trivances were resorted ,to, to surprise him into a con-
fession. One was, on the anniversary of the murder,
to produce suddenly the skull of the murdered woman.
Riembauer sprang up from his chair, looked wildly at
the judge, but immediately resumed his composure and
fixed smile, placed himself so as to avoid looking at the
skull in front, and answered, " My conscience is at ease.
This day eight years, as .1 returned from Pirkwang,g
found that skull, and the body of which it formed a part,
lying dead in my room. If it could speak, it would say,
Riembauer was my friend, not my murderer. You see
that I breathe freely in its presate. lam not a crimi-
nal, but a victim." He did, however, at length confess,
and so satisfied the scrupulousness of the German law.
In England, as the Reviewer observes, " he would pro-
bably have been tried at the first assizes after Cath-
erine's information was laid; the proceedings could
scarcely have outlasted one day; anrunless there were
some technical flaw, unless the copyist perhaps left out
in the indictment the words then and there,' or wrote
the murdered woman's name Hanna instead of Anna, or
Mary instead of Marie, the judge would have summed
up unfavourably, and the jury would have convicted him
without leaving the box.
A curious part of the case, however, remains to be
told, which forcibly illustrates the care which German
jurisprudence has of human life. Though Riembauer
confessed himself to be the murderer, yet another neces-
sity of German law bad not been proved—the murder
itself, Nor could it be : for the skeleton bore no marks
of it—nobody living had witnessed the deed ; and both
these conditions are necessary to a sentence of death.
Riembauer, therefore, was only sentenced to indefinite
imprisonment.
If a review of the working of German law leaves us,
on the whole, well satisfied with our own system, it
certainly places in a strong light the absurdity of some
of our rules, which, by over-nicety as to technicali-
ties and forms (such as discharging a prisoner if a
material witness be absent, or if a name be spelt wrongly
or if, as in Lord Cardigan's case,- some witness re-
fuse to speak on the plea of committing himself) places
a criminal in a situation where, if he have the means of
putting it.to play all the tricks and contrivances of the
law, he may, as many notorious criminals have done,
set the law at defiance, and make that ((pal justice on
which we pride ourselves a mere mockery.

zance, passing intermediately the ports of Penryn, Belford, °week,
and Portleaven, the populous mining and agricultural districts sur-
rounding Constantine,Helston, Breage, and Marazion, and affording
complete and direct communication between the towns of Falmouth,
Penryn, Belston, Marezion and Penzance.
In the absence of such a line an this now projected, a journey by
railway from Penzance to Falmouth would reqfdre a distance of forty
miles to be traversed ; but, by the proposed line, the distance will
not exceed twenty-five miles, Old the whole of the fertile southern
coast of Cornwall, between FaHnoutli and Penzance,, and the rich
promontory extending to the Lizard, will receive ample accommo-
dation.
At Falmouth, the line will be connected with the intended rail-
ways which are to have their terminus at that unrivalled port, ex-
tending from the east of England and the metropolis on the one
hand, and Scotland and the north of England on the other ; and this
line will also form the last link of the great chain of coast lines, ex-
tending from Margate by Dover, Brighton, Southampton, Dorchester,
Plymouth, and Falmouth, to Penzance, the last port on the southern
shores of the kingdom.
Falmouth, from its importance as the packet-station of the empire,
and from being also of great commercial consideration, owing to its
safety and advantageous geographical position, is become the prin-
cipal point of arrival and departure for vessels trading to foreign
ports, and when the eastern lines which have their terminus there
shall be completed, there can be little doubt that it will become in a
national and commercial point of view one of the first ports in the
kingdom.
With reference to its local advantages, this line of railway can
scarcely be over-estimated. The traffic from the southern district of
the county to the markets of Penzance, Belston, and Falmouth, the
"latter of which are mainly supplied from that abundantly rich and
fertile locality, immense. The early vegetables produced in such
abundance and in rapid succession in the exuberant soil of Penzance
not only supply the market of Falmouth, meeting the great demand
occasioned by its foreign and domestic trade, but are also, by the
Irish and other steam-vessels, forwarded from that port in great
quantities to the London market. The well-knewn fisheries in the
Mounts Bay would be greatly benefited by the meansof ready transit
for the superior fish of that locality, also destined for the London
market, while now, from the uncertainty of communication with
the metropolis, too frequent risk and loss arc encountered through
the time consumed in the journey between Penzance and Falmouth
by the ordinary roads.
The celebrated Cornish granite, which is in such extensive de-
mand for the Government and other great national works, is chiefly
supplied from the inexhaustible beds of that famed stone lying con-
tiguous to the proposed line between Penryn and Ilelston, through
the centre of which the railway will traverse an extensive natural
valley. The annual shipment of this stone from the port of Penryn
alone amounts to upwards of 20 000 tons, nearly the whole of which
would pass over the projected line. Oa its route will also be found
many important mines, including the celebrated Wheal Vor Mines,
near Belston, and others of great and increasing importance, the
supplies and produce of which will form a considerable item in the
traffic returns.

LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN

1, the undersigned, a Proprietor of the South Western Railway
Company, having observed a notice of the Great Western Railway
Directors, by which they propose to recommend their proprietary to
construct lines of railway in the West of England, contrary to the
terms of the agreement entered into between the two Companies in
January last, hereby invite my co-proprietors to meet me at the
London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, on THURSDAY next, the 6th day
of November, at One o'clock in the Afternoon, for the purpose of con-
sidering and (if approved) of adopting .a Memorial to the ',South
Western Railway Directors, to request them to annul the said agree-
ment, and also to support existing Railway Companies which may
bring traffic from the west of England on the South-Western Line,
and to consider and adopt such other measures as may at the time be
considered beneficial to the interests of the South-Western Railway
Company.
Communications may, In the meantime, be addressed to the under-
signed, at 49, Torrington-squarc, London.

The passenger traffic between the termini and the interme-
diate towns, is at present of considerable magnitude, exclusi re of
that carried on by post chaises and private conveyances ; and
omitting many articles of traffic which would neeessarily pass over ihe
line, it has be. n already ascertained that the traffic in agricultural
produce and manures, merchanrllse, mine supplies, ores, granite, and
passengers, is sufficient to return at least 10 percent. on the required
canital.

THE WEATHER.—THE POTATO CROP.—For some
days the atmosphere has been damp and heavy, and during
the night rain has fallen copiously. Potato-lifting is now
proceeding on all hands. We have made particular inquiry
respecting the condition of this crop, which we find is both
sound and abundant in our own locality ; in proof of which
we may remark, that the quantity of potatoes in yesterday's
market was greater than for two or three previous weeks,
and there was besides a reduction in price of 4s. per boll.
The market price of potatoes here, per boll of forty-eight
stenes, is about 12s. In the high districts there is still a
great deal of grain out, some even uncut, and we are afraid it
must have suffered materially from the boisterous and stormy
weather. —lnyerness Courier.

The satin dlaia ice will not exceed twenty miles, as the line will
join the ureat Metropolitan and Falmouth line at Penryn, and the
West Cornwall line front Truro, by the north coast, to Penzance, at
Mara zion.
_

The survey of the line, which is in active progress, will be ex-
tended to Penzance, the estimated capital being sufficient for the
whole line, but should the West Cornwall line be successful in their
application for a Bill, the junction will take place as proposed at
Marazion, and the capital of this Company will be reduced in pro-
portion.
When the peculiar position of this line is considered, its importance
in a national point of view, as the terminal link of the South Coast
lines of England; its great vain e as connecting Penzance, the Earden
of England, with the safest attnost convenient port in the English
charnel; its numerous locarr[vantages, traversing the margin of
one of the finest agricultural districts, and penetrating the centre
of the mining and granite localities, ti which may be added its
freedom from all risk of competition ; it may safely be affirmed,
that, as a speculation, few railways have offered similar inducements
to the capitalist.

