This important line of railway will commence near the Midland
Counties Station at Nottingham, whence, after crossing the navi-
gable River Trent, the line will proceed through or near Bridgeford,
Holme, Ratcliffe, and. the intermediate villages, Bingham, Hot-
teeford, Whattes, Elton, the rich and fertile Vale of
to the town of Grantham, thence passing through er near
Folkingham and Bourn, or one of them, to Spalding, Long Sutton,
autton-bridge, and King's Lynn,and there join Mg the intended Lynn
East Dereham Railway, will form the most direct line of connexionbe and
tween the Eastern Counties, and the great and populous manufac-
turing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, aid Staffordshire, by means
of the projected Gruel Union Extension line to Amber Gate, add
other lines north of Nottingham ; and by means of the line to
Yarmouth will also form a communication betweett the Eaatera and
Western coasts of the Kingdom.
The Southern parts efLincolnshire, and the North Eastern parts of
Cambridgeshire, will be afforded a direct facility of intercoarse with
some of the beet markets in England.
Tito neighbourhood of Nottingham being the most Emdern part
of the Great Midland Coal Field, this Line will afford a supply of
Coals, as well as being the medium of transit of Derbyshire Lime
and Stone to the Agriculturists of South Lincolnshire, at a conside-
rably cheaper rate than by any other existing or projected Line ; in
short, the vast mineral wealth of the Midland District will be ren-
dered available to the whole if the great agricultural country East
of Nottingham.
Surveys are now in progress, and the nature of the country is
known to offer no serious engineering difficulties, and a great portion
ot the Line will be nearly a dead level. The consideration of an ex-
tension of the Line from Spalding or Long Sutton to Wlsheach, will
also form a portion of the scheme.
The Report if the Board of Trade en the Lines through Lineoln.
skim 'aye :
" The total coot attending the transmission of a quarter of wheat
from the interior of Lincolnshire, by sea, from the port of Boston te
Louden, including freight, insurance, lighterage, cemmiselen, and
other charges, is stated to amount to very near Os. The charge by
Railway per quarter (allowing five quarters to the ton, at the charge
a 114 d. per ton, per mile, at which the estimate of the Cambridge
and Lincela Railway is taken) would not exceed Ss., and the re-
maining charges are calculated not to exceed Ss. 6d., thus showing
a benefit to the corn growers and to the public of 3a. Gd. per quarter,
occasioned by the saving of the sums now paid for insurance,
delay, loss in weight, depreciation of quality, lighterage, &a."
" A still more important advantage to the Farmer is afforded by
the opportunity given by railway communications of availing himself
promptly of the most favourable market. It frequently happens that
owing te tie delay and difficulty of tranemiselen, the Farmer is com-
pelled to stands wheat at the nearest provincial market at a price
considerably below the average rate, and to lose the advalta,ge of a
temporary rise."
Whatever tends to equalise prices and to prevent excessive fluc-
tuations cannot but be considered as a benefit both to the product
and the consumer. We are satisfied that much may be done in this
way by an economical and well arranged System of railway com-
munication."
The same remarks apply to the whole if the great maauttseurisg
districts if Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire.
The great quantity of land, amounting to 100,000 acre', about
te he redeemed from the sea by a company, with Sir John Rennie, as
Engineer fir the promoters, and Mr. Rendel, for the Corporation of
Lynn, must ultimately prove of great advantage to this under-
taking. And, it it is conceived, that the Grand Union Railway must
Meet with the cordial co-operation of the Midland Railways, as an
immense traffic will be brought along those lines en route to Binning-
barn, the Potteries, and the whole of the manufacturing districts of
Staffordshire. The traffic epos the intended Nottingham and Mans-
Sheffield and Newark, Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junc-
ti elond, , and the Sheffield and Manchester lines, must also derive a great
increase of traffic from this line of railway.
P weOr is intended te be reserved in the Act te allow 4 per sent. in-
terest upon deposits and calls, until completion el the line.

