Parliament oct of the prosed line (for which application will be made in the ennuing session) is to supple an important link in a communication connecting the town of Great Yarmouth and the Eastern Coast of the kingdom with the Western, Midland, and Northern districts, accommodating in its progress the city of Nor , !rich, the t iwn of King's Lynn, Sutton Bridge, and the towns of L ang Sutton liolbeach, Spalding, Boston, Spilsby, by Louth, and ~,C om mencing at the proposed terminus of the Lynn, Dereham, and Norwich Railway at Lynn, the line will proceed by Sutton Bridge • a nd the towns of Long Sutton and Holbeach to Boston, there con uecting itself with the Boston Branch of the Cambridge ant Lincoln .`,Te, which th a t C om p an y have, in pursuance of a pledge given to we Board of Trade, agreed to carry into effect : thence it will pro ceed through Boston, Spilsby, and Louth to Grimsby. • The Board of Trade having reported in favour of the Newark and i l le ttleld line, that Company have announced their intention to ex _nd their proj ec t f rom Newark to a junction at Sleaford with the • C ambridge and Lincoln line. It 1s also intended to extend the proposed line of railway from Hol ' to Spalding, there to form a junction with the Spalding and starnford Branch of the Cambridge and Lincoln line, which that Co mpany have also pledged themselves to the Board of Trade to c arry into effect. It cannot fail to be observed that the projected lines will together for m the most direct, complete, and continuous communication bet ween the eastern, western, midland, and northern districts of the ~dom, will bring the important markets of Norwich and Man `utster nearer to each other by fifty miles than by any other line of railway; and besides giving communication to the ports of Grimsby', i Zt Oll , King's Lynn, Spalding, and Sutton Bridge, with the interior t he country, and with each other, will affor t the greatest amount • Of I nnal accommodation to the intermediate districts ;in addition to W hich, these town s and districts will be placed on a through line to , metropolis, by their connex•on with the Lynn and Ely and the Nor thern and Eastern Railways. Frome, a survey recently made by Mr. Fulton of that portion of the • horn Lynn to Boston, It appears there is no tunnelling, cutting, i r e embanking, of any importance necessary, and that the line will the p r actically a dead level. Under these circumstances, and from et'Znyeettgation that has been made of the other portion of the line, e i contldently estimated that the proposed capital will be amply .., e lent for the construction of the necessary works and every con -7 cent expense, and the income derivable from the great traffic which ;l t necessarily arise, not only from the transit of passengers, but ictit the transport of fish, as well as of corn, cattle, and other pro dace of the gr ea t agr i cu lt ura l district through which the lines pass to the _P r inelpal food-consuming districts, and of coals, lime, and staple ,fl ir n odities for the inland districts, will afford an ample return for It PL'oPosed outlay of capita'. tet e ,I.ProPosed to apply for the usual power to allow interest at the c u t 4 1. per cent. per annum upon tke paid-up capital from the 2, cf each payment until the completion of the railway. large proportion of the capital being already secured, it has 1.71 i determined to limit the period for receiving applications for the 4 1 ai ning Shares to the 21st instant, until which date applications 4 be received by the Solicitors and Parliamentary Agents, or by y ~e lnul ermentioned Brokers :—Messrs.

