The limited investment of British capital in the construction of Railways in France has hitherto been attended with both success and profit. The proposal, therefore, to establish a railway communica tion between the French capital and Strasburg, the point of depar ture to and from Germany, must command public attention and con fidence ; more particularly when it can be shown that peculiar faci lities are afforded by the French Government, and that those risks and expenses will be obviated, which, to so - great an extent, affect si milar undertakings in England.

This Line, of 54 miles in length, is intended to connect the great productive agricultural district of Lincolnshire, and the towns of Lincoln, Gainsborough and Doncaster, with Wakefield, the principal corn and cattle market for the manufacturing population of Yorkshire and Lancashire, and with the series of large and important towns bordering upon the line of the Manchester and Leeds Railway through out its entire course. The country into which this line will extend having never possessed the advantages of railway communication with the chief market for its produce, which has been thus compelled to snake use of a circuitous and tardy conveyance, this undertaking will at once remove many of those difficulties with which the home-grown corn of that neighbourhood has hitherto contended in maintaining its ground, even in its own market, against the importation of foreign grain ; at the same time that it offers in return the means of rapid and cheap carriage of coal, coke, stone, salt, and lime, more especially of the two latter articles, to a very large extent, for agricultural pur poses, at a reduction of probably not less than 50 per cent. of their present price. By this means a return cargo would be assured for all vessels employed in the conveyance of agricultural produce to Gains borough and Lincoln. As regards passenger traffic, a considerable intercourse already exists between the several towns on the proposed line, as well as with Wakefield and the manufacturing districts, and there can be so doubt that a similar increase to that which has always resulted front as improved and rapid communication, may be justly antici pated. These views being confined exclusively to the traffic peculiarly be longing to the locality of this line, it is unnecessary to enter into spe culative considerations as to the probability of any extension of the Hallway system in that important portion of the kingdom. After a survey of the country through which the line passes, the g nea has reported to the Committee that the works will be of easy construction and inexpensive, and the gradients of a very favourable character ; the latter is especially a matter of paramom.t importance to the economical working of the very large goods traffic that will naturally flow upon this line. This object will be still fbrther secured by an arrangement with the Manchester and Leeds Company for working this line in conjunction with their own, which will be a suf ficient guarantee that this important item of railway expenditure will be reduced to a very moderate amount. A more legitimate project cannot be contemplated than this, which so intimately connects the productive industry of the farmer with the constant and growing demand of a rapidly increasing manufacturing population. • The deposit to be paid on the allotment of the Shares, and on the production of the banker's receipt for the same, scrip will be delivered. Applications for Shares may be made in the annexed form ad dressed to the - Secretary of the Provisional Committee, No. 9, New Palace -yard, Westminster :- - - - - TO THE PROYISIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE LINCOLN AND WAKE FIELD RAILWAY COMPANY . I request you will allot me shares lu the proposed Lincoln and Wakefield Railway, and I agree to take such shares as may be alloted to ire, and pay the deposit of the same, and execute the Parliamentary contracts and the subscribers' agreements, when fequired to do so.

We, the endersigned, solemnly declare that before Thos Ro bins, one of our parishioners, comenced taking " Halse's Szorbut a s ic Drops," he was literally co, ered with large running wounds (some of them so large that a person mig t have laid hi list in them) ; that before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement, and that by continuing them for some time, he got completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried various sorts of me,!icines before taking Halse's Scorbutic Drops," and had prescriptions from the most celebrated physicians in this country, without deriving the least benefit. "Halse's Scorbutic Drops," have co rpletely cured him, and he is now enab'ed to attend to his latour as well as any mai in our parish. From other cures also made in this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" to the notice of the putlic.

The traffic already existing between Chatham, Gravesend, and London, is well-known to be very large, and it cannot be doubted that, when the communication with the Metropblis is reduced in time to ow. hour, the Railway conveyance will obtain a decided preference to the river. When to this are added the prospective ad vantages that may be derived from passengers landing at Thames Haven, and the economy of the construction, and the Parliamentary expenses, which have already been paid, the intended line promises a more liberal return than any other at present in contemplation. It is intended to confine the operations for the present to a single line, with jetties; and responsible parties have offered to perform the works to the satisfaction of the .Engineers, within eighteen months, and without exceeding the specified capital. About one-fourth of the Shares have been already subscribed for, and it is intended to pay interest half-yearly at five per cent. per annum on all future payments from the date of payment. The Works will be commenced under the Act of Parliament al ready obtained by the Thames Haven Company; as soon as the capital is subscribed. The following Tabular Statement of the comparative distance, and the time occupied. to or froM the 3TetropOtis in travelling by the proposed Line, and others projected on the Surrey and Kentish side, will show the great superiority of the Line described in this Prospectus. 1 7 -g i3l E o t s.g, .. a t "cs .

