NITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
• COMPANY,
No. 8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London.
The attention of Holders of Policies in the Equitable Assurance
Company of London, is particularly called to the ilalf-credit Scales
of Premium of this Company, by which table the bonus to be de-
clared at the next investigation of the Equitable Assurance Com-
pany's affairs, in January, 1850, may be secured at a present annual
payment of one-half the rates generally charged by other compa-
nies. In the event of death the sum insured will be paid, after deduc-
tion of the other half of the rates. Should the life insured survive the
declaration of the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the
Company will renounce all claim for the half premiums which may
be due thereon ; or in the event of the party being at that time in
bad health, the policy can be kept up at the full premium of the age
as when first accepted. The above plan, originating with this Com-
pany, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last division of profits
in the Equitable Assurance Company, in 1840, when it was largely
adopted, and many of the policies then effected are still in force,
and large bonuses have been added to them on the scale of the fol-
lowing table :

LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1846.

It was about this time last year that Lord JOHN
RUSSELL'S memorable letter was addressed to his con-
stituents, the electors of the city of London. A
remarkable document, it appeared at a remarkable
time. The public mind was greatly agitated—alter-
nately elated and depressed by every idle rumour, a
prey to unceasing anxiety and suspense. An unpre-
cedented failure of provisions induced terrible anti-
cipations for the approaching winter. The shadow
of coming events fell heavily on the hearts
of many, and though a few were sanguine,
and anticipated good out of the evil, all felt
that an eventful moment had arrived—one
of those periods which occur to nations as to indivi-
duals, when, according as the opportunity is seized,
the tide of their affairs may carry them to fortune or
destructi )n.

Last year—last November, the great body of
the people were fully persuaded that for them
such a moment had arrived ; and as a high-
spirited charger, perceiving a precipice on his path,
remains obedient to the rein, and follows the
guidance of his master, while he trembles with
apprehension lest that master, less prescient of the
danger, involve them both in certain ruin, so
did the obedient multitude, fully alive to the exigency
of the moment, watch in eager and anxious antici-
pation lest their rulers should be unable or unwilling
to avoid the danger that menaced them. The con-
tinual Cabinet Councils inspired but little confidence ;
they only showed that, if something were con-
templated, nothing was resolved. It was at this
propitious moment that Lord Joux Itusszu's letter,

A word to our fellow-countrymen. Beforc the
last Parliamentary session our commerce, our manu-
facture:7, and our agriculture, were under the ban of
class legislation. That ban has been removed in defiance
of the most enormous obstacles. With the arrival of

1849 the population of England will be invested with
new liberties, will be endowed with prerogatives
hitherto unknown, will receive a physical, social, and
political advancement. That year will be one of the
grandest epochs in the emancipation of millions : it
will he held in perpetual and grateful remembrance.
The provisions of a whole people will not then be
depeident upon the casualties of a single climate; th
prices of food will no longer fluctuate with the vicis-
situdes of the atmosphere or the deficiencies of vege-
tation. British agriculture will be relieved from the
incubus of protection, and its capacities will be

By Mr. Ilasusarox —There were not more than two coaches
passing to and fro between Cheltenham and alarlherough, but they
were always loaded. The district was a rich agricultural one.
By the CHAIRMAN—Th.- expense of constructing efficient roads in
an agricultural district, not desirous of paying a large rate, no doubt
reduced the number of coaches, and pre,. toted people from moving'

A good deal of additional evidence was given in favour of the pre-
posed site for a central station in New-stieet. It was stated by the
witnesses 'that the arrangements contemplated would be a great ad-
vantage to the town, and that an expense of 5'MOl. a year would be
saved to the post-office, by the increased proximity of the railway
terminus.
In cross-eXamination it was endeavoured-to elicit that the station
proposed to be erected by the Dudley, Wolverhampton, and Birming-
haM Railway Company, lietweeti 8114 - hill and Livery-street, would
be more central, more co mations, anti at the same time free from that objection on which the petitions against the Bill was founded,
namely, the interference with the burial ground.
Mr. Robert Stephenson. engineer to the London and Birmingham
Railway, was examined to .how th tt he could not find a better
or less objectionable rite in Binningham. It would be a great im-
provement to the town, removing streets of a
low and vicious cha-

GAUGE OF RAILWAYS.

