SECRETARY—George W. Hills, Esq. The Railway for which this Company has obtaine da concession, will join the main Belgian line from Charleroi to Namur and Liege, at some point near or between the two former towns, and will run throxigh the whole province of Luxembourg, in the Direction of binant, Neufchateeu, and Arlon, to Luxembourg, with an extension to Thionville and Metz, at which latter city it will join the Paris and Strasbourg Railway. The Whole will be about 140 miles in length. It will thus unite all the Belgian railways with those of Franco ; and if the direction of the various great lines in those two countries, from Belgium to Lille, Valenciennes, Dunkirk, and Calais be examined, it Will be seen that the Luxembourg Railway will thus form by far the shortest, and, consequently, the quickest and cheapest route from those countries, and from England to Metz, Strasbourg, Rhenish Prussia, the Rhine (South), Baden, Wurtemburg, and the other im- Dortant districts of the North-East and East of France, and of the South of Germany, and also to the Eastern parts of Switzerland and Italy, At its northern extremity, this railway must receive a large proportion of the immense goods' traffic proceeding from. Holland, Belgium, and the other countries north, by the river Meuse and the Belgian railways and canals which centre in that district trona .Antwerp, Ostend, Brussels, Ghent, Bruges, and other Belgian Provinces, and join those of' Frante on one side, and on the other those of Germany and Holland ; thus forming continuous lines of Communication with them all. Looking next to the south, a railway Bs to be made (as a branch to the Paris and Strasbourg Railway) from Metz to the extensive coal-field at Sarrebruck, and another is Projected to 31anhelm, on the Rhine. At Thionville and Metz, the Luxembourg line will meet the large passenger and goods traffic on the Moselle, to and from the Rhine at Coblentz, which the establish latent of steamers on the Moselle, is daily and rapidly increasing. Much of the great transit trade now going by the Rhine through Holland is also likely to take this route through Antwerp or Calais, in consequence of the great difficulty, delay, and expense of ascending the Rhine between Strasbourgh and Bale. There is likewise a considerable local traffic In passengers and Roods in the districts through which the railway will pass, and nu merous fairs are held there. They abound in timber, corn, wine, ' , pines of every descriptioniron, copper, lead, manganese, antimony, I le.; rock-salt, limestone, plaster, slate quarries (which supply the whole province, and export to a large extent to other countries)—and t hey contain numerous tanneries, salt-works, and all the smelting _and other establishments to which mineral productions give ri se . There are 28 blast-furnaces in the province of Namur, and 41 in that of Luxembourg, which all draw iron-ore from the Luxembourg 13111 1 es. Besides the local consumption of iron, about 70,000 t ens , are annually exported. On the other head, Luxembourg Il nports from Belgium large quantities of glass, manufactured Roods. colonial produce, spirits, zinc, marble, and building-stone, Coal. Sec. The importation of coal from the Belgian coal-field, at the . 0 1211 end of the line, and from Sarrebruck, at its southern extremity, Would increase to a very large extent, both for fuel and for burning t ne, smelting ore, and other manufacturing purposes, as soon as an i mproved means of conveyance is introduced, instead of the present slow and expensive one of carting, which keeps that article at a high Price. One part of these districts contains fine limestone, while the other wants it ; and the slates would find a largely increased sale in , s t eigium, Holland, and France. The wealth, fertility, and population ,"Lthe department of the Moselle, in which the southern terminus of `ols railway will be situated, are too well known to need comment. „In ~ 1828 a powerful Belgian and Dutch Company, called the S „,,eciete du Luxembourg," undertook to carry out the great national rl e cts—lst, ofuniting the rivers Meuse and Moselle, and of thus af _ s a perfect and eontinuous means of communication through whole length of the province of Luxembomg, by completing the line of navigation from the Meuse at Liege to the Moselle, near Lux- ZZlh(alrg and Treves ; and 2dly, of bringing into active production Th e great mineral wealth of this province, which had remained dor .Lant for want of propermeans of conveyance. For these purpo ses the Luxembourg Company was endowed with a perpetual grant and "oncost unlimited powers. In accordance with this project, the Com- Pally commenced operations at the Lieu. end, and proceeded with great vigour and success, until an was stopped by the Belgian nf i eto. or other circumstances have since prevented the resumption of the scheme. The river Ourthe, which flows Into the Meuse, and was the commencement of the proposed line of navigation, had, however, been considerably Int- Proved by the Company, and an important local traffic, amounting fo about 70,000 tons per annum, is now established there, from which the Luxembourg Company has derived a handsome and increasing return for the money expended. This Company had also obtained the Clint of three valuable mining localities, previous to the revolution of 1830 ; namely, the grant of the lead, copper, and iron mines at burbuy, of the lead mines of Maizeret, and of the manga nese mines of Bihain. Several other grants had been applied for, and were pending, but the matter has since remained in abeyance trona the circumstances already mentioned. The grant of Durbuy attends over seven parishes, and 19,308 statute acres; 24,000 tons of iron ore had already been extracted previous to 1830, and about as r anch iron in 1839 and 1840, when the works were resumed. In 1842 these mines were let for twenty years to another company, Who undertook to produce at least 1000 cubic yards of rough ore per i .,„"nani. and who are actively working the mines. The Luxemt.ourg pany receives a royalty or farm-rent of the tenth of the produce. '-raThe, grant of the Maizeret lead mines extends over 630 acres. Fr om 'lse result of the borings and excavations made, these mines are con fered ve—ry valuable, and they have the advantage of being close to e Meuse river and to the high-road from Namur to Liege. The es2lleession of Bihain extends over 1614 acres, and promises to be rme one of great value; 600 tons of manganese had already been extracted when the works had to be suspended in 1830. The corn- Pany had also already expl red several valuable mining localities, pro. d ing baryte,(from one of which mines 530 tons were extracted,] rock rt, antimony, lead, copper, iron, and other minerals, of which it 1: 41 applied for grants under the powers and intent of its charter. A ZZe number of quarries were likewise opened by the Company, and a l . t inae to be worked. It possesses property in Brussels, including Trge mansion and premises, where its offices are situated. t , 41 order to become possessed of the extensive powers granted to Luxembourg Company, and thus to obtain the entire command of cole i ntercourse and mining property in that province and the ad ri 'nag districts, this Company will have to purchase the shares and rights of the Company above-mentioned, including of course the the mines, and all its r a il way roperty, interests and privileges, for v,. 801 n of 260,000/. As the will effect the purposes of con t a a nee and communication through Luxembourg, for which the at was projected, it is now intended (and It is in accordance with miter) to complete the line of navigation only from the Meuse sets ge to La Roche ;of which the estimated cost is under 400,0001. ;by t a Lnleans the railway and navigation cannot clash, as they will 1 - ( ) ;`,` frout and run through quite different districts. It will be reserved to t ,. ot ure consideration whether the canal shall eventually be joined , ‘ , ll the railway by a branch canal or railway from La Roche, or In e : t her it shall be continued in any other direction. In the so, k 7 rl time the local traffic alone will be sufficient to produce a hand earee return on the capital to be invested, it being estimated upon a pottut and moderate calculation to yield a net profit of about eight th at eent. on the capital required. It may not be generally known ce nt t he Belgian canals give a net profit of from six to fourteen per en 'i and the Charleroi and Brussels Canal, which was conceded to INAlly in 1826, is paying ten and a half per cent. on the capital. 1, 1 ,1 1 addition to the great mineral traffic above described, the canal pe r . cr oas several extensive forests ; whence large quantities of VIII- P4 r -uc t wood will be sent for ship and house-building, Mel, and other ? e sea, for which it is constantly in great demand. e „, e concession of the railway is already obtained from the Go irlialent, for a lease of ninety years from the date of its completion. thirtether conditions are equally favourable. The tariff is about raii„ 3 :„ Per cent. higher for passengers than that of the Belgian 441" P, being about the same, both for passengers and goods re, 'Deets aL of France, while it is much more advantageous in many other Th e fo r th e G overnment is to give, without charge, all the land required it g e railway, wherever it crosses the crown lands, and it is to use a " th e s 4t hority and influence to induce parishes and individuals to do Pos e ,T t le. No government or other tax or duty is ever to be Im re°4llll oPon the railway, nor is any rival line to be allowed to start Lu g „ e B elgian railways in the direction of this one through lesse - e lith °arg, for at least twelve years.

