Sir,—l cannot help expressing nZy astonishment in the effect I have experienced in taking your Pills fir the Gout. I was taken on Thurs day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out of my had, and atter I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found in a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must have died, and that it must have gone into ray stomach. At that time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report.-1 ours truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COUitTNEY.

ASSAULT AND CAPTURE OF CIUDAD RODRIGO IN 1812. COLONEL GURWOOD AND THE L ATE MAJOR MACKIE. (From the. United Service Magazine.) Mr. Editor,—ln the number of the United Service Magazine for August, 1843, you did me the favour to insert some observations, and also various letters corro borative of the narrative of my late brother Major Mackie, relative to his services at tho assault and cap ture of Ciudad Rodrigo in 1812, which was inserted by jor-General Napier in the Appendix to the sixth volume of the " History of the Peninsular War," and the accuracy of which had been impugned by Colonel Gurwood in the pages of your journal. The substance of thatinarrative may be stated thus: " That having en tere he passed i en tered breach,the main the the t storming party of which he headed, and party a portion of' the enemy retreating from withmthew his alls, first gained the citadel, the gates of which the enemy in their haste had neglected to fasten, then reached the tower or keep where the Governor and his officers had taken refuge." not until then that Major Mackie saw it necessary to in terfere. Then it was, that he expressed to myself and other friends, his determination to give to the public a statement of facts as they actually took place, clearly to prove that this claim of Colonel Gurwood was incon sistent with the truth. Of this determination I need not say that I most cordially approved ; and I will still maintain, that to have acted otherwise in this respect, would have been, on his part, a most uncalled-for, as well as pusillanimous, abandonment of what was justly due, not to himself alone, but also to the gallant men who supported him so nobly upon this memorable occasion. On reaching this tower he solemnly asF arts that he found the door of it shut, that he summoned those within to surrender, that the door was then opened and a sword delivered up to him in token of submission. In his narrative he further solemnly declares, that he no sooner got this sword into his hand, than two French officers laid hold of him for protection, one by each arm, ard being thereby prevented stepping forward at the moment, clearly, however, after the surrender of the tower, Colonel, then Lieutenant, Gurwood came up, and passing him hastily while thus encumbered, got to the Governor and received his sword; but, as these facts most clearly prove, not until the Governor and all within were prisoners of war to Major Mackie and his party. Among the letters whieh I allude to as corrobo rative of this narrative of facts, is one from Sergeant Brazil, who was of the party on the occasion, and who saw the door opened, and the sword received in token of surrender, and who expressed his willingness to verify on oath the evidence he gives. The character of Ser geant Brazil fer ability and integrity, and therefore his perfect credibility as a witness, is in the very strongest terms vouched for by the officers of his former corps. Expressing, as you did, a wish that the controversy as to the respective claims of Colonel Gurwood and Major Mackie should be considered at a clos , , so far as the pages of your journal were concerned, I learned with re gret, a few months after that you had inser ed another article, further to impugn the justice of my brother's claim, and that from a correspondent who withheld his name. As being anonymous, and no way entitled to weigh against the evidence of witnesses that gave their names, and whose credibility could not possibly be im peached, I willingly yielded to the opinion of those friends who considered that lucubration as unworthy of notice. The case, however, is entirely changed, finding, as I do, that the article in question has been reprinted with the writer's name, in a pamphlet, now in the course of private circulation by Colonel Gurwood, among his military and other friends, giving it thereby an import ance to which, when anonymous, it was not entitled. That Lieutenant Thornton, the writer of this letter, formerly of the 94th R giment, is a man of honour, as being a British officer, I am not permitted to express a doubt. That he is a man of sense and judgment, I most pointedly deny, vouching, as of his own knowledge, for what took place at the assault and capture of a city, at which assault. I am credibly informed, he was not even present. This information I have the stronger reason for believing to be true, that in Hart's " Army List," his being present at the capture of Ciudad Rodrigo is not among the services to which he can lay claim. Wil ling as I am, to make every apology, if he was actually there, and moreover in a position to enable him to con tradict the testimony of those whe were, Lieut. Thorn ton must feel the more my debtor for the opportunity I have given him of vindicating himself; that while con cealing his name most carefully from the public, he was at the very time disclosing it in secret to the individual in whose