CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY

(From the Bangor Chronicle.)
On Saturday week, several landed proprietors, merchants,
and tradesmen of Anglesey e.nd Carnarvonshire, met at the
Penrbyn Arms Hotel, Bangor, to hear M. Giles's report on
the eligibility and expense of forming a railroad from Ches-
ter, via Bangor, to Holyhead. The weather was most tem.
pestuous, and many gentlemen, residing in remote districts,
were prevented from attending, yet so great is the interest
taken in the project by all classes, that the spacious room
was crowded.

Among those present we noticed Sir Richard Williams
Blakeley, Bart.; W. O. Stanley, Esq., M.P. for Anglesey;
John Jervis' Esq., M.P. for Chester; Admiral Carden, the
Very Rev.. the Dean of Bangor, John Williams, of Treffos,
Esq. (of the firm of Granville, Williams, and Co., of Bangor,
-Carnarvon, and Chester) ; Capt. Lewis Hatirpton, Henitys ;
Edward Case, Esq., Treborl h ; Rev. J. Hamer. Sen., Vicar;
G. B. Granville, Esq.; James Wyatt, Lime Grove, Esq.;
'Thomas Goddard, Esq.; John Hughes, Esq.; Thomas W
' hams of Bryn, Esq.; Rev. James Vincent, Gorddinog ;
Rev. H. Price, Vicar of Bangor; Captain Jones, Holyhead;
Captain Gray; Dr. Pring; Robert Williams, Fron Deg,
Esq.; Surgeon John Roberts; Mr. Henry Bicknell; Capt.
Price; Mr. R. M. Griffith; Mr. Robert Pritchard, post-
master; Mr. Wm. Shone; Mr. Grindley; Mr. R. Williams;
Mr. Rathbone; Mr. Jones, Brymtnor ; Mr. Denman; Mr.
Fisher ; Mr. Wm. Fisher, &c., &c.
Communications were received from Holland Griffith,
Esq., Carreglwyd; Rev. H. Wynne Jones, Llantrisant ;
John Price, Esq., Plus Codnant; and several other land
proprietors highly approving of the measure.
Mr. Giles's report and explanatory statement was listened
to with profound attention, and gave great apparent satis-
faction to the meeting.
The report commences by observing, amid the general
activity that has prevailed in the projection and:construction
of railways for improved communication between England
and Ireland, one of the most important is still in abeyance,
that for forwarding the mails and passengers 'from London
and Dublin, by the aid of an improved sea voyage to Dublin.
Various plans have been proposed.
One by railway from London to Chester, and thence to
Flint, Conway, Bangor, and. Holyhead, and by sea from
Holyhead to uhlin.
Another by railway front London to Shrewsbury, and
thence to Llangollen, Bala, Barmouth, Portmadoc, and
Portdynllaen, and by sea from the latter place to Dublin.
A third by railway front London to Liverpool, and by sea
from Liverpool to

