LARK'S NEW BRILLIANT LIGHT.
C Have you seen it? The nobility, scientific men, and all
who have, admit its positive superiority, and admire its simplicity.
This light causes no smoke, cannot emit blacks, breaks no chimneys,
creates no smell, requires no cleaning, and in its construction is so
simple, that any person can trim it. It is so economical that, while
producing the light of two argand oil lamps, or the light of twenty
candles, it costs no more than two candles.

This perfect lamp fitted to persons' own pedestals, for 23 shillings,
all complete.
To be seen burning at Clark's Lamp Depot, 447, West Strand (op-
osite Warren's Blacking Manufactory).
Clark and Co. have also an improved Oil Lamp used by Govern-
ment, and all the great light houses in the world, and only just now
ntroduced to public notice.
N.B. To prevent imposition, Clark and Co. put their name on all
these lamps.

for their new introduction the REGISTERED PALETOT, which
is a summer overcoat, light in weight, embracing the conve-
nience and comfort of the wrapper of tweed and its moderate
price, without' its_ inelegant and universally admitted common
appearance.
The material is of a peculiar softness, made expressly of the
finest Llama Wool, In its fashion it is neither neglige nor de trop,
but whilst the proportions of the figure are shown to advantage, it
does not in the least degree encumber. free movement, worn either
riding or walking. H. J. and D. Nicoll, sensitive to the importance
of that wade mecum—the outside coat, in a climate so change-
able as that of Great Britain, would not submit the Registered
perfect. It cannot comprolnise that characteristic of an English
Paletot to the public, MI themselves were satisfied of its being
gentleman—the unassumed neatness of his attire ; as a wide ex-
tended sale is sought, the price is Two Guineas. Respectable firms
will alone be treated with, relative to an agency for the sale of the
Registered Paletot. Anticipating a demand, a large number are now
ready.

LRAILWAYS.—At a
Meeting of the Inhabitants of the city of Lincoln, held in the
Theatre, on Thursday, the 3d day of April, 1845,
JOHN COUPLAND, Esq., in the Chair,
the following resolutions were proposed, seconded, and carried unani-
mously :

That petitions to both Houses of Parliament in support of the lines
of railway favourably reported upon by the Board of Trade be pre-
pared for the signature of the citizens generally, and that the Right
Hon. the Earl of Winchilsea be requested to present the peti ion to
the House of Lords, and that the Members for this city be requested
to present the one to the House of Commons.
That the conduct of the Mayor in reference to the meeting of the
inhabitants of this city, held in the Beast-square yesterday, in de-
claring that the show of hands on the resolutions moved and s conded
on behalf of the London and York and the Cambridge and Lincoln
and Direct Northern Railways respectivey was in favour of the
London and York Line, and against the Cambridge and Lincoln and
Direct Northern Lines, was most partial, unfair, and untrue.
That this Meeting condemns the hiring of great numbers of la-
bourers and poor men to attend at the county Meeting, held in the
Castle-yard, on Friday, the 28th ult., and also the attendance at
such Meeting of a great number of persons who were not inhabitants
of the county of Lincoln, but of an adjoining county, by which
means a majority was fraudulently obtained, on the show of hands,
in favour of the London and York Railway, which majority is calcu-
lated to mislead the Legislature and the public ; it being notorious
that a great majority of the freeholders and inhabitants of the
county of Lincoln are strongly in favour of the lines of railway re-
commended by the Board of Trade, and against the London and York
scheme.

That similar means of hiring strangers from among the labouring
and poor men in the county was adopted by the promoters of the
London and York Railway at the Meeting of the inhabitants of this
city, held in the Beast-market yesterday, by which the voice and
opinions of the citizens were attempted to be suppressed.
That the foregoing resolutions be published in "The Times,"
"Morning Chronicle," "Morning Herald," " Sun," and " Globe,"
London newspapers, and in all the county newspapers.
(Signed) JOIIN COUPLAND, Chairman.
The Chairman having left the chair, a vote of thanks to him was
carried by acclamation for his fair and impartial conduct in the chair.

