THE DIRECT LONDON AND HOLYHEAD
AND PORT DYNLLAEN RAILWAY.

(Provisionally Registered),

- _
The public is respectfully informed that a Company Is in course of
formation for establishing a direct communication between London
and Holyhead and London and Port Dynllaen, thereby effecting
the shortest possible communication between London, Birmingham,and the centre of England,. and Dublin and the whole of Ireland.
On reference to the Railway Map of Ireland it will be seen that
most of the lines in that country converge either at Dublin or Wick-
low, the former being nearly in a direct line with Holyhead and the
latter with Port Dynllaen. This undertaking will therefore unite in
one main line the whole of the Irish traffic to this country; and when
the system of railway communication in Ireland is complete, will
doubtless obtain a very large proportion of the American passenger
traffic which will then pass by Port Dynllaen and Wicklow to Va-
lentia Bay as the nearest point to the United States and our North
American colonies.
The present line is in effect nearly identical with that recom-
mended by the Government Commissioners in their reports on the
communication between London and Dublin, and which was then
surveyed with much care; making allowances, however, for the al-
tered circumstances that have since occurred by the increase of
railways in this country, and availing itself as far as possible of ex-
isting or contemplated lines.
It is intended to proceed by the London and Birmingham Railway
to Birmingham, and thence by one of the now projected lines to
Shrewsbury, or another course will be by the London and Birming-
ham, Trent Valley, Trent Valley and Shrewsbury Railways to the
same point, where this railway commences, and proceeds in the
most direct practicable course to a point near Balla, where the line
forts ; one branch proceeding to Bangor, where it unites with the
Chester and Holyhead ai.d North Wales Railways, employing the
former line to Holyhead, and thus avoiding the enormous expense
entailed by crossing the Menai Staits ; the other branch proceeding
through a district rich in slate, stone, minerals, &e., by Tremadoc to
Port Dynllaen, where it will also unite with the North Wales
Railway, which will prove a valuable adjunct to the present
ptoject.
The importance of the undertaking, not only to the great com-
panies to which it will prove so important a feeder, but also in a
national point of view, as effecting a most considerable saving of
time and expense on the route to Dublin and the coast of Ireland,
are too great to be overrated, and too obvious to be required to be
insisted upon. It is clear that the traffic must be unusually large,
and from the surveys made there appears no doubt that the line can
be constructed at an average cost.
Full particulars, with the names of a most influential Provisional
Committee, will be published as soon as a correct estimate of the
requisite capital is obtained, and in the meantime no applications for
shares can be received.

This railway is intended to connect the South Wales Railway at
Chepstow with Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Birmingham, with the
projected Cheltenham, Oxford (and London direct), Gloucester, and
Aberystwith, Northampton and Cheltenham, and Manchester and
Southampton Railways ; thus forming an uninterrupted lino of com-
►nunication from the South of Ireland, through Fishgard and Milford
in Pe►nbrokeshire, to Gloucester, Cheltenham, Oxford, and London
direct, Southampton, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the
North of England, by a less circuitous route than can be effected by
any of the projected plans for crossing the Severn below Gloucester,
thereby avoiding the difficulties which must necessarily be encoun-
tered in such an undertaking, and affording the important towns and
districts upon the intended lines that accommodation which their im-
portance entitles them to.
The whole of the traffic upon the South Wales line passing to the
Eastward of Chepstow will be carried on this line ; added to which
the coal and mineral traffic ftom the Forest of Dea►► (which, from
the Eastern side to Gloucester, has been estimated upon authentic
documents and information, at upwards of 300,000 tons; and from
the Western or Lydney and Chepstow side the same amount of traffic
may safely be calculated upon), amounting to 600,000 tons per an-
num (the produce of the Forest alone), must be carried upon the line,
independent of the local passenger traffic and an extended trade in
the produce of the Forest, which will necessarily follow the facilities
offered by the proposed railroad.
The revenue from this source alone will give a very handsome di-
vidend upon the capital to be expended, which is expected will not
exceed three-fourths of the intended capital.
It is proposed to make branches to the Collieries and Iron Works
in the Forest, to the present or any new Ports which may suggest
themselves on the Severn ; and to make the River Wye, at Chep-
stow, the port of foreign export, where vessels of any size can enter
free from the dangers and difficulties attendant upon the navigation
of the Severn, consequent upon the rocks and shifting sands in that
river.

It is intended to build a bridge across the Severn at Gloucester,
which will in no way obstruct the navigation; and the proposed
Gloucester and Aberyatwith Company will no doubt be ready to join
this Company in the expense; if they obtain their Act. The cost of
the intended line from Chepstow to Gloucester, including the bridge
at Gloucester, and the ono over the River Wye, at Chepstow, to join
the South Wales, with branches to the Collieries, Iron Works, and
the Severn, is not expected to exceed 450,0001., but it is intended to
provide a capital of 600,0001. to meet any contingencies which may
arise.