THE BATTLES AT HINGOLAIL The following spirited descriptions are furnished by military cor respondents of the Agra Uhhbar Negotiations had been going on for sone days previous to the 26th of December, 1843, on which day it was supposed the Gwalior Government would submit to all the terms imposed by the British Government. This having failed, on the 48th all general officers, officers com manding brigades and regiments, were directed to assemble at the Commander-in-Chiefs tent at nron. They did so accordingly, t 7 receive their instructions for the line of march, or for the columns of attack, should they meet opposition on the following morning, which was fully expected. The whole of the troops were under arms before daylight on the morning of the 29th of December, 1843, and marched from Hingolals, the 3d brigade of Infantry taking a direction towards Mungowlee, the 4th brigade marching upon Mooreeno, and the sth brigade, consisting of No. 10 Light Field Battery, the 4th brigade of Cavalry, consisting of the 4th Lancers and 10th Light Cavalry, under Brigadier Scott, together with her Majesty's 39th Regiment and 56th Regiment of Native Infantry, moving upon the road to Joora. These columns all arrived at their respective positions at eight o'clock having marched a distance of six miles. We were aware the enemy were in position at no great distance, though their exact locality was not -known to us. We were fornied in quarter distance contiguous columns, the artillery and cavalry on our left, in cultivated fields. At this period we perceived four or five elephants coming up in the rear of her Majesty's 39th Regiment; to our surprise we perceived Lady Gough, Mrs. General Smith, Miss Gough, and Mrs. Curtis, with three European maid-servants. Lord Ellenborough, at this moment, galloped up with a few troopers, and halted in rear of the 39th colours t he spoke to General Littler and to several officers of the 39th in the most familiar manner. The military spectacle of the field of battle was at this moment truly grand ; Major. General Valiant, with his 3d brigade of Infantry in columns stretching far to the right ; Major• General Dennis, with the 4th brigade, in the centre; arid the sth brigade on the left; the 3d brigade of Cavalry, her Majesty's 16th Lancers, Ist Light Cavalry, and Governor-General's Body Guard, with Charley Grant's troop of Horse Artillery, under Major. General Thackwell and Brigadier Cureton, to the extreme right of all. The artillery Ilin their proper positions, as ordered. The elephants In rear of her Majesty's 39th Regiment tower. ing over this position of the field of battle, soon attracted the enemy's attention; it was no longer doubtful where the enemy's position lay, and a rapid fire of file guns in succession was directed towards the centre of the 39th, immediately in rear of which was Lord Ellenborough and the ladies; the distance from the enemy at that period was about 1,500 yards. The first few shots fell short, but in a few moments we could perceive by the elevation of the guns, that the practice of the enemy's artillery was perfect, for several shots in succession bounded over her Majesty's 39th, and close to the elephants. I had seen some service in distant climes. I marked well the firm, cool, and steady countenance of his Lordship on the first occasion of his having been exposed to fire, and the chivalrous bearing of this high-minded nobleman—an honour to his name, an honour to India, and to the British nation, who was reluctantly forced by his advisers and friends to quit this dangerous position, and procead with the ladies to Mooreeno, whin the enemy's fire had not then opened upon. General Littler having at length received the Chiefs' laconic order, " On and at them," directed the two regiments imme diately to advance towards the enemy; the ground was difficult and heavy, which impeded much the progress of our advance ; the enemy then opened a heavy and most destruc tive fire towards the colours of her Majesty's 39th Regi ment, and as we advanced the fire became equally destruc. tize to all parts of the line of this noble regiment, well supported by the 56th .Native Infantry. Throughout the ad. vance to this battery there was not a stone, or bank, or shrub of any kind to cover the soldiers from this heavy fire. The steadi ness, firmness, and undaunted courage of the troops, animated by the gallant Littler, were beyond all praise. The enemy's fire was unerring, not a shot but told. When about sixty yards from the battery her Majesty's 39th gave them a volley, and with three British cheers rushed upon the enemy at their guns, and the brave fellows that defended them died by their sides. The conflict in the village of Maharajpoor was short, but the struggle severe and desperate. It was impossible to state the strength of the enemy, as they were crowded in all directions; when broken in upon in the houses and inclosures in the village, and shun even they were supposed to be subdued, the fire was kept up from these places by vast numbers who had concealed themselves in the little plantations and gardens surrounding the village. It would be invidious in the writer of this to particularise any conspicuous act of gallantry where all were equally brave against one of the most destructive fires of a determined enemy, who were driven from their guns only by the bayonet. It is impossible to speak in too high terms of Major-General Littler, whose redo_ lute and cool bravery was conspicuous throughout. He (with his staff) was close in with the enemy's guns, receiving on this occasion a severe contusion from a grape shot on the left ancle. Captain Greaves was wounded by kis side, Captain Harris was engaged in a personal conflict, and Major Ryan's (her Majesty's 60th) horse was wounded by a musket ball ; this shows that our gallant Ge neral did