WINDSOR AND LONDON.

WINDSOR, FRIDAY EVENING.—A very numerous and
highly respectable meeting of the inhabitants of the town and
its vicinity, convened by Thomas Clarke, Esq., the Chief
Magistrate, took place this afternoon, •‘ to take into considera-
tion the correspondence which has passed between the Com-
mittee appointed on the 2d of July last, and the Commissiorers
of her Majesty's Woods and Works, respecting the formation
of a railwry to Windsor, and to receive the report of such Com-
mittee, and to take such further steps as may be necessary
for carrying out the wishes of the inhabitants in promoting a
direct railway communication from Windsor to London."
Amongst those who attended the meeting were Dr. Stan-
ford, Major Sturgess, Captain Forbes, J. J. Williams, Esq.
(barrister-at-law ), Captain Ragg, C. S. Voules, Esq. (soli-
citor), Jehn Voules Esq., William Legh, Esq. (magistrate),
Messrs. Sherman, S. Whinton, Oxley, Malin Jowerty,
Fowler, Paul, Chater, Walker, Oliver, J. Cleave, &c.:
Mr. Voules, Mr. Sherman, and Captain Forbes, having
addressed the meeting, the Committee's report was read. It
gave in detail the whole of the letters which had passed between
the Woods and Forests and the Chairman of the Committee
(Captain Forbes ). It appeared that two lines of railway were
pointed out to the Commissioners for a railway into Windsor.
The Board, in their last letter to the Chairman, declitied to
express any opinion upon either of these lines, as they consi-
dered the Crown property at Windsor would be injuriously af-
fected thereby. The report thus concludes:—
" Upon the receipt of the last letter' the Committee consi-
dered it useless further to argue the wishes and requests of the
memorialists, it bring evident to them that the Commissioners
of Woods and Forests had, from the first, determined to dis-
countenance any project for bringing a railway over ally part of
the Crown property, without regard to any proposition for
making and constructing such railway, so as to remove any
ground for apprehending inconvenience or injury to any party."
Mr. C. S. VOULES proposed, and Mr. FOWLER seconded—
" That this meeting cannot but express their regret at the re-
sult of the application to the Commissioners o Woods and
Forests, but still entertain the hope that upon future con-
sideration, the Commissioners will not be of opinion that the
Crown and property w:11 be injuriously affected by a railway
tunnel under the Long Walk, as proposed by the memorialist,
and which plan received the sanction of his late Majesty King
William IV., and of the Board of Works, &c., in the year
1834.

MINTON, purveyor to her Majesty, moved, and Mr.
J. WILLIAMS, barris'er, seconded, upon which it was re-
solved—" That the inhabitants did not abandon the hope of
shtaining a more direct railway communication to London;
and that they do co-operate with the London and Windsor
Railway Company, already formed, whose money is subscribed,
and plans prepared, for the accomplishment of this desirable
object."

Major BumEau having described the plans of the London
and Windsor Direct Railway Company at considerable length,
and thanks having been voted to the Rlayor, the assembly
broke up.

OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON
CA3IPDEN, SEPT. s.—This ancient town was yesterday the
scene of unwonted gaiety and excitement, the day being ap-
pointed to commemorate the passing of the Oxford, Worcester,
and Wolverhampton Bill. The day was ushered in with merry
peals of bells, and seemed to be kept as a general holiday. In
the evening a dinner was given at the Town-hall to J. T.
Elgee, Eiq., of Worcester, in acknowledgment of his services
rendered at the commencement of the undertaking, and car-
ried out to their successful result. Close adjacent to the hall
was erected a handsome triumphal arch, and flags were waving
ever the ancient building. The chair was taken by Sir Thomas
Philliprs, Bart., of Middle Hill, near this town, the vice-chair
being occupied by W. Cooper, sen., Esq. Amongst the com-
pany present, numbering about 130, we observed R. W. Baker,
E.g., of Cotswold; Rev. J. T. Jones; James Smith, Esq.,
Blockley ; J. F. Iliron, and W. Brown, Esqs., of Campden ;
H. G. Busby, Esq., Moreton-in-the-Marsh ; C. Freeman,
Esq., Campden, and others. The room was elegantly and
appropriately ornamented with flowers in devices and banters.
A variety of toasts were proposed and responded to, and the
party did not break up until midnight.