It was also moved by WlLLtam - Birt.nza, Esq., seconded by 13AAC HAMMOND, Esq., and Resolved unan i mously— That the intended line will confer greater advantage on the town of Leek, than any other line which has hitherto been submitted to consideration. Junction Railway, and make this railway the best communication, not only between London and Manchester, but also between London and Liverpool. Many influential persons connected with the Potteries have urged this step as the only one that will enable them to get directly and speedily to London and Liverpool. For seven years this large and influential district has been endea vouring to get a route to London - ; every proposed scheme has been rendered abortive, either by its internal insignificance or bad ma nagement, and become a mere article for speculation without the re motest adaptation to the wants of this great industrial population. Had any one of the many projected schemes succeeded, it would not bear the comparison for one moment in point of real soundness, utility, and public benefit to the Potteries of the present undertaking. The noblemen and gentlemen on the route have for the greater part expressed their unqualified support of the line, by 'means, of which, and the advance of railway science, the expense of formation will be rendered comparatively light. It is the intention of the promoters, without absolutely binding themselves, to adopt the atmospheric principle and broad gauge, should such be approved, or to take any gauge or means that will be economical in working and give high speed. Any ornamental pro perty on the line will, as far as possible, be respected. The distance, under 177 miles, will be accomplished in about three and a half hours, and no exertion will be spared to complete the journey in the shortest possible time. It was also moved by WILLIAM CRITCHROW, Esq., seconded by NATHAN DAVENPORT, R sq., and Resolved unanimously— That it therefore deserves, and shall receive, all the loeal support which can be obtained by the influence or exertions of the gentle. men present. It was also moved by Jonx Bannon, Esq., seconded by JOSIAh BRUNT, Esq., and Resolved unanimously— That the foregoing resolutions be advertised in the London and Provincial papers.

