LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY. REDUCTION OF FARES. THE Public are respectfully informed, that on and after SATURDAY, the 2d November next, the follow ind will be the Passenger Fares between Liverpool and Manchester : First Class Fares Second Class Thi, d Class 6 , 4. Oa. 4s. Od. 2s. 641. DAY TICKETS (not Transferable) to Manchester or Liverpool and Back on the same day Ten Shillings, equalling each way Five Shillings. The Public are further informed that from and after the same date there will be Two Third Class Trains per Day, one in the Mottling and one in the Evening, from each end of the line. The Times of Departure will be published in . bills of the day. 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 nrincipal 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 year; a result, in part to be attributed to the Extension Railway lately opened, forming a direct and continuous line of communication with Yorkshire and the East Coast, but in tart, also, to the general revival of trade, which the Directors trust will be steady and permanent, giving in creased activity to the internal truffle 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 from the Proprietors, that in the present position of railway interests, with a superabundance of unemployed capital and a specuLtive spirit abroad, which, every day, conjures into shape and promise new and rival projects, existing Hoes must be prepared, even at some raoritice, to supply the public with ample accommodation, on the most reasonable terms, if they would maintain the ground which they have heretofore occupied—each in its own locality. For this purpose the outlay of additional capital must be required, the return for which can be expected only from an increase of traffic, consequent on 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 best enable them to maintain a safe position, and to defeat, if need be, the attempts of rival and hostile undertakings. By order, HENRY BOOTH, Manager. Liverpool, 141/s October, 1844. ST. HELEN'S & SOUTHPORT, WIGAN, RAIN FORD, AND LIVERPOOL RAILWAY. THE Public are respectfully informed that it is proposed to CONSTRUCT a LINE of RAILWAY, with the r quisite Branches, to accomplish toe following impor tant objects:— First: To bring the extensive Coal Districts to the west of Wtgan, comprising the Coal Fields of Winstenley, Bd. Rainford. and Kirkby, into a cheap and easy cons muilicaiion with Liverpool, via the Liverpool and Man chester Railway. Second: To effect a shorter and more direct communi cation b-tween Liverpool and the North, by the proposed new Live, to Wigan. Anil Third: By a Railway from St. Helen's, throngh the Coalfields Of Bickerstaff and Lathom; to join the Easton and Southport Railway at a place west of Rofford; thereby affording to the Town of Ortnskirk a good railway communication with Liverpool, Manchester, Preston, and other places already connected by existing railways. be sides completing a railway commtwication between Man chester, Stockport, and the Manufacturing Districts as well as between Wolverhampton, Birmingham and the great Iron Districts, and the agreeable Watering-place of SoUTIIPORT. The peculiar advantage of the proposed scheme of Rail way is, that it will afford, at a comparatively small outlay, (bv making ti,e of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, and by arrangements with St. Helen's Railway,) the valuable option of several distinct modes of outlet for the produce of the great Coal Field which it is proposed to intersect, namely: First: By the Liverpool and Manchester Line, to effect a ditect railway communication with those towns. "Second: By the St. Ilelen's and Runcorn-gap Railway, to obtain a short and direct communication with the river Mersey, either for export to Ireland, for the supply of the Salt-works in Cheshire. or for the Steam-vessels which ,now sail from the river Mersey to all parts of the world. And Third : In addition to a new railway communica tion from Edge-hill to the north end of the town, which the Liverpool and Manchester Company have in contem plation, and will be prepared to execute as soon as the trade of the port shall require increased accommodation, a connexion will also be formed with the Leeds and Liver poet Canal, which the proposed Line will cross between Ormskirk and Refford, by which a water conveyance to the north end of Liverpool 'AM be effected. By the proposed scheme. while ample facilities will be afforded to the Proprietor to bring his Mineral Produce to the general Market, existii g interests will be respecte . d, and that waste of the national capital be avoided, which must be sustained where a million of money is expended to areomnlish mbiects which by more judicious arrange ments could be effected by a quarter of that sum. To ensure the mo,t skilful, comprehensive, and at the same time economical system of Lines and of Working, of which the district is capable, the Promoters are happy to announce that they have engaged the services of George Stephenson, Esq: i who has consented to act as Principal Engineer for the setting out and construction of the Line, —in regard to which the interests of the Lauded Proprie tors of the country proposed to be traversed will as far as possible be consulted. Fut flier particulars, with the names of the Provisional Committee, will shortly be pulAshed. CLAY and SWIFT. Liverpool, ith October, 1841. LONDONDERRY & ENNISKILLEN RAILWAY.

