Man is confessedly a most belligerent animal, and
as long as he remains so works of the nature of the
one before us—treating of military matters, and re-
cording the achievements of the great ones of the
earth—must possess considerable interest to a large
circle of readers. Nor would we wish it otherwise;
for although we regard war as at best bat a necessary
evil, still, until society is sufficiently advanced to
abstain from settling questions of national dispute by
a resoqiin.brute force, we would by no means seek
t. repiesi-the.manly and martial spirit such works
tend to foster and which indeed, animating men to
deeds of seledevotion and hero:sin, invest the doings
of war frooi • time to time with a sublimity which
partially redeemsjheir horror. Much, therefore, as
we may love pa4o-- d approve of Peace Societies in
the abstract, -Wa.:;Winot say that we feel at all
desirous to sea our country lay aside " the pride,
pomp, and circumstance of glorious war," or cast
away her sword at their bidding, especially while
all our neighbours keep their's, ready sharpened, in
their hands, and our brother Jonathan and Cousin
France in particular, flourish their weapons every
now and then in our faces, threatening to take ad-
vantage of any momentary weakness we may ex-
hibit. But the United Service Magazine does not
treat exclusively of professional matters, either
military or naval; and of the numerous publications
of the day, which address themselves to the sympa-
thies and advocate the interests of a particular class,
we know of none more entitlettla public approbation,
or more worthy of general support, whether we
regard the varied and general interest of its contents,
or the excellent manner in which the subjects treated
of are handled. The reader, whose taste takes the
widest range, will find in its pages variety enough to
satisfy him; and the great charm of all is, that w e do
not have aventures at second-hand; we do not have

This important line of railway will commence near the Midland
Comities Station at Nottingham, whence, after crossing the navi-
gab'e River Trent, the line will proceed through or near Bridgeton',
Holme, Ratcliffe, and the intermediate villages, Bingham, Bot-
tesford, Whatton, Elton, the rich- and fertile Vale of Belvoir,
to the town of Grantham, thence passing through or near
l'olkingham and Bourn, or one of them, to Spalding, Long Sutton,
Sutton-bridge, and King's Lynn,and there joining the intended Lynn and
East Dereham Railway, will form the most direct line of connexion be-
tween the Eastern ilounties, and the great and populous manufac-
turing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire, by means
of the projected Grand Union Extension line to Amber Gate, and
other lines north of Nottingham ; and by means of the line to
Yarmouth will also form a communication between the Eastern and
Western coasts of the Kingdom.
The Southern parts of Lincolnshire, and the North Eastern parts of
Carnbridgeshire, will be afforded a direct facility of intercourse with
some of the best markets in England.
The neighbourhood of Nottingham being the most Eastern part
of the Great Midland Coal Field, this Line will afford a supply of
loals, as well as being the medium of transit of Derbyshire Lime
and Stone to the ,griculturists of South Lincolnshire, at a conside-
-ably cheaper rate than by other existing or projected Line ; in
short, the vast mineral wealth of the Midland District, will be ren-
dered available to the whole of the great agricultural country East
of Nottingham.
Surveys are now in progress, and the nature of the country is
!mown to offer no serious engineering difficulties, and a great portion
of the Line will he nearly a dead level. The consideration of an ex-
tension of the Line from Spalding or Long Sutton to ~isbeach, will
also form a portion of the scheme.
The Report of the Board of Trade on the Lines through Lincoln-
shire, says :
" The total cost attending the transmission of a quarter of wheat
from the interior of Lincolnshire, by sea, from the port of Boston to
London, including freight, insurance, lighterage, commission, and
other charges, is stated to amisint to very near Sc. The Charge by
Railway per quarter (allowing five quarters to the ton, at the charge
of ► (1. per ton, per mile, at which the estimate of the Cambridge
and Lincoln Railway is taken) would not exceed 25., and the re-
maining charges are calculated not to exceed 2s. 6d., thus showing
a benefit to the corn growers and to the public of 3s. 6d. per quarter,
occasioned by the saving of the sums now paid for insurance,
delay, loss in weight, depreciatiOn of quality, lighterage, &c."
" A still more important advantage to the Farmer is afforded by
the opportunity given by railway communications of availing himself
promptly of the meat favourable market. It frequently happens tha-
'wing to the delay and difficulty of transmission, the Farmer is come
pelted to sell his wheat at the nearest provincial market at a price
considerably below the average rate, and to lose the advantage of a
temporary rise."
" Whatever tends to equalise prices and to prevent excessive fluc-
tuations cannot but be considered as a benefit both to the producer
nd the consumer. We are satisfied that much may be done in the
ay by an economical and well arranged system of railway cons-
wimication."
The same remarks apply to the whole of the great manufacturing
districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire.
The great quantity of land, amounting to 100,000 acres, about
to be redeemed from the sea by a company, with Sir John Rennie, as
Engineer for the promoters, and Mr. Retitle], for the Corporation of
Lynn, must ultimately prove of great advantage to this under-
taking. And, it it is conceived, that the Grand Union Railway must
meet with the cordial co-operation of the Midland Railways, as an
immense traffic will be brought along those lines en route to Birming-
ham, the Potteries, and the whole of the manufacturing districts of
Staffordshire. The traffic upon the intended Nottingham and Mans-
field, Sheffield and Newark, Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junc-
tion, and the Sheffield and Manchester lines, must also derive a great
increase from ithisline of railwa The Cambridge ;and Lincoln Rail-
waymust also be greatly benefited.