The object of this' railway is to ly open a direct communication from the Staffordshire. Potteries northwards with Liverpool, Manchester, and the north of England, Scotland, and southward with Bristol, London, and the south of England. The line will commence at Stafford, and proceed through the heart of the Potteries, giving the best and most ample accommodation to Stoke Longton, New castle. Stoke Hanley, Burs]em, and the whole of the Pottery district, whence it will pass betwixt Congleton and Sandbach, through Knutsford direct to Altrincham, where it will join the South Junction Railway to Manchester, an Act for which has been obtained. A branch northwards, from the Potteries to Crewe, will connect the line with Chester and Birkenhead ; and branches from Knutsford on the one hand, through Northwich to Preston Brook, and on the other to the Cheadle station of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway, will open a communication between the Salt districts and the Pot teries, Liverpool, Hull, and the eastern ports of England. The advantages of this railway will be very great to a large And most important extent of country, hitherto totally unprovided with railway communication, and will be more fully detailed in a future Prospectus, whieh,. with Iklaps and the names of an influential pro visional Directory, will be issued with as little delay as possible. The surveys and estimates are in the course of completion, and no parks or ornamentals grounds will be interfered with.

This line will therefore be completely independent of other lines, making, made, or to be made ; and the delay and inconvenience Attendant on stoppages, the caprices of rival companies, &c., will be thus avoided. It will be the most direct, the speediest, the most economical. And the promoters feel convinced that a calm consideration of the matter on its merits will satisfy all that this original line of an able engineer will be a railway of unequalled public utility, and that, if it will necessarily be an undertaking of magnitude, it is; at the same time, one of large promise, and likely to afford very great remunera tion to shareholders.

