THAMES EMBANKMENT and RAIL-

WAY JUNCTION COMPANY.
REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS.

The Provisional Directors, referring to the objects of the Company
as stated in their prospectus, have now to report the result of a de-
putation from the Board, to the Earl of Lincoln, First Commissioner
of Woods and Forests, and Chairman of the Commission for Metro-
politan Improvements.

Ono of the objects of the Company being to co-operate with the
Government in carrying into execution the plan of her Majesty's
Commissioners for an embankment of the north shore of the Thames,
it became the duty of the Provisional Directors to seek an early in-
terview with the Chief Commissioner, with a view to the immediate
arrangements required for the realisation of this great public im-
provement ; and an appointment having been obtained (September
26), the following proposal was submitted :
Thet the whole expense of the embankment should be defrayed by
the Company, subject to the stipulation that the Company should be
at liberty to connect with such embankment an atmospheric railway
viaduct, of ornamental construction, and to continue such viaduct
eastward of Blackfriars-bridge to the present Blackwell terminus, in
Fenchurch-street, and also across the river by a railway bridge, or
by one of the existing bridges, to join the Greenwich, Dover, Croy-
don, and Brighton Railways.

In accordance with the usual practice, this proposal was subse-
quently transmitted in writing; to which communication an official
answer has been received, addressed to the Earl of Devon, Chairman
of this Board.

The reply of the Earl of Lincoln, bearing date the 10th of October,
1845, is to the effect that a correct judgment can only be formed upon
the proposal of the Company after a careful examination of the vari-
ous details of construction involved in a river line of railway, as
affecting public and private interests connected with the navigation ;
but it concludes, as will be seen by the following extract, with stat-
ing that his Lordship is ready to enter into such examination, and
that the projected railway shall be the first subject brought under
consideration at the ensuing meetings of the Commission :

"It will also, I have no doubt, be evident both to your Lordship
and the Company, that, at the present period of the year, with many
members of the Commission oat of town, and some probably out of
the kingdom, any effort that I might make to have the subject now
taken up and satisfactory disposed of would be unavailing. If, how-
ever, after the statement I have thus frankly submitted to you, the
Company should feel disposed at once to give the usual Parliamentary
notices, such notices having reference to the embankment and rail-
way combined, I can only assure your Lordship and them that I
shall feel it my duty to obtain a meeting of the Commission early in
the ensuing year, and to make the construction of the projected rail-
way the first subject for consideration ; and I have no doubt, that
having reference to the importance of an early decision, the inquiries
of the Commission may be closed in ample time for any necessary
proceedings et the Company in Parliament.*
This promised reference to her Majesty's Commissioners, is re-
garded by the Provisional Directors as a most important advantage
to the Company; affording an assurance to the shareholders that
their funds will net be wasted, as in the case of many unsound pro-
jects before the public, in fruitless and expensive Parliameatary con-
tests. Should the report of the Commissioners be favourable, and
the Provisional Directors have strong grounds for anticipating such a
result, the Company will proceed with their Bill under auspices which
must ensure success ; and, in the event of the plan not being recom.
mended to the immediate adoption of Government, the Company
will be placed in a position to meet the views of the Commissioners in
the following session, or to return the deposits, with comparatively
but a trifling deduction for the cost of preliminary surveys.
The interview with the Earl of Lincoln, although confined to point.
of explanation, was in the highest degree satisfactory, from the ob-
vious interest taken by the Noble Earl in the structural improve-
ment of the metropolis ; and the object of this Company is that of a
greater metropolitan improvement than has hitherto been compre-
hended in any plan based upon available resources ;—one combining
the advantages of railway transit with architectural embellishment,
the means of healthful recreation, and the removal of existing im-
pediments to commercial traffic.
The Provisional Directors have only to add, that the necessary
steps have been taken by the Board for compliance with standing
orders ; that Mr. Barry has accepted an engagement from the Com-
pany for the architectural elevations connected with the river front
of the embankment, especially in reference to the most effective
mode of passing the Temple gardens ; and that the Board, having
endeavoured with success to cultivate a friendly understanding with
the Companies most interested from their position in a railway em-
bankment of the river, are now assured that no competing line will
be presented to Parliament during the next session.
The deputation above described was accompanied by deputations
from the Central Terminus Company, and the Great Western and
Breatford Company—co-operating with this Board to complete the
Connexion of the line with the whole of the metropolitan railways.

STATE or TRADE.—The market here continues in
a depressed state ; and prices both of yarn and goods have
declined since yesterday week. The decline, however, has
caused some demand, .anel an increased business has been
done.—ROCEIDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, Nov.
17.--There has been a dell market to-day, and the prices
obtained have been less than those of the previous Monday.
The wool market is also inactive, but former prices havebeen

MIRACULOUS EscArg.—A man named Richard
Sheane, one of the Bath city police, took his place on Mon-
day evening at the Bristol-station of the Great Western
Railway to proceed to Bath by the mail train. Soon after
the train started both he and a boy who accompanied him
fell asleep, and were carried some distance beyond their
destination before either awoke. The r ushing noise of the
engine in the Box-tunnel aroused the man from his slumbers,
and he then discovered that he had ridden some miles further
than he wished. Ilh, first impression was, that the train would
stop at Corsham, but it was not so. Onwards he was carried
at the rate of 40 or 50 miles an hour. He at last opened the
door of the carriage, alighted on the step, made a spring, and.
fortunately he was not dashed to pieces. On the arrival ot
the train at Chippenham, the circumstance was made knovn
tbiough the boy, anti immediate search was made
i that m,
but lie could at first nowhere be found. Hes. he
recollects nothing but coming in violent contact with some-
thing which he supposes to be a bridge; but how long he lay
he does not know, but on recovering his senses he crawled to
a house close at hand, where he was lodged for the night
The next morning he was well enough to walk into Corsham•
to a medical man, when.it was found that., besides being
inu2h cat and bruised, his shoulder found as dislocated. The
man bears a very good character, and it does not appear that
lie was the least intoxicated at the time of the rash, act. He
had gone from Bath to Bristol in the morning, itt search of
a man who had broken into Trinity Church, and the boy in
company with him was taken to identify the thief.—Devizes
Gazette.
