The Line of Railway now submitted to the Public, rests its claims for support on the strong general ground of its passing through important' districts in Essex and Suffolk, whose Interests have been almost entirely neglected In the laying out of the different Railways hitherto executed or projected for the benefit of the Eastern Counties of England, but which possess, nevertheless, population, wealth, and traffic, amply suffi cient to defray the charges of forming a direct railway communica-' tion through them, and to afford a good return for the capital required for the purpose. Commencing at Chelmsford (at the station of the Eastern Counties Railway), this line will pass close by Braintree, Hocking, Halstead, Sudbury, and Lavenham, to Bury, running, throughout its whole extent, of thirty-nim miles, nearly conterminous with the ancient and most frequented highway from the Metropolis into the heart of Suffolk. It will have, for its termini, two important market and assize towns ; and for Its principal intermediate stations, places which are the seats of considerable and thriving manufactures. The towns of Bury and Sudbury are the two largest In the county of Suffolk, next to Ipswich ; and Halstead and Braintree, the two largest in Essex, next to Chelmsford and Colchester. The population of the hundreds which will be directly intersected by it amounts to 133,131, and that of numerous places to which it would be more available than a n y other Rai lway, to 43,500, making the total population which may be recko ned upon. as necessarily tribntary from local vicinage to this line, not less than 175,631. Between these m places lisand emaltibthe places which have been named, as we selves, there Is a large existing a s b t e h t w e e Metropolis traffic, to which the facilities of the railway system could not fail to give, as in all other cases, a vast extension. The Chelmer and Stour Navigations, through which the districts traversed by this Line now receive their supplies of coal, lime, timber, iron, &c., and which are also the principal outlets for its agricultural produce, will not only have their own operations greatly facilitated. and their revenues increased by its formation, but contribute consi. derably to the income of the Railway. They would be feeders, but in no respects rivals to it. But, besides the above local traffic, the Line would command a very considerable through traffic between London and all the Northern parts of Norfolk. From time immemorial more than one third of all the coach traffic. between London and Norwich, has posed over the line of road with which this Railway will be con terminous. An extension of the line to Thetford, and also a branch from Brain tree to Maiden, by the way of Witham, have been surveyed, and will form part of the scheme, if required by the Board of Trade. From calculations which have been very carefully made of the existing traffic alone, it appears that, assuming that it would be trebled by the facilities afforded by railway communication, which is less than what all railway experience would warrant, the total re turns from the projected Railway would amount to 105,405/. The Line selected for the Railway is the result of an engineering survey, on which much time and pains have been expended, and will, it is confidently believed, he found to he not only the very best of which the nature ol the country admits, but one admirably adapted to meet the wants of its traffic. It will be a Line at once cheaply made and cheaply worked. The gradients are easy, and well balanced ; the earthwork will be less than the average earth-work on railways ; and there will be no constructions of much difficulty or magnitude. The land re quired for the Line will be mostly farm-land, of moderate value, and in no place will it pass through any parks or ornamental grounds. Deducting 40 per cent, from the gross returns for the expense of working the Line (a liberal allowance for a Line of this character), it would leave a net annual revenue of 63,2431., which would be equal to 8 per cent. on the invested Capital. Power will be reserved in the Act to allow 4 per cent. interest on deposits until the completion of the Elm .Applications for Shares, In the annexed form, may be made to any of the Solicitors or Local Agents above-named, or to L.

