ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE.

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 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 tno 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 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, 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,"lbefore 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, ana 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 mis-statements
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 I.ondon 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.

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 1,000/. 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, 1833, to 1,2751.,
and so on as regards other Polities.
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.

AGREAT SAVING TO TEA-DRINKERS.
It is a most astonishing fact that the celebrated PIQUA
PLANT is now sold at 3s. 6d. per lb., and is three times the
strength of Tea, and is also equal in flavour, more delicate in taste,
infinitely more healthy, as is proved by physicians and chemists of
high standing, as Dr. Bryant, &c., also by persons in great num.
bers 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 publis
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, and 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, See.
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 most 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.

Sir,—The beverage sold by you, under the name of Piqua Plant, I
have drank for some time; it was first recommended to my notice as a
salutary beverage by a friend who is a great dyspeptic, and I have
since recommended it to severa► patients suffering from Chronic
affections of the Digestive Organs, Heart, and Lungs, with manifest
advantage. And am, Sir, yours, ✓ic.,
July 1,1843. JOHN BRYANT, M.D., 50, Edgware-road,
To Mr. W. Evans.

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 use 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 Si. 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. I, Savoy-street, Strand, London, in
Quarter.pound tinfoil packages, at 38. 6d. per lb.
None is genuine unless each package bears the signature of
WM. EVANS.

•g We regard the work before us, • The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.
We must, however, confess that a perusal et this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but 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 Argus.
" The Authors of The Silent Friend' seem to be 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 entering the marriage state, cannot
fall to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
IMPORTANT LETTER FROM MR. O'CONNELL.
DUBLIN, OCT. 14.—The usual weekly meeting of the
Association was held this day in the Conciliation Hall.
On the motion of Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL the chair
was taken by J. P. Somers, Esq., M.P.
The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the meeting.
Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL handed in a few sums ,of
money, and then proceeded to read the following very
important letter from Mr. O'Connell :
" TO THE ACTING SECRETARY OF THE LOYAL NATIONAL

ought not to retain any jealousy or apprehension. This
is our solemn, unequivocal, and most conscientious con-
viction and assertion, and we are entitled to be believed.
But we will not place the cause of conciliation upon
mere assertion ; we appeal to facts to prove that confi-
dence should be reposed in the Catholic repealers by
Protestants of all classes.
"The YinsT proof is adduced ,from Protestant histo-
torians. It is the historic fact, that the Irish Catholics
were, since the Reformation, three times in possession of
political power—in fact of the government of the coun-
try—yet they never passed one single penal law, nor
persecuted one single Protestant. I have one thousand
times challenged the libellers of the Irish Catholics to
give me the name of any one Protestant who was perse-
cuted by the Catholics while in power—no such Pro-
testant has ever been named, simply because none such
ever existed.
"The SECOND proof arises from the language of the
Catholics during the many years of our struggle for
emancipation. We had tens of thousands of meetings,
in all of which our claims were placed upon the prin-
ciple that conscience should be free. Free for others
as well as for us. And in not one of these meetings,
although guilty of many an indiscretion, yet not one
single word of a bigoted or exclusive nature was
uttered, save upon one occasion, when a phrase, consi-
dered to be: of a bigoted nature having been used, that
phrase was emphatically condemned by the all but una-
nimous vote of two public meetings ; there was, indeed,
but the single negative of the utterer of the phrase him-
self—HE STOOD ALONE.
"The THIRD proof arises from the conduct—that is,
the acts of the Catholic people, during the agitation for
' emancipation. We had our tens and our twenties of
thousands of meetings. We had our Catholic boards,
and Catholic committees, and, finally our great Catholic
Association. But there was no riot, no violence, no tumult.
No Protestant was injured in person or property by the
Catholics in their struggle for emancipation. No Catholic
associator was ever aocused of any crime, committed in
the struggle for relief, with the exception of myself ; and
then the charge of sedition was so frivolous, that the bill
of indictment against me was ignored by a grand jury—
the foreman and two-thirds of whom were Protestants,
and several of them Orangemen. There was not one
single assault committed in the agitation for emancipa-
tion. I, one of the most prominent among the agitators,
and, probably—may I venture to say it—one of the most
popular, repeatedly declared, that I would abandon the
pursuit of emancipation if it were stained with one single
drop of human blood. And, blessed be Heaven ! no such
stain taints that cause.
" The FOURTH proof is derived from this, that my
principle has been throughout, and is, that' every change
of political institutions should be effected by exclusively
moral and peaceable means;' and 'that no amelioration,
however in its nature valuable, in the laws or government,
should be purchased by any one crime or sin of ever so small
a degree—and, above all, is not worth the purchase by the
loss of one single life.'
" This doctrine I have preached and practised. By the
assertion and practice of it the Irish people carried the
emancipation ; and I, who am the original apostle of this
doctrine of peace, possess, it is manifest, the unlimited
confidence of the Irish people. Oh, how idle must be the
jealousies and fears of any of our Protestant fellow-coun-
trymen !
"My FIFTH proof is to be found in the conduct
of the Catholics after emancipation. There was no
insolence of triumph—no insult to our former oppo-
nents. The usual demonstrations of public joy
were forborne. There wero no bonfires—no illu-
' minations—no exhibitions of public delight, lest they
should be deemed insulting to the defeated Orange
party. The active Catholic courted the good-will of the
Orangemen—we entwined the Orange round our Green
ribbon—we did all we could to conciliate. We combined
both colours, and we did all we could to combine both
populations. I, myself, for more than six years, courted
the Orangemen in every way in my power. I was
laughed at for my pains. Though no man likes to be
the object of ridicule, yet I bore it, and persevered in my
efforts to conciliate the Orangemen. They refused to be
conciliated, and yet they were suppressed by an Act of
Parliament, brought in by their own friends, the Tories
—an Act which we, the Catholics, did not call for, and
which many of us opposed.
" My SIXTH proof is also derived from ;the conduct of
the Catholics since emancipation with respect to the
parliamentary and municipal elections. In no instance,
at any parliamentary election, was a Catholic preferred
to a Liberal Protestant. In every instance of parliamen-
tary elections a Liberal Protestant has been preferred to
a Catholic. The same principle and practice have pre-
' vailed in our municipal elections. In every instance the
Liberal Protestants have been preferred to Catholics.
The office of Lord Mayor of Dublin has been filled by
three gentlemen since the Municipal Reform Bill. The
first was a Catholic—the second a Protestant. The third
is a Catholic ; but his successor, the Lord Mayor Elect,
is a Protestant. This evidence of a total absence of a
bigoted feeling among the Catholics is the stronger in
Dublin, where the Catholics had been, for near forty
years
efromd to
the conduct of the Catholics that these idle jealousies and