A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER, having a
large and attached connexion with DRAPERS, UPHOL-
STERERS, &c., will be shortly open to an Engagement ; or could
accept of a Commission in either Woollens, Linens, Cabinet Furni-
ture, Glass, Paper-hangings, Floor-cloths, Carpets, &c., in the East,

BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES.
Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London,
JOHN BLTROESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en-
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The gene-
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, '• the genuine," but
without tame or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.
BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom-
mended as a most useful and convenient sauce ; will keep good in all
climates.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
REPORT OF THE RAILWAY DEPARTMENT
OF THE BOARD OF TRADE ON THE
SCHEMES FOR EXTENDING RAILWAY
COMMUNICATION NORTH OF LEEDS, IN
THE WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE, AND
IN THE COUNTY OF DURHAM.
Railway Department, Board of Trade,
Whitehall, March 31, 1845.
The Board constituted by the minute of the Lords of
the Committee of Privy Council for Trade, for the trans-
action of railway business, having bad under considera-
tion the following schemes deposited with the Railway
Department for extending railway communication north
of Leeds, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and in the
county of Durham, viz.:—
Hull and Bridlington Branch Railway;
Harrogate and Ripon Junction ;
Leeds and Thirk;
Middlesborough and Redcar Railway;
Newcastle and Darlington and Brandiing Junction
Extensions;
Richmond (Yorkshire) Railway;
Sunderland, Durham, and Auckland Union Railway;
Wear Valley;
York and North Midland and Harrogate;
York and North Midland, Bridlington Branch ;
have decided on submitting the following report thereon
for the consideration of Parliament.
We first proceed to notice the Railways projected to
supply the district lying between the towns of Leeds and
Thirsk, viz.:---
The Leeds and Thirsk Railway, the Harrogate and
Ripon Junction, and the York and North Midland and
Uarrogate Railway.
At present tlfeloWn Of -Leeds lias-hO railwaycoriimii-
nication with the north but by means of the circuitous
route afforded by the Midland Railway as far as Nor-
manton, the York and North Midland Railway from
Normanton to York, and the Great North of England
Railway from York to Darlington. The district► .so
lying to the west of these lines, comprising the towns of
Knaresborough, Harrogate, and Ripor, together with
several smaller, but not unimportant places, are still un-
supplied with any railway communication.
'1 he situation of the town of Leeds renders it difficult
to be approached by any line from the north, and the
country intermediate between Leeds and Thirsk is of an
unfavourable character as regards the construction of
railways; so that while it was assumed by engineers to
be necessary to obtain good gradients although at a
great sacrifice of labour and expense, parties were de-
terred from encountering the difficulties which presented
themselves.
In 1835, when the project of the Great North of Eng-
land Railway was conceived, Leeds was the point to
which the projectors of that scheme looked as the best
terminus of their line. After a careful examination of
the district, the parties who were anxious to accomplish
this object were. however, alarmed at the appearance of
the surveys and cross-sections, and abandoned the diffi-
cult route to Leeds for the more easily constructed line
to York. subsequently, difficulties as to money pre-
vented the renewal of the project; but these having
ceased, the three companies which we have named desire
to occupy the district.
Commencing at Leeds, the Leeds and Thirsk line runs
nearly parallel to the Bradford and Leeds Railway, for
above 4f miles, then gradually bending towards the
north-east, it crosses the river Wharfe, passes between
Harrogate and Knaresborough, throwing out a branch
to Harrogate, 2 miles 15 chains in length, and another
branch to Knaresborough, 1 mile 40 chains in length ;
then passing by Ripley, and close to Ripon, it crosses
over the Great North of England Railway, to which it is
joined by a curved branch, and enters the town of Thirsk
at a distance of 39f miles from Leeds. The main line
and the branches together comprise about 46f miles o
railway to be made.

The Harrogate and Ripon Junction, when first pro-
jected, had for its object the connexion of the towns of
Harrogate, Knaresborough, and Ripon, with the Great
North of England Railway, in order to give these places
access to the north for coals from the Auckland Valley,
and to York for general traffic. Commencing at the
Raskelf station of the Groat North of England Railway,
it pursues a direct course to near Boroughbridge, whence
it throws off a branch to Ripon. From near Borough-
bridge its course is direct to Knaresborough, near which
town it crosses the Nid, and terminates close to High
Harrogate.
It appears that the Great North of England Railway
Company, who are the promoters of this scheme, being
fearful of the Leeds and Thirsk Railway interfering with
their traffic, and not coming to terms with the projectors
of that scheme, examined the country between Knares-
borough and Leeds, and they allege that a line which
they have discovered through it will be far better, in
every respect, than that which has been proposed by
their rivals. They are not in a condition to meet the
Parliamentary requirements for this session, bat at a
general meeting of the proprietors, resolutions were
passed to the effect, that in the event f Parliament sanc-
tioning the Harrogate and Ripon Junction scheme, they
were prepared to undertake the extension of that line to
Leeds, so as to form a junction with the Midland, the
Leeds and Bradford, and such other railways as might
terminate in a joint station in that town ; and further,
the directors were authorised to take such steps as might
be necessary for the purpose of applying to Parliament,
in the year 1846, for power to carry the project into
operation.

