traffic on the old lines—the junctioa of many new railways projected
and in- tbrmation—the approaching completion of the Scottish and
Northern lines—the progression of railway communication in Ireland,
new and immense sources of traffic will be necessarily poured in on
lines indirect and inadevitte to general sccommedation ; there can
be no objection on public grounds to the construction of a direct line
between London and Manchester. On the contrary, every reason
for its energetic support.
From Leicester' to Bedford and London, It will intersect • a rich,
populous, and fertile country, at present without railway communi-
cation to London, while northwards of Leicister'it will pass through
important mineral and mining d'sti icts. and the coal and other natu-
ral prodactiOns of Derbyshire and Stairotaishire will bi immediately
available for the population along the whole line.
From a point' in the Teen Valley, near Cheadle, it -is intended to
carry a branch railway through the Staffordshire Potteries to Crewe,
by way. of Lane-end, Stoke-upon,Trent, Hanley, Neweastle-nnder-
liyno, Burstein, and Tunstell, seas to form a huiction with the Orand
Junction Railway, and make this railway the best • communication,
not only between Loudon and Manchester, but ale* between London
and Liverpool.
Many influential persons connected with the Pot ides have urged
this step &tithe only one that will enable them to get directly and
speedily to London and Liverpool. •
.Forseven years :his large and influential district has- bean endea-
vouring to get a route to London ; every' peel:ased scheme has been
rendered abortive, either by its internal insignificance or bad ma-
nagement, and become a mere article for speculation without the rv
tivAest adaptation to the wants of this great industrial population.
Had any one of the many projected schemes .succeeded, it would
not bear the comparison for one moment In point of real soundness,
utility, and public benefit to the Potteries of the present undertaking.
The noolemen and gentlemen en the route have for the greater
part exprelsed their • unqualified support of the line, by imeansi tot
which, and the advance of railway science, the expense of retaliation
will be rendered comparatively light. •
It is the intention of the promoters, without absoltitely binding
themselves,' to adopt the atmospheric principle and broad gauge,
Should such be approved, or to take any gauge or means that will be
economical in working and give high speed. • Any ornamental pro-
perty on the line will, as far as possible, be respected. • .
The distance, under 177 miles, will be accomplished in. about three
and a.half hours, and no exertion will be spared to v.:mil:dote the
journey in the shortest possible time.
This line will therefore be completely independent of other lines,
making made,- or to be -made; and the delay and inconvenience
attendant on stoppages, the caprices of rival companies, &c., will be
thus avoided. .

It will he the most direct, the speediest, the most economical.
And .the promoters feel convinced that a calm consideration of the
matter on its merits will satisfy all that this original line of an able
engineer will be a railway of unequalled public utility, and that, if
it will necessarily be an undertaking-of magnitude, it is, at the same
time, one of large-promise, and likely to afford very - great reraunem-
tionlo shareholders. •

The Committee of Management have the pleasure to announce, as
one instance among many of the great public advantages likely to re-
'Sult.froM the carrying .out of this railway, that certain kakis( coal-
`matters of Stafibrdshire have proposed to,thig Company, that in the
event of the line being estahlished, they will guaraptee a clear annual
profit of 50,0''0/. for the conveyance of' coal to the London market
alone, and they assert (though it forms no pert' of the present pro-
-10551) that another 50,0001. per annum may be realised from other
markets: In the event of such contract being accepted; they propose
•to deliver their best coals in the 'London market at 12s. 6d. per ton,
which would ensure to the metropolis a supply of coals at a price
most materially below the present cost.
The Committee feel it right to make this "announcement, because it
is one of the early practical illustratio, in proof of the great public
utility which the Committee must confidently anticipate from the
establishment of this important national project.

