ENGINEER—.Tohn Braithwaite, Esq. SOLICITORS. Mr. John Duncan, 72, Lombard-street ; Messrs. Sperling, Turner, and Deane, Colchester. The original eapitel of this Company, fixed at '230,000/., is now reduced to 210,1,00/ ; and under the arrangements cam pleted with tie Eas'ern Counties Railway Company, is practi cally made a Five per Cent. Stock in perpetuity, with the pro bability of an increased return in future years beyond that rate. An agreement has been concluded with the Eastern Csuntes Railway, r and has received the sanction of their Shareholders at a General Meeting, for Leasing this Line of Railway to this Company, at a rent of 10,5001. per annum, fur three years, and t 5,400/. afterwards in perpetuity, with an equal division of the nett profits beyond that rent between the Eastern Counties Railway Company and this Company. The prospects of traffic are such as to leave no doubt that the interest on the Capital Will never be less than per cent., while there is great proba bility of the annual return being considerably more. The con tractors have also been required to engage to pay out of the capital 5 per cent. interest on all moneys received by the Corn- P any, unfit the re n t f rom th e E astern C ount i es Company shall become payable. The estimate covers the construction of a single line to the Water -side at Harwich, and the stations, and land, bridges, Mad culverts for a double line, and sufficient accommodation, by an extensive jetty, for the traffic to and from the Railway and the sea ; and the Engineer has provided Contractors, with responsib'e sureties, who have undertaken for this sum of 210 ,000 i. to execute the whole of theso works, purchase all the land, and pay the Parliamentary, and preliminary, and office expenses, engineering, surveying, and conveyancing, and Eve per cent. on the calls paid during the construction of the line as before-mentioned, and- bear every contingency, so that to excess or expenditure can possibly fall upon the Proprietors. The time occupied in travelling from London to Harwich by Railway will be three hours only ; and consi•lei log the ex cellence of that port, its accessibility in all weathers, and the, ample depth of water for the largest steamers at all states of the tide, there can be ne doubt that, while Harwich will regain all its former high standing, as the Mail Packet Station of the east Coast of England, the new convenience of a Railway, and rapid transport to the metropolis, must attract a vast number of passengers from the North of Europe generally, but more particularly from Hambergh, Holland, Belgium, and also from the east of Scotland. A large quantity of fish, fruit, provisions, light goods, and general merchandise may also be expected to pass along this line and yield a considerable revenue. A large proportion of the shares have been subscribed for, and applica tions for the remaining shares must be made forthwith to the Provisional Committee of the Harwich Railway Company, at the Eastern Counties Railway Office, Shoreditch ; to Mr. Duncan, 72, Lombard -street; Messrs. Joshua Hutchinson and Sons, Lnthbury ; or to Messrs. Higlifield and Withers, Liverpool. The Deposits will be called for, to be paid on or before the 31st of January, and the calls will be made as the works pro ceed, which are to be completed within twelve months from the Contractors being in possession of the land. Arrangements will be made by the Act of Parliament for the cessation of all but a nominal expense for supporting the establishment of. this Company after the lease to the Eastera Counties Railway Company has commenced, and probably by the appointment of that Company as the Trustee for the Hai , Wish Shareholders, in which case the annual expenditure con nected with the office department of the Harwich Railway will not exceed two hundred pounds per annum.

I e Messrs. Morison and Co., London. Gentlemen, I considet it my duty to make my case known to yos, having fig many years been a great sufferer, until relieved by your invaluab e medicines. In 182 t I was first attacked with a sickness at the stomach, which continued for some time; 1 ha 4 frequent bilious attacks and could get no relief, which obliged me frequently to give uo work altogether. About two years ago I was under the doctor's hands three too ths, with a diseased liver and stomach ; my com plaints were alleviated fora short time, when I was a ized with a low nervous fever This was the worst of all my complaints, and it is im possible to describe my sufferings. The doctor did not seem to under stand my complaints, or did not know how to relieve them ; he di rected me to trr sea bathing. I was better at first, then came on loss of ap .etite, and could get no res t n i g ht or day, .so that I almost lost my senses. I then - went to a fresh doctor, who told me he could cure use in a faith ght. At the first I found benefit as before, but itbafficd his skill, and I was as bad as ever, and left him. I then commenced drinking herh tea, which I found did me more good than the doctor. I was next attacked with a very severe bowel complaint anti sickness, and I sent to the doctor again. I was confined to my bed a week, and redu eel to a skeleton I got a little b •tter, but the doctor refused to give me any more medicine, as it was of no use; he could do me no good, for had I continued there would have been no chance what ever, and he did not wish to injure me. Hearing of your medicines curing a man after thedoctors had given him up, I was resolved to give them a teal. V% hen I first commenced I was diseased from head to fool My avetite was so ravenous I was never satisfied, and dropsy seemed takiog the lead of my other complaints Mr Fisher, your agent in Liverpool, kindly advised my commencing with small doses of the pills, ii creasing as I could bear them. I never exceeded 1.2 or 14 at a time, and have now been taking them 18 months. All my complain's have left me, except that my stomach continues rather we k, which is all I suffer from at present, and I think that, by fur ther perseverance, I shall arrive at perfect health. lam HOW better than I have been for many years past.

