THE DIRECTORS of the LONDON and RIR- IkIINGH 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 Junc tion Board. They are prepared to lay open to the in spection of their own proprietors, or to print fur their use, if desired, every document connected with the recent negotiation between the Shropshire Committee and them selves, together with the communications which have been addressed on this subject to the Grand Junction Board but they cannot think it either reqciisite or desirable that matters- Inving 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 their pending arrangements with the London and Birmingham Direc tors, under the agreen - ent of the 3d July last, nothing certainly has occurred which could bind the Shropshire Committee to th , stipuleion 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 Shropshire Committee, and it is evident, even had the principle been recognised by , both parties, that under no circums.ancss could such a ccnclusion 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 bath 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 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 professi , nal 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 iinportaut and influential connections represented by the Shrewsbury Committee, they had taken a course eminently calculated to promote the interests of that Cernpany. 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 aetual 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 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 -, ntion of the Board of 6th September are communi rrS' "le Grand Junction Board. sated to: .s.s awl Birmingham Directors have only in The Lonuu. - -at their deep regret that arrangements conclusion to expi s. 'sn to promote the best interests of _ calculated in their opine , • been marred ; but they are both Companies should have been wanting on their satisfied that no endeavours have part to impress upon the Grand Jun.'tion Directors the evil consequences which may result from the difference with the Shropshire Committee. By order of the Board, • R. CARED, Secretvy. Office, Dolton Station, Oct. 21, 1844. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY REDUCTION OF FARES. THE Public are respectfully informed, that on and after SATURDAY, the 2d of November next, the fol lowing will be the Passenger Fares between Liverpool and Manchester ! First Class Fares. . Second Class Thud Class 2s. Gd. DAY TICKETS (net Transferable) to Manchester or Liverpool and Back on the same day Ten Shillings, equalling each way Five Shildngs. The Public 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 line. The Times of Departure w:11 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 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 latrly 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 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 speculative spirit abroad, which, every day, conjures into shape and promise new and rival projects, existing lines must be prepared, even at some sacrifice, to supply the public with ample accommodation, on the most reasonable terms, if they woul I maintain the ground which they have heretofore occupied—each in its own locality. Fur this purpose the outlay of additional capital may he 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.

DY this undertaking it is proposed to establish a direct 1- 1 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 Mcndlesbam, 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 m7de. 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 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 Brand( n 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 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 ce - it. 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 wnoh 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 Hamburgh, 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. Applications for shares may be addressed to Messrs. FORSYTH and PRITCHARD, Liverpool; and J. B. LOCKE, E , q., and JOHN BARLOW, Esq., Manchester, of whom Prospectuses may be obtained.

THIS Undertaking, commencing on the B inks of the Navigable River Trent at Newark, passing through the Towns of Southwell and Mansfield, and connecting it self, at Chesterfiell, with the existing and projected Mid land Railways, will form a continuous and direct commo n' cation 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 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 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 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 nearest and most direct route that 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 74 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 es 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 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 applicants for shares who are not known to some members of the Com mittee, the Solicitors, or respectable Sharebrokers. Applintions for Shares, in the Form below, are re quested to be made to the Solicitors, Messrs. R. and R. CAPARN, Newark, and Messrs. PARSONS and HENN, Mansfield ; to Messrs. BARKER, Hose, and Noarow, 50, Mark-lane, the London Agents ; or to the following Sharebrokers :—Mr.WILKINSON, 8, St. Mildred's-court, Poultry, London; Mr. I. W.

FHE SHARES in this Company having been all o t e d and the arrangements completed for applying to Par liament in the next session, the Committee beg to an nounce the course which the Line will take. 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 Altringham, from which plleas 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.

