BE DIRECTORS of the LONDON and BIR: T MINGLI AM RAILWAY COMPANY feel that in the exercise of the trust confided to them, they are not called upon to make any lengthened comment on the statement which has been put forth by the Grand June- • tion Board. They are prepared to lay open to the in- - spection of their own proprietors, or to print for their use, if desired, every document connected with the recent negotiation between the Shropshire Committee and there selves, together with the communications which have been addressed on this subject to the Grand Junction Board ; but they cannot think it either requisite or desirable that • matters having reference only to the negotiations and private interests of railway companies should be obtruded on the public. Whatever misapprehension may have existed as to the degree in which the Shropshire Committee acquiesced in the transfer to the Grand Junction Board of theirpending arrangements with the London and Birmingham Direc tors, under the agreerr ent of the 3d July last, nothing certainly has occurred which could bind the Shropshire Committee to the stipulation that the making of the line was to be vested in the Grand Junction Board. The point had not been even definitely settled between the and Birmingham Director s and the Shropshire Committee, and it is evident, even had the principle been recognised by both parties, that under no cireums!anc , s could such a conclusion have been arrived at without the settlement of preliminary arrangements by which the best line of co mmunication should be secured, and the possible making of the railway with inferior gradients guarded against, and by which also the objects of the Shropshire interests should be provided for by suitable stipulations between the contracting parties. It is also clear that, whatever may have been, on either side, the extent of misapprehension, it would have been removed at the first interview between the solicitors on both sides, whenever they might meet, in accord with the proposal contained in Mr. Glyn's letter of the 15th July, to give legal effect to the intended measures. The diffi culty of concurring upon this point was in fact ascertained very soon after that datP, and practically the Grand I Junction Directors were aware almost from the first of ' the views of the Shropshire Committee not to resign the making of the line. As respects the inference which the Grand Junction Board have drawn from the communications reported to have passed between the professienal advisers on both sides, the London and Birmingham Directors do not think it necessary to offer any remarks on such art unusual pro ceeding; but they must solemnly deny on the part of their Chairman, themselves, and their Solicitor, and of any one officially connected with the London and Birmingham Company, the most remote intention or design to act towards the Shropshire Committee in the treacherous manner which on such grounds has been assumed. The Directors declare, on the contrary, that they always con templated the permanent existence of the Shropshire Committee to protect the interests of their shareholders, to take care that the stipulations for working the line in a manner convenient to that part of the country, and for its interest, were properly carried out, and eventually to un dertake any other duties which would devolve to them. The London and Birmingham Directors conceited that in endeavouring to secure for the Grand Junction .Com ' pany important end influential connections represented by the Shrewsbury Committee, they had taken a course eminently calculated to promote the interests of that Company. The endeavours of the Directors to carry out their intentions were most fairly met by the Shropshire Committee, and the London and Birmingham Directors are still at a loss to understand the motives which have induced the Grand Junction Board to adhere to their stipulation for making the line, because, as respects any protective object, the clauses tendered by the Shropshire Cominit'ee would have been amply sufficient. They were clauses to which this Board would have at once as sented, as affording ample protection over the expenditure • of capital, the actual construction of the works, and the making of contracts for them. The. Directors must, howevcr, express their surprise that the Shrewsbury Committee should on their part have publisned an extract (roma note by Mr. Glyn, (approved, it is true, by the London and Birmingham Directors,) addressed to Mr. Ormsby Gore, before his letter, a copy of which is for the first time given in the Morning Herald of this day, could have been laid before the Board, since it is evident that the note was never intended as an official answer to Mr. Gore's official communication, and referred only to one point, namely, the existence of the Shrews bury Company as an independent undertaking, which had been alluded to in a letter written by Mr. Glyn to Mr. Moss immediately before. The official answer to that letter, as printed in the statement of the Shrewsbury Committee, and to the deputation which attended the London and Birmingham Board, was embodied in the resolution of the Board of 6th September are communi cated to the Grand Junction Board. The London and Birmingham Directors have only in conclusion to express their deep regret that arrangements calculated in their opinion to promote the best interests of both Companies should have been marred ; but they are • satiefied that no endeavours have been wanting on their part to impress upon the Grand Junction Directors the evil consequences which may result from the difference with the Shropshire Committee.

