This TONTINE to be founded on the purchase of a valuable Property in the County of illonmouth, producing a Rental of £ 445 a-year. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY. FIRST. WOODLAND'S ESTATE, situated at Malpas, two miles from Newport, Monmouthshire, con- sisting of a handsome Mansion House, erected within the last nine years, and Twelve Acres of Land together with Lawn, Shrubberies, Gardens and Orchard, Coach- Ilouses, Stables, Harness and Servants' Rooms, Granary, Store-Houses, Cow-Houses, and other suitable outbuild- ings, &c., &c., with every requisite for the residence of a family of the first respectability. This property is well known, as being in one of the most beautiful situations in South Wales. 2nd. THE TREDEGAR ARMS HOTEL, with five other houses adjoining this latter propetty, the best in the town, has been substantially built within the last eight years, and is well known to the commercial world from the extensive business carried on therein. As a proof of the value of this property, £ 1100 was given about nine years since (in consequence of no beer-houses being allowed in this town) for the site, and a small dilapidated inn, which was obliged to be taken down. Tredegar, and its environs, contain a population of upwards of 25,000 inhabitants. The tenure of the whole property is leasehold and that firstly described is held for a term, of which 42 years are unexpired and that secondly described, for a term of which 37 years are unexpired. PLAN OF THE TONTINE. Capital, Egooo in 360 Shares of £25. Each Share- holder shall have the option of naming either himself, or any other person, whose axe, next birthday, shall not be less than 74 years, but shall not be at liberty to appoint any nominee who has been previously named. The Rents 4o be divided annually, on the 30th of October, among those Shareholders whose nominees were living on the 29th day of September preceding. Each party on taking his or her share or shares, is to pay a deposit of C5 to either of the Bankers above named to the credit of the MONMOUTHSHIRE TONTINE and shall, before the expiration of thirty days after such payment deliver to the Solicitor a written nomination of a life, as his or her nominee in respect of such share or shares, whose age all the next birthday will be at least 74, and shall afterwards pay the residue of his or her subscription, by such calls as the Trustees may makfs That if either of the said nominees shall die before the whole of the shares are taken, the party nominating such life may substitute another life, whose age on the next birthday shall not be less than 74 years, as aforesaid. Upon the death of all the nominees save one the Tontine shall be determined, and the whole of the premises shall become the absolute property of the Shareholder owning a share or shares (as the case may be) upon the life of the last surviving nominee, unless it shall happen that one person smut .uiuj to the whole of the shares, in which case the Trustees shall convey the property absolutely to such person. The formation of the Tontine is intended to be com- pleted by the 21st December, 1815, or sooner, if filled up, when the property shall be vested in the names of Four Trustees; and in case any Shareholder shall either neglect to appoint a nominee, or fail to pay the remainder of his or her subscription money, then his or her share or shares, with the deposit paid thereon, shall be forfeited. The Trustees shall always be four in number; and in case of a vacancy, the majority of the Shareholders shall have the power of tilling it up. Each Shareholder tu have one vote only. The Tontine to be managed by a Committee of Six Proprietors, to be appointed at a General Meeting. The Tontine promises great advantages, and presents more inducement for investment than any speculation of the kind which has yet been submitted to the public, for the following reasons, viz. The property has cost considerably over the sum of £ 9000, and is in excellent repair. The Trustees have received an offer of E440 a year for the whole property, for seven years, on a repairing lease, which after deducting Ground Rents and Insurance, would give an immediate dividend ot tour per cent., the Lessee binding himself to do all repairs. From the \ery advanced ages of the lives, it may reasonably be expected that in a very few years the surviving life will become sole possessor of the properly and this not only offers an immense gain to the Share- holders whose nominee shall be such last survivor, but- also veiy great advantages at each annual division of the rents, to those whose nominees may survive the average of the lives named. The annual dividend to such of the Shareholders nominees as shall survive, will increase in the same ratio as the lives decrease. The following may be enumerated as amongst a few of the advantages to be derived from the scheme. An immediate return of a large rate of interest for a small investment. An annual increasing income. T;ij-i-. it probability that the Shareholder will in the con e a very short period become the owner of the propc.-sy. To aged persons inserting their own lives, it offers a continually increasing and certain annuity. lo parties expecting property on the decease of aged lives, this investment offers for a small sum a certain return, till the dropping of the life or lives renders the income no longer an object to persons so situated; for instance, a party expecting Church preferment on the death of an incumbent, aged 74, or upwards, may by this scheme insure an increasing income, until the death of the incumbent puts him in possession of the living.

