Up to the 2 ud we had alternately light variable winds and calms. The evenings were remarkably line, and were passed by us righuoyouoly singing, dancing, and music were the 0rder 0f tlie (lt3,. Otir exeellent captain appeared de- Ilkigdhitteed d with the happilless that pervaded all his passengers, and his kind manner to one and all will be long reinem- bered by us with deep and heartfelt gratitude. Dr. rmVl l T (our Surgeou Supcrintendent) although some- what iimnv.a;lided, did everything possible to promote harmony and good feeling amongst us, and usually opened our balls with one of the ladies, but whether she located in the cahin or steerage he did not appear one jot parti- cular, provided the dance was set going. Dming the hot weather he had baths erected, and the demand for sea- water every morning was immense. Some indulged in the shower bath others dipped themselves, or were dip- ped in the tubs, but either way the luxury was certainly very great, and was so fully appreciated, that there were but few on board who did not avail themselves of it. The heat was at times most oppressive, and our costumes be- came singularly light and picturesque yet, with it all, we managed, by some kind of diversion or other, to survive it, and even to enjoy ourselves highly. 0il file 31.st we fell in with the r;"1/¡ie from Bally's Straits and bound fur Rotterdam. She hove to, and we sent oil letters to our anxious friends at home for whose sakes it was that the Eugenic had such sincere and hearty wishes for her safe and speedy run. Soon after passing the line (which we did on April 2, in longitude 2: west) we hooked two sharks, within a couple of hours of each other; one measured IOJ feet, and the other upwards of seven feet. They were unanimously condemned as hideous monsters, and the sailors did not forget their antipathy to sea-lawyers, in the indignity with which they treated them after heing hoisted upon deck. During the after- noon we descried a strange looking object floating very easily to leeward a boat put off, and a large flat fish, cal eda Squid, ahout four feet long by nearly three feet broad, was shipped, but not before it was broken un SLVelal P'eces, irom its blubber-like consistence gii,iiig way under the hands. From April the 6th we had moderate trade winds, but somewhat variable in their duration, often ceasing altogether, when our patience was sorely tried by the horrible calms. The evenings became cooler, and arrangements were made for getting up a fancy dress ball, when such stores of finery and incon- gruous articles were brought to light, and pressed into use for the occasion, that the unfortunate bachelors on board were utterly bewildered. Decidedlv they saw more of the mysteries of a hdy's wardrobe then than was ever dreamt of in their philosophy previously. The ladies' fingers were for !lIvh ac',veI7 employed with scissors and needles and thread for three or four days, and on the 9th the ball came on The captain very kindly had the poop covered in, and decorated with flags of every colour of the rainbow. A transparency formed the central orna- ment, although the design was somewhat obscure: but there was no mistaking the union jack which floated over and around it. The revellers assembled at seven o'clock, and where all the characters were well chosen, and ably maintained, it may be invidious to attempt any individual descnptions. Dancm? was kept up with great spirit until ftpen o'clock, when a cold supper was served upon the poop, with as much negus as heart could desire. A bowl of punch was afterwards concocted; and after drinking the healths of our noble captain and others, not forgetting our absent friends, we separated for the night, highly de- lighted with the evenings anmsementand flllly impressed with the knowledge that" where there's a will there's a way" to effect anything, even on shipboard No bad conviction for intending colonists, by the way On April lath we escaped from the tropics, and, as we heartily trusted, from the calms, and looked forward hopefully for some cooler breezes. We passed the Cane on the 2nd of May, at Wi) miles south, off' which our de- sire for a cool breeze was gratified with a vengeance. A very severe gale set in from the north-west, with a cur- rent against us, which caused the sea to rise mountains high-litera ly such; and truly it was a sublime, although a territic sight for a landsman to behold. Our vessel rode along like a