ONDON and YORK RAILWAY. , 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 tuo 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, 1851 miles. 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 Hitchia, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Grantham, Newark, Tuxford, Retford, Bawtry, and Doncaster, not one of which is approached by Sir Joh■ Rennie's line, the public will be able to determine, To the second and third allegations the Committee of Direction o 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 1540 afr, Gibbs again brought his scheme before the Parliamentary Commis.. sinners, and it is detailed by them in their report of 1841. That such scheme was never abandoned by hire, kit in February of the present year the details of the London and York Railway ? gs now, with modifications adopted, were explained by him to Mr. Beckett Denison, M.P , who suggested several alterations, and ➢lr. Francis ➢lowatt, 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 bad appeared : and the Committee of Direction dis_ tinctly affirm that the course over the first seventy iwiles from London was adopted on actual surveys made by Mr. Gibbs, and not suggested to them by any other pai • ttos ; 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 peripj of five months, after its whole capital of five millions has been sub. scribed, and 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 inis.stoteate4ts 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.

I RAND SPORTING PARTIES at HOM kg lr BURG, near FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE. The Casino of Homburg is the only Establishment on the Banks of the Rhine which is open all the year. The great number of fashion able visitors who have engaged apartments, and the gorgeous prepa rations of the administration, announce a more than ever brilliant season this winter. Foreigners receive permissions for the great sporting parties which take place twice a week. In consequence, the Managers, shrinking from no sacrifice to render this water•ng-place as agreeable as possible, have hired 50,000 English Acres of Forest and Meadow Land, where game of every description is found in abundance, as well as a resort for the grdat sporting parties. The superb Casino, which, by the beauty of its decorations, surpasses everything that has been seen to this day on this side of the Rhine, contains a magnificent Ball-room, Concert-room, Saloons for the games of Trente, Quarante, Roulette, and Commerce, from eleven o'clock in the m)rning till eleven at night ; a Beading-room, where are found most of the German, French, English, Rnss!an, Belgian, and Dutch Newspapers ; a Coffee-room and Divan, opening on a beautiful asphalte Terrace ; and a splendid Dining-room, with a French Table d'Hote at one and five o'clock. The Casino of Homburg has hitherto had the sole privilege of re maining open during the whole year ; and the continuance of Games of Chance, Balls, Concerts, and all kinds of festivities, will procure to the residents at Homburg a most extraordinary attraction.

PURSUANT to a DECREE of the HIGH COURT of CHANCERY, made in a cause CORBYN against HER MAJESTY'S ATTORNEY-GENERAL, the NEXT OF KIN of MARY PHILIPPS, spinster, formerly of Halifax, Nova Scotia, in North America, afterwards in River-street, in the city of Bath, then of Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury, in the county of Middlesex, but late of Boulogne-sur-Mer, in the kingdom of France (who died at a very advanced age at Boulogne, in the month of December, 1842), living at her death, or the personal representatives of any of them who have since died, are by their solicitors, on or before the 12th day of January, 1845, to come in and prove their kindred, and make out their claims before Sir GIFFIN WILSON, one of the Masters of the said Court, at his Chambers, in Southampton-buildings, Chancery lane, London; or In default thereof, they will peremptorily be ex cluded the benefit of the said decree. The father of the said .Mary Philipps was John Philipps, who carried on the business of a chemist and druggist at Halifax afore said, from the years 1765 to 1800, and who died and was buried at Kensington, in the county of Middlesex, in the year 1801. The mother of the said Mary Philipps is said to have be en " Judith," otherwise " Jude," one of the daughters of Dr. Wood, Rector of Annapolis, in the same province, whose other daughters are said to have been Mary, the wife of Mr. Day, of Halifax aforesaid, mer chant, and Jane, wife of Captain Shaw, of a Highland regiment, in the service of his then Majesty. PRICE and BOLTON, Plaintiff's Solicitors. FIFTY POUNDS REWARD. THE hard substance obtained by pressure from the Crnde Cocoa-Nut Oil, is an essential ingredient In the PA TENT COMPOSITE CANDLES ; and, as EDWARD PRICE and CO., hold the Patents for this process, and grant no licenses under them, it follows, either, that the imitation Composite Candles are entirely different front the Patent once, or, that the imitators are infringing the Patents : the first is generally the case, but to protect themselves against the possibility of the other, EDWARD PRICE and CO. hereby engages to pay a reward of Fifty Pounds to ally workman or other person, who may give such information respecting parties pressing Cocoa-Nut 011, as shall lead to their conviction. The name of the informant will be kept strictly secret, and he need not take a prominent part in the proceedings, as all that E. P. and Co. require is the first clue to the discovery of the infringers, widen they will then follow up for themselves. This advertisement is being pub lished in every newspaper of any circulation in the United Kingdom. The Candles are cow so wellknown to the I'uMlic, that it Is hardly necessary to state here that they burn more brilliantly than the best wax, and give so large an amount of light, as to be cheaper, taking this into account, than the commonest Tallow Candles. They may be had of most of the respectable Tallow Chandlers throughout the kingdom ; but purchasers must insist on being supplied with " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES," otherwise they are liable to be deceived with some of the imitations, all called, like the real ones, " Composite." Those parties, really in the trade, who do not yet keep them for sale, are informed that they can purchase„.pf the Pa tentees, or of Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell, any quan tity, large or small, at the wholesede price ; and that allowances are made in an increasing ratio, Mc parties taking to the amount of 501., 1001., 150/., or 2001., at a time; end a very large allowance indeed to parties taking so large a quantity as to enable them to become whole sale agents for an entire district.