BUCKINGHAM ELECTION. Buc HINGHAM, MoNnaa.— To-day, at eleven o'clock, Sir "Thomas Francis Fremantle was re-elected for this borough. There being no opposition,there was neither stir nor bustle in the place. A little after eleven, Mr. H. Smith, the Mayor, took his seat in the Town-hall. He was supported by the Rev. Mr. Cot ton, Captain. Dews, Rev. Mr. Sylvester,' Rev. Mr. Fremantle, Alderman King,- Sir Thomas Francis Fremantle, Mr. Humphrys Humphrys, Mr. F. Bartlett, Mr. Parrott, Messrs. D. King, Stowe, Blackwell, Salmon, &c. • After tiie . nsual formalities were gone through, The Rev. Mr. COKEIt rose and said—Not many months had elapsed since the Mayor had called them together for a similar purpose to the present, upon which occasion Sir T. Fremantle was chosen their representative without dissent. He expected the same would he the result to-day, because his opinions had undergone,nocbange, nor had any change taken place in the bPinions of his constituents. Of course they were aware of the cause of the vacancy. It was be ige Sir Thomas Fremantle had been appointed to ;her office under Government than the one he lowly held. That promotion was not hi s see ki ng . ae GWvernment looked outler the best man to fill the place, and they selected-Sit Thomas Fre - mantle. Had that gentleman consulted his own ease he would not have crossed the Irish Channel—he would not have embarked on the stormy sea of Irish politics.— (Hear, hear.) He would, on the contrary, have re mained where he was, and enjoyed his otium cum dig nitate. He could not but admire him for the step he had taken, and those who knew him well would know that be would well perform the duty he had undertaken.—(Cheers.) Even that master of vitupe- ration Daniel O'Connell, could only say of him that , he was a nice man for a small tea party.—(Laughter.) Mr. O'Connell was accustomed to the blustering of repeal dinners, and held in contempt the milder pro ceedings, of the tea-table ; yet it came with a very bad grace from so profound a teetotaller. Nothing could be a stronger testimony in any one's favour than that Mr. O'Connell, who had at command the whole vocabulary of abuse, could say nothing severer.— (Hear.) It might be said that his new duties might take him away, and occupy him too much, to the prejudice of their interests, but in those days there were no such things as absence and space —railways and steam had obliterated them. They had heard of an Irish .Member who was in two places at the same time. Why, then, should not an Irish Secretary be in three, if required? —(Laughter.) He would not detain them any longer, more especially as Sir Thomas spoke so much better than he did. He would, therefore, leave him to speak for himself; but this he would say, that Sir Thomas would discharge his duties satisfactorily, and would not disappoint their expectations. He con cluded by proposing Sir Thomas Francis Fremantle, as a fit and proper ,person. to represent them in the Commons' House of Parliament.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. C. D. BENNETT very briefly seconded the nomination. 1 i C I F. 1 r There being no other candidate proposed, the MAYOR declared Sir Thomas Francis Fremantle duly elected. Sir T. F. FREMANTLE said he almost feared he was presuming too much on their kindness in offer ing himself as their representative for the second time in nine months.—(Cheers.) His doing so was the result of no ordinary occurrence, or he would not have put them to the trouble and inconvenience at that time of the year. The result, however, of that day's proceedings• haft, justified him in doing so. He could assure them tilt 'he had not ventured to aspire to so high a post as the one which he then had the honour of filling, which was one of the highest in the Government of Ireland, and second only to that of Prime Minister—(Hear)—but there were frequent occasions, both in public and private life, when they were obliged to submit to the wishes and judgment of others. It was under some such circumstances that he had accepted the office that had been offered to him.--(Cheers.) It was most gratifying to him that the day had passed wilhout an expression of un kindness ; and the honour they had that day con ferred upon him was doubly gratifying on account of the way in which they had conferred it.—(Cheers.) Ile could not help feeling highly proud that he had been for the ninth time elected Member for the bo rough of Buckingham. So short a time had elapsed since he had last addressed them, that few events had transpired; but those few had been of the most gra tifying nature. The misunderstanding which at one time threatened a rupture between England and France had been settled, and the peace subsisting between these two nations had been renewed and cemented by the gracious visit of the King of the French to our Queen.— (Loud cheers.) The Emperor of Russia, from his distant empire, and the King of Saxony, had paid deferential visits to our Gracious Sovereign.—(Cheers) The interchange of visits be tween ambassadors was likely to do good, but the visits of Kings and Queens were better indications of the maintenance of peace.—(Loud cheers.) He would also mention the visit of her Majesty paid to a loyal nobleman in that county.