The Times of Departure be published in bills of the jay , . The Directors feel that some explanation is due to the Shareholders upon the announcement of so large an ad ditional measure of accommodation, and so important a reduction of fares, within six months after the opening of the Extension Line through Salford, upon which nearly £250,000 have been expended, especially as the general Scale of Fares on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway has never exceeded, and has generally been below that of the principal railways in England, including those in im mediate connexion with this district. The Directors are happy to be able to state that the traffic accounts for the quarter just ended exhibit a very gratifying increase over the corresponding quarter of last Tear ; a result, in part to be attributed to the Extension Railway latsly opened, forming a direct and continuous line of communication with Yorkshire and the East Coast, but in part, also, to the general revival of trade, which the Directors trust will be steady and permanent, giving in creased activity to the internal truffic of the country. This favourable state of things has encouraged the Directors to adopt a more decided course than they would otherwise have been justified in doing; and they cheer fully recognize the broad and general principle that the public may fairly claim to participate, from time to time, by means of increased accommodation or reduced rates, in the continued success of the company. _ _ Moreover, they will not conceal (min' the Proprietors, that in the present position of railway interests, with a superabundance of unemployed capital and a speculative spirit abroad, which, every day, conjures into shape and promise new and rival projects, existing lines must he prepared, even at some sacrifice, to supply the public with ample accommodation, on the most reasonable terms, if they wool I maintain the ground which they have heretofore occupied—each in its own locality. For this purpose the outlay of additional capital may be required, the return for which can be expected only from an increase of traffic, consequent cn the increased prosperity of the country. But the Directors feel assured that a deference to public opinion, exemplified by the course of policy now recommended, will bust enable them to maintain a safe position, and to defeht, if need be, the attempts of rival and hostile undertakings.

The Railway will join the Chester and Birkenhead Railway, by a branch near Bebbington, for the Birkenhead traffic, and by a branch near Chester for the Shropshire, Welsh, and Irish traffic. These branches will unite near Elton, and the Line then be continued to Frodsham, and Preston Brook, (where it will cross the Grand Junction Railway and form a junction with it,) and thence to Man chester by way of Aitringham, from which Alice a branch will be carried to Stockport. At Manchester a Junction will be formed with the Manch. ster and Leeds Railway. After the most mature deliberation, the Committee have determined upon the Plan thus indicated as the one most practicable in details and most effective to accomplish the great objects for which the Line was designed.

BY this undertaking it is proposed to establ ish a direct -1- 1 P Railway communication between the city of Norwich (the metropolis of the eastern district of England and the town and port of Ipswich, at which place it will ) join the Railway to London. The Line will pass through the towns of Diss and Stowmarket, and through or near Long Stratton, Eye, and Mendlesham, and Needham Market and the adjacent populous districts, and will be in near communication with the towns of Harleston, Bungay, and Beccles, and the River Wavenhey, to which places an extension may be advantageously m,de. It also combines the advantage of a direct communication with the port of Yarmouth. Very considerable commerce and intercourse has always subsisted between Norwich, Diss, and Ipswich, which this project will greatly facilitate and increase. This Line will be an extension of the Eastern Union Railway, and will, by means of the Eastern Counties Railway frees Colchester, give the city of Norwich and an extensive and thickly populated country a direct com munication with London, fourteen miles shorter than by the Norwich and Brander' and Northern and Eastern lines. The proposed Railway is strictly identified with the agricultural, commercial, and manufacturing interests of the entire district, and, whilst it uffords the greatest con venience to the public, it offers to the Shareholders a prospect of a very ample return on the capital embarked. The Line has been surveyed by Mr. Locke, who has reported, that the character of the country to be traversed will render the Line easy of construction, and, as the gra dients are favourable, it will be an economical Line to work. A careful estimate of the present traffic between Ips wich and Norwich has been made, which, after allowing 40 per cent. for the expenses of working the Line, shows a return of upwards of 7 per celt. on the capital re quired. The Map annexed to this Prospectus indicates the course of the intended Line and shows the population of the principal towns which will be eccammodated by the undertaking. The capital proposed to be raised, £650,000, will enable the Company to complete a double Line from the termi nus of the Eastern Union Railway, at Ipswich, to Nor wich, a distance of forty-five miles : part of this Line will have the advantage of participating in a double traffic from being connected, net only with the Line to Nor wich, but with a Line now projected, branching from this undertaking at a uoint about fourteen miles north of Ips wich to Cambridge, through Bury St. Edmonds, as shown on the map. Norwich as well as Cambridge (and, eventually, by other connecting Railroads, the whole of the manufactur ing districts) will thus be in direct c )mmunieation, at Ipswich, with the line of steamers proposed to be esta blished from Harwich harbour to Hatribureh, Rotterdam, Antwerp, and Ostend ; will be within ten hours of the last-named place ; and, according to the statement lately published by the proposed European Steam-packet Corn pany, within twenty-four hours of Hamburgh.

