Major William Amsinck. The formation of a Direct Main-Trunk Railway, for the la portant purpose of connecting the north of England and Scotland, by York and Li ncoln, with the metropolis, has beet decided upon, J der mature investigation and conviction of the plashe advantages aunts a line of communicatieu. The line will commence near Zing 's-erotic, in the New-road, the Moat central situation la the metropolis, both as regards the West. e nd and the City; It proceeds by Chipping Barnet, Biggleswade, lit Il e g As, Huntingdon, near Peterborough ant Market Deeping by .

Bradfordlt ll f eria th e nearest route to Leeds, Selby, Hull, Halifax, , Huddersfield, Wakefield, Pontefract, and Sheffield ; thus commanding the traffic •f the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire, as well as the traffic facia the north of England, Scotland, Lincoln shire, and the other agricultural districts through which it passes. Tak islt its course through a highly productive country, it em bMees all the m ar k et towns of importance, and connects all Lin el4n4ira with the usanufacturiug districts and the metropolis. It opens au easy communication between Norfolk and Suffolk, and the West and North of England. The li ne, at, will be seen by the map, does not interfere with the drainage et the fen country, whilst it embraces the most important markets and towns of that district. The indications are extremely favourable, and are obtained at a Moderate expense, there not being any engineering work of great magnitude on the line. The guage will be the same as the exist. Mg lines through the manufacturing districts, and all loss of time in travelling will be av o id e d , as the line will be an integral trunk hue under one management. The expense of construction being moderate, and the distance se much reduced, the fares will be proportionately less, and an ample profit is sufficiently shown b y the annexed abstract of the traffic tables, which are the result of a most rigid investigation, and are prepared as evidence for Parliament. The capital proposed to be raised, namely, 4,000,0001., is a sum exceeding the engineers' estimate. It has, however, been thought advisable to allow an ample margin for any increase of prices above those of the present time. The surreys were commenced in October last, and in March last, the Direct Northern Line, and its advantages (together with Many other trial lines, and their disadvantages), were carefully brought to the consideration of many gentlemen well qualified to form an opinion on such matters, and finally the:prospectus, accom panied by a map on a sufficient scale, was published on the 4th of April, 1644. This prospectus and map show the London terminus at King's-cross. At this date there was not before the public any other project for a direct line of railway from London to York ; but when more than a month had elapsed from the time of the publication of the Prospectus and Map of tho Direct Northern Railway, the Cam. bridge and York via Lincoln Railway Company (who had up to that time adhered to an indirect line by Cambridge to York) changed their title to that of the London and York Railway Com pany, and their stated capital, which previously had varied from 2,500,000/. to 1 , 6 00,000/., was then, for the first time, named at 4 ,000,0001. In their new prospectus the London and York Com pany also adopted King's-cress for their London terminus. Of the sense entertained of these encroachments by the pro moters of the Direct Northern Railway, the York and London Company were duly apprised by a circular addressed to each morn. ber of their Committee on the 18th of May last, and signed by the Secretary, Major Amsinck. A map of the London and York Railway was, however, pub lished in the latter part of August last, which, to the surprise of the promoters of the Direct Northern Line, showed an attempt to appropriate upwards of 70 miles from London of the published line of the Direct Northern Railway. Still the project of the London and York Railway Company falls very far short of a direct line from London to the north, as will be seen from the following data : From London to York the distance by the present lines of rail way is 219 miles ; by the proposed London and York line, stated to be 200 miles; by the proposed Direct Northern Railway, ISO wiles. Dertng the progress of this undertaking, a very large proportion of the landowners on the line have been communicated with, and consulted in reference to it, and the full concurrence of that im portant interest is, with very few exceptions, confidently relied on. Public attention having been lately drawn to the atmospheric principle, the Committee wish to observe that they are in a con. dition to take advantage of that principle, should it eventually be shown to be for the benefit of the undertaking. The sections of the country through which the line passes from London to York can he seen at the offices of the Company, 64, Moorgate.street. Every explanation, also, will be afforded with regard to the traffic and other matters. The Parliamentary plans, dec., are in course of preparation, and application will be made for an Act of Incorporation in the ensuing session of Parliament. "fleet The deposit of 6 p er cent., or e/. 10s. per share, is necessary to the re quirement of the Parliamentary standing orders, but the preliminary expenses will in no event exceed 10s. per share. Interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum will be allowed on all stalls made after the passing of the Act till the opening of the railway. The subscribers' agreement and Parliamentary contract will be ready for signature on the payment of the deposit. A large proportion of the shares having been already applied for, no application for shares can be received after the Bth of October next, up to which period they may be addressed to the Secretary, at the offices of the Company, 64, Moorgate-street, London, where prospectuses and plans reap be obtained ; or to Messrs.

