SECRETARY—Major William Amsinck.
The formation of a Direct Main-Trunk Railway, for the im.
portant purpose ef connecting the north of England and Scotland,
by York and Lincoln, with the metropolis, has been decided upon,
after mature investigation and conviction ef the public advantages
such a line of cemmunicatien.
The line will commenee near King's-eross, in the New.road, the
most central situatten in the metropolis, both as regards the West-
end and the City ; it proceeds by Chipping Barnet, Biggleswade,
St. Heats, Huntingdon, near Peterborough and Market Deeping by
Stamford, to the west of Bourn, east of Grantham, west ef Sleaford,
and east of Newark, to Lincela, and thence by Gainsboreugh,
Thorne, Snaith, and Selby, to York.
The distance by it between London and York will be I$S miles.
will be about 20 mike shorter than by any other proposed line.
t will reduce by 39 miler the present distance between London
and Yerk, and will consequently by the sane distance bring New-
castle and Zdiaburgh nearer to the metropolis, while the distance
'lived between London and Hull will be no less than 43 miles.
It will them the nearest mute to Leeds, Selby, Hull, Halifax,
Tiradford, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Pontefract, and Sheffield ; thus
commanding the baffle ef the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire,
as well as the traffic from the north of England, Scotland, Lincoln.
shire, and the ether agricultural districts through which it passes.
Taking its course through a highly productive country, it em-
braces all the market towns of importance, and connects all Lin.
Wilshire with the manufacturing districts and the metropolis.
andtthe"" " easy
communication between Norfolk and Suffolk,
e West and North of England.
The line, as will be seen by the map, does not interfere with the
drainage of the fen country, whilst it embraces the most important
markets and towns of that district.
The inclinations are extremely favourable, and are obtained at a
moderate expense, there not being any engineering work of great
finitude on the line. The guage will be the same as the exist-
ing lines through the anufacturing districts, and all loss of time
Id trarellingWill he avaldads fine under one management. as
the
line
will be an integral trunk
The expanse of construction being moderate, and the distance so
much reduced, the fares will be proportionately less, and an ample
pront is sufficiently shown by the annexed abstrict of the traffic
tables, which are the result of a most rigid investigation, and are
prepared as evidence for Parliament.
The capital proposed to be raised, namely, 4,000,0001., is a sum
exceeding the engineers' estimate. It has, however, been thought
advisable to allow an ample margin for any increase of prices above
those of the present time.
The surveys were commenced in October last, and in March
last, the Direct Northern Line, and its advantages (together with
many other trial lines, and their disadvantages), were carefully
brought to the consideration of many gentlemen well qualified to
form an opinion on such matters, and finally the:prospectus, accom-
panied by a map on a sufficient scale, was published on the 4th of
April, 11144. This prospectus and map show the London terminus
at Xing's-cress.
At this date there was not before the public any other project
for a direct line of railway from London to York ; but when more
than a month had elapsed from the time of the publication of the
Prospectus and Map of the Direct Northern Railway, the Cam.
bridge and York via Lincoln Railway Company (who had up to
that time adhered to an indirect line by Cambridge to York)
changed their title to that of the London and York Railway Com-
pany, and their stated capital, which previously had varied from
2,500,0001. to 1,600,0004, was then, for the first time, named at
4,009,000/. In their new prospectus the London and York Com.
Pany also adopted King's-cress for their London terminus.
Of the sense entertained of these encroachments by the pro.
rooters of the Direct Northern Railway, the York and Linden
Company were duly apprised by a circular addressed to each mem-
ber of their Committee oa the 18th of May last, and signed by the
Secretary, Major Amsinck.
A map of the London and York Railway was, however, pub.
Thrhed in the latter part of August last, which, to the surprise of
the promoters of the Direct Northern Line, showed an attempt to
appropriate upwards ef 70 miles from London of the published line
of the Direct Northern Railway.
Still the project of the London and York Railway Company falls
very far short ef a direct line from London to the north, as will be
seen from the following data:—
From London to York the distance by the present lines of rail-
way is 219 miles; by the proposed London and York line, stated
to be 200 miles; by the proposed Direct Northern Railway, 180
miles.