The Caledonian Railway has been recommended by the Board of Trade as the best trunk communication through Scotland, and may confiden ly be expected to receive the sanction of Parliament in the present session. The proposed Extensions are as follows—first, from a point on the Caledonian Railway, near Lanark, eastward, along the valley of the Tweed, by Peebles, Galashiels, and Melrose, to Kelso, where it has been arranged with Mr. Hudson that a joint station will be formed with the Newcastle and Berwick Company; and secondly, west ward, by Muirkirk to Ayr and Kilmarnock. A direct communication, northwards and southwards, by means of the trunk line, will thus be secured to those important districts, the expediency of which has been pointed out by the Board of Trade, for the full development of the Caledonian system. Numerous and influential meetings have been already held in those important districts, loudly calling for railway accommodation, and offering every facility and support. The Extension to the east will accommodate the richest agricul tural districts in Scotland with timber, slate, coal, lime, and other minerals, in all which articles they arc in themselves wholly desti tute ; while the Western Extension of the Caledonian, as well as the trunk line, intersect tracts of country remarkable for their mineral resources, but requiring a supply of agricultural produce ftom the east, for the immense population engaged in manufactures and mines. When Mr. Telford made a survey of a line from Glasgow to Kelso and Berwick, in 1810, being the first projected railway in Scot land, he reported that "it night be easily and cheaply made," and that " no districts can be better calculated for an interchange of pro duce, and for promoting each other's prosperity." He further rer,arks that " The whole distance from Berwick to the water summit being 77% miles, and the total rise 753 feet (which Is considerably higher than the summit now proposed to be passed over), the average inclination is under 10 feet iu a mile, or 1 in 528. " Inclinations so very easy over such extensive districts of country will enable the intercourse by means of railway to be carried on in both directions at a comparatively small expense, and it whl appear still more perfect when it is considered that the heavy articles of coal and lime are all to be passed downwards." The Western Extension will form the shortest and most direct communication from Edinburgh to Kilmarnock and the seaport towns of Ayr and Troon, and thence to Ireland. The Glasgow, Dumfries and Carlisle scheme, which has been re ported against by the Board of Trade, proposed partially to open up the resources of Ayrshire, but afforded no access from thence to Lanark and Edinburgh, or to Kelso, and Berwick, whilst the Cale donian Extension Railway, in fulfilment of the anticipations of the Board of Trade, will accomplish all these objects, and at the same time afford an equally good route southwards.

HARVEY, of Bath, formerly Sur.. geon in the East India Company's Service, recommends to the Public his Family Pills. The great benefits resulting from an efficacious household medicine must be manifest to all. This medicine is not put forward as a cure for every complaint, but in those cases of sudden and temporary ill ness so frequen•ly occurring in families, it will be found of singular service, as its operation is extremely mild, as well as effectual. The large and steadily Increasing sale of these Pills, princi pally from the recommendations of those who have expe rienced their salutary qualities, is the best proof of their ex cellence. A few doses will convince those suffering from Indi gestion, from whatever cause arising, that their effects are perma nent. They remove obstructions of the bowels ; act upon the kid neys, stimulating the absorbents to carry off those fluids which might otherwise terminate in Dropsy. They bye teen found of infinite service, both in England and during Dr. Harvey's practice in the East Indies, in preventing and caring the Jaundice • in passing part i cu larly beneficial both before an d after their off Gall Stones and restoring a health y action to the Liver.

(M.P. for St. Andrews, &c.) — It was moved by the Earl of Eglintoun, seconded by Mr. Fox Maule, and unanimously resolved— " 1. That this meeting consider that experience has proved that the present system of banking in Scotland is eminently suited to the wants, and has adapted itself to the habits and internal affairs, of every class of the people of that country ; that the rapid increase of their wealth and prosperity is mainly attributable to it, and that on its continuance they greatly depend. "2. That this meeting view with anxiety and alarm every proposal to disturb a system of banking which, during the ! long period of its existence, has been productive of the most beneficial effects, and against which no well-founded com plaint has been made; and they solemnly protest against and earnestly deprecate any change which may affect its prin ciple or injure its operation. "3. That a