WES TON-SUPER-MAR*E, as a watering-place, is most delightfully situated on the Bristol Channel, and from the salubrity of its air, picturesque scenery, and manj natural local advantages, has for manv years beeu rising in public estimation. The Beach has long been pre-eminent for extent, being upwards of Two Miles in length, to which the tide ebbs and flolVs without water (each only Twenty .Miles distant), Bath (Thirty Miles), a 11.I to Gloucester an i Cheltenham, and the ease with which it is accessible by tneam cf the Gloucester, Great Western, and Bristol and Exeter Railways, along which trains pass seven times daily in each direction into the town of Weston-super-Mare, offers unusual advan- tages aId inducements for the erection of a Landing Pier and Slip, and the promise of a certain profitable return upon the capital invested, such as can be afforded at no other point in the Bristol Channel, and for this simple reason, there is no other place on the coast where any existing line of railroad touches, and it is obvious, therefore, that the outlay of capital which must necessa- rily be involved in the creation of those facilities which at present exist at Weston-super-Mare would propor- tionately reduce the return to the shareholder. If, therefore, it be necessary to expend a capital of £ 500,030 in order to obtain a railway and pier from another point in the Bristol Channel, at least all outlay of £ 45J,90i) of such capital would and must be devoted to the attain- ment of that object, namely, a railway communication (which the port of Weston-super-Mare already possesses.) The committee, therefore, would assert (an t defy con- tradiction) that no other po.t on the Bristol Channel can ever be in the same position as Weston-super-Mare without an outlay of capital to at least upwards of sixteen times the amount required at that place, and the result to the shareholders is too obvious to need further comment. The situation of the town also offers an immediate and direct point of commuuicatio 1 with Cardiff, the Taff Vale Railway, and the whole of South Wales, the distance being only Eight Miles across the Channel, without any obstruction and it is proposed to establish a Ste im Ferry betwe.-n thesa towns, which will give a more ready com- muuicatio.1 with South Wales and the whole of the West of England than can be obtained by any other means already established, or at present in contemplation. It is announced that a Branch Railway will be shortly laid (loton from the Bristol and Exeter Line to the central and eastern parts of the County of Somerset through the City of Wells, and extended direct to the Town of Poole, in Dorsetshire, so that West on-super-Mare will be con- nected with the mire distant Southern Counties, and the various important R'li'wajs in those localities. The City of Paris, by means of the Cherbourg Railway, will be within twelve hours' journey; and it is confidently believed that the opening of a direct communication with South Wales from Weston-super-Mare, and tlte facility to be afforded for landing passengers at ail states of the tide at the Latter plac:s, will much increast the traffic by this route, to which the now proposed South Wales Lines will be great auxiliaries. There are at present at Weston-super-Mare five excel- lent hotels, a bathing establishment equal to any in the kingdom, erected by the late Dr. Fox, of Brislington, and still held by his family, and 25,000 passengers were brought by the railway alone to the town in the course of the last year, exclusive of those arriving by other con- veyances; and there are at present upwards of 600 houses. The population in 1831 was 1,359, and is now between three and four thousand. The plan proposed is to unite the main land with the Island of Birnbeck, by means of a suspension bridge (upon the principle for which Mr. Dredge, of Bath, has obtained a patent), approaching the island ill a north- western direction, passing over it and extending the Pier into the Channel to a distance of about 300 yards from the extreme point of the island. The approach from the Channel will be at all times at a depth of water sufficient to ensure the safe-landing of passengers, being at the lowest point (as shown by the government survey) not less than 18 feet; and will give a safe, speedy, and cheap mode of communication to parties visiting or trading to the Western, Welsh, and Irish coasts. Tnere are at present twelre steamers passing Weston- super-Mare almost daily to Dublin, Cork, Waterford, Tenby, Hayle, Swansea, and Liverpool. Two steamers j from Cardiff, and four from Newport also regularly