GENTLEMEN, SOME weeks ago I used the freedom of ad dressing you in this form, and of warning you that your Committee were hurrying you into the expense of a Parliamentary contest for the sake of carrying a parti cular line, which, however necessary to the success of the Garnkirk and Glasgow Railway, has nothing to recom mend it in a general point of view. My prediction has proved correct, and you are now on the brink of the whirlpool of a contested Bill ; but it still lies with your selves to decide whether you will be engulphed. If there he any one of you simple enough to believe that your Committee have selected, and are pushing on, the Garnkirk and Edinburgh Line on public grounds, and with reference to no interests but that of the public and 'yourselves, let bins peruse the following anatomy of your Council, and then reflect whether an unbiassed choke of a line can be expected from it :- 1. Messrs. Grainger and Miller, engineers for the Garnkirk and Glasgow Railway, and for the Blythswood Tunnel Scheme. The siiggesters of the Garnkirk and Edinburgh Line. V. Mr. Hill, agent for the Garnkirk and Glasgow Railway, and also for the Tunnel Scheme. a Mr. Davidson, ditto, ditto, a holder of Garnkirk and Glas gow Railway Stock, and of 2,900/. in the Tunnel Scheme. 4. Mr. T. Sprot, W.S. brother of the proprietor of Garnkirk, a large holder of Garnkirk Railway Stock, awl of Shares in the Tunnel Scheme, agent for both of those concerns. 5. Mr. Speirs, holder of 5,2581. in the Tunnel Scheme. Mr. Thomson, holder of Garnkirk Railway Stock. 7. Mr. Tennant, proprietor of St. Rollox, and grounds ad joining, where the Garnkirk Railway terminates. A large holder of Garnkirk Railway Stock. A holder, by himself, or his family, of 3,0001. in the Tunnel Scheme. A director of both concerns. d. Mr. Sprott, proprietor of Garnkirk Estate. A large holder of Garnkirk Railway Stock, and a director of that concern. 9. Mr. Lang, proprietor of the Lands on the Garnkirk and Glasgow line. A holder of Garnkirk Railway Stock. Holder of 1,100/. in the Tunnel Scheme. 10. Mr. Cooper, Mr. Tennant's partner in St. Rollo): works. A holder of Garokirk Railway Stock, and of 1,000/. in the Tunnel Scheme. 11. Mr. Hussey, Mr. Davidson's father.in-law. 12. Mr. Crass, a large holder of Garnkirk Hallway Stock. Holder of 1,0001. in the Tunnel Scheme. The remaining three members of your Committee, Messrs. Gray, Stevenson, and Donaldson, are not, so far as I know, similarly interested ; but what weight can they have in such an assemblage of Garnkirk Railway and Blyths,,vood Tunnel proprietors, who must have thirty or forty thousand pounds embarked in these two speculations ? " Oh, monstrous !---but one halfpenny worth of bread to this intolerable deal of sack !" Of the two lines of Railway proposed between Edin burgh and Glasgow, it is now perfectly understood, and generally admitted, that Mr. Jardine's south line will meet with no opposition ; but the line which you are to he made the instruments of endeavouring to force on the public, is certainly to be opposed by-Ist, The Union Canal Company; 2d, The Edinburgbshire Road Trustees; 3d, The Bathgate Road Trustees; 4th, The Ballochney Railway Company; sth, The Kirkintilloch Railway Company ; 6th, The Proprietors of the Glasgow Junction Canal; besides, in all probability, the Inehbelly Road Trustees, the Port Dundas Road Trustees, the Garscube Road Trustees, and the Dumbarton Road Trustees, near Glasgow, and a number of landed proprietors on the Edin burgh and Garnkirk line, and others, whose most impor tant interests are intended to be wantonly sacrificed in order to provide a feeder to the Garnkirk Railway and Blytbswood Tunnel. In the prospect of such a ruinous expensive contest , have your opinions been asked, or your wishes consulted ? Have your Committee put to you the reasonable and simple question, " Are you willing to hazard your money in an all but hopeless attempt to force the Garnkirk line ?" Or, is it not the case that you hare never once been consulted or recognized even in the selection of your soi-disant Committee, engineers and agents ?