deputation, consisting of the Duke of Hamil ton, the Duke of Montrose, the Marquis of Breadalbane, the Earl of Eglintoun, the Earl of Rosebery, the Earl of Mans field, the Right Hon. Fox Maule, Sir Hugh Campbell, Bart.; Mr. Home Drummond, Mr. Oswald, Mr. David Dundas, and Mr. Lockhart, be appointed to convey in person these reso lutions to Sir R. Peel." To the above resolutions the following representatives of Scotland in the House of Commons have adhered :—Lord J. F. Halyburton (M,P. for Forfarshire), Mr. H. Baillle (M.P. for Inverness-shire), the Hon. E. Bouverie (M.P. for Kilmarnock, ice,), Mr. G. Traill (M.P. for Caithness-shire), Sir T. B. Hepburn (M.P. for Haddingtonshire), Mr. T. Mac kenzie (M.P.for Ross and Cromartie). On Wednesday morning, between twelve and one o'clock, a fire was discovered raging in one of the upper apartments of Lane's Hotel, St. Alban's-place, Regent street, which is chiefly occupied by single gentlemen. For tunately, the timely discovery made by one of the gentle men lodging in the establishment saved the premises, which are very extensive, from total destruction. The County Fire-office engine, under the direction of Mr. Garwood, was promptly on the spot, and succeeded in confining the flames to one roem, the greater part of the furniture in which was destroyed. The cause of the fire cannot be satisfactorily ascertained. We believe Mr. Lane is insured. THE PRISONER HOOKER.--Since Monday the pri soner has been busily engaged in writing, though the nature of the subject has not transpired. No change has taken place in his manner, if we except a restless dui' e to learn the opinion of the public as to his defence. Since Monday numerous applications have been made to the officials for per- mission to see the prisoner, amongst which might be men tioned the names of several persons of distinction. In every instance they have been refused. All sorts of means have been adopted by the applicants, and the turnkeys posi tively state they do not remember so many inquiries since the trial of Oxford. The prisoner, upon being visited upon the last occasion by his friends, exhibited a greater degree of reserve than he has ever done since his imprisonment, and there was anything but that cordiality which has hitherto marked his conduct towards them. In the course of yesterday he was visited by the Rev. Mr. Davis, of whose kindness he speaks very strongly to the persons appointed to watch him. MARINE SOClETY.—Wednesday, according to an nual custom, the boys belonging to this institution, 72 in number, including their boatswain and mates were regaled with a good substantial dinner, at the Society's office, in Bishopsgate-street ; after which they proceeded on their usual perambulation, accompanied by the officers of the establishment, displaying their banners, and the drumniers and fifers of the school enlivening them with merry tuns. After visiting the India House, Royal Exchange, Somerset House, Buckingham Palace, and the Admiralty, at each of which they gave three hearty cheers, they returned to the Society's office, when they were again furnished with a sub stantial repast. TIDE DEAL BOATMEN.—Another dreadful wreck on the Goodwin Sands, which, but for the meritorious and intre pid conduct of the Deal boatmen, must have been attended with loss of life, occurred on Sunday last. About noon on that .day, while blowing a strong gale from south-west, with thick weather and rain, a schooner was observed to strike upon the outer part of the sand. The Deal men immediately launched to her assistance, and succeeded, after great exertion and re gardless of their own risk, in getting alongside. She proved to be the Facility, of Salcombe, Richard Way master, from Shields, laden with coals, and with a crew of six hands. The vessel was then striking heavily, the sea breaking over her, and it was doubtful if she could hold together long ; they however, boarded her, and tried every means that courage and experience could suggest to get her ofl;but at this moment the chain parted, the water being up to the cabin floor, and they, seeing that the lives of all were in imminent danger, at great risk again suc ceeded in getting their boat alongside, and providentially saving the crew, for in less than five minutes after they had left the vessel she capsized and went down. The crew were brought on shore, and by the kindness of Mr. Hammond, the agent for shipping, were supplied with necessaries, and for warded to their homes; but the Deal men, who, at the risk of their lives, saved those of their poor fellow-creatures, re ceive no other recompense than what the consciousness of having done a humane and meritorious action naturally im parts; fur, unfortunately, there exists no fund out of which they can be compensated; and it often happens, as in this case, that they who have perilled their own lives to save others, go altogether unrewarded, unless the benevolence of the humane and affluent is appealed to in their behalf. DARING BURGLARY AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT COSSINGTON, NEAR LEICESTER.