During the progress of this undertaking, a very large proportion
of the landowners on the line have been communicated with, and
consulted in reference to it, and the full concurrence of that im-
portant interest is, with very few exceptions, confidently relied on.
Public attention having been lately drawn to the atmospheric
principle, the Committee wish to observe that they are in a con-
dition to take advantage of that principle, should it eventually be
shown tab. for the benefit of the undertaking.
The sections of the country through which the line passes from
London to York can be seen at the offices of the Company, 64,
Moorgate-street. Every explanation, also, will be afforded with
regard to the traffic and other matters.
The Parliamentary plans, &c., are in course of preparation, and
application will tie made for an Act of Incorporation in the ensuing
session of Parliament.
The deposit of 5 per cent., or 21. 10s. per share, is necessary to
meet the requirement of the Parliamentary standing orders, but the
preliminary expenses will in no event exceed 10s. per share.
Interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum will be allowed on
all calls made after the passing of the Act till the opening of the
railway.
The subscribers' agreement and Parliamentary contract will be
ready for signature on the payment of the deposit.
A large proportion of the shares having been already applied for,
no application for shares can be received after the Bth of October
next, up to which period they may be addressed to the Secretary, at
the offices of the Compasy, 64, Moorgate.street, London, where
prospectuses and plans may be obtained ; or to Messrs. John Rail.

AMERICAN ICE.-LYNN'S WATERLOO
HOTEL, RANELAGH-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
WILLIAM LYNN respectfully calls the attention of the nobility,
gentry, hotel-keepers, and others, to this beautiful and cheap article
of importation. It is in solid blocks, weighing from one to two hun-
dred pounds each, and is as clear as crystal ; it van by sent to any
distance, with very trifling waste ; and is used for a variety of pur-
poses that English lee cannot be applied to.
W. L. has imported some PROVISION gATES from America, for

the use and comfort of Private Families—
The REFRIGERATOR, or (as sometimes designated) a Miniature
Ice-house. This is a new and useful article of ferniture, rapidly
coming into use in northern and southern climes ; it is designed to
keep cool and sweet such dishes in the culinary department as are
necessary to be protected from the heat of the weather during ike
summer season.
The Refrigerator is now considered an indispensible article in the
economy of every good housewife ; the quantity of food it protects
front the weather will more that pay the cost, of the article In
one year.
They may be seen in operation, in their various valuable and useful
purposes, at the Waterloo Hotel, and families CAR be supplied with
them on moderate terms.

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious Metals, called Nickel and German Silver, sup-
planted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
ALBATA PLATE.
C. WATSON, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Folgate, aided by
a person of Science in the amalgamation-of Metals, has succeeded in
bringing to Public Notice the most beautiful Article ever yet offered ;
possessing all the richness of Silver in appearance, with all Its dura-
bility and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in use, undergoing, as
it does, a Chemical Process, by which, all that is nauseous in mixed
Metals is entirely extracted—resisting all Acids--may be cleaned as
silver, and is manufactured into every Article for the Table and
Sideboard:—

C. WATSON begs the Public will understand that this Metal is
peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from Gold
than his metal is frost all others—on its intrinsic merit alone he
wishes it to be tested, and from the daily increasing eulogiums he re-
ceives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming en
article of universal wear.

PATENT PARAGON CAMPIIINE LAMPS.
The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has bees
happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger
and a smaller forming a coal round the margin of the wick, which
cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus condensing
every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke er smell,
having perfect combustion, and iu full action, emits a light equal to
16 was candles.
C. Watson's Warehouses, 41 and 42, Earbic,an, and 16, Norton
Folgate, will contain, throughout the season, all the most elegant
recherche and new patterns, comprising Or-molu, China, Glass, and
Opal.

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 sutpris'd it was issued at all;
But when we examine the facts of the case,
We see how the new introduction 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 public 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),
fo help in promoting a Government plan,
We reselv'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. Fir the convenience of parties residing from town, en appli-
cation, directions fir self-moaaurement will be forwarded post free.
