EXTRACT FROM REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF MA NAGEMENT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS, DATED TIIE 29TH DECEMBER, 1845. " By the scheme promoted by the Direct \Torthera Railway Com pany it is proposed to bring York (to the n rth of which city there is a population exceeding five millions) within the dicta ice (as mea sured by Bute), of four hours and a half from London ; to reduce by 42 miles the distance now traversed by the existing means of railway communication between those termini ; to lessen the distance as projected by the competing plan least favourable to the public) that of the Eastern Counties Extension by Cambridge and Lincoln) by 2112 miles, and as projected by the most favourable rival scheme (that of the London and York) by ten miles ; and yet so to reconcile this .result with local wants, as to place, without in any instance sacrificing the principle of directness, every town of importance in the districts to be served by this Company's main line nearer Lon don, either by means of the main line itself, or of well-de'•ised lateral lines, than they are by the rchemc of the London and York, which, for the sake of passing through certain towns, pursues a devious route to York, thereby inflicting a serious injury on the country north of the Humber. " Thus the scheme of the Direct Northern Railway offers to the North of England, and to all Scotland, advantages presented by no other project whatever. These advantages it also immediately con veys to Bedford, St. Neots, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Stamford, Grantham, Newark, Lincoln, East Retford, Sheffield, Gainsborough, Doncaster, Pontefract, Selby, and Hull ; whilst it lessens by twenty eight miles the route to Leeds, the great manufacturing capital of Yorkshire, Itself rapidly becoming the centre of an important railway system. " With perfectly unexceptionable gradients, that in no case ex ceeded 1 in 200, with upwards of sixty-nine miles of level on its main line, with no works of any engineering difficulty or of peculiarly ex pensive execution, with only 3,900 yards of tunnelling in eight tun nels, with no opening or swing bridges, with only one viaduct, mu: that of 500 yards, and with remarkably easy curves, the Direct North ern itsilway, whilst its primary object is to unite in the directest manner London and York, will at the same tune serve a rich, fertile, and populous country, will reciprocate the advantages of easy and inexp nsive communication between the manufacturing towns of the north and the agricultural and grazing counties of eastern and central England, and will connect by the shortest route the south of England and the continent of Europe with York, the north of England, and Scotland. The shareholders will observe the suggestion m'de by Mr. Miller, which proposes to introduce a new element of safety, regularity, and speed into railway travelling, by the conveyance of passengers and goods upon separate lines. This suggestion will, no doubt, receive the consideration due to its importance in the ensuing sess;on. " The Committee entirely concur with Mr. Miller in the important bearing which the Holborn Terminus project has on the Direct Northern. It is in effect, though under different management, an ex tension of that line into the heart of London. 13y its means the London Terminus of tke Direct Northern Railway will be immediately avail able for the Post-office and the City of London generally (between Furnival's inn and Gray's-inn-lane), and will itself form a portion of one side of the widest thoroughfares in London, will be in the immediate vicinity of the Courts of Law and Inns of Court, and comes more into the heart of London, with less sacrifice of valuable property, than any metropolitan terminus which has been suggested. " In accordance, therefore, with Mr. Miller's recommendation, and in pursuance of the powers entrusted to them by their proprie tary, the Committee have taken steps to secure control over this project, satisfied that it affords the most central, and, at the same time, the most accessible and least expensive London terminus. " The Committee refer the shareholders to the map accompanying this Report; it fully shows the course and relations of the Direct Northern Railway, and its national character. " Up to the 30th of November, all the standing orders of Parlia ment have been complied with ; and the soUci , ors report their per fect ability to fulfil all that remains t• be completed within tha time limited by the Legislature. " Thus prepared, an I with deposits paid, and the proper deeds signed by a body of most responsible Shareholders, the Com mittee intend so make their applicarimi to Parliament at the earliest posstbis , day, confident that a Project of such undoubted pubue utility as the Direct Northern, in which the. public service itself is deeply interested, will there receive what it only needs to ensure its success —a fair and impartial hearing." The following tables, appended to the Report of the Company's Engineer (John Miller, Esq.), will show the relative advantages of the Direct Northern in point of distances, as compared with its com petitors for legislative sanction, and with existing lines. It may here be observed, that the distance between the cross of St. Paul's Cathedral, in London, and the centre of the Great Tower of York Minster, as measured along the earth's surface, is, according to the Ordnance Survey, 920,108.7 feet, or very nearly 174 1 4 miles ; ant that the main line of the Direct Northern, between London and York, is 176 miles.

