COURT OF CHANCERY.
TO THE EDITOR OF 7'HE SUN.

SlR,—The question of qualification for the (lice of
chief clerk to the Masters in Chancery, which you have
alluded to in your journal, is assuming a graver aspect
than it has yet presented. The profession, who, though
tardy in movement, are not deficient in energy when
roused, have now taken up the matter in earnest, and
have presented a petition, signed by upwards of thirty
of the leading officers in Lincoln's-inn, calling for in-
quiry into the circumstances under which a gentleman
exercises an office of trust and importance in the Mas-
ters' offices by deputy. When it is known that fees ex-
ccediag 4,0001. are annually taken from the pockets or
the suitors by the Masters' clerks, it l'riaot iiiire.asknable
to suppose the suitors will expect there.shiittl.ool,,sonac
supervision over these gentlemen. And the Legislature
having assigned a salary for the office, sufficient to se-
cure the services of gentlemen of professional editcati,n
and skill, the- Lord Chancellor will not surely allow the
office to be held by a person whose incompetency obliges
him to perform the duties of his office by deputy.
The Lord Chancellor has appointed Monday next fur
the hearing of the petition.

I am, &c.
A FORMER CANDIDATE FOR, THE OFFICE.

QUALIFICATION OF CHIEF CLERK TO THE
MASTERS IN CHANCERY.
(From the Legal Observer of July 19.)
We have received a copy of a petition presented to the Lord
Chancellor in the matter of Thomas Wlntioy, the *el clerk
ofAnkirew. Henry Lynch, Esq., oneirOf'theiMlisteii of iltt
Court of Chancery ; and as this is a subrectithichArOrteerns
the profession generally, we feel bound to submit it to our
readers.
It is the petition of thirty-two of the solicitors of the Court
of Chancery, whose respective names and residences are there-
unto subscribed.
It states that the petitioners are, and for many years have
been, solicitors duly admitted to practise, and actually prac-
tising, in this Honourable Court, and in the course of their
said practice the petitioners have the conduct and management
of suits in progress through the offices of the Masters in Ordi-
nary, and divers of the petitioners have now the conduct and
management of suits in which references have been directed to
Mr. Lynch. one of the said Masters, and which references are
still pending.
That the officers in the said Masters' offices consist of the
Masters themselves and their chief clerks and copying or
junior clerks, one chief clerk and one copying or junior clerk
being attached to the separate office of each of the said Masters.
That according to the usual course and practice of the said
offices, it is the duty of the chief clerk to assist in the prosecu-
tion of all inquiries and accounts referred to the Master to
whose office he is attached, in which an exercise of the per!'
sonal discretion of the Master is not involved ; and it is like-
wise, according to the same practice, the duty of the said chief
clerk to prepare the drafts of the reports of such Master, and to
settle such reports in the presence of the solicitors concerned.
That a very large amount of the business of this Honour-
able Court is, in fact, transacted by attendanee before the
chief clerks of the said Masters, and that in the prosecution of
suits in the said Masters' offices the solicitors of this Honourable
Court have to attend before the chief clerk more frequently
than before the Master, and that it is of the highest import-
ance to the interests of the suitors of the Court, as well as due
to the solicitors of the Court, individually and as a body, that
an officer before whom such solicitors have to lay statements,
and to whose judgment they are called upon to defer, should
not be selected from a lower rank in society than themselves,
and should be qualified by his station to attain their respect
and confidence.

