This railway will connect the north of Scotland with all the pro
posed and present railways in the south, and leads directly from
Aberdeen to Edinburgh and Glasgow. Its length will be about 50i
miles, and the distances from Aberdeen to the following important
places will be as follows, viz.:—
To Edinburgh, via Arbroath, Dundee, and through Fife 125 Miles
Ditto, via Forfar, Perth, and Stirling 157
To Glasgow, via Forfar, Perth, and Stirling
Ditto via Dundee, Perth and Stirling ...... 157
The position of Aberdeen among the towns of Scotland is next
in importance to that of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and, with the
view of adopting the line best calculated to unite Aberdeen with
these and other populous cities, and to secure the most favourable
communication with the south, Mr. Cubitt, after a careful personal
survey has repotted his decided approval of the line now proposed,
and which may be described as follows :—From Aberdeen by
Stonehaven, Drumlithie, Iturencekirk, Marykirk, Dubton near
Montrose, and Bridge of Dun near Brechin, to Friockheim and
Guthrie, points abotit seven miles from Arbroath and Forfar in the
present line of railway to these towns.
Mr Cubitt has further stated that this line is also the most fa.
vourable as regards the expense of construction, and that his esti-
mate of 900,0001. is fully sufficient for completing the undertaking,
including the plant and every other expense up to the opening of
the railway,
The Company will be in a situation to submit evidence to Par-
liament that the traffic will yield a return of 8 per cent. to the share-
holders.
After the Act is obtained, interest at the rate of 4 per cent. will
be allowed upon the calls from the date of payment until the line
is opened for traffic.
The Parliame,ktary plans will be completed in time for deposit,
so that application may be made to Parliament for the Act next

session.
Copies of Mr. Cubitt's report and sketches of the line may be ob.
ained at the Company's offices, 2, Moorgate-street, London, where
applications for the remaining shares may be addressed to the Corn.

Messrs. Parker and Hayes, 1, Lincoln Inn-fields, London

Messrs. Hydes and Tymbs,
The line from Worcester, with a branch to the Severn, is In-
tended to pass near the towns of Pershore, Evesham, Stratford-on-
Avon, Banbury, Bicester, and Aylesbury, and to join the London
and Birmingham Railway in the vicinity of Tring, which has been
found, on the whole, to be a more desirable point of junction for
public' accommodation than Weedon. The line from Rugby to
Oxford is intended to pass also by way of Banbury, and will form,
for about twenty miles, a portion of the main line from Worcester
to Tring. Whilst Worcester by these means will be brought within
a distance of 119 miles of the terminus of the London and Birming-
ham Railway at Euston-square, the intermediate country will be
connected by the proposed line to Rugby with the eastern side of
the kingdom. On the other hand, Birmingham and the midland
and northern counties will be thus directly connected with Oxford
and the south; and, as a necessary result, the London and Bir-
mingham Railway Company will effect a junction of their existing
Warwick and Leamington branch with the proposed lines.
Accurate surveys of the country have been made under the di-
rection and personal superintendence of Mr. Robert Stephenson,
who reports that it is free from any considerable engineering dif-
ficulties.
Estimates of the traffic has been prepared, showing a return upon
the expenditure sufficient to induce the Directors of the London
and Birmingham Company to lease the line in perpetuity, which
they have agreed to do, with a guarantee of 4 per cent. per annum
to the Proprietors upon the outlay, and half the surplus profits.
A moiety of the shares is reserved for the Proprietors of the
London and Birmingham Company ; and the remainder will be
alloted to parties having local interests, and other appicants.
Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, will be paid half-
yearly on the Deposits and Calls, from the time of payment.
Applications for shares may be made to the solicitors, or to the
following sharebrokers :—Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite, Old
Broad-street, Mr. Robert William Moore, Threadneedle-street,
London dent; Mr.
Samuel Woods, jun., Liverpool; or Mr. James

