TO THU SHAREHOLDERS Ili - iti - g EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY • AND IN THZ FORTH AND CLYDE AND UNION CANALS. GENTLEMEN, A LLOW tae to call your attention to the effects on El. your respective properties of the ruinous competition now carrying on between the rival Railway and Canal routes, connecting Edinburgh and Glasgow ; a contest which, if persisted in, must prove ruinous-to all parties. The Union Canal Company ba this last year ceased to pay a Dividend. The free evenue being barely suf ficient to pay a third of the Os. formerly paid ; the Di rectors recommended, a the Proprietary agreed, to order no Dividend, b to apply the surplus Revenue to carry on the presen ruinous contest, in the hope of bringing the Railway Directors to reason. The Forth and Clyde Canal Dividend has been gradu ally reduced, and is now less than a half of the amount it was previous to the commencement of the contest, and this with a traffic doubled in amount. This state of the competing water routes no doubt seems favourable to the rival communication, " the Edin burgh and Glasgow Railway," and parties trusting to the representations made at the General 11leetings of our Proprietary, as to the progressive increase of the Traffic, might reasonably suppose the Railway Company to occu py an advantageous position in the contest with the Canals - All.that is needful to show the error of this conclusion is a cursnry examination of the Reports and Accounts of the Railway Company. Such an examination must satisfy every one that nothing but an arrangement which will enable the Railway Company to return to remunera tive charges on their Railway can save that concern from ruin. The correctness of what I assert is manifest from the following summary of the affa'rs of the Railway Company, as exhibited in the last three Half-Yearly Reports issued by the Directors to the Proprietary. From these Reports I find, First, That, while the Capital Outlay on the concern has, in the period from January, 1843, to July, 1844, been increased by loan, and the issue of or calls on Now Stock to an extent of nearly £150,000, the gross returns of Re venue have not increased, but diminished. This is shown by the following Tabular Statement : CAPITAL. aE s. d. ,2 a. cl On Ist January, 1843,theExpen ture on Capital Account was .. 1,513,396 15 4 whereof Borrowed 456,669 10 3 On 31st July, 1944, this Ex penditure had been increased byan Outlay of 136,126 16 3 whereof Borrowed 53,256 6 0 The Capital Ex. penditure, as on 31st July, 1844, was therefore £1,649,523 11 7 whereof Borrowed 50g,g23 in 3 REVENUE. s. d The Gross Revenue for the Seven Months endinr 31st July, 1843, was.. 68.84 12 1 0 .

The reduction from an average of Ils. 3d. per ton to an average of 4s. lfd. per ton on the Carriage of Goods is the more striking while, even with the higher average, the Directors found it necessary to explain to the Proprietary the causes, and to express their regret at the lowness of the Profits, attributing this unfortunate result to reduc tions forced upon them by the competition with the Canals. In the Report to the Meeting, held in August, IS4 , the Directors say, " The quantity of goods carried (33,000 tons) is greatly increased, bra,_owing to reductions made from time to time, in the rates of carriage, this branch of traffic(the goods) has not been so profitable as might have been otherwise expected." Since this Report was issued farther reductions, agent, as is shown by the foregoing Table, to more than 60 per cent. on " these very rates of carriage" have been made by the Directors. I the profits were too small, " not such as might have been expected," when the average charge per tori for car riage was 11s. 111 d., what must they now be when this average is reduced to 4s. 11(1? The Repo-rts show, Tkirdly, That in ;he case of the Passenger Traffic the average sum received from each pastenter every. successive half year. In proof 1 refer to the fol lowing PASSENGER TABLE.