Since the issuing of the former Prospectus, the ProvLional Direc-
tors ',me considered it desirable to negotiate with the Patentee. air
his whole right of patents, instead of confining themsolVes to' the
United Kingdom and Ireland, as originally proposed ; and the Direc
tms have now the satisfaction of announcing to the public that they
have agreed for the pqrchase of the British and Foreign right of Pil
brow's Atmospheric Railroad and Canal Propulsion Patents. By this -
ektended arrangement the Directors have obtained the patents upon
much more advantageous terms for the proprietary, in consequence
of which the amount Of call necessary to carry out the object and
intention of the .Oompany will •be greatly diminished, and the pros-
pect of. immediate: return considerably increased.
In lieu of Five Pounds, One Pound per share is considered ample to
Cover the expenses ot purchase. and to lay down a line of sufficient
length to prove the Superiority of *Pi;brii's Atmospheric principle.
• 'fire-arrangement of this undertaking; however. nceeSsarily involves
many changes ; the amount of capital and the number of shares nmst•
be considerably augmented, but-the shares will still be continued at
the same amonnt, viz., Ten Pound shares, to meet the wishes of the
original applicants.
An instalment of One Pound per share will be required on the
signing of the deed of settleMent.

The prowinent advantages of this s3r.tem of Atmoipherie traction,
are, that the continuous valve is dispensed with ; roads are crossed
u• on a level without interruption of main ; one atmospheric railway
can be intersected by another, thus saving bridges, approaches, and
leakage ; and it is confidently expected that a stationary engine every
ten miles will be sufficient.

