Nos. 8 and 9, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London,

The FIFTH GENERAL MEETING of PROPRIETORS was held
on the Bth July, 1845, ar. the Offices of the Company, Nos. 8 and
9, Waterloo-place, London.
JAMES STUART, Esq., Chairman of the Board of Directors,

in the Chair.

The Chairman laid before them the annual report of the receipts
and disbursements of the Company, and of the amount of their funds,
and also the annual report of the accuracy of the accounts of the
Company, attested by their auditors, all in terms of the deed of set-
tlement.

The meeting having then proceeded to the annual election of four
Directors, and one Auditor, in the room of those re-
tiring at the annual meeting in terms of the deed of
settlement, the Chairman said that it only remained for
him to express the pleasure which the Board of Direc-
tors had in again meeting the Proprietors of the Company on the re-
volution of another year, and in affording t• them explanations
which could not, he submitted, fail to satisfy the Proprietors of the
continued and increasing prosperity of their concerns. A detailed
statement of their accounts, framed by their secretary and ac-
countant, was now lying on the table, and from that statement the
explanations he was about to give were of course derived. They re-
late to the amount of assurances, to the amount of premiums, to the
amount of funds and annual income, and to the losses of the Com-
pany, and the number of deaths with reference to the number pro-
vided for in the tables on which they proceeded.
1. The amount of assurances effected in the year from 30th June,
1844, to 30th June, 1845, is 3.2,1941., a sum greater by 41,7601.
than in the year 1843, and greater by 107,3481. than in the year
1842 ; the increase of assurances is in a considerable degree to
be ascribed to the activity, zeal, and attention of the Company's
agents, at Glasgow, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and Dublin, where
the transactions of the Company are steadily making progress.
At Edinburgh the Directors have lately established a new
agency, which has commenced under favourable auspices, with
a very respectable Board, at the head of which is the Lord Pro-
voSt of the city.
2. The Premiums of Assurance received in 1844 are greater
by 7,9381. than in 1843, being for 184 t ........... .. • • £63,627
And for the year 1843 .. • • • . • • • • • • • • • •

Taking the last half year from Ist January, 1845, to 30th June,
1845, in competition with the corresponding half year of the
preceding year from the Ist January, 1844, to 30th June, 1844,
it turns out that the increase of premiums for the half year in
1845, is 1,9571. ; there being 276 new policies in the first half yerr
of 1845, the premiums of which are ••• • • ,
And there being 268 policies for the first half year of

3. The Report of the Directors shows an increase of funds of the
Company during the year 1844, amounting to 29,1581. ,
4. The Annual Income of the Company, as nearly as it can be ascer-
tained to the 30th June, 1845, £82,100
At the last annual meeting it was stated to 30th June,
1844, at ......... ..... •

•• •• •• •••••• .: 72,170

Increase during the year .! £9,930

5. While the whole losses on thirty-two policies during the year
1844, amount, after deduction of lapsed policies, to 14,5091., a sum
waly greater by 2,3471. than on thirty-one policies for 1843,
it is established by the report of Mr. King, the actuary of the
Company, now laid on the table, that the number of deaths of
those assured since the formation of the Company, to the 31st of
December, 1844, had only been 179, instead of 299, which is
about the number provided for in the tables of the Equitable
Society.

The results now communicated showed generally the very flourish-

- -
ing state of the affairs of the Company, but Mr. Stuart added that he
was quite ready to give any further information that the Proprietors
might ask of him. Indeed the statement laid on the table was so
ample, that the perusal of it would enable the Proprietors to obtain
every particular respecting the management which they could
desire.

The meeting, he need hardly add, was aware of the great altera-
tions at present in progress, and to be completed in a few weeks, on
the premises in Waterloo-place, formerly in their occupation, as well
as on those adjoining, sold to them IT the Londen and Westminster

Bank, for securing permanently to the Company, and to their officers,
ample and convenient accommodation, in certainly one of the very
best and most central situations in the metropolis. The purchase of
the whole property ha i cost 9,5001., but it was impossible, until the
alterations and repairs were completed, to state with precision the
amount of the expenditure on this account.
The meeting had one very serious cause for regret on this occasion,
in the absence frost indisposition of the founder of the Company, Mr.
Boyd, to whom they owed everything. He had been out of town
with his family since the repairs of the house had commenced, and it
was with great difficulty that the Directors could prevail upon him
not to return to town on purpose to attend this meeting. He was
sure that all the Proprietors who were present would join him In a
warm expression of their sincere wishes for his speedy restoration to
health. _ ..•

