance to, and in return endeavour to secure it, from each com-
Patty with which this line may ultimately be connected.
A glance at the map will show, that as a brand' or arm of the
London and Brighton Railway, this undertaking completes a straight
line of communication from the west end of London to Croydon,
Reigate, and Brighton, and renders the ports of Dover and Folke-
stone, as well as the several places on the South-Eastern line, more
easily accessible from that part of the metropolis.
The great amount of traffic at the present time upon the roads be-
tween Croydon, Mitcham, Tooting, &c., and London, proves at once
that the existing railway facilities do not at all meet the exigencies
of the mass of population to whom this line will be available.
The population who reside upon or in the immediate neighbour-
hood of the proposed tine, independent of the metropolis, and between
the intended termini, exceeds 100,000, whose wants are almost
wholly supplied from the London markets, &c., and whe have, at
the present time, no mode of conveyance but upon the turnpike
road. In the transit of building materials, corn, coal, lime, and
other heavy goods, from the warehouses and wharfs on the banks of
the Thames, and for marketable produce in each direction, this line
must become to them particularly useful and convenient.
Some idea may he formed of the local necessity of this railway
when it is known that the number ofpassengers who avail themselves
of the accommodation afforded by the several omnibuses and other
public vehicles, running upon the turnpike-road, have been ascer-
tained to exceed 2,600 daily. An equal number (at least) proceed
by private and other conveyances. Of foot passengers, although
no accurate estimate can be formed of them, it is considered that
they at least number four times that of passengers who travel by con-
veyance. The tonnage of goods it is calculated
will be in full pro-
portion to the receipt from passengers.
Experience has fully proved, that on however liberal a scale the
probability of future traffic in the transit of goods and passengers has
been judged, almost every line of railway has, upon its completion,
vastly exceeded the calculated amount. There are, however, In this
instance, reasons for supposing that the extended facilities of com-
munication will cause more than an ordinary increase in the con-
veyance of passengers. The country which the line of railway will
open is singularly picturesque and beautiful, and in addition to the
admired districts of Brixton and Streatham, the long-favoured and
much-frequented Beulah and Norwood will be placed within easy
access, and become more than ever, objects of interest and delight
to the visitor and resident of the metropolis.
There can therefore be little doubt but that the present line must

The promoters of this undertaking have pleasure in announcing

ON THE PROPOSED EXCLUSION OF THE STATUE
OF OLIVER CROMWELL FROM THE NEW PAR-
LIAMENT HOUSE.
0 English people, that in Time's long date,
Slow piling stone on stone, have raised on high
A stately house of freedom, where to lie
Secure and smile, though kings beat at the gate :
Do not, in this your ease, do not forget
Those your forefathers, that in times gone by
Did toil and sweat, and all their lives long ply
At the foundations of your free estate.
Hutchinson—Vane—Hampden, that with his blood

Mortared the stones, and that chief architect,
Oliver Cromwell, he whose heavy hand
Smote the false Stuart. Him would they new eject
From his well-earned honours, and o'erflood
With base neglect that ancient glorious strand!
DUBL"