—Between four and five o'clock on Wednesday morning last information was received at the County Police-office, Leicester, that the house of the Rev. J. Babington, of Cossington, about a mile and a half from the Sileby station of the Midland Counties Railway, had been broken open a few hours previously, and property exceeding the value of 1,200/. had been stolen. It appears that Tuesday, the day preceding the robbery, was the usual day for Mr..Babington to receive his rents, and also those of some property for which he is trustee ; and that Mr. Wool ley, his steward, had been transacting business with the tenants during the day, and had retired to bed at the same time as Mr. Babington and his family, taking the cash-box containing the money he had received with him to his bed-room. A little before two o'clock on Wednesday morning Mrs. Babington was alarmed by hearing a noise, as if an attempt was being made to break open the house. door, and in a few minutes afterwards the whole family were startled by a tremendous crash, the thieves being unable, it seems, to force the door, having procured a ladder from an adjoining out-house, and dashed in the first window of the staircase, breaking several large tree-pots, which stood in the window, with the ladder. Mr. Babington, on hearing the crash, ran down stairs, armed with a bludgeon, and on arriving at the top of the first flight of stairs, found five men, disguised, with their faces blackened, and who had just entered by the window. Believing that. from their numbers, resistance would be useless, Mr. Babington went into his study, and locked himself in. The robbers then entered Mrs. I.labiegton's bed-room, and asked for the keys, saying they had come for the rent." Mrs. Babington told them she had not got it, upon which, after taking a gold watch from under her pillow, they proceeded to the study, and burst open the door, shattering the door and door-posts to pieces. Being again disappointed of obtaining the money, they went to Mr. Woolley's bed-room, where they found the cash-box, and after locking the doors, and fastening Mr. Babington and his servant together in one room, they proceeded to ransack the house, breaking open the drawers and cupboards in every room, including even those of the servants. No injury was done to any of the family, with the exception of Mr. Babington, who was struck on the arm by one of the robbers, whilst en deavouring to prevent his opening a drawer in the study. The following is the:property already ascertained to be stolen, namely, 8561. in cash and notes, as follow :—One Bank of England note for 1001., another for 50/., both of which were drawn from one of the Leicester banks on Saturday, by Mr, Astill, of Cossington, no doubt for the purpose of paying Hundred rent ; twelve country bank notes for 10/. each ; one and two 5/. country bank notes ; in silver; a small :gold Geneva watch, tl i ie size chain, 571. in gold, and 151. 0 1 f 5s h . a ld f. .. a• crown, with a gold guard chain, l am a gold twithhe property Geneva seal and the key ,3.ou n a gnd l a dy go gold who suspending wasv hook, t and briquet chain ; a silver wat ch, make r's name, at Mr. Babington's ; another gold a watch, wih gola guardLiverpoolA.Jack o sonetpresent ;" an as d c a er n ta u i m ne b d er ) oafhcohnetqu3esos,Lto The amountf (as is a burglars fortunately overlooked s everal sums of money and a 'valuable gold watch, the latter of which was under the bolster of Mrs. Babington's bed at the time they took another gold watch from beneath her pillow. They also broke open a writing- desk, in which was a cheque for 400/. • this, how ever, after turning over , t he y lef t in the desk. On the police going into Mr. B.'s study they found a A fl 000rn, worstedatlnie floor that had been torn open,-and which, it could b e p l a i nly d parse,seen , asi containingt la o a on the ril. floor, note, containedwasso tznons4l. had probably been dropped by the bu rg l ars in their retreat. —A A br D id o ge L d pi cr i o N m ._ th o e Leicestershire eeryne of th e se :',/er (A -; iry. singular fish was te lS d lr a .

FIRE AT DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Considerable alarm was created on Wednesday morning, about half past eight, in consequence of a report being spread that a por tion of this theatre was on fire, followed shortly after by . the appearance of several engines. Upon inquiry we ascertained that some of the persons connected with the establishment observing a dense smoke issuing from the property-room, proceeded there, and discovered a portion of the apartment on fire. There being, however, a good supply of water, and plenty of assistance, the fire was confined to where it . originated. I SALISBURY, TUESDAY.—An extragOry:lncpsz . r.. .i .. /if-s*l:4 - held on Monday and Tuesday, at Mil no ;•. - il , appears that, on the previous Weds ads Ota . .hudyvt.A.. -1 :' .1 woman, in an advanced state of decompositSi#4-waiTdundiis4 . the river which runs through the hamletpfAiliect4:lllZit--- 30 yards below a bridge over which the road p1.1301,1.44eept.'

