This railway will commence at the station of the Monmouth and
Hereford and Worcester and South Wales Junction at Ross, pro-
teeding through a rich agricultural district, now devoid of railway
accommodation. to Abergavenny, and from thence by Llanelly,
Nant-y-Glo, Tredegar, Ebbw Vale, Rumney, and Dowlais to Merthyr
Tydvil, at which place it will join the Taff Vale Railway. The dis-
tance will not exceed 4e miles.
On reference to the map it will be seen that this line, in conjunc-
tion with the proposed Worcester and South Wales Junction, via
Ledbury, Malvern, and Ross, will perfect a continuous and direct
communication from Merthyr Tydvil to London, Gloucester, Bir-
adugham, South Staffordshire, and the north.
It is unnecessary to enlarge the prospectus with details of passen-
ger and goods traffic, the elements of both in the district which this
line accommodates being well-known to be inexhaustible ; it may,
however, be stated that the population of Merthyr and its neighbour-
hood exceeds 120,000, that it is the centre of a coal and trailers]. field
1,200 square miles in extent, producing upwards of half a tctillion of
tons of iron ore annually, and wholly dependent for its supalies upon
the, agricultural counties of 3loinnouth, Hereford and Worcester.
"The necessity for a line of railway on the north of the iron works
affording a direct roate to London and the North, is admitted by all
Interested in or acquainted with this important district : this deside-
ratum will be supplied by the present psoject, and in conjunction
with the Taff Vale Railway it will also afford a means of communi-
cation with Cardiff, frsm which Important shipping port a large por-
tlon of the district has been hitherto shut out.
'The line will he laid down so as to render the greatest accommo-
dation to the principal ironworks in tha district through which it
will pass, and to afford them the shortest means of access to the
principal markets of the kingdom.
Arra Igements have been made with the Directors of the Worces-
ter sad South Wales Junction Railway Company, for the mutual ad-
vaalt4ge of both Companies.
Applicants for shares who are personally known to members Of
the Provisional Committee, are requested to refer to one of such

This line is intended to be n ade from or near the station of the
Eastern Counties Railway at Ware to Huntingdon and Peterborough,
taking in its route the large and important market towns of Pucke-
ridge, Iluntingford, Royston, .Biggleswade, Potton, St. Neot's, St.
Ives, Huntingdon, Stilton, and Peterborough, and going through a
line of country at present totally destitute of any railway commuui•
cation.
The advantages of the line will be self-evident to those acquainted
with the locality. It will bring all the before-mentioned market
towns in direct communication with London and each other ; and
au ongst other benefits this line will form a direct communication
between two of the largest cattle markets in England (St. Ives and
Smithfield), and as the London market is in a great measure sup-
plied from the market at St. Ives, it will be apparent that great re-
turns will be derived front this source alone ; and it will enable the
graziers and cattle-dealers of this large and luxuriant district to
carry out the object they have had so long in view, of sending their
stock at once and in good condition speedily and cheaply to and from

PROSPEC'CUS.
The object of this line of Railway is to complete the chain of coast
communication, and form a connexion with lines already established
or projected with reasonable hopes of success.
It will commence at or near the city of Limerick, and taking a nor-
therly direction, proceed through the counties of Clare, Galway, Mayo,
and Sligo, terminating at Sligo, by a junction with the Sligo and Ennis-
killen Railway, and accommodating on its route the important cities and
towns of Limerick, Ennis, Gort, Loughrea, Athenry, Monivea, Tuam,
Rallinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Ballina, Kilalla, Swineford,
Streamstown, and Sligo, which t• wn being connected with the north,
east, and south, by the different lines through Enniskillen, London-
derry, Coleraine, Belfast, Armagh, Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda,
Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Killarney, Yalentia,
Tralee, and Limerick, the establishment of this line will cause Ire-
land to present a completeness of locomotive communication which
no other country in the world enjoys.

