traffic on the old lines—the junctioss of many new railways projected
and in formation—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 inadequate to general accommodation ; there can
be no objection on public grounds to the construction of a dinct 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 Leicester it will pass through
important mineral and mining districts, and the coal and other natu-
ral productions of Derbyshire and Staffordshire will be immediately
available for the population along the whole line.
From a point in the Tean 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, Manley, Newcastle-under-
Lyne, Burslem, and Tunstall, se as to form a junction with the Grand
Junction Railway, and make this railway the best communication,
not only between London and Manchester, but also between London
And Liverpool.
Many influential persons connected with the Potteries have urged
this step as the only one that will enable them to get directly and
speedily to London and Liverpool.
For seven years this large and influential district has been endea-
vouring to get a route to London ; every proposed scheme has been
rendered abortive, either by its internal insignificance or bad ma-
nagement, and become a mere article for speculation without the re-
motest 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 noblemen and gentlemen on the route have for the greater
part expressed their unqualified support of the line, by :means, of
which, and the advance of railway science, the expense of formation
will be rendered comparatively light.
It is the intention-of the promoters, without absolutely 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 complete the
journey in the shortest possible time.
This line will therefore be completely independent of ether 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 be 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
ibwillnecessarily- be an undertaking of magnitude, it is, at the same
time, one of large promise, and likely to afford very great remunera-
tion to shareholders.

The acting Committee of Management cannot allow the present
opportunity to pass without congratulating the numerous friends of
this line on the further recognition, by Parliament, of the principle
of direct independent lines of railwsys in their decision in favour of
the preamble of the London and York project.

,/ DENT RAILWAY, with a BRANCH through the
POTTERIES to CREWE.
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 leading cold-
masters of Staffordshire have proposed to this Company, that in the
event of the line being established, they will guarantee a clear annual
profit of 50,0001. for the conveyance of coal to the London market
alone, and they assert (though it forms no part of the present pro-
posal) 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. Gd. per ton,
which would ensure to the metropolis a supply of coals at a price
most materially below.the present cast.
The Committee feel it right to make this announcement, because it
is one of the early practical illustrations in proof of the great public
which.the Cominiftee must confidently anticipate from the
establishment of this important national project.

PRELIMINART ANNOUNCEMENT.
RAILWAY FROM MACCLESFIELD,
passing close to the Towns of Leek, Cheadle, and Uttoxeter,
to the Trent Valley Railway north of Lichfield.

PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED.
The Line will commence at the Terminus of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard
Reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Cowan,
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 pap will show that this will be the most direct
line for the Lond and Manchester traffic, uniting these two great
1
termini by the sho est practicable route in connexion with existing
railways, will completely accommodate the local traffic, and throw
open several exte ive Coal fields and some thousand acres of Wood
land to Manclidier, the Potteries, and other great marts of the
kingdom. i
,
This Line is al6 in some of its principal features the same as that
already approt 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
from
or
any ether existing Railway. This and the proposed Line
Crewe to Derby will also well accommodate the Potteries, giving is
that important locality a direct route to London, Birmingham, and
the South, to Liverpool and the North, and to Derby and the East,
slid 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
Gaunt, Esq., Highlield House, Leek ; or to Thomas Tumor, Esq.,
Abbots Bromley, near Uttoxeter. 1

Capital, 3,000,0001. in 120,000 Shares of 251.
Deposit, 1/. 7s. 6d. per Share.
The line will commence at or near Newbury in Berkshire, and pro-
ceed from thence in a direct course to Taunton ; thence by Tiverton
to or near Crediton, Okehampton, and Hatherleigh, Launceston,
Truro, to the port of Falmouth, with a continuation of the line from
Truro, by Redruth, to Penzance. The towns of Devizes, Lavington,
Ludgershall, Marlborough, Warminster, Westbury, Bradford, Trow-
bridge, Frome, Bruton, Wells, Glastonbury, Sheptoa Mallett, Castle
Carey, Somerton, and Langport, and the populous villages in their
vicinity, now destitute of the benefits of railway communication, will
have these advantages conferred upon them, and be placed in imme-
diate connexion with the metropolis.
The rich agricultural and mineral districts of Devon and Cornwall
will have similar advantages ; and London will be connected with the
city of Exeter, and the ports of Plymouth, Falmouth (the packet
station of the empire) and Penzance, by the shortest and most direct
route.
The proposed line will also unite the Western districts of the Sing-
dom with Wales and the North and North-eastern districts of the
country ; and be is the Great Western Railway that which the Trent
Valley is to the London and Birmingham and the Grand Junction
Railways.
The wide gauge, the natural one of the WePtern counties and 'of
Wales, will be adopted ; and such portions of the Great Western
line -as unites Newbury with the Metropolis, and Taunton with
Tiverton and Exeter, will be connected by junctions with the Op-
posed line.
A distance exceeding thirty miles will be saved by the contem-
plated line between London and Exeter.
The Prospectus, with the list of the provisional Committee of Di-
rectors, will be issued early in the ensuing week ; in th interim, com-
munications are to be addressed to the Secretary, at the Office of the

Lord Redcsdale, on the 17th •Tuly;in evidence before the Com-
mittee of the House of Lords on the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver-
hampton Railway, stated his objection to the Worcester line ;
amongst others; that it passed by Witney, leaving Witney, near Ox-
ford, which had now become a large manufacturing town, without
the advanta,:c of a railway, the effect of which would be most detri-
mental to its interest.

