(With power to add to their number.)
This Company is originated on data supplied by official returns,
obtained from a majority of the leading cities and towns in the king-
dom, exhibiting an almost nominal risk in drapers' establishments,
and is based upon the principle of excluding all extra hazardous
risks ; but power is intended to be vested in the Directors to accept
(if they think proper) applications for general insurances, where the
risks can be clearly shown not to exceed that of a general draper's es-
blishment.
The effect of a preliminary canvass has been to obtain large pro-
mises of support in different districts, both by intended insurances
and subscription for shares. It is believed, also, that (rejecting all
extra risks) the Directors will be in a condition to materially reduce
the premiums payable for insurances.
A small portion only Of the capital is intended to be called for, and
the proprietors are to be entitled to interest on the same, and to one-
third of the clear profits ; one-third being also retained to consti-
tute a sinking fund, and one-third distributed in bonuses amongst the
assured.:
The liability of the shareholders to be effectually limited to the
amount of their subscription to the Company, the usual protective
clause being inserted in all policies issued.
It is, intended to give .a preference in the allotment of shares to
parties interested in the drapery business, and an early day is ap-
pointed for the allotment.
All applications to be made in the under-mentioned form, and ad-
dressed to Messrs. Sale and Worthington, solicitors, 90, Fountain-
street; or to Messrs. Duffield, Lofthouse, and Whitworth, accountants,
12, Princes-street, Manchester.

PROSPECTUS.
This Railway is intended to commence at or near to Derby, and
passing through the rich Mineral Districtof Itilburne, Denby, Codn r
Park, and Pinxton, to proceed to Mansfield and East Retford, and
terminate at Gainsborough ; thus completing a direct trunk Line of
Railway across the kingdom from the Humber to the Severn, and
forming the nearest route that can be taken between the important
Ports of Gainsborough, Hull, Great-Grimsby and the Midland
Counties, Derby, the Potteries, Birmingham, Gloucester, Bristol, &c.
An Act of Parliament has just passed for the formation of the
Bailway from Gainsborough to Great Grimsby, with a Branch to
New Holland, opposite to Hull.
The proposed Railway from Derby to Gainsborough will proceed
in a direction not contemplated by any other Company, and will
neither compete with any existing projects, nor oppose them ; it
will traverse a country through which the want of railway com-
munication is seriously felt, and along which this project has been
most cordially received.
The traffic from local sources in the neighbourhood of Derby alone
will be immense.. The conveyance Of the mineral wealth of the ex-
tensive and flourishing Iron-works and Collieries between Derby and
Pinxton (a district which, for its productiveness, stands unrivalled
throughout-the United Kingdom), and of Coals from the Portland
Colliery, will yield an amount of revenue which, could it be exactly
stated, would seem rather a gross exaggeration than a fact; while
from Mansfield, celebrated for its first rate building stone, and tha
superior quality of its lime, and from the agricultural districts be-
tween Mansfield and Retford, and thence to Gainsborough, the traffic
in oilcake and tillage, barley, and other agricultural produce, will he
scarcely less important—insuring to the promoters of this under-
taking a highly remunerating income.
Independently, however, of these local sources of revenue, which
alone would amply justify the formation of the line, the through traffic,
consisting of the manufactures of Birmingham, the earthenware of
Staffordshire, and the varied produce of other towns in the Midland
and Western Counties, to the ports of Gainsborough, Hull, and
Great Grimsby, for exportation, with the return of timber, deals, and
other Baltic and foreign commodities, cannot fail to be most produc-
tive, whilst at the same time the proposed railroad offers to passengers
to Hull, &c., a saving of thirty miles of distance over the present route.
The Great-Grimsby Railway Company who have obtained their
Act for making the line from Gainsborough to Great Grimsby, have
made arrangements with the Dock Company there to form (under
the sailed m of an Act of the Legislature) but one concern, and they
intend to render Great Grimsby, by a large outlay of capital, a sea-
port of the first importance.
A general survey of the country has been already made, and no
engineering difficulties whatever present themselves. A line could
scarcely be found which would so little alter the features of the
country. It does not interfere with any ornamental grounds, or
existing navigation, and can be made at a comparatively small cost.
It gives the utmost accommodation to the collieries, ironworks, 8r.c..;
near which it passes, and it does not cross any turnpike-road on a
level, a circumstance which is much to be desired. The gradients
on the line are exceedingly favourable, and it will pass through, and
near to, several excellent stone quarries, well adapted for brilge
building, and the ballast throughout will be found on the line.
The greatest respect will be paid to the residence and domains of
the nobility and gentry in the neighbourhood through which the line
will run, in order to avoid their being prejudicially interfered with.
Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 4/.
per cent. per annum, on all deposits and calls until the opening of the
line, and the liability of the shareholders will be limited to the
amount of their subscriptions.
Application for shares, in the following form, accompanied by a
banker's or other satisfactory reference, may be addressed to the so-
licitors, or' to the undermentioned share-brokers, from whom pros-
pectuses, &c., may be obtained.

RAILWAY INTELLIbENCE.
YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND.