duck, and scudded before the wind under double-reefed topsails. Some heavy seas struck her, and caused her to tremble again fore and aft, whilst many a pretty, but involnntary scream emanated from the women, who thought we were going forthwith to Davy Jones's locker." A glorious war took place among the steward's crockery, and, for the first time in our lives, we saw that portion of the nursery rhyme come to pass which states t)tzit the dish ran after the spoon," for no sooner were the plates and dishes set upon the table than they (spoons and all) started instantcr, and" took" (in sportiii" phraseology) the guards set across the table for their pre- servation in gallant style; no thorough-bred steeple- chasers could have cleared then better. We were only too thankfnl to be able to procure some food in pic-nic fashion, seated upon the deck. The gale itself lasted about twelve hours, but it was a day and a half hefore we had much more canvas out. On the fith May the number of our passengers was in- creased by a little lady, who made her appearance one line afternoon and was baptised by the doctor, a week or two afterwards, by the name of Elizabeth Steadfast. Our passage from the Cape was made express indeed we had half a galc hlowing nearly the whole time from south-west to north-west. One day we accomplished 2H5 miles, and 200, 210, and 220 miles on three consecutive days. [n- deed, 200 miles we deemed an ordinary day's work. We were abreast ot an Dienien s Laud on June), at about eighty-live miles south,and on the 7th, at three p.m., we made Kniht's Island, and thc cry of "Land a-head" gave palpable evidence that none of us were asleep. All hands were on deck in a few seconds, and a person must be at sea for some three or four months ere he can fully understand the delight with which" the Snares" were hailed. More canvas was now shaken out, and the cap- tain directed his course due east, to avoid"the Traps" and Stewart's Island." Clear of these, our course was almost due north, an,1 on the Hth, at ten a,1))" we first descried" Banks' Peninsula," looming in the distance. We stood directly for it, and onr run up the east coast of Tavai I'oennammoo," ws made in a manner th 8tUUjM fnst only could accomplish. Daylight waned, but the moon which shone out most gloriously to welcome lis as it were, to our new homes, gave us a delightful dew of the coast, and in a measure compensated for a more dis- tinct view we should have had by daylight. 111 truth it was a magnificent and lovely night; and, had we liot been colonists we might probably have persuaded ourselves that we were intensely romantic. At midnight we cast anchor oil the mouth of Victoria harbour, and the next morning worked our way up abreast of Lyttelton, where we learnt that the Duke ':1' hrc.ute lian cast anchor eight hours before us. Our voyage was made in 1111 days, reckoning from the day we weighed anchor otl Oravesend to casting it again in Victoria hnrhonr, and we flatter our- selves tht our passag has, been the most raj,id of any vessel chartered by the Canterbury Association.

PLAYING THE GAME OF THE ENEMY.—MORE I N1A1THFI LNE8S WITHIN THE CHURCH. To the Editor of the North IKales Chronicle. ?- -1 Sir,—As I perceive that the Rev. John urimth, ot Aber- dare, has been publishing in the newspapers of the Princi- pality, all attack upon the Editor of the Cymro, evidently with a desire to do misddef rather than to eli'ect reform, and as your contemporary of Carnarvon has politically taken the matter up to please the Dissenters and that portion of the Church which leans to Dissent, I have to request that you will give insertion to the following extracts from the Cardiff and Merthyr Guardian, in order that the question may be thoroughly understood in this part of the country, and that a one-sided view of the question Jlla not be suffered to pre- vail uncorrected. Yours, &e., A TRUE CHURCHMAN. THE "CYMIlo" NKWSPAfKR. To the Editor of the Cardiff ami Merthyr Guardian. Sir, —Some of your Ieaders are, I know, interested in the "Cymro" Welsh Newspaper. Wiil JOu, therefore, oblige me by inserting in your next number the letter I havc written to the Editor of that paper ? Your obedient servant, Vicarage, Aberdaro. JOHN CIITINITII. To the Editor of the Cymro," Oct. 27th, Yicaragc, Aberdare. Sir,—In the last number of the "Cpnro" you invited su ,,o the Welsh ClergJ as were not satisfied with the principles of Jour paper to state their