behalf he volunteered; making a merit of the evidence he had given. Lieutenant Thornton, in the simplicity of his heart, may have concluded he was thereby taking the most na tural method to satisfy Colonel Gurwood of the purity of his motives. I tell him he has stumbled on the very means which give him most the appearance of being actuated by those of a very opposite description. This appearance he mar do away by making known his means of information. Until he does so, Colonel Gurwood is welcome to all the support his testimony can give him. " Valeat quantum." _ _ _ A portion of his narrative which, as not appearing at the time to bear upon his claim, was omitted by General Napier, agreeably to the intention which he had in timated to my brother, will, I apprehend, obviate the inference which Colonel Gurwood would seem to draw in favour of himself from the time and circumstances at, and under which, he met Lieutenant Uniack on the day of the assault. In adverting further to Colonel Gurwood's pamphlet, I beg to call attention to the difficulty he has experienced in rebutting the evidence adduced again , t him, as shown by the futility of the arguments he employs. Thus, in speaking of the narrative of my brother, and endeavour ing to elude its force, in regard to the manner in which the latter states he got from the rampart down into the town, Colonel Gurwood is pleased to make the following remark: " Sixteen feet in depth, at the foot of which had been ranged a variety of impediments, such as crows' feet, chevaux de frise, iron spikes, &c.; the whole being encircled with the means of maintaining a barrier of burning combustibles." Does Colonel Gurwood mean seriously to assert it is his own belief, or that he would have others to believe, that any individual who had the slightest regard to his character as a man of veracity and honour, that any one not altogether stultified and void of common judgment, and moreover, one who had a perfect knowledge of the city and its defences, could have wilfully destroyed the whole credibility of his subsequent narrative by asserting as a fact what he knew to be untrue, and if untrue, what he must have known could be so easily disproved? What ever the height of the wall, or the means defence might elsewhere be, it must be the conviction of every candid mind, that at the spot referred to by Major Mackie, im pediments to his descent did not exist to the extent which Colonel Gurwood would represent them to have been. The height, according to my brother's statement, carrying with it the greater weight as beine , given in the course of his narrative, an d not to o b v i a t e objection, was from ten to twelve feet only. As such it presented no very great, certainly no insuperable obstacle, to a young man of great personal activity, and as nearly as might be, six feet high. But, whatever the obstacles might be, or however over come, as doubtless, had ho now been spared to answer for himself, he could most easily have explained, no can did and unprejudiced mind could for a moment entertain a doubt, on the perusal of his statement, but that he effected a descent at the place and in the manner he describes. The extract I allude to is to the following purport:— " The manner in which the great breach was cut off by trenches cut across the rampart, and the depth from the rampart into the town, caused, as I hare stated, consider able difficulty, and some delay in consequence, after the breach had been carried. I can assert, however, that this was done, and every obstacle overcome, without any flank attack on the enemy defending it, by the light division, and without any assistance rendered by them or any other, short of that which must take place in every similar instance, where more than one breach has been effected, necessarily dividing the attention of the enemy for the defence of each. Lieut. Uniack and others of the light division being killed by the same explosion which killed General Mackinnon is in no way inconsistent with, but, on the contrary, corroborates this assertion. The magazine, by the explosion of which General Mac kinnon, as also Lieutenant Beresford, of the 88th Regi ment, as well as others of the 3d, were killed, was situated upon the ramparts, some way to the left of the breach, and the mangled remains of the former were found some distance from the rampart, in the open space between it and the houses. This was after the enemy had abandoned the defence, and I had myself, with the advance of the storming party, advanced con siderably along the street, leading from the breach into the town, when I beard the explosion, while, by the time it took place, the troops of the 3d division were established both to the right and left of the breach. From the whole of this it follows, first, that Lieutenant Uniack was not killed at the breach or close upon it ; and, secondly, that there was ample time for that officer, and those of the light division with him, to reach the spot where he was killed, after the great breach was carried, as was in fact the case." Now, Sir, I believe I am justified in maintaining, that not the presumption merely, but as far as it can now be given, the proof of priority of advance towards the citadel, will, on comparing the two accounts together, be found decidedly in favour of my brother. From the point which he had gained when he heard the explo sion by which Lieutenant Uniack lost his life, it would manifestly appear, that