—Now is your time, however. Upon the meeting of Parliament next month, you will be returned, upon oath, as subscribers to the project, and parties to the approaching contest, unless you previously address a letter to Messrs. Hill and Davidson, solicitors, Glasgow, withdrawing your names, and desiring them not to return you as subscribers to the undertaking. Neglect this,—and twelve months hence, when you are called upon to pay your 10 or 20 per cent. of expellees, you will regret not having taken the advice of AN ADVOCA TE FOR FAIR PLAY. P.S.—Since writing the above, I observe that a call of " one and a half per cent., to be immediately paid," has been made upon you ;—this has been done without any general meeting of the subscribers ever having been held ; and if you comply with the demand, you will thereby not only throw away your money, but commit yourselves in such a manner as to render it next to impossible for you afterwards to get out of the undertaking. A NEW DISCOVERY FOR FILLING DECAYED TEETH. 1/1, 0N S . J. MALLAN, Surgeon-Dentist, 171 9, Half-Moon-street, Piccadilly, grateful for the high and extensive patronage which has so eminently distin guished his professional exertions since his arrival in the British Metropolis, respectfully announces to his Friends and the Public in general, that he still continues to fill de cayed Teeth, with his celebrated MINERAL SUCCEDA NEUM, so universally recommended by the Faculty of London and Paris. The operation of the Filling Teeth is performed in a few seconds, without the slightest pain, heat, or pressure ; also FASTENS LOOSE TEETH, in a manner singularly efficacious, and SUPPLIES WHOLE or PARTIAL SETS of TEETH of the above INCORRODIBLE MINERAL or Natural Substinces, without WIRE en other LlGATURES—guaranteed to answer every purpose for Articulating and Masticating. The Faculty are respectfully invited to witness the opera tion of Filling Decayed Teeth. INDIGESTION and all its concomitant symptoms, head-ache, loss of appetite, oppression, heart-burn, flatulence, costiveness, and a long train of nervous affections, are instantly relieved by that excellent and popular medicine, THORBY'S STOMACH AND BILIOUS PILLS. It will repay the reader of this ad vertisement to retake one trial of them. They contain neither calomel or mercury, and are the best antidote known for the horrors of a disorganized or deranged stomach. In dependently of their great efficacy in Dyspepsia, they will be found invaluable as :a Family Aperient Medicine, and may be taken under any circumstances.

These subjects are illus trated by a variety of highly inttrestir,g cases, together with the miseries of a Secret Vice, so long and so un happily pursued by the youth of both sexes. In the one it will be found the unfailing source of barrenness, the other have its ravages fatally developed by a distressing state of debility, which, if not timely remedied, terminates in impotence; these are its remote and ultimate effects, while Consumptions, loss of Muscular Power, and various Nervous Complaints, usually characterise the earlier stages of this most destructive and insidious habit, for the cure of which a Riede of treatment, the re.,ult of long and success.. ful practice, and at once safe, speedy, and eft:ecttial; is adopted by the Author.

