DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY. ONDON and YORK RAILWAY. A Several advertisements having of late appeared, headed "DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY," and having attached thereto the names of Sir John Rennie, Mr. Gravatt, Major Amsinc, and others, in which it is asserted—that by the Direct Northern Line the distance from London to York will be twenty miles less than by the line proposed by this Company—that the scheme to connect London with York originated with, and was first projected by, Sir John Rennie and Company—and that upwards of seventy miles of their scheme has been appropriated by the London and York Company—the Committee of Direction feel called upon, in justice to themselves and the shareholders, to give these assertions the most direct and unqualified contradiction. To the first they reply—that the difference in distance between the projected lines from London to York, instead of being twenty miles, is not more than two miles and a half. Sir John Rennie's, by his own account being 180 miles in length—that of the London and York being in reality upon the line, as finally laid down, 185} miles. _ _ L ONDON AND YORK RAILWAY. NOTICE. The PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE of the DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY from LONDON to YORK by LINCOLN, having before them an advertisement pub lished in the Morning Papers of this day, headed " LONDON and YORK RAILWAY," and signed " J. It. Mowatt, Secre. tary," and observing the very discourteous spirit which pervades it, feel that they might have contented themselves by simply giving a peremptory denial to the statements contained therein, so far as they impugn the prospectus and line put forth by this Committee, of which they are prepared fully to establish the integrity at the proper time and before the proper tribunal; yet the Committee, thinking that it is due to the public to furnish a specific reply to the aforesaid statements, now proceed to do so as follows : SCRIP CERTIFICATES are ready to bo issued to the Sitars hollers at the Offices of the Company, 7, Lothbury, London, in EX for their BANKERS' DEPOSIT RECEIPTS, The Parliameetary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement will lie hero daily for signature, and must be duly executed before tlae scrip certificates will be delivered. The Deposit Receipts must b• left at this Office in Mondays, Tues days, and Wednesdays, between the hours of eleven and three o'clock, and the scrip certificates will be delivered iu exchange three clear days afterwards, viz., on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, between the same hours only. Early notice will be given when the Subscribers' ♦greement and Parliamentary Contract will lie far signature at Liverpool, llanches , ter, 'Pork, and other principal towns. J. R.

That the pro. ject fora new railway from London to York was formed by Mr. Gibbs in 1836, and in that year carried into, Parliament. ANSWER. I. This was not a 'direct line from Lon don to York, but went by Cambridge, with a London termi inns at Whitechapel. PROOF. The Parliamentary notices in the " Lon don Oazette" and the Records of Parlia ment. 2. That in 1840 Mr. Gibbs again brought his scheme before the Parliamen. tary Commissioners, and it is detailed by them in their Report in 1841. 2. This scheme was ; still by Cambridge. Report of Commis. sioners in 1841. 3. Admitted that Mr. Gibbs never aban doned his scheme by Cambridge. 4. Denied that this The City article of advertisement related the " Morning Post" to the above project of of the 12th of April, Mr. Gibbs. 1844, contains, The promoters of amongst other re the Direct Northern marks on the subject, Railway, on the 4th the following:— of April, 1844, pub- " The formation of lished and extensively a direct railway from circulated the prospec- London to York, by tus and plan of their way of Lincoln, for present line, having its the purpose of con- London terminus at netting the North of King's .cross,and going England and Scotland direct to York; and with the metropolis, as a subject of public has been decided on. importance and inte- Prospectuses have rest, it was noticed by been issued, together the press. with snaps explana. tory of the mode of proceeding intended. It appears that the pro posed line is to commence near King's-cross, in the New.road, and, independently of any other line, to take its course through Hert ford, Bedford, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Stamford, Sleaford, and the other important towns, to Lincoln and York; the distance by the adoption of this line being less by nearly 40 miles than it can be travelled by any existing railway. The capital required for the execution of the work is estimated at or under 4,000,0007., the length of line being 180 miles. The work will be placed under the superintendence of Sir John Rennie and Mr. William Gravatt, Civil Engineers"— 3. That such scheme was never abandoned by him (Mr. Gibbs). 