E., it appears that the line would pass through Torpoint, within three quarters of a mile of St. Germans, touching Liskeard, near to Bodmin and Lostwithiel, through Par, and St. Austell, by St. Stephens and Tresillian to Truro. From Truro the course of the line would be towards Bissoe and Pollean Cross, to connect with the great Mining and Western districts of the County, and from thence by Ponsnooth and Penryn to Falmouth. The proposed line will pass through the richest and most densely peopled Mining, Commercial, and Agricultural districts of Cornwall. In the principal parts of these districts, the habits of the people are peculiarly locomotive. A large and constant passenger traffic already exists of a description which would be immensely increased by the facilities of Railway communication. The line will be connected on the north with the Wadebridge and Bodmin Railway, the Newquay Railway, and the Caradon Railway, and on the south the Par and Pentewan Railways, and the Looe and Liskeard Canal, from each of which a considerable amount of valuable traffic will be brought upon the Cornwall Rail way, and the communication with the ports on the north and south coast greatly facilitated. redeemed.

D•Y NeXT, October 3, at Twelve, in Two Lots, A very desirable FREEHOLD and COI' HOLD ESTATE, the latter held of the The Eastern mining districts of Cornwall and Devon, around Callington, Tavisteck, and Liskeard, ar• much connected with the central and western Mines of St. Austell, Tywardreath, Gwen nap, Itedruth, Camborne, and Penzance, and betweet these popu lous and important districts a constant and increasing intercourse Nast,. The completion of the Railway from Ponsance, whieh passing through the great western mining districts, will join the proposed line of the Cornwall Railway between Truro and Falmouth, and for which a Bill is to be brought before Parliament next Session, will bring a great accession of traffic from those districts. The Cornwall Railway will not only be in itself important and of great local advantage, but will in fact be the terminus of a metropolitan trunk line, and aloe the terminus of a line from the great manufacturing districts of the North, so that the carriage which leaves London in the Evening, will be at Falmouth in the Morning, after eleven hours' journey, and the Passengers from Manchester or Liverpool, may arrive at Falmouth in fourteen hours. It will also be the westernly link of the great chain of coast lines now formed, or in progress, from Dover on the east, to Penzance in the west, and will thus eventually receive the traffic of these sources, flowing to and from our western possessions. The well-known advantages and capabilities of the Port of Fal mouth and the opinions unequivocally expressed by the Commis sioners appointed by Government in 1840, to inquire into the com parative merits of the Ports then suggested by the Mail Packet Station, " That if a Railroad existed to the South-West Land's end, and a harbour were constructed in that neighbourhood, where the mails might with facility be put on board and landed, they would unhesitatingly recommend that harbour to the adoption of Government," make it evident that the construction of the pro. posed Railway would render Falmouth the best Port in the kingdom for the embarkation and landing of the Mails for the West Indies, the Peninsula, the Mediterranean, and all our transatlantic pos sessions.—That this Port will be largely used by passengers pro ceeding by these Packets, and also by passengers arriving from and departing for our Foreign Possessions in sailing vessels, is evident from the anxiety always felt by those who have endured a long sea ♦oyage to reach the shore, and from the desire which most persons feel to avoid the delays and danger of the Channel navigation. The reasons which now induce outward.bound Indiamen to call at Cowes or Portsmouth to embark their passengers, will apply with greater force to a more Western Port, when a Railroad shall bring that Port within eleven hours of the Metropolis. The largely increasing number of vessels, which even under the present mode of travelling, call, whether for passengers or orders, at Falmouth, shows that expectations of traffic to a large extent, may be well founded on these grounds; but in the calculations now submitted, the Committee have confined themselves to the usual increase upon the existing trade, which is alone sufficient to show that this undertaking will prove a highly advantageous investment.

