To effect the above purposes, it is proposed to construct a line from the Great Western Railway, from the neighbourhood of Corsharn, through Melksham (with branches to Devizes and Bradford) to Trowbrid ge an d W est b ury, whence one line passes thr ough Wa rrn i nster, and the Valley of the Wily, to Wilton and le3vil Salisbury, and the other diverges to Frome, Bruton, Castle Car e y , , Dorchester, Weymouth and Bridport. to The l ength of the di rect l i ne, from the Great Western Railway, Tile Salisbury, will b e 37 a miles; from Melksham to Devizes, seven s; from Staverton to Bradford, two miles; from the point of un ction at Westbury (which Is 15a mil es f rom Corshaes) to :'vett entr il, thirty -hen miles, and from Yeovil to W eymout h4twenty.

ABERDEEN RAILWAY.—At a public MEET ING of the Inhabitants of Montrose and of Landed Gentle men in the neighbourhood, held In the Town-hall of Montrose, on 31onday, the 18th of November, 1844, WILLIAM JAMESON, Esq., Provost, in the chair, The Chairman having stated the object of the Meeting, and various Gentlemen having expressed their views re arding the importance of the proposed line of railway from Aberdeen southward, the following resolutions were unanhnously adopted :- 1. That this Meeting are deeply impressed with the great advan tages that would arise from the town of Montrose and the adjoining landward district being united by lines of railway with the city of Aberdeen on the north, and the towns of Dundee, Arbroath, Brechin, and Forfar, on the south and west, and of thus obtaining the benefit of any lines of railway connecting these towns with other parts of the kingdom. " Mrs. Chandler, Yarmouth—per rail—left free " written outside on it. The inside of the card had the address of Copewan and Son, Norwich. As soon as Mr. Dick had taken the bag out of the hole, a man named Royal, a fish-dealer, came up, and said, according to Mr. Dick's account, " There is more in the hole—let us feel ;" and suiting the action to the word, he put his hand into the hole, and pulled out a small bag containing some gold and silver money. Mr. Dick further states that Royal said, " There ought to be a cheque too, and, feeling the bag, he said here it is." He wanted to take the money and count it. Mr. Dick insisted that nothing of the kind should be done till they took the bags to the station house. Royal then accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Dick to the station-house, and from their account, as above given, Royal was detained on suspicion, he being known to the police as the companion to a gang of thieves in the town. Some of this gang, named Jeremiah Cooper, James Hall, James Hubbard, and Samuel Layton, alias Belcher, were immediately taken into custody, and underwent a strictly private examination before the magistrates at the gaol, in front of which an unusual crowd of people had aasem bled during the day, anxious to learn the result of the inquiry, which had not transpired when this re port was sent off. Th• DIRECTORS of the BRIGHTON and CHICHESTER RAILWAY COMPANY, with the sanction of their proprietors, have caused surveys to be made, and are taking the requisite mea. sures to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session for powers to extend their line to Portsmouth (with a branch therefrom to unite with the South-Western Railway at Fareham), in order to corn. plete the coast line of railway from Brighton to Portsmouth, which, with a railway now making from Brighten to Hastings, and a conti nuation thereof, projected from thence to unite with the South. Eastern Railway at or near Aahferd, will complete a line of coast railway from Dover to Portsmouth. The distance from Chichester to Portsmouth is about sixteen miles, and the branch to Fareham about seven miles, making toge ther twenty-three miles; the country is well adapted, and offers no engineering difficulties, to the formation of a railway ; and the proposed extension was always looked to by the promoters of the Brighton and Chichester Railway as an object to be carried out by them, as they foresaw that they must, in going to Chichester, sur mount the chief difficulties in forming a coast line by crossing the two navigable tidal rivers the Adur and the Arun.

