"With respect to the London and Norwich Direct Railway scheme,
an inspection of the map will show that it does not fully accommo-
date even the thinly-peopled district through which it passes. It goes
through Bury, but the convenience of the smaller towns between
Bury and Stansted is sacrificed to obtain a short line. We are con-
vinced that the through-traffic will not, in this case, be sufficient to
maintain the railway ; and we believe that both the through and
local traffic must be called into action to ensure a moderate return on

The Provisional Committee of the Paris and Lyons Railway Com-
pany having ascertained that it is the intention of the French Govern-
ment to lease the line to a company able and willing to reimburse the
State for all expenditure hitherto incurred, and to undertake all ffir-
ther outlay which may be required for the entire construction of the
line, have determined upon increasing the capital to the full amount
necessary for this purpose. In conformity with the terms of sub-
scription contained in the circular of the 10th August last, which con-
templated such a contingency, they have resolved upon offering
to the Shareholders Two Now Shares for every Old Share, sub-
ject to all the liabilities ofincrease or diminution hereafter, as in the
former case, and subject also to any further call which may be found
necessary. All Shareholders who may wish to avail themselves of
this option are requested to apply at the office, and to produce the
original receipts, between Tuesday, 11th, and Saturday, 22d inst.
Notice is hereby given, that all parties not applying within the pre-
scribed time will be considered to have waived their claim to the ad-
ditional shares, which will be otherwise appropriated.

the outlay.
"It is necessary, in this part of our report, to adverfto a railway
called The Chelmsford and Bury Railway,' projected but not
brought before Parliament, the plan, and section, and traffic tables of
which have been submitted to the Board of Trade. This railway
appears to us to accommodate a more populous district than that in-
tended to be traversed by the London and Norwich Direct Railway.
Its section shows that it may be done at a moderate cost; there is
a strong local feeling in its favour, evinced by the memorials which
have been received by the Board of Trade from the inhabitants
of Braintree. Halstead, Sudbury, and other places between Chelms-
ford and Bury, who aro of opinion, that if the direct line be sane•
tioned by Parliament, they will be debarred from all chance of being
at a future time placed on a line of railway ; moreover, its promoters
alle.:e that even as to distance, it gives as short a communication to
London from Bury as does the London and Norwich direct line.
However, while speaking thus of the Bury and Chelmsford scheme,
we must guard ourselves against implying that we have formed an
opinion on its merits or demerits, or to whether or not it is required
by the district. We now only advert to the scheme in order to show
that, supposing a direct and short line of railway between Bury and
London were required, a line alleged to be as direct and as short
may be formed, which, at the same time, will accommodate a more
extensive population. And, further, that as the London and Nor-
wich direct line traverses a district but thinly inhabited ; that as it
does not even afford the best accommodation to this district ; that as
the traffic which might come upon it, supposing the Ipswich and
Norwich extension line were made would not be sufficient to support
it ; and that even if it were required, an equally, if not more useful
line might be found, we are of opinion that there are public reasons
which ought to be decisive against it."

G RESHAM AVENUE ASSOCIATION,
30, Bucklersbury, March 10, 1845.
At a SPECIAL MEETING of the PROVISIONAL COMMIT-
TEE, held this day, it was resolved
That, being advised that serious objections are likely to be raised
in Parliament against that part of the scheme of the Association re-
lating to Life Assurance, as involving the principle of a Tontine, the
Committee, therefore, deem it expedient to abandon that part of their
ortginat-plan for raising the capital of the Association.
That the capital be raised by the issue of 3,000 shares of 1001. each,
not subject to a contingency upon life, and that the profits of the
Association be divided annually.
That those subscribers who have paid their deposits upon the plan
originally announced, may, on or before Monday, the 24th inst., re-
ceive back the same, without deduction, upon application at the
Office, and those who are desirous of transferring their subscription
to the present scheme, are requested to signify the same on or before
that day.
That applications for the unappropriated shares will be received
until Monday, the 24th March inst., when the same will be forth-
with allotted.
Prospectuses may be obtained and plans may be seen on applica-
tion at the Offices, No. 30, Bucklersbary ; and of the solicitors,