4. That on the 16th of April, 1844, " the project" was announc. ed by advertisement in the" Times," under the name of the Great, Northern Railway, l l before any advertise ment of Sir John Ren. nie had appeared. And the following is extracted from the "Times" city article, ♦pril 15, 1844 : " A Direct Northern Railway from London to York by Lincoln, having in view the connexion of the North of England and Scot land, by York and Lincoln, with the metropolis, is also another project recently started. The line is to commence from King's cross, pass through Chipping Barnet, Biggleswade, St. Neots, Huntingdon, and Peterborough, to Lincoln, and thence by Gains borough, Thorne, Snaith, and Selby to York. The capital required is 4,000,0001., in 1001. shares. Among the advantages which it is stated this route will possess, are—that the distance between Lon don and York will be 39 miles less than by the existing railways ; that it will reduce the distance between London and Edinburgh 39 miles ; and that it will be the nearest way to Leeds, Selby, Hull, Hali, fax, Bradford, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Pontefract, and Sheffield, 5. The advertise. ment gives " the most direct and unqualified contradiction" to the assertion that the scheme of a new rail. way to connect Lon. don with York, ori ginated with, and was first projected by, Sir John Rennie and Co. 5. There have been many schemes for con.J netting London with York by railway ; but Sir John Rennie and this Committee do cer tainly claim to have originated and first projected the connec tion with these cities, as well as the North of England and Scot land with London, by a Direct Main Trunk Railway. Publication of the Plan and Prospectus of the Direct Northern Railway, on the 4th of April, 1844. See above. Further, the Messrs. Rennie, in 1827, about the time they were engaged in car rying the Liverpool and Manchester Bail. way Bill through Par. liament, laid down a plan of a direct line from London to York by Lincoln, and have never abandoned that project. 6. The advertise ment states " that the difference in distance between the two pro jected lines from Lon don to York, instead of being 20 miles, is not more than 5i miles" (in favour of Sir John Rennie's 6. This can only) have been accom plished, as this Corn. mittee are advised, by a further appropria tion of Sir John lien. nie's line, and a fur ther abandonment of Mr. Gibbs's line of 1836,1640,and 1841. Maps in Messrs. riennie's office, pro. duced to this Com mittee. In the "Stamford Mercury" of the 30th of August, 1844, is a report of a public meeting held at Stam ford, containing the following as part of a speech by Mr. Francis Mowatt, Vice-Chair man of the London and York Railway : line) ; and also that the line of the London and York Company is' in reality upon the line, as finally laid down, 185} miles. " The trunk line was, in round numbers, 200 miles, and its ramifications would be still more extensive." This report is sub sequent in date to an advertisement of the London and York Rail. way Company, in the " Railway Times" of the 27th of July, 1844, which contains these words :—" The precise line throughout has been determined on in a manner satisfactory to the landed and other interests, and in a few days the Proprietors will receive a sketch of the line, with particulars, from the Engineer's (Mr. Locke's) Report." Apply to the above a common process in arithmetic : Miles. Length of line, as stated by Mr. Mowatt 2OO Length of Sir John Rennie's line Whether this difference of five and a half miles can be realised by Sir John Rennie's line is yet to be proved, and, if realised, whe. ther such a difference would be compensated for by the London and York line having its course through the towns of Hitchiss, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Grantham, Newark, Tuxford, Retford, Bawtry, and Doncaster, not one of which is approached by Sir John Rennie's line, the public will be able to determine. To the second and third allegations the Committee of Direction of the London and York Company reply, that while Sir John Ren. nie and Co. state that their surveys were commenced in October, 1843, and their prospectus published in April last, the project for a new railway between London and York was formed by Mr. Gibbs in 1836, and in that year carried into Parliament. That in 1840 Mr. Gibbs again brought his scheme before the Parliamentary Commis sioners, and it Is detailed by them in their report of 1841. That such scheme was never abandoned by him, but in February of the present year the details of the London