LONDON NORTHERN RAIL ROAD
COMPANY.—The advantages of a speedy, cheap, and
certain communication between the great towns in the manu-
facturing districts of England and the Metropolis, have at all
' times attracted public attention. The beneficial influence of
such a communication, improved to its utmost degree of per.
1 fection, upon those main sources of Great Britain's wealth and
power, her manufactures, and her commerce both foreign and
domestic, is too obvious to need any comment or illustration.
[ ' Various modes of conveyance for goods or passengers, possess.
ing respectively their peculiar advantages, have accordingly
from time to time been devised, and have contended for a pre-
ference with much benefit to the community.
The principle of extending such communication by the
1 means of Rail-roads has already, in a multitude of instances,
undergone the test of experiment, and its superior utility, un-
fl der many circumstances of inevitable occurrence, is sufficiently
established. Both the principle and practice, however, by the
ii progress of science, have been receiving, and still admit of,
improvement.
In proposing, therefore, to open and facilitate, upon this
principle, a more commodious intercourse betwixt the Metro.
polio and important Towns, and districts to the Northwards, to
F the distance of Manchester and Hull, " The London Northern
Rail-Road Company" do not proceed upon speculative and un-
",. certain grounds. To facilitate and increase that intercourse,
1
and also that with the intermediate important (owns of Bir-
mingham, Macclesfield, Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, and
Northampton, &that of the great manufacturing district between
Manchester and- Hall, thus affording the opportunity for use-
ful
11 ..' to be an object well deserving public support, and consistent
with the policy entertained bil.the most enlightened Members
of our Government and Legislature, in affording the greatest
possible encouragement to Commercial Enterprize, and to the
free circulation of' Capital.
The Promoters of the London Northern Rail-road, although
not the earliest in that career of public improvement, have
directed their view to the increased prosperity of the Metropolis,
and of places with which its intercourse is of primary im.
portance.
The London Board of Direction is appointed, and consists of
if the following Gentlemen :

4PPlication to Parliament early in the Session, which will now
succeed that now apprOaching.

hi the line, of the proposed Rail-roads who may be inclined to
become Subscribers, and the Board will readily attend to any
c°llunttnications frora the country which may be directed to the
aloft advantageous execution of the plan.

That the thanks of the Meeting be given to the Flag Officers

That the thanks of the Meeting be given to Admiral the
Right Hon. the Earl of Northesk, G.C.B. for his able con-
duct in the Chair.

The Bath Branch beg to call the attention of the Officers re-
siding in Bath and its vicinity to the following Extracts from
the Rules and Report of the Parent Society :
" The object of the Society is to provide a stock or fund for
the paying 'annuities to the widows, children, parents, and
sisters of the deceased Members, agreeably to the several Acts
of Parliament for the benefit of friendly societies.
" The Society is open to receive as its Members, Flag Officers,
Captains, Commanders, Lieutenants, Masters, Surgeons, Pur-
sers, Chaplains ; and Officers of the Royal Marines, and their
respective Widows ; and by paying according to the following
Table, Subscribers at their death will insure an annuity to their
nominees :

If the Subacri-
her be Years

Annual Sub-
scription,
may .be paid
quarterly.

If the Nominee be Five
Years younger than the
Subscriber, he or she is to
pay as under, and at the
same rate for every year
s. d. exceeding Five.
Under 30 1 0 0 Bs. ad:-
From 30 to 40 1 10 0 pie 6d.
40 to AO 2 0 0 1 ls. Oil.
50 to 60 2 10 0 13s. fid.
60 to 65 3 0 0 15s. Od.
65 to 70 3 10 0 16s. Od.
" Should any Member. be unable to pay the sum specified in
the above Table at one time, he is at liberty to do so by st.pa-
rate payments of not less than 2/. per quarter ; after the first
quarter, interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, will be
charged on the remaining sum.
No Officer, above the age of 60, shall be admitted, unless
he pays double subscriptions and entrance ninnies, as above.
No Claimant can receive any benefit from the Society until
the Subscriber shall have been five years a Member.
" The Committee of the Parent Society, in presenting their
first Annual Report,. heartily congratulate its Members and
Friends on the eminent succecs that has attended the esta-
blishment of the Institution, which is daily advancing in ex-
tent and consequent importance. They have the pleasing duty
of reporting that they have already 6,513/. 13s. Ild. deposited
in the Savings Banks as their capital stock.
" To afford a competent income the Society is endeavouring
to establish an adequate fund, in full confidence that as there
is no object more worthy the support of the Naval profession,
so there is none that better deserves it on grounds of policy_
Every Officer who feels an anxiety for the welfare of his family,
is called on to enrol himself among Its members. By associat-
ing in a body like that formed under the designation of the
Royal Naval Annuitant Society, every Officer secures, without
risk of failure, an annual income to his representatives' and
causes the Widow and Orphan to raise their drooping heads in
prospect of security from future want.
Considering the brief period that has gone by since the
establishment of the Institution, the Committee with pride and
gratitude confess that the increase of its funds had outstripped
their most sanguine expectations; and from the constant coin-
mueications received from till parts of the world, the Itoyal
Naval Annuitant Society bids fair to rank among.the first be-
nevolent Institutions in the kingdom ; nor do your Committee
doubt that it will progressively increase in importance, and
like the Wooden Bulwarks of our native Isle extend protec-
tion and relief in the hour of need ; and that whilst England
possesses a Navy, it will be handed down to posterity as a last-
ing memorial of that brotherly love which is the charatcristic
of British Seamen throughout the world."
Letters post-paid, relative to this society, to be addressed to
Capt. James Garland, No. 3, Percy-place, Bath, of whom the
Rules of the Society may be had at the Society's price; and
