TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. -
Su;,—The attention of the Committee of Management of
this railway haying been called to the report of a meeting of
the sharelco!ders of the• Great Western Railway of Bengal,
holden yesterday at the City of London Tavern, at which it
was represented by the Chairman, that the promotion of a
line of railway from Calcutta to Diamond Harbour, was
part of the regi,tercd scheme t:f that Comapany, I am directed
to state that such is not the fact, and formed no part of the
undertaking; and, in proof, I subjoin an extract from the
Registry of Joint-stock Companies. under the ith and Bth
Vie., cap. 110, under which Act that Company is consti-
tuted, and from which extract it will clearly appear that
their scheme is for connecting Calcutta *Rh Patna, with a
branch or extension through Moorshedabad. to join the
Ganges."—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient

have in a few months the advantages of the openingot the line
from Exeter to Plymouth, of which we have the authority, if any
be requisite, of our own Directors, for anticipating a considerable
incri•ase of traffic to our line; and taking this into account, we
may, I think, without being guilty of extravagance, calculate on
our third year's traffic exceeding the first in much the same pro-
portion as we have seen to take place on the Birmingham lino.
This Bill gives us an addition of 57,8331., but taking it at 57,0001.
only, we have a regular gross traffic of 237,0001.; deduct for
working expenses 40 per cent., 94,800!., leaves 143,200/. ; deduct
5 per cent. on 117,9761. borrowed capital, say 1,0001., or 45,8981.,
this leaves 97,301/. applicable to a dividend of nearly 101. per cent.
on 1,000,000!., about the present amount of paid-up capital. But
to this add 5 per cent. on say 500,0001., ultimately to be called
up, but upon which interest is charged above 22,9491., still leaves
a net income of 120,2511, applicable to a dividend of about
8 per cent. on 1,500,000/. In this calculation it will be seen
that I have confined myself to the new line, and have not taken
into account either the capital or the returns of the branch lines, for
which Acts were obtained in the last session ; but, as according to
the estimate of the Directors, these branch lines will pay a divi-
dend of 6 per cent. on the expenditure, and as they will bring
on the main line an accession of traffic for which I have not taken
credit, and as moreover I have not taken credit for the profit to
accrue from the considerable capital held by our Company in the
South Devon and Falmouth line, I think that, taking everything
into consideration, the dividend upon the above increased capital
of 2,000 000/. will be found not below the result that I have
arrived at in the calculation with reference to the original capital
of 1,500,000/.
Several others followed; amongst them Mr. Fripp for, and Mr.
Whatelev and others against, the proposed items of sale; and at
five o'clock, Mr. DiveTT, M.P. for Exeter, made a short speech, in
which he recommended that no hasty conclusion should be arrived
at; and the result was, after several other propositions had been
made to the effect that a committee should be appointed to ascer.
tain if better terms could not be had, and that no division should
be come to, the meeting divided, when there appeared 20 for and
an immense show of hands against the proposition.
A vote of thanks was proposed to the Directors, but the meeting
eparated without Its being either put or carried.

CONVERSION OF THE WEY AND

ARUN CANAL

GUILDFORD, FRtDAV.-A special general meeting of the Pro-
prietors of the Wey and Arun Canal was held this day in the
Guildhall, to take into consideration the expediency of making a
sale of the canal for the purposes of a railway. Mr. John Napper,
of Iford, Sussex, was called to the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said the object of meeting was to consider a pro-
position which had been made by the Brighton Junction Railway
Company to purchase the canal.
The particulars of the offer were as follow :
" The Railway Company to purchase the canal at the rate of 35/.
per share on the whole number of shares, and to stand in the same
position with regard to the property as the Proprietors of the canal
now stand.
" That the Railway Company should pay, on the execution of
the contract, Into the hands of the Messrs. Haydon, in the name of
the Chairman of the two Companies, the sum of 2,0001. by way of
deposit, one-half of such sum to be forfeited in the event of the
petition for the Bill not being presented seven days at least prior
to the last day appointed by the House of Commons for receiving
private Bills in the next session.
" That the purchase include only that part of the canal between
Stonebridge.wharf and Newbridge, and the property on the line, to-
gether with the reservoir, and not any portion of the property be-
longing to the Company situate at Guildford.
" That articles of agreement be drawn up and exchanged be.
tween the two Companies on or before the 30th of November
instant."
Mr. NEWLAND moved the adoption of the report.
Mr. Muitaax said Colonel Wyndham was opposed to the sale,
and advocated, in an amendment, further consideration of the
measure.
Captain DEVEREUX also thought the proposed sale would be
detrimental to the interests of the proprietors, and intimated that
he should oppose the scheme.
After a long and desultory conversation, the original motion was
put from the chair, for which 239 votes were received.
The amendment was then put. and carried ►y a majority of 11.