The York and North Midland and Harrogate Railway
is projected by the York and North Midland Company,
and it proceeds through the same district of country as
the line for which they applied to Parliament last ses-
sion ; the principal difference being at the termini, as
the line of last session left the York and North Midland
Railway at Bolton Percy, and terminated at Knaresbo-
rough Old Spa, about midway between Harrogate and
Knaresborough.
The present proposed line commences at the Church
Fenton station, on the York and North Midland Rail-

way, and terminates near the Brunswick Hotel, at Har-

rotate ; passing in its course Tadcaster, Wetherby, and
Spofforth.
Thus we have three distinct schemes, which must be
considered, more or less, as competing with each other.
The Leeds and Thirsk line partially competes with the
Ripon Junction, for the traffic northwards from Harro-

gate, and- directly competes with the more extended
scheme of the Great North of England Railway between
Leeds and Raskelf ; while southwards from Harrogate,
an indirect competition may be said to exist between the
substantive schemes of the Leeds and Thirsk line, and
the York and North Midland Branch to Harrogate, and
the less matured scheme of the Great North of England
Railway Company.
The accompanying map explains the geographical cir-
cumstances of these projects.
With regard to the Leeds and Thirsk line, as com-
pared with the line from Leeds to Rask@lf, it will be seen
that the former approaches to within three or four miles
of Utley, a place of some importance ; it passes through
Ripley, and places Ripon upon the main line, but affords
only indifferent accommodation to Knaresborough, and
avoids Wetherby and Boroughbridge altogether.
The Great North of England scheme places Knares-
borough and Boroughbridge on the main line, and gives
a reasonable connexion with Ripon by means of the
branch to that town, but does not supply Harrogate quite
so well as the Leeds and Thirsk line, and altogether
avoids Otley and Ripley.
The chief difference, however, between the two lines
is to be found in their engineering characters, and con-
sequently in their cost respectively.
The number of miles of new Railway which each will
have to make is as follows :
Leeds and Thirsk.

Hence there is a saving of 8 miles 42 chains of new rail-

from Knaresborough to Leeds by the Great North of
England Railway scheme, there is only one tunnel, and
that of 1,706 yards in length, which gives a saving of
2,248 yards of tunnelling in favour of the latter scheme.
The Leeds and Thirsk Railway involves viaducts to
the extent of 1,168 yards. The lengths of the viaducts
on the extension from Knaresborough to Leeds are not
given; but on the whole line they will be less than on the
Leeds and Thirsk, which crosses the River Crimple at a
much higher elevation, and the Leeds and Liverpool
Canal, as well as the River Aire twice, while the Great
North of England line only crosses it once: in this re-
spect, however, there may not be any great difference
between the two projects.
With regard to the earthworks: those on the Leeds
and Thirsk Railway for 16 miles are very heavy, as there
are cuttings of 79. 103, 70, and 56 feet in extreme depth,
including the approaches on each side of the two tunnels
before mentioned, and embankments of 80, 79, 63, and
83 feet in extreme height, including those on each side
of the viaducts; for 8 miles they are about an average,
for 5 miles rather under an average, and for 8 miles they
are very trifling; making altogether 37 miles of railway
exclusive of tunnels, viaducts, and branches, to be con-

trasted with 3li miles on the line projected by
the Great North of England Company, exclusive
also of branches, viaducts, and tunnels, of which there
will be four miles very heavy, involving cuttings
of 45, 56, 66 and 68 feet in depth, including the ap-
proaches on each side of the tunnel before mentioned,
and embankments of 36, 37, 40 and 48 feet in extreme
height :
_ .

