DELCROIX'S ODONTO.

" We do not hesitate to recommend, from experience, DEL-
CROIX'S ODONTO, or the Queen's own Dentifrice, as the most
valuable means of puifying, preserving, and embellishing the
Teeth and Gums, hitherto offered to the Public."--Court Gazette.
*.* The Bouquet Duke of York is the last new fashionable
perfume of the season 1844; but though the last, is not the least
in perfection, as it happily combines the preceding excellence of all
the royal bouquets, with the delicate and delicious fragraace of the
white moss rose.

Let hint who Is a true born gentleman,
And stands upon the honour of his birth,
If he suppose that I have pleaded truth—
From off this briar pluck a white rose with me.

Messrs. J. Delcroix and Co., 158, New Bond-street, hare pleasure
In offering this their last bouquet of the season, and beg to inform
the Nol4ility and their Patrons that, during the recess, all orders
for their " unique cadeau" of a case containing the six royal bou-
quets for one guinea,somprising the houquets de la Reine, d'Albert,
Prince of 'Wales, Duke of York, rrincease Royale, and Princesse
Alice, will be forwarded to any part of the country, carriage paid.
To insure the genuine, particular attention is required in observing
that No. 158, New Bond-street, London, ire upon each case and
every bottle, as worthless counterfeits, for the sake of profit, are
sold by Druggists and Hairdressers in town and country.

Whether this difference of five and a half miles can be realised
by Sir John Rennie's line Is yet to be proved, and, if realised, whe-
ther such a difference would be compensated for by the London
and York line having its course through the towns of Hitchin,
Huntingdon, Peterborough, Grantham, Newark, Tuxford, Retford,
Bawtry, and Doncaster, not one of which is approached by Sir John
Rennie's line, the public will be able to determine.
To the second and third allegations the Committee of Direction
of the London and York Company reply, that while Sir John Ren.
nie and Co. state that their surveys were commenced in October,
1843, and their prospectus published in April last, the project for
a new railway between London and York was formed by Mr. Gibbs
in 1836, and in that year carried into Parliament. That in 1840 Mr.
Gibbs again brought his scheme before the Parliamentary Commis-
sioners, and it is detailed by them in their report of 1841. That
such scheme was never abandoned by him, but in February of the
present year the details of the London and York Railway, as now,
with modifications adopted, were explained by him to Mr. Biekett
Denison, M.P , who• suggested several alterations, and Mr. Francis
Mowatt, the Vice. Chairman, and arrangements were made for per-
fecting the plan by levels and surveys, which were completed in the
month of March following, and on the 16th of April the project
was announced by advertisement in the Times, under the name of
the " Great Northern Railway," before any advertisement of Sir
John Rennie had appeared : and the Committee of Direction dis.
tinctly affirm that the course over the first seventy miles from
London was adopted on actual surveys made by Mr. Gibbs, and not
suggested to them by any other parties; and they beg further to
observe, it is only now within these few days, that after the Lon.
don and York Company has been before the public for a period of
five months, after its whole capital of five millions has been sub.
scribed, and its shares has attained a high premium in the market,
that Sir John Rennie and Company have come forward with what
is intended to be a counter.project, and with the mis.statements
here disposed of.

All comment upon this course would, in the opinion of the Com
mittee, be idle.

Subjoined, for the information of the Shareholders and the public,
is au accurate table of the actual distances, and also a list of the
Provisional Committee of the I.ondon and York Company, pub-
lished in May last, including names that will be taken by the pub-
lic as a guarantee against any such conduct as is implied by the as-
sertions of Sir John Rennie and Co.

By order of the Committee of Direction,