NORTH KENT and DIRECT DOVER
(VIGNOLES' LINE.)
ROCHESTER, FRIO/CT.—A meeting, convened by the mayor in
compliance with a requisition signed by upwards of 500 of the
principal freeholders, burgesses, and other inhabitants of the city
of Rochester, was held to-day at the Guildf.alt.
The chair was taken by E. Buck, Esq., the Mayor, at 12
o'clock ; and there were present the Rev. G. Davis, J. Nightin-
gale, Esq., Alderman 51anclerk, Jas. Smith, Esq., E. Wickham,
Esq., N. Nicholson, Esq., and other gentlemen in the commission
of the peace for the city and county.
The proceedings were opened by the MAYOR, who stated that
he had felt great pleasure in complying with the requisition he
had received. The object in view was the benefit of the city of
Rochester and its nnighbourhood.
Captain BAKER moved the first resolution, to the effect that a
direct line of railway communication between London, through
Rochester, Canterbury, and Dover, was essential to the interests of
Rochester, and would tend to the public convenience.
Alderman MaNcterte seconded the resolution, which was car-
ried unanimously.
Mr. VICINOLES, the engineer, said that, twenty years ago, when
engaged in laying out the Liverpool and Manchester line, he had
felt the importance of providing railway accommodation in Kent—
his native county—along the line of the old Dover.read. There
were many engineering difficulties in the way, which ten or fifteen
years ago would have been thought insurmountable, but owing to
the improvements in science they were no longer formidable,
but easy, and to be overcome at comparatively a trifling expense.
As there was some change in the line as now proposed from
the plan brought forward last year, he would shortly explain the
course which, according to the present plan, the line would take.
It would commence in London, as near the centre of the metro-
polis as it was possible for money to bring it. From London it
would proceed parabel with the present line of the Dover road,
taking all the principal towns in North Kent in its progress. It
would pass through Blackheath, Charlton, Bexley-heath, Crayford,
Dartford, Strood, Rochester, and from thence to Milton, Sitting.
borne, Faversham, Canterbury, and so on to Dover. This was the
course of the direct line ; but in addition there would he various
branches constructed for providing the utmost facilities of commu-
nication to several other populous towns and districts lying eff the
main ►ine. The line would pass into Rochester by means of a new
bridge, which would form one common crossing over the Medway
for railway and all other traffic. The principle of this bridge
had been approved of by the Admiralty, and also by the wardens
of Rochester-bridge. It would form a great improvement to
the town, improve the water-way, and give greater facilities for na-
vigating the river.—(Hear, hear.) A convenient station would be
provided for Rochester between the Guildhall and the Custom.
house. After leaving Rochester, the line would take the same
course as proposed last year. It would pass in front of the quays
at Chatham fifteen feet above their level, leaving a ldrge space be-
tween it and the wharfs, thus securing full accommodation to those
who held rights of quayage. He exp ained this because it had been
said the company had changed their plan in such a way as would
injure Chatham, and to show that, as tar as Chatham was con.
cerned, the plan of last year was improved Upon rather than dete-
riorated. They proposed not-only to have &direct communication
with London, but *With etie weit.end of the townrhysneans either o
Hnr gerford or Waterloo bridge, and en to Charing.cross. In order
to secure their entrance into the city of London atthe most central and
convenient spat, the emimUny had purchased of the diredtors, subject to
the consent of the Proprietors, Southwark.bridge. There was no
doubt that the purchase wouldbe refit!, d by the Proprietors of the
bridge on Tuesday next, and the North Kent line would thus have
secured the best entrance into the heart of the cityof London. Ro-
chester would, by the plan now proposed, become thecentre of a new
system of railway communication. A branch line would proceed
from Rochester westward to Maidstone, and this would form the
readiest and cheapest means of communication to the people of
Maidstone, and that part of the country, not only with London but
with Rochester and Chatham. A branch was proposed also to Sheer
ness, the connexion being made at Milton. There was one other short
branch, but the main line would go on to Canterbury, passing by
the south side of the town, the station being as proposed last year.
Proceeding still along by the line of the old Dover-road, the line
would arrive at Dover close to St. James's church, and terminate
as near as possible to the shore. There would be also a branch
from Canterbury to Deal, and another from Deal to Dover.
Another ►ine would probably be carried from Faversham to Mar-
gate, and a line to Herne Bay and to Sur, and then the line of
coast communication would be completed round the coast of
Thanet and the Kentish coast. The scheme proposed would occa.
glen an outlay of three or four millions, but the money was ready,
the plans were prepared, and he had no doubt they would carry
the B►ll in Parliament. The line was laid out with the greatest
attention to local and public interests, and he hoped it would meet
with the approbation of the meeting.—(Hear.)
After some conversation,
J. Smrrii, Esq., moved that petitions to both Houses of Par-
liament, foleided upon the previous resolutions, be prepared, and
signed by the Mayor, on behalf of the meeting.
The resolution was agreed to, and the meeting broke up.