trade from Bristol, a portion of the passengers and traffic by all of which, as well as a share of the Severn trade, may be fairly calculated upon, when it is remembered that Weston-super-Mare will, by means of the Pier, be ap- proachable at all times, and that the present hours of sailing of the Irish and Welsh boats are regulated accord- ing to the state of the tide, by which the duration of the voyage is necessarily influenced, their arriving within the period their power could accomplish being unavailing unless the tide to Bristol serves to carry them up the river. The proposed Pier will therefore be particularly desir- able for persons coming from or going to Ireland or Wales. The present daily railway communications from the Town of Weston-super-Mare being four times to London, six times to Bristol and Bath, and eight times to Exeter; so that persons, by means of the proposed Pier, will often be at Paddingtou or Exeter before they could, by the present mode, reach Bristol, and alwajs be one or two trains in advance of any other present place of landing in the Bristol Channel, « The contemplated Pier will be so constructed as to afford a delightful promenade to visiters and inhabitants of Weston-super-Mare at all times, as well as the oppor- tunity of immediate resort to the sea and to the surround- ing villages, while it is confidently expected that it will give a considerable impetus to trade. With such advantages, and the toll proposed to be received from the many persons frequenting the Pier, passengers landing there, the charge on an extensive influx of goods to and from Ireland, and of coal, iron, and other commodities, from Wales, and other parts, and the prospective result arising from the surface of Building Land (upwards of an Acre), not required for the purposes of the Pier, on the Island of Birnbeck, the capitalist will ensure in ample return for investment. John Hugh Smyth Pigott, Esq., the Lord of the Manor, has most liberally pledged himself to give the land and approaches, and all the stone and wood from the hill adjoining, requisite for the undertaking, and to take 50 Shares, being the largest number which will be allotted to any one individual; and, as a considerable proportion of the proposed capital has been already applied for, the allotment will very shortly be made.

GEORGE ROB[N$is instructed to announce iVX for PUBLIC SALE, at the AUCTION MART, Loudon, on THURSDAY, Nov. L3, at Twelve o'clock, iu Three Lots, ,3 Tt E A very desirable FREEHOLD PROPERTY, pre- senting a most inviting opportunity for the investment of capital uoon so'ld security; INDEED, IT PRESENTS A REFRESHING CONTRAST, & IS ONE VERY MUCH AT VARIANCE WITH THE OVElt- WHELMING, A 1. THO UGH PLAUSIBLE I SCHEMES, WI'IH MICH THIS COUNTRY IS AT PRESENT At FLIC TED. It comprises THREE CAPITAL FREEHOLD FARMS, (ONE A DAIRY FARM), ALTOGETHER 330 ACRES of very superior LAND, clos £ to the MARKET-TOWNS OF USK & MONMOUTH, and let to highly-responsible tenants, at rents producing a°°UtFOUR HUNDRED POUNDS A-YEAR. These Estates have loag become a prominent feature in this vicinity. They are situate in the most beautiful county ill Engtand, and at the sama tune the most hide- pendent one, as it possesses within itself the necessary supplies for all human enjoyment. The rivers abound in salmon, trout, and other delicious nsh the woods and hills with every variety of game, not forgetting wood- cocks (now just coming ltl) and grouse and the verdant pastures feed the finest breed of cattle and sheep thus yielding, with the produce of the fertile tillage land, and the luxuriant orchards and gardens seen in every direction in this highly-favoured county, a plentiful supply for the gastronomic wants of the most fastidious gourmand. Then we have every variety of forest-trees—oak, elm, ash, &c., in profusion; and an equal variety of native minerals in the bosom of the earth, not forgetting those most useful ones of iron, tin, coal, and limestone, and a little mine of gold for the fortunate purchasers of these desirable estates. Again, in no county in England can the native scenery be surpassed in variety and loveliness —hill and dale, wood and water, all together form in every point of view an ensemble, in the happy arrange- ment of which Dame Nature may be truly said to have exhaus:> i her most consummate skill, and, if possible, almost to have surpassed herself. Indeed, the timid hand that directs this unpretending and imperfect panegyric feels at a loss how to describe in sufficiently glowing colours this charming locality and to those who desire duly to appreciate it a personal