Cornwall possesses within itself great facilities for the con struction and maintenance of Railways. _ _ _ Its numerous Foundries from which Engines and other Ma. chinery are forwarded to all parts of the World, the able Engi neers who are brought up within it, and the skill and enterprise of its labouring population, will all conduce to the cheap and good construction of the line and works. The Committee cannot but express their fullest confidence, that the dense population of this County, and its locomotive habits, its rich and important mineral produce, the South-Western position, unrivalled safety and capabilities of its harbours, not exceeded by any Ports in the Kingdom, its genial climate, possessing mildness and uniformity not surpassed by the South of France, which has long rendered it the resort of invalids, the early productions of Its soil, and the anticipated restoration to Falmouth of the Packet Establishment, will all contribute to produce a satisfactory return on the capital invested, and secure to Cornwall that pre-emi nence it has always till now enjoyed as the high road to the Indian, Peninsular, and transatlantic portions of the World. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. per annum on the deposit, and on subse quent calls, from the time of payment into the Bankers' hands, until the Railroad may be opened for traffic ; and no Subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit of 31. per Share until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. A deposit of 3/. per Share will be payable at the Bankers on the allotment of the Shares, and the Subscribers' agreement and Par liamentary contract, must be signed on or before the Slst day of December next. Applications for Shares in this Company addressed to the Soli citors, or to Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite, Old Broad.street, London, from either of whom Prospectuses may be obtained, will be received and registered until the 25th day of October next, when the Committee will proceed to allot them to unexceptionable parties in the order in which the applications may have been made; it being understood that in all cases references will be required.

It is about fourteen miles from London, and on the completion of the London and York Railway passing by it, it will be within twenty minutes' ride of the great metropolis. It comprehends a •ery PRETTY VILLA ABODE, KNOWN AS LAUREL COTTAGE, quite unpretending, but with great capability ; to achieve this, in candour, it is made known that an outlay of 200/. or 3001. will be Indispensable ; this, with the aid of a clever artiste, will restore it to its ancient renown, and render it fully adequate to all the legi. timate wants of a citizen or respectable family. THE REV. 0. M. myEns has domesticated here for several years; at Michaelmas his occu. pation will cease, and the purchaser may have possession at a month's notice. The situation is very prepossessing ;itis a little removed from, but in full view of, the high north road; the gardens which encircle it are improved by thriving plantations, and the villa is adorned by a large conservatory and grapery ; the coach. house and stables, and the farm-buildings, are shut out of ♦iew, and fully ample. The neighbourhood is very sociable, and the society select. The ensemble has A PARKISH CHARACTER, EXTENDING TO THIRTY-THREE ACRES of rick meadow and pasture, refreshed when in need by the streamlet that divides it ; and the other boundary is the HIGH NORTH TURNPIKE ROAD it is immediately ♦ie_a-yie to MR. TROTTER'S PARK AND LODGE GAM, and only a short distance from the mansion of George Ilyng, Esq,, THE WORTHY M.P. FOR MIDDLESEX. The present occupier of the land is Mr. Taylor, of South Mime, whose tenancy expires Sept. 2fl this year. The rent for the whole is only One Hundred Guineas a year. Its real value may be stated at about ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY POUNDS. There is a considerable frontage to the high read, calculated to build upon successfully. The estate can be seen at any time, with tke permission of Mr. Taylor, and the villa by asking leave of the Rev. Mr. Myers.