not spare his person. In re-forming line we found that our loss had been severe both in officers and men ; our attention was then directed to a heavy cannonade on the left of the Maharajpoor. The gallant Wright soon got his brigade formed in line again ; and proceeded with a resolute and firm step to the attack of this second position, named Choundah. The distance from Maharajpoor to this new position was about a mile. The force of her Majesty's 39th Regiment and 56th Native Infantry had been much reduced in numbers, but the tried valour of the troops nothing could daunt, the Ge neral acting on his own judgment in this operation. The can nonade in this secend advance was even more destructive and mur derois than the attack upon Maharajpoor in grape, chain, and round shot; every discharge from well-served batteries in front and flank made a breach in our ranks and thinned them most rapidly, a cannon shot at this period mowing down three men of her Ma. jcsty's 39th, and also a horse on which Major Ryan was riding at the General's side. The gap in the ranks of the 39th was woeful. The gallant Brigadier then halted his regiment (the 39th) with as much steadiness as on the parade ground, and perfected the line, and, on arriving near enough to their entrenched camp, he gave them a volley as at Maharajpoor, and dashed in upon the guns with the bayonet; the enemy flying before on this occasion, and, abandoning their guns, left their tents standing. The troops at the termination of this second contest were so exhausted by fatigue and more particularly from thirst, under a strong sun, that they could not follow up their victory further, having been marching and under arms since four o'clock ♦.V., it being noon when the conflict of Choundah was terminated. The object of the writer is to afford a plain statement, without giving praise to a single individual, in any subordinate rank ; if it could be done in a letter like this, it would be to record the must brilliant acts of devotion and valour, of both officers and men of her Majesty's 39th Regiment. I must, however, mention the cool and steady courage of the veteran Bray, leading in front the colours of her Majesty's 39th Regiment, whose gallant son fell the same day, carrying one of the banners of the regiment. After we supposed all opposition had ceased four guns in a detached battery to the tight were opened upon us, with murderous grape, by a few desperate Mahratta soldiers; the Grenadier com pany of her Majesty's 39th and a company of the 56th Native In. fantry soon attacked and secured them. It is not my province to remark on this occasion upon the movements of the general field of battle; all those who were not engaged or could not be engaged evinced the most anxious zeal, hoping that it might be their turn next to move. My narration is simply what occurred with the two regiments of the sth brigade, and whatever credit may be due to General Littler, he must owe chiefly to the intrepidity and valour of the troops he had the good fortune to command on the ever memorable and glorious 2 9th of Dec., 1843. P.S.—I shoji have mentioned in its proper place the good service done by Captain Grant's troop of Horse Artillery on the Choundah position previous to the advance of her Majesty's 39th Regiment. There may be other parts of the fight connected with this Uri gade lea out of this hurried account, which, from my teing through out the day with her Alajeaty'a 3iSlti Regiment, did tiot come under my immediate eye. (From the Bombay Courier.) Heathquarters, Camp Hingolah, Dec. 28, 1843. As I happened to be one of those attached to the centre co lumn, it is only in my power to give you a slight and, I fear, im perfect account of the glorious fight we had on the 29th ; but the fact is, there were two perfectly distinct battles fought on that day —and it is the movements of the centre column which I will en deavour to describe. • When the column arrived at Mungowlee, its head was changed by the order of his Excellency the Commander.in-Chief, and moved eastward. When yet in column, to our astonishment, over whizzed two balls, and one knocked down about seven men of the 9.d Grenadier Regiment. Our gallant Commander, General Va liant, then directed line to be formed—the 2.d Grenadiers being on the left, the 16th Grenadiers, under Colonel Maclaren, in the centre, and the Queen's 40th on the right. The line then ad. vanced on the village of Maharajpoor, under a very heavy fire, •f ball and grape from a battery of four guns, poured into the 2d Grenadiers and 16th—and at the same time, some hun. dreds of ards from the village, and in front of the Queen's 40th, two more guns scattered destruction, wounding their commanding officer, Major Stopford ; and his horse, I hear was cut by swordsmen. The old gallant Commanding Officer Maclaren was hit slightly about this time, and his horse shot. " Forward" was the cry of the brave General, and on all rushed—capturing the guns, and entered the left of the village, which was occupied by numbers of the enemy, who kept up a continued fire from musketry, and who were also firing from the tops of the houses. Here we met the 39th, Queen's, and 56th Regiment, with General Littler, who, after carrying a heavy bat tery, had entered the right of the village—but the junction of the two columns soon cleared the place. At this time the half of the 16th Grenadiers and Queen's 40th, being on the right of the line, had, from not being opposite any part of the village, bean rapidly advancing, and then opened to their view the second position of the enemy, which consisted of a battery of four guns, with a large brick.house loopholed, and which was crammed by the enemy's in fantry; a well with a six-foot wall round it, and two large trees occupied by musketry. During the advance on this strong post. tion, and across a