The object of this line Is to connect the Important ports of Galway
and Belfast, and to transect the midland countlee of Ireland.
Commencing at Galway the line will pass through or near the tbl-

lowing Important places :—.Tuatn, Castleblansy, Mount Talbe, Atit

league, Roscommon, Lanesborough, Longford, Newton Forbes, klphin,
Carrick-on-Shannon, Beturbet, and Clones, where It will form a junc-
tion with the Newry and Enniskillen Railway, thus forming a direct
communication between the ports of (lalway and Belfast. It will at
the same time afford, In connexion with other lines, accommodation
to the oountles of Limerick, Clare, Galway, Mayo, Roscommon,
Longford, Leitrim, Fermanagh, Cavan, Monaghan, Londonderry,
Antrim, Armagh, and Down, and passing by or near to the Arigna
iron mines, and the great coal and limestone fields in Connaught,
it will essentially promote the agricultural and oommereial in-
terestscf those places.

It will also complete an Important chain of railway communication
between the port of Galway in the west (one of the most capacious
in the. United Kingdom, and which most, ere long, become a packet
station for steamers to and from America, &c.), ant the port ef Bel-
fast in the northeast, where there are constantly steam packets pro-
ceeding to Glasgow and the ports on the western coast of Scotland,
and which will bo brought into cheap and rapid communication with
each other.

It is to be observed that Whilst almost every other line of railway
hitherto projected diverges from Dublin, no line is as yet proposed
which intersects the inland-counties. By crossing, as it will, other
main lines, it will he a feeder to them, and it will, in return, recoive
from them a considerable amount of traffic in passengers and mer-
chandize.

A preliminary surrey of the district is being made; the line will
pass for nearly the entire length through the table land of Ireland, se
that the gradients are particularly favourable; there will, moreover,
be no tunnelling, nor any engineering work of difficulty. From
the estimates which have been made it is confidently expected that a
return of 10 per cent. on the capital will be realised. The act of in-
corporation willlimit the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of
shares which they may take.
Application for shares to be addressed to the Committee, at the
Company's Offices, 65, Moorgate-street, London, or to the under-

possessing all the richness of Silver in appearance, with all its dura-
bility andhardnoss7with its perfect sweetness in use, undergoing, as

it does, a Chemical Process, by which, all that is nauseous in nixed

With clusters of fl:"lvirets adorning each spray;
Its presence enlivens the bright rosy scene,
'Tie the month which gave birth to our Monarch—the Queen!
Oh I where is the Briton, whatever his creed,
Who would not his loyalty nobly concede,
And gallantly pledge, whilst his glass overwhelms,
Both health and long life to the Queen of our realms !
Now Hyam, we own, to the people's attached,
And long their fidelity gladly he's watch'd ;
Se, by way of advancing their progress, he chose
To sell them at all times most wonderful clothe"!
Now this was a boon, both substantial and good.
By thousands arotuul it is well understood ;
His influence spreads like the rays of the sun,
And first In the land in his trade he's become.
Then hurrah for L. Hyam—hurrah for the Queen 1
And in order to give due effect to the scene,
When her birth-day arrives, he will proudly display
A gorgeous assortment of clothing for May
And at prices so low, that the nation will own,
He treasures the people—and honours the Crown ;1

This public enjoyment, this frolic and glee.
Nor is the glad scene of the holidays less,
When viewed in connexion with new Summer dress.
Much, much has been done by MOSES and SON,
In adding fresh rest to the Whitsuntide ftm.
Let those who have net yet obtained a new dress,
To MOSES' fam'd warehouse in multitudes press,
And let them net go to a Whitsuntide fair
Till they hare made a " fair" purchase of articles rare.
" Fair" dealings you'll meet with at this noted Mart,
lnd hence, like a " fair" is it thronged in each part,
A " fair" honest bargain with IiCES and SON,
Will gain the expense of your holiday Ana.
Nothing more need be said to induce you to try
Those choice summer dresses which multitudes buy.
So wishing you plenty of frolic and fun,
As soon as the " Whitsuntide fairs" are begun,
Wo beg to remain, as we ever hare done,
Your dutiftil Servants, E. MOSES aid SON.

