South Wales, abounding ie natural harbours and Mineral pro-
ductions, and celebrated for the magnitude and excellence of its
manufsctures, is justly esteemed, both in a naval and commercial
point of view, as one of the most important districts of Great
Britain.
Its connexion with London' has become of such paramount im-
portance as to demand the most direct and perfect communication
that can possibly be established. This is the main object of the pro-
posed under taking.
This Railway will proceed from London to Hungerford by the
Great Western Railway, there leaving that railway and running
almost in a straight line by Marlborough, Caine, and Chippenhain,
where it will again join the Great Western Railway t thus giving to
the towns of Marlborough and Caine (which at present have no
railway) a direct communication with London ; and also with Bath,
Bristol, the South Western Counties of England and South Wales.
Frem Chippenham the line will pass near Chipping Sodbury,
and proceed to the Bristol and Gloucester Railway at Weaterleigh
(about eight miles II•om Bristol), and by a junction with that rail-
way the direct line from London to Bristol will be completed.
Front Westerleigh the line will he continued to the river Severn at
Aust, and be carried across that river by means of the fixed bridge of
the Bristol and Liverpool Junction Railway. On the Monmouth-
shire side of the river it will proceed for another half mile over the
river Wye, direct to, and terminate at, the South Wales Railway,
near to hunger Pill. This last half mile will of itself effect a saving
in distance between London and South Wales of about four miles.
By taking advantage, as far as possible, of existing railways, this
project will complete at once the most direct and best trunk-line
from London to Bath, Bristol, anti the South-Western Counties of
England ; but mere especially to Chepstow, Newport, Cardiff, Swan-
sea. Miltbrd Haven, the whole of South Wales, and Ireland.
The following are the savings in distance effected by the proposed
line t—
lietween London and 'Rath, via Hungerford, the pro-
posed line as far as Chippenham, and the Great
Western Railway
Between London and Bristol, via Hungeribrd, the

Wales Railway to Hunger Pill • ..... about 16 miles.
Between London and the whole of South Wales, via
tile Great Western, and the Bristol and Liverpool
Junction Railways ••.•••••••• • • • ,• • • ..
These great saviagt in distance are by no means the principal
features of the undertaking. By this direct communication between
London and Bristol the Box tunnel will be entirely avoided, an im-
portant Pact which will no doubt have a most powerful effect with
passengers.
Moreover passengers to and from South Wales Will be enabled to
travel at all times by means of the fixed bridge over the Severn at
the Aust or Old Passage; thus Voiding on the one hand the well-
known dangers, inconveniences, delays, and difficulties of the open
ferry of two miles and a half, at the New Passage, proposed by the
Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway Company; and, on the
other hand, the tunnel of about a mile tinder the Severn, proposed by
the south Wales Railway Company, Which (even if capable of con-
struction) must ever leave the public apprehensive of accident.
Reference to a Map will clearly demonstrate that the great stream
of passengers and traffic between London, Bristol, the South-Western
Counties and Ireland will flow through the proposed line and South
Wales to Milliard Haven and Flahguard Harbour. The establishment
,of Valentia, as the chief out-pert to the Canadas and the United
States, will moreover eremite a traffic, via South Wales, never hitherto
contemplated. But Supposing Valentia should not become that out-
port, there can be no doubt that Milford Haven, front its extreme
western position and natural advantages, must.
Independently of the passenger traffic above referred to, the fact-
'Was Which the line will afford to the unequalled iron works of
South Wales, and the extensive copper and tin works of Swansea and
Tenth must induce the manufacturer to transmit his goods with
saMy, economy, and rapidity by rail, rather than with hazard and
delay by sea.