the London and other markets.
The whole of the country abounds in agricultural productions. and
is well known for its highly luxurious and richly-cultivated nature,
and great benefit must of nee. ssity be derived by throwing open a
direct communication therewith.
On reference to the map the importance of this undertaking will
at once be seen, and besides forming a direct communication be-
tween London and the before-named places, it will open upon a very
large source of passenger and other traffic by the junction and com-
munication with the various other railways it will meet in its course,
and particularly those railways which emanate from Huntingdon,
St. Ives, Cambridge, and Peterborough.
The want of railway accommodation has been felt to press unfairly
upon the inhabitants of the several 111mo-tont and thriving towns
above-mentioned, and the adjoining and thickly-populated neigh-
bourhood.
A prospectus, containing every particular, together with the names
of an influential Provisional Committee, will shortly be published.
In the meantime all communications from parties locally interested
and others, and application for shares, in the usual form, may be made

The establishment of the above railway will effect two great
and imstortant objects :—first, the supply of the metropolis and its
vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre.
sent mode of transit: secondly, by the exclusion of passenger
traffic to diminish the risk of accidents. The Board of Trade, in
reference to the latter, have in their report upon the subject, laid
great stress on the importance of separating the passenger from
goods trains ; and the Select Committee of the House of Commons
on the coal trade recommend that every means of promoting a new
supply of coal should be encouraged. The existing lines for the
north being already crowded to excess with trains of every clam,
travelling at velocities varying from fifteen to fifty miles per hour,
and new railways being almost daily projected as feeders to the
great trunk lines, the already prodigious traffic on those lines must
be still further augmented; so that it may be truly assumed,
that the addition thereto of several millions of tons of coals
and goods is out of the question. It, therefore, becomes
manifestly necessary, with a view to public convenience,
and to supply the metropolis and the intermediate districts
with coals from the coal fields in the north, from which at present
the greater proportion is supplied, that an independent railway,
devoted exclusively to the conveyance of coals and goods at a
moderate and regular speed, should be constructed from Newcastle
to London. It is, therefore, intended to confine this railway to
carriage of coats and goods only ; and it is ascertained that the
conveyance by railway of large quantities, for long distances, at a
moderate speed, and at comparatively low rates, will be as profitable
as the carriage of passengers at a greater velocity, The actual ex.
perience of the London and Birmingham Railway affords a safe
ground for calculation; the expenses on that line for the year 1844
being 1,4721. per mile ; at the same rate per mile, 2,000.000 tons of
coal annually may be brought the entire distance from Newcastle;
this quantity is about one-half of the present importation from
London, making on the average from 13,000 to 14,000 tons
daily.
The extreme fluctuations to which the price of coal Is subject
from irregularity in the supply, dependent as it is on the uncer.
tainty of the winds and weather, has hitherto operated against the
estabishment of manufactories on the banks of the Thames. From
the same cause, also, London has, at times narrowly escaped total
darkness, the gas works not being able to obtain their regular
supply of coals. In the course of the last five years the prices of
household coal, on the Coal Exchange, have fluctuated between
14s. 6d. to 276, per ton, and last winter the price rose even to 355.
per ton ; the high prices always occurring at a season when the
scarcity, and consequently increased price of coal, is most distress-
ing to the poor.
The removal of the colliers from the Pool if ah important con-
sideration, as it will necessarily render the navigatjon of the
Thames safer for all other vessels:
to this undertaking, that it will 'supersede, in a great measure
the employment of collier
be-
yond all doubt, ;sili it it 440 objection
ft;ips, because it is now ascertained,
_2O per cent. %ha'. coals can be brought to London by :TalisktaY at

