THIS Railway will commence near Kinnerslcy, at the point where the intended Line to Hereford, Worcester & Gloucester, will diverge from the main line of the Welsh Midland; and will form a direct con- tinuation through the centre of Radnorshire to Aber- ystwith, passing through Kington, Old Radnor, New Radnor, Pcnybont and Rhayader, by the Valley of the Wye, to Llangcrrig, and thence by the Vale of the Rheidol to the Port of Abcrystwith presenting, for the greater part of the line, every facility of construction, and there being at no point any serious engineering difficulty. The length of the proposed line is Sixty-two miles. It will pass through a populous part of Herefordshire, the centre and most populous part of the county of Radnor, and the Mineral District of Cardigan. By its central course the important articles of Coal, and Lime of the best quality for agricultural purposes, will be supplied to a population of about 60,000, by whom they are now unattainable, at least in sufficient quantities, from the high prices of transit, thus affording fertility, and spreading comfort over a large area of coun- try at less than one-half the expense at which these ne- cessaries are now to be procured. This large District will also find, by the junction of this Railway with the Welsh Midland, an easy and direct transit for its agricultural produce of every des- cription, to the Manufacturing Districts of Worcester- shire, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, and the North of England, as well as to the Mineral Districts of South Wales. Slate, Baltic Timber, West India produce and other imports, at the Port of Aberystwith, will be supplied at very reduced prices to the Counties of Radnor and Here- ford, which Counties will, in return, find a good means of export for their Oak Timber and Bark. The Line will, in conjunction with the Welsh Midland and its connexions, afford the most direct Railway com- munication by Hereford with the Metropolis and the West of England. The immense results attending the introduction of Cheap Coal into the County of Radnor will be apparent, when it is remembered that the County abounds with Limestone and other Minerals, which only require Coal to work them, and facility of export to exhibit the greatest development. From all these sources of traffic an ample return may be relied upon. The Survey of the Line is in a state of great for- wardness, and will be ready for the ensuing Session of Parliament. The liability of Shareholders will be limited to the amount of their Subscriptions. In the allotment of Shares a preference will be given to local applicants, and to holders of stock in the Welsh Midland Company. Applications to be made to the Solicitors and Secretary, of whom Prospectuses and Plans may be obtained. 1-1, Mooryate Street, London, 10th October, 18-15.

IMISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.I
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. I The Quecr, hels been pleased to bestow a pension of P-200 a year on Lady Slice, wife of Sir Martin Archer Shee, "in consideration of her husband's eminence as an artist, and of his services as president of the Reyal Academy, during a period of fourteen years." The Duke of Sutherland has resigned the Lord-Lieu- tenancy of Shropshire. Lord Hill, it is said, will be his lordship's successor. The Duchess d'Aumale was, on Monday, safely deli- vered of a prince. The latest advices from Canada gave a most un- favourable account of the state of Lord Metcalfe's health. On Thursday last, Sir R. Peel, in the presence of a numerous company, turned the first sod of the Trent- valley railway, near Tamworth. The hon. baronet de- livered an address of considerable length, in the course of which he advised railway directors to study the com- forts of all classes—the poor as well as the rich. Among the rumours of the day there is one which is, at least, probable, and therefore merits notice; although we have not been able to trace it to a source sufficiently authoritative to justify our giving it in a more tangible form. It is to the effect that Sir Robert Peel, foiled in the Cabinet in his desire to open the ports for the admission of foreign corn, has determined on convening parliament, and proposing a vote of three millions for the purpose of providing employment for the unemployed masses of the Irish population, and thus enabling them to purchase food. We shall abstain from offering any remarks on the plan until there be better evidence of its truth than is yet before us.