It will commence at King's-cross, near the north end of Gray's Inn-road, and pass round Muswell Hill, through or adjacent to Friem Barnet, Chipping Barnet, St. Alban's, Luton, Silsoe, Ampt hill, Bedford, Wellingborough, Kettering, Market Harborough, Lei cester, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Burton, Uttoxeter, Cheadle, Leek, Mac clesfield, and Stockport, to Manchester, with a branch from the line between Cheadle and Uttoxeter, through Stoke and the Staffordshire Potteries to Crewe. This railway has not been pillaged from the prospectuses of any other undertaking, nor have the labours of any other person been appropriated to eke out a fancy scheme. It was originally planned by Mr. George Remington in 1836, and in 1840 and 1841 this gentle man surveyed the ground, and took the sections between London and Leicester, and personally inspected the Valleys of the Dove, Der went, and Chumet, with a view to obtain a great trunk line between the most important termini in the empire. Manchester, the centre of the great manufacturing district, comprising the towns of Bury, Bolton, Rochdale, Ashton, Oldham, Macclesfield, Stockport, &c and a mass of population, exceeding a million, actively engaged in the pursuits of manufacturing industry, will benefit by every reduc tion of distance between itself and the metropolis, and requires a direct communication, not a route made up of circuitous segments of various undertakings already overworked, with a patch of new railway between, but by one continuous railway. Public opinion, the sentiments of eminent statesmen and engi neers, and the wants of the commercial world, have for some time pointed out the necessity of a direct independent line. The circum stance alone of other lines in this direction being now advertised, which have been announced since this undertaking originated, is a convincing proof of the feeling so generally entertained. This is not all. Looking to the map of England, it will be per ceived that the nearest route to Edinburgh is through the very centre of the kingdom, by Manchester; and, from the obstructions of the Firths of Forth and Tay, Carlisle and Manchester must necessarily be points in the intercommunication between London and Glasgow, and the North and North-east of Scotland. Whenever the Northern railways are complete, a very great passenger traffic, as well as the goods at present brought by sea to Liverpool from Glasgow, will be added to the present amount, and the necessity of greater expedition, certainty, and accommodation, will be felt to be more pressing. Already, from the vast increase of business, the Midland lines have obtained an amount of goods and passenger carriage that has reached the limits of safety. If, then, from various causes, such as the continuous increasing traffic on the old lines—the junction of many new railways projected and in formation—the approaching completion of the Scottish and Northern lines—the progression of railway communication in Ireland, new and immense sources of traffic will be necessarily poured in on lines indirect and inadequate to general accommodation ; there can be no objection on public grounds to the construction of a direct line between London and Manchester. On the contrary, every reason for its energetic support. From Leicester to Bedford and London, it will intersect a rich, populous, and fertile country, at present without railway communi cation to London, while northwards of Leicester it will pass through important mineral and mining districts, and the coal and other natu ral productions of Derbyshire and Staffordshire will be immediately available for the population along the whole line. From a point in the Tean Valley, near Cheadle, it is intended to carry a branch railway through the Staffordshire Potteries to Crewe, by way of Lane-end, Stoke-upon-Trent, _Hanley, Newcastle-under- Lyn., Buralein, and Tunstall, so as to Ittnu.st junction with the Grand ST. QUENTIN and MAUBEUGE RAILWAY. As the concession of this line cannot take place until the next session of the French Chambers, the allotment of the Shares of this Company Is postponed CHARLES GRAHAM and CO 20, King's Arms-yard, July 28, 1845.

The line presents no engineering difficulties. The landholders generally are considered favourable to the project, and the promoters have every reason to calculate upon a most highly remunerative re turn on the outlay. One-third of the shares will be reserved for the shareholders in the South Midland Hallway Company, and a preference will be given in allotting the residue to parties locally interested.