and York Railway, as now, with modifications adopted, were explained by him to Mr. Beckett Denison, M.P , who suggested several alterations, and Mr. Francis Mowatt, the Vice-Chairman, and arrangements were made for per fecting the plan by levels and surveys, which were completed in the month of March following, and on the 16th of April the project was announced by advertisement in the Times, under the name of the " Great Northern Railway," before any advertisement of Sir John Rennie had appeared ; and the Committee of Direction dis. tinctly affirm that the course over the first seventy miles from London was adopted on actual surveys made by Mr. Gibbs, and not suggested to them by any other parties ; and they beg further to observe, it is only now within these few days, that after the Lon. don and York Company has been before the public for a period of five months, after its whole capital of five millions has been sub. scribed, ana its shares has attained a high premium in the market, that Sir John Rennie and Company have come forward with what is intended to be a counter.project, and with the misstatements here disposed of. All comment upon this course would, in the opinion of the Com mittee, be idle. Subjoined, for the information of the Shareholders and the public, is an accurate table of the actual distances, and also a list of the Provisional Committee of the London and York Company, pub lished in May last, including names that will be taken by the pub lic as a guarantee against any such conduct as is implied by the as sertions of Sir John Rennie and Co.

The steady success and increasing prosperity of the Society kits enabled the Directors, at the last annual investigation f r declare a second Bonus, averaging 60 per cent. on the amounts live edea each Policy effected on the Profit scale. 4FDWARD PRICE and CO. beg respectfully to request that all parties wishing to purchase their COMPO SITE CANDLES will ask in the shops simply for " Price's Patent Candles." Since these have attracted public attention, many Imita tors have made candles, and called them by the name " Composite," used by Edward Price and Co.; but the process by which the real Composite Candles are made, being a patent one ; and E. P. and Co. granting no licenses, none of these imitation candles are at all the same as the real ones. The chief properties of these latter are their burning, without snuffing, more brilliantly than the best wax, and their affording so large an amount of light, that they are cheaper, taking this into account, than the commonest tallow candles, one of them giving the light of three ordinary moulds. They may he had of most of the respectable tallow-chandlers throughout the kingdom, and are supplied to the trade wholesale by Edward Prise and Co., Bel mont, Vauxhall ; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell.

In conclusion, this Com. mittee cannot but call attention to the announced fact, that the line adopted is, with modifications, that of Mr. Gibbs, thus conveying that the London and York Company are not indebted for their line, as finally laid down, either to Mr. Walker, the distinguished Engi. neer to the first line, ♦iz., the Cambridge and York via Lincoln Railway ; or to Mr. Locke, who has just resigned his office; or to Mr. Cubitt, who is at present advertised as the Engineer.in.Chief to the Company; but to Mr. Gibbs, whose name has not previously appeared as professionally connected with the London and York Railway Company.—By order of the Committee, WILLIAM AMSINCK, Secretary, Direct Northern Railway office, 64, Moorgate. street, London, Oct. 3, 1844. POST-OFFICE-CAUTION. PRICE and CO., perfumers to her Majesty, 28, Lombard-street (late Price and Gosnell's, and formerly Patey, Butts, Price, and Co's.), by the recommendation of the Se. cretary of the Post.office, beg to " impress upon their Corre spondents tke necessity of precision in the address of all letters in. tended for them," thus—" Price and Co." (and not " Price and Gosnell"--that firm ceased to exist in 1831), as the only means of guarding against the fraudulent conduct of individuals who take in and retain letters and orders intended for Price and Co., by il. legally assuming the firm of " Price and Gosnell," well knowing that they never were in any way connected with that firm OTHERWISE THAN AS SERVANTS. Price and Co.'s Perfumery is so superior to any other, and in such general demand, that many shopkeepers are basely deceiving the Publie by selling spurious imitations. Price and Co. respect.. fully solicit Ladies and Gentlemen when they purchase not to take any article without the protection label, from a design by Sir William Cengreve, being affixed to it, with the signature of " Price and Co., Lombard.street," in red ink, and " 25" conspi. cuously in its centre.

