EXTRACT FROM REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF MA-
NAGEMENT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS, DATED THE
29111 DECEMBER, 1845.

" By the scheme promoted by the Direct Yorthera Railway Com-
pany it is proposed to bring York (to the n-,rth of which city there
is a population exceeding five millions) within the dicta• ce (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 termini ; 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
2l 1/2 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 hre 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 Hun ; whilst it lessens by twenty-
eight miles Ur 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-
ccedei 1 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 railway, 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
amd 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, regnlarity, and
speed into ra lway 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 session.
" The Committee entirely concur with Mr. Miller in the important
hearing which the Ilolborn 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. Ity its means the London
Terminus of tke 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 tho
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-
tary, 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-
fect ability to fulfil all that remains to be completed within the time
limited by the Legislature.
" Thus prepared, an.! with deposits paid, and the proper deeds
signed by a body of most responsible Shareholders, the Com-
mittee intend to make their application to Parliament at the earliest
possible day, confident that a project of such undoubted public utility
as the Direct Northern, in which the public service itself Is deeply
interested, will there receive what it only needs to ensure Its success
—a fair and impartial hearing."
_ _

The following tables, appended to the Report of the Company's
Engineer (John Miller, Esq.), will show the relative advantages of
the Direct Northern in point of distances, as compared with its com-
petitors for legislative sanction, and with existing lines.
It may here be observed, that the distance between the cross of
St. Paul's Cathedral, in London, and the centre of the Great Tower
of York Minster, as measured along the earth's surface, is, according
to the Ordnance Survey, 920,108.7 feet, or very nearly 174 M miles;
an i that the main line of the Direct Northern, between London and
York, is 176 miles.

The issuing of the Letters of Allotment of Shares in this Company,
the Directors desire to explain that they have delayed doing so
until the standing orders of both Houses of rarliament had been
complied with, and certain arrangements entered into with the South
Eastern Railway Company had been brought to a conclusion.

The Directors have now the greatest satisfaction in stating that
arrangements with the South Eastern Company have been concluded,
and they are fully justified in asserting that the Company will be
placed in such a position as to insure the proprietary against loss ;
for in the event of an Act not being obtained, they undertake to
return the whole of t'he deposit money without any deduction what-
ever. And in case of the Bill passing, shares in the South Eastern
Company will be allotted to the proprietors in lieu of stock in this
Company.
The Directors, in making this announcement, feel that the Com-
pany, as now settled, are on such a basis as to secure most im-
portant and unusual advantages to its proprietors, and to warrant
the Directors in proceeding to Parliament with the undertaking with
every expectation of success.

linen bands in place of the unsightly and troublesome tape-strings,

other. "The Double Bands" need no additional cravat; In one ar-
ticle is combined both collar and cravat. In both kinds " The

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, vrith.thWlitionsl eeeuri'y of a subscribed capital. With
this view, font- MA.4r the profit!, obi lig from Policies affected by
parties on the terms of particlp; *a will be divided every three
years, after the first five years, among those who assure for 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.
Parties may also effect the assurance by payment of one-half only
•f the premiums for a stipulated term of years—the interest upon
the unpaid portion of the premiums, at the rate •f 6 per cent. per
annum, being annually paid in advance. Upon payment of the
arrear of the premiums, the Assured will be entitled t• a fall parti-
cipation of the profits.
For persons 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.
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 advantage, to the
assured 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 through life, will gladly avail themselves of this
mode of investment ;—by which they will secure 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 100/. each, they or their respec-
tive nominees, being of an age to enter the class in which the an-
nuity granted is 61. 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, sash 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.
Wealthy relatives for their poorer relations.
Applications for Shares, in the following form, to be directed to

Company; and I hereby agree to accept the same, or any less num-
ber you may allot me, and to pay the deposit of Two Shillings per

POST-OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY
for 1846.
The earliest copy of the work has been but a few days issued, and
the following reviews have already
litan journals;— appeared in the leading metropo-

SUN, December 27, 1845.
This work has now reached the forty-seventh annual edition, and,
to the credit of Mr. Kelly, the proprietor, who has spared no expense
or labour in the compilation, keeps progress with the times, and
marks, more than any similar publication, the great changes which
have taken place, not only in our trade and commerce, but in the
appearance and extent of this vast metropolis. No other nation
could furnish materials for such a work, and to these Is the compiler
partly indebted fore such a mass of useful information, useful, not to
a few classes only, but to the whole community. There is not one
class in the community to which some of the directions are not ab-
solutely necessary. It extends to 2,074 pages, printed in a close, but
clear and bold type, and is accompanied by a beautiful, minute, and
as far as we have had an opportunity of judging, a correct map of
all the streets of London, with the names of each distinctly marked.
The work does great credit to Mr. Kelly, and we have no doubt that
the excellent manner in which it is prepared, and the information
which it conveys, will insure for it universal approbation and com-
plete success.

THE PROJECTED RAILWAYS.
(From the Times.)
With reference to the list of " Defunct Schemes," pub-
lished in our paper of yesterday, we have received numerous
letters, apprising us of amalgamations and other reasons for
change of names, &c., to which we cannot say more in reply,
than that our three lists, of the 17th of November, 1845, and
7th and 14th inst., must be taken together—the first, as
showing the schemes registered ; the second, showing the
plans deposited; and the third, those deficient.; and which
we believe will be found substantially correct. In a list ex-
tending to some thirteen hundred names—" Central,"
"Direct," "Great," " Grand JunctiOn;". "Union," &e., it
would have been utterly impossible to be correct to the letter.
We subjoin the following as desired to be corrected :
The Direct Birmingham and ;Leicester, and the Direct
Birmingham, Leicester, and Bolton—both registered, but did
not deposit plans.
The Lincoln, Wainfleet Haven, and Boston Company have

don, Isle of Ely, &c., the Wisbeach and Huntingdon, say

positedylans.

the Newry, Warrenpoint, and Rocs Trevor.

inst., that—

head, for which plans are lodged.