THIS Railway, by continuing the Sheffield and Lin colnshire Line from Gainsborough to Great Grimsby, will complete, from Sea to Sea, from Liverpool on the Western, to Grimsby on the Eastern Coast, that direct East and West main trunk Line, which the Liverpool and Manchester, the Sheffield and Manchester, and the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Junction Railways, extend eastward as far as Gainaborough, and will furnish to most important Manufacturing and Agricultural Districts, the double advantage of rapid communication with each other, and easy access to a near, cheap, and safe Port on the Eastern Coast. An arrangement has been entered into, of. the most satisfactory character, with the Grimsby Haven Company, by which they undertake to apply for extended powers in the next Session of Parliament, to improve the Dock accommodation at Great Grimsby, so as to make it very complete, and capable of receiving first-class Steamers and other large Vessels engaged in the Continental and Foreign trade ; and the convenience afforded by the pro posed extensive Wharfs, and the Railway and Dock to gether, for the export and import of goods, will. be second to none in the kinglom. Mr. RENDEL, the eminent En gineer, is now occupied, on behalf of the Grimsby Haven Ccimpany,incompleting their part of the above arrangment. Great Grimsby being situated at the mouth of the Humber, Vessels entering its Dock will save at least one tide in time, and avoid the risk, cost, and delay of a dan gerous river navigation; the dues are considerably lower than at Hull ; and, besides the shorter voyage and safer and cheaper port, the distance inland by rail both to Shef• field and to all the large Towns in the Midland Counties, wi:l be less from Grimsby than from Hull. The imports and exports, therefore, to and from these Towns, and also a fair proportion of the Manchester Continental Trade, may confidently be calculate,l to travel upon this line of Railway. • To Passengers, the advantage will. be still more re markable, as a person will ordinarily be able to land at Grimsby, and reach Sheffield before he could have landed at any other Part on the Humber. This Railway, from the Port of Grimsby, by communi cating with the Southern Line to London, will also form by far the quickest route for the Mails from Hamburgh and the Baltic to London. The rich and productive districts through which it passes, guarantee to this Line a large traffic in Corn and Agricultural Produce, both V, estward towards the Manu facturing Consumer, and Eastward for Shipment Coast wise, whilst the present prices of Coal at Grimsby, and throughout North Lincolnshire, ensure a return traffic in Coals and Coke from the Yorkshire Coal Field to all places on or near the line of Railway, and at the same time an important saving in cost to the inhabitants. Though .forming a .distinct and independent Company, this Line will have the active co-operation of the Directors of the Sheffield and Manchester and Sheffield and Lincoln shire Junction Railways, to both of 'which, as well as to the North and South Lines, it must act as a valuable feeder; and as the most convenient and economical mode of working the Line, power will be taken in the act to lease it to the former Company, on terms to be mutually agreed upon. - This Railway has also the important advantage of the cordial approval and support of the principal Landed Proprietors through whose Estates it will pass. The Line will be peculiarly favourable throughout for cheap construction, and, from the excellence of its gra dients, will be capable of being worked at as low a cost as any in the kingdom. The traffic now passing along and near it is ascertained to yield a remunerative return upon the capital required ; and this Railway, combined with the improvement of the Port of Grimsby, mutt make the whole length of rail from East to West of the most im portant national character, and embrace an extent of Traffic in the highest degree advantageous both to the Proprietors in the present Company, and to those who have invested in either of the above Lines.

