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.
fection, upon those main sources of Great
.Britain's wealth aid
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
Means of Rail-roads has already, in a multitude of instances,
inaleti;one the test of experiment, and its superior utility, un-
der many circumstances of inevitable occurrence, is sufficiently
established. Both the principle and practice, however, by the
progress of science, have been receiving, and still .admit of,
improv (anent.
In proposing, therefore, to open and facilitate, upon this
principle, a more commodious intercourse betwixt the Metro-
polis and important Towns, and districts to the Northwards, to
the distance of Manchester and Hull, " The London Northern
Rail-Road Company" do not proceed upon specalativeind un-
certain grounds. To facilitate and increase that intercourse,
and also that with the intermediate important towns of Bir-
mingham, Macclesfield, Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, and
Northampton, & that of the great manufacturing district between
Manchester and Hull, thus affording the opp9tunity fur use-
ful extension by branches from the main line, will be admitted
to be an object well deserving public support, and consistent
with the policy entertained by the most enlightened Members
of our Government and Legislature, in affording the greatest
possible encouragement to Commercial Enterprise, and to the
free circulation of Capital.
The Promoters of the London Northern Rail-road, although
net 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
the following Uentienten

succeed that now approaching.

become Subscribers, and the Board will readily attend to any
communications from the country which niay be directed to the
most advantageous execution of the plan.
