" By the scheme promoted by the Direct Norther* Railway Com pany it is proposed to bring York (to the north of which city there is a population 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 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 21% 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-devised lateral lines, than they are by the , theme 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, Stanford, 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 I 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, and that of 500 yards, and with remarkably easy curves, the Direct North ern itillway, 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 inexpensive 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 made 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 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. By its means the London Terminus of the 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 solicitors report their per fect ability to fulfil all that remains to be completed within tytAime limited by the Legislature. " Thus prepared, and with deposits paid, and tite proper •abeds. signed by a body of most responsible ShareholderS, the— Corn tilttee intend to make their application to Parliament at the earliest possible day, confident that a project of such undoubted public 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 comparld - witlOts petitors for legislative sanction, and with existingri., • q• 7 ry It may here be obseed, that the distance be Ash Vie" cross or 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 M miles; and that the main line of the Direct Northern, between London and York, is 176 miles.

The importance of this project, both national] d locally, has de termined its promoters to bring it before the pu at the present moment, notwithstanding the difficulties which at t sight would appear to stand in the way of its success. - The title of the scheme is sufficiently explicit to put the public in possession of its merits without a detailed statement enumerating them. Arrangements are in progress with the Canal Company for, its solute purchase, 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 of the London and Birmin gham Railway, yielded a dividend of about 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 Erie 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, Warwick, and Worcester, the London and Birmingham Ex tension, and the Warwick and Worcester Railway Companies; those Companies having agreed 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 Parliameat for its Act of Incorporation in the session of 1846. Preference will be given in the allotment of shares to parties locally interested, to shareholders in the Warwick and Birmingham Canal, and the Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester, the London and Birming ham Extension, and the Warwick and Worcester Railway Companies, The time within which parties must apply for Shares will expire on the 24th of January, 1846. In the event of 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.

The Committee have the satisfaction of announcing to the public that they have fully eomplied with this 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 the Proceedings that have aY yet taken place have been ef .fected at a cost of one-fourth lesEthan that of any other line of si milar extent. Should either the 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'ik at the short distance of seventeen miles from Lincoln (only half an hour's travelling), afford the most direct way to London, at the slime time, by its connexion with either the Hull or the Grimsby ,it will present at once the nearest aid most direct communi- Tation between . London and Hull. ' The certified cost of tomtit* anti cionpletifig fie" tine throughout from Lincoln to Granthamv supposing that neitli& the London and York Railway nor the Direct Northern Railway should be formed, would be 275,000/. ; but should either of those lines be passed, the expense of fivemiles, including a tunnel, the only one in the route, will be saved, thus reducing the expense necessary to be incurred to 170,0001., a sum less in amount than has ever been expended by any railway of a similar extent, and possessing features of such great prospective advantage. 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. Immediately 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 preation 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 subscribed 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 Parliament, that the deposits will be returned free of any deduction.

Tunnelling 2,024 yds. From an examination of the preceding, it "rill be seen that the line of the Boston, NtWark, and Sheffield Railway, a s a communi cation between BoSton and Sheffield, while it connects Boston and Sleaford with Newark, which the others do net, has the ad vantages over its opponents of 11 miles in distance, 8,409 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. On the two other routes compared Jib."' the advantagseidse,atshtaot gradients and tunnelling greatly prep onderate on the same of the Boston, Newark, and She ffi eld Ra h way; and these, according to a, principle lately most prominently announced by a greet railway P.uthority—" that the best railway is not always the shortest, but that which works best "—much more tha n c ompensates for its greater length of about three miles. Besides, there are fourteen miles and a half of the route from Not tingham to Boston, via the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield Railway, already in the course of construction by the Midland Company, thereby rendering it necessary for the opposing lines to make eleven miles additional railway with very heavy gradients, in order to s ave three miles and a half in their distance, as compared with the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield line. A more minute statement of the comparative merits of these lines, whichsis now preparing, rill; it fs confidently, aaticipated. set at rest all doubts as to the superior eiuzineetirrg mail , of tho BoitOn, Newark, and Sheffield Railway, over its rival schemes, and establish its Parliamentary claims on an incontrovertible basis.

It is unnecessary in this Prospectus, to enlarge npon 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, se long as the interest and premium are regularly paid. Thus a party borrowing 1,0001. 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 view, 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 for 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 short periods, or fbr the 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 one-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 arrear of the premiums, the Assured will be entitled to a fall 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. ♦ Table of Premiums will shortly be published. TONTINE ANNUITIES. This Company, in submitting the subject of Tontine Annuities to the public, is influenced by the belief that there 'are many persona, who from the hope of longevity, and the desire of ease and affluence as they progress through life, Will gladly avail themselves of this mode of investment; —by which they will.secure a large remunera tive and increasing income, guaranteed to them by the Company daring their own lives or the lives of their nominee. The following is an illustration of the principle of the Tontine An nuities 1,000 persons subscribe 100/, each, they or their respec tive nominees, being if an age to enter the class in which the en mity granted is 61: per cent. per annum, each subscriber or nominee will, during the continuance of all the lives, receive an annuity of 6/. ; but as the lives drop, the share of the deceased parties will be divided among the survivors, until they are reduced to six, ea c h of whom will then receive 1,0001. per annum for life ; but as they re spectively die off, the 1,0001. per year which the deceased party re ceived will fall into the funds of the Company, for the benefit of the shareholders ; and so in proportion for a larger or smaller number of subscribers or their noniinees. 'his mode of itiVestment will place it in the power of almost eve ry individual, at some period of life , by prudently and legitimately ap propriating a comparatively small sum of money, which in many in stances would be otherwise uselessly expended, to sebure indepen dence and comfort in their declining years. Parents may also by these means provide for their children.

Dublin-12, Lower Sackville-street ; Manager, J. B. Bankhead, Esq. 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 best 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 case exceed ing two-thirds of the vessel's value, upon the report of its surveyors ; which loan shall be secured by mortgage upon the whole ship and earnings by freight, the policy of insurance effected with the Asso ciation remaining in its hand■ until the termination of the period for which the loan has been granted. . . — Among the many advantages it holds eat, 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 ho most 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 mty 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 following agents, from whom more detailed prospectuses may be had :—Wm.