POLICY OF FRANCE IN LA PLATA The following important and interesting document has been laid before the French Chambers : (Official.) " Paris, March 22, 1845, " Monsieur lc Baron—The two Governments of England and France, taking into consideration the inde finite duration of the war which is carried on by the re publics of Buenos Ayres and Monte Video, the interrup tion of commerce which thence results, and the injuries of all kinds which the neutral foreigners established in those latitudes are compelled to sustain, have just con certed measures for the purpose of causing their media tion to be accepted by the belligerent parties. As every thing connected with the mediation is to constitute a separate question—a temporary mission—which will re main independent of the functions, both of the Chargé d'Affaires of France at Buenos Ayres, and of our Consul- General at Monte Video, the King has thought it his duty to appeal to your experience and your tried zeal fit his service, by appointing you, on my proposal, his Extraordinary Commissioner in La Plata. " Mr. Gore Ouseley, recently appointed Minister of her Britannic Majesty at Buenos Ayres, in the room of Mr. De Mandeville, and destined by his Government to fill the same mission as yourself, must have already set out to proceed to his post. You will, therefore, have the goodness to prepare likewise to set out as quickly as possible. His Majesty's frigate Erigone, which is to convey you to La Plata, has r ceived orders from the Minister of Marine to keep itself in readiness for sailing. You will, in the first instance proceed to Rio Janeiro, in order to inform the Government of the Emperor of Brazil of your voyage. It is, in fact, in consequence of the communications of the Brazilian Cabinet, repre sented by M. the Viscount d'Abrantes, on the La Plata question, that the Governments of France and England, already occupied with the difficulties of the situation, and resolved to take it into serious consideration, have defini tively adopted the decision to interfere in common. I annex a copy of the dispatch which has been addressed to me by the Viscount d'Abrantes, and one of the reply that I have made to him. You will perceive therefrom, that, according to our first ideas, we had consented to agree with the Brazilian Government respecting the means of execution. After a more mature examina tion, the two Governments deemed it more advisable, for the interest of Brazil itself, not to engage in any mea sures which might become coercive with respect to a neighbouring Government, and to leave France and England in the utmost independence. as well as the responsibility of action. You will explain to the Im perial Cabinet the motives of our conduct, and you will info-rn it that our sincere good •t_oll towards it mikes us attache real value to- keep ilbg it accurately informed. " Your stay in the capital of Brazil Will necessarily ue short; and immediately after having discharged the im portant duties whirl' call you thither, you will set out for La Plata. On your arrival at Buenos Ayres, your first care will be to put yourself in communication with Mr. Ouseley, who will, without doubt, have reached that city before you. You will learn from him the actual state of the question at the hour of your arrival, in conse quence of the preliminary steps which he will have taken whilst awaiting you, and you will take measures with him for all those that will follow. You will habitually re • side at Buenos Ayres, where also your colleague is to re side, in order to keep yourself in constant communication with him. It will be easy for you to communicate from thence, in writing, with the Government of Monte Video. The Argentine is, moreover, the more consider able of the two states, which it is our object to recancile ; it is undoubtedly, from its government that the resist ance to our mediation will arise ; it is the latter, at least, that will have to make the first sacrifice for the re establishment of peace ; and it will be advisable for you to remain at the seat of the principal difficulty, in order to labour more closely for its solution. " The object proposed in the first place by France and England is to cause the cessation of hostilities. " Mr. Ouseley is instructed first, to address to Gene ral Rosas, friendly representations to this effect. To these you will add your own, which will derive a new degree of authority from the peculiar situation of France with respect to the Argentine Government. You will render