—(Loud cheers.) As they had so lately had an opportunity of reading her Majesty's speech, he would not them enter into de- ' tails of the state of the country ; the commercial, manufacturing, and shipping interests were highly prosperous, but it was with much regret he would admit that agricultural produce was much depressed. The seasons had been against them ; the produce had been short, and the prices had not risen up to what might have been expected; in consequence, the seve rity of the time was felt to a greater extent than perhaps any of them present had ever recollected If any remedy could be applied by Parliament her Majesty's Ministers would come forward with it; but he believed that any Parliamentary mea sure that could be proposed would be delusive, and he would not have them to look to that for help. He would be always at his post, always ready to consult the true interest of the British farmer ; and when he ceased to do so, he would cease to be their representative.—(Loud cheers.) He was per sonally unacquainted with Ireland ; but having been ' a .v.rember of the House of Commons for seventeen years, and having taken part in the legislative mea sures connected with that country, he felt the greatest interest in its prosperity. Tsunts had been thrown out that the English people disliked the Irish; nothing could be more unfounded.--(Hear, hear.) A more warm-hearted people did not exist than the Irish—(Cheers)—treat them with kindness, and you would make them friends. Ireland was an integral part of the empire, and was to be treated like the counties of York or Cornwall. Unfortunately there did exist in that country a strong distrust of the Bri tish Parliament, British rulers, and the people. He, however, did not despair of seeing the day when the people of that country would look to the union with this kingdom as their best safeguard.— (Loud cheers.) Everything must be done to conci liate the people of Ireland, laying down the rule that the legislative union should be maintained, the Church upheld, and the laws respected. They were prepared to hold out the right hand of friendship to their fellow subjects, and make friends with them. They might fail, but it would not be from want of honest inten tions or active exertions. He placed the greatest de pendence on the nobleman who was Lord-Lieutenant of that country, and hoped to effect much good there, notwithstanding the difficulties with which they were surrounded.—(Cheers.) Ile was there to state man fully his opinions, and to answer any questions that might be put to him.—(Hear.) Three cheers were then given for Sir Thomas Fre mantle, M.P., and the meeting quietly dispersed. THE HISTORY OF MARGARET CATCRPOLE, A SUFFOLK GIRL.—We observe that this work, which has been for some time announced for publication, is dedi cated by the Rev. R. Cobbold to the Marchioness Corn wallis who, we understand, is fully acquainted with the circumstances under which the remarkable history of the heroine has been prepared for publication. This ex traordinary female, born of humble, but honest parents, underwent the most singular vicissitudes that perhaps ever marked the career of woman. She was connected with the captain of a band of smugglers that infested the Suffolk coast, at the close of the last century, and com mitted a crime for which she was tried and condemned to death at Bury assizes, in the year 1797—was re prieved, broke out of prison at Ipswich to join her lover, was retaken, sentenced again to death, and her punish ment changed to transportation for life. Retrieving her character in Australia, she distfnguished herself in many new adventures, obtained a free pardon, and married a wealthy settler, who left her sole mistress of an im mense fortune. The Gond Munster National Steeple Chase, an event to which so much interest is attached, R ill come off on the lath of April next. The usual preparations have been made. and the meeting is expected to be a very • b r illi a nt one. The scene of sport will be o n th e usual ground in the vicinity of Mallow, and no pains will be spared to make every arrangement ancillary to suc cess ; there cannot be a doubt that the sport this year will afford a treat of a superior character.—Cork Southern Repro, HARBOURS OF REFUGE. There can .be only two questions as to the recommen dations of the Harbours of Refuge Committee, first, whether Dover should have been chosen at all, and, se condly, whether, supposing only one work can be under taken at a time, the order of preference is judiciously settled, first in favour of Dover, next of Portland, anti thirdly, of Seaford, by Beachy Head. Of all the plans, that of Dover is of the most doubt ful success, and the most costly. The estimated expense is 2 into soo, theooo/ se,wa.hich will be, we apprehend, literally flung _ The Surveyor protests - against the recommendation, and contends that Dungeness would be a better choice in every respect ; and we think he is right. Dungeness is nearly twenty miles to the south-west of Dover, but with a steam navy it would command the straits almost as effectually as Dover, and it has incom parably superior capabilities for a harbour. Next as to the order of preference. Why is Portland placed before Seaford ? Portland is an excellent shelter as it is. It is protected from all winds but the S.E., and a even in south-Easter vessels can ride out a gale as they ride in Portland-roads up hill, and are, therefore,-,not likely to drag their anchors. 