trivances were resorted
."to, to surprise him into a con-
fession. One was, on the anniversary of the murder,
to produce suddenly the skull of the murdered woman.
Riembauer sprang up from his chair, looked wildly at
the judge, but immediately resumed his composure and
fixed smile, placed himself so as to avoid looking at the
skull in front, and answered, " My conscience is at ease,
This day eight years, as I returned from Pirkwang,!l
found that skull, and the body of which it formed a part,
lying dead in my room. If it could speak, it would say,
Riembauer was my friend, not my murderer. You see
that I breathe freely in its presence. lam not a crimi-
nal, but a victim." He did, however, at length con& ss,
and so satisfied the scrupulousness of the German law.
In England, as the Reviewer observes, " he would pro-
bably have been tried at the first assizes after Cath-
erine's information was laid; the proceedings could
scarcely have outlasted one day; and unless there were
some technical flaw, unless the copyist perhaps left out
in the indictment the words then and there,' or wrote
the murdered woman's name Hanna instead of Anna, or
Mary instead of Marie, the judge would have summed
up unfavourably, and the jury would have convicted him
without leaving the box." .

A curious part of the case, however, remains to be
told, which forcibly illustrates the care which German
jurisprudence has of human life. Though Riembauer
confessed himself to be the murderer, yet another neces-
sity of German law had not been proved—the murder
itself. Nor could it be : for the skeleton bore no marks
of it—nobody living had witnessed the deed ; and both
these conditions are necessary to a sentence of death.
Riembauer, therefore, was only sentenced to indefinite
imprisonment.
If a review of the working of German law leaves us.
on the whole, well satisfied with our own system, it
certainly places in a strong light the absurdity of some
of our rules, which, by over-nicety as to technicali
ties and forms (such as discharging a prisoner if a
material witness be absent, or if a name be spelt wrongly
or if, as in Lord Cardigan's case, some witness re-
fuse to speak on the plea of committing himself) places
a criminal in a situation where, if he have the means of
putting into play all the tricks and contrivances of the
law, he may, as many notorious criminals have done,
set the law at defiance, and make that equal justice on
which we pride ourselves a mere mockery.

THE IVEATHER.—THE POTATO CROP.—For some
days the atmosphere has been damp and heavy, and during
the night rain has fallen copiously. Potato-lifting is now
proceeding on all hands. We have made particular inquiry
respecting the condition of this crop, which we find is both
sound and abundant in our own locality ; in proof of which
we may remark, that the quantity of potatoes in yesterday's
market was greater than for two or three previous weeks,
and there was besides a reduction in price of 4s. per boll.
The market price of potatoes here, per boll of forty-eight
stenes, is about 12s. In the high districts there is still a
great deal of grain out, some even uncut, and we are afraid it
must have suffered materially from the boisterous and stormy
weather.—lnverness Courier.

zance, passing intermediately the ports of Penryn, Belford, Oweek,
and Portleaven, the populous mining and agricultural districts sur-
rounding Constantine,Helaton, Breage, and Marazion, and affording
complete and direct communication between the towns of Falmouth,
Penryn, Helston, Marezion and Penzance.

