In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.

LONDON- GAUGE OF RAILWAYS. COPY OF MINUTE OF THE LORDS OF THE COM MITTEE OF PRIVY COUNCIL FOR TRADE, ON THE REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS FOR IN QUIRING INTO THE GAUGE OF RAILWAYS. June 6, 1846. The Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade having had under their consideration the report referred to them of the Commissioners appointed by writ under her Ma jesty's Privy Seal, bearing date the 11th of July, in the ninth year of her Majesty's reign, to inquire whether in future Private Acts of Parliament for the construction of railways, provision ought to be made for securing an uniform gauge; and whether it would be expedient and practicable to take measures to bring the railways already constructed or in progress of construction i n Great Britain into uniformity of gauge, and to inquire whether any other mode could be adopted for obviating or mi:igating the evil apprehended as likely to arise from the break that will occur in railway com munications from the want of an uniform gauge;_ and having examined the printed evid ence adduced before the Commission; and having further had under their consideration documents fficially transmitted to them by the Great Western Railway Company, namely, "Observations on the Report of the Gauge Commissioners," "Additional Observations" on the same, and a letter, in which the Company suggest that certain dis tricts should be marked out, beyond the limits of which no lines of railway should be constructed on the broad or seven beg to submit the following report, suggesting theon which the t should adopt, in determining gauge men construction, or hereafter to be f t e h e e t cgotTee'which it appears to them advisable that suggesting railway con structed, the T g h e e n y e r a a r l e coofn opi nionc lu Commissioners have arrived with respect shall ;e n '. sions at which the . t of gauge for the to the advantages of unito o r f in t i y p o e s c v t i i n vely . be formed. convey ance of the internal traffic My Lords fully and entirely country.he establish the by which they are supported, incontestably serious evil," ' break of gauge is a very . . conclusion, that a ' (.. • concur i n soundness of the opinion and t thathev see the no facts reasonßeport, and the evidence - the Commissioners have expressed, setforth t o doubt in the til eso that none of the mecha nical the evil, " are calculated to remedy, in any important gauge. de gree, the inconveniences attending a break of g . , contrivances, or other methods proposed for mitigating' b ra e i e l i w i - The practical question which a f o y r s rn e n d ow on in th a e ct b i ; tion of Parlituneut is, whether, under the circumstances in which we findourselves placed, considerable portion of the o a i r i d fo muchur feet larger eight a p u o a r t a i on halfh a inchvin g n b l u e a g nfo e r a s l i n i f y e r j a utolisnte the narrow ad s rer c roa a s i -v i broad or operation seven in fe et the gauge, kingdom,and anotherhav i having be found of producing entire uniformity of gauge through out the country. The Commissioners, in the report presented to Parliament, have enterad minutely and at great length into an C ' .Xlll/11114" tion of the respectivemerits of the broad and the narrow gauge. • They state that— " After a full consiiiration of all the circumstances that have come before us, ind of the deductions we have made from the evidence, we ere led to conclude— " lie eithey gauge, but the on the broad gauge the motion n s Ist. e To of the a t t h as e p r a eg s s a ei es e t r h s e , sa no fe d ty e , ci a d c e c d o m p ti r a e o f d er a e t n i a is n d d u c e on t.ts - , generally more easy a; nigh velocities. " 2dly. That in reseed of speed, we consider the advan tages are with the broad gauge, but we think the publ i c safety would be endanpred in employing the greater capa• . bilities of the broad gatge much beyond their present use, except on roads more consolidated and more substantially and perfectly formed, then those of the existing lines. "idly. That in the commercial case of the transport of goods, we believe the narrow gauge to possess the greater convenience, and to be he more suited to the general traffic of the country. "4thly. That the broad gauge involves the greater outlay, and that we have not keen able to discover, either in the maintenance of way, inthe cost of locomotive power, or in the other annual expentes, any adequate reduction to com pensate for the additional first cost. " Therefore, esteeming the importance of the highest speed on express trains for the accommodation of a comparatively small number of persons, however desirable that may be to them, as of far less moment than affording increased con venience to the general commercial traffic of the country, we are inclined to consider the narrow gauge as that which should be preferred for general convenience; and, therefore, if it were imperative to produce uniformity, we should re commend that uniformity to be produced by an alteration of the broad to the narrow gauge, more especially when we take into consideration that the extent of the former at pre sent in work is only 274 miles, while that of the latter is not v 1 i e n n i le i f s, o fa n eci d u t til