- That from the earliest time the said office of chief clerk to
any of the said Masters in Ordinary has been executed by the
holder thereof for the time being in person, and not by deputy.
That the copying or junior clerk in the office of each of the
said Masters is usually a person who was clerk to the Master
while at the bar, and that the duty of such copying or junior
clerk is to wait personally upon the Master, and to receive the
fees in the office, and to make the appointments for attendance
before the Master and the chief clerk respectively, and to enter
and copy accounts, reports, and proceedings.
That by an Act of Parliament passed in the session of the
third and fourth years of the reign of his late Majesty King
William the Fourth, intituled " An Act for the regulation of
the proceedings and practice of certain offices of the High
Court of Chancery in England," it was among other things
enacted, that no person should be appointed to be chief clerk
of any Master in Ordinary of this Honourable Court, unless
he should have been admitted on the roll of solicitors or at-
torneys in one of the Courts of Westminster Hall, for not less
than five years, or should have been a junior clerk in the office
of one of the said Masters for a term of ten years. And it was
thereby among other things further enacted, that each and
every of the Masters in Ordinary, registrars, and clerks of the
said registrars, master of reports and entries, clerk of affidavits,
and examiners of this Honourable Court, should hold their
said offices during their good behaviour, and so long as they
should personally give their attendance upon their respective
duties, and should conduct themselves honestly and faithfully
in the due execution of the duties of their said offices respec-
tively • and that the officers and clerks in the several offices of
this Honourable Court should give their personal attendance in
their respective offices during the times they should be so di-
rected to attend, as by the said Act provided, unless otherwise
engaged in the business of their respective offices, or prevented
by sickness or other unavoidable cause. And it was further
enacted, that there should be paid by the accountant-general
of this Honourable Court out of the fund to be placed to his
account, to be entitled " The Suitors' Pee Fund Account," to
the several officers named in the schedule thereunder written
the several salaries or yearly sums set opposite to their respec-
tive naaes or titles in such schedule, being (among other
things) the salary or yearly sum of one thousand pounds to the
chief clerk of each of the said Masters in Ordinary other than
the accountant-general, and the salary or yearly sum of one
hundred and fifty younds to the junior clerk of each of the said
Masters ; and it was further thereby enacted, that it should be
lawful for the copying or writing clerk of the said Masters to
receive and take the sum of one penny halfpenny per folio of
90 words, and no more, for every copy of every document or
writing, or a part of any document or writing, made in the
Masters offices, from the parties requiring the same, and also
for the transcript of every report, and that such sum of one
penny halfpenny per folio should be retained by the said
writing or copying clerks to be employed by the said Masters in
their respective offices, and that no part thereof should be re-
ceived or retained by, or applied to the use or benefit of any
other person or persons on any pretence whatsoever.
That in the month of December, 1843, Andrew Henry
Lynch, Esq., one of the said Masters in Ordinary appointed
copying Thomas Whiting, who had then been
or junior clerk
in the office of another of the said Masters for more than ten
years, to be chief clerk of him the said Maiter Lynch, and in
the month of June, 1814, the Lord Chancellor was pleased to
order ths.-t the salary of one thousand pounds, provided for per-
sons filling the said office of chief clerk, should be paid to the
said Thomas Whiting, since which time the said Thomas
Whiting has annually received such salary.

That notwithstanding such appointment of the said Thomas
Whiting, and such receipt by him of the said salary, he has
never performed, or in any manner attempted to perform, and
does not now perform the important duties belonging to the
said office of chief clerk to the said Master Lynch, but that
such duties have been ever since his said appointment per-
formed by, and the same are now continuing to be performed
by, Edward Wright, the junior or copying clerk in the said
office of the said Master Lynch, who is not himself qualified,
according to law, for the office of such chief clerk, and by such
means the duties of chief clerk to the said Master Lynch are,
in fact, performed by a deputy and an unqualified person. And
the said Thomas Whiting has ever since his said appointment
performed the duties of copying or junior clerk, and no other
duties, in the said office of the said Master Lynch, and the
petitioners believe that the said Thomas Whiting is, in fact,
incompetent to discharge the duties of chief clerk to the said
Master.

That the petitioners are advised, and humbly submit to the
Lord Chancellor, that an office of so much trust and import-
ance as that of chief clerk to one of the said masters ought
not to be executed by deputy, and that to permit the same to
be so executed would be establishing a principle injurious to
the interest of the suitors of this Court, and contrary to the
true intent and meaning of the said Act of Parliament, and
would have the effect of depriving the said suitors of the
security intended to be given to them by the said Act for the
performance of the duties of the said office by persons possess-
ing the experience and legal attainment indispensable for the
efficient discharge thereof ; and the petitioners, in their cha-
racter of solicitors of this Honourable Court, and also as re-
presenting the interests of the suitors of this Honourable Court
confided to their care, feel aggrieved by the premises.
The petitioners therefore pray his Lordship to cause inquiry
to be made into the matters aforesaid, and into the manner in
which the duties of the office of chief clerk to the said Master
Lynch are now, and have been since the appointment of the
said Thomas Whiting thereto, been executed and performed.
And that his Lordship will be pleased to order that henceforth
the duties of the said office may be performed by the said
Thomas Whiting while he shall continue such chief clerk in
person, and not by the copying or junior clerk of the said
Master or by any other deputy, and that in case the said
Thomas Whiting shall neglect personally to perform such
duties, or shall be found incompetent thereto, that he the said
Thomas Whiting may be removed from being such chief clerk
of the said Master Lynch, and that in such case his Lordship
will be pleased to make order for the due appointment of some
other properly-qualified person to the said office of chief clerk
in the place and stead of the aaill Thomas Whiting.

