DECISION OF THE BOARD OF
TRADE ON THE YORK LINES.

The Board of Trade have at last decided this most impor-
tant question, and, we feel bound to say, in a manner which
has given very general satisfaction. Instead of permitting
either party to embark in what, it must be admitted, is a
very hazardous and enormously expensive undertaking—
making a new and independent line out of London to Peter-
borough—the decision of the Board of Trade is, that the ex-
isting line from London to Cambridge shall (when improved
by the proposed new station at Farringdon-street), be used
as the approach to London, the line being continued from
Cambridge to Lincoln, and from Lincoln to York, by the
united companies of the Cambridge and Lincoln and the
Direct Northern.
In this way a new line to York is secured, having gra-
dients of a very superior quality, supplying Lincolnshire with
railway acommodation, and favourable for the thorough
traffic, by the great saving of distance over the existing route
to Derby. The Direct Northern Company have, with great
good sense and discretion, announced their intention of ac-
quiescing in this decision ; and as a powerful alliance, offen-
sive and defensive, we have reason to believe has been formed
between them, the Cambridge and Lincoln and Eastern Coun-
ties, there cannot he a question that this well-conceived com-
bination of the line will be sanctioned by Parliament, and
executed.
The immense saving of capital effected by this arrange-
ment, the vastly superior entrance into London by the Far-
ringdon•street station, and the decidedly superior arrange-
ments of the Direct Northern as to their station at York and
mode of junction with the Northern Railway, combined with
the unequalled gradient 3 of the whole line, are reasons that
will fully justify this decision of the Board of Trade; and
however holders of London and York shares at 5 premium
may grumble and growl, and however much those who went
about saying " we are sure of the Board of Trade report in
our favour," may now exclaim against that tribunal—we
feel no manner of doubt that Parliament will support their
decision.
One uniform integral line will be established at the
cheapest cost—uniform rates at the' lowest scale ; and,
besides the passenger traffic, coals, cattle (dead and alive 4,
agricultural produce, fish, &c., will be brought into the very
centre of London; and collaterally with this, the property
invested in the Eastern Counties scheme will be protected and
improved. The present station at Shoreditch is to be re-
placed by one at Farringdon-street, the construction of
which will be guaranteed by three powerful companies—the
Eastern Counties, the Cambridge and Lincoln, and Direct
Northern—with the sanction and approval of the Board of
Trade in favour of that arrangement.
It will be in vain for the now exploded soap bubble, the
London and York, a Napoleon Hudson (who is now fighting
his last campaign), successfully to resist this combination.
They will lose the aid of the London and Birmingham Com-
pany, who have (it is believed) expressed their determination
to support the Board of Trade, and we suspect that the
Manchester and Leeds party will be detached from the Lon-
don and Yorkers. The granting of their Wakefield, Ponte-
fract, and Goole line has this tendency, and there seems no
reason why they should sink themselves with the foundering
vessel of the London and York.—iltlas.

CLEANSING THE STREETS.--We are glad to observe
that, amongst the many charities of the metropolis one
has been started for giving work to the able-bodied poor in
cleansing the streets. We do not think there is any charit-
able institution in the City which ought to be better sup-
ported. The able-bodied poor at this season are very numer-
ous, the streets much require to be cleansed, and certainly
nothing would so much conduce to the health of the metro-
polis generally as the active employment in this way of those
who are daily seeking for employment.
THE SPITALFIELDS THEWEAVERS. PROFEC •
TioN OF LABOUR.—On Friday night, at seven o'clock, a
numerous meeting of the broad silk hand-loom weavers of
Spitalfields and its vicinity was held at the La Patentes
Chapel, Browne lane, Spitalfields, for the purpose of taking
measures to unite with the weavers throughout the country,
in order to obtain a legislative enactment for the protection
of labour. Delegates attended from the weavers of Carlisle,
Macclesfield, Middleton, Wigan, Leigh, &c. Mr. Tanner
having been called to the chair, after much discussion, it
was resolved that the Spitalfields weavers should unite with
the weavers throughout the United Kingdom, and form a
firm and compact union, of which London shall be the centre.