IN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.
No. CLIV.
An excellent bill of fare promised in the table of
contents is well supplied by the bulk of the papers which
this number contains. " Ireland and her Church "
(second article) ; " Poetical Reniaius of the late Mrs.
James Gray:" "New Zealand ;" "The Asthetical Con-
dition of England;" "Irish Rivers;" " The Last Lay of
the Minstrel ;" " The Whychcots—a Leaf from the
Census of 1841 ;" " A Month in the Highlands;" " Gal-
lery of Illustrious Irishmen ;" " The Outpost Bugle;"
" A Plea for Illusion;" " Sir Robert Peel and the Pro-
testants of Ireland"—these are the principal dishes
which are served up by the editor for our delectation.
The first and the last of them are, of course, strongly
tinctured with a Protestant and Orange hue. We do not
imagine that our readers would thank us for any recur-
rence in this place to daily objects of political polemics
with which they must be aweary. Very beautiful are
the " Poetical Remains" of the gifted lady whose name
they bear; but we have not space for extracts—and, in-
deed, we could only give them at the price of so abridging
her impressive stanzas as to do them grievous injustice.
And yet we are irresistibly tempted to adduce this
charming specimen of her high poetic power :
"I lift with gentle hand the shadowy veil,
I-16*-like myself thou art—and yet how pale!
The same dark hair above the lofty brow,
In its still beauty white and pure as snow.
Thou might'st be sleeping that untroubled sleep
I often watched when resting by thy side,
But on thy face there is a calm more deep,
And on thy lips a rest mere purified ;
I touch thy hand—ah, now I feel the change
For when was touch of thine so cold and strange?
And no uplifting of those shadowed eyes
That ever opening looked for love in mine ;
No answer to those holy sympathies,
Whose magic trembled from my heart to thine.
My love, my love, it cannot be thy clay
That makes me shudder thus and turn -away,
Away from thee—forgive—forgive! the thought
Was from a momentary terror wrought.
Wretch that I was to dread thee !—Lo, I rest
My head once more upon thy marble breast
As if it were a refuge still. Oh love,
That word of mine could one dear answer move
From these cold lips ! Surely thou still must share
Some comfort from my watching and my care;
Surely we shall not part! Oh joy for us
If we might ever be together thus—
That I could bear thee even as thou art
To some lone cavern, where my aching heart
Might have thee to itself, and none intrude
For ever on that sunless solitude!
Nay, is not our own chamber a defence,
Who hath a right from me to take thee hence
From me thy wedded wife?"

" The Wife's Last Vigil," for example, is of so much
unity and such profound pathos, that we could not bring
ourselves to quote any disjointed parts of it. "New
Zealand"—an extended review of the books of Earle,
Brown, Edward Wakefield, Dr. Dieffenbach, and Capt.
Wilkes (United States Navy)—is also the best topo-
graphical, statistical, and descriptive paper on this im-
portant colony that we have met with for some time
past. Under the head of " Irish Rivers" we have a
second article on the Blackwater of Munster—a very
agreeable contribution to this interesting department of
our national topography—full of historical anecdote,
romantic legends, and fine descriptions of scenery.

SIMMO.NDS'S COLONIAL MAGAZINE.
Mr. Charles Hooton, who has long been well known
in magazine literature as a shrewd observer and a
smart and clever writer, gives us in the present number
of Simmonds, a most amusing and animated description
of a visit to, and sojourn in, the city of New Orleans.
This city has the misfortune to bear a bad character in
Europe, and is consequently seldom visited by travellers.
If we mistake not, however, this paper by Mr. Hooton,
in "The Crescent City," will induce many to visit it,
more particularly in the winter season. He thus sums
up the result of his experience during his sojourn:—
" Upon the whole, the impressions left upon me by both
the Crescent City and its inhabitants were of a very favour-
able nature, and such as will ever excite reflections of the
most pleasing kind. With the two exceptions of
jack' and a sun in summer rather too hot, few cities in the
States are more agreeable; for in the winter season the
climate is delicious—that is, during six or seven months of
the year."

The other papers of this number contain much useful
information on the state and prospects of our various
colonial dependencies.

THE BALLOON.

Emboldened by the success of the Aerostatic Magazine,
the editor has in the present number laid aside his nom
de guerre of Wells, and appears in propriet persona as
Mr. Coxwell. The opening article " On Aerostation as it
has been, as it is, and as it should be," is well worthy
the attention of all who desire to see aerostation raised
from the degradation of being a mere show to the dignity
of a science. This is followed by an elaborate critique
on the celebrated aerial voyage to Nassau ; and we have,
as usual, accurate accounts with critical observations on
the balloon ascents of the month. The present number
of this magazine fully maintains its character.