This Railway will establish a most desirable line of communication
between London, Dover, Salisbury, Yeovil, and the West of England,
traversing in its course many wealthy, populous, and important
districts.
It will commence at the Reigate-station on the Dover and Brighton
Railways, and pass by Dorking and Guildford to Basingstoke. From
thence it will proceed by Whitchurch, Andover, and Salisbury, to
Yeovil. Ey whichmeans the connexion between the East and West
Coasts of England will be complete.
A further and most important feature of the undertaking is, that
by using the line of the South Western Railway from London to
Basingstoke, it will bring Salisbury and Yeovil into an entirely direct
line of communication with the Metropolis. The distance from
London to Salisbury will be about 80 miles, and to Yeovil 120 miles.
It will also unite four of the principal Railways in the kingdom ;
viz., the Dover, Brighton, South-Western, and Great Western, and at
the same time will most materially aid communication between the
ports of Dover, Shoreham, Portsmouth, Southampton and Bristol, a
most desirable object in a Rational point of view.
A reference to the accompanying map will manifestly prove that
few Railways in the kingdom will form aim edium of communication
with a greater aggregate of wealthy, poplous, and important places.
By it, Salisbury, Sberborne, Yeovil, Bath and Bristol, Bradford,
Trowbridge, Frome, Guildford, Farnham, Basingstoke, Whitchurch,
Andover, Weyhill with its extensive fair, Shaftesbury, 31ilborne Port,
Stalbridge, and Ilchester, with the numerous smaller towns and villages
in their vicinity, will be brought into immediate connexion with each
other, rendering the undertaking eminently calculated to promote the
convenience of the public, and certain to yield a large return to its
proprietors.
The country to ho traversed will, as has been ascertained ftom ac-
tual surreys, admit of the construction of the-Railway at a moderate
cost. The portions yet to be formed will comprise the country be-
tween Reigate and Salisbury, about 76 miles (less about 11 miles
proposed to be used of the South Western Railway), and that between
Salisbury and Yeovil about 40 miles, 'making the entire length of the
line yet to be constructed no more than 105 miles.

