MACKENZIE, PATERSON, AND CO.
REPORT TO THE IHAREHOLDERii.
Your Directors hive the satisfaction to announce the amalgama-
tion of eight principal Companies to competition for the lease of this
Railway.
Among these competitors, your Company occupied a proud posi-
tion. They net only presented a subscription list of the very first
class, and comprising mach that was calculated to inspire public
confidence, but a depeiit fund, amounting to 6,425,000 f., or more
than double the caution-money required by the French Government.
It is gratifying to your Directors that, by common consent, even
amongst their competitors, the first place was conceded to yoar Coin-

ALLOCATION OF SIIARES.
The Committee of Management have now the satisfaction to in-
form the subscribers and the public that the Plans, Sections, and
Books of Reference of: this undertaking have been completed, and de-
posited in compliance with the standing orders of the two Houses of
Parliament, which will enable them to apply for an Act in the en-
suing session ; and as none of the ether lines projected to Hawick
(including the London and Edinburgh Direct and Darlington and
Ilawick Junction Railway) have lodged their Plans and Sections
in conformity with the Standing Orders, this Company is, therefore,
tke only one in a position to apply to Parliament in the ensuing Ses-
sion for powers to make a Railway by the midland route to Edin-
burgh and Glasgow.
The Committee have also much pleasure in stating that the result
of their surveys is such as completely to answer the objections which
hare been made to their line in various quarters, and that they are
cofirmed in the opinion which they at first held, that the line would
ben of o easy formation, and that the tunnel through the Carter would
not exceed one mile and a quarter in length.
And they hereby give notice, that no Application for Shares will
be received after the 15th of December, and that the allotment will
be made as soon after that date AS possible.
By order,
CHARLES ATTICUS MONCK, Chairman.
JAMES POTTS, Secretary.

Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Dec. 3, 1845.
At a MEETING of LANDOWNERS, held November 10, 1845, at
Belsay Castle Inn, the following resolution was adopted :
.• We, the undersigned, landowners on and near the line of railway
proposed to be made by a Company calling itself Kohewcas o
tle--
Tyne, Edinburgh, and Direct Glasgow Railway, ita branch to
Ilexham, having considered the proposed line, and explained with Mr.
Monck, the Chairman of the Managing Committee of the said Railway
Company, are of opinion that the proposed line of railway, both in
Its main line and in its branch, will be beneficial both to the line
of country through which It will pass, and to our own estates, in af-
fording the shortest and easiest communication between Glasgow,
Edinburgh, and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and in opening out to use the
lime and other minerals which may be now lying unwrought in our
lands. We are of opinion, therefore, that the projectors of the pro-
posed line ought to have our consent and support, subject to such re-
servations in regard to all private and personal interests as is usual in
such cases."

pany.
In the actual state of the money market, and in the present do-
pressed situation of railway property in general, your Directors
deemed it prudent to prefer rather a fraction of a concession, obtained
upon the very beat terms, than to run the risk of a probably reckless
competition, that could not fail to be ruinous to the Company who
should obtain it.
To arrive at a resnit se much to be desired, and to include in this
arrangement all the bona fide competing Companies, your Directers
made many successive sacrifices. They have succeeded in retaining
one-fifth of the stock, and seven Directors (four French and three
English) in the consolidated Company, viz. :

aeries Generates of France; Monternault, anclen magistrat ; William
Mackenzie and J. D. Barry, Resident Directors in Paris; and Richard
Paterson as a member of the Board in London. The ether members
of the London Board are Mr. John Anderson, Mr. Bagshaw, and