Mr. J. G. Henriques felt quite assured, from the satisfactory results
of the affairs of the Company now communicated by the Chairman .
to the meeting, that there existed but one opinion on the subject,
and that was one of entire approbation ; therefore he had great
pleasure in moving the adoption of the report and relative state-
ments. Mr. Alex. Henderson Macdougall seconded the motion.
which was unanimously agreed to.
Mr. De Castro the Deputy-Chairman, in congratulating the Pro-
prietors on the great success which all must adroit:, from the state-
ments now laid before them, had attended the management of the
Company's affairs, took that opportunity of stating that they were
solely indebted for that success to the exertions and unremitting zeal
of their respected resident, Mr. Boyd. He therefore felt the most
sincere gratification lu moving the thanks of the meeting to Mr.
Boyd. Mr. D. Q. Henriques had great pleasure in seconding the mo-
tion, which was carried by acclamation.
Mr Macdougall said he was convinced that the vote of thanks,
which he had now the pleasure of proposing, would receive the warm
and sincere approbation of the meeting. Their Chairman, they were
well aware, had given much of his time and attention to their in-
terests, and through his influence the accession to the business had
been considerable. He therefore moved the thanks of the meeting
to Mr. Stuart as well as to Mr. De Castro, the Deputy-Chairman,
and to the Directors of the Company, for their very great exertions in
promoting the success of the establishment, which motion was
seconded by Mr. Sprott Boyd, Mr. Henriques, and Mr. Jefferson, and
was unanimously agreed to.

JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en-
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The genee
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, " the genuine," but
without came or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to Inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.
BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such

The proposed line (which originally formed part of the scheme of
the South Midland Railway) will commence at or near the lilisvvorth
Station of the London and Birmingham line, at a point ol junction
with the Northampton aad Peterborougli branch, and will proceed by
Towcester and Banbury to Moreton-in-the-Marsh (where it will effect
a junction with the Moreton and Stratford-on-Avon, and also with
the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton lines), and whence it
will be continued to Cheltenham, where it will unite with the Bir-
mingham and Gloucester Railway, thereby (by a continuation of not
more than fifty-six miles, and in connexion with existing or projected
railways) connecting a grand line of communication from the German
Ocean to the Bristol Channel, and opening the most direct route Prom
the eastern and central districts of the kingdom to the ports of Glou-
cester and Bristol, and to the whole of the western and south-western
districts, as well as to South Wales and the south of Ireland.

Sta,—The folloWing particulars have been handed to us with a
request that they might be forwarded to you, with permission for
their publication, if you should deem worthy of sin h.
J.BROOKE and Co., Doncaster.
" Elizabeth Brearley, residing in Duke-street, Doncaster, aged
between forty and fifty, was severely afflicted with Rheumatism; and
confined to her bed for a period of nearly two months, with scarcely
the power to lift her arm ; she was signally benefited rfter taking
two doses of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, and after
finishing two boxes was quite recovered.'
The above recent test'monial is a thrther proof of the great efficacy
of this valuable medicine, which is the most effective remedy for
Gout, Rheumatism, Sciatica, Lumbago, Tic Doloroux, Pains in the
Head and Face, often mistaken for tooth-ache, and for all Gouty and
Rheumatic Tendencies.
It is also gratifying to have permission to refer to the following
gentlemen, selected from a multitude of others, whose station in
society has contributed to advance this popular medicine in public
esteem :—•1. R. Mandan, Esq., Coroner, Doncaster ; the Rev. Dr.
Blomberg ; the Chevalier de la Garde ; Mr. Miskin, brewer and
maltster, Dartford ; Mr. Richard Stone, Luton ; John J. Giles, Esq.,
Frimley ; Mr. Inwood, Perbright ; Courtenay, Esq.,
Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway Station, Hants.; aji of whom
have received benefit by taking this medicine, and have allowed the
proprietor the privil ge of publishing the same for the benefit of the
afflicted.
Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint-
ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.
Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT AID RHEUMATIC PILLS, and observe
the name and address of " Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, Londoon,''
Impressed upon the Govbssavont Stamp affixed to each box the
Genuine Medicine.

Reference to the map of England will at once suggest the impor-
tance of this project, which will connect the eastern and western
coasts at their nearest points of opposite approximation, and save a
most circuitous and dangerous coasting voyage of many days or even
weeks' duration. Indeed, so obvious are the advantages, and so vast
the anticipated traffic, that a project was formerly entertained of
forming a ship canal across the kingdom in the course uow con-
templated.