In the absence of such a line ac this now projected, a journey by
railway from Penzance to Falmouth would require a distance of forty
miles to be traversed ; but, by the prOposed line, the distance will
not exceed twenty-five miles, and the whole of the fertile southern
coast of Cornwall, between Falmouth and Penzance, and the rich
promontory extending to the Lizard, will receive ample accommo-
dation.
At Fahnoitth, the line will be connected with the intended rail-
ways which are to have their terminus at that unrivalled port, ex-
tending from the east of England and the metropolis on the one
hand, and Scotland and the north of England on the other; and this
line will also form the last link of the great chain of coast lints, ex-
tending from Margate by Dover, Brighton, Southampton, Dorchester,
Plymouth, and Falmouth, to Penzance, the last port on the southern
shores of the kingdom.
Falmouth, from its importance as the packet-station of the empire,
and from being also of great commercial consideration, owing to its
safety and advantageous geograi.hical position, is become the prin-
cipal point of arrival and departure for vessels trading to foreign
ports, and when the eastern lines which have their terminus there
gull be completed, there can be little doubt that it will become in a
national and eommercial point of view one of the first ports in the
kingdom.
With reference to its local advantages, this line of railway can
scarcely be over-estimated. The traffic from the southern district of
the county to the markets of Penzance, Helston, and Falmouth, the
latter of which are mainly supplied from that abundantly rich and
fertile locality, i• immense. The early vegetables produced in such
abundance and in rapid succession, in the exuberant soil of Penzance
not only supply the market of Falmouth, meeting the great demand
occasioned by its foreign and domestic trade, but are also, by the
Irish and other steam-vessels, forwarded from that port in great
quantities to the London market. The well-knewn fisheries in the
Mounts Bay would be greatly benefited by the means of ready transit
for the superior fish of that locality, also destined for the London
market, while now, from the uncertainty of communication with
the metropolis, too frequent risk and loss are encountered through
the time consumed in the journey between kenzance and Falmouth
by the ordinary roads.
The celebrated Cornish granite, which is in such extensive de-
mand for the Government and other great national works, is chiefly
supplied from the inexhaustible beds of that famed stone lying con-
tiguous to the proposed line between Penryn and Helston, through
th. centre of which the railway will traverse an extensive natural
valley. The annual shipment of this stone from the port of Penryn
alone amounts to upwards of 20 000 tons, nearly the whole of which
would pass over the projected line. On its route will alas be found
many important mines, including the celebrated Wheal Vor Mines,
near Helston, and others of great and increasing importance, the
supplies and produce of which will form a considerable item in the
traffic returns.

The passenger traffic between the termini and the interme-
diate towns, is at present of considerable magn'tude, exclusl re of
that carried on by post chaises and private conveyances ; and
omitting many articles of traffic which would necessarily pass over the
line, it has betn already ascertained that the traffic in agricultural
produce and manures, merchandise, mine supplies, ores, granite, and
passengers, is sufficient to return at least 10 percent. on the required
CAr 'fa]

The entire disteoce will not exceed twenty miles, as the line will
Join the ureat Metropolitan and Falmouth line at Penryn, and the
West Cornwall line from Truro, by the north coast, to Penzance, at
Alarazion.

The survey of the line, which is in active progress, will be ex-
tended to Penzance, the estimated capital being sufficient for the
whole line, but should the West Cornwall line be successful in their
application for a Bill, the junction will take place as proposed at
Marazion, and the capital of this Company will be reduced in pro-
portion.

When the peculiar position of this line is considered, its importance
in a national point of view, as the terminal link of the South Coast
lines of Eng'and ; its great value as connecting Penzance, the garden
of England, with the safest and most convenient port in the English
chancel; its numerous local advantages, traversing the margin of
one of the finest agricultural districts, and penetrating the centre
of the mining and granite localities, which may be added its
freedom from all risk of competition; it may safely be affirmed,
that, as a speculation, few railways have offered similar inducements
to the capitalist.

In the Bill to be applied for, power will be taken to allow interest
at 41. per cent. on the deposits and future calls, from the day of pay-
ment ; and the subscribers' liability will be limited to the amount of
their subscription.

FALMOUTH, HELSTON, and PENZANCE
RAILWAY.
At a Meeting of the inhabitants of Helston, held at the Star
Inn, on Monday, October 27, 1845,
THOMAS ROGERS, Esq., in the Chair,
The following resolutions were unanimously adopted :
Moved by JOHN KENDALL, jun., Esq. ; seconded by WILLIAM PEN-
BERTH T, Esq.—
That railways having become the principal means of communica-
tion between most of the important towns and districts of the
country, it is essential that the large mining and agricultural popu-
lation of the southern district from Falmouth to Penzance should
enjoy the advantages possessed by, or offered to, other portions of
the kingdom. This meeting, therefore, regards the promotion of
such an undertaking as an object of vital importance to the inha-
bitants of Helston and the neighb< urhood.
The prom 'ters of a line of railway, called the Falmouth, Helston,
and Penzance Railway, having laid their plans before the meeting
for carrying out the said railway from Falmouth by Penryn, Con-
stantine, Gweek, Helston, Sithney, and Marazion, to Penzance,
it was
Moved by JAMES CLARKE, Esq. ; seconded by THOMAS JULIAN, Esq. ;
and resolved,
That the said line fully meets the requirements of this town and
neighbourhood, and the whole of the southern district of the county
traversed by it, and this meeting pledges itself to give the said under-
taking its undivided and energetic support.
Moved by WILLIAM SLEEMAN,Esq.; seconded by T.H. EDWARDS,ESq.—