.A.neiv and most important market will be opened to the owners
of collieries in South Wales. Newport will be brought within 129
utiles of London ; and it may be confidently asserted that the Metro-
polis will draw an immense supply of coal from that neighbourhood,
inasmuch as coal of most excellent quality can be delivered in Lon-
don from the Welsh collieries at about 15s. per ton.
The principal advantages of direct railway communication between
important termini are now too universally admitted both by Parlia-
ment and the public to need argument. Many important direct lines
have been already favourably received; but when the savings in distance
—the avoidance of a ferry and tunnels—the new channels for traffic—
the giving of railway accommodation to a large district—and the
establishment of the most direct and complete communication be-
tween London and Bath, Bristol, and South Wales are recollected—
and especially that these important benefits can be obtained by the
formation of a live fifty-two miles only in length—it is confidently as-
serted that the proposed railway holds out advantages superior to
any hitherto projected, and will at the same time prove, if not the
most, one of the most profitable investments ever offered to the
public.

The subscribers will be held liable only to the extent of their first
deposits, until an Act of Parliament is obtained, and afterwards only
to the amount of their subscriptions.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this
Company shall be under the management and control of the Com-
mittee of Management, as appointed.
Power will be applied for in the Act—and in the meantime is
hereby given to the Committee of Management—to Increase the
capital, if necessary ; to alter or abandon any part of the line, to
make branch lines, or enter into arrangements with any other-com-
pany or companies ; and also to nominate the first Directors of the
Company.

The Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement will be
ready for signature on payment of the deposits.

1 cruelty so much less a disqualification for the master of

venial its to be altogether unworthy. df theirnetide
What is the true secret of the tardy perceptions of the
Assistant Commissioners as to the bearing of the de.
positions, and of the gravity of the charges ; and of the
precipitancy with which, borore the accused can be heard
on his defence, the Assistant-Commissioner and assessor of
the evidence is Withdrawn from his post ? And this;
brings us. to our second hypothesis What if
M•gotruer, should hereafter be able to prove himsdf
not guilty of the offences imputed to him ? How will
the Somerset House Commissioners answer- for the
moral injury they will have done to him, by deserting
him after so distinctly playing, through Mr. PARKER,
the. part of his counsel ? And when we speak .of
counsel and Mr. PARKER in connexion, we are curious
to learn what Mr. PARKER'S notions may be of
the respect due to members of the bar, or
how he reconciles, with any of the usual
modes of certifying that respect, his abrupt departure
from Andover, without any previous intimation to the
counsel retained by Mr. WESTLAKE of his inability
(under orders from head-quarters) to redeem the pledge
he was under to these gentlemen of concurring in cer•
min ulterior arrangements that had been made between
them and himself for tbe future conduct of the case ?
As to the letter of the Assistant-Secretary to the Com-
missioners, it is conceived in a tone of the •most patro,
nising superiority. Its evident intention is to throw
upon the board of guardians the onus of the
choice of legal proceedings against M'DOUGAL.
If Mr. WESTLAKE and the Board would be
guided by our advice, we should recommend them,
in the first place, to require an apology from the Com-
missioners for the discourtesy shown to themselves and
to their counsel by 'Mr. PARKER'S conduct, and, in the
Second, DECIDEDLY. TO DECLINE the option of prosecu-
tion, obligingly tendered to them by the Commissioners.
Let the guardians. leave M4DonoLL's case where it Is.
We undertake to predict that the Poor-law Commis-
sioners DARE NOT to do so. It is worth exactly the
tenure of their offices at Somerset House to throw out
such a challenge to public opinion, as to pause at the
point to which they have committed themselies in the.
matter.

Madrid journals of the 4th have been received, but their
contents had been anticipated by the telegraphic dispatch
published yesterday. The stockbrokers continued their op-
position to the new vstem of finance adopted by Senor MON,
but, nevertheless, a good deal of business had been done on
the Bourse, chiefly in the Three per Cents., with much fluc-
tuation. herhad fallen'at one time, wilbio two'daye, from
323/ to 31, and many anticipated they would yet be lower.
A singular proclamation had been issued at Barcelona by the
new Captain-General of Catalonia, General BRETON, which,
according to the papers, had spread consternation through
that city. The preamble of this bando says, that in the pre-
sent political state of Spain the ordinary laws are too mild
to preserve her from the misfortunes with which she is
threatened, and the articles decree—that all persons who shall
conspire against the Government, the Constitution, or laws,
shall be shot immediately their criminality is proved—that the
use or detention of prohibited arms or weapons, including
sword canes, and pointed knives, even those without springs,
shall be severely punished—that every person without known
means of subsistence, and also Workmen who are found in
public-houses daring the hours of work, shall be punished
as vagabonds—that all smugglers, with their accomplices
and receivers, shall be severely punished, whatever may be
their condition—that all robbers and thieves shall be
promptly and exemplarily punished—that all gamblers,
whatever may be their position in society, shall be treated
as vagabonds, as well as' all keepers of gaming-houses--that
all arms shall be delivered up to the Aleadee within three
days, under severe penalties—that the use of bludgeons and
staves is equally forbidden—that in case of any disturbance
all persons in the employ of the Government shall imme-
diately repair to their chiefs, and be at the disposal of the
superior authorities, of Barcelona, to be placed in the fort of
Atarazanas, or in any of the other towns and places.