'But between the Isle of Wight and Dungeness there is_no.sheiter. -The harbours are all small tide harbours, which, when they are wanted for refuge in on-shore winds, Cannot be safely. attempted. . Yeasels that have beat down Channel to the Silver• perhaps nearly to the Isle of Wight, and that making bad weather, are then obliged to bear up and run, have to put back to Dungeness at the least, losing all the ground they had gained. So the other way, vessels that have beat up Channel almost to Dungeness, and then ' encountering bad weather are compelled to seek shelter, have to run back all the way to the Isle of Wight. To recover the distance so lost will take ships of ordinary sailing qualities, with contrary winds, several days. Seaford would save a considerable part of this loss, it being about thirty miles from Dungeness, and about sixty from the Isle of Wight. For the coasting trade a harbour of refuge at that point would be of the greatest convenience. At present there is no other such distance in the Channel, thirty leagues, without some place of shelter. A dozen leagues from the Land's End is the fine shelter of Falmouth ; about the same distance from Falmouth is Plymouth - about seven leagues from Ply mouth, Dartmouth ; and about fourteen leagues from Dartmouth, Portland ; six leagues from it the shelter of Swanwich, and a little farther Studland bay ; and five leagues from them, the Isle of Wight. But from the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth to the next place of shelter, Dungeness. is .the long distance of thirty leagues. To break this dreary interval is surely a matter of urgent importance. The capabilitiei of Portland for a harbour are match less—it is all but a habour by nature. shut in on three sides ; but as it already affords such good shelter, it is of less importance to complete its security than to pro vide shelter where it is at present so much more defec tive and so much more wanting. If, therefore, all the plans cannot be commenced at once, and we confess we see no reason why they should not, Seaford has a claim before Portland. All the harbours of refuge proposed, Harwich, Dover, Seaford, and Portland, are also to serve as naval stations, defending the sea-board, and commanding the Channel. It is a happy thing for England that she can thus make her outworks of defence more available still for humanity . and the convenience and security of her na vigation, instead, like our neighbours, of having bul warks sterile of other uses than tho se o f war, and actual detriments and nuisances in peace. The fortifications of London will be in the Channel, our moat ; and the same works that provide protection in the event of war, will be serving the daily interests of our merchant navy and commerce, and diminishing the toil and dangers of our seamen. These, indeed, are works, the cost of which cannot be grudged.—Examiner. SPORTS AND AMUSEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE. The sports of a people are so closely interwoven with the national character, that whatever change is experienced by either affects the other. The history of our own country will fully illustrate this assertion, for we have broken up the national holidays and ath letic pastimes of our forefathers till iusume counties of " Merry England," both are utterly unknown. We have in a great measure, by these means, changed fur the sturdy independent yeoman and contented labourer, a servile and dogged race ; whilst a sickening mawkish ness and effeminacy, utterly foreign to the English cha racter, has followed the amusements we have intro duced instead of these which have passed away. But we have calculated and economised too long, for we have at last found that the greatest amount of labour at the lowest possible cost is, after all, the dearest— that "all work and no play" cannot last ; and, though custom has broken the observance of those holidays which our Church and our laws have appointed, we have at last awoke to the truth, that such things are necessary to the moral as well as the physical condi tion of the country. There is still the feeling and the taste for these things, especially in rural districts; and they want but the props encouragement and facilities, again to bring about our old English games. If we neglect this, and allow the growth of such weeds as the amusements which the metropolis, and which all large towns, more or less, afford, a filthy and illegitimate taste and feeling will usurp the place of the honest and healthy tone it is our interest to cultivate. Whilst the rural poor—by the covet ousness of their employers and their own necessities debarred from the means of enjoyment to which they, as all other men, are entitled—will sink to that wretched, sullen, and degraded state which is the root of half the crimes that terrify the world. Amongst the sports and pastimes of our forefathers are some which the advancement of civilisation and humanity would suppress • but there are few even of those whose effects would be so pernicious as the ludicrous contortions of a Surrey ballet, and the clap trap music of a promenade concert—two fair samples of what the amusements of the lower orders now are. It is objected to such of our old English sports as now exist, that they have become the exclusive amusements of the lowest of the community—that they are inseparable from pot-houses and a certain slang and coarseness which would exclude them from all respectability. The game of " shovel board," or, as it was afterwards [called, " shove halfpenny," may be remembered by some of our readers as a very " vulgar game," played only in " low" public-houses ; this, however, was once a courtly game. We simply quote this instance, which occurs to memory as an illustration, and will serve for the rest, without going into any antiquarian detail. Driven from the upper classes by a certain cant refinement, which has accompanied the pro gress of every age, and upheld only by the fre quenters of beer-shops, where alone now exist the means of playing them, the