— Globe. It is stated that the government have appointed or made arrangements for a most important commission for Ireland the powers of which will be to lay up large stores of provisions, and to provide labour for the poor. Works (says the Dublin Evening Mail) upon a very extensive scale have already been decided upon, and their construction will be one of the first practical proofs afforded of the ad vantages likely to result from this commission, These works will be erected under the superintendence of the county surveyor, and of competent officers selected from the corps of engineers and one of the principal duties of the commissioners will be to purchase and store, upon the best terms, supplies of suitable food, to be given in return for the labour bestowed." Mr. Palmer, of Nazing, M.P. for North Essex, is dangerously ill, with very slight hopes of recovery. We understand that a Privy Council Avas to be held at Windsor Castle on Thursday next, (yesterday) when a proclamation was to be agreed upon for further proroguing parliament from the 27th to an early day in January, then to meet for the dispatch of business. We have to announce the very serious illness of the Bishop of Carlisle. His Lordship's indisposition com- menced about a fortnight since. We are enabled to state that his Lordship is now much better, and the ap- prehension of his family and friends has entirely subdued. The Gazette' contains the conye d'elire for electing Dr. Samuel Wilberforce, Dean of Westminster, to the Bishopric of Oxford, vacant by the translation of Dr. Bagot to Bath and Wells. Mr. Edward Turner Boyd Twisleton has been ap- pointed the fourth Poor-law Commissioner. A report is current in Windsor that Mr. Neville is about to resign the representation of that borough, in consequence of a Government appointment which, it is said, is about to be given to him. In a quarry, about two miles from Glossop, a stone with four complete impressions of the naked human foot was discovered about three weeks since. Upwards of 800 men are now employed in the dock- yard at Deptford, and the whole of the works therein are proceeding with the utmost activity. A horse, bred in Northamtonshire, prime jet black, twenty hands high, and measuring eight feet six inches round the girth, and two feet and a half across the, chest, has just been purchased by Mr. Carter, the lion king." Clerks of sub-divisions are now being called upon for the date of their appointment. This is supposed to be preparatory to a ballot for the militia. A capacious Branch General Post-office is about to be built on the south side of Piccadilly, St. James's,"London. A splendid new chapel was opened last week in Leicester, by the followers of the celebrated Robert Hall, at a cost of £ 6,000. It will scat 1,500 persons. .At Itoserea and Nenagh last week a gentleman was shown by the resident gentry upwards of thirty mur- derous Rock notices to discharge faithful stewards in their employ. A small Dutch cutter has been seized at Hull, having on board upwards of 7,000 lbs. of smuggled tobacco. The captain and crew are all in custody. Lord Stuart dc Rothesay, formerly ambassador to Russia, and distinguished as a diplomatist during the war with Napoleon, died on the 6th inst., at his seat in Hampshire, aged 66. As the noble lord has left no male issue, the title is extinct. Dr. Stock, M.P. for Cashel, Ireland, has announced his intention to resign, on account of not agreeing with his constituents on the question of repeal. A vacancy is occasioned in the representation of the county of Antrim, by the death of John Irvine, Esq. which took place in London on Tuesday. The deceased gentleman was a supporter of the Tory and West India interest, and was 78 years of age. The name of Mainwairing (Cheshire) is spelt one hundred and sixty-three different ways in the deeds, &c., belonging to the family, and can be spelt in two hundred and ninety-four different ways. Some one said the other day, complaining of the wea- ther, We have had no spring, no summer, no autumn." Well, then," observed an able accountant, If we have no winter, there will be a whole year owing to us." M. Barruel conceived the ingenious idea of making a medal from the iron which might be collected from the blood of a subject. The wife of one of the celebrated members of the Ecole do Medicine of Paris wears a ring made of iron which was extracted from blood taken from her husband during the course of a severe disease.lt. Colornbat. A Spanish journal mentions a veteran of the army of Spain who was born in 1731, and consequently is now a hundred and fourteen years old. He remained in the army till he was promoted to the rank of Serjeant, and afterwards received his discharge. In 1815, at the age of eighty-four, he married a young woman of twenty- one, by whom he has one child. He is said to be still so strong and active that no one would think him to be more than seventy; his only infirmity is total deafness. The master of the horse (the Earl of Jersey), has given instructions for a new set of state liveries for the whole of the royal establishment, to be ready by the ensuing season and the estimated cost of which, it is supposed, will exceed £ 8,000. The last royal state liveries for the domestics of the household were made in the reign of George IV. in 1825. In the course of the present week there has been a pretty extensive distribution, amongst manufacturers and others, of a badly lithographed advertisement from Sir James Graham, offering land upon his Netherby estate for manufacturing purposes—for the erection of those tall chimneys" which, not long ago, were looked upon with such horror by him !