The Canal Companies, after directing their efforts chiefly to the pro tection of their Goods Traffic threatened by the Railway competition, have, within the last three months, made an attack on the Railway Passenger Traffic, and have com pelled a reduction on the Railway Third-Class Fares from 4s. to 24., and, within the last month, to ls. 6d. The average receieed per passenger on the Railway is thus every day getting lower—what it may heat the end of the present six months it is impossible to say ! Fur the last eight weeks the average per passenger is Ild. While the receipts per passenger and per ton of goods carried along the Railway diminishes each half year, the capital account or money invested in the carrying depart ment, of the Company's business, increases in a ratio with the diminished profits. Eigbtee . n .months ago, or on Ist January, 1843, the amount of capital invested in locomotive engines, car riages-vans, trucks, horse boxes, and other moveable property necessary for the carrying department was up ward's of £112,000. In the last eighteen months this capital has been increased nearly £lB,OOO, by moneys bor rowed or obtained by call. on new shares, so that the capital invested in the carrying department of the Railway, in moveable and perishable properly alone, was, on 31st July lest, upwards of £130,000, independent of the very large amount invested in warehouses, stores loading places, and other fixed property neces sar y fur this depart ment of business. The following Table gives the amount disbursed from capiral for trucks, •carriages, locomotives, 5c.3., as stated in the three last Half Yearly Reports, also the average sums received per passenger and ton of goods in these three periods, and shows that as the receipt from passen gers and goods decreased the capital outlay increased; TABLE.

In the half-year ending 31st July, 1843, the debt being £450,&..9 10s. 3d., the interest paid was £12,168 6s. 3d. ; while in the half year ending 31st July, 1814, the debt being increased to £509,925 16s. 3d., the interest paid was only £9,272 16s. ; showing a saving, or rather a diminution in the amount of interest paid of nearly £3OOO. The 'Gross Revenue for the Six Months ending 31st July, 1844. was .455,866 16 0 The Expenditure charged to Re venue was £20,157 1 8 The interest for the Half Year, the Debt being 4E54)0.025 16s. 3d. was 0,272 18 0 The Dividend ordered was.... .- 54.742 7 8 ♦lleged Surplus .e1,:24 8 4 Had the interest been paid at the rate of evert four per cent., instead of a aurplus, there would have been a defi ciency of corns hundred pounds. Lenter into the foregoing details, as to the Railway matters, to show to the Proprietary the results of the pre sent ruinous contest. To the Canal Proprietors no such statements are neces sary, the results are such as they must feel--the caseation of dividend by the Union Canal, and the diminished divi dend on the Forth and Clyde, must arouse them and show them the desirableness of some mutual arrangement. Could either of the parties in the present contest hop. to drive their opponents from the field, and obtain clear possetsion of it themselves, there would be a justification of the contest. The experience of the lust two years (in deed the experience of all such cantests) proves the im possibility of effecting any such end. is then this ruinous contest to be continued ? Will the Canal and Railway Proprietors sit quietly and see their properti es squandered in a contest which, had the Manag ing Directors of th ese undertakings been more prudent, would never have commenced, far less continued till the present time ) with the Canal or Railw i d 3a a o y whether the fault lies n a D e i t i:c s t Y o;s, or with both ; but I let, the contest be ruin 88y, ,t oc ri the e i nd to, unless the Proprie tors desire to see the Raih r , respective undertakings. I call on the Canal and S hareholders to bestir themselves, and to compel a cessati on mad contest now go ing on. If , the Shareholders i l l st o i o a ri f r o: s t i ne a r n e a wpl be an instant rise in the value of their .e s of fach trade unde rtaking the n m n a fl n greater than those of the Railway . possesses in its own legitimate roam of indeMnifying its Proprietary, if the Directors will only turn their eneigies to the developerrient of these resources instead of seekin ,, alone the injury of what they Cons id er a rival and hostile undertaking. . I am, Gentlemen, Your most obedient Servant, A SUFFERING SHAREHOLDER. Glasgow, 26th September, 18-14. P.S. The Extension of the Railway to the North Bridge is held out to the Proprietary as a certain source of In creased Revenue and Diminished Expenditure. As to the latter, it is asserted in the last Report, " That the expense of cartage is still a great burden on the carrying business ; but that, from the progress now making towards a direct Railway Communication with Leith and Granton, a large portion of these expenses will be but of temporary dura• tion." Now, the entire sum paid for cartage at Edin burgh and Glasgow, &c., in the year ending 31st July, 1844, was £4420 10s. 2d., of which. at moat, a fourth might be applicable to goods going to Leith and Granton. To save this small outlay the expenditure of between £70,000 and £BO,OOO is being incurred to prolong the Railway nearly two miles—net to Leith and Granton— but to the terminus of annther Railway leading to these places, The tonnages on the Leith and Granton Railway are, 1 believe, 10d. The extension may be a convenience, but it cannot save expense. IRKENLIEAD AND ITS DO Hail ! wondrously improving place !