FAVERSHAM, THURSDAY NIGHT.—To-day a large and respectable meeting of the landowners and residents of Faversham; Sittingbourne, and the adjacent districts, was held at the Town-hall, Faversham, to take into con sideration the various projected lines for supplying Fa versham, Canterbury, Deal, Margate, Ramsgate, and the coast with railway communication. Mr. James Walker, the Mayor, presided, supported by the Right Hon. G. F. N. Harris, of Belmont ; Ge neral Sir T. G. Mont resor , of Ospring e ; Sir John Maxwell Tylden, of Milstead ; G enera l G osse li n, Mr. Bradl e y Dyne, Gore Court ; Dr. Poore, Mr. B. Wildman, Chilham Castle ; Mr. J. C. Hilton, Mr. Munn, Mr. J. B. Sh arpe , C apt. Moore, and other landed proprietors. The following deputations were in attendance :—Capt. Tyndale. R.N., Mr. Davis, Mr. Harding, directors ; Mr. Bidder, C.E., Mr. Whitehead, the secretary ; and Mr. Fearon, solicitor, in behalf of the London and Dover (South-Eastern) Company ; Mr. Lake, of Bapchild, in behalf of Col. Landman and Mr. Rastrick, engineers of the proposed Kentish line from London to the Downs ; and Mr. Vignolles, C.E., and others, iii behalf of the projected North Kent Company. The meeting commenced at twelve and did not termi nate until five P.M. Mr. LAKE, on the part of the Kentish Railway, which is proposed to run from London through Woolwich, Gravesend, Rochester, Chatham, and Canterbury, to the Downs, opened the proceedings with a long and lucid ex sition of the i n t en ti ons o f t h at company, and of the ad*, wages it would confer upon the Weald of Kent. It wciiald run along the northern side of the county of Kent, passing through ono of the richest districts in England, communicating with several watering-places of great resort, besides embracing the chief Government depots and barracks, at Woolwich, Ch a th am , Sh eerness, Can terbury, and Deal, accommodating a population of up wards of 200,000. A large traffic was anticipated in hops, fruit, coa l s , s h eep, fi s h , and articles of- general merchandise. The South-Eastern being formed as a communication between London, Dover, and the Con tinent, did not for the first thirty miles enter the county of Kent, to which extent the proposed line could not be considered a competing one, and leaving it to be fairly asserted that it did not accommodate the traffic between Canterbury and London, or the other populous districts of Kent, with the exception of Dover, Folkstone, Sand gate, and Hythe. A large revenue would be secured to the proposed line from the river traffic, in addition to which it was proposed to extend the line so as to obtain a west-end terminus, so as to unite with the South-Western at Hungerford-bridge, proceeding by Greenwich, New Cross, Peckham, Camberwell, Kennington, and Lam beth, and furnishing an uninterrupted route of 150 miles from east to west. Mr. Lake then urged at considerable length the policy of supporting an independent company, whose object would be the construction of the best line at the least sacrifice of property. It was the interest of an independent company to bring as many passengers to their line as they could, whereas it would be the object of the South-Eastern to bring but few, lest it should de tract from their Surrey and Folkstone line, seeing that in the matter of coals and timber they were interested in the double character of carriers and harbour-owners. By the Act they were compelled to charge equal tolls, but the charge for carriage and locomotive power was discretionary, and would tend to give them a monopoly. Mr. Lake concluded, amidst applause, by showing that the interests of the Kentish line were identical with those of Faversham, not only with reference to the tolls osi goods, but the general accommodation of the town. After a few observations from Mr. B. Dias with re ference to what he termed the :unequal charges for the carriage on coal, as compared with the distance travelled on the South-Eastern line, subsequently accounted for by Mr. Whitehead and Mr. Bidder, to the effect that it was owing to the company b e i ng o bli ged, for the conve nience of the Medway navigation and other parties, to bring their engines extra distances, and without reaping adequate remuneration in return. Mr. VIGNOLLES, engineer of the North Bent line, ad dressed the meeting. He stated that the great object of the company he represented was to furnish a direct railway communication between London, Faversham, Ramsgate, Margate, and the Downs, commencing either at London-bridge or the Bricklayers' Arms, and by the means of the Blackwall line, with whom they were in communication, and so onward through Dartford, Grave send, Stroud, and Rochester, and uniting from thence the arsenals of Chatham and Portsmouth. There would be a first-class station at :Faversham, from whence, pass ing by Chatham, the line, after skirting Canterbury, would sweep oil to Ramsgate and Margate. The line would be a good engineering locomotive one, and be pro vided with a double set of rails. J. HILTON, in an able speech, advocated an alliance with the South-Eastern as the most advan tageous for Faversham and