PREVENTION OF RAILWAY
ACCIDENTS.
•
(From. the .Railway Record.)
The London and Brighton Board have issued the following
very judicious circular to their servants. The plan of issuing
strict notices of accidents (as alluded t) in Regulation No. 4)
wai adopted several years since on the Manchester and Leeds
Railway :
" To all Officers and Servants of the London and Brighton
Railway Company.
"The serious accidents which have recently occurred
on several railways, have caused such anxiety to the Board,
aad they desire to impress upon you the necessity for unceas-
ing vigilance, and an exact observance of the
.Company'
regulations.
"To s Tore .these as far as possible, the following addi-
tional regulations have been adopted :
" 1. Every one in the service of the Company will be ex-
amined from time to time, to see that he has carefully read
the regulations relating to his department, and that he un-
derstands and remembers them.
"2d. Any neglect of the Company's regulations will be
rigidly punished, even though it should not lead to an
accident.
"3d. A donation of 251. will be presented to the Provi-
dent Fund for every quarter during which no accident occurs
on the line.
" 4th. With a view to enabling you to profit by the expe-
rience of others, you will receive from time to time a short
statement of any railway accident, wherever it may occur,
pointing out the cause of the accident, and the best means
of prevention.
" Should you have lost your copy of the Company's regula-
tions, you will at ence apply for another, and you will be
required to have such copy constantly with you when on
service.

" By order of the Board,

WHOLESALE SHEEP-STEALING.—The graziers and
farmers in various parts of the country have recently been
thrown into a state of much alarm in consequence of the
wholesale plunder they have experienced of their sheep and
other produce, and information of the robberies were forwarded
during the past week to the officers and stations of the Metro-
politan and City police—viz., from the grounds of Mr. Thomas
Hargreves, of Lamb hill Fell, near Slainburn, Yorkshire, were
stolen a few days since no fewer than 120 sheep, of different
ages and kinds; from a field at Northfleet, Shadwell, were
stolen 36 sheep, the property of Mr. Westhopp, biscuit-baker
of that place ; from llGransop, Hereford, the property of Mr.
Adams, farmer, 9 ewes, and 2 lambs; from Peopleton, near
Upton Snodbury, the property of Mr. John Rogers. butche
5 ewe sheep; from Abbington Lodge Farm, by the shepherd,
3 wether sheep, the Property of Mr. Etty ; from a sheep-fold.
at New Farm, Bagshot, 2 tegg sheep, the property of Mr.
Lane, farmer; from a turnip-field, on the farm of Clifford-
Forge, 2 lambs ; and from a field near the Ferry-gate, Rye,
were ;stolen 3 ewe sheep.
SHOCKING CASH OF SEDUCTION.—A shocking case
of seduction has been brought to light this week at Hunslet
in this parish. The young lady is of a most respectable and
well-known family in that place; and the supposed seducer
is the assistant curate of Hunslet Chapel, the Rev. Mr.
Sweet, a young married man with four children. The gen-
tleman denies his guilt; but a correspondence has come to
light which proves it beyond all doubt; and such is the po-
pular indignation that when, on Thursday evening, Mr.
Sweet went to the house of the lady, the house was sur-
rounded by women and others threatening to pull him to
pieces. Application being made to the police-office, a strong
body of police were sent to rescue the culprit from the be-
siegers ; and he was brought off in a coach to Leeds, having
lowly ward with his 11:empLcds aervey.

