WADE'S LONDON REVIEW,

The Number of this Review for the present month
excellent, and contains a great variety of interesting
anti valuable matter. It opens with the introductory
chapters of a Greek classical romance, entitled, "Am.
bition," the hero of which is Erostatus—

The aspiring youth, who fired the Ephesian dome."
This tale, which is full of incident, and is written
in a pure and classical style, is not unworthy the pen
of Walter Savage Landor himself. We have in a re-
view of " Osborne's Guide to the Azores and the
West Indies," a most instructive and amusing account
of' the various places visited by the packets of the
Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, on their route
out and home. From an elaborate review of
"'Tiers' History of the Consulate and Empire," we
extract the following passage :
" M. Thiers is a man of quick parts and frequently sa-
gacious discernments, but he is behind his time, and does
not comprehend it. It is not an age of enthusiasm or
illusion; but of utilities, especially of the utilities that
multiply material comforts, enjoyments, and conve-
niences. This is not less tho bent of nations than of
their rulers. European thrones were never so exem-
plarily filled, by princes who are a model to their sub-
jects, and intent on advancing their enduring interests.
In lieu of building iron fortresses, and barricading their
fronti
they are seeking to open them, to connect
states
the strongest tie of peace, the power to minister
ebrys,
to their mutual wants. France herself is fast catching
the prevailing spirit, becoming commercial and industrial,
despite of the little agitating demons, who, intoxicated
with their own tropes and rhetoric, try to divert her
from peaceful arts. By conquest, she can reap no new
laurel ; twice she has overrun Europe ; and the empire
of Napoleon was not less ephemeral than that of Charle-
magne. In modern warfare there is little field for true
glory, hardly any scope for heroism. It is a brute
slaughter; only disgusting, not inspiring. Ever since
the days of the Chevalier Bayard, war has been becoming
more of the nature of a battac, a mechanical butchery on
a large scale, by the united aid of balls, powder, and
steam. The attacking column, by which most battles
arc won, is a battering ram of human beings, almost as
insensate, with just as little power of volition, affording
just as little opening for the coward to flee, or the brave
to reap distinction, as that ancient engine of destruction.
There is no fascination, nothing for the imagination in
this worn-out game of royalty ; it is a dull death's feast,
and men will won begin to revert to its dismal horrors,
with the same revolting feelings that they looked back to
cannibalism, human sacrifices, or other bloody rites of 5
clack and sav-o age."

Dispatches from the Governor of New South Wales, and
also from the Governor of New Zealand, were received on Sa-
turday at the Colonial-office.

traffic, if it do not engross the whole. The cost of the stone and
expenses of delivery by the canal from Froghall to the iron district,
amount to 7s. per ton, and by this railway, after allowing a remu-
nerative toll, would be laid down at less than 4s. per ton.
_

The visitors to the Peak are alrea.ly very numerous. Let this
romantic scenery (which may be justly termed the Switzerland
of the centre of England) be opened to the Indus rious artisans
who chiefly compose the great hives of population with which this
railway will communicate. Let this beautiful scenery be made
easily accessible to this class of persons at a trifling sacrifice both
of time and money, and the revenue from this source alone
during the summer months will be found to be of no inc.nisider.
able amount.

The projectors feel convinced that this railway contains the ele-
ments of great prosperity, and that as an investment it offers more
than ordinary security. There can be no doubt of a profitable
return for the capital, and the nature of the country presents in-
superal le obstacles to the formation of any other ;ine which can
materially compete with it.
Applications for shares, in the following form, accompanied by
a satisfactory reference, may to addressed to the secretary, and

PROSPECTITS.
The imperative necessity, alike in a social, commercial, or political
point of view, for drawing as closely together as possible the capitals
of England_ and. Ireland, has suggested the formation of the brand
London and Dublin Approximation Railway,—a line, the value of
which it is difficult to over estimate, since n will be found to take a
nearly direct course from the English metropolis to Holyhead. it
will pass through or near the populous and noble county town of
Shropshire (as yet unprovided with railway communication), and
will traverse along its whole extent districts second in wealth, re-
sources, trade, and commerce, to none in the empire ; bring them
morenearly and immediately in contact with London and Dublin,
than has hitherto been thought possible. This project is wholly in-
dependent of imy other line already before the public, and as it
possesses national advantages which nine can surpass, must, when
carried out, become, without exception, the most important railway
in Greit Britain.
One of the first objects of this Company will be to obtain a most
central and accessible terminus in London, mid Farringdoti-street hes
been fixed upon for that purpose.
It is Troposed to make a tunnel from that point to the Great Western

