WRECK OF THE BRITANNIA.

On the lath November the Britannia, AndreWS, sailed from
Miratnichi for Cork, laden with timber. Ott the 2lst, in Ist.
46 14, long. 8941, she encountered a very severe gale, with a
tremendous sea. After scudding for six hours under close-
reefed maintopsail, she rounded with a tarpaulin in the main
and another in the wizen rigging, all the other sails having
been previously blown away. lite crew were then obliged to(
ease the vessel by cutting away the maintoNzallantwast and
inaintoptnast yards. Notwithstanding this she was hove on her
beam-ends, everything on the deck carried away, her waterways
opening three inches on her starboard side, :When she righted
the-men were constantly at the pumps for two days and nights,
with 15 feet water in the hold. hinging they could not keep her
clear, the men gave themselves up for lest, and declared they
would sooner die than continue to endure the excessive fatigue
they had unde t gone, being, in fact completely eihausterl. As she
gave no indication of sinking, six of the men got some pork
into the tops, and remained there font days and no hts,
the captain, the mate, and the other hands kept on deck, under
the shelter of the roundhouse, preferring the wet to the extreme
cold aloft. After being in this deplorable situation for several-
days, the weather having Moderated. they contrived to bend
foresail, and put the ship
hefore the wind,-having got out of the
track of vessels; hot the wind again blew we'st guns," and
the gale came on with still greater violence, and eatticd it
away. In this state of distress they were hailed by the Rialto,
of Liverpool, and the crew were taken on board that vesseli
and landed het° on Sunday. The Men arc in a most pitiable
State, and their sufrel-ings from cold and hunger were most in-
tense. They state that they lived on raw provisions fur ten
days!

THE "GRASPING" CLERGY.—The clergy, with their usual
illiberality. continue to make great reductions in their tithes in
this neighbourhood. We adduce the following cases as a proof
of this:—The Rev. J. C. Cooke, rector -Of Swilland, deducted
15 per cent. at his tithe audit, unsolicited, and this from a mo-
derate composition, which gave entire satisfaction to his parish-
ioners. At Fratnlingharn, the trustees of the Rev. J.,ith Nor-
cross have this year generously granted to his parishioners
deduction of live per cent. upon their existing tithe eomposi.
tions. The liadleigh•andit took place on Thursday; the 26th
of November, when the venerable the Archdeacon t,Fall, with.
his usual liberality, gave baCk 10 per cent. upon the tithes of
that parish; after which the parishioners pat took of an excel-
lent dinner, consisting of every delicacy of the season, with 'ca.:

" There were people who styled themselves friends of liberty,
and went about on self-appointed missions, whose proceedings
he ?nust deprecate. His own opinion was, that the cause of
freedom was injured by systematic agitation. He was a
great friend of freedom, but an enemy to agitation, because he
knew it always produped e reaction. He knew the tories were
nolpiere, because they were afraid they would hear sentiments
insulting to themselves: The tories were anxious to return to
the places which they had lost—from which they have been
driven. Collin any man blame them? Was it not human
nature? Was it not natural that as their disappointment was
strong, so their language should likewise he violent and intem-
perate. It would be well if all parties would imitate, even to
the, most strenuous advocacy of their rights, the moderate tone
which always distingUished their noble guest. When assembled
in the cause of freedoM, no word should be uttered which might
oirend. Sometimes it was disagreeable to proclaim openly the
troth —vet when it was necessary to do so, he (Mr. B.) would
never shrink at any personal risk, from boldly and unreservedly
annonncing it. He shrunk not, therefore, from saying, the great

I On Tuesday last, pursuant to a requisition to the bailiffs of
. Tamworth, a highly respectable meeting of the inhabitants of
' that borough and its neighbourhood was held atthe Town-hall,
for the purpose of expressing their opinion of the projected
• railway from Birmingham to Derby, passing through rr anworth
and Burton-on-Trent. - The members for the borough, the
right hon. Sir Robert Peel and the right hon. William Yates
Peel, and many of the neighbouring landowners were also pre-
' sent; and a deputation from the directors of the rail Way com-
pany, consisting of Henry Smith, Joseph Walker, and William
Beale, Esqrs., attended from Birmingham.