printing ; see page 57. The "John Bull " published its usual check.
Dec. 22, 1844, giving it., indeed, 336 correct] daily predictions ; see

the " Post," " Herald," "Chronicle," " Satirist," " Punch," and
many others, have noticed the correctness of this unique work.

lilt Royal Highness Prince Albert while at the College of Bonn ; also
useful Chronology, Royal Family, both Houses of Parliament, Sum-
mary of Population of the British Empire, Population of the chief

many green eye-shades, and other human disfigurements. It is the
only ftishionable stuff of the day sold under the authority of the

October, 9, 1844.

Sir,—For the last three or four years I have been labouring under
a nervous deafness, so much so at times as to be almost incapable of
hearing. After trying several very eminent aurists, froth 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 fbr two more, which, having used, I found my
bearing 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.
To Mr. W.' Grhnstone.
Any quantity of Eye Snuff can be forwarded through the General
t'ost, by sending money orders. A 2s. 4d. canister, with directions,
will cost 35., and so on in like prtipoction.

This Company hal been formed for the purpose of making a rail-
way between Derby and Crewe through the Potteries, thus com-
pleting the chain of communication by an almost direct line between
the Midland and Eastern Counties and the Potteries, Liverpool and
Ireland.
The proposed line is intended to leave Derby on the south, passing
near to Etwali and crossing the Dove at Tutbury, to continue through
the valley of that river to Littoxeter ; it will then proceed by the
intervening valleys, by Longton and Lane End to Stoke in the heart
of the Potteries, and thence to Crewe; the last link (from Stoke to
Crewe) Is intended to be supplied by the Grand Junction Potteries
Branch:,--The line will thus traverse a district at present totally
without railway accommodation, and (except for a portion of it) not
included in any other project.
A preliminary view has been taken, and the line presents no
engineering difficulties of importance.
The line is proposed to be taken in such a direction as to avoid
objections by gentlemen having residences near it, and the land-
owners generally.
The saving of distances between the places proposed to be thus
connected will be as follows :

The traffic thus opened for the manufactures of the Potteries, and
the extensive mills and works throughout the Staffordshire portion of
the line, is of a highly remumerating character, and capable of large
development of General Traffic also, and especially in Corn, Malt,
Coal, Clay, Lime, Slates, and Plaster, the amount has been ascer-
tain to be considerable; and it may be added that by the existing
and projected lines branching westward from Crewe, this line will
afford a direct and most useful communication between the Midland
Counties and the mineral districts of North Wales.
An arrangement has been made with the Grand Junction Com-
pany, whereby their friendly co-operation has been secured, and they
have agreed to contribute one-third of the required capital.
One-half of the required number of shares will be reserved for
landowners and parties locally interested, and the remainder (which
the Committee take this opportunity of observing, will necessarily be
of very limited amount) will be allotted to parties giving unexcep-
tionable references, and the Provisional Committee announce that the
number of shares alloted to any member of their body shall in no
case exceed two hundred.
Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per
annum on all deposits and calls, from time of payment until the
opening of the line.
Applications for Shares may be made in the subjoined form, to the
Solicitors, and Mr. Eyre, and to Messrs. Earp and Son, Sharebrokers,

This line of railway is projected to supply the required link in the
chain of railway communication between the counties of Lancaster
a,d York, end the Ports •n the North-Eastern and North-Western
parts of the likigdoin.

- It is intended to commence at or near the proposed stations of the
Leeds and Bradford Extension and North-Western Railways at Skip-
ton, whence it will proceed by Bolton Bridge, and thence either by
the Talley to the south of the Harrogate Road, as far as Pace Gate,
by West End, across the River Washburn, and aloug the banks of the
Nidd, by Hampthswaite (or otherwise from Bolton Bridge, along the
valley of the Wharf, by ♦ddinghatn, Ilkley, Burley, and Otley) to
Harrogate And Knarcsborough, near wkich it is intended to form a

