Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway Station, Hants, October '26, 1844. Sir,--I cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have e xperienced in taking your Pills fer the Gout. I was taken en Thurs '.4tY night so severely with it as to be with diffioulty able to get out .f MY bed, and atter I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and W ithin two hours I found the pai n 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 have died, and that it must have gon e into m y stomach. At that .time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two .pours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to that be known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, 'priers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has been your Pills. lilake what use you please of my report.—'‘ ours truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY. Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the community, nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the impor tant discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS, the efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recom mendation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effec tive for gout and rheumatism, in all its various forms, including sciatica, lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as tooth-ache, fze. They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other vital part.

Address, 7, Emithfleld-bars. tke tuna fee of 11. for advice, Cros examined—Dunsdon appeared much afflicted on the day deceased died. The prisoner said, " Oh, that I had seen the last of her ! Oh, that she had died a natural death !" He shed tears and moaned. I stopped two hours with him to comfort him. I never heard Dunsdon say, " I am not sorry she is dead ; she would never have been no use to my family or to me ; the devil is always after these people." From the position I was in, I must hue heard it if he had said so. I did not see any blood on Dun: don's clothes. George Benham, of Chadwell-heath, said—l am a linen-draper, and know the prisoner. On the 20th of! October, about a quarter before ten o'clock, I saw him come into the back yard exclaiming, " She has done it, she has done it." I ran up and found her lying upon her hack, with her hand upon her breast and her throat cut, the wound large enough fer a pint bottle to have been put in end ways. I put my hands under her head and raised her up, the blood flowing out of the wound on both sides. I saw no splashes of blood on the bed clothes, which were quite smooth when I entered. She died in about six minutes. No other person was in the room when she died. There was no appear ance of any struggle, nor was any instrument found. I left Glenny in the room, and went into the yard through tne house. I saw Dunsdon, and said, " Where is the instrument that the fatal deed was done with? None has been found, and no one shall leave the premises until it is found." Dickins said, " I have it." I asked how he came by it, and he replied, " I took it from l)unsdon's hand." I said, " Where is that razor?" and Dickins said, " I have hid it up behind some plates on the shelf." Rachael Summons came and looked after it. I said to Dur sdon, What a bad job!" and he said, "lam in no wise sorry she is dead ; she never would have been no use to me or any part of my family, for the devil is always in this sort of people." I then left him, and had no more conversation with him until the Coroner sat. It was in the tap-room of the Coopers' Arms beer-shop, Chadwell-heath, where I spoke to him. I saw what I thought a spot of blood upon his waistcoat, and asked him if it was not blood? He said, " No, it is red paint." I picked it off, and, breaking it between my fingers, said, "it is blood. Dunsford had been my tenant about three months. I saw nothing to induce me to think that Mrs. Dunsford was of unsound mind. I was examined before the Coroner, and began to tell my tale, but was stopped, the jury saying that they only wanted to know what I saw when I entered the room up stairs, where Mrs. Dunsdon was lying. A doctor came in on the morning of the 20th of October, but was not examined, to my knowledge, before the Coroner. Shortly after the inquest I went out of town, and on my return went before the magistrate. Dickies was not present when I said, " What a bad job; what a bad job!" Cross-examined—A day or two after the inquest Dunsdon gave me notice to quit, and said he should serve me with another piece of paper for speaking about him. I had not been speaking about it. I did not say that he had another female in London, and that his wife knew of it. I was examined before the jury, but they would not give me a, chance of saying what I have since said. When the inquest was over, I said that I was not satisfied. I never heard them quarrel. Mrs. Faith Louisa Barham, wife of the last witness, said—l have known the deceased about two months. I was present with deceased when the prisoner called upon her. There were some scratches on her throat before she died. I attended the inquest, and answered all the questions put to me. On the mornini , after I saw the scratches on her neck, I did not find a b knife in the bed, but I found in her pocket, under the pillow, a small pen knife. I took that away, but I did not search the bed clothes, and never said I did. Robert Bowie, surgeon, said he had attended