No. 66, Bridport-p e, Iloxtnn, London, Jan. 28, 1843. Gentlemete—A sense of duty to my fellow-creatures, as well as gra nude to yourselves for the benefit your invaluable medicine i.as conferred en me, induces me to make this communicati n to • on, in the hope that it may be the means ef removing the prejudice which unfortunately exists against a medicine o hiah places the reatest earthly blessing—namely, that of h , atth—within the reach of every one w' , o will accept of it. I have been afll cted with ill health for sears-1 might almost say from childhood—to within a sh , rt period of the present time. Disease under various forms has gone f,rto , mb: t.r a portion of my existence. The last form it assumed <, as dropsy, with which I was attacked about five months since, ant which made such a rapid progress that at about the end of one month I was bought to the last extremity, my body and legs bei' g swelled to. frightful size. I had the mast fa al symptoms of speedy dissolution—my hours on this earth appeared to be but few. At this ri!ical period, a friend, directed by an ever-watchful Provi d , nee, who had often ussd his persuasive powers on previous eCC.I - s with but too 11 success, hearing of my condition, and rightfully enoug ~ eonsal. ring that my confidence in the faculty must now be s a en, as their treatment scented r.:the to assist the di- ease than otherwise, and knowing that however hopeless my case appeared, if it were within the reach of mortal power, what alone could save me, presented me some of Morison's Pils, requesting me as a personal favour to try th'tn. I did so, and the result has been, with the blessing of God, a restoration to health, to the surerise of all my friends, who look on me as one raised fr tin the dead. I began with six at night, arid have never exceeded eight. I found the first dese attacked the complaint, and at the expiration of a week, so rapid was the elfec , produced by them, my legs and feet had come down to their proper size. I was enabled to resume my situation three months after my using the pills, in a better state of health than ever I en jo ed. H ping that my case, which, it mu-t be admitted, is no .rifling one, may be the means cf opening men's eyes with renpect to the fallacious system of the doctors,' which is one of inconsistencies and contradictions, and of caus.ng them to think seriously for them selves on r.sn ject of so much importance—the acquisition of health, on a safe and cc rtain princip'e—as after my own care, I am persuaded that, however dice set, or of bowever so long standing, relief, if n t health, is a soon witnin the reach of all—with these imperfect re marks I condo •e, and believe en' t-i remain, Gentlemen, ever grateful for the benefit 1 pace received, HENRY THACKER.

But, thank God, I have now found a certain cure for my affliction in your very valuable Oil.

Sir,-1 beg to inform you that one of my relations, a boy 12 years of age, having been bitten one night, at about half.p.ist eight o'clock, by a venomous snake, called by the natives Cataverien, or Carpet Snake, abou twelve o'clock his whole bod y became swollen to an enormous size, and he commenced vomiting blood and rice, accom. pooled with an oppression in the chest, and in the last stage. I have, in the absence of other medicines, given him a dose of twelve of Morison's No. 2 Pills trom the last purchase I made from you, and the boy, half an hour after he had taken the pills, threw up bile and had a few motions, whereby he felt instant relief, which gave him good rest till the next 'morning, and when he a wo k e he st i ll fe t heavy symptom s , upon which a medical practitioner, a relative of the patient, prepared a draught, and desired the noy to take it; he peremptorily refused, and said he would take other medicine but the pills he had taken before, because he benefited thereby ; accordingly, another dose of nine pills was given him ; about half an hour after he _vomited some green stuff and had three green motions, and entirely recovered. I beg also to being to your notice that, notwithstanding the most extra. ordinary cu e I ha e exparienced with this invaluable medicine In the bite of a venomous stake, as above stated, I have had the hap_ pines., of curing various complaints of both a chronic and ac,ite nature, and more particularly of myself. I must say that were it n •t for these pills I should to this very day suffer with the severe pain in the pit of my stomach which used to come on me very fre. quently for several years bdore I usrd ti em ; in fact, many my neighbourhood who knew me to have suffered with the pain and that I had cured myself of it with these pills, flock to me le , r aid whenever they are taken ill, and I am obliged to give it to them, grat.s in some instanced. Hoping that, :a these pills are now be. mining better known a s.ong the native population, and will be in greater demand daily, you will always ha ve a good stockon hand fur the benefit of mankind in this l'art of the universe, I beg to subscribe myself, Sir, Yout very obedient servant, V.

