GEORGE ROBINS'S ROYAL FILTER FOR CISTERNS, AND PORTABLE FILTERS. THE Season of the Year is approaching when the public will have additional reason to congratulate themselves upon this hnpertant and national invention. So many attempts have been made to mislead thegood folks of the Metropolis, by pretending to cure the crying evil of bad water, without the least pretension, that we were amongst the many who remained sceptical as to the pretensions of the Royal Filter, until we were led to seek ocular demonstra tion by Laving one fixed up in a large cistern, and we have now no sort of hesitation in pronouncing it QUITE coat- PLETE, and in giving it OUR UNQUALIFIED PRAISE. The names of the highest professional talent in the Metro polis have given the strongest testimony, that they may be consider e d, i n th e metropo li tan c i ty o f L on d on as an ab solute " G o d- sen d," but we will illustrate their opinions by stubborn facts and proofs as strong as Holy Writ; and first let us examine the state of the water, as now drank by the thousand and ten thousand persons who have not yet availed themselves of this Filter, and our readers will bear in mind, that this evidence is supplied from evidence given last season in the BRITISH HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT. The following eminent and learned men in their voca tions have given evidence, of which the following is ne cessarily a short extract, viz.:— Sir Henry Halford, Dr. Hooper, Mr. Keate, Mr. Thomas, Dr. Turner, Drs. Hu:ne, Yates, Kerrison, Somer ville, Johnson, and Paris, &c. &c.—they pronounce the wa ter sent into their houses to be a filthy fluid, it is saturated, with decayed vegetable matters, and other substances pre judicial to health ; that such matters in the stomach greatly contribute to the production of that state of FAULTY DI GESTION and lA/PURITY Of BLOOD; that it is so runly and IMPURE, as to be unfit for the breakfast table and for culinary purposes, and that it adds so much to the other unwholesome constituents of bread, as to render every meal injurious to the health of thousands ; that the water sent into the cisterns during the hot weather frequently became QUITE PUTRID; and they have no doubt that the continued use of it WITHOUT FILTERING is capable of pro ducing deleterious effects ; that the Thames water is ex tremely bad, fopl, dirty, and unwholesome, from the great quantity of FILTHY MATTERS CONTINUALLY POUR ING INTO IT FROM NUMEROUS SEWERS; and Dr. Ker • risotr makes us acquainted with a fact; the perusal of which will excite the same disgust in the mind of the reader, as we ourselves feel in narrating it. On in specting the Thames near the landing at Chelsea Hospital, he saw " the foul and black stream from the Ranelagli sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine and the Dolphin, LOADED WIT/I NO SMALL PORTION OF UNDI. VHDti) FLOATING FILTH FROM PRIVIES;" from which, he concludes, that " A CONSIDERABLE QUANTITY OF HUMAN EXCREMENT, IN A SUBDIVIDED AND UNDECOMPOSED sraTx, ACTUALLY PASSES INTO OUR CISTERNS." Dr. Somervi:le, the physician to Chelsea Hospital, state; the water to be very impure. " The tide," he says, " STIRS UP THE MASS OF IMPURITY TRODUCED AY ALL UIAT IS CORRUPTIBLE IN THE ANIMAL AND VFGETABLE woatt.), TOORTHun WITH THE NOMUDS FILTH OF Cl AS AND OTURR MA 24 IJVA CTOR tES, kiAT CONSTANTLY }LOW INTO THE THAMES FROM PATTERSSA DOWN TO GRAVESEND.' Dr. James Johnson, the author of the Treatise ou In digestion," says—" We sneer at the .!elir.ecy of the Minion, who slakes his thirst at the same tank where his neighbour is sacrificing to Cloacina; but what shall we sly to the DELICATE CITIZENS OF WEswmitcs , rha, WHO FILL THEM TANKS AND STOMACHS WITH WA:- TEM FROM THE THAMES, AT THW 'VERY SPOT INTO WHICH A HUNDRED THOUSAND C 7.04 cdi,; CONTAINING EVERY SPECIES Or num, AND ALL IT NUTTER A 111.