he had that advantage, as to priority of advance over his opponent, which, meeting afterwards with no serious obstacle, gave him the op portunity of stating in his own emphatic language, copied from his narrative now before me in his own hand writing:—" In bare justice to the right brigade of the 3d division, and as a member of it, to myself, I feel myself called on to declare, that though I do not claim for that brigade, exclusively, the credit of forcing the defences of the main breach, the left brigade having joined in it, contrary to the intention of Lord Welling• ton, under the circumstances stated, yet Ido declare, on the word of a man of honour, that 1 was the first indi vidual who effected the descent from the main breach into the streets of the town ; that I preceded the advance into the body of the place; that I was the first who entered the citadel, and that the enemy there assembled had surrendered to myself and party before Lieutenant Gurwood came up." The words in italics were underlined by himself. The inference Colonel Gurwood is inclined to draw from what he represents as the lateness of Major Mackie's claim, as compared with his own, is entirely without foundation. The latter dates itself from a letter written to his friends after the first assault, while the claim of my brother dates likewise from the first, but under very different circumstances indeed. The affair is no sooner over, than it is stated openly to all the officers then present with the regiment, who see the sword received by him, with a detail of the circum stances which alone prevented his receiving that of the Governor along with the one denoting the surrender, while these officers have ample opportunity of question ing the soldiers present on the occasion, and from whom they did receive a full corroboration of the whole of his account. With regard to the evidence, now for the first time brought before the public, I would willingly express myself with all the delicacy which a regard to substan tial justice may permit, in defending the memory of a brother no longer here to speak in his own defence. But let me state the ease as borne out by facts. Not until two years after my brother's narrative ap peared in the Appendix to General Napier's work, a work, as he was well aware, circulating not only among military men, but throughout the whole of the reading portion of the public, whose opinion is of any value, does Colonel Gurwood set about a refutation of the statement it contains. Ineffectual for the purpose it was meant to serve, in counterbalancing evidence directly con tradictory of the fact it was adduced to prove, the letter I have referred to was at the time the mainstay of his case. Is it not then matter of surprise, that two years after the publication of this letter, with the meagre array of evidence and argument with which it was sup ported, and no less than five years subsequent to the statement it was intended to refute, a detail of circum stances is at length brought forward, so exceedingly minute that it is difficult, if not impossible, to account for their escaping his memory, at the time he was mus tering evidence on his side ? The testimony of the witnesses Colonel Gurwood now brings forward, labours under a similar disadvantage, if intended as a counterpoise to that of Sergeant Brazil, coming as it does so late into court, two years after Brazil's clear and distinct account was laid before the public. Of the circumstances referred to I may remark, that with those that attended his getting possession of the sword of the Governor, everything indeed that passed within the tower, including all that Colonel Husson speaks to as coming under his own observation, I have nothing whatsoever to do. The only object that can be gained by the detail of these, is to confuse the careless reader, and turn his attention from the real point at issue. This, bo it remembered, is not what passed after Colonel Gurwood got within the tower, but what had previously passed without. In other words, was the door of the tower, where the Governor and his officers had taken refuge, opened to the summons of Colonel Gurwood, after the very considerable delay that must have been required to allow time for all the incidents he states to have taken place, after he reached it, and before he entered ? or, when he came up, did he find that door presenting no obstacle whatever Co his entrance, having been already opened to the summons of Major Mackie, and the place surrendered ? as the latter solemnly avers, and Sergeant Brazil has expressed his readiness to cer tify on oath. _ _ _ " To mount under the fire of the defenders was the work of a moment, but when there, difficulties of a for midable nature presented th emse l ves . On each flank a deep trench was cut acr oss th e ra mparts, isolating the breach, which was e n fil a d e d w i t h cann on and musketry, while in front, from the ramparts into the streets of the town, was a perpendicular fall of ten or twelve feet; the whole preventi ng t h e sold i ers f rom making that bold and rapid onset so effectual in facilitating, the success of such an enterprise. The great body of defence being from the houses, a n d f rom an open s pace in front of the breach, in the first impulse of the moment I dr o p t from the rampart into the town. Finding myself here quite alone, and no one following, I discovered that the trench on the right of the breach was cut across