That as the projected line of railvray from Aberdeen southward passing along the coast, with a branch from Dubton to the Wet Dock or Harbour of Montrose, besides affording every prospect of a profitable return, accomplishes these imp scant objects, this Meeting do cordially approve thereof, and resolve to support the same, and to strengthen the hands of the promoters by every available means. 3. That this Meeting do respectfully and earnestly recommend to the Magistrates and Town Council of Montrose, as representing the community, to countenance and support the projected line of railway, and to afford every facility for its construction, and further to request Joseph Hume, Esq., M.P. for the Burghs, to support the measure in Parliament as one of vital importance to the commercial and agri cultural interests of the district. 4. That a Committee of this Meeting, consisting of the following gentlemen, viz., the movers and:seconders of the various resolutions, with the addition of Messrs. Patrick Mason, It. Hunter, banker, and J. M. Paton and C. 11. Millar, merchants, and Adam Burnes, writer, be named, to co-operate with the Town Council of Montrose, or any Committee of their number, in watching over the progress of the measure.

One of the leading characteristics of the Society is, the liberal, punctual, and simple manner in which the claims are settled, combined with the very great care bestowed by the Directors (with the advice and assistance of the medical officers) in the selection of lives. Instead of affording every facility to parties to join the Society, and afterwards throwing all manner of unnecessary obstacles in the way of settlement when the claim emerges, the Directors proceed upon the opposite principle of being most eau tious and particular in their inquiries before admitting them mem. hers to the benefits of the Society; but after being admitted they are entitled to all the advantages which the Society affords to each class of insured respectively, and when the claim emerges, no un due delay takes place, and no difficulties which can be avoided are interposed to prevent an easy and expeditious settlement.

JOHN MACKENZIE, Manager. OFFICE IN LONDON, 7, PALL-MALL The Directors of the Brighton and Chichester Railway Com. pany have well considered the various projects for the formation of railways to Portsmouth, by routes between the London and Brighton and the South-Western Railways; and they feel con vinced that, whichever line may be sanctioned by Parliament, the extension of the Chichester line to Portsmouth and Fareham can not fail to protect the interest of the Proprietors of the Brighton and Chichester line. 4,Z IR W.

The execution of the works, with a double line of rails, in cluding Parliamentary and all other expenses, will cost 280,0004 according to an estimate made by Mr. Itastricks, the engineer of the Company, It was then resolved to publish these resolutions in the North British Advertiser and Montrose newspapers, and the thanks of the Meeting having been unanimously voted to Provost Jameson for his conduct in the chair, the meeting separated. On Tuesday, at twelve o'clock, an inquest was held before Mr. A. Woods, deputy coroner for the borough, on view of the body. A respectable jury had been summoned, consisting of eighteen persons. After viewing the body, which presented a frightful spec tacle, they re-assembled at the police court at the Town-hall, and continued their inquiry for six hours. Seven witnesses were examined, who deposed to the facts above stated, and the jury, after a short delibe ration, returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." WM. JAMESON, Provost. It is intended to take powers in the Act to let on lease or sell the Extension Line, when made, either to the London and Brighton Railway Company, to the South-Western Railway Company, or to any other Company or party, should any such arrangement be deemed advantageous to the Shareholders. The Directors have great satisfaction in stating, that they have received from the inhabitants of Portsmouth strong assurances of their approbation of the proposed extension being made by the Brighton and Chichester Company, which was communicated to them by the resolutions of a public meeting, held at Portsmouth, upon the requisition of nearly 3,000 persons. The opening of an extended coast line, taking over it, as this line must do, the great proportion of the traffic from London to Portsmouth, will ensure such an extensive revenue that a return must be produced sufficient to pay a very satisfactory interest upon the capital subscribed. The Directors have submitted their views, es regards the pro. posed extension, to the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade, and fully expect that the strength and justice of their case will ensure a favourable report from their Lordships, the ap proval of the Government and the public, and the sanction of Par. liament.

