ONDON and YORK RAILWAY.
Several 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 proposal by this Company—that the scheme to
connect London with York originated with, and was first projected
by, Sir John Rennie and Company—an a that upwards of seventy
miles of their scheme has been appropriated by the London and
York Company—the Committee of Di rcction 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 primed, and, if realised, whe-
ther such a difference would be compe•asated 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 York 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 tbefr report of 1841. That
such scheme was never abandoned by him., but in February of the
present year the details of the London and York Railway, as now,
with modifications adopted, were explained by him to Mr. Beckett
Denison, MP , who suggested several alteratior, and Mr. Francis
Mowatt, the Vice-Chairman, and arrasivraents were made for per-
fecting the plan by levels and surveys, which were completed in the
month of March following, and on the I fith of April the project
was announced by advertisement in the Times, under the name of
the " Great Northern Railway," before any advertisement of Sir
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 Lon-
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 be 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.
Subjoined, for the information of the Shareholders and the public,
is an accurate table of the actual distances, and also a list of the
Provisional Committee of the London and York Company, pub-
lished in May last, including names that will be taken by the pub-
lic as a guarantee against any such conduct as is implied by the as.
sertions of Sir John Rennie and Co.

CANDLES SUPERIOR IN THEIR BURN-
ING QUALITIES TO THE FINEST WAX are now retailed
throughout the Country at One Shilling per lb.
Parties who are in the habit of burning two tallow moulds of four
to the lb , are respectfully requested to mate the experiment
whether a single " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLE" of six to the lb.
will not give mere light ; and whether, therefore, these Candles do
not afford a cheaper - source of light than the commonest tallow
ones, notwithstanding the difference in price per lb.
Care must be taken to ask for them in the shops under the name
given above, as there are some imitations sold under the name " Com-
posite," by which Price's Patent Candles were originally. made
public.

AMERICAN ICE.-LYNN'S WATERLOO
HOTEL, RANELAGII-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 can he 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
he use and comfort of Private Families—

The REFRIGERATOR, or (as sometimes designated) a Miniature
Ice-house. This is a new and useful article of farniture, 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 the
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 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.

LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE ON

THE RIVER.

_ .
Late en Saturday evening Mr. Carter, the Coroner for
East Surrey, commenced an inquiry at Mr. Avis's, the
Eight Bells Tavern, Putney, into the circumstances at-
tending the death of Mr. Henry Tyer, aged 21, a mid-
shipman, and son of the late Mr. 'Tyer, of Manor House,
Barnes. The deceased was drowned off the Crab Tree,
at Hammersmith, on the evening of Friday, the 27th
ult., but his body was not found until Saturday morn-
ing last.
Mr. James Sprinp,ett, a boat-builder at Putney, de-
posed that the deceased, with whom he was well ac-
quainted, hired a wherry of him about half-past two
o'clock on Friday afternoon week. He was then quite
sober. He had been in the habit of going up the river
every day for about three weeks, and was fully capable
of managing a boat. Witness never saw deceased alive
after that afternoon, but the next morning ha heard that
his boat was at the Crab Tree, and he went after it. It
was not in the least injured, so that the decased could
not have run foul of any craft.
Charles Taylor, of No. 44, Lower Fore-street, Lam-
beth, fisherman, deposed that on Friday evening week,
about five o'clock, ho was fishing at Chiswick-eyot, when
he heard a cry of " a man overboard." Upon looking
round he saw the deceased in the water ; he was swim-
ming. Witness rowed towards him and got him into
his boat, and took him ashore at Chiswick. Deceased
said he had slipped his scull and fell in. Deceased
treated witness and another man to a quart of ale, and
took down his address, promising that he would call upon
him and reward him. Witness said that deceased was
drunk, and when he wanted him to push off his boat for
him he would not do so, as he conceived he was not
capable of managing a boat in the state he was then in.
Witness went away, leaving deceased on shore; he after-
wards heard that he was drowned, and he dragged three
hours for him but without success.

Hull

Chatham
Dover

Edward Hawkins stated that about half-past five
o'clock on the evening in question he was fishing at the
lower part of Chiswick-evot, when he saw deceased in
the water. Witness went to his assistance, took him
into his own boat, and rowed him to the Ship, near the
Hammersmith Water-works. Deceased was very much
intoxicated. He told witness that he had already been
in the water three times, and that the first time he lost
his coat and the second time his hat. The deceased said
he would sooner have lost his life than his coat. Wit-
ness advised deceased to remain on shore, and refused
to shove his boat off for him, as he considered he would
most likely lose his life if he persisted in going in her
again.
Mr. Bullen observed that a bargeman in the employ
of Mr. Skeel had witnessed the fatal accident, and he
said deceased rolled out of the boat.

The CORONER said if that was the case he would ad-
journ the inquiry, for it was highly important they should
have direct evidence as to the manner in which deceased
met his death.