STANDARD. stance no Provisional Committee was announced) brought before the public the project of a Line from Shrewsbury to join the Grand Junction Line at Wolverhampton, in stead of Stafford, (and subsequently proposed to be ex tended to Birmingham) communications after vards took place on the subject of the different Shrewsbury Railways, the result of which was, that the Grand Junction Direc tors agreed, as a concession to the London arid Birming ham Company and to the new Shropshire party, to adopt Wolverhampton, instead of Stafford, as the terminus ; here again affording,C surely, proof enough of anything but a desire on their part to dictate.. After these preli minary remarks, the Directors approach the two points now in dispute, namely, first, who, under the agreement of the 3rd of July last between the London and Birming ham and Grand Junction Companies, were to be the `` makers" of the Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton Line ; and secondly, whether Mr. Gore's party have or have not adopted that agreement. The following statement will, it is hoped, make it clear that there is no ground whatever for complaint against the Directors of the Grand Junction Railway on either point. First, as to the agreement itself; it, in express words, states, that the Grand Junct;on Company shall make the Line; and when it'is considered that they were to provide half the capital, and also to guarantee interest upon the total amount, whatever that should be, it surely was most reasonable that they should be the makers of it. In Mr. Gore's statement, however, it is said, that " it is obvious to any impartial observer, that the word `make' is clearly modified and restraiucil from the meaning sought to be put uron it by the stipulation us to the leasing of the Line!' In refutation of this attempt to explain away the meaning of the word, the Directors beg to observe, that the two London and Birmingham Directors,_ who made the agreement, w i s h e d, a t th e ti me , th a t M r . Gore's party should be the makers of the Line, and they proposed (to the Grand Junction Directors) that the agreement should stand in that form ; the latter, however, after discussion of the matter with the London and Birmingham Direc tors, expressly refused to consent to the proposition, and the agreement was altered into its present form, and signed accordingly on behalf of both Companies. More need not be said in proof that all the parties to the agree ment, at the time they entered into it, intended precisely the same thing, and attached precisely the same meaning to the word " make" ; arid to spew that the London and Birmingham Directors held the same opinion at a later date, the Solicitor of that Company wrote to Mr. Roy. the Solicitor of the Shrewsbury party, on the 23rd of August, a letter, from which the following is an extract: " My understanding of the arrangement between your Company and the London and Birmingham, is as you have expressed it, namely, that the Grand Junction were to take no the agreement at the point where they had left it. I must say, also, that I contemplated that your Com pany were to be Lessors of the line, so as to cause its being made, and to that extent the moving party ; but I have invariably expressed my opinion, that virtually the making of the Line must be by the company guarantee ing the interest; the mode of carrying this out had never been discussed between us, and was, itt fact, the point at which we had just arrived, when the arrangement with the Grand JunCtion was made." To this the Directors will only further add, that their Solicitor had previously (namely on the 24th of July) been informed by the Solicitor of the London and Bir mingham Company, that Mr. Glyn was inclined to think, not that the Shrewsbury parties should make the Line, but that they " should he kept on until the Act of Par liament were obtained." thus distinctly excluding the idea that they were to be the makers of the Line, a duty which of course does not arise until after the period up to which, only, their services might (in his view) be retained. Having thus, they hope, conclusively established their first point,—that they were to be the makers of the Line, —the Directors proceed to the other question, whether the Shrewsbury party have or have not concurred in 'that agreement; and it is admitted to be a very material ques tion in the present position of affairs. In Mr. Gore's published statement it is alleged— " That the only concurrence ever given by thesis w as that contained in the letter of their Chairman of the 12th of July, inclosing the terms which recognised this Com pany as the makers of the Line; that this Committee have never, in the slightest degree, departed front that position ; they never have assented to the Grand Junction being the makers." The contrary has been quite as distinctly declared, on behalf of the London and Birmingham Directors, to the Grand Junction Directors; the former have reported to the latter, that the agreement of the 3rd July was read over to Mr. Gore and his friends, on the-10th July, and that he then " pointed out the discrepancy between the . . terms of the new arrangement and the previously existing agreement for making the Line, by which the Shrewsbury party