On Tuesday last a meeting of the county of Edin burgh took place, when the following report of a committee appointed to consider the question of the currency was brought up : " The Committee having considered this important subject in all its bearings, and having modified, and in some respects altered the proposed resolutions, report their opinion that the resolutions, as now modified and altered, should be approved of. " The Committee have not failed to consider the mea sure enacted during the last session of Parliament, by which no new bank of issue can be established, of which measure they highly approve. " And they would impress on the county to give a favourable consideration to every measure that may be proposed for improving the monetary business of the country by increased security to the public. and adding to the safety of all the parties concerned, if such be re quired. " But considering that the banking system which has been so long pursued in Scotland by the issue of small notes, the granting of cash credits, and the weekly ex changes by the banks of all the notes in circulation, has been most beneficial and satisfactory to all classes with out risk or loss to any—has tended very greatly to the prosperity and improvement of the country—is now in creasing these in a most extraordinary degree, and from its duration and efficiency, is interwoven with the habits and transactions of the people, the Committee are of opinion that a change of that system is quite uncalled for, and would infallibly produce most injurious conse quences," Sir JAMES Grissom CRAIG then moved a series of resolutions highly approving of the Scotch system of banking, and condemning any alteration in that system. Lord MELVILLE said he was sorry to state that he was in a predicament that he could not concur in the whole of the report. There were, he admitted, many points in which he agreed with the report. In com mon with the rest of the country, he agreed, for in stance, in all that was said about the stability and success of the system of banking in Scotland, and its great utility to the country. Therefore, upon this point he had not one word to say in opposition to the resolutions. He had difficulties, however, not only as to other statements in the resolutions, but also as to what they omitted. With respect, in the first place, as to what was said about the abolition of the one pound notes, he was not in the secrets of Govern ment, but he had no hesitation in saying that he did not believe they intended to meddle with that subject ; ft all events, he did not think that measure called for. It was a system which the people were accustomed with in this country. Gold might be more solid and praorable on the whole, but so long as the people preferred this system themselves, he thought that Parliament would do very wrong to compel the abo lition of one pound notes. He also demurred to the statements that the system of cash credits depended upon the issue of one pound notes, and that their abo lition would form an impediment to the system of al lowing interest on deposits. On the latter point he referred to the operations of the joint-stock banks in England. But, as he had said, he also objected to the omissions in the resolutions—for there were omis sions—and one of them. a very material one, which pervaded every set of resolutions he had seen all over Scotland. The commissioners of supply, town coun cils, chambers of commerce—not one of them touched one most important point in this matter. It was stated, and stated very truly, that the currency of Scotland was about three millions of bank notes, two thirds of which were small notes. Now, the gold circulation of England was stated to be about 23,000,0001., which he took to be exclusive of what was in the bank ; but including that, the gold circu lation of England might fairly be stated at about 30,000,0001. Now, although it was not stated in the resolutions before this meeting, statements had been made elsewhere which would lead to the conclusion that notes ought not to be convertible. Again, there were others who contended, that although notes ought to be convertible, still, provided each bank has a total deposit to answer any demand upon it, this is quite equal to a gold circulation in this country. In reply to this, he would remind gentlemen of some very , dangerous periods that had been encountered in Eng land, when there was a drain upon the circulation of the country—a drain upon the Bank of England, which left it almost empty. Such drains had occurred, and might occur again. We may have drains from short harvests—we may have drains from fo reign speculations, no matter whether wise or unwise —people come demanding money, and they will have it. We may have drains from foreign wars and sub sidies, and from various causes, but the greatest danger is from short harvests. It was the duty of a wise Government, then, to see that the circulation of this kingdom was in such a state, that when any emer gency shall occur, we shall be abir - to supply the de ficiency caused by the outpouring of the coin of the kingdom. He wished to know what Scotland was to do in such a case ? Could she furnish her quota ? The population of Scotland was es ti ma t e d at one sixth of the population of England; but suppose we had