This Line of Railway is projected for the purpose as well of esta blishing a communication by railway along the coast of an important maritime district, as of affording to the rich grazing and agricultural divisions of the county of Lincoln a more cheap and ready access to the London and Yorkshire markets, and of completing the eastern chain of railway communication through this important county. The advantages offered to the graziers and cattle traders of that part of Lincolnshire which supplies both the London and Yorkshire markets with so large a proportion of fat stock, and to the towns of Louth, Wainfleet, Alford, and Spilsby, by providing a more certain and ready transit for manufactured goods and articles of merchan dise, cannot be estimated too highly. The productive districts around these towns would also fully partici pate in the advantages of this communication wills the manufacturing and large consuming towns of Yorkshire, to which nearly the entire produce of corn and wool from such districts is now transmitted by a water carriage, so tedious, expensive, and uncertain of delivery, as materially to depress the price of produce in the markets of these towns, and to place such prod uc e a t gre at disadvantage as compared with that of other markets Possessing greater facilities of transit. A very considerable return-traffic in coals from the Yorkshire coal-fields would be obtained, and this article of absolute necessity, at present supplied to the population of this part of the country, at an expense seriously increased by th e diffi cu l t i es o f carriage, would be afforded Independently aa greatly oft r h ed eiti te l e oal advantages , d e price it is impossible to over • rate those of a more general, and even national character, n t with the projected improvements of the port of treat Grimsby, the 14 1 locattii Hf which (at the mouth of tt-. e Humber) affords facilities en perlosto any other cog reference to the Baltic and Hamburgh trades, WO the ma 4 b414/PFP 4Pdeft 414 the Northern Continental • In the &dial° of fish alone (in-the transit of which every hourls delay is of so much IMPOrtfince),•it is calculated that a great pro portion of the supply from the Northern Seas would necessarily be teAngnitted to the metropolis through this line. The also the important advantage of the cordial approval ' and support Of the principal landed proprietors through whose estates it will pass. The country Is peculiarly favourable, and the cheap construction, and the excellent gradients of the line, wilt permit of its heimr worked at aglow a cost as any in the kingdom. The Committee of Direction have authority to increase or reduce the Capital, and generally to adopt such measures as they may think necessary for obtaining the requisite Parliamentary powers to form a Company for the construction of the entire railway, or any portion thereof, with such brenellCS And extensions as they may hereafter find experliemt, and t o a pply the 4eppeits in discharge of an y liabilities which they may Incur gluier the Puef4 l POWers VOW 14 them for the prosecution of the undertaltillif.

The proposed line is intended to commence at a point on the Great North of England Railway, near Northallerton, taking part of the branch line to Richmond, now before Parliament, and diverging from it a short distance cast of its terminus, thence following the south side of the Tees Valley, up the Greta, over the line of the ancient Roman way to Brough, forward within a short distance of Kirkby Stephen, through the rich valley of the Eden, by way of Appleby, and to join the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway near to Clifton, south of Penrith. Diverting from this line, southward of Staininore, a branch will proceed through Ravenstonedale to join the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway between Orton and Borrow Bridge. The direc tion of the proposed line is north-west, following the mail-coach route from York 'to Carlisle, and involving the least sacrifice of distance in connecting together the two great trunk lines of rail way, the eastern and western sides of the island. The distance from Northallerton to Penrith will be sixty-one miles; of this fifty-five miles will be new railway, which, with the branch to:Orton, seventeen additional miles, will form a total distance of seventy-two miles. The capital will be 1,500,0001., in 30,000 shares of fifty pounds each. One-third-500,000/.—of which is placed at the disposal of the Lancaster and Carlisle Board, to be appropriated amongst the parties interested in that Company. The revenue will be derived front pas sengers travelling from all the eastern districts of the island south of Darlington to Scotland, and from the counties of Durham and Na thurnberland to Lancashire, and the west of England, and Ireland. In addition to the proceeds front passengers and goods, a very large income will accrue from the extensive mineral resources of the country. A better access will be made to the Lead Mines of Mid dleton-in-Teesdale, and to those in Westmorland. The line will run near a large district of iron -stone, and become the channel for the coal of Durham to pass into East Cumberland, Westmorland, the north-west of Yorkshire, and Lancashire north of the Wyre. It will form a' junction between the Baltic ports of the Wear and the TONI and the western ports of Lancaster, Fleetwood, and Liverpool. To increase the traffic to these large importing harbours, new docks are now snaking at Hartlepool, and the Tees river has been declared a " free port" to all vessels. There are no canals in the district, and no direct =paw "Al ways. The local traffic is now conveyed by casts, while the through trafiv Is cp,nye4;c4 Prom Manchester to Newcastle by York on the one sand, or by Carlisle on the other.

