TON DON 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 Arnsinc,
and others, in which it is asserted—that by the Direct Northern
Line the distance f.om London to York will be twenty miles less
than by the line proposed by this Comi any—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 too miles and a half. Sir John Rennie's, by his
own account being 180 miles in length—that of the London anti
York being in reality upon the line, as finally laid down, 185}
miles.

BINGLEY, SATURDAY.—In pursuance of public notice.
given a few days ago, the occupiers, friends, and sup-
porters of field-garden allotments, together with the
members of the Bingley Cricket Club, dined together
yesterday evening, in the Odd Fellows Hall, Bingley.
About twelve months ago Mr. Ferrand introduced the
allotment system into this parish. A field of about 15
acres in extent., the property of Mrs. Walker Ferrand,
aunt of Mr. W. B. Ferrand, M.P., was given by that
lady for the purpose of ascertaining how far the allot-
ment system would prove serviceable to the poorer inha-
bitants of the parish, on condition that she continued to
receive the accustomed rent. These 15 acres were
divided into 59 allotments, the rent of each being 11s.,
which were appropriated to 59 persons, chiefly opera-
tives engaged in the worsted mills in Bingley and the
neighbourhood. The rent and various taxes levied on
the 15 acres amount to about 401, and cropping them to
about 601., making the sum total expended lOW., whilst
the crop produced amount in value, at a moderate
calculation, to between 4001 and 500/. During the
whole of the present summer and autumn these fifty-nine
men and their families have been provided with good
vegetables, many of whom are keeping two pigs, whilst
there still remains growing on nearly every allotment a
good winter crop of potatoes. The cultivation of these
field gardens has given hundreds rational employment
for their leisure hours, which would otherwise have been
passed in idleness or dissipation : and their wives and
families have gladly assisted in the cultivation, or en-
joyed the beautiful scenery by which the allotment
ground is everywhere surrounded.
The day being exceedingly fine, numbers of persons
came to Bingley from the surrounding townships, to
see for themselves the advantages of the allotment sys-
tem, as well as to partake of the general joy which
prevailed on every hand. Shortly after eleven in the
morning, Airs. Walker Ferrand, Mrs. Disraeli, and a
party of ladies, accompanied by Lord John Manners,
Mr. Disraeli, and Mr. W. B. Ferrand, proceeded to the
cricket-ground, which is about a mile from Bingley, on
the road to Bradford, where the members of the cricket
club and their friends were enjoying themselves. The
scene was gratifying in the highest possible degree.
Lord John Manners, in the most good humoured and
unaffected manner, joined in a game of cricket.
" See thee," said a hale-looking oldYorkshireman
who stood near the writer, " I declare if 't great man
hasn't doff'd his coat, and baron to bat our Jem's ball.
Well, to be sure, who could 'a thought it ?"
The occupiers of the garden allotments and their
friends, headed by a band of music, arrived on the ground
about noon, and after remaining there a few hours, re-
turned in procession to the Odd Fellows Hall, Bingley,
to dine together. The room, which is the largest in the
town, could not accommodate all who applied for admis-
sion, and many persons who had come from a distance
were, in consequence, sorely disappointed.
The char was taken by W. Busfield Ferrand, Esq.,
M.P., who was supported on his right by Lord John
Manners, ALP., the Hon. and Rev. Philip Savile, Robert
Milligan, Esq., Cowling Ackroyd, Esq., the Rev. J.
Beaumont, Incumbent of St. Mary's, Leeds ; and on his
left sat B. D'lsraeli,Esq , M.P., F. Bulmer, Esq., Dr.
Thomas Smith, Dr. M"rurk, &c.

Whether this difference of five and a half miles can bo 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, net one of which is approached by 84 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 Rest-
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 their 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, 111. 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 fir
John Rennie had appeared : and the Committee of Direction die.
tinctly affirm that the course over the first seventy miles front
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.

This undertaking, comprising a distance of sixty miles in length,
has been entered upon as a further continuation of the lines already
made and contemplated on thesouthern coast. But previous to
any application to the public for support, the projectors called a
public meeting, which was, in the month of May last, held at
Southampton, and consisted of the principal nobility, gentry, and
landholders of the county of Dorset and the southwestern part of
the county of Hants. At this meeting a Committee of noblemen
and gentlemen of the greatest influence in both counties was no.
minated to inquire into the practicability of the undertaking, and
they appointed Captain W. S. Moorsom, civil engineer, to survey
the country between Southampton and Dorchester, to adopt the
best line, and to make an estimate of its cost ; and, under the powers
given hies, he appointed Mr. Pare to ascertain what traffic was
likely to support the line, if made.
At a subsequent meeting, held at Dorchester on the 19th July
last (which was one of the most numerous and influential meetings
ever held in the county of Dorset), the Committee appointed at
the former meeting made a report, fl'om which the following is an
extract

All comment upon this course would, in the opinion of the Cont.
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.
tic as a guarantee against any such conduct as is implied by the as.
sertions of Sir John Rennie and Co.