IREPORT of the BRITISH COLLEGE of FALTH, New-road, for ISM. In the year n 82e the above Establishment London, was founded by James Morison, the Hygeist, who, t gether with a great number of indivi. duals, became members thereof, in order the more effectually to carry out those pr nciples in medicine known as the " Hygeian Sys tern;" which have from interested motives been so violently opposed by the Faculty, but which they (the Hygeists), notwithstanding, coa sclentiously believe to be founded 'in truth. Time, the test of all theories, has in st certainly proved the truth of that system. The Hygeian agents in different parts of the world, who are highly re_ spectabte persons, have all concurred in their reports as to the cure of disease by Morison's Medicines, when many of the parties had been given over as incurable under the ordinary medical treatment; these facts are on record throughout the different parts of the globe, and, therefore, Hygeists are justified in denouncing the present sys. teen of doctors (t se organic pathology) as being altogether founded in error, which, we submit, is emply proved by the fact of doctors being at this stay quite at variance with one another, both as regards the theory of disease and its practice—hence have we the Water Cur e Homoeopathy, Mesmerises, &e. The fact of medical men being gene rally persons of education is not of it•elf at all conclusive of their being the most competent to cure cisease, if it can be proved, as we say it can, that, from interested motives, the medical schools have din rged from the path of simple nature, and for profit have made the science of medicine one of confusion, not to be understood by even the wisest man that ever lived; in proof of which assertion we refer the public to the mcdikal works of the day, which contain the most fiegrant contradictions and absurdities. Mr. Monsen, on the other hand, proceeding upon a sinip:e, but true and natural theory— namely, that all diseases, however they max show themselves, have their origin in an imeure state of the blood and fluids, so that there is, in fact, but one disease—administers at once the Vegetable Uni. versal Medicine ; and lie, and those connectea with his system, h ave invariably found,* that when the disease was curable it has been cured by that simple process, whilst, if the same disease had been submitted to Learned doctors, they would have tried, perhaps, innu. merable prescriptions, all dignified with Latin names, and, after all, have left the patient where they found him, if not worse. We say these are facts of awry day occurrence, and that those who will in. quire into this imp irtant question will find them such. We are aware that the practice of a system like the Morisonian w uld not sufficiently remunerate doctors, since every person might thus become his own physician. The public will, therefore, notbe much sur rised that the Faculty should have adopted a system founded on organic prin ciples, as if the body were a piece of patchwork. which consequently obliges all persons (except Hygeists) to have recourse to them in cases of disease ; hence we see, in almost every street. e y e an d ear infirmaries, and other estreelisliments for treating different parts of the body. In conclusion, we have to lay before the public an extract from the last Report of the Exeter Hygelan Dispensary, together with Lady Grey's last letter. and the amount paid by us for stamps to the Bri tish Governmen.. Sea, all of which we submit i s corro b orat i ve of the foregoing allegation, namely, that the present system of doctors i n treating diseases on organic principles is altogether erronerees.