aollnehosnineghlte. Clattihsoolioct,wthaes
fears arise ; but, unhappily, from some self-condemna-
tion on the part of several Protestants. It is in human
nature that some of them should be unable to believe,
even from the most distinct proofs, that others are more
liberal than they are themselves.
" The SEVENTH proof, that unlimited confidence may
be reposed in the Catholic people of Ireland, I draw natu-
rally and forcibly from the conduct of the people at the
monster meetings last year—meetings at which not only
no violence was committed, but not even one single acci-
dent occurred. At the lowest calculation, one million
of Irish assembled at Tara ; yet, not one single person
was pressed upon, or trodden upon, or hurt, or injured—
aye, even by accident ! Are not these a people fit to
share in the government of their native land ? Oh !
how idly are jealousies and fears entertained of such a
people.
" The EIGHTH proof is derived from the mighty tem-
perance movement. More than five millions, principally
Catholics, have taken the pledge. A very small per
tentage, indeed, have violated it—a per tentage so
minute as to be almost incapable of enumeration. Tem-
perance carries in its train to the house of the poor man
many and many a social virtue. Vice of every kind flies
before temperance. Amongst the temperance men the
religious feeling is easily predominant. The public-
houses aro deserted ; the altar-rails are thronged. Oh,
blessed be God ! the Irish people are fit to be a nation.
Who so fit as they ?
"The NINTH proof, that the jealousies and fears of
Catholic ascendancy are Wounded and preposterous, is
grounded on the number and strength of the Protestants
themselves. If any attempt were made to establish a

Catholic ascendant-y, all the Protestants would naturally
and necessarily rally against such iniquitous proceeding.
They would be joined by all the liberal and enlightened
Catholics, and by all the just, generous, and humane
Catholics. They would be backed and supported by
Protestant England. Their enemies would have all the
weakness belonging to injustice. The Protestants would
hare on their aide the powerful moral force of being in
the right and suffering unjustly wrong. Ido firmly re-
peat it, that nothing in nature can be so absurd as for
the Protestants of Ireland to apprehend a Catholic as-

• •
cendancy.
" My TENTS proof of the idleness of any such tear is
the fact, that from the state of property in Ireland, a
very great number of the Members of the house of Com-
_

mons—must be, and probably a majority would be Pro-
testants. In the Irish House of Lords the Catholic Peers
are about five per cent, of the entire. How is it possible
to apprehend that any ascendancy law could pass such a
Parliament ?—and it is still more impossible that such
a law should receive the assent of the Protestant Mo-
narchof Great Britain and Ireland.

" My next proof is deduced from the conduct of the
Repeal Association and its agitators on the triumphant
event of the reversal of the judgment against leading
members of the Association. There never was a prose-
cution more vexatiously conducted. The usual courtesy
—a slight one in itself—of allowing us to appear by at-
torney, was refused. We were compelled to be in readi-
ness to appear in Court every passing hour. I will not
dwell upon the one-sidedness of the charge of the Chief
Justice, whose nephew has got an excellent place in the
Castle, and whose son-in-law has got that excellent
thing, an Irish bishopric, from the prosecuting Govern-
ment ; neither shall I dwell on the now• for-ever-admitted

on the face of the record fraudulent management of the
jury list—nor shall I dilate upon the unjust imprison
ment which we have sustained for no less than three
months ; an imprisonment for which, as the record now
demonstrates, there is no kind of justification or pallia-
tion ; an imprisonment which the Court itself offered to
suspend if the A ttorney -General, that is, the Irish Go-
vernment, would consent. I pass over, also, without com-
ment, what Lord Cloncurry has called the ' projected mas-
sacre at Clontarf.' I pass these by for the present as mate-
rials, I trust, for Parliamentary inquiry and impeachment.
But I avail myself of them for the single purpose of
showing that never were men so provoked, so un-
justly stimulated to irritation and revenge, so ex-
cited to break out into an exuberance of revengeful joy ;
never was there a set of men more entitled to all the vio-
lence of triumph at the ultimate reversal of the judgment;
yet, Protestant non-repealers, we appeal to you whether
passion was not suppressed, irritation and excitement