objections at large, and )-on pro inised a faithful insertion to erery word written. Acting oil that promise, and considering the great efforts that have been made, no less in South Wales thall ill North Wales, to give the" Cymro" a standing point, as the recog- nized organ of the Welsh Church, 1 come forward, though reluctantly, yet as a matter of duty, to state what seems to me, and to many others of my brethren, as highly objectionable in the Cymro". Had the" Cymro" been an ordinary paper established to gain a standing point in an ordinary way, I for one, would never have taken the tronble to write this letter, But, as the Dean of llangor, in a circular of some length, and written with a great deal of energy, addressed us all some twelve months ago, calling upou us as a matter of duty to circulate among our parishioners your papcr. and. as a great meeting was held at Bangor, presided over by the Hon. Col. Douglas Pennant, M.P., and supported by a largc Humler of the dignitaries ami the gentry of North Wales—and as the late Editor, had he lived, contemplated a similar meetin" in South Wales, to be presided over by the Hon. Col. Trevor, M.P.i—but above all, as the "Cymro" assumes to be the recog- nized voice of the Church in Wales, I do certainly think it no less an act of justice to those gentr)" WI10 have so interested themselves, and who know nothing of the Welsh language, and consequently nothing of the principles of a Welsh paper, than I consider it an act of duty to the Welsh Church for some one to come forwaní and state plainly, that as long as t;e Cymro'- is conducted on the principles it is now based, so long is it not only unworthy of the support of the Wel:li gentry and clergy but, moreover, it is positively injurious to the best interests of the Church in Wales, inasmuch as it does not represent, happily, the feeling, the doctrine, or the temper of the Welsh Church. Yet it assumes all this, backed with authority. When the "Cymro" was first started, it took up a motto which was highly creditable to it, and which promised a degree of moderation, without which every man who knows the posi- tion of the Welsh Chinch must admit she can ,ev,, aft.i. to, 1;1 :;si:i:I;i¡ll:l'h'l;lCsilS:tI'e V I sons, notwithstanding many adverse circumstances, firmly believe to be her's yet. After the issue, however, of a few numbers, the tone of the paper was sadly and mischievously at variance with the note of the motto. Each number as it appeared took a higher and a higher Hiirht, until at length it reached the loftiest and the most aerial realms of l'useyism. There is no man who does not know, that this at any rate is least of all the characteristic of the Welsh Church. It may I flourish a little in the dignitarian neighbourhood of B-. But wherever else it has been attempted, it has been in each case a miserable and a complete failure. The friends and supporters of the paper now saw that the time had come to change the Editorship and my late lamented friend, Mr. John James, succeeded to the office. Happening to be in London at the time, 1 had several inter- views with him, and a correspondence afterwards respecting the conduct of the paper. I strongly urged him to crush at once the high-tone it had assumed, and to abandon as much as possible controversy of every description, and to give us a paper that would really enlighten and not exasperate the Welsh people. For a time there was a manifest improve- ment in every department of the paper-tl", mediaeval letters which formed the title-sinee reassumed by yourself-were ab uptly and effectually swept away, together with several other characteristics indicative of a high tone in ecclesiology. But former influence in the neighbourhood of B was too strong for the Editor, however well inlentioned. What did not appear, as heretofore in the leading article, found its way with all its offensivenese, in the first or second page under the flimsy drapery of a correspondence contributed by an Aelod o'r Eglivys," or some such irresponsible title. Of the wdiole of these effusions I do not hesitate to say, that a more v-ipid, a more common-place—and what is of greater im p ortance, a more inaccurate representation of the Welsh Church does not exist. Fortunately for UR, the Church in Wales cannot have a more spurious representative than is em- bodied in this man's theology. Yet, you, Mr. Editor, pro- fessedly patronized, as you would have us believe you are, by the