For the improvement of the main line about 21 miles
of new railway will be required ; for the Durham and
other branches, about 31 miles ; and for the extension
to Bishop Auckland, about 91 miles.
Several coal-fields will be opened out by this project,
and railway accommodation will be afforded for the
transit of coal towards the port of Sunderland, as well as
for passenger and other traffic between Bishop Auckland
and Newcastle, Shields and Sunderland.
At present the Stockton and Darlington Railway has
an extension, termed the Weardale Railway, which
passes through Bishop Auckland, serving that district,
and supplying the neighbouring collieries with transit
for coal to the mouth of the Tees, at a very low charge.
But there are collieries in the district near to which it
has not been possible to bring the Stockton and Darling-
ton Railway, whose owners desire an outlet for their
coals, either at Sunderland or Hartlepool.
Considering, therefore, that the proposed line will ac-
commodate collieries now either only partially accommo-
dated, or wholly unaccommodated ; that it may be made
at a moderate cost ; that there is a prospect of its proving
remunerative to the projectors, and that the alterations
of the original line are very desirable, we are induced to
report that there are no public reasons which, in our
opinion ought to be decisive against the scheme.
The Newcastle and Darlington and Brandling Junc-
tion Extensions are three in number :
The first is at Darlington, and is for the purpose of
giving additional accommodation at the station.
The second extension is 5 miles 1 chain in length. It
leaves the Brandling Junction near the Pelaw station,
and joins the Durham Junction Railway
.at Washington
station, cutting off a very acute angle in the intended
main trunk line by the east coast to Scotland, and eflect
ing a saving in the distance of fully two miles. Itsi
curves and gradients are favourable, and the work will
be light.
The third extension is only 52 chains long, at Monk.
wearmouth, and is intended chiefly for a mineral traffic;
it establishes a connexion with
i the river Wear by an in-
cline of 1 in 5, which takes t out of the character of a
passenger line on that particular part.
We do not know that any reasons exist which ought
to prevent these extensions receiving the sanction of
Parliament.ln

In submitting to Parliament, in conformity with the
recommendations of that Committee, the results at which
we have arrived, with a view to the information and
assistance of Parliament in forming a judgment upon the
schemes in question, in so far as our report may be
available for that purpose, we are anxious that it should
be distinctly understood that we have arrived at these
results solely upon public grounds, and to the exclusion
of all considerations how far such results might require
to be modified by a due regard for private rights and
interests.

FATAL GUN ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday morning
two boys, sons of Thomas Jones, Esq., of Rowley, one about
thirteen years, the other not more than eight years of age,
were out shooting in a field near the house. The eldest
having got the ram-rod fastened in the barrel of the gun,
the youngest came to his assistance, and was pulling at the
ram-rod, the eldest having hold of the stock of the gun,
when, unfortunately, the gun went off, literally sending the
rod through the body of the youngest. The unfortunate
sufferer was not dead at the time we received this informa-
tion, but not the slightest hope is entertained of his recovery.

FUNERAL OF SIR TROMAS POTTER, BART.—The
funeral of this much respected Baronet took place last week
at Ardwick Cemetery, near Manchester. The procession
which followed the deceased to the burying-ground was

respect to the late Dr. Dalton, the largest ever known in Man-
cheater.

!,/*"