The body was speedily identi fi ed by the keep er of s small inn at Salisbury, as being that of a woman who had been, with a man anu three children, staying for some tint. at his house, the man getting his living by exhibiting in the city and neighbouring villages a "learned pig." The inquest. was commenced on Thursday and adjourned till Monday. In the interim the husband was apprehended at a village near Blandford, and was present during the remainder of the in quiry. He gave his name George Woolford, and aged 67. It appeared from the evidence that, on Palm Sunday, the woman left Newman's house abruptly, the man being then absent. An hour after this time two or three witnesses met a man and a woman, the latter being a few yards in advance, going at a quick pace down the road towards Laverstock bridge. One of them stated that, as she passed She heard the man say, I'll be if I don't." They be lieved Woolford to be the man. Another witness deposed that he, twenty minutes afterwards, saw Woolford standing on the bridge alone, looking into the water. Woolford, it appeared, returned to the inn at ten o'clock, and then ,eve ral times afterwards he said he believed the old w Olll3ll had drowned or hung herself. Ile and his family remained in the city for some days afterwards, and it appeared that be had made several inquiries about his wife, stating always that he believed she had committed suicide. The medical evidence went to prove distinctly that there were no exter nal marks of violence on the body, and that the death was occasioned by drowning. The prisoner stated that be was not near the spot on the night in question, and that his wife was out of her mind, and had several times attempted suicide. This latter assertion his daughter, on being examined, denied. The inquiry terminated at midnight on Tuesday, iu 4 verdict of "%Vila!! murder" against Woolford, Who was thereupon committed to the county gaol for trial. Ile iS rather a fine man, and is 67 years of age, but looks much younger. It is believed that lie and his wife were formerly members of an equestrian company.

Your Committee furtherrecommend that the following $lll or project be referred to a distinct Committee:— Vv. St. Helen's Railway and Sankey Canal. The stoppage of Messrs. Ailsop and Co., the ale brewers, of Barton was mentioned in City circles on Tuesday, but was not confirmed till yesterday, when it transpired that the debts and liabilities of the firm are for an amount of be tween 200,0001. and 300,000/. The general circumstances of the failure have not come out, butit is stated that recent ex periments have involved the house in difficulties. The hop factors in the Borough are said to be heavy sufferers; and should the suspension prove permanent, instead of tempo rary—the latter a state of things hoped by many creditors— there will be mach mischief occasioned in other quarters. GOVERNESSES' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—The second anniversary festival of this benevolent establishment was celebrated on Wednesday at the London Tavern by a large party, who dined together under the presidency of Lord Sandon, supported by Lord Ingestre, M.P., Sir 3. D. Paul, Mr. Mackinnon, M.P., the Hon. G. R. Trevor, M.P., Mohun Lal, &c. The dinner provided did great credit to the establishment. After the usual loyal toasts, the Chairman proposed the toast of the day, " Success to th e G overnesses ' Benevolent Institution." He recapitulated the peculiar claims of a class of persons hitherto much neglected, whose condition was most deserving of benevolent attention, whose . means were too frequently i na d equa t e f or t h e i nsurance of a sufficient provision against the casualties of sickness and age. On the conclusion of this earnest appeal, Mr. Hobbs sang " The Friend in Distress." After the health of the Chairman, which was proposed by Lord Ingestre, and duly responded to, the Rev. Mr. Laing, hon. sec., read a long list of subscriptions, including the Chairman, 101. 103., and 101. for the Home (a projected establishment for governesses while awaiting an engagement); Mr. Mackinnon, M.P., 101. 10s.; Lord Robert Grosvenor, 10/. 10s; Hon. G. R. Trevor, M.P., 5/..55., and Si. ss. annually ; Mohun Lal, 5/. ; Sir J. D. Paul, 10/. 10s.; Sir J. Scott, 25/. ; Lord Ellenborough, 101.10 s; Lord Stanley, 21/. ; Mr. Vaughan Richards, 101. 