JSLE OF WIGHT RAILWAY.
A COMPANY is in course of formation for the purpose of con-

A Preliminary survey of the country and investigation into
tradle have been made, which justify the expectation that a system
of rit'lway communication can be framed, calculated to turtker the
interests and develop the resources of the island, and to render a
liberal return for the capital to be invested, withoat unduly invading
the privacy of property.
The promoters are anxious to give 11t11 consideration to parties
locally interested; but It is hoped that as the amount of capital re-
quired for the undertaking is limited, applicants for shares will
confine their claims to such a number as they nutty desire per-
manently to hold.

Capital, $100,900,is 25,000 Slhares of £2O sash.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
With the exception of the Suffolk Stakes, which I booked
as a certainty for t'auld mare, my estimate of the running
last week at Newmarket and Manchester was tolerably
correct.

The object which has fora long time occupied the attention of
every railway proprietary whose line terminates near the metropolis,
viz., the attainment of some point for their terminus situated more
centrally, and with readier aocess to London travellers than their pre-
sent Nike, appear now to be In oilutteepf completion. •.•
Two principal lines of railway, the South Western and South
Eastern, have proposed and intend to carry into effect extensions of
their lines from the existing termini to the neighbourhood of the
Waterloo and Hungerford Bridges, and to this point the traffic from
Birmingham and the North of England will also be enabled to pro-
ceed, through the contemplated extension of the West London Rail-
way, aeross the Thames to a junction with the South Western Line.
The perfect attainment of the object in view will, however, remain
unaccomplished, so long as the terminating point is kept on the south
side of the river; since, although a considerable improvement as
compared with the present positions will thereby be effected, still the
station in the Waterloo-bridge-road is remote and inconvenient to the
larger proportion of travellers, and the evils now so justly complained
of will be far from completely obviated.
It is with the view of supplying this deficiency that the promoters
of the London Central Railway Terminus lay their project before the
public. They propose to provide means whereby the passenger ear-
riages from every line in connexion with the metropolis, can be con-
veyed across the Thames to a general station erected in the imme-
diate vicinity of Charing-cross.
For this purpose plans have been prepared, which have resolved
the approval of the most eminent engineers, for carrying a double
line of rails over the river, adjoining the new Hungerford Suspension-
bridge, and supported by a simple and inexpensive addition to the
present erections of that structure.

During the present week some very good sport will be seen
at the Gorhambury and Shrewsbury meetings. The former
commences this day with the Gorhambury Handicap, which,
if Fitzallen does not carry off, will moat assuredly be pocketed
by Mr. Meiklam. The Pim Stakes, for three-year. olds, will
have Crim Con for winner.

The Brigade Stakes will have Scarmentado for winner if
he goes, if not The Altered One.
On Wednesday Lord Verulam will pocket the Double
Headed Oak Stakes with Maynooth, Crim Con second.
The Park Stakes, for two-year-olds, has a dozen nomina-
tions, several of which I know nothing about, but I should
say Cherokee and Anna Bullen would be the first two at the
finish.

The St. Alban's Handicap I shall leave to Auld Lang
Syne or Europa, the latter the victor. -
At Shrewsbury, on Wednesday, the 20 sous. Sweepstakes
for three-year-olds, will go into Mr. Hill's pocket.
The Great Cleveland Handicap has 21 acceptances, and is
very likely to produce a good race. Milton and Young
Lochinvar are in very nicely, and will be close up at the
finish ; but, as in the previous race, Mr. Kill will own the
winner.

The Innkeepers' Plate will go to Mr. Meiklam, with Inhe.
ritress, or else to Mr. Hill.

For the vast amount of traffic which will thus be brought to the
Middlesex side of the river, it is intended to provide a central station
of corresponding magnitude. The Company, therefore, purpose to
undertake the execution of an embankment, in connexion with the
scheme of Ihe Government for embanking the Thames, for the dis-
tance lying between Waterloo and Hungerford-bridles, and on the
area thus obtained from the river, to erect a station of size sufficient
to supply the purposes of every separate railway, and furnished with
every requisite provision for the wants of the respective Companies
and the convenience of their passengers. The property of the Com-
pany will extend through the whole frontage of the Adelphi-terrace,
the present buildings of which, as well as those to be hereafter
erected, will be admirably adapted for a series of splendid hotels.
This project would have been before the public at an earlier period,
but the projectors were desirous of obtaining the full concurrence of
her Majesty's Commissioners for Metropolitan Improvements; and
they are now enabled to state, that the plans of the said embank-
ment have been laid before the Commissioners, and have met with
their decided approval.
On the south side of tke river the proposed railway will join the
several extension lines at their nearest point of approach to the
Thames and to each other, and thus will constitute a leader into the
heart of London for the Birmingham, South Western, Brighton, and
South Eastern lines, at present existing, as well as for the various
proposed lines through Kent, and to Richmond and Stained, which
will shortly be in course of construction. The Directors of several
of the above-mentioned Companies have already expressed their ap-
probation of the undertaking; but the advantages it offers aro so
great and obvious that there can be no doubt of the cordial co-opera-
tion of the managers and proprietors of the ether lines, without ex-
eeption.