• n AILWAY , FROM' MACCLESFIELD,
... .
ll• passing close to the Towns of Leek, Cheadle, and Uttouter,
to the Trent Valley Railway north of Lichfield: •
• , PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED:

The Line will commence Id the Termittits of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by. the Rudyard
Reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to• Conseil,
thence close to Cheadle and Tean, and by .Uttoxeter, Bagots Woods
and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent
Valley Railway north of Lichfield, communicating near there with
one of the proposed lines from Dudley er Wolverhampton.
A glance at the map will show' that this will be the most direct
line for the London and Manchester traffic, uniting these 'two great
termini by practicable route in connexion with existing
railways, will completely accommodate the local traffic, and throw
open several extensive Coal fields and some thousand acres of Wood
'land* to Manchester, the Potteries, and other great marts of the
kingdom. -•-•
This Line is also in some of its principal features the same as that
already approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned
by the Churnet Talley Company—will not comprise more than fifty
miles of Railway, and passing through the centre 'of' the unoccupied
'part of the district; does not interfere'with the Grand Junction or
any ether existing 'Railway; This and the proposed Line from
Crewe to Derby will also well accommodate the Potteries, giving is
that important looality- a direct route to London, Birmingham, and
the South, to Liverpool and the Xorth, and to Derby 'and the East.
and will also afford a transit for the Eastern' counties traffic from
Derby to Manchester. The co-operation of almost all the principal
landowners from near Uttoxeter to near .Lichfield having been ob•
tained, this portion of the line may be considered as secure.
A most :influential -Provisional Committee, -consisting of land-
owners.and.manufacturers, and others locally interested, will shortly
be published. In the meantime references may be made to Matthew

(With power to add to their number.)

This Company is originated on data supplied by official returns,
obtained from a majority of the leading cities and towns in the king-
dom, exhibiting an almost nominal risk in drapers' establishments,
and is based upon the principle of excluding all extra hazardous
risks ; but power is intended to be vested in the Directors to accept
(if they think proper) applications for general insurances, where the
risks can be clearly shown not to exceed that of a general draper's es-
blishment.

The effect of a preliminary canvass has been to obtain large pro-
mises of support in different districts, both by intended insurances
and subscription for shares. It is believed, also, that (rejecting all
extra risks) the Directors will be in a condition to materially reduce
the premiums payable for insurances.
A small portion only of the capital is intended to be called for, and
the proprietors are to be entitled to Interest on the same, and to one-
third of the clear profits; one-third being also retained to consti-
tute a sinking fund, and one-third distributed in bonuses amongst the
assured."
The liability of the shareholders to be effectually limited t• the
amount of their subscription to the Company, the usual protective
clause being inserted in all policies issued.
It is intended to give a preference in the allotment of shares to
parties interested in the drapery business, and an early day is ap-
pointed for the allotment.

.SECOND CALAMITOUS F. IRE-- AT
QUEBEC.
It is with feelings of the deepeat concern that the Committee In
London for the relief of the sufferers haie to announce to the public
the o::currence of ANOTHER FIRE I. 14: QUEBEC. "ahnost equal,
both in extent and In the value of property destroyed, to that which
took place on the 28th .of May, only a Month before. The Coin-'
inittee have received from various quarters the most distressing ab-
counts of this second fearful calamity, and of the dreadful misery
entailed by these two conflagrations upon nearly 20,000 of our felloW-
sulljects, but at present they confine themselves to a reference to
the subjoined second appeal from the Committee of Correspondence
at Quebec.

The Committee, whilst acknowledging with gratitude the aid
which has alreaey reached them in behalf of the sufferers from the
first fire, take leave to remark that the contributions, though liberal,
are from a comparatively few corporations and individues ; they do,
therefore, trust that this further severe di,pensation of God's Provi-
dence will awaken a far more general sympathy in behalf of the
sufferers, as without a much 'gr ater assistance in money, clothes,
bedding, &e., the Committee are assured that many of the poor must
inevitably perish in the course of the coming winter.
The Conimittee will shortly announce at what places in town con-
tributions of clothing, bedding, &c., will be received for transmission
to Quebec.

TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF
GREAT BRITAIN AND IR &LAND.