Captain Chamfer, R.N.
The competition of the " Postmasters' Company" did not in the
least alter the determination of your Directors as to their bidding.
They had made up their minds, whatever might be the number of
competitors, not to accept the lease of this railway unless for a term
that could not fail to be highly remunerative to the Shareholders
(considered only with respect to the actual traffic), in addition to the
mathematical certainty of the repayment of the capital in the term
of the lease, by the operation of a moderate sinking fund.
The result of the adjudication is, a lease to the consolidated Com-
pany for a term of 34 years and 15 days, to be computed from the
period of the opening of the line to the public, throughout its entire
length front Tours to Nantes. The maximum term fixed by the law
relating to this railway was 35 years.
As to the general conditions of the grant, it may suffice to say,
that they are precisely the same in every respect as those of the Or-
leans and Bordeaux Railway, except that in the case of the Tours
and Nantes Railway the Company are bound to repay tile Govern-
ment the actual cost of the land for the seat of the railway and its
accessories.
The Company will thus have to support only about one-half of the
entire cost of an admirably constructed railway, stocked and appointed
in the most efficient manner. They will, consequently, have only
one-half the capital on which to pr
vile
a dividend, with the whole
net revenue of the line applicable te that purpose.
After the distribution of a return equal to eight per cent. per an-
num to the Shareholders, the Government is entitled to one-half of
the surplus profits, but not until after the first five years of the open-
ing of the line throughout to Nantes, and net even then unless the
aggregate profits of the preceding years shall have beeng
equal to six
per cent. on the capital actually expended, plus a sinkin fnnd.
Your Directors would just observe, that a sinking fund of one and
a half per cent., improved at four per cent. compound interest
nu,mb e (i. e.,r
extinguishing a four per cent. stock, by paving o certain
of Shares annually), will liquidate the whole capital of the Company
in 33 years 46 days. There will then remain nearly one year of the
lease unexpired, together with the value of the stock, materials, and
stores, to be repaid to the Company by the Government, or the fhture
lessees of the railway, within three months after the determination of
tile term of the lease.
The revenue of the last year of the term, together with the amount
of the valuation of the stock end stores of the Company, will amount
to several millions of francs, which will be either distributed in the
shape of a bonus to the ultimate Shareholders, or the annual sinking
fund may be reduced to one and a quarter per cent. on the capital
from the commencement, as the Directors may determine.
Considered in all its bearings, and more especially with respect to
the strong presumption that the first lessees of the French railways
will be lessees in perpetuity, subject to a fine of some sort on renewal
of the term, your Directors are led to believe that the grant of this
railway, upon the terms upon which it has been obtained, will be one
of the best, if not the very best railway property in France.
The foregoing arrangements as to the distribution of the capital
amongst the competing Companies will enable your Directors to give
one share in the consolidated Company for every five of the reduced
shares in this Company. Parties entitled to fractions of shares may
render them available by joining several together, and dividing the
I whole shares afterwards, for which every possible facility will be
given.
The rights off the Shareholders will be preserved intact, although
they may have omitted to exchange their old receipts for new encs
in time for the late competition.
The adjudication pronounced in favour of this Company, on Tues-
day, November 25th, was approved by Royal Ordinance, in the offi-
cial " Moniteur" of Friday, the 28th of till same month. Such is the
favourable light in which this consolidated Company is viewed by
the Government, that the Royal Ordinance approving the statutes
of the Company, usually a work of some mouths, has been already
obtained.
The Company is thus definitely and legally constituted a societe
anonyms, by which the liability of a shareholder is limited to the
number of shares of which he is the proprietor.
The first duty of your Directors will be to return to the Share-
holders the excess of the deposits paid, after retaining 51. per share
on the consolidated shares, at the same time to give a voucher
for the number of shares to which each shareholder is entitled.
This duty will he entered upon as soon as the necessary fonns can be
prepared and printed, on Friday, 12th of December.
The Certificates of Shares in the names of the Proprietors will be
issued as soon as they can he got ready. The statutes of this Com-
pany permit that the Shares may be transferred to bearer, when 101.
per Share shall have been paid up, after which no transfer will be
required.
The works of construction are in a great state of forwardness nearly
throughout the whole line, but more especially so on the first and
most important section, between Tours and Angers. No time will
be lost in taking the requisite measures for bringing this highly pro-
ductive section into early active operation in connexion with the
section of the Bordeaux Railway between Orleans and Tours.
Finally, the capital is more than sufficient for the completion and
stocking of the railway,

MR. W. W. SIMPSON has received directions
from the Proprietor to offer for SALE by AUCTION,
at the Commercial-buildings, Dublin, in the ensuing month,

A very valuable and desirable and FEE-SIMPLE ESTATE,
situate in the parish of Desertegney and Barony of Enishowen,
three miles from the port and market town of Buncrana, and only
12 from the flourishing city of Londonderry; consisting of the
four quarter lands of Ballyanan, Gortlick, Skarragore, and Tene-
duff, adjoining each other, and comprising numerous tewnlands,
containing altogether upwards of 4,100 statute acres of arable
and meadow land, including a large quantity of pasturable moor
and bog, which is of great importance to the arable surfaces. It is
let to industrious and improving tenants, at will, and produce, at
the present low rents, 765/. per annum. The sporting varieties
are excellent, and there are many beautiful sites upon the property,
suited for a nobleraan's or gentleman's residence and demesne,
commanding delightful views of Lough Swilly, and the splendid
mountain scenery of Donegal.
Particulars and plans of the property may be shortly obtained of
M. Lloyd, Esq , London-street, Derry ; William Elliott, Esq.,
Strabane; at the place of sale; and of Mr. W. W. Simpson, IS,
Bucklerskury.