were to be the makers of it, under the supervision of 'joint Committee; whereas by the new arrangement, the making of it is transferred to the G , and Junction Company." The Grand Junction Directors were in formed by Mr. Glyn, on the same day, that there was some little difficulty made by Mr. Gore and his friends upon some parts of the agreement, and that therefore their official concurrence in it might be a little delayed ; but on the 15th of July, the London and Birmingham Company sent the fallowing letter to the Grand Junction, without at all noticing Mr. Gore's to Mr. Glyn of the 12th, or in any other way indicating that there remained the slightest objection to the " new arrangement" : " London and Birmingham Railway Offices, Euston Station, 15th July, 1844. " MY DEAR Strt,—The day following my return from Birmingham, I made known to the Chairman of the Pro- . , visional Committee of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company the terms of our arrangement, so far as they were interested in it. This notice, which I accompanied with an assurance that the . Grand Junction Company fully intended to afford all the accommodation and faci lities which the Shrewsbury traffio might require, was received in good part, and it now only remains for .11r. Parker, Mr. Rog, and Mr. Swift to mei_t as soon as they can, on behalf of the three parties concerned, to give legal e f fect to our measures. " I am, dear Sir, p:mirs- faithfully, (Signed) , " GEO. CA lilt GLYN. " To John Moss, Esq." If the Grand Junction Directors could, after this letter, have had the slightest doubt of the fact of the concurrence of Mr. Gore's party in those measures, all such doubt. wou'd have been removed by a letter from the Loudon and Birmingham Chairman, dated as late as the 12th of September last, wherein he expressly repeats that that concurrence had been given. The misunderstanding, then, if any. exists, as to the nrrking cf the Line, has been between the Shropshire parties and the London and Birmingham Directors : the Grand Junction have neither caused nor contributed to it in any way whatever. In Mr. Gore's statement, again, reference is made to his letter of the 12th July, as showing that some terms had been then actually arranged between him and the London and Birmingham Company, including amongst them a provision that his party should be the makers of the Line ; and in the same letter again he refers to his meeting with the London and Birmingham Company of the Wednesday previous (the 10th of July), as if such a provision had been recognized at that Meeting ; whereas the London cad Birmingham Directors' Report of what passel at that Meeting distinctly states on the contrary, and Mr. Parker, their Solicitor, also writes, that the terms, so far from having been agreed upon, had never been even discussed ; and, moreover, (as will be seen by Mr. Creed's letter, which follows.) be exprei , sly stated to Mr. Roy, when he delivered Mr. Gore's letter of the 12th of July, that that letter was not consistent with the pledge of the Grand Junction Company, contained in the agreement read to the Shrewsbury Deputation. _ . - The Grand Junction Directors most sincerely regret the misunderstanding which appears to have taken place between the London - and Birmingham Directors and Mr. Gore and his friends; probably it may be traced to the fact ;published by Mr. Gore) that he has not communi cated with the Grand Junction direct: if he had done so, and if parties had met in an amicable spirit, all differences might have been avoided ; such a meeting war, in fact, arranged, and a day was fixed, but before that day arrived Mr. Gore thought proper to address to the - Grand Junc tion Direct,,rs, through the London and Birmingham, a letter, iu uhich he declined any meeting unless the Grand Junction would, as a preliminary, concede the point in dispute. In reply to this letter, the Grand Junction Di rectors transmitted to the London and Birmingham the following Resolutions, and here the matter has since rested : " Grand Jtfnction .Raihotly Office, Liverpool, 18th September, 1844. " The Board having cor,sidered a letter from the Se cretary of the London and Birmingham Railway, dated 16th instant, communicating or.e from Mr. Ormsby Gore to Mr. Glyn, on the subject of the proposed Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton Railway; " Resolved,— " That this Board cannot but feel the greatest regret and surprise, that the London and Birmingham Board should have allowed themselves to be made the medium of such a,communication as that from Mr. Gore (even overlooking the offensive and unmerited tone and style of it), since the purport of it is to call upon this Board to waive a most important point of their agreement with the London and Birmingham of the 3rd July last, and which point was fully discussed and considered before being consented to by Mr. Glyn and Mr. Smith, and which was ultimately embodied