The MAYOR In the Chair,
Mr. Fearon, the solicitor for the Company, explained the plan of
the proposed line, and it was
Resolved unanimously, That it is of the utmoat importance to the
interests of this borough to prevent a diversion of the traffic Irom Nor-

a long viaduct or embankment, and the danger of penning back the
floods in the Stour valley, and preventing any interference, with the
Stour navigation, and that this meeting accordingly pledge them-
selves to its support. -

• PROSPECTUS.

The Line of Railway now submitted to the Public, rests its claims for
support on the strong general ground of its passing through important'
districts in Essex and Suffolk, whose Interests have been almost entirely
neglected In the laying out of the different Railways hitherto executed
or projected for the benefit of the Eastern Counties of England, but
which possess, nevertheless, population, wealth, and traffic, amply suffi-
cient to defray the charges of forming a direct railway communica-'
tion through them, and to afford a good return for the capital required
for the purpose.
Commencing at Chelmsford (at the station of the Eastern Counties
Railway), this line will pass close by Braintree, Hocking, Halstead,
Sudbury, and Lavenham, to Bury, running, throughout its whole
extent, of thirty-nim miles, nearly conterminous with the ancient
and most frequented highway from the Metropolis into the heart of
Suffolk.
It will have, for its termini, two important market and assize
towns ; and for Its principal intermediate stations, places which are
the seats of considerable and thriving manufactures.
The towns of Bury and Sudbury are the two largest In the county
of Suffolk, next to Ipswich ; and Halstead and Braintree, the two
largest in Essex, next to Chelmsford and Colchester.
The population of the hundreds which will be directly intersected
by it amounts to 133,131, and that of numerous places to which it
would be more available than any other Railway, to 43,500, making
the total population which may be reckoned upon. as necessarily
tribntary from local vicinage to this line, not less than 175,631.
Between
thesem placeslisand emaltibthe places which have been named,
as weselves, there Is a large existing
a s
bteht
we
e Metropolis
traffic, to which the facilities of the railway system could not fail to
give, as in all other cases, a vast extension.
The Chelmer and Stour Navigations, through which the districts
traversed by this Line now receive their supplies of coal, lime, timber,
iron, &c., and which are also the principal outlets for its agricultural
produce, will not only have their own operations greatly facilitated.
and their revenues increased by its formation, but contribute consi.
derably to the income of the Railway. They would be feeders, but in
no respects rivals to it.
But, besides the above local traffic, the Line would command a
very considerable through traffic between London and all the
Northern parts of Norfolk. From time immemorial more than one-
third of all the coach traffic. between London and Norwich, has
posed over the line of road with which this Railway will be con-
terminous.

An extension of the line to Thetford, and also a branch from Brain-
tree to Maiden, by the way of Witham, have been surveyed, and will
form part of the scheme, if required by the Board of Trade.
From calculations which have been very carefully made of the
existing traffic alone, it appears that, assuming that it would be
trebled by the facilities afforded by railway communication, which is
less than what all railway experience would warrant, the total re-
turns from the projected Railway would amount to 105,405/.
The Line selected for the Railway is the result of an engineering
survey, on which much time and pains have been expended, and will,
it is confidently believed, he found to he not only the very best of which
the nature ol the country admits, but one admirably adapted to meet the
wants of its traffic. It will be a Line at once cheaply made and cheaply
worked. The gradients are easy, and well balanced ; the earthwork
will be less than the average earth-work on railways ; and there will
be no constructions of much difficulty or magnitude. The land re-
quired for the Line will be mostly farm-land, of moderate value, and
in no place will it pass through any parks or ornamental grounds.
Deducting 40 per cent, from the gross returns for the expense of
working the Line (a liberal allowance for a Line of this character), it
would leave a net annual revenue of 63,2431., which would be equal to
8 per cent. on the invested Capital.
Power will be reserved in the Act to allow 4 per cent. interest on
deposits until the completion of the Elm
.Applications for Shares, In the annexed form, may be made to any
of the Solicitors or Local Agents above-named, or to L. M. Simon,
Esq., Ilroker, Warnford-court, Throgmorton-street ; or to Thomas
Forsyth, Esq., Broker, Liverpool.

a person of Science in the amalgamation of Mwtals, has succeeded in
bringing to Public Notice the most beautiful Article ever yet offered ;
possessing al.. the richness of Silver in appearance, %ith all its dura-
bility and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in us.e, undergoing, as
it does, a Chemical Precess, by which, all that is nauseous In mixed
Metals is entirely extracted—resisting all Acids—may be cleaned as
silver, and is manufactured into every Article for the Table aud

than kis metal is from all others—on its intrinsic merit alone he
wishes it to be tested, and from the daily increasing erlogiums he re-
ceives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an

The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has been
happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger
and a smaller forming a cone round the margin of the wick, which
cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus condensing
every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell,
having perfect combustion, and in full action, emits a light equal to
16 wax candles.