General Rosas sensible of the regard which the King's Government has nut ceased to enter tain for him since the conclusion of the treaty of the 29th of October, 1840, of the, no doubt, use less, but persevering, efforts that have been made by our Consul General at Monte Video, in order to maintain in a state of neutrality the French sub jects who wished to take arms against Oribe ; of the re sistance which we have opposed for the last four years to the efforts made in France itself to influence public opinion, for the purpose of driving us to interference. You will inform him that our intention is by no means to recommence what the treaty of 1840 happily termi nated ; that we are not the allies of the present Go vernment of Monte Video against him ; that we re cognise, in common with all sensible persons, the neces sity that has borne him to, and which maintains him in the Government of his country, that we have waited as long as we could, in order that the war might terminate of itself; but that we are no longer justified in waiting any longer at present, in face of the sufferings and the reiterated requests of those of our nation who have remained neutral, and that we ate compelled, for the interest of our commerce, as well as for that of humanity, to put a period to a state of things which has become intolerable " We are inclined to believe that the Government of Buenos Ayres will acknowledge the evidence of these facts: You might add, that in the conversations that, have taken place between the two Governments on the subject of mediation, we have always taken care to make all the provisos necessary for preserving the honour and the interest of the Argentine republic ; pro visos that the English Cabinet, moreover, has admitted with perfect good faith. You will inform him, in fine, that his own dignity, the future prospects of his power, and his very devotion to the American cause, counsel him, in our opinion, to yield with a good grace, and not to prolong a ferocious contest that is con demned by the whole world. The conditions that he will obtain in the final arrangement, after having taken the initiation in the work of pacification, will be neces sarily better than if he persists in exciting every interest against him. You will assure him that, in the negotia tion, we will spare no pains to obtain the concession to him, in fact, of the best terms possible, but at the same time reminding him that we have recognised, as well as England and Brazil, the independence of the Eastern State, and that we can admit nothing that puts that in dependence in question. " Even although Mr. Ouseley should have failed, be fore your arrival, in his attempt at friendly persuasion, you will yourself make a further endeavour. If General Roses yields to these reasons ; if he consents to recall General Oribe and to order his army to evacuate the eastern territory, you will undertake, without delay, in colleen with your colleague, the negotiation of an arrangement between the two republics. Here, the resistance will no doubt change its nature ; you will have to contend against the claims of the present heads of government of Monte Video, exalted by an unexpected deliverance. You will not hesitate to reduce such demands to their proper value ; you will de clare that the two great powers have not interfered to satisfy local animosities and emigrant rivalries, but to establish peace upon solid bases, aeci to ensur e the main tenance of order upon the two banks of La Plata ; you will say, loudly and firmly, that far from taking part in favour of one of the two republics against the other, the two eahipele are determined to guarantee the security of each of them for the future, tie well of that of Beetles Ayres as that of Monte Video. " Consequently if the Government of Buenos Ayres deems it necessary to its repose to banish from the eastern territory the Argentine refugees that are to be found there, you will admit the legitimacy of this claire, and accept it as a condition of peace. It is well tinder stood that, in this case, you will interfere in case of need, in order to fereieh the individuals pointed out the tpeuns of quitting Monte yielec i , and to fulure fur their persons and property all the protection de sirable. On the other Nod, if the Eastern Republic claims, on the part of teat of Buenos Ayres, guarantees against future aggressions, you will take care to give to ;,;lase guarantees such a form as shall app. ar to you the 1 niCit serious and ethcacious.

