EASTERN COUNTIES EXTENSION RAIL-
WAY, from WARE to PETERBOROUGH Direct, with

extensions.

(Provisionally Registered.) '
Capital 1,000,000/., in 50,000 Shares of 201. each.
Deposit, 21. 2s. per Share.
Shareholders not to to be liable beyond the amount of their shares.
This line is intended to be wade 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, Buntingford, 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 communi-

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
amongst other benefits this line will form a direct communication
between two of the largest cattle markets in England (St. Des and
Smithfield), and as the London market is in a great measure sup-
plied front the market at St. Des, it will be apparent that great re-
turns will be derived from 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
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 necessity 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. Des, Cambridge, and Peterborough.
The want of railway accommodation has been felt to press unfairly
upon the inhabitants of the several impwlant 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
to Thomas Smith, Esq., solicitor, 15, Furnival's Inn, London ; George
Weller, Esq., solicitor, King's-road, Bedford-row, London ; and

This railway will commence at the station of the Monmouth and
Hereford and Worcester and South Wales Junction at Ross, pro-
ceeding through a rich agricultural district, now devoid of railway
accommodation. to Abergavenny, and from thence by Llanelly,
Tredegar, Ebhw Vale, Rumney, and Dowlais to Merthyr
Tydvil, at which place it will join the Taff Yale Railway. The dis-
tance will not exceed 411
On reference to the map it will be seen that this line, in conjunc-
tion with the proposed Worcester and South Wales Junction, via
Ledimry, Malvern, and Ross, will perfect a continuous and direct
communication from Merthyr Tydvil to London, Gloucester, Bir-
mingham, 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 mineral field
1,200 square miles in extent, producing upwards of half a million of
tons of iron ore annually, and wholly dependent for its supplies upon
the agricultural counties of Monmouth, Hereford and Worcester.
The necessity for a line of railway on the north of the iron works
affording a direct route to London and the North, is admitted by all
interested in or acquainted with this important district: this deside-
ratum will he supplied by the present p-oject, and in conjunction
with the Taff Vale Railway it will also afford a means of communi-
cation with Cardiff, fram which important shipping port a large por-
tion of the district has been hitherto shut out.
The line will be laid down so as to render the greatest accommo-
dation to the principal ironworks in the district through which it
will pass, and to afford them the shortest means of access to the
principal markets of the kingdom.
Arraegements have been made with the Directors of e oead-
s-
ter and South Wales Junction Railway Company, for themutual
vantage of both Companies.

The establishment of the above railway will effect two great
and important 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 class,
travelling at velocities varying from fifteen to fifty miles per hour,
and new railways being almost daily projected as feeders tom the
be
great trunk lines, the already prodigious traffic on those
assumed
lines ust
be still further augmented ; so that it may
truly ,
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 coals 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

The extreme fluctuations to which the price of coal is subject
nre
from irregularity in the supply, dependent as it is on the u
tainty of the winds and weather, has hitherto operated againstthre-
estabishment of manufactories on the banks of the Thames. Fromtal
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 275. 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 is an important con.
sideration, as it will necessarily render the navigation of the
Thames safer for all other vessels: a
rsend itde. mans
r valid objec
tion
to to this undertaking, that it will supeeat m
the employment of collier ships, because it is now ascertained, be.
yond all doubt, that coals can be brought to London by railway at
20 per cent less than those seaborne; and, therefore, London will
be supplied from Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and South
Wales, unless the present project, or one offering equal advantages
to the northern coal-owners, in their certain and
fast approaching
competition with the Infant collieries, be carried into effect.
In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afforded
to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods,
which will materially increase the revenue of the Company.
The estimated cost of the line is 5,000,0001, and the traffic, in
coals alone, will give a net return of 10 per cent.
It is proposed to raise the required capital in 200,000 shares of
251. each ; deposit 21. 12s. 6d. per share, the subsequent calls to be
made in the usual way.
The customary clauses will be inserted in the Act, limiting the
liability of the shareholders to the amount of their respective
shares.
Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum will be allowed
on all calls between the passing of the Act and the opening of the
railway,
The Committee, with the view of enabling responsible parties
(desirous to participate in the allotment) to secure at least some
shares in this great undertaking, will permit the payment of a pre.
liminary deposit of 10s. 6d. per share previous to application being
made; and will guarantee that the parties so paying, shall have
shares allotted them, to at least the number upon which the sum
paid by them as a preliminary deposit, shall cover the full deposit
of 2/. 12s. 6d. They, however, reserve to themselves the right of
limiting this privilege to the extent of 100 shares, if a larger
number should be applied for, or even of refusing it, in cases
where they may find, on inquiry that the applicant is not in their
judgment eligible to be a shareholder ; in such cases the deposit
will he immediately returned ; nor will this privilege be extended
beyond the disposition of 100,000 shares, after which the bankers of
the Company will receive instructions to refuse preliminary de-

way from Merthyr-Tydfil to join the Worcester and South Wales
Junction Railway at Ross, as set forth in the Prospectus of the Wor-
cester and Merthyr-Tydfil Junction Railway, is calculated essentially
to promote the prosperity of this town and neighbourhood, inasmuch
alit will perfect a main trunk line of railway to Worcester, Bir-
mingham, London, and the north of England, and thus afford an
advantageous cutlet for the minerals of this district, and an inlet for
the agricultural productions of the counties of Monmouth, Hereford,

previous misery, parted with all the " goo.is and chattcl
that the distress-warrant eculd have been levied on. 01
the facts coming before the Houses of Parliament, the Lord
Chancellor in one of them, and the Home Secretary in the
otter, expressed strong opinions, we find, on the illegality, as
well as the inhumat ity, of the decision which themagistrates
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
sharged and ordered by the magistrates were, :is. "for their
clerk, and Is. 6d. 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—sufaHent 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, 6s. 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 work,
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
why, in the name of common humanity, is he to
be punished fur 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
cent. 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 previously
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 Gualust)—to pay the whole
exaction—the rate and the costs—rather than have been in-
strumental to the exciting afresh that degree of public disgust
and indignation which such an affair as thiswill assuredly
challenge.

