A SSTJMING tl . e JS ortl : ern Terminus of the Erefx wash Railway as its origin , this Line will pnss through localities totally unprovided with Railway accommodation , into the populous manufacturing districts of Lancashire . It will continue tlio important Line from which it borrows the prefix of its mine , from Aifreton , in Derbyshire , where it will be a recipient of tr .-iih ' e IVom the Cromford canal—communicating with the Ccdnor Iron Works , and obeying the course of the river Dcrwent , and continuing aloug the Dinting Vale , enter Yorkshire in the vicinity of Saddk-wcrth . In its course , it will pass through or near to Matlock , Ashbourne , Glosspp , Mottram , IlyfisM , aisd Dujkenfield , in roach ing which puiut ihe Manchester and Shcfiield Railway will ba inters : ctcd , and the Iluddersfield Canal-Kailway passed near to the Rcchdale Station of the Manchester , and Leeds Railway . It is unnecessary to state here the character of the country from Rochdale to Elackbam : it will be sufiieieiit to observe , that it is the scat of those manufactures to vrhhh England owes her accumulating wealth . Tiie Line will proceed thence through or near to Whitwarth and Rosscndalc , and fall into the East Lancashire llailway , in the vicinity of llasiingdm . A Branch will be thrown out of the trunk Line , from the Junction with the East Lancashire Line near Ilasliiigden , by- Low-Moor and Hacup , to Todmorden . Tiie Erewasli Extension will be the only direct route from the centre of Derbysbirc to the great manufacturing towns and chief sea-ports of Lancashire . It will traverse a valley-dfstrict adorned with the most picturesque scenery , and , at the same time , rich in mineral produce . It will communicate , laterally , with ftvcral trunk Lines of Railway , and will i : c " fed by no less than live working canals—the Croinford—the Manchester and Sheffield—the lludiiersfield—the Manchester and Leeds—and the Liverpool and Blackburn . To the multiplication of advantages which .-intersecting Railways and Lines of still-water navigation , arc compelled to nit ' urJ , the throwing out of Branches from the Line itself , in so many . directions , will add sttli further powers cf accommodation , and , when the dense population in the localities traversed is cousidi-red , there h every reason to coiivludc that an ample remuneration for vested capital will be obtaintd . By following the courses of rivers , which , in this instaucc , fall in wiih exact direction of the projected Line , highly favourable gradients arc obtained for a considerable part of the length : and every other section of the country , upon a preliminary survey , ha 3 bzen reported as more thau commonly practicable . WiiUe the return for capital cannot be questioned , and the necessities of the district demand accommodation , the expenditure must necessarily fall below the usual amount for works of equal magnitude . - To identify this project wiih that of the Erewash Valley , although not included under , or belonging to the same Executive , it is proposed to allow Subscribers in that Company shares in the Erewasli Extension : the number to be regulated by the interest retained in the elder project . The Deeds will provide that no Call shall be made on the Shareholders beyond tlie Deposit now paid , until the Act cf Parliament is obtained ; and power will be taken in the Act to allow four per cent , interest upon all Cails .

      ¦ THE PRESENT GAMBLING MANIA . ITS PARALLEL IS THE TULIPOiTANIA 01 ' 1 C 31 . "Wiiex first the Northern Star drew attention to the vising mania foi * " gambling" in llailway shares , a « d predicted the direst consequences both to considerable nunibcrs of the parties directly engaged in it , and to the mition at large from the derangement in the money-market sine to follow on such transactions it was set down by many as " a foolish croaker " who was sounding alarm without cause . But a very

      few months have ' psscd . . over since then ; and now yeu cannot cast the eye in any direction , that you do not sac alarming evidence of the truth and foresight ot the Star ' s warnings and observations . "Where is there now a " best possible public instructor" to be found that is not preparing the public for that derangi nn- reaction which , we pointed out as a certain consequence of the measures then initiated , even while there was yet time to have prevented them , had there been courage enough in the administration to Ti-npple with the incipient difficulty and nip it in

