GEORGE WOOD,

* The petition referred to.
TO. THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF THE UNITED
KINGDOM OF • GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND IN PAR-
LIAMENT ASSEMBLED. •
The Petition of the Bankers, Merchants, Maniffacturers,
and Traders of the Town or Manchester, assembled in
• Public liketiny, this present Tuesday, the 9th of April,
1839,
Humbly showeth,—
That application has been made.to your honourable house,
for leave to bring in a bill to authorise the construction of a
rail Way from. Stone to Rtig,by; under the title of " The Man-
chester .and,Bi.rminghain.-Extension Railway." • . •
' opinienig,this mceting,,:the intended. railway
is calculated tn. serxe essentially the interests of this town
and neighbourhood, as affording the shortest and best com-
munication to and from Manchester and . the.manufacturing
districts- of Lancashire and the. metropolis.
That, auxiliarylo the great object, of securing to this dis,
trict the readiest access to London, the intended line will
also afford a railway communication between Manchester and
the whole of the eastern
,district, including the towns of
Derby, Newark, and NOttingham.
That these advantages will be secured by means of a rail-
way wlii4 it is'belicved, considering its length,,is not ex-
ceeded in engineering 'properties and general excellence by
any line of railway, either constructed or projected, in this
country.

Thai your petitioners need not impress upon your honour-
able house, the fact that the commercial prosperity of the
vast trading community, of and round Manchester ,will be
greatlypromot&Lby the utmost facilities of communication
'being afforded with the various- parts of the • kingdom, and
especially with- London, so that. the manufactures of this
—the great workshop of England—may continue to ado-Cd
employment to our population ; and that, in the March 'of
trading competition, the capit.,nd enterprise of the district
may have fair and free excrel,i‘.
That, in putting forwnni a claim to these advantages, your
petitioners are only seeping for that which tht-ir _to ansmeli
and neighbours, with those who. are interested in the welfare
of the town, are willing out of their own resources to accom-
plish, if parliament be pleased to grant to themthe necessary
poWerS for that purpose.
That the town of MatiChester is almost alone in not having
already obtained its-own direct line ;:--other towns, not pos-
sessing either the like extent. of population, trade, or capital,
having their respectiVe railways to London, either in present
use or approaching to completion ; and amongst the towns,
so situated, your petitioners may name -Liverpool, Birming-
ham, Leeds, Bristol, and Southampton. , •. . . . .
That, notwithStanding the justice of placing Manchester.
and the neighbouring towns (which form, in , fact,. part. of
-its community) upon the like footing in reference to railway
emilmunication as the various 'other towns that :have been
named, your petitioners find with. surprise and regiet that
.tlie application now making.. to your honourable house has .
been met with an opposition. of the most extraordinary (in-
deed, in its character and extent your petitioners believe of
an mil reeedented) kind, inasmuch as it. is an opposition not
upon the question .of the merits of the line, or the right of
Manchester' to its •possession ; but, under the pretence of
objections of form, to prevent the bill being brought. at
into the house, and to stop, inquiry at the very threshold..
That the standing orders of your honourable house (under.
the present construction of which any parties, though having,
no interest cr proper.'+'y in the line, are permitted. to be heard
before the -select committee ,on petitions for private.bills,
complaining of non-compliance with such orders)- have been
made the means of delaying, from the 22d of February to this
time, and may even yet further delay, the introduction of the
bill.igto your honourable house ; the promoters having been
engaged in a contest of enormous cost upon, for the most
part,;mere technical questions' the character of which, arid
the foundation of which, may be estimated by the fact that
petitions have been inquired into before such committee 'con-
fabling 459 allegations, 46 only of Nklich hdve been success-
fully entertained, of which 46, three are duplicate objections,
and that even of the number sustained scarcely any affect the
properties of the complaining parties. -
That the opposition is in fact, whatever it may be in name,
an opposition of the combined railway and 'canal companies
to defeat an undertaking calculated, as they think, to inter-
fere With the monopoly which they are interested in uphold-
in.., and the public in uprooting ; and'thus the 'London* and
Birmingham, the Grand 'Junction, and the Midland Counties
IlailWay Companies, with the;Trent and Mersey' and other
canal companien,,hava been the real parties before the'com;,
mittee, and not the landowners whose interest they affected
to
`protect.

f •
That your petitioners believe, that the promoters 'of the
bill, if permitted to lay their case before the house, 'will be
enabled to show that none of these companies have any just
ground of complaint against the undertaking ; and as to one
of them in particular, that the opposition of that company
need not have been incurred, but on the contrary its co-
operation would have been secured, if the promoters of the
Extention Line had consented to sacrifice the principle of
competition which an independent line will secure, and
which they deem it to be the fair right of the public to re-
quire.

That your petitioners. conceive, that the standing orders of
your honourable house were intended for the protection of
landowners, and not as an instrument of oppression and
harassing opposition to a great public measure by combined
companies ; and they respectfully represent to your honour-
able house, that they shall deem it to be a hardship and in-
justice to the town of Manchester, if such an opposition be
allowed to prevail ; especially as your petitioners are informed
that the Proceedings before the committee in this case have
satisfied many, if not all those members of your honourable
house who are accustomed to act on such committees, that a
literal compliance with the standing orders is impossible;
and that a. change must be effected in them with a view to
their, being rendered less perplexing, and to put an end to
the right of wholesale objection which has operated so griev-
ously in this instance.

:_That your petitioners fully confide in the justice of your
honourable house ; and pray, that leave may be given to
bring in the bill relating to the above railway ; and that the
same may be permitted to pass into a law during the present
session.

ARTIFIFICIAL TEETH SUPPLIED

WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OIL CLASPS. 7'
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED.
And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoratum.

• ~
Moss. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-D .-tists, respect-
fullygn inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inl tants of Liver-
pool and its vicinity, that they have opene i Establishment
permanently at No.. 70, SEEL-STREET, eight doors from
Berry-street. They continue to fill up the cavities of De-
cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the
least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavityin
an almost liquid state, and iu a few seconds gets hard, pre-
venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro-
gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction
unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a Mere shell
into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping
up the cavity, prevents- effectually that unpleasant taint of
the breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth.
Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Guins, there
are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known that the loss
of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It
affects individuals of all ages. and of all constitutions, and is
the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so
affected, Mons. LE DRAY and Co. have to inform them,
that they can effectually remove . this destructive complaint
by a single application, without the slightest pain. •