RICHMOND'S WHOLESALE AND RETAIL WOOLLEN WAREHOUSE, No. 3, PARADISE-STREET► TWO DOORS FROM CHURCH-STREET. ORICHMOND, in calling the ention of the Inha • bitants of Liverpool and vicinity to the above Establishment, begs to refer o his Address issued last Autumn, in which he !red himself to do a Woollen Trade on a system n ev e r efore attempted in this town — namely, to supply every description of Woollen Goods at a snzall per-centage on the manufacturers' prices, for cash only ; at the same time he promised to sell none but good Good's. That he has fulfilled his promise, that he has redeemed his pledge, and that his exertions have been duly appre ciated, the extensive patronage, accompanied by assu rances of satisfaction from his customers, sufficiently testify. J. R. has now the pleasure to announce that his WIN TER STOCK is ready for inspection, and will be found well worthy the attention not only of the Retail but also of every Wholesale Buyer who, doing business on J. R.'s terms, wishes to save the expense of visiting the Yorkshire or West of England Markets: That Woollen Goods are higher, and that the Market is still a rising one, there can be no doubt, yet, in consequence of an early visit, and making large purchases for Cash, J. R. is in a position to offer his New Stock at Old Prices, and in some in stances cheaper than at any former period. The Stock consists of every variety of the newest designs in Vestings and Trorvserings, in every Material in which they can be produced ; superfine Broad Cloths, in every shade of co lour ; also, an endless Stock of Waterproof Tweeds, Beavers, Pilots, and other Materials for Over Garments, Shooting Coats, arc. Special attention is directed to a large and carefully-selected Stock of Wool Black .Cloths. Doeskins, and Cassimeres, an inspection of which will prove to the Purchaser that high Prices are not necessary for the possession of a first-rate Article. In conclusion, J.

COFFEE GROUND BY STEAM POWER, AT THE TEA ESTABLISHMENT, NO. 2, BOLD-STREET. WE deem it incumbent on ourselves to address our Customers and the Inhabitants of Liverpool gene rally, in consequence of some extraordinary statements having appeared in the form of advertisements and pla cards respecting the prices of the es Jamaica Coffee. Two months since, when G ernment reduced the duty on Foreign Coffee, we publ" y announced it, and MADE THE REDUCTION. Sine bat period we have been as sailed by many in the t de (some directly and others in directly) charging u with quoting the finest Jamaica Coffee at much high prices than they can sell it. In our last circular we p nted out that the FINEST MOUNTAIN JAMAICA COFFEE could not be sold under two shillings per lb. We again repeat it ; and further, we DEFY any one in the trade to sell the CHOICEST DESCRIPTIONS OF COFFEE at a lower price and obtain a fair remunera ting profit, unless adulterated with chicory, which we know is almost universally adopted. After mature deliberation v;e have decided that such gross impositions shall be exposed, and we are determined to put it down, or at least to bring it before the public in such a manner, that if they buy it afterwards, they buy it knowingly; we have, therefore, had erected expressly A POWERFUL STEAM-ENGINE, on a new principle, SO that Customers may see their COFFEE GROUND as they pur chase it, and we wish to impress THE FACT upon the mind of both Rich and Poor, that unless they adhere to this principle, or buy it in the berry, that nine times out of ten they will buy one-fourth chicory, or some other stuff mixed with it, which easily aceountsfor many persons quoting their best Coffee at is. 10d. per lb., and cone even quote the finest Jamaica, at lc Bd. per lb. This latter class, although important in regard to their num bers, are perfectly insignificant in point of respectability. We have dwelt thus particularly on the article of Coffee for three plain reasons : First,—The immense quantity of Coffee that is con sumed in this town justifies us in giving our principles publicity. Secondly,—Tho vast quantity of Chicory that is used and sold as Coffe,!, ends its way into the coffee-pots of all, more particularly of the working classes, as they have not generally the convenience for grinding. Thirdly,—We unflinchingly pledge ourselves to aril none but pure Coffee, and repeat, we defy thane who quote the finest kinds of Jamaica Coffee at Is. Bd. am lc. 1041. per lb. to sell it without adulteration of sotto kind or ether. Having pointed out the foregoing facts, we think it un necessary to slake further remarks, as we have exposed the gigantic evil, and have placed you in a position to protect yourselves. It may be well here to remind you that when establish ing ourselves in this town, as Tea and Corwe Dratem we stated " when any change took place for the, benefit of consumer; we should give it publicity." This, we consi der, is a chonga-wal -watthytliP .ttention of every COlieev_ drinker. OUR PRICES ARE FORI IS. 6d. per lb., REALLY FINE FOREIGN suitable for Schools and COFFEE . .