      the bud . But now ; now that " the" mania has been allowed its full growth ! now that it lias attained its full strength ,. and is somewhat on the wane ; now that It has spread its contaminating influence tlu-ough-OUt all society ; now that it has sucked in hundreds of parties , who at the time we spoke , looked upon the gambling practice , with horror ; now , that it has made certain of all tlie mischief it can effect , the everl ready and wholly-honest press of England is generally sounding the note of alarm , and warning the 41 reckless speculators" of the tremendous consequences that await them . ' For speaking in time ,

      when these evil consequences might have been prevented or guarded against , the Northern Star was dubbed a ' " croaker : " for speaking now , when the mischief'is- done—when the warning ! can be of no sort of possible earthly . use ; for speaking now ,- when all power of prevention is gone , and when even the possibility of guarding against the awful consequences of the gambling infatuation hag departed ; for speaking now , under sucli consequences , thepress of .. England is acquiring a character for " wisdom .

      Untitled Article

      peatedly traced the . [ operation of the mania up to its climaxj and shewn the'tremendous consequences sure to ' follow ; having put our numerous cautions on record , wo left the matter without further public notice , to watch the deyelopeineut of that which we had done our best to crush in the shell ; but which the " cheat statesman" how in power dared not to tackle , for fear of upsetting the whole of our " stock " - based system . That , doyelopement we have now seen :: and we are constrained' to confess that lively as the danger appeared ia ^ respective to us ;

      allengulphing as the mania threatened to be , the reality lias far exceeded the most gloomy picture of its extent that the mind was ][ then able to form . At the present moment we have schemes afloat—companies formed—shares taken , and "selling" at a premium , for projects which require for their realization u" - tvardiof £ 700 , 000 , 000 of money ! There has been " subscribed" by the reckless spectators and gamblers a sum of money to provide Jaciiities for transit , equal to the Rational lAcr of England , which it is notorious there is not money enough in the whole world to liquidate ! Oi course the reader will fully understand the meaning of the term " subscribe , " as * applied , to Railway and other gambling

      projects . It docs not mean that the mono } has been poid-butonly'PROMISED : and he will hardly need to be reminded'that in these tilings there is avast diii ' erence between " promise" and performance . The Bank of England " promises" to p .-ij- all Us notes " on demand ; " while it is notorious that it could not , even now when it has such-a sioclc of bullion in its coffers , meet one-half of its engagements were it called on . To , expect that the " subscribers" of the £ 700 , 000 , 000 for Railway purposes at home and abroad ,, could realize in practice half of what they have promised , or even one seventh of it , is tu be very innocent ofpuliiicai and economical , kiiowicdye indeed . Why , if the infatuated droiimin !> s of the least

      sanguine speculator could -be realized , the National I > i : j : t would he ajica-l-ite merc ' i ' , which we should be silly to esvve fov . ] f there wi \ s anvlli ' ms ; like £ 700 , 000 , 000 of unemployed capital in the country , ready to be " subscribed " - in Je . « s than two or even five years for the formation of Railways , we could pay off the D ' kkt ,- without difficulty or derangement to any one ' ? interest , " in less than ten years . And yet , is it not as notorious as that the sun shines at mid-day that to pay the- interett of this said 1 > kist only , has plunged the nation into dangers and difficulties unheard of before in the history of states ? Is it not notorious that the exaction of £ 00 , 000 , 000 annually for the interest of the Debt , ami lev the

      Establishments which that Debt renders necessary , lm Rumbled us , as a people , before the world ; has tied our hands on our backs , and forced us to tamely put up with insults and . wrong from itll the " strong" powers of the earth ? There is France in Algeria , bombarding Mogadorc—making war on the Emperor of Moitocco —engaged in a series of conquests which will materially interfere with our "interests : " and yet we dare not say "muff , " but are compelled to look inactively on the " war of extermination , " "free " only to indulge in the forlorn hope that the barbarous hordes led on by Abd-i : i .-Kadj : h will be powerful enough to drive the " conquering' hosts" of France into the sea . There is -Texas—annexed to

      our most powerful RIVAL , —the United Stales : and this , too , in suite of the throats and bluster ol Mexico , OUIv " a lly" whom ive are bound by treaty to aid ; and in spite , too , of the threats in England , when annexation was first proposed , that the Yaukies should " not ha pcr . nhtcd to accomplish their object . " But there Texas is , —ANNEXED The Oregon territory is already occupied ! The Caifoniins arc set on , and the preliminary preparations eiynjjed in for another annexation ! Mexico itself is in imminent danger of passing into the hands of the " Great Republic ; " and here we are , tied up

