JONDON and YOB K RAILWAY.
A Sevcral 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 London to York, instead of being twenty miles,
is not more than two 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, 1851
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 Ycrk 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 an& 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 t'ir
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 Leak
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 he a counter.project, and with the misstatements
here disposed of.
All comment upon this course would, in the opinion of the Com-
mittee, be idle.

The leading principle of this Mutual Assurance Society Is, that the
whole Profits are divisible among the Policy Holders every three
years. In illustration of the eminent success which has attended the
Society, it may be stated that the additions made to Policies have
been at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum on the sum assured and on
the vested bonus.
Thus the holder of a Policy for 1,0001. effected on the Ist of March,
1832, will, if it become a claim during the present year, be entitled
to 1,2971.; or, if effected on or before the Ist March, 1;33, to 1,2751.,
and so on as regards other Pali! les .
The Accumulated Fund exceeds 260,0001., and the Annual Revenue
is above 70,0001., the whole being in a course of steady and increas-
ing prosperity.
No other Life Assurance Institution whatever can warrantably
hold out greater advantages to parties Assuring than this Society does.

work embracing most clear and

plaints hitherto little understood,
and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.
Wemust, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression cn our minds, that we not only recommend,
p
hut 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 Argils.
" The Authors of The Silent Friend.' seem to ha thoroughly
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 enterinr, the marriage state, cannot

infinitely more healthy, as is proved by physicians and chemists of
high standing, as Dr. Bryant, &c., also by persons in great num.
hers with the most delicate lungs and stomachs, and yet many per-
sons have not tried nor ever heard of this celebrated morning and
evening beverage. It is most pleasant and invigorating, and is
recommended to the debilitated for its invaluable qualities, to ad.
vanced age for its strengthening properties, and . to the public
generally for its moderate price and intrinsic excellence.
It neither has the stimulating and heating effect of Coffee, nor
the nervously exciting effect of Tea, sad is more strengthening
than Porter, without the deleterious effects, while it is beneficial
to the whole nervous and circulating systems. _ .

The Test—the proof of the efficacy and healthful effect of the
plant in preference to Tea or Coffee.—Let a nervous or dyspeptic
patient use two or three cups of strong Tea upon retiring to rest,
and the effect will be nightmare, disturbed sleep, and other violent
symptoms of indigestion, &c.

The Proof—let the most debilitated, dyspeptic, asthmatic, con-
sumptive, and nervous patients use two, three, or more cups of a
very strong infUsion of the Piqua Plant, and in the morning they
will awake refreshed with their repose. It is highly recommended
by Physicians to Invalids and Children, as a roost invigorating and
pleasant beverage.
The following are reasons why the Plant is superior to Tea,
viz
Ist. Because it is beneficial to health.

2d. It does not injure the nerves.
3d. It does not prevent sleep.
4th. Children may use it with advantage to health.
sth. It is strengthening and nutritious.
6th. A quarter of a pound will go as far as three-quarters of a
pound of the best Gunpowder Tea.
7th. It is recommended by Physicians, and Tea is disapproved
of by them.

Numerous Testimonials from Physicians and others of undoubted
authority may be seen at the Depot. The Plant is patronised by
many of the first families in the land.
The amount in economy derived from the nse of the Piqua Plant,
compared with Tea, is as follows :—Suppose a family using one lb.
of Tea per week, worth 4s. per lb., substitutes the Plant at 3s. 6d.
per lb., which requires but one-third the quantity to make the in.
fusion of equal strength, the saving would be, per week, 35., and
the cost to the family Is., instead of 45.; for one-third of a lb. of the
Plant will go as far as one lb. of Tea.

Sold at the Depot, No. 1, Saray-street, Strand, London, in
Quarter-pound tinfoil packages, at 3s. 6d. per lb.
None is genuine unless each package bears the signature of
WM. EVANS.

It greatly improves the voice; it is recommended to Singers and
Public Speakers.

One agent is wanted in each town where there is none ; any
respectable trade approved.

Price and Co.'s Perfumery is so superior to any other, and in suck
general demand, that many shopkeepers are basely deceiving the
Public by selling spurious imitations. Price and Co. respect.
fully solicit Ladies and Gentlemen when they purchase not to
take any article without the protection label, from a design by Sir
William Congreve, being affixed to it, with the signature of
" Price and Co., Lombard-street," in red ink, and " 28" conspi.