the whole breadth of the rampart, thereby opening a free access to our troops, and rendering what was intended by the enemy as a d e f ence comp l ete ly the reverse. By this opening I again ascended to the top of the breach, and led the men down into the town." The same remark, as to the weakness o f the ar g uments to which he trusts, applies to Colone l Gurwood ' s ob servations on M a j or ' Mackie's ignorance of the French language, as being inconsistent with the fact of his sum moning the enemy as he solemnly assorts. Here he greatly exagger a t es , an d only weakens his cause by over anxiety to bolster it up. My brother, I can positively assert, had, for a short time at least, studied French in his youth; but granting that he neither spoke it nor had kept up - the reading of it, to give Colonel Gurwood the full advantage of his argument, we shall suppose that the other had not picked up the very few words necessary for the purpose, in the course of the service in which he was then engaged. Summoning then, as he solemnly asserts he did, of what conseq uence could it be, whether this were done in English or i n French, since the enemy were only awaiting the appearance of a British officer to be assured of safety to su rrender, as was proved, when his pointing to his epaulette s being sufficient to convince them that my brother was such, the door was opened to him, and the sword g iven u p in token of sub m i s sion ? The same nervous anxiety to g . rasp at every shadow of an argument for support, applies to the attempt of Colonel Gurwood to throw doubt upon this fact, on the was present on the occasion. plea that no aide-de-camp A sword being received under the circumstances stated, what difference can it make upon the merits of the case, whether that of an aide-de-camp, or in what other ca pacity the officer had served, by whom it was delivered? What Colonel Gurwoo d states relative to his making application to the late Sir Henry Torrens in my brother's behalf, is altogether new to me, and to the best of my belief was unknown to th e subject of it, while, as an al- gument, it goes for nothing. Equally irrelevant to the matter in disput e , i s th e im portance he attaches to his being in ga rr i son at Ports mouth with my brother, w ithout the latter laying claim to the sword of the Governor. However just he knew it to have been, i n w h a t way was Major Mackie to enforce his claim? Wa s h e t o wrest this sword from t he hand of its possess or ? W as it a case that could have been cart int o a court o f l aw , or was he to ask for a concourtof military inq u i ry t o d ec id e to which of them it ought in justice to belon g ? C o ,, s i • dered as an argument, his observations on the subject are altogether futile. My brother had been deprived of the substantial advantages that ought to have accrued to him from the capture he had made. Like a man of prudence, he submitted to the privation of the symbol of his triumph, lost by an accident that could not then be remedied, so far as to the getting possession of the sword itself, though on all fitting occasions h e h a d never ceased to claim it as his right. It was not, unt il Colonel Gurwood , taking undue. advantage of the con spicuous position in which, as editor of the " Wellington Dispatches," he happened to be A p•aceo, not mere?) , to parade himself before the army and the public as the fortunate possessor of the sword in question, with the honours and emoluments its possession had secured him. but also expressly arrogating to himself the credit of ' having made its forme r owner prisoner of war it was - Most reluctantly, to for my part, I have been forced into this controversy again, let me express a hope that it is now brought to a close. The claims of both the parties are before the public, though under circumstances by no means equal. The one, having been deprived of the whole of the advantages that should have attended his success on this occasion, no longer lives to vindicate the justice of his claim—a loss which my own imperfect acquaintance with military affairs permits me so inade quately to supply; the other, happily for himself and for his friends, still lives to enjoy the honours and emolu ments that have devolved upon him out of the circum stances that led to the dispute. As editor of the " Wel lington Dispatches," he occupies, moreover, a conspicuous position, giving him a personal acquaintance with the leading members of his own profession, and personal in terest with many others. These means of influence ho has not hesitated to use in circulating ex parte state ments of the case, apparently in the hope that those by whom be is opposed, being kept in ignorance of his moving in it, he may as it were get judgment by default. With all the disadvantages under which I labour in advocating the cause, which a conscientious conviction of its justice, no less than fraternal feeling, leads me to sup port, I leave most willingly the army at large, and, so far as it can have any interest in the subject, an impar tial public, to decide between them. . . CHARLES MACKIE. Quarley, Hants, August 16, 1845. PRICE SD. Gurwood was not satisfactory, whereas that gallant in dividual has stated publicly in a letter to yourself, that this was a subject on which he had not answered Col. G urwood at all, leaving the defence of my brother's claim to me. As might indeed be expected, from the specimens given, the only tendency of