He pronounces the water to be impure and onniire, and says - that it stinks shortly after it has como in. LA RGE QUANTITIES OF MATTER ARE MECHANICALLY SUSPENDED IN IT. "As A PHYSICIAN," Le says, ‘ 6 ICA Nit FIND TERMS SUFFICIENTLY EXPRESS/YE OF THE Atli'- . Flit EFFECTS IT 3IAY . RE LIKELY TO PRODUCE UPON THE. HEALTH, AND EVEN LIVES, OF. THE INHABITANTS OF THE mrs*seor.is " And. in the last , edition of his work he. goes 'still.farther, and asserts, that ifs; re m edy be not ap plied to the evil, a THE RAVAGES OF SOME EPIDEMIC MAY BE FAIRLY ANTIWATED." IS THE PICTUR.B—:-THE TAITIIFO. AND FRIGHT • ITS. , TICTLIRF.OF THE eosil:L.l°N OF THE iVATER OF 'TUT' HAiMES, AS SUPPI,IELF RT. THE rE.sto.Titrin. ci.!§•eo3ietts. That the inhabitants Of the ricLest„largist, •Mnst populous city in the world—the seat of a more opu lent body of nobility and gentry than is to be Lund in any other Metropolis—should,- for .so .'long a time, have been contented to have SEEN DAILY !RUNNING INTO THEIR CISTERNS, AND TO USED, FOR ALL nomr.s . r.ic AND CULINARY ruarosEs, A NECESSARY OF LIVE, SO LOADED WITH ALL SORTS OF ilurzninrs AS TO 'BE PRONOUNCILDr BY PROrEssior44...4.gpf or THE FIRST EMINENCE. TO RE OFFENbIVE TO THE,51,641T, disgusting to the imagination!, and destructive to the health, is . a fact that would not have ' been credited, and that ought not to have been credited, but upon evidence unanswerable. THE RESULT OF THEIR LABOURS IS TilE RECOBISIZN. DATION OF A GENERAL. SYSTEM OF FIL,PRATION-A' SYS- TEM, NOT LIMITED TO THE FIFTY-THREE THOUSAND FAMILIES DAILY DRINKING THE FILTHY FLUID OF WHICH WE HAVE BEEN SPEAKING, RUT-EXTENDING ITSELF TO THE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIT THOUSAND TENANTS OF THE NEW RIVER AND OTHER COMPANIES, CONSUAIING THE TWENTY-NINE MILLIONS OF GALLONS DAILY SUP PLIF.D TO THE METROPOLIS. Unfortunately, at the moment when the Commissioners were drawing up their Report, the patent for " The Royal Filter for Cisterns" had not paSsed through the tedious or deal of office, OE IT WILL NOT BE DOUBTED, AFTER READ.• .1 NG THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIAKS, THAT IT MUST HATE FORMED AN IMPORTANT AND HIGHLY SATISFACTORY CON.. CLUSION TO THEIR LABOURS.-The subjoined extract from aProspectue, issued by the. Proprietor, WILL BE PERUSE-0 WITH THE LIVELIEST tsTexiawr BY ALL WHO CONSIDER' CLEANLINESS TO BE ESSENTIAL TO HEA LTII, AND THE FURIT ir OF THE ELEATENT OF WHICH WE ARE TREATING, TO BE NEARLY OF EQUAL l'ArreturA CF: Wll9l TUE. AIR WE BREATHE " The Royal Filter for Cisterns, will Le found superior to all filters hitherto invented,' inasmuch as it not poly POSSESSES VIM PJWER OF CLARIFYING IVATER IN A PRE-EMINENT DEGREE, BUT ALSO TILAT OF COMPLETE run/W.:A-LYON, RENDERING VW MOST TURBID, STAGNANT, ANTI MUD WATER, OF A CRYSTALLINE BRILLIANCY, DEPRIVING .IT OP EVERY NOXIOUS INGREDIENT, AND, IN FACT, PRODUCING NATURE'S NECTAR' IN VIE DIGHEST POSSIBLE PERFECTION; TWAT ii TO SAY, CLEAR AND DESTITUTE OE TASTE AND SMELL." The. rapidity of the process may be understood by a Single observation, 4 ‘ THAT SO FAST AS TH(C WATER IS SUI . I . I,IRD AI IDIE TOP OF 711 E 161hTEJAN, SO FAST,IT WILL. DISCHARGE ITSEIF FROM THE ELT:TOIL" " But where," the reader will 'naturally eulaina, the proof of r.ll this to be found ? We must have some thing, fai _-__ more solid and satisltory than bare assertions." -The following statement must, we think, set the doubts ut the most sceptical at rest for ever. Mr. Home, the respectable and talented chemist of Long Acre, who has long been employed by -Government in analysing waters, had two bottles sent to him for aualysation; THE ONE'FULL OF ALL SORTS OF ANIACAL AND VEGETABLE MATTERS IN A STATE OF DECOMPOSITION, AND STRONGLY 124.PREZIN4TED Waif GAS; the other, a bottle which hid 'contained the same foist ingredients, hut hail been pnrified by the Royal Filter. Iu the unfiltered bottle he found, he says, forty-ix grains and a half of sslisl matter, .of which .thirty;- grains consisted of impurities, and the remaining sixteen grains were the original ingredients peculiar to the water, and dissolved in it : " for," he observes, " there is no water, however pure and wholesome, whether from deep wells, Superficial springs, or any °thee source, that is free from saline and ether soluble salts, nut at all irijnrioni to health." In the filtered bottle be found only sixteen grains of substances, which, en examination, proved to be the same materials peculiar to, and soluble iu, the water in its pri mitive state, and perfectly free from the impurities and contingent foulness of the water, occasioned principally by decayed vegetable matter 4, a slight impregnation by animal substance, some carbureted hydrogen or coal gas, and car bonic acid gas. Mr. Hume concludes with bearing