FELLOW-COUNTRYMEN AND FRIENDS, --
Scarcely had the inhabitants of Quebec begun to recover in some
degree from the horror, confusion, and dismay of the conflagration
on the 28th May last, which compelled them to make their former
appeal to your benevolence, when it pleased an overruling Provi-
dence to visit them with another similar and even greater calamity.
On the night of the 28th June, nearly the whole remaining part of
the suburb of St. John, which
_the former fire had spared, and a
large part of the suburb. of St. Lewis, were reduced to ashes ; begin-
ning, as on the former occasion, at the extreme windward point of the
suburb, andYed 15y a gale of wind from the eastward, (to which quar-
ter the wind had changed in the evening of that day, after blowing
from the westward for nearly a fortnight), the fire spread
with irresistible fury. through the length and breadth of both
suburbs. The buildings, ahnost entirely of wood, fell before its
rage with even greater rapidity than those on the 28th of May. In
eight hours, of more than 1,200 dwellings, two places of worship,
three school-houses, and numerous stores and outhouses, nothing
remained but blackened chimneys, roofless Walls, cud piles of ruins.
The burial-ground of the Protestant population has been traversed
by the tire, and its wooden and marbre memorials of the dead to a
great extent Miured or destroyed ; and In passing through this dis-
trict, which lately contained the homes of 9,000 inhabitants, neither
man, woman, or child is now to be met, except a few .stragglers
from curiosity surveying the desolation. Several thousands of those
whose dwellings had been destroyed in the last conflagration had
here found shelter by the kindness and hospitality of their charitable
fellow-citizens; and were thus again driven forth, involved in one
common ruin with those who had harboured them. The morning
of Sunday, the 29th June, dawned upon More than 15,000 people
whom the flames had left without shelter or food, scattered,.with the
effects they had been able to save, over the fields and open spaces
without the walls, or flying to the neighbouring settlements. As on
the former occasion, a third part of the city has fallen a prey to, the
flames; and Quebec on the latalwani side is reduced to limits net
much larger than it possessed when Wolfe fell before its walls. But
the last calamity may be said to be far greater than the former, as
falling upon a large number of those who had suffered then, de-
priving them of their last shelter, consuming a larger amount of
property, either uninsured or for which the owners, being them-
selves holders of stock in the insurance companies, Must bear their
own loss, and utterly destroying the resources of a large class of the
population who would have been still able to succour those who had-
been cast upoit their charity,

If, as stated in our former appeal, the contributions of those who
had then come forward to the relief of the sufferers had reached, or
perhaps even exceeded the limit a their means, our fellow-country-
men will feel that our present turther appeal to their charity Is not
without too Just a cause. Still are we using every exertion within
our ability to alleviate the public misfortune ; many have tied for
ever from a city which appears to them to be under a doom, or have
found present shelterin other parts of the province ; but the Mika-.
Wards who have received them are themselves too poor to keep
them long, and they will probably return to the city before the
winter. •

Looking for Ward with- alarm to the state in which we Shall be
when the winter comes upon us, with two-thirds of the city in ruins,
and nearly two-thirds of its population, of the productive and indus-
trious classes, reduced almost to the jevel of pauperism, but yet
anxious to keep and maintain them among us, and to recal those who
have gone away—we again appeal for aid to our fellow-Subjects. With-
out their further aid, Quebec, the resort of an amount of British ship-
ping larger than in any transatlantic port, and an extensive mart of
British commerce, Elitist long remain what it now Is, an almost ruined
and depopulated city. With that aid, and with the assistance ex-
pected from the Imperial Parliament, and that promised by the pro-
vhacial gbvernment for present relief and towards rebuilding the
city with materials less liable to destruction by fire—and with our
own vigorous exertions, we yet hope, under the blessing of Provi-
denCe, that it may in the lapse of no long time regain something of
its former prosperity, and even find its present unexampled calami-
ties issuing in its lasting advantage.
