ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at OIVE CHARGE.

ONDON and YORK RAILWAY.
Several advertisements having• of late appeared, headed
"DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY," and having attached
thereto the names of Sir John Rennie, Mr. Gravatt, Major Amsinc,
and others, in which it is asserted—that by the Direct Northern
Line the distance from London to York will be twenty miles less
than by the line proposed by this Company—that the scheme to
connect London with York originated with, and was first projected
by, Sir John Rennie and Company—and that upwards of seventy
miles of their scheme has been appropriated by the London and
York Company—the Committee of Direction feel called upon, in
,justice to themselves and the shareholders, to give these assertions
the most direct and unqualified contradiction.
To the first they reply—that the difference In distance between the
projected lines from Landon to York, instead of being twenty miles,
is sot more than too miles and a half. Sir John Rennie's, by his
own account being 180 miles in length—that of the London and
York being in reality upon the line, as finally laid down, 18.51
miles.

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.
sinners, 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. Beckett
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 an accurate table of the actual distances, and also a list of the
Provisional Committee of the London 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.

AT a very numerous Meeting of the Committee of
Mr. Alderman Wood, held at the Swan-with-Two-Necks,
Lad:lane, on Thursday, the 3d day of October, 1844,

WILLIAM COATES, Esq., Chairman,
It was moved by Mr. Deputy MUDDELL, and seconded by
Mr. CURLING, and carried unanimously:—
That the Committee of Alderman Wood, in consequence of the
great disappointment felt by the Livery at his rejection by the
Court of Aldermen, and of the numerous additional promises of
support which they are daily receiving, announce to his friends
that they will continue to meet from time to time, to watch every
opportunity, and to act upon every occasion, wherein the necessity
may arise, and 111 which it may be considered useful, to afford their
strenuous exertions to further the important object of their first
formation, in the hope thereby to bring back to their pristine state
the influence of the Livery of London in Common Hall assembled.
It was moved by Mr. San Fit Small, and seconded by Mr.
AN.DERTON, and carried unanimously:—

That the thanks of the Committee are due to the Editor of
" The Sun" newspaper for the explanatory and able article which
appeared in that publication of the 25th of September, as well as
for the impartial and correct report of the proceedings at the
Common Hall, and that the aforesaid article be forthwith pub.
lished for general circulation.
Signed, by order of the Committee,

WM. COATES, Chairman.
It was moved by Mr. LOCKE, and seconded by Mr. WELFORD,

and carried unanimously :

That the best thanks of this Meeting be given to William
Coates, Esq., for his powerful advocacy and unceasing attention
to the important duties of Chairman of this Committee, and that he
be requested to continue his useful and valuable assistance.

THE NEW HALF-FARTHINGS.
This new copper money, just coin'd at the Mint,
Is something which furnishes many a hint.
When we look at a coin so remarkably small,
We're rather surpris'd it was issued at all ;
But when we examine the facts of the case,
We see how the new introiuction took place.
No doubt such a thing was judiciously done,
To accommodate dealers with MOSES and SON.
You must know that vast thousands repair, ev'ry day,
To purchase our clothes in such boundless display.
And this is no wonder. For all will confess
That we rival the kingdom in cheapness of dress.
To the very " last farthing" our profits were brought,
And if" that" were deducted, why we should have nought,
But since the" half.farthing" is such a" good hit,"
E. MOSES and SON will the difference split.
And the pub'ie shall purchase of MOSES and SON,
Choice articles lower than ever they've done.
As soon as we saw the small coin from the Mint,
We were not at all backward in taking the hint.
But wishing, at all times (as far as we can),
To help in promoting a Government plan,
We resolv'd, while we furnish'd with beautiful dress,
To sell at the rate of a profit " still less;"
And thus by " Half-Farthings" much good will be done
To the numberless dealers of MOSES and SON.
N. B. For the convenience of parties residing from town, on appli-
cation, directions for self-measurement will be forwarded post free.

FOR ALL CASES OF SCURVY, SCORBUTIC HUMOURS,
AND SCROFULA, BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINT-
MENT.—EXTRAORDINARY CURE.—Henry Hill, now a
footman to Lord 8., was lately discharged from the Duke
of B's. service in consequence of his having large
scorbutic blotches all over his hands and face, to his
great disfigurement. For twelve months he was treated
by his master's medical attendants, but to no purpose,
and the case was at last declared incurable, and he was
discharged. The poor fellow then, as a forlorn hope,
commenced using Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which
effectually eradicated the disease from his blood
in less than three weeks. Sold at Professor Hollo-

bone on that subject, and to have resulted in an
order that inquiry should be made whether their
children had been enlisted for life, or for a term of
years.
I shall not now stop to remark on the conduct of
"guardians" who could thus promote the "un-
limited enlistment" of their children, without first
making themselves acquainted with the duration of
the engagement into which, by solemn oath, the boys
were about to enter ; but I wish to invite attention to
the following petition, presented to the House of
Lords by the Marquis of Normanby, relating to one
of these Marylebone cases. Two weeks previously to
its presentation it was read to the directors and guar-
clisms, in order to give them the fullest opportunity of
denying any of its allegations.
John Jackson called on me again yesterday, hav-
ing made a fourth journey to Chatham barracks
(where his son still remains) ; he repeats his own
and his wife's urgent request that every means may
be used to secure the restoration of the boy to his
family.—l am, &c., respectfully,