NORTHERN LUNATIC ASYLUM, London, Colonade Hotel, Charles-street, St. James's-square, sth June, 1845. At a Meeting held on the 20th ultimo, of the Committee appointed by the County of Inverness, for promoting the erection at Inverness of a Lunatic Asylum, for Pauper and other Lunatics of the Northern Counties of Scotland; We, the undersigned, William H. Coiquhoun, Advocate, Sheriff- Substitute of Inverness-shire, and John Mackenzie, banker in In verness, were appointed a Deputation to solicit Subscriptions in Lon don, in aid of the proposed Asylum. And being now arrived here, in pursuance of our mission, we beg leave to send you some particulars regarding the proposed establish ment, in the hope that you will be pleased to give it the benefit of your support by contribution or otherwise, Under that impression, we will do ourselves the honour of waiting on you, in a day or two, to learn your determination; bet should we he so unfortunate as not to have an opportunity of seeing you personally, we hope you will be kind enough to favour us with your views, to the above address, on or before 12th instant. The primary object of the projected Institution is the accommoda tion of pauper lunatics, and of other lunatics in poor circumst ances , in the northern counties of Scotland, which comprise an extent of surface equal to one-third of all Scotland, and have a population of about 2.50,000. Yet, with the exception•of a very few cells attached to the infirmary at Inverness, there is not any provision made in all this wife district for the secure confinement or In...llea' treatment of the Insane, the poorer classes of whom, amounting in number to up wards of 700, are left in a state of wretched destitution, either burden some to their poor relatives and paralysing their industry, or roam ing about the country in search of a precarious subsistence—pitiable on account of their calamity, often alarming and dangerous to the community from their furious conduct, at once the disgrace, the in jury, and the terror of the country. crying pop e r N o ll, thissedto heart-sickening at ke Inverness, ningandfr as the most ightfulneglcct c a e n n Ta t o r d a ea l sbt a ai n ttne d tti c ho o n e it isnient point, an Asylum for pauper lunatics, and for other lunatics in poor circumstances belonging to the northern coun ties. As a subsidiary and ulterior measure, provision will be made for the addition afterwards of apartments for richer classes of patients. The funds for this purpose can only be obtained by the voluntary contributions of such benevolent persons as are interested in the wel fare of the wide district of country referred to, or in the mitigation of human suffering rentrally. It is estimated that at least 8,000!. will be required to erect the necessary buildings, and to form a fund for the permanent endowment of the Institution. Already considerable progress has been made, principally in the North of Scotland, in pro curing; and hop es are con fi dently entertained that , and perhaps C o l on i a l a id , th e necessary funds will be obtained to secure thi s i nvaluable boon for the poor, and re move one of the worst blot s on the humanity of our countrymen. The rules for the government of the Instit u ti on w ill b e o f course de termined at a general m eeting of the Subscribers, and will be sub mitted to them on principl es fitted to secure a liberal and efficient system of management, c omprehending the chief official funtionaries of the district, but giving to th e Subscribers due and ample powers of with me s control and recommendation, We are, respectflilly, Your very obedient servants, (Signed) W.

