MEETING AT LYME REGIS.

On Monday the Mayor, Captain Bennett, RN., con-
vened a public meeting, pursuant to a requisition from
the local Board, to take into consideration the present
state of the Lyme Regis and Taunton Railway, and
Lyme Regis Harbour Improvement Company, and to
receive from Messrs. Waring and Goddard, the deputa-
tion to the London Board, their report of the same. The
worthy Mayorhaving been called to the chair, introduced
the object of the meeting.
H. F. WARING, Esq., after detailing the whole of the
operations of the Managing Committee to the present
time. and their intentions for the future, stated that
little doubt was entertained that the Company would re-
ceive the Government support, and that in a few weeks
?um would ha
of refuge as would form a complete barrier to any rival
scheme in the next session of Parliament, and tinily
the following session the measure would be so carefully
prepared and matured, as to ensure its final adoption as
a great national work.
The following resolution was then moved by EDWARD
0. LEE, Esq., and seconded by JOHN DRAYTON, Esq.,
" That the thanks of this meeting begiven to the London
Board of Directors for the courtesy displayed in their
attention to the wishes of the meeting of the 12th inst."
—Carried unanimously.
Sir HENRY BAYLEY requested that his thanks might
be given to the Board of Directors in London, as well as to
the public of Lyme Regis generally, for the way in whist)
his name was alluded to, both at the public meeting and
in the minutes of the London Board of Directors. Sir
Henry referred to the delicate position in which he was
placed with regard to his previous connexiest with a
competing line, and intimated that the time might not
be far distant when the barrier to his taking a more
active part in the affairs of this Company might be
removed.

It was then moved " That the project of the Lyme Regis
and Taunton Railway, and Lyme Regis Harbour Im-
provement Company, continue to receive the support and
cordial co-operation of the inhabitants of Lyme Regis."
Mr. BURFOOT pointed out the! advantages of this mea-
sure to the merchant, to the manufacturer, and, above all,
to the mariner who, having gone into distant regions for
supplies of wealth for his native country, too often
perished within sight of his own dwelling from the want
of a harbour of refuge, after encountering the dangers of
a foreign climate and a tedious voyage. He touchingly
dwelt upon the dreadful sacrifice of life and property
that had come within his knowledge during the last forty
years from the want of such accommodation at this
place, all other ports in the west bay being bar har-
bours, and utterly unsafe for vessels to enter in gales
of wind.
The thanks of the meeting were then voted to the
Mayor for his kind service on this and previous occa-
sions, and the meeting separated.

We understand, upon 'authority which cannot be
doubted, that the North London Junction Railway Company
and the Eastern Counties Railway have adopted measures
which will advance their mutual interests. It has been re-
solved by the contracting parties that a branch line shall be
made from some point on the Eastern Counties Railway in
the parish of Bow, to the North London line at Islington ;
thus the Eastern Counties obtain a western terminus at Pad-
dington, and the North London Junction a powerful ally,
and ,as we have good-reason to believe, a valuable accession
of capital. It; is now therefore certain that a continuous and
unbroken line will be formed from the terminus of the Great
Western at Paddington to the Eastern Counties—a link
which, in point of fact, connects the East and West of England.
Nothing could be better devised than Nicoll's Re-
gistered Paletot to suit the ever-variable nature of our cli-
mate, forming, as it now does, not only the sine qua non of the
railway traveller, but is equally so adapted for any gentleman
taking out-door exercise. It may be said distinctly to mark
the costume of the nineteenth century, if that is rightly
called marked which is only conspicuous for an unpretending
and graceful bearer, the wearer feeling so much at ease.
Certainly as an over-coat it is patronised highly, and is also
a general public favourite, being as peculiarly English, and
avoiding all foreign extravagance of style. It must
be acknowledged as a vast improvement over the
old great coat, associated in our remembrance with an
uncomfortable sensation of tight buttonings, which, from its
very clumsiness, defeated its object, the warmth of the per-
son, as interfering with the proper circulation of the blood.
The principal hues are black, blue, brown, and olive; also
the clerical mixture, called Oxford, and can be had of the
patentees, or only of the most respectable clothiers out of
London. Every winter paletot is three guineas, and is
stamped in the lining with the words, " Registered 6 and 7
Vic., cap. 65. H. J. and D. Nicoll, 114, Regent-street
London." _ .