The inquiry was then adjourned, after lasting more
,han four hours.

FIRE AT CLERKENWELL.-011 Saturday evening,
between six and seven o'clock, a fire broke out near
Back-hill, Clerkenwell, in a long range of premises oc-
cupied conjointly by Mr. W. Powell, a large cab proprietor,
and Mr. Waite, a seed merchant. The fire originated in
a part of the building used as the provender stores, and
the place being filled with articles of the most inflam-
mable nature, the progress of the flames was unusually
rapid. Much difficulty was experienced in getting the
horses out in time to save them from destruction ; none,
however, were injured. The floor above the stores con-
tained several thousand pounds' worth of seeds ; the
whole of this valuable property was destroyed in a very
short time. Several engines were quickly on the spot.
The fire was got under in a short space of time, but the
amount of damage done is very considerable.
ACCIDENT AT DRURT-LANE TIIEATRE.—On
Saturday evening., shortly before seven o'clock, an acci-
dent of an appalling nature occurred in the pit passage
of the above theatre, immediately contiguous to "Yin -goadr:

case considered, that no time was lost in conveying the
youthful sufferer to King's College Hospital, Portugal-
street, where he now lies in a hopeless condition.
Dr. Wordswprth, head master and lecturer of Har-
row School has been appointed to the stall in Westmin-