to send six millions of sovereigns abroad to pur chase corn to keep the people from starving, would Scotland be able to furnish her proportion of that sum ? Then who would ? Not Scotland, but the Bank of England and the people of England. It was said that if we had to keep up a gold circulation it would occasion an additional expense, which expense would fall on the banks and ultimately on the coun try. This was quite true, this was an important admission, but if it did not fall upon the people of Scotland it must fall somewhere—it must fall upon the people of England. Now this might be all very well so long as the people of England submitted to it. But suppose it otherwise, and suppose the people of this country starving for want of corn, where was the money to come from which Scotland ought to contri bute to purchase corn from abroad ? Was it fair to ask England to bear this burden for us ? As a native of North Britain he did not complain of this state of things, but he did not at all wonder that the British Legislature and the Bank of England should feel a little sore about it. Then came another point for consideration—what should be the remedy for this ? He repeated that he did not like the idea of abolish ing the one pound notes, but he thought another remedy might be found. He should be sorry to see the abolition of one pound notes, because that would be adverse to the feelings of the people, who con sidered it more convenient to have small notes instead of gold, because, if otherwise, they would require a gold circulation of two millions, in addition to any little stock in their coffers to carry them on from time to time. Now, whether Government could de vise any measure to provide for this contingency was more than he could tell, but we should see. It would certainly be the duty of Government so to arrange matters, if possible ; but it was idle for that meeting to talk of what measures might be in contemplation. Lord Rom:l3Ear said he must acknowledge that on no public question that had ever come before him had he had less hesitation in arriving at a decision than on this. He wished, however, to guard himself by an explanation as to the grounds and reasons upon which that decision was founded. He entirely approved of the general substance of the resolu tions and report which had been presented to the meet ing; but he did not altogether agree with some of the details and arguments employed in thew documents. But before stating the grounds upon which his deci- JOHNSON'S PATENT BEDSTEAD.—The Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, are invited to inspect the PORTABLE IRON FOLDING-HINGED BEDSTEADS, which may be used with or without mattress or bolster, and converted into a sofa in a few moments.

Ilyam," said one, without question or doubt, " Is firmly establish'd all England throughout ; For at Birmingham, Liverpool, London, and Leeds, I hear that his system bravely succeeds; Whilst Manchester, Bristol, and Glasgow likewise, Are daily the scenes of his mighty supplies!" "'Tie strange," said the other, "and hard to believe, What efforts like his can attempt to achieve; And the mind' that can wield such a mighty design, Is worthy the favours the public assign! Why the men he employs in his vast occupation, To Ten Thousand amount at a fair cetimation! And full Sixty Thousand depend for support On these popular places of fame and resort !" The fact is established beyond contradiction, And must bring to all a most certain conviction, That Ilyam derives every chance that arises, And proves he can sell at one-half the trade prices ! 5,000 Waterproof Wrappers, of the most fashionable materials, rum Os.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] SIR JAMES GRAHAM'S MEDICAL REFORM BILL and the DOCTORS. There cannot be a stronger proof of the fallacy of the system pursued by doctors, viz., the Organic Theory, and that they know it, than their present op position to the Bill introduced by the worthy Ne therby Baronet. Let us for one moment consider the nature of the opposition. It is this, that Sir James has not put a stop to the sale of patent medicines, which doctors are pleased to style the sanctioning of quackery. By the Bill, doctors have got, we main tain, all the protection they are entitled to, and which would be quite sufficient for them were they not fol lowing a false theory. It is made a misdemeanor by Sir James Graham's Bill to pretend to be a doctor or on the register, which is just and fair enough, for no man should represent himself to be that which he is not, and if he does he should, as provided by the Bill, be subject to criminal punishment. But are doctors satisfied with this ? No, no ; they know that any man who can be such an impostor as to represent himself falsely stands but little chance of success. However, they are protected on this point by the Bill, but they say that it is of no use to them ! What they wish is, to put down those who differ from them in theory ! I who prove their theory (the Organic) to be false by a successful practice ; who boldly stand forward in their true colours ; who clearly draw a barrier, so that there can be no mistake in the parti cular class; those we say are the persons which doc tors wish to put down, and which Sir James Graham has very justly omitted to provide