ha l t en t g h t e h, al w t e o r u a l t d i o b n e t o h f e t h l e e s s for co m s t l e y r t le o ss th t e ha la n tt l er 9 , o as well as the less difficult operation." And, after adverting tothe difficulties which present them selves to the adjustment of the difference of gauge, the Com missioners submit to Parliament the following recommenda tions:— " lst. lleq,t, the caw fote.g4et eight Inches and & half all public railways now under constiifetir - ne'realte tl be constructed, in Great Britain. " 2d. That, unless by the consent of the Legislature, it should not be permitted to the directors of any Railway Com pany to alter the gauge of such railway. " 3d. That, in order to complete the general chain of narrow gauge communication from the north of England to the southern coast, any suitable measure should be promoted to form a narrow gauge link from Oxford to Reading, and thence to Basingstoke, or by any shorter route connecting the proposed Rugby and Oxford line with the South-Western Railway. " 4th. That as any junction to be formed with a broad gauge line would involve a break of gauge, provided our first recommendation be adopted, great commercial conve nience would be obtained by reducing the gauge of the pre sent broad gauge lines to the narrow gauge, of four feet. eight inches and a half; and we, therefore, think it desirable that some equitable means should be found of pr o d uc i ng such en tire uniformity of gauge, or of adopting s uc h other course as would admit of the narrow gauge carriages passing, with out interruption or danger, along the broad gauge lines." My Lords have proceeded to the consideration of this sub ject with a deep sense of the importance of the question re ferred to them, and of the responsibility under which they are placed in advising the course hereafter to be followed. It has been seen that the Commissioners recommended -Ist. That equitable means should be found of producing entire uniformity of gauge by reducing the broad gauge lines to the narrow gauge. 2d. That all public railways now under construction, or hereafter to be constructed, in Great Britain, shall be formed on the narrow gauge. After long and anxious deliberation, my Lords are unable altogether to concur with the Commissioners in the full ex tent of these recommendations. __ _ they hav e Adverting to the vast expense which must be invol ve d i n an entire alteration of the broad gauge, and having regar d this tshgeacircumstances established, under wahnidch tothe the c companies employing interests acquired, my Lords cannot feel themselves justified in recom mending that it should be proposed to Parliament to compel the entire reduction of the seven feet gauge. They feel, with the Commissioners, that " they cannot recommend the Legis lature to sanction such an expense from the public moneys, nor do they think that the companies to which the broad gauge railways belong can be called upon to incur such an expense themselves (having made all their works with the authority of Parliament), nor even the more limited expense of laying down intermediate rails for narrow gauge traffic. Still less can they feel themselves justified in proposing that the expense of such alteration should be defrayed by a contri bution levied, as has sometimes been suggested, on the rest of the railway companies in Great Britain; and they are unable to suggest any other equitable or practicable means by which the desired uniformity of gauge could be obtained. The conclusion to which my Lords have come respecting the reduction of the broad gauge on existing lines neces sarily affects their opinion with regard to the future gauge of lines now in course of construction. If the line now extending from London to Exeter be pre served on the bread gauge, and yet all the railways in con nexion with it from the south, for which Acts have been ob tained, are to be formed on the narrow gauge, then it is ob vious that the inconvenience of the break of gauge will not only be continued, but will be increased in amount. Assuming that an absolute uniformity of gauge cannot be piii"suecfis ealeTtfal l t tatt eatlY.nrantical c0 , v1.4..ta guages to be used on the several railways already sanctioned, and to lay down such general regulations for the future, as an evil they cannot extension the of inconve nience inflicted on the passenger and goods traffic of the will prevent a t l h to e g i e • increase re e m an ed d y, fu a r n t d her will e c ountry within the narrowest attainable limits. They would, therefore, recomm en d th a t the lines for which Acts have been obtained, but which have not yet been com pleted to the south of the line from London to Bristol, should be permitted to be constructed on the broad gauge, as ori ginally intended. They have had some difficulty in coming to a conclusive opinion ou the case of the South Wales line. They are aware that strong arguments maybe adduced in favour of requiring this line to be constructed on the narrow gauge but, adverting to the great public importance of a continuous line of communication with the south of Ireland, and of a second line of railway communication from London to Ireland generally; and having regard to the value of a continuous line to Milford Haven, &c., for the furtherance of the public service; they are of opinion that, on the whole, it would be advisable that the South Wales line, together with its branch to Monmouth and Hereford, should, as originally sanctioned, be formed on the broad gauge. In the last session of Parliament an Act was obtained for forming a line of Railway from Rugby to Oxford. The Act contained the following clause : Cap. 188, sec. 3.