TEAN & DOVE VALLEY RAILWAY,
AND CIIURNET VALLEY RAILWAY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUM

in common with many others, have been consider
ably amused by the efforts which a certain officious individual
has recently been making, not only to divert the attention of
the public from the merits of the projected Tean and Dove
Valley Railway, but also to puff and bring again into notice the
Old Churnet Valley line, a scheme which though once notori
ous is now almost forgotten by all but its unfortunate share-
holders. The gentleman to whom I allude, has been industri-
ously dancing attendance upon the editors of several provincial
papers, with a capfull of articles manufactured by himself, and
aiming at the two objects I have mentioned. The whole of these
articles, it may be observed, are anonymous, and although some
of them bear a suspicious resemblance to editorial articles, yet
the secret of their authorship peeps out from all, yes, verily,
" The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of
Esau." Now, Mr. Editor, I know that it is your disposition to
afford fair play to all parties who may have occasion to trouble
you, and I am sure you will allow me to make a few remark,
by way of reply to our friend of the Churnet Valley.
In the first place, then, I must beg to tell him that, however
necessary the North Staffordshire Line (i. e. from Macclesfield
vid the Potteries to Colwick) may be to the important district
which it embraces, it is rather too much to expect that the Lon-
don and Manchester traffic is to be dragged along so circuitous
a route. A glance at the map will convince the public that
the North Staffordshire line is not and never will be a London
and Manchester line.

The other portion of the North Staffordshire scheme (i.e.
from Macclesfield to Wellington,) does not profess to .be a
London and Manchester line, and it may fairly be questioned
whether one and the same company can have any serious inten-
tion of making the two lines, running as they do parallel and
within a few miles of each other nearly the whole of the distance.
That the North Staffordshire Company may. intend to apply
for an Act for constructing both lines, no one who is at-all con-
versant with railway.tactics can doubt. The obtaining of an
Act for that purpose would give them absolute possession of the
ground, and keep their opponents at bay ; but the;actual making
of both lines is another and very different matter, and is an idea
which, to my certain knowledge; many influential parties con-
nected with the Potteries portion of the North Staffordshire
scheme consider themselves privileged to laugh at. But, sup-
posing on the other hand, and for the sake of argument, that
there really exists on the part of the North Staffordshire Corn-
pany an intention of carrying out the whole of their scheme,
what then ?