for by his Bill. Sir James has very naturally said to the doctors— " What more can you require, if you are right, than that I should prevent men, who have not diplomas, from representing:themselves as doctors to the world?" Why, the thing speaks for itself, and Sir James Graham must see through the whole concern with half an eye. Now let us for one moment apply the foregoing observations to the now numerous body of Hygeists, who for the last twenty years have been showing the errors and fallacy of the Organic Theory of the doctors. Do they represent themselves as doctors ? Can there be any mistake made by the public ? In the first place, all the statements of Hyg►eists expressly deny the truth of doctors' treatment, from beginning to end, in the most clear and unmistaken terms ; and in the next, the Ilygeian Medicine is not sold at the poison shops of the chemists and druggists, but at greengrocers, shoemakers, stationers, &c., &c. Yes ! and we take a pride in acknowledging the fact. Mo rison's Pills are not, we say, to be had at the poison shops of the doctors, where numberless rank poisons are kept, in order to make a regular trade of the mi series of the human race. The honest and unassum ing 'persons who deal in Morison's Pills have but a simple story to tell; they know that they themselves have been reinstated in their health, and also that so and so was at death's door under doctors' treatment, and that he was, as it were, brought to life by the llygeian Medicines. But how is it with your chemist and druggist and his different coloured bottles in his window, which well accord with the mist and con fusion into which doctors have, for profit, clouded the true science of health ? Why, all is contradiction, confusion, and mystery. The people are, in short, according to doctors, to be kept in the most profound ignorance as to what is to keep their bodies in health ; that is the long and short of the business ; and such being our opinion, we fervently hope that Sir James Graham will proceed with his Bill, and at once, and for ever, establish that which every free-born Eng lishman is entitled to, viz., the Medical Liberty of the Subject; and if he does, his name will be handed down to posterity as a great benefactor to mankind. In short, his fame would be imperishable, considering the bonds of mystery, confusion, and death, which he would have broken asunder. Issued by Morison and Co., of the British College of Health, New-road, London, for and on behalf of the body of Ifygeists. MURDER AT YARMOUTH. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The body was left in the same position as it was found till twelve o'clock at noon on Tuesday, to be viewed by the coroner's jury. In order to effect a discovery of the perpetrators all the police-constables of the town were sent out to search the inmates of the vagrant houses and brothels. Several parties were apprehended on suspicion. From inquiries made, it ap peared that Mrs. Chandler had received 501. in the week before and 1501. on the previous Saturday, the money consisting of a cheque for 1001., payable at Messrs. Gurney's bank, and five 10/. notes. This money had been paid to her by a relation named Mrs. Swan, a resident of Yarmouth. Another relation had sold an estate, and the produce had been divided among rela tives, 2001. coming to Mrs. Chandler's share. It was supposed that this fact being known to some parties had led to the commission of the murder, as no money was found in the house, but subsequently Mr. Balls, the Mayor's officer, on searching Mrs. Chandler's apartments found the cheque for 100/. and five 10/. notes in a chest of drawers in her bed-room. For some reason, it appeared that deceased only a few days pre vious had told certain parties that she had placed her money under the bed for security. During the in vestigation before the coroner, a man named John Dick, gunner at the town battery, brought a bag of money to the station-house, which his wife had found buried in the sand on the Denes, near the battery. She had been out with a basket of linen, and on her return home she saw several holes partly dug in the sand, and another hole with finger marks andimpres sions of footsteps near it. She dug up the hole, and seeing a bag she shrieked out. Her husband hearing a noise came to the spot and pulled the bag out of the hole. It was a large i bag, and contained a consider able sum of money n copper, besides a small bag inside containing silver and gold. There was a card direction fastened outside of the larger bag, with _ .: G. ~'/ scOri was taken, he wished fot it single — iiiOment to advert to the opinion, and the conclusion derived from that opinion, which had fallen from Lord Melville. His Noble Friend had stated, with that candour which always accompanied everything which falls from him, that, in his judgment, the suppression of one pound notes in the currency of Scotland would not be expe dient, and that it would be undesirable in Govern ment or Parliament to entertain such a question ; but he proceeded to dwell at some length upon an im portant reason—indeed, upon the only great reason against the resolutions—that it would be just and necessary for Scotland to have always an amount of coin, which he estimated at not less than 2,000,0001., in order to furnish the