IMPORTANT TO CAPITALISTS. - T HE CEDRYN SLATE QUARRY, OF CONSIDERABLE EXTENT, IN HIGH REPUTE, AND CARRYING ON AT THIS MOMENT AN IMMENSE TRAFFIC. MR. GEORGE ROBINS begs to notify to the Public he is directed by those interested in this value. able Property, to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, London, i , TIIIIRSDAY, the 17th October, at Twelve, in One Lot, and perm torily, a ♦ERY PROMISING INVESTMENT, THE CEDRTN SLATE QUARRY, OF GREA C EXTENT, situate in Carnarvenshire, North Wales. If it be inquired why concern that is so highly eulogised should be in the market, it is rejoined (to use a ♦ery ancient and ♦ery homely adage), " too many cooks frequently spoil the broth." One competent person, possessing a brain farm, will speedily accomplish all that this announcement has is perspective, and even more under a talented direction. The Slate is of excellent quality, of a rich grey-blue colour, and can be had in abundance under a ♦ery thin cover. . The work is already about 40 yards wide, and is capable of being extended to upwards of ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY YARDS, . where a large number of men may be employed most advanta geously, and without the slightest risk. This is an investment af fording a rare opportunity to any party with moderate capital to REALISE ♦ LARGE FORTUNE. The observations which follow are extracted from a Welsh Paper, and fully demonstrate the accuracy of the foregoing state ment :—" I have been in Carnarvonshire, to see the Quarry, and my opinion is, that there is something extraordinary in it; it can be made, with a few thousands outlay, THE MOST EXTENSIVE CONCERN OF THIS SORT THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. The vein of pure slates is ascertained to be no less than ISO yards wide, and at least half a mile in length, without any Ob struction, and as deep as any parties 'say feel inclined to go, wherein there is sufficient quantity of that useful material TO SUPPLY THE WHOLE WORLD FOR CENTURIES TO COME; and with good management the profits would—they could not be less than from 100 to 150 per cent. upon the outlay, after it is put in proper order. It will employ many hundred men to great advantage. Another desirable point connected with this concern is, that the cover of earth on the surface is only two er three yards deep, whereas most of the quarries are under ten sr fifteen yards cover. The workshops, waggons, and working utensils are in good repair, as also the road, three miles of which has been male at the expense of nearly 2,0001.; THIS WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE PURCHASE. Another point is worthy of consideration, the work is on the side of the celebrated Carnarvon Hills, and a sufficient declivity aftbrds to the water a cheap conveyance to THE BEAUTIFUL EIGI A LAKE. These splendid waters are full of fish, and consequently aWord lots of amusement, and the hill prevents the impossibility of any annoy ance to the works from water. The distance to a capital shipping wharf is only seven miles, and but nine to the intended CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD GREAT RAILWAY. The name of the concern is THE " CEDRYN QUARRY," _ _ situate about tea miles from Banger, and the same distance from Conway and Llanrwst, in the centre between the three towns. " It is held under THE RIGHT HON. LORD NEWBOROUGH Sr an unexpired tern of twenty.eight years, which Call be extended at any tine. " In conclusion, we can only add that the Quarry ought to pre. duce a considerable sum, as it is A SURE FORTUNE FOR ANY SPIRITED PARTY who may be lucky enough to get it." This unpretending statement of facts will convince even those inclined to be sceptical, that it is an investment free from doubt or uncertainty. Full particulars may be had on application to Mr. E. Owen, Auctioneer, Ruthin ; to Mr. George Robins, London ; the Waterloo, Liverpool; the Albion, Manchester: and the White Lion, Bristol.

