Deposit 21. 12s. 6d. per Share.
This important line is projected for the purpose of opening a direct,
uninterrupted, continuous communication between the northern,
north-eastern, and western counties of England, uniting the important
shipping port of Bristol with the agricultural and manufacturing dis-
tricts in the north and midland counties ; and, as it runs in a trans-
verse direction, it will not interfere with any line now in operation ;
but, on the contrary, whilst it receives, will give support to all the
northern, midland, and north-eastern lines.
Prospectuses, with a plan, will be issued in a few days ; in the
meantime applications for shares may be addressed to the Solicitors
to the Company, Messrs. CAMPBELL and WITTY.

Arrangements are in progress for the formation of a Company to
make an Atmospheric Railway from Dorking (or Epsom) to
Brighton, through Horsham and Shoreham, and from Horsham to
Arundel, thereby affording (either by means of a junction with the
Direct London and Portsmouth Atmospheric Railway, at Dorking, or
thn Croydon Atmospheric Railway, at Epsom) to the Intermediate very
populous and wealthy district the important advantages of a direct
communication with the metropolis, and also with the coast, from
which it is at present excluded, as well as forming the best connect-
ing lin!: between that district and the ports of Shoreham, Arundel,
Portsmouth, and Southampton, and the principal towns of Surrey,
Sussex, Kent, and Hants.
A. detailed prospectus, with the names of the Provisional Com-
mittee, will be shortly published ; and in the meantime communica-
tions may be addressed to Messrs. Campbell and Witty, 21, Essex-
street, Strand; Messrs. A ttree, Clarke, and MacWhinnie, and Messrs.
Upperton, Verrali, and Veysey, Brighton ; Messrs. Coppard and
Rawlison, Horsham ; Messrs. Everest and Wardroper, Epsom ; and

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
the project in Parliament, should a Bill be sought for.

South Wales, abounding in natural harbours and mineral pro-
ductions, and celebrated for the magnitude and excellence of its
manufactures, is justly esteemed, both in a naval and commercial
point of view, as one of the most important districts of Great
Britain.
Its connexion with London has become of such paramount im-
portance as to demand the most direct and perfect communication
that can possibly be established. This is the main object of the pro-
posed undertaking.
This Railway will proceed from London to Hungerford by the
Great Western Railway, there leaving that railway and running
almost in a straight line by Marlborough, Caine, and Chippenham,
where it will again join the Great Western Railway : thus giving to
the towns of Marlborough and Caine (which at present have no
railway) a direct communication with London • and also with Bath,
Bristol, the South Western Counties of England and South Wales.
From Chippenham the line will pass near Chipping Sodbury,
and proceed to the Bristol and Gloucester Railway at Westerleigh
(about eight miles from Bristol), and by a junction with that rail-
way the direct line from London to Bristol will be completed.
From Westerleigh the line will be continued to the river Severn at
Aust, and be carried across that river by means of the fixed bridge of
the Bristol and Liverpool Junction Railway. On the Monmouth-
shire side of the river It will proceed for another half mile over the
river Wye, direct to, and terminate at, the South Wales Railway,
near to Hunger Pill. This last half mile will of itself effect a saving
in distance between London and South Wales of about four mlles.
By taking advantage, as far as possible, of existing railways, this
project will complete at once the most direct and best trunk-line
from London to Bath, Bristol, and the South-Western Counties of
England ; but mere especially to Chepstow, Newport, Cardiff, Swan-
sea, Milford Haven, the whole of South %Vales, and Ireland.
The following are the savings in distance effected by the proposed