Thomas Braman, Esq., bailiff, having been called to the
chair, stated, that in consequence of a requisition which he held
in his hand, signed by many of the most respectable inhabitants
of the town, and wishing to accede to their desires, the bailiffs
had called this ateeting, to consider the advantages which might
accrue to the town and neighbourhood of Tamworth from the
projected railway, he should therefore merely read the requisi-
tion; and not trespass further on their time, knowing, as he did,
that there were many gentlemen at the meeting more compe-
tent to give information upon the subject than he was.
Fleury Smith, Esq. and William Beale, Esq., who formed
part ora deputation from Birmingham, severally entered on an
, explanation of the objects of the proposed undertaking.
The right hon. Sir Robert Peel then rose, and spoke to the
following effect :—Mr. Bailiff and gentlemen, I attend this
meeting with great satisfaction, not only as your representative
in parliament, but also as an individual deeply interested in the
prosperity of this town and neighbourhood. In moving the re-
solution I hold in my lima, I must, with Air. Smith, disclaim
any intention to dictate to you the views you should take with
reference to this subject. I move it in order that every gentle-
man present may form his own unbiassed opinion, and that
.a
• question which is so interesting to all of us may be opened to 'a
full and tree discussion; and I hope that any gentleman who
may wish for explanation or information regarding the proposed
railway will avail himself of this opportunity to acquire it; and
if he entertain an} doubt upon the proptiety of the undertaking,
will express it, in order that, if it can be It may be cleared up by
the gentlemen who -attend here from Birmingham upon this
occasion.. 1 shall tirst read the resolution, by the moving of
which, I shall conclune my observation's. !The riglit honour-
able
baronet here read the resolution.] This resolution, gen-
tlemen, von will perceive, affirms two propositions, Ist. That the
projected railsvi y will be conducive to the general welfare of
thecountry ; and 2dly, That it *la, tend to the local interests
and prosperity of this town and neighbourhood. Gentlemen,
you are far too enlightened to render it necessary for me to say
anything. as to the great utility, nay, the vast importance, of
having throughout the kingdoiu a cheap and rapid mode of com-
munication. Ido not hesitate to avow myself favourable to the
principle of communications by railways, and on all occasions I
shall give my cordial support to such tonlertaktiigs, provided I
am satisfied they will succeed as speculations, and prove a pro-
fitable investment of capital to their projectors. It is no re-
flection on the parties who have originated the undertaking, that
their main or primary object is their own individual profit,
for it is only by individual gain that the general interest
is advanced ; and unless it can be proved to tie that the views
of profitable investment with which this undertaking is coin-
' nienced will be realised, any doubts I might entertain of its site-
, cess would beanaterially increased; for in order that it should
succeed as a general measure, it must be shown to be profitable
to its promoters. 1 ion, gentlemen, favourable to such under-
takings, because I believe that our commercial interests are
best promoted by a rapid communication, which will, as it were,
bring together remote parts of the empire, and unite all our
great commercial towns and agricultural districts. It is abso-
lutely essential, in order to maintain our commercial superiority
over the rest of the world, that the most favourable means of
transit through the country should be adopted ; for we are now
in a perfectly different position froia that in which we were
during the late war. At that period, nearly all the neighbour-
ing countries were the scenes of welfare, and their inhabitants
were consequently precluded from competing with us in com-
mercial pursuits. We had also a powerful maritime force, by
which we commanded the seas, and hence we enjoyed a mono-
poly of trade and. manufactures in the markets of the world.