—Carlisle Journal. Every mile of railway takes eight acres of good land. The 1800 miles already existing, and 20,000 miles im- pending, will require the snug quantity of 114,000 acres, without reclaiming any from other roads or canals. Sir Robert Peel has bestowed the deanery of West- minster upon Dr. Buckland, the well-known professor of geology, and at present a canon of Christchurch, Oxford. Lucifer matches, if kept in warm places, are liable to take fire spontaneously and if left about in the way of children, instant death will follow from sucking them, Two children have been poisoned at Plymouth in this way; each lucifer match contains poison enough to kill a man. The cutting of a small canal, only a mile and three- quarters in iength, through the neck of the Peninsula of Cantyre, in Argyleshire, will diminish the length of the voyage from Glasgow to the entrance of the Caledo- nian canal and the western islands of Scotland, not fewer than one hundred and forty miles. The Paris Moniteur announces the resignation of Marshal Soult as minister of war, and the appointment of General St. Yon to be his successor. The accounts from Algiers in the papers is not of a. favourable character. The generals, it is true, had re-commeneed the system of razzias, but these tended only the more to rouse the natives against the French. Five additional tribes had revolted from the French and joined Abd-cl-Kader. 13Ligeaud had signalised his arrival in Oran province by a general razzia. What a contemptible warfare for a distinguished officer! We give the facts from the Moniteur Algerian of the 5th inst.:—" The troops under the immediate command of the Governor-General effected on the 27th ult. a very large razzia on the insurgent tribes south of Tiaret Teniet-el-IIaad. A column of cavalry and infantry pro- ceeded against the rebels, who had fled, and fell upon them after two night marches. Large numbers of cattle, and a considerable quantity of booty of all kinds, remained in our hands. Tlle enemy, who had at first made a vigorous resistance, fled, leaving nearly 300 dead on the ground. Our losses are insignificant, in comparison with so great a result. The success of Lieutenant Waghorn's journey from Alexandria by way of Trieste, gives great uneasiness to the French government, and it is probable that steps will be taken to accelerate the passage by way of Malta and Marseilles. Very serious outrages have been committed in Li- merick and Clare by parties of Whitcboys, for the pur- pose of intimidating those who arc disposed to pay their rents. Pieparations arc making in the port of L'Orient for an expedition to Madagascar. The frigates Promone and Armide, and the steamer Vauban, from L'Orient, and a contingent from Toulon, are, it is said, to accom- pany the expedition.. The latest accounts from the river Plate, which are up to the 20th of August, speak of tranquillity still pre- vailing there, but that trade unfortunately shared the Kame fate, being at a perfect stand still. The Govern- ment continued to make every preparation.for defence, and nothing effectual had been done at Monte Video to compel General Oribe to retire. A memorial has been forwarded from the principal merchants at Buenos Ayres, praying for the reeul of the British Minister, Mr. Ouseley.
DREADFUL MURDER AT ALSAGERS'…
DREADFUL MURDER AT ALSAGERS' BANK' STAFFORSHIRE. [From the Staffordshire Advertiser.] A most horrid murder has been perpetrated this week in a part of the country where it will be recollected two other murders have been committed within a v< ry brief period. The scene of this third tragedy is Al- sagcrs' Bank, in the parish of Audley, and the shock- ing circumstances attendant upon it have produced a great sensation in the neighbourhood. The name of the murdered man is Adolphus Fielding. He was about 49 years of age, respectably connected, and resided in Stoke Road, Newcastle. He was a poter by trade, but, in consequence of a failure in his sight, became an itinerant dealer in small wares. His rounds were chiefly confined to the parish of Audley and the neighbourhood; and, having travelled in that dis- trict for a number of years, lie was well known, and, it is stated, generally respected. The individual ac- cused of the murder is James Dean, a stonemason. Dean is a married man, but from some cause has been separated from his wife upwards of fourteen years, and lived with another woman at the cottage of a widow named Colclough, at Alsagcrs' Bank. Dean was em- ployed as a mason in the alterations now in progress at Apedale Hall, and had been then in the neighbourhood somewhere about six months. It seems that Fielding, in the course of his journies, not unfrequenlly called at the cottage where Dean lodged, which is a little out of the public road. About noon on Wednesday, Fielding went into the cottage and it does not appear that there were any other per- sons in the house at the time, except James Dean, (who it seems was not in good health and had not been at work that week,) and his little boy, a child of five years of age. The old woman who belonged to the cottage was gone to Newcastle, and the woman with whom Dean lived was at a neighbouring shop. In a very few minutes afterwards this woman was met in the road by the child, who told her that "his father was 'touching' the old man who had given her (his mother) a tea-pot." On the woman hastening to the cottage, to her great horror she saw through the open door the headless body of the unfortunate man on the floor, which