A reference to the map will show the self-evident importance of
this line as essential to the perfecting the great project of the South
Wales Railway Company (who have obtained their Act of Parlia-
ment for a railroad from Fishguard and Milford Haven to Chepstow)
n connecting it with the principal railways of the kingdon#, at
Gloucester, and making it the direct road to London, via Cheltenham
and Oxford, for effecting which projects are now before the public
with most infinential support. The line is twenty-six miles in
length, has no engineering difficulties; the gradients and curves are
extremely good, and works light.
It may with very great confidence be asserted, that there is
scarcely a short line of railroad in the kingdom which offers
greater advantages to the Shareholders than the present. Pro-

-At a meeting of the Committee of Management of this under-
taking, held this day, it was resolved that, in order to comply with
the standing orders of the House of Lords, as recently altered, it is
expedient to reduce the amount of each share to 201., and to extend
the number to 50,000, and that the deposit required be 21. 26. on each
share, and that, in consequence of this alteration in the amount and
number of shares and the deposit required, the period within which
shares must be applied for be extended to the 28th instant for tlis
London applications, and to the 30th instant for country applications.

It has long been considered strange, butsucii is the fact, that in
the large and important districts of North Lancashire and Craven,
which may be termed provinces, or almost counties, in themselves,
no public Fire and Life Assurance Company has yet been established,
although comprising property of every description of hazard to an al-
most incalculable amount.
It is therefore proposed to found a Society or Company, to be
called the NORTH LANCASIIIRE and CRAVEN ASSOR %NCB
COMPANY, under the provisions of the above Act, which will give
to the public all the benefits of a mutual Assurance Company, and
secure to the Shareholders a reasonable amount of profit.
The Company will be organised, and Its rules and regulations de-
fined, by a deed of settlement, to be made pursuant to the Act re-
ferred to, and proper measures will be taken for the purpose of re-
stricting the liability of each Shareholder to the amount of his or her
subscriptions respectively.
By the Act above referred to for the registration of Insurance Com-
panies, not more than ten shillings per cent. is allowed to be called
for until the full registration of the Company; conscqtlently a deposit
of two shillings per share only will be called for on the allotment.
Applications for Shares may be made to the Solicitors, or to Henry
Alcock, Esq., Solicitor, Skipton ;lot' to the following Brokers :—Mr.
John Gibbins, Settle; Mr. Thomas Boardman, Blackburn; Mr.
Thomas Wren, Preston; Mr. Welch, Lancaster; Messrs. Ridsdale,

THE RISE and PROGRESS of the HYGEIAN
or MORISONIAN SYSTEM of MEDICINE.

Messrs. MORISON, of the British College of Health, New-road,
London, consider that there cannot be a stronger proof of the rise
and progress of the Morisonian System than the number of vege-
table purgative pills which we see daily advertised under different
names in the newspapers, all of which proceed upon that system.
The following extract of a letter just received from Mr. William
Willis, of Wlnchcomb, Gloucestershire, Messrs. Morison's agent for
that place, shows at once the importance of the question at issue be-
tween Hygeists and Doctors :

" I must now say that I feel exceedingly happy in being able to
testify to the efficacy of the Universal Medicine ; it has done that in
Winchcomb which the diplomaed doctors, under the organic theory.
could not do ; it has fetched a man out of the union workhouse, and
sent him to provide for himself with his own hands. The disease
under which he was suffering was the Evil. After taking pills and
powders to the amount of 11. 10s. 6d., he was enabled to go forth and
seek his own livelihood. You may ask how did he get them ?
can tell you ; I never had anything for them. But for this I care
not ; my object in becoming your agent is, not that I may get gain.
but to establish a system which I believe to be founded in truth—
truth always did stand, and always will.
(Signed) "WILLIAM WILLIS, Ilygeist,
" Aug. 19, 1845. but no Doctor."
Messrs. 31orison deem it their duty to inform the public, that Sir
James Graham's Bill recognises, to its fullest extent, the medical
liberty of the subject, and is quite against the principle of doctors
making a trade of their medical advice. On this ground, therefore,
Sir James deserves the support of all true liy-geists.

A BATCH OF ONE POUND NOTES.—On Friday,
632/. was paid into the Bank in one pound notes by the trus-
tees to the will of James Satcherley, an old man (a beggar ),
who died in a cellar in Shadwell some weeks back. After his
decease the above notes, together with other moneys, were
found concealed, with a species of will, in a cupboard. The
notes must have been hoarded many years.
DEPLORABLE SUICIDE. While the Dundee
steamer was on its passage from that place to Edinburgh, on
Thursday last, a woman on board suddenly took off her bonnet
and shoes, and before anybody was aware of her intention
jumped overboard. The captain immediately stopped and put
about the steamer, but the unfortunate woman had sunk and
was seen ne more. The name " Margaret Miller" was in.
scribed on the inside of her shoes.—Edinburgh Evening Post.
NEW NOVEL, BY HORACE SMITH, ESQ.-IV, are

street, has this day published " Love and Mesmerism," by

THE ROYAL VICTORIA THEATRE. —We perceive
that Mr. C. Lawrence (late of the English Opera) will take a
' benefit at the above theatre this evening. The bill of fare
is of a very attractive character. There cannot be a doubt but
that Mr. Lawrence will have a bumper, and he deserves it.