the de ceased about three weeks for diseased vertebrae. Her sufferings had caused great bodily debility, which had affected the nervous system. He had given orders that she should be looked after. He was not at all surprised that she should have committed suicide. He never saw anything of Dunsdon more than that he was kind and affectionate to his wife. Mr. James Glenny, market gardener of Chadwell heath, was next examined on behalf of the accused. He said Dunsdon was a salesman, and went to market three times a-week. He came to witness on the 15th of October, and told him that his wife's mind was in a very bad state. He (witness) called in the evening, and found her eyes rolling in her sockets. He knelt down at the bed-side and prayed with her. The following day the prisoner told him that his wife had asked him to get up and boil the kettle. He did so, and, whilst down stairs, he heard a noise, and upon returning again to his bed-room, he found the pillow removed a little. He (the prisoner) went to the window, when his wife pulled out a knife, and handing it to him, said, " Here it is, take it, for it will not do it." Upon hearing this, wit ness recommended the prisoner to go for her mother, and he then ran off for her. Witness was confident the prisoner had not committed the act imputed to him. Mr. Cotton, the Chairman, said, after giving this painful case our best consideration, we are of opinion that we should not be doing our duty in discharging the man ; we have, therefore, made up our minds in sending him to a higher tribunal. You are, therefore (address ing the prisoner), committed to take your trial at the next sessions. After a deal of arguing, the Bench decided upon ac cepting, two sureties, to be bound to the amount of 5001. each for the prisoner's appearance at the next assizes. On Saturday the accused appeared before William Cotton, Esq., and a full bench of magistrates, at the Angel Inn, Ilford, when the whole of the case with re gard to the prosecution was gone into. The prisoner, who, although habited in his working dress, appeared to be of respectability, paid great atten tion to the proceedings, and during a portion of the examination, fondled one of his children in a most affec tionate manner. Mr. Waite appeared to prosecute, and Mr. Griffin on behalf of the accused. Rachel Summons was the first witness called, and de posed as follows am a single woman, residing at Chadwell-heath, and in October last I was in the service of Mr. and Mrs. Dunsdon. I came to my work on the 20th of October as usual, and saw Mr. Dunsdon in the back parlour. I asked him hOw his wife was. lie said, she is much the same. Mr. Dunsdon went out, and came back about nine, or half-pa't nine o'clock, and w nt into the front room. I went up-stairs into Mrs. Dunsdon's bed-room, whilst Dunsdon and Mrs. Ban ham, who came into the front room before Dunsdon left it, were in the front room. She (Mrs. Dunsdon) was in bed, and I asked her if I should make it. She said, "No, Mrs. Banham has put it straight," and then told me to boil a piece of mutton, which I should find in the cupboard, and make her some broth for dinner. I afterwards went down stairs, but did not see Mr. Duns don then, but saw him a few minutes after in the back parlour. Whilst there I saw him take off his hat and coat and hang them up. I saw him pour out a cup of coffee and say, "I am going up stairs." He then went up-stairs, but did not take the coffee with him. I did not hear any noise after this for some time. Mr. Cotton—Now state slowly what occurred. Witness—Mr. Dunsdon went np stairs, but I did not hear any noise for some time. I went into the yard to do my work, and as I was doing it I heard shrieks. I ran into the kitchen to see what was the matter, and as I was going in I saw Mr. Dunsdon coming down stairs with a bloody razor in his hand. I passed him on the stairs and went to the top to see what was the matter, and I saw Mrs. Dunsdon bleeding. I came down again directly, and Mr. Banham went up stairs and called for some towels, and I ran up with them.

Mr. Dunsdon came in out of the yard and went half way up stairs, and I heard him ask Mr. Benham, "Is it fatal?" I heard Nlr. Ban ham reply that she would be dead in ten minutes. Mr. Dunsdon came down stairs and went into the yard again. Mr. Banham cenne down and asked me if I knew where tl.e razor was. I told him that I did not know, but that I saw Mr. Dickens with it. I left the house then and went into the yard and saw Mr. Dunsford, and said to him, " What a bad job:" He said to me, "lamin no wise sorry for it." Mr. Griffin—Why did you not state this to the co roner? The Chairman—You have no right to question the witness; but any question you wish answered must be put through the bench. The examin,tion of the witness was resumed—lie said, " That the dsvil was always after such people, and that he could clear himself by going and telling his master that this morning she attempted to do it." I had no more conversation with him until Wednesday morn ing following, about an hour before I went before the jury, when he told me not to say much, for he should have to stand trial. I told him I did not know what trial meant, and we had no more conversation until after we came from the inquest. When I came home he asked me if the gentlemen inquired if they had any words on Sunday, and I told Irm that they had not. That is all that has passed with him and me since.

