The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway is a direct line from
London to Manchester, coming from London to Rugby, along the
London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby to Hinck-
ley through Market-Bosworth and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to Derby,
thence to Ashbourne, by Leek to Macclesfield, and along the Mac-
clesfield and Stockport, and Stockport and Manchester Railways, into
Manchester.
A branch to Buxton is in contemplation.
The principle of this railway is to obtain a direct through line be-
tween some of the most important districts in the kingdom with the
least possible amount of new railway, and, consequently, the smallest
expenditure of capital.
It will also establish the shortest direct communication between
Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns
gen time North Midland Railway and London.
The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway, will open a direct
eon, munleation between Manchester and Derby, and will consider-
ably horten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham and
Manela•ster and Leicester.
The lie e from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi-
cation froul that town to London, which has been so long considered
desirable by the' Inhabitants.
The same vi ill apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester-
field branch of the North Midland Railway is made.
The litathy, Derby, and Manchester Railway, in connexion with
-.the Oxford anti Rugby, and Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Rail-
way, forms a direct Manchester and Southampton Ilse.
THE GREAT ADVANTAGES
(f the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, ever the other pro-
jects into Manchester, among others, are—
First. That there are only seventy-five miles of railway to be made
in place of one hundred and eighty-nine.
Second. That it is a more direct line from London to Manchester
than even the proposed direct lines.
Third. That it interferes with no existing railway property or
vested Interests.
Fourth. That it passes through a District rich in manufactures,
a
ericulture. and minerals, but which—more especially as regards its '
apiculture' produce, and a convenient system of intercommunica-
tion for the conveyance
large manufacturing towns in the vicinity—has been hitherto left to-
tally without railway munication.
Fifth. That it passes
aerolding them. through the towns in its route, instead of
]Sixth. That the whole nee of
will he completed and in working order from Rugby to Manchester
within ten months from the '
passing of the Act of Parliament.
Seventh. That the maps, plans, estimates, and other documents
required by the standing orders of Parliament efnor the
t be lodged with the '
counties, and the
parish clerks, the clerks of the peace
l'arliamentary offices, on the 10th of November nett

PROSPECTUS.

The Chester and Wolverhampton Railway is a direct line from
London to Liverpool.

It uses the London and Birmingham Railway the whole distance
to Birmingham ; from thence it proceeds to Wolverhampton either on
the Grand Junction or on the Wolverhampton, Dudley, and Birming-
ham Railway.

From Wolverhampton commences the new portion of railway,
passing through the rich agricultural districts of Newport and White-
church on to Chester.

At Chester it proceeds on the Chester and Birkenhead Railway co
to Birkenhead.

It is proposed to establish at Birkenhead a steam-ferry, gratis, to
Liverpool, across the Mersey, so as to unite both towns into one.
A preference in the allotment of shares will be given to the extent
of 15,000 to the original shareholders in the Rugby, Derby, and Man-
chester Railway Company, on their sending in their application for
the same.
A proper reservation of shares will be made for the London and
Birmingham, Chester and Birkenhead, and Warwickshire Railways,
being the railways by means of which the project now submitted to
the public is the most direct London and Liverpool Railway that can
be made.

A list of most influential London and Local Directors will be pub-
lished in a few days, together with a detailed list of Bankers, Agents,
&c., in the different towns on the line. In the meantime, aMications
for shares may by addressed to the Solicitor or any of the Agents o
the Company, in the following form :

BIRKENHEAD JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.
(Provisionally Registered, pursuant to 7 and 8 Victoria, c. 110.)

Deposit 21. 2s. per Share.
PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.

The great principal on which the projectors of this important
scheme have acted, is the establishment of a direct line of commu-
nication between Birmingham and Birkenhead, by the nearest pos-
sible route, and at the smallest possible outlay. To effect this object,
it is proposed to make use either of the Grand Junction, or the Bir-
mingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton Railway, as far as Wolver-
hampton, and thence to throw out a new line in as straight a direction
as possible to Chester, where a junction will be formed with the rail-
way already existing between that city and Birkenhead. A most
important saving of distance will thus be effected.