Welsh gentry and dignitaries of the Welsh Church, to disseminate among the Welsh people corrcct notions of the Church in Wales, give to these crudities the most prominent place in your paper, and the largest type in your office. He has already written some twenty letters in reply to some nr. Jolin rmttips, Latvinistic preacher,—each letter usually two columns in length. Air. John Phillips may be a great man in the neighbourhood of Bangor, and he may have delivered a lecture, which has roused, if not alarmed the torpidity of the Ecclesiastics in that neighbourhood. But the Cymro professes to take under its wings the fostering care of the entile Welsh Church. We therefore in the South, and I have no doubt the brethren in the East and in the West, care little for the antics and the vagaries of this Mr. John Phillips, formidable a s are-crow as lie evidently seems to be to the neighbourhood of llangor. Besides, let me give a word of advice to your "Aelod o'r Eglwys," and to "Cadvan," and the other Theologians of the "Cymro." If they would have the Welsh Church gain a place in the hearts and rivet the affections of the people, they may rest assured of the fact, that this desirable end is not to be attained by allaekilig Dissenters, by writing vapid and poleinical letters, or by assuming for the Welsh Church a tone, i/liberal, Illle/writable, and unehristan. Dissenters in these antagonistic days have enough to do to keep their own house in order. The indications are many, and frequent, that it is anything but plain sailing with them. The camp seems to be every where breaking up. Matters are not innch better with ourselves. The Arch enemy is every- where busy, Our hands are full. Let us, therefore, in the name of Christianity, leave one another alone, and follow out, in our own way, our own views to ameliorate the people and ourselves. Disenters and Churchmen, each of us profess to have for our. object the glory of God and the welfare of our fellow-men. This can least of all be obtained by wraugling with one another, calling hard names, and imputing false motives. The work is before us, anil plenty of it, and it is to be done only with zeal, in the spirit of charity and of love. Thus only can we everbring down His blessing on the people, and the light of His countenance on ourselves. I am well aware it is argued very strongly, that nothing will succeed in Wales unless it is polemical. That this is in a great measure the character of the people no one will deny. Nothing delights them so much as hearing or reading con- troversy, and if it be on religion, so mnch is it the more de- lightful. But, Sir, your object is to cltalige the character of the people, to improve it. and give it a higher tone. M e are anxious to make them what their fathers were before them- a people eminently religious. Unfortunately now, they can be said only to live on the reputation of their fathers. Except as a highly intellectual exercise, religion, in all its practical elfects, is but partially cultivated among them in the mass. Whatever, therefore, may be their taste, nothing surely can be so much out of place in a paper professedly issued to im- prove that taste, than to foster its worst kind by becoming highly polemical. I have now done, having written only because you speci- ally invited me and others. I have chosen the English lan- guage to convey my sentiments,-first, because your invitation to the clergy was written in that language and secondly, because my object is not to address the readers so much as the supporters of the Cymro," who, I am persuaded cannot be aware, for reasons stated above, of the matter which usually tills its columns. Under happier auspices nothing would 'give me greater pleasure than to forward the interests of the Cymro" in every way, as I feel as strongly as the Dean of Bangor feels, that a well conducted paper in Welsh would be of great service in ameliorating the condition of the people. At present they have nothing of the kind, either monthly, weekly, or fortnightly. I think I may say, without exception, there is not one published by Churchmenov J)isseuters, which has not all the virulence and the worst venom of sectarianism breathing through every page. And I need not say to an man of enlightened views, what a serious thing this is to the best interests of a people. ° The/?/;fMyfMu,,es not come under "hat is meant by a newspaper. ll'it bf-,).e by I am, 3.u?- obedient senau!.