Sir George Clerk has given notice of motion, that on
Tuesday, the 16th of June, he will move the adoption of the
recommendations contained in the minute of the Board of
Trade of the 6th day of June, 1846, on report of Commis-
sioners for inquiring into the Gauge of Railways :-
1. That no line shall hereafter be formed on any other
than the four feet eight and a half inch gauge, excepting
lines to the south of the existing line from London to Bristol,
and excepting small branches of a few miles in length, in
immediate connexion with the Great Western Railway ; but
that no such line as above excepted shall be sanctioned by
Parliament, unless a special report shall have been made by
the Committee on the Bill, setting forth the reasons which
have lad the Committee to advise that such line should be
formed on any other than the four feet eight and a half inch
gauge..

2.—That, unless by the consent of the Legislature, it shall
not be permitted to the directors of any railway company to
alter the gauge of such railway.
3. That, in order to complete the general chain of narrow
gauge communication from the north of England to the
southern coasts, and to the port of Bristol, any suitable
measures should be promoted to form a narrow gauge link
from Gloucester to Bristol, and also from Oxford to Ba•ing-
stoke, or by any shorter route connecting the proposed Rugby
and Oxford line with the South. Western Railway.
4. That the South Wales line, and its branches to Mon-
mouth and Hereford, should be permitted to be'formed on
the broad gauge, as sanctioned by their Act.
5. That the Rugby and Oxford line, and the Oxford, Wor-
cester, and Wolverhampton line, should be permitted to be
formed on the broad gauge, as sanctioned by their Acts :
that the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade
shall exercise the powers conferred upon them by the several
Acts, and shall require that additional narrow gauge rails
shall forthwith be laid down front Rugby to Oxford, and
from Wolverhampton to the junction with the Birmingham
and Gloucester line; and that it it should hereafter appear
that there is a traffic requiring accommodation on the narrow
gauge from the Staffordshire districts to the southern coast,
any suitable measure shall be promoted by Parliament to
form a narrow gauge link from Oxford to the line of the
Birmingham and Gloucester Railway.

QTEAM.-A CARD FOR THE LADIES.
The Directors of the Iron Steam-boat Company, feeling they
have arrived at perfection in the conveyance of the mercantile
world, have for some time drawn their attention to the more fair
and pleasure-seeking travellers upon the River Thames, and are de-
lighted to state that, not only can the Ladies enjoy the pleagure of
Kew Gardens, but can do so without inconvenience in their transit,
there being no annoyance of a chain to crush their bonnets in pass-
ing under the Bridges, and that cruel'steam-pipe is entirely removed.

AND DUNSTABLE BRANCH. ..• -*
The Committee to whielt this line is referred iit twelve
o'clock in Room No. 33.

Mr. AUSTIN, who appeared for , he Hertford and Hatfield Railway,
stated to the Committee that inasmuch as the promoters of the
London and York (St. Alban's. Lu. on, and Dunstable Branch), which
the Committee had passed yesterday, had admitted that the portion
of the line between Waltord and St. Alban's was of little consequence
to them, the Committee would perhaps re-consider the case of that
portion of the line, and as the matter was one of indifference to the
Company they might at least give the re,ident landowners a choice.

31r. WELLS, Oil the part of the promoters, objected to any such
prom di u. The traffic bet weeit these t obits, if taken by another
line, would clear away all the traffic ft om the main line.

T e (70,mittee re-assembled at twelve this morning, when Mr.
Tate alt ntlWr '‘vitn,,ses were examined in support of the Bill.
Thek evidence merely went to prove ihe amount of traffic which
might be expected along' the proposed line, and also the necessity
that existed 41 the district for railway accommodation.

Tiii.CoTineillsuperintendent at Gloucester, and other witnesses,
wet e examined at considerable length with fespeet to the engineer,
lug capabilities of the line, the expense of construction, and other
matters c,fnnevted with the acconitmxiation proposed to be afforded
to passengers and traffic alone the Hue. The witnesses also entered
into detailed accounis, by which it would se, in the inconvenience of
the break of gauge at Gloucester, where the broad and narrow lines
meet, was very considerable, but it would be superseded if the pro-
p,,s,,tl line was made.