It is obvious that such a scheme is fraught with consequences of
the highest possible import to the commercial interests of the respec-
tive districts. The growing prosperity of Birkenhead even now de-
mands a more direct communication with the midland, southern,
western, and eastern counties ; and when her magnificent docks shall
be completed, and the town itself shall have arrived at its destined
greatness, this line will take a prominent position among the moat
lucrative of these undertakings.

The Directors, therefore, conscious of the great traffic which flow
from the densely populated termini, propose to construct this line in
as straight a direction as possible, and thereby secure the immense
through traffic which will resort to this railway for shortness and
expedition, from the great manufacturing and agricultural districts of
South Staffordshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Worcester, Hereford-
shire, Monmouthshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Northamp-
tonshire, and in fact the whole of the eastern counties, as well as
from London and the important districts to the south, east, and west
of the:metropolis.
Irrespective of the immense population of the termini, it is evident
that this projected line commends itself to the entire inhabitants of
the counties already referred to. The scheme also possesses this fur-
ther and great advantage—that it will, in reality, firm a shorter and
more direct line to the neighbonrhood of Liverpool and the district
adjacent, than any which has hitherto been projected ; and by means
of the contemplated line from Chester to Holyhead, it will open the
shortest possible route from London to Ireland, and thereby avoid the
delay and inconvenience of a protracted sea voyage. A cursory inspec-
tion of the map of England, and a reference to the plan of this line will
also show that the Trent Valley, London and Birmingham, Birmingham
and Gloucester, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, as well as the
projected Staffordshire and Shropshire Railways, will necessarily be
voidable tributaries to this important line of railway.
The line to be constructed by this Company will commence at
averhampton, and proceed through an agricultural district, by
.I.( of Market Drayton to Chester; and although in its direct course
it ; fay not pass through many towns of importance, the engineering
ii :.iculties of every other route will be avoided, and powerful local
Lill:fence brought into co-operation with this Company.
,1 the formation of this line the extensive iron district of Lilieshall
:s been especially regarded ; and by means of the facilities of
te ,Isit afforded by this Company, the ironmasters of Soutk Stafford-
will be enabled to compete with the Scotch market, which they
ye hitherto been unable to do in consequence of the heavy charge
r freight.

ihe Provisional and Managing Committee are in the course of
1 ction, and will be published in a few days, with other particulars.

to co
the protection and the interest of the Directors and She holders.
The Government have regarded the increase of railways
nationally important, as to deem it expedient to create, tatirratth3ebsu
pur-
pose of watching over the system, a new department of administra-
lion. This step on the part of the Government, has not however
rendered it less necessary that Directors and Proprietors of Itai,ways
should co-operate for the protection of their several and united
interests.
No araangement would so well effect this desirable object as a
General Union
Board of the whole of the Railway Companies, re-
presented by appointed Delegates from each Direction, to meet peri-
odically, and establish such regulations as would tend to the general

Good,
To facilitate this purpose, it is proposed to erect in the most central
part of the metropolis a spacious and commodious fire-proof edifice,
comprising suitable ranges of Offices for Railway Companies,. private
Committee-rooms, a spacious Hall for Annual and General Meetings,
and an extensive range of Warehouses as a general goods depot for
railway transit. The various departments of the proposed establish-
ment will, amongst other important and eligible appointments, include

THE RAILWAY CLUB HOUSE.
The Railway Club-house will afford great convenience ; it will be
supplied with every information relating to Railways, with maps and
iseetienal drawings of each line, with models and plans of all im-
proved modes of construction. There will be also Publications of all
the Scientific Works on Engineering and Railway Mechanism ; the
London and Country Daily Papers ; the British and Foreign Share
Lists ; Parliamentary Notices, Reports and decisions on Railway
Bills ; a Registry Mart for the disposal of all kinds of machinery and
other railway property—locomotive engines, gear, surplus land, &c.
The Club will be open for Members connected with Railways, whe-
ther British or foreign, and such other persons as may be recom-
mended and approved cf by the
CHAMBER . Committee
S, or by ballot.
THE

The Chambers will be constructed on an improved principle, and
be supplied with office, furniture, desks, book-cases, &c. Water will
be laid on to every story—there will be a complete system of venti-
lation and heating throughout the building, and gas-lights fitted to
each apartment. The whole will form one of the most commodious
offices in the City, available for public Companies or private in-
divide's.
THE GENERAL GOODS DEPOT AND RAILWAY
WAREHOUSES.