Drury-lane Theatre opened last evening for the winter season, with Balfe s chef (Failure, the Bohe mian Girl, and a new grand ballet, in three acts, en titled The Corsair. The plot of the ballet is taken from Lord Byron's poem, and the original has been closely followed. The subject of the first act is the parting of Conrad and Medora. At the rising a the curtain, we find ourselves amidst the wild romantic scenery of the Corsairs' Island. A prize has been brought in and the Greeks hold high festival. This festival gives occasion for the introduction of a very pretty divertissement, in which Mademoiselle Auguste Delb s (pupil of Mon sieur Albert) made her debut on the English stage, and a most successful debut it was. This young lady promises to be, ere long, at the head of her profession; there is a neatness and precision about her dancing, which prove that she has been well taught, and in the rapidity of her movements (her feet literally twinkle), and the charming abandon of her manner, she reminded us not unfrequently of Cerito. Her Tarentalla with Delferier would have been quite worthy of the fasci nating Neapolitan herself. Add to this that Made moiselle Delbes is very young and very pretty, and we think that we are not risking much in prophecying that she will become a universal favourite. A Pas de Deux by Montessu and Clara Webster, decidedly the first of English dancers, was also introduced into this divertissement, and was much and deservedly ap plauded; and a new Polka by Mademoiselle Delbes, Monsieur Delferier, and the corps de ballet, concluded the divertissement. The act con cludes with the parting of Conrad and Medora. The scene of the second act is laid in the Hall of " Seyd of Pacha," where he holds " A feast for promised triumphs yet to come," and this feast is made the occasion for another diver tissement, in which, after a very pretty danse d' Oda lisques by Mademoiselle Delbes and the corps de ballet, Gulnare is introduced in the person of the majestic Adele Dumilatre. We remember, when Adele Du milatre appeared at the Opera two seasons since, she was not unfrequently reproached with want of animation. Her Gulnare is certainly not open to such reproach. It is the very Gulnare of the poet. She looked, in the opening scene, the very personification of haughty beauty. Her grand Pas de Deux with M. Desplaces, which is introduced into this scene, quite took the house by storm ; her tours de force in this pas was truly astonishing. They were not merely tours de force, but tours de grace also ; and as she bounded across the stage, seeming to float, sylph-like in the air, she was greeted with the most rapturous applause ever heard within the walls of a theatre. The act concludes with the attack on the Pacha's palace, and the defeat of Conrad. In the third act we find ulnare interceding with the Pacha for the pardon of Conrad ; and here Adele Dumilatre introduces her Pas de Seduction—a pas the most fascinating that can possibly be imagined. The Pacha, however, is obdurate, and the ballet ends by the murder of the Pacha by Gulnare, and the destruction of his palace by the comrades f Conrad, who arrive just as he is set at liberty by Gulnare, the fate of poor Medora having been previously shadowed forth to him in a dream. At the conclu sion, Adele Dumilatre was loudly called, and received with all the honours. This ballet was most success ful ; indeed, it would have been surprising if it had been otherwise, for it has in it every element of success. The story illustrated is well known. This is a most important feature towards securing the success of a ballet, inasmuch as the audience un derstand it from the beginning, and an interest is consequently at once awakened. The plot is well de veloped, the scenery is beautiful, the costumes are magnificent, and the music is appropriate. Taken as a whole, this is by far the best ballet that has yet been produced at Drury-lane, and there cannot be a doubt of its having a long run. The house was crammed in every part. Previous to the commence ment of the opera, the National Anthem was sung by the whole of the corps operatique, the solo parts being sustained by Miss Romer, Miss Rainforth, and Mr. W. Harrison. HAYMARKET. This favourite retreat of the comic Muse was opened for the season last night. During the recess, the theatre has been considerably refreshed, and an addition made to the stage. A new and chastely executed act drop, by Mr. Marshall, is one of the many improvements effected. Mrs. Centlivre's comedy, The Busy Body, introduced the same corps dranzatique who have for some time past delighted the frequenters of the Haymarket, and afforded the principal performers ample scope for the display of their respective powers. Not over witty or over delicate, as might be expected when the life and career of Mrs. Centlivre