sports of the rich have become the exclusive property of the poor, and the worst kind of poor—the idle and the profligate— whilst they naturally inherit the patois or slang of their masters. The few of the higher orders who still uphold them seem to pride themselves on their conventionalism ; and, with a sort of innate propensity for that which is coarse and low, they do not hesitate to frequent the vile places in which these things are to be found. The only chronicle, also, which exists of our games, unfortunately carries out the same idea ; and, al though conducted with a praiseworthy spirit and in telligence, panders too much to the tastes of those to whom it is addressed. The true friend of the people, and of their sports, would see them divested of their vulgarity and villanies, and so recorded that they should not offend the nicest ear; for it is a false notion that even boxing, the most questionable of all, is inseparable from blackguardism and ruffianism. Such are the intentions with which we commence our task ; and we trust we shall succeed in the attempt. Future papers will be devoted to sugges tions for " reviving many of our old sports, and plans for the establishment of play-grounds and associations apart apart from beer-shops, in village s and towns ; whilst others will contain remarks on the evils of the present system and the vices they lead to.—Young England. . THE ISLE or —With reference t o th e A ct A N "th and Bth Victoria. chap. 43, by which the t ra d e he tween the Isle of Man and the United Kingdom is to be deemed coastwise, except as to articles liable to duty, the Commissioners of the Customs have caused directions to be issued to their officers in London and at the several outports of the kingdom, acquainting them that it will be requisite, in respect to the article of corn, that the record of such importa t i ons s h ould still be kept up, con formably to the precedent established in the case of corn imported from Ireland, as communi ca t e d t o t h em i n t h e Board's gener a l order of February, 1830. The officers of the several departments have, therefore, been in structed to take eare that an exact account of all corn, grain, meal, and flour imported from the Isle of Man be recorded and included as heretofore in their periodical returns of imports transmitted to the inspector-general of imports and exports ; observing, that, if any quanti tics imported since the passing of the Act before-men tioned have been omitted in the returns hich they have already furnished to that officer, a special state ment, affording the necessary particulars in respect t d o d f the quantities so omitted, is to b e prep F edandfor_ are to the inspector-general with all practicable dispatch. PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS, The proposed line (which has long been projected, and is now brought forward on the rejection of the London and Norwich Direct line by the Board of Trade), is Intended to form a connecting link between the Norwich and Brandon railivay at Thetford, and the Eastern Counties line; at or near Hatfield (about four miles from Chelmsford), whence it will be continued to the town and port of Maldon, accommodating in its course the important and populous towns of Bury St. Edmunds, Lavenham, Long Melford, Sudbtiry, Halsted, Bocking, Braintree; and Maiden, and forming at once the most direct and economical line to Norwich, and opening a communi cation between the fertile agricultural interior of Essex and the Sea. Reference to the map of the district through which the line passes at once suggests that the communication between Norwich and the Metropiilis should follow the old coach route through the populous towns which that traffic has contributed to foster, and it can hardly be imagined that existing Interests will be permitted to be entirely sacrificed by its diversion into other channels. to this point of view, therefore, this line may be considered of vital iMportance to the vallous towns near which it passes, but to the public at large it also offers considerable inducements as a means of investment. This line will secure both the traffic between the interior of Essex and the port of Maldon, and between that town and the Denfle Hun dred, and Chelmsford and London—the distance between those places being less than by the al coach road. The towns of Docking, Braintree, and Halstead, are all con nected with the silk trade, and the intercourse existing between them and the port of Maldon is' even now very extensive. To these places the Maldon branch (which is an integral part of the present scheme) is of great moment, as it will re. duce the price of carriage from about Bs. 6d. to 2s. per ton, thus giving a stimulus to trade, and materially augmenting the imports of coal, coke, iron, oil-cake, tar, slates, and other general mer chandise, and the exports of corn, flour, wool, and other agricultural produce, while the distance to London will be only lengthened about half a mile. The borough of Sudbury is also connected with the silk and bunting manufacture, but is supplied with heavy goods by the Stour navigation, to which this line will prove an important feeder. Every line hitherto proposed crosses the valley of the Stour below Ballingdon-bridge to the east of the town, by a long and expensive viaduct, thereby entailing a heavy outlay, and risking an opposition from the nati,gation, and the great probability of penning back the floods on to the town of Bailingdon. The prcsent line (with a sta tion at North-street), crosses the valley to the west of the town, at the narrowest