the following high testimony to the merits of this discovery " After a very careful analysis, I cannot hesitate to pro nounce the method which has been adopted to filter this specimen of water to be most effectual, and highly deserv ing of public encouragement." The same gentleman, at a subsequent period, analysed two ntherbottles, and says; " the opinion I had formed of this new process for filtering is fully confirmed." We should add, that the water thus analysed, A LTHOUG H PURPOSE{;- STRONGLY IMPREG NATED WITH GAS AND OTHER IMPURITIES, BECAME CRY*TAILISED, AND DESTITUTE OF TAaTE AND'SIIELL. Thus it is clearly proved, THAT OF THE FORTY-SIX GRAINS AND A HALF OE SOLID MATTER ORIGINALLY PL ACED IN THE ROYAL FILTER, ONLY SIXTEEN GRAINS OF SUBSTANCES PASSED THROUGH IT ; AND WHICH SIR TEEN GRAINS ARE PROVED TO BE PECULIAR TO WATER IN ITS PRIMITIVE STATE, AND NOT AT ALE DELETERIOUS TO HEALTH. However much, therefore, the observation of the Commissioners may apply to all former systems of filtration, it is greatly to be regretted that, before the close of their labours, tkey had not the benefit of the preceding experiments, and of the following striking testimonials to the excellence of " The Royal Filter." Professor Brande, Dr. Clarke, Mr. Brodie, Mr. Keate, Dr. Scudamore, and 30 other highly eminent and unpre judiced medical men, have each had the Royal Filter placed in their cisterns, and they all concur in stating that it renders the most turbid, foetid water of ehrystaline brilliancy, and free from taste and smell. It should be observed that the difficulty of getting pure water is very common in most of the large towns, and indeed throughout the provinces. The difficulty or necessity of placing a Filter at this distance is now removed. Portable ones of all dimensions, capable of filtering from 50 to 500 gallons every 24. hours, have been adapted to present the inconvenience alluded to„ The expence is from 1303. to 41. er 51. We trust we have said enough to draw general attention to the merits of a discovery so highly conducive to the cleanliness, comfort, and health of the inhabitants of this thickly peopled Metropolis. 'We shall only add that the apparatus may be inspected at the Office of the Patentee, 111 r•. George Robins, 69, Strand, opposite the Adelphi Theatre ; where the public are invited to have ocular de• monstration of the efficacy of this remedy. We have received by the Arabian, Captain Wills, arrived at this port yesterday front Calcutta, the Calcutta John Bid!, to the 21st of August. It contains a long report of a government. prosecution against the house of Alexander, Young, and Co., for accepting a bill of exchange drawn on unstamped paper. The fact was proved, but it appeared that bills of exchange were not specified in the late unpopular stamp regulation, and the Jury acquitted the defendants. One of the Judges, ,Sir E. Ryan, differed from the Chief Justice and Sir J. Franks, in maintaining that bills of exchange were not included in the Act. The Jury, of course, coincided in his view. This is the second information against the E3lne parties, and the second acquittal. We ex tract the following paragraph, announcing the melSn- Choly 'death of Captain Mitford, formerly of Liver pool .--- • We are concerned to announce a se ri ous acc id ea t which occurred at Kedgeree on Monday afternoon last, the 18th inst., by which Captain Guy A. Mitford lost his life. The Clifton, which vessel he commanded, arrived at the Kedgeree from the Isle of .France, on the 16th, and there she remained-iu want of a pilot, —a very strange and in explicable thing to us. The Captain went on board the Sea _Horse pilot vessel's boat, we suppose to see the branch pilot on the subject, and we are sorry to say she ovartmed, when all on board except the Captain were saved.