We find, on further examination of the Revenue re-
turns, grounds for confirming the favourable conclu,ions
at which we arrived as to the generally prosperous
condition of the finances of the empire. Considering, in-
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 1,590,9501., on
the comparison of the year 1845 with 1844, there
is to be taken into account a rapidly expanding pro-
luctiveness of realised duty on the bulk of the articles which
;till 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 less 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 snch 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-

cue, to a 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
of 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
WALPOIX., and of every Government which has held office
.ender 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.
And 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. GOULBURN, 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 109,2701., minus an inconsiderable decrease
on the quarter of 5,784/. The Excise his 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 collected during 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 WatroLE, under GEORGE
11., in 1744. The product for Great Britain was then
3,750,000/. It is true that in the lapse of one century it has
now tisen to 12,000,600/. and upwards. Nevertheless we
should be delighted to see 1846 distinguished by a bold
generous, and large effort at least to commence the total re-
peal of these duties.
On looking at the articles of decrease, in addition to the
"Customs," we are glad to find that they consist of a frac-
tional item of 1601. (on an aggregate of more than 4,000,0001.
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 impolitic, 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.
son assigned in our article of Saturday last, that this decrease
is 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 0f16,0001. 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 135,000/. 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
235,000/. 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 1,000,000/., and that that for Terminable Annnities 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.
MAzzAnzno, the Captain-General of Madrid, had left for
Paris on a mission, it was said, relative 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 fort► coming municipal elections
would be made with the utmost impartiality, and the law
enforced. No public transactions took. place on the Bourse.

BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner EVANS.)
JOSEPII V. WILLOW.
Mr. BUCHANAN made an application, under the Small
Debts Act for a warrant of committal, upon the ground that
the defendant had neglected to comply with the order of
Court in pa) ing the instalments.
An affidavit of the facts having been put in,
Mr. Commissioner EVANS granted a warrant to apprehend
the defendant.

IN RE BRAIN-A BANERITPT.

to ,

This was a meeting to consider whether the bankrupt
certificate should be received. The bankrupt was an eminent
engraver, and the case has excited some interest from the
fact that some engraved plates of great value were stolen from
the efficial assignee's office, but afterwards recovered, and the
parties convicted of the offence.
Mr. LAWRENCE, for the bankrupt, said that the certificate
was adjourned to make inquiry as to certain leasehold pro-
perty alleged to belong to the bankrupt, but assigned to a
brother-in-law named James. It appeared that a piece of
ground, situate in Old-street, had been obtained from the Dra -
pers' Company, upon condition that certain houses should be
erected upon it within a given time. The bankrupt at the
time was in better credit than James, and undertook to obtain
the materials necessary for building. An agreement was
drawn up, but never completed. Mr. Lawrence contended
that the property was only held by the bankrupt in trust for
James.
Mr. Commissioner EVANS granted the certificate, observing
that if the property really belonged to the bankrupt, the as-
signees could take proceedings to recover it for the benefit of
the estate.

SOUTHWARK.-(THIS DAY.)
Jeremiah Clarke was charged with throwing a ginger-
beer bottle at Mr. Saville, while performing at the Victoria
Theatre.
Mr. Saville stated that on the preceding night, as the
performance was about to conclude, a ginger-beer bottle was
thrown from the back of the gallery, and was so near striking
him on the head that a portion of the rinsings of the bottle
went over his face. There was a general cry of " Shame"
through the house, and soon afterwards the defendant was
taken into custody.
Two witnesses were examined, who stated that they heard
the defendant hissing the performance as it proceeded, and
that he at length flung a ginger-beer bottle at Mr. Saville,
who was the only performer on the stage at the time.
The constable of the theatre stated, that when the defen-
dant was pointed out to him in the gallery, he declared, with
an oath, that he would not be taken, and at the same time
was observed to throw away two ginger-beer bottles of a si-
milar description to that which he bad previously flung at
Mr. Saville, as above described.
Mr. JEREMY having in severe terms censured the conduct
of the defendant in throwing such a' missile, which might
have killed the person at whom it was thrown, adjudged him
to pay the full penalty of 51., and in default committed him
for two months.

CLERKEN WELL.—(TRIS DAY.)
A lad, named Sullivan, was charged with a most daring
robbery in the house of Mr. James blasden, a beer-retailer.
in Cromer-street, St. Pancras. It appeared from the evi-
dence, that about nine o'clock in the evening the prisoner
entered the house of the prosecutor, and asked for a short
pipe. One was given to him, and Mr. Masden having at the
same moment been called from the bar, the accused, with
extreme dexterity, bounded on the counter, and seized from
a shelf a bowl containing a quantity of silver, with which
hen ads off. Very soon afterwards the prosecutor missed his
property, and suspecting the prisoner, with whom he was
well acquainted, he called in Carter, 140 S, and went with
that officer in search of him, and in the course of the even-
ing they met with him in a coffee-shop. There was a consi-
derable sum found on him, amongst which were two half-
crowns, which the prosecutor positively identified.
The prisoner denied the charge.—}le was sent to Newgate
fa trial.
