It is in contemplation to construct an iron Railway from Colchester to Braintree and Halsted. The flatness of the country, the quantity of land produce which would thereby find a cheap transit to market, and of coals, which could then be sold twenty miles beyond Braintree at the same price as they are now sold at there, are circumstances which render the project highly desirable.

A marble Statue to the memory of Dr. Jenner has been erected in Gloucester Cathedral. It is placed at the west end of the nave, immediately before the first pier on the south side. The execution of this public monument reflects credit upon the sculptor Sievier. The Doctor is represented in the gown of his Oxford degree, which gives a fine display of drapery, so arranged as to render unobtrusive the ungraceful forms of modern cos tume, and at the same time to impart to the figure a degree of height and dignity which it might otherwise have wanted. In his right hand, which crosses the body, and supports a fold of the gown, he holds a scroll; and in his left, which drops carelessly on the side, the appropriate academical cap. The figure is beautiful, distinguished by classical elegance and simplicity; and, through the skill of the artist, seems to convey to the mind of the spectator an idea of that spirit of philanthropy which ever actuated the illustrious Discoverer of Vaccination. The statue is seven feet in height, placed upon a pedestal and base of eight feet. Upon the die of the pedestal is simply inscribed, Edward Jenner, with the time and place of his birth and death, eulogium being an unnecessary accompaniment to a name which is never breathed but with blessings, and which has won its way into the remotest corners of the habitable globe.

The members of the Natural History Society of Manchester held their first dinner at White's Ho. tel last month; Sir Oswald Mosley presided.-In the course of the evening, Dr. Holme, the President of the Society, took an opportunity of expressing his wishes for the success of the proposed School of Medicine. He said, it afforded him the sincerest pleasure to drink the health of Mr. Turner and Mr. Barrow, in their capacity as most efficient officers of the Society; but he would ask leave to couple the name of Mr. Turner with another Institution, to which he hoped the Members of the Medical Profession, as well as the public at large, would afford their patronage and encouragement: he meant the projected School of Medicine. For himself, he was anxious to express his warmest wishes for its success. He had the authority of one of the most eminent Professors of the day, to declare his high approbation of the manner in which, even with their present imperfect advantages, the Lectures were delivered. Such was the progressive improvement of medical science since he was a student, that he was free to acknowledge it required no lit. tle exertion on the part of the older members of the Profession to keep pace with the discoveries of the times. Mr. Turner returned thanks on behalf of himself and colleague. With respect to the kind manner in which Dr. Holme and the company had been pleased to notice his efforts, and those of his brother Lecturers, at the School of Medicine, he would honestly say, they had no wish but to pro. vide for the young gentlemen, who are intended for that profession, the most economical and expeditious way of instruction.

NORTHUMBERLAND. A public meeting has been held at Newcastle, to take into consideration Capt. Browne's plans for erecting a bridge of suspension across the mouth of the river Tyne, from North to South Shields, which far exceeds any thing of the sort that has hitherto been attempted. The Union Bridge, thrown across the Tweed by Capt. Brown, the patentee for the invention of bar suspension bridges, is only 445 feet between the points of suspension, while the main or centre span of the proposed bridge across the Tyne is 900 feet, with two wings or side arches, on each side, of 450 feet; making the total extent of this stupendous work, from bank to bank, 1800 feet, or nearly one-third of a mile. The pillars are to be erected close to the shore on each side, and the centre span, suspended from the inverted arch, will be 115 feet above the highest tides, so that ships of 400 tons will be enabled to pass below it under all sail. The expense of the bridge will be about 100,000l. and the time necessary for its com. pletion, it is supposed, will be about two years. Married.] At Monk Heseldon, Mr. R. White to Miss M.

Mr. Langworth lately read to the members of the Nottingham Philosophical Society, a paper on the progress and utility of that important branch of study, the Mathematics. Immediately afterwards, it was resolved, "that the meetings of the institution be held every other-Wednesday evening, from the present time to the 1st of September, and until that period the reading of papers to commence at half. past eight o'clock."-This subject being disposed of, it was stated to the meeting, that an opinion was entertained in the town, that the admission of mechanics, as members of the institution, was not consistent with its principles and intentions; and consequently, a number of that class of persons were elsewhere about to form a Mechanics' Institute. The President (the Rev. R. W. Almond) replied, it was the anxious wish of himself and the members, to give every encouragement to mechanics to enter the society, and that, instead of pre. cluding them, the doors of the institution were, and always had been, freely open to them. In coufirmation of this fact, Mr. Wakefield added, that out of the two hundred and forty-two persons proposed, two hundred and forty-one had been admitted. Married.] At Nottingham, Mr. J.