105.,, in addition to 20/. annually, and 50 guineas towards furnish in the home; Lord Willoughby, 201., &c. The total amount of the subscription list amounted to 1,551/. After the health of the Rev. David Laing, to whose exertions the public are mainly indebted for the success of this institution, the chair man proposed the health of Mohun Lal, who had rendered eminent services to several of our countrymen in India. lle returned thanks in a few brief words. The musical corps was under the direction of Mr. Hobbs, assisted by Mr. Chap man, Mr. Lloyd, &c. The festivities, which were graced 1y the presence of a party of ladies, were prolonged until a late hour. FATAL ACCIDENT. DERBY, WEDNESDAY. Scarcely six months have elapsed since a portion of the arch then in the course of erection to cover the Mill-deem in the Morledge, in this town, gave way, and caused the death of six persons, who were at the time under it; and now a second fall has taken place, by which two persons have lost their lives, and two others have been seriously injured. On Tuesday afternoon, about three o'clock, the contractor for the erection of the Mill-fleam arch, Mr. James Sims, his son, Edward an apprentice of the name of Harlow, and a workman of the same name, were under the arch, about the middle part, for the purpose of striking the centres, and it appears they had been occupied in this situation nearly an hour, when in one instant, without any warning being given, a portion of the arch gave way, and the whole four were buried underneath. An alarm was quickly spread in all directions, and a dense crowd repaired to the spot, who, under the direction of the borough magistrates, and a number of the police, rendered immediate assistance. An hour elapsed ere the mass of rub bish could be removed so as to extricate the bodies. Sims and his apprentice Harlow were taken out dead, and the other two alive, but extensively injured on their heads and faces. Three other persons under the arch at the time the fall miraculously escaped injury. This event has excited the strongest feeling amongst the inhabitants, as on the last Occasion the accident was attributed to a want of skill, and this is said to have originated in consequence of the 11.11.. scientific manner in which the arch had been cons,ructed. To-morrow (Thursday) Mr. B. Balguy. C oroner f or t h e bo rough, will hold an inquest upon the bodies, when a searching inquiry will be made to ascertain the Cause of the disastrous calamity. Lieutenant-Col. Sir Michael Creagh, K. 8,, and the officers of the 11th regiment, stationed at Rochester, gave their second entertainment last week, which was attended by upwards of four hundred of the local and neigh bouring nobility and gentry. Six rooms of th e men ' a quarters in Brompton Barracks were thrown open for the reception of the company, two of which were used for dam.- ing, and all were tastefully decorated with nags, swords, and emblematical devices Among the company were—Lord A. Fitzclarence, Colonel Sir T. Ni illshire, Sir T. Smith, Captain Sir J. Marshall, Colonel Glennie, Major Lushington, Colonel C. Menzies, Lieut.-Colonel Stevens, Lieut.-Colonel Kelly, Lieut.-Colonel W. Burns, and Major Burns (e o ns o f lb. Scottish poet), &c. We understand that a clerk, of some length of ser vice at the Custom-house, who was suspended a short time since, in consequence of his absenting himself from duty. under pecuniary embarrassment, having since availed him self of the Insolvent Act, has been discharged from the ser vice. A very strict order was some time ago issued on this subject, and it is understood that the fact of it having been proved that the party in question made a false declaration as to the state of his affairs and circumstances in regard to pecuniary matters, on his entry into the service, and that he has also contracted extensive and unnecessary debts since that period, has been the cause of his removal from the de vartment. TIIE LONDON DISTRICT PosT-orrice.—Wednesday six additional sub-sorters were appointed for the increased service of the London District Post -office. A further in crease of sorters, porters, and then, it is expected, will take place front the same cause in a few days. . THE WINE TRADE.—The Lords Commissi oners Of the Treasury having had under their consideration an application from the Chairman on behalf of the Wine and Spirit Association of Liverpool, requesting an increase of the allowances for wastage. on wines in bond, so far as respects hogsheads and smaller casks, than that determined on by their Lordships' recent order on ti' subject, Mr. Cardwell has communicated to the Board of Custom* every 100 gallons, gal that their Lordships are pleased to sanction the following scal e o f gallons, otbe allowances for waste, in lieu of that appr tn o wg vecl oicy l: el y ar t at h i: e afnn o r r 3 d oe ir ery 100 for r d o n fye exceeding timeane d u J a n uary exceedinga s o n t e — last—viz., , necoas,ti one year, for t i a fn i eg n r i s io a n n s ons, 4 gallons.