point, on a short timber viaduct. avoiding all possi bility of a collision with the navigation (which does not extend above bridge), and saving a serious expenditure, and all danger from the floods. The towns of Long Melford and Lavenham are engaged in the horse-hair manufacture, and in woolstopling, &c., and would enjoy the benefit of a quick communication both with Norwich and Lon don, and a cheap supply of coal and other heavy goods from the river St ur. . . To the town ofßury this line affords at once the most direct commu nication w th Norwich and London, and with the port of Lynn, with which it already maintains a considerable intercourse ; and it will also prove the shortest route from Yarmouth and Norw ch to the metropolis, thereby securing a large portion of that tragic in con nexion with the Norwich and Brandon Railway. Instead of passing through a thinly inhabited district, as is the case with the London and Norwich direct line, this Railway will accommodate a population of upwards of 150,000 souls, seven market towns, and three boroughs, returning each two Members to Parliament. The intermediate traffic, therefore, particularly on market-days, will be very considerable, and will form a consi derable sonrce of emolument, not possessed by any other line to Norwich. Independently of passengers, a considerable income will be de rived, not only from silk and other manufactured goods, but from the vast quantities of corn, flour, wool, malt, &c., beasts, sheep, and pigs, dead meat and poultry, which are annually sent from the entire district ; and from East Norfolk, to the London markets. The promoters have carefully revised the traffic estimates, and the following Summary of actual Existing Traffic may be relied upon : Coach traffic, including passengers by coach to Lon don direct, coach parcels, passengers by gigs, &c., and intermediate between the stations, horses and carriages, and conveyance of mails -•••••• • • • • • • • £48,766 3 10 Goods traffic, including coals between Maldon and Braintree, and Maldon and Halstead, manufactured goods, groceries and shop goods, corn, flour, malt, wool, &c., cattle, beasts, carcases, poultry, &c• •.. 35,719 1 11 Total traffic ...._• ••••• • • • • • • • ••••• • •• • • £94,435 5 9 Deduct 40 ) er cent. for maintenance of way, ' working power, management, and other expenses • Net annual profit, being about 6U per cent. on the capital required .. •• • • ....... • The above is without calculating upon any anticipated increase from the sources before-mentioned, which there is no doubt would augment the dividend to at least 10 per cent. The total length of the line, as at present laid down, including the branch to Maldon (5% miles in length) is—to Bury, about 41 miles; to Thetford, 53 miles. The line does not Interfere with any ornamental property; there are no engineering difficulties, aTal the gradients arc remarkably good ; and the total cost, including stations, &c., is not expected to exceed 13,000!. a mile, leaving a considerable balance for Engines and Stock, Parliamentary and incidental expenses. Its claims to public support, therefore, rest as much upon its intrinsic merits, as on the recognised principle of protection to vested interests—while, so far from being inimical to the lines it joins, it must act as an impor tant feeder to the Eastern Counties Railway, and will be the means of preventing a diversion of the greater part of the Norwich and Brandon traffic to the Eastern Union line.

Name Description - Residence Date Reference to Witness ALSE ON MEDICAL GALVANISM. " Mr. HALSE, late of this cottnty, but now of 5, Pelham crescent, Brompton, London, has lately published a pamphlet on MEDICAVGALVANISM, the contents of which have really asto nished us. If it be true that galvanism can accomplish such cures as are there stated, the galvanic apparatus must take as commanding a position over medical science as the steam-engine does over mecha nical science. It is true that galvanism has long been resorted to as a remedial agent, but the old form of batteries were so uncertain in their action as to almost do as much harm as they did good. Mr. liaise, like a true philosopher, conceived that it may be possible to select the good and discard the evil effects of the apparatus, and after years of intense study he has accotnplished what he desired—viz., to regulate the power of the galvanic apparatus to the greatest nicety. We consider this to rank as the greatest improvement which has ever been made in the galvanic battery. In the pamphlet we noticed an extract from the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette' of March 14. We extract this article for the benefit of invalids Our readers may have noticed several extracts we have given from Mr. Halse's pamphlet on Medical Galvanism. We have reason to believe that every case stated in that pamphlet is perfectly true, wonderfUl as they cert. inly are; for, a short time since, we called on Mr. Heise, and were introduced to him by a gentleman who was undergoing the operation. The patient informed us that it was not at all an unplea sant sensation, indeed we felt it ourselves, and there was not the least unpleasantness about it. This gentleman's case was paralysis, and he de •lared to us that b efore he came to Mr. 'llse on, leg had withered away to mere skeleton ; " bnt now, said he, "you rerceive it is both *WO and healthy." Such, indeed, was the case. If we can judge by the fittrater of patients Mr. liaise has, we should say he is making some very wonderful Wes, for his house is crowded from morning till night.