RAILW. Y.
At a Meeting of inhabitants of Falmouth, held at Selley's Hotel
the 28th of October, 1848,
RICHARD OSLER, Esq., in the Chair,
It was unanimously resolved,—

That a line of railway which shall connect the towns of Penzance,
Hclston, Penryn, and Falmouth, by the shortest route, and in the
direction of the present line of traffic between these places, would he
of great local and commercial importance, as tending to afford the
readiest means of transit for the mineral and agricultural produce of
the intermediate localities, and facilitating communication beween
places of so much relative importance, and would also greatly benefit
the trade and port of Falmouth.

That the line of railway, the particulars of which have been laid
before this meeting, called the Falmouth, Helston, and Penzalicr
Railway, is calculated to effect those objects, that this meeting pledges
itself to give the said undertaking its most cordial and strenuous
support.

That the names of the following gentlemen be placed on the Pro-

merchandize in the said borough ; also, by obtaining greater facili-
ties for the transmission of mining supplies and other commodities
into the interior of the southern district between Penryn and Pen-
zance ; and this meeting regards the promotion of such an under-
taking with feelings of the liveliest interest.
That the Falmouth, Helston, and Penzance Railway being the

The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of railway
to connect the Northern, Eastern, and South Essex Railways, by
means of a steam-ferry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with Tun-
bridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton.
It is contemplated to proceed from the Eastern Counties Railway
at or near Ma, low station to Tilbury, crossing the river by a steam
floating-bridge to Gravesend, passing by Cobham, Snodland, Mail-
ing, and Hadlow, to Tunbridge, thence by the South-Eastern Railway
to Tunbridge Wells, passing LTektield to Lewes, and thence joining
the Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings Railway to Brighton.
An inspection of the map will clearly show the great importance of
this railway, whether considered in a local or national point of view,
forming, as it will, a most us-ful chain of local communication for
the fertile and populous tracts through which it passes.
It will bring the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of the
Thames, and North Kent, into direct communication, by way of
Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus form, in conjunction
with the railways now in progress on the Continent, the shortest
possible route to Paris and the Mediterranean.
Ry this railway the large population of the north-eastern coun-
ties, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct and easy com-
munication with the whole of the populous and important counties of
Kent and Sussex, without going round to London, and thereby
avoiding* the inconvenience arising from the unconnected lines north
and south of the metropolis.

The utility of this line to the naval and military service, both in
times of peace and war, for the conveyance of troops and stores, is
evident.

With the existing railways and those now in progress la rent and
Sussex, a most complete system of local communication will be
effected ; and as such, the project has been received with the most
distinguished approbation and pledges of support from the principal
proprietors alf ng the line, and the corporation of Gravesend have
promised their entire sanction to, ant will cordially support it.
The ground has been carefully surveyed, and found to present no
difficulties to the formation of a good working line.
The existing local traffic has been ascertained to be amply suffi-
cient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking; but a large ac-
cession of valuable traffic cannot fail to be the result of the increased
accommodation thus afforded to the public, and re,,dering the under.
taking one of the moat Important as well as productive lines of rail-
way in that part of the country.
The Committee reserve power to themselves to form branches from
Snociland to Chatham and Maidstone.