this letter of Captain Hill is to obscure the case which he professes to make clear; as if the only point to he determined was whether or not Colonel Gurwool got the sword of the Governor, a fact that never was disputed by my brother and his friends. It is his haring captured the owner of that sword that has been, and is, most positively denied. Giving the decision, however, which, in his letter, he has pronounced, I beg to ask Captain Hill at what time he came to be of that opinion, which has enabled him to do so? Did he ever, let me ask him, during the three-and-thirty years that have elapsed since the event which it refers to, hint to one of their fellow comrades that he had, himself, a suspicion of its being otherwise than as my brother represents? Has he, since the writing of it, ventured to broach the subject with any of those officers that were present at the assault, in support of the view which he professes to entertain? If he answer in the negative, as I know he must, I need not further ask if, during his lifetime, he ever hinted to my brother, that he was claiming to himself the credit of an exploit which he, Captain Hill, believed to be another's,—a charge he has not hesitated to bring against his memory, now that he cannot answer for himself, pro fessing, while he does so, that he writes, not as an indif ferent spectator of the contest, but as one that was his in timate and chosen friend. Consequent upon some private communication with Count D'Orsay on the subject, as Captain Hill admits, couched, as it is, in terms studiously calculated to give support to Colonel Gurwood, at the same time intended to convey an impression that the bias of his feelings is on the other side, the writing of that letter must, I am persuaded, be oven to himself a source of deep regret. Not, I am aware, from any injury he has thereby done to the memory of my brother, for that remains intact, but the injury, which, in seeking to inflict on it, he has unhappily brought down upon himself. August 15. C. M. In revising the preceding observations, after perusing the paper of Colonel Gurwood, which appears in the October number of this journal, I see little requiring to be added to them. Litera scripta manet, lilera impressa is still more in delible; I am therefore entitled to the full force of my argument, founded on the intention of Colonel Gurwood to restrict his pamphlet to private circulation, as is ex pressed in his preface, and followed up by him, as well in other respects, as in leaving it without a publisher's name upon the title-page. This I may remark, notwith standing his giving the substance of it in your pages, subsequent to the time my observations were written, as shown by the date they bear. Of Capt. Hill and his evidence, bearing in no way on the point at issue, were it not rendered even more utterly valueless for Colonel Gurwood's purpose by the nature of the circumstances under which he gives it, I had hoped most sincerely to have taken final leave. lam forced, however, to allude to them again, Colonel Gurwood attaching so much importance to the alliance of that gentleman, as again to quote his testimony to the effect, that" neither Capt. Hill nor Dr. Arthur, intimate with Major Mackie at the time, ever heard him say that he had got the sword." Now, Sir, I am bound to believe that the statement here attributed to Capt. Hill was actually made by him; moreover that it was so made, without any actual violation of the truth. How then, may the truth be shown to be consistent with this apparent contradiction ? There is ono way, and but ono way only, that this can be done. Independent of the others who were present at the assault, the testimony of Mr. Grattan is to this effect:— " I pressed forward with the crowd towards the citadel, and I met Mackie returning from it, with the captured sword in one hand, and his own sword in the other. I asked him if all was right, for there was still an odd shot here and there. He replied, 'All is not only right, but over. Look at this,' said he, as he held up the sword, ' I was the first man at the citadel ; and the Governor has been sent off to Lord Wellington.' " Colonel Oates, in his letter, says, " Not being present myself at the assault of Ciudad Rodrigo, but joining very soon after, the general conversation among -the officers of the regiment was the very intrepid and gallant conduct of Lieut. Mackie, in volunteering the forlorn hope of the great breach, and being the first officer at the citadel ; receiving, as he thought, the Governor's sword in token of surrender, but which sword proved afterwards to belong to an officer of the Governor's staff." - Does Captain Hill, then, mean to assert by the state ment quoted by Colonel Gurwood in your journal, that he, undoubtedly present at the assault, and of all the officers of the regiment, even by his own showing, my brother's most intimate and bosom friend, was the only one of these who was left in total ignorance of the cir cumstances detailed by Major Mackie in his published narrative, and so amply borne out by the unexception ( able witnesses that were upon the spot ? Though not I the first to hear of it, as is shown by Mr. Grattan, is it poisible to suppose that tho matter could remain a sub ject of conversation among the officers of the regiment for any length of time, and, to the best of my remem brance and belief, it was not till six weeks after the assault that they were joined by Colonel