In another month the entire distance, .84 miles, with the exception of the Bangor portion of the line, approaching the 'Menai Straits, and the passage over them, which stands in abeyance at the request of Government, will oho be under contract. It was originally contemplated by ISIr. Stephenson, the engineer to carry the railway over the pre sent Menai bridge, but this was objected to by the Woods and Forests, and by Mr. Walker, the Government engineer. He now recommends the Directors to construct a permanent bridge over the Britannia Rock, to be used exclusively for the transit of the trains, and application for the necessary powers will be made in the ensuing session. The works at this point will he the weightiest on the line, and the proposed bridge over the straits of stu pen dous construction. There will be two arches ofe:3o feet span, the segments of the arch to be formed of iron. They are proposed to be built without centerings, and of such a nature as to prevent any obstruction to the navigation ; fear of which was the principal reason for not granting this portion of the line last session. Within the last few days engineers have been taking plans and soundings at the Britannia Rock, with the view of giving evidence before the House on the subject. The line was originally laid out by Mr. George Stephenson iu 18:38. In 1839 Commissioners were appointed by Government to select the best lines, and the best harbours to be adopted, so as to furnish a better and more direct communication between England and Ireland. The haibours to which the attention of the Commissioners was direeted were those of Holyhead and Portdinnlaen. The lines were four, viz., from Holyhead to Bangor and Chester ; -from Portdinnlaen, via Carnarvon, to Bangor and Chester ,• from Poetdiunlaen, by Bala and Shrewsbury ; and the fourth from Ormshead to Chester. The latter lines, from Portdinnlaen and Ormshead, were rejected by the Commissioners, who conceived that, being open road steads, they could not be well adapted for mail-packet stations. The Chester and Holyhead starts from the Birken head line, auras parallel. for five miles with the Dee, ant sweeps on to Mostyn, Flint, Abergele, Baghilt, and Llandowlais, skirting the seashore until it arrives at the pro montories of Peuniaen Bach and Pamaen Mawr, where the chief engineering difficulties occur. Owing to their extreme steepness two plans were proposed by Mr. Stephenson, either to carry a ledge along them, or to perforate them by a tunnel. • The forieer, lie thought, would be the cheapest, but he had been induced to adopt the latter, as it will prevent the trains from exposure to the sea, which beats powerfully at those points. The line sweeps by a viaduct over Bangor, and through Anglesea on to Holyhead. Fron . qheetee it will riut for thiltYesilve 7 tntes - ot(altird;"WhieVin an eigilieitink point of view, is almost unprecedented. Adeviation, with the concurrence of the landowners, is proposed to be made in tne route at Bangor, in consecnience of opposition from the bishop, whose palace it originally proposed to•pass on a viaduct. The proposed modification will 'entail an increased expense of 50,000/. We understand- that arrangements have been made with COlonel Pennant, one of the principal landed proprietors, that the works between the Ogwm river, near Bangor, and the Menai Straits, may be proceeded with immediately. The line, when constructed, will be employed in the conveyance of the Government mails, troops, and ordnance stores. It will cost 2,100,0001., and bring the metropolis within 270 miles of Holy head, by a journey of ten hours. Ten thousand tons of rails have already been contracted for. THE LATE EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR AT NOTTINGHAM. Norriseitain, FEB. B.—The investigation into this extra. ordinary affair —some particulars of which appeared in The Sun of last week—was resumed on Thursday, when Mr. M. Browne, the borough coroner, and .jury, assembled at the Milton's Head t avern , Derby-road. The inquirfwas strictly private, reporters and the public being refused admittance to the inquest-room. Through the courtesy of the coroner, however, we are enabled to give some extracts from the depo sitions. The first witness examined was Mrs. Ann Campbell, of Derby-road. She said the deceased, Hannah Wilmot, was fifteen years old on the 19th of last October. Up to a recent period she enjoyed good health. On the Bth of last August she went to live with Mrs. Farmer, who is a milliner and dressmaker on the Long-row. She boarded and lodged in the house, About two months ago (witness con tinued) I perceived that her health had undergone a serious change. She became gradually worse, until about three weeks ago, when she came to my house, and has remained there ever since. She was confined to her bed for the List fortnight, and died on Sunday night, about half-past trine o'clock. During the time she was at my house I had several conversations with her as to the nature of her com plaint. She told me her illness had been occasioned by some powders which Mr. Palmer had given her from eight to ten weeks previously. She said that she took three of those powders, in succession, at night, and had never been well since. Mr. Farmer got her a packet of them, but she only took three. I desired her to bring me one of the powders she had been taking ; and called to see her, at Mr. Farmer's, about ten days afterwards, when I found she had got a bad cold. She came to see me en the Sunday following, and I then asked her if she had brought the powder. She told me that when she returned fromeny house on the former eecasion she found her box had been broken open, and everything taken out. I did not see her again for a fortnight ; her cold was better, but she had still a cough; her lips were very much swollen, and her mouth looked blistered. I did not see her again till the:following Friday week, when her mother brought her to my house. She went home with her