Full particulars are stated in the Prosp e ctus, whi at the office. ch, with every re quisite inform a ti o n, may be obtained on application PE M ORRISON, Managing Director. -------- To the PROPRIETOR 3 of the BRITANNIA LIFE ASSURANCE COM PAN Y. GENTLEMEN, —ln calling your attention to the annexed Notice of the establishment of a Mutual Assuraace Branch, I beg leave to address a few o b serv ations to you relative to the past transactions, and the probable result of the proposed extension of the operations of the Company. That the " Britannia" Company has enjoyed the decided and (I trust I may be permitted to say) deserved approbation of the public, is clearly proved by the unprecedented fact of upwards of 6,000 policies having been issued in the short apace of eight years. In order, however, to show the high degree of correct and influence pos sessed by the Company, it is only necessary e to state, that two highly respectable and well-established Life Assurance Companies hitherto b t een compelled to decline, that have successively transferred their business to this establishment. The former of these transfers took place in the year 1840 ; the latter in the course of the past year. It is in consequence of this last-mentioned transfer, which included a large number of Policies effected on the mutual assurance plan, and also in consequence of then mus applications for Assurances on on the establishment of a Mutual Assurance Branch, on th e plan set . forth_ in the Prospectus, after it had been submitted to, and unanimously approved by, two succes sivegs of Propr e ors, General Meetin t t h h o is p p i l r a o n o , to w r i s il a ci t i le t t h w e t y h h d a o s t - o e rm iitih specially convened on the occasion. Societies, that (in their that infancy, at least) they do not affordbs complete security to the Payment of the claims of Assured which is supplied by the sne!ibed capital •of Proprietary Establishments, is completely removed in the Mutual Branch of the " Britannia" Company ; for not only are the Mutual Policy-holders The general objection to Mutual Assurance protected by the entire subscribed capital of the Proprietary Branch, but tile large and continually-incrring fund, accumulated from the continually- Premiums on 6,000 Policies already effected in that Branch, consti tuter; the Assured, who will thus enjoy d ell security afforded by an old le time, established office, and, at tile san benefits to be derived from that system of Mutual Assurance which experience has proved to be at the sainulteuttme the safest and the best. Another serlollll °Wootton ratese f lI at Assurance Plan (as gene ts the high atoapreandlium required to be paid, in tuteS all inunediately available Am._ Tally acted on) the first instance, in order to folfi —not only for the payment of the claims, but also for the a _ aois distribution of large bonuses among the policy-holders.

For, by allowing half the amount of the firS,t AYR . 1 Premiums to remain for ftve the person assured, years in the lia‘lcls and applying the bonus (to which tie ii;olild otherwise become with the entitled) t° the gradual liquida tion of the debt thus incurrea very ompany, the policy-holder 1.