      —bound hand-and-foot together with tiik jjkbt , and incapable of doing more tiian utter quiet despiiiring grumblings , against the acts which tarnish our " national glory" and rcd « : c the nations ! power . Should we remain thus passive , had we so many hundreds of millions of iii .-einj . loyotl capital in I he Jantl , us oul Railway promoters have •' subsei ' . bcd V Should we let tub dv . bt crush us into the earthhumble cur pride—make our biili-frogcdness lick the very dust , had we the means at command that these "men of lik'tnl" Imvc inaiic themselves " nq-onnhie'' (!) for ? Should wo present t !; e humiliating

      spectacle of a nation hi " periodical " ' ruin ; with manufactures prostrate ; with traders in the Gazette ; with wi . r . ; - ; u-oplo starving ; with every tenth man a pauper ; with gaols abound hi g ; with crime increasing six times over in fifty years , while the population lisa not doubled : should we present this spectacle before the world , as a cor . sequence of ouk debt , 'had we the millions amongst us timfc t ! su Railway madfulks have put down on paper ? If there had been / j «// of the means in the country those folks have PLEDGED themselves to produce , would Sir iloDEur 1 ' , have proclaimed in the face of day that the limits of taxing the producer ( from whom all wealth si'uiXGs ) had been passed ;

      and that it was now impossible to wring the £ G 0 , 000 , 0 . 'O a-ycair out ot liiin ; and that therefore those who had " aceuimil . - . ted" wealth must give up a portion to enable theirs to retain the rcss ? Lut why pursue the inquiry further ? The PLEDGES that have been made are but the acts of madmen , madly engaged in : pledges which ib is utterly impossible to redeem even to a seventh degree : and pledges of which the non-fulfilment , as well as the fulfilment ( were that possible ) is equally sure to bring ruin upon hundreds of thousands , and paralyse nil the productive energies of the country . ' The nation will have dearly tu pay for the reckless pranks of those whom the law ought to have restrained .

      1 ms iias evei ' been , the case—the result—from all former national manifestations of the gambling propensity . The present is i . ir from being the first occasion of the sort ; and our governors have therefore no excuse lot not having nipped it in the bud , other than that the whole supcrstnictiuv of State is built on a , gambling foundation ; and that to interfere would be to * endanger tlie entire social fabric . If there had been no experience to appeal to , as to THE EFFECTS which national gambling are certain to produce , the inaction of Sir Rohkist Teel would

      have been more defensible than it is .: but with the " light of other days " , before his eyes : with history in his hands ; with his own experience to appeal to , his conduct , in relation to the present rage for gambling , charged as he is with the destinies of this ; industrious and endeavouring people , is really ' crimixal , and affords of no defence other than that above sot . forth . Had he not the experience of 1835 and of 1 S 25 to guide him ? Was lie-not an actor on the political stage at both periods ?! Could ho have forgotten the awful consequences on both these occasions , from the gambling manias then set in ? "Was it possible for the years of gloomy depression , with their SWING FIRES-theirrioti —their mutes—their insolvencies—their "

      ruination -their . " calling on God to put an end to uncni durable sufferings before morning ; " was it possible for . Sir Robem Peel to have forgotten all these things ? Had he not the'history of the South Sea bubble within his reach ? Could he Lave lackedini formation , as to ivhat has been the conseojience ojf former "manias" to obtain fortunes without productive industry , had he taken trouble to seek for it ? -And with such , information in . his hands , was he not a pusillanimous minister not to try to save his country from the dire inflictions certain to be entailed if the incipient mania were : allowed to clevelope itself ? The pica that he dare not do so , for fear of " upsetting the whole apple-cart" of Government , is a splendid testimony as to Us stability , tmi of the righteous foundation on which it is grounded ! :

      The " fall infliction , " however , we are doomed to bear . Full play has been accorded to the gambling bubble speculations of the day ; and the full taJcoi " consequences" we must endure . , What those will really . be ^—how heiavy and how devastating , —time alone can reveal . -But some idea may Jbe formed from looking . £ «< $ ; at what lias been tho result from similar , ca ' iiees . lcss cs { pji § iTeIy applied , ' " , " ' ; ' ' ¦• • •^ ?