This is the great subject to which the t £ Cymro" is endeavouring to do justice; but its recent elucidation of the subject has induced a few Clergymen to give up the Cymro" and to say that they will discourage its cifculalioll amollg their friends. As men of truth, the conductors do not hesitate to state this fact publicly, and to abide by public opinion as to the fairness of the proposition here submitted, namely ;-That those of the Clergy who are thus disposed should write for the columns of the" Cymro'^forthey are learned and appointed Guardians of the Iruth and the Church ill the country) a clear demonstra- tion of what they have found in the Editorial columns of the "Cnuro" contrary to the word of God and to reason. Such a demonstration shall be submitted in our columns to the test of fair and logical criticism, and if found to bear this we shall give up the disputed point to the objector, and square the "Cymro'' so far, according to his views. Nothing can be fairer, and in our earnest endeavour to serve the Truth and the Truth alone we expect it from those who disapprove of our sentiments from distinct reasons and noffrom prejuùice." I shall pass by the seeming unfairness of arrayin" the already-strong prejudices existing against the Cymro/' by choosing an extraordinary field to do the battle in and could I suppose my countrymen generally to be as void of discern- ment as the Vicar of Ahenlare appears to calculate upon, there mig-ht be reason for apprehension that his violent, unjust, and declamatory attack would have some elled; but I have not formed so low an estimate of them, and therefore appeal to their wisdom rather than to their ignorance and I prcjudiees. The mob popularity gained, by thus attacking a Church paper, from Dissenters and Infidels, will be considerably modified by the estimation in which the gun" and the good must hold the man who, when invited to discuss principles, gives us invective ;—when asked to furnish reasons, charges his brother Clergymen with premeditated deceit;—and when called upon to point out what is erroneous in the Cymro," contents himself with bringing against it the va-'ue charge of "Puseyism," If the original principles of the Gymro" have hr-en de- parted from, nothing is easier than to provc it; they were laid down distinctly in the first number, both in Welsh an(1 English; and I defy the nev. John Griffith or any one else to prove that the editorship has been conducted in the slight- est degree at variance with those principles. It is very easy to raise a popular damour against sound opinions which militate against one's own heterodoxy; and at the present time no one knows better than the Vicar of Aberdare the potency of the misnomer Puscyile, if it can be cunningly affixed to any body of men, to influence those who are already prejudiced, or who would rather take up a popular cry than trouble themselves by fair investigation. The Vicar chooses to say that the promoters of the "Cymro," and the editor, have deceived those men of fortune, as he says, who were induced to encourage the publication. With- out troubling myself to correct the peculiar notions of Mr. Griffith about men of fortune and their encouragement, I flatly deny that the" Cymro" has ever spoken any other sen- timents than those sanctioned by the highest authorities in the Church. The principles of the tC Cpnro" are those held by the most learned, most discreet, most charitable, and most pious of living Bishops, as set forth in sermons, charges, and other publications; and however Mr. Griffith may affect to sneer at the diguitarian neighbourhood of (Bangorl), I can inform him that we have learnt t,) look up to the dignitaries of our Apostolic Church with reverence, and to receive their teaching with humble submission. The remarksofthe Vicar upon the writings of correspondents are in character with those upon the editorial articles. They are mere assertions, sans proof; and when he insinuates that calling hard names and imputing false motives^ is the fashion in the" Cymro," he must have drawn largely upon his imagination, I can assure him, in a friendly way, without any loss of good temper, that he is simply mistaken. Mr, Griffith cannot have read the" Cymro" with any degree of attention, or else he would not charge it with attacking Dissenters. Dissent, as a system set up by man, in opposi- tion to the Church established by Christ and his Apostles, it has attacked and exposed, and I trust will continue to do so but no individuals have a right to complain, for no indi- viduals have been attacked. With every good feeling in re- turn for good advice, we of the Cymro" will act on the defensive, and no one shall attack the Church with impunity. I had intended to pass over the reflection cast upon my- self, when he sap, The friends and supporters of the paper now saw that the time had come to change the editorship but several of those who know the untruth of this assertion, have urged me to contradict it, I do so by saying that it is the first hint I ever heard of want of confidence. The captious objections, to mediaeval letters," large type/'&c., are too childish to require any comment; they oniy show how hard up my friend the Vicar was for matter to fill his indictment and I shall close my letter by repeating th* challenge contained in the above extract, perfectly con- fident that the" Cpnro" has been, and is, the fairest and most powerful exponent of Church principles that ever ap- peared in the Welsh language. I remain, Sir, yours respectfully, EDITOR OF THE TL CYMRO. P.S.—I can afford to treat Mr. Griffith very mildly but it might do him good to see what a brother Clergyman say- of his letter, in a note appended to a private letter to me: an I do not think he will consider me guilty ofa breach of c fidence if I send the original for your satisfaction. With difficulty I have read Nlr. G.'s letter and a more wordy, empty, imaginative, unsubstantial, alfair I have never read. What does he find fault with Why does he not spe- cify ? Why did he not oppose the letters he objected to, and convince the gainsayers 1 His writing is ad captandum, and nothing else; and he knows that the prejudices of (hose who, not having read, take things for granted, are with him. There is not one principle stated, I believe, in the" Cpnro" which any one of our Bishops will venture to oppose,—and most of them agree with them. Who, then, is this manof Aberdare V THE IlEV.

