rirlHE Provisional Directors have the great satisfaction of
informing the Shareholders in this undertaking that the
Act fur which they applied has passed through both Houses of
Parliament, and is now waiting only for the Royal Assent.
All the shares being taken, the works will be commenced
without delay, and a part of the Line from London to Waltham
Cross, through Tottenhatn and Edmonton, will be finished, and
yielding a profitable return within a year from the expiration
of the time which must necessarilly be occupied in obtaining
possession of the land, and the whole line will be completed
within two years from the same period.
For the information of distant subscribers, the Directors sub-
join some extracts from the report of the Committee of the
House of Commons, which show that a most liberal income has
been proved; and the Directors, at the same time, take the
opportunity to point out the additional advantages which may
be expected to accrue from other lateral railways which have
been projected by other Companies to flow into this the direct
northern line.
An act for the completion of the line from Cambridge to
York, or to some point near York, which the railroads already
in progress may render advisable, and also to the east, will be
applied for in the next session of Parliament. 'rhe capital for
this continuation of the line has been subscribed for, and the
necessary surveys are in progress.
Extracts from the report of the Committee of the House of
Commons, May 20, 1836.
" The amount of income expected to arise from the convey-
ance of passengers and goods is £290,702 6s. 3d., the propor-
tion of passengers being £199,530 2s. Bd., and for goods £91,127
3s. id.
" The calculations of remuneration do not "depend upon the
contemplated extension of the line, but it is expected that the re-
snueration will be much increased thereby.
" There is no competing line of railway now existing, or in
progress ; for although two other lines were brought before the
Committee at the commencement of their inquiry, they were
both withdrawn at an early period, and without sufficient evi-
dence being adduced in their favour.
"'There is no plain on the proposed railway which will re-
quire to be worked by assistant engines, either stationary or
locomotive.
`The fitness in ali.engineering point of view Of the projected
line appears to be unusually great.
"'The amount of the estimates of the cost and expenses to be
incurred up to the time of the completion of the railway, is
I:1,200,000, which sum has appeared in evidence to be fully ade-
quate to the purpose.
," The estimated charge of the annual expenditure of the rail-
way When .completed, is from 40 to 41 per cent. of the gross
annual income, and the calculations on which this change is
estimated, appear to the committee to have been sufficiently
proved, taking into account the unusually favourable nature of
the line.
" The calculations proved in evidence have satisfactorily es-
tablished that the revenue is likely to be sufficient to support
the annual charges of the maintenance of the railway, and
still to allow a milt to the projectors."
The Directors take this opportunity to announce that a meet-
ing of all the shareholders will be summoned in August.

Considerable facilities and privileges are
_given to Associa-
tions of the kind now formed, by an Act of Parliament of the
10th of Lleorge IV, intituled "Au Act to consolidate and
amend the Laws relating to Friendly Societies," and also an
Act of the 4th and sth IVilliaut IV., to extend the benefits of
the same ; and to obtain the benefits of these Acts it is re-
quisite to conform to certain, Regulations; but, as these are
designed to promote the good order and sectirity of such So-
cieties, it has been concluded that the National Provident In-
stitution should be establiibed under their provisions.
Among the advantages afforded by these Acts to Societies
conforming to their Rules, are the following:-
Ist. An entire exemption from all the Stamp Duties on their
various transactions, which would otherwise be liable to heavy
charges.
2,1-. Permission to employ any part or the whole of the money
in Government Securities, at a, higher rate of interest than
the public funds produce. s
This Institution is strictly one of Mutual Insurance for the
equitable division of all surplus funds. The premiums will be
found lower than most other offices founded upon the sante libe-
ral principles.
It presents to the industrious and prudent Mechanic or Arti-
san all the security and benefit of a savings.' bank on an extended
scale.
To those engaged in business, or the .professions, or holding
situations in private or public establishments, whose incomes
mainly depend on their own exertions, it affords an easy oppor-
tunity of securing some provision for that period of life when
the energies of the most robust are no longer equal to their
necessities.
To the more affluent, and to all classes in proportion to their
ability, it will be found that this Institution, in its Life Assur-
ance department, promises to realise considerable advantages,
as the accumulation of its funds will be for the benefit of all its
Members. _

AmEnIcAN SHIPS IN THE PACIFIC.—The American sloop
Honduras, Captain Scott, after cruising among the group of
islands around Ascension island, went into Strong's island to
repair and provision. The captain and eight men went on
shore for supplies, leaving the mate and cabin-boy in the ship.
The deck swarmed with islanders; when it was apprehended an
attack had been made on the boat's crew ashore, as the captain
was heard caliing to the mate to load the muskets. The mate,
hearing this, sprang on board from the natives, who had seized
him, and with cutlass and musket succeeded in driving them
overboard. He then slipped the chain-cable, and with the aid
of the boy spread canvass and brought the vessel out of the
harbour, making the best of his way back to Ascension island,
where she arrived after 11 days, without fortmast, and short of
provisions. Having shipped a native crew at Ascension, she
sailed for Oahu, where she arrived in January. Small hopes
are entertained that Captain Scott and the crew escaped being
murdered. The crew of the Thetis, Captain Rogers, had at-
tempted to seize the vessel, two or three of the men having en-
tered the cabin at midnight, and with axes approached the berths
of Captain Rogers, and Hannington, the mate, and severed off
both their heads: The trading-master of the schooner, hearing
the alarm, seized a cutlass, ran on deck, and encountering. the
chief of the revolters, after a contest of 10 or 15 minutes, killed
him, and brought the remainder to subjection. The American
whale-ship Independence had been lost on Starbrook's Island.
The mate and part of the crew had reached Tahitti, nut nothing
had been heard of the remainder, who, with Capt„ Braynter on
board, had One in a second boat.
It is stated in some of the evening ministerial journals, of
Monday, that parliament will be prorogued'in the first week of
August.