Having drawn your attention minutely to the Coffee Trade, we do not vri,h it to be thought that the TEA TRADE occupies a less important feature in our (Willie tion than it has hitherto done ; on the contrary, we have the same determination of purpose in dealing out this article as Coffee. No doubt can now exist that we have established an EXTENSIVE FAMILY TEA TRADE, ty,, ex ercising spirited enterprise, careful judgment, a►►d honesty of purpose; beyond all these our best interest is consulted by SELLING GOOD TEAS, at a small profit, for READY MONEY. This we shall do at the following prices : Good Congou Tea, 3s. Gd. to 3s. Bd. per lb. for com mon IeBe;—FINE STRONG CONGOU, 4s. fit for household purposes;—THE FINEST CONGOU IMPORTED, 4s.

From our• commencement we have aspired to a high position, having obtained it, we ars .resolved to use every means in our power to maintain that confidence which has existed throughout our career between ourselves and sup porters. In conclusion we invite "a careful comparison," and if others can sell better articles, at a less price, on fair and honourable terms, we willingly resign the trade to them, as we admire competition when conducted on liberal principles.

MILNERS' NEW PATENT FIRE-RESISTING DEED, PLATE, AND CASH BOXES, BOOK SAFES ' AND GUNPOWDER MAGAZINES, &c., &c., WARRANTED TO BEAR MORE HEAT, WITHOUT INJURY TO THEIR CONTENTS, THAN ANY OTHERS OF EQUAL DIMENSIONS. Of 14 graduating sizes, suitable for all purposes, from 30s. to 134 each ; for additional inner chamber, doubling the thickness, and trebling the resisting power 50 per cent. more each size. The Chambers within Milners' Boxes and Safes con tain the best Chemical non-conductor of heat, and Tubes imbedded therein filled with alkaline fluid, which escapes into the non-conductor whenever Fire reaches the Box and heats it to the boiling point, steaming the chambers and contents, neutralizing in the latent heat of the steam 1000 degrees of heat, keeping down the temperature, and preventing ignition. From every pint of fluid in the Chamber is slowly dis charged into and condensed in the contents of the Box upwards of 200 Gallons of Steanr, of more certain avail in saving the Papers than tons of water thrown into a burning building with the same object. The advantage of this principle, embracing "the exclu sive use of any material evolving moisture on the applica tion of heat,' over every other description of Box or Safe, is the advantage that Water has over every thing else in quenching Fire. An Iron Safe of one inch in solid thickness exposed to red heat will char papers within it in fifteen minutes, and remain a burning prison for them for hours afterwards. Milner's Fire-resisting Princirle has been investigated, tested in Red !teat from One to Twelve Hours, in various thickness, from 1 to 6 inches, and approved by the au thorities and scientific and practical men, in the Ifading towns of the three kingdoms.

They not only give relief in a few hours, where the patient has been driven nearly to madness by the excruciating tortures of this disease, but restore to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of titne. They are equally speedy and certain in rheumati , either chronic or acute, lumbago, sciatica, pains in e head or face, and indeed for every gouty or rheum c affection ;in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfec ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has a. nisiaed all who have taken it, and there is scarcely a cit , town, or village in the kingdom, but contains many ateful evidences of its benign influ ence. The following case, selected from among those with which the proprietor has been favoured, is submitted to the public : " TO MR. PROUT, 229, STRAND. " Hurst, Sussex, Nov. 6, 1843.