The liability of the Shareholders will be restricted by Act of Par-
liament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be ap-
plied for In the Bill to allow interest at toter per cent. per annum on
all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.

in the usual form, to the secretary, at the Offices of the Company, 11,

First—That the East India Railway Company was formed in the
spring of this year, after many months of preliminary discussion arid
communication with official anthorities, for the purpose of carrying
out the views and objects of the projectors in the introduction of
ailways into India.
Second—That the promoters of the undertaking -abstained from

they had satisfied themselves of the disposition of the Government
of India to support the undertaking by pecuniary aid in s,,m, shape,
on which basis this Company was accordingly established, its object

which should be selected by Government, with the ulterior exten-
sions and developments consequent upon it.
Third—That, in flirtherance of these views, the Managing Director
of this Company proceeded to Calcutta in the month of July last,
accompanied by a staff of surveyors, for the purpose of making the
necessary surveys, obtaining the requisite information, and of ascer-
taining the views of the local Governmout, prior to the final arrange-
ments for commencing operations.
Fourth—That the information obtained in the course of several
years of preliminary inquiry inclined the projectors to the belief that,
subject to any unterseen circnmstances, the line from Calcutta to
the north -western provinces, by Nfirzapore, was the most needed by
India, and most calculated to yield a profitable return for investment
of capital, and it was therefore that line which was advocated in the
first communication with the Government, the selection being left to
the Government.

Fifth—That subsequent to the formation of this Company, various
projects have been announced to the public for constructing railroads
in Western India, some of them forming part and portion of the
scheme of the East Indian Railway Company, and to which the
surveys and the operations of the Committee in Calcutta may pos-
sibly at this moment be directed as an important feature in the de-
sign of Government.

Sixth—That under these circumstances It appears to this Board to
be their imperative duty in the interest of this Company to adopt
such measures as will have the effect of securing to the Company the
benefit of their original scheme In Its full integrity.
Seventh—That with this view, and in order to prove to the Go-
vernment of India their full means of carrying out any arrangements
which it may be disposed to make with this Company for the con-
struction of railways on an extended scale (in the event of Its being
essential to the scheme of the Government so to commence), it is
des:rable that the capital of this Company should be increased to ten
millions, by the issue of new shares.
Eighth—That 120,000 shares of 501. each be created, an which a
deposit of ss. will be forthwish payable ; that of this number 80,000
shares be distributed rateably among the approved holders of the
Scrip already issued, in the proportion of one new for one old share;
and that the remaining shares, subject to the necessary allotment to
the new Directors, ho reserved to be disposed of hereafter, as may be
found advantageons for the interests of the undertaking.
Ninth—That these resolutions be advertised in the Daily News-
papers, for the information of the Prmrietors and the public.

GEORGE LAIU'ENT. Chairman

They also beg to state that the applications for shares by local

allotment they will be enabled to make such selections of influential
peril s, upon the guarantee of their local agents, as will secure in-
fluential support. Such allotment will necessarily be deterred for a
short time.
The progress of the survey of the line, and the other necessary
preparations for the ensuing session rf Parliament, are such as to
enable the Committee to rely on securing the completion of the
measure.