BUCKINGHAM ELECTION.

Buc HINGHAM, MoNnaa.— To-day, at eleven o'clock,
Sir "Thomas Francis Fremantle was re-elected for
this borough. There being no opposition,there was
neither stir nor bustle in the place. A little after
eleven, Mr. H. Smith, the Mayor, took his seat in the
Town-hall. He was supported by the Rev. Mr. Cot-
ton, Captain. Dews, Rev. Mr. Sylvester,' Rev. Mr.
Fremantle, Alderman King,- Sir Thomas Francis
Fremantle, Mr. Humphrys Humphrys, Mr. F.
Bartlett, Mr. Parrott, Messrs. D. King, Stowe,
Blackwell, Salmon, &c. •

After tiie.nsual formalities were gone through,
The Rev. Mr. COKEIt rose and said—Not many
months had elapsed since the Mayor had called them
together for a similar purpose to the present, upon
which occasion Sir T. Fremantle was chosen their
representative without dissent. He expected the same
would he the result to-day, because his opinions had
undergone,nocbange, nor had any change taken place
in the bPinions of his constituents. Of course they
were aware of the cause of the vacancy. It was be-
ige Sir Thomas Fremantle had been appointed to
;her office under Government than the one he
lowly held. That promotion was not his seeking.
ae GWvernment looked outler the best man to fill
the place, and they selected-Sit Thomas Fre-mantle.
Had that gentleman consulted his own ease he would
not have crossed the Irish Channel—he would not
have embarked on the stormy sea of Irish politics.—
(Hear, hear.) He would, on the contrary, have re-
mained where he was, and enjoyed his otium cum dig-
nitate. He could not but admire him for the step he
had taken, and those who knew him well would
know that be would well perform the duty he had
undertaken.—(Cheers.) Even that master of vitupe-
ration Daniel O'Connell, could only say of him that,
he was a nice man for a small tea party.—(Laughter.)
Mr. O'Connell was accustomed to the blustering of
repeal dinners, and held in contempt the milder pro-
ceedings, of the tea-table ; yet it came with a very bad
grace from so profound a teetotaller. Nothing
could be a stronger testimony in any one's favour than
that Mr. O'Connell, who had at command the whole
vocabulary of abuse, could say nothing severer.—
(Hear.) It might be said that his new duties might
take him away, and occupy him too much, to the
prejudice of their interests, but in those days
there were no such things as absence and space
—railways and steam had obliterated them.
They had heard of an Irish
.Member who was
in two places at the same time. Why, then,
should not an Irish Secretary be in three, if required?
—(Laughter.) He would not detain them any
longer, more especially as Sir Thomas spoke so much
better than he did. He would, therefore, leave him
to speak for himself; but this he would say, that Sir
Thomas would discharge his duties satisfactorily, and
would not disappoint their expectations. He con-
cluded by proposing Sir Thomas Francis Fremantle,
as a fit and proper
,person. to represent them in the
Commons' House of Parliament.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. C. D. BENNETT very briefly seconded the
nomination.

There being no other candidate proposed, the
MAYOR declared Sir Thomas Francis Fremantle duly
elected.