line:—
Between London and Bath, via Hungerford, the pro-
posed line as far as Chippenham, and the Great
Western Railway ••• • • • • ..... •••••• • .. • • •••• about 7 Miles
Between London and Bristol, via Hungerford, the
proposed line as far as Westerleigh, and the Bristol
and Gloucester Railway.... ..... ...............
Between London and the whole of South Wales, via
the Great Western Railway, the proposed tunnel
under the Severn at Hock Crib, and the South
Wales Railway to Hunger Pill..
Between London and the whole of South Wales, via
the Great Western, and the Bristol and Liverpool
Junction Railways ...... ............... about 23 miles.
These great savings in distance are by no means the principal
features of the undertaking. By this direct communication between
London and Bristol the Box tunnel will be entirely avoided, an im-
portant fact which will no doubt have a most powerful effect with
passengers.
Moreover passengers to and from South Wales will be enabled to
travel at all times by means of the fixed bridge over the Severn at
the Aust or Old Passage ; thus avoiding on the one hand the well-
known dangers, inconveniences, delays, and difficulties of the open
ferry of two miles and a half, at the New Passage, proposed by the
Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway Company; and, on the
other hand, the tunnel of about a mile under the Severn, proposed by
the louth Wales Railway Company, which (even if capable of con-
struction) must ever leave the public apprehensive of accident.
Reference to a Map will clearly demonstrate that the great stream
of passengers and traffic between London, Bristol, the South-Western
Counties and Ireland will flow through the proposed line and South
Wales to Milford Haven and Fishguard Harbour. The establishment
of Valentia, as the chief out-port to the Canadas and the United
States, will moreover create a traffic, via South Wales, never hitherto
contemplated. But supposing Valentia should not become that out-
port, there can be no doubt that Milford Haven, from its extreme
western position and natural advantages, must.
Independently of the passenger traffic above referred to, the faci-
lities which the line will, afford to the unequalled iron works of
South Wales, and the extensive copper and tin works of Swansea and
Neath must induce the manufacturer to transmit his goods with
safety, economy, and rapidity by rail, rather than with hazard and
delay by sea.
A new and most important market will be opened to the owners
of collieries in South Wales. Newport will be brought within 129
tidies of London ; and it may be confidently asserted that the Metro-
polis will draw an immense supply of coal from that neighbourhood,
inasmuch as coal of most excellent quality can be delivered in Lon-
don from the Welsh collieries at about 15s. per ton.
The principal advantages of direct railway communication between
important termini are now too universally admitted both by Parlia-
ment and the public to need argument. Many important direct lines
have been aireadyfavourably received; but when the savings in distance
—the avoidance of a ferry and tunnels—the new channels for traffic—
the giving of railway accommodation to a large district—and the
establishment of the most direct and complete communication be-
tween London and Bath, Bristol, and South Wales are recollected—
and especially that these important benefits can be obtained by the
formation of a line fifty-two miles only in length—it is confidently as-
serted that the proposed railway holds out advantages superior to
any hitherto projected, and will at the same time prove, if not the
most, one of the most profitable Investments ever offered to the
public.
The subscribers will be held liable only to the extent of their first
deposits, until an Act of Parliament is obtained, and afterwards only
to the amount of their subscriptions.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this
Company shall be under the management and control of the Com-
mittee of Management, as appointed.
Power will be applied for in the Act—and in the meantime is
hereby given to the Committee of Management—to increase the
capital, if necessary ; to alter or abandon any part of the line, to
make branch lines, or enter into arrangements with any other com-
pany or companies ; and also to nominate the first Directors of the
Company.
The Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement will be
ready for signature on payment of the deposits.
Applications for prospectuses and shares may be made to the soli-
citor ; or to Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, Threadneedle-street ;

visional Conunittee, the solicitor, bankers, or brokers of the Company.

