Tarvin Hall, September, 1814. er HE DIRECTORS of the LONDON and BIR MINGHAM 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 Junc 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 negociation between the Shropshire Comrnitteoand them 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 negociations 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 their pending arrangements with the London and Birmingham Direc tors, under the agreement of the 3d July last, nothing certainly has occurred which could bind the Shropshire Committee to th' 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 London and Birmingham Directors and the Shro p shire Committee, and it is evident, even had the principle been recognised by both parties, that under no circumstances could such a conclusion have been arrived at without the settlement of preliminary arrangements by which the best line of communication 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 sroposal 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 date, and practically the Grand 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 professional advisers on both sides, the London and Birmingham Directors do not think it necessary to offer any remarks on such an 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 conceived that in endeavouring to secure for the Grand Junction Com pany important and 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 Committee 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 antual construction of the works, and the making of contracts for them. The Directors must, however, express their surprise that the Shrewsbury Committee should on their part have publisned an extract from a note by Mr. Glyn, (approved. it is trite, 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 2iforning 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 commun'cation, 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 p romo t e th e b es t i nteres t s o f both Companies should have been marred g but they are satisfied that no endeavours have hem wanting on their part to impress upon the Grand Junction Directors the evil consequences which may result from the difference with the Shropshire Committee. By order of the R. CREED, Secreta•y. Office Etlion Station, Oct. 21 , 1844 . THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY REDUCTION OF FARES. THE Public are resp ec tf u lly i n f orme d, that o n an d after SATURDAY, the 2d of November nest, the fol lowing will be the Passenger Fares between Liverpool and Manchester : First Class Fares.. Second Class Third Class 21 63 . DAY TICKETS (not Transferable) to Manchester or Liverpool and Back on the same day Ten Shillings, equalling each way Five Shillings. The l'ublic are further informed that from and after the same date there will be Two Third Class Trains per Day, one in the Morning and one in the Evening, from each end of the flue. The Times of Departure w,ll 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 Sa:ford, 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 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 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 from 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 woul 1 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 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 bnatile undertakings.

BY this undertaking it is proposed to establish a direct Railway communication between the city of Norwich (the metropolis of the eastern district of England) join the the town and port of Ipswich, at which p'ace it will 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 Ilarleston, Bungay, and Beccles, and ihe 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 Itail.vay from 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 Brandon 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 affords 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 ha. 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 th - 6 present traffic bet Ween 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 cent. 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 accommodated 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, not only with the Line to Nor wich, but with a Line now projected, branching from this undertaking at a point 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 communication, at Ipswich. with the line of steamers proposed to be esta blished from Harwich harbour to Hanaburgh, 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 Com pany, within twenty-four hours of Hamburgh. The usual powers will be taken in the act to allow in terest at four per cent. on the amount of subscriptions paid up. ApplicationsAr Shares may be addressed to Messrs.

The Railway will join the Chester and Birkenhead Railway, by a branch near Bebbington, for the Birkenhead traffic, and by a brarch 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 Altringham, from which plice 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.

THIS Undertaking, comm enc i ng on t h e B an k s o f t h e 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 nication between the Agricultut al 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 L'ne 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 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 lass 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 beyond the ordinary Turnpike Roads, Twelve Daily Coaches are how 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 Lin*, intended to communicate with the existing Mansfield and Pinxton Railway, at Mansfield, will form the nearest and most direct route thlt can be made between the Agricultural Districts to the East and South-east of Newark 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 X 600,000 after deducting '4O per cent. for working expenses. A Depo;it 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, from 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 deposita are received, and a copy will lie fur 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 applicants for shares who are not known to some members of the Cow- mittee, the Solicitors, or respectable Sharebiokers. Applications for Shares, in the Form below, are re quested to be made to the Solicitors, Messrs. It. and R. quested to be made to the Solicitors, Mesors. It. and R. CAPARN, Newark, and Messrs. PARSONS and BLNN, Mansfield ; to Messrs.