Duthie' the war which ravaged Europe front 1793 to 1815, we
had a monopoly, hot only of the trade and commerce of Europe
but of nearly the whole of the globe. Peace happily succeeded,
and has since prevailed, and other countries are now, and have
been for some years past, directing their energies to the im-
provement and cultivation of their atautifactures and internal
resources; in fact, so rapid has been their progress that they
now compete with us in nearly every branch of manufacturing
industry and commercial enterprise ; and it is my opinion that
it will be impossible to maintain our superiority and struggle
successfully against this powerful competition sinless we exert
all our energies to bring into operation every improventent
which skill and intelligence can devise. 'We must not, gentle-
men, close our eyes to the fact that railways are now being
established on the continent, and that they exist to a great ex-
tent in the United States of America. gur can we by any
means prevent our artisans and our capital front leaving the
country, nor our machinery from beingexported, if there should
appear elsewhere a fairer prospect of profitable employment. I
think, therefore, that we are bound to encourage these under-
takings in every part of England, whenever we have rational
grounds for believing they will succeed. I cannot doubt it is
for the general interest of the country that they should be estab-
lished. If by a railway communication the journey front Lon-
don to Birmingham can be performed bs a merchant or manu-
facturer in five hours instead of thirteen, thereby enabling him
to go to London, transact his business, and return the same day,
the great advantages arising front so rapid a communication
must be obvious. Again, whatever improvement in communi-
cation will enable the poor man, in the present state of the poor
laws, to carry his labour, perhaps the only valuable property he
possesses, to the best market, and where it is most wanted,
must be a decided advantage, not only to him, but to the com-
munity at large ; and it is of great importance that these lines
of railway be laid down with a view to the general interests o
the country. It appears, therefore, to me, that it of the ut

most importance to this country—that it is, in fact, indispensa-
bly necessary to the maintenance of its present eminence and
superiority, that such undertakings should be encouraged. So
much for the bearing of the subject upon the general question.
I shall now draw your attention snore particularly to the effect
tof the line under discussion upon the interests of this town and
neighbourhood. I hold in my hand a map, showing the line of
railway front London to Birmingham, and front Birmingham
to Liverpool. It comprehends also most of the large towns in
the West Riding of Yorkshire, and comprises, in addition, also,
Hull, Gloucester, and the country lying between these various
places. Then, gentlemen. you are probably aware that a rail-
way is now in process of execution between London and Bir-
mingham, which will probably be opened to the public in about
three years; there is also one in execution between Liverpool
and Birmingham, which will be completed in about two years.
Thus, acts of the legislature have already passed which will
make Birmingham the centre of communication between Lon-
don, Liverpool, Manchester, and other great manufacturing and
commercial districts. There are also bills in contemplation for
other lines of railway which have not as yet received, but which
will, in all probability, have the sanction of the legislature in
the next session of parliament. One of these, for which notice
has been given, is to unite Derby with Leeds; and this rail-
way will immediately pass through, or touch upon, the following
places:—Chesterfield, with a population of 10,000; Sheffield,
91,000; Barnsley, I 0,000; Htiddersfield, 31,000; Halifax,
109,000; Leeds,. 123,(X)0; Wakefield, 21,000; and I ant given
to understand that this railway has received very general encou-
raeemement, and that there is no probability of any very con-
siderable, and certainly no successful, opposition to it • and we
may., therefore, take iefor granted that, in the course of nest
session of parliament, an act will be obtained for uniting Leeds
with Derby by railway communication. - There is also another
line proposed, to unite Birmingham stud Gloucester. At the close,
therefore, of the next session of parliament we shall probably stand
thus. Besides the lines of railway front London to Liverpool thro'
Birmingham, there will be a direct line between Birmingham
and Gloucester, effecting a direct coninumication to the port of
Bristol, and, through it, to the West Indies. We shall also
find a line connecting Derby with Leeds. Supposing this to be
the case, I think, gentlemen, under such circumstances, you
cannot entertain a doubt, when you consider the wealth, intel-
ligence, and commercial enterprize of the people of Yorkshire
and the North, that the', will by some means or other, effect a
