friendly co-operation and support to this Company, both in obtain.
ing the Parliamentary sanction to this undertaking, and in carrying
into execution the plans proposed for securing to this Company the
best terminus it is possible to obtain in the metropolis.
The amount of capital already subscribed is amply sufficient to
meet all the expenses that have to be incurred according to the
most liberal estimate; and the Subscribers' Contracts, with other
necessary deeds, have been extensively signed by the holders of the
Scrip, both in London and the country.
The following are the resolutions passed at a General Meeting
of the Provisional Committee, held at the office, on the 23d of
October instant, relative to the negotiations which have been for
some time carried on with the South-Western Company :
It was resolved—" That the proposals now made by the South-
Western Company are, in the opinion of this meeting, equitable
and advantageous to the interests of this Company, and that the
same be approved and adopted by this Committee."
Sir W. CLAY having left the Chair,
It was resolved unanimously—" That the thanks of this meet.
ing be given to Sir W. Clay for his kind services in the chair at
the meetings of this Committee."
W. CHADWICK, Esq., having been called to the Chair,
The following resolutions were unanimously agreed to:—
" That it be referred to the Sub,Committee to carry into effect
the present agreement with the South-Western Company as soon as
possible."
" That the best thanks of this Committee are due to W. Chad.
wick, Esq., for his unremitted exertions in bringing the negotia-
tions with the South-Western Company to a prosperous conclusion,
which circumstance is not only the surest mode of securing to this
Company success in Parliament, but, in the opinion of this Corn.
mittee, will ensure a more certaint amount of profit."

" • •

I am directed by the Committee, in answer to many inquiries,
and for the information of the Shareholders, to state that the ques-
tion of junction with the South-Western Railway has been settled
by the vote of the Committee of Wednesday last; that notwithstand-
ing the extraordinary means used to sever this undertaking from
any connexion with the South-Western line, the result of the
meeting was 9 to 1 in favour of the views of the Committee, viz., a
junction with the South-Western Railway, being in proportion to
the shares held by the respective parties as 50 to 1. The Com-
mittee have likewise to state that means have been taken to ascer-
tain the opinion of the Proprietors, and the result is, that the Sub-
scribers at Leeds, Manchester, and the north, are unanimous in
supporting the Committee, and almost the whole having been seen
or communicated with, they are able to state their belief that upon
the question of junction or no junction with the South-Western,
Sir William Clay, Sir George Larpent, and Mr. James Clay, stand
alone in the views they have taken against the whole of the Sub-
scribers. The Committee refrain from making any observations,
but satisfy themselves with laying before their Shareholders and the
public the facts of the case.

This railway will connect the north of Scotland with all the pro
posed and present railways in the south, and leads directly from
Aberdeen to Edinburgh and Glasgow. Its length will be about 50}
miles, and the distances from Aberdeen to the following important
places will be as follows, viz.:—
To Edinburgh, via Arbroath, Dundee, and through Fife 125 Miles
Ditto, via Forfar, Perth, and Stirling 157
To Glasgow, via Forfar, Perth, and Stirling
Ditto via Dundee, Perth and Stirling ...... 157
The position of Aberdeen among the towns of Scotland is next
in importance to that of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and, with the
view of adopting the line best calculated to unite Aberdeen with
these and other populous cities, and to secure the most favourable
communication with the south, Mr. Cubitt, after a careful personal
survey has repotted his decided approval of the line now proposed,
and which may be described as follows :—From Aberdeen by
Stonehaven, Drumlithie, Laurencektrk, Marykirk, Dubton near
Montrose, and Bridge of Dun near Brechin, to Friockheim and
Guthrie, points about seven miles from Arbroath and Forfar in the
present line of railway to these towns.
Mr Cubitt has further stated that this line is also the most fa.
vourable as regards the expense of construction, and that his esti-
mate of 900,0001. is fully sufficient for completing the undertaking,
including the plant and every other expense up to the opening of
the railway,
The Company will be in a situation to submit evidence to Par.
liament that the traffic will yield a return of S per cent. to the share.

proceedings of a Loan Society,
Mr. GOWER in the Chair;
Mr. Wilkinson, of Tysoe street, Clerkenwell, the party aggrieved,
having stated his case, and a Penny Subscription having been soli-
cited, the following resolutions were adopted, with but one dis.
sentient :
" That in the opinion of this meeting, every man signing a bill,
bond, or other security, is under all circumstances liable for the
payment thereof; therefore, any legal expenses which may be in.
curred for the recovery of the same, is attributable to the debtor
and not to the creditor."
" That the expression of public sympathy with a man who enters
into a liability and repudiates the payment thereof, is discreditable
to a commercial community, and dangerous to the existence of pub-
lic faith."
" That it is the opinion of this meeting that it is highly impru-
dent, if not dishonest, for any man to make himself liable for any
debt or bond, knowing his circumstances will not enable him to
pay the same."