previous misery, parted with all the " gooits unit chattil
that the distre-s-warrant could have been levied on. On
the facts coming before the -Houses of Parliament, the Lerd
Chancellor in ore of them, and the Home Secretary in the
otier, expressed strong opinions, we find, on the illegality, as
well as the inhume] ity, of the decision which themagistri.tes
had arrived at, and the man LAKIN was released three
days before the expiration of the term of imprisonment
assigned to him. Another rate has since been made. Again
the cruel experiment has been repeated of attempting to ex-
tract from this chattel-less man, a contribution for the sup-
port of others in the same condition as himself; but inmates
of the union-house. What is his own character ? A par-
ticularly good one; that of a hard-working, well-conducted,
and respectable man. His excellent deportment is attested
under the hands of his employers and neighbours. But his
• wages for the last eleven weeks have averaged but
9s. Bd. per week. The rent of his cottage absorbs of this
Is. Bd., and there remain Bs. for the support of himself, his
wife, and a family of four young children. His attendance be-
fore the Ashby-de-la-Zouch bench on a new summons a fort-
night ago entailed upon him the loss of 45., and the fees then
charged and ordered by the magistrates were, .is. "for their
clerk, and Is. Gd. for the constable." Now, this is, we do not
scruple to say, a mockery of all law, all justice, all humanity,
all common sense. It is an oppression—sanctioned by Act of
Parliament or not—suffi3ient to "drive wise men mad," and
to create a spirit of dangerous exasperation among the indus-
trial poor from one end of the kingdom to another. LAKIN
has been again committed to gaol, under the warrant of a Mr.
CRESWELL and a Reverend Sir NIGEL GRESLEY, Baronet,
for non-payment of the rate, ss. 4d., and of course the
costs again,63.,6d. additional. We are told by grave commenta-
tors and Christian lawyers that " the law is the perfection of
common sense." See how it proclaims its common sense. A
meritorious but poor man (of the little furniture in whose
cottage not a stick belongs to himself, but is his landlord's)
is unable to pay poor- rates on a cottage, of which the rent is
31. 18s. per annum. There is nothing to levy on. There-
fore the Ashby-de-la-Zouch magistrates imprison
him for this offence, that not being able by hard o ork,
when he can get it. to keep himself and his family a chair
or a stool, or a supply of food adequate to the necessities of
human subsistence, he is unable to pay lls.- 10d., or one-
sixth of the whole amount of his rent, towards the support
of the clothed,- fed, and lodged paupers of his district, who
do not work at all. Perhaps it is a further aggravation of
his offences that he has the spirit to work, though he starve
rather than sacrifice his pauper independence by going into'
the union-house. Well, this is punishment enough. But
in the name of common humanity, is he to
be punished for anything beyond the infamy of being
too poor to support the poor ?—for being, also, too poor to con-
tribute to the overpaid allowances of some sleek magistrates'
clerk, or some burly sessions constable, by paying to those
functionaries for battening on his wretchedness just 120 per
eent. on the amount of his rate? This case is monstrous.
It would have well become the " Rev." Baronet and the
other committing magistrate—(this latter having previou'ly
signed, as it is stated by our correspondent, the other commit-
ment to hard labour, which received the just censure of Lord
LYNDHURST and Sir JAMES GRALIAM)—to pay the whole
exaction— the rate and the costs—rather than have bren in-
strumental to the exciting afresh that degree of public disgust
and indignation which such an affair as thiswill assuredly
challenge.

deed, the enormous actual amount of the reductions
effected: by the present Premier in
.the rates of duty on
various articles of very extensive and general consumption,
(some of them in the nature of raw material), within the last
two years, and a large proportion of the aggregate decrease of
Customs upon which only developed itself within the last
twelvemonths, we are entitled to assume that against
the positive decrease of income in this most
important branch of revenue, of 1,590,9504 on
the comparison of the year 1845 with 1844, there
is to be taken into account a rapidly expanding pro-

ductiveness of realised duty on the bulk of the articles which
still remain chargeable. In a few weeks we shall probably

have before us the means of ascertaining the specific commo-
dities on which this increasing energy has developed itself.
But we are further toremember that not more than two years
have elapsed since the present Government reduced the tariff
of produce and merchandise paying Customs by some hun-