inspection becomes im- perative, and can alone suffice. To this end it may be added that railway communication will very shortly bring this county within five hours' ride of London thus ena- bling the opulent, but care-worn citizen, to resuscitate his constitution, and breathe a little fresh air, in the lux- uriant valleys and healthy uplands of Monmouthshire. THE LANGEVIEW FAII-11, 011' 2)2 ACRES, is of excellent arable, meadow, and pasture land, within a mile of the town of Usk, with a iarin-house, and all necessary buildings, in the occupation of Mrs. Jane Blower, at a clear yearly rent of £ 24 A. It is nearly ALL TITHE FREE, THE MESSUAGE, FARM, AND LANDS, CALLED RED HOUSE, together with tenements and lands belonging, called Pwll y pwks, CONTAINING ABOUT 73 ACRES, is situate in the parish of Llangattock-ribou-Avel, within five miles of Monmouth, in the occupation of Mr. John Rose, at the yeaily rent of £ 80: and lastly, The EXCELLENT DAIRY FARM called LANUSK, situate in the parish of Llanbadiiock, within one mile of the town of Usk, containing about 56 acres of land of the most useful description, chiefly meadow and pasture, or capable of being laid down into grass with great advan- tage, and possessing some prime orcharding, in the occu- pation of Mr. Thomas Paiker. The farms may be viewed on application to the tenants, and printed particulars had, 14 days prior to the sale, at the principal inns at Usk; Beaufort Arms, Monmouth; King's Head, Gloucester; White Lion, Bristol; of A. Waddington, Esq., Solicitor, at Usk; the Auction Mart; and at Mr, George Robius's Offices, Caveat Garden.

M M OUT II ,S ii 1 itE. BISHOP OF LLANDAFF'S VISITATION. ABERGAVENNY.—The Lord Bishop of Llandaff held his Visitation at Abergavenny on Wednesday week. A numerous body of the clergy were present, as well as many ladies and Gentlemen, and farmers of the neighbourhood. Among the clergy we observed— Rev. W. Powell, vicar of Abergavenny, Rev. H. Peake, curate of ditto, Rev. D. Rees, Aberystwith, Rev. J. Jones, Blaenafon, The Ven. Archdeacon Crawley, Rev. W. Price, vicar of Llanarth, Rev. P. J. Lewis, vicar of Cwmyoy, Rev. Thos. Evans, rector of Goytrey, Rev. W. Jones, curate of Llanellen, Rev. J. Evans, vicar of Llanover, Rev. Francis Lewis, Rev. — Davies, curate of Llanvair, Rev. — Williams, rector of LIanvihangeI, Rev. W. Price, Rev. J. Jen- kins, rector of Llanfoist, Rev. John Price, curate of Llanvihangel, Rev. J. Davies, Rev. J. Flemming, vicar of Llangwm. Rev, — Steele, rector of Llanfer- ryn, Rev. T. Morgan, Archdeacon Williams, Rev. G. W. Gabb, Rev. — Sheppard, Monkswood, Rev. T. Morgan, Oldcastle, Rev. L. Edwards, Rhymney, Rev. S. W. Gardener, Trosnant, Rav. E. Goddridge, Tredegar, Rev. T. Williams, Trinity Church, Rev. W. Evans, vicar of Usk, and Rev. John Griffiths, Nantyglo. The sermon was preached by Archdeacon Crawley, from the fourth chapter of John, v. 34, "Jesus saith unto them, my meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work." In his discourse, the Rev. preacher contended for the authority of those divine comissions to preach the word, and administer the sacraments; he very ably commented on the sacred duties connected with the church ministry, advised against useless controversies, and called on them to be examples to their flocks in their lives as well as doctrines, and dilated on the several pleasures that fall to his lot in this life who passes through it a blameless and effective minister of God, that saving souls from perdition he could share in the joy of angels who rejoice over the sinners' conversion, and at the close of his career he would receive the crown of glory as he "had fought the good fight." His Lordship then delivered his charge, of which we give the following slietch-Rev. friends, 1!1 In the interval between this and our former meeting, a lamentable event has occured; as it has long been a burthen toomy thoughts I throw it off thus early-I allude to the loss of our exemplary Chancellor, whom I am not now going to eulogize, for time would fail me to enumerate his many good qualities, and the services he performed to the church in this diocese; he was ever prompt, energetic, and affectionate in the performance of his duties, his memory will long re- main, for he was pure, upright, and disinterested. After some further eulogy on the deceased, his Lord- ship proceeded to remark upon and applaud the ini- tiation of Rural Deans, the success that had attended their labours within the last two years, and in conse- quence of them the supe; ior condition of churches both within and outside, and stated that their office would preveat the