The principal topic of discussion in the Paris papers is the
leasing of the Northern Railway lines. The Journal des
Debats and also the Presse are satisfied with the result.
The former, after expressing regret that the adjudication of
this line had been so long delayed, says :—" All men of right
comprehension will find the terms of the contract satisfac-
tory. The conditions accepted by the Company contain
clauses equally favourable to the State and the public. As
to the period of thirty-eight years, one word will be sufficient
to bring conviction of its moderation. The Chamber thought
it was too short, and suggested forty-one years, yet the. Com-
pany has acceded to this very term which the Chamber re-
jected. This fact alone is at once a reply to all that the spirit
of party or bad faith may advance. In fine, in our opinion,
there is every reason for congratulation in every respect on
the conclusion, which places an undertaking so vast as this
railroad in the hands of a COmpany whose power and solidity
no one can dispute. This is what was required above all
things for the security of the public, the interest of the State,
and the benefit of the finances." "It is probable," adds the
Presse, " that if the fusion of the companies had not taken
place, the ardour of competition might have produced a di-
minution of a few years more. But would there have been
a serious company ? Would there have been any guarantee
against the inexplicable variations of the Bourse, against
panics of shareholders,• against the evil chances that may
, assail any enterprise of this importance and duration ? It is
' not too much to entertain doubts on the subject. In this
point of view sensible and practical men will not regret that
union has taken place, even should it cost a few years addi-
tional to the State, which besides always profits indirectly by
the prosperous working of railroad lines." The National,
however, takes a very different view, and asserts that the
public-have been robbed of an annual revenue of more than
half a million sterling for 38 years by the blundering and
stupidity of the Minister of Public Works. It thus entlea-
yours to make good the charge :
" The comparison of the two adjudications which took placi yes-
terday within a few minutes of each other is worthy of note.' For
the northern line, M. de Rothschild had &qcdmpetitor ; the Mi-
nister alone had the power of forcing a serious reduction. In this
position what has taken place ?--a diminution, scandalously im-
perceptible. For the Fampeux line, on the contrary, there was a
serious competitor, and M. de Rothschild entered on it boldly,
offering a diminution of 37 years from 751 And yet, notwith-
standing this enormous reduction, the adjudication slipped from
him, and fell to the lot of his rival, still bolder than be. Thence
follows this consequence, evident, undeniable, and clearer than the
light of day—that if there bad been for the northern line a
competition of any kind whatever, if the Minister bad thought
fit to place in his sealed packet anything but the mockery of
a maximum, M. de Rothschild would have consented to a consi-
derable reduction. Since he offered to take for half the time
fixed by the Chamber the Fampoux line, which every one declared
to be unproductive, he would certainly have taken the northern
line also for half the maximum fixed by the Chamber, or 21 years,
giving, as it is sure to do, the large returns that every one knows.
The difference between 21 and 38 is 17, and it is, therefore, 1 T
years' income that the Minister of Public Works has gratuitously,
in other words, voluntarily abandoned. It is an annual revenue
of eleven millions, according to hie own calculation; of 12k ac-
cording to that of the Committee ; of 13i according to our com-
putation; that he has gratuitously, in other words, voluntarily
given up to MM. de Rothschild and his associates.
Yes, if the
Minister of Public Works had done his duty; if, in conformity
with the positive wishes of the Chamber, he had called forth the
competition which was wanting ; if, at least, he had not placed in
his pocket the faculty of reduction intrusted to his honour, the
State would not have suffered the enormous loss which it now 'suf-
fers ; it would have effected a saving of about 200 millions, which
are now going to swell the enormous fortune of certain opulent in-
dividuals."