After the Act is obtained, interest at the rate of 4 per cent. will

Messrs. Hydes and Tymbs,
The line from Worcester, with a branch to the Severn, is in-
tended to pass near the towns of Pershore, Evesham, Stratford.on.
Avon, Banbury, Bicester, and Aylesbury, and to join the London
and Birmingham Railway in the vicinity of Tring, which has been
found, on the whole, to be a more desirable point of junction for
public accommodation than Weedon. The line from Rugby to
Oxford is intended to pass also by way of Banbury, and will form,
for about twenty miles, a portion of the main line from Worcester
to Tring. Whilst Worcester by these means will be brought within
a distance of 119 miles of the terminus of the London and Birming-
ham Railway at Euston-square, the intermediate country will be
connected by the proposed line to Rugby with the eastern side of
the kingdom. On the other hand, Birmingham and the midland
and northern counties will be thus directly connected with Oxford
and the south ; and, as a necessary result, the London and Bir.
mingham Railway Company will effect a junction of their existing
Warwick and Leamington branch with the proposed lines.
Accurate surveys of the country have been made under the di-
rection and personal superintendence of Mr. Robert Stephenson,
who reports that it is free from any considerable engineering dif-
ficulties.
Estimates of the traffic has been prepared, showing a return upon
the expenditure sufficient to induce the Directors of the London
and Birmingham Company to lease the line in perpetuity, which
they have agreed to do, with a guarantee of 4 per cent. per annum
to the Proprietors upon the outlay, and half the surplus profits.
A moiety of the shares is reserved for the Proprietors of the
London and Birmingham Company; and the remainder will be
alloted to parties having local interests, and other applicants.
Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, will be paid half-
yearly on the Deposits awl Calls, from the time of payment.
Applications for shares may be made to the solicitors, or to the
following sharebrokers :—Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite, Old
Broad.street, Mr. Robert William Moore, Threadneedle-street,
London ; Mr. Samuel Woods, jun., Liverpool; or Mr. James
Pearson, Birmingham.
FORM OF APPLICATION.
I request you will allot me Shares in the Worcester and
London, and Rugby and Oxford Railway, on the conditions of the

posit, and sign the Subscribers' Agreement, and Parliamentary

..• The Bouquet Duke of York is the last new fashionable
perfume of the season 1844 ; but though the last, is not the least
in perfection, as it happily combines the preceding excellence of all
the royal bouquets, with the delicate and delicious fragrance of the
white moss rose.

OPINIONS OF THE PILES%
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.
Wemust, however, confers that a perusal of 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.

