He adverted to a project of a similar nature that was agitated in the town twenty-five years since, the principle of which was to connect more closely the town of Stamford, by means of cheaper and quicker conveyance, with the metropolis, and also with the western and northern parts of the kingdom, whence was brought the produce of the mines and ar ticles indispensable to general trade. He made allu sion to that project, because he thought that the gen tlemen who were favourable to it—some of whom he saw in the room, could not but give their support to the present proposition. The plan now proposed was more extensive than that he had spoken of, but he would contend, without fear of opposition, that it was entirely the same in principle as far as it affected Stamford and its vicinity. After. noticing the con templated railroads from the metropolis to Birming ham and Liverpool, to Bristol, and to Southampton, he came to that upon the north road, and pointed out the line as we have before extracted it from the prospectus into this paper. It would besides ex tend to Hull, to Leeds, Sheffield, and other manufacturing towns, traffic from all of which places would contribute as well to the success of the road in a pecuniary point of view, as to the advantage of all other towns with which the road was to be con nected. The advantages, by the facilities it would give to the transit of goods, would be confined not only to tradesmen, merchants, and the cultivators of the Soil, but would extend - to the community at 'large, which includes every class of society. A leading con sideration with the gentlemen connected with the un dertaking, was that it would prove to the landed in terest of the greatest service possible, and if any per son had opportunities of referring to the evidence given before the Birmingham rail-road committee, they would be convinced of this assertion. They would there find evidence from able men of the decided advantages of a quick conveyance of the produce of the soil ; and be thought by the testimony of those gentlemen before a committee of parliament, no doubt could re main as to the good that would arise to the agricul tural interest. He contended that all those alarms which appeared to have entered into the minds of the tradesmen of Stamford were erroneous. They imagined by this communication that it would bring London to Stamford, and take Stamf or d t o L on d on, an d that the Stamfordians, instead of dealing in the town, would purchase their commodities in L on d on .

Mr. MORISON, the HYGEIST, and the BRITISH PUBLIC. "We think it a duty which we owe to the public, to ex press our strongest disapprobation of the unmerited prejudice which has been attempted against this reformer of medical abuses. For a considerable period the fame of Mr. Morison has been commensurate with the utility of his medicine ; and not only Europe, but America, has paid a just tribute to his skill and in tegrity. It had long been known that the medical profession was deficient either in skill or honesty to afford relief, and the apo thecaries of England were almost becoming as mal-odorous as the physicians of France under the pen of Moliere. At length Mr. iklorison gave to the world a practical proof, that a Universal Me dicine, composed of Vegetable ingredients, could effect cures when the most talented professors of the healing art had failed of success. Of course, he was assailed, like every other reformer in science, politics, or religion. A Galileo or a Hervey, a Russell or a Lu ther, could not have been attacked with more impetuosity and ran cour. But Mr. Morison has outlived the abuse, and proved how forcible are facts and good intentions against wedded prejudices and vested interests. '• The foregoing remarks are calledforth by the proceedings in the King v. Webb, which have been trumpeted forth to the public with an intention to prejudice the Hygeists. " In the case alluded to, a young man, who was ill of a malignant small-pox, took some of Mr. Morrison's pills. His friends preju dices became excited. They applied to a medical man, who adopted a mode of treatment altogether different. The result was —the death of the patient. An inquest is taken, the stomach is found inflamed, and a medical man gives his opinion that death was caused by inflammation, and that the Pills of Mr. Morrison are composed of a deleterious drug—to wit, Gamboge, and the vender of the Pills, Mr. Webb, is convicted of manslaughter. It is not our province to attack juries, judges, or apothecaries ; but we cannot help observing, that a more strange verdict we never heard of. What inference could be drawn unfavourable to Mr. Morison's Pills, when it is evident the patient