*eh, firm, and well supported.
In the accounts brought over this Morning from the United
States some considerable iitre6 aid tipon the alleged war=like deinnnStratioiii between the Republic and Mexico. The
Oonithercial letters, howeirer, treat the subject with something
like 'laical% as it is held to be a certainty that were a hostile
denionatration itallY intended, soniething Mora *Mild be done
than the marching and Counter-marching of a few forces, and
the preparation for active service of a vessel of war. It is
true that the Mexican Consul at I'ieW Orleans had leftj and
the representatives of the Republic in other ports had tbl,
lowed the example; but why the cause of all this speed in
neglecting their duty at a time their presence might be most
essential, is not explained. It Is fairly presumable that the
usual protection wouldagorded to these officials
which is accorded pursuant tithe doctrines of civilized war-
fare,-even though hostilities were abruptly commenced by the
United States. The present advices sav not a word about
what would be the course of our Minister at Washington
under the circumstances. Intercession to accommodate
matters, would probably be the policy to be pursued, but
upon this subject of course scarcely anything but rumour was
current in the capital of the United States.
It does not appear that the alarming rumours previously
circulated relative to a deficiency in the cotton crops are
borne out, as the markets for the staple were very tranquil,
with but little business doing.. How this fact tallies with
the immense speculations which have taken place recently
for a rise at Liverpool, and the probable results of these
leave a word or two to say
immense time bargains, we
on another fitting occasion.
The Consol market continues extremely steady, at 98%
IA for Money. The Account Price is merely nominal, not a
single time bargain having been reported this Morning. The
premium upon Exehequer-bills has fluctuated only from
485. to 465. India Stock has advanced from 269 to 271.
There is a steady demand for Portuguese Stock, still the

Ttie general tone—of the market for Railway Shares is
rather better to=day. The trading shares have if ueftteted
only slightly, as will be shortly stated. The various settle-
ments in the new issues of scrip, though somewhat numerous;
have gone off well. The London. and Birminglisitti Shares
bare been steady at former prices. The: North Midland
are firm ; the Great Western also] as • well as the
Mfyyoeeter; -Buxton, and Matlock, which are at 834 lA-

THE TRitiMPHi OF STEAM.

Sortie
of the journals are rejoicing because-,--thanks to
steam-boats itfid steani-lcidornotivesthe Queen has
travelled over a large -Orden of the Ccuillinent at a very
rapid rate. In Our humble opinion a much greater cause
for congratulation is presented in the fact that the Corh
.gxaminer of Prislay, in acknowledging the enterprising
spirit of Messm Johnson and Co., of Dublin, states that
it bad that morning received The Sun, expressed by
them from Dublin, in seventeen hours. This is marvellous.
The entire distance, by sea and land, which that copy
of The Sun had traversed is nearly 450 miles, via
Dublin. This gives an average "of twenty-six miles per
hour, exclusive of all toppages, which we may estimate
at certainly not less than a couple of hours out, of
the seveutsen. The Sun newspaper has established
a high reputation for the quick transmission of
news, but this last effort crowns all--,-London to
Cork, via Dublin,. in seventeen hours 1 We re—
collect the . time . when the mail-packet between
Holy head and Dublin was sometimes a week on its
voyage. What political power, what social strength, is ,
there involy; d in the great' fact that the communication
from the south of Ireland to the seat .of Government in
England, can ba made in a feW-hours 'lt is obvious
that if The Sun can be carried
.from London to Cork in
less t4iin than, seven, or eight years ago, - the stage-
coaches carried a person from London to Liverpool,
soldiers and the muniments of war can be conveyed in the
same mode, and at equal speed. • llebellion is "worse
than a crime'.'—it is a blunder if attempted against such
means of instantly putting it down. London to Cork,

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

THAMES, SOUTHEND, AND NORTH-EASTERN

JUNCTION.