These will be on.a moat extended scale, and established on the
same principle as the dry docks at Liverpool, which, it is presumed,
will be found moat convenient for the country manufacturer, and the
export and import merchant for the warehousing or transit of home

connecting link between the western and eastern coasts, and a direct

at Doncaster, and will be an important connexion to that great un-
dertaking.

The distance saved between Sheffield and Hull by this Line will be
upwards of 20 miles, and having a direct communication with Don-
caster, will bring the great agricultural produce of that district in
Immediate connexion with Sheffield, and the manufacturing and
populous districts of Yorkshire and Lancashire.

- There can be no doubt that the local, independent of any distant
traffic that may come upon the Line, will make it highly remunera-

The Provisional Committee have the pleasure to inform the ap-
plicants for shares in this Company, that they have received by
the last Mail, from their representatives in Bombay, advice, of the
cordial co-operation there of the most influential parties, both
European and native, in carrying out the great objects which this
Company proposes to effect.

The prospectus of the Company has been approved and adopted
in Bombay, and the Committees of the Bombay Great Eastern
Railway, and of the Indian Railway Association of Bombay, both
of local origin (the former established for making a railway from
Bombay to the foot of the (;haute, and the latter for promoting
railway communication with the interior of the peninsula upon a
more extended scale) are taking active measures for the identifi-
cation of the interests of their respective Subscribers with those of
the Great Indian Peninsular Railway Company.
It appearing alai from the same advices, that the portions of the
line to accommodate the great traffic connected with the staple
trade, and port of Bombay, are most urgently wanted, the Pro-
visional Committee have it in contemplation to secure the con-
struction of those portions at the earliest possible period. With
that object, and in accordance with their annnouncement of the
24th of July last, stating that the allotment would take place after
the receipt of ad►ices from India, they propose to commence by
the issue of 40,000 shares of the intended capital of the Company
(a like number being now in course of allocation in India), reserv-
ing the residue for future distribution, with a preference to holders
of original shares.

Pursuant to this altered course of procedure, parties who have
already applied for shares are at liberty to withdraw their applica-
tions should therbe so disposed, and to meet such contingency
the Provisional Committee will receive new applications until the
Bth of OLtober next, when they will proceed to the allotment of
the shares.

Forms of application for shares may be had from Messrs. White
and Borrett, the solicitors, $5, Lincoln's Inn-fleids ; and L M.
Simon, Esq., stock and share-broker, No. 7, Wharnford-court
Throgmorton- street.
Applications must be accompanied by a reference either to
some member of the Provisional Committee, or to a banker, or to
the solicitors or broker.

Shares, 501. each. Deposit, 21. 10s. per Share.

TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT LIVERYMEN OF
THE CITY OF LOMDON.
GENTLEMEN,
r events of yesterday have made so grateful
an impression on me that time cannot efface, nor language
express it.

AHall so respectable, so earnest, and s) -devoted, Is seldom wit•
nessed.

I thank you most cordially for this generous support, which I feel
as a great consolation under the persecution I have endured ; and,
though rejected by a small majority of the Court of Aldermen, I do
look with an honest satisfaction to the efforts you have made in my
favour.