had taken other medicine, at variance with his former treatment? We forbear going into further particulars, lest we should be accused of lending ourselves to support one individual at the expense of another. Our remarks apply to'the principle of the decision and its unfair deduc tion, as also the severity of the sentence. No human ingenuity could fix exclusive blame on one person, when two had been co operative ; and where uncertainty prevailed, surely the defendant was entitled to a lenient consideration. ' But then, Mr. Morison's medicine is deleterious,' sap the country surgeon, because it is composed of gamboge.' This is monstrously absurd. Gamboge is known to be one of the best aperient medicines in use, and is to be found in some of the most valuable prescriptions. Besides it is not the ingredient itself, but its proportions and admixture with other medicines, that establish its value. Four or five ingredients may be applied effectually to cure all diseases,' said an eminent physician, but the question is, how are they to be concocted?' " A pamphlet has been put forth, containing the proceedings of a trial in the Court of Common Pleas, in July last (Pursell v. Stephens and Moat), for a libel ; and much has been attempted to the injury of the cause of Mr. Morison by it. Surely nothing can be more absurd than such an attempt : for the facts, if they apply at all, shew the efficacy of Mr. Morison's medicine. The case was this :—A boy, having been held over some offensive matter, be came ill in consequence. A respectable country practitioner was called in ; but before a final cure was made, a lady of the name of Tomkins recommended Morison's Pills. These were administered, and the patient recovered. Now, this we call a good answer to the case of the King v. Webb ;' but a statement, not strictly accu rate, appeared in the Christian Advocate' newspaper, regarding the latter case, and a verdict of 5001. was, in consequence, obtained, under an action for a libel brought by the country apothecary against Messrs. Morison and Moat. Certain it was, however, that the boy had taken the Pills of Mr. Morison, and was ultimately cured by them, as Miss Tomkins believed. " Now, the Americans have shewn a much better regard to justice, notwithstanding all the prejudices imputed to them. In the report of a trial in the interior state of New York, wherein James Morison and Thomas Moat were plaintiffs, and Moses Jacques and Jonathan B. Marsh, were defendants, how did that Court dispose of the case? The charge was for counterfeiting and selling a spu rious preparation, purporting to be the genuine Hygeian Vegetable Universal Medicine of the British College of Health London. The Jury, after several hours' deliberation , returned a ve;dictfor Messrs. Morison and Moat—damages, 400 dollars. "The Americans have ewer prejudices against novelty than the English. With them it is not necessary for anything to haveexisted for a length of time to be appreciated. It is sufficient if it have been tried, in many instances ; and with them, one failure,—even if it had stood solely on its own basis and without other interference, — would not have been considered detrimental, when a thousand in staaeee of cure had been effected."

The Bristol mail to Plymouth, which usually reaches here about half-past eleven, arrived here about ten at night on Friday, without driver or guard. Tn rnngPrinence of the falling of tbo 1e..4r. -- near the mail-coaeh offieeirißriton's Side, its further progress was arrested without loss of life. Upon inquiry it was ascertained that the mail had been dragged at a tremendous rate all the way from Yealmpton to Plymouth, a distance of seven miles, without the possibi lity of any controul being exercised over the horses. The driver and guard, and a male and female passenger, were left at Yealmpton. Two female passengers, one inside and the other out, arrived by the mail in a state of the most dreadful excitation, as may be naturally supposed. The in tricacies of the road and its peculiar sinuosity in- many parts, especially at the approaches of the Laira Bridge, render it surprising that the horses could have so admirably tracked their way at the top of their speed, and it is most fortunate the mail was so much later than usual, there being scarcely any other vehicle on the road. The leaders were hurt by the fall and the wheelers winded, and some damage was done to a window, but nothing else worth notice occurred at Plymouth. Halse, the coachman, who is gene nerally esteemed for his steadiness, arrived on horseback in about ten minutes after the mail, and Mr. Marks, the post master, went on to Devonport, in charge of the bags. It appears that the coachman