buildings erected for public wor- ship from relapsing into their former dilapidated con- dition. The restoration of all the churches was retarded by want of means, not of will-" want of means," he repeated with feelings of shame and sor- row. Is there really a want of means ? Property has its duties as well as rights; it is one of our first duties as Christians to provide for the spiritual wants of our poorer brethren. His Lordship declared wealth to he more abundant now than when the noblest structures were exalted to God's service in this country, and that wealth was every day increasing this was evidenced by the princely edifices daily erected by the rich, the comfortable dwellings of the middle classes, and the improved condition of farmers' dwellings and labourers' cottages, the House of God alone did not partake in the general prosperity. The laity should not leave the burthen of such erections and repairs to the clergy, whose means were totally inadequate to the purpose, nor should the absentees and distant proprietors allow those expenses to fall on the occupying tenants, whose natural means they ex- hausted. His lordship then alluded to the benefit of si^cftYTtfry1 .pyral ajjs in- Central Diocesan Board. All schools, however, should not have one standard; a different one was required for towns, villages, and country parishes, as he had already freely stated in his charge of 1839. His Lordship then alluded to the difference of lan- guage as a tortile source of dissent; he said all wise governors endeavoured to obviate the evil, flowing from such a cause, by encouraging that which was in the ascendancy, and trying to supersede the other. The civil duties of life-the administration of lav4 the benefit of society were best insured by the adoption of one medium of intercourse. He said the population of Wales were now in a transition state; the peculia- rities of the Welsh and English were gradually disap- pearing, and it was false patriotism to endeavour to resuscitate a language that was destined soon to dis- appear. The effect of different portions of the people of one parish speaking two languages were that the smaller portion looked with suspicion upon the other, and could not participate with them in their services, an 1 were exposed to the evils of dissent. His Lord- ship then alluded to the melancholy changes that of late years had taken place at Oxford, with the more sorrow, as thirty of the most active years of his life were spent there. He alluded to the yearning some of its members exhibited to re-unite with the corrupt branch of Rome and the dishonesty of those who assisted. They could subscribe the 39 articles with- out relinquishing Rome and the pusilanimity of those who had converted a delinquent of Heresy, but who drew back from punishing the converted Heretic. ( It was cheering that in this diocese there: was no ap- proach to this corruption. Notwithstanding all this, his lordship said, and the efforts schismatics make to weaken the church, it was still advancing, and sooner or later it should prevail. In general the clergy were more respected and more impressed by their duties— the evils of non-residence were decreasing—service was more frequently performed-more time devoted to preaching and in teaching, and a great improve- ment had taken place in their mode of life, dress, manners and conversation. His lordship cautioned the younger members of the ministry against singu- larity and loving change for the sake of change. Yet there was one defect in the church service—the omis- sion of the prayer for the church militant, which he wished to have remedied, and objections to the ser- vice being thus lengthened might be done away with by abridging other portions of the service. He also stated the minister might perform his duties in the pulpit and at the communion table without change of dress. His lordship again alluded to Oxford and the dishonesty of those of its members who were ordained in the church and continued enjoying its temporal ad- vantages, while they forin-,d a union with the cor- ruption of Rome, and were vindicating Rome's per- nicious doctrines. He alluded to the character of the early reformers in this country, their temper, pru- dence, and moderation that distinguished them from the continental reformers; our reformers retained all that was decent and solemn in outward form the others allowed their passions to be influenced by de- testation and disgust of the frauds of the Roman cor- ruption, and rejected all Apostolic rule, and that is the cause of all the sects that exist around us. They cannot call the latter the