Mt. Cubitt has further stated, that this Line is also th most favourable as . regards the expense of construction, and that his estimate of £900,000 is fully sufficient for completing the undertaking, including the plant and every other expense up to the opening of the Railway. The Company will be in a situation to submit evidence to Parliament that the traffic will yield a return of eight per cent. to the Shareholders. After the act is obtained, interest at the rate of four per cent. will be allowed upon the calls from the date of pay ment until the Line is openeJ for traffic.

In the event of the proposed London and York Line being carried into effect, this Railway will also form the connecting link between Manchester, Sheffield, and the Metropolis, and will afford, by means of the London and York Line, the shorter communication from the Metro polis to these important towns. A careful examination of the Country through which this Line will pass, by Engineers of acknowledged emi nence. enables the promwers to state, that it may be constructed with facility, and that its character is such as to justify a confidence that it must prove highly retnune rative'to the proprietary, taking into consideration the great amount of Traffic which must necessarily pass along it, whether as regards Passengers, Merchandise, and Agricultural Produce, or Minerals, inasmuch as the Dis trict is not provided with any means of Transit bryond the ordinary Turnpike Roads. Twelve Daily Coaches are now required to convey the Passenger Traffic through the District which this Line will accommodate, nt once demonstrating its importance and the necessity which exists for its construction. This Line, intended to communicate with the existing Mansfield and Pinston Railway, at Mansfield, will form the nearest and most direct roue that can be madebetween the Agricultural Districts to the East anti South-east of Newaris and the great central Coal Field of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, and thus enable the inhabitants of those extensive Districts to supply themselves with Coals of every quality at considerably less than two-thirds of the present price. The whole country, North and South, will, by this Rail way, and the others with which it will communicate, be brought within easy reach of the well-known Quarries of Building Stone With which the District of Mansfield and Mansfield Woodhouse abounds ; as well as with the Lime produced in that neighbourhood, so celebrated for build ing and other purposes. The Promoters are enabled, after a careful analysis of the Traffic which will come upon this Line, to state that a profit of at least i per cent. will be realized upon the estimated capital of £600,000 after deducting 40 per cent. for working expenses. A Deposit of £1 10s. per Share must be paid on the allotment of shares, and the liability of subscribers will be limited by the Act of Parliament to the amount of their respective shares. Power will be taken in the Act to allow Interest at the rate of £4 per Cent. per Annum on the Deposits, as well as on all future calls, corn the date of each payment till the opening of the whole Line, or until a Dividend be declared. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Con tract will be ready for signature at the time the deposits are received, and a copy will lie f .r signature at one of the, Company's Bankers. at each of the following places : London, Manchester, Sheffield, Chesterfield, Mansfield, Southwell, Newark, and Nottingham. References will be required from all app licants for shares who are not known to s ame mem b ers of the Com mittee, the SolicitOTS, or respectable Sharebrokers.