the " Leeds and Think Railway," and also with tilse " Harrogate and
Church Penton Railway," which latter line is projected by the York
and North Midland Railway Company.
The length of this connecting line of railway, as at present pro-
posed (including a branch to Pateley Bridge, in the event of the line
by the valley of the Nidd being adopted), will be about twenty-seven
miles ; the districts through which it will pass abound with lead
mines and lime-stone of a well-known and excellent quality, but from
the present total want of railway or canal communication, and the
local triadic being conveyed by carts over bad and difficult roads, the
neighbourhood is now without the means of obtaiaing coals, except
at a most enormous expense, and its resources s.ie therefore very
partially developed.
This line of railway will altogether remove these disadvantages
and will, in oonjunctioa with other railways now in operation or in
course of construction, effect a direct communication between the
ports of Liverpool, Lancaster, Preston, and Fleetwood en the north-
west, and the ports of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Whitby, Scar-
borough, and the free port of the Tees on the north-east,
and will also produce a saving of upwards of forty
miles in distauce over any existing or proposed railway. It
will also perfect the communications between the important
manufacturing districts of Lancashire and Yorkshire, comprising the
great populations of Bury, Solton, Blackburn, Accrington, Burnley,
Colne, Clitheroe, Ilndderstield, Halifax, Keighley, and other towns
in the neighbourhood, and the vast agricultural districts of the North
Riding of Yorkshire and the north-eastern parts of England and
Scotland, and will be a means of mutually opening out these great
agricultural and manufacturing districts to the products of each other,
as well as to the coal-fields of Durham, in a *tanner hitherto im-
practicable. It will also afford a direct route from the north-eastern
parts of the kingdom and the East Riding of Yorkshire to the lake
districts of Lancashire, Westmoreland, mid Cumberland.
The nearest and most direct route between Ireland and the Conti-
nent viA Fleetwood and Hull, will be given by the proposed line sad
the railways in connexion with it, and it will also be the nearest way
from Manchester to Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Durham.
The toe& traffic of this line will afford ample remuneration for the
capital expended.
The communication with Harrogate and Knaresborough will he of
great Importance, for it is stated on the best data that near two-thirds
of the visitors to those places are from Ireland and the districts of Lan-
cashire, with which this railway is in direct connexion. The ha-
portanee of the traffic to those places is also evident from the fact that
the experienced Directors of the Great North of England and the
York and North Midland Railway Companies have each projected
branches from their main lines en the north and south, with almost
the sole view of connexion with Harrogate and Xnaresborough.
No agreement has been entered into with any other railway Company,
but the preposed line will not be a competing one with any other exist-
ing or projected Hue of railway, it will feed the several lines proposed
to be eonnected wills it, and will receive a great support from the
traffic flowing to it by the Leeds and Thirsk, the lilackburn,
Burnley, Accrington, and Colne ; the Blackburn, Damen, and
Bolton ; the Blackburn and Preston ; the Manchester, Bury, and ,
Row/Wale ; the Preston and Wyre ; and the North Western
Railway Companies.
The line has been carefully surveyed, and the levels accurately
taken and it is estimated that the line will be owistrueted with
favourable gradients at an avcraio cwt.

The responsthllll3• of Una Shareholders will be limited by the Act of
nohiment to the amount of their Shares.

Applications for Shares may be addressed to the Solicitors to the
Company, or to the undermentioned Sharobrokers:—Manchester,