Yesterday, during the whole day, the Guildhall dis olayed such a scene as has seldom been witnessed. The Shaw party were hooted as they advanced to the poll, and here was not a voter for Waithman, particularly if he aappened to belong to a fire-office, or to any other esta blishment, who did not receive the most.tremendous ap plause as he quitted the poll-clerks. At three o'clock, vhen the books were closed for the day, there must have oeen upwards of 1,000 persons in the hall. Soon after that time the following numbers were exhibited : Shaw Waithman 1,292 The Sheriff immediately advanced to the front of the hustings, and requested that the multitude would show fair play upo❑ this occasion, and allow all persons who should present themselves to be heard. Sir JAMES Straw made his appearance amidst yells, and groans, and hisses, intermixed with applause, and cries of " Bravo." He addressed the meeting, but was heard hut by two or three persons. It was, he said, with the greatest pride that be looked to the state of the poll. It proved, that notwithstanding all that had been said to pre judice his cause, the public were not to be persuaded that he was a❑ unfit candidate for the honourable situation to which he aspired. His majority on the day's poll was nearly as great as that which he exhibited on Satui day ; and it was to be recollected that Monday was the day, of all others, on which his Hon. Opponent calculated. Me most sincerely thanked the public for having made such stre nuous exertions in his favour, and he thanked them for the exertions which they intended to continue, if indeed his worthy opponent should persist in the ineffectual struggle. He considered it to be his incumbent duty to recommend that the contest should cease upon the part of his worthy friend. He should be far from suggesting such a course if it did not appear to him that the cause was already com pletely decided. Besides, the city of London was engaged at this moment in important public works, which were at a complete stand, in consequence of the non-appointment of the Chamberlain. Alderman WAITH3IAN then stood forward amidst shouts of applause. If, he said, Sir James Shaw had not had fair play, it was not his (Waithman's) fault.—(Laughter.) The meeting might rest assured that he regretted •nothing so deeply as the practice of not hearing what his Opponent had to say. The practice was unjust to both sides ; and he trusted the public feeling would be so far checked in its ex pression for the future that every syllable would be attended to. Indeed, the refusal of the livery to hear his antagonist and the worthy Baronet's myrmidons, effectually prevented him from entering into details and descriptions which were calculated to show the nature of the combination against him. If, therefore, he refrained from reflecting on individuals, it was not because he had not matter enough for weighty ac cusation, but because a sense of public justice influenced him to pass them by, in the belief that no ear would be lent to their defence.—(Loud cheers.)—" Open the se crets of the prison -house," however, he certainly should, upon a fitting occasion, and he should not spare those who had signalized themselves by a desertion of their pledges and their principle.. He felt anxious to remove any impression which any observation of his might have made, from a mistake on the part of those who heard him. He alluded to a report that had gone abroad that Alderman Wood's Deputy had been canvassed against him. Ile begged to be understood as not having alluded to Mr. Deputy Pullen, a worthy, and most respectable and con sistent man. But Alderman Wood and two Deputies, one of whom was Mr. Lambert Jones, a gentleman who had acted a leading part upon Alderman Wood's commit tee, at the last contested election for the city of London, and who well knew that when that worthy Alderman was pressed by Alderman "enables, Waielitrian's committee poured in a flood of voters and overpowered all the struggles of opposition.—(Cheere.)—That worthy De puty was the man who appeared in the ranks of the enemy.—(Cries of " Oh fie, Jones !" " Oh, woods and forests, Jones !")—Never was there any thing like this election. Never was there so gross an exhibition of in gratitude. Ile cast no imputation upon those who had differed from him in opinion on political matters. They had done as it might be expected they would do.—(l. o ud cheers.)—Although the spirit of party had subsided, it was still to be regretted that the advocates of the Pitt system would stand by one of its undeviating supporters; but what could be said of those who uci formly spurned and abhorred that system, and who, not having the spirit to act with vigour, lugged him into the conflict, at the same time that they started back appalled at the very shadow of opposition ?—(Loud cheers, and cries of " Scandalous, shame, shame.")—What could be said of these men, for whom he had devoted days and nights, in getting up petitions, and remonasrances, and appeals, and who were frightened out ~ ;.c their wits at the very name of opposition? He begged the meeting to look at Bishopsgate Ward -- that pure ward —many of the re presentatives of which had led up troops against him, without being able, by their own confession, to state one reason against him, either of a private or a public nature. —(" Shame, shame.")