are considered, The Busy Body abounds in character, situation, and incident, and to say that Mr. Farren, Mr. C. Mathews, Mr Strickland, Madame Vestris, and Mrs Humby per formed the principal parts, is to say that they were performed in the best style. After the comedy, the whole company appeared on the stage, and sung the National Anthem, after which, that most amusing piece, Used Up, was produced, for the fifty ninth time. It' scarcely needs repeating now, that Mr. Charles Mathews made a most perfect impersonation of the dolce far niente, and most persons, we imagine, will agree that, while he continues to throw such life and spirit into mere points and words, the world has still something in it to pass the tedium of an unemployed hour, and at least to move the muscles if it do not excite the nerves. After the piece Mr. Mathews was loudly called for by the audience, and his appearance was the signal for very cordial applause. The evening's entertainments concluded with the sprightly farce of the Milliners' Holiday. It was gratifying to see the theatre so numerously attended in every part ; the more so, as the management seems desirous to omit nothing to insure success. STRAND. The winter season was commenced last night under the most favourable auspices. The house was well and respectably filled, the artists were perfect in their parts, and the pieces selected were eminently success ful. If the first night, therefore, can be taken as a fair criterion of those that may succeed, the enter prising lessee, Mr. Roberts, may flatter him self that his exertions will reap their merited reward. Martin Chu:zlewit, which has been hitherto so popular, was selected as the opening piece, and with Hall as Pecksniff and Sairey Gamp, and Mrs. Montgomerie as Cherry, the individual would be morose indeed who could fail to be delighted. In instancing these two, we do not mean to detract from the reputation of the others, but as the burden of the drama rests more particularly upon them, as they stand more prominently in the foreground, we have been thus induced to notice them. Mr. Roberts has been induced to call in transatlantic talent to the aid of the regular corps, and last night beheld the debut of a Mr. Marble in the character of Deuteronomy Dutiful. The farce, a light, sketchy thing, redolent of fun, and the naivete, the self-gratulatory shrewdness, the quaint, yet happy sayings of the " Vermont Wool Dealer," kept the house in a roar of laughter. Certes, the comedian from the " far West" carried his audience with him ; and when, on the conclusion of the piece, Mr. Marble was called before the curtain, he was re ceived with the most gratifying approbation, which he acknowledged, in words brief indeed, but to the purpose. The evening's amusements were wound up by a new extravaganza, entitled La Slunz bernantbula, an adaptation from Bellini's admired opera of La Sonnambula. The " hits" at passing events were some of them clever, but, on the whole, the thing was tedious, and would bear shortening. We observe that to-night the lovvay Indians visit the theatre in full costume. QUEEN'S. This theatre opened last night under the manage ment of Mr. C. J. James. During the recess the in terior of the theatre has been re-decorated, and a new act drop scene has been painted: The or naments round the boxes are very tasteful in their de sign, and give an air of elegance to the w hole build ing. Immediately under the boxes, running the whole length of the theatre, are placed at i n tervals some very admirably-executed guilded fig ures, which give a finish to the whole. The p erformances las t evening commenced wpitilaiyS_liaoeksrpes o ar f. eis h t i r s a i g )ar ed t y o o f fr h u e m metropolis , intro ducing to the g Mr. J. liudson Kirby , an American tragedian, who has made some noise on the other side of th e wa t er . Hi s performance of the difficult character of Hamlet, though a little crude, was nevertheless very respect able, an d he was received with much applause throughout. The character of the Gravedigger was admirably supported by M r . M an d ers. The evening's entertainment concluded with a romantic drama, entitled, The Giant's Causeway ' or the Dream of . s Tronder, in whi c h some very excellent scenery introduced. The scene of the drama is, as Its title indicates, laid in Ireland, and it is inter- ~~C~au~/ 2~ spersed with many Irish jokes, which tell well with the audience. There is also some very interesting dancing introduced, and the whole piece, taken to gether, was very creditably put upon the stage. The house was crowded in every part. We should not omit to mention that, in addition to the performances, the manager has fitted up a magic cave after the style of the one in the Strand, to which the audience are admitted gratis. ~ "<~ THE MEDICAL LIBERTY 'PHE SUBJECT.