      ' The mania for gambling seems to hare periodic developcments in ditferent portions of the civilised world . In England we have had a pretty full share of it , at the times and occasions enumerated above , and also in our lottehies , which were eventually suppressed by Jaw out of a pretended regard to the national character of ou . people . America alto ha l « ul her share : and her . shave of CONSEaUENCES tooy both in doprceialion of property , ' and in depreciation of national character . REPUDIATION «¦ thenatund offfpriiu / of gaming . To talk of " honour " in relation to a gamester , is to confound truth with

      falsehood * '• Light is not more opposed to dai'kne $ s than is all gaining to honour and rectitude . The very foundation of gaming is rotten—dishonest . Gaming is the chance of obtaining , or losing that for which no equivalent is or can be given . Tliis is in its very nature nefarious—dishonest . So universally is" this Inoivn and . felt to be the case , even by themost infatuated of gamblers , that they will not part with their losings , if all chance of gaming tlicui lack again has passed away ! Let the game bejbut run out—and all chance of winning gone ; au ^' ^ rbur veriest gambler will REPUDIATE ! And w ||| jioul ( lie not ? The very principle that justifies l | i ^© Ci ) iance of the " birthright of his brother , " wiiiioM a ' ai giving " a mess of pottone" hi exchange , vr ut'justify

      his refusal to be stripped of all he possesses , without any equivalent from the stripper . Nay , in relation to''honour , " and "honesty , " and " morality , " the refusal is by far more honourable than the acquiescence . It is true that such a cottisc is a direct infringement of the " Jaws of gaming ; " and provis the man a scoundrel who resorts to it , after he lias subscribed to these laws—and , by his acceptance of " winnings , " pledged himself to abide by"tlicm : but of this tiij : camksteu is not entitled to complain . Before a man can engage in gaming trniiEfielioiis afc . all , he must , be scoimdrclmd in nahire : and if a scorn .--drclaclsas a . scoundrel is expected to act , and as his nature prompts him , it is not for . other scoundrels to taunt him and reprove—but it is lor honest men to try . to mend tJie whole batch .

      Perhaps the most interesting as well as the most instructive lesson as to the course oi" national gamin ? , arid its tleiiioi-nlkiiig consequences , is given by Bkckmaxx , in his history of the TvMpomaniaol ' iho seventeenth century . Many people of the present day are not aware that the mania for pambliii " fixed itself id that period on the harmless Tuli p with equally as great avidity as it has now fixed itself on Railway schemes , or as it did in the beginning of i !< e eighteenth century on the South Sea bubble . Y < ut such is the fact : and in the history of thatpaiiil we may trace our present course—and antici pate some of the consequences sure to flow out of the present enormous ilevelopement ef the evil .

      " The Tulip , " says Dhckma . n . v , which is of no farther use than to ornament gardens ; which is exceeded in beauty by many other plants , ' niui whose dnraiicn is short ar . il very precarious , Ixc'inc in ( ho middle of the seventeenth century , tjie olyet-t o /'; trade such as is not to be met with in ( he hision- of commerce and by which its price rose above that of the most precious metals . This Insi ' ie w « s not carried on throughout all Europe . Inifc in sonic cities of tlie Netherlands ; particularly AuiKterdMu , llsuivlcin , Utrecht , Alkmar , I . eydon , Rotterdam , F . iikhuyseu , and Mectleiiblick ; and rose to tho greatest height in the years 1 C 3-1-5-G and 7 . For a root of the species called " viceroy , " the after-mentioned articles , valued as below expressed , ' were agreed to be delivered : —

      1- Jortus " Two lasts of wheat ... •}¦} $ " J- ' curdo . vye ... ... 5 / iS " Four ( at oxen ... -ISO " Ei ; : ! it fat swine yji ) " Tlelvc fatslieep .. ' ... 1 : 10 " .