STII4.ING'S ACCOUNT. Mr. Sergeant PEI.I; begged to. call the attention of the county to the circumstance of Mr. Stitlina not having, up to that moment, handed in his hill, in. obedience to a resolution to that effect from that. Court. It was. to be recollected that the account between Mr. Stirling and The cdunty had been run 7 fling 'on for nearly 30 years, (several voices, "40"), some gentlemen said for. 40 years. Now Mr. Stir line was an old 'Man and it was but justice to his family and to hirriself to force him to produce his account, in order • that the county might pay him 14atever corn of money might be due to him on.ac c6-nitit of his professional ferries& .14 .the county. — The only way in which the Magistrates could effect that object was by applying to the Court, of which Mr. Stirling was a certified attorney, who would in stantly order him to furnish his account, and, when settled with, give up such papers as he had in his possession belonging to the county to the clerk of the peace. After some discussion, a motion pissed, to the effect that if Mr. Stirling declined instantly to fur. nish hiS accounts to the Magistrates, that legal steps should be taken to force his compliance with the ma gistrates' order. KR. PEEL'S BILL.--OFFENCES TILE PERSON. By this Bill it is ordered, that all fines imposed upon individuals for offences against the person, are to be paid .over Jo the overseers of the parish in which the offence has been committed, to be by them handed over to the Treasurer of 6 , 1, county, for the benefit of the conntv-rate. - It appears that the fines imposed at the police offices of the metropolis have not been so appro priated by the presiding Magistrates. On the last county-day, the cause of the non appropriation of these fides, as the Act directed, became a subject, of discussion, when. the reason given by several of the, police magitrates,_ for not complying with the proyisions of Mr. Peel's Act, was, that they felt. themselves bound by the Police Act to pay in all fines imposed by them to the .Re ceiver-General, appointed tn►der that Act, for the benefit of the. Crown. Mr. RAWLIV,ON, in confirmation of that. being. a correct view of the matter, said, that he had a cOn versation with the Under Secretary for the Home Department ;. and that be learned . &oar that gen tleinan that the line of conduct pursued by the Po lice Magistrates was considered by the proposer of the Bill a just one. Upon this statement it was agreed that Mr. Const, the county Chairman, should solicit an inter view with the Secretary of the Home Department, to obtain what his real opinions on the subject were, and report the same at the subsequent county. day. Mr. CO:CST obeyed the wishes of the Magistrates: but the answer given at the Home Department was, that no opinion would be given on the subject in that quarter, but that the Magistrates themselves sD on ld 4lecj,dc upon the, meat ring of tlie_tt . c3,.l . , ll.r.l3ergeant PELL - s a id, that he was de6dedly of opinion that all fines imposed wider Mr. Peel's Bill shOuld be handed over to the treasurer for the county, for the benefit of the county-rate. Sir J. GIBIION proposed, that Counsel's. opinion should he taken as to the real meaning of the Act in question. Mr. BRIWOE thought, that after the decided opinion given by the Learned Sergeant, the county should at once apply, to the Court of King's Bench for a mandantus, to oblige the police magistrates to give up the money detained by them to the county treasurer. Mr. ALLEN, the Clerk of the Peace, said that the matter had already been decided by the Court of King's Bench, who had issued their mandamus to oblige the magistrates of Lambeth-street to com ply with the provisions of Mr. Peel's Act. The maw/am:is was granted upon the application of the parish authorities in the neighbourhood of the office. It was, however, 'ultimately agreed to, that Mr. Campbell's opinion should be taken as to the proper construction of the meaning of the Act, which opinion is to be promulgated on the next county day. Some remarks were made by Mr.. Sergeant PEI.L, relative to the new Pauper Lunatic Asylum Bill. The Learned Sergeant charged the magistrates con nected with various parishes in the metropolis with not doing their. duty, by ordering a return to be made to the clerk of the peace for the county, of the pauper lunatics in their respective parishes, as they were bound by the 40th chap, of tl►e 9th of George I v. It being now five o'clock, and Sir George.Farrant having left the Court, the question upon Sir George's motion was postponed until the next Court day. The Court then broke up. Between the hours of two and four, an election for the district surveyorship of St. George in the East took place; at the latter hour, the numbers were : Mr. Sibley 194 Mr. Mason A 8 Mr. Mosely >6l Air. Lloyd Upon which Mr. Sibley wa3 declared duly clt!cted, and sworn in accordingly.. A, further dividend of two shillings in the pound is announced for payment to the creditors of Messrs. Hutchinson and Place, of the Stockton-on-Tees Bank.