mother that night, and returned the next day to my house, where she remained till her death. A few days afterwards she appeared to be very ill, and I asked her how long she had felt so. She told me that she had not been well since she took the powders; and on my asking her why she was prevailed on to take them, she said she was ashamed to tell me the reason. She, however, went on to in form me, that Mr. Farmer had given her the powders be cause he supposed she was in the family way by him, he having taken liberties with her, in a great degree by force; and he was assisted in the matter of the powders by Miss Matheson, a young female living in the house. Miss Matte sea, when glving, her the powders, told her that if there should be anything wrong elle must not bring her (Miss Matheson's) name into questio n , as s h e had done it for her good. Mr. Farmer himself put the powders and a lotion into her box, and Miss Matheson, after some few days, kept the key of it. The next witness examined was Miss Ann Matheson, the young lady already referred to. Her evidence proved no thing but the good understanding which seemed to exist be tween her and Mr. Farmer. Mr. Henry Attenburrow, of Nottingham, surgeon, said—l was called in to see Hannah Wilmot on the 20th of last January. I found her labouring under constant sickness, and, after eating, pain in the head. There were then no other remarkable appearances. The next day I found that her breath had a. very strong mercurial factor. Her gums were very spongYond (1,499 a deal receded from her teeth. I continued to attend , ;the deceased. From the constant sickness, I could give:her nothing except gum water, beef tea, and matters of that kind. The medicine which I first ordered produced such distressing effects that I immediately discontinued.it. The pain in the head continued, accompa nied at fimes with loss of sight. For the last two days be fore her death she appeared to be rather improved, as food stayed on her stomach. On Sunday morning last, when I called, she had been sleeping much longer than I had allowed her to sleep, and she seemed to be sinking. I stopped with her for about three-quarters of an hour, and gave her some port wine and beef tea, which rallied her, and she appeared much as she had done the preceding day. Between eight and nine o'clock that evening I was sent for in a great hurry, and when I reached the house I found she had just died. In the morning of that day I was not without hopes of her recovering ; but when she began to sink, she sank so rapidly that it was impossible to have her dying declaration taken in the presence of a magistrate. On the third day of my attendance on her, she told me about the powders which had been given to her, and that confirmed my suspicions as to her being under the influence of mercury. made apost mortem examination. The only part of the body where disease was found was the lower part of the brain ; there were small tubercles, containing matter, in the cere bellum, and over the greater part of it, just where the spinal cord commences. The disease of the brain would account for the pain in the head, the loss of sight, and, in some measure, for the constant sickness. She died from that disease of the brain. I cannot say with certainty how long the disease might have existed, but judging from the circumstances, I think about two months. The disease might be produced by mental excitement. There was not any appearance in the stomach or bowels to indicate that any corrosive mineral poison had been administered. The spongy appearance of the gams, and the state of the breath were the only indications of her having taken mercury. She was not pregnant, She told me of powders having been given to her at Farmer's; that those which she had not taken were pillaged from her box but she did not know at what shop they were procured. Several other witnesses were examined, and the evidence was generally corroborative of that given by Mrs. Campbell and the surgeon. _ _ _ The COR6NKR, considering it useless to examine any mono witnesses, summed up at some length. He expressed his sorrow that Miss Wilmot's dying declaration had not been taken before a magistrate; as it stood there was no legal evidence to convict; and, therefore, however painful it might be to the feelings of the jury, they would be compelled to return a verdict of " Died from - disease of the brain," and this was the verdict recorded. __ The greatest disgust and indignation were expressed by all the jurors, and several of them regretted that they could come to no other conclusion.

The ice in the Serpentine, yesterday, was not above an inch thick; and, through the exertions of the icemen of the Royal Humane Society, no persons ventured on, except a few boys, who kept close to the south shore. No accident occurred. ton-gard ens , t h e ice on the Round-pond, In Kensing through persons venturing on it too soon, has been broken in several places ; and, therefore, is in a bad and clan• gerons state, the thickest part being scarcely two inches. Several of the icemen were, on Saturday and yesterday, stationed both at th e Round-pound and at the Long-water, and rendered most essential assistance in preventing anti dents, About three o'clock Mr. W. Smith, of Claremont house, Hammersmith, broke through the ice, but was extri• cated by iceman Smith, by means of the new ice-sledge, but not before he was himself immersed in the water. The num ber of skaters during the day was nearly 1,000, and no other accident of a serious nature occurred. On the Long-water the ice at the Bayswater end is the strongest, and on that part there were about 2,000 skaters. The marquee of the Skating Club was on Saturday again placed en the north bank, and a number of the members were yesterday skating* on the ice. No accidents occurred. The ice in the Regent's Park is not above an inch and three-quarters thick. Yesterday the number of skaters was about 2,000, and the accidents were numerous.