CHELMSFORD, THURSDAY.—Last evening a meeting of the
merchants and other traders resident in this town, was held in
the large room of the Saracen's Head Hotel, with a view of
ascertaining from those locally connected with the district
their opinion as regards the above undertaking.
Mr. J. COPELAND took the chair, and described the various
schemes in embryo for supplying South Essex with railways,.
The one from the Blackwall Railway, through Rochford to the.
—__ river Crouch, would pass through a district not much populated.
Another scheme was a line from the Eastern Counties Railway
at Brentwood, by Billericay to Southend; which, though pro-
- ceeding almost in the same course as the previous one, yet, in
its construction, it would save a vast expense in not continuing
its works up to London. A third project was of a more eaten-
- sive character ; vie., the Metropolitan Junction Railway, to
26% run a circuit of twenty miles round the metropolis, commencing
13% at the river Thames, and to connect all the railways leading into
London ; and although it might be a well-considered and suit-
- able line, still he considered that none of them would be so
conducive to the benefit and prosperity of the county and other
neighbouring ones, as the project before them. It was to con-
_
nect by a direct communication the north-west with the south-
- east portion of the county, as also the Midland and Northern
Counties of England, by way of Ely and the Northern and
Eastern Railway, an undertaking which could not but result in
success.
_ Mr. T. TAPPING, Middle Temple, next addressed the meet-
- ing, and observed that the proposed line was for the purpose of
establishing a direct line of communication from the populous
and rapidly-increasing watering-place and commodious seaport
of Southend, and proceeding thence to Chelmsford. and there
crossing the Eastern Counties Railway, proceed towards the
north-west to Dunmow, and form a junction with the Northern
and Eastern Railway, at or near Saffron Walden, with branches
from Rochford to Burnham, Great Beddow to Maldon, Dun-
mow to Braintree, and Coggeshall, to join the Eastern
Conn-
- ties Railway at or near Marks Tey, and from Dunmow to
Bishop's Stortford. There were already two lines leading
into the county from London, and the one then under their
notice was immediately across it, forty miles in length. con-
- necting both railways, and affording a ready and quick transit
from the north-west to the seuth-east, extreme points. As
6-
14 regarded the branches, they were of the utmost importance to
6% the prosperity of the project, as also the county. Burnham
afforded many facilities for a good seaport, and there was
draught of water enough to float a ninety-gun ship. The
fisheries were very extensive at that place, as also the oyster
trade ; and the promoters anticipated a large return in con-
_
Toying such a description of provisions to the metropolitan
and provincial markets. The Maldon branch, in rendering a
quick mode of conveyance of the produce of that port into the
interior of the county, will also greatly augment the traffic on
the main line, while that from Dunmow, Backing, Coggeshall,
and Bishop's Stortford, would ensure as great a return in the
passenger and goods department. There would also be con-
- siderable traffic in cattle, merchandise, and foreign goods, and
- the engineering features were favourable.
Mr. Moss, Mr. Durrant, and others, addressed the meeting:
resolutions were passed in favour of the project, and a Provi-
.. sional Committee was appointed to promote it.

PRESTON AND WYRE.

