The importance of this project, both nationally and locally, has de termined its promoters to bring it before the public at the present moment, notwithstanding the difficulties which at first sight would appear to stand in the way cf its success. The title of the scheme is sufficiently explicit to pot the !while in possession of its merits without a detailed statement enumerating them. Arrangements are in progress with the Canal Company for its ab solute purchase, the final completion of which will doubtless be ef fected at a very early period. The Warwick and Birmingham Canal has, notwithstanding the opening o7the London and Birmingham Rai way, yielded a dividend of abo.it 12 per cent. to its shareholders By the conversion of the canal into a railway with the benefit of a terminus in the centre of the large town of Birmingham, a direct railway communication will be opened with the impor tant towns of Leamington and Warwick, at which latter place the proposed line will join the branch of the London and Bir mingham Extension Railway Company, from Warwick to Fenny Compton; thus opening, by means of the projected lines through Buckinghamshire, a much nearer railway communica tion between London and Birmingham than the present one, in addi tion to conferring on the very important districts through which the 1 he passes the benefit of railway accommodation, and which is not now possessed by them. The proposed line will be in immediate and close alliance with the Rugby, War wick- and Worcester, the London-and Birmingham Ex tension, and the Warwie, and Worcester Railway Companies; those Companies having ir,reed to subscribe a very considerable portion of the required capital. The necessary plans and books of reference have been deposited, and notices to landowners and others duly served; so that nothing can prevent the Company from applying to Parliament for its Act of Incorporation in the session of 1846. Preference will be given in the allotment of shares to parties locally 'ateresied, to shareholders in the Warwick and Birmingham Canal, Warwick, and Worcester, the London and Birming hamand the Warwick and Worcester Railway Companies, d h within which parties must apply for Shares will expire ant eE he t.item ß n u e g s b o y n , , on the 24th of January, 1846. In the event o: the application to Parliament not being made in the session of 1846, the whole of the deposits will be immediately re turned to the shareholders without any deduction for expenses or otherwise. Applications for Shares may be made in the undermentioned Form to the several solicitors and secretaries of the Company. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. To the Directors of the Warwick and Birmingham Canal Railway Company. Gentlemen,—ln consideration of your allotting me Shares of 201. each in this undertaking, I hereby undertake to pay the de posit of 21. 2s. per Share thereon, or on such lesser number of Shares as may allotted to me, and to execute the necessary deeds when thereunto required.

Sir Claude Scott and Co., Cavendish -square, London. • Messrs. Smith, Ellison, &c., Lincoln. The Committee have the satisfaction of announcing to the public that they have fully eomplied with the whole of the standing orders of both Houses of Parliament. They have done this without having issued one share up to the present time. The great preponderance of landowners on the proposed line are decidedly favourable to its construction, and the consulting engi neer, Mr. John Urpeth Rastrick, and the acting engieeer, Mr. W. B. Prichard, concur in an entire approval of the plans and sections, which have been made from actual and most careful survey. All 0. - e proceedings that have as yet taken place have been ef fected r t a cost of one-fourth less than that of any other line of si milar extent. Should either die London and York Railway, or the Direct Nor thern Railway, obtain an Act, of which there can be but little doubt but that one will obtain the sanction of Parliament, the Lin coln and Grantham Direct Railway will, by joining the Great Tru•ilt at the short distance of seventeen miles from Lincoln (only half an hour's travelling), afford the most direct way to London, at the same lime by its connexion with either the Hull or the Grimsby lines, it will present at once the nearest and most direct communi cation between Loneon and Hull. The certified cost o' forming and cempleting.the line throughout from Lincoln to Grantham, supposing that neither the London and York Railway nor'the Direct Northern Railway should be formed, would L s 275,000/. ; hut should either of those lines be pass•d, the expense o7flve miles, including a tunnel, the only one on the route, will be Saved, thus reducing the expense necessary to be incurred to 170,0001., a suns Tess in amount than has ever been expended by any railway of a similar extent, and possessing features of such great prospective rivantage. The Committee pledge themselves to exercise the same discretion and observe the same discrimination in the allotment of shares as they have hitherto pursued in their other proceedings. As they haVe a list of numerous applicants already before them, they have fixed the 26th instant as the last day on which they can receive ap plications for shares. Immediate'y after that day the Committee will issue Letters of Allotment. A further notification will be given when the deeds will be required to be signed previously to their ap plication to Parliament in the approaching session for a Bill, with all requisite and usual clauses. The Committee take the opportunity to apprise the applicants for shares. that unless the required sum is subsctibed and paid up, to enable the Committee to lodge the requisite amount in the hands of the Accountant-General, in conformity with the standing orders of l'arliament, that the deposits will be returned :me of any deduction.