NAVAL 1N TELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. s.—The Superb, 80, Captain
Corry, will leave the harbour to-morrow; she would bave
lett yesterday, but it blew too hard for her.
The Amazone, Prussian corvette of 12 guns, Captain
Baron Derchinck Holmfeldt, remains in the harbour,
but will sail to-morrow for atntsie. Yesterday the
Baron gave a superb defamer on board to a most bril-
liant and distinguished circle, comprising his Excellency
Chevalier Bunsen, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary from the Court of Prussia ; his Excel-
lency Count :ichatigot, Prussian Ambassador at the
Court of Tuscany : Chevalier B. Hebeler, Prussian
Consul- General ; Baron Thile, Secretary to the Prus-
sian Legation ; Count Arnim, Attache ; M. Van den
Bergh, Prussian Vice-Consul at Portsmouth, &c. Ad-
miral Sir Charles Ogle, the Commander-in-Chief, was
invited, but did not attend. On the distinguished visitors
going on board the yards were manned iu most excel-
lent style, and hearty cheers given, which ceremony was
repeated on their leaving the vessel, when her noble
captain received the congratulations of his visiters upon
the order and efficiency of his ship, and the splendour of
his entertainment.

In consequence of this vessel having been brought into
harbour on her arrival with her powder on board, all
the pilots at this port have been since supplied by the
Commissioners of Pilotage with the printed instructions
upon the subject, cautioning them of the consequences of
a violation of those regulations.
The Fairy Royal yacht tender, Master-Commander
Roberts, went out of harbour yesterday morning round
the Spit buoy and down the Solent for some short dis-
tance, to try a new description of screw, which, we are
informed, was found to answer admirably.
The Harlequin, 16, was undocked after the Superb
was finished, to complete her refit for the pendant.
The Carysfoot, 26, has received her masts, and is
ready for commission.
The Osprey, 12, Commander Patton, since she has
been on the China station, has had trials of sailing with
the flag- ship Agi::court, 72, the Vestal, 26, the Daedalus,
20, the Wolf, 18, the ,Cruiser, 16, and the Wolverine,
16 ; all of whom she beat. The Osprey was one of the
experimental brigs built in this dockyard on the design of
Mr. Blake, the late master shipwright.
The Alban steam troop-ship, Lieutenant-Commander
Lowe, arrived at Pill, Bristol, on
-Wednesday, from
Cork, for volunteers.
The Apollo troop- ship, Commander Radcliffe, sailed
nn Tuesday from Cork pith the 731 Regiment, for the
Cape of Good flop 6.

to Stratford-on-Avon, there joining the proposed line from Warwick
and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of
England; continuing its course through Alcester, the line will go di-
rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic
fir the mineral and manufactaring, districts of South Staffordshire,
Shropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed line does
not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does,
an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance
of the undertaking needs no further comment.
Negotiations have been entered into with the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway Company, by which thoir support and co-operation will
be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed.
An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby,
Warwick, and Worcester Company, which thi, line will join at Al-
costar, and by means of which the Eastern Countios traffic will pro-
ceed to Worcester.

Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any
other existing or prOecting Companies, or to vary the line.

It is satisfactory to the promoters to state that they have the sanc-
tion of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the
Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire Junction, and
the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no project has
been announced in competition with its acknowledgedelahn on public
support.
The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and can be
constructed at a moderate cost, and has olitained the approval of the
landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly pro-
tected.

Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the
Company will be under the direction and control of the Committee of
Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into such arrange-
ments as shall best serve the interests of this Company, and the public,
with existing or projected Companies, and also to nominate the first
Directors of the Company.
Power will be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of
shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow four
per cent. Interest on the calls.
Preference to the allotment of shares will be given to those locally
interested, and to the shareholders of lines in connexion with this.
No application for shares can in any case be attended to, unless
reference be made to one of the Provisional Committee, the Solicitors,
Bankers, or Brokers of the Company.
Applications for shares, In the usual form, to be made, no ater

and the north-west of England, with the eastern lines of railway,
with Oxford and the south, and with Worcester and Wales.
The main line will communicate from the London and Binning
ham Railway, near Harrow, and, passing to the north of Uxbridge.
will proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham,
to Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury, from which.
place it will extend to Buckingham, and, approaching Brackley, wil!
terminate by a junction with the proposed Warwickshire and London
Railway, near Banbury. In connexion with this part of the line, it
is proposed to improve the communication between Aylesbury an '
London by taking a direct line from Aylesbury to Tring.

In addition to the line above described, it is intended also to con
struct a railway from the station of the London and Birminghamr.
Railway, at Bletchley, through Bicester, to Oxford. From Bletchles
to Bedford a railway is in course of construction by the Bedford ant
London and Birmingham Company, and from Bedford communica-
tions eastward are proposed. . .