tensive -consequences than any other notice which the
Tractarian innovation has yet elicited. Let the Church
be wise in time. This is a "sign" of the days on which we
have fallen not to be mistaken. It is for her or against her ;
she must not imagine that she can afford to be indifferent to
it. The Church cannot exist—and this is an impressive
fact—except in virtue of her Protestantism. But her minis-
ters have too long tampered and compromised with the pre-
tensions and practices of Popery under the disguise of
Puseyism—(a disguise so flimsy and transparent that she
will be adjudged by all the other professions of Chris-
tendom absolutely inexcusable for having been deceived
by it)—not to have created a just degree of apprehension
throughout the whole Protestant world as to her fidelity to
the great doctrines affirmed at the Reformation. The Church
of England has no right to complain if her loyalty to the
cause in the van of which she had moved for three centuries
be thus suspected. She is like all individuals who temporise
with cardinal truths. The attempt to bend these,so as to ac-
commodate them to external influences, or the pressure oft' e
passing exigency, impeaches with the rest of mankind, in
all time to come, her professions, however solemnly
or circumstantially asseverated, of unshaken attach-
ment to them. Her priests and deacons have not been
the only keepers of her fold who have parleyed with the
wolf of Romanism without, and half opened the door for its
admission. Some of the prelates, and other dignitaries of
the Establishment, fascinated by its specious advances, would
doubtless have betrayed their charge but for others, their
inferiors, who more vigilantly watched, and more lustily ex-
claimed against the stealthy intruder. It is in vain to deny
that the Protestant hierarchy, as a body, are too deeply
enamoured of the outward pomp, ceremonial, and showy
vanities of those forms to which the Roman hierarchy attach
so much essential value. " Puseyism" has accurately
hit this weakness, and but two successfully tempted this
foible. The Bishop of LONDON is evidently disposed to look,
from his prelatical throne, with entire complacency on stone
altars, multiplied genuflexions, white surplices in pulpits,
massive tapers, and mysterious obeisances at the altar-table.
But for the indignation excited in the public mind by his
haughty, and overweening, and even insolent deportment
towards the laity within his diocese, In the famous Ware and
Enfield, and other correspondences arising out of Puseyite inno-
vation, this overbearing Churchman would have been emulat-

ing by this time the usurpations on private judgment of his
predecessor, BON ER, and the persecuting intolerance of
LAUD. He has all the amiability of one in the discharge of
his ecclesiastical functions—all the ambition of the other for

the aggrandisement of his order-and of himself: Nor is
CHARLES JAMES the only Right Reverend Father in the Esta-
blishment smitten with this unprimitive spirit of worldly
advancement. There be many others, as their acts and
writings have shown. The grand evil of all this is, that
these tendencies seem to be the natural consecr ences or con-
comitant, at any rate, of our to largely endowed hierarchi-
cal institution.

Under these circumstances we rejoice to see that a manly,

intelligible, and uncompromising stand for Protestantism—its
spirit, its doctrines, its principles, its glorious inheritance of
civil and religious freedom—is about to be made by Christian
professions of all denominations in connexion with it against
the encroachments of that proselytising enterprise still inhe-
rent in the ancient but corrupted successor of the primitive
Christian Church, which is not Protestant in any shape or
of any kind at all. Since the Church, holding between
Augsburg and Rome, the theology of the Vatican and the
doctrine of LUTHER, has neglected to convene •an assembly
of her ministers from all quarters to enter their solemn pro-
_

test against the insidious heresy which has crept into "her
holy places," we heartily rejoice that the Protestant Dis-
senters from some part of her ritual, and some lessons of her
teaching, are about to take upon themselves the noble duty
of vindicating the integrity and purity of that Protestantism
which is common to them and to our Church.

At the annual dinner of the East Suffolk Agricultural
Association, which took place at Halseworth oo Thursday,
two short speeches were made which may ba regarded as
signs of the times. Lord STBADBROKE, President of the
Association, was in the chair, and spoke strongly in favour of
granting leases to tenants on three grounds :—Because they
enable and encourage the tenant to invest his capital, and
give him due and proper time to realise remuneration fur
that investment. They are also advantageous to the land-
lord, for they give him confidence that his land will be better
cultivated, and they insure better and more constant
employment for the poor than they could otherwise insure.
These arguments in favour of leases were received, by about
250 farmers, with loud cheers. All persons acquainted with
farming knew that to such a result must the question
come, as soon as strong political feeling had subsided,
and landlords preferred the benefit of their tenants,
and also their own real interests, to the deceitful
hopes inspired by victories at elections. But this omen,
favourable as it is, is nothing when compared with the
view .taken of the corn-laws by a good- Tory, and
an honest representative of public feeling, Cap-
tain Rous, the Member for Westminster. His
brief speech, in fact, leaves no doubt that he is
at heart a corn-law repealer, and that he considers the