The Bouquet Duke of York is the last new fashionable perfume of the season 1844 ; but though the last, is not the least in perfection, as it happily combines the preceding excellence of all the royal bouquets, with the delicate and delicious fragrance of the white moss rose. Let hive who is a true born gentleman, And stands upon the honour of his birth, If he suppose that I have pleaded truth— From off this briar pluck a white rose with me. Messrs. J. Delcroix and Co., 158, New Bond-street, have pleasure In offering this their last bouquet of the season, and beg to inform the Nobility and their Patrons that, during the recess, all orders for their " unique cadeau" of a case containing the six royal bou quets for one guinea, comprising the bouquets de la Reine, d'Albert, Prince of Wales, Duke of York, Princesse Royale, and Princesse Alice, will be forwarded to any part of the country, carriage paid.

SHAVING A LUXURY. PRICE and CO.'s RYPOPHAGON surpasses every soap ever invented for shaving. One trial will prove that the luxury of a good shave can be enjoyed only by those who use Price and Co.'s Rypophagon, which renders shaving (hitherto disagreeable and often painful) pleasant and easy.

TIM EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—The Directors of the Eastern Counties Railway having determined on an extension of their line to Bury, via Newmarket, sub mitted the plans of two lines to the Jockey Club on Wednesday last for their opinion, one being proposed to pass to the left of the race course, the other to the right of the town. The Club was almost unanimously in favour of the former. It is stated that the line may be com pleted in about two years., The following new Stake is proposed for Wednesday, in the Newmarket Craven Meeting, 1845 :—A Handicap Sweepstakes of 20 sous. each, h ft, with 100 added by the inhabitants, for four yrs old and upwards; the second to receive 1501. out of the stakes ; 100 Subs., or no race ; Beacon or Claremont Course.

SHIPWRECK OF THE WINDSOR CASTLE STEAMER. (From the Caledonian Mercury.) We refrain in the meantime from expressing any opinion on the circumstances which led to this melancholy catastrophe. It cannot, however, be dis guised, that at the time it happened the sea was com paratively calm ; that the beacon against which the vessel struck is one with which all who have the least pretension to knowledge of that passage must be thoroughly acquainted, and, knowing it to be a dangerous point, those in charge of the Windsor Castle should be able to give some satisfactory ex planation to the public, otherwise all confidence in such means of conveyance will be withdrawn. From the inquiries we have made, we learn that the vessel was, at the time of the accident, under the command of Captain Greig, and that Mr. Black, who early in the summer brought the Windsor Castle round the north of Scotland from the Clyde, was acting as pilot. It is said that the steamer, in consequence of the smoothness of the sea, had made more progress than was calculated upon, and that the leading light on the Island of May was not distinctly seen, the atmosphere being hazy at the time, and that these two causes combined to mislead the pilot, and make him think he was farther out at sea than he really was. Several seafaring men have given it as their opi nion, that had the Windsor Castle struck the North Carr Rock stern on, she would immediately hare split in two, and all on board would have been consigned to a watery-grave. As it was, it ap pears the vessel, which is made of iron, made a sliding stroke over the rock, and that one of the iron stauncheons of the beacon had, by the con cussion, opened up the joining of two Nplhaitces h theu n immediately under the bulk-head, through v i d ) e t l h p e_ less and imminent da n g er, that it was agreed on all hands they were saved i n a manner entirely miraculous and providential. water s rushed orfus soulshed into on the board vessel, i n a The Windsor Cast le, we believe, was built on the position of of such ean Clyde in 1838, and was generally considered one of the strongest iron vessels of her size afloat. Tuesday was to have been the last of her double trip s thi s year. Unfortunately, it appears to have been her last for ever ! TIIE OTAIIEITAN VICTORY.—The French Protec torate at Otaheite may be considered as at an end. The natives have decided that point. The " Battle of Ma haena" has been a murderous one, and it will not have added to the glory of France. It appears that the Otaheitans were the victors ; and when offers of peace were subsequently made by Governor Bruat, the answer returned was, "Before any propositions would be con sidered, the French Governor must restore to life their murdered countrymen."—Patriot.