Case of Cure reported by Lady Sophia Giey. Sandiway, December 7, 1843. Gentlemen,—By the wish of our labourer, G. Greaves, I write to say that lie wishes it trabe known how greatly he has benefited by taking your most excellent medicines. When we came to this place he was a poor sickly young man, so often tied up with violent attacks of asthma, that the farmers would not employ him, and Mr. Booth Grey gave him little jobs when able to do anything. I instantly per suaded him to take your Pills in small doses, alternately No. 1 and No. 2. He h.s done so, never exceeding seven pills at a dose, and is now a very he ilthv man, and ab:e to work like any other labourer, and not affected by every change in the weather. I have known se veral that have received great benefit from your Pills in this most dis tressing complaint. I have several bad cases in hand, and no words can describe the blessing this medicine is to the poor. I have seve ral patients I have never seen, but send theadvice by letter; but am not deceived, as I have friends who watch their progress. As for my self I should have been dead years ago if it had not been for your Pills and the mercy of my Heavenly Father. I remain, Gentlemen, yours sincerely obliged, SOPHIA GREY. To Messrs.

The Council, at the same meeting, on the motion of Councillor Miller passed the following resolution relative to the late Robert Stewart, Esq. :—" The Council having considered that this is the first meeting; that they have had since they heard the very sad intelligence of the death of Robert Stewart, Esq., her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Bogota, ‘1 hick took place on the 15th day of July last, who for many years represented this district of burghs, with so much credit to himself and satisfaction to his constituents, beg to record their deep feelings of s)mpathy with Mrs. Stewart and her family, who hare lost a husband and father, who lived beloved, and died lamented, by all who had the pleasure of his acquaint ance.

In the month of May last lie was violently seized with inflammation in the neck of the bladder, so that he had not the power to pass his water; consequently Mr Perkins, surge n, of Exete-, was sent for to pass the catheter and draw it oft: Mr. Potter was otherwise extremely ill from rheumatic gour, so much so, that Dr. Elliott, of Mount Radford, Exeter, was in attendance with Mr. Perkins, and it was conside re d th a t he was in imminent danger. All mans were had recourse to, ace , rding to the present mode of practice, to restore their patient, which was in som mea sure effected, as, after many weeks, the patient left hit bed; but as for the bladder, it had lost entirely its contractile power, so much so, that for thirteen weeks he never could make water in the natural way, and the catheter was obliged to be introduced four or rive times every day, and always dining the night it was kept pa,sed into the bladder. Mr. Potter contitrued to suffer in this distres.iog manner until the sth of August, about winch period he was recommended to me to aee if Morisoats Pills would have any pod elf et upon him, and my opinion being favourable as to the ultimate results of that medicine upon him, he immediately began with three pals at night and two in the morning, aid at the end of the thirst day, COiONERS ' JURIES,--A short time since an inquest was held in a parish, not a hundred miles from Exmoor, upon which twelve jurymen were empanelled.

FOR STOPPING DECAYED TEETH. M R. THOMAS'S SUCCEDANEUM , Price 4s. ed. Patronised by her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and her Reval Highness the Duchess of Kent. This valuable SUCCEDANEUM for STOPPING DE CAYED TEETH, however large the cavity is far superior to anything ever before used, as it is placed in the tooth in a soft state, without any pressure or pain, and in a short time becomes as hard as the enamel, and will remain firm in the tooth for marry years, rendering extraction unnecessary. It arrests all further progress of decay, and renders them again useful in mastication. Prepared only by Mr. Thomas, Surgeon-Dentist, 68, Ber ners-street, Oxford-street. Price 4s. 6d., and will be sent free by post to any part of the kingdom. Mr. Thomas continues to supply the loss of teeth without sprints or wires, and has introduced an entirely 1\ EW DE SCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, which will be found very superior to all others, as they will never decay, nor become discoloured, and their perfect resemblance to nature defies detection even by the closest observer. This method does not require the extraction of any teeth or roots, or any painful operation whatever. The charges will be found much less than most Dentists.