At a meeting of the Managing Committee of this Company, held at the Stork Hotel, Birmingham, on Thursday, the 10th of Decem ber, 1843, WILLIAM COLLINS, Esq., ALP., in the Chair, The following Report of the Committee was read : The Managing Committee of the Dudley, Madeley, Broseley, and Ironbridge Railway Company, with extension to Shrewsbury, feel that it is due to themselves and to the Shareholders, to lay before them, at the earliest possible period consistent with due inquiry, their present position, consequent upon the circumstances which will be found detailed in the following Report : Mr. Francis Giles became the engineer of the Company on its for mation, and the Committee were Induced to place confidence in him front the fact of his having been employed by Mr. Robert Stephenson, in his absence, to lay out several important lines in the vicinity of the line of railway projected by this Company. Mr. Giles attended a meeting of the Committee at Birmingham, early in October, when he gave positive assurances that he was ra pidly proceeding with his work, and had made such arrangements as would enable him to complete it in good time; and from that pe riod till the end of November he constantly reiterated those assu rances to the Committee, to the respective solicitors, and to the se cre:ary, both orally and lu writing. Every assistance was rendered which he required, and extracts from the correspondence will slew, dantly testify that all was done by the Committee and the officers of the Company to enable him to complete his work by he 29th of No vember. His applications for money were, in every case, complied with, and the sum of 4,V01. was at various periods advanced to him, on account of his own and the surveyors' charges ; the last payment of 2,000/. having been made, at his own solicitation (though not with out considerable hesitation on the part of the Committee),ln order to avoid the I,eQs:b o ,:tv of his operations being retarded for want of Any prceNt toy th - ir being inefile,rt lr (~ 4,11 , , M.,ludic ti,uehton. the Company's sm veyor (Mr. (..iies's :,tether-in-law), he* accepted his (Mr. Giles's) liability to him for 2,0n0/., and Mr. • dlee has paid Mr. John Brettell, another surveyor, 300/., thus leaving him (Mr. Giles) the sum of 1,700/. The anxiety expressed that all should be ready in time was only equalled by Mr.' Giles's assurances that there were no grounds for apprehension, as the following extracts from the correspondence on the subject will show : On the 17th of October, Mr. Collis, one of the Company's solici tors, thus addressed Mr. Giles— " Great anxiety is entertained as to the sections and surveyi being ready in time. I do lisps you will use every exertion to get them done, and well done." On the 28th October, Mr. Collis writes to Mr. Giles— " I trust you will get the sections of the Dudley and Madeley line conipleted without delay, as time runs on. I am glad to tell you that all goes on favourably, and everything now rests with you. You have, of course, made proper arrangements as to the engraving." On the 31st, Mr. C4Alls-avikia ,-letter to Mr. Giles— " I assure you meat tirMiehsani riurienrs are. abroad amisMild oar proprietors that our sections and p lans will not be properly done or ready, as Dugdale Ileughton will have told you. Now I have done all in my power to put a stop to these reports. I entreat of you to have the sections of the whole line from Dudley to Ironbridge and to Shrewsbury, as well as the surveys, most carefully done. You have, of course, made due arrangements as to the engraving of the sec several solicitors. Mr. Giles, idler informing the Committee that he had known amended sections deposited after the 30th of November to be received in Parliament, where notice of such emendations had been given to the landowners, offered to make correct sections at his own expense, to enable the Committee to apply fer their Bill ; and Mr. Houghton also offered his personal services, free of eharge, in the event of their determining to proceed, and the application proving unsucceseful. Under these circumstances, taking into consideration the fact that the cress line from Stourbridge to Wolverhampton formed a very important, and to a certain extent independent por tion of the projected railway, and that it was probable, from what Mr. Giles had stated, that they should be in a position to apply for a Bill for it in the ensuing session with a reasonable prospect of suc cess, the Committee agreed that the solicitors should forthwith take the opinion of the Parliamentary agents, Messrs. Dyson, Hall, and Company, as to the course the Committee should pursue ; and also send competent persons to ascertain what sections had really been deposited. Mr. Giles had stated that he should at once proceed to make entire new sections of tke whole line. The deliberate written opinioa of the Parliamentary agents has been obtained, to the effect that it was " a very reasonable and proper ease to bring before the Standing Orders Committee, with a view of obtaining a decision in favour of the Bill proceeding." But infsirmation was afterwards received from the parties sent to search at the offices of the Clerks of the Peace, that the sections ef the im portant cross line from Stourbridge to Wolvehampton had not beet* deposited, that sections of several miles:, of the main line had also not been deposited (despite the decisive statements of Mr. Giles and Mr. Houghton, the latter of whom