Oates, without the subject having reached the ears of Captain Hill, and without his curiosity being so far awakened as to lead him to inquire particulars of his brother officer—that brother officer his most intimate and bosom friend ? In other words, for this is the impression which the publication of this statement is intended to convey, will he solemnly declare that the fact of a sword being re ceived by Majcr Mackie under the circumstances de tailed therein, were by him, Captain Hill, unheard of and unknown until my brother's narrative appeared ? This is a declaration which, I am confident, he never made ; what is more, one that he will never venture upon making. It follows, therefore, that when Captain Hill assures Colonel Gurwood he never heard Major Mackie say that he had got the sword, there is soma mental re servation ; and the loophole of retreat whereby ho escapes collision with the truth is, and can be only, that he never heard him say that he had got the sword of the Governor. It is, in fact, a mere following up of the attempt at mystification pursued by Colonel Gurwood, and fully exemplified by Captain Hill in his letter to Count D'Orsay, whereby it is sought to keep out of view the sword delivered up to Major Mackie in token of surrender, and to make it appear that the only point at issue is whether or not Colonel Gurwood got posses sion of the sword of the Governor. This sword, Captain Hill may with a safe conscience aver, ho never heard Major Mackie say that he had got, the gist of whose complaint, as I have again and again bad occasion to re peat, was this—that Colonel Gurwood did get possession of the sword of the Governor of Ciudad Rodrigo, but not till the Governor and those that were with him were prisoners of war to Major Mackie and his party. Dr. Arthur and his evidence I may dismiss in very few words. I may safely assert that with that gentle man my late brother was never at any time on intimate terms. That he was at head-quarters of the regiment at the time of the assault I believe to be more than doubtful. If he was there present, against his negative evidence I place the positive testimony of so many others, and I offer him, moreover, a share of the salvo which must be found so useful in the case of Captain Hill. Quarley, Hants, 18th Oct., 1845. C. MACKIE. In alluding to the conjoint testimony of Captain Hill and Dr. Arthur, as given by Colonel Gurwood, I regret to find that, inadvertently, I have fallen into an error as to the terms in which it is expressed, though one that in no way affects its substance, or the force of the argument I have rested on it. C. MACRIE. ;- ~ ~ CORNISH LINES. (From the West Briton and Co,nwall Adve , fse , .) Wo have now carefully- examined the plans of the various projected railways lodged in the office of the Clerk of the Pe,.ce fur this county, with the view of °ruling an opinion for ourselves as to the comparative merits of the various lines, and selecting the one which, as journalists labouring for the advantage of the public, we can fairly and honestly say is the most deserving of general support. In arriving at our opinion, we have kept out of sight all the preceding disputes between rival companies : with these we have nothing whatever to do, our only object being to endeavour to find out which of the present com peting lines it would be most to the advantage of the county to possess. We now, therefore, feel bound to say, that we consider the Cornwall and Devon Centrai to be that line which is best adapted to meet the wants of the public, and, consequently, most deserving of pub do support. We have arrived at this conclusion because it is shorter in distance—because its gradients are much superior—and because its curves are less nume rous and of greater radius than those of the Cornwall line. The engineering difficulties are not of any extra ordinary character ; and the direction the line takes is one that affords accommodation to the greater portion of the county. We think it, besides, superior to its great competitor, the Cornwall line, in having a direct trunk communication with Exeter. _ Of the Cornwall Railway, the trunk, or main line, is from Falmouth to Torpoint Ferry, running into the water apparently at that place, for the plans suggest no mode of crossing the Ilamoaze. From New Passage, on the opposite side of the Hamoaze, it proceeds to Eldad. There is also an alternative line in the plans, going through St. Germans to Saltash, crossing the Tamar there by a bridge, and so on to Eldad. This latter line, however, is extremely difficult, from the immense via ducts necessary to cross the St. Germans and Lynher rivers—in the space of four miles there being no fewer than four viaducts on arches of sixty feet span, varying from thirty to sixty feet in height, to say nothing of the bridge across the Tamar. This, let it be observed, is a main line. The means for arriv ing at the great desideratum of the county—a direct and central communication with the metropolis—are, first, by a branch from Double Bois to Launceston, where it falls into the proposed North Devon line, by which it is taken along the margin of Dartmoor until it arrives at a point in the parish of Exhourne, where a branch line is thrown out to Crediton, joining the line thence to Exeter—the North Devon line going on by way of Bideford and Barnstaple to Hilifarance, in Somerset shire, where it joins the Bristol and Exeter line. We beg particularly