The above is without calculating upon any anticipated

The total length of the line as at present laid down, in-
cluding the branch to Nlaldon (5; miles in length),—is to
BurY, about 41 miles ; to Thetford. 53 miles.
The line does not interfere with any ornamental pro-
perty ; there are no engineering difficulties, and the gra-
dients are remarkably good ; and the total cost, including
stations, &c., is not expected to exceed £13,000 a mile,
leaving a considerable balance for engines and stock, par-
liatnentary and incidental expenses. Its claims to public
support, therefore, rest as much upon its intrinsic merits
as on the recognised principle of protection to vested in-
terests—le so far from being inimical to the lints it
joins, it must act as an important feeder to the Eastern
Counties Railway, and will be the means of preventing a

PUBLIC MEETING AT TRANIEBRI.—On Friday after-
noon, a meeting of the ratepayers and landlords of Tran-
mere was held at the Castle Hotel, to consider the pro-
priety of applying for an improvement bill for the town-
ship. The room was filled, and amongst those present
were, G. Law, R. L. Carr, W. Sharp, J. S. Jackson, W.
Perry, R. Tanton, G. Tanton, Quigley, Smith, Anderson,
M. and W. Scott, &C. Mr. ,Carr was called to the chair,
and said they had met to assent to or dissent from
an application for a bill to improve the township.
Mr. H. B. Walker read the preamble of the proposed bill,
and said he brought it forward as a private individual,
and had no professional interest in it. The chairman
asked if any one would vote that it. should be applied for,
and no one doing so, it was withdrawn—it having been
open for inspection only three days. Mr. Perry said,
the meeting should first have been called by the Over.
seers. In this several' gentler:new concurred. The chair-
man said they could either set aboht getting the bill
join Birkenhead(no).; or adopt the statute of William
IV. for watching and lighting. Mr. Sharp thought Gd.
or f•td. in the pound Would watch and light the township.
It was finally agreed that a requisition should be signed
to the overseer to .call.a rotating at a future period, to consider the adoption of the statute alluded. Thanks
were voted to the chair, and the meeting closed.

INQUESTS BEFORE THE BOROUGH CORONER, YES-
TERDAY.—On view of the body of Elizabeth Bathgate,
aged 83. The deceased, (whose son is clerk at Edge-hill
Church,) was on Saturday morning walking on the road
near Aigburth, a little beyond Toxteth Park, when an
omnibus was passing. The driver called out to her as she
crossed the road, she being in the way ; but being of great
age, and becoming confused, she mistook her way in en-
deavouring to avoid the danger, and was thrown down,
when one of the wheels passed over her head and killed
her on the spot. No blame was attributable to the coach-
man. Thejury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."
--On the body of Benjamin Holden, whose body was
found in the river on Sunday, in a far advanced state of
decomposition. He was a fireman on board of one of the
Egrernont ferry steam-boats, and was missed about 14
months ago. The body had nn clog on but the shoes
and stockings, by which alone it was identified. It is
supposed he had risen from his bed undressed at the time
stated, and had accidentally fallen overboard, Verdict.—
" Poona drowned."

SlR.—The differences which at present exist in the
Established Church give pain to its friends, and it is to
be hoped that, ere long, the clergy will arrive at an ami-
cable understanding on a subject which in itself is com-
paratively of trivial importance. If, indeed, a weight,
similar to that which belongs to the sacred Scriptures,
be attached to the rubrics, then they are entitled to im-
plicit obedience; but if, on the contrary, they are to be
regarded as the compilation of fallible men, who, learn'd
as they undoubtedly were, felt constrained to make slight
concessions to the prejudices of the times in which they
lived, but which did not involve man's salvation, the ad-
vocates for their observance cannot too soon reflect on
the course they are pursuing. I would respectfully call
their attention to the 20th Article, which they have sub-
scribed, and in which they will find the following pas-