time has arrived when Sir ROBERT PEEL =St reduce or
abolish altogether the duty on corn. "It was a well-
known fact," said he, " that the inhabitants of
this country were annually increased to the ex-
tent of 400,000, and it was also well known that Oa
resources of the country, though not developed to the
limit which they might be, never could be adequate to-
supply the wants of a people multiplying so rapidly. What
then, he would ask, would be the case if this state of things
existed forty years hence ? The idea was a dreadful one
to contemplate, and he was at a loss to conceive how
any Minister of this country could lay his head on
his pillow, and regard such a prospect without a feeling
of horror. This country presented an anomaly to the prac-
tice adopted in all other countries similarly situated. He
would not contrast it with any European state; he would
compare the practice to .the Celestial Empire, and he was
quite sure the result would prove that the Government of
China had far surpassed that of Great Britain in the
measures they had taken to ameliorate the condition of
the bulk of the people. What was the practice adopted in
China with respect to the laws that regulated the importa-
tion of food ? Now it must be recollected in that country
there was a population of not less than 300,000,000 souls.
To supply with food this vast population, the Government
of China not only threw open the ports for the admission of
foreign •vessels conveying rice and other articles
of consumption, but also relieved them from the
necessity of paying harbour dues or other:ordinary charges."
These are noble sentiments, expressed, too, by a representa-
tive of the landed interest, and cheered by an assembly of
landowners and tenants. We have no occasion to add one
word to give them effect. They are plain to the most com-
mon understanding, and will do more for the League than
ten great meetings at Covent-garden.

Madrid journals of the sth inst. have been received, but
they bring no particulars of the disturbance announced in a
telegraphic dispatch, which took place on the evening of that
day. Some of them state that the Junta of Commerce, with
the Constitutional Alcade at its head, had been to the Mi-
nister of Finance, and presented to him a memorial on the
new system of taxation, 'which, as it is known, was the
cause of the riots on the 19th ult. The Minister promised
to consider attentively the observations it made, and which
bore principally on the necessity of dividing the taxes into
classes, and making a radical reform in the tariff of the cus-
toms. The Juntas of Commerce of Valencia and Cadiz have
also sent representations to the Government against M.
Mores system of levying the taxes.
Only one operation in the Three per Cents. was quoted on
the Bourse, to the amount of 400,000 reals, the price being
the same as on the previous day, 3134 at 60 days.

The Paris papers announce the arrival of Marshal BUGEAUD
on Saturday night, at Cette, under a salute of cannon. He
was to leave next morning it was understood for Soultberg,
the seat of Marshal SOU LT. A general belief prevailed that
owing to the misunderstanding between BUGEAUD and the
Ministry, relative to the system of government in Algeria, a
successor to the hero of Isly would speedily be appointed.
Indeed, his address to a deputation of merchants and other
civilians, who waited upon him before his departure from
Algiers, implies that he would probably not return again to
the country. " You appear to think," said he, " that
my presence is still necessary here, and that it
would be too difficult to replace me. Allow me,
however, to say that you are in error. In the army are
there not abundance of generals formed in the school of ex-
perience, and already worthy to succeed me 2" He after-
wards adds, " I am identified with you, and when I shall be
no longer at the head of your Government, you may always
reckon the among the number of your citizens." On this
subject the Courrier Francais says :—" There exists between
the Minister of War and the Governor-General plenty of
subjects of difference, and these difficulties are far from being
smoothed down. In the first rank is the question of Ka-
bylia, and the profession of faith by Marshal BUGEAUD, in
his reply to the inhabitants of Algiers, is not of a nature
to diminish the causes of misunderstanding between
the two Marshals. Whilst the Government of the mother
country, and the whole people reject the idea of
bringing the district of Kabylia under subjection by
force, M. BUGEAUD proclaims that when he returns
to Algiers his principal care shall be to carry the war to the
extremities of Algeria. The disaccord is most marked, and
who will yield ? It is not probable that Marshal SOULT, with
the whole nation at his back, will capitulate to the Duke
D'IsLY, though flanked by M. LICuTLIN and his 300 signa-
tures. The only possible solution of the question, therefore,
is the definitive recal of the Governor-Gencral. It is not
alone the war in Kabylia that Marshal BUGEAUD clings to;
he is, perhaps, even more anxious about his absurd plans of
colonisation. He thinks that civil institutions weaken states,
and he is so infatuated with his own ideas, that the facts
passing under his eyes are just as if they did not
take place. His illusions are so great that he declares
without hesitation that in no place has the civil po-
pulation dreaded military rule. If such be the case,
how is it that the work of colonisation is so little
advanced?" Accounts from Marseilles of the Bth state that
the evolutionary fleet under the command of Admiral PAR-
SEVAL- DECHENES had been met by the Phdnician steamer
about fifty leagues from the French coast, steering to the
southward.
A letter from Toulon, of the same date says There
is every reason now to believe, from the result of the investi-
gations of the authorities, that the late fire at the arsenal
was entirely accidsntar Orders had been received from
Paris by the Prefect of the Bouches du Rhon to prepare
spartalcnta fe; Ain GARIA4 and hie mite, who are to re-

