The formation of a railway from Nottingham to Boston is, unques-
tionably, of the greatest importance to the whole of the districts and
towns which it will connect, and will prove highly advantageous to
the manufacturing and agricultural interests. By reference to the
map of England, it will be seen that Boston is only about forty-eight
miles from Nottingham, while all other sea-ports, on the east coast,
are at a much greater distance from Nottingham. A very great
traffic already exists between Boston and Nottingham, which may be
increased almost to an incalculable amount when the facilities
of railway transit are completed. The export trade from Boston is
now comparatively Mulled, by the want of means of conveyance
from the manufacturing districts, which this railroad will supply.
Boston is situate in the midst of the finest land in the kingdom;
and this part of Lincolnshire may be justly termed the garden of the
manufacturing district of England. The produce of the whole dis-
trict, particularly its wheat, is consumed in the large manufacturing
towns ; and the carriage of corn and cattle, to the great centres of
population, will alone furnish a constant and certain source of
revenue.

In addition is this, a large traffic will be carried along the line,
in manufacture goods, and in coal and lime from the Nottingham-
shire and Derbyshire coal fields, to rural districts through which it
passes, and to the shore of the German Ocean ; the latter traffic is
yet to be developed, and with the cheap traasit provided by this line
the important article of coal will compete at a great advantage to
the consumer with the present supply, which is now brought by sea
from Newcastle.

A very considerable amount of the vast staple produce of Notting-
ham, Derby, Loughborough, Leicester, and the neighbourhood, which
is exported to Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Germany, and all other
parts of the Baltic, is now conveyed by a circuitous and expensive'
route to Hull and London, and thence, after repeated removals by
ship or steamer, to its destination; whereas, On the completion of this

line, it would be transmitted direct to Boston, and thence to the be-
fore-mentioned places, in much less time, and at a much less expense.
Boston is not only the nearest seaport town to Nottingham, but it
is the natural seaport of the manufacturing towns of the whole of the
midland district, and it is the most convenient, safest, and best
situated on the eastern coast, for the shipment and transhipment of
merchandise. By recent improvements the river, or arm of the sea,
which runs through the centre of the town, has been widened and
deepened, thus affording means for *vessels of from three to four hun-
dred tons burthen, to take in and discharge their cargoes at the
wharf-side, without risk or damage, an object of importance not only
in point of security to the goods, but also in the saving of expense
usually incurred for lighter charges.

The nature of the country through which the line will pass is most
favourable in its facilities for construction : it is nearly on a dead level.
The cost of construction will be as low as that of any line in the
kingdom ; and the Company will not have to encounter the opposi-
tion of the owners of the land and estates through which the line will
pass, they being, as far as can be ascertained, most favourably dis-
posed towards the undertaking.
It will be seen that the proposed line combines all the elements of
a profitable railway ; it has a seaport town as one of the termini;
it passes through a rich and productive agricultural district, to the
great seats of manufacture and consumption, each being a certain
source of traffic ; and It affords ready communication with the
southern, northern, and midland counties.
It is Intended to apply for power in the Act to allow four per cent.
interest upon deposits, until the completion of the line.
Applications for shares may be made in the subjoined form, ad-
dressed to the Provisional Committee, at the Office of the Company,
14, Birchin-lane, Lombard-street, London; or to the Solicitors.
No person need apply for shares unless the application is accom-
panied by an unexceptionable reference. A certain number of shares
will be reserved for owners of land on the line, and for parties resident
In the locality through which the line will pass.

' We, the undersigned, William IL Colquhoun, Advocate, Sheriff-
Substitute of Inverness-shire, -and- John Mackenzie, banker in In-
verness, were appointed a a-putation to solicit Subscriptions in Lon-
. don, in aid of the proposed Asylum.
And being now arrived here, in pursnance of our mission, we beg
leave to send you some particulars regarding the proposed establish-
ment, In the hope that you-will be pleased to .give, it the- benefit of
your support by contribution or otherwise, Under that impression,

kind enough to favour us with your views, to the above address, on
or before 12th instant. -
The primary object of the projected Institution is the aceommoda-•
tion ofpauper lunatics, and of other lunatics in poor circumstances,
in the northern counties of Scotland, which comprise an extent of
surface equal to one-third of all 'Scotland, and have a population of
about 250,000. Yet, with the exception of a very few ceps attached
to the infirmary at Inverness, there is notany provision made in all
this wide district for the secure confinement or medical treatment of
the insane, the poorer classes of whom, amounting in number to up-
wards of 700, are left in a state of wretched destitution, eithir burden-
some to their poor relatives and paralysing their industry, or roam •
ing about the country in search of a precarious subsistence—pitiable
on account of their calamity, often alarming and dangerous to the
community from their furious conduct, at once the disgrace, the in-
jury, and the terror of the country.
To abate this crying evil, this heart-sickening and frightful neglect
and destitution, it is proposed to erect at Inverness, as the most
central and convenient point, an Asylum for pauper lunatics, and for
other lunatics in poor circumstances belonging to the northern coun-
ties. As a subsidiary and ulterior measure, provision will be made
for the addition afterwards of apartments for richer classes of patients.
The funds for this purpose can only be obtained by the voluntary
contributions of such benevolent persons as are interested in the wel-
fare of the wide district of country referred to, or in the mitigation of
human suffering generally. It is estimated that at least 8,000/. will
be required to erect the xi, cessary buildings, and to form a fund for
the permanent endowment of the Institution. Already considerable
progress has been made, principally in the North of Scotland, In pro-
curing subscriptions; and hopes are confidently entertained that
with Metropolitan, and perhaps Colonial aid, the necessary funds
will be obtained to secure this invaluable boon for the poor, and re-
move one of the worst blots on the humanity of our countrymen.
The rules for the government of the Institution will be of course de-
termined at a general meeting of the Subscribers, and will be sub-
mitted to them on principles fitted to secure a liberal and efficient
system of management, comprehending the chief official ftmtionaries
of the district, but giving to the Subscribers due and ample powers of
control and recommendation

We are, respectfully,
Your very obedient servants,

THE CIRCUITS' COMMISSION
REPORT.