Sir T. F. FREMANTLE said he almost feared he
was presuming too much on their kindness in offer-
ing himself as their representative for the second time
in nine months.—(Cheers.) His doing so was the
result of no ordinary occurrence, or he would not
have put them to the trouble and inconvenience at
that time of the year. The result, however, of that
day's proceedings• haft, justified him in doing so. He
could assure them tilt 'he had not ventured to aspire
to so high a post as the one which he then had the
honour of filling, which was one of the highest in the
Government of Ireland, and second only to that of
Prime Minister—(Hear)—but there were frequent
occasions, both in public and private life, when they
were obliged to submit to the wishes and judgment
of others. It was under some such circumstances
that he had accepted the office that had been offered to
him.--(Cheers.) It was most gratifying to him that
the day had passed wilhout an expression of un-
kindness ; and the honour they had that day con-
ferred upon him was doubly gratifying on account of
the way in which they had conferred it.—(Cheers.)
Ile could not help feeling highly proud that he had
been for the ninth time elected Member for the bo-
rough of Buckingham. So short a time had elapsed
since he had last addressed them, that few events had
transpired; but those few had been of the most gra-
tifying nature. The misunderstanding which at one
time threatened a rupture between England and
France had been settled, and the peace subsisting
between these two nations had been renewed and
cemented by the gracious visit of the King of the
French to our Queen.— (Loud cheers.) The Emperor
of Russia, from his distant empire, and the King of
Saxony, had paid deferential visits to our Gracious
Sovereign.—(Cheers) The interchange of visits be-
tween ambassadors was likely to do good, but the
visits of Kings and Queens were better indications
of the maintenance of peace.—(Loud cheers.) He
would also mention the visit of her Majesty paid to a
loyal nobleman in that county.—(Loud cheers.) As
they had so lately had an opportunity of reading her
Majesty's speech, he would not them enter into de- '
tails of the state of the country ; the commercial,
manufacturing, and shipping interests were highly
prosperous, but it was with much regret he would
admit that agricultural produce was much depressed.
The seasons had been against them ; the produce had
been short, and the prices had not risen up to what
might have been expected; in consequence, the seve-
rity of the time was felt to a greater extent than
perhaps any of them present had ever recollected
If any remedy could be applied by Parliament
her Majesty's Ministers would come forward with
it; but he believed that any Parliamentary mea-
sure that could be proposed would be delusive, and
he would not have them to look to that for help.
He would be always at his post, always ready
to consult the true interest of the British farmer ;
and when he ceased to do so, he would cease to be
their representative.—(Loud cheers.) He was per-
sonally
unacquainted with Ireland ; but having been '
a .v.rember of the House of Commons for seventeen
years, and having taken part in the legislative mea-
sures connected with that country, he felt the
greatest interest in its prosperity. Tsunts had been
thrown out that the English people disliked the Irish;
nothing could be more unfounded.--(Hear, hear.) A
more warm-hearted people did not exist than the
Irish—(Cheers)—treat them with kindness, and you
would make them friends. Ireland was an integral
part of the empire, and was to be treated like the
counties of York or Cornwall. Unfortunately there did
exist in that country a strong distrust of the Bri-
tish Parliament, British rulers, and the people.
He, however, did not despair of seeing the day
when the people of that country would look to the
union with this kingdom as their best safeguard.—
(Loud cheers.) Everything must be done to conci-
liate the people of Ireland, laying down the rule that
the legislative union should be maintained, the Church
upheld, and the laws respected. They were prepared
to hold out the right hand of friendship to their fellow-
subjects, and make friends with them. They might
fail, but it would not be from want of honest inten-
tions or active exertions. He placed the greatest de-
pendence on the nobleman who was Lord-Lieutenant
of that country, and hoped to effect much good there,
notwithstanding the difficulties with which they were
surrounded.—(Cheers.) Ile was there to state man-
fully his opinions, and to answer any questions that
might be put to him.—(Hear.)
Three cheers were then given for Sir Thomas Fre-
mantle, M.P., and the meeting quietly dispersed.

THE HISTORY OF MARGARET CATCRPOLE, A
SUFFOLK GIRL.—We observe that this work, which has
been for some time announced for publication, is dedi-
cated by the Rev. R. Cobbold to the Marchioness Corn-
wallis who, we understand, is fully acquainted with the
circumstances under which the remarkable history of
the heroine has been prepared for publication. This ex-
traordinary female, born of humble, but honest parents,
underwent the most singular vicissitudes that perhaps
ever marked the career of woman. She was connected
with the captain of a band of smugglers that infested the
Suffolk coast, at the close of the last century, and com-
mitted a crime for which she was tried and condemned
to death at Bury assizes, in the year 1797—was re-
prieved, broke out of prison at Ipswich to join her lover,
was retaken, sentenced again to death, and her punish-
ment changed to transportation for life. Retrieving her
character in Australia, she distfnguished herself in many
new adventures, obtained a free pardon, and married a
wealthy settler, who left her sole mistress of an im-
mense fortune.
The Gond Munster National Steeple Chase, an
event to which so much interest is attached, R ill come
off on the lath of April next. The usual preparations
have been made. and the meeting is expected to be a
very
• brilliant one. The scene of sport will be on the
usual ground in the vicinity of Mallow, and no pains will
be spared to make every arrangement ancillary to suc-
cess ; there cannot be a doubt that the sport this year
will afford a treat of a superior character.—Cork Southern

HARBOURS OF REFUGE.