and guard hod alighted at Yealmpton, to put down a passenger and luggage. The two passengers referred to had also descended. A man was holding the leaders' heads, when the sash of a window was dropped rather suddenly and smartly, on which the leaders darted forward—the man kept his hold for several paces, but was obliged to desist, having received some injury in his face and eyes. Unless on market days the road is little frequented after nightfall, and but little notice at so late an hour would be taken of the velocity with which the coach was impelled. On arriving at the stones at Plymouth an instant alarm was given. The leaders, no doubt, instinc tively slackened their pace on nearing the coach-office, and got knocked down by the wheelers ; the leaders were taken off, and the same wheel-horses drew the mail on to Devonport. COMMITTAL OF AN INCENDIARY. At a meeting of the magistrates at St. Ives, Elizabeth Barlow was re-examined on a charge of being the incendi ary who fired the stacks of Mr. Barlow, at Somersham. Samuel Brakes, of Whittlesea, and formerly of Somers ham, stated that the prisoner was riding with him in a cart to Woodhiirst, when the fire at Somersham became the subject of conversation. Witness said "it was a bad thing that Mr. Barlow's stacks should be burned down ;" when the prisoner replied, that " it was a bad job, but be fore the winter was gone, his (the prosecutor's) house would be burned down, but they would not burn the fen property because it was 'not his own." (The prisoner, daring the examination of this witness, seemed very much agitated, and exclaimed, " Who sent for you from Whittlesea ?") Betty Burgess, from Somersham, in answer to questions from the Rev. Mr. Tillard, stated that on the morning of the fire, she (witness) rose at six o'clock to gather mush rooms, when she saw the prisoner with a light, very near Mr. Barlow's premises. Prisoner—" Its all false ; I never was out at all on that morning." Witness—" Yes, it is true." Prisoner (much agitated)—" It is false—l am innocent as a child." Mrs. Burgess's testimony, with regard to the light, was then corroborated by another individual of Somersham, of the name of Wilson, a grocer.—Charles Dare saw the pri sone rnear Mr. Leed's mill when the fire was burning, and in quired of her where it was. She replied that it was at Somersham, and that Mr. Barlow's stacks were burning. Witness asked also where the fire began. She answered, " In a hay-stack." The prisoner, according to the evidence of this witness, danced about the road, and seemed to re joice very much while the fire was burning. In conse quence of the exertions made by different individuals to produce evidence, a considerable number of witnesses came forward, who proved that she gave a contradictory account as to where she was at the time, and also heard her give utterance to expressions against the prosecutor, which would not be much in her favour. After a patient inquiry, which lasted for a considerable time, the prisoner was committed for trial at the Assizes, Mr. Barlow and the witnesses being bound in their respective recognizances to appear.—Siam ford News. THE HAiV OF THE EYE OF A HORSE.—This is -not like the membrana nictitans of a bird, but it is a cartilage covered convexly, by the membrana conjunctiva : there is ap ;vended to it a mass of fat, and next to the fat is the retractor muscle whenev6ethe eye is excited there is an action of this muscle ; the eye-ball is retracted, the mass of fat is compressed, and by the compression of this the haw, as it is termed, passes over the eye, so that you never see any thing like dirt, or an extraneous body in the eye of the horse, unless a bit of glass gets entangled there. But in the most dry road a horse never suffers from dust, as his rider does, and it is owing to this pro vision of nature, a third eye-lid as it were, which runs over the eye. At the moment the eye is turned inward, the haw passes over the eye„.. and having a glandular secretion it removes whatever is offensive to the inner corner of the eye when it is i conveyed out.