The Committee of Management of this Company have eff
Ironbridge ected an
amalgamation with the Dudley, Madeley, BseleY,
Railway Company, on terms which are advantageous to the Share-
holders of both Companies. The liability of the Shareholders of this
Company will be reduced from 501. Shares to Shares of 251., and Two
Shares will be issued to the Shareholders of the Dudley and Madeley
Company for Three of their Shares. By this arrangement the Capital
and Parliamentary Deposit requisite for the entire scheme of this
Company, including a line from Dudley to Madeley next year, will
be secured.
The reduction of the nominal amount of the Shares renders it ne-
cessary for the Shareholders of this Company to exchange their Scrip,
and sign a new Parliamentary Contract.
They are, therefore, required, on or 'before SATURDAY, the 17th
inst., to lodge their scrip certificates at the Company's Office for that
purpose, and to fill up the following form.

EXTRACT FROM REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF MA-
NAGEMENT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS, DATED THE
29T11 DECEMBER, 1845.

" By the scheme promoted by the Direct Northern Railway Com-
pany it is proposed to bring York (to the north of which city there
is a population exceeding five millions) within the dista ice (as mea-
sured by time), of four hours and a half from London; to reduce by.
42 miles the distance now traversed by the existing means of railway
communication between those termiul ; to lessen the distance as
projected by the competing plan least favourable to the public) that
of the Eastern Counties Extension by Cambridge and Lincoln) by
21 4 miles, and as projected by the most favourable rival scheme
(that of the London and York) by ten miles ; and yet so to reconcile
this "result with local wants, as to place, without in any instance
sacrificing the principle of directness, every town of importance in
the districts to be served by this Company's main line nearer Lon-
don, either by means of the main line itself, or of well-devised lateral
lines, than they are by the •theme of the London and York, which,
for the sake of passing through certain towns, pursues a devious
route to York, thereby inflicting a serious injury on the country north
of the Humber.
" Thus the scheme of the Direct Northern Railway offers to the
North of England, and to all Scotland, advantages presented by no
other project whatever. These advantages it also immediately con-
veys to Bedford, St. Neots, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Stamford,
Grantham, Newark, Lincoln, East Retford, Sheffield, Gainsborough,
Doncaster, Pontefract, Selby, and Hull ; whilst it lessens by twenty-
eight miles the route to Leeds, the great manufacturing capital of
Yorkshire, itself rapidly becoming the centre of an important railway
system.
" With perfectly unexceptionable gradients, that in no case ex-
ceeded I in 200, with upwards of sixty-nine miles of level on its main
line, with no works of any engineering difficulty or of peculiarly ex-
pensive execution, with only 3,900 yards of tunnelling in eight tun-
nels, with no opening or swing bridges, with only one viaduct, and
that of 500 yards, and with remarkably easy curves, the Direct North-
ern it tilway, whilst its primary object is to unite in the directest
manner London and York, will at the same time serve a rich, fertile,
and populous country, will reciprocate the advantages of easy and
inexp. nsive communication between the manufacturing towns of the
north and the agricultural and grazing counties of eastern and central
England, and will connect by the shortest route the south of England
and the continent of Europe with York, the north of England, and
Scotland.
The shareholders will observe the suggestion made by Mr. Miller,
which proposes to introduce a new element of safety, regularity, and
speed into ralway travelling, by the conveyance of passengers and
goods upon separate lines. This suggestion will, no doubt, receive
the consideration due to its importance in the ensuing sess!on.
" The Committee entirely concur with Mr. Miller in the important
bearing which the Holborn Terminus project has on the Direct
Northern. It is in effect, though under different management, an ex-
tension of that line into the heart of London. By its means the London
Terminus of the Direct Northern Railway will be immediately avail-
able for the Post-office and the City of London generally (between
Furnival's inn and Gray's-inn-lane), and will itself form a portion
of one side of the widest thoroughfares in London, will be in the
immediate vicinity of the Courts of Law and Inns of Court, and
comes more into the heart of London, with less sacrifice of valuable
property, than any metropolitan terminus which has been suggested.
" In accordance, therefore, with Mr. Miller's recommendation,
and in pursuance of the powers entrusted to them by their proprie-
tai y, the Committee have taken steps to secure control over this
project. satisfied that it affords the most central, and, at the same
time, the most accessible and least expensive London terminus.
" The Committee refer the shareholders to the map accompanying
this Report; it fully shows the course and relations of the Direct
Northern Railway, and its national character.
" Up to the 30th of November, all the standing orders of Parlia-
ment have been complied with ; and the solicitors report their per-
feet ability to fulfil all that remains to be completed within the time