Parliamentary authority has been granted for completing
a railway from London to' Chester, to which place, pursuing
the line ',f the Grand Junction Railway, the distance from
London is Miles' but it is con (*title expected the sanction
"of parliament will be giVen to the Rtigby and Stone Junction
Railway, whereby the distance filen leindOtt to Cheater will
he reduced to 178 thileS.' Adopting therefore this latter
course to within three miles of" Chester,- the remaining dis-
tance to Holyhead Will be 87 Miles, making the total dis-
tance from London to Holyhead 262. Miles; front whence the
sea distance is to Kingstown 63 intles. The coontry. between
Chester and. Holyhead will afford planes nearly horizontal for
60 miles; 1 in '250 for three guiles, and nothing -steeper than
lin 333 for the remaining 24 miles. The engineering 'diffi-
culties are by no means formidable on this line—in fact, up •
to Conway, a distance of 46 miles, very easy ; at Conway it
is supposed to cross the river by means of a new bridge, to be
erected above the site of the suspension bridge—a short tun-
nel in passing the town ; at Penmaen Mawr and Penmaen
Bach, two other tunnels will be necessary—one about a mile,
the other three fourths of a mile in length. After passing
these to go to South of Bangor to Menat Bridge. There it
is proposed to draw the carriages over by a rope to be worked
by a stationary engine, after having detached the locomotive
—thus monopolizing one railway of the bridge, leaving the
other still open for the road traffic. From the Menai Bridge
to Holyhead the road will consist of alternate cuttings and
embankments, with two short tunnels, one on either side of
the Maltreath marsh. By this route, time to be employed
between London end Holyhead at 27 miles per' hour, 91
hours, to which must be added -1 hour for getting from the
London Post-office to the station ; a hour for passmg Menai
Bridge; hour for embarkation at Holyhead (which will be
at 6in the morning;) 51 hours for average sea voyage, hour
front Kingstown to the General Post-office, Dublin, making
altogether 16 hours. So that the mails leaving London at 8
io the evening would be at the Dublin Post-office at 12 the
following day, and the return post from Dublin that evening
is despatched by 7 o'clock, would arrive early the next morn-
ing at Liverpool and Manchester, and in London by 11
o'clock in the forenoon. The Liverpool mail; on its way to
Chester, will gather all the mails of the southern and eastern,
the midland and the greater part of the northern counties,
while the Manchester train will embrace Yorkshire and the
north-eastern districts—the London and Liverpool train
also bringing their portion of the north—all which can reacts
Chester during the night, and proceed from thence about 3
o'clock in the morning with the London traits to Holyhead.
The second project under consideration is that by way of
Shrewsbury. Llangollen, Bala, and Portdynllaen—(see the
report of the Commissioners for Railways in Ireland). This
is stated by assuming a railway. to be completed, as will
eventually lie the case from London to Shrewsbury, a dis-
tance of 153 miles, having no gradient upon- it steeper than
lin 330. There then remains to be executed the remaining,
length of 112 miles, making the total distance from London
to Portdynllaen 26.5 miles. This is stated in the above re-
port tole only 260 miles, but from the map annexed to the
report, it must be 265 miles. The line from Shrewsbury to
Portdynllaen has one gradient of 1 to 160 for ten miles, and
the remaining gradients are stated to be very good, but as
the line has not been surveyed between Shrewsbury and
Llangollen, the particulars of that part are not given. The
sea distance from Portdynllaen to Kingstown is 70 miles. As
to the engineering qualities of this line, it appears front the
Commissioners' report that there will be great difficulty in
passing Barmouth harbour, after which a-short tunnel near
Delgelley; and a viaduct of extraordinary dimensions will be
requisite. 'There is the tunnel also of two miles length• at
Bala,- and I should imagine that the-line from Llangollen to
Shrewsbury will be very heavy and expensive. Tne line oc-
cupied by railway from London through Shrewsbury to Port-
dynllaen at the distance of only 265 miles, the mails must be
above 11l hours, ou aceount of the steep and obstructive
plains and curvatures, to which 1 hour for getting from the.
•Londoa Post•oilice to the rai:way station ; 4- hour for em-
-I,:trkotion at. Porldynllaeu• 5 hours for the sea voyage to
Kingstown, -11 hour from Kingstown to the Dublin Post-
office—maknig altogether seventeen hours at the least, being
one hour longer than by way of Chester and Holyhead, but
this may more probably be eighteen hours, to which add the
disadvantage of the position of. Shrewsbury compared with
Chester for concentration of the mails, together with the
heavy cost •of constructing the line front Shrewsbury to
Portdyullaen, and afterwards of working the traffic on it.
From Liverpool to Dublin the sea voyage is ab sot 130
miles, requiring, according to the report of the Commissioners
for Railways in Ireland, a main time of 131 hours. It must be
remembered also that oaring the storms and low water, ves-
sels encounter tnuch danger and delay in leaving Liverpool,
harbour. It is said that between Holyhead and Dublin no
packet has been lost since the days of Queen Elizabeth. The