the capital for which is 250,0001. The main line runs from the former
to the latter place, going through the town of Darwin, joining
the Bolton and Manchester line, it being Intended also to
make a branch to time North IA; itish Railway at Clitheroe.
There was also to be another branch to Turton,
when it would be connected with the Liverpool and Bury Rail•.cay.
The length of the branch would be 6 miles 55 chains, the cost 150,0001.
This branch would go thr ugh a district altogether without accom-
modation, and which is a thickly peopled manufacturing district,
there being, not less than 57 mills, and more than 20,000 inhabitants.
Taking coals alone, there were as many as 57,000 tons used
in each year for domestic and trading purposes, and the
saving would be fully 10,0001. a year at the present rate
of consumption, beside the prevention of inconvenience. The
dye woods, oils, and chemical, substances would also come by a much
quicker as well as cheaper transit. That this was no mean consi-
deration was evident from the factof the quantityof this sort of goods
now introduced into the neighbourhood of Bury. At one end there
was communication ; there were lines with all the radiating lines
leading to every part of the country, so that the communication was
always safe. Casty, he might say two or three or words respecting
the opposition offered to it, the only plea being a matter of gradient,
and such being the case he conceived that the opponents did not de-
serve the slightest consideration.

Mr. VignOles was then called to show the engineering character of
the line, and the Committee adjourned till Monday.

GROUP XLVI.
This Committee re-assembled to-day at twelve o'clock; present
Mr. Bramston (chairman), and the other members.

NEWCASTLE - UPON-TYNE, EDINBURGH,

AND DIRECT GDEISC•OW JUNCTION.

The evidence in support of this Bill, which is a competitor of the
Newcastle and Carlisle Ex tension and Branches, with the consideration
of which the Committee have been occupied during the last two days,
was heard to-day. It was substantially the same as that on the part
of the first Bill.
The Committee adjourned at four o'clock.
London, England, 1846-06-13

NORTHAMPTON AND WEED ON.

To this Bill there was but one opponent, a petitioning landowner,
who did not appear.
The usual preliminary eviden:e having been put in, the promoters
called

Mr. Robert Stephenson, the engineer, who stated that the line had
no engineering difficulties. The expenses of purchase, &c., would.
be small, as the land was poor, and there was no town within the
distance. The length would be about six miles and a half, and the
estimated cost about 160,0001.

The preamble was declared to be proved, and the Committee ad.
jonrned till Monday.

GROUP XLI,

EAST LANCASHIRE DEVIATION LINE.
The Committee assembled to-day at one o'clock, when the business
was opened by

Mr. Sergeant WRANCHAM, who, after describing the line generally,
went through the series of appositions offered to the line. 'With
respect to the two branches of the line, it appeared by the traffie that
they would be as remunerative to the Company as they would prove
useful to the public.
Mr. Macaulay, the enginc er, said that the line would pass over
some of the highest ground in Lancashire, which it was proposed to
get over by two inclined planes, on which there would be 1 in
40 and 1 in 96, there being an intermediate gradient of 1 In 132.
Those gradients were deemed objectionable, and when the several com-
panies were amalgamated under the title of the East Lancashire Com-
panies, he was instructed to improve the gradients If possible, and had
therefore planned the deviations now before the Committee. The
most objectionable gradient of 1 in 33 he had reduced to I in 39,
which was to be worked by an assistant locomotive. The steepest
gradient in existence is one on the Gloucester Railway, which is 1
in 34. There is one in the Glasgow and Edinburgh Railway of 1 in
42. Without these inclined planes there would have to be a tunnel
six or seven miles long. The expense would be 74,0001.. and the
first deviation, which would run fur 4 miles 5 furlongs along the
valley of the Erewcll. That valley was one continued series of
manufacturing population, being studded with mills al 'the way, and
was connected with the tributary valley on which Newchurch Town
is placed. The sec 1).1 branch would be a mile and a half in length,
and would cost 43,0001., and would principally accommodate Craw-
shan•e ; and this line, with the first, would accommodate a
population of upwards of eleven thousand, all engaged in
manufactures. The third deviation would cost 23,0001., the
total cost of the whole being 210,000/. The Bill sought 300,0001.,
because originally the line was intended to be a single one, but now
it was intended to be a double line. The station also was to be en-
ezed in consequence of the contiucm'e of other ralltvays. The ad-
.iitional cost of the station wo,hl be 30,0001., and the connexion with
Manchester and Liverpool would be completely opened.
The Committee next took the