To the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and
Temporal of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled;
The petition of the undersigned Louisa Jackson and
John Jackson, the mother and step-father of
Frederick Jackson, a boy now in the depot of the
31zt Regiment of Foot, in Chatham barracks,
Humbly showeth,—
That your petitioners, being in very straitened cir-
cumstances, the aforesaid Frederick Jackson, their
son, was permitted by the parochial authorities of St.
Marylebone, after due inquiry into the case, to re-
main an inmate of their workhouse, and was allowed
the privilege of
.visiting your petitioners at certain
times.
'That the said youth was, on or about the 16th of
December last, enlisted, with six other lads, and
sworn to unlimited service of the Queen 8.3 a soldier
in the 31st Regiment of Foot, without the knowledge
or consent of the petitioners, who consider themselves
greatly aggrieved thereby; and that the youth was at
that time only thirteen years and about eleven days
old, as will appear from the memoranda attached
to this petition.
That during several weeks after the day of enlist-
ment the customary visits of the mother to the work-
house, or of the child to his parents, were interrupted
by her confinement and subsequent illness, the
father being, at the same time, employed in a
brewery, where his services were required every day
of the week.
That on the earliest suitable opportunity the nurse
wss sent to the workhouse to ask permission for the
lad to come home for a few hours, which application
was refused, without any explanation of what had
occurred ; and that on several subsequent Sundays
this application was repeated, both verbally and by
letter, with a similar result.
That the mother, being at length partially restored
to health, applied in person to be allowed to see her
boy, and then discovered, to her great astonishment
and distress, that he had been for several weeks a
soldier in Chatham barracks !
That the mother then, by letter, addressed to
Major Spence, and the father, by a journey to Chat-
ham, endeavoured to obtain the restoration of the lad
to his family, but without success. On the contrary,
that officer has intimated, in his letter addressed to
the Secretary of the Marylebone Guardians, bearing
date 15th of March, that "the enlistment is conclu-
sive," and that a sum of twenty pounds will be re-
quired to purchase his discharge.
That your petitioners are in very humble circum-
stances, and have three other children dependent on
them for support, and that the parochial authorities
of St. Marylebone have declined to render them the
redress they now seek.
Your petitioners, therefore, implore your Lord-
ships to interpose on behalf of an injured family, and
to take such measures as may be best calculated to
effect the restoration of this child to his anxious
parents.—Signed, April 12, 1844.

JUST JUDGMENT of CONFUCIUS.

The affairs of government did not occupy him to
such a degree as to induce him to dispense with his
attention to the affairs of private individuals. He
had appointed certain days in the course of the month
to examine personally the causes of various kinds
brought before his tribunal. On one of these days of
public audience a person of the middle class came be-
fore him, accused his own son of having failed towards
him in an essential point of duty, and begged him to
visit the culprit with all the vengeance and severity
of the law.

Confucius listened quietly to all that the afflicted
father had to say to him, and promised to examine his
complaint at leisure, and to do him justice by punish-
ing his son severely, if he was found to deserve it.
" However," added he, in conclusion, "as it may
be that some part of the fault is yours, and that you
yourself are blameable for not having instructed him
in his duties, go to prison till I call you to judgment.
shall arrest your 3on, and make a prisoner of him
as well as yourself. Do not be uneasy about the
sentence I shall pass; it will be all in your favour."
The accuser and the accused were three entire
months in 'prison without the judge giving the least
symptom of his thinking about them. This, how-
ever, was far from being the case, and he was secretly
as much interested about their dispute as if it had
personally interested him.
After the three months had expired, he summoned
them both before him.

"Of what crime," asked he of the father, " has
your son been guilty towards you ?"
" Of none," replied the old man.
" Of what, then, do you complain ?"
"Of a trifle, of nothing," answered the father. " I
was angry when I came to complain of him, and I
knew not what I was doing or what I was saying. I
implore you very humbly to take no more notice of
what I then said against my son."
" I expected as much," said Confucius, good-na-
turedly, "and it was to leave your passion the time
to exhale that I detained you three months in prison ;
return home with your son, and live in peace. You,
young man, never forget that filial piety is the first
obligation which nature imposes on man. And you,
my good man, instruct your son in his duties; this is
what you engaged to do in giving him existence."—