The Committee of Management, without condescending to notice
any of the anonymous and false statements which have from time to
time appeared in several of the public prints, have the satisfaction to
assure the Shareholders that the Plans, Sections, and Books of
Reference have been most minutely examined by the Engineer, in
conjunction with the Parliamentary Agent, Mr. Coates, of the firm
of Dyson, Hall, Parkes, and Coates, who se ably checked the Plans
and Sections last session of the London and York Railway, and that
the whole are found to be most accurately prepared, and that every
measure has been adopted which the Committee feel confident will
insure the passing of the Bill through standing orders.

many persons having been disappointed in seeing him in London (as
his Levees were suspended on account of a slight cold), he will visit
London in March or April next, for a short time only, previous to
sailing for America. To save the public from Imposition, they are
informed that various persons at the penny shows in Holborn and the
Fairs, and one also at the Egyptian Hall, have assumed the name of
" TOM THUMB," but that the smallest among them is at least four
times the General's weight and size.

It is unnecessary in this Prospectus, to enlarge upon the advan-
tages of Life Assurance, or its adaptation to most of the exigencies
and relations in life. These benefits have been so extensively pub-
lished, that they are already well understood and appreciated.
This Company is formed for granting every description of Life
Assurance, Annuity, and Endowment ; Loans either for long or
short periods to persons effecting Assurances, upon receiving satis-
factory security for the payment of premium and interest, and the
repayment of the principal, by instalments or otherwise, as may be
agreed ; also for the purchase of Reversionary Interests, Policies' of
Assurance, and every other description of property.
Persons borrowing money of the Company, upon approved se-
curity, and effecting a policy of Assurance for the amount bor-
rowed, will not be called upon for the repayment of the loan, so
long as the interest and premium are regularly paid. Thus a party
borrowing 1,000/. upon security of his estate, and an assignment of
a policy on his life, would at his decease leave his estate unencum-
bered, the sum assured being applied by the Company to repay its
advance.
The premiums are based upon data derived from the most recent
and authentic sources, presenting a moderate and equitably-adjusted
scale.
One of the principal objects of the Company is to assimilate its
benefits as nearly as possible to those of Mutual Assurance
Societies, with the additional security of a subscribed capital. With
this v'ew, four-fifths of the profits, arising from Policies affected by
parties on the terms of participation, will be divided every three
years, after the first five years, among those who assure far the
whole term of life. The sum so divided among the Assured to be
applied to the reduction of the annual premium, or added to the
sum assured as bonus, or paid in present value, at the option of the
Assured.
For persona who may wish to assure for short periods, or for the
whole of life, without participation in the profits, a scale has been
adopted, which is as moderate as it can be rendered consistently with
the interests of the Company.
Parties may also effect the assurance by payment of one-half only
of the premiums for a stipulated term of years—the interest upon
the unpaid portion of the premiums, at the rate of 5 per cent. per
annum, being annually paid in advance. Upon payment of the
arrear of the premiums, the Assured will be entitled to a full parti-
cipation of the profits.
The Assured may at all times borrow an amount equal to the value
of the policy, on its security.
In all the transactions of the Company the utmost liberality will
be exercised.
Life Assurances will be effected with all the advantages to the
assared afforded by the most respectable established companies.
A Table of Premiums will shortly be published.
TONTINE ANNUITIES.
This Company, in submitting the subject of Tontine Annuities to
the public, is influenced by the belief that there are many persons,
who from the hope of longevity, and the desire of ease and affluence
as they progress 1 v
through life, will glad y a ail themselves of this
will secure
mode of investment ;—by which they a large remunera-
tive and increasing income, guaranteed to them by the Company
during their own lives or the lives of their nominee.
The following is an illustration of the principle of the Tontine An-
nuities :—lf 1,000 persons subscribe 1001. each, they or their respec-
tive nominees, being of an age to enter the class in which the an-
nuity granted is 6/. per cent. per annum, each subscriber or nominee
will, during the continuance of all the lives, receive an annuity of 6/. ;
but as the lives drop, the share of the deceased parties will be
divided among the survivors, until they are reduced to six, each of
whom will then receive 1,0001. per annum for life; but as they re-
spectively
die off, the 1,0001. per year which the deceased party re-
ceived will fall into the funds of the Company, for the benefit of the
shareholders ; and so in proportion for a larger or smaller number of
subscribers or their nominees.
This mode of investment will place it in the power of almost every
individual, at some period of life, by prudently and legitimately ap-
propriating a comparatively small sum of money, which in many in-
stances would be otherwise uselessly expended, to secure indepen-
dence and comfort in their declining years.
Parents may also by these means provide for their children.