THE HARVEST IN IRELAND.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR.-4 beg leave to inform you that the weather,
since Monday morning, has been everything that the
farmer could desire, in fact, this day is as warm as any
day we have had in the early part of the month.
We had no rain on Sunday, yet the day was gloomy;
up to yesterday we had a smart ilryir g wind from the
north. The wind is blowing to-day from south-oast. This
will enable the farmer to save his mountain crop.
The wheat, oats, and barley, that were cut and dry in
the fields, were in a very precarious condition up to
Sunday morning; but, thank God, all is now right, and
the slightest injury has not been sustained.
We never had a more splendid crop of barley and oats;
the wheat crop will be short, but this will be more than
counterbalanced by the fact that we require only ten
months' consumption, or one-sixth less than last year,
as the crop was so very productive that we had more
than fourteen months' consumption.
Very many of the millers have not one pound of
corn; others have good stocks. Those without stock must,
as a matter of course, purchase to keep their mills going.
The farmers are yet busy drawing the corn to their
haggards; until this is complete, they cannot spare time
to thrash.
Before the month expires you will see immense mar-
kets. The present price of wheat will be sustained for a
fortnight or so ; perhaps another advance may take place,
but it will again recede to what it now is. J. 11.
Clonmel, Sept. 24, 1845.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF AN AGED FEMALE BY
FIRE.—On Wednesday evening Mr. Bedford held an inquest
at the Rising Sun, Chapel-street, Grosvenor-square, respect-
ing the death of Judith Money, aged 85 years, lately residing
at No. 3, Thomas-street, Oxford-street. The deceased was
in the receipt of a weekly sum of money from several bene-
volent persons, parishioners of St. George's, Hanover-square.
On Tuesday se'nnight, about five o'clock, the lodgers in the
house were alarmed at hearing loud screams, and on entering
the deceased's room they discovered her on the floor enve-
loped in flames, which were extinguished with considerable
difficulty, but not before she was frightfully disfigured over
the upper part of her person. She was ultimately removed
to the infirmary of St. George's workhouse, Mount-street,
where she expired on Sunday. The accident was caused by
her having fallen on the floor with a lighted candle in her
hand, which ignited her clothing. Verdict, "Accidental
death."

THE LEAGUE BAZAAR.—The free-trade bazaar is
fixed to commence on the 15th October. The Free-trade
Hall is to be fitted up as a hall in the Tudor style of archi-
tecture, with gorgeous decorations, under the superinten-
dence of Mr. Grieve, scenic artist of the Italian Opera
House and Drury •lane Theatre, the gentleman who gave
such high satisfaction and obtained almost universal com-
mendation for his decorative transformation of Covent-gar-
den Theatre. A meeting of the Manchester Ladies' Bazaar
Committee took place at the Free-trade Hall, on Thursday,
when upwards of fifty ladies were present, and displayed
their usual praiseworthy zeal in making arrangements.—

MAGAZINES—(CONTINUED).
I JERIWLD'S SHILLING MAGAZINE.
This magazine opens as usual with a continuation of
the " History of St. Giles and St. James." St. Giles
has been sent off to the borough of Liquorish, to join
3 oung St. James, whose return for that borough is being
contested by a rich parvenu. The van in which he is
proceeding to his destination is upset, and St, Giles, and
various drunken musicians, who are of the party, are
tumbled into a ditch. Having extricated his com-
panions, St. Giles proceeds for assistance to a neigh-
bouring cottage, which he finds tenanted by Capstick,
the muffin-maer, who, having made his fortune and
lost his wife, had built himself this cottage, which, out of
respect to the memory of Diogenes, he had named " The
Tub," and who had taken Bright Jem to live with him.
St. Giles has previously met Kitty Muggs, now the
widow of Caesar Gum, whose son is a footboy in the
service of one of the Marquis of St. James's daughters
so that we are getting gradually back among our old
acquaintance. " Serving the People" is a pendant to the
paper which appeared in the last number on " Serving
the Country," and is well worthy the attention of all
those who wish well to the cause of that social re-
formation which has already begun, and which it is the
glorious mission of this magazine to urge onward. " The
Englishman in Prussia" makes some very curious revela-
tions as to the self-sufficient selfish bureaucracy, which,
by means of its secret police and its organised spy
system, holds paramount sway in that country alike
over the monarch and the people. Of the "History for
Young England" we have the seventh chapter, which is
devoted to the early English Churchmen from the fourth
to the ninth century. It displays grea": research and
much critical acumen. The friends of "Legitimacy"
would have acted wisely had they consented quietly to
let the statue of Cromwell take its place among those of
the other chief magistrates of England. Such papers as
" Cromwell in the Shades," in the present number of
this magazine, cannot but tell with damaging effect upon
the "right divine of kings to govern wrong." In
another part of this number we have on this subject the
following magnificent sonnet—a sonnet which would not
have been unworthy of the muse of " that blind man
eloquent" who, as Foreign Secretary to the Common-
wealth, achieved as mighty victories for his country
with the pen, as his Highness the Lord Protector had
done with the sword