sheep of the same fold we do not affirm they have no share in Christ's redemp- tion, His lordship alluded to the error, that the uni- ty of the church required one head or governor on earth; such a doctrine had no support in scrip- ture, and was not entertained in the first five centuries. Scripture gave a hint that all the world was to be governed by one Bishop, the pon- tifical supremacy was a creature of man's creation. The overthrow of the papal supremacy led many to reject all church authority. In remarking on the latter, his lordship said, it was thought the Wesleyans were less actuated by party spirit than the rest of the dissenters; it might be so during the life of their founder, but it was different now; they form a dis- tinct body; they resemble the monastic orders, and seek to weaken the church and supersede it. To one gross instance he could bear witness himself. In a thinly populated place in this neighbourhood a church had been lately erected, and the Wesleyans began to erect a place of worship; he expostulated with them, but his remonstrance was wholly disregarded. He prayed that all wanderers would return into the true fold, and that the Lord would bless their labours and support their difficulties,

£ ntfltu|Cttcc. J WORCESTER AND MERTHYR-TYDVIL JUNCTION.—This \V 'lnse hoes which proposes to open South Wa.es to Worcestershire, Staffordshire, the manufacturing ils.nets, and indeed the entire north. It is to commence ce at the station 01 the Monmouth and Hereford and Wor- I ■^a,e8,J,ncti0B at Proceeding tarough a rich agricultural district, now devoid of railway r iST £ °n: to Ahergavenny, and from thence bv Llanelly, Natryg o, Tredegar, Ebbw-vale, Rtimney, and l>'VUffv *1 « M ,VrVI'' at W'llc'1 place it will join Lie Taft ale Railway. The distance will not exceed 40 mileF. WELSH SOUTH MIDLAND, OR CHEPSTOW, FOREST OF DEAV, AND GLOUCESTER GRAND JDNCTIOJC—The pro- moters of this line state that « by means of the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction, and the Bir- mingham and Gloucester railway, it will open Birmingham as a market for the manufactured iron of South Wales, from which it has been in a measure excluded, from the difficult and expensive transit by the river Severn and ca- na.s & that it "will join the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction railway at Chepstow, and extend westward to Piercefield, the far-famed Windcliff and Tiu- tern Abbey, to the towns of Usk and Pontypool, and over the centre of the great iron and coal field of Sooth Wales, passing near to and through the midst of the extensive iron works and collieries of Monmouthshire and Glamor- ganshire, to join the Aberdare branch of the Tatf Vale riV wiliell connects Merthyr-Tydvil and Aberdare with Cardilt, thus forming a much more direct and almost straight line-by m-ans of the railways already made and projected-between those immensely populous districts and th" centre of the kingdom and London." THE GREAT WELSH JUNCTION.—This scheme proposes to connect North and South Wale?, and to give to the Principality, by means of briscL Xjt.iaffliMcation with the English border counties. TheHtietakes"adoubte departure from Bangor and Port Dynllaen. It embraces in the main course of line (amongst other towns, too nume- rous to be mentioned here) Carnarvon, Harlech, and Dol- gelly. Passing between Dinas, Mowdy, aod Pennant, it traverses Welshpool to Shrewsbury; leaving Shrewsbury, it skirts Colebrook Dale and the iron districts, and includes Ludlow, Leominster, Hereford, Ross, Monmouth, Mer- thyr- Iydvil, Neath, Swansea, and Carmarthen, and finds its southern terminus at Pembroke." MONMOUTIISUIRE.—Tills line is second in importance to no line of its extent of any of those which as yet have been projected. It offers more than ordinary inducements to the capitalist, and we have no doubt that it will be car- ried forward to successful completion. On an examination of the prospectus, it will be found to be under the direction of powerful and wealthy parties, who will not he found ten- dering their influence to any project not founded in good faith. The company is one that is sure to receive the utmost consileration of the public, since the line proposed is such as to justify the highest expectations.— Raihcay Tel-graph. In connexion with the subject of railways, it may be mentioned, upon good authority, that some" of the Man- chester houses are taking effectual means to stop the incli- nation of retail traders to speculate in railway projects. The representa ives of the Manchester manufacturers have, it is said, in many instances received instructions, when accounts over-due are not paid by their customers, to inquire whether the debtor is a holder of shares in pro- jected lines of railway; and if so, further instructions are given that the account must b:, closed. This course, it is urg.