LAW of BANKRUPTCY and INSOLVENCY.
At a meeting of traders and others, held at the London
Tavern, on TuNEDAY, the 27th of May, 1845, to consider the pro-
priety of petitioning Parliament for an amendment of the Act abolish-
ing Imprisonment for Debt under 201., and for other improvements In
the Law of Bankruptcy and Insolvency.
JOIIN MASTERMAN, Esq., M.P., in the Chair,
The following Resolutions were unanimously agreed to :
Moved by BENJAMIN HAMM, jun., Esq., M.P. ; seconded by
Tuomai lIAIWA&D, Eeq., (Conway. Phelps, and Hayward :)
That this meeting is deeply sensible of the injury which has been
inflicted on trade generally by the recent alterations in the law of
debtor and creditor, especially the abolition of imprisonment on final
process for debts under 201., whereby the facility of committing
frauds has been increased, and the risk of punishment lessened,
without the substitution of any adequate power to creditors of ob-
taining possession of the property of debtors unjustly withheld.
Moved by J. P. GissioT, Esq. (Martinez, Gasslot, and Co.) ; se-
conded by JOHN INGRAM Taavisss, Esq. (Jus. Travers and Sons) I
That to remedy these evils It is required that greater facilities be
afforded for the seedy and inexpensive recovery of the debtor's pro-
perty, and that ho should be obliged to show to the satisfaction of the
Court to which be is amenable that ho has fairly and honestly sur-
rendered the whole of his effects to his creditors, in default of which
he should be considered guilty of fraud, and be liable to punishment
at the discretion of the Court.
Moved by GEORGE Morrow, Esq. , seconded by W. GOLDEIMITE,
Esq.:
That a petition embodying these views be presented to the two
houses of Parliament, and that the Representatives of the City and
of the metropolitan boroughs be requested to support its prayer.
Moved by W3t. Hawes, Esq. (T. and W. Hawes) ; seconded by W.
D. Salmi, Esq. (Stull and Son) :
That a Committee, consisting of the following gentlemen,
Wm. Cory, Esq. George Moffatt, Esq.
R. Chambers, Esq. Wm. Nicholson, Esq.
Elliott, Esq. Ralph Price, Esq.
J. P. Oassiott, Esq. W. D. Saull, Esq.
Win. Hawes, Esq. James Seeger, Esq.
Thomas Hayward, Esq. J. Ingram Travers, Esq.
be appointed to prepare the petition, and to take such other mea-
sures as may appear to them necessary to carry the wishes of this
meeting into effect.
Moved by Wit. CORY, Esq.; seconded by R. Cuaimins, Esq.
That a subecription be now opened to defray the expenses of the
Committee, and that Win. Hawes, Esq. be Treasurer thereof.
That the above resolutions be advertised in the Times, Chronicle.
Herald, Advertiser, Standard, Globe, and Sun newspapers.
JOHN MASTERMAN, Chairman.

The Chairman having left the chair, it was

EPSOM RACES.
THE DERBY DAY.

Hitherto the journalist in describing the Derby day
had considerable latitude, and from his varied descrip-
tions one would be induced to think him übiquitous. He
was like the "French falconer, flying at all he met,"
and all he did not meet. He painted, drawing no doubt
upon his fancy and a good deal upon his experience, the
appearances led the casualties of the different avenues
leading to the course. He spoke of the crowds at the
Elephant and Castle, the stoppages at Kennington-gate,
the crash at Sutton, the multitudes that passed over the
different London bridges,—he described four-in•hands,
tandems, gigs, carts, vans, flies, go-carts, and all sorts
of turn-oats, from the splendid equipages of the west, to
the ricketty vehicles of the costermonger and knacker.
He painted the long line of carriages and equestrians
that moved along the old turnpike roads ; and he had to
record the smashing of coach-pannels, the collision and
locking in of wheels; splinter-bars splintered; the cut-
tings in and out of the line, upsets and runnings away,
fractured bones, and th• insolence and extortion of the
keepers. He had to mention troops of boarding-school
boys drawn up in front of the various academies by the
road-side, or mounted upon the play-ground walls, and
young school-girls at the windows of their seminaries,
admiring the splendid drags of the aristocracy, and
the gaudy livery of postilions and out-riders, and laugh-
ing at and quizzing the multitude that passed by them in
worn out stage-coaches, greengrocers' vans, shabby carts,
or on foot. These amusit, pictures are fast fading away,
for the rail-roads have already almost put an end to
them, and by this time next year they will have re-
ceived a coup de grace from the completion of an atmos-
pheric railway from London to the town of Epsom.
There can be no doubt that this great change will very
much injure the inns, &c., on the old roads, but it must
improve the Epsom races very much, making them more
numerous, and yet more select. Many a tradesman,
whom want of time has prevented from ever seeing the
Derby run for, will, when the atmospheric railway shall
have been completed, become a spectator of that event,
particularly when he can do so, and be back to business
in a couple of hours.
The Derby speculations this year, though certainly
materially affected by the growing importance of the
Chester Cup, were heavy in legitimate betting ; and had
it not been for the Old England and Weatherbit affair,
recorded by us on Tuesday, there would have been little
or no "nobbling" to complain of. Derby lotteries and
sweeps wore numerous, but assuredly not so much so as
they were last year ; for confidence in them was cooled
by the Running Rein business, and by the dishonest
and disgusting legal obstructions thrown last year in the
way of payment of prizes. This year it is to be hoped
the treasurers of the lotteries will feel that they have no
excuse to make, and that they will pay, without demur,
the drawers of the winning horse. Another sort of
speculation—we might properly call it a mania—viz.,
that in railroads, has interfered with and diminished the
Derby betting. We fancy it would be very difficult to
decide which was the safer speculation.
The meeting yesterday was a numerous one. Al-
though it rained—not very heavily, it is true—from
dawn until a little before noon, the weather-wise pro
phesied a fine day. They were right in their prediction
—between eleven and twelve o'clock the rain ceased,
and the sun shone pleasantly during the whole of the
races, and, almost up to the very moment of the start-
ing, arrivals on the course continued to take place.
When, at half-past two, the bell for saddling rang, the
course presented an animated and thronged appearance,
the coup d'xil from the Grand Stand might have chal-
lenged comparison with the best days of Epsom. The
hill just in front of the Stand was crowned with booths,
and its sides and base were covered with carriages
crammed with occupants of either sex. Close by, on
the eastern side of the winning stand, was a line of
carriages twenty deep, and each side of the course,
from its western extremity all round to, and beyond
Tattenham-corner, and nearly up to the betting ring,
was densely lined with all sorts of vehicles and every
grade of spectator. We did not observe in any quarter
symptoms of dread of dyspepsia. The Grand Stand was
well filled with the rougher sex, but exhibited a la-
mentable minority of the fairer members of creation.
No doubt the fatigues of the Drawing-room kept them
away, and we hope to see them in health, beauty, and
large numbers on Friday next, patronising by their pre-
sence the female equine contest for the Oaks.
Our attention being so fully occupied with the racing
occurrences of the day, we were unable to collect any-
thing like a tithe of the names of the distinguished
persons present. A casual survey of the course, how-
ever, enabled us to select the following :—Duke of
Beaufort, Lords Exeter, Normanby, Verulam, Wilton,
Stradbroke, March, Chesterfield, Uxbridge, Cantilupe,
Edward Russell, Macdonald, Levesen, Alfred Paget,
Arthur Lennox, Duncannon, Spencer, G. Bentinck, G.
Lennox, W. Powlett, Glasgow, Maidstone, Southamp-
ton, Miltoun, Glamis, Villiers, Rosalyn, llowth.