RICHMOND and WEST-END JUNCTION
RAILWAY.
The Provisional Committee of this Railway have the satisfaction
to announce to the Shareholders and the public that arrangements
are now concluded with the Directors of the South. Western Corn.
pany, upon terms highly advantageous to the interests of this Com-
pany. The South-Western Company have guaranteed their
friendly co-operation and support to this Company, both in obtain-
ing the Parliamentary sanction to this undertaking, and in carrying
into execution the plans proposed for securing to this Company the
best terminus it is possible to obtain in the metropolis.
The amount of capital already subscribed is amply sufficient to
meet all the expenses that have to be incurred according to the
most liberal estimate; and the Subscribers' Contracts, with other
necessary deeds, have been extensively signed by the holders of the
Scrip, both in London and the country.
The following are the resolutions passed at a General Meeting
of the Provisional Committee, held at the office, on the 23d of
October instant, relative to the negotiations which have been for
some time carried on with the South-Western Company :
It was re%olved—" That the proposalinow made by the South.
Western Company are, in the opinion of this meeting, equitable
and advantageous to the interests of this Company, and that the
same be approved and adopted by this Committee."
Sir W. CLAY having left the Chair,
It was resolved unanimously—" That the thanks of this meet-
ing be given to Sir W. Clay for his kind services in the chair at
the meetings of this Committee."
W. CHADWICK, Esq., having been called to the Chair,
The following resolutions were unanimously agreed to:—
" That it be referred to the Sub Committee to carry into effect
the present agreement with the South-Western Company as soon as
possible."
" That the best thanks of this Committee are due to W. Chad-
wick, Esq., for his unremitted exertions in bringing the negotia-
tions with the South. Western Company to a prosperous conclusion,
which circumstance is not only the surest mode of securing to this
Company success in Parliament, but, in the opinion of this Corn.
mittee, will ensure a more certaint amount of profit."

- ' •

I am directed by the Committee, in answer to litany inquiries,
and for the information of the Shareholders, to state that the ques-
tion of junction with the South-Western Railway has been settled
by the vote of the Committee of Wednesday last; that notwithstand-
ing the extraordinary means used to sever this undertaking from
any connexion with the South-Western line, the result of the
meeting was 9 to 1 in favour of the views of the Committee, viz., a
junction with the South-Western Railway, being in proportion to
the shares held by the respective parties as 50 to 1. - The Com-
mittee have likewise to state that means have been taken to ascer.
tain the opinion of the Proprietors, and the result is, that the Sub-
scribers at Leeds, Manchester, and the north, are unanimous In
supporting the Committee, and almost the whole having been seen
or communicated with, they are able to state their belief that upon
the question of junction or no junction with the South-Western,
Sir William Clay, Sir George Larpent, and Mr. James Clay, stand
alone in the views they have taken against the whole of the Sub-
scribers. The Committee refrain from making any observations,
but satisfy themselves with laying before their Shareholders and the
public the facts of the case.

well, on Thursday, the 24th inst., for the purpose of resising the
proceedings of a Loan Society,
Mr. GOWER in the Chair;
Mr. Wilkinson, of Tysoe street, Clerken well, the party aggrieved,
having stated his case, and a Penny Subscription having been soli-
cited, the following resolutions were adopted, with but one dis-
sentient :
" That in the opinion of this meeting, every man signing a bill,
bond, or other security, is under all circumstances liable for the
payment thereof; therefore, any legal expenses which may be in-
curred for the recovery of the same, is attributable to the debtor
and not to the creditor."
" That the expression of public sympathy with a man who enters
into a liability and repudiates the payment thereof, is discreditable
to a commercial community, and dangerous to the existence of pub.
lic faith."
" That it is the opinion of this meeting that it is highly impru-
dent, if not dishonest, for any man to make himself liable for any
debt or bond, knowing his circumstances will not enable him to
pay the same."

F.DWARD PRICE and CO. beg respectfully
A to request that all parties wishing to purchase their COMPO-
SITE CANDLES will ask in the shops simply for " Price's Patent
Candles." Since these have attracted public attention, many Imita-
tors have made candles, and called them by the name " Composite,"
used by Edward Price and Co. ; but the process by which tile real
Composite Candles are made, being a patent one ; and E. P. and Co.
granting no licenses, none of these imitation candles are at all the
same as the real ones. The chief properties of these latter are their
burnng, without snuffin more brilliantly than the st wax, and
their affordisg so large ang, amount of light, that theybe are cheaper,
taking this into account, than the commonest tallow candles, one of
them giving the light of three ordinary moulds. They may be had of

WILLIAM LYNN respectfully calls the attention of the nobility,

of importation. It is in solid blocks, weighing from one to two hun-
dred pounds each, and is as clear as crystal ; it can be sent to any
distance, with very trifling waste ; and is used for a variety of pur-
poses that English Ice cannot be applied to.
W. L. has imported some PROVISION SAFES 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 furniture, rapidly
coining into use in northern and southern climes ; it is designed to
kee cool and sweet such dishes in the culinar y department as are
necessary to be protected from the heat of the weather during the
Runnier season.
The Refrigerator is now considered an indispensible article in the
economy of every good housewife ; the quantity of food it protects
from the weather will more than 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 can be supplied with
them on moderate terms.

The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in-
herent. privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented
throue the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such,
among others, this Essay addresses itself ; and by its perusal many
questioi,s,may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even
to the most confidential friend."—Stafford Gazette.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
" We regard the work before us,'' The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.
We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer-
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."
—Age and Argus.
"Te Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughlyh
conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to
those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot
fail to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.