AMEETING of the SOCIETY for the EMAN CIPATION of INDUSTRY was held at Exeter Hall on Tuesday, July 1, ANDREW SPOTTISWOODE, Esq., in the Chair, at which the following resolutions were moved and carried:— Resolved,—First—That this Society cannot refrain froM expressing its surprise and disappointment at the very unsatisfactory resolutions introduced by Lord John Russell in the House of Commons on the 26th of May, for the professed purpose of ameliorating the condition of the working classes of the United Kingdom, and of correcting the alarming evil for which his Lordship did not account, that while " the rich are growing richer, the poor are growing poorer;"—and this meeting considers that no professions of sympathy for the dis tressed condition of the labouring classes can avail anything, or be satisfactory to the country at large, so long as those classes are compelled to provide for a heavy taxation on articles of consumption in a money artificially made scarce—a regulation which confers an undue and unnatural advantage upon capital over industry. Second,—That it is the opinion of this Society that the state of actual destitution and suffering under which it is acknowledged the labouring classes in this kingdom are now so largely suffering, in the midst of superabundant wealth, and the inexhaustible means of producing that wealth, is not owing to any fault of their own, nor to any express dispensation of Providence, hut is attributable to in judicious legislation, of which the most striking example is the per. niciouS currency law of 1819—a measure which Sir James Graham truly and emphatically denounced as a "delusion and a fraud." Third,—That the object of the currency law of 1819 and of the monetary measures of 1844 and 1845 is to reduce the prices of pro duction to the level of gold prices, while the object of eorn laws, and of all protective laws, is to raise prices above the level of gold, in order to compensate for heavy taxation; and thus the one object is inconsistent with, and contradictory to, the other.—That it is the intention of the Legislature, in levying taxes on commodities, to secure that those taxes should be paid by the consumers generally in a rise of prices; but the effect of the monetary measures before re ferred to is to prevent a rise of prices, and thus to defeat that inten tion.—That by these means a grievous wrong is indicted on the pro ducing classes, the effects of which are observable in the wide-spread pauperism described by Sir James Graham as already amounting in England to full one-tenth of the population, and in the alarming de pression of the prices of agricultural produce, in consequence of which the wages of the labourer are reduced to their present low and insuffi cient rate. Fourth,—That this Society contends that the high scale of indirect taxation in this country demands a corresponding scale of prices both of labour and of the produce of labour; and that such scale of prices is incompatible with the present low fixed price of gold, which has the effect, not only of throwing upon the producers the burden of that taxation which ought to be paid by the consumers, but of perni ciously restricting the circulating medium of the country, by making It dependent on the•quantity of gold in the Bank of England. , Fifth,—That if gold were allowed to find its market price in the currency of the country, like all other commodities, and in obedience to the law of supply and demand, prices in the home trade would rise to a remunerating level, without affecting the prices of our foreign trade, which are now, and always must be, regulated by the market price of gold. That competition would prevent home prices from rising in such a circulating medium beyond the level that indi rect taxation justified ; a level below which it is as unjust to the pro ducer as it is dangerous to the public creditor to reduce them.—That the Government money (or Exchequer-bills) now issued for taxes in a shape and in amounts exclusively useful to the monied class, should be issued in amounts convenient for all classes—namely, in notes of one pound and upwards ; that these notes being necessarily confined within the amount of annual taxation, would be founded on and re present that property which the Government annually draws from the people in taxes, and would form the legal-tender money of the nation.—That labour would then receive its fair and reasonable re ward, while the commerce and industry of the country would be freed from their present unnecessary and injurious dependence upon foreign exchanges. Sixth,—That this Society views with horror the monstrous doc trine attributed to Sir Robert Peel in the debate on Mr. Villiers's ' motion upon the 10th of June, that the increasing impoverishment of the industrious classes is without remedy; that "great wealth being found side by side with great poverty" is "inseparable from civilisation, and that civilisation in itself increases the tendency in a country towards them,"—a doctrine which would consign a large portion of our countrymen to irremediable poverty. That this Society is prepared to prove before a Committee of either House of Parliament that such a social anomaly is mainly attributable to mis taken views of the nature and uses of money, and of the laws governing the distribution of wealth ; and they cannot but ascribe it to the deepest and most deplorable delusion, that in the recent dis cussione on the subject of the Corn-laws and Banking, the National Debt and Taxation, which form essential elements in both questions, have been studiously excluded. Seventh,—That petitions, representing the substance of the reso utions of this meeting, and praying for legislative inquiry into the effect of currency on prices, and on the wages of labour, be now prepared and signed by the. Chairman of the Society, and be presented to the House of Lords and the House of Commons ; and that the Provisional Committee formed for the convening of this meeting be requested to place the petitions in suitable hands for presentation and support.

CROWDED STEAMERS. What a bustle is seen on the stairs and the piers I What mingled confusion resounds in the ears ! And look! how the decks of the steamers are cramm'd ; It appears as if some must be stifled or jamm'd. Not a seat can be had from the bow to the stern, And a standing-place scarcely the eye can discern. Now what is the cause of this holiday-making, This bustle and stir, and this gay pleasure-taking ? Some people suppose that the very low fares, Have crowded the vessels, the piers, and the stairs. But the principal cause of this tumult and fun, Is the very cheap clothing of MOSES and SON. A suit of good clothes is a very great treasure, Which induces the wearer to take a day's pleasure. These glad summer trips would be sure to be less, If the public had not the advantage of dress. When at MOSES' famed warehouse a bargain you make, You save what will pay for the pleasure you take. 'Tis MOSES and SON who have crowded the boats, By the sale of their trowsers, and waistcoats, and coats. For many advantages daily are won, Through the friends of the steamers—E. MOSES and SON.

The Committee of Management have the pleasure to announce, as one instance among many of the great public advantages likely to re sult from the carrying out of this railway, that certain leadiumpcoal masters of Staffordshire have proposed to this Company, thatln the event of the line being established, they will guarantee a clear annual profit of 50,0001. for the conveyance of coal to the London market alone, and they assert (though it forms no part of the present pro posal) that another 50,000/. per annum may be realised from other markets. In the event of such contract being accepted, they propose to deliver their best coals in the London market at 12s. 6d. per ton, which would ensure to the metropolis a supply of coals at a price most materially below the present cost. The Committee feel it right to make this announcement, because it is one of the early practical illustrations in proof of the great public utility which the Committee must confidently anticipate from the establishment of this important national project. By order, HENRY W. MATTHEWS, Secretary. REMINGTON'S LINE, L ONDON and MANCHESTER DIRECT INDEPENDENT RAILWAY.