Colonel Knox ; Messrs. W. N. Johnstone, J. Stanley,
S. Stanley, J. Mills, Shelley, Greville, J. Bayley, Bas-
tard, Jaques, Batson, Payne, Clive, 8. Graham.
The chief race was fixed for half-past two o'clock, but
punctuality in such an event is so difficult that it has never
been attained. The difficulty was increased yesterday
by the unprecedented number of horses brought to the
post, no fewer in fact than 311—Besides three false starts,
an accident happened to Alarm and his jockey, which de-
layed the final start at least a quarter of a hour. The
Libel reared up, and striking at Alarm, bit Nat upon
the wrist; this caused Alarm to plunge, and his rider
being dislodged, he ran against the chains, and fell over;
but immediately jumping up, he broke away towards
Tattenham-corner ; being headed about midway, he
made for the road leading into the bottom below the
weighing-stand ; and after narrowly escaping another
fall, was caught, taken back, and remounted. His leg
was cut, and the jockey's arm much bruised, but not to
the extent to prevent their taking part in the race. At
about half-past three a good start was effected, and in a
few brief moments the hopes and fears of the thousands
who had breathlessly awaited the commencement of the
struggle were set at rest. The " crack" was beaten dis-
gracefully, and a horse that was not even mentioned in
the betting proved to the satisfaction of the unlearned
in racing matters that the " knowing ones were done

'THE RACE.

A good start was accomplished at the fourth attempt,
Ides leading off, fr,tlowed by Salopian, Fuzbos, Cobweb
colt, Wood Piger,n, Kedger, and Doleful, Pantasa and
Merry Monarci, next, side by side, and behind them
Mentor and P am, Annandale, and Old England lying in
the centre. In this formation they ran at a good bat to
the top of The hill, where Kedger and Doleful went to
the front. and jointly carried on the running at an im-
proved_po ce, Pantasa aid the Merry Monarch next, with
Wood P;ageon, Idas, Mentor. Pam, Old England, and Ai-
nandale in their wake. They cams thus to the turn, in
rounding which Pam, owing, as it is alleged, to another
horse hanging upon him, struck into Wood Pigeon's
heels and fell ; Weatherbit, who was following, jumped
over him, and, being put out of his stride, of course lost
sortie ground. Doleful and Kedger kept their places to
the distance, where the Merry Monarch went in front,
followed by Annandale, Pantasa lying third, anti Old
England in company with Doleful, Kedger, and Wood
Pigeon. The run-ii was all in favour of the Merry Mo-
narch, Annandale, never getting nearer than his quar-
ters, and being finally defeated in clever style by a
length. Old England came at the last, and beat Pantasa
for third place by a neck. Annandale beating him by a
length. Next to this lot were Wood Pigeon, Doleful,
and Kedger, and behind him was the Crack (who was in
trouble before he got to the road), and Adonis. How
the next ruck came in we could not make out,
but those who pinned their faith on the Stanton nag,
The Libel, must have been not a little mortified to per-
eeive that he was the first horse beaten and the last at

the winning-chair. The Laird o'Cockpen, the Coruniba
colt, Worthless, Young Eclipse, The Black Prince,
Cabin Boy, and several others. were beaten early. The