IRELAND, COUNTY of ANTRIM.
One of the most improving and extensive Fee simple Estates in
the United Kingdom, containing 50,000 Acres, the greater part

situate in the manufacturing district of the country.
Mit. W. W. SIMPSON has the honour to an-
nounce that he has surveyed, by order of the Noble Pro.
prittor, and intends to offer for SALE by AUCTION, in the
ensuing spring, at the Royal Hotel, in Belfast,
The GALGORM or GLENAHERTY, the Braid, and Kells
ESTATES, in the county of Antrim. A large portion of these
estates is rich and very productive land, lying in the valleys of the
river Main and the Braid and Kells Waters. The Galgorm Estate
includes the fine mansion of Galgorm Castle, on which a
considerable sum has been recently expended in valuable im-
provements. Attached to the castle is a demesne of about
150 acres of superior land in hand. On the property, which
embraces a great volume of water power, there are many ex-
tensive bleach greens, beetling and corn mills, in the occupa-
tion of wealthy and respectable manufacturers, and several of the
tenantry are engaged in or connected with the various branches
of the linen trade ; the majority are Protestants, and in the
highly-favoured province of Ulster are remarkable for their in-
dustry and intelligence. The bogs attached to the estates are
very valuable, and there are extensive tracts of pasturable and
easily reclaimed mountain lands abundantly stocked with game.
The property is in the immediate neighbourhood of Ballymena, and
approaches within a quarter of a mile of this the largest inland
town in the county, and is only 20 miles distant from Belfast; the
entire of the estates include a surface of about 50,000 acres. The
Belfast and Ballymena Railway, the works of which are contracted
for, passes through the property, as well as also two other railways
in contemplation. Particulars are in preparation, and may, in
due time be obtained of Messrs. Reeves and Sons, solicitors, Met,.
rion.square, Dublin; at the place of sale; and of Mr. W. W.
Simpson, 16, Bucklersbury.
Mr. Simpson, while drawing the attention of capitalists to the
above valuable estates, wishes to state that a second edition of his
pamphlet has been published, on which the " Times " newspaper
made the following review :
" Mr. W. W. Simpson, the well-known and deservedly re-
spected auctioneer and land valuator, has recently published a
pamphlet entitled ' A Defence of the Landlords of Ireland, with
Remarks on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant.'"
The " Dublin Evening Packet," in reviewing this work, gives the
following character of its author:—." Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need
provement and value of land in his own coun-
rtierms irnedlaotuinrgrteoadtehresi,mis an Englishman of vast experience in mat.
try. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most comprehensive views,
and possesses an understanding naturally strong, and a stock of
practical knowledge and sterling sense which falls to the lot of very
few persons in his own or any other, rank of life. With the
social condition of Ireland he has made it his business, almost as a
matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly acquainted. He
feels for her wants, and has contributed as much perhaps as any
man in his time to improve her resources, by encouraging the in-
vestment of British capital in every department of Irish industry.
Such a witness as this we therefore hold to be beyond the reach

of suspicion on the score either of interest or partiality. His tes,
timony must be regarded as invaluable, as it is unquestionably un
impeachable."