FLRETWOOD, special general meeting of
- the Proprietors of the Company was held yesterday at the
Crown Hotel, Fleetwood, to consider the propriety of forming
- an eatension line from Fleetwood to Lancaster, in order to con-
nect the former town and port with the several northern lines.
There was a pretty witnerous attendance of Proprietors. In
- the absence of Mr. C. Itoyds, Mr. F. Kemp occupied the
- chair. The Chairman laid before the meeting a plan of the
- projected line, a cursory survey of which had been made by
- Mr. Park and Mr. Bidder, and requested Mr. R. Jones, the
secretary, to read the engineer's report, which was to the fol-
lowing effect : They recommended that the proposed branch
- should commence at a convenient point near the Fleetwood ter-
- minus of the Preston and Wyre Railway, and cross the Wyre
- by a bridge erected on piles, with a proper provision for the
passage of vessels navigating above the town of Fleetwood,
which will open out a beautiful district of country to parties
- visiting the town of Fleetwood, and he of incalculable ad-
- vantage to the landowners on the opposite side of the Wyre,
- and continuing to a point of junction near the Lancaster and
1: Carlisle R iilway, near the town of Lancaster, the entire
4,,s length being about fourteen miles. Mr. W. Birley
.
3 ( Nlanchester) enumerated some of the advantages,
- among which was the great trade which it would afford with
- Kendal and Glasgow, through Lancashire. Besides, the sum-
- mer traffic to Fleetwood, Lytham, and Blackpool, there would
be much local traffic from this district, which was remarkably
_ fertile, and abounding in corn A line had been advertised to
334 take up their property at Fleetwood, and carry a lice to Gar-
- stang, and therefore it was necessary to strengthen their posj-
- tion, and prevent any party from competing with them for the
whole of this district." On the motion of Mr. Hornby, se-
conded by Mr. Burridge, a resolution was carried, empower-
_
- ing the Directors to proceed with the Extension, the cost being
- estimated at 170,000/.
BRISTOL, THORSDAY.—Yesterdav Mr. George Hudson,.
M.P., accompanied by several of the iJirectors of the Midland
Railway, visited this city, for the purpose of inspecting the
works lately the property of the Bristol and Glou-
cester Railway Company, leased to the Birmingham and
Glou-
cester, mad subsequently to the Midland. He stated that it was
- intended to alter the gauge. and introduce the narrow for the
present wide gauge between Gloucester and Bristol. Another
matter was also mentioned as being connected with Mr. Hstd-
son's visit to this locality, namely, the intended conversion
- if the Kennett and Avon Canal into a railway. This day Mr.
- Hudson had an interview with our mayor and several of the
leading merchants of the city upon the subject of the docks.
The citizens have long complained of the exorbitant charges
_ Imposed
by the Dock Company, and a few days age memo-
- rialised the Mayor to adopt such measures as he should deem
- expedient for remedying the evil. The interview was private,
- but I learn from a gentleman who was present that Mr. Hudson
- entered heartily into the question, and offered, if required, to
subscribe very liberally
towards the accomplishment of the oh-
_ jest which the citizens of ltristol have at heart. He feels, and
- indeed expressed himself to the; effect, that the port of ristol
- is the proper place of import and eXport for all foodswhich
may come from and go to Birmingham, itnd even paces
aces
farther
a
- north, and that, therefore, the rate of charge: for
accom-
modation; ought to be such as to place Bristolistoi dock
ccom-
-9 af."ting
- with other large and more favoured ports in the kin m
kings

could be no doubt of the great utility of the scheme sub-

Oldbury.
NOTTINSHAV AND LINcor.N.---The contracts for the ;Or'
mation of this railway were laid before the Directors of the
Midland Railway, at their meeting et the Derby station, hel
on Tuesday last, when the tender made by Messrs. Smith and
Holland, railway contractors, Leicester, was accepted, and the
line, accorchng to the terms of the contract, is to be opened on
the let of June next, for the use of the public.
LONDON AND BtamisewAm.—ln consequence ef the nu.

ordered chronometers to be mad.', with a view to ti.eir bllog

CHAIN-DROPPING IN ST. JAMES'S PARE.—Thurs-
day afternoon the following stale trick was played of upon a lady
residing in Piccadilly :—The lady is a stranger in London, and
was resting on one of the seats in St. James's Park, when a gentle.
manly looking man came and took his seat by her, and entered into
conversation. He suddenly left his seat, and apparently picked
from off the ground a small paper parcel, upon opening which there
appeared a handsome gold chain, studded with turquoise, .and
rings and brooch to correspond. A bill of parcels was also
inclosed, from which it appeared that the articles had cost 10J. 15s.
The gentleman expressed hie readiness to divide with the lady, but
the difficulty was how to do so equally, and proposed very gallantly
that she should give him 2/. for his share, to which she foolishly
consented. Upon showing them to a Jeweller she was informed
that they were real Birmingham, and worth about eight 07 ni"
0.4131 P.