FRUIT SEASON.—The experience of past years
having proved the advantage, at this season, of acting upon
the advice of the Faculty, in the substitution of weak Brandy-and-
water, as an ordinary beverage, for Beer or other fermentable
liquors, and at no greater cost, J. T. BETTS, jun., and CO. trust
that they need only to caution the publiC against any of the spurious
articles offered for sale being foisted upon consumers in lieu of their
Patent Brandy, and, at the same time, to refer to its superiority and
economy for preserving fruit.
BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY is protected against fraudulent
substitution, when sold in bottles, by being secured with the Patent
Metallic Capsules, embossed with the words "BETTS'S PATENT
BRANDY, 7, SMITHFIELD-BARS." Purchasers of single bottles,
at 3s. Gd. each, cannot be too particular in observing that the Cap-
sules are so embossed.

(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 shires. 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 arc 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 to 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.
All applications to be made in the under-mentioned form, and ad-
dressed to Messrs. Sale and Worthington, solicitors, 90, Fountain-
street ; or to Messrs. Duffield, Lofthouse, and Whitworth, accountants,

Sir,—For the last three or four years I have been labouring under
a nervous deaftiess, so much so at times as to be almost incapable of
hearing. After trying several very eminent aurists, from whom I de-
rived scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend,
to try your excellent Eye Snuff. I accordingly procured one of your
4s. 4d. canisters, after taking which I found considerable benefit, so
much so that I sent for two more, which, having used, I found my
hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf since. I should
mention that the time I commenced taking your Eye Snuff was in
April last, and have continued taking it since.—l am, Sir, your obe-
dient servant, W. H. ADAMS.

SECOND CALAMITOUS FIRE AT
QUEBEC.
It is with feelings of the deepest concern that the Committee in
London for the relief of the sufferers have to announce to the public
the occurrence of ANOTHER FIRE IN QUEBEC, almost 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 Com-
mittee have received from various quarters the most distressing ac-
counts of this second fearful calamity, and of the dreadful misery
entailed by these two conflagrations upon nearly 20,000 of our fellow-
subjects, 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 al••eaay reached them in behalf of the sufferers from the
first lire, take leave to remark that the contributions, though liberal,
are from a comparatively few corporations and individuals ; they do,
therefore, trust that this further severe di4peusation of God's Provi-
dence will awaken a far more general sympathy in behalf of the
sufferers, as without a ranch grt ater assistance in money, clothes,
bedding, &c., the Committee are assured that many of the poor must
inevitably perish in the course of the coming winter.
The Committee 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 e.:LAND.

FELLOW-COUNTRYMEN AND FRIENDS,

Scarcely had the inhabitants of Quebec began 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 firs 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, and fed by 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, almost 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 dwerings, two places of worship,
three school-houses, and numerous stores and outhouses, nothing
remained but blackened chimneys, roofless walls, and piles of ruins.
The burial-wound of the Protestant population has been traversed
by the fire, and its wooden and marble memorials of the dead to a
great extent injured or destroyed; and in passing through this dis-
trict, which lately contained the homes of 0,000 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 landward 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 upon 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 of their means, our fellow-country-
men will feel that our present further appeal to their charity is npt
without too just a cause. Still are we using every exertion within
our ability .to alleviate the public, misfortune; many have tied for
vugdfigt&a_sity which appears to* them to be under a doom, or have
.
bitants who have received them ainheigaVertkiatill%
them long, and they will probably return to the city before the
winter.

Looking forward 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 level 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, mu.3t long remain what it now is, an almost ruined
an.nepepulated city. With that aid, and with the assistance ex-
pected frem the Imperial Parliament, and that promised by the pro-
vincial government 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.

Q,IIOO-rING.—The heather-coloured JACKET
of Llama Wool retains the principles of Shape given ht
Registered I'aletot. There are many gentlemen who have no liking
for field sports, yet would much incline to the Registered Jacket, it
not confining the chest and giving a general sense of freedom ; no
slight recommendation for the library •r the early morning walk in
the country; but the Registered Jacket, for the purpose designed,
viz., shooting, is truly good. The Heather recommended, but many
patterns may be seen at most of the agents in the principal country
towns, or at the spacious Warehouses, 114, Regent-street, London.