There can .be only two questions as to the recommen-
dations of the Harbours of Refuge Committee, first,
whether Dover should have been chosen at all, and, se-
condly, whether, supposing only one work can be under-
taken at a time, the order of preference is judiciously
settled, first in favour of Dover, next of Portland, anti
thirdly, of Seaford, by Beachy Head.
Of all the plans, that of Dover is of the most doubt-
ful success, and the most costly. The estimated expense
is 2
intosoo, theooo/ se,wa.hich will be, we apprehend, literally
flung
_

The Surveyor protests -against the recommendation,
and contends that Dungeness would be a better choice in
every respect ; and we think he is right.
Dungeness is nearly twenty miles to the south-west of
Dover, but with a steam navy it would command the
straits almost as effectually as Dover, and it has incom-
parably superior capabilities for a harbour.
Next as to the order of preference. Why is Portland
placed before Seaford ? Portland is an excellent shelter
as it is. It is protected from all winds but the S.E., and
a
even in south-Easter vessels can ride out a gale as they
ride in Portland-roads up hill, and are, therefore,-,not
likely to drag their anchors.
'But between the Isle of Wight and Dungeness there
is_no.sheiter. -The harbours are all small tide harbours,
which, when they are wanted for refuge in on-shore
winds, Cannot be safely. attempted.
. Yeasels that have beat down Channel to the Silver•
perhaps nearly to the Isle of Wight, and that making
bad weather, are then obliged to bear up and run, have
to put back to Dungeness at the least, losing all the
ground they had gained. So the other way, vessels that
have beat up Channel almost to Dungeness, and then '
encountering bad weather are compelled to seek shelter,
have to run back all the way to the Isle of Wight. To
recover the distance so lost will take ships of ordinary
sailing qualities, with contrary winds, several days.
Seaford would save a considerable part of this loss,
it being about thirty miles from Dungeness, and about
sixty from the Isle of Wight.
For the coasting trade a harbour of refuge at that
point would be of the greatest convenience.
At present there is no other such distance in the
Channel, thirty leagues, without some place of shelter.
A dozen leagues from the Land's End is the fine
shelter of Falmouth ; about the same distance from
Falmouth is Plymouth - about seven leagues from Ply-
mouth, Dartmouth ; and about fourteen leagues from
Dartmouth, Portland ; six leagues from it the shelter of
Swanwich, and a little farther Studland bay ; and five
leagues from them, the Isle of Wight. But from the
Isle of Wight and Portsmouth to the next place of
shelter, Dungeness. is .the long distance of thirty leagues.
To break this dreary interval is surely a matter of
urgent importance.
The capabilitiei of Portland for a harbour are match-
less—it is all but a habour by nature. shut in on three
sides ; but as it already affords such good shelter, it
is of less importance to complete its security than to pro-
vide shelter where it is at present so much more defec-
tive and so much more wanting. If, therefore, all the
plans cannot be commenced at once, and we confess we
see no reason why they should not, Seaford has a claim
before Portland.

All the harbours of refuge proposed, Harwich,
Dover, Seaford, and Portland, are also to serve as naval
stations, defending the sea-board, and commanding the
Channel.

It is a happy thing for England that she can thus
make her outworks of defence more available still for
humanity. and the convenience and security of her na-
vigation, instead, like our neighbours, of having bul-
warks sterile of other uses than those of war, and actual
detriments and nuisances in peace.
The fortifications of London will be in the Channel,
our moat ; and the same works that provide protection
in the event of war, will be serving the daily interests
of our merchant navy and commerce, and diminishing
the toil and dangers of our seamen.
These, indeed, are works, the cost of which cannot be
grudged.—Examiner.

SPORTS AND AMUSEMENTS OF

THE PEOPLE.