-d, is rendered necessary by the fact that in many in- stances the payment of the wholesale tradesmen's accounts is postponed in order to enable the shopkeeper to meet his railway caiis. This, in fact, is nothing less than specula- ting with the creditor's capital. — Tirms. Reports are iu circulation that a great combination of interests amongst the large existing trunk lines of both gauges is likely to take place-an alliance defensive and offensive, for next session. Mr. Bruuel, who has been in Italy for some time, re- turned last week to England. Mr. Saunders, who has also been with the great engineer abroad, returned a week or two before. The Great Western Company are now planning their campaign for 1846. The allotment of shares ia the Manchester and South- ampton Railway has given general satisfaction. The shares are at a high premium. The Company has, we be- lieve, purchased the Audover caual. During the lait few days, engineers have been employed in surveying, taking levels, &c. for a proposed brauch line of railway from the Bristol and Gloucester line, near Coal- pit heath, through the S waiaswick valley, to some point of the iatended Kennet and Avon Railway, so as to form a communication between that line and Bristol, independent of the Great Western line. Mr. Hudson, M.P., takes an active interest in the proposed branch. RAILWAY CARRIAGE BUILDING CoMPASY.—ThIacom- pany, whose objects are of so peifecdy legitimate a nature, and the promoters of which we know to be men of station in society, is, we are happy to learn, progressing most when so much capital is afloat tor investment, ana so tuhoy schemes of (to say the least) a very uncertain character brought before the public, projects, like this, evidently of it bonrtfide nature, and which, with any thing like manaae- ment, must return a handsome dividend, will find wealthy supporters. The enormous number ol railway carriages which mast uituerto be required, and the almost certainty that, on the completion of a competent establish- ment, railway companies will give up a brauch of their present business, alike irksome and unprofitable, renders it probable that the Railway CarrFlge Company will stand A 1 in the list ot public investments.—Mininy Journal. GREAT WELSH CENTRAL RAILWAY.—The committee conlinue daily to receive from their engineers and survey- ors the most encouraging communications. It appears that there will scarcely be a deviation from the direct course, nor any necessity for tunnels, that no part of the line will pass through parks or pleasure grounds; that very little expense wiil be incurred iu the purchase of land, and that the undertaking wit! possess every advantage which can possibly result Irom a line of country fonnd on examination to he peculiarly adapted for the formation of a railway. It will further be satisfactory to the shareholders, whether resident in the principality or in England, to learn, that every arrangement tor carrying out the undertaking is in a state of perfect forwardness, and tb,'re exists not a shadow of doubt that every preliminary step required by statute or Standing Order, will be takeu in due time, so as that the Company shall obtain their bill at the earliest possible period of the next session.—Ibid. Tiie passengers in a train on tile Sheffield and Manches- ter Railway were exposed to great danger the other night, by a cow having strayed upon the line. The engine ran over the animal, nearly cuttiug it in two; and the train was forced off the iioe. Fortunately, except a guard, who was bruised, every one escaped with a fright, and a delay of some hours in the cold an l dark. A labourer has been killed on the Brandling Junction Railway, through his own recklessness: a train had star- ted, and he attempted to jump on to a carriage while it was in motion lie fell, and the wheels passed over both his thighs. Two labourers on the North-eastern Counties Railway had a dispute, and they resolved to have a fight for stakes, at Saffron Walden. On the following day they met: one wanted to withdraw from the fight; but the other, John WooJIey, persisted in proceeding. After fightiug for half an hour, Woodley fell down dead. On a poit mortem examination, it was found that the man had a disease of the heant; atil a coroner's jury returned a verdict of Natural death, accelerated by excitement in fighting." .a&; THJE REVENUE.