the important cEstricts, North Kent. He canvassed at considerable leng4 the statement put forth by Mr. Lake and Mr, Vigmolles, contending that the South- Eastern undertaking would best adapt itself to the exigencies of the district; that the circumstance of its reputo as an olsl established line was the best guarantee that they could have of the line being carried out of ctively and well—a pledge which at present they could not secure from,new and independent companies. A disciltsion of local interest ensued, in which Mr. Wit'lman, Mr. Holmes, and Mr. Dyne, and the Hon. G. Harris, and others took part, after which, Mr. FEARON, solicitor to the South-Eastern Company, entered into a lengthy and able statement respecting the claims of that company to the consideration of the inha bitants of North Kent. He commented on the anony mous communications which had appeared in the public prints respecting the South-Eastern Company, and de scribed them as false and incorrect. If it could be proved that the company he represented charged for tolls (and he denied that they did) unfairly, an immedi ate remedy was at hand, by either an application to the Queen's Bench or the Board of Trade. The Directors of the South-Eastern had not the most distant idea of fostering the trade of Folkstone tO the sacrifice of that of Faversham. On the contrary, they wished to place both upon an equal footing. After explaining the sys tem of charging adopted on the line, Mr. Fearon'said that the assertion that the connection of Faversham with the South-Eastern project would be only favouring a great monopoly, was absurd. If it were a monopoly, bow came it that the South-Eastern was the first line in the kingdom that had come to the resolution of adopting the low fare system ? and that the question with the board even now was not whether they should raise, but reduce them still lower ? What guarantee from the other companies would the people of North Kent have equal to that of the South-Eastern, supposing another panic should arise in the money market consequent upon the scarcity of money ? The South-Eastern were in a position to com mand the capital for constructing the cheaper line, ' and also to work it most economically, seeing that they al ready had in play a large locomotive establishment and staff, which in the other cases would have to be called into existence, and, instead of charging 3id. per passen ger per mile, which they were empowered to do by their Act of Incorporation, they were now only charging lid. per mile for first and second-class passengers, and seven eighths of a Id. for third-class passengers, exclusive of a considerable distance, which, owing to the circumstances of the line at some points, they left altogether out of the fares, carrying passengers over it gratis —a system of policy intended to be adopted by the company in any of their subsequent extensions. After quoting the opinions of Mr. Gladstone, the President of the Board of Trade, on the subject of competing lines, and enforcing his own argument by a citation from the evidence of Mr. Laing before a Committee of the House, to the effect that mo nopoly would be worse in the hands of two companies than if wielded by one, Mr. Fearon stated, that although the advocates of the Kentish line proposed to go from Croydon to Hungerford-bridge for 500,0001., including stations, and through a most expensive part of the me tropolis, it could not be accomplished for double that sum, seeing that the London-bridge station alone had cost the joint companies 450,000/. After some further general remarks, Mr. Fearon concluded amid loud ap plause. Mr BIDDER then explained that the route proposed by the South-Eastern would commence at the junction with the Croydon at the Bricklayers' Arms, running through Greenwich, Lewisham, Eltham, Dartford, Gravesend, along the quays to Rochester, crossing the Medway to Milton, Sittingbourne, on to Faversham, where there would be a depot and a first-class station, and then on to the junction with the Canterbury, Ramsgate, and Mar gate. He urged in forcible terms upon the meeting not to throw away the certainty of having a good and ser viceable line constructed for them within twelve months from the passing of the Act, for that which at present they must view as an uncertainty, so far as the other lineq Were concerned, who would in the event of a change in the money market be placed in an awkward dilemma, who had to establish their share register, and to contend with the ditlieult:y of what were technically termed calls, which would probably never be responded to. After considerable discussion (in which o Sir be J. Tsouyldtehn protested against support being given South- Eastern ternnoCt be encouraged, the principle i%n .e that monopoly should Mr. HILTON by the South-Eastern bo effect that the line proposed . t • followed by an moved a substantive resolution , to the as best adapted to the district , ;approvedtahnaietntdhme meetingent propolls.aeda not t , in a v Mr. nsi Sharpe, tian t and d declare the South-Eastern line to be the one best suited to the in terests of Faversham and its neighbourhood.