commlinication with Birmingham and its important adjacent
districts, as well as the ether parts of the kingdom, by an union
of these great lines. The question, therefore, is, in what man-
ner that union is to be effected. The gentleman present, who
attend front Birmingham on this occasion, propose to accom-
plish it by uniting Derby with Birmingham by a railway pass-
ing through or near Burton-upon-Trent and rantworth. The
proposal is, .as I apprehend it, that the railway shall pass from
Derby to Nether Whitacre, by way of Burton and '1 antworth,
in one continued line, and that it shall there diverge, one line
leading to Birmingham, by way of Yardley, and the other
uniting with the London and Birmingham Railyway, at or near
Hampton-in-Arden. Now, gentlemen, I presume it to be the
general opinion of this meeting, that to such a proposition, sup-
posing these to be the best lines for effecting the objects con-
templated, we ought to give .our assent and support. It cer-
tainty appeals so me, opus! a cursors- examination of this-mil),
that. it is by Tantwoith that a line fiorn Birmingham to Derby
should run. It is in a direct line between the two places, and
not only so, but I apprehend that, on account of the vallies and
the natural levels of the country, it will be found that this line
can he executed at considerably less expense than any other.
In all probability in regard to distance, a shorter line to Lon-
don from Derby might be devised, and it is probable that other
proposals will be made for connecting Derby with Loudon by
way of Nottingham and Leicester. Supposing this to be the
case, it can in no way affect the line between Derby and Bir-
mingham. There call be no doubt that the population of York-
shire and the North, in conjunction with the other interests
concerned, would insist upon a more direct communication with
Birmingham and the West of England, than could be offered
by way of Nottingham and Leicester. It is also to he observed,
that when this line reaches• Nether Whitacre, it arrives within
seven miles and a half of the London and Birmingham Rail-
way at Hampton-in-Arden ; and I have, therefore, (said the
right hon. hart.) little doubt that a inaction with it will be ef-
fected near that place. l also think that it will be a great ad-
vantage to this town and neighbourhood, that such a junc-
tion should be effected, and that we should by no means limit
the advantages to be gained by us from this railway to Birming-
ham alone, but that we ought also to have a direct commuuica-
tion with London. My hope is, that this will be effected, and
that this railway will not only connect us with Birmingham, but
also with the London and Birmingham Railway, by uniting with
it at some point near Hampton-in-Arden. Gentlemen, I state
to yon freely my belief is, that this undertaking is likely to suc-
ceed, but it would have beers more satisfactory to me to have
had longer time to have considered of it, and to have seen the
calculations upon which its success depends. I did not see the
plan of this railway till about six weeks ago, and I am now
speaking without any accurate details, but arguing from a ge-
neral impression, and a strong opinion I have in favour of rail-
ways generally; and looking at the great interests con-
cerned between Leeds and Gloucester, I am inclined to
think that it will succeed, and that it will meet with
the encouragement of Parliament; but I will reserve to
myself, and I recommend you to reserve also, a final
decision until you see the calculations which are essential
to it. Gentlemen, I most cordially hope this project will
succeed; I shall give it my assent as a landed proprietor,
and I shall support it in my place in parliament, for it does
not appear to me to be one of those speculations with
which at present the newspapers so much abound. As re-
gards the local interests of Tamworth, we have the best
guarantee in the character of the gentlemen who are conduct-
ing the undertaking ; they are persuaded that this is the line
which will be of most advantage to Birmingham, and which can
beeffected at the least expense, and I confess that what I have
heard from Mr. Smith still more recommends it to me. I tell
these gentlemen we feel deeply interested in the welfare and

prosperity of Birmingham ; it is the great metropolis near
which we live, and there is nothing which can tend to produce
an increased demand for Birmingham manufactures, and pro-
mote the welfare of Birmingham, which must not, at the same
time, prove advantageous to us, and increase the prosperity of
Tainworth. If we can establish this proposed communication
with Birmingham, it will bring us within half an hour of each
other, and promote the mutual good understanding and sym-
paty which exists between us. I have now, gentlemen, stated
to you the reasons which will induce me to give my assistance
to this measure, and I again repeat, that it is my intention to
give to it my strenuous support. Ido so, believing it will con-.