YORK, WEINESDAY.—Y, sterday afternoon the half-yearly
general meeting of the above Company was held in the board-
room, at the station in this city. There was an extremely
large attendance of Shareholders. Mr. George Hudson took
the chair. The following is an extract from the report :
"The Directors have the satisfaction of presenting to the
Proprietors the usual statement of accounts for the half-year
ending the 30th of June last, showing a balance in favour of
the Company of 49,3071. 15s. The Directors recommend
that a dividend be declared after the tate of 101. per cent. upon
the original 50s. and 251. shares, and after the same rate upon
the new shares created for the Leeds and Selby purchase, de-
ducting interest at 41. per cent. on the amount not called up
on those shares. The total amount of dividend will be 44,220/.
(which it is proposed to pay without deduction for property-
tax), leaving a surplus of 5,087/. 15s. to the credit of the
Company. The threeters bayesto report to the Proprietors
that, during the present session of Parliament, the royal
assent has been given to the following Acts of which this-
Company were the promoters, viz :—‘ An Act for enabling
the York and North Midland Railway Company to alter
the line of the York and Scarborough ttaiiway near
the city of York ; for authorising the !sale of the Whitby and
Pickering Railway to the York and North Midland Railway
Company, and for enabling the said Company to make certain
deviations or alterations in the line of the Whitby and Picker-
ing Railway; for enabling the York and North Midland Railway
Company to make a branch railway from theline of the York and
Scarborou ;It Railway, in the township cf Seamer, to Bridling-
ton; for enabling the York and North Midland Railway Com •
piny to make a railway from the line of the York and North
Midland Railway to Ilarrogate.' Thus adding sixty-four
miles of railway to the length of line previously under the
management of the York and North Midland Company. The
Directors congratulate the proptietors upon the auspicious
opening of the Scarborough branch, the traffic upon which has
fully equalled their expectations. They add the usual cash
statements, and also the following details of the traffic for the
last half year, viz.:—Passengers: first class 39,643, second
class 59,701 Va, third class 119,756; total 219,1001/2. Horses
1,941, carriages 490, dogs 496, cattle 10,678, pigs and calves
2,609, sheep 52,469. Goods 121,934 tons; coke, stone, &c.,
11,025, coal 22,346, lime 3,315 ; total 158,620 tons."
The CHAIRMAN then addressed the meeting, and said—
The results of the past half year cannot fail to be satisfactory
to you, as we are enabled to pay you a dividend equal to that
which we anticipated when we last met you. There is every
prospect that, on the termination of this half year, there will
be left a surplus as large as that of the corresponding half of
last year. No doubt in the next session we shall be enabled
further to extend our line; and we have a fair chance of ob-
taining, an important link in the Pocklingten and Beverley dis-
trict. We intend immediately to have the various lines which
have been granted to us staked out, and I confidently hope that
we shall be able, by this time next year, to open a portion, if
not the whole, of these lines.—(Cheers.) We have cause to
congratulate our Shareholders on the splendid prospects which
have been opened to them by the opening of the York and
Scarborough line.—(Hear.) That line will, in my opinion,
be one of the most productive in the kingdom. We do not, as
you are aware, carry coal upon it yet, as we were anxious,
in opening it so soon, to give the public this summer an
easy mode of communication to one of the most delightful
water.ng place• in the country. We have executed the
lease of the Hull and Selby line, and it has received
the seal of the Company. The line is now worked under the
management of the York and North Midland Company, and in
the returns of the receipts those on the Hull line are included.
It requires 1,000/. a week for the rent of the line, and, deduct-
ing that and the working expenses from the receipts, the re-
mainder will be applicable to the dividend of the York and
North Midland Company. There is in that, I think, a fair pros-
pect of the present dividend being continued. I have seen
lately some observations which have been made with resaect to
the accidents which have recently occurred on some of the rail-
ways. I believe that as long as the human mind is subject to
error, accidents will occur front causes which Directors of
companies cannot avoid. But depend upon it that you will
have them much more frequently it you have lines such as have
been granted this session, constructed with very bad gradients.
It has been said in the House of Commons that one out of 150
is not a bad gradient; in fact, I believe it has been said that it
is a good gradient, or, at all events, that it is not objection
able. On the lines to which I have referred, the gradients will
be such as to require an engine behind the trains as well
as in front. Accidents frequently occur in consequence of
this, which it makes one shudder to think of. On the lines
over which I preside, we never allow the locomotive to be be-
hind the train. I think the practice is attended with the utmost
danger. I do not mean to say that it ought never to be re-
sorted to, but it should only be at stations and other places
where the trains go slowly. See the Croydon line—an engine
is placed behind every train, as well as one in front. Suppose
a sudden stoppage took place of the engine in front, the engine
behind, if it bad any power at all on, would double up the train.