fine open maidan, you may imagine how, in the space of some 1,200 yards, we were peppered by the enemy. Shot of all sizes and grape in profusion were thrown amongst us, and, to do them justice, the enemy's artillery were beautifully served— scarcely a shot went over our heads, nearly every one told, and you saw throes and fuurs falling in every direction. But again did the cry of " Forward " issue from the lips of the General, and on coming within a few yards of the battery a most desperate rush was made; the enemy discharged their guns within five paces, and then rushed sword in band on us—and that in front of Euro peans—so you see what a gallant foe we had to contend with. Here the conduct of General Valiant excited univeral admiration; it was truly that of the bravest of the brave. tie put himself at the head of his troops, and, taking off 'his cap, cheered lustily. His enthusiasm spread, and the position was car ried in the most dashing way; but, alas 1 dreadful was the loss. Poor Newton, of the 16th Grenadiers, fell pierced by six balls; Sepoys and Europeans strewed the plain ; mounted officers seemed to be the general mark, for the Commanding Officer of the Queen's 40th, Captain Codrington, was cut down at the guns, in the act of nobly charging at its head, and several others were also wounded. Both of the Adjutants of the 16th and 40th were wounded, and also their horses. To show how much exposed was the Gallant General, it may be mentioned that his horse was hit by a cannon ball, and in two other places by grape, and he was obliged to mount another charger. His pistol inside his coat, it is said, saved his life , fer a ball entered at the left breast and passed eut, luckily causing a severe contusion only. No sooner was the position carried than to stand there became too hot, for the enemy had retired on a third position of six guns, placed 400 or 500 yards from the hut, and 4QO to its right rear, and 200 to its left. " Form line," was the word of command, and soon it was done under the superintendence of the gallant officers ; and again was the cheer upraised by the General leading the way, assisted by Col. SaMers, Military Secretary, and Major Barr, of the Queen's service. At this point the fire was the heaviest that had been sustained the whole day ; and was fearful to see how the grape mowed down the Europeans and Sepoys —the stubbornness displayed again by the enemy, in compelling the bayonet alone to clear the battery, showed us, that great in deed was the mistake raised that it was a rabble we were to oppose —for only after desperate hand to hand work was the battery carried, and the enemy fled. A harder contested action has never occurred in this p trt of India, and I believe that fought by General Littler was equally severe, but I cannot give you any ac count, as after he passed through the village and moved by our rear to attack the enemy's left, I never saw them, though the cannonade and. musketry in his direction .convinced DA that a severe engagement was taking place. I must tell you that after the 2d Grenadiers, under Colonel Hamilton, and part of the 16th Regiment, under Colonel Maclaren, had in the most gallant style cleared the village, or rather the part which fell to their share, the Commander.in-Chief personally ordered the old Burdwane to halt, and the 16th were unable to regain their position alongside the right wing, owing to the rapidity of the advance, but several from being more active got up into their places, and handsomely did they do their work. A singular accident occurredin the out heat of is of li t tu he be a r ct , i a on t , o j u u n s d t after clearing the villag e . A s a man of the Horse Artillery was in the act of takin g amm uniti on shot from the enemy fell in, and caused some boxes to blow up, and many of the gallant fellows were wounded. Our loss has been frightfully heavy, and will of itself show how desperately and gallantly did the enemy fight, as the centre column has lost some 400 killed and wounded; but the brunt of the action falling on the Europeans caused their loss to be the worst, as the Queen's 40th has about eight officers wounded and 170 killed and wounded, and had no less than three commanding officers, as the regiment at the last position was fought by Captain Oliver, and eventually brought out of action by him. The 16th Grenadiers lost Lieut. Newton, killed, and three officers wounded, amongst them the gallant Maclaren, who so often distinguished himself in Affghanis. tan, and they had 180 killed and wounded ; the Burdwans had three officers wounded—one, Captain Maclean, Aide.de.Camp to the Governor. General, some 50 killed and wounded—this is whst report says; the old Candahar brigade has lost, but the returns are not yet out. The enemy had 14 battalions of infantry in the field, some 6,000 cavalry, and sixty guns, all of which were captured. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. STANDARD.—The Morning Chronicle has a long wiseacre article in behalf of the conspirators convicted at the late State trials in Dublin. The article is a reply to an argument of an opposite character which appeared in a late number of the Times. In our opinion, the time has not yet arrived when with propriety the subject can be treated with proper freedom. There can be no doubt that if the parties convicted have acknowledged the justice of their conviction, have borne testimony to the constitutional feeling and candour of the prosecutor, such as both merit, have cheerfully admitted what no honest man can deny—the exemplary patience and zeal for justice of the jury, and the learning, temper, and impartiality of the judges—and have shown n fixed resolution to abstain from a repetition of the practices that have brought them into jeopardy— justice may be satisfied by a lenient sentence ; and the effect