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS • OF TILE EDINBURGH 'AND GLASGOW RAILWAY. GENTLEMEN,—Your chairman has obligingly, bait in a manner pet sanal to myself, furnished you each with a re port of the proceedings at the recent special general meet ing of the company, which was attended - by twenty-flys persons, including reporters and ch.rks, and held for the purpose of voting ataxy £lOO,OOO (which must be bor rowed) to the Kiltm mock, Dumfries, and Carlisle scheme. He has also kindly repeated what 1 had previou&y men. timed, namely, that I am (by inclination, not from ne cessity) the holder of only one share of the company's s ock ; and he might have distinctly s'aled that I am (in place of insidiously saying that " 7 was") vice-chairman of the committee of management of the Caledonian Rail way Company. •. . . . He miglit have further informed you of the fact, that purchased that one share of your stock, for the purpose of bringing on a late occasion to the aid of your board of management, on a vital question, a considerable amount of support ; and he might have added that, at a late gene ral meeting of the company, the bolder of that one share was solicited by the secretary, end had the honour of de clining, to propose a rote of than!is to the chairman. So far, gentlemen, for the information, pers)nal to my self, furnished by your chairman in Li, recent letter, — such a course, perhaps, not being likely to promote a friendly conf : Tence with the promoters of the Caledonian line, as promised to Mr. BLACKADDER by y our chabrunan. But— He lias not acquainted you, either in his recent address, speech, or h tter. with the amount of your stock held by the gentlenrin who spoke at the late mr•etin4 against your granting £lOO,OOO, and who concluded by adhering to the protest. He has not informed you how highly successful•were the committee of the Kilmarnock, Dumfries, and Carlisle scheme, when they "sat in London for the purpose of as signing such F hares, in limited numbers, to such parties of respect.hility as should apply personally, or by letter accompanied byreference!" He has not told you what number of shares of this Kil marnock, Dumfries, and Carlisle project, hare been sp.- piled for or allotted, nor what amount of deposit has been paid thereon. He has failed to acquaint you with the amount of monied interest taken in this scheme by the districts armnd Dum.. fries, Kilmarnock, and Annan, through which the pet line is proposed to pass ; nor has he said that the noblemen and gentlemen, proprietors of the soil, hare agreed to the line being taken by .the best and most di ,- ect route.• He has rot told you how deep!y interested himself and some of his colleagues, and the generality of the officers of your company, are in the success of - the Edinburgh and Berwick Railway, the Glas4ow and Ayr Railway, and the proposed Kilmarnock, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway. He has not shown you that, as chairman of the Berwick Railway, it is his duty to draw to that line all traffic pass— ing to and from the north of your railway—to the great loss and detriment of the railways lying to the south-west of the island. He has not alluded to the powerful interest and high recommendations that the proposed Caledonian line, RS- a direct line and national benefit, is likely to command. He has failed to remind you, that the committee of management of the Caledonian company are the trustees of a large sum of money, raised for the purpose of obtain in; an act of parliament for the formation cf the line. And, finally, He has not said tbat there is to be any limit to the eit nendituregf your company's funds in opposing the Cate donian railway bill. GENTLEME : g,—Your chairman having altogether omit ted to avert to these particulars, I take the liberty of bringing them under your notice.—And am, your obedi. mat bumble servant, WILLIAM GRAHAM. Ts P. FAN PROPELLER.—A beautiful little steam-boat of 50 tons, called the Mystery, has just been launched at Greenwich. propelled by another newly invented means of propulsion from the stern, without the nosightly die figaremfrit of paddle boxes, and which bids fair to eclipse every other kind of sternal'propulsion which has yet been patented. This propeller is similar to the fans or sails Of a windmill, but with this difference to all other propellers fixed at tight angles with the stern, • that she has a hori zontal movement at the will of the steersman, and thus hecomes'both propeller and rudder; it will turn horizon tally, without effecting its'vertical motion to the extent of half a circleand so beautiful 'is'its action on the vessel, that she instantaneously answers - the slightest movement, and can be turned round and round with great rapidity in the water, 'as if fixed on a pivot. The fan on thisprinei. ple can be' applied to' vessels of any size, even to line of battle ships , - , -anti its action, being entirely beneath the water, is perfectly free from any accident or damage. —Mining Journal. - • " • IMPORTANT APPLICATION OF THE STEAM-WHISTLE. —lt is well known that one of the most common causes of the explosion of steam-boilers h s bean the want of a sufficient quantity of water in the boiler at the time that the beat u nieroeath was ver y great. In many instances., the eefieiency of water has resulted from the negligance the attendant engineer, combined wilt the fact that no alarm was given, previous to the moment of explosion, of the exact state of the water in the boiler. Happily, am efficient and simple exponent of the depth of water in the bo ler at the time of working, and which will act as a powerful alarum in case . of danger, has