—" That as a Commission has been ap pointed for inquiring whether provision ought to be made for securing an uniform guage in the construction of railways, and for other purposes in reference to the mode of obviating impediments to the internal traffic of the country) if, in con formity with the report of the said Commission, it shall appear to the Board of Trade expedient that rails of the same gauge as the rails of the London and Birmingham R a ilway should be laid down on the line hereby authorised between Oxford and Rugby, it shall be lawful for the said Board to order and require that such railway upon the said gauge shall be laid down and maintained, and that the Com pany hereby incorporated shall thereupon proceed with rea sonable dispatch to execute the same to the satisfaction of the Inspector-General of Railways for the time being: pro vided always, that nothing herein contained shall prevent the said Company from laying down and maintaining, on the whole or any portion of the sa i d line, rails of the same gauge as those now laid on the line o f th e G reat Western Railway." It is their Lordships' intention,lause, to require that the - in the exercise of the powers granted to them by this c narrow gauge rails shall be laid d own f rom R ug b y to O x f or d forthwith. _ interfere with the constru c ti on of the line on the b roa d submit that it is not necessary to gauge,They a w s o a u u l t d h , o t r h i s e e r d e fo b r y e , the Act. In order to complete the general chain of narrow guage communication from the north of England to the southern coast, they beg to repeat, with a slight variation, the suggestion of the Commissioners, that " any suitable measure should be promoted to form a narrow gauge link from Oxford to Basingstoke," or by any shorter route connecting the proposed Oxford and Rugby line with the South-Western Railway. With the same view they beg to suggest, that any suitable measure should be promoted for forming a narrow gauge link from Gloucester to Bristol, and so completing the general chain of narrow gauge communication between the manu facturing districts, the centre and north of England, and the port of :Bristol. The only line remaining for consideration is the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton. In the Act by which the Company was incorporated in last session the following clause ryas inserted : "That the said company hereby incorporated shall and they are hereby required to lay down and maintain upon the whole extent of the railway hereby authorised, between the point of junction thereof with the said Birmingham and Gloucester Railway at Abbotswood, and the point of junction thereof with the said Grand Junction Railway near Wolver hampton, as well as on the said branch railways by this Act authorised to Bingswinford and Stoke Prior aforesaid, such additional rails, adapted to the gauge of the said Birmingham and Gloucester and Grand Junction Railways respectively, as may be requisite for allowing the free and uninterrupted passage, as aforesaid ofcarriages, waggons, and trucks passing to or from the said Birmingham and Gloucester and the said Grand Junction Railways respectively, or from the last mentioned railway to the said Birmingham and Gloucester Railway, or passing from one portion of the said Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to another portion thereof, or to or from any intermediate place between the two said railways to the one or the other of them ; and such additional rails shall be laid down, and maintained and used to the satisfaction and approval of the Board of Trade, and all necessary facilities and accommodations shall be afforded by the company hereby incorporated, or their lessees, for the convenient use thereof ; and it shall be lawful for the said board at any time, on complaint being made by any company or person interested in the qucstion, that such additional rails have not been laid, or that such facilities or accommodations are not afforded, to order and direct the said company hereby incorporated, or their lessees as aforesaid, to adopt such regulations as they may see fit to require with reference to the laying down of such additional rails, or to the use of the said additional rails and other conveniences as aforesaid, and for the purpose of securing such free and uninterrupted passage thereon as aforesaid." It is their Lordships' intention to exercise the power given to them in this instance, as in the case of the Oxford and Rugby line; and on the same grounds they would submit that it is not necessary to interfere with the construction of this portion of the line on the broad gauge in the manner authorised by the Act. Ano, since they regard the break of gauge as a most serious evil, more especially in the conveyance of goods, they conceive that a continuous and a second line of communica tion between London and the district of Staffordshire, &c., must be regarded as of great