ONDON and YORK RAILWAY.
A Several advertisements having of late appeared, headed
" DIRECI' 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 f. om 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 too 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, 1881
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 Hitcbie,
Huntingdon, Peterborough, Grantham, Newark, Tuiford, Retford,
Bawtry, and Doncaster, not one of which is approached by Sir John
Ilennie's line, the public will be able to determine.
To the second and third allegations the Committee of Direction
of the Landon and York Company reply, that while Sir John Ren-
nie and Co. state that their surveys were commenced in October,
1843, and their prospectus isublialied in April last, the project for
a new railway between London and York was formed by Mr. Gibbs
in 1830, 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, hut 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 10th of April the project
was announced by advertisement in the Times, under the name of
the " Great Northern Railway," before any advertisement of Eir
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, and its shares bas attained a high premium is 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.

The object of this undertaking is to connect the port of Fal.
mouth with the Naval Station at Plymouth, and by the South
Devon and Bristol and Exeter Railways, with Bristol, where the
great lines of railway communication with the Metropolis, and the
North of England now meet, and thus to bring Falmouth, the most
‘Vesternly Port in the Channel, within eleven hours of London,
and fourteen hours of Liverpool and Manchester.
The works of the South Devon Railway from Exeter to Ply
mouth, being now in rapid progress, with a view to completion in
two years, the time has arrived when it becomes essential to bring
forward the plan for a western extension in conjunction with the
Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, Bristol and Gloucester, and
South Devon Railway Companies.
The Provisional Committee having laid the plans and estimates
of construction, and the traffic case in detail, berm, the Directors
of these Companies, they have agreed to unite in contributing
250,000/. to the capital of this Railway.
The Associated Companies having thus identified themselves
with this undertaking, the Cornwall Railway Company will have
the advantage, in its operations, of the advice an,l assistance of
Members of their Boards, and the works will be carried on with
the approbation, and under the supervision, of the experienco.l and
talented officers of these Companies.

County, have given assurances of support in Land and Money--a
considerable local connexion has been formed, and a large number
of Shares have been taken up, and no opposition or difficulty is
anticipated in obtaining the Act.

The necessary steps have therefore been taken to bring a Bill
before Parliament in the next Session for constructing the Corn-
wall Railway.

From the surveys that have been made by Captain Moorsom,
C.E., it appears that the line would pass through Torpoint, within
three quarters of a mile of St. Germans, touching Liskeard, near
to Bodmin and Lostwithiel, through Par, and St. Austell, by St.
Stephens and Tresillian to Truro. From Truro the course of the
line would be towards Bissoe and Pollean Cross, to connect with
the great Mining and Western districts of the County, and from
thence by Ponsnooth and Penryn to Falmouth.

The proposed line will pass through the richest and most
densely peopled Mining, Commercial, and Agricultural districts of
Cornwall. In the principal parts of these districts, the habits of
the people are peculiarly locomotive. A large and constant
passenger traffic already exists of a description which would be
immensely increased by the facilities of Railway communication.
The line will be connected on the north with the Wadebridge
and Bodmin Railway, the Newquay Railway, and the Caradon
Railway, and on the south the Par and Pentewan Railways, and
the Looe and Liskeard Canal, from each of which a considerable
amount of valuable traffic will be brought upon the Cornwall Rail-
way, and the communication with the ports on the north and south
coast greatly facilitated.

The completion of the Railway from Penzance, which passing

line of the Cornwall Railway between Truro and Falmouth, and for
which a Bill is to be brought before Parliament next Session, will
bring a great accession of traffic from those districts.