" Your Committee report, that on this day (the 18th July) Cap.
tain Moorsom and Mr. Pare (who had been employed by Captain
Moorsom under the powers given him by us, in the last clause of
our instructions, for the purpose of accurately examining into the
traffic upon the proposed line), attended and presented their re.
ports. These reports have undergone a thorough examination by
us, and your Committee feel justified in laying them before you,
and reporting that they are perfectly accurate, and such as will
warrant your acting upon them.
" Your Committee having duly weighed the statements made to
them by Captain Moorsom and Mr. Pare, consider themselves jus-
tified in reporting to you that there are unusual facilities for con-
structing a railway from Southampton to Dorchester, by way of
Redbridge, Brockenhurst, Burley, Ringwood, Wimborne, Ham.
worthy, and Wareham; most convenient for the public in general,
as well as for the towns in its locality, and that the same can be
made for the sum of 450,0001., including all charges.
" We further report that the traffic upon the line is sufficient to
leave a clear net profit of not less than 6p. per cent. during the
first five years, which Mr. Pare has no doubt will be increased
subsequently.

By order of the Committee of Direction,
J. R. MO WATT, Secretary.
Offices, 7, Lothbury, London, October 8, 1844.

TABLE OF DISTANCES.

The cloth having been removed,
The CHAIRMAN proposed " the Queen—may she long
reign over a happy, loyal, prosperous, and contented
people;" which was drank with very great applause; as
was the health of the Queen Dowager, Prince Albert,
and the rest of the Royal Family.
The CHAIRMAN, in calling upon the Hon. and Rev.
Philip Savile to propose a toast, said that as soon as it
was known that the occupiers of the allotments and
members of the cricket club intended to dine together to
celebrate the success to both, the Hon. and Rev. Gen-
tleman he was about to call upon had expressed his in-
tention to be present.—(Cheers.) His ancestors for gene-
rations past had been honourably connected with York-
shire, and ho trusted the name of Savile might long con-
tinue to be respected.--(Cheers.)
The Hon. and Rev. PHILIP SAVILE, in proposing the
health of the occupiers of the allotments, the members of
the cricket club, and that of their families, said no one
in that assembly could be more proud of the name of
Yorkshireman than he was.—Cheers.) His object in
attending their meeting was to take a leaf out of their
book.—(Cheers.) He intended to get up allotment
grounds in Methley, and was anxious to see what had
been done in Bingley.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN called upon one of the allotment
tenants to respond to the toast.
EDWARD SMITH said the allotment system had been
one of the best thing's fur the inhabitants of Bingley
that ever happened. Before it was commenced, they had
to fetch their vegetables a distance of from twenty to
thirty mi:es; and it was very difficult to get them fresh,
as the time consumed in their carriage was very long.
During the present summer, the occupiers, and not only
them, but the whole parish, had the pleasure of having
fresh vegetables daily—(Cheers)--and as they want
through the town carrying the produce of their allot-
ments, people cried out, " Why, you're loaded like bees
again."—(Cheers and laughter.) He had been married
twenty-six years, and never till last summer had fruit
earlier than October; and before the allotment system
was commenced, although born and bred i❑ Yorkshire,
he had never seen a potatoe either cut or set. He was
an operative, and never had the chance of following any
agricultural operations, but now he understood a good
deal about them. When trade was good they were sup-
plied with wholesome vegetables; and if it slackened, as
he thought it was doing, they had enough laid by to keep
them and their families till spring.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN called upon the Rev. J. Beaumont to
propose The members of the Bingley Cricket Club."
They had that day seen a Noble Lord present, the son
of a Duke throw off his coat and enjoy the old English
game of cricket, in company with the humble and in-
dustrious operatives of Bingley.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN, in feeling and appropriate terms,
called upon Mr. Outerside to propose " The health of
Mrs. Walker Ferrand," which was received with very
great cheering—that lady rising and repeatedly acknow-
ledging the warm and prolonged reception the mention
of her name met with.

" Your Committee therefore confidently recommended the
immediate formation of a Company for carrying out an object so
eminently desirable for the county of Dorset and south.western
part of the county of Hants.
" The friendly assistance and expressions of good-will which
Captain Moorsom's surveyors have received In the course of taking
up the line, give evidence that a general support may be relied on,
as soon as the main features of the undertaking come to be fully
understood.

" It is Captain Moorsom's opinion that the line may be opened
in twelve months from the time when the possession of the land
shall have been obtained."

It was then unanimously resolved by the meeting that this Com-
pany should be formed with a capital of 450,000/., in shares of
50/. each.