value and importance. TheN , accordingly submit that the line from Worcester to Oxford should be made, as proposed, on the broad gauge. They regret that a provision for the formation of a second line of rails was not inserted in the Act affecting a portion of the line between Oxford and Worcester, in the terms of the clause regulating the portion lying between the Birmingham and Gloucester line and Wolverhampton ; and they would recommend that if it should hereafter appear that there is a traffic requiring accouncdatien on the narrow gauge between the Staffordshire €listricts and the southern coasts, any suit able measure shoula be promoted by Parliament to form a narrow gauge link from the Birmingham and Gloucester line to Oxford, on the same grounds and in the same manner as the Commissioners have recommended that it should be formed between Oxford and the South-Western Railway. Having thus adverted in detail to the several railways now proposed to be constructed on the broad gauge, and already sanctioned by Parliament, my Lords beg leave to submit the regulations they would recommend to be observed for the future. My Lords do not feel themselves competent to give an opinion on the question alluded to by the Commissio ners of the merits of the four fe e t e i g ht and a half inch gauge' as compared with any other among those that have been pro posed. In suggesting, therefore (with some exceptions to be spe cified), the adoption of the recommendation made by the Commissioners, that the "four feet eight and a half inch gauge should be declared by the Legislature to be the gauge to be used in all public railways" " hereafter to be con structed in Great Britain," they do not conceive that any de claration on this point should be understood as positive and final. The working of the wider gauge established in Ire land, and the future history of railways in other countries, may possibly prove the superiority of some other and inter mediate gauge; while the advance of science and the course of experience may point out a practicable method of altering an existing gauge, and of easily effecting a great operation which is now generally conceived to be so costly and so difficult as, in truth, to be impracticable. • With this explanation, my Lords beg to recommend that no line shall hereafter be formed on any other than the four feet eight and a half inch gauge, excepting lines to the south of the existing line from London to Bristol, and excepting small branch lines of a few miles in extent, joining the Great Western Railway, and conveying to it the traffic of places in its immediate vicinity; and they further recommend that no Bill for any such line as above excepted shall be passed by Parliament unless a special report shall have been made by the Committee on the Bill, setting forth the particular rea sons which have led the Committee to advise that such line should be formed on any other than the four feet eight and a half inch gauge. They concur, also, with the Commissioners in recommending that,. unless by the co = ,• , airilpAish6 l .lA l l2itrralViZCl totakeke. .; my Lords beg leave to r eca pit u l a t e th e suggest i ons they have felt it their duty to make :- 1. That no line shall hereafter be formed on any other than the four feet eight and a half inch gauge, excepting lines to the south of the existing line from London to Bristol, and excepting small branches of a few miles in length, in immediate connexion with the Great Western Railway ; but that no such line as above excepted shall be sanctioned by Parliament, unless a special report shall have been made by the Committee on the Bill, setting forth the reasons which have led the Committee to advise that such line should be formed on any other than the four feet eight and a half inch gauge. 2. That, unless by the consent of the Legislature, it shall not be permitted to the directors of any raiiway company to alter the gauge of such railway. 3. That, in order to complete the general chain of narrow gauge communication from the north of England to the southern coasts, and to the port of Bristol, any suitable mea sures should be promoted to form a narrow gauge link from Gloucester to Bristol, and also from Oxford to Basingstoke, or by any shorter route connecting the proposed Rugby and Oxford line with the South-Western Railway. 4. That the South Wales line and its branches to Mon mouth and Hereford should be permitted to be formed on the broad gauge, as sanctioned by their Act. 5. That the Rugby and Oxford line, and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line, should be permitted to be formed on the broad gauge, as sanctioned by their Acts ; that the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade shall exercise the powers conferred upon them by the several Acts, and shall require that additional narrow gauge rails shall forthwith be laid down from Rugby to Oxford, and from Wolverhampton to the junction with the Birming ham and Gloucester line ; and that if it should hereafter appear that there is a traffic requiring accommodation on the narrow gauge from the Staffordshire districts to the southern coast, any suitable measure shall be promoted by Parliament to form a narrow gauge link from Oxford to the line of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway.