This railway will connect, by -tti6 shortest route, the following im-
portant towns, yd.:—
Boston, Ely, Bedford
Lynn, Cambridge, and
Yarmouth, Huntingdon, Northampton,
Norwich, Peterborough, with
Tenbuty, Evesham, Worcester, &c.; and with
Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Exeter, Plymouth, Weymouth, &c.,
also, with Hereford, Swansea, Milford Haven, Fishguard, and the
whole of the south of Ireland ; and will also connect Coventrys War-
wick, and Stratford-on-Avon, with the whole of the before-meutinned
places, thereby in effect accommodating a population of several
millions. . _

It is obvious that with these advantages the traffic must neces-
sarily at once be unusually large, and susceptible of great Rather
increase. A considerable quantity of barley and other corn is an-
nually shipped from the port of Lynn to the west of England and
Gloucester, which would hereafter be transported by the present line,
affording great advantages to the farmer by enabling him to avail
himself promptly of the most favourable_ market, the importance of
which is noticed by the Board of Trade in one of their recent re-
ports. The manufactures of Norwich would also secure a new and
profitable outlet, both for home and foreign consumption, by the
ready communication afforded with the west of England and Bristol.
Between Northampton and Banbury a large traffic already ,exists,
and amongst other great and obvious sources of profit and local
benefit, may be classed the opening of a new and extensive field for
the consumption of coal and iron, brought from the Leicester and
Swannington Railway by the South Midland Railway, and the deve-
lopment of the resources of the Warwickshire district by the junction
effected with the Moreton-in-the-Marsh Railway, thus bringing the
Leicestershire and Staffordshire coal into competition in the same
markets.
The line presents no engineering difficulties. The landholders
generally are considered favourable to the project, and the promoters
have every reason to calculate upon a most highly remunerative re-
turn on the outlay.
One-third of the shares will be reserved for the shareholders in the

NEWARK and SHEFFIELD RAILWAY,
and EXTENSION SCHEME into LINCOLNSHIRE.
Comniiittee of Management have much pleasure in announcing
that in consequence of the great and influential support they have
received in Lincolnshire, as well as along the line of their original
project, they will be prepared to bring forward in the next session of
Parliament an integral scheme, based on the recommendation of the
Board of Trade, with good gradients, and shorter than any other line
projected or existing, direct from Boston to Sheffield, to be called the
BOSTON, NEWARK, and SHEFFIELD RAILWAY.
Engineers and Surveyors are now engaged on the proposed line,
and it is confidently hoped that the enormous traffic so fully proved
and admitted before the Committee of the House of Commons, in the
case of the Newark and Sheffield Railway, and which will be so
greatly extended by the new project, will ensure success in Parlia-
ment, and an ample remuneration to the Shareholders.
The following gentlemen will be on the Provisional Committee,
which is not yet complete, but will shortly be published with a de-
tailed prospectus, and include a large number of influential parties
connected with the town ofßoston

The Directors of the Leicester and Birmingham Railway Company,
having had surveys made of the country between Nuneaton, Bed-
worth, and Coventry, with the view of giving a direct communica-
tion between those important districts and Leicester and Birming-
ham, and having included the same in their Parliamentary Deeds,
felt it their duty to oppose before Parliament the project for making a
Railway from Coventry to Bulkington, miscalled " The Coventry,
Bedworth, and Nuneaton Railway." This opposition was completely
successful, and the Bill thrown out ; and the Directors of the Leices-
ter and Birmingham, observing that other parties are now taking up
their project between Nuneaton and Coventry, give notice that it is
their nal inteition to carry out their Direct " Nuneaton, Bedworth,
and Coventry Branch," in connexion with their Leicester and Bir-
mingham line, affording the best and most beneficial route for pas-

An account of the expenses incurred for the original project, and
for the extension scheme, will be made up separately as soon as pos-
sible ; and all Shareholders who wish to withdraw from either or
both cf these undertakings, and intimate such intention to the Se-
cretary before the Ist August next, will be repaid their deposits, less
tke proportion of the expense applicable to each.
Shareholders who desire to abide by the undertaking, and give
notice of,their intention to the Secretary within the above period,
will be entitled to an equal Interest In the new project, into which
both the original and the extension schemes will be merged ; and they
will also receive a preference in the allotment of the additional Shares.
By order,
Mansfield, Juiy 10, 105. JOHN DENNISTON, Secretary.

The main line of this important undertaking will commence at the
abrupt termination of the Macclesfield branch of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and proceed thence in an
almost direct line to a point on the Trent Valley Railway near t.
Atherstone, and about fifteen miles north-west of Rugby.
It will therefore embrace in its course the towns of Leek, Cheadle,
Tean, Uttoxeter, Tutbury, and Burton-upon-Trent, the coal-fields
and Potteries of Swadlincote and Gresley, and the baths and coal-
fields of Moira, the whole of which wealthy and important tract of
country (with the exception of the town of Burton) is wholly destitute
of railway accommodation.