—Mr. Peacock was one of the members of that ward. Although Peacock was a f a no bird, he had disfigured it already, and he would penhalily pluck a few feathers more out of its tail,—(Laughter and cheers.)—Where was the great Mr. Stephens, who (tut stripped all in public virtue Why, a meeting had been held in Bishopsgate for Reform on the day before the pre sent election—it had been held for Mr. Stephens's darling measure of Reform, and up walked that worthy and pa triotic individual next day to join in the attempt to put Waithman down.—(Loud groans and cheers,)—Now, as to whether the question was or was 7,1,,t a political one, he should say a few words. t was evident that Sir James Shaw's political p ,a;'sy considered it a politi ca l question, for th e y adhned to him en the occaedon to a man, and they manifested a consistent and irreproachable tena city of purpose. He gave them credit for their zeal and • laborious efforts. (Loud cries, in which many of Sir James's friends en the hustings joined.) But in propor tion as they were to be applauded, the base deserters from the opposite standard were to be hated and despised ; for of all the vices by which he,rnan nature was degraded, the worst was ingratito4,— . . „ " That ma;bs,e-taearted fiend, " Atm , hAous than the sea monster." (Cheers.) But the ingratitude of his political friends—(Laughter) —in solved ingratitude to the Livery of London as well as to him. It was a refinement which public bodies were not in the habit of witnessing, bet which be trusted the Livery would never again give the opportunity of exercis ing. It had beer, said, over and over again, that the question vas not a political one. WA let the Livery cQnaider it in any other light, Let them not look to his political conduct., Let them merely look to his conduct as a Magistrate, lo the performance of all his other duties to his f:llow.citizens. The worthy Alderman then parti cularized his exertions with respect to the Orphans' Fund, the question relating to the coals, ? aid the numerous ques tions of great public importance, of which he had been thy mover, and which had brought to a successful issue by his unwearied, aid, dt first, almost unassisted exertions. From those a;ibjects he passed on to an animatui description of a . junta in the Common Council, exercising controul over the Corporation. He hoped that such a junta would be broken up by the Artu resistance of the Livery, for the mem bers of the obnoxious body assumed to themselves, a dictatorial power and they had given anothez Ample of those principles by confederating agaie,;-.i him.—(Cheers.) As to the " Reformers" who were caw arrayed against him, their mouths were Onset' iar ever—if they should heese after appear where he did to support the cause of Refor . ra, ins only reply or notice should he " turn them out."—(Cheers am! laughter.) C,ne gentleman had said to him, " I never voted faz you, and L am not going to vote fur you now ; but I must say, never was mac. co mis used as you have been by your friends."-,-(Loud cries of hear.) But prydep had long no described the renegade character : " The renciaauev ne'er turn such by halves, Til;')"'Xi: bound by conscience to be double knaves." • ( Loud cheering and laughter.) lie had exposed the renegadoes a little—but he would expose them a good deal more. Nor were these discusei.a.ii useless. They tended to keep alive the spirit cf liberty, and to show the necessity of exertion s!.nd watchfulness. He repeated, Llw cause was in their hands. If defeated, there were those who woutd be: delighted ; but he would, coffer much less than' they 'imagined, when he recollected by what means defeat would be aelievzd...-however, all such persons, b e would " Leave to Heave:. And to those thorns that in their , i , q;°; 4 s To goad and sting tht , ni." —(lmt enst! cheering, am:Ass-which Mr. Alderman Waith map ret,i7ed,',--Tho ROI then adjourned till this morning.

The London Newspapers, within these few days, have favoured the public with a variety of state ments as to the warlike preparations whir-11112,e been set on foot in most Of the great steles of Ell rope, and the contracts whielt have been entered into with English mermfactureire, for the supply of arms to Franca, Russia, and Prussia. In one at• count tultoof::WFsrataincide,o6f 00470t1laireforh'cours• special inquiry i n to the subject, we Can confidently Russia, ei o i i r fs n and manufacture aarendu 300,000 fta1c1at for Prussia. R av i ng made say,:that most of the statements so put forth are it:. correct, although some are partially true. Ta a f ee l. lowing will he found to be the facts of the ease : In the month of November last the French Go vernment despatched agents to Birmingham, where they were led to understand they might upon the instant purchase from 400,000 to 500,000 staeti isrms.. The contemplated use of these arms was the equipment of the National Guard. Upon inquiry, however, the French agents found they were mis taken as to the areouut of ready-made nistskets to be obtained in this tease, and we e. in consequence, recommended by the Birminghaut manufacturers, to apply to the British Government for assistance. Ever since the close of the war, a large depot of arrrs had been established in the Tower ; and it Has known to our makers, from repeated conferences with Sir H. Hardiuge, and other late officers