P:acE or GOLD —The premium on gold at Paris
is 101. per milk which, at the English Mint price of 31 17s.
ll")d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25 11 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being
55, it follows that gold is 0.57 per cent. dearer in London
than in Paris. By advises from Hamburgh, the price of
k 11 is 4361 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange
of 13 101; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at
short being 13 12i, it follows that gold is 0.68 per cent.
dearer in London than in Hamburgh.

THE STAFFORDSHIRE POTTERIES and
LIVERPOOL and MANCHESTER DIRECT RAILWAY.
(Provisionally Registered.)
. _

The object of this railway is to open a direct communication from
the Staffordshire Potteries northwards with Liverpool, Manchester,
and the north of England, Scotland, and southward with Bristol,
London, and the south of England. The line will commence at
Stafford, and proceed through the heart of the Potteries, giving
the best and most ample accommodation to Stoke Longton, New..
castle, Stoke Hanley, Burslem, and the whole of the Pottery district,
whence it will pass betwixt Cengleton and Sandbach, through
Knutsford direct to Altrincham, where it will join the South Junction
Railway to Manchester, an Act for which has been obtained. A
branch northwards, from the Potteries to Crewe, will connect the
line with Chester and Birkenhead; and branches from Knutsford on
the one band, through Northwich to Preston Brook, and on the other
to the Cheadle station of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway,
will open a communication between filo Salt districts and the Pot-
teries, Liverpool, Hull, and the eastern ports of England.
The advantages of this railway will be very great to a large and
most important extent of country, hitherto totally unprovided with
railway communication, and will be store fully detailed in a future
Prospectus, whieh, with Maps and the names of an influential pro-
visional Directory, will be issued with as little delay as possible. The
surveys and estimates are in the course of completion, and no parks
or ornamentals grounds will be interfered with.

Parties interested is the undertaking may communicate with th•
solicitors, MesFrs. J. and T. Roscoe, Knutsford ; and ST. Burdett,
Esq., Manchester.

CROWDED STEAMERS.
What a bustle is seen on the stairs and the piers I
What mingled confusion resounds in the ears !
And look! how the decks of the steamers are eramm'd ;
It appears as if some must be stifled or Jamm'd.
Not a seat can be had from the bow to the stern,
And a standing-place scarcely the eye can discern.
Now what is the cause of this holiday-making,
This bustle and stir, and this gay pleasure-taking ?
Some people suppose that the very low fares,
Have crowded the vessels, the piers, and the stairs.
But the principal cause of this tumult and fun,
Is the very cheap clothing of MOSES and SON.
A suit of good clothes is a very great treasure,
Which induces the wearer to take a day's pleasure.
These glad summer trips world be sure to be less,
If the public had not the advantage of dress.
When at MOSES' famed warehouse a bargain you make,
You save what will pay for the pleasure you take.
'Tis MOSES and SON who have crowded the boats,
By the sale of their trowsers, and waistcoats, and coats.
For many advantages daily are won,
Through the friends of the steamers—E. MOSES and SOIL
The New Work, entitled " The Monarch Mart," with full direc-
tions for self-measurement, may new be had on application, or for-
warded, post free.

DENT . RAILWAY, with a BRANCH through the
POTTERIES to CREWE.
The Committee of Management have the pleasure to announce, m-
ope instance among many of the great public advaxtages likely to re-
sult from the carrying out of this railway, that certain leadiit cosi-
masters of Staffordshire have proposed to this CoMpany, the In the
event of the. line being established, they will guarantee a clear annual
profit of 50,0001. for the•conveyance of coal to the London market
alone, and they assert (though it forms no part of the present Tiro-
posal) that another 55,0001. *per annum may be realised from other
Markets. In the event of such contract being accepted, they propose
to deliver their best coals in the London market at 12s: 6d. per ton,
which would ensure to the metropolis a supply of coals at a price
most materially below the present cost.
The Committee feel it right to mike this announcement, because tt
is one of the early practical illustrations in proof of the great public
utility which the Committee • must confidently anticipate from the
establishment of this Important national project: • ' •

THE KING OF HOLLAND.

We have great pleasure in announcing that the Queen,
through the Duke of Wellington, as Commander-in-Chief,
has appointed the King of Holland a Field Marshal in the
British army, an honour conferred on a brave and liberal
monarch, who had in his younger days fought and bled
under our national flag against a powerful and common
enemy. It is an act in every respect becoming to the nation,
and one which will give the greatest satisfaction to the
army. The,King, as is no doubt known to the majority of
our readers, is a general in the army, being next in
senorita to General Sir George Nugent, Bart., G.C.8., and
by five years senior to General Thomas Grosvenor and Gene-
ral the Marquis of Anglesey. His commission in the British
service is dated as follows ;—Lieutenant-Colonel, the 11th
of June, 1811 ; Colonel, the 17th of October, 1811 ; Major-
General, the 13th of December, 1813; Lieutenant-General,
the Bth of July, 1814; and General, the 25th of July, 1814.

