OPINIONS OP Ten PIM& We regard the work before us, The Silent Friend,' as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of corn.. plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer. ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages." —Age and Argus. The Authors of ' The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatmeet of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fall to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

The line from Worcester, with a branch to the Severn, Is In tended to pass near the ►owns of Pershore, Evesham, Stratford.en- Avon, Banbury, Bicester, and Aylesbury, and to join the London and Birmingham Railway in the vicinity of Tring, which has been found, on the whole, to be a more desirable point of junction for public accommodation than Weedon. the line from Rugby to Oxford is intended to pass also by way of Banbury, and will form, for about twenty miles, a portion of the main line from Worcester to Tring. Whilst Worcester by these means will be brought within a distance of 119 nines of the terminus of the London and Bir mingham Railway at Euston-square, the intermediate country will be connected by the proposed line to Rugby with the eastern side of the kingdom. On the other hand, Birmingham and the midland and northern counties will be thus directly connected with Oxford and the south ; and, as a necessary result, the London and Bir. mingham Railway Company will effect a junction of their existing Warwick and Leamington branch with the proposed lines. Accurate surveys of the country have been made under the di. rection and personal superintendence of Mr. Robert Stephenson, who reports that it is free from any considerable cngineering dif ficulties.

O. and W. Hunt, 10, Whitehall, London; Messrs. Edward and Charles Castleman, Ringwood. This undertaking, comprising a distance of sixty miles in length, has been entered upon as a further continuation of the lines already made and contemplated on the southern coast. But previous to any application to the public for support, the projectors called a public meeting, which was, in the month of May last, held at Southampton, and consisted of the principal nobility, gentry, and landholders of the county of Dorset and the south.western part of the county of Hants. At this meeting a Committee of noblemen and gentlemen of the greatest influence in both counties was no minated to inquire into the practicability of the undertaking, and they appointed Captain W. S. Moorsom, civil engineer, to survey the country between Southampton and Dorchester, to adopt the best line, and to make an estimate of its cost ; and, under the powers given hint, he appointed Mr. Pare to ascertain what traffic was likely to support the line, if made. At a subsequent meeting, held at Dorchester on the 19th July last (which was one of the most numerous and influential meetings ever held in the county of Dorset), the Committee appointed at the former meeting made a report, from which the following is an extract : " Your Committee report, that on this day (the 18th July) Cap. tain Moorsom and Mr. Pare (who had been employed by Captain Moorsom under the powers given him by us, in the last clause of our instructions, for the purpose of accurately examining into the traffic upon the proposed line), attended and presented their re ports. These reports have undergone a thorough examination by us, and your Committee feel justified in laying them before you, and reporting that they are perfectly accurate, and such as will warrant your acting upon them. " Your Committee having duly weighed the statements made to them by Captain Moorsom and Mr. Pare, consider themselves jus tified in reporting to you that there are unusual facilities for con structing a railway from Southampton to Dorchester, by way of Redbridge, Brockenhurst, Burley, Ringwood, Wimborne, Ham worthy, and Wareham; most convenient for the public in general, as well as for the towns in its locality, and that the same can be made for the sum of 450,0001., including all charges. " We further report that the traffic upon the line is sufficient to leave a clear net profit of not less than 61}1. per cent. during the first five years, which Mr. Pare has no doubt will be increased subsequently. " Your Committee therefore confidently recommended the immediate formation of a Company for carrying out an object so eminently desirable for the county of Dorset and south-western part of the county of Hants. " The friendly assistance and expressions of good-will which Captain Moorsom's surveyors have received in the course of taking up the line, give evidence that a general support may be relied on, as soon as the main features of the undertaking come to be Hilly understood. " It is Captain Moorsom's opinion that the line may be opened in twelve months from the time when the possession of the land shall have been obtained." It was then unanimously resolved by the meeting that this Coin. parry should be formed with a capital of 450,0001., in shares of 50/. each, Since the above report of the Committee was made a fresh esti mate of the traffic has been rendered necessary by the additional trade which will flow to it out of the lines projected by the Great Western Railway, from Corsham and Taunton to Yeovil, and thence to Dorchester and Weymouth, with a branch to Bridport. These calculations have justified the Provisional Committee in order to provide bridges and land for a double line, in increasing the capital to 500,0001., upon which Mr. Pare estimates a net return of not less than seven per cent. The advantages of coast lines for Government purposes and for the defence of the country, are too obvious to require ornament, and the evident inclination of Parliament shown in the past session, to promote a continuous line of railway along the coast, coupled with the great local support already shown, and the careful exa mination into the estimate of expense and traffic prior to the forma. Lion of a Company, give to this line the greatest claim to the sup port of the public, as tending to insure both Its stability and success. An arrangement, subject to the sanction of the Board of Trade, has beep made for leasing this line to the Great Western Company, that Company guaranteeing si per cent. upon the capital, and agreeing to divide the net profits equally with the Shareholders In this Company. Arrangements are also in a state of great forwardness with emi nent contractors for the performance of the entire works, at such a sum as to render certain the completion of the undertaking within the amount and time specified. It is intended to apply to Parliament for an Act In the next ses sion, and the usual clause limiting the liability of Shareholders to the amount of their subscription will be inserted. Applications for shares may be made in the subjoined form to Messrs. W. 0. and W. Hunt, solicitors, 10, Whitehall; to Messrs. Laurence, Cazenove, and Co., Auction Mart, London ; to Messrs.