in the Ordnaece Department, that of this warlike stock the Govern ment were deairous to dispose. Accordirigly,s the French agents adopted this advice, arid immediately entered into a negotiation with the linglaih Govern. ment. At first their applieatiorie appeared to be de cidedly successful; but sula , equeuily, owh,g either to the unsettled state of Ireland, or the conamotions, and threatening prospects of our own couutty, the GovernMent declined to part with the arms, and the negotiation was abruptly broken off. This imme diately led to a renewal of the correepaudence with the Birmingham manufacturers ; the principal agent on the part of the French Government being no other person than Mr. Rothschild, the eminent ca pitalist arid money-broker. The total number stated to be required by the Fiera Government is 140,000 stand of arms, and nor, as variously stated by the London papers, 500,000, and 1,400,000. As yet, however, the only order given is fur 20,000 ; the contractor. for the supply of which are Wheeler and Son ; Wooley, Sergeant, and Fairfax; Ketland and Co., arid Mr. Adams, •f this town ; and Bran der and Potts; Barnet and Sun, and Lacy, and Wilton, of London. The period %lips:sited for the execution of this first cau , ract is limited to the month of January, slid is now nearly, if nut entirely, fulfilled. The contract for the remaining 120,000 arms, we have reason to believe, was confirmed by the French Government, or their agents, on Satur day last. The whole of this coetract is required to be completed in seven months. Great mistakes have been propagated as to, the prices for which the English manufacturers offered to execute the contracts. The price of each musket is not, as stated by the Times, 37 francs, or about 30s. sterling; but about franc., or about 23 a , sterling. Some idea may be formed of the reduc tion which has taken place in this, as in all other branches of manufacture, when the fact is 'moon, that during the war the ordinary contract price of the muskets supplied to the British Goveremesit was 365. The prices now paid by the French are, however, considered liberal. The effect which this acceptable spur has created in Birmieghero is 0- ready risible. Owing to the long comparative extinction of the trade, since the close of the war, the operative departments had hero abaiiJoned ha the workmen, for other more certain and permanent sources of employment and aubsietence. These men elated by the temporary prospect afforded by the present contract, are now in numbers returning to their old avocation', For gun-locks, which during thebeginning of last year was paid Is. 2d. each, the. manufacturers are nowead to give 9se6d. While upon this point we may correct an error into which one of our metropolitan contemporaries has fallen regarding the capability of Birmingham in the fabrication of fire arms. The same paper which states the recent con tracts as amounting to 1,400,000 stand of arms, as serts that the Birmingham manufacturers would re quire fourteen years for the completion of so ex tensiee an order. We have the mean* at hand which afford a ready contradictor) to this assumption. By reference to a table in Mr. Parson's pamphlet on the manufacture of fire-arm., we lied that, in the year 1813, there were fabricatted 41 Birmingham, for the Board of Ordnance, uot less than 320,64.3 stand of arms, and in 1812, 288,741. From the statement set forth in this pamphlet, from authorised returns, it further appears, from the yea: 1804 to 1815, more than two-thirds of the fire-arms made for the Board of Ordnance during war were made in Birmingham. Allowing for the reduction in the number of hands which hiss necessarily taken place within these few year., there is no doubt but at the present time the manufacturers of Birmingham could set up 200,000 stand of arms per annum, while those of London would produce from 80,000 to 100,000. The last error propounded by the London Press, which we shall notice, is, the report of contracts for the supply of arms being entered into with Russia and Prussia. Applications, as fur us we can learn (and we presume our authority is •f that character• that it cannot be disputed or contradicted) have not been received from either of those countries. Holland and Belgium have been iu the market, but the want of money, and the insecurity of all engage ments at the present moment, with those dis tracted States,speedily put an end to all negotiation. Poland, too, has had iTs agents in Birmingham ; but the singularly novel and unsafe conditions it re required from our gun - manufacturers, has prevented, up to this time, any contract being accepted. The condition demanded, was the safe delivery of the arms in Poland ! If we are to judge from the amount of new arms required by the Poles, their army will not enter the field in such insigniacant numbers, as some of the French papers c;ve the world to understand. The application to the Bir mingham manufacturers was for 50,000 stand—the only obstacle to the completion of the order *as the condition to which we have alluded. - - DOVER, JAN. 29.—A melancholy occur irence took place on the voyage of his Majesty; packet Salamander yesterday, with mail and porsentrs, to Calais. The packet but reached within &boat six Miles of her port, when one of the passengers threw himself front the 4%4.1m5-deck into the sea.
