This important national undert dring was brought forward in the
autumn of last year, and was suspe-ded from want of sufficient time
M comply with the standing orders of the Houses of Parliament ;
hut, durik g the period that it existed, a very large number of shares
from influential persons were applied for, and it received eminent
public support.
It will commence at King's-cross, near the north end of Gray's
Inn-road, and pass round 31uswe1l Hill, through or adjacent to
Friern Barnet, Chipping Barnet, St. Alban's, Luton, Silsoe, Ampt-
hill, Bedford, Wellingborough, Kettering, Market Harborough, Lei-
cester, Ashby-de-la-Zouch. Burton, Uttoxeter, Cheadle, Leek, Mac-
clesfield, and Stockport, to Manchester, with a branch from the line
between Cheadle and Uttoxeter, through State and the Staffordshire
Potteries to Crewe.
This railway has not been pillaged from the prospectuses of any
other undertaking, nor have the labours of any other person been
appropriated to eke out a fancy scheme. It was oritinally planned
by Mr. George Remington in 1836, and in 1840 and 1841 this gentle-
man surveyed the ground, and took the sections between London and
Leicester, and personally inspected the Valleys of the Dove, Der-
went, and Churnet, with a view to obtain a great trunk line between
the most important termini is the empire. Manchester, the centre
of the great manufacturing district, comprising the towns of Bury,
Bolton, Rochdale, Ashton, Oldham, 31acclesficid, Stockport, &c ,
and a mass of population, exceeding a million, actively engaged in
the pursuits of manufacturing industry, wilt benefit by every reduc-
tion of distance between itself and the metropolis, and requires a
direct communication, not a route made up of circuitous segments
of various undertakings already overworked, with a patch of new
railway between, but by one continuous railway.
Public opinion, the sentiments of eminent statesmen and engi-
neers, and the wants of the commercial world, have for some time
pointed out the necessity of a direct independent line. The circum-
stance alone of other lines in this direction being now advertised,
which have been announced since this undertaking originated, is a
convincing proof of the feeling so generally entertained.
This is not all. Looking to the snap of England, it will be per-
ceived that the nearest route to Edinburgh is through the very centre
of the kingdom, by Manchester; and, from the obstructions of the
Firths of Forth and Tay, Carlisle and Manchester must necessarily
be points in the intercommunication betweeh London and Glasgow,
and the North and North east of Scotland. Whenever the Northern
railways are complete, a very great passenger traffic, as well as the
goods at present brought by sea to Liverpool from Glasgow, will be
added to the present amount, and the necessity of greater expedition,
certainty, and accommodation, will be felt to be more pressing.
Already, from the vast increase of business, the Midland lines have
obtained an amount of goods and passenger carriage that has reached
the limits of safety.
If, then, from various causes, such as the continuous increasing
ected
traffic on the old lines—the junction of many new railways proj
and in formation—the approaching completion of the Scottish and
Northern lines—the progression of railway communication in Ireland,
new anti immense sources of traffic will he necessarily poured in on
lines indirect and inadequate to general accommodation; there can
be no objection on public grounds to the construction of
e: direct line
between London and Manchester. On the contrary, every reason
for its energetic support.
From Leicester to Bedford and London, it will intersect a rich,
populous, and fertile country, at present without railway comthrough
muni-
cation to London, while northwards of Leicester it will pass
important mineral and mining &stride, and the coal and other natu-
ral productions of Derbyshire and Staffordshire will be immediately
available for the population along the whole line.
From a point in the Term Valley, near Cheadle, it is intended to
carry a branch railway through the Staffordshire Potteries to Crewe,
by way of Lane-end, Stoke-upon-Trent, Hanley, Newcastle-under-
Lyne, Burden), and Tunstall, so as to form a junction with the Grand

REMINGTON'S LINE.
ii3ONDON and MANCHESTER DIRECT
INDEPENDENT RAILWAY.
The acting Committee of Management cannot allow the present
opportunity to pass without congratulating the numerous friends of
this line on the further recognition, by Parliament, of the principle
of direct independent lines of railways in their decision in favour of
the preamble of the London and York project.
By order,

DENT RAILWAY, with a BRANCH through the
POTTERIES to CREWE.
The Committee of Management have the pleasure to announce, as
one instance among many of the great public advantages likely to re-
sult from the carrying out of this railway, that certain leading coal-
masters of Staffordshire have proposed to this Company, that in the
event of the line being established, they will guarantee a clear annual
profit of 40,0'0/. for the conveyance of coal to the London market
alone, and they assert (though it forms no part of the present pro-
posal) that another 55,000/. per annum may be realised from other
markets. In the event of such contract being accepted, they propose
to deliver their best coals in the London market at 12s. 6d. per ton,
which would ensure to the metropolis a supply of coals at a' price
most materially below the present cost.
The Committee feel it right to make this announcement, because it
is one of the early practical illustrations in proof of the great public
utility which the Committee must confidently aqticipate from the
establishment of this important national project.
By order,