THE LATE DESTRUCTIVE r IBE AT BLACKWALL.-
Yesterday an inquest, pursuant to adjournment, was held before
Mr. J. C. Carttar, at the Unicorn Tavern, Horseerry, Greenwich,
upon the body of Thomas Kennedy, aged 20 years, who died on
boar, the Dreadnought Hospital ship on Saturday last. It ap-
peared from the evidence that the deceased was at work in a field
on the Isle of Dogs at the time of the fire, and observed fire
issuing from one of the !musts destroyed. He ran with others to
the spot, and being most anxious to save his landlord's as well as
his own property, he rushed up stairs, and was in the act of re-
moving some articles, when the roof gave way, and he was nearly
buried in the burning ruins. With much presence of mind and
great. exertiora, he managed to escape. am,rs a ditch into a held
adjoining, enveloped lit IDDieti, and ro:lrd about in the grass until
the hie was extinguished Ass,tance was then r,tort.reti, .i,d he
was conveyed without delay on board the Dreadnought, where• he
lingered until Saturday last, when he died of ulcerated intestines,
induced by the dreadful injuries he had received. Verdict, "Ac-
cidental deatb.'!

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.

RAILWAY FRbICI---SIA:UIESFIELD,
passing close to the Towns of Leek, Cheadle, and Uttozeter,
to the Trent Valley Railway north of Lichfield.

PhOVISIOI'cALLY REGISTERED,

The Line will commence at the Terminus of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard
Reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Conseil,
thence close to Cheadle and Tean, and by Uttoxeter, Bagots Woods
and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent
Valley Railway north of Lichfield, communicating near there with
one of the proposed lines from Dudley or Wolverhampton.
A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct
line for the London and Manchester traffic, uniting these two great
termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing
railways, will completely accommodate the local traffic, and throw
open several extensive Coal fields and some thousand acres of Wood
land to Manchester, the Potteries, and other great marts of the
kingdom.

This Line is also in some of its principal features the same as that
already approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned
by the Churnet Talley Company—will not comprise more than fifty
miles of Railway, and passing through the centre of the unoccupied
part of the district, does not interfere with the Grand Junction or
any ether existing Railway. This and the proposed Line from
Crewe to Derby will also well accommodate the Potteries, giving to

PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED,

The Line will commence at the Terminus of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard
Reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Consali,
thence close to Cheadle and Tean, and by Uttoxeter, Bagots Woods
and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent
Valley Railway north of Lichfield, communicating near there with
one of the proposed lines from Dudley or Wolverhamptoi.
A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct
line for the London and Manchester traffic, uniting these two great
termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing
railways, will completely accommodate the local traffic, and throw
open several extensive Coal fields and some thousand acres of Wood
land to Manchester, the Potteries, and other great marts of the
kingdom.
This Line is also in some of its principal features the same as that
already approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned
by the Churnet Talley Company—will tot comprise more than fifty
miles of Railway, and passing through the centre of the unoccupied
part of the district, does not interfere with the Gray ,unction or
any ether existing Railway. This and the proposed Lino from
Crewe to Derby will also well accommodate the Potteries, giving to
that important locality a direct route to London, Birmingham, and
the South, to Liverpool and the North, and to Derby and the East,
and will also afford a transit for the Eastern counties traffic from
Derby to Manchester. The co-operation of almost all the principal
landowners from near Uttoxeter to near Lichfield having been ob-
tained, this portion of the line may be considered as secure.
A most Influential Provisional Committee, consisting of land-
owners and manufacturers, and others locally interested, will shortly
be published. In the meantime references may be made to Matthew
Gaunt, Esq., Ilighteld House, Leek ; or to Thomas Tumor, Esq.,
Abbots Bromley, near Uttoseter.

HOOTING.—The Heather•coloured JACKET
of Llama Wool retains the principles of Shape given in Nicoll's
Registered raletot. There are many gentlemen who have no liking
for field sports, yet would much incline to the Registered Jacket, it
not confining the chest and giving a general sense of freedom ; no
slight recommendation for the library or the early morning walk in
the country; but the Registered Jacket, for the purpose designed,
viz., shooting, is truly good. The Heather recommended, but many
patterns may be seen at most of the agents in the principal country
towns, or at the spacious Warehouses, 114, Regent-street, London.