661 R ON TIMES" NEWS PAPER
COMPANY.
(Provisionally Registered.)
, Capital 63,0001., in Shares of 11. Is. each.
(Vices of the Company, No. 41, Moorgate-street.
For some years before the late mischievous movement against
railway interests on the part of the " Times " newspaper, it had
been evident to all persons engaged in business, that in giving their
advertisements to that journal they were themselves encouraging
and fostering a newspaper which, while it derived the principal part
of its support from the industry and energy of the mercantile and
commercial classes of the community, was acting in every way
against their interest!.
But however unwilling those classes might be to lend their aid to
such a jourfial by sending to it their advertisements, it was compul-
sory upon them to do so, from the fact of the large circulation of the
" Times " rendering it the only existing medium for obtaining the de-
sirable publicity. A remedy or an alternative was sought in vain ;
the existence of a journal, with a circulation to answer the purposes
of a sufficient publicity for advertisements, remained a desideratum.
This want appears to be now supplied by the " Iron Times," and
the projectors of the "Iron Times" Newspaper Company have per-
ceived—in the manner in which that journal has recently assumed
the character of a General Morning Newspaper, and the skill and
talent which have been displayed in supporting that character—a
power of expansion and development which, if duly supported by an
amount of capital immediately available, must inevitably render the
" Iron Times " the leading journal of the age.
Founded on the basis of the " Iron Times" as a Railway News-
paper, the -" Iron Times," as a General Newspaper, has a point
d'appui to start from, such as it has never hitherto been the good
fortune of any journal to attain.
To the success of a newspaper there are two points necessary—
circulation find advertisements. These combined—or even one of
them singly4:have never, in any instance, been arrived at without a
great outlay knd risk of capital ; both at these, however, the " Iron
Times " has at starting. It has but to add to them.

Actuated by this impression, and desirous to insure the pernia-
nence-dawho7*t auk-independent Daily Morning Newspaper, the,
property of no clique, either political or literary, a Company has
been constituted for the purpose of purchasing the " Iron Times,"
and inf Using. into it that amount of immediately-available capital,
which alone appears necessary to insure its increased usefulness as
a public journal, and an increased ratio of profits to all parties con-
cerned.
As a commercial speculation the success of the " Iron Times" is a
matter of public notoriety, and the Committee of Management of
the Company, from the examination of the books, accounts, &c.,
have no hesitation in announcing the probability of a return of at
least twenty-five per cent., or ss. per share, on the capital Invested.
To carry into effect the objects of the promoters of the Company,
it is intended.to creates capital of 63,0001., divided into 60,000 shares
of 11. ls. each—the whole to be paid up. None of these shares will
be allotted to the public until complete registration, which will be per-
fected in the course of a lew days.
By arrangements with the present proprietor of the journal, a
limited number, not exceeding 4,000 shares, will be issued in the first
instance, at 'par ; after which there will be a further issue of a
similar number at 11. prem. per share; the remainder at such
periods and NI such prices as tho Committee of Management shall de-
termine, and the augmented value and importance of the property
of the Company shall demand.
The arrangements for the protection of the interests of the share-
holders—for a pre-emption in favour of original subscribers, for sub-
sequent issue of shares, for the limitation of their liability, and
for the regulation and management of the undertaking—have been
matured; awl the deed of settlement to carry these arrangements
into legal effect, is now under the consideration of counsel.
Application for shares, and all communications respecting the un-
dertaking, are to be addressed to 11. Edwards, the Secretary, at the
office of the Company, 41, Moorgate-street, London.
To the Comitittee of Management of the " Iron Times" News-
paper Company.
GentlemeA,--I request you will allot me Shares, or
such less number as you shall determine, in the Capital Stock of
the " Iron Times" Newspaper Company; and I hereby engage to pay
the sum of One Pound One Shilling upon each Share that shall be
appropriated to me, and to execute the Deed of Settlement of the
Company when required, it being distinctly understood that ray
liability is limited to £1 is. per Share, and that under no circum-
stances I shill be called upon for any Itirther or other sum.
I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant.

AMEETING, most respectably attended, of
landowners and occupiers of land, was held at the Bear Inn,
Wantage, this 12th day of January, for the purpose of taking into
consideration the propriety of opposing the Oxford and Salisbury
Direct Railway Company for an Act of Parliament to form their line.