.rate of 27 miles an hour, to which add a 1 hr. from the Lona
don post-office to the railway station, 2 he. from the Liverpool
station to the shore and embarkation; 12 hrs. on the average
from Liverpool to Kingstewn-2 hi. thence to. Dublin post-
office, making altogether 201 hrs., and consequently arriving
in Dublin at hail-past 4 o'clock in the afternoon; which will
be too late for delivering and obtaining the return.from Dub-
lin to England that night.
Moreover in bad weather the arrival in Dublin must be too
late for any delivery or for any dispatch of English mails into
Ireland that night, whereas via Holyhead, the arrive- lin
Dublin can always be secured during fair weather, and rarely
failing its bad weather, in time for the return post of England:
and eventually by means of railways from Dublin through
Ireland to reach Waterford, Cork, Limerick, Galway, Bel-
fast, &c. on the next evening after leaving London. ft must
also be remarked that the early hour for embarleation- at Li-
verpool, (4 in the morning) renders it in winter very dis-
agreeable, not to say hazardous.—The result of the foregoing,
comparison, giving the preference in point of time and eligi-
bility to the line by Chester and Holyhead,- the next question
to be considered is, how the funds can be raised, and What are
the means of remuneration. Government could. borrow at
31 per cent. but is reluctant to take charge of such mirks ;
the public is reluctant to embark in them tulles's' a return of
5 per cent. be calculated upon. Assuming coat of railway
(87 mites) to he £2,500,000, including stations and carrying
establishments, in the first place suppose a grosseeceipt of
about £200.000. a year necessary for the purpose of paying. 5
per cent. This yearly incow may be justly expected froth
the following sources—viz: ?list Office for conveying mails;
Ist class passengers, 2nd class passengers, mail passengers;
parcels, and extra luggage.

that the income of only £200,000- a year would be realized
now, such charge will most likely attract and establish the
travelling between England and Ireland, chiefly upon this
railway, hence the prospect of its paying by iucreased traffic
a further dividend to the proprietors. Its addition also to the
present traffic, a still greater increase may be looked for when
railways are made from Dublin to the distant towns of Ireland,•
by which means Dublin will become the principal entrepot.
for the communication between Ireland and England. The
improving trade of North Wales, particularly of Anglesey,
Carnarvon, Bangor, Conway, and Flint, and probably a new
trade from the proposed harbour at Ormes Heied will con-
tinually produce an increase of revenue from this line.

Sir Richard Bulkeley was then called to the chair, where-
upon resolutions, approbatory of the project,. were passed
unanimously, the meeting, as if influenced by one mind, en-
tering fully into the spirit of the undeltakiog.

INSPECTION DAY.—Yesterday the New York state artil-
lerv, the uniform companies, and the militia in companies
without uniform, paraded in the Park, marched to Washing-
ton-square, and returned to the Park again, under the com-
mand of Brigadier-general Morris. In the front of the City-
hall they were reviewed by his honour the mayor, the boat
of common council, and ahi illiant corps of staff officers. We
saw only one gallant officer with a less formidable weapon
than a handspike, and he carried a brown silk umbrella in
lieu of a sword.

A great deal has been said of the talking canary bird at
the Royal Adelaide Gallery, and of a dog that has been made
to pronounce several words. A correspondent from Boston,
U. S., informs us that a gentleman of the name of Gasman,
in that city, has got a gold fish in a glass globe, which ever)
day smokes a cigar underwater. This as Mr. O'Connell say ,s
" beats Bannagaher."

MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECKS AND Loss OF LIFE.—On the
17th inst. a severe gale was experienced off Cape Florida.
The French brig Courrier de Vera Cruz, Jules Julian, from
navannah, bound to Bordeaux, with a cargo of sugar, cigars,
s‘e., teas driven -ashore in the • night of the ith, ahoot
miles north of Cape Florida light—only seven out of sixteen
souls saved. Brig and cargo totally lost. The survivors
rescued from the devouring ocean were soon visited by a
large party of armed Indians, who spared their lives because
they were Frenchmen, saving that they only killed Amer--
cans. . The Captain and ibe six other survivors were-taken

A West India❑ Morrison has been adiiertising pills to cure
all sorts of disorders, "purely vegetable." The fellow was
charged with imposition and ignorabge,- but maintained the
perfect truth of his description of his Oils, as " purely vege-

soaked in a decoction of liquorice.