just proportion to the neces sities of the country in certain contingencies, when there would be a drain on the bullion, which would be called for from the kingdom generally. He (Lord Rosebery) would only observe upon this, which he was not prepared at present to prove, but . what he held to be an opinion not controvertible by his Noble Friend, that, in sanctioning these two opinions, he must contradict himself, for he (Lord Rosebery) held it as an axiom almost, which former experience had in a manner proved to demonstration, that if a one pound note currency was established in this country, it was impossible that an amount of bullion equiva lent to the sum referred to could co-exist. The Noble Lord then proceeded to state the grounds upon which he should give his support to the resolutions and re port. He considered the question before the county at present, and which agitated the whole of Scotland from one end to the other, was a practical question entirely, viz., whether the present circulation was suited to the habits and wants of the people, and whether it was attended with any injustice, or accompanied with any danger to the country. When, therefore, he saw that this country for a long number of years, had attained a prosperity which she had reached under great natural disadvantages—when he saw that this was attributed, almost without contradiction, to the system of banking in Scotland, and that there was one inherent point in that system which had been adhered to with great pertinacity by all classes of the population, viz., the system of a one pound currency —when he saw that no danger was alleged against it, except that alluded to by his Noble Friend (Lord Melville), and when he saw that it was the great in strument by which the transactions and enterprise of the country had been long carried on, he must say he would deprecate the attempt to shake or disturb 1 system such as this, with all the beneficial conse quences which undoubtedly had attended it for the last 140 years.—(Hear, hear.) To do so, in his opi nion, would be to lead to consequences of a most mischievous nature —to apprehension, perhaps to panic, to uncertainty, to want of confidence through out the country, and probably to unseen consequences which it would be impossible to predict the amount of—(Hear, hear)—and which, if they did occur, it would be impossible to arrest or control. Uni formity, he admitted, was an excellent thing in a country, if established without counteracting effects producing evil greater than the benefits arising from it. In point of fact, instead of any mischief arising f'rorn the one pound note currency, or the state of the banks, on the very contrary, the confi dence and security derived from them had of late years very much increased, and that in consequence of many wise regulations on the part of the banks themselves. The Legislature, by their enactments for several years past, and Mill more by the Act of the last session of Parlia ment, had insured in England such a vast basis of metallic currency, that it was sufficient for the wants of the whole kingdom. It should be recollected, too, that in that part of the empire the < people had been long accustomed to a metallic currency—never hav ing had a paper currency lower than 51., except from 1797 to the conclusion of the war. That country was therefore accustomed to that mode of circulation, to which, by its superior wealth and other reasons, it was decidedly adapted. Having secured, then, this large basis of metallic currency, which was sufficient for the wants of the whole kingdom, combined with the provisions made last year, and extended to Scot land, preventing the establishment of further banks with respect to a paper currency, he held that every mhing in the shape of security had been obtained, and 'hat to tamper with the currency upon its original principles was highly dangerous in these times, until practical evil was adduced and a practical remedy' Lord DUNFERMLINE said he appeared there that lay to take a part in their proceedings, because it might be thought he was shrinking from his duty, if he failed upon an occasion when the opinions he en tertained appeared unpopular in Scotland to stand forward and re -assert them. The principles which he was now about to explain were those upon which he had uniformly acted, and to which he now adhered with increased confidence. It was impossible for him concur in the resolutions now brought forward; ind if the meeting would permit him, he would also, while he stated the reasons which pre , vented him fro m concurr i ng, state t h e groun d s ' upon which he very seriously doubted the prudence er the policy of the course which it was pro posed to pursue, 'and which had been pursued by so -many of the counties of Scotland. Now, just let us come (said his Lordship) to the real pith and sub stance of this question about the issue of one pound motes ; and let us see what is Sir Robert Peel's posi tion in regard t o th e ques ti on . Y ou are all aware that in 1826 it was found necessary, on the principle chat a one pound note and a sovereign cannot co exist, to put an en d t o sma l l notes in England. Scotland at that time made a vigorous resistance to the attempt to apply the same measure there, and a great shout was raised against it