By W " H. Maxwell, Esq., Author of " O' Stories of Waterloo. " There's enough of life crowded into these three volumes to set up an ordinary romance-maker for ten years. Mr. Maxwell loses no time in dry detail, but plunges at once into the wildest and most stirring scenes. Animal spirits are rampant all through . the book ; a keen sense of fun, and a resolution to hunt it down wherever it may be, are the author's characteristics, but under the roystering, reckless, Irish dragoon-manner of the writer, there is a world of shrewd observation and humour. We can cordially recommend 'Certain O'Sullivan' to the attention of the numerous class of readers who are evil-minded enough to read novels, not for political grai7, not for mafal lessons, not for philosophical disquisition, but for the sole purpose of being amused."_ Court Journal. y> , - _.; .. , ,--at.): THE GRAND POLISH—B L .., 'z- - fr ' ii., ...0.0"4 7R-,,_. , •.4b On Monday 111 - erunilll grand fancy and full dr r. , - 4. ~,-,„; aid of the funds of the Literary Association of the 'et r ft., s z;0 - i ----- - • Poland, took place at Willis's Rooms (Almack's . AlOll most flattering auspices. We were informed, from an authentic source, that VaSht° were above 1,000 ticket s t a k en, but the company did n o coed 850 in number, including some of the highest aristocracy. The funds, therefore, will be materially increased. The company began to arrive in quick succession at 10 o'clock, and about 11, when the ball-room boasted a large muster, the band struck up the national anthem of Poland "leszcze Polska nie zgineba" (Poland is not yet lost). The dancing then :commenced with the Marchioness of Sligo's quadrille, which was followed by Lady Caroline San ford's " Rose" quadrille ; Lady Charles Fitzroy's quadrille of the months and seasons; and these set dances concluded with Viscountess Palmerston's lance quadrille and the Hon. Mrs. Dawson Damees mazourka. The ball-room, when the leading company had congre gated, presented a superb coup erceil, the brilliancy and variety of the fancy costumes and recheree dresses of Abe ladies being fully equal to the balls of previous years. We only regret that we cannot, from want of space, give amore detailed notice of this splendid ball, more especially as the ladies patronesses have rendered every exertion to promote the charitable views of Lord Dudley Stuart, whose untiring sympathy for the unfortunate Poles, obliged from political persecution to re pair to these hospitable shores, is deserving of the highest admiration. Jullien and Kcenig's bands occupied the orchestra. A pleasing manifestation of loyal and devoted feeling to our gracious Sovereign was displayed at the hour of midnight the band, even to the interruption of a quadrille, striking up " God save the Queen," in ho nour to the eve f her Majesty's birth-day. It was pleasing to observe that all the arrangements were completely successful, and too much praise cannot be awarded to the Secretary of the association for his endeavours in facilitating the assembling of the several fancy quadrilles iu the different rooms, and otherwise promoting the comforts of the company. From the great number of splendid fancy dresses, it would be impossible to particularise the more magnificent. The young Baboo Nagundrowauth Tajons wig present, ist the rich costume of his country, and Mohun Lal WAS also among the distingushed strangers. We subjoin a condensed list of the elite of the company : His Excellency the Belgian Minister and Madame Van de Weye r , M .