Since the above report of the Committee was made a fresh esti-
mate of the traffic has been rendered necessary by the additional
trade which will flow to it out of the lines projected by the Great
Western Railway, from Corsham and Taunton to Yeovil, and
thence to Dorchester and Weymouth, with a branch to Bridport.
These calculations have justified the Provisional Committee in
order to provide bridges and land for a double line, in increasing
the capital to 500,000!., upon which Mr. Pare estimate] a net
return of not less than seven per cent.
The advantages of coast lines for Government purposes and for
the defence of the country, are too obvious to require comment,
and the evident inclination of Parliament shown in the past session,
to promote a continuous line of railway along the coast, coupled
with the great local support already shown, and the careful exa-
mination into the estimate of expense and traffic prior to the forma-
tion of a Company, give to this line the greatest claim to the sup-
port of the public, as tending to insure both its stability and success.
AR arrangement, subject to the sanction of the Board of Trade,
has beep made for leasing this line to the Great Western Company,
that Company guaranteeing Si per cent. upon the capital, and
agreeing to divide the net profits equally with the Shareholders in
this Company.

Arrangements are also in a state of great forwardness with emi-
nent contractors for the performance of the entire works, at such a
sum as to render certain the completion of the undertaking within
the amount and time specified.
It is intended to apply to Parliament for an Act in the next ses-
sion, and the usual clause limiting the liability of Shareholders to
the amount of their subscription will be inserted.

Applications for shares may be made in the subjoined form to
Messrs. W. 0. and W. Hunt, solicitors, 10, Whitehall; to Messrs.
Laurence, Cazenove, and Co., Auction Mart, London ; to Messrs.
Edward and Charles Castleman, solicitors, Ringwood ; and to
Gilbert Stephens, Esq., 13, Northumberland street, Charing cross,
London ; Messrs. Henning and Andrews, Weymouth ; Messrs.
Stone and Symonds, Dorchester; Thomas Phippard, Esq., Ware-
ham ; Martjti K. Welch, Esq., Poole; William Royle, Esq. ; Ly.
mington ; and Messrs. Page and Moody, Southampton. Prosper.
tunes may be had of any of the above gentlemen, and also of Messrs.
Rowe, Kentish, and Co., 16, Change-alley, London.
N.B. No application for shares will be received after the 28th
day of October.

"The health of the lord of the manor, George Lane
Fox, Esq.," was next proposed, and drank with cheers.
The CHAIRMAN then called upon an operative to pro-
pose "Success to Agriculture and Commerce," and then
introduced

Lord JOHN MANNERS, M.P., who was very cordially
received. He observed they had met to congratulate
ono another on the success of the allotment system. It
had been his good fortune to be a member of the Com-
mittee of the House of Commons on that subject,
and he could safely congratulate the members of
the Bingley society OR the great good, he had no hesi-
tation in saying, they would derive from it.—(Cheers.)
The time was not far distant when the great truth would
be felt and acted upon, namely, that the peasant who
had himself a stake in the hedge was a better member
of society than he who merely worked for another.—
(Loud cheers.) The speaker then referred to the advan-
tages arising from the employment of spade labour in the
cultivation of waste land ; and which he strongly recom-
mended should be tried on the small allotment plan. It
was the intention of his father :to try what an acre of
waste land, dug by the spade, would pruduce ; and he
(Lord John Manners), had no doubt the result would
prove favourable ; indeed, he anticipated great good
from the spread of such societies by the increased
production of the soil of England. In allusion to the
cricket club, his Lordship, after apologising in a hu-
mourous manner for his indifferent play, said the
time was when Kings of England thought their time
well employed in giving encouragement to the manly
sports and athletic games of their people. Such clubs
were especially advantageous in bringing various classes
of society together, and he wished the example set that
forenoon might be followed. In conclusion, he trusted
they would persevere, and they would have the satisfac-
tion of thinking that the parish of Bingley was not the
last, but the foremost, to set a good example, and that
such institutions as they had established would be found
to work for the good of all, and for their children's chil.
dren ; and they might reasonably anticipate the time
when they would all be blended together by one common
interest, and thus—

" Hasten the day
When the despot and anarch shall pass away;
When the dawn shall break, and man awake,
To the light of a fairer day."
—(Loud cheers.)
ROBERT MILLIGAN, Esq., briefly responded to that
part of the toast which referred to commerce.
Mr. TIPPING proposed the health of their worthy
Chairman.

The CHAIRMAN returned thanks in an eloquent speech,
which was repeatedlycheered. lie then introduced, to use
his own words, " the talented author of ' Coningsby,'
Mr. D'lsraeli, M.P. for Shrewsbury ; and may the
honest men of Shrewsbury, who are not the tools of a
faction, ever remember the brightest ornament that ever
represented their citt."
Mr. D'lsaA.Em rose amidst much cheering.