S FROM OTAHEITE.
PA ',MOUT V, SATURDAY EVENING.—Her Majesty's
slip Hazard, Commander Bell, left San Blas,• on
January 10, for Oahu, the capital of the Sanclvadia,
Islands, conveying Consul-GeneralV,Miller hi 3;
newly-appointed residence,. and arrived thei4llll;4lil
4th, where Rear-Admiral Thomas, in the Dublin,
was met with, and people employed in getting up her
anchor, the chain of which had been carried away.
The Hazard was ordered, and sailed immediately
thence to Otaheite to deliver dispatches ; and the
Dublin, to sail next day, was reported to have passed
through the Society group for Valparaiso on the Ist
of April, towards Valparaiso.
The hazard arrived off the reef at Papeeti May
7th, when a boat was ordered on shore with four
hands, Dr. Veech and Lieut. Rose in command and
in charge of the dispatches. This officer had landed
at Papeeti, and delivered the dispatches to Lieut.
hunt of the Basilisk, who had assumed the official
duties of British Consul, and after remaining ornainare
a quarter of an hour, and when about 100 yards
from the pier, on returning to the Ilaz-ual,
cruising off and on, outside the reef, the brat
was hailed from an armed barge belong'ng
to the French frigate La Charte, and was -
ordered by the officer to the "Maison" (the house of
the Admiral), or to the frigate, to either of which he
pointed; but Lieutenant Rose turned his boat round,
and proceeded for the pier, in order to get vn ex-
planation from Lieutenant Hunt as to what was re-
quired. On arriving alongside the wharf, Lieut.
Rose said he would neither proceed to the " Maison"
nor to the frigate, or anywhere else at the bidding of
French authority. He was then ordered to get out
of his boat into the barge, which he did, at the same
moment he directed the British man-of-war ensign
and pendant to be hauled down, and unbuckling his
sword delivered it to the officer ; the barge then pro-
ceeded towards the French frigate La Charte, towing
the gig of the Hazard. On getting alongside, Lieut.
Rose was directed to go on board; his crew remain-
ing in their boat. A long consultation ensued, and
after being on board the frigate two hours and a half,
the sword was delivered up to Lieutenant Rose,
and he was told that he might go on board his own
vessel. Ile demanded an explanation and an apology,
but was replied to that there was " no apology."
" No communication was allowed with the shore."
And the second officer of the frigate said that he
had been treated in a similar manner by the British
some years ago when on the Gibraltar station.
Lieutenant Rose was politely dealt with on board
La Charte.
On arriving on board the Hazard, Lieutenant Rose
reported to Commander Bell the conduct of the
French towards him, whe❑ it was deemed most ad-
visable to pursue their voyage for Sydney, on which
station the Hazard was destined, rather than to make
for Valparaiso to fall in with the British Admiral.
The French ship-of- war Uranie, 60 guns; La Charte,
frigate; another frigate; and the Phaeton steamer
were there; and another French frigate remaining at
the peninsula, where the first battle was fought with
the Otaheitians. The Queen and her husband were on
board the Basilisk. About ICO Europeans had en-
listed under the Otaheitian banner, among whom are
some runaway gunners' mates.
The Hazard, on her voyage towards Sydney,
touched at Navigator's Island, for wood anti water,
and whilst she remained there an assemblage of the
chiefs, thirty in number, was held at Tootooileh, over
which the King presided. The result of the busi-
ness of the day was the adoption of a petition to her
Britannic Majesty, to afford them and their people
protection ; and to give them in proof of her Royal
favour, a flag emblematic of annexation to England.
The petition is said to be extremely well and appro-
priately got up. The natives were sadly afraid of
a visit from the French ; but they had resolved to die
rather than to allow them to occupy their native soil.
The Hazard arrived at Sydney on May 23d. -
The vessel having on board the French Roman
Catholic Bishop, with several nuns and others, which
sailed from Brest some months ago, bound to the
Sandwich Islands, had not arrived. It was currently
reported in the South Seas that she had foundered off
Cape Horn.
The brig Arachne, Captain Pearse, which furnished
the above information, sailed from Sydney on June 8,
and landed her mails and dispatches at Falmouth ;
also Lieutenant Ewe, R.N., who is sent to England
by his commander to report on the above transaction.
The Arachne also furnished a mail from Adelaide,
taken up to Sydney by the Hawke; and an Aber from
Wellington, New Zealand, conveyed to Sydney by
the Calypso.
A mail has also been landed, ex the brig Vernon,
Webster, from Madeira, which vessel reported that
her Majesty's packet Swift bad arrived at Madeira,
on her outward voyage fi'onr hence towards Brazil.
The West India steam-ship, homeward-bound,
passed by here to-day, at ten A.M.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.
This bijou of a theatre opened for the winter season
on Saturday. Mr. Maddox has taken advantage of
the recess to have the interior renovated, re-painted,
and fitted up in a most costly style of splendour and
magnificence, so that the Princess's still retains its
character as the most elegant of metropolitan theatres.
Opera and ballet, for the production of which this
theatre has acquired such celebrity, will still continue
to he a prominent feature ; but the engagement of
Wallach would seem to indicate art intention on the
part of the management to devote some attention to
comedy and the drama. The corps operative is full
and complete. Signor Schirra, continues to wield the
baton of conductor ; Mr. Eames is the leader, and the
choruses are under the efficient superintendence of
Mr. IV. L. Phillipps. Allen is still the prime Lenore,
Leffler is prime basso, and Mademoiselle Nau,
from the Academie Royal de Musiq ue, is
dieinia donna. This lady made her debut last even-
ing in the opera of Lucia di Lammermoor, and never
have we witnessed a more successful debut than that
of Mademoiselle Nau. Her person is fine and com-
manding, and her features well formed and expressive.
ler voice is high soprano of the Persiani character;
it has great power, and is cultivated to the highest
pitch of excellence. Her opening cavatina, " Ancor
non giunse," was a perfect triumph of art, and at
once stamped her as the prima donna absoluta. Ex-
pression, power of voice, taste, cultivation, musical
knowledge and immense power of execution, all these
were exhibited by Mademoiselle Nau. It was quite
equal to Persiani in her beat days. The " Perche non
ho" was given with sound judgment and taste, and
exhibited the same marvellous powers of execution.
The audience were in raptures, and the applause was
most enthusiastic. Then followed the beautiful duct
with Edgar, which concludes the first act, in w hich
she was admirably supported by Allen; and the drop-
scene fell amidst the loudest calls for Mademoiselle Neu,
who was led forward, and received with a perfect
shout of triumph. Very exquisitely, too, did she give
the opening scena of the second act, " Il palla funesta
oviendo," with Enrico, although we could have wished
that she had been more sufficiently supported by
Leffler, who was occasionally hoarse, and who
seemed by no means at home in the part of Enrico.
The concluding scena was also magnificently given,
both as a musical and a histrionic effort ; it was of
the very highest order. The powers of execution
she exhibited were marvellous. Her
.fieriture was
brilliant in the extreme, but introduced with the
most exquisite taste. The audience were in extacies,
and the repetition of the concluding portion of the
scans was loudly called for. The success of Mademoi-
selle Nau was complete; and Mr. Maddox, to whom
we are indebted for having introduced to the English
musical public Madame Eugenia Garcia and Madame
Anna Thillon, has added greatly to the obligations
we are under to him by introducing to us Madame
Nau, perhaps the most accomplished artiste who has
yet appeared upon the boards of the Princess's. She
was called for at the fall of the curtain, and received
with all the honours; bouquets were showered upon
her, and in fact, never was triumph more complete.
The opera was followed by a new ballet divertissement,
entitled the Slave Market, which introduced to us
Mademoiselle Caroline Rousset and Monsieur J.
Rousset, from the Theatre Royal, Turin. Mademoi-
selle Rousset, is an exceedingly pretty French girl,
with fine sparkling expressive black eyes. Shet isesca

PROPERTY IN SIIAREs.—On Friday, at the Auction
Mart, Mr. Shuttleworth put up for sale by auction one
hundred shares in the Thames Tunnel, upon which 501.
each had been paid, amounting to 5,000/. The attend-
ance of capitalists was rather numerous, in consequence
of the same auctioneer having several other lots of valu-
able property to dispose of ; but they appeared to " re-