The whole, be it remembered, is at present only a project,
and if the Teen and Dore Company can offer a much better
and more profitable line than the Churnet Valley portion of the
North Staffordshire project, what earthly: reason is there to
prevent it ? Are we to be gravely told, that because the North
Staffordshire Compiny think fit to project a line of railway in
a certain direction, that_ the Tean and Dove are precluded from
projecting a better line, simply because it will traverse a por-
tion of the same country ? Surely, Mr. Editor, you are
sufacientlAacquainted with these matters to know that the time
has gone by in which such nonsense might have been insisted
upon, The country is now in a situation to make choice of
the best line, and the simple business-like question to be asked
and answered is, which possesses the greatest merits, the
Tean and Dove, or the Churnet ? The advocate of the latter
harps a good deal upon the fact of the Board of Trade having
already reported in its favour, but " as things go," the Report
of the Board of Trade upon a railway project, is a " rather dis-
cordant string to play upon." " The light of other days is
faded," with reference to the decisions of that unfortunate
board. In short, Mr. Editor, you are well aware that the
Railway Department of the Board of Trade has been regularly
cashiered by Sir Robert Peel.
You will think, Sir, that I am scribbling on to a most in-
convenient length, liut.thire is one little fact connected with
the Chaplet and..the Board'of Trade, which deserves to be re-
corded. Before i state its, ',Will gratify our Churnet Valley
friend by assuming for a moment that some degree of importance
is to Li! attached to the Report of the Board of Trade. Under
what circumstances, then, was that vaunted report made ?
Was it when the Churnet was in its present " mongrel and sense-
less shape ?" Certainly not. That report was made when the
Churnet was a London and Manchester line, which it has now
voluntarily, and to suit its own selfish purposes, ceased to be.
So much then for the Churnet Valley and the Board of Trade.
Now for the Tean and Dove Valley scheme. This is a
London and Manchester line, and (as compared with the North
Staffordshire line), will effect a saving of seven miles of actual
distance. Whilst doing so it will embrace the important
towns of Leek, Cheadle, Tean, Uttozeter, and Burton-
upon-Trent (in respect of which latter town alone
it is computed that 50,0001. per annum is paid for
carriage), and it will also (to adopt the language of
its prospectus), open the, rich and extensive coal-fields of Bid-
dulph, Poy nton, :A4lingten, Cheadle, Gresly, Swadlincote,
and Moria to the Whoielingdorn.
Such, then, are some of the merits of the Tean and Dove
Valley scheme, and of its claims upon public attention and
support.

If our Churnet ,Valley friend wishes foi further discussion,
I am prepared to afford it him when and where he likes.
In the meantime I can assure him that, notwithstanding the
various guises in which he has appeared, I am well acquainted
with his real position as to the old Churnet Valley line, and
will, in conclusion, give him the benefit of an anecdote, the
application of which I will leave to himself and his conscience.
Coleridge takes up the old idea that the Jews have a peculiar
odour, and may be known by it, just as Cobbett affirmed that
he could scent a black man at the distance of a mile. " Once,"
says Coleridge, " I sat in a coach opposite to a Jew— a sym-
bol of old clothes bags—an Isaiah of Holywell-street. He
wcinld close the window, I opened it. He closed it again ;
upon which, in a very solemn tone, I s.id to him, ' Son of
Abraham, thou smellest ; son of Isaac, thou art offensive ;
son of Jacob, thou hasty "bad odour I See the man in the
moon, he is holding his nose' at thee at that distance ? Dust
thou think that I, sitting here, can endure it any longer ?' My
Jew was astounded, opened the window forthwith himself,
and said he was sorry he did not know before I was so great a
gentleman." I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
A SUPPORTER OF THE TEAN AND DOVE
VALLEY RAILWAY.

versally acknowledged by every one of taste that however beau-
tiful a woman may be, if her hair is deficient either in quantity,
quality, or colour, one of her greatest charms is wanting. A
complete remedy for all this is to be found by visiting the esta-
blishment of Ross and Sons, and choosing head-dresses that sur-
pass nature herself, fronts, bands, or ringlets that assist her,
or splendid plaits that, encircling the thin hair, give it all
the appearance of a luxuriant growth. The partings are so
admirably contrived that the nearest inspection is confounded ;
the transparency of the web, admitting the skin of the head
to be seen through, they may be described as being as light as
a feather..—Address Ross and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-