delivered out the sections), and that those which had been lodged were extremely incorrect in detail. In the altered circumstances of their affairs, the Committee were at once convinced that their enly course was to advise the share holders to abandon all thoughts of an application to Parliament for a Bill in the ensuing session, and to consider what steps should be taken to protect the shareholders from the consequences of the con duct which it has been their painful duty to detail. With this object, as well as with respect to the future operations of the Company, the Committee have called Mr. Sergeant Allen and their Parliamentary agents to their aid, and they will most anxiously and carefully consider the propriety of taking such steps in reference to competing lines in the next session as they may be advised. One course which the Committee propose to adopt, is forthwith to return to the Proprietors the sums of 21. per share, on such condi tions as counsel may deem necessary for the purpose of enabling the Committee to prosecute the undertaking in the session of 1847, should it be found expedient to do so. The liabilities of the Company will be forthwith ascertained and discharged; and the Committee beg to inform the Shareholders that every regard has been paid to economy consistent with the progress of the scheme ; and further, that no expenditure has taken place since the 30th of November, saving such as was actually necessary for ascertaining their real position. The Committee desire to record their unabated confidence in the intrinsic excellence of the line, and to express their regret that a scheme, supported by such an array of noblemen, Members of Par liament, landowners, ironmasters, and other gentlemen, whose in terests demand.ita construction, together with a large proprietary of unexampled respectability, full 'one-Italf being local; should 'have been trustrated by the circumstances which they have set forth. They are consoled, however, by the conviction that a railway so im pet atively demanded by the locaity, possessing gradients superior to any other line in the district, accommodating South Staffordshire and Shropshire in a manner that no other scheme can do, bringing the respective places in its course much nearer to each other than any other project does, and gaining, as it has, so great an amount of public favour by its undoubted merits, must shortly be carried out. It now only remains for the Committee to say that they should fail in fully discharging their duty, if they did not express their per fect satisfaction with the conduct of the solicitors and the secretary, all of whom have paid the most unremitting attention to their re spective duties, and have used their utmost exertions to advance the interests of the Company. The report having been read, the following resolutions were unanimously carried:- 1. That the report now read to the Committee be adopted and published, at the discretion of the Committee, in the local and daily newspapers. 2. That the further services of Mr. Francis Giles, as engineer to this Company, be at once dispensed with. 3. That the Committee of Management take such proceedings against Mr. Giles, their late engineer, as counsel may advise. 4. That the warmest thanks of the Committee are eminently due to Richard Heath and Joseph King, Esqs , for remaining in Birming ham during the eventful period ending with the 30th of November, and lending their valuable assistance to secure the deposit of the plans and sections CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS.

ACCUSED. oNDO YN MONDA EVENING Stp WIP DECEMBER 1845. CHARGE OF MURDER. During the last two weeks some excitement has pre vailed in the neighbourhood of Dagenham, and the western portion of the county of Essex, in consequence of a rumour having been very extensively circulated, that a respectable tradesman, named Thomas Dunsdon, a potato salesman, residing at Chadwell-heath, had murdered his wife, by cutting her throat. The wife died as long since as the 20th of October, from the effects of a severe wound in her throat. A coroner's inquiry was gone into before C. C. Lewis, Esq., the county coroner, and a verdict was returned that the deceased committed the act. whilst labouring under temporary insanity. A few days after the inquest was held, a report was spread by some of the witnesses who were examined before the coroner, that the act was not done by the deceased, and that the husband had cut her throat, and that they had been prevented from giving such evidence before the coroner as would have fixed Dunsdon with the commission of the crime of murder. This report reaching the ears of the husband, he threatened to take legal proceedings against the originator of the scandal, a person named Benham. On the 10th of the present month, an information was made before Octavius Massiter, Eeq., nine of the county lk magistrates, on the oath of eo Banham and Ra chael Summons, that Thomas Di on, of Chadwell heath, in the parish of Dagenh , in the county of Essex, did, or. the 20th of October, feloniously and with malice aforethought assault Mary Dunsdon, and with. a certain razor inflict a wound in her throat, of which she then and there died. The magistrate at once issued a summons against Dunsdon for his attendance before him the following day. After hearing th 2 evidence of George Banham and other witnesses, the accused was remanded to the Ilford sessions, bail being taken - for his appearance.