was deluged with blood, and Dean striking at the head with an axe 1 An alarm was of course instantly made, and numbers flocked to the place, but from the ferocious appearance of the mur- derer, they were afraid to enter the house. Seeing the crowd, Dean took up a portion of the brains of his unhappy victim, and threw them at the bystanders! After some little time, a man named Scott, a collier, made two attempts to secure him, but was repulsed, He received several wounds about the neck, and ano- ther on the face, during the second encounter, Dean having armed himself with a pair of scissors and a knife. Ultimately the infuriated man bolted the door and placed the head of his victim on the fire, which he commenced blowing with the bellows. This circum- stance being witnessed through the windows, and it seeming to be the intention of the murderer to con- sume the body, Mr. Wilson, and other persons got a ladder, and having procured a quantity of water, went to the top of the cottage, and poured It down the chimney to put out the fire, which plan proved suc- cessful. They afterwards stopped up the top of the chimney, and the steam and smoke drove Dean to an upper room, he dragging up the ladder by which he had ascended after him The door of the cottage was then burst open by the neighbours and the extent of the frightful tragedy was immediately apparent. The head, when taken off the fire, was so disfigured, that it scarcely presented a human aspect. The body still lay on the floor. Various attempts were made to capture Dean, who stood at the top of the stairs, armed with another axe of a larger size than that lie had first used, and who repelled his assailants by throwing bottles and other things he could lay his hands on at them. Ultimately some persons got on the top of the cottage, and having broken through the roof in several places, policeman Webb and others rushed upon him as he -,vits crouching in one corner of the room, and after some severe struggling lie was handcuffed, and brought out. His appearance at this time beggars description. What with liis blackened features from the dust and smoke caused by the fire being put out, and his clothes thoroughly soaked in the blood of his unhappy victim, he presented a spectacle perfectly terrific. The prisoner shortly after his capture be- came quite passive, and was conveyed to the lock-up at Audley, where he said but little, and nothing, we understand, about the fearful crime he had committed. The immediate cause of this bloody deed is shrouded in mystery It does not seem that deceased and Dean had ever quarrelled, or that Dean was any time in the cottage when Fielding called, except on the day in question. What passed between them previous to any blows being struck will, in all probability, never be known, as the only eye-witness was the child, who is of too tender years to relate any further than that his father touched" the man, and that he (the child; then ran out. It is pretty clear from the appearance of a pair of tongs, which are much bent and stained with blood. that the first blow, and in all probability the fatal one, was given with them. With regard to Dean, various statements are in circulation which tend to the belief that lÍs insane On the previous Saturday night, which was the first time that anything remarkable was noticed in his conduct, he got up and alarmed the house by shouting Glory, glory, glory," and adding that the devil was up stairs, and lie would fetch him down." On Mon- day morning he went to work as usual, but spoiled some of the stone he was engaged on, and afterwards went and kissed one of the foremen at the works. In consequence of this strange conduct, he was taken to a physician, in Newcastle, by the woman who passed as his wife, on Monday. The doctor prescribed some medicine, but told her that he was more fit for an asylum than an infirmary, and requested her to take care of him, and bring him again. On the Tuesday, Dean accompanied the woman, to Stone, and returned to Alsagcr's Bank about half an hour previous to the commission of the dreadful deed. Dean is a native of Burnley, in Lancashire, and is about 33 years of age. He was regarded in the neigh- bourhood of Alsager's Bank as a steady, and indus- trious man, and amongst his working companions was generally esteemed. The inquest on the body of the unfortunate deceased was held on Thursday afternoon at the house of Mr. Wilson, the Gresley Arms, Alsager's Bank, before W. Harding. Esq., coroner. Several witnesses having been examined, the room was cleared, and in two or three minutes afterwards the jury returned a verdict of "WILFUL MUR- DER" against James Dean. The prisoner, who was in the Jury Room during the enquiry, made not the slightest observation on any portion of the evidence of the witnesses, and, in fact, appeared quite an unconcerned person, After a few observations from the Coroner, the prisoner was committed for trial at the next Assizes, and the witnesses were bound over. The prisoner was taken to the County Gaol on Friday at noon, by Sub-Inspector Price, and at both the Madeley and Whitmore Stations of the Grand Junction Railway conducted himself in a most remark- able and occasionally in a violent manner.