Trusting that we shall meet,again under more prosperous circum
stances,

I remain, Gentleman,
Your most obedient and faithful servant.

every unprejudiced and unperverted mind must
—and we are satisfied did—believe to be a clear and
positive acquittal. The moral presumptions in this af-
fair corroborate this inference, too, in a manner singu-
larly illustrated by the fact of the connexion itself. If
that connexion with an unfortunate undertaking was a
mere error in judgment, the mistake may impugn
Mr. Alderman WooD's astuteness as a judge
of joint-stock companies ; but the fiercest extra
vagance of party spirit or personal enmity could
not presume to rely on such an error as a valid or moral
ground of disqualification for high municipal office. If
the connexion be said to have originated in views of
another character—in purposes of fraud or deception, or
of realising money by dishonest and unworthy means—
the justification of such a charge should be found in
the ill-gotten gains of Mr. Alderman WOOD. But one
out of the two objections started ti him as a
candidate for the Mayoralty has been, that he is
too poor. Now, the direct, natural, and reasonable
conclusion is, that had he allied himself with a specula-
tion, in order to make money out of it by any means; or
that had he, having embarked in it and discovered it to
be a losing instead of a paying concern, determined
on attempting to cheat others by such unfounded re-
presentations as should induce them to accept the trans-
fer of his interest in it on terms mutually settled
between the►u, he would have secured to himself
at least such an amount of pecuniary co►npensa-
tion as might have made him some money amends (if
such amends are to be found) for his wilful sacrifice of
principle and character. But if his declaration at the
time, the result of the examination instituted into the
facts by indifferent persons, the reiterated averments of
his friends on former occasions, and the present objec-
tion that has been started by his enemies all corroborate
the fact that he lost his money by the connexion in question,
instead of acquiring that of others ; that he is not wealthy
but the reverse, the result is inevitable. We are bound
to presume him culpable in no higher degree than for an
error of judgment, and that to the prejudice of his own
interests and fortune. This disposes of the case of moral
disqualification which it has been sought to set up
against him, and ought to have been allowed its full re-
action in his favour. If he have been on three former
occasions the victim of an unfounded, and, therefore,
unmaintainable imputation, that fact alone ought to
have determined the balance of the Livery's opinion in
his favour on the fourth. He had been grossly wronged;
they ought to have now generously, although still
tardily, done him right.
With regard to the municipal disqualification of Mr.
WooD's not being " rich enough" for the off►ce of Lord
Mayor, it is clearly one that neither can, nor ought to
avail in any case of this kind. The question of fortune
thus raised is at best but one of degree. It is to be deter-
mined in ten thousand ways, according to the varying
views, it may be, of each of ten thousand different electors.
Therefore, it would be a test as absolutely impracticable
as it is theoretically superfluous. No man, not even the
bitterest of the Alderman's enemies, has attempted to say
that he is labouring under that pinching want of means,
that sordid poverty, which takes him out of the rank of
life his civic distinction and professional standing identify,
him with. He is, all admit, lifted far above that pinch-
ing in competency of means that would raise the
presumption among even the most jealous elec-
toral constituency that ho would be likely to
be swayed by improper appeals to his purse, or incapa-
ble of resisting the influence of temptations that are
(and falsely and cruelly enough, by the way), supposed to
be irresistible with the positively needy. He is not even
proved to be a patron of or subscriber to bubble com-
panies or speculation, and is therefore less likely
to be unduly biassed on large questions affecting
the interests of the metropolis than other al-
dermen, for example, who carry about them, as
we have heard, railway scrip and receipts sufficent to
require their being carried about in hackney-cabs to
and from the civic courts of police and criminal law.
This being so, with what force can influential members
of the independent corporation of the greatest and most
powerful city in the world require a mere quali-
fication, far beyond any exacted by law in can-
didates for the office of their chief magistrate ? A
money qualification, vague, undefined, and indetermi-
nable—a qualification, in virtue of which the late N. M.
ROTHSCHILD ought to have been made Lord Chief
Justice, from his abundant endowment in it, if an
alderman is to be excluded from presiding in the
administration of the City's legal and municipal busi-
ness, solely by reason of his having but a limited por-
tion of it. Mr. Alderman WOOD is, however, a man
of business, a good lawyer, an unexceptionable magis-
trate—circumstances that aggravate the injustice, the
cruelty which, we contend, have been shown to him in
this renewed exclusion of him from the chair of the Lord
Mayor. We trust he will still persevere in offering him-
self again to the Livery when the opportunity arrives ;
and we have little doubt of his success. It is hard in-
deed to have put such a necessity upon him ; but we feel
confident that justice will ultimately affirm his claim.