of all the expensive and irritating proceedings that the conduct of these men have caused will not be thrown away. If unhappily, however, they and their friends have pursued a precisely opposite course—foully calumniating pro secutor, judges, and jury, and declaring a resolution to persist in their crime, they force on their own punishment, not as the Morning Chronicle intimates by a fear, on the part of Government, of being thought afraid, but by a necessity imposed upon - the Government to do justice to itself, and to the admi nistration of the law, and to take care that the law shall not be again violated as soon as de clared. Surely in such a cause a Government, even if it should owe nothing to its own character, or to the public peace, must owe it to its prosecu tor, to jurors and judges, not as it were to put the seal upon the foul calumnies heaped upon them for doing their duty, by treating as nothing the acts done in discharge of that duty. However, as we have said, we put the question merely hypothetically, as the time for treating it absolutely has not arrived. GLOBE.—Lord Lyndhurst has introduced a Bill to the House of Lords, to " consolidate the jurisdic tion and improve the practice of the Ecclesiastical Courts of England and Wales, and for otherwise altering and amending the law in certain i mat ters ecclesiastical." The part we took n ex posing the palpable job which was sought to be ' perpetrated by Dr. Nichol], by means of his Bill of last session—and which, after promising to alter, amend, and regenerate it, was withdrawn by the consent of all parties in the House, as too bad to be improved—seems to lay us under spe cial obligation to examine this new attempt. At the outset we admit that the measure brought forward by Lord Lyndhurst is an improvement on the present law, and is much better calcu lated to give general satisfaction than Dr. Nicholl's clumsily constructed and self-serving Bill of the last session. There is also some indication of good taste in changing the person by whom, and the House in which, the new measure should originate. After the unequivocal expressions of condem nation by which Dr. Nicholl's Bill was con signed to the fate it merited, it would have been dangerous, if not fatal, even to a better measure, had it been intrusted to the same functionary to in troduce it to the House of which he is a member. A recollection of the glaring demerits of the repudiated Bill would have provoked opposition to any measure emanating from the same quarter, which it was well to avoid. The Bill before us proposes that all Courts Peculiar shall merge in the Archidiaconal and Diocesan Courts. These latter Courts, in addition to the Arches Court of Canterbury, and the Chancery Court of York (with the exception of Cornwall, Leicester, Nottingham, and Suffolk), will alone, in future, have the power to grant probates or administrations, and marriage licenses. In this particular the present measure differs from, and, we think, is an improvement upon Dr. Nicholl's Bill, as well as upon the existing system. The Bill of last session proposed to abolish the jurisdiction of the Diocesan as well as of the Peculiar juris dictions ; and Doctors' Commons was constituted the place to which all the business of these Courts was to be carried—to the manifest inconvenience and injury of the public, as well as to the practitioners in those Courts. The pre servation of the Diocesan Courts removes the nu merous and strong objections which prevailed against the former Bill. As our object is the public advan tage—which we desire to see secured to the utmost possible extent by this attempt to legis late on a subject that has so long claimed the attention of the Legislature—we shall en deavour in the spirit of fairness to specify the parts of Lord Lyndhurst's Bill which appear to require re-consideration. By leaving the law of bona notabilia untouched, it perpetuates a system which creates delay and increases expenses. \\hat imaginable objection can be stated a ga i ns t a clause being introduced into the Bill by which the grant shall be taken out in th e di ocese, or the Court, within the immediate jurisdiction of which the party shall be domiciled at the time of death; and that if d om i c il e d i n more t h an one jurisdiction, the executors or administrators shall have liberty to make election within which jurisdiction they will take out grant ? By this change, which would, we think, be an im provement in the Bill as it now stands, the local jurisdictions, which are proposed to be retained, would be rendered more efficient, and the obvious mischiefs be removed, which frequently arise out of the practice, n o w sanction e d by the law, of allowing any executor or administrator to institute proceedings for grant at a distance, merely because a portion-- possibly a very small portion—of the estate in the distant jurisdiction. The design of local jurisdictions interested in defeated, if those who are principally in the due administration of effects have not ready access to the Court out of which the grant proceeds. The bulk of the personality, and the majority of the parties interested in its distribution, will, in the great majority of instances, be found resident in the juris diction of the domicile. COMMISSION 01' LUNACY. —Thursday a Commis sion of Lunacy was opened before Mr. Commissioner Barlow, at the Sheriffs' Office, Red Lion-square, to inquire into the state of mind of Sir Thomas Baker, Vice-Admiral of the Red, and at present an inmate of Dr. Sutherland's Asylum, Black land's House, Chelsea. The fact was proved, and the jury returned a verdict that Admiral Sir Thomas Baker had been of unsound mind, and incapable of managing his affairs since the 13th of September, 1843, and strongly recom mended that he should be removed to the care of his friends a Walzuer.