YOUNG ENGLAND.
(From the Times.)
The question has been often • repeated with more or
[ess scepticism and superciliousness, " What is Young
England, and what does it mean ?" All that people
knew, or affected to know, Was, " that half a dozen per-
sons had agreed in. the very ordinary project of decrying
things as they are, and wishing back again things as they
were. There was nothing in this, er.at least there migl.t
be nothing, but a very irrational excess of a very com-
mon sentiment. " Once on wtinie;" the delightful era
of the fables which filled the mind of infancy, and colour
even the speculations of manhood.- -.A- craving for the
past is natural to many, for the simple reason that it is
not practical, and, so far from involvkng us in the painful
responsibilities of action, is -a reedy excuse for doing
nothing. Then it must be remembered that history is
always dressed up ; the best things .are best told, and
naturally leave a more abiding fragrance behind them.
So, all things considered, the above project,, if project it
could be called, seemed to many about as'stale, common-
place, and idle an affair as could be pretended or con-
fessed to. Then, when people came to :look fur actual
results, if they were unfavourably disposed at first,
they were not satisfied afterwards. The workings of
Young England seemed as incongrtious as they were
objectionable. One of the party was. for restoring,
monasteries and the Book of Sports,. and for repeal-
ing the Statute of Mortmair. Another appeared
anxious, in hil own person, to bring controversy to the
trial by wager. Another wrote a book, showing up
in very good style the Peers and politicians cf these our
gentile times, but containing nothiog serious or intelli-
gible, except it were the praises of Judaism. It Was
difficult either to approve these things severally, or to
reduce them to a common term. So, what was Yoking
England, and what did it really mean ? Now. it may
be fair to ask this question, but not to insist on a dis-
tinct and immediate answer. A school of opinions may
be very good and sound, and pregnant with great re-
sults, without being as perfectly prcdueible as so many
pounds, shillings, and pence, in answer to a pecuniary
remand. Some projects there have beer, and are now,
which a man can put into your hand at once, without
their being necessarily all the better for it. Everybody
who takes the trouble may ascertain to the smallest iota
what Mahomedanism or Mormonism is. Socialism kid
Chartism glory in their explicitness. Religions dogmas,
true or Ellie, are, of course, meant to be clear. BUt
when you come to schools of opinion, they must start
with bread principles or preferences. Time works them
into shape, and gives them their actual objects. But no
school, no party whatever, will stand the test of a
scrutiny pushed as far as hostility or suspicion mny
choose to push it. No school can at first say what it
will do, or what it will be. Was Pitt the same from
first to last, or could he have laid down in 1780 the
exact course he intended to take, or even the exact I
principles on which he intended to act, for the ensuing
six and twenty years ? What is Toryism ? Yet
Toryism is no longer a future scheme, but a past
history. You may sit down to analyze it, if you
can, in your study ; and put into the crucible every mar,
every deed, and every word of the whole party from b--
;inning to cud. It can only be resolved into, a few ge-
neral preferences, most inadequately and inconsistently
followed out. Conservatism is something too hazy acid
fugitive to talk about. It has passed off like the tail of
a cornet, about which the astronomical world was exactly
divided on the question whether it had a nucleus or not.
The statesmen now in power know so well the perils of
superfluous particularity, that they neither answer any
questions nor indulge in any distinct anticipations.
'1 heir underlings who fall into the error, either through
the ardour 'of sincerity, or the stratagems of the fee, are
sure to be severely snubbed by their leader, than whom
futurity itself is scarcely more dark and inscrutable.
Such is the course of Providence, and such Sir Robert
seems to think enlist to be the course of those who, under
Providence, conduct the affairs of empire.
" Prudens futuri temporis exitum
Caliginofa nocte prethit Deus ;
Itidetque si mortalis ultra
Pas trepidat. Quod adest memento
Componere sequus."
That is all the comfort the Premier offers to the trepi-
dations of his followers. "Don't inquire beyond your
mortal capacity., Make up your minds to what you see,
and be content.' The wisdom of his course is not to
be disputed, as we do not see how the Government, under
existing circumstances, can otherwise be carried on'.
His opponents are becoming equally sagacious, and in-
deed have never shown any disinclination to trim their
course to events. It is impossible to say what either
party is aiming at—i. e. in the way of principle, for
place and power are Objects intelligible enough. Of
course, in
,such an :universal mist of opinions, every
party is anxious that some other party should show
itself. " Only let us know who you are, and what you
are, and what you are going to do," is the universal
expostulation, though often .a very insidious one. It
generally means nothing more than show yourself, and
bo shot at." The object is to-induce some political rival
to precipitate and founder his plans, or perhaps to make
plans which events are not ripe fur, and which can be
more easily demolished now than ten years hence.
On the whole, therefore, we think that " Young
England" is quite justified in standing to a few
general preferences, and waiting for the slow and
natural developments of time. It cannot be a tree'
all at once. At present, we readily grant its light
is somewhat hazy and prismatic. New and old,
Chris-
tian and Jewish, Papistic and Protestant, monastic and
sportive, literary and belligerent, commercial and aris-
tocratic, popular and feudal, it presents a very remark-
able specimen of those many-refracted hues which are
always found more or less in the light transmitted
through various terrestrial media. But so long as it
prospers and gains fresh suffrages' it can well afford the
imputation of indistinctness in a day when nothing is
distinct, when every man and everything is changing,
no one knows or seems to care into what. In such a
state of things it is evident 'that general principles, ex-
cept, and in subordination to, the expresscanons of sacred
truth, are the safest and the only guide. Thus far these
gentlemen have been quite as forward to embrace oppor-
tunities and show themselves as their most impatient ad-
mirers could desire. On two occasions within a week,
at Manchester and at Bingley, have they presented them-
selves personally before two very different auditories,
and said—not quite all they had to say, for withtt imagi-
nationswotld so fertile, and memories so stored,
couldt'a be

one may use that much-abused
They have advocated with extraordinary eloquence
increased attainments and increased comforts, elevation
both of mind and condition, for the many. There are
lovers of comfort who commend the ordinance of destitu-
tion, and there are lovers of learning who think it well
for others to be ignorant. There are also those who wish
others to be as themselves, but will not go through the
rough work of communicating the gifts of Heaven. Such
arc not the men of whom their enemies have called, and
who are not ashamed to be called, " Young England."
If we might resolve their recent acts into any one prin-
ciple, we should say it is an acknowledgment of the
great but neglected truth, that man is the- masterpiece
of the creation and that for him all earthly things
made and should be administered. lie is better
than
money, or house, or land, or rank, or learning, or any
work, or quality, .orinstitution of men. As far as the
bulk of our fellow-creatures does not partake of these,
or of the benefits flowing from them, so far are they a
disgrace and a burden to the possessors. The gifts of
Heaven live and flow. Favoured men and classes are
their channel, and the many their most rightful reci-