In the first place, I would call attention to the fact that Mr. Griffiths deals only in generalities, and that he carefully avoids the real point at issue between himself and the con- ductors of the" Cymro," It appears that some two or three clergymen have lately complained in writing to the Editor of the tone of his paper, and, although they did not specify the particular views which they considered erroneous, yet they threatened, ualess a change took place, that they would withdraw their support. This the Editor considered very unreasonable and as he was anxious to act fairly ami honestly towards all parties, he was induced to publish the following notice in English. [See this notice in Mr. If. Jlïlliams's letter ahovc.\ Now, this is the notice which has called forth Mr. Grif- nths letter and 1 leave it to any candid man to judge whether he meets the case or not. Does he not rashly do the very thing which the conductors of the paper called upon the remonstrants not to do It appears that the letters of" Aelod o'r Eglwys" are particularly offensive to him. It should be borne in mind that those letters are written in defence of the Church against a virulent attack made upon it by a popular Dissenting minister in a lecture, which has been published and circulated extensively in most paits of the Principality. They embrace almost all the subjects in controversy between the Church and Dissent; and the endeavour of the writer is to expose the futility of the Dissenters' objections, and to furnish to the Welsh reader a faithful exposition of the doc- trines of the Church, in accordance with the plain teaching of her Prayer Book. Now, Nir. Griffith asserts that" a more inaccurate representation of the Welsh Church does not exist" than is contained in the letters of this writer. Since he has made such an assertion, it may be presumed that he is prepared to prove it but as no proof, however, has as yet appeared, and as I am one of those who conscientiously be- lieve in the truth of every statement contained in those letters, I now call upon him either to withdraw his charge, or else to specify in what particulars the views of that writer are at variance with the authorised teaching of the English Church, Let him do this, and 1 am prepared to meet him, which I trust I shall do with all charity and with all kind- ness of feeling. Again, I must say that his charge against the general con- duct of the paper is extremely unfair. How does the matter stand ? He asserts that the Cymro," as at present conducted, is unworthy of the support of the Welsh clergy and geiiti-i not because its principles are proved to be at variance with those of the Prayer Book, but because he, that is, the Vicar of Aberdare, disapproves of them. The" Cymro" must be dropped, because a certain Vicar in South Wales, whose very name was hitherto unknown to the great majority of its sup- porters, and whose views of orthodoxy are studiously kept in the back ground, fulminates his anathema against it. The Clergy who encourage the Cymro" are all wrong, and to be set aside, and Mr. J. Griffith alone is worthy the respect and confidence of the public. This is the effect intended to be produced by Mr. Griffith's letter and I would suggest to him the consideration whether such an assumption as this i. consistent with Christian charity. In conclusion, I must remind Mr. Griffith that his published letter, if he means to maintain a character for honestv of purpose and consistency of conduct, imposes upon him a task from which he can make no escape. In the first place, he has to point out the particular passages in the letters of Aelod o'r Eglwys" which contain unsound doctrine. In tJC rrext place, hc must favour the public with a full exposi- tion of his own views on the subjects in respect of which that writer ei-i-F and, lastly, he must show that his own views are in accordance with the "uthodse<l t,t,(.Ilili? I)ftil,? When he performs this task, he may then reasonably expect to be hstcncd to; but if he docs not, he must not be sur- prised if the < Cymro and the public go on much in the same way as they did before the appearance of his letter. With many thauks for your kindness, Mr. Editor. I remain I as before, as befoi-e, ONE OF THE WRITERS IN THE CYMRO. Nov. 12, 1851.