to direct our readers' attention to this mode of forming the communication with Exeter —first, by a branch from the Cornwall line to Launces ton, and then by another branch from the North Devon line to Creditou. The important fact connected with these branches is, that after the Bill has been obtained for the main line, including these branches, the parties may, if they think fit, abandon the branches altogether. The public have, therefore, no seeerity that the central and direct communication with the metropolis will be made. This seams to us so very important, that if in other particulars the Cornwall line had been equal, or even superior, to the Cornwall and Devon Central, we should have been inclined to give our support to the latter line on this ground alone. In order that we may put the public in possession of the route pursued by these two lines, we may state that they both start from nearly the same point at Falmouth —the Green Bank Quay—and pursue nearly the same direction towards Truro, another portion of the trunk of the central line from Penzance joining the Falmouth portion about Penwethers. Near Bosvigo, in Kenwyn, the two lines diverge—the Cornwall line going through Castle Hill, Truro, into St. Clement, Probus, Ladock, St. Stephens, St. Mewan, St. Austell, St. Blazey, Par, Tywardreath, Lanlivery, Lostwithiel—runing through the lower part of the town, and crossing the river just above the bridge—on through St. Winnow and Lanhy drock to Glynn Bridge, whence a branch leads into &A min, intended to communicate with the Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway, now in the possession of the Cen tral Company, and to go thence to Padstow. From Wynn Bridge it follows on the line of the present turnpike road, through the valley to Thiubleboys, or Dubwalls, as it is more commonly called, where the branch to Laun ceston is thrown off ; then getting down into the valley of the Looe, it forms a junction with the Liskeard and Caradon Railway under Moorawater. „Passing about half a mile south of Liskeard, it then goes through Menheniot and St. Germans ; and a little after it has entered the latter parish is the point where the line branches off to Saltash. But, pursuing the main trunk to Torpoint, it runs along the north side of Pol bathick creek, crosses Polscove creek, and into the Lyn her river, running along the bank thereof, crossing Sheviock creek, and coming up to the back of Antony village, after which it crosses part of St. John's Lake and goes thence into Torpoint. The principal deviation from the direction of the former Cornwall line, it will be seen, is from Falmouth to Truro, and a little beyond; but the loudly and deservedly condemned route by Par and the valley of the Fowey is still preserved. The Cornwall and Devon Central line has two starting points—the Green Bank at Falmouth, and the New Quay, Penzance. These two routes unite, as we have already stated, at Penewethers, in the parish of Kea, from thence running through part of Ilendra, near Truro, and passing under Kenwyn Vicarage, on through the parishes of Kenwyn, St., Allen, St. Erme, New- I 5 n, St. Enoder, through Summercourt—keeping little to the north of the turnpike-road—St. Columb Major, Roche. Crossing to the south of the road, a branch to St. Austell is thrown out near the spot where the old and new turnpike-roads divide. The main line then goes through a part of Withiel, Lanivet, Lanhydrock, to near Carminow cross, where it will be intersected by the proposed ex tension of the Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway, which will be continued to Padstow in one direction, and to Plymouth in the other, having a station in the town of Bodmin. It then passes on through Cardinham, Blis land, and St. Breward, to Poundsconce, by Hawkes Torr, and Bray Down, to St. Cleather, Laneast, Trewen, Egloskerry, St. Stephens, and St. Thomas, into New port ; then crossing the Tamar into Werrington, it takes a pretty direct line to Hatherleigh, Bow, Creditors, Newtown St. Cyres, and Cowley, forming a junction with the Yeovil and Dorchester Railway at their termi nus in Exeter. This description may serve to give as accurate an idea of the direction taken by these two lines of railway as can be done without the help of a map. By it, it will be seen, that the Cornwall and Devon Central Railway forms, what we have always contended for—the most speedy, direct, and central communication with the me tropolis ; and that it does so, taking care to provide proper accommodation for every important place lying near the direction of the line. These conditions are not fulfilled by any other of the competing lines ; and, therefore, we consider the Cornwall and Devon Central line to be that which is best entitled to general support. The following is a list of the projected lines, the plans and sections of which have been lodged at the office of the Clerk of the Peace for this county: — Truro and St. Agnes Railway. West Cornwall. Plymouth and North Cornwall. Launceston and South Devon. North Devon. Cornwall and Devon Central. Direct Western. Cornwall. Great Western and Falmouth Junction. Falmouth, Helston, and Penzance. Delabole and Rock. The first two of these plans were deposited on Saturday, and the remaining nine on Sunday, the bearer of one of them having arrived at St. Austell only five minutes be fore twelve on Sunday night, after performing the dis tance from London in less than thirteen hours.