The intelligence received vi 4 Pernambuco was, therefore, premature, if not incorrect. It needed very little knowledge of the state of the various interests concerned, to pronounce decidedly that the alleged basis of a total emancipation of the Brazilian slaves was wholly improbable. After the emphatic declaration of Sir Robert Peel, that he would be no party to the admission of slave-grown produce to compete with that of our own colonies, our merchants, who had made up their minds that all avenues to a new arrangement with Brazil, after No vember, were entirely shut, were much surprised at the sudden announcement of a fresh treaty, more fa vourable to their trade than the existing one. We regret that it is our duty to state that we have every reason to believe, from the best autho rity, that no such treaty has been, or is likely to be, negotiated. Up to the present hour no correct in telligence has been received that such a treaty has been concluded ; and, we may further add, that whatever treaty may be the result of the present negotiations, it will be limited to a new and totally different basis—a basis of the narrowest and most un satisfactory dimensions. We are given to under stand that, in the best-informed quarters, it is ru moured that the efforts of the negotiators are now limited to a treaty, from which the forbidden article of sugar is totally excluded. Although coffee, which is at present a staple pro duct of Brazil, is slave-grown as well as sugar, the latter article, in accordance with the subtle distinc tions drawn by Mr. Gladstone in discussing the sugar duties, is still to be prohibited. The only object of such a treaty is therefore to prevent, if possible, any differential duties from being struck against us next year; for, of course, no extension of our Brazi lian trade can be looked for, unless Brazilian sugar is to be admitted into our markets. Under such circum stances, the completion of the treaty, come when it may, will not be hailed by the public with any feel ings of exultation, for at the best it can but keep us as we are in the article of sugar. As it is probable, however, that the Brazilians will not consent to modify in our favour any tariff which they may have projected, unless considerable reductions are granted in the duties on their other commodities, it follows 7 1 !". that we may expect some relief in the price of coffee, the speculators in which article ought, therefore, to be on the alert. Such, then, is the abortive result, after two years' labours, of the Brazilian negotiations of the Tories—a Brazilian treaty, from which sugar is to be excluded! It is hardly necessary to add, that the slave ques• tion has been passed ovar, sub silentio, in those dis cussions ; the Tory conscience permitting the con sumption of slave-grown coffee, but revolting at the idea of slave-grown sugar, and the Brazilian con science making reprisals by a differential duty, a sort of compromise will be effected which cannot lead to any great or permanently satisfactory results. — Liverpool Mercury. COURT OF SEWERS. A Court of Sewers for the City and Liberty of Westminster, and part of the county of Middlesex, was yesterday held at the Sewers-office, 1, Greek street, Soho-square. The chair was taken at twelve o'clock by Thomas Leverton Donaldson, Esq. The only matter of any general interest in the day's proceedings, namely, the consideration of the steps to be immediately taken to restore the dilapidated parts of the main line of the Ranelagh sewer, in Glouces ter-road, Paddington, was deferred till next Friday, in order to have the report of Messrs. Tite and Ren nie upon the subject. These gentlemen were to have reported upon the causes of the failure at this meeting, but a letter was read, stating that in consequence of the difficulties involved, they should not be ready to lay their opinion before the Court until the 7th of the month. After some routine business, such as reading sur veyors' reports, inspecting book of informations and of bad materials, examining bills, &c., the Court adjourned. MONUMENT TO SIR SIDNEY SMITH AT PARIS. A monumental pillar of beautiful marble has just been erected in Pere-la-Chaise to the memory of this celebrated warrior, by his surviving friends, resident at Paris. The