in the 3rd clause of that agree ment in the following words. viz.:— `' ' That the London and Birmingham is prepared, with the concurrence of their Shropshire party (which they will up•e their best endeavours to obtain), to withdraw from the guarantee towards the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Line; the Grand Junction, with the concurrence of their Stafford Shareholders, undertaking to make a Line to Wolverhampton, and guarantee four per cent. on the' capital, and an equal division of future profits ; the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Shareholders (under the same condition as the Stafford and Shrewsbury) having an option of half the capital; the Grand Junction Com pany having a lease in perpetuity, and working the Line in a manner convenient to that part of the country.' •• That Mr. Gore's demand. now, thst the Gentlemen, whOm be designates as the Board, of which he is the Chairman, shall be ' the makers and lessors of the Line,' is obviously riot only inconsistent with this agreement, (which, in so many words, provides that the Grand Junc tion Company shall be the 'makers' of the Line,) and with the rights of the latter, as the guarantors of interest on the evital to be expended on it, but is also wholly irreconcilable with the London and Birmingham Board's reports to this Board, that the Shropshire party bad ex pressed their concurrence in the agreement, after having I id ' made known to them the terms of it, so far as they were interested in it.' " That this Board- must, most distinctly, decline to make the ' declaration' required in Mr. Gore's letter. "That the London and Birmingham Board cannot but be aware, that this Board have all along been, and still are, willing and anxious to carry out the arrangement so made, both in letter and spirit ; and that as. in pursuance of it, this Board have abandoned their ,Sofford .and Shrewsbury L;ne, and have offered to Mr. Gore's party, through Mr. Boy, halt the capital in their Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury Line, (thus performing, in every respect, their part of the agreement.) they feel that they may properly and justly appeal to the London and Birmingham Board al , o to abide by it ; moreover, to urge/or the con tinued adherence of the Shropshire party ; since, as it appears to this Board, those Gentlemen have, by their concurrence in the agreement as made, fully recognised the whole arrangement. That if any:'difference shall ultimately arise upon the agreement, this Board will be prepared to refer that dif ference to the Board of Trade, to Sir Robert Peel, to Lord Granville Somerset, or to any other equally high and independent authority. " That a copy of these Resolutions be forthwith trans mitted to the London and Birmingham Board, and ano ther copy (with a copy of Mr. Gore's letter, of Mr. Jen kins', and Mr. Creeds') to the Hon. Mr. Clive." The Grand Junction Directors conceive they have only to publish the following letter, addressed to them by the Secretary of the London and Birmingham Railway Com pany, at the request of his chairman, in order to shew that down to the present moment there has been no change of purpose or plan, and (what is much more material) no failure of engagement whatever on the part of the Grand Junction Directors "Office, Euston-station, 2tith September. 1844. " MY DEAR SIR,—On tile return of Mr. Glyn from the conference of the 3rd July, at Birmingham, a commu nication was made to Mr. Gore and Mr. Clive, of the ar rangement which had been entered into with the Grand Junction Company. A deputation from their Provisional Committee thereupon attended our board, an,l the article of our agreement'which affected thent was read. " On the 12th July following, a letter was addressed to Mr. Glyn, to which Mr. Gore's name was affixed as chtfr man, and handed to me by Mr. Roy's nephew. On a pe rusal of the contents, I found the following words : Anxious, however, to form no abstacle in the carrying out of the amicable arrangements between such large in terests, and relying.upon the honour and integrity of the two companies [Grand Junction and London and Bir mingham] as pledged to carry out the contract already agreed upon, by our respective solicitors and subscribers —between the Shrewsbury Committee and your company, I am directed to express their perfect acquiescence in the agreement, whereby their line, as altered from Shrews bury to Wolverhampton—instead of to Birmingham, shall be leased to the Grand Junction Company, upon the iden tical terms already arranged in our negociations with you ;' and directly stated to Mr. Roy's nephew, who brought the letter, that it must be altered ; as not being consistent with the pledge of the Grand Junction Cons. patty, contained in the ogreetnent read to the Shrewsbury deputation. 