PRINCE ALBERT and the PARISH

OF WINDSOR.

Wisinson, nunAr.—A very numerously-attended vestry
was held yesterday afternoon, in the vestry-room, and ad-
journed thence to the Town-hall, in pursuance of thefollow-
ing notice, signed by the three churchwardens (Messrs.
Adams, Clode, and Ingalton), and the four overseers of the
parish Noke, Rose, Cleave, and Chisholm):—
"PARISH OF NEW WINDSOR, WITH DEDWORTIL —Notice
is hereby given, that a vestry will be held in the vestry-
room, on Thursday next, the 22d of January inst., at three
o'clock in the afternoon, for the purpose of receiving the
gracious reply of his Royal Highness Prince Albert to the
memorial presented to his Royal Highness by the church-
wardens and overseers of this parish, on the 14th inst., and
returning to his Royal Highness the grateful thanks f the
parishioners for his liberality and kindness, and for the ex-
pression of the feeling of the parish towards his Royal High-
ness."

The Rev. ISAAC GOSSET, the vicar, upon the motion of
Mr. CLODE, jun., seconded by Mr. COBDEN, was voted into
the chair.

The Rev. CHAIRMAN briefly opened the proceedings by
observing, that he hoped those present would confine their
observations
_to the object for which the vestry had been
convened.

Mr. DARN-ILL entered into a statement of the proceedings
which had taken place between the parish officers and Mr.
Anson, Prince Albert's private secretary, regarding the rating
of Flemish Farm, the particulars of which have already ap-
peared, and added that he had written to Mr. Anson, acknow-
ledging the receipt of his letter, and expressing the thanks
of the parish officers for the kindness and liberality mani-
fested by the Prince Consort.
Mr. BLUNT expressed his grateful thanks to the Prince
Consort for the liberality he had evinced towards the
parish. He regretted very much he had not been present'
at the previous vestry meetings, because he then should have
had an opportunity of setting some of those persons right
who had spoken upon those occasions. He begged to move
the following resolution :
"That an address be presented to his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, expressing the most sincere thanks of this
meeting for his kind consideration of the memorial presented,
and for his graciously consenting to contribute towards the
parochial funds, although not liable thereto."
Mr. ROBERTS briefly seconded the resolution.
After a few observations from Mr. HormNs,
Mr. JUDGE entered into a lengthened statement, touching
the chief features of the case.
_ _

Mr. BEDBOROUGH said lie would be the last person to ob-
ject to the thanks of the vestry being given to his Royal
highness, in conformity with the resolution proposed by Sir.
Blunt ; but lie certainly had an objection to the latter
1 part of the resolution, in which the Prince is thanked for
contributing towards the parochial funds. He had pre-
pared a resolution, embodying his views, which might be
' incorporated with the resolution or not, moved by Mr. Blunt,
and which he would read :—" That this vestry, relying on
the assurance:of the churchwardens and overseers,
a nc
;that
I his Royal Highness Prince Albert has been improperly .1
illegally rated for the Flemish Farm, deeply regret that an 3
supplication should have been made to his Royal Highness,
craving as a boon that which they (the parish officers) fully
acknowledge they have no claim to as a right. That whilst
freely acknowledging the dignitled condescension of his Royal
Highness, in allowing any communication to take place with
the parish officers, after the comments which had been pub-
licly made upon the question relative to the Flemish Farm,
and the razing of houses connected with the improvements
of the Castle ; and deeply impressed with feelings of pro-
found respect for his Royal Highness for his ready acquies-
cence in the prayer of the parish authorities, yet this vestry
is of opinion that the credit and character of the town and
its inhabitants will be seriously compromised by sanctioning
the late supplication by the receipt of his Royal Highness's
gracious donation, and that this vestry do adjourn -for the
purpose of maturing the best means of extricating the parish
from its present position."
After some further discussion, the amendment was then put
to the meeting and lost by a show of hands, and the original
resolution carried.
Mr. BLUNT then moved, that an humble address (which
lie read) be presented to his Royal Highness, expressing the
thanks of the parishioners for the Prince's kind consieleratiou
in contributing towards the poor's-rates of the parish for
Flemish Farm.
The ackress was seconded by Mr. SNOWDEN, grocer to her
Majesty, and carried.
The address, upon the motion of Mr. DAEVILL, was or-
dered to be engrossed and to be taken round the town by the
parish officers for signatures previous to its being presented to
Prince Albert.

The Rev. CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging a vote of thanks
for his conduct in the chair, congratulated the meeting upon
the result of the proceedings and upon the good feeling which
prevailed. He sincerely hoped it would tend to unite still
closer the town of Windsor with her Majesty and her Royal
Consort.

Mr. NEIGHBOUR, before the meeting broke up, begged to
suggest, as a benevolent mode of disposing of the money
received, and to be received in future from Prince Albert,
that it might be appropriated in the payment of the poor-
rates of all persons in the parish, who were rated under 10/
a year.

The Rev. CHAIRMAN informed Mr. Neighbour that the
suggestion he had kindly made could not be legally carried
into effect.

The vestry then adjourned.

describing the priory at Lewes, says that the pigeon-house
which stood to the south-west of the existing ruins, and was
taken down about forty years since, wax, in the form of a