From an examination of the preceding, it 1011 be seen that the line of the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield Railway, as a communi cation between Boston and Sheffield, while it connects Boston and Sleaford with Newark, which the others do net, has the advantages over its opponents of 11% miles in distance, 8,408 yards in tun nelling, and of a gradient of 1 in 120, instead of 1 in 84, thus effect ing an enormous saving in capital. Oa the two other routes compared above, the advantages as to gradients and tunnelling greatly preponderate on the same side, that of the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield Railway; and these, according to a principle lately most prominently announced by a great railway authority—"tht the best railway is not always the shortest, but that which works best "—much more than compensates for its greater length of about three miles. Besides, there are fourteen miles and a half of the route from Not tingham to F,aston, via the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield Railway, already in the course of construction by the Midland Company, Adering it necessary for the opposing lines to make eleven heavy gradients, in order to save • " ree P Jtles and a half in their distance, DRNNISTON, Secretary. as compared with the Boston, . m t i h ,i e le re s lz with very jmst News xii, and Sheffield line. the A snore minute statement of the I comparative merits of these lines, wirte , ,, is now preparing, wal, it s confidently anticipated, set at rest all doubts as to the superior engineering merits of the Boston, N.ewark, and Sheffield Railway, over Its rival schemes, and establish . 43 Parliamentary claims on an incontrovertible basis.

EXTRACT FROM REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF MA- NAGEMENT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS, DATED THE 29T11 D2CLUBET., 1845. " I ^ the scheme promo' ed by the Direct Northers Railway Com pany it is proposed to bring York (to the north of which city there is a Do., ''ation exceeding five millions) within the distance (as mea sured by time), of four hours and a half from London; to reduce by 42 miles the distance now traversed by the existing means of railway cominuniC•A lion between those termini ; to lessen the distance as project" . a by the competing plan least favourable to the public) that ' of the Eastern Counties E - :tension by Cambridge and Lincoln) by 21 mites, a"d as protected 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 or importance in the districts to be served by this Company's main line nearer Lon don, either by means of the :rain line itser or c :well-devised lateral lines, than they are by the cheme of the Lor don and York, which, for the t, ke of passing through certain towns, pursues a devious route to York, thereby inflicting a serious injury on the country north of fee Humber. " Thus the .clieme of the Direct Northern Railway offers to the North of England, and to all Scoaand, advantages presented by no other project whatever. These advantages it also immediately con veys to Bedford, St. Neots, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Stamtbrd, Grantham, Newark, Lincoln, East Retrord, Sheffield, Gainsborough, Doncaster, Pontefract, Selby, and Hull ; whilst it lessens by twenty eight miles the roe e to Leeds, ti e great manufacturing capital of Yorkshire, itself rapidly becoming the centre of an important railway system. With perfectly unexceptionable gradients, that in no case ex ceed?. I 1 in 100, with upwards of sixty-nine miles of level on its main line, vfth 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 bricl,es, with only one viaduct, and that of sfo yards, and with remai kably easy curves, the Direct North ern It ilway, Wrilst its y objec':, is to unite in the directest manner London and York, will at the same time serve a rich, fertile, and populous country, will reciprocate the alvantages of easy and inexp nsive communication between the manufacturing towns of the north and the agricultural and grazing counties of eastern am. central England, and will connect by the shortast route the south of England and the'continent of Europe with York, the north of England, and Scotland. The shareholde:z will observe the suggestion trucle by Mr. Miller, which proposes to introduce a new element of safety, regnlarity, 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 session. " The Committee entirely concurwith Mr. Miller la the Important bearing which the llolborn Terminus project has on the Direct Northc - _•7 . It is in effect, though under different managemen`, an ex• tension of that lir a into the heart cCLondon. By its means the London Terminus of the Direct Northern Railway will be immediately avail able for the Most-office and the City of London generally (between Furnival's inn and Gray's-inn-lane), and will itsel ' 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, wi‘ h less sacrifice of valuable pro ,ercy, 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, an", at the same time, the most accessible and least expensive London terminus.. " The t. ommittee refer the shareholders to the map accompanying this Report; it fully shows the course and relations of the Direct Northeast Rdlway, and its national character. " Up to the 30th of November, all the standing orders of Parlia ment have bees compliel with ; and the sollciters report their per. feet ability to fulfil all that remains to be completed within the time limited by the Legislature. " Thus prepared, an 1 with deposits paid, and the proper deeds Signed by a body of most responsiole Shareholders, the Com mittee intend to make their applicatioa to Parliament at the earliest possible day, confident that a project of such undoubted public utility as the Direct Northern, in which the public se - :vice itself is deeply interested, will there receive what only needs to ensure its success —a fair and impartial hearing." T me 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 tlte Great Tower of York Minster, as measured along the earth's surface4s, according to the Ordnance Survey, 920,108., set, or very nearly 174 1 6 miles ; an I that the main line of the Direct Northern, between London and York, is 176 miles.