PHILIP Snirrn COXE, Esq., in the chair.
The following resolutions were proposed, seconded, and carried
unanimously
That, in the opinion of this meeting, the suggested line of railway
from Oxford to Salisbury Direct is quite uncalled for, inasmuch as
there is neither passengers or goods traffic along the proposed line
requiring sud)f accommodation, and consequently, that whilst a great
sacrifice of private property must take place, no adequate, if any,
benefit can ,tossibly arise to the public by the formation of such
a line. ,

That as the line throughout presents one unbroken agricultural
district, possessing within easy distances markets and fairs amply
sufficient to absorb all the produce thereof, the scheme in question
appears to this meeting a mere wanton speculation of the day,
possessing neither merit in itself, or a reasonable prospect of a re-
turn for capital required for the undertaking.
That, with these impressions, the members of this meeting do use
their best endeavours, individually and collectively, to defeat the
proposed measure in Parliament, and that for such purpose a sub-
scription be entered into, and placed in the Bank of Messrs. Barnes
and Medley, Wantage Bank, to the credit of

PHILIP SMITH COXE,
WILLIAM STONE,
CHARLES ROBET,
as trustees of a fund for carrying on and defraying the necessary ex-
penses attendffig a petition against the Bill, and the support thereof
in Parliament.

That Messrs. Bischoff and Coxe be requested to undertake the
condUct of such proceedings, and the following gentlemen do form a
Committee for the general direction and conduct of the business
generally, viii :

P. S. Cols, Esq., Chairman.
Mr. CHARLES ROBEY,
Mr. WILLIAM STONE,
Mr. RICHARD BARNARD,
Mr. THOMAS DEARLOYX,

That all Cheques be signed by the Secretary and two of the
Committee of Management, and countersigned by the Chairman.
That all other landowners and occupiers on the line, who may
dissent from the proposed measure, be communicated with, and
requested to join and co-operate in the proposed opposition, and to
forward thei subscriptions accordingly as soon as possible.

That Mr. H. An;ell be appointed Secretary.
That this meeting feels called upon to notice. in strong terms,
the use made,,of the names of several respectable individuals, who
were placed fin the list of the Provisional Committee, without pre-
vious consent being obtained, or their knowledge of the matter.

That thqsekresorntions be printed in some of-the leading journals
and local papers, for the information of all concerned.

That the thanks of this meeting be presented to P. S. Come, Esq.,
for his kind interest in this undertaking, and for his impartial con-
duct in the chair.

A NOI3I.E.:'CELEBRATION OF CIIRISTMAS.—At mid-
night, on .Christmas-eve, in Berlin, all the licensed
houses o6ill--fame were closed for ever, by order of the
authorities.,, Whatever debts had been incurred by the
unfortunate women towards the proprietors of these es-
tablishments, were discharged, and they were afterwards
dispatched to their relations in the country. Surely such
stringent hilt admirable measures are not undeserving of
imitation !
EXCISE CASE.—A case of considerable importance
came on for hearing before the county magistrates at
Rochester, at the instance of the supervisor of Excise
for the Rochester division. The information was laid
under the 56th Geo. 111., chap. 58, sec. 2, which subjects
the party on conviction to a penalty of 2001. Robert
Batten, supervisor of Excise, stated that, on the 27th of
George Varley, an officer of
November, 'accompanied by
Excise, ho visited the housed John White, the defendant,
a ret filer of beer on the Brook at Chatham. They found
on the stairs a can, containing about six quarts of a mix-
ture
composed of sugar and salt, which they seized, being
a forbidden article, but sometimes used for adulteration, as
a substitute for malt and hops. The defendant, in reply
to the charge, stated that he was pensioned off and in-
valided home from her Majesty's ship Castor, then in
China, about 18 months ago, in consequence of a com-
plaint under which he then and has ever since laboured,
and that the. mixture ii: question was only a part of a
preparation from a prescription given him in China, and
which he had been in the habit of taking daily for his
complaint. A witness who resided in his house deposed
to the truth of the statement. 'The defendant also pro-
duced a certificate from a medical man in the neighbour-
hood, to the effect that he was in the habit of using this
composition ibr the relief of his complaint. The do
fondant was convicted in the mitigated penalty of 501.
LORD Mostrru.—We have the pleasure to state
that this Noble Lord has given his honoured name to a
document prepared by the Peace Society, recommending
addresses froth merchants and other classes in this coun-
try to similar- classes-in the United States, in favour of
perpetual amity, and the reference of all points of mis-
understanding to the arbitration of disinterested parties.