SHOOTING. —The He a th er - co l oured JACKET ky of Llama Wool retains the principles of Shape given in Nicoll's Registered Paletot. There are many gentlemen who have no liking for field sports, yet would much incline to the Registered Jacket, it not confining the chest and giving a general sense of freedom ; no slight recommendation for the library or the early morning walk in the country; but the Registered Jacket, for the purpose designed, viz., shooting, is truly good. The Heather recommended, but many patterns may be seen at most of the agents in the principal country towns, or at the spacious Warehouses, 114, Regent-street, London. H. J. and D.

F RUIT SEASON.—The experience of past years having proved the advantage, at this season, of acting upon the advice of the Faculty, in the substitution of weak Brandy -and. water, as an ordinary beverage, for Beer or other fermentable liquors, and at no greater cost, J. T. BETTS, jun., and CO. trust that they need only to caution the public against any of the spurious articles offered for sale being foisted upon consumers in lieu of their l'atent Brandy, and, at the same time, to refer to its superiority and economy for preserving fruit. BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY is protected against fraudulent substitution, when sold in bottles, by being secured with the Patent Metallic Capsules, embossed with the words "BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, 7, SMITHFIELD-BARS." Purchasers of single bottles, at 3s. 6d. each, cannot be too particular in observing that the Cap sules are so embossed. This pure and healthful spirit is preferred by the highest medical authorities to any other, and is used, to the exclusion of Foreign llrandy, at St. Thomas's, Guy's, St. George's, the Westminster, and other Hospitals ; at the Brighton, Bristol, Manchester, and other In firmaries ; and, indeed, at the principal sanative institutions through out the country. BETTS'S BATENT BRANDY may be obtaiqcd, in the capsuled bottles, by way of sample, and at 18s. per gallon in bulk, of the most respectable wine and spirit merchants In every locality. The DISTILLERY, 7, SMITIIFIELD-BARS, LONDON, is the only Establishment of J. T. BETTS'S, jun., and CO., where quart titles of not less than TWO GALLONS, in bottle or bulk, aro supplied.

The John 0' Groat's Journal reports a continued successful prosecution of the fishing at Wick. On Thursday 500 boats were out, and the average take was five crane each. A gene ral beginning has not yet been made. Highlandrnen, for the purpose of hiring, are arriving in scores, and meeting with pretty fair engagements---41. to 4/. 10s., with rations, for eight weeks, has been about the rule. For good hands as high as Si. to 51. ss. have been given. At the annual let of the herring curing stations there was an increase on the rental of about 65 per cent. A few days since a num ber of Dutch fishisg vessels arrived in Wick bay. Upwards of 70 were within sight at one time. They had previously been very fortunate in the fishing. Most of the curers at Wick preferred curing their fish, although they were freely bought fresh by the English vessels at I7s. and 18s. per cran. A small quantity of cured fish Las been sold at 18s., a few days in salt, and the last contracts entered into were at 18s. 3d. At Reawick, in Zetland, the fishing has been very successful, the boats of Messrs. Garrick and Co., eight in number, aver aging 70 crane. ‘ - 'IIELMSDALE, JULY 21, 1845.—0ur fishermen were pretty successful last week, considering it is still early. On Tuesday there were 60 boats out, averaging 7 crans; Wednesday, 130 boats, averaging 3 crane; Thursdary, 170 boats, average same; Friday, 200, average same ; Saturday, 220 boats, average 1 trans. The whole of our fleet will put to sea to - ni ght. Several crews who commenced first of last week caught 40 crans—one or two boats have from 50 to 60 already. STORNOWAY.—The herrings have almost wholly deserted this coast, and seem to be proceeding southward. The route of these singular fish is every year invariably the same ; they first appear here, then proceed to Gairloch, thenee to Portree, from it to Scalpa, and work their way south by Lochfine, fol. lowed by an immense fleet of whales, fishermen, an d ships.

In calling attention to their establish.. ment, Ross and Sons beg to notice the advantages of their system—viz., they never take apprentices nor young men from the country, nor object to customers asking for the same man to wait upon them ; every person has clean brushes, they never being used twice, without being washed ; and parties are not pressed to buy things they do not want.