TO THE QUEEN'S MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY.
Your Majesty having been pleased to issue a commis-
sion under the great seal, dated the 14th of February,
1845, directed to Sir James Parke, Knight, one of the
Barons of your Majesty s Exchequer ; Sir Edward
Hall Alderson, Knight, one other of the said Barons ;
Sir John Taylor Coleridge, Knight, one of the
Justices of your Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench
the Honourable James Stuart Wortley, Fitzroy
Kelly, and William Whateley, and John Green-
wood, Esquires, and Sir William Heatbcote, Baronet ;
and Edmund Denison and Thomas Grimstone Bucknall
Estcourt, Esquires ; whereby, after reciting that it had
been humbly represented unto your Majesty that the
circuits of the judges in England and Wales are very
unequal, as well in extent as with respect to the number
of causes tried upon such circuits respectively, and that
the intervals between the period of holding the same
in each year are also very unequal ; and that it had
been consic ered that some alteration in these parti-
culars might be conducive to the public good, your
Majesty was graciously pleased to appoint the said seve-
ral persons, or any five or more of them, to be your Ma-
jesty's Commissioners for inquiring and considering
whether it would be expedient, with a view to the more
convenient and better administration of justice, that any
and what alteration should be made in the division of
England and Wales into circuits for judicial business,
and in the periods for holding such circuits, and whether
it would be necessary or proper that any change should
be made in the law terms for the purpose of such altera-
tions, and also for considering in what manner such al-
terations may be best effected :
We, the commissioners, whose hands and seals are
hereunto set, have carefully examined into the questions
referred to us, and humbly report to your Majesty the
result of our inquiries.
We first proceeded to consider whether the in-
conveniences arising from the unequal division of
the year into two circuits are such as to ri quire
a change, and how such change may be best ef-
fected. At present the interval
.between the sum-
mer and spring circuits is nearly eight months, whilst
that between the spring and summer circuits does
not exceed four ; and the former interval includes
the whole winter, with its long nights, and its increased
suffering, amongst the poorer classes. It cannot, there-
fore, Le wondered at, if, from the longer interval alone,
at the spring circuit, the civil business should more than
equal, and still less if, from the combined effect of both
causes, the criminal business should very greatly exceed,
that of the summer circuit ; and thus the burden upon
the jurymen at the two assizes is disproportioned, and
the prisoners committed soon after the summer assizes
are necessarily imprisoned for a much longer period than
those committed after the Lent assizes. _ _

This has led to the special commissions for delivering
the gaols, issued for the last two years, under which
sittings have been held in the larger counties in the
months cf December and January. These have sup-
plied a remedy for the particular evils against which
they were directed, but are themselves liable to the
most serious objections. The sittings have been held
to the great inconvenience and expense of jurors,
sheriffs, and others, whose duties require their attend-
ance at the assizes, and who were called from
their homes once oftener in the year than heretofore.
They have been unattended by the same full bar which
the union of criminal and civil business attracts to the
ordinary assizes, which is not only au important benefit
to the accused, but a great security for the due adminis-
tration of justice ; and they have been presided over by
a single judge, a course by no means so satisfactory as
where two judges travel the same circuit, and have the
opportunity for mutual advice and assistance.
It appears to us that the necessity for a third circuit,
for criminal cases, with its attending advantages, may be
obviated, and the benefit of a more speedy trial of of-
fenders obtained by a permanent arrangement whereby
the circuits may occur at equal intervals of time, and the
business be equally distributed between the winter and
summer assizes.

And this can only be done by an alteration in the time
of holding the spring circuit ; for to alter the summer
circuit, and to fix it during the months of September and
October, would, we are convinced, be inexpedient. It
would take from the bar and the judges, and indeed the
whole legal profession, that wholesome vacation which
alone, by its annual recurrence, brings them back
with minds refreshed by leisure and varied study
to their important duties, and it would be to
devote a period of the year to the assizes at which
the gentlemen and farmers of the country, who in general
have to act as jurymen, are otherwise much engaged.
In order, therefore, to divide the year equally, the
spring assizes must begin early in January ; we think
about the 11th January would be found most convenient,
as being immediately after the Christmas quarter ses-
sions, when the gaols will have been delivered of the
smaller offences by the local magistracy.
In order to accomplish this, Ililary term must be
changed; and we at one time supposed that the post-
ponement of Hilary term till the beginning of March
would be the best arrangement. But we have thought,
on fuller consideration, that it is desirable to have two
terms following each circuit, in order that there may be
an opportunity of hearing and of disposing of the motions
for new trials arising therefrom, and of enabling the par-
ties, where new trials are granted, 'hen'
to proceed to trr