It is unnecessary in this Prospectus, to enlarge upon the advan tages of Life Assurance, or its adaptation to most of the exigencies and relations in life. These benefits have been so extensively pub lished, that they are already well understood and appreciated. This Company is formed for granting every description of Life Assurance, Annuity, and Endowment ; Loans either for long or short periods to persons effecting Assurances, upon receiving satis factory security for the payment of premium and interest, and the repayment of the principal, by instalments or otherwise, as may be agreed ; also for the purchase of Reversionary Interests, Policies of Assurance, and every other description of property. Persons borrowing money of the Company, upon approved se curity, and effecting a policy of Assurance for the amount bor rowed, will not be called upon for the repayment of the loan, so long as the interest and premium are regularly paid. Thus a party borrowing 1,000/. upon security of his estate, and an assignment of a policy on his life, would at his decease leave his estate unencum bered, the sum assured being applied by the Company to repay its advance. The premiums are based upon data derived from the most recent and authentic sources, presenting a moderate and equitably-adjusted scale. One of the principal objects of the Company is to assimilate its benefits as nearly as possible to those of Mutual Assurance Societies, with the additional security of a subscribed capital. With this ♦'ew, four-fifths of the profits, arising from Policies affected by parties on the terms of participation, will be divided every three years, after the first five years, among those who assure fer the whole term of life. The sum so divided among the Assured to be applied to the reduction of the annual premium, or added to the sum assured as bonus, or paid in present value, at the option of the Assured. For persons who may wish to assure for shor e t :w p te e or ri o ods sefeura , lm o e r mosi f na o tdi r ie_p th e e lv whole of life, without participation In the profits, a scale has been adopted, which is as moderate as it can be rendered consistently with the interests of the Company. Parties may also effect the assurance by payment of ens-half only of the premiums for a stipulated term- of years—the interest upon the unpaid portion of the premiums, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, being annually paid in advance. Upon payment 'of the arroar of the premiums, the Assured will be entitled to a full parti cipation of the profits. The .Assured may at all times borrow an amount equal to the value of the policy, on its security. In all the transactions of the Company the utmost liberality will be exercised. Life Assurances will be effected with all the advantages to the assured afforded by the most respectable established companies. A Table of Premiums will shortly be published. TONTINE ANNUITIES.