THE hard substance obtained by pressure from the Crude Cocoa-Nut Oil, is an essential ingredient in the PA TENT COMPOSITE CANDLES; and, as EDWARD PRICE and CO., hold the Patents for this process, and grant no licenses under them, it follows, either, that the imitation Composite Candles are entirely different from the Patent ones, or, that the imitators are infringing the Patents : the first is generally the case, but to protect themselves against the possibility of the other, EDWARD PRICE and CO. hereby engages to pay a reward of Fifty Pounds to any workman er other person, who may give such information respecting parties pressing Cocoa-Nut Oil, as shall lead to their conviction. The name of the informant will be kept strictly secret, and he need not take a prominent part in the proceedings, as all that E. P. and Co. require is the first clue to the discovery of the infringers, which they will then follow up for themselves. This advertisement is being pub lished in every newspaper of any circulation in the United Kingdom. The Candles are ROW so wellknown to the Public, that it is hardly necessary to state here that they burn more brilliantly than the best wax, and give so largo an amount of light, as to be cheaper, taking this into account, than the commonest Tallow Candles. They may be had of most of the respectable Tallow Chandlers throughout the kingdom; but purchasers must insist on being supplied with " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES," otherwise they are liable to be deceived with some of the imitations, all called, like the real ones, " Composite." Those parties, really in the trade, who do not yet keep them for sale, are informed that they can purchase, of the Pa tentees, or of Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell, any quan tity, large or small, at the wholesale price ; and that allowances are made in an increasing ratio, to parties taking to the amount of 501., 1001., 1501., or 2001., at a time; and a very large allowance indeed to parties takings° large a quantityas to eatable them to become whole sale agents for an entire district.

See his reports in Nov. 1531. He states that the tenacious sympathy of the membrane, within the nostrils, with the nervous system, that Grim. stome's Eye Sntiff, when frequently taken, must be of the greatest benefit to the consumer; and, ilirther, recommends its universal adoption as a preventative.