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY. GENTLEMEN —Your chairman has obligingly, but in a manner personal to myself, furnished you each with a rea port of the proceedings at the recent special general meet ing of the company, which was attended by twenty-five persons, including reporters and clerks, and held for the purpose of votiny away £lOO,OOO (which must be bor rowed) to the Kilm. rnock, Dumfries, and Carlisle scheme. He has also kindly repeated what I had previous'y men tioned, 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 voted that I am (in place of insidiously saying that " I was") vice-chairman of the committee of management of the Caledonian Rea -1 way Company. Ile might have further informed you of the fact, that I purchased that Gne shore of your stock, for the purpose of bringing on a late occasion to the aid of your board or management, on a vital question, a considerable amount of support; and he might h ave a dd e d t h at, at a late gene ral meeting o f the company, the bolder of that one share was solicited by the secretary, and had the honour of de clining, to propose a vote of thanks to the chairman. So far, gentlemen, for the information, personal to my self, furnished by your chairman in his recent letter, — such a course, perhaps, not being likely to promote a friendly cot& rence with the promoters of the Caledonian line, as promised to Mr. BLACKADDER by your chairman. But — He has not acquainted you, either in his recent address, speech, or letter, with the amount of your stock held by the gentleman who spoke at the late meetinz 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 cf as signing such shares, in limited numbers, to such parties of respectability as should apply personally, or by letter accompanied by reference!" He has not told you what number of shares of this Kil marnock, Dumiiies, and Carlisle project, have been ap piled for or alktted, 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 around 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, have egreed to the line being taken by the best and most direct route. He has not told you how deeply 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 Glasgow 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-wes.t of the island. . He has not alluded to the powerful interest and high recommendations that the proposed Caledonian line, as 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 ing an act of parliament for the formation of the line.— And, finally, He has not said that there is to be any limit to the ex-_ pendilure of your company's funds in opposing the Cale donian railway bill. GENTLEMEN,-Y our chairman having altogether omit ted to avert to these particulars, I take the liberty of bringing them under your notice.—And am, your obedi ent humble servant, WILLIAM GRAHAM. THE 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 unsightly dis figurement 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 TWA angles with the stern, that she has a hori zontal movement at the will of the steersman, and thus becomes both propeller and rudder; it will turn horizon tally, without affecting its vertical motion to the extent of half a circle—and 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 this princi ple can be applied to sailing vessels of any size, even to line of battle ships—and 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-toilers h-s been the want of a a ancient qua-fifty of water in the boiler at the time that the heat teiderneath was vet y great. In many instances. the deficiency of water has resulted from thenegligence of tic attendant engineer, combined with the fact that no alarm was given, previous to the moment of explosion, of the exact state of the water in the boiler. Happily, an efficient and simple exponent of the depth of water in the boles at the time of working, and which will act as a powerful alarurn in case of danger, has just been applied to the steam-t•olers at one of the largest manufacturing establishments in the neighbourhood of Leeds. By af fixing a small pipe in communication with the interior of the boiler at that point below which it is well known to be unsafe to allow the water to he consumed in the genera tion of steam, and at the top of such tube putting one of tl:e common whistles that are attached to the railway lo comotive-engines, a very efficient alarum, as we have al ready said, is forme ; for as soon as the water within the boiler has been consumed below the point where the pipe enters the boiler, the steam will rush up the pipe, and thence into the whistle, giving a timely warning of the deficiency of water in the boiler. DANGEROUS FEAT.—On Saturday evening week a ' large crowd of persons were collected in Sacville street, Dublin, in consequence of seeing two young men stand ing on the top of Nelson's Pillar. One of them, a fine voung fellow, a bout sixteen or seventeen years of age, began to ascend the pillar, and, after " tugging away" for some time, lie succeeded in getting on the capstan, which 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, aed, hav ing looked around him for a moment, he seated himself. with the greatest apparent complacency, on the head of the figure', where lie continued several minutes, waving his cap. He then raised himself, and stood on the head 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. Having 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 immortal 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 supposed 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 Kilmarnoek, they observed a hat and veil tied on a parasol stuck in the ground a short distance from the water's edge ; and, on looking into I ? ) o e w bodies r .of and a gaebnotutetni ten an feetan d lady,the r iver, in th ey comparatively perceived from the bank. These bodies were found to b e a tt ac h e d sa by two handkerchiefs, (red and white,) knotted together and tied round the arm of each. Both were well dressed, and had the appearance of persons moving in a respectable rank of life. Inside of the gentleman's hat was an ad dress written thus :—" H. J. Atkinson, Fsq., King-- street, Cheapside, 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 vses dressed in a black coat, black vest, with under satin vest, trousers of dark blue doe-skin, with boots. He 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 Donstahle bonnet, a boa round her neck, black silk gloves, with a plain gold ring on her 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 silver pencil case, a gold ring on his finger, one shilling and sixpence in silver, and turoeence halfpenny in copper in his pocket ;- also, a gold tcoth-pick, in an ivory case, &e. 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. On making irquiry in town, we understand that a lady and gentleman answering to the above descrip tion, came on Tuesday to reside at the Commercial Inn, Kilmarnock, having arrived by railway from Glasgow. They brought two trunks, but gave no address. They seemed to have no acquaintances in then ; but took frequent walks in company along the streets, and ap peared to live most agreeably together. On Wednesday, after taking dinner, they left the inn, about five o'clock, p-m., intimating 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 claim on them in this neighbourhood. They lived as man and wife, and, wherever they have come from, hare kept their names a strict secret. From the small sum of money found on their tersons, they ap peared to have exhausted their means so far, but the va'uahles they possessed could have sift)! ded them the means of liselilioed for some time longer. The keys found on their persons answer the trunks ; but the requi site authority l , as not yet been obtained for opening these receptacles.-- Krltyzarnock Journal, UTILITY OF CONSTANT STUDY.—In my youth I wra very much devoted to reeding ; anti even now, old as I uni, I employ iti it sll the moments of leisure left me ley State affairs.