The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of railway
to connect the Northern, Eastern, and South Essex Railways, by
means of a steam-ferry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with Tun-
bridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton.
It is contemplated to proceed ftom the Eastern Counties Railway
at or near Mallow station to Tilbury, crossing the river by a steam
floating-bridge to Gravesend, passing by Cobham, Snodland, Mail-
ing, and Hadiew, to Tunbridge, thence by the South-Eastern Railway
to Tunbridge Wells, passing Ucktleld to Lewes, and thence joining
the Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings Railway to Brighton.
An inspection of the map will clearly show the great importance of
this railway, whether considered in a local or national point of view,
forming, RS it will, a most us.ful chain of local communication for
the fertile and populous tracts through which it passes.
It will bring the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of the
Thames, and North Kent, into direct communication, by way of
Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus form, in conjunction
with the railways now in progress on the Continent, the shortest
possible route to Paris and the Mediterranean.
7ty this railway the large population of the north-eastern coun-
ties, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct and easy com-
munication with the whole of the populous and important counties of
Kent and Sussex, without going round to London, and thereby
avoiding the inconvenience arising from the unconnected lines north
and south of the metropolis.
The utility of this line to the naval and military service, both in
times of peace and war, for the conveyance of troops and stores, is
evident.

With the existing railways and those now in progress in Kent and
Sussex, a most complete system of local communication will be
effected ; and as such, the project has been received with the most
distinguished approbation and pledges of support from the principal
proprietors alcng the line, and the corporation of Gravesend have
promised their entire sanction to, and will cordially support it.
The ground has been carefully surveyed, and found to present no
difficulties to the formation of a good working line.
The existing local traffic has been ascertained to be amply suffi-
cient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking ; but a large ac-
cession of valuable traffic cannot fail to be the result of the increased
accommodation thus afforded to the public, and rendering the under-
taking one of the most important as well as productive liaes of rail-
way in that part of the country.
The Committee reserve power to themselves to form branehee from
Snodland to Chatham and Maidstone.

communication with official anthorities, for the purpose of carrying
out the views and objects of the projectors in the introduction of
ailways into India.
Second—That the promoters of the undertaking 'abstained from
adopting any measures towards the formation of a company until
they had satisfied themselves of the disposition of the Government
of India to support the undertaking by pecuniary aid In some shape,
on which basis this Company was accordingly established, its object
being (as stated in the prospectus) to execute the line of railway
Which should be selected by Government, with the ulterior exten-
sions and developments consequent upon it.
Third—That, in furtherance of these views, the Managing Director
of this Company proceeded to Calcutta in the month of July last,
accompanied by a staff of surveyors, for the purpose of making the
necessary surveys, obtaining the requisite information, and of ascer-
taining the views of the local Governinont, prior to the final arrange-
ments for commencing operations.
Fourth—That the information obtained in the course of several
years of preliminary inquiry inclined the projectors to the belief that,
subject to any uuforseen circnmstances, the line from Calcutta to
the north-western provinces, by MirzaPore, was the most needed by
India, and most calculated to yield a profitable return for investment
of capital, and it was therefore that line which was advocated in the
first communication with the Government, the selection being left to
the Government. _ _

projects have been announced to the public for constructing railroads
in Western India, some of them forming part and portion of the
scheme of the East Indian Railway Company, and to which the
surveys and the operations of the Committee in Calcutta may pos-
sibly at this moment be directed as an important feature in the de-
sign of Government.
Sixth—That under these circumstances It appears to this Board to
be their imperative duty in the interest of this Company to adopt
such measures as will have the eftect of securing to the Company the
benefit of their original scheme in its full integrity.
Seventh—That wills this view, and in order to prove to the Go-
vernment of India their full means of carrying out any arrangements
which it may be disposed to make with this Company for the con-
struction of railways on an extended scale (in the event of its being
essential to the scheme of the Government so to oommence), it is

have much satisfaction in stating that the Parliamentary surveys of

The Committee have also the pleasure of informing the applicants
for shares in this Company that the allotment is now completed, and
that the letters will be issued with the least possible delay. The
immense number of applicants, and their highly respectable cha-
racter, have made the duty of selection both arduous and delicate;
and, therefore, gentlemen who do not receive letters of allotment
will be pleased to consider this as a sufficient apology for the omission.