duce to the prosperityof this town and neighbourhood, in which
I take the deepest interest. Mr. Smith has justly remarked
that Birmingham has risen to importance from its central posi-
tion, and from the means of communication which it possesses
with other large and important districts, and I hope the gentle-
men who originated and who will have to carry this railway
into execution, will perceive that the interest we take in it must
depend upon the facilities afforded us in making use of it as a
direct communication from this town. The advantages of
railways do not consist so much in the carriage of heavy goods,
as in the conveyance of passengers and of the lighter articles
of mannfacture, in which they are of infinite importance. If,
therefore, we are to have a railway pass through Tamworth,
and the only advantage we are to derive from it is to be the
pleasure of seeing passengers comfortably travelling along it at
the rate of thirty.miles an hour; the benefit to us, indeed, will
be but very small, not much greater than we should derive from
seeing a balloon pass over our heads, therefore, when we say
we are willing to support this line of railway, it is with this
necessary reserve—that the originators of it shall do every thing
that is in their power for the benefit and convenience of this
town and neighbourhood, and with the understanding that we
are to have a station at Tainworth. Where it may be, cannot
now be determined, but I hope it will be in the most advantage-
ous place for the inhabitants, without regard to any personal
considerations. I trust a committee will be appointed to confer
with the undertakers of the measure, and after the fullest dis-
cussion and mature consideration, I hope that situation will be
adopted which will give the greatest facility for convenience to
the inhabitants of Tainworth and the surrounding places. I
hope, also, the interests of the agriculturists of the neighbour-
hood will be consulted. I know we shall derive advantage from
having a rapid transit to the Birmingham market, by which we
can, in half an hour perhaps, deliver our provisions in that town;
but these advantages will materially depend upon the facilities
afforded to the farmers to get their produce upon the line of
railway, and although I ant aware great inconvenience would
arise from a multiplication of the principal stations, I hope
subordinate stations will be made on the line for the purpose of
effecting this object, without obliging the farmers to carry their
produce any long distances to .he station-houses. I am aware
that doubts have been expressed by the agriculturists with res-
pect to the advantages of railroads to them, but I confess I do
not share in these doubts; I do not think we can do better for
the agriculturists than to open for them new markets by the pro-
posed communications with the large towns. It is thought by
some there will not be so great a demand for horses, and that,
consequently, a decrease in the consumption of corn will ensue.
Isi my opinion, theie apprehensions need not be entertained.
The same objections were felt with respect to the canals, when
the) were originated, but they have proved groundless. The
general prosperity of the country will be increased by railways,
as it has been by canals, and, consequently, there will be a ge-
neral increase of traffic, and the demand for horses will not, on
the whole, be decreased; of course, on the present main lines of
coach travelling, fewer coaches may be employed, but the
traffic in lateral directions will be increased by the general im-
provement. When it was proposed in the Himse of Commons
to have a steam boat between London and Calais, the inn-
keepers on the line of road, between London and Dover,
feared they would be ruined, and petitioned against the mea-
sure, but every one knows that since the establishment of
steam-boats, there sea far greater traffic on that road than there
was before: such will, I believe, be the case with railways. In
my opinion, railways will increase in number, and with them
not only the prosperity of the manufacturing but also the agri-
cultural interests. I shall conclude by proposing the resolu-
tion. I propose it with a view to promote discussion, because
before you give your consent to this project, the originators of
which admit it will be of advantage to the town of Birmingham,
and beneficial to themselves, I wish you to snake the best terms
you can for the benefit of this place. There is one other sub-
ject, to which I will call your attention. The conveninis of this
meeting by the municipal authorities of this town, is the last act
which they will have ,to perform in their corporate capacity, the
period having now 'rrived at which we come under the opera-
tion of the new corporation act. I hope you will all cordially
join with me in regarding this, their last act, as one calculated
to promote the prosperity of this town and neighbourhood, and
as gracing their retirement from an office of which they have
zealously and faithfully performed the duties. The right hon.
baronet concluded a speeds which was listened to with the
deepest attention, by moving the resolution, which appears
elsewhere.

