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

TO\ DOLT and YORK RAILWAY.
, Several advertisements having of late appeared, headed
" DIREC l' NORTHERN RAILWAY," and having attached
thereto the names of Sir John Rennie, Mr. Gravatt, Major Amsine,
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 those 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 two miles and a half. Sir John Bennie'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, 11151
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, whet.
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, Retforci,
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 Non.
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. Gibbet
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, 111. P ; who suggested several alteration., 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," before any advertisement of Bic
John Rennie had appeared : and the Committee of Direction dia.
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, ano 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.

Subjoine,l, for the Information of the Shareholders and the public,
is as accurate table of the actual distances, and also a list of the
Provisional Committee of tho London and York Company, pub-
lished in May last, including names that will be taken by the pub.

AMERICAN ICE.-LYNN'S WATERLOO
HOTEL, RANELAGII-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
WILLIAM LYNN respectfully calls the attention of the nobility,
gentry, hotel-keepers, and others, to this beautind and cheap article
of importation. It is in solid blocks, weighing from one to two hun-
dred pounds each, and is as clear as crystal ; it can be sent to any
distance, with very trifling waste ; and is used for a variety of pur-
poses that English Ice cannot be applied to.
W. L. has imported some PROVISION SAFES from America, for
the use and comfort of Private Families—

The REFRIGERATOR, or (as sometimes designated) a Miniature
Ice-house. This is a new and useful article of furniture, rapidly
coming into use in northern and southern climes; it is designed to
keep cool and sweet such dishes in the culinary department as are
necessary to be protected from the heat of the weather during the
summer season.

-----
The Refrigerator is now considered an indispensible article in the
economy of every good housewife ; the quantity of food it protects
from the weather will more that pay the cost of the article in
one year.
They may be seen in operation, in their various valuable and useful
purposes, at the Waterloo Ilotel, and families can be supplied with
them on moderate terms. _ .

CANDLES SUPERIOR IN THEM BURN-
ING QUALITIES TO THE FINEST WAX are now retailed
throughout the Country at One Shilling per lb.
Parties who are in the habit of limning two tallow moulds of four
to the lb , are respectfully requested to make the experiment
whether a single " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLE" of six to the lb.
will not give more light ; and whether, therefore, these Candles do
not afford a cheaper source of light than the commonest tallow
ones, notwithstanding the difference in price per lb.
Care must be taken to ask for them in the shops under the name
given above, as there are some imitations sold under the name" Com-
posite," by which Price's Patent Candles were originally made
public.
The trade may obtain them wholesale from Edward ?rice and Co ,

LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE ON
THE RIVER.
Late en Saturday evening Mr. Carter, the Coroner for
East Surrey, commenced an inquiry at Mr. Avis's, the
Eight Bells Tavern, Putney, into the circumstances at-
tending the death of Mr. Henry Tyer,
.aged 21, a mid-
shipman, and son of the late 71r. Tyer, of Manor House,
Barnes. The deceased was drowned off the Crab Tree,
at Hammersmith, on the evening of Friday, the 27th
ult., but his body was not found until Saturday morn-
ing last.
Mr. James Springett, a boat-builder at Putney, de-
posed that the deceased, with whom he was well ac-
quainted, hired a wherry of him about half-past two
o'clock on Friday afternoon week. He was then quite
sober. He had been in the habit of going up the river
every day. for about three weeks, and was fully capable
of managing a boat. Witness never saw deceased alive
after that afternoon, but the next morning he heard that
his boat was at the Crab Tree, and he went after it. It
was not in the least injured, so that the decased could
not have run foul of any craft.
Charles Taylor, of No. 44, Lower Fore-street, Lam-
beth, fisherman, deposed that on Friday evening week,
about five o'clock, he was fishing at Chiswick-eyot, when
he heard a cry of" a man overboard." Upon looking
round he saw the deceased in the water ; he was swim-
ming. Witness rowed towards him and got him into
his boat, and took him ashore at Chiswick. Deceased
said ho had slipped his scull and fell in. Deceased
treated witness and another man to a quart of ale, and
took down his address, promising that he would call upon
him and reward him. Witness said that deceased was
drunk, and when he wanted him to push off his boat for
him he would not do so, as be conceived he was not
capable of managing a boat in the state he was then in.
Witness went away, leaving deceased on shore; he after-
wards heard that he was drowned, and he dragged three
hours for him but without success.
Edward Hawkins stated that about half-past five
o'clock on the evening in question he was fishing at the
lower part of Chiswick-eyot, when he saw deceased in
the water. Witness went to his assistance, took him
into his own boat, and rowed him to the Ship, near the
Hammersmith Water-works. Deceased was very much
intoxicated. He told witness that he had already been
in the water three times, and that the first time ho lost
his coat and the second time his hat. The deceased said
he would sooner have lost his life than his coat. Wit-
ness advised deceased to remain on shore, and refused
to shove his boat off for him, as he considered he would
most likely lose his life if he persisted in going in her
again.
Mr. Bullen observed that a bargeman in the employ
of Mr. Skeel had witnessed the fatal accident, and he
said deceased rolled out of the boat,.
The CORONER said if that was the case he would ad-
journ the inquiry, for it was highly important they should
have direct evidence as to the manner in which deceased
met his death.
The inquiry was then adjourned, after lasting more
than four hours.

FIRE AT CLERHENWELL.—On Saturday evening,
between six and seven o'clock, a fire broke out near
Back-hill, Clerkenwell, in a long range of premises oc-
cupied conjointly by Mr. W. Powell, a large cab proprietor,
and Mr. Waite, a seed merchant. The tire originated in
a part of the building used as the provender stores, and
the place being filled with articles of the most inflam-
mable nature, the progress of the flames was unusually
rapid. Much difficulty was experienced in getting the
horses out in time to save them from destruction ; none,
however, were injured. The floor above the stores con-
tained several thousand pounds' worth of seeds ; the
whole of this valuable property was destroyed in a very
short time. Several engines were quickly on the spot.
The fire was got under in a short space of time, but the
amount of damage done is very considerable.
ACCIDENT AT DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—On
Saturday evening, shortly before seven o'clock, an acci-
dent of an appalling nature occurred in the pit passage
of the above theatre, immediately contiguous to Vinegar-
yard. Several ponderous circular frames of wood,
somewhat similar in appearance to the wheels. of vstaruteer.

injury ; but one, of about twelve years of age, was
crushed, unfortunately, beneath the massive timber. He
was taken up promptly, but almost insensible, one of his
legs having been broken, and his whole person consider-
ably bruised and injured. So dangerous, indeed, was his
ease considered, that no time was lost in conveying the
youthful sufferer to King's College Hospital, Portugal-
str(et, where he now lies in a hopeless condition.
Dr. Wordswprth, head master and lecturer of Har-
row School has been appointed to the stall in Westmin-
ster Abbey, vacant by the death of Archdeacon Bayley.
Dispatches from the Governor of the Cape of Good
Hope, and also from the Governor of the Mauritius,
were received on Saturday at the Colonial-office.
