The Provisional Committee of this Company have to announce
that the Great Western Railway Company having decided to
snake a portion of. this line—viz, from Cheltenham to the Oxford,
Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, this Company has
consented to abandon that portion of this railway, to adopt the
broad gauge, and to commence from Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton Railway, near Stow-on-the-Wold, at the junc-
tion of the Cheltenham line, and proceed from thence by
Chipping Norton to Banbury, there joining the Oxford and
Rugby and the Birmingham and Oxford Railway (all of which
are to be constructed on the broad-gauge principle), and from thence
to Blisworth, joining the London and Birmingham and the North-
ampton and Peterborough Railways, whereby the most direct and
shortest communication from the Bristol Channel to the North
Sea will be completed.
The Committee have further to state that the Allotment Commit-
tee have nearly completed the allotment of the shares, which has
been protracted in consequence of the overwhelming number of ap-
plications.
The letters of allotment will be issued the early part of next week.

-RAILROADS IN THE ISLE OF WIGHT
That the public may not be misled by the various statements
that have appeared in some of the public papers, and in the pro-
spectus of the Isle of Wight Railways, I am desired to state, that at a
General Meeting of the Landowners and Ratepayers of the island,
held at Newport, on the 26th of June last, resolutions were carried
declaring the opinion of the meeting to be adverse to the introduc-
tion of railways into the island, and that a committee of gentlemen
was at the same time appointed to watch the proceedings of the
railway projectors; and I am further directed by this Committee to
state, that not only will the scheme be opposed by the most influen-
tial* landed proprietors through whose estates the railways would
pass, but that it Is also intended to offer a vigorous public opposition
It the project in Parliament, should a Bill be sought for.

THE PRUSSIAN CONSTITUTION.
VIENNA, AUG. I.—With the departure of Prince Met-
ternich the political sun of Vienna has set. Most of the
diplomatic stars of the first magnitude have also disap-
peared from the horizon to follow in the course of the
great luminery, and hover, at a greater or lesser dis-
tance, about the Royal Congress at Stolzenfels, towards
which all eyes are now turned, to catch the faintest
sound of the tittle-tattle for which all ears are now
opened; and to which. in fact, in spite of its appearance
of a mere friendly visit from the Queen, on her way to
Coburg, to the Kin.. of Prussia, all the political conjec-
tures, surmises, and calculations of the day are now di-
le-cted. It is generally supposed that this opportunity
will be seized upon by Prince Metternich to make a
last effort towards persuading the King of Prussia to
change his intention of giving a constitution to
his i.eoplo. Such an event, which must ne-
cessmil_v__brinff Pru*ia nearer in c_onnexion with the
nue to a still greater extent the separation effecte 1, in
part, between Austria and Prussia, by the great German
eetetnereiel league, cannot hut be looked upon with evil
eyee by the former Government. The grant of the
Prussian constitution also cannot fail of exciting to a
still greater extent the demands made upon Austria by
the many people of its sundered provinces. Concessions
have already been made in Moravia and Upper Austria.
The uneasy kingdoms of Lombardy, Bohemia, &e., will,
naturally, riot be behindhand in calling for greater privi-
ltes ; and, whatever may be the consequences to the
Austrian dominions of this grant of a constitution in
Prussia. there can be no doubt that they will be consi-
derable ; and Austria is necessarily greatly on the
,alert
to avert or modify results that may prove injurious
to its internal peace. A proof of this anxiety
on the part of the Austrian Goverment may be
found in the many new enactments passed to
ameliorate the condition of the army and miti-
gate the rigour of the military service, and in the milder
and more paternal regulations lately effected to attach
the soldiery more closely, and by a better tie, to the Go-
vernment. By these conciliatory measures in favour of
the army, it evidently hopes to find a poitt crappui in the
time of need ; and this fact, at such a juncture, is as itn-
portdra as it is remarkable. Nevertheless, it is presumed
that Metternich, however aware he may be that Prussia
has already advanced too far to retreat—that too much
has already ben said for nothing to be done—will seek
to employ, at the meeting of the Monarchs on the Rhine,
his last chance of persuasion upon the King of Prussia
to return upon his steps and withdraw the expected
constitution. The. failure of any such hope can scarcely
be doubted for a moment ; but Prince Metternich is not
a mla to leave a stone unturned. Should events, how-
ever, run their expected course, it may be surmised that
Austria will find itself compelled to follow although at
a d at sacs, in the same course, and instead of severing
itself' entirely from the other German States, will seek
means to npproaeh them nearer, and bind itself with
them a;ain more closely. _ _ _

Among the latest rumours afloat in the political circles
of I,liii capital is the renewed supposition of a marriage
between the Count de Chambord (the Duke de Bordeaux)
and a Princess of Modena. The little court balls lately
given at Scheenbrunn in honour of the Modena family,
combined with the presence of the members of the elder
branch of the Bourbons, have again given rise to these
coal ctures.

The opening of the great line of railroad from Vienna
to Prague is definitively fixed for the 20th of this month.
The entire corps diplomatique, or rather such of its mem•
hers as still linger m Vienna as charge d'affaires ad
krinz, have been invited to accompany the Emperor
upon the expedition, which is to take place on the occa-
sion of the solemnity of opening this new and important
line Tt will b.. 4 possible to accomplish the whole distance
fro'n Vienna to Prague in one day ; but upon this occa-
sion the first thy's journey will be ended at BrUnn, where
the Emperor, with his whole brilliant cortege, will he re-
ceived by the Moravian authorities ; speeches will be:
male and banquets given. The next day the Austrian
Court will arrive at Prague, where festivities and various
so!erunities will take place for two days. On the sth it
is prop:43:A that the Emperor, with his trsio of distin-
guishel guests, shotil4 return to Vienna.—Times.