THE CASE OF THE BRAVE MAN
CARNIE, WHO SAVED A FELLOW-CREATURE'S
LIFE AT LEITH, WHO MUST HAVE PERISHED
BUT FOR HIS INTREPIDITY.
We copy a few introductory remarks which we find in the
Army and Navy Register of last Saturday, omitting the let-
ters to which they refer, because we have already had the gra-
tification of being first in the field to give them publicity: The
public, we lament to find, have responded in a very inade-
quate manner to this strong claim-5/. only has been sub-
scribed, and Mr. Robins (whose perseverance is not yet sa-
tisfied) has, it should seem, been to the Directors of the
Royal Humane Society, and got from them a promise of the
Humane Silver Medal, which will be more highly prized by
Carnie than the poor little subscription aboat to be forwarded
to him :
" The following letters appeared in the Morning. Post, of
Monday last, and we have great satisfaction in giving them
a place in our columns, as the first reflects great credit on
Mr. George Robins, the celebrated auctioneer, for the warm
interest be has taken in the cause of James Carnie ; and the
second contains the character of an excellent specimen of
that singular and clannish race known by the designation of
Newhaven fishermen, from the pen of their kind pastor, the
Rev. James Fairbairn, minister of Newhaven. The reason
advanced by the worthy clergyman to overcome the scruples
ofJames Carnie, and induce him to agree to accept a reward
for performing a good action, affords evidence that he is ad-
mirably adapted for the duty he has undertaken for the re•
ligious and moral welfare of the original class of society
amongst whom he is located. We trust the object so praise-
worthily entered upon from the best of motives by Mr.
George Robins, and so ably seconded by the Rev. James
Fairbairn, will be responded to on this side the Tweed, and
that a handsome sum will be raised to present a purse to
James Carnie, and some tangible memorial to descend as an
heirloom in his respected family. Those only who are ac-
quainted with the character of Newhave mn c
n 'fisherean
form any idea of the value of a gift to any of the members of
their body for a good action, and the veneration in which a
piece of silver plate, presented to one of them, would be held
by the whole patriarchal and interesting race—so well known
to all who have visited Edinburgh, the clean and picturesque
dress of their wives and daughters rendering them objects of
interest to strangers in the metropolis of Scotland."
P.S. We omit the letters, because we have already inserted
them ten days since.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
CHESTER CUP.
There was a slight improvement in the betting on this
race, but no striking change in the quotations. We need
only observe, therefore, that Cataract and Semiseria were in
fair demand, and so nearly level that two sovereigns were
taken for the choice of the horse in an even bet of four hun-
dred pounds. The Era was also in favour, and Obscurity,
albeit 22 to 1 was offered agst in one quarter, ave-
raged 18 to 1 until near the doe, and was finally
backed for a small sum at 16 to 1. Zanoni and Winesour
were not in request, and of the newly-made favourite Yheo-
mun-ac-Knuck, nothing was said to fix a price. The mar-
ket prices at the break-up were as follows:-
8 to 1 apt the three yrs old
11 to 1 agst Mr. W. Scott's Cataract
12 to 1 agst Mr. Jaques's Semiseria
15 to 1 agst Mr. A. Johnson's The Era
16 to 1 agst Obscurity
25 to 1 agst Mr. Parry's Zanoni—taken
25 to 1 agst Mr. Bell's Winesour
25 to 1 agst Mr. Gully's St. Lawrence
33 to 1 agst Mr. Meiklam's Trueboy
33 to 1 agst Lord G. Bentinck's Pug
40 to 1 agst Mr. lrwin's Ould Ireland—taken
40 to 1 agst Mr. Scott's Agriculture
50 to 1 agst Mr. Mostyn's Milton—taken
1000 to 15 agst Mr. Irwin's Foig-a-ballagh
2000 to 30 agat Mr. Osbaldeston's Sorella—taken
16 to 1 agst Patriot, Polish, and Pride of Kildare—
taken to 651.
3 to 1 on the field, against the first four favourites—taken
Two THOUSAND GUINEAS STAKES.
5 to 2 agst Lord Stradbroke's Ides—taken
9 to 2 agst Colonel Anson's Kedger—taken
9 to 2 egg Colonel Peel's Cobweb-colt—taken
MAHE.
The odds quoted against Forth's lot, Alarm, Ides, Cobweb
colt, Kedger, Weatherbit, Old England, Mentor, Annandale,
and the extreme outsiders were tasen in various amounts,
and in every instance offered subsequently. In the cases of
Clear-the-Way and Pantasa, the backers would have gone
on ; the investments were not on an extensive scale. Closing
prices :
11 to 1 agst Forth's lot
10 to 1 apt Mr. Greville's Alarm
15 to 1 agst Lord Stradbroke's Idea
15 to 1 agst Col. Anson's Kedger
16 to 1 agst Col. Peel's Cobweb colt
18 to 1 agst Lord Chesterfield's Pam—take 20 to 1
25 to 1 agat Mr. Ferguson's Clear-the-way—taken
30 to 1 agst Mr. Cuthbert's Mentor
30 to 1 agst A. W. Hill's Iror.master
1000 to 30 agst Mr. Mostyn's Pantasa—taken
33 to 1 agst Mr. Gully's Weatherbit—taken
35 to 1 agst Mr. A. Johnson's Annandale
40 to 1 agst Mr. Gully's Old England
50 to 1 agst Mr. Coleman's Young Eclipse—taken and
afterwards offered
1,000 to 15 agst Mr. Ford's Fuzbos—taken freely
3,000 to 20 agst Mr. Irwin's The Hermit—taken
1,000 to 10 agst Mr. Theobald's Desperation—taken.
OAKS.
2,800 to 200 was laid agst Maid of Orleans (afterwards off.),
and the same odds taken rather freely about Miss Elie. Two
or three parties appeared anxious to lay against Lancashire
Witch, but no price was made.

MONDAY, MARCH 10.
PROPERTY-TAX BILL,

Reported ; Motion made, and Question proposed, " That the
Amendments made by the Committee to the Bill be now read a
second time :"—Amendment proposed, to leave out from the words
" That the" to the end of the Question, in order to add the words
" circumstances under which the renewal of the Income-tax is at
present proposed, are such as to render it exceedingly improbable
that Parliament will have the power of dispensing with its continu-
ance at the end of three years ; and that it is therefore the duty of
this House to take care that the Tax be imposed in a form in which
its operation shall be less unequal and inquisitorial than it now is,"
instead thereof:—Question put, " That the words proposed to be left
out stand part of the Question." The House divided:—