SO " A silver beaker ... ni )

      " Total for one Tulip ... 2 , 500 ! " ~ " Tulips were afterwards gold according to the weight of the roots . Four hundred perits —( a weight less than a grain)—of tlie tulip 'Admiral Lwfkcn , ' ci ; st -i . -iOO iiorins . Tho species Semper Augustus , often sold for 2000 florins ; and it once happened that there were only two ' roots of it to be had , the one at Amsterdam , the other at Haarlem . For a root oL this species one agreed to give -i . OOO florin ? , together with a neiv-carriage , two grey horses , and ' ft complete harness . Another agreed to giv ? twelve acres of land for a root . Those who had not ready money , promised their mcvcablc and immoveablc- goods

      house and lands , cattle and clothes . The trade , is which 00 , 000 . r c . oiii . vs wichf , somkti . mi : s ci . kvkkd ix o . ne iinsTi ! , ivtis followed 'not only by mercantile people , but alto by the first nobkmai , citizens of every description , medumks , seamen , farmers , turf-diggers , chhnnoh sweeps , footmen , maid-servants , and old clothes ivomen AT FIRST EVERY ONE WON , AND NO ONE LOS T . Some of the poorest people gained in a few months houses , coaches and horses , and figurid awoy Ufa the first characters in the land , hi every town some tavern was selected , which served as a 'Change , where high " and low traded in flowers , and confirmed their bargains with the most sumptuous entertainments . They formed lau-s for tkanselvcs , and k-. d notaries and clerics . "

      The object of these speculations , however , had nothing to do with the desire to possess or cultivate the plant ; ii was a mere gaming ron mosbv , and totally unconnected with the feelings which prompted the 'first purchasers . It was a theme which drove the grave , the prudent , the ponderous Dutchman as wiM as over dll the S . nith . Sea babble his more excitable and less calculating brother , John Bull . " A speculator , " continues our authority , " often offered and paid largo sums for a root which he never received , and novot 1 wished to receive . Another sokl root * which he never possessed or delivered . Oft did a nollem-im purchase of a chimney-sweep tulips to tin amount of 2 , 000 florins , and sold them at the same time

      to a farmer ; and neither the nobleman , chinwc < i- ^ ip , nor farmer , had roots in their possession , or wided to 2 ) osscss them . Before the tulip season ms over , move , roots were sold and purchased , bespoke and pvoimsevl to be delivered , than in all probability wove to be . found in the gardens of Holland ; and wUcn' Semper Augustus' was not to be had , which happened twice , no species was oftcner purchased and sold . In the space of three years , more than 10 , 000 , 000 iiorins were expended in this trade in only one town in Holland . "

      To understand , this gambling traffic it may be necessary to give the following illustration . A nobleman bespoke of a merchant a tulip-root , to be delivered in six months , at the price of 1 , 000 . florins . Suppose that at the end of that time , the price had risen to 1 , 500 florins ; in that case tlie nobleman did not wish to have the'tulip—but tlie merchant paid him 500 . florins . If the price was fallen , so that a root could be purchased for S 00 florins , the nobleman paid to the merchant 200 florins . In all these circumstance , however , no one ever thought of deliver ing the roots for of receiving them . In proportion as more gained by this traffic , mokb ksgaokd is « : a"J

      thosewhohad money to pay to oncsoon had money to receive of another ; as at faro—one loses on one card , and wins on another . The whole trade was a game at hazard , as the Mississippi trade was afterwards , a «« l as stock-jobbing is at present . High and low-priced tulips were procured , that the rich and poor might gamble with tliem . Whoever is surprised that such a traffic should become general needs only to reflect upon what is done where lotteries are established , &y which trades are often neglected and even abandoned , because-a speedier niove of getting fortunes is fjointed out . In short the tulip-trade may very well serve to explain stock-iobbing ., , ,, -,

      At length , however ,, THIS TRADE FELL OF . A SUDDEN . Among such ' a number of commits , max * weije brokex . ' MANY HAD ENGAGED TO PAY MORE THAN THEY WERE ABLE . The whole stock of the adventurers was consumed