I told the Coroner that I took a cup of coffee up stairs. I don't recollect that I told the Coroner that she spoke to me when I went up the second time. To the best of my recollection I don't thick that I told the Coroner, when I brought down the coffee, I saw my master go up stairs, but that I saw him enter the house. Mr. Griffin said the evidence he should offer for the defence would throw the testimony of this witness entirely overboard. Mr. Cotton—l think it is right to inform you, Mr. Griffin, that I shall not take any evidence for the defence. Mr. Griffin (evidently astonished)—But here is Mr. Lewis the coroner present, before whom the witness was examined at the inquest, and— Mr. Cotton—S'4 ell, if Mr. Lewis is here, I shall not take his evidence. Mr. Lewis —I beg, sir, to inform you that I did not come here to give evidence. Mr. Griffin--The question I wish to put to the witness is— Mr. Cotton—The question is, are you to be the cona mendinv officer here, or me? Mr. Grffin—With all due submission to you — Mr. Cotton—Then sit down, sir. Police-constable Crawford 253 K, was next examined. He said I went to Mr. Dunsdon's house on the 20th of October, the day the deceased died. I received a razor from Mr. Bonham. Cross-examined—l had a conversation with Mr. Ben ham, and I asked him whether ho had any suspicion that the husband had committed the act. (This portion of the evidence the bench declined to receive.) Josiah Dickens, upon being sworn, said—l am a car penter, and reside at Chadwell-heath. I received a razor from the last witness. He gave it me to put away. I threw it in a pond near Wansey House. It was the same razor as I saw at Dunsdon's house on the 24th of October. On that day I wax at work within forty yards of the prisoner's house. I heard a parson screaming, " She has done it, she has done it." I saw the prisoner coming from his back yard. I went into the house and saw Mrs. Duusdon lying in bed on her back, with her throat cut. On coming down stairs I saw a razor in the back-yard. Dunsdon entered the yard from Mr. Glenny's house, and he noticed the razor and said, " Where could she get this from?" I took the razor and put it on a shelf in the back kitchen. The razor that I threw into the pond was the same us I saw at Dunsdon's. I knew it by some blood on the blade. - - largely d lost 'extensively in railway shares. It was difficult to ascertain the precise amount of his losses, which was very great. In one transaction alone he lost 2,0001. Although deceased was not what he would call a wealthy man, yet their trade was of a most promising character. Since he lost so heavily by railway specula tions, he became an altered man, and was exceedingly low and dejected in spirits. The manuscripts produced were written by deceased after he cut his throat. The following are the writings alluded to, and all bear the date of the 24th of November, 1845 " 1. Dear Friends,—My fate is unfortunate. Do throw a veil over my errors. God bless you, and pardon me. Oh I my good friend Scott." "2. Dear Jackson,—My fate is unfortunate. Throw a veil over my errors. Poor Scott. God bless him, and pardon me.—G. G." " 3. I leave all matters in your hands with other good advisers, Scott and Jackson." " 4. Agreeable to what is in my will in Wren's hands." The jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of Temporary insanity." A solicitor who was present said, that he had to attend that day the meetings of the creditors of two extensive firms who, from losses in railway speculations, were compelled to wind up their affairs and stop payment.

The Forth brings dates down to the following periods : Jamaica, Nov. 23; Demerara, Nov. 19; Trinidad, Nov. 20; Barbadoes, Nov. 24; Grenada, Nov. 25; St. Thomas, Nov. 30; and Fayal, Dec. 13. She brings in freight, 240 ounces of silver, 419 bales of sarsaparilla, and sundry shipments of coffee, nut megs, succados, bees' wax, tortoiseshell, &c., &c. fhe Forth also brings home a great number of emi grants from the American emigrant ship Robert Isaac, bound from Liverpool to New York, which the authori ties of Faya.l condemned as belt.... unseaworthy. John Burns, second mate, and Charles Clarke, seaman, were also brought home prisoners, on a charge of mu tiny on board the Harriet, of London. They will be handed over to the authorities here. They were taken on board at Fayal. The whole of the emigrants are in excellent health, although, as a matter of course, they hare undergone inconvenience and privations previous to having been shipped on board the Forth. The Forth brings home but a few passengers. The Jamaica papers (the only file which has yet come to hand) are barren of intelligence. The railway to Spani.h Town was opened on the 21st. The rain had set in, and the forthcoming crops pro mise well. The Forth has had a good passage. and had it not been for detention at Fayal to take in tho emigrant', would gave arrived last evening.