The various inquiries seem to resolve themselves into the ill following :- 2d—What will be the future duty. 3d—Will Government give previous notice. In the absence of everything like official information, we can only give the opinions which are entertained by the ma jority o . f . merchants and dealers, viz., that if a reduction in the tea duties take place, it will probably be during the next session of Parliament, and that the future duty will be le. 3d. or Is. 6d. per lb. To the 3d query we reply, that the ordinary practice of Government is not to give any previous notice of a reduction in duty. Such reduction usually comes into operation the morning after its official announcement. 4th—We do not think that the alteration will either mate rially or permanently advance the first cost of tea, looking at the anticipated arrivals from China. • The expectation of a reduction in the tea duties arises from three causes :—first, from a prevalent feeling that we ought to reciprocate the liberality Of the Chinese tariff, and thus improve our trade with that empire—secondly, be cause tl►e increased consumption of tea, resulting from its reduced price, and the additional consumption of sugar arising from the augmented use of tea, would e'Yentually increase the revenue beyond its present amount—and thirdly, because our surplus revenue at present would alto* such reduction without any inconvenience resulting from a slight temporary deficiency. Beyond these three general reasons for expecting a reduc tion of duty, there seems to be no foundation for the preva lent rumour. Certain it is that the deputation which waited upon Sir Robert Peel, received no encouragement to hope so,. beyond a courteous reception and an assurance that the sub ject should have his consideration.—G.

We have great pleasure in extracting the following just tribute to the memory of the Right. Hon. J. S. Mackenzie, from the Ceylon Herald of the Ist of De cember last : If it be possible in any way to feel a pleasure con nected with an occasion so melancholy, as referring to the death of a great and good man, we feel it now, in bringing the columns of the Ceykotiierakl to join in the homage of high- regard which is universally expressed here since the melancholy news arrived of thti death of our late Governor, Mr. Stewart Mackenzie. He was taken from us when he was just beginning to feel at home in his government—just beginning to be rightly appreciated. And he is taken from the world when it might naturally have been hoped that he might have lived to spend many years, devoted, as all his have been, to the activities of Christian philanthropy. But he has died a martyr. Whether we look to the state of health in which he returned from his voluntary mission to the Veddah country, or to the trials which he has been sub sequently called upon to undergo, we equally feel war ranted in saying that he has died a martyr. While, therefore, we lament his loss, we cannot lament him. Doubtless he has made a happy change; and, we trust, it was a pleasing r eco ll ec ti on to hi m , d ur i ng his painfulillness, when he called to mind the last month he spent amongst us. It was a pleasing testimony to the authority, and ultimately persuasive power of ster ling. principle and uniform good intention, combined with liberal views, to see how enemies changed into admirers when the news arrived that he was to be re called. It was remarked that at the public dinner which was given on the evening of his departure, only one person of any note in the colony was absent. We call to mind also the parting addresses from every class and institution in the Island which greeted the last days of our late Governor here ; nor will those soon forget him who remember his affability, his intelligence, his wonderfully varied knowledge, the deep interest he took in every cause which had civilization or Chris tianity for its object, and the affection he bore to every kindred spirit. Our own more recent arrival in the Island prevented us from being among the number of those who had personal opportunities of appreciating his worth as a man, and his value as a Governor, but in the above remarks we are only saying what is already on everybody's lips ; and since such is the fact, we do not feel that it would be becoming in the Ceylon Herald to , be silent, or merely reprint. which, however, we gladly do, the remarks of our contemporary, which aro not only just, but well expressed. FACADE OF THE BRITISH MU SEUM. _ TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. St a,—The indifference which is still manifested in Eng. land, with regard to architecture (consid er ing th e wea lth, resources, and intelligence of the country), appears almost incredible. It is indeed difficult to believe that 700,0001. has been ex pended, from first to last, upon Buckingham Palace! and the more so, when we find that this sum exceeds the expense incurred in the erection of the two most beautiful modern edifices in Paris, viz., the " Madeleine" and the " Arc de l'Etoile"—the cost of the former building being 320,0001., and that of the latter 360,0001. Because 700,000/. was wasted at Pimlico, a most rigid eco nomy must needs be exercised upon the next occasion, upon which a demand was made upon the public purse for a na tional object, and the paltry sum of 70,000/. was accordingly voted for the National Gallery. What the result has been the National Gallery itself but too plainly demonstrates, for this stunted and unsightly pile staing forh, in (perhaps) the most commanding position in any capital of Europe, a striking monument of our bad taste, mid ill-judged, misplaced parsimony. After such melancholy