Tho proposed line (which forms part of the scheme of the South
Midland Railway) and is a continuation of the Northampton and
Peterborough branch of the London and Birmingham Railway, will
connect by the shortest route, the following important towns, via.:—
Boston, Lynn, Yarmouth, Norwich, Ely, Cambridge, Huntingdon,
Peterborough, Bedford, and Northampton, with Banbury, Evesham.
Worcester, &c. ; and with Cheltennam, Gloucester, Bristol, Exeter,
Plymouth, Weymouth, &c. ; with Hereford, Swansea, Milford Haven,
Fishguard, and the whole of the South of Ireland ; and with Oxford,
Salisbury, Southampton, and Portsmouth ; and will also connect Co-
ventry, Warwick, and Stratford-on-Avon, with the whole of the be-
fore-mentioned places, thereby in effect accommodating a population
of several millions.
The line presents no engineering difficulties. The landholders
generally are considered favourable to the project, and the promoters
have every reason to calculate upon a most highly remunerative re-
turn on the outlay.
One-third of the shares will be reserved for the shareholders in the
South Midland Railway Company, and a preference will be given in
allotting the residue to parties locally interested.

NORTHERN LUNATIC ASYLUM,
London, Colonade Hotel, Charles-street, St. James's-square,
sth June, 1845.
At a Meeting held on the 20th ultimo, of the Committee appointed
by the County of Inverness, for promoting the erection at Inverness
of a Lunatic Asylum, for Pauper and other Lunatics of the Northern
Counties of Scotland ;
We, the undersigned, William H. Colquhoun, Advocate, Sheriff-
:=ltbstitute of Inverness-shire, and John Mackenzie, banker in In-
verness, were appointed a /1,-putation to solicit Subscriptions in Lon-
don, in aid of the proposed Asylum.
And being now arrived here, in pursuance of our mission, we beg
leave to send you some particulars regarding the proposed establish-
ment, In the hope that you will be pleased to give it the benefit of
your support by contribution or otherwise, Under that impression,
we will do ourselves the honour of waiting on you, in a day or two,
to learn your determination; bat should we he so unfortunate as not
to have an opportunity of seeing you personally, we hope you will be
kind enough to favour us with your views, to the above address, on
or before 12th instant. •
The primary object of the projected Institution is the accommoda-
tion of pauper lun sties, and of other lunatics in poor circumstances,
in the northern counties of Scotland, which comprise an extent of
surface equal to one-third of all Scotland, and have a population of
about 250,000. Yet, with the exception of a very few eel's attached
to the infirmary at Inverness, there is not any provision made in all
this wide district for the secure confinement or medical treatment of
the !man-, the poorer classes of whom, amounting in number to up-
reoyirf the country.
wards of 700, are left In a state of wretched destitution, either burden-
some to their poor relatives and paralysing their industry, or roam •

this heart-sickening and frighthil aegleet
and destitution, it is proposed to erect at Inverness, as the most
central and convenient point, an Asylum for pauper lunatics, and for
other lunatics in poor circumstances belonging to the northern coun-
ties. As a subsidiary and ulterior measure, provision will be made
for the addition afterwards of apartments for richer classes of patients.•
The funds for this purpose can only be obtained by the voluntary
contributions of such benevolent persons as are Interested in the wel-
fare of the wide district of country referred to, or in the mitigation of
human suffering renerally. It is estimated that at least 8,001./. will
be required to erect the necessary buildings, and to form a thud for
the permanent endowment of the Institution. Already considerable
progress has been made, principally in the North of Scotland, in pro-
curing subscriptions ; and hopes are confidently entertained that
with Metropolitan, and Rerhaps Colonial aid, the necessary funds
will be obtained to secure this invaluable boon for the poor, and re-
move one of the worst blots on the humanity of our countrymen.
The rules for the government of the Institution will be of course de-
tennined at a general meeting of the Subscribers, and will be sub-
mitted to them on principles fitted to secure a liberal and efficient
system of management, comprehending the chief official funtionaries
of the district, but giving to the Subscribers due and ample powers of
control and recommendation.