— This, with the former dividend, still make 9s. 6d. in the pound to the creditors of the bank. EPSOM GRAND STA ND.--The ceremony of laying the first stone of a Grand Stand on Epsom Downs took place on Wednesday afternoon, in the presence of a great number of gentlemen connected with the sporting world, and others. Previous to the ceremony, the Com-. mittee of Management met at Baker's Hotel, and commu nications were read from Earl Darnley, the Duke of Rich mond, Lord Mountcharles, Sir Robert Wilson, Baron de Tessier, and others, apologising for their absence from the ceremony, owing to the inclemency of the weather.- Earl Darnley's' communication stated his Lordship's intention of applying to the Jockey Club to ascertain if any part of the budding should be appropriated to its members. The spot fixed on for the edifice, which is to be on a more magnificent scale than the Stand at Doncaster, is a short distance from the Prince's Stand, and nearly opposite to the Stewards' Booth, commanding a full view of the whole of the Race course. The elevation is to be precisely similar to the Stand at Doncaster, and will embrace apartments for his Majesty, the outline of Which has been forwarded to Windsor for his Majesty's approval—a spacious saloon, re freshment rooms, and other convenienciee. It - is intended to have the building finished by the end of May, so as to afford accommodation for the June races. From the hotel the Committee proceeded to the ground, where the eeeernany of laying the, first steno was performed by the Architect, as proxy for the Baroi do Tessier, who was unable to attend owing to severe indisposition. In a bottle, her male-any sealed, were placed the different coins of the realm, at present forming the circulating medium, and a plate bearing the names of the Trustees, C. N. Polluter, Esq, MA . , Sir Robert Wilson, M.P., and the Him. Robert King, John J. Briscoe, Ee.0. 1 . 4 the Lord of the Manor aml his lady, were pl a c e d o n th e ' stone, which was then lowered, and the.eartmonv was concluded by the use of a silver trowel in the usual manner. . The Cemmittee and friends of the undertaking then-partook of a dinner. The grosind plan of the huildieg embraces 180 feet in length, and sixty in depth. DEPARTURE of the LORD LIEUTENANT. (From the Dublin Morning Register of Tuesday.) At twelve o'clock the Lord Lieutenant set out from the Castle; he was preceded by the gentle , men from the different parishes, arno»gst which We particularly noticed Audeon's, beating banners corn ' pbsed of white silk, bound with black. • On these banners were inscribed different, appropriate mottos., tlis Excellency followed surrounded diffetent officers, and followed by a long line of carriages. We have endeavoured to learn what was the exact extent of this immense line, and we understated that when his ExCellency was in - the Black Rock, the last 'of the carriages had not left Baggot-str:":tthiS is a distance of about three miles.. We should not forget to state, that in Beggot-street, the establish ment of Mr. Boylan was beautifully decorated with silken streamers ; upon one of them was inscribed " the Commander of the Cavalry d Waterloo now conunands our - gratitude." This excited loud cheers' from' every person who read it. "The different houses in 'Williamstown ;0 lie Rock Wer e. . . }Mpg With crape. - At about 6vo o'clock his Excellency arrived at Kingstown, and there the cheers, the shouts, the blessings, and the acclamations which had accom panied him from the time he left the Castle at Dublin, to the moment his . foot was placed at the steps in the harbour at Kingstown, were repeated, if possible redoubled, and the surrounding hills and the wide bay gave back the echo of myriads - of voices that shouted out " farewell to Anglesea." At the turning from the road to the harbour, there was collected on the roof of a tavern, a number of genuine Irishmen, who bade his Excellency adieu in the most characteristic manner, for they hail tilled to the brim, tutnblers'of " pure Irish whiSkey," and as his Excellency passed them, they ,raised them high in the