SOUTH SHIELDS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—This mo'rj ing an inquest on the body of John Brown, who was killed by the collision on the Brandling Junction Rail way yesterday morning, was held at the Adam and Eva public-house, in Laygate-street, Ise' re Mr. Favell, coroner, and a respectable jury, of which Mr. Mather (the gentleman who drew up the South Shields Report on Alining Accidents) was foreman. The room was crowded during the day, and great interest excited by the proceedings. The CORONER stated that Joseph Burrell, a person in jured by the collision, died yesterday evening. lie should only at presenthold the inquest on Brown, leaving whether he should hereafter hold an inquest on Burrell to be determined by circumstances. Mr. Henry Plews, one of the Directors of the Com pany, Mr. Henry Newton, the solicitor, and other officers were present to watch the proceedings. The following is. the principal evidence adduced : Mr. John Reid—l live at Shields, and am a • butcher there. Yesterday I proceeded by the five o'clock train from South Shields to Gateshead. There were two car riages, and I was seated in the one farthest from the engine. When we got a little beyond Burdon-lane, I felt a shock, and heard the engine stopped for a few seconds—the train moved back. I looked out, when. seeing there was no driver on the engine, I leaped off its the same direction as the train was proceeding. When I leaped out, the train would be at a speed of fifty miles an hour. Three other persons leaped out, and escaped unhurt. Had notice been given, the passengers might have escaped immediately after the collisi o n, Thomas Gallon—l was in the same carriage as John Brown, the deceased. After I felt the shock, i looked out, but the darkness prevented me discovering further than that we had come in contact either with a coal waggon or a locomotive. If we had been told to jump out I think there was time for us to have saved ourselves. I was slightly stunned by the fall. When I recovered myself I walked on the platform, and saw some person take Mr. Brown out from under either the carriages or the engine, in a state of insensibility. I never heard any signal given except the usual one on crossing Bur don-lane. 1 think the Collision which took place was sufficiently severe to have knocked off the engine-mans if he had been cal the engine. I got outside immediately after the shock, and stood on the foot-rail until I reached near South Shields station. Joseph Arbey—Yesterday morning I was too late for the five o'clock train, and remained on the platform for some time. On looking up the line I observed a train coming towards Shielda eimost as rapidly as the wind. There were some empty carriages standing on the line at the station, arid the train coming down came into col lision with these, and there was a tremendous crash- All the carriages were broken. Soon afterwards I heard groans proceed from beneath one of the carriages, and. as I could not render assistance (having a lame army, I went for medi ca l men . O n my return, I found John Brown lying insensible, Burrell with his arm bre'sen, and complaining very heavily of pain in his back ; and John Young, Gamble, Wetherell, Batey, an d O th ers, who were severely inju re d. Michael Hunter, the fireman of the Nelson engine, was next called, and after being informed that he need not answer any question which might criminate himself, gave the following evidence:—Thero was only one car riage attached to the engine from Shields by the five o'clock train. Matthew Burdis, - Who was the engine man that morning, had acted in that capacity four or five months. The Nelson is a coal engine, ai.d it went that morning because of there having been an accident, the night before. Burdis was to take this engine up to Brockley Whins. There was a white light in front and a red light behind the train as usual. At Burdon-lane we passed some men working on the line; very shortly afterwards I heard a whistle, and saw another engine close upon us. lkirdis instantly shut off the steam, re versed the enr.;ine, and then put on the steam to check its forward motion. When we saw a collision was in evitable, we both leaped off, leaving the engine reversed, and the steam on. No sooner had we reached the 9,l'ound than the Leopard engine, with a tender before it,, ran into our tender. Burdis had not time to whistle, he was so fully engaged that he could not do so. Our tender was broken, the engine was broken, and went down to Shields alone. The footboard of the engine, be tween it and the tender, was broken by the concussion; and I am quite sure, if we had remained upon it, we should have been crushed to death. Burdis attempted to get on the engine again. Ile got hold once, but was obliged to let go. No notice