The object of this Company is , he erection' of Ceme-
teries for the burial of the dead in different parts of the kingdom,
lby advancing one-half, or if necessary a greater proportion, of the
• 'Capital requisite for each undertaking, on being allowed a corre-
sponding pi oportion of the profits, provided that the Company
approve of such intended Cemeteries ; and provided that the Act
of Parliament for the incorporation of each local Company contain
no invidious distinction between Churchmen and Dissenters.
The advantages of public Cemeteries arc beginning to be gene-
qh.--s. rally appreciated, In most of the towns of England and Wales the
burial places arc decidedly insufficient, and public decency as well
4. as public health demands that densely populated neighbourhoods
should be relieved from the harrowing sights and-noxious effluvia
' arising therefrom.
ICot only do considerations of health and decency require a change,
but the pious affection of surviving relatives, that seeks by moon-
• mental records to do homage to the virtues and memories of their
departed friends, has no means in crowded churchyards of realizing
its desires. Thickly-set gravestones interspersed with the whiten-
ing bones of the dead, leave no room for the labours of the chisel
or the genius of the sculptor.
In a pecuniary point of view the results of the Cemeteries already
established are eminently favourable; as an instance, the la
Shares in the Rusholmc-road burial-ground, in the neighbourhood
of Manchester, are now worth near 401.
Prospectuses containing the names of the Provisional Directors
will be ready in a few days, and may be had at the Office of Messrs.

fields; or of their Parliamentary Agents, Messrs. Lord and North-
house, 13, Northumberland-street, Charing-cross.

C. Ellis Welbourne, Esq.
The very great and peculiar advantages possessed by this Junc-
tion Railway over almost every other project that has passed Par-
liament, or is now before the Public, may be appreciated by an
attentive perusal of the following facts :-
Ist. The line, in an engineering point of view, is extremely fa-
vourable, being on a dead level nearly the whole of the distance,
and is so admirably fitted for the construction of a Railroad as to
elicit from H. Handley, Esq„ the :Member for Lincolnshire, the
following remarks on the peculiar advantages which the County
possesses : .

" It was a matter of very clear calculation that the agricultural
interest would benefit as much by the establishment of Railways as
the manufacturing or any other interest in the country. It was
commonly said that the farmers were half a century behind
the rest of the community in improvement. If they were to
neglect the great modern improvement of Railways, they
would be a whole century behind. It was not a question now
of IL:Away or no Railway; the only anxiety was the best line of
Raliway. The country was a dead flat ; and a Lincolnshire black-
smith and a Lincolnshire ditcher would be almost all that was ne-
cessary. A short time since a very strict and accurate experiment
was made of the loss suffered by a drove of sheep in driving them to
London. It was found that there was a loss of 81bs. weight in
each sheep. When he stated, also, that the loss on a bullock was
from 255. to 30s. in driving it to London, the importance of Rail-
way communication would be at once perceived. He should add,
that the time occupied in driving sheep from Lincolnshire to Lon-
don was eight days. Now here was a loss of time and produce to
the agriculturist ! Supposing the farmer could send his stock by
the Railway at the same cost as driving them, still there was the
time saved. Instead of eight days they would be able to send their
stock to London in as many hours : and do not let it be forgotten
that their stock would arrive in London in a much better and
more saleable condition ; and that the meat, instead of being, as it
now frequently is, from the driving, in a state unfit for food, woul,A
be in prime and wholesome condition. Do you think the agri..ed-
turists cannot understand this benefit ? They would soon fird that,
if they neglected the advantage of Railway communicaton, while
ether districts enjoyed it, their prosperity would melt away, to use
a Lincolnshire phrase, like tallow in the sun. So much for the
carriage of Stock ; but the carriage of grain would be not less be-
neficial to the agriculturists, and profitable to the Company.
2d. The port of Hull, with its commodious and magnificent
Docks, enjoys the greater part, and might enjoy nearly the whole,
of the Baltic trade , and by being connected with Birmingham,
and the great Iron Districts ; Staffordshire, and the Pottery Dis-
tricts ; Nottingham, Leicester, Derby, and the Manufacturing
Districts (with the whole of which this Railway will immediately
connect it), will possess facilities beyond those of any other Port,
for the exportation of British raw and manufactured produce.
3d. This Railway will connect Hull with London by a journey
of not more than eight hours, instead of the present dilatory and
sometimes dangerods conveyance by steam-packets and coaches,
occupying from thirty to thirty-six hours, and which carry thousands
of passengers pse week.
4th. The agricultural produce of Lincolnshire will be conveyed
both south and north ; cattle, which now arrive in London in a
sickly and wasted condition from the rich pastures of Lincolnshire,
may be conveyed in a fat and health state ; and corn and wool will
be transmitted to the great manufacturing districts of the West
Riding of Yorkshire, by the junction with the " Hull and Selby,"
and " Selby and Leeds" Railways, for which Acts have alredy
been obtained.

sth. As the Railway will pass over the Great North Road at or
-near Newark, it will he the most direct conveyance, by its junc-
tion with the " Midland Counties Railway " and the " London and
Birmingham Railway," from the Metropolis to any part of the
north of the United Kingdom.
6th. During the summer season it will be the best route from
London and the Aland Counties to the fashionable water-
ing-places--Scarborough, Burlington, &c., &c. In the winter
it is certain that it will entirely supersede steam conveyance by
water, which at present averages, between Hull and London, above
600 passengc;,s per day.
7th. From the calculations that have been made from official
sources, the present business between the points of traffic would
more than pay the expenses, and allow a profit to the proprietors ;
yet, in addition to the peculiar local advantages which the port of
Hull, and the junction with the other railways afford it, Dr.
Lardner has given evidence that the result of all the railways
al-
ready completed, has been found, on an average, to quadruple
the goods and passengers previously conveyed along the same line
of road. . .

Bth. No serious opposition can be anticipated irnrn any quarter
,
to this Railway, as the line is free from Gentlemen's seats and
does not. interfere with any other line cornr:Leted or contemplated.
The accompanyin,, Map will convince, every one who inspects it
that no other Railway in the kingdoln posses so many local and
commercial advantages.