S IT N• JANUARY 31, 1846 harmony which you are commissioned to re-establish be tween the two banks. We leave the choice of the means to your own experience. " I have only spoken to you hitherto, Monsieur le Baron, of cases in which the belligerent parties might voluntarily accept your mediation even after some uncer tainty. It is, in fact, not very probable that both will resist the friendly observations that you are instructed to offer. If, however, you shall meet with an unconquer able opposition, you are authorised to have recourse to the employment of force. You will address, at the same time, to the two Governments, an invitation, signed by Mr. Ouseley and yourself ; and if, within a certain given time, one of them has not consented to submit to your invitation, you will inform M. the Admiral Laine, Commander of the French naval forces in La Plata, who will take, in concert with the commander of the naval forces of her Britannic Majesty, such measures as shall be deemed necessary against the obstinate bellige tent party. The combined squadrons will, if necessary, occupy the rivers, and establish an effective blockade on either of the two banks of La Plata ; but the two Admi rals are enjoined only to employ the maritime means, which have been deemed sufficient, and not to effect any landing other than the temporary occupation of the isle of Martin Garcia, or every demonstration of the same sort useful to the success cf the maritime operations. " Within these limits you might indicate on your own responsibility, and after having come to a preliminary understanding with Mr. Ouseley, such a measure as shall appear to you efficacious at a given moment, Admi ral Leine will receive orders to obey the summons that you shall address to him in writing. Copies of his in structions are anrexed. It is expressly agreed between the two Govern ments of France and England, that neither shall seek to obtain, in consequence of this mediation, either a concession of territory, or any other separate advan tage. It is also agreed that if it is possible to avail ourselves of the novel situation about to commence, in order to obtain the opening of the streams of Plata to free navigation, the representatives of the two Great Powers shall occupy their attention with the question, but only in cases in which the opportunity may present itself naturally, and when the other difficulties may be overcome. It is, no doubt, advantageous to open to European trade those great fluvial channels which pene trate to the very heart of South America ; but that is, for the moment, a merely secondary interest, compared with those which are contending in La Plata, and it would be imprudent to increase in the outset, by any demand whatever, the uneasiness and distrust of the Argentine Government. " In conclusion, I enclose a copy of the instructions given to Mr. Ouseley by the Government of her Bri tannic Majesty, and which have been communicated to us. The intentions of the two Governments being in exact conformity, you will find in the instruc tions of your colleague what may be wanting in these. I need not renew, in concluding, the essential recommendation to maintain, on all occasions, a goad and cordial understanding with Mr. Ouseley, and to contribute, by every means in your power, to cause the same sentiments to prevail amongst the officers of the two squadrons. That is one of the principal duties of your mission, and the King's Government expects that you will attach yourself to its fulfilment with the intelligence and devotion of which you have already given so many proofs. " Receive, &c., " To M. le Baron Deffaudis, &c." " GUIZOT. THE RIVER PLATE. The following are extracts of letters from Buenos Ayres, received per her Majesty's steamer Cyclops. " BUENOS AYRES, Nov. 13.—Everything is perfectly quiet here, and whatever may be the opinions against:the administration of General Roses, there is but one against foreign intervention, particularly as regards the forcing of the river Parana. " The batteries and defences erected between San Ni colas and San Pedro, to resist the passage of the expe dition upwards, are said to be respectable, but, in our opinion, they stand no chance against the Gorgon and Firebrand, whilst further hostilities are to be car ried on on both banks of the river, wherever practicable, on the whole route to Corrientes. Armed whaleboats are stationed in the different creeks to surprise the merchant vessels in the convoy, as well as on the coasts and ports in the pro vinces of Santa Fe and Lake Rios, and we much fear that without reference to the unfavourable result which the, speculators may expect from the heavy quantity of goods of all descriptions going forward, that loss of life and property will befal many of the merchant adven turers, who, without the least consideration, have com mitted themselves from Monte Video in this (in our opinion) most hazardous enterprise. We shall, how ever, see the result before long. The war vessels to Blear the passage are said r to have sailed. The conry Martin garcia, • 7 .here until the passage ._ tree. NO Brazilian vessels are allowed by their authorities to juin in the expe dition. " The advices from Monte Video to the 10th inst., do not lead us to expect a change. Mr. Ouseley ex pects something important from England by the end of December. It is stated that the French are becoming luke.varin, and that the Baron Deffaudis does not second Mr. Ouseley so promptly as the latter could wish. "The Eagle had sailed for Maldonado, and it was ex pected that place would be occupied and entrenched. "Baron Mareuil, the French Chargé d'Affaires, dis sentient from the Ministers, was about to proceed to Rio. The proposals which he made were considered inadmissible by the Ministers ; at least so it is repoited. " Advices are in town to-day, stating that the war vessels to force the passage of the Parana were off San Pedro, three or four leagues below the batteries. It is supposed they - are waiting the French steamer Fulton, that was to sail from Monte Video on the 11th or . 