It requires two pc rsons to wake a quarrel. Why has
there b, en na serious affray, or loss of life, at Repeal
Meetings? For the best of ail possible reasons; because
no one interfered with the Repeaters. Toe Protestants
and Orangemen were peaceable, and kept aka Let the
Repealer F and Papists do the same at the Orange meetings,

NOTICES

John Brown
IZOSV M

Henry Cooke

We have received the first part of this splendidly illus-
trated edition of the Holy Scriptures. The renown of
Mr. Brown, as a judicious commentator, has long been
established, and the numerous additional notes by Dr.
Cooke, of Belfast, render this a truly valuable work.
There is an immense fund of information in the explana-
tory notes, and the practical observations are calcul-ted
to impress the sacred precepts on the memory, and to
cultivate in the reader those Christian graces, which it is
the aim and tendency of the Gospel to produce. Every
advantage has, evidently, been taken of the recent disco-
veries in all the branches of science, to elucidate the ap-
parently obscure portions of Holy rrit, whilst no oppor-
tunity is spared of " comparing Spiritual things with
Spiritual." The marginal references are very copious.
and the work, which is published in parts, is illustrated
by a number of steel engravings. The publication is
printed with a legible type, is of the quarto size, and will
form when completed a very elegant volume.

SELECTIONS.

CURIOUS, IF TRUE.—The following is literally trans-
lated from Le Politique Beige:—" The Commissioner
Lau (Law ?), member of the Court of Insolvent Debtors,
has just finished h s report on the debts of Father Ma-
thew, the Temperance Apostle, contracted in 1842. The
debts recognised amount to £13,000 sterling, upon which
a dividend of 4s. 9d. is about to be paid. The declared
debts amounted to £27,000 sterling. The bankruptcy of
Father Mathew arises from the cost of hiring Covent-
garden Theatre !"

A ROARING ORATOR.—" Mr. President, I shall not
remain silent, Sir, while I have a voice that is not dumb
in this assembly. The gentleman, Sir, cannot expostu-
late this matter to any future time that is more suitable
than now. He may talk, Sir, of the Herculaneum revo-
lutions, where republics are hurled into arctic regions, and
the works of centuries refrigerated to ashes ; but, Sir, we
can tell him, indefatigably, that the consequence multi-
plied subterraneously by the everlasting principles con-
tended for thereby, can no more shake this resolution than
the roar of Niagara rejuvenate around these walls, or the
howl of the midnight tempest conflagrate the marble sta-
tue into ice. That's just what I told them." The Presi-
dent fainted.—Boston paper.

CHESTER AND MANCHESTER DIRECT
RAILWAY,
WITH A BRANCH TO BIRKENHEAD.

(PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED.)

Capital £1,000,000, in 20.000 Shares of £5O each
Deposit, £2 15s. per Share.

----
rlll-1E Promoters of this Railway, encourage
.1 favourable support which has been given tod theby proth-
e
ject, and in compliance with various recommendations
they have received, have determined upon the addition
of a Branch to Birkenhead, which, a'though it will mani-
festly tend to the advantage of the Shareholders and the
Public, will be attended with comparatively little addi-
tional outlay. The project will still retain its chief cha-
racteristic of a direct Railway, and, by its connexion,
near Warrington, with the Grand Junction Company, is
sufficiently comprehensive, without resorting to a com-
plicated system of branch lines, or materially conflicting
with the interests of existing companies.
The Line will commence at the city of Chester, and
proceed, by way of Trafford, Frodsham, and Pres'on-
brook, to Warrington, thence, by Lyrom and Stretford,
direct to Manchester. From a point on the main Line,
near Frodsharn, a Branch will be taken to join the Ches-
ter and Birkenhead Railway, so as to unite Manchester,
in the most direct manner possible, with the Docks now
being formed at Birkenhead.
As Manchester, from its geographical position, is the
centre of railway communication between Scotland and
the most populous districts of England, so Chester, from
a like cause, is the great centre of railway communication
between the capitals of Ireland and of England. To
connect these two points by a direct and independent
line of railway must, therefore, be of the utmost inopor-
tance, not only in a local point of view, but to the whole
commercial intercourse of the country.
This Line will be the most direct route, by Holyhead,
to Ireland, and will be, in all respects. by far the prefera-
ble channel of intercourse and transit between Ireland
and the great manufacturing districts of England. By
the railways connecting Chester with Wrexham, Oswes-
try, Shrewsbury, Hereford, Gloucester, and South Wales,
this will be the nearest route from Manchester to the
southwestern parts of England and to the minerals of
Monmouth and Glarnorganshire. The communication
with Bristol, Gloucester, and Exeter will be speedy and
direct. On reference to the map, it will be seen that a
very considerable distance will be saved by this Line, as
compared with the present circuitous routes by Crewe and
Birkenhead, the former being fifty-two miles and the lat-
ter forty-six miles, while the proposer' Line is only thirty-
four miles, saving in one case eighteen miles and in the
other twelve miles, besides the serious inconvenience, loss
of time, and expense of passing through Liverpool and
crossing the water at that place.
It is confidently expec•ed that this Line will be the
precursor of another scheme, of no ordinary importance,
namely, to render Chester an efficient port for large ves-
sels.
This subject was entertained by Sir John Rennie, in
1835, and subsequently, in the same year, by the late Mr.
Chapman, who wrote an able report upon the capabilities
of the River Dee. It was again investigated, in 1837, by
Sir John Rennie and Mr. George Remington, and the
practicability of forming a good navigable channel for ves-
sels of large burthen, together with docks at Chester, was
then fully and clearly established.
The entrance channel would commence at Dawpool,
which is easy of access (and infinitely preferable in point
of access and safety to the docks at Liverpool or Birken-
head) for vessels of large burthen, during eight hours
every tide, both at springs and neaps ; and the sill of the
lock would be laid sufficiently low to
admit vessels draw-
ing twenty feet water to enter at all tides.
This Railway, therefore, in connexion with the proposed
docks, will render to Chester and Manchester incalcula-
ble advantages. To the former, it will restore the proper
position natural to so important a city ; to the latter it
will give another outlet; by sea, to the manufacturing dis-
tricts, free of the heavy port charges, dues, and risks to
which the produce is now subject. It has not been
thought advisable to combine the two objects in one com-
pany at present, but, should it be found requisite, the two
may hereafter be amalgamated.
Merits of no ordinary degree, therefore, may fairly be
claimed for this Railway, whether taken in connexion with
the proposed docks or as standing alone, combining, as it
does, all the advantages of any other lines, with this great
addition, that it will be the high road to the most conve-
nient outport of Manchester, and will be quite independ-
ent of any associations or influences that might tend to
oppose the growing desire for a means of direct and inde-
pendent communication between Manchester and the port
of Chester.
The Line has been carefully examined. There are no
difficult earth works to be encountered ; on the contrary,
it will be cheap, and of easy formation. Power is reserved
to the Committee to deviate from the proposed Line in the
vicinity of Manchester, should ulterior arrangements ren-
der it expedient.