The Cornwall Railway will not only be in itself important and
of great local advantage, but will in fact be the terminus of a
metropolitan trunk line, and else the terminus of a line from the
great manufacturing districts of the North, so that the carriage
which loaves London in the Evening, will be at Falmouth in the
Morning, after eleven hours' journey, and the Passengers from
Manchester or Liverpool, may arrive at Falmouth in fourteen hours.
It will also be the westernly link of the great chain of coast lines
now formed, or in progless, Irons Dover on the east, to Penzance
in the west, and will thus eventually receive the traffic of these
sources, flowing to arid from our western possessions.
The well-known advantages and capabilities of the Port of Fal.
mouth and the opinions unequivocally expressed by the Commis-
sioners appointed by Government in 1840, to inquire into thecom-
parative merits of the Ports then suggested by the Mail Packet
Station, " That if a Railroad existed to the South-West Land's.
end, and a harbour were constructed in that neighbourhood, where
the mails might with facility be put on board and lauded, they
would unhesitatingly recommend that harbour to the adoption of
Government," make it evident that the construction of the pro.
posed Railway would render Falmouth the best Port in the kingdom
for the embarkation and landing of the Mails for the West Indies,
the Peninsula, the Mediterranean, and all our transatlantic pos.
sessions.—That this Port will be largely used by passengers pro.
ceeding by these Packets, and also by passengers arriving from and
departing for our Foreign Possessions in sailing vessels, is evident
from the anxiety always felt by those who have endured a long sea
voyage to reach the shore, and ftom the desire which most persons
feel to avoid the delays and danger of the Channel navigation.
The reasons which now induce outward.bound Indiamen to call at
Cowes or Portsmouth to embark their passengers, will apply with
greater force to a more Western Port, when a Railroad shall bring
that Port within eleven hours of the Metropolis.
The largely increasing number of vessels, which even under the
present mode of travelling, call, whether for passengers or orders,
at Falmouth, shows that expectations of traffic to a large extent,
may be well founded on these grounds; but in the calculations
now submitted, the Committee have confined themselves to the
usual increase upon the existing trade, which is alone sufficient
to show that this undertaking will prove a highly advantageous
investment.

Estimated annual cost of working, 40 per cent. 37,584

Nett revenue £56,380

This calculation, which shows a return of upwards of six per
cent, on the capital, is made upon principles allowed in proof
before Parliamentary Committees, but does not include the
carriage of any of the mineral produce of the County, or of
mining materials, or of manures other than sand; nor is any
credit taken for the large revenue which may be anticipated from
the probable return of the Packet Establishment, and from the
certain increase of passengers who will embark and disembark
at Falmouth when they can avail themselves of the benefit of
Railway communication.

Cornwall possesses within itself great facilities for the eon.
struction and maintenance of Railways.
Its numerous Foundries from which Engines and other Ma-
chinery are forwarded to all parts of the World, the able Engi
neers who are brought up within it, and the skill and enterprise
of its labouring population, will all conduce to the cheap end good
construction of the line and works.

The Committee cannot but express their fullest confidence, that
the dense popula'ion of this County, and its locomotive habits, its
rich and important mineral produce, the South_ Western position,
unrivalled safety and capabilities of its harbours, not exceeded by
any Ports in the Kingdom, its genial climate, possessing mildness
and uniformity not surpassed by the South of Fiance, which has
long rendered it the resort of invalids, the early productions of
its soil, and the anticipated restoration to Falmouth of the Packet
Establishment, will all contribute to produce a satisfactory return
on the capital invested, and secure to Cornwall that pre-emi-
nence it has always till now enjoyed as the high road to the
Indian, Peninsular, and transatlantic portions of the World.
The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at
the rate of four per cent. per annum on the deposit, and on subse-
quent calls, from the time of payment into the Bankers' hands,
until the Railroad may be opened for traffic; and no Subscriber
will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit of Si.
per Sham until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the
amount of his subscription.
A deposit of 3/. per Share will be payable at the Bankers on the
allotment of the Shares, and the Subscribers' agreement and Par-
liamentary contract, must be signed on or before the 31st day of
December next.

Applications for Shares in this Company addressed to the Soli-
citors, or to Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite, Old Broad.street,
London, from either of whom Prospectuses may be obtained, will
be received and registered until :he 25th day of October next,
when the Committee will proceed to allot them to unexceptionable
parties in the order in which the applications may have been made;
it being understood that in all cases references will be required.

FORM OF APPLICATION.