sEwEN MAcPFIEB.—Our readers may recollect the
story of this singular Highlander, which we gave to the world a few
years since. He still lives in his solitary little island in Loch
Quoich, as free and almost as agile as one of the red deer
on the hills. Last week Provost Sutherland of this town
happened to allude to Ewen's history while proceeding In the
Glasgow steamer to Corrychoillie's sale, when another
passenger, Bailie Macphee, sugar refiner, of Leith, was so
struck with the character of his namesake, that he gave the
Provost IL to present to him, adding also another IL bank-
note in the name of his brother, Provost Macphee, of Greenock.
This unexpected windfall Provost Sutherland had an opportunity of
presenting to Ewen at Corrychoillie, and we need not say that
such a recognition of clanship was joyfully received. Ewen never
cared much for the " authorities" in any shape, but this union of
two Provosts and a Bailie to relieve his necessities is as curious a
matter, and fully as kind hearted, as Bailie Nichol Jarvie's affec.
Lion for Rob Roy. Nor is there any occasion for our Prevost being
afraid, like the ancient worthy of the Saltmarket, that the members
of the Council would not think it creditable in one of their body to
be aiding a wild Highlandtnan !—lnverness Courier.
TILE GENERAL POST LETTIia-CARRIERS.—On
Thursday night, at a late hour, a meeting, attended by nearly 000
letter-carriers of the General Post-office, was held at the Owen
alendwr Tavern, Aldersgate-street, for the purpose of preparing
alpetition to the Postmaster-General, expressive of the grievances
under which this body of men consider they labour, and praying his
Lordship to abolish the system of payment by fees, and to esta-
blish a graduated scale of permanent salary. Mr. Robert Grapes,
being unanimously called to the chair, the draft of a petition, pre-
viously prepared by a committee chosen for the purpose, was, after
considerable amendments, adopted, and arrangements made for
placing it in the hands of the inspector of letter-carriers without
delay for presentation to his Lordship the Postmaster-General.
The business of the meeting was not concluded before twelve
o'clock, at which hour the body of letter.carriers quietly separated.
CORBETT ON DUELLING.—Cobbett, when chal-
lenged to fight, recommended the challenger to draw a Cobbett in
chalk upon a door, and if he succeeded in hitting it, to send him
instant word, in order that he might have an opportunity of ac.
kno 'sledging that had the true Cobbett heen there, he, in all pro-
bability would have been hit too. But hit or not hit, the bullets
would have no effect whatever, he maintained, on the original cause
of quarrel.
A QUAKER WOMAN'S SPEEC Dear friends,
there are three things I very much wonder at. The first is, that
children should be so foolish as to throw up stones, brick-bats, and
clubs, into fruit-trees, to knock down the fruit—if they would let
it alone, it would fall itself. The second is, that men should be
so foolish, and evon so wicked as to go to war and kill one another
if they would let one another alone, they would die of them-
selves. And the last thing I wonder at most of all is, that of
young women—if they would stay at home, the young men would
come after them.

VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, July 25;

MATIIEWS V. WEBSTER.

Mr. ROGERS moved in this case for an parte injunction,
restraining Mr. Webster, the lessee of the Haymarket Theatre,
his agents and servants, from performing or representing, or
causing to be performed or represented, the well-known far e,
Used Up, without the permission of the plaintiff, Mr. Charles
Mathews,_ by whom the play had been translated and adapted
from L'Homme Blase. Mr. Mathews's affidavit stated that
in February, 1844, he had composed and prepared for dramatic
representation the farce lised Up from the French play, 30,`
had adapted it for the English stage. He bad himself played
in it until very lately, when, in consequence of a quarrel with
Mr. Webster, he had ceased to do so. The farce had beets
represented seventy- seven nights, and had been announced
as
the work of Mr. Mathews, who had altered, transposed, and
re-written the greater part of it. He claimed, by virtue of the
i
recent Copyright Act, to be the author of the farce, and win
the 22d instant, had ben reresented s such in the lay-bills.
issued by Mr. Webster.e Since that timea it had been anpnounce('
to the theatrical world and the public with the name of 101.
Bourcicault, and Mr. Mathews had not played at the theatre.
It was advertised for performance this evening.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR—What is announced for to-Tner:
row night? You had better wait until to-morrow. Actingi*
for one night cannot do you much harm, and the injunction
would cause some inconvenience probably, this motion being
made without notice. All cases of ex parte injunction 101
know are discretionary.
Mr. ROGRRS—Perhaps your Honour would be kind enough
to look at the playbill (handing it up).
VICE-CHANCELLOR—I am engaged fur this evening, Mr.
Rogers.—(Laughter.)
Mr. ROGERS—It is a very popular farce, and the lessees nisi
probably realise a large sum by this evening's performance.
VICE-CHANCELLOR—Perhaps many of the public will ea
go if they know Mr. Mathews does not play. The inconveni-
ence of waiting until to-morrow cannot be very great.
It was understood that the solicitor of the Haymarket 'The-
atre, who happened to be in Court, consented to accept A"
notice'of the motion for to-morrow (this day).

HOME ClRCUlT.—Maidstone, July 24.

CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDOK.)
CHARGE OF MURDER AND ARSON. —Charles Sininss'
aged 23, a well-dressed young man, was indicted for having
wilfully and feloniously set fire to a certain dwelling-house, a
Faversham, he well knowing that one Thomassin Pymm Part
was therein at the time.
The prisoner was likewise arraigned upon the Coroner's in-
quisition for the murder of Thomassin Pymm Payn.
The first indictment was proceeded with.
Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Deades conducted the prosecution,
and Mr. Bodkin, with whom was Mr. Horse, appeared fer
the prisoner.
The trial commenced on Thursday, and occupied the Court
from mid-day until past eleven o'clock at night, during the
whole of which time the Court was crowded, and the case ap-
peared to create great interest.
A considerable number of witnesses were examined, but the
case will be much better understood in the form of a Writ-
five. It appeared that the prisoner had been formerly in the
service of a grocer at Canterbury, but last Octoffer he came to
Faversham, and set up in business for himself. He at fit?t
occupied, with his wife and an infant child, two rooms Ia
West-street, in that town. This was in October • and ?
the February following he removed to another house 31
the same street, which was jointly occupied by himself an"
a person named Payn, and where he again carried 0°
the business of a grocer; he living, with his family, on one
side of the house, and Payn and his family on the other, to°
passage from the street-door being between them. It has been
stated that the family of the prisoner consisted of himself, In'
wife, and an infant ; and Payn, his wife, and a cousin, the n?.:
fortunate deceased, constituted the other family. The fire .01_
question took place between eleven and twelve o'clock on the
night of the 29th of April. Smoke was first seen issuing &ow(
the passage of the home, and very soon afterwards the side.
the house occupied by the prisoner and his family. was ol
covered to be in flames. An alarm was speedily given, Ina
the prisoner with his wife arid child were taken from the he'usi,
in their night clothes, and Mr. and Mrs. Payn were also take
out in safety;' but the deceased was either suffocated, fie.
else the terror was too much for her ; but, however, 5%
unfortunately lost her life, and was found dead I
her room, apparently in the act of attempting
open the door of her chamber. It was remarked at t
time of the fire that the flames burnt very brightly, ry
suddenly, and appeared as suddenly to be extinguished ; but a,
the time there slid not appear to be any particular suspicion !ann
tertained upon the subject of the fire. Upon an examinatte,
of the premises being made, it appeared that the fire ce,
menced near the cellar, and from the fact of all the doors bet%
fastened on the inside, it became apparent that if the fire 0.19i0
wilful one it must have been committed by some person otters
the house. Upon more minute search it appeared that the 'ea
had been what was called a surface fire, and the lames belle
to have spread all along the floors and the shelves of the te,°li
and all along the passage the same appearance presented 114
so far as the cellar door. On the rubbish in the passage beeer
removed a shawl and a piece of liren were found °tee
it, both of which articles were strongly impregoae,
with the spirit of camphine. This excited greater 500%
picion, and a more minute examination of the rubbish lir
place, and under another portion of it was found a new " et
dow blind that had been sent home to the prisoner a days
two before, and had only been used once, and this 045, et.
strongly impregnated with camphine. The mat at the Woe
door was also wet with the same spirit, and the carpet 10 it.
prisoner's sitting-room was also wetted nearly all over wl",ad
Two cans that appeared to have contained camphine were i° ed.
in the shop, and one of them appeared to have been overter°94
The fire appeared to have extended as far as the third h
leading to the cellar, and the suspicion was that the fireliaell
commenced at that spot ; and the shawl and the piece of tb,
saturated with the spirit being found near the place led t owl
inference that they had been the means of causing the fire'
that the fierce manner in which it ignited was occasiolLi to
the camphine spirit. These suspicious circumstances b""; ar
further inquiry, and the jury who eat upon the body of t diet of
fortunate young woman who lost her life returned aver 000
wilful murder against the prisoner. In addition to theoceee
facts it appeared that before Mr. Payn went to bed lined that
tamed that his side of the house was perfectly safe, or of
there was not the slight est appearance of fire in sal P fief-
it. He went to bed before eleven o'clock, and short aer,
wards he heard some one, whom he believed to he the prig° the
come in at the street-door, and he heard him walk al°ng ed
passage to the cellar, and heard the door of the cellar or° to
very gently, and the alarm of fire was given before he t
tre.
sleep. It likewise appeared that on the Wednesday orb is
day before the fire, the prisoner, who used a vanaphine!,7o.
his shop, purchased a gallon of camphine at a shop in r2roer
ham, and on the day before the fire he purchased '! ar
quantity of camphine. In addition to these facts, it ate
peared that-a few days before the fire the prisoner had god
ades
the agent of the Phoenix fire-office in Faversham, and Into tbe
proposal to effect an insurance with that establishment Or
amount of 4001., of which 3001. was to be for his steer the
trade, and 100/. for furniture ; but it appeared that afte ..ia
fire the goods and stock that were saved, and which it or awe
constituted the greater portion of it, did not fetch 50'00
gether. There were some other minor circumstances 131 e jeace
forward, but the above are the principal points of the e
against the accused. with,
witnesses were cross-examined by Mr. Bodkin sl
ot
very great care and minuteness, and he elicited from the- wife
when the alarm of fire was given, the prisoner and los duels
and child were rescued by means of a ladder, with great e
culty, and with nothing on but night clothes. It likewise the
peared, that upon the people going into the bees° the