1 returned the letter for this purpose, but it was sent to me the following day unaltered, with a request that it might be sent as it %slot to Mr. Ghn. The latter did not attach the same value that 1 did to the objection able words, _because, in point of fact, nothing had been dtfinitively agreed upon with the Shrewsbury Company and ourselves, except that we were to lease the line at a given rent. " When, however. the Shrewsbury party had given in their ultimatum, and that Mr. Roy. with his nephew, at tended our last board, 1 felt that it was equally due to the Grand Junction Board and our own, that I should recall to Mr. Roy's nephew, in the presence of the directors, what had passed between us on the subject of the letter of the 12th July. He frankly admitted that I had protested against Mr. Gore's assumption of a concession on the part of the Grand Junction Company ; for which, in my view of the terms of agreement, between the Grand Junction and London and Birmingham deputations, there was ❑o warrant. You may have taken a sound view, or you may not, of the wisest course to be adopted with the Shrews. bury party ; but they cannot say that you have failed in your engagements, either to them or to ; nor were we called upon to do more than offer our mediation on points in which you differed. 1 think it right that you should know what has passed on this occasion, and at the request of our chairman, I put you in possession of the facts as they occurred. " Yours, faithfully. "R. CREED. (Signed)' To Captain knish." After this letter the Grand Junction Directors feel that it is unnecessary to add another word in explanation of ' their conduct; but as the followbg letter from Mr. Glyn to Mr. Gore has been published, as Chewing that the fi.r mer had written something to Mr. Moss inconsistent with an admission on the part of the London and Birmingham that the Grand Junction were to "make" the Shrewsbury line, it is thought right to publish also the subsequent correspondence on the subject of that litter. [COPY OF TUE LETTER PUBLISHED IN MR. GORE'S STATEMENT.] " Lom bnrd- street, 26th August, 1844. " MY DEAR SIR,-Mr. Roy has handed me your note of the 1601 instant. I am surprised to find there can be any difficulty upon the particular point to which you al lude. We never raised any doubt upon that condition— indeed the very fact and stipulation of granting a lease to the incoming company, presupposes and settles the ques tion. I have written to Mr. Moss upon the subject, and stated my opinion to him. "Believe me, my dear Sir, " Yours truly, • (Signed) " GEO. CARR GLYN. " To W. Ormsby Gore, Eaq , M.P." [SUBSEQUENT CORRESPONDENCE AS TO IT ] • " Newton House, near Whitby, October 5111, 1814. "MY DEAR SIR,-1 observe in the Morning Chronicle of the 3rd instant a copy of a letter from you to Mr. 0. Gore, dated 26th August, wherein you say you had ' writ ten to Mr. Moss' upon the subject of ` some particular point' in Mr. Gore's letter of 16th August, &c., &v. May I beg the favour of the date of that letter. and a copy of it if you haie one. Address to me in Liverpool, where I return on Monday. "I am, my dear Sir, " Very faithfully yours. "JOHN MOSS. (Signed) " To Geo. Carr Glyn, Esq." " London, 7th October, 1844. " MY DEAR SIR ,--In reply to your note f r om Newton House, I am inclined to think there is some inaccuracy as to dates in the letter quoted to which you allude, but can state that the particular and only point to which I refer red, was the independence of the Shrewsbury and WOI- Terhampton Company, and its existence as a separtite un dertiking, that being settled by the stipulation of the lease required by the incoming company ; for we have uniformly maintained on the one side and the other, that making the line, strictly speaking, was with the Grand Junction, though as a question of policy. I have ventured to press upon you the expediency of settling with the S:+rewsbury parties under any circumstrnces, fearing the consequences which would ensue. " I find that I wrote to you on matters connected with the Shrewsbury affairs several letters in July and Septem ber, and on the 19th, 20th, 22d,' 23d, and alth August, (if my memoranda are correct) besides the interview which I had with you and Mr. Lawrence. `• Believe me, my dear Sir, "Yours faithfully, " GEO. CARR GLYN. (Signed) " To John Moss, Esq." " Otterepool, 11th October, 1814. " Mr DEAR Stn.