THE LONDON COFFEE AND EAT-
ING HOUSE KEEPERS' ASSOCIATION-PRE-
SENTATION OF PLATE TO THE LATE PRE-
SIDENT.

(MOM A CORRESPONDENT.)
On Tuesday last, the Committee of the above Association,
with several friends, dined at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet street.
Mr. Binmore, the President, took the chair; and Mr.
Conneybear officiated as his Vice.
Ample justice having been done to a most excellent din-
ner, the cloth was removed, when the usual loyal toasts were
given and heartily responded to.
The CHAIRMAN then rose and said, the next toast was the
one of the evening, namely, the health of their late Presi-
dent, who hail` not only been a very liberal donor to the
funds of theirinstitution, but had exerted himself to the
utmost for itAtoenefit.—(Hear.)
Drunk with three times three, amidst loud applause; which
having subsided, the Chairman presented Mr. Kirton with
a valuable silver salver and snuff' box, each bearing the
following inscription " This silver salver and box
is presented to.Mr.,William Kirton, by the members.of the
London Coffee and Eatiughouse-keepers' Association, as a
token of their eSteens and regard for the zeal, ability, and
liberality displayed by him during the time he fulfilled the
office of Vice-President and President, and for his valuable
services upon. all occasions to advance the interests of the
Association.—NoVember, 1845."

Mr. KIRTON, in returning thanks, said be had often had to
ask for their indulgence when addressing them, but he never
needed it so much as. on that occasion. He thanked them,
most sincerely for the valuable presents just handed to him
by their Chairman—valuable in themselves, and the more
so as coming from parties with whom he . had been many
years associated in the good work df providing for their less
fortunate brother tradesmen. When he first took the office
of Vice-PreSident, he felt it was one which required part
of his time and perseverance, and he had certainly done his
best to prorrilte the interests of their society,. and which, he
was happy to say, bad been successful; be had, however, to
thank not only those present, but many who were absent,.
for the kind assistance which they had rendered him, and,
in fact, for the general good feeling evinced towards him
whilst he held" both offices.—(Hear, hear.) He-had always
been proud to attend their meetings. He begged once more
to thank them, and in conclusion to add, that he should re-
gard their gift with the most lively feelings. He world con-
tinue his humble exertions tl,r their society, which he trusted
weuld continue to flourish beyond the wishes of its most
ardent friends.—(Loud cheers.)
The healths of the Chairman, the Vice, the Committee,
Secretary, Visitors, &c., were proposed in the course of the
evening, and duly responded to.
Several excellent songs were also sung by Messrs. Hum-
phreys, Hare, Abbot, Page, &c.
The salver and snuff-box, which were manufactured by
Mr. lye, of Cheapside, were greatly admired.

DIRECT TAXATION AND TANA-
TION MONE Y.