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 16.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Sir F. Pot.were, Chief nowt
at Guildhall.)
PRATT V. BENNETT.-ISREACH OF PROXISE.
Mr. Cockburn and Mr. 31. Smith were Counsel for the
plaintiff; Mr. Jervis and Mr. Lush appeared for the de-
fendant.
This was an action in which the plaintiff, a younf woman
of 30 or thereabouts, sought to recover compensation from
the defendant for the breach of that contract which is the
tenderest, and sometimes the slenderest, between the two
sexes—namely, a promise of marriage. The circumstances
under which this case was presented to the jury were cer-
tainly most singular. In answer to the complaint of the
plaintiff the defendant pleaded a denial of the promise, and
also that he was justified in breaking it in consequence of the
loose and immodest conduct of the plaintiff.
In support of the first issue the plaintiff, as is usual in
such cases, relied upon the " love letters" of the defendant,
many of which were read to the jury ; but it might not be
amiss to premise that the plaintiff was the daughter of
a most respectable man, who had for nearly 40 years
acted as foreman in k large upholstery shop in London, the
plaintiff, his eldest daughter, being a dressmaker by trade.
In 1838 Mrs. Pratt died, and the plaintiff having fallen sick
in consequence of her attention to her dying parent, went
into Sussex to pay a visit to het friend, a Mrs. btreng- At
her house she met the defendant, then a youth of nineteen or
twenty, and very soon received attentions from him of so
marked a character as to excite attention. Matters con-
tinued thus, the defendant playing the lover most assidu-
ously till 1842, when he openly avowed himself, and the
correspondence commenced, to which allusion has already
been made. The defendant, it would appear, was the eldest
son of a farmer, who was separated from his wife. Mrs. Ben-
nett lived at Can.berwell with the second son John, and with
them the plaintiff became acquainted after the attachment
had sprung up with the defendant. This being the state of
the parties, the first letter written to the plaintiff was in
January. 1842, and that, which was of an ordinary character,
was followed by several others, all of which breathed un-
mixed lore and affection to the plaintiff, prose being secone,
panied by verse in delightful variety. Of these the following
effusions are samples:—

" Plummer's-plain, Nov. 20.
"My dearest Louisa,—l am happy to say I have hill,the
pleasure of receiving your kind and affectionate letter, be,
was sorry to hear you have been troubled with tooth-ache. I
have been told that is a sign when a person does not love
true, but I am sure that is not the case with my dear Louisa,
for I am quite convinced that her love for me is sincere, and
I hope lasting. My dear, you wished to know if I returned
home on Tuesday. I did so, or I should have come and seen
you again, for that is the only pleasure I have or desire. I
hope soon to have the pleasure of being with yon for ever.
How blest shall I be when that time comes, for it is very un-
comfortable for us both, situated as we are, with two unfeel-
ing patents, that studies to make us uncomfortable; but be
advised by me and keep your spirits up, for I hope there will
be a change for the better soon, for I am ccmpletly'arad of
being a bachelor any longer. Don't you think it is time:i
was? And the cold weather is coming on—what shall do?
Buy a pair of blankets or cuddle with you? I only wish I
had a comfortable home to take you to, I would not be a
bachelor any longer ; but I hope soon to have a comfortable
place where we shall enjoy ourselves. I long for that time to
come. I was at Horsham fair on Friday last, and bought
some more pigs very cheap. lam sorry, my dear Louisa, I
did not see you at Smithfield when you were there. . . .
I forgot to tell you in my last letter that John (his brother)
said he thought it very strange that you had not been once
to see them (John and his mother) or wrote. I hope you-will
go and see them, for you know he is a strange chap. I know
you will go to oblige me."
" P.S. Excuse haste. Please write by return of post, and
let me know how you are."

This was relieved by some verses of the following calibre:—
"Let me hold thee to my heart,
And every care resign ;
And we shall never, never part—
lily heart and all is thine."
Then again, in another letter, the defendant thus apostro-
phises the fair milliner:—
"Art thou not dear unto my heart?
Oh, search that heart and see;
And from my bosom tear the part
That beats not true to thee.
" But to that bosom thou art dear—
More dear than words can tell—
And if a thought be cherished there,
'Tis loving thee too well."
On a third occasion the defendant presented the plaintiff with
some stanzas, of which the two first ran as follow :
" All hopeless of relief—
Incapable of rest :
In rain I strive to vent a grief
That's not to be express'd.