—l thank you for your letter of the 7th ; but after Mr. Gore's manifesto, it is due to all con cerned, that the part each has taken in the Shrewsbury matter should be publicly and clearly understood. N ow , as I never, to the best of my recollection, received from you any letter whatever which is at all in accordance with the construction put by Mr. Gore, and which others ap pear to' put on your letter published to him of the 26th August, I am very anxious to know which particular letter of yours to me you allude to in in that letter to Mr. Gore. Will you be so good as to let me know. I 'may mention too that I have not any letter from you dated either the 19th, 20th, or 2-Ith August. though I have two which you do not refer to, dated the 21st and 25th August. " I am, my dear Sir, " Very faithfully yours, "JOHN MOSS. (Signed) " To Geo. Carr Glyn, Esq." " il'o/nerton, 13th Oeober, 1844. "My DEAR SlR,—Though I have started for a short time, in the hope of securing a little respite from these railway turmoils, yet I must acknowledge at once y,ur note of the llth, and accompany it by the request, that you will not hold me responsible for the acts and publica tions of the Shrewsbury Committee. The first intimation of the manifesto in question which I received was from the newspapers. It must be erident to every reader, that my note inserted in it replied to one point. only—the ex istence of the Shrewsbury Company, as a separate and in. dependent undertaking, as I have already noticed to you. " I think, as far as my recollection enables me to reply from hence, several of the numerous letters on the Shrop shire affair pressed upon you the expediency of settling with the Shrewsbury Company; and am confident that wrote to you a letter, under date of the 19th August, stating my views more particularly ; and which I had in my mind when writing to Mr. Gore. The question of making the line was matter for negociation, and I certainly hoped from the tenor of the conversation between you, Mr. Lawrence, and me, that this would have been arran ged, feeling that a measure of such great importance to all interested should not be allowed to fall through upon such a point, more especially as in other ways efficient controul over the outlay could be insured to you. "My movements are uncertain, but letters addressed to Lombard. street will always eventually find me. " Believe me, my dear Sir. yours truly, (Signed,) " GEO. CARR GLYN. " To John Alois, Esq." : It-can •hardly be necessary after these letters to add, that Mr. Moss never received any letter from Mr. Glyn on which he could have put the construction suggested in Mr. Gore's published statement ; nor can the Grand Junc tion directors admit for a moment that the London and Birmingham would have had, at any time alter their J u ly agreement. a right to allude to the making of the line as "matter for negociation," in their correspondence with any party, without the previous consent of the Grand Junction Comrany, that point having been discussed be fore the agreement, and concluded by it. Upon the merits of the Shrewsbury and Wolverhamp ton line, and its • prospects, either per se or as compared with the Shrewsbury and Birmingham , or on the characte r or probable cost or revenue of the latter, the Grand Junc tion Directors do not proposl to enter ag a i n , h av i ng in their former statemen t su b mi tt ed their views on th ose subject e detailed, they gen tl e men who compose the p rov i s i onal committee of the SIP ewsbury and Birmingh am li ne, f or entire exone ration from the charge of a desire (what they most un feignedly &scloitn) to " dictate" to any party ; an d th ey u now trust that th..! Shropshire party, as well as the public, w ill be ready to concur in the admission of the London and Birmingham Company, that the Grand Junction Company have not failed in their engagements to any .party. .

THIS Undertaking, commencing on the Banks of the A Navigable River Trent at Newark, passing through the• Towns of Southwell and Mansfield, and connecting it self, at Chesterfield, with the existing and projected Mid. land Railways, will form a continuous and direct commu. nicarion between the Agricultural and producing districts of Nottinghamshire and the South Eastern parts of the Kingdom on the one hand, and the large consuming Towns and Districts of West Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire. and the Port of Liverpool on the other. 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 impc;rtsnt towns. A careful examination of the Country through which this Line will pass, by Engineers of acknowledged emi nence, enables the promoters 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 remune 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 Prodnce, or Minerals, inasmuch as the Dis trict is not provided with any means of Transit beyond 'the ordinary Turnpike Roads. Twelve Daily Coaches are now required to convey the Passenger Traffic through the District which this Line will accommodate, at once demonstrating its importance and the necessity which exists for its construction. , This Line, intended to communicate with the existing Mansfield and Pinxton Railway, at Mansfield, will form the newest and most direct route that can be ma4ebttween the Agricultural Districts to the East and South-east of Newark and the great central Ceat Field of Derbyshire and NottinghtnAhire, 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-knr,wn Quarries of Building stone with which the District of Mansfield and Wootihou*c abound* ; as writ as with the Lime produced in that neighbourhood, sti.miebrated for build ing and other purposes. _ • The Promoters are enabled, after a careful analysis of the Traffic which wilt come upon this Line, to state that a profit of at least 7 per cent. will be realized upon the estimated capital of £600,000 after deducting 'lo•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 he limited by the Act of Parliament W 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. As a considerable portion of the Shares arc already ap plied for, no application will be received after the sth November next, on which day the Committee will meet to allot the Shares. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Con tract will be ready for signature at the time the deposits arc received, and a copy will lie I,r signature at one of the Company's Bankers, at each of the following places London, Manchester, Sheffield, Chesterfield, Mansfield, Southwell, New•atk, and Nottingham. References ail be required from all applicants for shares who are not known to some members of the Com mittee, the Solicitors, or respectable Sharebrokere. Applktations 1;r Shares, in the Form below, are re quested to be made to the Solicitors, Messrs. R. and R. CAPARN, Newark, and Messrs. PARSONS and BF,NN, Mansfield ; to Messrs. BARKER, ROSE. and NOKTON, 50, Mark-lane, the London Agents ; or to the following Sharebrokers :—Mr. WILKINSON ' S, St. Mildred's-court, Poultry, London; Mr. 1. W. SCOTT, 3, Bartholomew- Lute, London ; Mr. HALL, 2, Mersey-street. Liverpool ; Mr. J. DUNCUFT, Manchester; Messrs. WARBURTON and Co., Newcastle-upon-Tyne. _ FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. - I request you will secure to me Shares in the NEWARK AND SHEFFIELD RAILWAY, upon the terms of the Prospectus. And I agree to take such Shares as may be allotted to me, arid to pay the Deposits upon the sail e, and execute the Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement when required ; and my re reference, pursuant to the Prospectus, is to Dated , 1844. -Name. Residence. Trade or Profession. To the Provisional Committee of the Newark and Sheffield Railway, Mansfield. SHREWSBURY AND WOLVERHAMPTON RAILWAY. THE Directors of the Grand Junction Railway, having read the statement which has appeared in several recent Newspapers, bearing the signature of Mr. Ormsby Gore, Chairman of the Provisional Committee of a pro posed Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway, consider it due.to their Shareholders and themselves to offer the fol lowing observations on that statement. Referring then, in the first instance, to thecharge made in it, that the Grand Junction!Company have claimed to. dictate to four great counties f! what Railway and what Railway only" they shall have, the--Directors beg to state, (though they might have hoped it would not have been necessary for them to disclaim any such pretension as regards any part of the country,) that not only have they never asserted or presumed to set up such a claim, but that, as respects the particular Railway now in ques tion, they did not even enter upon the consideration of it until pressed so to do by partiesat Shrewsbury. Upon receipt of a requisition, in January last, they obtained from their Shareholders at aipublic meeting full and ge neral authority to construct a Railway to connect Shrews fairy With the Grand Junction Railway, and they bad various surveys made with a view to the discovery of .the best Line ; they soon found that, as regards the North, (Manchester and Yorkshire for instance,) no point on their Line further South than Stafford could be considered as offering any considerable accommodation ; whilst, as re gards London and the East, they found that as the Trent Valley Railway would seorten the distance to London nine miles, as compared with the existing route via Wol verhampton and Birmingham, besides giving a direct communication with Derbyshire and the East, Stafford was clearly the best Terminus for the Railway from Shrewsbury, upon public grounds; and at the same time that a Line to that Terminus would be much cheaper than any other which is attainable, and also be the most promising as regards the prospect of traffic, becaMse af fording improved communication wi h the North and the East, as well as the South. Accordingly the Directors made the necessary prepara tions for bringing the Staffi.)rd and Shrewsbury Line be fore Parliament next Session; the Sutiscription List was filled, and the deposits paid, inhabitants of Shrewsbury taking some Shares. To this point all that the Grand Junction Directors had done was done at the instance, and with the concurrence, of inhabitants of Shrewsbury; "dictation," therefore, cannot surely be charged against them, At a later date, however, and (which it is material to mention) after the publication of the re soluti .ns of the Grand Junction Pro prietors authorising their Directors to proceed with the Line, certain Profeisional Geetlemen (for in the first in.