Mr. Parsons, jun. and the Right Hon. Wm. Peel, M.P.
then addressed the meeting, after which a committee was ap
pointed to forward the objects of the meeting.

THE NORTH MIDLAND AND BIRMINGHAM AND
DERBY JUNCTION RAILWAY.

PUBLIC MEETING AT THE TOWN-HALL, DERBY.
On Wednesday last, in pursuance of a requisition to R. W.
Haden, Esq., mayor, most respectably signed, a public meeting
of the inhabitants of Derby was held at the Town-hall, for the
purpose of considering the advantages to be derived from the
formation of a line of railway front Leeds to Derby, and from
Derby to Biriiiiughani., Nearly every individual of any com-
mercial importance in the town was present; and inflUential
deputations, from other places on the proposed line of railway,
attended. The Derby and Birmingham Railway Company was
represented by Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart., M.P., Henry Smith,
Joseph Walker, and William Beale, Esqrs.; Sir John Fowler
and Samuel Allsopp, Esq., appeared for the inhabitants of Bur-
ton-on-Trent; and 'Tomas Braniall, Win. Parsons, and T. B.
Stevens. Esqrs., for those of Tainworth.
Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart., M.P., one of the committee of the
Birmingham and Derby railway, in, addressing the meeting,
stated, in very forcible terms, the great advantages which would
arise from the formation of the proposed line of railway. It
might be said that the several projected railways would render
Derby the grand artery for communication between the eastern
end western coasts of England; and, if they met with the con-
currence of the meeting, the means of intercourse would be
established between Hull aud the West Riding of Yoikshire,
and Birmingham, the great manufacturing districts of Stafford-
shire, and Loudon, and the western side of the kingdom. It
would be an act of supererogation in him to attempt to prove
the many and important advantages which such a connected
communication would coiifer upon Derby, a town of such rising
commercial consequence; and, with regard to the line of road
from Derby to Birmingham, he would say that there was not
one in the country whim presented fewer difficulties than itdid.
Its natural advantages were unusually great, being nearly a
dead level all the way—not requiring the formation of any tun-
nel, and, though passingover three rivers, the. Dove, the Trent,
and the Tame, yet offering no inconvenience in effeeting that
object. No country could be better adapted for the pro-
posed purpose than this was. Other plans might be pointed
out, but he would say that none could promise so many advan-
tages of commuuication with the metropolis as the one now
under consideration; fur it was most important that Birming-
ham should not be omitted. The two towns of Burton and
Tainworth were of considerable importance, and isn these towns
there was but one feeling in reference to the scheme. He (Sir
Oswald, Mosley) was interested in every thing relating to Der-
by, and should be the last man to recommend any plan of detri-
ment to its interest ; but when he saw a project attended in its
execution with so many facilities he felt that he should not be
doing his duty if he did not strenuously call upon the inhabi-
tants for their support. The line would go direct to Birming-
ham, but persons travelling to the metropolis would proceed
thither by a branch line which, avoiding Birmingham, would
join the London and Birmingham railway near Stonebyidge.
The committee did not come to the meeting in the spirit of
hostility to any other company, but simply to show that the
line they proposed was indisputably superior in every respect to
any which might be pointed out. Indeed, so clearly did its pe-
culiar advantages, both as to the traffic expected and the ex-
pense of formation, appear to him, that he should have been
ashamed of himself had he not come forward. to bear his testi-
molly in its favour.—The hon. baronet was warmly cheered on
resuming his seat.