12th instant. " BUENOS AYRES, Nov. 14.—From advices received in town last night, it is presumed that the expedition attacked the batteries on the River Parana yesterday. " From gDod French authority, we are informed that it is not the intention of the Governments of France and England to send any expedition to these countries. They think that Roses wishes to get rid of foreigners, and they therefore will attempt to show him how insig nificant this province will become wanting foreign trade, whilst by the opening of the River Parana they count on throwing the trade to Monte Video, where for the present a more liberal system exists. Meantime Buenos Ayres will continue under blockade. The realisation of such views as these will be attended with some difficulty; for whilst Oribe remains in the Banda Oriental (and this he will do as long as there are resources in that coun try, unless a formal expedition is sent against him, or his supplies through Brazil entirely cut off), it is clear that there will be no trade in the State of Monte Video on any side. Then there is Entre Rios and Santa F 6, from which an army must be driven ; and having done so in the last province, it remains to be seen whether the interior states of this confederation will or not join the new league. We fear the Ministers do not well calculate the difficulties they have to contend with, and they have committed a grand mistake in laying hold of a party, who, with g )od intentions, can never obtain the preponderance necessary to govern these countries. In the event of Buenos Ayres being attacked, we believe it is resolved that if the force is overwhelm ing, to abandon the town, and establish a siege from Quilmes to Las Conchas, which would reduce us to the state that Monte Video now is in, and which you will agree would not be very pleasant. All these things, however, must only be expected, in the event of no arrangement taking place directly with the Home Government, and in which we place some little reliance, as we think these people would make some arrangements in this way, which with the Ministers they could not accede to. We have heard nothing lately from the Uruguay. The advices from the interior provinces continue of the most tranquil kind. " The packet is posted to sail positively on the 18th. She takes a great many passengers to Monte Video, and amongst these Mr. Ball, British Secretary of Legation, and Mr. Griffiths, late Consul here. "BUENOS AYRES, Nov. 15.—Her Majesty's ship Melampus has arrived here this morning, to reinforce the blockade squadron. " We cannot help thinking that this Government has received some advices respecting the expedition. The alarm which exists here will not subside until the vessels have passed up, and many people are of opinion that some severe measures will be taken with English and French residents ; but we hope that although the people may feel themselves irritated at this aggression, they will be discreet, as such a course is for their interest. " BUENOS AYRES, Nov. 18.—We have heard nothing further of the expedition. There is no gleam here yet of anything like peace ; on the contrary, violent and energetic resistance seems to be the order of the day, and such will be carried on, fulfilling our prophecy that intervention and ruin were synonymous. "BUENOS AYRES, Nov. 26.—Advices are in town of the attack on and destruction of the batteries on the Parana by the combined fleet, on the 19th instant. No details have as yet been made public here, and we are quite at the mercy of reports. It seems, however, pretty certain, that the loss of life has been considerable on both sides. Up to the present everything remains quiet, and we do not expect that any measures will be taken by the Go.. vernment until they obtain direct advices from Zngland and France. " This Government now permit the free importation of goods of all kinds from Monte Video, and on these and all other imports they deduct one-third of the duties, Several adventures have been entered into, and will no doubt be successful whilst the fleet is in the Parana, but afterwards they will be wall looked after. From the interior everythinc , is quiet. "It was reported yesterday that three of the Parana convoy had been captured by the whale boats dispatched from this, but we douht if such is 'rue. c„ k iehauKe, 14-10; doubloons have reached as high as 35'do111!" • Extract of a letter from Monte Video, dated Dec. 1, received by her Majesty's steamer Cyclops ; he day before Testerday intelligence was received of the total destruction of the defences thrown up on the Parana, to obstruct the passage up that river; this was effected by the combined English and French forces, after a desngately contested engagement, which lasted nine hours. We enclose an account of this afAir ; wl4o;.l4 has heel.; published here, and which We "presume may be con sidered sufficiently correct, inasmuch as it is said to be a PRICE SD. 1 summary of Captain Hotham's dispatch, given by Mr. Ouseley to the publishers. " The merchant vessels are still anchored at Martin Garcia, where it is ascertained they will have atlast to wait six or eight weeks, until the vessels of war re turn to convey them up, as it is in contemplation on the part of the latter, to proceed to the Bajada, and commu nicate with Paz ere their return. " Since the sailing of the expedition, the demand for goods has almost entirely ceased." FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

The first witness called was Elizabeth Reynolds, who deposed that she is a married woman, and resides at No. 3, Weston place, St. Thomas's-street, Borough.