THE LIFE OF LOUIS PHILIPPE

Few sovereigns of any age, and none in modern times,
have passed through greater vicissitudes of fortune than
the present King of the French. Adversity is said to
be in most cases a good teacher, though its lessons have
frequently been throwis away upon pupils of regal birth.
In the instance before us, however, it is hardly to be
doubted that, if the success with which Louis Philippe
has wielded the sceptre may in great part be attributed
to his own prudence and sagacity, it may also, in some
measure, have resulted from the "sweet uses" of that
severe school of human discipline in which his early years
were passed.
The volume of the "Life and Times of Louis Philippe,
King of the French," which the Rev. G. N. Wright
published a few years hack, and to which he has recently
made an addition, including an account of the visit of
Queen Victoria to his Majesty, will furnish us with ma-
terials for a brief sketch of most of the remarkable pas-
sages in the history of this monarch.
Louis Philippe, it is well known, was the son of the
notorious Duke of Orleans, or Citizen Egalitc, asso-
ciated with our worst recollections of the Reign of
'Ferrer in the worst part of the French Revolution. Louis
Philippe, Duke de Valois, was born in 1773. His father
was then Duke de Chartres (the Duke of Orleans being
alive), and his mother was " the amiable, popular, and
wealthy " heiress of the Duke of Penthievre. This
lady separated from her husbaud not only on account of
his political proceedings, but owing to the influence
which he had suffered the celebrated Madame de Geniis
to exercise over his own mind and that of his children,
and which he avowed was in order to supersede the na-
tural rights of the mother. His address to the Conven-
tion, in 1792, states one of his reasons for sending his
daughter to England with Madame de Geniis to be a
desire " to withdraw her from the influence of a woman,"
as he terms the Duchess, "who is undoubtedly very es-
timable, but whose opinions upon the present affairs arc
not in accordance with my own." The Duke de Valois
(Louis Philippe) was the eldest of three sons. In his
eighth year his father consulted Madame de Geniis upon
the choice of a fit tutor for him, and that lady has re-
lated the conversation which passed between them upon
this important subject.
" One evening that the Duke of Chartres came, as he
iert o
s lose
children procuringw
generally did, to Bell Chasse, between eight and nine
o'clock, finding me alone, he told me that there was no
timetli wie his in
o would
d tutorhave for
m hisa
manners of
fo s
hop
fur that
a
o
men. He consulted mo on the selection of one. I pro-
posed Schomberg, whom he refused to accept, alleging
that he would render the children pedantic. I then
named the Chevalier de Durfort, who he said would
give them a tone of bombast. I then spoke of Thiars,
but he objected to him as being too careless ; and
said that he would pay no attention at all to the
children. I then began to laugh, and said, ' Well, what
do you think of me ?" Why not ?' replied he, seriously.
I protested that what I had said was in jest, and that in
all our previous conversations nothing had occurred that
could have led me to expect so singular a determination.
But the air andlnsanner of the Duke impressed me deeply
with the thought of doing something at once glorious to
myself, and unprecedented in the history of education,
and I earnestly hoped that the plan might be accom-
plished. I told the Duke frankly my thoughts on the
subject ; he appeared delighted, and said, 'rho thing is
decided—you must be their tutor.'"
The Chevalier de Bonnard (who had been recommen-
ded to the Duke by M. de Buffon) and the Abbe
Guyot were to be sub-tutors, but Madame de Geniis
was to be absolute directress of the education of the
princes, for which she demanded no remuneration, being
content with the honour of having educated them gra-
tuitously. Bonnard, however, thought the post hurni-
' listing, and resigned it to M. Le Brun. The Court ri
dieuled this system of education, and declared that it
was a reflection upon the noblesse, but the " (year,"
Mr. Wright remarks, "has fully justified the choice of
the Duku, and the throne of France is now a beautiful
monument to the memory of Madame de Geniis."
Young Louis Philippe, it is said, with a robust frame
and lively disposition, was fonder of amusement than
study, and yawned over history even when read to
him by a Madame de Geniis. Judicious severity
cured these anti-studious habits, end his indefatigable
instructress succeeded in bringing out and developing
" the noble mental qualities which revealed themselves
in the boy Valois." The princes were taught not merely
the higher branches of literature and science, but various
domestic arts and manufactures, such as turning,
basket-making, weaving, &c. The Duke de Valois is
said to have excelled his brothers in cabinet-making, an
art, which, it is jocosely said, he has since turned to good
account.