Their operation will be to pass the hi,h tratli" L,vcr the Chester and Holyhead line, and ever the London at,d North Western, not only to London, but to Ijirmin^han), to .Manchester, to Leeds, Huddersfield, Leamington, to Oxford, 1>(". They also enable passengers to go from Dublin to Liver- pool, ?ia the Chester and Holyhead line and although the i?lanc:e is greater, yet the time of the journey and the sea passage are materially in favour of the Chester and Holy- ead rout", while the fare is about the same. A pa,sengcr from Dublin to Liverpool taking the more direct route of steaming all the way by water to Liverpool, encounters a water passage of from 11 to l.> hours,* while by the Chester and Holyhead he arrives at Holyhead after only a 4J hours sea passage, and is in Liverpool (including the sea passage of 4)j hours) in less time, namely in !U hours. The double journey ticket issued by the Chester and Holyhead Kailway Company from Vull in to Liverpool is equal to two single lares by the boats from Dublin to Liverpool direct. But, if the tare of the Holyhead route, instead of being nearly the same, were more, it is probable that the materially shorter sea passage, and somewhat shorter total duration of journey, would in time give the advantage to it. Sea passage is what nine-tenths of passengers have, for reasons well known, the strongest inclination to shorten. We need not particularise every place to which the traffic arrangements with the loudeen companies named enable C,Stl, and Holyhead to despatch p tssengers. It is sufficient to mention some of the principal, besides those already stated. By the Midland Company's lines passengers can reach Bristol, Worcester, and Clle:tenhul11, By the Manchester, Shellield, and Lincolnshire they can go to Hull, vl'llllshy, Lincoln, and Sheffield. The Cheshire Junction line now carries them part of the way to Manchester; but by and bye this Coupany will afford even a more direct run to Manchester. The Cheshire Junction line between \VaITint.malld Altringham, shorten- ing the JiSUHICC from llolyhea 1 to Manchester, about 3 or 4 miles, is in course of construction by Mr. 15rassev (the contractor,) and wiii be opened in abollt 13 months" time. At this moment the Cheshire Junction Company have run- ning-over powers from 'Warrington, where their line now terminates, to Manchester—a section of line which is the property of the Loudon and North Western Company. Passengers will then be conveyed from Manchester to Dub- lin by theCheshire Junction and the Chester and Holyhead Railways, the steallt-lwals aud the Dublin and Kingstown line even in ItsS time than at present, which is nine hours, while the shortest passage between Dublin and Manchester via Liverpool is llij hours. The through-booking arrangements made with the several important Companies named, comprehend more than a mere facilitv of commnnication with Ireland. It is not euough merely to smooth the way. To bring the traffic on to the Chester and Holyhead line, and to develope the traffic to that extent which it is believed the Irish traffic is capable of being developed, the public wants as regards the Tate of fare to be charged, ?ust be met. In this most im- portant respect the other Companies received the advances ef the Chester and Holyhead with consideration and favour, —They have agreed upon prices. This we understand was not done without a good deal of thought an,l keen regard to circumstances. The problem was to tind out a rate of charge which would induce the greatest number of persons to travel and produce to the CUl11lnnies the largest amount of profit. The solution of this problem has been accomplished by adopting a principle of charge which varies somewhat according to the distance the passenger travels. This is but reasonable, and for it we have good precedent in the Ameri- can lines. In America one reason (well-known) that en- ables the railways of that country to carry so cheaply, and to extract so large a profit from their traffic, is that their passengers average greater distances in their trips, than English passengers. A Company can afford to carry a pas- senger travelling 10(1 miles at a less charge per mile than a passenger travelling only 10 miles. Numbers also enter into the question of fare-The object of the Chester and Holyhead is to encourage and increase the long Irish traffic over their line and the other Companies' lines working in unison with them. The great, st amount of Irish traffic and about the longest, is with Lmdon. London, therefore, has a somowhat greater advantage in the fare charged than other places. A person can come from Dublin to London, and go back again, tranlling first class for £ -1 10s.