While in the act of concluding the preceding observa tions a letter was put into my hands, purporting to be written by Captain Hill, formerly of the 88th Regiment, the object of which is to impugn my brother's claim, and to give decided support to that of Colonel Gurwood. In doing this he falls into mistakes that may not only be easily exposed, but what are also in palpable contradic tion to himself. In the letter in question Captain Hill has stated, "It was always admitted by the officers, and by Mackie himself, that Colonel Gurwood took the General and got his sword." Now, Sir, Captain Hill may, if he pleases, stultify himself, but let me ask him by what right he can presume to do so, by the other officers of the gallant 88th? A moment's reflection might have brought to his remembrance that not only all of these in private, but many of them publicly, in the pages of the United Service Magazine, have borne testi mony to the very contrary of such admission; a testi mony, not less honourable to those that give it, than it 18 1 . 1. 5. —Professo r Holloway,—Dear Sir, lam autho is, along with the other evidence adduced, decisive of the [ADVERTISEMENT.] —DR.

The public are certainly much indebted to this lady for the amusement and instruction she has been the means of affording them. A s the Quarterly Review justly observes, " Among the div ers wr iters to whose skill w e owe the acquisition of many pearls of price, must be classed the translators of the p resent da y . . A mon g the rest, the wo rld owes much g ratitud e to Mary Hewitt. No language so closely resembles another, either in vocabulary or construction, as not to require considerable skill and judgment in rendering the sense as the author in tended it should be taken—without any appearance of con straint —any lean in g to that patchwork style which forc es on the mind the fact that it i s a translation we are reading.

FOREIGN ii''OOI.:iRADE,LEEDS, DEC. s.—There has been no perceptible imnrovement in this branch of trade dnring the past week. Sales have been generally very limited, and no material increase is looked for until the commencement of the new year. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, DEC. 6.—Sales con tinue to a very limited extent ; and prices are rather lower. LEEns.—The rise in the price of provisions, and the appre hension of a still further advance in consequence of the failure of the potato crop, has bad its usual influence in our cloth markets. There is a total absence of speculation, the buyers not daring to increase their stocks from the fear that with the great bulk of the population there will be little to lay out in clothing, after providing themselves with the first necessaries of life. Little was done at our cloth halls, both on Saturday and Tuesday, and only to express orders. There has also been very little done in the warehouses during the week; with the exception of a few of the American houses, business is very quiet. BRADFORD MARKET, TEURSDAY.—WooD.--We cannot learn that any more is doing in either combing or clothing wools, and the consumption is every' week declining; still there is no giving way, to induce the spinners to buy, and at Present prices little can be expected to be done. YAnNs.—Each succeeding day only adds increased difficulties to know how the spinners are to continue to employ the small portion of machinery they have in work, for they do n o t gain relief either from wool at a reduced price or yarns commanding higher prices in the market. There is evidently no course left but to reduce the production to a still lower point, and that will at no distant period effect the desired ange. This is a state of things that the most desponding could not have anticipated, for previously wools have always declined to enable the spinners to renew their business with full spirit. It would appear that the late clip of English wool must, like the harvest, have been a d e fi c i ent one, and we are now strug gling under the baneful consequences of high prices, the sure preventative of extended commerce. PIECRS.—The recent intelligence from Am er i ca b e i ng of a. less warlike character, has tended to inspire confidence that our business with that country is not lik e ly t o b e retarded ; and as the quantity goods sent to th a t mar k et l ast season was not excessive, hopes are entertained of a rather animated spring trade for such fabrics as are adapted to that market. The business done to-day is only limited; yet with this seasonable weather, we may expect the home trade to improve. The shipping houses are doing but little, but this is generally a very dull time, being between the seasons. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY E V ENINO.—We have nothing favourable to report of any branch of the cotton trade. We are as lifeless as need be, and there are no signs of any improvement. Prices are quite nominal, and the stocks of goods are fast accu mulating, which must terminate either in short hours, or a ra auction of wages. Yarns are about the same as this day week, but the market to-day closed more heavily. SPORT ING INTELLIGENCE. AUDLEM ANNUAL COURSING MEETING, DEC.. 2.