Under such a tutor as Madame do Geniis, and at such
an era, it is not to be wondered at that the young Prince
should have manifested an ardent love of liberty, and a
thirst for military glory. His wealth, whilst he pos-
sessed any, was devoted to benevolent objects ; and Ma-
dame de Geniis has preserved a letter from the Duke,
when about 15, declaring his intention to save a fund
out of his pocket-money for charitable purposes. Ills
gotwernante has entered the following character of her I
pupil at this time :
" The Duke of Chartres has greatly improved in dis-
position during the last year ; he was born with good
inclinations : he is now become intelligent and virtuous.
He has none of the frivolity of his age ; he sincerely
disdains the puerilities which occupy the pursuits of so
many young men—such as fashions, dress, trinkets,
trifles of all kinds, the rage for following novelties. lie
has no passion for money; he is disinterested ; despises
glare, and is, consequently, truly noble : lastly, ;he has
an excellent heart, which is common to his brothers and
sister, and which, joined to reflection, is capable of pro-
ducing all other good qualities."
Unhappily as the Duke grew up to manhood, he was
initiated into the mysteries of the worst political schools
of the Revolution. In 1790 he was introduced by his
father into the Jacobin Club—Madame de Geniis says,
in direct opposition to her wishes, when that club was
at the zenith of its power and infamy:—
"It does not appear," Mr. 'Wright says, " that the
young Duke exhibited any sympathy with his brother
Jacobins, although he very warmly and decidedly ad-
mired and applauded the liberal sentiments of many
eloquent members of the National Assembly: he fre-
quently attended the sittings of the latter, but it is not
plain that he entitled himself to the least share of Ja-

cobin reputation, whatever value posterity may attach
to it."

Nevertheless ho was inoculated with much of the re-
volutionary spirit, for when, in 1791, ho appeared in
the uniform of the National Guard to have his name
entered upon the register, perceiving that all his titles
had been written, he erased them with his own hand.

and wrote after his name, " Citizen of Faris." As
colonel of a regiment of dragoons, he joined the army
at Vendome, and when the decree for the suppression of
all emblems of nobility was received there, he declared
to his regiment that " he was too much the friend of
equality, not to hare received it with transport." At
Vendome he rescued, at the hazard of his life, two non-
juring priests, who had insulted a constitutional clergy-
man. This incident is the subject of a painting in the
Palais Royal. Upon another occasion he saved an engi
neer from drowning, by jumping into a deep and dan-
gerous river. _ _ _

The first campaign of the young " citizen" was under
Dumouriez, in the war between France and Austria. in

lie had been appointed Commandant at Stras-

burg, but he said, " I atia too young to be shut up in a
citadel, and I request permission to remain on active
service." Ile was present at the " Cannonade of

Valmy," as it is called ; and General Kellerman, in
his official dispatch, particularly notices, amongst those
who had shown distinguished courage, " M. Chartres
and his aide-de-camp, M. Montpensier "—the l)uke de
Montpensier, the younger brother of Louis Philippe.
lie was soon after transferred to Dumouriez's army on
the frontier, where the Duke de Chartres, then only
nineteen, gathered his first military laurels at the battle
of Gemappes. The Austrian army consisted of 22,000
veteran troops under Marshal Clairfait ; that of Du-
rnouriez, consisting mostly of raw levies, was about
27,000. The Duke was entrusted with the command of

the right wing, the army being equally divided into two
wings. On the 6th of November, 1792, the French
army attacked the formidable position of the Aus-
trians. The right wing, becoming the centre, was se-
parated by the Duke into columns of battalions, and
moved on the wood of Flenu, covering the Austrian
centre. Placing six battalions in reserve, with the
eighteen others he drove in the enemy's light infantry,
traversed the wood, and arrived on the level ground
above it ; but the Austrian infantry, supported by the
artillery, made such havoc amongst the beads of the
columns, that they could not debouche, and re-entered
the wood in disorder. Mr. Wright, in describing the

battle, says :
" The Duke de Chartres saved the army from a great
disaster, by forming a chain of mounted chasseurs in
front of the wood, to arrest the fugitives. Finding it im-
possible to re-establish order in many of the battalions,
which were all now mixed together, he formed one
great column of the whole, which he named the

in the midst of it, caused the trumpeters to sound