LI ER/3 ARY HIGHGATE e 1~ 4- jd The Observateui• of Brussels notices, but without appearing to attach much credit to the account, tilt., ham ing relation, published in 'a pamphiet, of a mira culous cure at Tourney :—" Mlle. Dumortier, a young woman of great piety, 25 years of uge, and daughter i)f the representative of - the town, fell grievously ill on the Ist of November. She got gradually worse until Ylie 14th of December, when all hope had fled. On that day the medical man wanted to giro her a now and ex treme remedy, but she refused it, saying, that as a neueizine was being then performed for her, she felt cer tain that she should be cured next day by the.iniraeu lons intercession of the Virgin Mary. Tne iicxt moraine, at nine o'clock, whilst a last mass was performed for her health, she ruse, and dressing herself with great ele gance, was ready to receive the persons who had gone to the church. The greatest surprise was felt by those who knew her former state, and _saw_ her restored to health. Letters were read from the pulpit at Valen ciennes, Mons, and Tournay, narrating the miracle. and a high mass was celebrated at the last named place, the clergy receiving at the entrance of the church Mlle. Dumorticr, who was led in by her father. A great crowd was collected to View the patioot, 'and both she and her father replied by frequent salutes to the marks of interest exhibited by the spectators." The landholders of East Lothian held a meeting some days ago at Haddington. The proceedings—unlike those of the League—were kept 4t,rlcity secret. But it has transpired that a resolution was adopted to forM are association, like the new one in'EsSex, fur the protection of agriculture. What this means we need not explain. 'Of course an attempt will be made to make dupes and cat's-pal% sof the farmers, by getting them to fight the landlords' battles.—Scolsatert. The convict Sarah Westwood, sentenced to death at the recent Stafford Assizes for poisoning her husband, will be executed on Saturday next, unless the mercy of the Crown should interpose. Although the Rev. George Norman, provisional chaplain of the county prison, has, since her condemnation, been indefatigable in his endea vours to induce her to make a confession of her guilt, and of the motives which led to so dreadful an act, yet those endeavours have proved totally unavailing.. The only feeling she evinces is one of anxiety for the welfare of her children.— Worcester Journal. CURIOUS IF TRUE.—The Gazette do relates the following anecdote :—" A few days back. the Arles and Marseilles diligence contained amongst its parengers.e strange: who spoke Fratch fluently, but with an English accent. The conversation turned on various matters of no great moment and a certain reserve was observed amongst the pertops,,ecu pying the vehicle. At last one of the travellers - turned to bit, neighbour, and said, Yon are an Englishman?! The reply. was in the affirmative. Well, when are you going to hang your O'Connell?' An air of the utmost disdain arose 0.13 the features of the stranger, as he drew forth his passport, an t i, showed to the questioner those words in it—John O'Connell, son of Daniel O'Connell. Anil now, gentlemen,' said Ma. John O'Connell, turning towards the other passengers, • throng 4 respect for you, I Awl make no other reply to this mane Let him, however, know, that al long as O'Connell Ls suns he shall not be banged.' It is easy to imagine the eon- . fusion of the interrogator. The rest of the journey passed without remark." VOTE OF CENSURE UPON A PARISI' SUM: An adjourned meeting of the Board of Guardians of the parish of Newington, Mr. Pugh in the chair, took place oU Tuesday., evening, at six o'clock, at the workhouse in the Cimbertiell road, to investigate the charges brought against Mr. 'Boddy, the parish surgeon, for alleged neglect in a fatal case of mid. wifery. Twenty-three guardians were present, and a very large number of medical gentlemen. The evidence taken at the. inquest of the deceased, a Mrs. Hayes, together with a con demnatory verdict cf the jury, had been ordered to be printed, and wps in the possession of each of the Guardians. • Mr. Buddy was exonerated from, the charge of being 'the cause of the death of the deceased, and a mstioa for his dismissal from the parochial o ffi c e was negat i ve d b y t h e Votes of 18 guardians against 5. A vote of censure was, however, (tarried against Mr. Buddy ; and Sirs. Fox, the midwife, who bas bean hi therto employed by Mr. Boddy, was deelar:d to be no longer worthy of trust. Mr. Boddy has been 18 years parish sur geon, and this, it would appear, is th e fi rs t c h arge involving his professio na l reputation. During the course of the 'anvestie Ration, which lasted until midnight, Mr. noddy - produced an engrossed vote of thanks from the same parish, which bad, together with 40!., beer, presented to him in the year 1841.., • THE SUICIDE AT CHALK YARN.---YeStEnilly Mr. Wakley, M.P., h e ld an i nquest at the Elephant and Castle, Old St. Pancras-road, on the body of Joseph Taylor, aged 20, a bookbinder. A lad, named Jones, said that he was at work in the Chalk Farm-fields at half-past eight o'clock on Tens day morning, when he saw deceased near a hedge loading a pistol, to fire at some starlings, witness thought. Immediately after he heard a report, but could not see deceased. He went soon after to the spot, and found deceased lying there, with his face and b ea d bl own away, and two large pistols on the 'ground beside him. One of the pistols had been recently diseharged, The police soon came and took the body to the St. Pancras workhouse. Joseph Taylor, bookbinder, of No. 3d, Marshall street, Golden-square, said deceased was his sr n, and left home on Tuesday morning, about seven o'clock, witness thought, to go to his work, in Apollo-court, Temple-bar, where he was an apprentice. Deceased complained lately of head-ache and general languor, and laboured under mental delusions, keel about a month since spoke of destroying himself. Witness did 'not think he spoke seriously. Deceased got the pistols from the kitchen of the house in which they lived; they belonged to the landlord o f th e h ouse, an d w i tness b el i eve d t h at deceasede- stroyed himself.

