OND ON 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 Juhn 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 Landon to York, instead of being twenty miles,
is ant more than two miles and a half. Sir John Rennie's, by hls
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.

Mr. Fred. Thomas Elgie,
The Line is proposed to branch out of the Grand Junction Rail.
way near to Wolverhampton, and to have a station within a quarter
of a mile from the centre of that town. From thense it will pass
ever a densely populated mining and manufacturing district in the
immediate vicinity of extensive iron, nails, iron hardware, glass,
fire-brick, and numerous other manufactories, through the popu-
lous towns of Bilston, Tipton, and Dudley, to Stourbridge, with a
Branch Line between the two last-named places to Kingswinford,
a neighbourhood abounding in mines and manufactures; and which
towns and district, containing together a population of upwards of
200,009, are now (with the exception of Wolverhampton) deprived
of the advantages arising from railway communication. From
Stourbridge the Line will proceed to Kidderminster, which, with
the neighbouring towns of Bewdley and Stourport, contains a po-
pulation of about 28,000. The great carpet manufactories of Kid-
derminster are too well known to need comment, and the principal
portion of their productions is sent to London for sale. From Kid-
derminster the Line will proceed to Droitwich, where there are
large manufactories of salt.
Between Kidderminster and Droitwich a Branch Line will be
made to Stoke Prior (joining there the Birmingham and Gloucester
Railway), where there are extensive salt, soap, and chemical
manufactories.
The works at Droitwich and Stoke already consume not less
than 100,000 tons of coal per annum, and if brought into imme-
diate connection with the extensive coal-field through which this
Railway will pass, the consumption will no doubt be materia'ly in-
creased. From Droitwich the Line will proceed to the City of
Worcester (where there will be a Branch, about one mile, to the
Severn, for the purpose of communicating with that river for
goods). This City contains a population of 27,000, and is an Im-
portant market for agricultural produce, hops, fruit, cider, &e., as
well as the principal seat of the glove and porcelain manufactures
in the kingdom. It is intended that the Line shall cross the Birm-
ingham and Gloucester Railway about four miles from Worcester,
between that city and Pershore, so as to afford a direct Railway
communication with Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bath, Bristol, and
the West of England.
From Worcester, to Pershore, Evesham, Chipping Campden,
Moreton-in-the-Marsh, and from thence, by the valley of Even-
lode, to Oxford, the district is principally agricultural. A com-
munication with the Stratford and Moreton Railway will be made
at the latter place; and in reference to the advantages of this por.
tion of the Line it will perhaps suffice to make the following ex-
tract from the Report of Lieut.-Colonel Sir Frederick Smith, the
late Inspector-General of Railways, who, with Professor Barlow,
was employed by her Majesty's Government in 1840, to examine
and report on the best Line of communication between London and
Dublin :
" We cannot close this Report without observing that, Rom
the favourable nature of the country for a Railway from the Great
Western Railway at Dudcot, and from thence to Worcester, and
from the skilful manner in which It Is proposed to extend the Line
to the last.named city, we are of opinion that at no distant period
this project will be carried into effect. This Line would take from
Oxford nearly a central course between the Birmingham and Great
Western Lines, and afford railway accommodation to a district
which cannot derive much advantage from any other Line.
" This convenience would extend even to Worcester, notwith.
standing that the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway will pass
at no great distance, for the length of the journey from London
round by Birmingham will be at least 138 miles ; whereas, by the
projected Line through Oxford to Worcester, it would be only
118 miles—a distance of twenty miles in favour of the latter; and,
taking Into account the greater average speed of the Great Western
Railway, t h pre ran he no doubt that at least one hour in time
would be gained between London and Worcester, and the traveller
would save from ss. to fie. in his fare."
With reference to the portion of the Line from Wolverhampton
to the point of junction with the Birmingham and Gloucester
Railway below Worcester, it may also be observed that, in the
year 1837 a Bill was introduced into Parliament for making a
Railway between those places, called the Grand Connection:Rail.
way, the Line of which was greatly inferior to the one now se-
lected in respect of contiguity to the most important towns ; and
the following is an extract from the Report of the Committee of
the House of Commons, who sat upon that Bill:
" The present means of conveyance and communication have
been proved to be insufficient for agricultural, commercial, menu-
lecturing, and other purposes, as well between the proposed ter_
mini as between the towns on the Line of Railway and towns to
be connected with them by other Lines of Railway already sane.
tioned.
" The average amount of traffic by land is 61,119/. 4s. ; by
water, 45,3141. 2s. 3d.
" The number of passengers expected on the proposed Railway
is 168,440.
" The weight of goods expected on the Railway is 282,890
tons ; and the description of goods are the staple manufactures of
the towns which the Railway approaches, besides wool, grain, fruit,
hops, cider, Manchester goods, groceries, teazles, coal, and other
general merchandise and agricultural produce.
" The amount of income expected to arise from the conveyance
of passengers is 31,751/. 18s. 4d., and for goods, 74,680!. This
amount of income is independent of that which the promoters of
the Bill expect to derive from a new or increased traffic on the Line.
The largest revenue on goods is expected to be derived from the
carriage of the produce of the various staple manufactures of the
to wns which the Railway approaches, and a considerable income is
anticipated from the carriage of coal."
In addition to the Passenger traffic specified in the above Report
of the Committee of the House of Commons, this Line will af-
ford communication for Passengers from Ireland landing at Liver-
pool, and from the northwest with the south-east of England, by
means of the continuation of the Great 'Western Railway from
Reading to Basingstoke, where it will be connected with the South-
ampton and Portsmouth Railways, as well as its being a direct line
to London, via Oxford, from the important towns and districts
through which it passes.
The Passenger traffic alone ought to afford a satisfactory return
on the capital proposed to be invested; but when it is shown that
this Line will supply the existing want of a direct Railway con-
voyaoce to London and the south-east of England, for the produce
of ouch extensive Colleries, Iron Manufactories, anti other Works
as support a population of upwards of 200,000 persons in the South
Staffordshire and Worcestershire Mining districts, and will
also provide for conveying the produce of Kidderminster, Stoke
Works, Droitwich, and Worcester, and the agricultural districts
intersected by it, to their appropriate markets, it may confidently
be asserted that there is not a district of country in the kingdom
now unoccupied by railway which affords so great a prospect of re.
mnneration.
In addition to these claims on public attention and support, the
Committee of Management have concluded an arrangement with
the Directors of the Great Western Railway Company, conditional
on the necessary preliminaries for proceeding with the Bill in Par-
liament being completed, and subject to the sanction of their Pro-
prietary, by which a guarantee of Three and a Half per Cent. per
Annum on the estimated Capital, with half the surplus profits, will
be secured to the Shareholders in this undertaking. And in the
event of its being found necessary to expend a greater sum than
1,500,0001. in constructing the Line (but which amount is esti.
mated to be more than sufficient for the purpose), the Directors of
the Great Western Railway Company have agreed that interest on
such additional amount, provided the same does not exceed
250,0001., shall be paid previously to any division of profits being
made,