I can conceive nothing more objectionable than for Parlia-
ment to sanction bad gradients, when better might be obtained ;
for the public, when bad gradients are sanctioned, are deprived
of the advantages attendant upon the improvement of the loco-
motive engine. It is gratifying, indeed, to find that the York
and North Midland has been so free front accidents. We
have had only one collision since the line was opened—we have
had but one fatal accident. I do not say this boastingly, but
in a spirit of thankfulness. Sir Robert Peel the other night
said that something ought to be done to teach Directors of
railways due responsibility. Had he known half the anxiety
and care which exists in my mind when an accident does
occur, I am confident that he would not feel that there was
any necessity for placing greater responsibility upon us
titan at present exists. I will not allude to the London and
York. Lord Brougham, although he is very funny, and has
no harm in him, has, I think, been rather mistaken in his de-
fence of the subscription contract of the London and York. I
know myself one case in which a minor signed the deed for
67,0001. Of course the deed is not binding on such a party.
I do not, however, think that this is the proper way to attack
a company. We go to the merits of the case, but we were not
allowed to go into the merits of our own case. I regret the
decision which the London and York Committee came to, as
I think it is wrong. We took every care, however, to have
our case heard, and we must submit to that tribenal which
has a right to decide upon the matter. There is another ap-
peal, and in that I trust that we shall be more fortunate. We
were put to great expense in appearing before the Committee
of the House of Commons, and all to no purpose, as we were
not allowed to be heard. We intend to petition the Speaker
for a return of the fees which we paid, as the House of Com-
mons would surely not refuse to give us a hearing and take our
money as well.—( Cheers.) I trust that whatever may come
to pass, we shall always be in a position to pay you your pre-
sent dividend ; and if.we can do that we need not care much
who makes new lines. We may cry content while we get our
dividend. If the London and York can get ten per cent.
without interfering with us, I, for one, shall not regret it. I
always feel rejoiced to see my neighbours succeed in any un-
dertaking in which they may embark.
r he Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst loud applause.
The resolution adopting the report was carried unanimously,
and a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. was then declared and
made payable on the 19th inst.
The CHAIRMA N said the next resolution was a formal one,
to sanction the pdrchase of the Whitby and Pickering Railway.
The Bill authorising the purchase had received the royal assent.
They were already proceeding with the relaying of the line. It '
had been said that this Company had the control of almost all
the ports in the kingdom, but i,e trusted that whatever power
they possessed they would use it to the benefit of the public ;
for unless they did so, they would not retain their power long.
The resolution was passed.
The CHAIRMAN said the next resolution had reference to the
extension shares. They intended to lay down a double line of
rails to Scarborough, as the traffic fully justified such a step.
They hoped to have the double line laid down to Mahon in the
course of six or eight weeks, as in all probability the acts which
had received the royal assent would swallow up all the money
which had been received on the extension shares ; there would
therefore be new creations of York stock.
The resolution, which was merely formal, to provide for the
registration of the shares, was then put and carried.
TESTIMONIAL TO MR. GEORGE STEPHENSON.
The CHAIRMAN said the next resolution which he had to
submit was one which had passed one of the largest meetings
which the Midland Company ever held. It had reference to
Mr. George Stepenson.—( Hear, hear.) That gentleman had
peculiar claims upon this Company, as it was to his fostering
care that they were indebted tor their present prosperity.
When this Company was in difficulties, he it was who came
forward, and at a time when parties refused to register their
scrip, induced his friends to come into the undertaking, and
purchased largely himself. But his claims stood upon far
higher grounds than those, namely, the great benefits which
he had conferred upon his fellow-men.—(Cheers.) The re-
solution was, that that Company do concur with the Midland,
the Newcastle, and Darlington Company in erecting a statue
to Mr. George Stephenson, and in presenting him with a ser-
vice of plate, and that the Company do subscribe 2,000/. for
that purpose.—( Cheers. )
The motion was carried amidst much applause.
The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a Proprietor, said Scarborough
t to a vi.
stock would stand in the same position with re
dend as the old stock, and the Directors would,Leisolidate dithe
new shares into stock at the next meeting.
TESTIMONIAL TO MR:
Mr. JENNINGS then proposed a similar resolution
resolution to that
• which was passed at the last meeting of the Midland for a tes-
timonial to Mr. Hudson.
Mr. G. WALKER seconded the motion, which was carried
amidst loud applause.
The ClrAlßrtnN briefly returned thanks.
A vote of thanks to the Chairman and Directors closed the
proceedings.
NEWCASTLE AND DARLINGTON.
The half-yearly meeting of this Company was held immedi-
ately on the close of the York and North Midland Company's
meeting, and in the same room.
Mr. Hudson again took the chair.
Mr. CLOSE then read the report of the Directors, as
follows :
" The Directors have much satisfaction in referring the Pro-
prietors to the accompanying statement:of their accounts for the
half-year ending the 30th of June last, showing a balance in

The Committee of Management have the satisfaction of announcing
to the Shareholders, that, as expected, Parliament will he prorogued
without coming to a final decision upon ally of the competing
schemes. The Committee regard their prospects with increased con-
fidence, being convinced that the merits of their undertaking Nvi 11
fully justify the report of the Board of Trade, viz., that " it is de-
cidedly preferable to the Sheffield and Lincoln, and the Sheffield
branch of the London and York." Application will. be made for an