incidents served up from the prolific imagination of a
ready writer, but we have " moving accidents by flood
and field," and " hair-breadth 'stapes th' imminent
deadly breach," told by those who have actually ex-
perienced them and mingled in the scenes they
describe, and told, too, in such a manner as to make it
clear that the gallant actors in them can wield the
pen at least as well as they can wield the sword.
The volume now under our consideration, which is
Part I. for the present year, opens with an article
upon " The Social Wrongs of the Soldier ;" and,
although, as might be expect d, in one or two places
it manifests, perhaps, a little too much esprit du corps,
it sets forth, temperately, and with much justice, the
prejudices the soldier has to encounter. Some
of the prejudices, however, of which the writer
complains, arise from a knowledge of the sources
from which the army is recruited. If the
personel of the army could be raised, the soldier
would rise proportionably in public esteem. Com-
plaint is justly made against the aristocratic nature
of the army as an institution, and that Government
evidently desires to make it so, instead of a popular
institution. In this complaint we entirely agree with
the writer. It is, after all, the "cold shade of aris
' tocracy," as General Napier well phrases it, that
presses most heavily upon the soldier and his prospects.
We then have a concise and interesting account of
"The Theatre of War in the Caucasus," in which
the writer takes a rapid survey of the operations of
the Russians in that region, and leaves it no longer
matter of surprise that the heroic mountaineers should
have maintained so long and successful a struggle
with their gigantic enemy. But it is impossible
within our brief limits to enumerate even a tithe of
the conterts of the volume before us, although we
cannot refrain from referring, en passant, in terms of
praise to the continuation of our friend Flexible
Grummet's interesting "Reminiscences of a French
Prison" and to a most graphic and spirited " Record
of Indian Warfare," by Mr. Percy B. St. John.
Perhaps the most interesting papers in the Magazine,
however, at least in a professional point of view, are
those upon "The Spirit of Military Institutions," by
Marshal Marmont, Duke of Ragusa. -A work upon
the art of war, by one of that brilliant group of
warriors, the Marshals of the Empire, who, by the
practical application of their principles, overran
Europe with conquest, is alone sufficient to excite
attention. These papers, moreover, are written in a
popular and singularly clear and intelligible style,
so much so that the most unprofessional reader may
peruse them with interest, and to the military man
we should say they are invaluable. In a word, this
Magazine is one we can most cordially recommend,
and considering its value as a book of reference, no
library—certainly no military one—can be deemed
complete without it.

The system combines extreme simplicity with perfect efficiency,
and that obtained with a small comparative expense iu working and
construction.

It is estimated that a saving altogether upon the other plans of
Atmospheric Railways (having the continuous valve) will be nearly
3,000/. par mile two)nains or lines can, on. this plan, be laid for
little more than the cost of one, upon the other plans ; and a saving
or working in annual expense of two-thirds.
Increased safety is insured, also obstruction and destruction by
weather and other sources are placed beyond probability by the
mains being buried, &c.
The objects of the Company will be to dispose of foreign patents ;
to grant licences to Railway and Canal Companies to use the
invention, or lay down the works under contracts with the different
Companies ; and to lay down an experimental line in the neighbour.
hood of the metropolis, by agreement with an existing company or
otherwise.
The income derivable from these sources offers considerable advan-
tages, while the expenses, with the exception of the purchase of the
patents, and laying down the experimental line, are obviously small.
A Model, upon a scale of one inch to th foot, may be seen at work
on Wednesdays and Thursdays, between twelve and three o'clock,
at the Company's offices, by application to the Secretary or Officers
of the Company.

has proposed his amendment, which Sir Rober< eel re-
sisted, and the House of Commons threw out. Be it so;
yet we confess, that as far as our perception of right and
wrong goes, we really do not understand the morality
of the proceeding. The Minister who did not scruple to
assent, a few years ago, to the plunder of one-fourth of
the Irish clergyman's property, in order to give it L. the
Irish landlord ; and who has no hesitation now in r,b-
bing, by Act of Parliament, the Protestant people of
England and Scotland, that he may have wherewithal to
endow permanently a Roman Catholic college in Ire-
land, need not, one would think, be very tender about
applying the remaining funds of the Irish Church to any
purpose which may seem to ho' desirable. He has not a
shred of principle on which to rest his present obstinacy:
for the principle, if partially conceded by the Whip,
has been altogether given by himself. Morever, our
readers need not trouble themselves to speculate largely
about this matt• r. The Irish branch of the united
Church is doomed. A Conservative Government has
signed its death-warrant, and Sir Robert Peel, if he le
Prime Matister a few years longer, will do the office of
execut!ont r."