just been applied to the steam-boilers at one of the largest manufacturiw establishments in the neighbourhood of Leeds. By af fixing a small pipe in communication with the ihterior of the boiler at that tieint below which it is well known tote unsafe to allow the water . to be consumed in the genera tion of ,steam, and at the top of. such tube puttine one of to common whistles that are attached. to the railway lo catnotive-ergines, a very of evil r,t alarum, as we have al ready said, is forme ; for ag soon as the water within the boiler has been consumed below the point where the pipe enters the boi'ei, the steam will rush up the pipe, and thence into the whistle, giving a timely warning of the deficiency of water in the boiler. DANGErtous Saturday evening week large crowd of persons were collected in S:nville street, Dublin, in consequence of seeing two young men stand ing on the top of Nelson's Pillar. One of them, a fine vcung fellow, about sixteen or seventeen years of age, began to ascend the pillar, and, after "tuggin g a wa y" f or some time, he succeeded in getting on the capstan, w hi c h is placed behind the colossal statue of the great naval hero. From this position it was not very hard to ascend the figure itself, which the lad accomplished, and, hav ing looked around him for a moment, he seated himself. with the greatest apparent complacency, on the head of the figure, where he continued several minutes, waving his cap. lie then raised himself, and stood on the bead of the figure, first on both, and then on one foot, in which perilous situation he remained for several minutes, while the most painful anxiety existed among the observers for his safety. Hating descended, his companion, who ap.. peared somewhat his senior in years, and who was dressed in a frock coat, went through a similar evolution, and then both ascended the figure together, and, taking hold of each other's hand, they stood, with one leg each, for a considerable time, on the granite head of the immorta' Nelson. It was blowing a strong breeze, and it was pain. ful to witness the dangerous position of the youths at this moment; but they descended without any accident, and, on coming into the street were loudly cheered. They re fused to give. their names, nor would they say if the feat was done for a wager, which is supprse I to. be the case. EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE. —On Thursday morning, about seven o'clock, as a man and woman were passing alongside the Irvine river, beneath the Milton bridge, about three miles from Kilmarnock, they observed a hat and veil tied on a parasol stuck in the ground a short distance from the water's edge ; and, en looking into the river, they perceived the bodies of a gentleman and gethe. in comparatively shallow water, and about ten feet by twohandkerchiefs, (redbodies an d w whits) elefoun k c I ntoottbede attachedto lady, from the Ind tied round the arm of each. Both were well dr esse d, ' and had the appearance of persons moving in a respectable rank el life. Inside of the gentleman's hat was an - ad dress written thus :—" 11. J. Atkinson, :Esq., King street, Chcapside. London," close to the maker's name, G. Taylor, Birmingham. No Papers were found on the person of either to afford any further clue. The gentle man w-s dressed in a black coat, black vest, with under sa'in vest, trousers of dark blue doe-skin, with boots. lie was of a ruddy complexion, and nearly sixty years of age. The lady was about the same age, attired in a black silk gown, a Donstable bonnet, a boa round her neck, black silk gloves, with a plain gold ring oub-r. finger. In her pocket were a fruit knife, tooth pick, gold pin, satin pin -cushion, a watch seal, with the word " Kate" en graved thereon, and one or two other trifling articles. On the gentleman were found a plain and rather old-fash ioned watch, three gold seals attached by a black silk rib bon, with the letter " B " engraven, a silwer pencil-case, a gold rive on his finger, one shilling and sixpence in silver, and t , torence halfpenny in copper in his pocket; also, a gold tooth-pick, in an ivory case, &o. The part of the river where the bodies were found is not above three feet deep, but beneath is a deep pool. There was not the slightest mark of violence perceived on either of their bodies. Ott making inquiry in town, we understand that a lady and gentleman answering to the above descrip tion, came on Tuesday to reside at the Commervial Inn, Kilmarnock, having arrived by railway from Glasgow. They brought two trunks, but gave no address. They seemed to have no acquaintances in town ; but took frequent walks in com p any a l ong t h e streets, and ap peared VI live most agreeably together. On Wednesday, after taking dinner, they left the inn, about five o'clock, p.m., it,tim,ting to Mrs. Wyllie that they would probably be late, as they were going to take a moonlight walk.. They paid their bill that day. and no person, so far as is known. has any ch:im on tic m in this neighbourhood. They lived as man and wife, and, wherever they have come from, have kept their names a strict secret. From the small sum of money found on their persons, they ap peared to have exhau.ted their means so far,.hut the va'uables they possessed could have afforded them the means of li'elihocd for some time longer. The keys ' faund on their persons answer th e trun k s; but the requi site authority has not yet been obtained for opening these receptacles.— Kilmarnock Journal. • UTILITY OF CONSTANT STUDY.--In my youth I SVAL v:ly much devoted to reading; and even now, old a 3 I am, I employ in it all the moments of leisure left me I y State affairs.