by the people of this country, and they at length succeeded. A Par liamentary Committee was appointed, the Committee met and heard certain evidence, and came to a cer tain conclusion, and that conclusion was ultimately sanctioned by Government. With regard to that Committee I shall not say one word, except that those gentlemen had a good deal to say for themselves ho said that if England had been allowed to pro duce her case as Scotland had produced hers, and examined witnesses, the Committee would have come to the same conclusion with regard to England as they had done with regard to Scotland ; and that, in point of fact, small notes would not have been suppressed in England. Well, it appears from what was stated to the Committee, that they came to the conclusion that small notes should not be sup pressed in Scotland. Now, what was the course which Sir Robert Peel took, from whom you appre hend so much danger ? He said—" I agree upon general reasons that small n o t es oug ht t o b e sup pressedin Scotland as well as in England ; but I am willing to make another experiment, to ascertain how liar it is safe, practically, to allow the issue of small notes in Scotland, having suppressed them in Eng land." That is the position in which Sir Robert Peel now stands. I should say, in fairness, however, that I did not concur with Sir Robert Peel in that opinion. I did not think it enough to say that general reasons required small notes suppressed in Scotland as well as in England. I thought there was more: than general reasoning in it, and that was the two important ingredients of good faith and jus tice. I thought so, because, being a member of the Bullion Committee of 1810, and of the second Committee of 1818, I concurred in a measure for the resumption of cash payments in England, being quite aware at the time that taking so strong a mea sure was the only means of extricating the country from the extensive embarrassments occasioned by the orders in council in 1797. I knew that this could not be done without inflicting a severe pressure upon the whole of the country; but I felt bound in the fair, and just, and honourable performance of my duty, to lay the burden upon all parts of the country equally. But when Parliament decided not to do so, I felt personally very glad that Scotland was b receive so great a boon from England, and recd el never to open my mouth on the subject again, unless I should feel myself compelled by a sense of duty to do so. I had thought, however, till this moment, that it was decorous and prudent, on the part of the people of Scotland, to hold their peace, and enjoy the boon in quietness, because that it is a great boon it is impossible to deny. For what is it ? The Legisla ture were of opinion, and justly of opinion, that in order to maintain a proper standard of value, there should be a metallic currency, although this could not be imposed without throwing a great burden some where ; and until this present time the whole of. the burden has been thrown upon the people of England. They pay every shilling of the expense of maintaining a metallic currency, while Scotland benefits by the e stability of this standard, maintained at the exclusive cost of England. That is the plain, naked truth. Well, but Sir Robert Peel said he would abide by the result of his experiment. Now, what has been the result ? Has the currency been excessive during the eighteen years that have elapsed ? I have had no opportunity of inquiring, and do not know the fact, but, if it had been so, the excess would speedily be detected in the transaction of your ordinary business. Go to Sir Robert Peel then, and tell him that the experiment has been in favour of Scotland—that the system had stood the test which he himself selected, and that there is no ground to interfere with the system. Therefore, so far from concurring in the opinion that there is any cause of danger to the people of Scotland from Sir Robert Peel, in point of fact and of consistency, Sir Robert Peel is of all persons in the world most bound by the r esu lt o f th i s experi ment. But this is not the whole case ; because he is not the only person of w h om you have cause to be afraid. Are you not afraid that in stirring this question the people of England may ask what do these proceedings indicate? Do they in dicate fear or strength? And in looking for an answer to this question, are you not afraid that they may find out that the whole of the expense of the metallic currency is borne by England, while Scot land equally shares in the benefit, and may demand the suppression of your small notes as well as theirs ? For myself, I have been strongly impressed with the ABERDEEN RAILWAY COMPANY.—The ALLOTMEMT of the STOCK of this Company has now been COMPLETED, and the Committee are sorry to find that many re spectable parties who applied for shares have been disappointed, in consequence of the applications having far exceeded the capital of the Company. Those applicants who have received no answer to their letters will accordingly be so good as accept of this as a reason for their not doing so; and to those who have received allotment letters, the Committee have the pleasure of intimating that the scrip will be ready for delivery at the Company's office, 2, Moorgate-street, on Monday first.