ssno'st -,:""Jourg Company was endowed with a perpetual grant and
Ilae„,„ enilmited powers. In accordance with this project, the Corn-
Icite seftmenced operations at the Liege end, and proceeded
ele, 'r.eat vigour and success, until all was stopped by the Belgian
Say •tition of 1530. National jealousy or other eircemseances
04 shice prevented the resumption of the scheme. The river

tos-'ate bouts; Company has derived a handsome and increasing return
It s'"+" money expended. This Company had also obtained the

asssseV, of the
lead mines of Maizeret, and of the naanga-

The Committee of Management have the pleasure to announc us, as
one instance among many of the great public advantages likely t .43 re-
sult from the carrying out of this railway, that certain leadi:. , ett
al-
masters of Staffordshire have proposed to this Company, tha. n 1 the
event of the line being established, they will guarantee a clear arm flat
profit of 50,0001. for the conveyance of coal to the London in: ix ket
alone, and they assert (though it forms no part of the present pro-
posal) that another 50,000/. per annum may he realised from other
markets. In the event of such contract being accepted, they pr opose
to deliver their best coals in the London market at I2s. 6d. per • ton,
which would ensure to the metropolis a supply of caals at a price
most materially below the present cost.

The Committee feel it right to make this announcement, bees ttge it
is one of the early practical illustrations in proof of the great vziblic
utility which the Committee must confidently auticipato from. the
establishment of this important national project.

This railway has norbeen pillaged from the prospectuses of any
other undertaking, nor have the labours of any other person been
appropriated to eke out a fancy scheme. It was originally planned
by Mr. George Remington in 1836, and in 1840 and 1841 this gentle-
man surveyed the ground, and took the sections between London and
Leicester, and personally inspected the Valleys of the Dove, Der-
went, and Churnet, with a view to obtain a great trunk line between
the most important termini in the empire. Manchester, the centre
of the great manufacturing district, comprising the towns
of Bury,
Bolton, Rochdale, Ashton, Oldham, Macclesfield, Stockport, &c ,
and a mass of population, exceeding a million, actively engaged in
the pursuits of manufacturing industry, will benefit by every reduc-
tion of distance between itself and the metropolis, and requires a
direct communication, not a route made up of circuitous segments
of various undertakings already overworked, with a patch of new
railway between, but by one continuous railway.
Public opinion, the sentiments of eminent statesmen and engi-
neers, and the wants of the commercial world, have for some time
pointed out the necessity of a direct independent line. The circum-
stance alone of other lines in this direction being now advertised,
which have been announced since this undertaking originated, is a
convincing proof of the feeling so generally entertained.
This is not all. Looking to the map of England, it will be per-
ceived that the nearest route to Edinburgh is through the very centre
of the kingdom, by
Manchester; and, from the obstructions of the
Firths of Forth and Tay, Carlisle and Manchester must necessarily
be points in the intercommunication between London and Glasgow,
and the North and North-east of Scotland. Whenever the Northern
railways are complete, a very great passenger traffic, a, well as the
goods at present brought by sea to Liverpool from Glasgow, will be
added to the present amount, and the necessity of greater expedition,
certainty, and accommodation, will be felt to be more pressing.
Already, from the vast increase of business, the Midland lines have
obtained an amount of goods and passenger carriage that has reached
the limits of safety.
If, then, from various causes, such _ as the continuous increasing
traffic on the old lines—the junction of many new railways projected
and in formation—the approaching completion of the Scottish and
Northern lines—the progression of railway communication in Ireland,
new and immense sources of traffic will be necessarily poured in on
lines indirect and inadequate to general accommodation ; there can
be no objection on public grounds to the construction of a direct line
between London and Manchester. On the contrary, every reason