That a Rail-road from Stretchel, to Wincanton, to cross the Dorset and Somerset Canal, if it should be completed, so as to feed and supply the same, and be fed and supplied therefrom, upon terms advantageous to both, with such branches as shall be thought necessary and convenient by the Committee, would be of the greatest advantage to the places and districts through or near which it shall pass, and be productive of essential benefit to the public at large.-2d. That a Company be formed for the purpose of effecting this great national communication under the denomination of the "Western Rail-road Company."-3d. That the Capital of the Company be 150,000l. divided into Shares of 50%. each.-4th. That the said Committee do obtain an Act, in the next Session of Parliament, if possible, for carrying these resolutions into effect; -that the said Committee have power to increase the Capital by additional Shares, if necessary ; and, generally, that they have full power to adopt such proceedings as they may deem most conducive to promote the establishment and success of the company.

A meeting was held lately at the Royal Hotel, Birmingham, to take into consideration the pro. priety of establishing an Infant School in that town; the Right Hon. Lord Calthorpe in the chair. The following, among other resolutions, were agreed to unanimously: "That this Meeting, strongly impressed with the importance of watching over the first years of life, and viewing with deep concern the neglect to which the children of the labouring classes are often unavoidably exposed, warmly approves the plan of improving their condition by means of In. fant Schools. "That the present very general employment of females and children of an early age in the Manufactories of this place, in consequence of which the latter are in a great measure precluded from re. ceiving instruction in the ordinary weekly schools, and the former are withdrawn from an attention to domestic duties, together with the continual occurrence of distressing accidents by fire and other causes among very young children, are considerations which in the opinion of this meeting render the institution of Infant Schools in Birmingham peculiarly desirable."

The worthy chairman congratulated the meeting on the increasing number of its members, the augmen. tation of the Museum, and the harmony and urba nity which had distinguished all the proceedings of the Society; and at the same time expressed a hope, that at no distant day, the Hall would be upon an enlarged scale, corresponding with the increasing numbers) of the Society, and the continually enlarging stores of its Museum. In conclusion, he alluded to the resolutions taken by the Society not to abridge the duration of the Session, or to discontinue the discussion upon the papers read before them; and intimated that these resolutions imposed upon all the members the necessity of contributing to the general stock of information. About a dozen new Members were voted into the Society, and a number of others, proprietary and ordinary, were announced to be balloted for at the next Meeting. The preliminary business being closed, a paper transmitted by James Montgomery, Esq. of Sheffield, on "the mutual relations subsisting among the sciences," was read by Dr. William son. Mr. James Montgomery, the poet, who has for one-and-thirty years conducted the Sheffield Iris, lately relinquished the editorship of that paper. What Mr. Montgomery's talents are, the public very well know; at this time of day they require no eulogy. With respect to his principles as a public writer. he informs us, and we very sincerely believe the assertion, that "from the beginning he took one ground, a plain determination, come wind or sun, come fire or flood, to do what was right." A dinner was lately given to this gentleman, on his retirement, by his friends and the friends of consistent political virtue and principle, at Sheffield, Lord Milton in the chair.

A Cornish Company has been formed, the joint capital amounting to 350,000l. and it has for some time been entirely employed at Tryddyn, Flintshire, in raising iron-stone and coal, for which purpose several hundred men have been engaged; and to meet the necessary conveniences, a great number of dwelling Prior to the commencement of the Caithness fishing abont twenty years ago, the West Highland fishing was the only one carried on to any extent in the kingdom. The West Highland fishing has in a great measure failed from 1812 to 1824, and the last year, though the best of the eleven, was but middling. The Caithness fishing, on the contrary, is regular and uniform. In good years the take of fish amounts to about 400,000, and it rarely falls beneath 25,000. In the best year the West High. land fishing seldom exceeds 100,000 barrels, and in bad seasons it may not amount to 10,000 barrels. The West Highland fishing is very uncertain: it may begin in June, July, or August, and it is not given up till the end of December. There are at present about 150 vessels lying in the Highland lochs, to very little purpose except cutting and stealing nets, buoys, and tailines; but these practices will now be completely checked by the arrival of his Majesty's brig Martial, stationed for the purpose of preserving order in the Highland lochs. The whole West Highland fleet have not yet taken 1000 barrels among them.-The fishing has done well at Wick. It is caculated that 1000 barrels have been cured at that place alone. Indeed along the whole coast, from Cape Wrath to Dunbar, it has done well, and it is calculated that the whole taken will amount to 260,000 or 280,000 barrels. It is calculated that 340,000 barrels are sufficient to supply the markets at home and abroad: the prices are higher or lower in proportion as the whole take exceeds or falls under that quantity. Highland herrings are scarce in the Glasgow market, and bring from 52s. to 553. a barrel. The cod and ling taken at Shetland amounts to 2000, and the take in the other parts of Scotland to about 1000 tons, so that 3000 from Scotland, and about 5000 from Newfoundland, is an average cure.