dreds of articles. And last session the Customs' duties
on not leas than four hundred articles were entirely
abolished. The wisdom which determined on totally eras-
ing such articles from the list, on contrasting the amount
of net duty they yielded with the proportion ascribable to
them of the gross charge of Customs' collection, is no more
to be doubted now than it was at the time it was first de-

termined to try the experiment of so wholesale a fiscal
repeal. But it is surely to be acknowledged, that
a further contingent reduction of the last year's
yield of Customs' duty must, in fairness, be further allowed
for, inasmuch as from any of the various accidents which
govern such matters—caprice, fashion, popular taste or favour
—it is highly probable that by this time they would have
been contributing some sensible additions to the revenue.
But above all it ought to be remembered that the duty on
foreign corn during the last quarter has been next to no-
thing, while during the same period last year it amounted to
nearly a million sterling. These account sufficiently for the
apparent large falling off in the quarter's Customs.
Much of the reasoning which applies to the duties of Cus-
toms is equally valid as to those of Excise, in appreciating
their aggregate productiveness. Her MAJESTY'S present
Ministers might, in our opinion, in common with all their
predecessors in Government for the last one hundred years,
have reduced that most oppressive body of imposts, the Ex-
cise, toe far greater extent then they or those who have been
in office before them, have hitherto even contemplated. Vici-
ous in principle, extravagant in amount, arbitrary in col-
lection, the Excise is a costly and scandalous price to pay
even for the immense national benefit of the Revolution
Hof 1688. It is a tax which is accurately framed
to dip deeply into the till of the retail trader, whilst it seldom
or ever visits the strong-box of the wholesale dealer, or mer-
chant importer. It passes by almost imperceptibly the coffers
of the rich, but absolutely and rudely plunders the scanty
purse of the poor man, as often as he draws its strings to pay
' for the most indispensable articles of subsistence. But the
wars which the accession of King WILLIAM left as a rent-

charge on the legacy of our noble constitution have,'accord-
ing to the averment of every Minister since Sir ROBERT
WALPOLE, Said of every Government which has held office
under the House of Hanover, rendered it necessary for the
discharge of the public obligations to maintain this scheme of
taxation—not the less odious that it was originated under the
Long Parliament, cherished by CROMWELL, and in a century
afterwards excused by the Whig Ministers of GEORGE 11.
Ind whilst we venture to insist that more might have been
done by the Governments of Queen VICTORIA to mitigate,
if they could not wholly repeal this very odious branch
of taxation, we most readily acknowledge that the present
Minister and his colleagues have accomplished much in the
way of reduction even under this head. Mr. Gomuunsr, for
example, some years ago opened the beer trade, a proceed-
ing which, whatever may have been the partial inconveniences
that have resulted from it in the abuse of the beer-shop-
licensing system, must be allowed to have been a great boon
to the poor consumer. The present Ministry have, as in the
articles of glass, stained paper, small stamps, &c., struck off
various small branches of duty, the aggregate amount of
which is still so large as to make it matter of unaffected
astonishment to us, and we heartily congratulate the Go-
vernment on the fact. that upon the whole year there should
actually result an increase of Excise income to the
amount of 109,2704 minus an inconsiderable decrease
on the quarter of 5,7841. The Excise has now existed 200
years. The first collection (at that time not an annual] one)
was in 1643; and was as arbitrarily levied as all the other im-
posts collectedduring the arbitrary reign of CHARLES I. After
being still more severely exacted during the Protectorate,
and abused, increased, and misappropriated by that royal
misdemeanant, CHARLES 11., in his usual manner, it was
finally organised by Sir ROBERT WALPOLE, under GEORGE
11., in 1744. The product for Great Britain was then
?.750,000/. It is true that in the lapse of one century it has
now
,-2sen to 12,000,000/. and upwards. Nevertheless we
should be .flighted to see 1846 distinguished by a bold
effort at least to commence the total re-
generous, and large
peal of these duties.
On looking at the articles of decrease, in addition to the
that they consist of a frac-
tional Customs," we are glad to find
item of 160/. (on an aggregate Of more than 4,000,000/.
taxes), and 134,8281. on the amount of the Property-tax. At
the fact of this decrease, protesting as we have never ceased
to do, against the adoption of so unjust, so impolkic, so
clumsy (albeit it has proved so productive) an expedient for
enlarging the public revenue in the thirtieth year of an unin-
terrupted peace, as the imposition of a war-tax, we should
rather rejoice than grieve, did we not consider, for the rea.
s n assigned in our article of Saturday last, that this decrease
perhaps apparent, only, not real, and attributable in fact
to the remission of previously collected contributions on
incomes below the minimum of 1501. On the other hand, the
Post office shows an increase 0f16,000/. on the year, corrobo-
rated by a similar result, to the amount of 9,000/. on the quar-
ter. The Crown Lands, which have produced 10,000/ more
on the last than in the preceding quarter, exhibit an im-
provement, for the quarter just terminated, of 20,0001., a pro-
portion that warrants the assumption that the extension of
their net rental from 135,0001. to 145,000/. is by no
means the measure of their permanently improved value.
The " Miscellaneous " heads yield a total increase
on the year of 240,000/. The general result of this statement
is a decrease of 570,0001. on the quarter, but not more than
235,0001. on the financial year. We are sorry, indeed, to per-
ceive that there is a serious increase for 1845 on the " Charge
for Permanent Debt," as compared with 1844, amounting to
nearly 1,000,0001., and that that for Terminable Annuities has
diminished itself by only so small a sum, from what it stood
at for 1844, as 5,1001.