A splendid steamer, called the Medusa (the twin of the
Merlin, lately gone to Liverpool), was•.lanuched from the
Royal Dock-yard, at Pembroke, o❑ Wednesday last. She
is to carry the mails, &c. front Liverpool to Dublin, and is
of 900 tons burden, and is to have two eugiues of 200-horse
power. These steamers will put that station on the most re-
spectable footing, and will lie able to vie with and outdo the
merchant-steamers pis iog on the same ground. The Milford
station, it is expected, will benefit by these improvements,
being in the expectation of a transfer of the Liverpool steam-
ers, of 150-horse power, cow in use in that place. The uld

A prospectus for a new steam navigation company, inti-
tled the " Pacific Steam Navigation Company," has appeared
to-day, and created much interest in the mercantile circles
connected with the countries on the shores of the Pacific.
The object of this company is to establish steam navigation
along the coast front 'Valparaiso to Panama, embracing all
the principal ports in Chili, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, and the
west coast of New Granada, and in conjunction with her Me-
jests's packeta in the Atlantic, to promote a more rapid and
regular cmnmunication with Europe by the isthmus of Da-
rien, by which it is ascertained, on the best authority, that
the voyage from England to Lima can be performed in about
thirty days, and to our Australian settlements in about 70
days, instead of four months, points as desiderati that can re-
quie no comment when the mercantile interests of a nation
like this become involved in the question.—Morning Herald.
TAMWORTII.—An inquest was held at the Town-hall, on
Saturday afternoon, on the sufferers in the late fire. Pre-
yione to the commencement of the proceedings the jury took
a view of the bodies of the deceased in the room where they
were laid out at the King's Arms inn. They presented a
most frightful spectacle. The countenances of some of them,
particularly those of the cook and Miss Smith, the barmaid,
were much distorted; but none of them presented any ap-
pearance of violence or convulsion. The court, during the
proceedings of the inquest, was attended by many of the
most respectable gentlemen in the deigletiourheort, and among
others the Right Hon. William Peel (the brother of Sir
Robert) appeared to take a deep and painful interest in the
evidence brought forward. • It appeared from the' evidence
that the fire commenced in the bar, halite origin of it was
unknown. Soon after the tire ryas discovered a report was
circulated that the servants were all safe, and in consequence
nu further exertions Were made to rescue them, but the room
was so full Of smoke, that when the ostler opened the window,
and called out to the persons within to come out, he wasal -
most suffocated. The jury returned a verdict in each case of
accidental death.
ANOTHER FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WES.
TretiN RA ILW V.—Scarcelv twelve days have elapsed since
we recorded the lamentable and frightful death of a young
gentleman named Field, a pupil of Dr. Lardner's, on th
above railroad, before we are again called upon to ;illumine
the occurrence of another accident, which has, we regret to
state, been attended with similar fatal results. It appears
that between nine and ton o'clock on Monday night, as one
of the radioed police, named Chapman, was on duty between
the Ealing and Han tvell stations, close to the latter village,
he heard in the distance the noise of an engine approaching,
and, on its reaching him, the engineer informed him he
feared they had run over something a few yards in the rear.
Chapman instantly. hastened to the spot, when by the light.
of his lantern, he was horror-stricken at discovering his own
father writhing in the agonies of death, the engine and tender
having passed right over him. The almost frantic son in-
stantly.hastened to the residence of Mr. Haffenden, surgeon,
of Hanwell, who immediately returned with him; but all
human assistance was vain, life being. quite extinct. It ap-
pears that the unfortunate man Wits proceeding along the
railway with his son's supper, not anticipating the travelling
of an engine at that late hour, and being deaf, its approach
was unheard by him. The wheels of the engine, on exami-
nation,. were found to have. passed over his legs, body and
chest, in a slahting direction, smashinge his ribs, right arm,
and left leg in a most frightful manner. The basket contain-
ing Chaatuan's supper, together with the hat of his unfortunate
father, were found lying about thirty yards from the spot where
the body was discovered.—Plorning Herald.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SUPPOSED HYDROPHOBIA.—
About ten years ago, says a correspondent, a woman named
Simmonds, then a laundress, residing at Camberwell, but
now cook in a respectable family in Bermondsey-street, was
bitten severely in the leg by a favourite dog. A surgeon was
immediately called in, who cauterized the wound which, in
about three weeks ,completely healed over, and no Rainer
notice was taken of...the circumstance. In about six months
after the occurrence the unfortunate woman was seized with
a species of fit, which lasted for several weeks, during which
period she was considered labouring under and treated for
that most appalling disease, hydrophobia. The medical gen-
tleman who attended her gave her up for lost—but to their
great astonishment site recovered. From that period the wo-
man. who had been of remarkably steady habits, gave way to
drinking, neglected her business, and thus reduced herself
and family feom easy-circumstances to a very poor condition.
Mrs. Siminouds has, front the time of the first attack, at in-
tervals, varying. from five to six months, been afflicted with a
return of the disorder, which invariably lasts for five or six
weeks together, -at which time she foams at time mouth and
presents all the other appearances of hydrophobia, every suc-
cessive attack being moretsevere :than the preceding. It is
somewhat singular that, notwithstanding these repeated at-
tacks, Mrs; Simmonds, althougheat the expiration of each,
requested by tier relations, woubbuever em ecut to bare the
, dog destroyed, and• it- died:of aid age about a twelvemonth
since.—Morning- Post.
INSANITY BROUGHT oN PERSONS IN THE WATER P 15051
CANNON 13FING FIRED OV.O an early hour, a tew
dais since, says the Neivelto k Etenino Post,. two young men
went into the river at Castle Garden to -tavim ; at the very
moment they leapt into the water, a'salute was fired from
some heavy pieces of cannot:, whleh were contiguous. When
the two young men leapt in, they remained under water for
some seconds; and, on their rising to the surface, they were
observed by some bystanders to act in so fantastic a manner,
that it was evident something of an unusual nature had
occurred to them. A boat was therefore immediately pro-
cured, and the two young men taken out of the water, and
brought to the shore,'when it was found that both of them
had lost their senses, and so totally and entirely, as to be
unable to give any explanation of how they had been
affected, Or what' sensation they felt at the moment. Their
insanity was not of a•violent kind, but rather what might be
termed idiotic, or total prostration of every intellectual attri-
bute. In this melancholy condition they were conveyed home
to their friends, and remained -nearly in the same state for
two days, at the end of which one of them partially recoverd
his senses, but the other still •remains without any symptoms
of amendment. In addition to this singular circumstance
may be ment billed the effect produced upon fishes by a smart
blow with a stick on the ice above-them. We havo seen this
tried on a stream a foot or two deep, (suite closed over with
frost. The fish, starting to and fro at some depth below the
ice, were stopped instantly by the concussion, and floated
apparently lifeless in the water.