Persons assured according to the rates are allowed credit (with.
out security) for half the amount of the first seven Annual Pre.
miums, paying Interest thereon at the rate of Five per Cent. per
Annum, with the option of paying off the Principal at any time, or
having the amount deducted from the sum assured when the Policy
becomes a claim.

Policies may thus be effected at lower rates than are generally
required for the term of seven years only ; whilst the holders have
the same security for the payment of their claims, whenever death
may happen, as if they paid double the amount of premium, which
would be charged for assurances effected in the usual way.

These Candles burn without snuffing more brilliantly than th,
best Wax, and are cheaper ist proportion to the light given than the
commonest Tallow Candles. The Patentees respectfUlly beg all pur-
chasers to ask In the shops simply for " Price's Patent Candles," a,
many imitators have adopted the term "Composite." They are soh.
by most of the respectable Tallow Chandlers throughout the King-
dom, and are supplied wholesale to the trade by Edward nice
and Co., Belmont, Vauxhall, and by Palmer and Co., Sutton street,
Clerkenwell.

Annual Premium required for an Assurance of 1001., for the Whole

Term of Life.

Whether this diffbrence of five and a half mile* san 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 Ritchie,
Huntingdon, Peterborough, Grantham, Newark, Tuxford, Retferd,
Bawtry, and Doncaster, net 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 1838, 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 hint, but in February of the
present year the details of the London and York Railway, as cow,
with modifications adopted, were explained by him to Mr. Beckett
Denison, M.l' , 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 18th 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 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 hes 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.staternenta
here disposed of.
All comment upon this course would, in the opinion of the Cora.
mittee, be idle.

METROPOLITAN POLICE FORCE.
The following instructions and orders have been
issued from time to time to the New Police by the
Rome Secretary and the Police Commissioners.
['hey are in general deserving of praise, and, were
they faithfully obeyed, we should hear fewer com-
plaints against that body. They are taken from
i useful publication, entitled " The Police and Con-
stabulary List" for October, 1844 :
EXTRACTS FROM INSTRUCTIONS.
POLICE CONSTABLE.
Every police constable in the force may hope to rise
'ly activity, intelligence, and good conduct, to the supe-
,ior stations. He must make it his study to recommend
himself to notice by a diligent discharge of his duties,
ind strict obedience to the commands of his superiors.
recollecting, that he who has been accustomed to submit
e) discipline w ill be considered best qualified to com-
mand.
lie will devote the whole of his ;time and abilities to
die service. Ile is at all times to appear neat in his per-
son, and correctly dressed in his established uniform ;
his demeanour must always be respectful towards his
dlicers.
• He should clearly understand what powers are given
to him by law for the efficient execution of his duties.
For this purpose, he is recommended to read carefully
the instructions given to him respecting the general '
duties of a constable.
On no pretence shall he enter any public-house, except
in the immediate execution of his duty : such a breach
of positive order will not be excused : the publican him-
self is subject to a severe fine for allowing him to remain
in his house. No liquor of any sort shall be taken from
a publican without paying for it at the time.
1 If during the tour of his duty he observes in the
street anything likely to produce danger or public incon-
venience, or anything which seems to him irregular and
offensive, he must report it to the sergeant.
He will bs civil and attentive to all persons, of every
rank and class ; insolence or incivility will not be
passed over.
While on duty, ho must not enter into conversation
with any one, except on matters relating to his duty.
He must be particularly cautious not to interfere idly
or unnecessarily ; when required to act, he will do so
with decision and boldness ; on all occasions ho may ex-
pect to receive the fullest support in the proper exercise
of his authority.
He must remember that there is no qualification more
indispensable to a police-officer than a perfect command

by-standers to assist him, should he require it.
In case of a fire taking place, the constable at the spot
will give immediate alarm, by springing his rattle ; he
should, as soon as possible, send information to the divi-
,ion station, and, until the arrival of some superior
officer, from whom he may receive further orders, he will
exert himself in any way likely to be most useful, as in
keeping the space near the spot clear, assisting in remov-
ing property, sending for a police force from the nearest
section residences, giving notice to the fire-offices, en-
ne-keepers, turncocks, &c. No man who is any great
distance from the fire should leave his beat ; as depre-
dators may take advantage of his absence.
For his exertions upon these or any other extraordi-
nary occasions, the commissioners may recommend him
to the Secretary of State for a reward ; but on no pre-
ence shall he receive a gratuity from any person for
Anything relating to his duty ; this will always bo visited
with immediate dismissal.