The attention of Equitable Policy Holders is particularly called to the HALF CREDIT SCALES of PREMIUM of this Company, by which table the bonus to be declared at the next investigation, in January, 1850; may be secured at a pfesent annual payment of one half the rates charged by other companies. In the event of death the sum insured will be paid less the amount of premiumsoucredit. Should the life insured survive the declaration of the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the Company will renounce all claim for the half premiums which may be due thereon, or, in the event of the party being at that time in bad health, the policy can be kept up by commencing to pay the full premium of the age as when first accepted. The above plan, originating with the Company, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last equitable division in 1540, when it was largely adopted. and many of the policies then effected are still in force, and latgo bonuses have been added to them on the seals of the following table; — Sum Assured.

The objects of this Association are twofold—the Insurance of Ships and the Advancing of Money by way of Loan, secured by mortgage on shipping. Each branch affords its own share of individual profit; but the two operations, judiciously combined, will evidently be pro ductive of highly remunerative results to the proprietary. The immense fortunes known to have been realised by individuals who have advanced money upon the security' of shipping, with an assignment of the policy of assurance, afford the beat guarantee of the soundness of the principle upon which the Association is founded. The almost incredible number of British shipping under mortgage, shown by the books of the Registrar-General of Customs, exhibits a wide field for the operations of the Association. The great bulk, if not all of these loans, have been obtained upon exorbitant terms by the small owner from his more wealthy neighbour, who may look rather to the obtaining possession of the vessel by foreclosure than to the eligibility of the security as an investment. . The Association will advance a sum of money, in no ease exceed ing two-thirds of the vessel's value, upon the report of its surveyors ; which loan shall be secured by mortgage upon the whose ship and earnings by freight, the policy of insurance effected with the Asso ciation remaining in its hands until the termination of the period Mr which the loan has been granted. Among the many aovantages it holds eut, the following are not the least: To the Shipowner, the certainty of obtaining, at a moderate rate, and without injury to his credit, pecuniary assistance when he meat requires it. The opportunity of relieving himself from mortgages bearing an exorbitant interest, and effecting them with the Association at an equitable rate. To the Shipbuilder, particularly when building for the market, either at home or in our colonies, by placing him in a position less dependent upon immediate sale at an unfavourable season. To both, a participation in the profits of the Association by be crming shareholders. The Association embodies the following advantages for its Pro prietary : The immediate certainty of securing a very large number of poli cies of insurance, since, although insurances will be taken without loans, no loan will be granted unless the policy be effected with the Association ; hence the double profit which will arise from these two sources. A total absence of risk to the shareholders. It may be added that an extensive connexion has been already formed in the leading outports, and insurance business to a large amount secured for the Association. The same machinery sufficing for the working of the double prin ciple here exhibited, the expenses of management will not exceed those of any ordinary marine insurance-office. The necessary Parliamentary notices for an Act of Incorporation have been duly given in the Gazettes of November, 1845. The whole sum required for the preliminary expenses has been advanced by the London members of the Committee of Management. Applications for shares, in the usual form, may be made. to the Committee of Management, and addressed to any of the above-named officers of the Association, to the solictors, or to any of the fbllowing agents, from whom more detailed prospeetuses may be. had :—Wm.

THE ATTRACTIVE MAN. By Mrs. TEOLLOPE.— This is a work (says the Sunday Times), in which Mrs. Trollops has drawn with a masterly hand, a character that is but too frequently met with in that class of so ciety termed fashionable ; it is that of a man of elegant exterior and fascinating manners, whose whole existence has been devoted to the science of ingratiating himself with all persons. The person whom this deeply ob servant writer has taken from the crowd that resembles him to sit for a picture of his class, is an adventurer, who obtains, by the secret'hi c h h e possesses of finding tedt h e z v n e a r n y , the way to people's hearts, admission into highest London society.