Our accounts from Madrid are to the 6th inst. Great
preparations were in progress for a grand levee to be held at
Court on the 19th, in honour of her MAJESTY'S birthday.
MAzziutEno, the Captain-General of Madrid, had left for
Paris on a mission, it was said, relltive to the proposed rail-
way from Madrid to Bilboa. The Political Chief had issued
a proclamation, announcing that the authorities had made
arrangements by which the fortl coming municipal elections
would be made with the utmost impartiality, and the law
enforced. No public•transactions took place on the Bourse.

The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the affairs of
A/glers and the fetter o garehal A volgrri. It h U atl•

mitted on all hands to be genuine, and strange to say, the
Government, i we are to believe the official journals, have
made up their minds to submit to the insult. Indeed, one
of these papers contains an a'ticle heaping the most fulsome
praises on this eccentric character. Had it appeared in any
of those not under the influence of Government, we should
have said its object was to turn him into ridicule. " Go,

brave and noble Marshal," says the Epoque, " pursue your

bright career, and rest assured that France will not forget
your services. Your name will remain attached to that land
of Africa which your arms have made illustrious, by the side
of those of Scipio, MARIUS, SYLLA, C.EsAn, and BELISA-

rays. The esteem and gratitude of the country will indem-
nify you for the passionate attacks of a jealous and ha-

rassing press; and those very attacks will afford you an
additional likeness to men whose memory dies not !" Tht

Journal des Debuts writes in a more sober strain, and

11-conceals the annoyance which this outbreak at the present
ime has caused to the Ministry. The following is 3n ex-
ract from an article in that paper on the subject :—"We

published without any remark the letter addressed by ➢iar-

shal BUGEAUD to the Prefect of the Dordogne, because wt
considered it unnecessary to attach to it an exaggerated

importance. The commentaries which have been passed on
it in several journals have not caused us to change our

opinion. First of all we cannot attribute to this private
communication any official character, and we cannot be-
lieve that it was destined,to be indiscreetly published as has
been done. We are well persuaded that if the Governor