(From the Sentinel.)
In compliance with the request of numerous correspon,
dents, we purport.: devoting a special article to the two sub-
jects above indicated. It will enable us to place the action
of the currency on productive labour in a clear light .
We hold that the revenue of a country ought to be levied
on property,--and not on articles of consumption. We con-
sider that income, whether arising from wages, the profits of
trade, or professional services, should be exempt from all
fiscal contributions to the state. But since, in the present
state of Parliamentary representation, this doctrine would
assuredly be rejected by the Legislature, we must endeavour
to accomplish indirectly what is refused directly. This is to
be done through taxation-money.
The Legislature of a country always take the initiative in
the imposition of taxes; they fix the amount to be levied
within the financial year. This is their undoubted privi-
lege. But it constitutes no part of their privilege to pre-
scribe gold as the medium in which the payment is to lie
made. That metal is not indigenous to our country ; it is
a foreign commodity, and to compel' the people to pro-
vide that which they do not possess, and which they
can only procure by giving for it an enormous amount
of time and industry, is an act of despotism for which no
thing can be pleaded but that " such is the will of
Pharaoh."
In our view, the Government that imposes taxes ought to
furnish the material in which the taxes are to be paid. The
wooden tallies of the feudal age, and the Exchequer-bill of
modern times, are in the nature of such materials as we de-
siderate. Neither possess intrinsic value ; both are symbols ;
both are convertible into taxes, but not into the precious
metals. They are the cheap and efficient instruments in
which a Government and its subjects may settle its accounts.
If Parliament vote forty, or fifty, or a hundred millions
of taxes, just to that extent ought it to issue taxation-
notes. In such notes Government should -pay its debts and '
receive its credits. Both being equal in amount, the whole
circulation, would annually return into the Treasury; there
would be nordeficiencies, no necessity for converting a float-
ing into a funded debt; and it is obvious, that had this sys-
tem always been acted upon, not one farthing of our national
debt could, by possibility, have existed. If we 'cannot alter
the past, we may, in the future, prevent any addition to the
public burdens.
But it will be objected to this system, that the taxation-
note, when compared with gold, would be depreciated.
GrantA—itwouldcertainlybedepreciated but not deteriorated,
and the distinction is not verbal, but fundamental. The note
would still pass for a pound of account, and liquidate taxes to
that amount, when pleaded into the Exchepuer as a dis-
charge. It would release the indebted subject from his obli-
gation to the Crown, and that is its whole function. It has
nothing to do with the bullion merchant; it was issued for
internal, not foreign purposes, and is strictly a fiscal, not a
trading instrument. Preserving its integrity itt this, its de-
fined character, it cannot be said to be deteriorated ; for it is
assumed that Government will always take back these taxa-
tion-notes for the precise value at which it issued them.
But the question of depreciation remains. One of these
notes would not purchase .123 grains of gold, as a modern
Bank of England note will. We admit the fact. But how
does it arise? From taxation, which always reduces the pur-
chasing power of the pound ; and the amount of taxa ion
is the precise mathematical measure of such redaction.
Now, let us assume for a moment, that our revenue was
wholly raised by direct taxation ; and that it required twenty
per cent. on all the rateable property of the kingdom to pay
the amount voted by Parliament. Instead of-this, how-
ever, with indirect taxation, issue taxation-notes equi-
valent to that amount. At the same time preserve the de-
nomination. in these notes, of pounds of account. They
would of course be depreciated, as compared - with gold,
twenty per cent. ; or, in other words, though they were
called pounds, each of them would only be worth sixteen
shillings. But the excision of four shillings would be due to
taxation, and express it. This is the true sense in which
such notes would be depreciated, though, for the reasons al-
ready assigned, they would not be deteriorated.
Our intention was to have confined this article to an ex-

position of the principle on which taxation money rests.
But, on ' refteetittn,' we deem it right to give
some', illustration of the-mode in which' it would act. We
will take the case Of abSetitees,' who spend on the Con-
tinent. the incomes they derive from British labour.. Now,
suppose a fundholder in this position, and receiving
dividends to the amount of one thousand pounds.
Pay him in taxation notes. As these would be limited
to British circulation, and not be negotiable on the
Continent, the fundholder would have to apply to a
bullion merchant, who' would give him for his thousand
paper pounds only eight hundred gold pounds, for the deduc-
tion of two hundred pounds, or twenty per cent. would be
just the amount the fundholder owed for his share of taxa-
tion,.and which amount he would have to pay were direct
taxation levied. In 'this manner we should effectively lay
hold of absentees and make them contribute to the burthens
of the State, and teach them what the Manchester Chamber
of Commerce denies, that capital does owe allegiance to
country.