CHEAP LIGHT. FDWARD PRICE and CO.; Patentees and Sole Manufacturers of the COMPOSITE CANDLES, respectftilly call the attention of the Public to the fact, that, although the price of these is somewhat higher than that of ordinary mould Candles, they are in reality much cheaper than these latter; one real Composite Candle giving about the same quantity of light as three of the moulds. They require no snuffing, and burn more brilliantly than the best wax. The purposes of economy and luxury are therefore both served at the same time by the use of those Candles. Parties intending to try them for the first time, are earnestly requested to take care that they are served in the shops with " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES:" the reason for this caution is given elsewhere. They are sold by most of the respectable tallow chandlers through out the kingdom, and wholesale to the trade by Edward Price and Co., Belmont, Vauxhall ; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell.

THE DAY OF RETRIBUTION HAS ARRIVED. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Thank Heaven, the day of retribution has ar rived! The infamous persecution of Hygeists about ten years ago by a set of paltry diplomaed and grossly ig norant country doctors, is now recoiling against the whole profession with treble force. The infamous man ner in which these paltry doctors imposed upon con fiding juries (because they lost their patients) is now made manifest to all persons. They are all sinking to gether, and though they obtained by hand a temporary triumph, they have been the means of hastening the grand question of medical reform by fifty years. Yes, we shall now have the grand question fairly decided by the voice of the people. They have found out that doc tors have made medicine a perfect trade, and they are determined to be no longer imposed upon. Every per son throughout England must now see through the whole business. The medical trade may he considered at an end. We will have true physicians, not parties who, by keeping the public in ignorance of the truth, under the sanction of a piece of parchment, make a trade of the miseries of the great human family! Joseph Webb and Thomas La Mott, behold your persecutors sinking into merited contempt! ! A HYGEIST, AND AN MNEMY TO PERSECU- TION AND FRAUD. London, Sept. 30, 1844.

The otter hunt yesterday was one of the most inte resting and picturesque scenes ever witnessed in this part of the country. The sport was not of a first-rate order, as the otter which Lord John Scott had brought with him from Roxburghshire had been too long cabined in his wooden cage to enable him to receive with be coming respeet the attention of eight couple of huge hungry hounds. When the poor amphibious little animal was turned out from his box he showed but little disposition to take the water, and, as he crept along the sedgy banks of the river, he knew of none of those " shady blest•retreats" and rocky recesses which these animals select for their local habitation, the country was unknown to him, and as one of the keepers (who had not derived as much benefit at Major Dalgetty's for his education at the Marischall College at Aberdeen), re marked, the river Garry was a terra incognita in which ho knew not where to find shelter from the murderous fangs and jaws of his enemies. The deep baying of the beautiful hounds, whose symmetry of form was scarce concealed by their glossy shaggy coating, and the un daunted pluck which they evinced in coining to the charge after they had been severely bitten by their prey. and their pertinacity in following up the scent, excited the admiration of all who witnessed the scene. The Queen happily experienced no inconvenience from her exposure to the weather ; after the return of the royal party to the Castle, the rain ceased at intervals, and Prince Albert, accompanied by Lord Glenlyon, sallied forth to Ben Nevi, when his Royal Highness succeeded in killing two fine rocs. Her Majesty drove out in the afternoon, which, despite the murky indications of the morning, turned out to be extremely beautiful. The royal dinner party of last evening consisted of the usual members of the suite, with Lord and Lady Glen lyon, the Hon. Miss Murray, the Hon. Captain James Murray, Captain Drummond, of Megginch, and Mrs. Drummond. Lord John Scott had also the honour of receiving an invitation ; but as his Lordship had not the necessary attire, his Lordship dined in the mess- MOM. Since the arrival of her Majesty at Blair Athol, seve ral persons have brought presents, consisting of various articles of Scottish manufacture, from places in the vici nity, for her Majesty or the Princess