This important national .undertaking was brought forward in the
autumn of last year, and was suspended frona want of sufficient time
to comply with the standing orders of the, Houses of Parliament;
but, during the period that it existed, a very large number of shares
from influential persons were applied for, and it received eminent
public support. . .

It will commence at Kinies•cross,near the north cnd of Gray's

Inn-road, snit pass round Muswell Bill, through or adjacent to
Friern Barnet, Chipping Barnet; St. Alban', Luton. Silsoe, Ampt•
Lill, Bedford, Wellingborough, Kettering, Market llarborough, Lei-
cester, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Burton, Uttoxeter, Cheadle, Leek, Mac-
clesfield, and Stockport, to Manchester, with a branch from the line
between Cheadle and Uttoxeter, through Stoke and the Staffordshire
Potteries to Crewe.

This railway has not been pillaged from the prospectuses of any
other undertaking, nor have the labours of any other person been
appropriated to eke out a fancy scheme. It was originally planned
by Mr. George Remington in 1836, and in 1840 and 1841 this gentle-
man surveyed the ground, and too!e the sections between London and
Leicester, and personally inspected the Valleys of the Dove, Der-
went, and Churnet, with a view to obtain a great trunk line between
the most important termini in the empire. Manchester, the centre
of the great manufacturing district, comprising the towns of Bury,
Bolton, Rochdale, Ashton, Oldham, Macclesfield, Stockport, &c ,
and a mass of population, exceeding a million, actively engaged in
the pursuits of manufacturing industry, will benefit by every reduc-
tion of distance between itself and the metropolis, and requires a
direct communication, not a route made up of circuitous segments
of various undertakings already overworked, with a patch of new
railway between, but by one continuous railway.

Public opinion, the sentiments of eminent statesmen and engi-
neers, and the wants of the commercial world, have for some time
pointed out the necessity of a direct independent line. The circum-
stance alone of Other lines in this direction being new advertised,
which have been announced since this undertaking originated, is a
convincing proof of the feeling so generally entertained.
This is not all. Looking to the map of England, it will be per-
ceived that the nearest route to Edinburgh Is through the very centre
of the kingdom, by Manchester; and, from the obstructions of the
Firths of Forth and Tay, Carlisle and Manchester must necessarily
be points in the intercommunication between London and Glasgow,
and the North and North-east of Scotland. Whenever the Northern
railways are complete, a very great passenger traffic, as well as the
goods at present brought by sea to Liverpool from Glasgow, will be
added to the present amount, and the necessity of greater expedition,
certainty, and accommodation, will be felt to be more pressing.
Already, from the vast increase of business, the Midland lines have
obtained an amount of goods and passenger carriage that has reached
the limits of safety.

If, then, from various causes, such as the continuous increasing
traffic on the old lines—the junction of many new railways projected
and in formation—the approaching completion of the Scottish and
Northern lines—the progression of railway communication in Ireland,
new and immense sources of traffic will be necessarily poured in on
lines indirect and inadequate to general accommodation ; there can
'be no objection on public grounds to the construction of a direct lino
between,London. and Manchester. On the contrary, every reason
for its energetic support.
From Leicester to Bedford and London, It will intersect a rich,
populous, and fertile country, at present without railway communi-
cation to London, while northwards of Leicester it will pass through
important mineral and mining districts, and the coal and other natu-
ral productions of Derbyshire and Staffordshire will be immediately
available for the population along the whole line.
From a point in the Tean Valley,' near 'Cheadle, it is intended_ to
.earry a branch railway through the Staffordshire Potteries to Crewe,
by way of Lane-end, Stoke-upon-Trent, Hanley,
Lyng, Burslem; and Tunstall, so as to form a junctionislwcase tle-under-
with the Grand
Junction Railway, and peke this railway the best communication,
not only between Liendon and Manchester, but

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.--On ednesday evening,
the family of George Alderson, Esq., a gentleman residing in
Albion-strcei, Hyde-park, were thrown into a state of great'een.
steination by the discovery that that gentle Mail had nude ay
attempt at self dcstrltCtion. It bad been observed for seine time
• that he had been labouring under great depression of spirits.
Shortly before five o'clock he retired to his bedchamber, desiring
his daughter to call him about six o'clock, having express,d his
intention to acebruf,sny t.orne member.; of his family to the theatsp.
When.the young lady went to call him, she was rritt,h surprised,
and st last alarmed, at receiving nn answer to hCr repeated sum-
mons. She at length called the servant, who succeeded in bursting
open the door, when on entering the room Mr. Alderson was ob-
served lying on the bed in a state of stupor, with a bottle of lauda.
nem by his side, the contents of which he had drunk. No time
was lost in procuring medical aid, when the stomach.pump was
applied with success. The cause of the rash attempt is attributed
to speculations on the Stock Exchange, which have proved un-
favourable.

recommend the above dye as infallible, if done at their esta-
blishment ; and ladies and gentlemen requiring it are re-
quested to bring a friend or servant with them to see hew it is
used, which will enable them to "do it afterwards without the
chance of failure. Several private apartments devoted en-
tirely to the above purpose, and some of their establishment
having used it, she effect produced can be at once seen. They
think it necessary to add, that by attending strictly to the in-

succeeded equally well without coming to them. Address