"This rage within my veins
No reason can remove ;
Of all the mind's most cruel pains,
The sharpest, sure, is love.",

So the correspondence continued till October, 1844, the do-
fendant constantly visiting London, on which occasions he
took up his abode near the lodgings of the plaintiff, who ,re-
sided with her father, in Lisson-street, New-road. On these
occasions he took his meals at her house, and continued his
addresses till the 4th of October. On the 17th, however, of
the same month, he actually married another lady. On this
the plaintiff, naturally enraged, wrote to his father, threaten-
ing legal proceedings—a communication which elicited from
the defendant the following extraordinary letter, the dream-
stance alluded to therein being the accidental firing of Miss
Pratt's bed one night by her father's incautious use -of a
lighted candle :

" January 20, 1845.
" Louisa Pratt—l have this day seen a letter you wrotoito
my father some time since, saying you intend taking law pro.
ceedings against me. I now tell you that you had better be
' cautious what you do, for so sure that you act as you say
you mean to do, you will with, your father have serious
cause to repent it. You have, perhaps, forgot I have some
letters of yours. Were they exhibited to ceAin parties, you
and your father would be 'placed in a most awful situation.
One in particular, dated the 25th of February last, wherein
you state the particulars most fully that your father set fire
to the bed in your apartments. You claimed of the insurance-
office the money for the articles that were burnt, and had
the money for them, and that the inmates of the house sup-
posed that the fire was accidental.
" Now, I must tell you the law punishes crimes of this sort
with death. I have no wish whatever to have the crime
made public, but if you drive me to it, I will take your let-
ter to the insurance company for them to act on it, although
it would be most painful to my feelings to do it. You had
better, therefore, send me a letter signed in your full name,
saying you never will take any law proceedings whatever
against me, but if I do not receive such a letter from You,
addressed for me at my father's house by Saturday, the 25th
instant, securely sealed, I shall then say I am justified in
acting as I have said I will. Therefore do not deceive your-
self, for you have caused my father to refuse me what I had
hoped for, and should have had; but now my prospects axe
blasted, and I intend taking a situation in London directly.
As it regards your conduct, I do not intend to say much
now, and I hope you will not, by your conduct, compel me

but in the dis-
charge of his duty he had no other alternative than to present
to the jury the most extraordinary and yet convincing answer
which ever was made to such an action in the annals of the
law. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state that he
would accept the challenge given to him by his Learned
Friend, and prove to the satisfaction of the jury that the
plaintiff was a most immodest and improper person. Few
people would suspect that at the time she was allowing the
defendant to address her in the passionate strains they had
heard, she was actually engaged in cam ing on the most
familiar, if not illicit, intercourse with his own brother, John,
of whom mention was made in the letters of the brother. She
was actually herself writing to him in terms quite as strong
and passionate as those which George was addressing to her;
and her letters to him would show that she was carrying on
the same game with both brothers. These letters the Learned
Gentleman then read hurriedly to the jury, and in them she
spoke of the brother, John, in terms which bespoke the
warmest interest and attachment. In one she writes to him.,
"You say in your last note that 1 enjoy George's society
more than Ido yours. Perhaps you think so ; but time will
show." In another she speaks of herself as his " poor
Louisa," and always signed herself as his " attached Logisa,”
or in terms equally significant ; while in another speAing
of John's jealously of his brother, and of her own feelings to-
wards him;she says" I shall ever esteem and respect George for

Gentleman then called Mrs. Bennett and a Mrs. Kell to prove
certain acts of familiarity on the part of the plaintiff to-
wards John Bennett, but as the cause came to an abrupt
termination, we abstain from giving further publicity to
them.

At the close of Mrs. Bennett's examination,
The LORD CHIEF BARON interposed with a view to bring
about an arrangement between the parties in a manner which
showed that, in his opinion, great blame was attributable to
them both—to the plaintiff for carrying on the correspon-
dence with both brothers in the way proved, and to the de-
fendant for the letter of January, 1845, which was wholly
unjustifiable, especially as ho had treated the affair at the
time as an accident. 'Under all the circumstancer, it was
very desirable that nothing more should be said on either
side, while it could not be denied that it was a very fortu-
nate thing for the parties that they did not intermarry..
Mr. COCKBURN begged to assure the Learned Judg,e that
the letters of the plaintiff to John could many of them be
explained, but still he would gladly listen to the suggietion
of the Court if it had not been for the stigma which had been
laid on the plaintiff by Mr. Jervis—imputations for whicb
believed there was no foundation.