main for three months in Marseilles. Don CARLOS and

the Princess de BEIRA will be accompanied by nine officers,
&c , and eleven servants.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were 6,000
bales, including 2,000 on speculation, with a steady market.
Shares were very active, and a large business was done.
The Pacific Steam Navigation Company has just concluded
a contract with the British Government for the conveyance
of the mails on the west coast between Valparaiso and
Panama. From the latter place they will cross the Isthmus
to Chagres, and thence be brought to this country by the
West India Royal Mail Company. Great advantages will re-
sult to the mercantile public by the accelerated transmission
of correspondence between the west coast and this country,
and the time that will be saved in the remittance of trea-
sure which has hitherto come by the circuitous route
to Cape Horn. We congratulate the Pacific Steam
Navigation Company on the advantages which they will reap
in the shape of a large increase of revenue. This, added to
the important exclusive privileges conceded to the company
by the South American Government, should make this one
of the most flourishing concerns connected with steam navi-
gation ; and to the praise of the Liverpool people be it said,
they have stood by the concern in the days of mismanage-
ment, when anything but a satisfactory result was probable.
We shall expect soon to hear of a communication by this
route to our Australian and New Zealand colonies—a most
important consideration.
There are some late accounts from Buenos Ayres this
morning. There appears to have been a slight difference
between the British commander on the station and the
authorities, but not much was thought of it. There is not
any commercial news of importance in the letters that have
come to hand by the present opportunity.
The only quotations of Consols for Money to-day have
been 98% %, and 9834 for the Account. The premium
on Exchequer-bills is steady, and indeed rather firm, at 465.
to 48s. Bank Stock, which is at 213% for the Account, has
been sold at 213%.
In the Foreign Market the value of Brazilian Bonds is up
to 90. Mexicans are a shade in advance, at 33 for Money.
The Spanish Three per Cents. have been done at 38%, and
the Belgian Four per Cents. at per cent. above par.
The Great Western Railway Shares have been subjected
to many variations to-day. They opened at 162, fell to
155, and have rallied to 160. The Half and the Fifth Shares
are but a trifle lower than yesterday. An advance has been
submitted to in the Birmingham and Gloucester, in the Bos-
ton, Stamford, and Birmingham, in the Grand Union, in the
Leicester and Bedford, and in the Londonderry and Cole-
raine. The Midlands commenced at 166%, they are now
169; and the York and North Midlands are a shade better.
Th'e French Lines are scarcely so firm as yesterday. Busi-
ness on the whole in Shares is rather animated. British
Iron Scrip (101. paid) has been sold at 141. 103. per share.
The corrected prices for the day of all other shares are an-
nexed.