pillar, which is 15 feet in height, is square at the base, slightly declining in the ascent. Surmounting the inscription are the coat of arms of the deceased, with the motto " Forward." The fol lowing is a copy of the words of the inscription : " Peace to the Hero who undaunted stood Where Acre's sheets were red with Turkish blood ; In warlike France, where great Napoleon rose, The man who cbeek'd his conquests finds repose. England, who claims his triumphs as her own, has raised for him her monumental stone. This tomb, which marks his grave, is now supplied By friends with whom he lived, with whom he died— A tribute to his memory. Here beneath Lies a bold heart of England—Sidney Smith." ANALYSIS OF PULMONARY TUBERCLE. Six grammes of firm tuberculous matter were found to afford the following principles, and in the following proportions : Grms. Decigrs. Albumen ...... Gelatine 2 ---- - Fibrine Water (or loss). . One hundred parts of crude pulmonary tubercle were found to consist of— Animal matter ...... Chloride of sodium .... Phosphate of lime.. 1 85 Carbonate of lime. Oxide of iron a trace.. From the above it would seem that tubercle consists principally of albumen and fibrine, constituents of healthy blood ; but it is probable that these, with a small proportion of gelatine, are integrated, and pro bably aggregated in, in some peculiar manner, to admit of their being separated and deposited upon certain tissues—the serous and mucous, for instance —as tubercular matter. We cannot admit tubercle to originate in a morbid action of the secerning ves sels of the tuberculated organs, because the tubercles have been observed gradually separating from the blood, and forming into masses. Admitting the correctness of these views, evidently the first indication in the cure of phthisis is to correct the morbid condition of the blood, by which the sepa ration and localisation of tubercular deposit will be arrested, and ultimately wholly prevented. The morbid conditions of the fluids, and more particularly of the blood, are best corrected by medicines, which, from the peculiarity of their action, were at one time named " alteratives."— Venables on Xrated Medi cines in the Treatment of Inveterate Diseases : Art., Phthisis. ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY'S STUD.—Yesterday afternoon, at half-past three o'clock, the Dundee, Perth, and London Shipping Company's splendid steam-ship Dundee, Captain James Kidd, arrived at Hore's steam packet wharf, Wapping, from Dundee. She brought nearly a full complement of first and second cabin pas sengers, not a few of whom required the kindly aid of Mr. Robertson, the steward, during the passage. The stewardess was not less attentive. The tempestuous weather on Wednesday night and Thursday morning, caused many sojourners in the Perthshire Highlands for the past three weeks, and who were passengers south ward by the Dundee, to disgorge everything their stomachs contained of Scottish hospitality. For a time, royalty, as well as loyalty to the sovereign, was altoge ther forgotten; but "Athol brose," along with other effective medicine, administered by Mr. Robertson, the steward, speedily effected a cure. The demand- for soda water, by a privileged few to the kindlier considerations of the landlord of the inn of Blame Athol, was unprece dented, at least, we have so been informed by one of the passengers. The Dundee brought, and landed in safety, at Ilore's commodious steam-packet wharf, her Majesty's stud, consisting of sixteen carriage and sadtrinheoer along with her favourite mountain pony, and Al bert's two shooting Highlandpon o ie f s. ap pearance of the hitherto dwellers rocaar,arliasgtueds..

Ely, of Broomfield Vicarage, near Chelms ford, having inquired of the Poor-law Commissioners whether the register of the baptism at the parish church was in itself of sufficient evidence to prove the settle ment of the parties baptised, the Commissioners reply : " The register of baptism is not of itself sufficient evi dence to prove the place of birth of any person, with a view to ascertaining his settlement, although it may be adduced as one of the circumstances tending to prove it (R. v. North Petherton, 5 B and C, 508 ; R. v. Lubben , ham, 5 B and Ad. 968)."—Chelmsford Chronicle.