This proposed railway, while it will connect the manufacturing towns
of Dundee and Forfar by the nearest and most direct route, will form
a continuous and connecting link at the river Tay with the follow-
ing great railways :—The Edinburgh and Northern, the proposed
Glasgow and Dundee Junction, and the Perth and Dundee lines ;
and, at the Forfar Terminus, will meet the Scottish Midland Junc-
tion from Edinburgh and Perth, and its proposed extension to the
Aberdeen Railway at Laurencekirk ; also the Forfar and Arbroath
Railway, which joins the Aberdeen Railway at Friockheim—thus
amalgamating with these various railways, and forming a continu-
ous and centrical trunk for the general railway communication from
England through Scotland.
This line will be about fifteen miles in length, and, viewed only as
a local connecting line between Dundee and Forfar, it is in a great
degree called for by the manufacturers, merchants, and farmers of
the district. It will beyond all question, from this source alone, have
a traffic sufficient for ample remuneration to the shareholders. For-
far is the county town, and there is necessarily a considerable inter-
course with Dundee. To parties locally versant with this manufac-
turing district, the very extensive traffic and intercourse between
Dundee and Forfar are well known The population of the district
connected with the line is about 100,000.
Dundee, from its proximity to Forfar, and its extensive shipping
eapabilities, is the proper and convenient port for exporting the pro-
duce of the district, but at present there Is no direct railway com-
munication. The expense of transmitting goods at present between
Dundee and Forfar is fully double what it should be, and in a great
measure performed by horse carriage, an expensive and tedious pro-
cess ; but the formation of this railway will open up a direct and
cheap communication, and will unquestionab y benefit the trade and
agriculture of the district.
The line passes through a rich agricultural district, for the pro-
duce of which the farmers will by it find an easy and expeditious
transit to Dundee, both for consumpt and exportation ; and the
agricultural value of the lands will be considerably increased by the
direct communication with the town and harbour of Dundee, and
the railways running south from the Tay. The extensive pave-
ment and slate quarries around Forfar and along the district will he
greatly enhanced by the line, as a cheap and easy access to Dundee
for exportation will thus he afforded.
The promoters of this railway, viewing the extensive local traffic,
the junction with the whole railways before enumerated in con-
nexion with the great English trunk railways, have no hesitation in
submitting this undertaking to the public, not only as one necessarily
called for by the mercantile, manufacturing, and agricultural inte-
rests of the district, and public conveniency, but more especially by
its being the direct centrical line, forming a continuation of the rail-
way communication by the Edinburgh and Northern and Glasgow
Junction lines, through the counties of Fife and Forfar, to ♦berdeen
and the north of Scotland

As a sate investment for capital, this line, being thus in the midst
of a great manufacturing district, and from the present formation of
railway communication at both ends, will present the sure prospect
of being highly advantageous.

The district has already been surveyed, and pre,ents no difficulty
to the formation of the railway; and the proprietors and tenants
along the line aro understood to be very favourable to the under-
taking.

The requisite Parliamentary notices have been given, se that the
Bill may be introduced and passed in the ensuing session ; and the
Company's engineer will immediately proceed to finish a minute
survey of the whole line and termini at Dundee and Forfar.
The Company will have also power by Their notices to form the
line by a junction with the Dundee and Arbroath Railway at Broughty
Ferry, it this can be considered eonsistent with the direct and unin•
terrupte t main line of communication from Dundee to Forfar and the
north of Scotland Intended by this Company.
Applications for shares will be received by the following Share-
brokers :—Edinburgh--Messrs. John RobertseA and Co., and Robert

2d. That the explanation as to the merits, and the precise course

tation from the South and Midlands' Junction Railway Company,
and the advttntage the same will afford to the inhabitants of the town
of Highworth and its vicinity, are highly satisfactory, and the meet-

The Committee of Mananagemont have the satisfaction of stating
that most advantageous arrangements have now been concluded with
the Saundersfoot Railway and Harbour Company for the use of their
line, harbour, and other works, which will considerably lessen the
estimated cost of the proposed undertaking, and ensure the supply of
every material for the works at a very reduced price.
The new works will now consist only of a short branch of about
three-quarters of a mile, to effect a junction between the Saunders-
foot and South Wales Railway and another to the harbour of S'aun-
dersfoot, with a line of about six miles to the favourite watering-
place of Tenby. That part of the Saundersfoot line which wil be
used for the present railway can be adapted at a very moderate cost,
and without interfering with the existing valuable coal line and
mineral traffic ; and the present Company will enter into the receipt
of the profits derivable from this source immediatelyon the Act being
obtained, thus securing an immediate return to the shareholders.

The requisite notices of 'Mention to apply to Parliament—.
in the
ensuing session are prepared, and will be at once advertised, as
required by the standing orders of the Houses of Parliament, and the
surveys, plans, and sections are in a sufficient state of forwardness
to ensure their deposit early'in November.
The consent of nearly all the landowners on the line has been se-
cured, the project is warmly supported by the mayor, corporation,
and inhabitants of Tenby, and there is every reason to believe it
will receive the sanction of the South Wales Railway Company ; so
that it is expected the measure will he entirely unopposed.