John Russell foresaw the precise time of his being " sent for" by the Queen: a correspondent, whom we can trust, shows that the forsight did not exist— the summons was quite unexpected. This is an extract from our correspondent's letter :—" Lord John Russell was sitting with his wife at Douglas's Hotel (in Edinburgh), reading to her, at 10 o'clock iu the evening, when the Queen's rues- seng er arriyed; and on hearing that somebody wished to speak to him, he declined seeing him, unless he mentioned his name and the business he came upon. The messenger sent up his name, which was unknown to Lord John ; but declined mentioning his errand. Lord John then refused to see him ; and he was obliged to send up by the waiter the Queen's private letter."—Spectator. A. PIG FOR A GUIDE.—A friend of mine has always contended that a pig is a sagacious beast, and he instances it by the following fact :—He describes himself as having been lost in a very extensive park, the undulating and wooded character of which prevented him from catching any glimpse of the house, or of any point of exit ; and after riding about until he became even more bewildered, he at last disturbed a pig in a heap of fern. That it was turned out to feed on the acorns and beech-nuts, then thick on the ground, was evident ; and it struck him that, by riding at it, it would run homewards for protection. It galloped off, and, after the run of a mile, brought him to one of the keeper's lodges, which was hidden by trees and ivy.—Note book of a Naturalist. PEACE WITH THE UNITED STATES—RECOMMEN.. DATION TO MEISCHANTS.—It has been thought by friends of the cause of peace, in Manchester, that friendly addresses from the merchants of this country to the merchants of Ame rica, would have every salutary influence on the public mind in both countries. Such addresses to be short, to deprecate war, to eulogize the blessings of peace, to acknowledge the absolute depeadance of commerce on that blessing, and to urge national arbitration in cases of national dispute. The suggestion seems to us a very good one. Such addresses would attract attention by their novelty, and would strengthen the hands of both Governments in resorting to arbitration. — Leeds Mercury. TUNNEL THROUGH THE CALTON HILL.—The last brick in the arching of this undertaking is to be laid to-day (Friday), when the whole —extending to four hundred yards— will be completed. Workmen are busily employed preparing the ground for the permanent rails, and as the laying down of these will occupy only a few days, the tunnel will very soon be ready for use. The operations at the other points along the line from this to Berwick are with a single excep tion, equally advanced. The point referred to is at Piershill, where, in c onsequence of the encroachments. of the line on th e Riding-school and Hospital, considerable time was neces sarily c onsumed in the erection of new ac commo d a tion. The w ork, however, at this point, continues t o b e c a r ried on with a ll possible expedition. For sever a l mon th s ba c k a great nu mber of miles . have been finished o ff, especially towards the Berwick terminus, where the buildings connected with the station are in the course of erection.—Edinburgh Adver tiser. CULTIVATION OF TURNIPS.—A crop of turnips grown in a field on Croxton Heath, in the occupation of Mr. Wilders, one portion of which was town with bones to the amount of twenty bushels, at a cost of 50s. pes acre ; another portion sown with the same kind of seed, at the same time, upon the same description of soil, but with bones dis solved with sulphuric acid, at a cost of 235. per acre, under the direction of Mr. Hall, chemist, Grantham, when the pro duce of the latter exceeded that of the forme r by m ore than 1 5i tons per acre.—Lincobishir! Chronicle. WmyrnlNG.—The herring fishery is brought to a close, with less success than it promised at its commence ment. The fishermen aro already preparing for the mackerel ! season, which in a ver y short time rill begin.—Brightou Gazette. BRADFORD.—MASTERS AND SERVANTS....-A most gralifyiug instance of the respect and good understanding which should ever exist between master and servant, has ome to our knowledge, and which we have much pleasure in communicating to our readers. A short time ago, Messrs. James Milligan and Sons, near Leeds, declined business as manufacturers. Their workpeople held a meeting, at which it was resolved that some memorial of the workpeople'a esteem should be presented to their late masters. Accord ingly, three handsome silver snuff-boxes were purchased with a sum of money raised by subscription, and on Wednes dayewcre presented to Messrs. Milligan and Sons, with a suitable address. Such an example of attachment between i masters and their workpeople s worthy of all praise, and we hope will be oftener fou nd than it has been.—Leeds Times. 7 pmt" ~T~~ R ~ .C~llr d vi Sp tttr nd ilia' Y et ric t his Kith 1 neig .ll. soole.