The Hawkstone Cup ought to go to either Alice Haw-
thorn or Foig-a-ballagh, should either start.
I will, in conclusion, say a few words on the approaching
Derby. At present it seems likely that about four or five-
and-twenty will be brought to the post, of which the follow-
ing are the " cream :"—ldas, Weatherbit, The Libel, Pam,
Old England, Pantasa, Laird-e'-Cockpen, and Maynooth.
Out of these the three best to stand upon are Old England,
Pantasa, and The Libel.

I shall enter more fully into the " crack affairs" at Epsom
next week. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

Out of the above unusually' full list, we may make a se-
lection of four horses as having been in very general favour,
namely, Idas,Weatherbit, Alarm, and Doleful. The odds laid
against the first were the same that we have quoted for
some time, namely, 2 to 1, but as on all previous occasions,
offered at the finish. On Weatherbit the outlay was small,
owing, not to the want of friends—of these there was no-lack—
but to the refusal of the layers to exceed 7to 1. Alarm was
backed heavily at 10 and 11 to 1, and Doleful, near the end

The plan presents no features of difficulty, or involving the neces-
sity of any extraordinary expense. The ground t• be occupied by
the station will, ttom its peculiar character, be obtainable at a com-
paratively small cost; and from estimates carefully prepared, it is
proved that a capital of 500,0001. will be sufficient for the accomplish-
ment of every purpose in contemplation. This capital it is proposed
to raise in 24,000 shares of 201. each.

In order to favour the maltitudlnous travellers for short distances
out of London, the toll charged to passengers for any station short of
twenty miles will be less than that required from those bound on
more extended journeys, and who are more likely to be membered
with luggage. An average of 2d. has been assumed •pan the whole
number estimated.

From the traffic returns of the railways now completed, together
with the increase to be derived from the lines at present before Par-
liament, it is estimated that the annual number of arrivals and de-
partures of passengers from their London termini, who will select the
Central Station for their landing point, will amount to 5,500,000;
the groes receipt from whom, at a toll of Id. each, will be 45,0001. per
annum. From this amount a deduction of 20 per cent. for working
expenses, &c. (including the rental to the Proprietors of Hengertbrd-
bridge , will be amply sufficient, as the Company will have no need
of locomotives, and therefore be freed from those items which occa-
Mon the heaviest expenditure en other railways. This will leave a

Nothing decisive has transpired with respect to this horse's
nomination • but from inquiries we have made, there is great
reason to believe that he was named by the Capt. Williams,
whose death was announced about ten days ago, and, there-
fore, disqualified from starting for the Derby.
It is essential for those who have bets on the Derby and
Oaks to bear in mind that Thursday next is comparing day;
the necessity of attending to this cannot be too strongly en-
forced.

SIR,—In the first page of the Salisbnry Journal (now in my

nouncement :—" We hear that in a few days a gentleman is to
perform an experiment before his Royal Highness, the Duke of
Cumberland, his Grace the Duke of Marlborough, and Lord
Anson, of an invention of the great Marquis of Worcester, but
highly improved by himself, which is of a composition to be fired
from a cannon, and can be thrown ten miles, by which he proposes,
by being stationed in a ship at the mouth of any harbour, to
destroy every ship in it."—Yours respectfully,

AN IMPORTANT NEW WORK.—We learn that Mr
Bentley has in the press, and will publish in the course of a very
few days, a new work by the Hon. Richard Rush, consisting of an
account of his embassy at the Court of London, from 1819 to 1825,
which embraces the negotiations of the important questions con-
nected with Oregon, the Boundary Line, Free Navigation of the
St. Lawrence, Right of Search, &c. Connected with these grave
and important matters, the work abounds with anecdotes and
conversations of the statesmen and wits of the day. The pro-
trracted negotiations, it may be remembered, were carried on with
Lord Castlereagh, Mr. Canning, Mr. Huskisson, &c. The work is
a second series of Mr. Rush's " Residence in London," published
some years since.
Mr. Wilson continues his Betentertainmen at the
Music Hall with undiminished success.
Last night he gave
" Anither Nicht wi' Burns," being a sequel to the former " Nicht,"
all the songs of which were sung and acted vr:th this favourite vo-
calist's usual thrilling style. He announced that his " Morning
Entertainments," at the Queen's Concert Rooms, commence to-
morrow, where he had such fashionable audiences last Seaton; we
doubt not but they will be equally successful this time.
THE SUPPOSED MURDER NEAR HAMPSTEAD.—
Mrs. Cunningham, the wife of the unfortunate man who was
found dead in a ditch at Hampstead, states that when he left home
on Thursday evening he had with him a pair of silver spectacles,
which he purchased at Mr. Woodward's, the optician, of Clement's
Inn-passage, and gave '2Bs. for them. As neither these nor his
hat have as yet, been found, it strengthens the suspicions that some
foul play has been practised towards him. Shortly before he wase
last seen by his friends, he called at the shop of his employer, Mr.
Moody, of the Strand, and inquired respecting a coat which he
had to make, promising shortly to return. Although he was
noticed by several persons in the neighbourhood of Hampstead
upon the Friday afternoon, he is known to have been seen in com-
pany with two men in Russell-square, as late as half.past eight on
the same evening ; at that time he had a smiaell stick with him, and