Royal. Plaid dresses and shawls, of every hue and clan, have poured in from all parts of the country, but they have all been declined. A woman, who brought a bonnet from Dun dee for the Princess Royal, sent it to the Castle, and when it was returned to her, as her Majesty had courteously intimated her intention of accepting no presents, the woman refused to take it, and accordingly a sum of money has been sent to her by order of her Majesty. Preparations on an extensive scale are making along the road throughout the whole line of country through which her Majesty will pass from Blair Athol to Dundee. On Tuesday morning, at nine o'clock, the royal party will take their departure, and will arrive at Dundee at three in the afternoon. The 60th Regiment will form the guard of honour at the embarkation of her Majesty, and detachments of the Scots Greys are now billeted at Blair Gowrie, Cupar Angus, Moulinearn, Dunkeld, and other stations, to form the escort. The country people and the substantial burghers from the towns in the neighbourhood have been flocking into the quiet little village of Blair Athol, with bevies of flaunting damsels and kilted Highlanders, from all quarters. Carts and carriages have rattled In from all quarters; but their gaily-dressed occupants are doomed to be disappointed, as her Majesty will not go the kirk this morning. Divine service will be performed at the Castle this morning, as was stated in our paper of yes terday.—Post. BOYS' FINE ARTS DISTRIBUTION. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) The drawing occupied to eight o'clock, when the num bers of the tickets entitled to prizes were read over, and the two principal prizes, valued at 500 guineas each, revolved to the tickets numbered 10,960 and 10,043. The holder of the ticket, numbered 10,960, has won the original picture, by Fisk, of the interesting subject. the " Trial of Earl Strafford in Westminster Hall, 1641," embracing more than fifty portraits, in a splendid ;old frame—a n o bl e pi c t ure , wort h y o f any gallery—cheaply valued at 500 guineas. The holder of the ticket, numbered 10,043, has won the interesting historical pi c t ure o f t h e " T r i a l o f Kin , . Charles the First, in West m i nster H a ll , 1 649, " b y Fi s k , * with portraits of the royal accused, and more than forty persons who took part in that memorable issue. The Committee have not overrated the value of the work at 500 guineas. The announcement of the other prizes were received with loudly-expressed satisfaction by the company. Mr. Boys (who was much cheered), in a neat speech, thanked the subscribers for their support, and whilst he declared himself friendly to the Art-Unions, declared that he would next year come forward with a scheme, by which, at the same time that the objects of the Art- Unions would be promoted, the interests of all branches of art would be protected. He was very much cheered. Thanks, by acclamation, were voted to the Chairman, the gentlemen of the Committee, and, with seven times seven, to the ladies who had acted as goddesses of for tune, and presided at the wheel. MEETING OF THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. A large meeting of the members of the medical profession was held last night at Exeter-hall, for the purpose of protection against the Medical Reform Bill. Among the gentlemen present we descried Mr. Davies (of Hampstead), Mr. Hilles, Mr. Ross, Dr. Vassal! (of Windsor), Mr. Asbury, Mr. Wakley, Mr. Carpue, Mr. Curtis, Mr. James, Mr. D. 0. Edwards, Mr. Nix, Mr. Rugg, Mr. G. A. Walker, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Cooper, &c. &c. Mr. Davies, of Hampstead, was unanimously called to the chair. The following gentlemen addressed the meeting, and proposed and seconded several resolutions, to the following effect :—Mr. Asbury, Mr. James, Mr. Mit chell, Mr. Webb, Mr. Ililles, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Ed wards, Mr. Curtis, Mr. Cockburn, Mr. Ross, and Mr. Brady—" That the Bill in question is narrow and restricted in the scope and tendency of its operation ; that it affords less security for public health than is furnished by the existing law ; that it is en tirely inconsistent with the petitions of a large num ber of the medical profession, which have been pre sented to the Legislature, and that it altogether with holds from the medical practitioners of Great Britain and Ireland the principle of representation in the government and management of their own institutions." A protest against the Bill was agreed to, and car ried unanimously. Mr. WAKLEY, M.P., who was loudly called for, addressed the meeting with his usual ability, and the meeting separated.