General of Algeria had had any observations to make to the
Government under which he serves, he would have employ, d a
more regular eiannel, and used more easured language. We,
therefore, shad assie,.n to this; letta- its veritable importance in
considerins• tonly as one of t nese escentric out breaks to which
Marshal BUGEAUD has by this time accustomed every one.
Evidently l e roes not bear in mind in what times and in
what cru try we live. One would almost say that his long
soj ,urn out of Franca has caused him to forget its customs.
We say it sincerely, we regret to sse a man like him not
knowing how to accept better the institutions 01 his time;
we regret to see allied to such great quaities so great a •
feebleness of character." The KING, who, from all accounts,
has been greatly distressed by the disasters in Algeria,
has offered bursaries in the Royal College to such mem-
bers of 'he families of the officers who fell • as are
disposed to receive them. The Journal des Debats publishes
the following interesting account of the present position
of ABD-EL-KADER, and the preparations made to oppose him ;
but it is evident, from the statement, that these preparations
are made in the dark, as no one can tell on what part of the
frontier this enterprising and indefatigable thief will niake
his appearance :
" Our privrte letters and the African journals announce
that Abd-el-Kader passel by the little town of Nedroma,
f .ur leagues to the south-east of the port of Ghazaouat, on
September 24, the day after the catastrophe of Colo,el
Moutagnac, proceeding towards the Trara country, which
extsnds along the left bank of the Tafna. The Kabyle
tribes if the lafira submitted of their own accord in 1842,
wiihout combats or razzias, when Mohammed Ouled-
el-Scheik had recourse to the support of our arms to be
delivered from the tyranny ut Abd-el Kader. This
circumstance proves that they have not had any
other motive for their recent revolt beyond the
preaching of the fanatics sent from Morocco by Abd-el-
Kader before he appeared himself. Letters which appear
marked with exaggeration, attribute to him a feice of
10,000 men, of whom 4,000 are horsemen. In the Trara
country, he is within o days' journey of Lalla-Maghenra,
about the same distance from Tlemcen, and four days' march
from Oran; but he can reduce these distances one-half by
making forced marches with his cavalry. The ex-Emir had
attempted unsuccessfully in the spring to penetrate into Al-
geria by the south onthe side of the &ten, and he found him-
self obliged to renounce the attempt in consequence of the re-
sistance offered him by the Hamianes-Cheragas and the Lag-
houats, supported by the proximity of our columns on the hoe
of Sahara. At present he penetrates on the north-west, by the
sea coast, adroitly choosing the moment when the troops of the
Tlemcen division were occupied in put. ing down the insurrec-
tion fomented by his emissaries. Probably he hat,' no intention
of remaining in the mountains of Trare, which are neigbour•
ing to the sea, and where he would soon be hunted down.
We are apprehensive of hearing shortly that he has marched
towards the south-east, to revolt the province of Mascara, the
Hachem, the Djaffra, the neighbours of the Fittas, who them-
selves touch on the Beni-Uuraghres and the Ouaranseris
countries, where Bou-Maza, at the head of 1,500 horsemen
and 2,500 foot soldiers, according to General Lamoriciere's
estimate in his report. The different corps destined to stop
his march, to turn his flank, and to pursue him, in order to
prevent his attempting to reinstate himself in the country of
nis ancient power, the column of General Bourjolly, re-
inforced_ by two battalions, is posted on the Mum, having in
a second line the column of Colonel St. Arnault,
the commandant of Orleansville. General Re-
veu, who commands at Miliaiiah, proceeds to Chelif,
behind Orleansville, to watch the extremity of the
Ouaranseris chain of mountains. On the lower Mina we
have the Kahle Side el Arabi, an inveterate enemy of Abd-
el-Kader, with six hundred horse. In the district of
Tlemcen General Cavaignac, whom Colonel de Barrai has
joined, has taken his position on the Western laser, a day's
march to the north of Tlemcen, on the way to Trara. Ge-
neral Lamoriciere, who has arrived at Oran with two bat-
talions, has also taken an excellent position. He has been