LIBRARY OF THE LATE DUKE OF Sesssx.--Four divisions of this most extensive and valuable royal library have already been sold by public auction ; and the fifth part is now about to be submitted to the same mode of disposal. It contains nearly three thousand lots of books in tbeverione departments of poetry, the drama, Latin elaasics, polygraph, modern Latin k>eetry, biography lexicograpliv, translations of valuable Oriental ' works published by th e A s i at i c So ciety, law, constitutional and; parliamentary history, public- records, literary history, &c.

Edward D Thomas 31 Frederick Charles C. • — lTenry N. George Rii IL V. Titfi Henry- We COST AND SURVEY. The length of Railway which it is necessary to construct for the accomplishment of the whole important objects above specified will be about 104 miles ; and, from surveys already made and an estimate given by Mr. Locke, the Committee are assured that the Capital of 1,500,0001. will be sufficient to cover the whole expense. TRAFFIC, The traffic will embrace—let, on the Eastern portion, the carriage of the whole minerals required for the extensive manufacturing dis tricts around Galashiels, Hawick, Melrose, and Selkirk, consisting of timber, slate, coal, lime, lead, and iron, which must be conveyed to them on this Railway ; whilst their vast woollen manufactures, con sisting of tweeds, blanketting, shawls, plaidings, &c. &c. as well as raw material, must pass in return ; and 2d, the conveyance of agricultural produce from the highly-cultivated South-eastern districts of Scotland and Northumberland to the dense population and mining and manufacturing districts of the West. Upon a calculation, based upon Mr. Telforl's estimate, it can be shown that, at the present day, a return of upwards of five per cent. may be reckoned upon from those sources alone, after deducting forty per cent. for expenses. On the Western portion of the line to Ayr and Kilmarnock, a very large mineral and goods traffic may be relied on, independent of the Eastern Extension. . . From the very highly-important districts which those lines in tersect, a very large passenger-traffic may be calculated upon, not only of a local, but of a general nature. From these sources the Committee feel themselves justified in cal culating on an ample return for the capital required. The Subscribers' agreement will contain powers to the Provisional Directors to be thereby appointed to fix the precise extent and course of the line, and tke position of the termini, as circumstances may render desirable, and powers will be taken in the Act of Parliament to grant a lease of the works to the Caledonian Railway Company at a rent of four per cent. and one half of the surplus profits.

Duprez is delighting the public again Off the stage of the Theatre Royal Drury-lane; And thousands admire the vocalist's skill, Which causes the house every evening to fill. The surprising effect which he gives to a song Has met with unequalled success all along. Our reason for mentioning Duprez in print, Is clearly displayed in the following hint : This singer, whose voice can be rivalled by none, Should sing a choice song for E. MOSES and SON. Such extensive commercial achievements as ours Are tufted to such a choice vocalist's powers; What thousands of people would throng Drury-lane, If Duprez were to sing Messrs. MOSES a strain ; And how would the crowding assemblage rejoice, To hear him thus nobly employing his voice. A thing such as this might be very soon done, For the words could be written by MOSES and SON; And the wonderful singer himself could prepare A touching, a bold, and a suitable air. Such words and such music, with choice adaptation, Would obtain for the singer increased approbation; And a merited honour would also be done To the trading achievements of MOSES and SON. A new work, entitled " THE LEVIATHAN OF TRADE," with full directions for Self-Measurement, may be had on appligation, or forwarded post-free. LIST OF PRIC ES. READY MADE. X s. d.