LUNATIC ASYLUMS.
The following examples given by the Metropolitan
Commissioners in Lunacy in the years 1843 and 1844,
of the state and condition of the inmates in some
licensed houses, will convince the reader of the neces-
sity of providing the means of checking the abuses
and defects thetiein pointed out. The report is ad-
dressed to the Lord High Chancellor of England. In
noticing the houses to which the Commissioners more
pointedly allude, we deem it unnecessary in every in-
stance to mention the names of the governors or of the
county. One asylum reported, was formerly a small
gaol, the cells and rooms in which, when visited, were
apparently in their original condition ; windows had
not been added, excepting to the part that faced the
public street. The food and other necessaries were
contracted for; the rooms were deficient in every com-
fort and almost every convenience; they were small and
ill-ventilated; some of the lower rooms almost dark, and
the interior of the asylum altogether out of repair; the
two day roomssyene containing seven males, the other
five females, evil measured about twelve feet by nine
feet; the floors were of soft stone, and parts of them had
been torn up and destroyed. There was no seat, table,
or any article of furniture in the women's room, and
nothing except a table in the men's room. The men were
standing; the women standing or sitting on the floor;
but in the presence of the Commissioners, a long board,
or seat, was introduced and fixed against the wall, upon
which, however, only four could sit; there were large
holes in the walls and ceilings; the airing courts were
small and cheerless; the floors were strewn with large
atones, either fallen or forced from the buildings, which
were dangerous weapons in the way of two of the pa-
tients, who were mischievous ; there was also among
the seven male patients one fastened in a chair, in a se-
parate room on cell. The dress of all was dirty, ragged,
and insufficient ; the stockings on the female patients
such rags only as are occasionally seen on heaps of rub-
bish ; not a single change of linen, either for the beds or
the person ; there were only sixteen straw beds, in a
most filthy state, for the eighteen patients. One patient
(a boy of nineteen), slept on loose straw, upon a stone-
floor, in a small dark cell ; another patient (a girl), who
was convalescent, slept in the same room with the keeper
and his wife, on a bed belonging to them. Two patients
were confined in strong chairs, to which their arms were
fastened. Two were thus confined separately in small
rooms, to which scarcely any light was admitted through
the gratings ;• osp, a woman, was entirely naked on both
the days on whi,ch the Commissioners visited the asylum;
both dirty patients, and the stench was such as to be
scarcely possible'to remain there. No place for exercise
during wet weather ; no books or amusements ; prayers
Here never read ; no clergyman attended, although a
female patient, who was occasionally depressed and ima-
gined that she had not done her duty to her child which
had died, appeared especially to require the consolation
of one. The allowance to the keeper and his wife (the
matron), who was well-disposed to the patients, was the
same rations as the pauper patients, and 20/.: they kept
no servant ; on the first visit of the Commissioners the
keeper was absent at work for some person in the neigh-
bourbood ; water only was allowed for drink ; culm and
clay for firing ; chopped straw for beds ; bread made of
barley meal and wheaten flour. On the second visit to
the same asylufa the Commissioners say that, although
some symptoms of improvement were manifest, the place
was wholly unfit for the treatment and care of the insane.
Alluding to an asylum to which many pauper patients
are sent from this county, the Commissioners say, " It is
situated in a densely-crowded neighbourhood; the yards
are dull and confined, and the internal accommodations
are inconvenient and defective ; and it has no land what-
ever for employing its paupers."
"At our first visit to another house," the Commis-
sioners say, "we found a gentleman residing as a
hoarder without certificate, whom we had known as a
certified patient in one of the houses in the metropo-
litan district ;, this person was evidently unfit to be at
large. The owner stated that he had been in the habit
of sometimes_esiceiving low-spirited or desponding per-
sons as boarders. He also said that he had on several
occasions permitted patients in his establishment to exe-
cute deeds affecting property, but that before doing so,
he always satisfied himself that the act was proper.
There are three different houses belonging to the same
person, which are licensed, and also a cottage (since
licensed) to which parties are sometimes removed." In
a paragragh immediately following the above, the Com-
missioners say, "It is questionable whether a proprietor
of a licensed house who receive boarders of this class, or
who permits deeds to be executed by persons who are
under confinement as patients, ought to be entrusted with
a license." Instances are mentioned, referring to other
places, wherejnabecile persons in asylums have signed
deeds, the nature of which they did not understand.
The report, we regret to state, does not contain a
house which is spoken of by the Commis_ as a per-
fect example. Bedford is said to have been greatly im-
proved of late. The Commissioners frequently speak
of houses in language of condemnation, as concerns their
condition, as well as to the reprehensible state of accom-
modation, and the cruel system of restraint which is
practised in, them, notwithstanding the services and so-
licitude which the county and borough magistrates have
evinced under the several Acts to perform a very pain-
ful duty. The Commissioners speak of numerous es-
capes of lunatics, some of which have been attented by
the most melancholy consequences ; in one instance the
insane person'murdered his wife and daughter in a vo-
lent paroxysm of epileptic mania, and in a most savage
and horrid manner. It is recommended that asylums,
which are generally shut on a Sunday, should be open
to labourers, the relatives of the patients in particular,
who cannot afford to visit them at the sacrifice of a sixth
part of their week's wages.
Among other suggestions of the Commissioners for
the amendment of the laws, are the following:—That
the number of patients in one asylum shall not exceed
250—that some provision be made, from time to time,
for the removal of incurable paupers to a workhouse, to
be exclusively appropriated to such a purpose—that
every county and public asylum or hospital have a resi-
dent medical officer, and a visiting physician—that a full
account of all receipts and disbursements, with the pro-
perty of every county asylum, the sources and amount
of income, and the application of the same, be published
annually.
According to the last official return of lunatic paupers
in this county, there were 325, of which number, it is
stated, there is accommodation for two only in a private
asylum ; there therefore remains 323 uprovided for.
Among the examples given in the report of the cost
of land, buildings, furniture, &c., is that of Bedford,
where there is accommodation for 90 male and 90 female
paupers ; the total expenditure, including 9 acres of
land, 20,500/. Average cost per head, 114/.
Another example may be mentioned, where the number
provided forspproaches nearer to that required for this
county, viz,s,Wakefield, in Yorkshire. It is thus de-
scribed :