air, and drank with enthusiasm "the hero of Waterloo—the best - Lord-Lieutenant Ireland ever saw." His Excellency ackmdwledged by 'a deep bow and smile this truly Irish mode of bidding - farewell to a beloved Lord-Lieutenant. At two o'clock the Martinis of Auglesea reached the pier, and there was then presented to him, by Sir Harcourt Lees, Bart. the address of the inhabi tants of Kingstown, to which he returned a suitable reply. Mr:o'ooamAN MAnoN then. addressed his Ex cJlency, and told him that he had arrived from Clare, with an address from that county to him. To this the Lord Lieutenant replied, that under the present state of his feelings, he should wish not to reply without having first , attentively .perused it; but * hoped that Mr. nahon would give it to 'his Se cretary, in order that he might be enabled to send an answer to it. His Excellency, then stepped on board his barge, accompanied by his brother, Admiral Sir Charles Paget, Lord WilliMn Pag6t, and his two youngest son , . The instant they had Stepped on board, the name of " Anglesea,". htirst fOrth front every lip— every head was uncovered,.aUd while he sailed rciund the bay to the Tiger higate, in which heembarked, the cheers were long, loud and continued. His Ex cellency repeatedly acknowledged the #eetings of the assembled thousand S.. His eyes were at one time suffused with tears, and he was evidently deeply affected with the demcnstratious of Irish gratitude that were offered. .• Upon the mind of his two youngest semi * the scene ha . d made they a strong impres sion for tis `dbiefiteiiigirik the hat, burst into tears. When the Tiger had sailed about a mile into the bay, it was met by the steam-boat, in Which he at once sailed for England. COMMON Couxctr.. 7 —At the close of this Aleeting, which was not conelud,d yesterday when we scent to press, the Recorder, in answer to some question respecting Vintry Ward, said that he had that morning seen the Lord Chief Justice, who had told him that he had written out a judgment on the cast, which would be settled shortly. DB UR - I-LANE TII LA TRE4—Yesterday,, by order of the executors of the late Peter AIo - ore, Esq. M.P., six shares. in the above-named establishment were sold at the Mart. They are 1001. joint stock or proprietors', shares, held for about 68 Years, and entitling the holder to a free admission for any one person for life : the whole produced 115 guineas. A renter's share in the same theatre, entitling the possessor to Is. 3d. each night of perthrmance, or about . 141. a-year, with a transferable free admission, hold for 68 years, sold for 220 guineas. The sale-room was crowded with members of the theatrical profession. A person was asked, if he did not think Cob hett fully acquainted with the concerns of the nation?— " I can't answer that," said the person, " but I'm sure he endeavours to make the nation: fully acquainted with his concerns." It will be seen that the. Mayor has called a public meeting of the inhabitants of Liverpool on the sub ject of the trade to India and China, to be held to-morrow week, the 28th inst. The requisition presented to the , Mayor on this subject was the most respectable we have ever seen on any similar. occasion. I.t comprises our wealthiest, most intelligent, and most influential merchants, without any distinction of party; and if the document had either been laid in a public place. for signature, or banded about with a wish to obtain a great number of names, the list might easily have been swelled to thousands. There is but one feeling in the town on this subject, which is, that the monopoly of the East India Company imposes a monstrous tax on the nation, and shuts us out from the most extensive field of commerce this country ever knew. -In every aspect in which the subject can be.viewed, whe ther as to England, India, or China,—as to the Company's commercial monopoly or its political government,—as to wealth, to civilization, to morals, or to religion, the pre sent system is considered in the highest degree absurd and prejudicial..—Liverpool Tinzcs. LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER RAIL wAY.—A long and interesting letter from Mr. Stephen, son, the engineer of this railway, appears in the " com panion to the Almana,k," describing the works on the line, and the progress made in them.