HYGEIAN MANIFESTO. If doctors can (as they hold out to the world) prove that such poisons as prussic acid, arsenie, opium, &c., &c., can (under any circumstances) cure, or tend to cure, any disease or malady, we will at once admit that that medicine should only be practised by those who know how to deal with such poisons ; but satisfied as we are that they ',cannot prove any such thing, and, moreover, fully believing that poisons are held out medi cinally to the world by doctors in order to create a monopoly and make a trade of " advice," we deny the right of any Legislature to force, by enactment, such a body of men upon the public as those practising on the organic theory, which theory admits of poisons being held out as medicines. Hygeists claim the medical liberty of the subject, be cause they believe that with what is strictly "medici nal "—that is, a proper vegetable purgative, all persons can, and ought, to be their own doctors. It is, in short, because this opinion is now become prevalent, that doc tors are obliged to go before Parliament for extra ordinary and most unjust demands—such as to compel the public to employ them nolens volens. The British College of Health, New-road, London, for and on behalf of the body of Hygeists. April 17, 1845. DISGRACEFUL HOAX.—Wednesday morning, be tween two and three o'clock, the following disgraceful hoax was played off on a lady of the name of Mitchelson, residing in Nutford.place, Bryanston.square. At the above-men tioned hour several medical gentlemen arrrived in cabs, and others on foot, at the residence of Mrs. M., for the pur pose of tendering their aid to her, having been requested by two young gentlemen, who had a short time previously called on them, to conic immediately to the residence of Miss M., who, they stated, had attempted suicide by swal lowing a quantity of laudanum. On the first medical gen tleman arriving, he was assured that he must be labouring under a mistake, as no such occurrence had taken place, and he quitted. In less than five minutes afterwards no less than four others arrived, and from the commencement to the end upwards of a dozen, who had been dragged from their beds, to their great inconvenience, and also annoyance of Mrs. M. The conduct of the parties connected with the hoax is so highly reprehensible that they merit the severest pe nalty of the law. THE NEW ROYAL EXCHANGE.—The Dutch steam ship Batavier, on her last voyage from Rotterdam, brought a case, containing charts and maps, forwarded from the Hague, as a present from the Dutch Government to the New Royal Exchange, for the use of the underwriters at Lloyd's, and application has been made to the Customs' authorities, on behalf of his Excellency M. Dedel, the Netherland's Minister, for the delivery of the same free of duty, being for the use and benefit of the public service, which has been granted. INQUEST ON Mit. GRlEVE.—Wednesday Mr. Carter held an inquest on the body of Mr. John Henderson Grieve, of Blaizenlore-square, Peckham, artist, father of Messrs. Grieve, the scene-painters, who was found lying in :the street, and taken to the Lambeth police-station, who, itiwas supposed, had been intoxicated; but it turned out that he was in an apoplectic fit, and he died in a short time. It was shown that the deceased was a remarkable abstemious man, and the jury returned a verdict accordingly. One of the greatest impositions practised at the present day by shopkeepers, not only in London, but in every City and Town throughout the Kingdom, is that of forging the property of another, and imposing on the Public the forged article with all the assurance of innocence.—We allude, in the present instance, to those admirable requisites for the Toilet, the Macassar Oil, Kalydor, and Odonto, as prepared by the Messrs. Rowland, and which, from their merits and reputation, are the constant objects of fraudulent imitation. The parties so imitating concoct some trashy compounds resembling in appearance those of Messrs. Rowland, and by adopting the very same names, and copying the labels and bills, endeavour to pass off their trash as the " genuine" articles, reckless of the injury which they will inevitably inflict on those who are deceived by using them. We should have imagined that an English tradesman, whose reputation . for honour and integrity is proverbial, would not have stooped to the meanness of so base and paltry an action. Neverthe less we know for certain that such is the ease, and we would advise all Patrons of Messrs. Rowland's Articles to purchase only of respectable venders—and particularly to observe the caution in their advertisement, which frequently appears in our paper. age, de; an , : 3teu last b° Ice to rib 00 7„cb r is - oo la vi l.