failures, it might reasonably have been inferred that effectual measures would have been taken to prevent their recurrence ; but no, the British Museum bide fair to rival both the Palace and Gallery. A more poor, meagre, bald, and tasteless structure than that which is re. presented by the design now published and circulated, as a faithful copy of Sir Robert Smirke's intended Façade, it would be impossible to conceive. It is a mere duplicate of tho Post-office, without presenting one new or agreeable feature. Far be it from me to speak in terms of disparagement of so respectable a gentleman as Sir Robert Smirke, but the new Fspade of the British Museum is pronounced by all compe tent judges to be quite unworthy of his reputation. The Miscellaneous Estimates for the present Year will shortly be brought under the consideration of the house of Commons, when, no doubt, some explanation will be afforded as to the intentions of her Majesty ? s Government in respect to this building. The growing interest felt upon this subject must plead my excuse for requesting you to be good enough to give publi city to this letter.---I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, A FRIEgb TO THE FINE ARTS. THE INFANT ORPHAN ASYLUM.—On Thursday the friends and supporters of this establishment celebrated the anniversary of its creation by dining together at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, and partaking of the hospitality provided on the occasion by the proprietors of that well known gathering place of the benevolent and the festive. It had been announced that Lord Morpeth would take the chair, but his Lordship not being able to attend, his place was supplied by Lord Robert Grosvenor, who was supported by Sir George Carroll, Mr. B. Bond Cabbell, and many other gentlemen of rank and fortune. The company consisted of upwards of 160 persons, and the gross amount of the contri butions was about 1,500/., including 10/. from her Ma jesty, 25/. from the Noble Chairman, 25/. from Mr. B. B. Cabbell, and 251. from the Pacha of Egypt, through Mr. Waghorn. Upon the removal of the cloth " Non nobis," was sung by Messrs. G. F. Taylor, G. Rennie, R. F. Smith, and G. George ; after which the healths of the Queen, of Prince Albert, of the Prince of Wales, the Queen Dowager, and the other members of the Royal family were drunk with the accustomed honours. " The health of the Duke of Wellington and the Army " was also drunk with every demonstration of respect and enthusiasm ; after which the children nurtured and educated at the new building at Wanstead were brought into the room, and after haying sang an appropriate hymn, marshalled in procession between the tables. This was the most interesting part of the festival, and certainly, if the merit of an establishment is to be estimated by the appearance of those who are the objects of its intentions, nothing could exceed the claims of this asylum to public patronage. The children were fine specimens of what good treatment, good air, and kindness in their guardians and preceptors, could pro duce. As soon as they had retired, the Noble Chairman made a short but forcible appeal in support of the institu tion by which they were protected to the company, and the appeal, as the amount of the contributions showed, was not in vain. Several other toasts, viz., the health of the chair man, for which Lord R. Grosvenor returned thanks, of the vice-presidents, for which Sir G. Carroll returned thanks, and of the clergy, were then drank; after which the Noble Chair man retired, to be present, as he said, at a division in the House of Commons, and Mr. B. B. Cabbell took the chair. The company remained for some time after the retirement of his Lordship, and having drunk several toasts more imme diately connected with the charitable purposes of the asylum, and heard some good glees from the professionals present, separated a little before 11 o'clock. MENZIES' CALEDONIAN COSTUME ASSEMBLY.—OH Tuesday evening last this long and well-established re-unicas came off in a manner worthy of its former reputation. Many, varied, and beautiful, we re the " Garbs of old Gaul " that blendedwith picturesque effect among the elegantly.dressedand fairer portion of humanity. Mr. Adams' band played some of the most favourite quadrilles, &c., with a liberal admixture of the stirring strains of the Land o' Cakes. The reels were most capitally danced in true native style, step, and spirit, , to the mountain music of Mackay, piper to the late Duke of Sussex, who seemed to feel, with his brother of the drone and chan ter—Rab the Ranter, of " Maggie Lauder " celebrity—that, " It was worth his while to play sae weel, When he had twa sic dancers," After an elegant and ample supper, where loyalty and gal lantry forgot not the votive cup to our Liege Lady and her fireside, and the lovely partners of this night's festivity, the dance was resumed, with increased alacrity and enjoyment, until an advanced hour , in the morning. All se e med t o b e highly pleased with the: i arrangements of the Assembly, which were made by Mr. Menzies, and which he conducted with his well-known ability of tact and amiability of temper. FIVE MEN DROWNED.—On the morning of Mon day last, during the continuance of the storm, five fishermen from Clogher were lost. They had proceeded to sea on the previous evening, and were overtaken by the gale. The boat which the unfortunate men were in was found drifting about at the Nannv-water. By this melancholy occurrence, 16 children are left fatherless and unprovided for.—Drogheda Journal. THE HAIR.