—Sir Charles Bcll. investigation, trying and probing several parts of the country, in order to get the best line. The line he had selected was to commence at Kingsland, near Shore ditch Church, and about a mile from the Royal Ex change ; to pass thence on to Cambridge, and thence pas sing on between Peterborough and Whittlesea, to Spald ing, Lincoln, Snaith, Selby, and York. It was intended to have branches into Norfolk, to Stamford, Hull, Leeds, Sheffield, and all the manufacturing towns and dis tricts. The line he had submitted would afford that accommodation which no other line of country could afford, as it would connect the manufacturing towns in the north with Norwich_ et - nrrl greater facilities in the construction thin any other road, as no tunnel or material excavation would be required, and the expense would be much cheaper, owing to the levels it would pass over. He then ad verted to the profits of the Stockton railway, which was constructed at an expense of 10,0001. per mile, with difficulties to overcome. About 80,000 tons of coals were transmitted over it annually, at an expense of one penny for five tons per mile. Cheapness and expedition were not the only beneficial effects upon railroads. It gave employment to the poor, and les sened the county-rates one-third and one-fourth, more or less, in different cases. They afforded to the share holders fifteen, and in some instances twenty per cent. He referred them to the success of the Manchester and Liverpool railroad, to prove the almost certainty of success. A great part of Mr. Cundy's address consisted of a refutation of the statement of a INT& Babington, who opposed his plan at a meeting at Lincoln, which was of no interest to the inhabitants of Stamford. He estimated the expense of the pro jected undertaking at 7,7001. per 'mile. He dwelt also upon the advantages that would accrue to the merchant, landowner, cultivator of the soil, 'and trader, but for the same reason we have observed above, we are unable to give correctly his observations. —Mr. Jackson said a few words, but as he addressed himself to the chair, and spoke in a low tone, we could not well hear him. We understood that he wished another gentleman in the room, who was the engineer to a company for a different line of road from London to York, to that proposed by Mr. Cundy, to lay before the meeting his plans, that the best, if either, might be adopted.—Mr. Gibbs, the gentleman alluded to, ex plained that he had not attended the meeting to submit any plans, or to deteriorate those of Mr.Cundy; he was on his return from a survey, and having heard of this meeting, merely attended to watch the proceedings ; but if he were called upon he would give any explanations that might be required of him. The general desire seemed to be to hear him, and he then stated that he had the honour to serve a body of gentlemen, who were formed into a company for the purpose of making a railway from London to York. The line they proposed would connect this part of the county and the north of England and midland counties, more intimately with Norfolk, as a branch would be carried to Norwich and adjacent towns, and the line they had fixed upon would run nearer to Stamford than that projected by Mr. Cundy. He stated further the natural advantages of the country for making a line of railroad, and the diminution of expense in the undertaking compared with those on other roads. He hoped in justice to the gentlemen whom he represented, and for the advantage of them selves they would come to no resolution pledging themselves to the adoption of Mr. Cundv's plan, but leave it open to determine at a future time, which was the most beneficial to this part of the country. General Johnson was desirous of knowing where the means for carrying on the project was to come from. He could assure them if they expected to get any money from this part of the country, they would find them selves deceived, unless the Joint Stock Banks thought proper to invest in it. Mr. Cundy said that the Post office department would advance 2 or 300,0001., and a large sum had been already subscribed. Mr. Gibbs said they looked for shareholders more among the manufacturing districts than the agricultural. He gave as an instance that the shares in the Southampton railway, were principally raised in Norwich. After a great deal of desultory conversation, Sir John Trollope rose and advised the meeting to pledge them selves to no specific course. He was not prep ared to give any decided opinion on the subject, as he con fessed he had not sufficiently studied it ; but lie thought it would be of more evil than good to the town of Stamford. Resolutions were finally adopted that a committee should he fo rmed to take into coh sideration the a dvantages or disadvantages of the' pro posed railway We have heard several complaints made of the higl p r ovisions compared with the present low st a t e of the price of markets. Whether these are well grounded or not as regards other places we cannot say, but we know that in Stamford, a quartern loaf of good household bread, and one pound of good meat, can be purchased for ninepence. The average price of w heat is only 355. 2d. per quarter h ere . —S tam f or d News. SECOND EDITION. Revised by the Author, in 3 vols., post Bvo., H E- L E N. A TALE. By MARIA EDGE WORTH.