onF.cnstnE BAY HARBOM—The long-looked for report
of Mr. • Hague Upon the practicability of embanking More-
coMbe Bay has at length been received by the Whitehaven
committee. This interesting and important document, which
is repreSented to us. on the best authority, as being ." com-
pletely satisfactory," we had hoped to be enabled to lay be-
fore our-readers in our present number. The cause of delay
arises from the desire of the Whitehaven committee that Mr.
Hague should enter rather more into detail upon some of the
points in his report. We hear that it will most probably be
received in its amended state some time next week, when no
time will be lost in eallin the corrimittee together for the
purpose o( taking measures for•its publication. The White-

LIVERPOOL MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9.

The arrivals of Grain from Ireland since Tuesday are
limited to a few parcels of Wheat, Barley, and Oats; whilst
those of Flour and Oatmeal, although the former is rather
increasing, are only moderate for to-day, and the supplies
coastwise prove altogether trivial: the foreign imports umn-
prise 2,781 quarters Wheat, and 562 barrels of Flour, from
Trieste, Constantinople, and Leghorn.
In any branch of the Corn trade between Tuesday and to-
day, the transactions have been upon a very limited scale
and the general quotations noted in our last circular, hard:),
suptorted.

Having a very slender attendance of both town and country
buyers at this day's market, and very little disposition to
purchase wheats, all descriptions of old were Id to 2r4 and
Irish new 3d per 701bs cheaper than on Tuesday last, vith
an extremely dull sale generally. Flour, in consequence,
was very unsaleable, and offered at is per sack lower. A
parcel of fine English Malting Barley was reported as sold
on higher term!, but the price did not transpire; grinding
samples, upon a moderate demand, remaining stationary in
value. Malt, being in fair request, prime qualities were the
turn dearer. Beans and Peas maintained late prices.
For Oats and Oatmeal the trade was extremely languid,
and had sales been practicable beyond a merely retail amount,
rather lower rates must have been accepted.
In the Bonded Market we have to report the sales of apargo
of good lower Baltic Red Wheat, at 10s. per 701b5.; 500 bar-
rels of prime Danzig Flour, at .40s. per barrel; and several
lots of Pease, at 38s. to 40s. per quarter.