was given to the passengers to get out. The Leopard engine stopped soon after the shock. Burdis and I went down the line. The first person we met was Wilkinson, the guard, who told us he had jumped off. By a Juror—The passenger trains and empty coal waggons always go up and down the same line from Brockley Whins to Shields, and the full coal waggons down the other. If an engineman reports to us that his engine is leaky, it is our duty to leave the coal waggons, and to take on the passenger trains for him. Edward Currie, a man employed at Mr. Shortridge's glass works, adjoining, and who had been attracted to the spot by hearing a tremendous cry, spoke to finding Brown and Burrell (the two persons dead) lying toge ther under one of the broken carriage, with the wheel pressing upun them. It was with considerable difficulty that they were extricated. When taken out, Brown. appeared to be dead. Ralph Donkin—l was engine-driver of the Leop . strd yesterday mor n i ng , at t h e time of the accident. Mr. Bell, the out-door foreman of the engine department, told me on Monday night it was more than likely I should be wanted to take up the butchers' train in the morning. About a quarter before four o'clock one of the night. watch called me up, and when I went to the shed at Gateshead, he told me I was to go and bring the butchers. at half -past five o'clock. I told him it was five o'clock, and prepared to start at that hour. In answer to my in quiry, the night-watch told me there was not an engine at Shields. In taking in coke and water, some unusual detention took plac e , th e co k e having been upset, and. there being a short supply of water. On the road to Shields, when on the cu rve near Burden-lane End, I observed another train coming. I. instantly shut off the steam, reversed the engine, put on the steam to force it back, and got on the break. When I saw it was sure to strike us, I shut off the steam again, and, with the fireman, leaped off. The Leopard struck the Nelson, and then stood still. I afterwards saw the engineman of the Nelson attempting to get upon the engine, but the footboard and hand-rail being broken, he had no chance of doing so. If the passengers had been informed of their danger at the time of the collision, I think they might have got out. I saw the light of the Nelson before I heard its whistle. I did not see the guard at the time of the collision. Georgo Taylor—About half-past seven o'clock on Monday night I told Burdis he had to take the first train on the following morning from Shields to Newcastle. I received this order from William Chapman, a fireman, with Donkin, the engine -driver. I understood him to refer to a passenger train, as Burdis had been for a short time before working passenger trains. I supposed the order had come from Mr. Bell, the foreman of the en eine department, as Chapman came from the repairing shed, at which Mr. Bell may frequently be found. The CORONER said, if the regulations of the company were to the effect that an engine -driver was to receive orders from any person, a plate-layer or a fireman, they were infamous. If ther, were no such regulations, the conduct of witness in obeying a fireman's orders was ex tremely culpable. one W t i o tne a because employed f bo or Witness—lt is customary Th eN e; Nelson n r u l‘ s ,as to pass orders from sstaa l tedfr al , o v n o e rk u in f g t . he passenger engines bo w v a e s r i e n t a r n r,d un t fi o t , W.

Air. John Moss, banker, of Liverpool, occupied the chair, and Mr. Reed, one of the French directors, entered into a long explanatory statement, fro m which it appeared that, in addition to the purposes already named, the directors at the general assembly to be held in Paris on the 30th inst., propose to agree to a resolution for applying to the Go vernment for a modification of the statute, so that in future thirty shareholders, representing one -tenth of the share capital, shall be sufficient to constitute a legal meeting, and to another for providing. one•half the funds for making a communication through the town of Rouen to join the Rouen and Havre Railway. These points were minutely entered into, and it appeared that the in tended branches, as well as the projected junction with the Havre line, will return a handsome profit. The estimated expenditure is 400,0001. ; and the shareholders were left to say whether this sum should be raised by loan or by the creation of new shares. After some dis cussion it was unanimously resolved that the I-Ann should be raised in shares distributed among the existing pro prietors, and that as to all the rest, proxies should be de livered to the English directors for use at the general assembly in Paris, on the 30th inst. The line was de scribed as being in a most prosperous condition.