THE SOUTII WALES RAILWAY.—WE stated last
week that a deputation from the Severn Navigation
Commission, consisting of Mr. Pakington, M.P., Mr.
Spooner, M.P., Mr. J. W. Lea, Mr. Leader Williams,
and Mr. Waters, had an interview with the Earl of Dal-
housie, at the office of the Board of Trade. We are now
enabled to state that the object the deputation had in
view was the laying before the Noble Earl the objections
which the Severn Commission had to the proposed
South Wales Railway, the chief of which referred to
the contemplated erection of a bridge over the Severn,
for the purposes of the railway, and thereby impeding
the navigation. On this subject, we understand that re-
presentations have already been made to the Great
Western Company from Monmouthshire, and received
with the greatest attention and consideration. Indeed,
the effect produced by the statements and argaments
against their projected plan was sufficiently strong to
induce them to promise that the following surveys should
be made by Mr. Brunel immediately. First, to ascer-
tain whether some point may not be selected on the
River Severn, between Gloucester and Purton, for the
construction of a bridge of such a character as not to
impede the navigation in the most remote degree—and,
from the passage thus effected, to strike through the
heart of the Forest of Dean to Monmouth, Usk, and
Newport. Secondly, in the event of this scheme proving
impracticable, then to survey a line from Gloucester
through the Forest to Monmouth—and also a line by
Ross to Monmouth—and if these two lines should both
be found incompatible with the maintenance of a rapid
and profitable communication with Ireland, then, thirdly,
to adhere to the line already proposed, via Chepstow,
upon the assurance that everything had been done which
could in fairness and good faith be expected to further
the wishes and views advocated in this part of the coun-
try.— Worcestershire Chronicle.
Mr. Duff, the Chairman, Mr. Bidder, the Engineer,
and Mr. Parker, the Solicitor of the Norwich and
Brandon Railway Company, had an interview yes-
terday with the Earl of Dalhousie, at the Board of
Trade.

RENTS.—The value of money having decreased
(and will so continue), it is but just that landlords cf
every description reduce their rents. Any landlord
charging more than a fair rent is virtually picking the
pocket of his tenant.

IRELAND.
MINISTERIAL POLICY IN IIiELAND.
D rIII.IN, OCT. 2.—On Friday last an address from
the Remonstrant Synod of Ulster, composed of the t ni-
tarian clergy who had seceded from the Presbyterian
Synod of Ulster (now designated the Irish General As-
sembly), was presented to Lord Heytesbury by a depu-
tation, consisting of the Rev. Dr. Montgomery. Rev.
Fletcher Blakely, Rev. W. B. Minniss, and Mr. K. G.
Smith. I subjoin the address, with the important and
very significant reply of his Excelleney:—
" To his Excellency Baron Hey!esbury, Lord Lieutenant-

General and General Governoi. of Ireland.
" May it please your Excellency,—We have the ho-
nour to approach you, on behalf of the Ministers and
Elders of the Remonstrant Synod of Ulster, specially as-
sembled, to offer our most respectful congratulations on
your Excellency's appointment to the chief government
of Ireland.

" Our satisfaction in making this customary homage to
the representative of the most beloved Sovereign who
ever swayed the sceptre of these realms, is greatly en-
hanced by the consideration that you occupy your pre-
sent exalted position in consequence of the distinguished
ability and prudence so long displayed by your Excel-
lency in other lands, in discharging the delicate and im-
portant duties of high offices connected with the honour
and interest of the British empire.
" We should feel ourselves guilty of deep ingratitude,
did we not also declare that we approach your Excel-
lency with still augmented satisfaction, as a nobleman en—
joying the confidence of her Majesty's present Ministers,
to whom all the Nonconformists of these countries are so
largely indebted for the late extension of the principles
of justice and toleration, in passing taro Dissenters'
Chapels Bill, and to whom yvuourselves axe under special
obligations fur the peace and security in which we now
enjoy those most valued properties, transmitted to us by
our ancestors, or created by ourselves, for the promo-
tion of what we humbly believe to be ' pure and un-
defiled religion.'
" As lovers of our native land, and all its inhabitants,
we rejoice to believe that your Excellency brings to the
arduous task of governing a population of mixed races
and creeds, the invaluable qualifications of sound consti-
tutional information, great political wisdom, an earnest
desire to administer exiSting laws with scrupulous im-
partiality, and a , full determination to recommend such
conciliatory changes and improvements as may tend at
once to secure the peace and prosperity of Ireland, and
to confirm the integrity and power of the United
Kingdom.

The people of this country are proverbially fond of
justice,' and pre-eminently sensible of kindness—both of
which your Excellency's established reputation assures
us they shall abundantly experience at your hands ; so
that, under the blessing of Divine Providence, your Ex•
cellency may enjoy the delight of beholding confidence
superseding distrust, affection displacing alienation, and
the chaos of religious and political strife settling
into the organised forms of social harmony.and national
prosperity.
"For ourselves, we unhesitatingly rely upon the con-
tinuance, by your Excellency, of that equitable and
impartial attention to our civil rights, as a church, which
we have uniformly experienced from your Excellency's
predecessors in the chief Government of this country ;
and, on our own part, we pledge ourselves to the conti-
nued use of our best exertions in promoting loyalty to
our most gracious Sovereign, obedience to the laws, and
the extension of mutual forbearance and good-will
amongst all classes of our fellow-subjects.

Synod of Ulster.

" FLETCHER BLAKELY, Clerk."
To the foregoing, his Excellency made the following
reply :