We are, respectfully,
Your very obedient servants,

. Resolved,—First—Thrit this Society cannot refrain from expressing
its surprise and disappointment at the very unsatisfactory resolutions
introduced by Lord John Russell in the House of Commons on the
26th of May, fbr the professed purpose of ameliorating the condition
of the working classes of the United Kingdom, and of correcting the
alarming evil for which his Lordship did not account, that while
" the rich are growing richer, the poor are growing poorer;"—and
this meeting considers that no professions of sympathy for the dis-
tressed condition of the labouring classes can avail anything, or he
satisfactory to the country at large, so long as those classes are
Compelled to provide for a heavy taxation on articles of consumption
in a money artificially made scarce—a regulation which confers an
undue and unnatural advantage upon capital over industry.
Second,—That it is the opinion of this Society that the state of
actual destitution and suffering under which it is acknowledged the
labouring clan,•es in this kingdom are now so largely suffering, in
the midst of superabundant wealth, and the inexhaustible means of
producing that wealth, is not owing to any fault of their own, nor
to any express dispensation of Providence, but is attributable to in-
judicious legislation, of which the most striking example is the per•
Melons currency law of 1819—a measure which Sir James Graham
truly and emphatically denounced as a " delusion and a fraud."
Third,—That the object of the currency law of 1819 and of the
monetary measures of 1844 and 1845 is to reduce the prices of pro-
duction to the level of gold prices, while the object of eorn-
laws, and of all protective laws, Is to raise prices above the level
of gold, in order to compensate fur heavy taxation ; and thus the one
object is inconsistent with, and contradictory to, the other.—That it
is the intention of the Legislature, in levying taxes on commodities,
to secure that those taxes should be paid by the consumers generally
in a rise of prices; but the effect of the monetary measures before re-
ferred to is to prevent a rise of prices, and thus to defeat that inten-
tion.—That by these means a grievous wrong is inflicted on the pro-
ducing classes, the effects of which are observable in the wide-spread
pauperism described by Sir James Graham as already amounting in
England to full one-tenth of the population, and in the alarming de-
pression of the prices of agricultural produce, in consequence of which
the wages of the labourer are reduced to their present low and insuffi-
cient rate.

Fourth,—That this Society contends that the high scale of indirect
taxation in this country demands a corresponding scale of prices both
of labour and of the produce of labour ; and that such scale of prices
is incompatible with the present low fixed price of gold, which has
the effect, not only of throwing upon the producers the burden of
that taxation which ought to be paid by the consumers, but of perni-
ciously restricting the circulating medium of the country, by making
it dependent on the quantity of gold in the Bank of England.
Fifth,—That if gold were allowed to find its market price in the
currency of the country, like all other commodities, and in obedience
to the law of suprly and demand, prices in the home trade would
rise to a remunerating level, without affecting the prices of our
foreign trade, which are now, and always must be, regulated by the
market price of gold. That competition would prevent home prices
from rising in such a circulating medium beyond the level that indi-
rect taxation justified ; a level below which it is as unjust to the pro-
ducer as it is dangerous to the public ereditor to reduce them.—That
the Government money (or Exchequer-bills) now issued for taxes in
a shape and in amounts exclusively useful to the monied class, should
be issued in amounts convenient for all classes—namely, in notes of
one pound and upwards; that these notes being necessarily confined
within the amount of annual taxation, would be founded on and re-
present that property which. the Government annually draws from
the people in taxes, and would form the legal-tender money of the
nation.—That labour would then receive its fair and reasonable re-
ward, while the commerce and industry of the country would be freed
Prom their present unnecessary and injurious dependence upon
foreign exchanges.
Sixth,—That this Society views with horror the monstrous doc-
trine attributed to Sir Robert Peel in the debate on Mr. Villiers's
motion upon the 10th of June, that the increasing impoverishment
of the industrious classes is without remedy ; that " great wealth
being found side by side with great poverty" is " inseparable from
civilisation, and that civilisation in itself increase. the tendency in
a country towards them,"—a doctrine which would consign a large
portion of our countrymen to irremediable poverty. That this
Society is prepared to prove before a Committee of either House of
Parliament that such a social anomaly is mainly attributable to mis-
taken views of the nature and uses of money, and of the laws
governing the distribution of wealth ; and they cannot but ascribe it
to the deepest and most deplorable delusion, that in the recent dis-
cussions on the subject of the Corn-laws and Banking, the National
Debt and Taxation, which form essential elements in both questions,
have been studiously excluded.
Seventh,—That petitions, representing the substance of the reso-
utions of this meeting, and praying for legislative inquiry into the
effect of currency on prices, and on the wages of labour, be now
prepared and signed by the Chairman of the Society, and be presented
to the House of Lords and the House of Commons ; and that the
Provisional Committee formed fur the convening of this meeting be
requested to place the petitions in suitable hands for presentation and
support.