From Leicester to Bedford and London, it will intersect a rich,
populous, and fertile country, e present without railway communi-
cation to London, while northwards of Leicester it will pass through
important mineral and mining districts, and the coal and other natu-
ral productions of Derbyshire and Staffordshire will be immediately
available for the population along the whole line.
From a point in the Tean Valley, near Cheadle, it is intended to
carry a branch railway through the Staffordshire Potteries to Crewe,
by way of Lane-end, Stoke-upon-Trent, Hanley, Newcastle-under-

PUBLICATIONS.

Provisionally Registered pursuant to 7 and 8 Vic., c. 110.
This railway is proposed to commence at Cambridge, on the
Northern and Eastern Railway, to proceed in a direct line to
Northampton, and take its course, via Fenny Compton, Stralford-
upon-Avon, and Alcester to Worcester.
By its junction with the London and York Railway near St.
Neots, the Loitdon and Birmingham near Northampton, the Oxford
and Rugby and the proposed Oxford and Birmingham, or Warwick-
shire and London Railways, at Fenny Compton, the Warwick and
Cheltenham Railway at Stratford-upon-Avon, and the Oxford, 'Wor-
cester, and Wolverhampton near Worcester, this railway will con-
nect Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and the important tov.ms bf
Yarmouth, Norwich, Ipswich, Lynn, Cambridge, withithe cormties
of Northampton, Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Oxford, War, wiel-
Worcester, Gloucester, Hereford, Some:set, and Cornwall, Sour.
Wales, and the South of Ireland. In short this railway will com-
plete the chain of communication from the cast to all parts of Eng-
land. It will also be the most direct route from Loudon to 'War-
wick and Leamingten, connecting a very populous district entirely
destitute of railway accommodation, opening, moreover, direct com-
munications between extensive manufacturing, minc al, and agricul-
tural districts. This line must not only be of great public and local
advantage, but also insure traffic and passengers, and goods amply
remunerative as an investment.
A prospectus, with the names of the Provisional Committee will
be published in a few days. In the meantime applications for shares,
or other information, may be made to John Chinery, Esq., So-
licitor, Leamington, and No. 3, Church-court, Old Jewry, London ;

This Property is altogether exceedingly desirable as a permanent
Investment, but Mr. Robins, in following his undeviating course,
must begin by acknowledging that before the contemplated large
revenue becomes manifest a considerable outlay must take place,
as the Buildings are by no means in good order.
The Property, it will have been seen, is very extensive, and in-
eludes that which must always be a valuable source of Income,
THE WEI` DOCK IS 108 FEET BY 52,

The British and Irish Union Railway Company has been recently
formed to connect with Ireland the manufacturing districts of Eng-
land, and some of the southern counties of Scotland. It is now pro-
posed to complete the connexion between Scotland and Ireland, and
supply the remaining connecting link along the Ayrshire and Gal-
loway coast, by snaking a line from the terminus of the Glasgow and
Ayr Railway, at Ayr, to join the British and Irish Union Railway at
or near Stranraer, all as detailed in the Prospectus already published
in this paper.
The Provisional Committee have been assured by Mr. Miller, the
engineer of the Glasgow and Ayr Line, that the Railway will be com-
pleted for less than the proposed capital.
The Directors of the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr Rail-
way have agreed with the Provisional Committee to take a lease of
this Railway, when completed, for 999 years, and to pay four per
cent. interest on the cost stated in the Prospectus; and to divide
equally with this company the surplus profits, after deducting the ex-
penses of working the line at the rate of 33 1-3 per cant.
Applications for Shares, will continue to be received by tke fol-
lowing Brokers :—Messrs. Charles Telford, Warnford-court, and