The Alarm was christened by Miss Arthur, the daughter of the captain superintendent of the dock, in the present* of a very large muster of naval and military officers and a vast con: course pf civilians. The weather was beautiful yo the extreme, and when the frigate was loosed from the slip the scene was of the most animating description, the several vessels of war in the- harbour being gaily decorated with flags. Her dimensions are tor rectly described as follows :—Length between the perpendieu. lars, 131 feet ; length of the keel per tonnage, 106 feet inch ; extreme breadth, 40 feet 6 inches ; burden in tons, 911 12 94. She was originally intended to have been launched on the Bth instant, and named by one of the daughters of the late Admiral White, but owing to the sudden demise of that lamented officer, it was postponed. She will be forthwith taken into dry dock, and it is expected will be immediately put in commission. The launch of the Lady Petrie, Indiaman, which is upwards of 600 tons burthen, took place at half-past two o'clock, from the yard of Messrs. Cur. ling and Young, at Limehouse. She is the property of Mr. J. Somes, M.P., the extensive shipowner. Lady Petrie officiated In naming the vessel after herself, and as the noble craft glided into old Father Thames, the bands of the Grenadier Guards and the Royal Thames Yacht Club struck up the national anthem. The company then partook of a sumptuous repast provided by the api. rited owner. A paragraph appeared in the Chronicle of the 29th ult., announcing that Sir Thomas Hare had ordered the game on his estate to be destroyed. We are enabled, on competent authority, to say that if such an order has been given, no steps have been taken to execute it, but that at this season, when, - if it were intended to do it at all, they ought to be cleared away, as many hares are left for breeding as in any former year. From ten to sixteen hares -may be seen in a single field, and as many in the neighbouring estates of Mr. Bagge, M.P., Mr. Villebois, Mr. Pratt, &c. It is whispered in the neighbourhood, that the order in question was never actually given, but the report circulated to pacify the tenants; and it is said a meeting of the game preservers of the district was held at Mr. Villebois', of Marham, to discuss the sub ject. The result of their deliberations has not transpired, except in the practical shape of the tenants being devoured by the game. The tenants complain that in a great mt&t rity of cases 'they have expended their capital in improve ments, under the impression that they should not suffer from game, and now, when they cannot leave their farms without sacrificing their investment, they are burdened with game, and suffer a grievance for which they can obtain no.compen cation. We are assured that many tenant-farmers of that neighbourhood have been deterred from throwing up their farms only by the consideration we have mentioned, but that the evil is becoming so serious, that on a calculation of profit and loss merely, some of them will be compelled to sacrifice their capital rather than be eaten up for the profit or amuse ment of their landlords.—Norwich Mercury. The Chancellor of the Exchequer received a depu tation from the Irish banks on Wednesd'iy morning, at which, as is reported, the gentlemen who attended received an assurance that the small note currency is not to be abolished. This agreed with what occurred at the Forfarshire meeting of Scotch banks, but there can be little doubt but that the issue of small notes, if it does continue, will be placed under very stringent regulations. EAST INDIA HOUSE.—Wednesday a Court of Direc tors was held at the East India House, when Henry Dickinson, Esq., was appointed a provisional councillor for Madras, on the vacancy occasioned by the decease of John Dent, Esq. WESTMINSTER SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY.—The an nual dinner of the gentlemen epucated on this foundation took place on Wednesday, at the Thatched House Tavern, St. Jones's. street. We have to announce the death of Mr. James Balftiiii., of Whittingham, N. 8., father of Mr. J. M. Balfour, M.P., who died at Whittingham House, Dunbar, on Satur day, after a protracted illness. The deceased gentleman married in 1815, Lady Eleanor, second daughter of the late Earl of Lauderdale, by whom he leaves issue a family of several children. Mr. J. M. Balfour, M.P., succeeds to a very considerable funded property, as well as landed estates, by his father's death. lilr. and Lady Mary Stanley, the Earl of Lauderdale, the lion. Sir Anthony Maitland, C.B, and several families of rank, are placed in mourning by the demise of that estimable gentleman. • THE WEST INDIA MAIL.—The Romvan6 Mail Company's steam-ship, Capt.