PHIS Railway will connect the North of Scotland with A all the proposed and present Railways in the South and led directly from Aberdeen to Edinburgh and Glas gow. Its length will be about 50Imiles, and the distances from Aberdeen to the foliowiag important places will be as follows : viz., MILES To Edinburgh. via Arbroath, Dundee, and through Fife.... - 125 Do. via Forfar, Perth, and Stirling.. To Glasgow, via Do. Do. Do 152 Do _ . via Dundee, Perth, and Stirling 157 The rosition of Aberdeen among the towns of Scotland is next in importance to that of Edinburgh and Glasgow ; and with the view of adopting the Line best calculated to unite Aberdeen with these and other populous cities, and to secure the most favourable communication with the South, Mr. Cubitt, after a careful personal survey, has reported his decided approval of the Line now proposed, and which may be described as follows :—From Aberdeen, by Stonehaven, Druinlitbe, Laurencekirk,Marykirk, Dub ton, near Montrose. and Bridge of Dun, near Brechin, to Froickheim and Guthrie, points about seven miles from Arbroath and F.,:far, in the present Line of Railway to these towns. Mr. Cubist 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 e v id ence to Parliament that the tra ffi c will yield a return of eight per cent. to the Shareholder. After the act is obtained, interest at the rate of four per cent. will be alowed upon the calls from the date of pay ment until the Line is opened for traffic. The Parliamentary Plans will be completed in time for deposit, so that application may be made to Parliament for the act next session. _ Copies of Mr. Cubitt Report and Sketches of the Line may be obtained at the Company's Office, 2, Moorgate §tmt; London. where applications for the remaining Mr. S:erndale Bennett has been engaged to conduct one of his overtures, and to play. at One of the Litcrpool phillprmonic concerts in December. TO THE SHAREHbLDERS OF THE EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY. GENTLEMEN, —your chairm an h as o bli g i ng l y, b ut i n a manner personal to myself, furnished you etch with a re port of the proceedings at the recent special general meet ing of the company, which was attended by twenty-five persons, including reporters and elerks,.and held for the purpose of voting away £lOO,OOO (which must be bor rowed) to the Kilm, mock, Dumfries, and Carlisle scheme. He has also kindly repeated what I had previous!) , men tioned, namely, that I am (by inclination, not from ne cessity) the holder of only one share of the company's ock ; and he might haVe distinctly stated that I am (in place of insidiously saying that " I was") vice-chairman of the committee of management of the Caledonian Rail. way Company. He might have further info' med you of the fact, that I 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 holder of that one share was solicited by the secretary, and had the honour of de clining, to propose a rote 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 conference with the promoters or the Caledonian line, as promised to Mr. BLACKADDER by your chairman. But— He has not acquainted you, either in his recent address, speech, or h tter, with the amount of your stock held by the gentleman who spoke at the late meeting against your granting £lOO,OOO, and who concluded by adhering to tha protest. _ _ He has not informed you how highly successful were the committee of the Ki►marnock, Dumfries, and Carlisle scheme, when they "sat in London for the purpose of 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, Dumfries, and Carlisle project, have been ap piled for or allotted, nor what amount of deposit has bees paid thereon. He has failed to acquaint you with the amount of monied ' interest taken in this scheme by the districts around Duca -1 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 agreed 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, arc 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-west 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 thejine.— And, finally, He has not said that there is to be any limit to the es pen di lure of your company's funds in opposing the Cale donian railway bill. GENTLEMEN,—Your chairman having altogether omit ted to avert to these particulars, 1 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 right 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. - ing Jourrol. 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 been the want of g arflicient qua rtity of water in the boiler at the time that the beat u iderneath was very great. In many instances, the deficiency of water has tesulted from the negligence of the attendant engineer, combined with the fact that nq alarm wa3 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 bo ler at the time of working, and which will act as powerful alarm in case of danger, has just been applied to the steam-boilers at one of the largest manufacturing establishments in the neighbourhood cf 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 be Consumed in the genera tion of steam, and at the top of such tube putting one of t"e common whistles that are attached to the railway 10-' comotive-engines, a eery 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 is 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 young fellow, about sixteen or seventeen years of age, began to ascend the pillar, and, after " tugging away" for some time, he 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, 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 con'inued 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 suppose] 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, on looking into the river, they perceived the bodies of a gentleman and lady, in comparatively shallow water, and about ten feet from the bank. These bodies were found to he attached by two handkerchiefs, (red and white,) knotted together and tied round the arm of each. Beth were welldressed, and bad 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, Esq., , 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 w's 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 Donstable 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 lettrr " B " engraven, a silver pencd-case, a gold ring on his finger, one shilling and sixpence is silver, and twopence halfpenny in copper in his pocket; also, a gold tooth-pick, in an ivory case, 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 tihheaitrabloaddiy andes .On maki ng i nqu i ry i n town, we understand 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 town; 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 arty el aim on them 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 exhausted their means so far, but the valuables they possessed could have afforded them the means of lirelihocd tbr some time longer. The keys faund on their persons answer the trunks; but the requi• site authority has not yet been ob'ained fot opening these receptacles.— Kiimarnook Journal.