The second day he was able to walk without his crutches, and on the fourth day was completely cured and able to perform his ordinary occupation. " Previous to this he was generally laid up every year for several weeks, after leeches and fomentations had been applied, to no purpose.

THOMAS,,,DOWNWARD, TAILOR AND DRAPER, No. 20, TARLTON-STREET WISHES to impress upon the minds of all purchasers' that, if they study ECONOMY in DRESS, he now offers an advatage rarely to be met with. He has resolved, from conviction, to solicit the support of the Public; in doing which he begs to lay before them a sketch of what he believes to be the present position of the Trade, in which he has been for a number of years en gaged, and the absolute necessity of some change in the system hitherto pisrsued in this busibess : the opening of this Establishment is the result. It must, therefore, be obvious to all, that an Establishment which shall combine all the requisites of Style, Qualit,y, and - Workmanship, of the first houses, at moderate prices, would furnish a de siderteum in the trade. The advertiser feels assured that he can offer to the psblic all these advantages, by the introduction of the principle of Cash Payments for every article which he makes. Every garment produced by him will be made by first-class workmen only; none others will be employed. ; T. B. will be prepared to offer the Beat Black Dress. Coat, average size, for £3, made from a quality of cloth of a fineness rarely used. He can offer a first-rate Coat for £2 14s. These garments, in Cut, Style, and Work manship, shall be equal to those produced by the most Fashionable Houses. If it should be asked how all the requisites of . Style, Quality, and Workmanship can be furnished at such prices, so strikingly different from those' existing, the answer is simple. Let any gentlernau select from a respectable Woollen •Draper coed length cf the best West of England Wool-dyed Black Cloth, say, for an average size, one yard and three-quarters, at 235. per yard, and then add the Makings, as below, and the ques tion is answered. ln closing this brief sketch of the sub jneoc t lie or begsmore t; a than o ~sipaaloysy:cbrhebete,::predeititchegr-teuantb6cenirsioesnt testimony reti o ,olti r nis e ,syeso , ti a otc n tra.,: c nh i deo p qdrt r uogr a l.ub f a i ty s ilve s oa e ,hdi s a ip t ar o ltecit d hnei P eg: the ;ammo method of business ; his object being not to cover deception by flaming profession , but to bike unoc- Advertiser would call pm-Li:Filar attention to the Ik4sking denuerippDiieeeddptgaorrtotn:lneeniptuu, of this Establishment, which is to offer advantages hitherto' denied individual who has not many times experienced the difficulty of having his own materials made up with n or approach to fit and style, ovriut to the fact that fashionable - Tailors object to making up any cloth but that furnished by themselves? True, they do occasionally make up a garment for a customer as a favour, but do not generally cultivate this important branch of the business. Many respectable Woollen Draper. in town regularly keep stocks which, for extent and variety, no Tailor would be justified in keeping, where any Gentleman may select articles of novelty, and quality of the first manufacture. These houses, buying at short terms and selling principally for cash, can offer their goods to the purchaser at very lour prices. Teat Gentlemen who would rather select their Materials for Dress where there is abundant cuoice and reasonable prices, do not avail themselves of the advantage to a greater extent, arises from the before-mentioned difficulty of meet ing with a Tailor to do justice to tivir garments ; many submitting to an overcharge rather than run the probable risk of misfits. The Advertiser feeling fully the extent of the public want in this respect, is resolved to supply the deficiency in the trade which has so long existed, b9.._ earnestly solicits the support of the Public in carrying it into effect. He is determined that every garment b rou ght to him to make shall receive the same attention in every particular as those where the material is furnished by himself. The Customer finding his own cloth may therefore cal culate as certainly upon the fit and style of his garm ent as though he ordered it entire from a first-rate house and paid the highest price for it. Gentlemen intending to furnish their own material may, upon application, be informed what lengths they require for each garment.