AUTUMN PLANTING OF POTATOES.—ihe Irish go- vernment commissioners, Professors Kane, Lindley, and Play fair, in a fourth report, strongly recommend the planting of potatoes at once for next year's crop, instead of waiting till the usual period in spring and we have been assured by persons who have heretofore tried autumn planting as an experiment, that the recommen- dation is very judicious. HYDROPHOBIA.—I saw a young girl who, while standing at a hall door, had her apron torn by a mad dog that made a snap at her in passmg. She got a needle and thread, and selved up the rent; and not having a pair of scissors by her she cut off the thread with her teeth and she got the hydrophobia and died of it.-Professor Calles's Lecturcs. A RVINED TINKK;?.—A boy was brought up on Thursday last at the Thames police-office, on a charge of stealing a donkey and cart. A witness stated that the prisoner had offered the donkey and cart for sale, saying lie was commissioned to sell it by Fishing Jack, otherwise Jack the Tinker, who teas broken up and ruined by gambling in raiheays." IMPORTANT TO LEASETIOLDERs.-By a decision of the Court of Queen's Bench, in the case of DoeMuston v. Gladstone, reported in the Jurist of the 25th of June, last, it is apprehended that about 80 out of every 100 of the leases throughout the United Kingdom may be declared legally void and the unhappy persons who have laid out their money on the lands of others, may be disinherited at the free will and pleasure of the ground landlords. This is another of the late Lord Egrcmont's cases of such notoriety, and clearly points out the gross and iniqllitous manner in which the judges (with the law as it is) arc necessitated to administer the laws of one of the greatest kingdoms of the earth. Leaseholders should take care that their covenants to insure in the joint names of themselves and their landlords are com- plied with, or they may be ousted, as in the above cited case, at the pleasure of their landlords.— Western Times. THE FATE OF A GAMBLER.—The course of Riley of Bath" is one not at all unsuited to our pages. The career of such a professor is a homily against his pro- fession, and never had career so pointed a moral as his. But we arc compelled, reluctantly, to give way to those who have better claim to the attention of our readers. Let it suffice to say, that Riley lived a life of the most gorgeous luxury and extravagance—that he was the companion of sovereigns—that he squandered money with a profusion amounting to insanity, and won it by good fortune that seemed connected with the superna- tural nor was he free from generous and daring senti- ments. lie, on one occasion, risked an entire colossal fortune on the hazard of the die against a Russian estate, the slaves on which he was desirous of restoring to freedom. He succeeded in his attempt, and accom- plished his desire. Subsequently he ran a brief course of dazzling splendour he lived in palaces, continued to play, became unlucky, and found fortune, wealth, and friends desert him. At length, the once possessor of millions was seen wandering through the streets of London, naked, famished, and pennyless; and finally lie who had feasted emperors, and fared sumptuously every day, died of absolute starvation ill one of the miserable alleys of our great metropolis. Such is the course of a gamester!—Church of England Quarterly Review. ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE. — A young ?-'?? planter named Da Costa, of immense fortune, r^C^^ came over to this country in search of a wife ana fter visiting some of the most fashionable cities and 1 sp? ing his money like a prince" without meeting the object of his search, he paid a visit to BIrnung ,,t), and was standing one day at the door of the Hen Chickens, when, as old wives would say (and cil*cttlo' stances in this case proved the truth of the saying)) very person he came to England to look for "alk'a across New-street, nearly opposite where he s t,od, Struck with her appearance, he followed the lady* d with much politeness expressed a wish for a bett"  quaintance, and a desire to see her home. The Yo,in", lady, a Miss Rimmer, of Alccster, was at that time ona visit to Mr. Hcely's, Bristol-road, to whose hous<  stranger accompanied her, but his partner in the' not quite liking such a romantic visitor, referred h1^ her parents.

J proof how little young men in general are acqu? tea with these matters, I have heard many who fully culated upon living in a genteel and comfortable stJ'i? declare that a hundred pounds was sufficient for flrni. sb. ing a house. Thus a hundred pounds on one side, either saved, borrowed, or begged, and fifty on thet?er are not unfrequently deemed an ample provision, ?' .h? salary of two hundred, to begin the world with. ?t true the young man finds that salary barely su ciel't for himself; but then, he hears and reads, how niu0 y saved under good female management, and he d011^ not but his deficiencies will be more than made O"by his wife. It is true the young lady, with her ill ???P?jt, and music lessons and change of air, costs her fELtllerhe, least £ 50 per annum, but she does not see ho? g)jc shall cost her husband anything at all!