10-1 miles of heavywork.
6 miles about an verage.
3 miles easy.
8 miles very easy.
From this it is manifest, that the earthworks on the
Leeds and:Thirsk line would far exceed inextent those
on the line proposed by the Great North of England
Railway Company.
It is clear, therefore, that the cost of the Leeds and
Thirsk line would be much more than the cost of the line
proposed by the Great North of England Company (every
important consideration, because the traffic between Leeds
and Thirsk, and in the intermediate district, is not so
great as to justify any outlay beyond such as may be
absolutely necessary to accomplish the end in view),
while the accommodation offered by the latter is almost,
if not quite, as great, on the whole, as by the former.
Under these circumstances, we are of opinion, there
are public reasons which justify us` in recommending
that the Leeds and Thirsk scheme should be postponed.
The Harrogate and Ripon Junction is a line which
may be constructed at a small cost, and would enable the
towns of Ripon, Boroughbridge, Knaresborough, and
Harrogate, to participate in the advantage which has
been conferred by the Great North of England Railway
on the places near which it passes, in respect of coal
brought from the Auckland Valley. If the line were
constructed, the price of this necessary article would be
reduced from 15 to 25 per cent. below its present price
at these places.
But sanctioning the scheme in question would be tan-
tamount to placing a barrier against any other project
for giving direct and extensive railway accommodation
between Leeds and the north, except by that which has
been contemplated by the Great North of England Rail-
way Company. A delay would allow of the country
being more carefully examined, and a ccmprehensive
measure, less costly, and affording greater accommoda-
tion than either, might be brought forward.
We are, therefore, of opinion, that there are public
reasons which are sufficient to induce the postponement,
for the present at least, of the Harrogate and Ripon
Junction.
We have stated the general direction which is pro-
posed to be taken by the York and North Midland and
Harrogate Railway; its gradients are, on the whole,
unfavourable, especially on one part, where there is a
confirmed inAine of,4rtblielsr-„Ygning.,fratri itillTcto 1
in 101, excepting on an intervening portion of 1 in 161,
the last being too shert to effect any useful break in the
incline. There is one viaduct 300 yards long, and 118
feet high. Of the earthworks, one mile is very heavy,
11 miles are about an average, and seven miles are light.
Were this the only railway project in the district, we
should be of ()pinion that there would be no public rea-
sons which ought to be decisive against it ; it accommo-
dates Tadcaster, Wetherby, and Spofforth, and it gives
reasonable accommodation to persons visiting Harro-
gate from the south and from the east ; but, as it is a
partially competing line with the other two, a less com-
prehensive measure than either of them, and if sanc-
tioned now might lead to the town of Leeds being left
without railway communication to the north, we are of
opinion that the York and North Midland and Harro-
gate Railway should likewise be postponed.
The Richmond (Yorkshire) Railway is a line of an
inexpensive character, in length 9 miles 57 chains. It
proposes to leave the Great North of England Railway
a short distance to the south of the Tees, and to termi-
nate at Richmond; it will be worked by the Great North
of England Railway. We have examined the traffic
tables which have been presented to us by the promoters,
and they appear to us to justify the undertaking. On
the whole, therefore, we are not aware that any public
reasons exist which ought, in our opinion, to be decisive
against this scheme being sanctioned by Parliament.
The Hull and Bridlington Branch of the Hull and
Selby Railway is 31 miles in length : it is projected for
the purpose of accommodating the towns of Beverley,
Great Driflield, and Bridlington. The line will be par-
ticularly easy of construction, and calls for no engineer-
ing remarks. The traffic tables justify the outlay, and
on the whole there do not appear to us to be any public
reasons why the scheme: in question should not receive
the sanction of Parliament.
The Middlesborough and Redcar Railway is a scheme
put forward by the Great North of England Railway
Company, and the Stockton and Darlington Railway,
Company, jointly. The line commences at the town of
Middlesborough, and running along the south bank of
the Tees, terminates at Redcar, a favourite watering
place on the coast at the mouth of that river. It will be
made at a very moderate cost: the local feeling appears
to be in favour of the project; and, on the whole, we
know of no public reasons which ought to be decisive
against the scheme receiving the sanction of Parlia-
ment.
The York and North Midland (Bridlington Branch)
is thrown out from the York and Scarborough Railway,
which received the sanction of Parliament last year, and
is now in course of construction. The branch will be
about 20 miles in length: its cost will be moderate; and
it seems to be a natural extension of the Scarborough
Railway. Meeting the Hull and Bridlington Branch of
the Hull and Selby Railway at Bridlington, it completes
a useful chain of coast communication in this part of
Yorkshire. We are not aware that there are any public
reasons which might to be decisive against its receiving
the sanction of Parliament.
The Wear Valley Railway is designed chiefly to open
out the upper part of the valley of the Wear, which is
rich in minerals, in connexion with the Bishop Auckland
and Weardale, and the Stockton and Darlington ex-
isting railways, and to give accommodation to Wol-
singham and Stanhope, which are rapidly increasing in
extent and population. The main line is 10 miles 55
chains, terminating at Frosterley, and has a branch to
Bishopley. 1 mile 18 chains in length. It will be worked
by the railway companies which we have just mentioned,
in connexion with the scheme. No public reasons have
been given to us why this project ought not to receive the
sanction of Parliament.
The Sunderland, Durham, and Auckland Union pro-
ject has three objects in view; one to extend the present
Sunderland and Durham Railway to Bishop Auckland,
under the above title; another, to convert the original
line, which has been worked in certain places with sta-
tionary engines, into a locomotive line, by improving
the gradients and rounding off angles or sharp curves.
Two short inclines, however, will still continue to be
worked with stationary engines. The third is to make
branches, one for the purpose rof effecting :an improved
communication with the city of Durham, one to connect
the present main line with the Newcastle and Darlington
Railway at the Sherburn station, and one to improve the
junction with the Hartlepool Railway in the township of
Haswell.