PUBLIC • APPOINTMEhTS.—A Parliamentary paper
has just been issued,eontainirtg a list of the new places created
and appointments made, since September, 1841. There are
24 new places in the return, which extends to 18 pages. In
the courts of equity a number of new places have been
created. It is stated that the appointment of the clerk of
emoluments, the clerks of records and writs, and taxing
masters, and of their respective clerks, took place under the
Act for abolishing certain offices of the High Court of
Chancery in England, which abolished the offices. of 43 per-
sons, whose receipts from fees exceeded 77,000/. a-year.
The annual expense of the new establishment, including
saleties, amouts to 25,611/. Ils. 7(1. In the lunacy depart-
ment several offices were abolished. The appointments
made in the Court of Bankruptcy are given in The. return,
and in respect to the appointment of 12 commissioners for
the country districts, at 1,8001. a-year each, it is stated that
the salaries were given by the Act 5 and 6 Victoria, c. 122,
which abolished the.country commissioner, acting under the
old system, whose fees, including their. travelling expenses.
amounted, on an average, to the annual sum of between
50,000/. and 60,0001. Since August, 1844, three offices fur
the railway department of the Board of. Trade have been made,
the annual. e2.s.pense for salaries of which is 3,6001.
JESUIT WRITERS IN AN UNiVERSITT RETIEW.—It
has long been suspected that an active correspondence has
existed between Oscott and certain members of the Univer-
sity of Oxford ; and the names of some of the fellows of
Magdalene College have come before the public as not un-
connected with it. We have now to state, on the best
authority, that clear evidence has been obtained of
the circulation of periodical literature ' in.. both Uni-
versities, emanating from the Jesuit College.of Stonyhurst, in
Lancashire, of which Mr. Tickle, late of Balliol College, and
others, are now members. • We refer to. the Oxford and
Cambridge Review, edited by a member of one of the two
Universities, and to which it has been discovered that several
fellows of Exeter College, Oxford, together •with Lord John
MAnners, Mr. Smythe, M.P. for the archiepiscopal city of
Canterbury, and Mr. Kwon, a distinguished student of
Stonyhurst, are contributors. We also hear, from a source
on Which we can rely, that the cause of the Jesuits is openly
and boldly espoused in some of'the common and combination
rooms of the Universities, on the part of those who have not
seceded, with Messrs. Newman, Oakeley, and Ward, from
their Protestant emolurnents--" quousque tandem ?

• SHIPWRECKS AND Loss of LIFE.— —Oll Wanes-.
day, the 29th ult., the Flora of Kirkcudbright, a coasting
vessel, coal-laden, John Jolly,. master, and the Akaster of
Whitehaven, also coal-laden, William Atkinson, master, left
the latter port for 'the Scotch coast. A storm quickly came
On—there was a strong wind from the south south-west, and
It very heavy rain and, towards evening, the light on the
Little Ross' being obscured by the tempest, the vessels were
driven forward, and soon after six o'clock they struck on the
Tanhdey in a little time went to were-driven on and

.Flora had two men and a female passenger.
The master got on to the'rocks, and by and by to the land ;
and by great exertions the other two reached the land,
though at the time they did not know but their companion
had perished. After wandering for 'a 'while, the man and
woman, perceiving a light, got to the farm-howe of Robert-
son, where they were kindly and humanely treated by Mr.
and Mrs. Smith. The alarm was given, and several persons
with lights went in search of the wreck, and,.if possible, to
rescue the • unfortunate seamen. After a-considerable time,
the master of the Whitehaven vessel was found on the
rocks, so feebled, benumbed, and exhausted; that.without
assistance he must have perished. After the vessel got over
a reef, she fell on one side, with the mast on high rocks.
The master crept on his hands and knees on the mast, and
called on his companions to follow him ; and though they
spoke and named him, he is of opinion they did not
make the attempt. Several of the persons who went to
render assistance heard the mournful cries of the distressed,
but owing to the darkneis of the night, the severity of the
storm, and the ruggedness of the shore, they could not find
them, and no doubt is entertained : that they have perished.
Captain Atkinson, who was much.cut and bruised, was, con-
veyed to 1161)erton, where l . e also was h-tmanely shelteied
and attended to. Captain Jolly, who bad been in great
danger, after wandering for some time, kneW where he was,