—Of the numerous compounds con• stantly announced for promoting the growth of, or for repro ducing the hair, few survive, even in name, beyond a very limited period; whilst " Rowland's Macassar Oil," with • reputation unparalleled, is still on the increase in public es timation. The singular virtues of this successful invention for restoring, preserving, and beautifying the human hair, are too well known and appreciated to need much comment. The very facts of the high and distinguished patronage it enjoys, its general use in all countries, together with nu merous testimonials constantly received in its favour, are au thorities which stamp its superior excellence and title over all attempts of a similar nature. Being universally preferred, its consequent great demand excites the cupidity of un principled shopkeepers, who vend the most spurious trash as the " genuine" Macassar Oil : whereas the genuine article is wholly the invention and property of A. Rowland and Son, and the amalgamation of its costly exotic materals (imported solely by them), renders abortive any attempt to discover its component parts—thus proving the imposition of all other articles bearing the title of " Macassar Oil." The genuine article has the words " Rowland's Macassar Oil" on the wrapper.—All others are fraudulent counterfeits: INIENTS. Conformably to the Law of the 11th June, 1842, the French Go vernment bave resolved on the formation of a railway from Paris to necessary to slate that, by the terms of that law, the land-will be purchased, and the earthworks, tunnels, bridges, sta tions, &c., will be executed by the Government, at their own ex pense and risk. A lease. of the line for working will be made to the Company, whose investment will be limited to the ballasting of the road, the supplying and laying down of the rails, and providing the engines, carriages, &c. The ratification of this lease, the duration of the grant, the conditions of working, and the tariff of rates will be the matter of a special law. COMPARATIVE ABSENCE OF RISK. All the advantages of railway investment will thus he secured to the Shareholders without those risks involved in the purchase of land, and errors in the estimate of cost, which have so frequently oc curred in similar undertakings iu England. The only object of consi deration will be the conditions to be obtained from the French Go vernment for the working of the line, and there are sufficient data to convince the Provisional Directors that favourable terms will be granted to the proposed company. - • RATIFICATION OF TIIE LEASE Negotiations have already been entered into for a Lease, and it will be the endeavour of the Provisional Directors to secure its immediate confirmation by the Government, which they have every reason to anticipate will be ratified by law during the present session of the French Chambers. IMPORTANCE OF THE LINE, It will be perceived that the line now proposed, from Paris to Stras burg, passing through Meaux, Chalons, and Nancy, must establish an international communication, traversing the richest and most Industrious provinces of France, and commercially uniting England, by the port of Havre and the French metropolis, with Austria, Ba varia, the manufacturing province of Alsace, Switzerland. and the Rhine ; bringing into readier and closer intercourse, not only France and Germany, but Great Britain and the whole Continent, the city of Strasburg being already the point of departure for travellers fl'om and to the Germanic Provinces, and the point to which the national railways of Germany are intended to converge. RESOURCES OF THE COUNTRY TO BE TRAVERSED—PRO- BABLE EXTENT OF TRAFFIC. No doubt can exist as to the great extent of traffic to be anticipated from the construction of this line. The report of M. Correard, an eminent civil engineer, which will be deposited at the office of the Company for reference, has been obtained, and in this it is announced that the agricultural, commercial, and manufacturing resources of the provinces bordering or within easy distance of the line, are those of fifteen of the richest provinces in France—viz., Seine, Seine et Oise, Seine et Marne, Aisne, Ardennes, Marne, Aube, Haute-Marne, Meuse, Moselle, Meurthe, Vosges, Haute-Saone, Haut-Rhin, and Bas- Rhin, abounding in forests, mines, collieries, Iron works, mills, and factories, as well as in rich vineyards, and various agricultural pro ductions. All of these provinces import much of what they consume, and have abundant surplus produce to export. The interme diate traffic on this route is considered to be greater than in any other part of France, the total annual trade being estimated at 100,000 French tons between Strasburg and Paris; while that between and among the various localites enumerated embraces double this amount. The total population is about six milliions and a quarter, and the total land revenue 320,000,000 f., or 12,800,0001., double that of the whole kingdom of Belgium. PRELIMINARY CONDITIONS OF INVESTMENT. The amount of capital intended to be raised at present is 60,000,000 f., or 2,400,0001., in nearly equal parts, in England and France. The deposit to be 50f. or 2/. ;on payment of which receipts will be granted by the respective bankers of the Company, to be exchanged for certificates of shares at the Company's Office in Lon don, when the contract shall be ratified. The remaining instalments will only be called for at intervals of not less than three calendar months, at the rate of 21. each ; the first instalment not to be called for sooner than three months after the passing of the law constituting the Company. After full payment of the amount due in respect of his shares, each Shareholder will have the option of receiving cer tificates payable to bearer.