The proposed BuCkingham and London and Birmingham Railway
Company is amalgamated with this Company.
Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert
Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difilcu ty
of importance presents itself.
The undertaking has already received the sanction and support
a very large proportion of the nobility, gentry, and proprietors
land, through or near whose property it is Intended to pass.
It is proposed that these lines should be made win the co-opera.
tion and under the direction and superintendence of the London and
Birmingham Railway Company, under a lease in perpetuity, at four
per cent. per annum on the outlay, with an equal division of the sur-
plus profits.
It is intended to allot the shares to the holders of scrip in the
London, Worcester, and South S'afforshire Railway Company in
certain proportions, subject to the approbation of the Committee ri
Management, such shares as may be required for parties having 10c.,'
interest being excepted.
No further applications for Shares can be received.

OLYMPIC.

The palmy days of the Olympic are revived. This
delightful little temple of the drama has always
flourished under lady management, and under lady
management it opened last evening for the winter
season. The present lessee, Miss Kate Howard, has
taken the theatre, and she pledges herself to re-
store it to the high position which it once held in
general estimation—a pledge which, judging from the
performances of last night, we doubt not she will re-
deem. The interior has been entirely redecorated; and,
at the present moment the Olympic is one of the
most elegant of the metropolitan theatres. • The
dress-circle is entirely separated from the rest of
the house, so that those who are located within
its precincts cannot be intruded on by the pro•
fanwn vulgus ; and a commodious tiring•room
has been attached to the private boxes, the entrance to
which is in Craven-street. The company is a strong one.
We have James Browne for light comedy and melo-
drama—Brookes and Tumour for old men—George Wild,
funnie3t of mortals—and Cockerill for eccentrics and low
comedy—that sterling actor, Waldron, fur serious parts;
and among the ladies we have that delightful actress,
Miss L. Melville, as the leading lady for melodrama, and
the fascinating manageress herself for soubrette parts
and light comedy. The musical department is under the
direction of A. Lee. The piece chosen for the open-
ing was a new local melodrama, entitled The Queen of
Bohemia, founded on a romantic love affair in the
reign of Charles the Second, between the Queen of Bo-
hemia and the Earl of Craven, whose mansion, in which
the scene of the drama is laid, stood on the very spot
now occupied by the Olympic Theatre. It is a stirring
and interesting drama, and was admirably supported by
Miss Kate Howard, Miss L. Melville, James Browne,
George Wild, and Cockerill. The scenery was beautiful,
and the costumes magnificent. Nothing could exceed
the care with which the drama was put upon the stage.
After the excellent old farce of Frigl,t3ned td Death,
which was excellently acted, we had a new burlesque
from the pen of Leman Reda, entitled The Boyhood of
Bacchu'. When we say it was written by Leman Rede,
and supported by Miss Kate Howard as Bacchus, and
by Wild as Momus, it is needless to add that its success
was complete. Previous to the performance of the
Queen of Bohemia, an opening address, written by Leman
Rede, was spoken by Miss Kate Howard and George
Wild. The house was crammed to suffocation.

FALMOUTH.—In the course of last week upwards
of sixty vessels from various parts of the world called at this
port for orders. The pilotage alone paid for these vessels at
the low average of 5/. would amount to 3004 which for the
most part is distributed amongst a valuable class of indus-
trious men, whose services are of a most important character.
A short time ago we heard of forty vessels calling for orders
in one day. A large Dutch steam-vessel of war is now here,
preparing to proceed to Batavia, under the directions of the
R Consul, R. R. Broad, Esq.—Penzance Gazette.

PROSPECTUS.
The imperative necessity, alike in a social, commercial, or political
point of view, for drawing as closely together as possible the capitals
of England and Ireland, has suggested the formation of the Grand
London and Dublin Approximation Hallway,--a line, the value of
which it is difficult to over estimate, since it will be ibund to take a
nearly direct course from the English metropolis to 11°13-head. It
will pars through 'or near the populous and nob le
county town of
Shropshire (as yet unprovided with railway comu, and
will traverse along its whole extent districts second in wealth, re-
sources, trade, and commerce, to none in the empire ; bring them
more nearly and immediately in contact with London and Dublin,
than has hitherto been thought possible. This project is wholly in-
dependent of any other Ene already before the public, and as it
possesses national advantagt.s which none can surpass, must, when
carried out, become, without exceptio:, the most important railway
in Great Britain.
One of the first objects of this Company will be to obtain a most
central and accessible terminus in London, and Farritigdon-street has
been fixed upon for that purpose.
It is proposed to make a Unmet from that point to the Great Western