—This is at the rate of t:2 .;S, (irstc,ass express, from Dublin to London, miles by railway and stei:n-boat, or at the rate of about l j'd per mile. Put a first class p'ssenger caunut go only from Dublin to London for this charge lie must book him- self (i. e. pay down i.1 IDs) to e,, there and back in that case the Companies are very happy to carry him ill their first class carriages at the rue id 1 jd per mile, for then they have him as a passenger travelling not less than (iC(l miles, For the single journey to London th¡y charge him 15s more, the fare being CL hen he takes a double journey ticket they give liiui. as they can well ail'ord to do, a fortnight's grace. The £,1 IUs ticket allows him to be in London for a fortnight, at any time within whidl it carries him back. The secoml class return tickets to Dublin is 00s or at the rate per mile of about Id 1-ltKh. There stems to be a general belief abroad that this ar- rangement is only temporary. We ourselves have met with several Irish gentlemen having ii 1 los return tickets, who believed it wi a ¡"JlJIlS due to the Exhibition times, and, theiefore, would not be permanent. When we assured them that they were labouring under a mistake, and informed them that the al'1'an,el!iellts w, e inti tuled to 1.«' permanent, there were highly delighted t End that they would be en- abled at any tuture time tll ta'~e a trip to London so easily, conveniently, ami cheaply. Hitherto a would be trip-taker had a labyrinth oi'ealctila'.ions; of journey expenses to go through in order to as certain ti.v cost of the trip. Now h, simply pays dt. wn his K I l'ls in order to make a short sea passage and pleasant 1'111'(1)" inn t" London (from I )n1J!i::) and back, and he has just to remember that he tUU4 be lion.e within a rf.J1'tlliht fron1 the time of setting out. There are many advantages, wltkh a traveller can fÙl1y appreciate Î" this system. (luc of them b, that paying Ins fare before he starts he can measure his expenses more nearly', and need not burden himself with so much money on his journey.

THE CORN MARKETS. LONDON, Nov. 17.—The supplies of English wheat on sale in the leading country markets held on Saturday were tolerably good yet the demand for that grain ruled steady, at ver* v fuÜ prices. At the outports foreign wheat was quite as dear. The inquiry for barley was firm, at extreme currencies. Oats were in moderate request. A large business was doing in Hour; but most other articles commanded very little attention. The quantity of wheat received fresh up to this morning's market from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, coastwise, was "cry moderate but in excellent condition. The demand for fine wheats l'ulcd steady at an advanee of Is p,, (jr. lied English wheats were quite as dear, and a good clearance was effected. With foreign wheat iust landed as well as ex-granary, we were fairly supplied, The arrivals of wheat off Falmouth have been on the increase. Polish Odessa sold for Hollaud, at 31s Cd, including all charges. Scarcely any foreign orders are here. Superior Chevalier Malt- ing Barley produced 3is to 34s per qr. Most other kinds of barley were in steady request, at fully last week's prices. Malt moved off steadily, at late rates. The oat trade was tolerably firm, but no improvement in the quotations. Beans were in good request, and most qualities advanced Is per qr. Grey peas Is dearer, with a steady demand. Indian crn was nomi- nally quoted at 2Gs per qr. of Galatz. A full average business was transacted in flour, at extreme quotations. B. s. 8, s.