THE NEWRY, ARMAGH, and LONDON-
DERRY JUNCTION RAILWAY, from ARMAGH to

From Tean it is intended to construct a branch through the Staf-
fordshire Potteries by way of Longton, Lane End, Stoke-upon-Trent,
and Newcastle-under-Lyne, to Crewe and Nantwich, uniting at
Crewe with the numerous railways centering there, and Joining at
Nantwich the railway about to be formed by the conversion of the
Ellesmere and Chester, and Birmingham and Liverpool Junction
Canals.
It is also intended to construct a branch from the main line, at or
near Tutbury to Derby.
Such is the project, comprising the best parts of the old and well-
known " Manchester South Union" Scheme, which, in the year 1836,
elicited from a Committee of the House of Commons the most un-
qualified expressions of approval, and which an inspection of the map
of the country will show to be highly desirable, indeed almost indis-
pensable for the public interest.
It will open a shorter communication from Manchester, Stockport,
and Macclesfield, to London (by Rugby), and from Derby (and the
towns northward) to London, than any other line now before the
public.
It will unite Manchester with Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, and
the whole of the Midland and Eastern Counties.

It will afford to Nottingham, Leicester, Derby, and Burton-upon-
Trent the most direct communication with the Staffordshire Potteries,
Crewe, Chester, Runcorn, Liverpool, and the new Docks at Birken-
head, as well as with North Wales and Ireland.
By its means the towns of Leak, Cheadle, Tean, littoxeter, Tut-
bury, and the surrounding country, will receive, for the first time, the
benefits of railway communication, and the rich and extensive coal
fields of Biddulph, Poynton, Adlington, Cheadle, Gresley, Swadlin-
cote, and Moira, will be opened to the whole kingdom.
The traffic must necessarily be immense, and the returns highly
remunerative.

The proposed railway is intended to connect the assize town of
Omagh with the important city of Armagh, now the centre of all the
railways In the north of Ireland.

Thus the Committee are enabled to bring forward a legitimate and
independent undertaking, having due regard to a profitable invest-
ment of capital, as well as to the interest and accommodation of the
public.
The Committee desire to add, that in presenting, in its present
shape, their complete and comprehensive scheme independently of
any other Railway not actually formed, or now under the consideration
of Parliament, they are not influenced by a wish to supplant other
parties who may have a legitimate claim to a portion of the ground
they propose to occupy, but simply by a desire to form a shorter com-
munication between the great towns of Lancashire, Cheshire, and
Staffordshire, and the Metropolis and the Midland and Eastern Coun-
ties, and to secure to a great district yet unopened, that railway accom-
modation which Its wealth and importance demand, whatever may be
the fate of other projects which may have in view the partial or im-
perfect attainment of somewhat similar objects.
Powers will be taken in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 41.
per cent. per annum on all deposits and calls until the opening of the
Line.

Applications for Shares may be addressed to the Solicitors ; or to
the following Sharebrokers, viz :—Messrs. Tucker, Barnett, and Co.,

The line will commence at Omagh, where it will connect itself with
the Londonderry and Enniskillen station at that town, and, passing
through or near to Ballygawley, Fintona, Clogher, and Augher,
Auchnacloy, Caledon, and Killylea, terminates at Armagh, where it will
form a junction with the Ulster Railway to Belfast, the Inland Line
to Dublin, the Newry and Ennisk lien, and also the Armagh, Co7e-
raine, and Portrush Railways.
By this line of railway, the inhabitants of Tyrone and the adjacent
counties will be afforded the most direct and expeditious mode of ac-
cess to Armagh, Newry, and Belfast ; and as the distance between
Omagh and Dublin will be by this line twenty miles shorter than that
proposed by any other company now projected, the whole goods and
passenger traffic from the north-western and north-midland parts of
Ireland in the direction of the metropolis will pass over this railway.
To those acquainted with the county of Tyrone, and the Ii
course of its traffic to Belfast and Newry,' it must be obvious.nd tit
this railway will afford facilities for the transit of goods
pas-
sengers, which mast be at once a great accommodatio to the public
and most remuneratiVe to shareholders.
The entire lengh of the line will be about 35 statute miles, The
p
traffic returns justify the expectation that the Shareholders will
derive at least 8 per cent. interest on tlitcerireasceapfirtoalmfotrhteheimpr present,
with every prospect of progressive
traffic which rairw c a

produces.
Power will be taken to allow Interest at 4 per cent. per annum on