terests of the Irish people. Granting that it be so,
the remedy, in our opinion, is not to multiply our
Parliamentary machinery under the idea that this ad-
verse influence may be evaded, but to change it by
operating upon its ultimate source—the sense of the
people of both countries. To evade it we must con-
trive so to nullify the representation principle as to give
sway to a minority in the national councils—a task
which, in the present state of things, seems rather hope-
less. We may divide and sub-divide till we find a fit
assembly for making precisely the laws we want; but
to obtain an effective sanction for them we must come
back, sooner or later, to the central authority, and must
encounter on the way all the difficulties we have
sought to avoid. We come, therefore, unavoidably
to the conclusion, that the Parliament in College-
green would find it impossible to legislate in opposi-
tion to that at Westminster, and preserve its alle-
giance to the same Sovereign. But happily the
experiment is as unnecessary as it would be dan-
gerous. To obtain justice for Ireland is not an im-
possibility, though to obtain it by this particular
method looks so very like one.
STANDARD.—In England, says the Univers,
there prevails (who would have thought it ?) " a
popular irritation against France." We certainly,
up to this moment, have remained in happy igno-
rance of this irritation, nay, we have flattered our-
selves with the conviction that the utter failure of
the organs of the ousted Whigs to magnify the Ota-
heite affair and the war in Morocco into occasions of
offence, is the best possible proof that in England
we are doggedly resolved to preserve the entente
cordiale, that " better substitute," as the Herald
calls it, for formal treaties of alliance, so often preg-
nant with matters of dispute. The article of the
Univers, which first apprises us of our uncomfortable
irritation against France (of which the French offi-
cers at Portsmouth were probably as ignorant as our-
selves), is otherwise very amusing, and therefore we
will copy it :
" THE EMPEROR NICHOLAS AND THE WHIGS.—The
Univers announces as a report, that the Baron do
Meyendorff, the Russian Minister at Berlin, had left
that capital to meet Count Nesselrode, and, if neces-
sary, induce the latter to proceed to the Prussian capi-
tal, where Lord Palmerston is at present, and where
he has been received with the greatest distinction by the
King. Lord Palmerston proposes next to proceed to
Vienna, and many per Sons are inclined to give a political
signification to his journey. This opinion, whether
erroneous or otherwise, is founded on the supposed pro-
bability of the return of the Whigs to office. Their
affinity with O'Connell, coupled with the popular irri-
tation existing in England against France, renders it
improbable that one of their principal leaders should be
travelling for amusement at such a moment. It must
not be forgotten, that during Lord Palmerston's last
years of office anti-Gallicanism was personified in that
statesman. Lord Palmerston had decidedly abjured
the policy of the former quadruple alliance to
adopt the Austro-continental policy. It cannot be
dissembled that the attitude assumed by him in the
question of Egypt and Syria acquired for him the
sympathies of every foreign power with the exception
of France. In many other questions, likewise, such as
those of Greece and Turkey, the system of Lord Pal-
merston was not less in accord with that of foreign
courts. It is believed that the object of the prolonged
stay of the Count de Nesselrode in England was to facili-
tate the solution of certain questions relative to the
affairs of the East. It is, moreover, announced that Lord
Palmerston, by the advice of his friends, is about to re-
turn speedily to England, where the interests of his party
require his presence. If this be so, the journey of the
King of the French and of his Minister to England, and
his visit to Queen Victoria, would have produced a sin-
gular result."
This is droll enough. The probability that the
Whigs are about to resume office in consideration
of their affinity with Mr. O'Connell will, pro-
bably, be as new to most English readers as the
prevailing irritation against France ; not that
any one doubts of the affinity spoken of ;
but we have not hitherto been aware that such
affinity with the ex-gaol-bird and frightened deserter
of repeal, would be a recommendation to the confi-
dence either of the Sovereign or the people of this
nation. Enough, however, upon this point. Thanks
to his good luck, or it may be to the dishonesty
of faction, Mr. O'Connell is at large, though still
upon the records of the courts of justice a cri-
minal convicted of a seditious -conspiracy. Let
the Whigs by all means court his patronage, and
let the convict make Lord Palmerston a Prime
Minister, if, as the Univers estimates, he can. And
now to another point : the Univers hints, not very
darkly, at some supposed understanding between Lord
Palmerston and the Russian Government, and tells a
story of Count Nesselrode's visit to this country.
Now, the surmise as to Lord Palmerston's inti-
mate relations with Russia imputes to his Lord-
ship nothing more than virtual high treason, and we
shall not, by canvassing the grounds of the
surmise, poach on Mr. Urquhart's preserve. Mr.
Urquhart knows Lord Palmerston much better than
we do, and is in all respects much better qualified
than we are to do justice to his Lordship's proceed-
ing. Connected with this matter, however, we have
a little tale to tell. A person—who has been for some
years admitted at least so far into the confidence of
the Russian mission in this country, as now and
then to supply to us, and we suppose to other jour-
nals, articles of information that could be had only
from the Russian Minister or some of his suite—called
at our office shortly before the arrival of the King of
the French, to tell that the preliminaries of a
quadruple treaty, for the arrangement of the
affairs of the East, had been agreed upon
between Great Britain, Russia, Austria, and
Prussia ; and that the terms of this treaty, from any
share in forming which France was to be excluded,
were the opening of Constantinople and the Dar-
danelles as a free city and a free port, and the
removal of the Sultan and his Court to Scutari,
preparatory to driving the Turks altogether out
of Europe. The fable was a little too gross, and
therefore we dismissed it without much con-
sideration. It is impossible, however, not to see the
mischievous purpose with which such fabrications
are set afloat, and we confess that we suspect that
the article quoted above is an arrow out of the same
quiver. Certain it is, that if the Russian Govern-
ment does not wish to embroil Great Britain and
France, it is grievously ill-served by its subordinate
agents, and, assuming Lord Palmerston to be one of
is friends, by some of its friends also.