Cl owes an d S ons, an oityte...4fondensect edition of the Parliamentary :t Report of the Commissioners for Inq'W* State of Large Towns and Populous 1 his is a dccument fraught with infor I. ,"111.;.. statistics which it is m os t essent i a l for t''. • ij ing of society to have diligently collected, carefully compiled, accurately classified, and conveniently di gested and arranged. In endeavouring to give our readers an adequate notion of the importance of the volume before us, we cannot do better than follow the classification which its contents have assumed. Let us premise that the Report most fortunately exceeds in its scope the terms of her Majesty's instructions to the Commissioners; for, whereas these required them to direct their attention to " the causes of disease among the inhabitants of large towns and populous districts in England and Wales; the best means of promoting and securing the public health under the operation of the laws and regulations now in force, and the usages now prevailing, with respect to the drainage of lands, the erection, drainage, and venti lation of buildings, and the supply of water in such towns and districts, whether for purposes of health, or for the better protection of property from fire; and how far the public health and the condition of the poorer classes of the people of this realm may be pro moted by the amendment of such laws, regulations, and usages ;" the Commissioners have also taken evi dence not less interesting to humanity—namely, as to the moral evils attaching to some of the conditions of poverty in which a vast portion of our more unfortu nate fellow-countrymen, their wives, and families, are plunged. The "Report" itself is followed by sixty two detailed questions framed by the Commissioners, and issued to various localities for answers ; by an " Abstract" of the replies to them, and a table of mortality. The " Analytical Contents" range under these heads :—" On the Causes of Disease, and vary ing- intensity of their operation in different districts;' " Nuisances ;" "Regulations q for Buildings ;" " Sewer age and Drainage ; " State of the Authorities for the administration of Local Measures of Improve ment;" " Supply of Water ;" and " Ventiliation." The nine plates which illustrate this edition of the Report and Evidence are thus entitled-1. Stream of Life in Preston—Gentry, Tradesmen, Operatives. 2. Ditto, showing the Periodic Diminution of Vi tality. 3. Bird's-eye View of a Group of Cottages at Preston. 4. Ground-plan of these Cottages. 5. View of First Water-lane, York. 6. Diagram, showing the rates of Mortality in different wards at Nottingham. 7. Sketches of Districts in Notting ham, showin ,, the back to back houses. 8 and 9. Ditto, ditto. 10. Plan of the Borough of Notting ham, showing the Commons and Commonable Lands. On the subjects to which these plates relate we shall have much to remark hereafter. The evidence applying to them is one overwhelming revelation of the actual filth in which the wretched denizens of the localities in question habitually live, and the in conceivably polluted atmospheres in which the vital functions can, for periods that must astonish the least reflecting inquirer, subsist and operate. Under the first head of" Analytical Contents" we find the intelligent and striking evidence of Dr. Southwood Smith, M.D., Physician of the London Fever Hospital, &c., on the causes of disease, and the necessity for sanatory regulations ; J. N. 'Ward, Esq., on the influence of light and air as a means of pre venting diseases; D. Neil Arnott, M.D., on evils arising from want of drainage, ventilation, and clean liness; J. Toynbee, Esq., Surgeon to St. George's and St. James's Dispensaries ; Doctors IV. A. Guy, C. J. Allis, It. Rigby, W. H. Duncan, and T. Lay cock. These gentlemen depose to the prevalence of scrofulous diseases and their causes; the influence of employments upon health ; the physical causes of the high rate of mortality in Liverpool, &c. J. Liddle, Esq., the Rev. Mr. Clay, S. Holme, and T. Hawkesley, Esqs., give very valuable information on all these, and on other sanatory questions. The evidence taken to " the Causes of Disease and varying intensity of their operation in various dis tricts," treats of the condition of the poorer classes in the inferior districts of the metropolis, with reference to the state of the drainage, the neglect of cleansing, the deficient supply of water, and other usual causes of disease prevalent in towns. We have statements of the ages and sexes of parents attacked with fever, showing its ravages among adults, and especially females ; also, the general depression of the moral and physical powers of the inhabitants of ill-con ditioned districts. Other passages illustrate the risk of infectious disorders, thus generated among the poor, extending to the districts of the wealthy. Instances are given of fever occurring in the imme diate vicinity of gully-holes. An essential feature of the volume consists in the demonstration it affords of the physical and moral evils resulting from the over crowding of houses; and of the injurious (physical) effects arising from deficient ventilation in dwellings, workshops, and schools. The beneficial results of a due supply of light are well contrasted therewith. Then we have estimates of the comparative mortality during periods of prosperity and distress ; an inquiry into the proportion of sickness that is capable of re moval ; examination of the causes to which scrofulous affections are chiefly attributable ; of the influence of employments upon health; the proportion of con sumptions among males and females; the number of lives which in every year might be saved by the adoption of precautionary measures. It is admitted that the demolition of houses fur the formation of new thoroughfares has not invariably proved bene ficial, and that some of the assigned causes of mor tality are inseparable from various conditions of poverty. Reasons are given for the necessary excess of mortality in towns over that of rural districts, and especially fbr the high rate of mortality in the town of Liverpool; and moreover, for the deleterious in fluences produced by the condition of their dwellings, on the working classes of both Liverpool and Man chester. There are some melancholy facts alleged to account for the alteration in the condition of the po pulation of Preston during the last century. In hereafter selecting extracts from the evidence, we shall especially recur to this point. (TO BE CONTINUED.) ; ••• i THE OXFORD-STREET WOOD PAVlNG.—Yester day, in consequence of the peremptory notice served on the Metropolitan Wood Paving Company, by the Marylebone Vestry, calling upon them, i❑ accordance with the terms of their contract, to put in immediate repair that portion of the wood paving in Oxford street, between Well-street and Rathbone-place, the roadway between Well-street and Berners-street was stopped up, and workmen were employed in removing the wood paving. On being turned up, the under sur face appeared in a very decomposed and blackened roe dition, and, in many instances, the blocks were so rottcia that, instead of being taken up in flakes as they wi ro laid down, they were thrown up in heaps in the centre of the road. The Vestry have not yet commenced the removal of Stead's paving, opposite the Boar and Castle, which has been already condemned by the parish Surveyor, and Paving Committee ; but it is understood that its removal will take place in the course of a few days, and that granite will be substituted. THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 17.—Tho Royal West India Mail-packet The Tweed, Captain Parsons, left her moorings at three o'clock, P.m., on her outward voyage for Madeira, St. Thomas's, &c., taking out the mails for the West India Islands, which were un usually large.

The Braganza, which has been lengthened thirty feet, and fitted out with new engines, is fast getting ready for sea, and is expected to proceed to Constantinople on the 25th, vice Royal Tar. EXTRAORDINARY FRACAS IN THE COURT OF BANK• RUPTCY. - John Rudden, of Chatham, came before Mr. Commissioner Evans yesterday for his interim order, which was opposed on the ground that he had fraudu lently made away with his property, and remained up wards of six months in the Queen's Bench prison, but obtained his liberation by petitioning that Court. It was proved that his debts were more than 3001., and that Ile was a trader at the time. Mr. Commissioner Evans said he had no jurisdiction in the case, and dismissed the petition.