The infant was subsequently taken away at night by Mr. Richardson in a blue bag. witness told Mr. Richardson that it was necessary to get a certificate and have the birth registered, as also its death.

Mr. Wood saw the child on the day of its death and the following di v. The mouth was much in flamed. Richardson stated his daughter's name was Robin son, and that her husband was gone abroad for three y ears , and that he had agreed she should remain with his family after her accouchement, and until Mr. Robinson returned to England, as they had not commenced housekeeping. Mr. Wood gave a medical certificate. She applied for it, and gave it to Mr. Richardson or his wife. - Thomas Jones, labourer, deposed that Mr. Richardson employed him to dig a hole in his garden. This w as i n l as t September, on Thursday or Friday. The prisoner said h e was going to London. He said to witness, " Dig a hole in this corner of the gravel path." He dug it three feet long and four deep. He was to get it done against the prisoner returned, as he meant to have a bit of a drain to draw the water from the house. I dug the hole, and prisoner came home between five and six that evening, and slid it would do very well. It was open three days, and on the Monday following I filled the gravel by his order. He said he had altered his mind and should not have the drain, but did not say why some of the gravel had been filled in.

Mr. Mitchell said he had made a post mortem examination of tha body, and had, since that, tried various tests, one of which with the view of finding arsenic, but it had been un satisfactory, and had puzzled him. He had since consulted the Coroner, who had determined to send the remains to London, to undergo a strict examination. The prisoner said he wished to give seriatim a statement of facts, from first to last, concerning the charge. He never considered the birth or death of the infant had been con cealed. He merely wished that the body should not be thrown out of the churchyard. He had no thoughts that the remains would have been disturbed, at least, in his lifetime. Ills engaging a nurse and a doctor proved that there was no intention on his part to secrete the birth or death. Ilis wife and daughter both had attended in engaging the apart ments. He then read several letters from his wife, daughter, and son, showing the affection that subsisted in the :family, which proved nothing as to the alleged charges. Prisoner then said that lie went to London on the 27th of September. He afterwards got the coffin made and brought it down him self by railway. He concluded by saying he deeply regretted and repented of all the circumstances, particularly of his own conduct. lie had done everything to provide well for a large family, and this was the only event hehad to deplore through life.

They were the strongest shocks we have had since that catastrophe. Every body was much alarmed. The walls of the prison are cracked, and those of the barracks are injured. On the 19th there were sowia slight shocks, but no injury was done. - _ -..,._-,•,..--, .-4 , ,X.,°7- - ..4-'ii.'"': . ..' - '_li:'.... • --•.- -,- ~-~~ -; -~~ 4 . ~~ ~ `.,F* - ~*" ^ API -27;4 Vib koAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION, h r. ,),,, c tures on CHEMIST RY, with Brilliant Experiments, no,, daily daily at Half-past Three, and on the Evenings of tht i'4 % , t e dnesdays, and Fridays, at Nine o'Clock.