Ware's trial of speed for 201. a-side, distance 150 yards, came off on Mon day, at the inclosed ground, at Mr. Emmerson's, Ealing. The betting, before starting, was 3 to 2 on Ware, although a week ago Lambden appeared to have the call. If yesterday's running be a fair specimen of the ability of Lambden (who measures something like 5 ft. 10 ins., and is an angular bony fellow), this ought to be his last appearance f or a h eavy stake. Ware, his opponent, is about five feet five, clever and quick, although the latter qualification was hardly called for in this race. For the first forty yards the men ran together, Ware going easy ; shortly after he left his man, and about the eightieth looked over his shoulder at him. At 100 yards Ware was four years in advance, and at the goal he might have been any where ; as it was he rattled in an easy first by about seven yards. WALKER AND MARTIN—After some discussion respecting a bygone affair, in which a forfeit had been made to East by a gentleman who had undertaken to find a man to run back wards against Johnny Walker, the pugilist, a match was made on the spur of the moment for Johnny Walker to run young Martin 100 yards backwards for a small sum. The men were soon at the scratch, and eventually little Martin won by_ a couple of yards. Walker's ankle was Buzaine t Li D A at Kingston Bottom, for 51. a aide, distance 110 yards. In consequence of mutual jostling, the umpires refused a decision and declared the men should run again. Accordingly, Tem perance, who is stakeholder, has named Monday next (15th) as the day, and Ealing as the place, for the decision of the race. EFFECTS OF THE WEATHER IN THE IRON MAND FACTORTE,S.—So intense has been the heat throughout the whole district during the week, th at most of the principal works have been stopped, the men being unable to proceed with their labour. The men at Goldshill, Toll-end, Imperial, and Brudswick works have suffered considerably. It is utterly impossible for any human being to stand the tem perature of blast furnaces. AFFRAY AT LIMEROUSE PIER.—On Monday Mr. Baker, deputy coroner, commenced an investigation at the Feathers, Cross-street, Poplar, touching the death of George Palmer, who was drowned at Limehouse Pier, on the afternoon of Saturday, by a man named Henry Brown thrusting him from the pier into the water. It appears that deceased, the accused, and another man, were all well known to each other, and had been drinkieg together, and were about to go on beard one of the Watermen steam-boats, when a quarrel arose, which led to the unfortunate result. Brown is In custody. The inquiry was adjourned for further evidence, and the jury requested that the coroner should make an application to Sir James Graham to obtain the Secretary of State's order for the pro duction of Brown at the future stage of the proceedings. _ — ROBBERY AT LORD S. LEN NOX'S.L-On Monday infor mation.lllll was received by the police of a daring robbery having been committed at the residence of Lord Sussex Lennox, No. 150, Pima. dilly, apd two silver teapots, with the Lennox crest on the handles, two flat silver candlesticks, similarly marked, a number of table and dessert forks and spoons, cream jug, sugar basin, two salt cellars, mustard pot, and other articles, carried off by the thieves. It 15 not known how the robbery was committed. STATUE OF SIR WALTER SCOTT.—This beautiful white marble colossal statue, from the chisel of our eminent sculptor. Mr. Steell, is now in such a state of forwardness, that we understand it will be ready to be placed on its pedestal, in the monument in Prince's-street, on tits 15th of August, the anniversary Of the natal day of the great novelist and poet. We understand that the orna mental parapet and railing round the monument has been contracted for, and promised to be ready, as well as the promenade-grounds, by the 15th of August, on which day there will be a greed proces sion and inauguration of the statue, at which the public bodies and the masonic lodges here, and from many parts of Scotland, will give their attendance and assistance.—Scotch paper. MONKEYS AND Dons.—A troop of these animals has been imported from France by Mousier Philippe, as a fresh attrac tion to the Strand Theatre.