TIMES.—It appears that the late diSclosnres at the Mansion -house relative to fraudulent transfers- of. sfitc'e, have induced the authorities at the Bank to withheld' all information for the present on the subjset of unclaimed die id en d s ; and the clerks, hating strict injunetiens thie head, refuse to answer any inquiries m a d e . FuWler eft rations are lik e l y te take place in the forms heretofore gone through when such elairns have been urged 'end allowed, and already the Directors require, in addition to the production of the probate of a will, a burial extraet to corroborate, in the strongest manner possible, the death of the party described. It is natural that com plaint should be occasionally made respecting this new order of business at the Bank, but since it is fully appa rent that public security demand: more stringent regu lations, the inconvenience that may arise for the time to the parties interested is little to be compared to the per manent advantages uhich will possibly result from the change contemplated. Consols again left off fiat to-day, and at rather lower prices,The state of affairs in Ireland has caused some. of the speculators to sell for the fall. Altogether there was a large business done in the markets, but as 'the Purchases and -sales were nearly e q ua l, t h e ulteratio.as ,n prices were not of a marked character. The Govern meat broker took about the same quantity of stock as yesterday, and hi s d ea li ngs cont i nue to be in behalf of the Commissioners for, the Reduction of the Public Debt, and fur the saving.;' banks. The project of forming a passage across the Isthmus of Panama having become of late ail object of atten tion, a history of the circumstances connected with it maynot be inopportune. In 1833 the Government of New Grenade granted exclusive privileges 'for opening a road or canal between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The rate of toll was to be established between the contracting parties for the term of fifty years, at the end of which time the improvements were to revert to the Government of New Granada, while the lands were to remain the property of the con tractors. However, the contracts thus wide all? it seems, expired in 1842, having failed in point of time. About two years ago a public meeting was held by the inha bitants of Panama, and a memorial to the Government of New Granada was signed, requesting that the ecu tract might be Placed in the hands of MI Wheelwiight, the local agent for the Pacific Steam Navigation Com• rally. Mr. Wheelwright also received a personal appli cation on the subject, and sent his proposal to the Con gress at Be .ota, where, however, nothing was effected, because the forfeiture of the French contract had not been formally declared. An interview between the Pre sident and Mr. Wheelwright at Carthagena was likewise attended by no immediate result, but it was so far sails liictory that the latter learned he might easily obtain his object by appearing personally at Bogota. Letters re ceived since that period inform Mr. Wheelwright that there is no. longee any obstacle at New Granada to op pose his plans, and therefore it appears the only opposi tion at present is that of parties at home. • . The following suggestions bfr improving the navigation of the river Iloogley are offered by a correspondent.— "Itis a work of some yerrs to obtain sufficient knowledge of' that river only to become a Bengal Brand Pilot,' anti the best means that I can suggest for the i m p rovement of the service is to engage some out of the few scores of now unemployed first and second mates of free trad?rs and numerous others who have been in India, that are now looking about for siitestions• at Lloyd's, tie Jerusalem Coffee-house, &c. These are the men, Sir, that we :quire there who ere first-rate seders, and would be qualified to act as pilots long before the year ' 1n.50 ;' then would the owner of a ship never be astounded at hearing that his vessel was suffacd to be moved in charge of a boy of 17 sears of age. This is, however, too true. Young men may'be treined up to a knowledge of the river, but 'he mere going' up and down the Iloogley sill never make sadors of them, and: tu• hard weather off the sand.heads the utmost skill as a sailor must be combined with the knowledge of those moving 'sands,' whose navigation is most intricate, and consequently far more dange.ous, than were they stationary rock.. The eteam-tugs on the lloogley are an improvement, but the charge for theta and pikttage is enormous." SUN.—The English Stocks left off a shade lower this afternoon, Con so l s b e i ng 96a to 1.