The French Opposition journals for years have shown
a strong disposition to excite a bad feeling between Eng-
land and France. The journal under the influence of
that warlike statesman and unfair historian, M. THIERS,
displays occasionally great respect for England, and ap-
parent desire to remain on good terms with her, but, at
the same time, never fails to place every misunderstand-
ing between the two countries on the worst footing, and is
only restrained from using strong language in consequence
of the connexion which its patron has with the Court of
Lours PHILIPPE. Those, however, who act on the
principle of worshipping the rising sun, who court the
favour of the Duke DE NEMOURS, and still more
that of the young admiral, the Prince DE JOIN-
VILLE, are less guarded in their language, and
seem anxious to keep up a feeling of jealousy between
the two first states in the world, with the hope that, on
a fitting opportunity the national antipathies might
break out into open war. This uncharitable and de•
structive spirit is partly fostered, we admit, by the
hatred of Republicans and Legitimatists to the Orleans
dynasty, and by a conviction that if war should take
place, under the auspices of the NAPOLEON of peace,
France would become a republic, or be restored to the
blessed sway of the worn-out Bourbon race. We can
see neither love of country nor sound warlike policy in
such vain aspirations. The power of the united empire
is greater at present than it was at any former period.
We have few ships, it is true, in commission. We
have an army of only one to four as compared with that
of France, and with that army we have to guard and
protect numberless colonies and establishments in every
part of the globe, and besides, deduct at least one-third
to control the Irish Catholics and Orange Protestants
These are great drawbacks, but there is abundance of
money, the sinews of war, in the country. Since the last
great contest, the population has increased by several
millions ; the British army and navy have lost nothing
of their prestige by the operations in China, and the
march to Caubul and the conquest of Sinde show that
the British infantry retains the same high chracter which
it so nobly acquired in the Peninsula. France has
not gained materially since the peace, if we except
the improvement in trade, manufactures, and foreign
commerce, which has taken place in consequence of the
judicious and peaceful reign of the present Monarch,
and the progress of that very improvement would be in-
stantly stopped by a collision with this country. Besides
France has still a large debt, amounting to nearly three
hundred millions sterling ; the interest is high, the re-
turns from the Customs are trifling as compared with
those of England, and the great burden of taxation,
therefore, falls upon the land and the industry of the
country. We have no wish, however, to continue the
subject, or draw a full contrast in reference to
a subject so little inviting. Our object is peace.
England can gain nothing by additional glory,
or additional conquests, and it should be the
policy of her political writers, therefore, rather to
soothe the irritability of our gallant neighbours than
to provoke them by needless jealousy and angry dis-
cussions. The London press for a long time bore pa-
tiently with the tirades in the Opposition journals, and
we can see no reason why they should change their tac-
tics. We, therefore, regret to see some indiscreet, and
what we consider unfair, remarks about the visit of the
Prince DE JOINVILLE to the Breakwater at Brighton,
and the arrival of two French steamers the other day at
Sheerness. The Prince, it is said, was ebs'rved sound-
ing some parts off the coast of Brighton, as if for the
purpose of making use of his observations at a future
period. Never was any statement less entitled to
credit. Ile could not in fact judge of the
position and efficacy of the breakwater without
knowing the locality, and the supposition that he would
make use of that knowledge to bombard Brighton de-
serves only the most supreme contempt. Civilized
cc untries in general respect towns that are not
fortified, and that possess no fleets, or other means of
annoying an enemy. To attack defenceless towns
and villages, to destroy the property of individuals
without any object but mad revenge, is repudiated by
modern warfare, and such an act would throw a stain
upon the French character which the French them-
elves would be the first to denounce. Besides, have
the French no reason to return the compliment,
by proofs of which there can be no difficulty, that
English ships-of-war have not occasionally, but regu-
larly, been employed for some time in taking soundh gs
on the French coast? During the sin-Iner the Po.-
cupine steamer, under Captain BULLOCK, visited
Boulogne almost weekly, and the intervals were