The sports of a people are so closely interwoven
with the national character, that whatever change is
experienced by either affects the other. The history
of our own country will fully illustrate this assertion,
for we have broken up the national holidays and ath-
letic pastimes of our forefathers till iusume counties of
" Merry England," both are utterly unknown. We
have in a great measure, by these means, changed fur
the sturdy independent yeoman and contented labourer,
a servile and dogged race ; whilst a sickening mawkish-
ness and effeminacy, utterly foreign to the English cha-
racter, has followed the amusements we have intro-
duced instead of these which have passed away. But
we have calculated and economised too long, for we
have at last found that the greatest amount of labour
at the lowest possible cost is, after all, the dearest—
that "all work and no play" cannot last ; and, though
custom has broken the observance of those holidays
which our Church and our laws have appointed, we
have at last awoke to the truth, that such things are
necessary to the moral as well as the physical condi-
tion of the country.
There is still the feeling and the taste for these
things, especially in rural districts; and they want
but the props encouragement and facilities, again to
bring about our old English games. If we neglect
this, and allow the growth of such weeds as the
amusements which the metropolis, and which
all large towns, more or less, afford, a filthy
and illegitimate taste and feeling will usurp the
place of the honest and healthy tone it is our interest
to cultivate. Whilst the rural poor—by the covet-
ousness of their employers and their own necessities
debarred from the means of enjoyment to which they,
as all other men, are entitled—will sink to that
wretched, sullen, and degraded state which is the
root of half the crimes that terrify the world.
Amongst the sports and pastimes of our forefathers
are some which the advancement of civilisation and
humanity would suppress • but there are few even of
those whose effects would be so pernicious as the
ludicrous contortions of a Surrey ballet, and the clap-
trap music of a promenade concert—two fair samples
of what the amusements of the lower orders now are.
It is objected to such of our old English sports
as now exist, that they have become the exclusive
amusements of the lowest of the community—that
they are inseparable from pot-houses and a certain
slang and coarseness which would exclude them
from all respectability. The game of " shovel-
board," or, as it was afterwards [called, " shove
halfpenny," may be remembered by some of our
readers as a very " vulgar game," played only in
" low" public-houses ; this, however, was once a
courtly game. We simply quote this instance, which
occurs to memory as an illustration, and will serve
for the rest, without going into any antiquarian
detail. Driven from the upper classes by a certain
cant refinement, which has accompanied the pro-
gress of every age, and upheld only by the fre-
quenters of beer-shops, where alone now exist the
means of playing them, the sports of the rich have
become the exclusive property of the poor, and the
worst kind of poor—the idle and the profligate—
whilst they naturally inherit the patois or slang of
their masters. The few of the higher orders who
still uphold them seem to pride themselves
on their conventionalism ; and, with a sort of
innate propensity for that which is coarse and
low, they do not hesitate to frequent the vile
places in which these things are to be found. The
only chronicle, also, which exists of our games,
unfortunately carries out the same idea ; and, al-
though conducted with a praiseworthy spirit and in-
telligence, panders too much to the tastes of those to
whom it is addressed. The true friend of the people,
and of their sports, would see them divested of their
vulgarity and villanies, and so recorded that they
should not offend the nicest ear; for it is a false
notion that even boxing, the most questionable of all,
is inseparable from blackguardism and ruffianism.
Such are the intentions with which we commence
our task ; and we trust we shall succeed in the
attempt. Future papers will be devoted to sugges-
tions for " reviving many of our old sports, and plans
for the establishment of play-grounds and associations
apart apart from beer-shops, in villages and towns ; whilst
others will contain remarks on the evils of the present
system and the vices they lead to.—Young England.

THE ISLE or —With reference to the Act
A N
"th and Bth Victoria. chap. 43, by which the trade he-
tween the Isle of Man and the United Kingdom is to be
deemed coastwise, except as to articles liable to duty, the
Commissioners of the Customs have caused directions to
be issued to their officers in London and at the several
outports of the kingdom, acquainting them that it will
be requisite, in respect to the article of corn, that the
record of such importations should still be kept up, con-
formably to the precedent established in the case of corn
imported from Ireland, as communicated to them in the
Board's general order of February, 1830. The officers
of the several departments have, therefore, been in-
structed to take eare that an exact account of all corn,
grain, meal, and flour imported from the Isle of Man be
recorded and included as heretofore in their periodical
returns of imports transmitted to the inspector-general
of imports and exports ; observing, that, if any quanti-
tics imported since the passing of the Act before-men-
tioned have been omitted in the returns hich they
have already furnished to that officer, a special state-
ment, affording the necessary particulars in respect
