The Caledonian Railway has been recommended by the Board of Trade as the best trunk communication through Scotland, and may conflden 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 ineetink,s 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 are in themselves wholly desti tute ; while the Westein 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 from 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 might 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 flirther remarks that '6 The whole distance from Berwick to the water summit being 7754 miles, and the total rise 7 53 feet (which is considerably higher than the summit now proposed to be passed over), the average inclination is under 10 feet in 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 will 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. 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 Ilk 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, plaidhigs, &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. Telford'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 wers to the Provisional Directors to be thereby appointed to fix the p porecise extent and course of the line, and the 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 rutted 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 adaptatioa. Would obtain for the singer increased approbation ; And a merited honour would also be done To the trading achievements of MOSES and SON.

Such is an undisputed fact ; and in good honest truth we feel not the least surprise at it; but when we can name one subject on which all the world are unanimous, then indeed we may well express as tonishment and wonder, and infer that it must be stamped with ex cellence and perfection ; and such is the character universally con ceded to llyam's matchless clothing ! It may naturally be asked by some, " Why does Hyam maintain such unbounded popularity ?" We gladly reply to this question.— Firstly. His cloths are purchased from the most noted manufac turers in England, and are paid for in cash. Secondly. Having cloths of a first-rate character, he employs cutters of immense talent and experience to cut those materials into the newest style of fashion. Thirdly. The next essential is " good, substantial workmanship," and in this respect llyam's establishment ranks higher than any other house in the kingdom. Fourthly. His clothing is proverbially acknowledged to be " su perior" to any other manufactured, and yet it is sold ffilly 40 per cent. cheaper ! ! Now, these are the reasons why through the dominion, Of " llyam's famed clothes" there's one only opinion ! And that is expressed in a manner so clear, That unbounded success is his portion each year !! L. lIYAM, Tailoring and Outfitting Establishment, 36, Graeechurch street, London. LIST OF PRICES.

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 frequently 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 fro m /o w. ge stion, from whatever ca use arising, that their effects are perma nent. They remove obstructions of the bowels ; act upon the kid neys, stimulating the absorbents to carry off h those fluids whieh m i g ht otherwise terminate in Dropsy. They ave been f oun d of infinite service, both in England and during Dr. Harvey's practice in the East Indies, in preventing and curing the Jaundice ; in passing off Gall Stones and restoring a healthy action to the Liver. Ladles per box. Sold also by Sanger, 150 will find them particularly beneficial both before and after their confinement. These trely excellent Pills are to be procured genuine of Edwards, 67, St. Paul's Church -yard, whose name will be engraved on the Go vernment Stamp- Price la. lid.

The minutes of the last Court were read and confirmed. The Deputy Clerk of the Peace laid before the Court the bills and papers presented to Parliament which may affect the interests of the county, amongst which there is a peti tion from the vestry of the parish of Marylebone to the House of Commons, complaining of the manner in which the County Lunatic Asylum at Hanwell is conducted. Sir P. LAURIE said he understood that it was the intention of Sir James Graham to move that Lord Ashley do form a Committee to investigate the affairs of that Asylum. The memorial was not read, but referred to the Parlia• mentary and Hanwell Asylum Committee. lIANWELL LUNATIC ASYLUM(. A special report of the Committee of Visiting Justices of this Asylum was read. It stated that the number of pauper lunatics in the county had lately increased to an alarming extent, the number of patients having been double the amount during the last ten years. It also referred to the want of sufficient accommodation for the pauper lunatics of the county. • A very warm discussion took place upon the subject. during which Mr. Tulk spoke at considerable length, and alluded to the petition presented to the House of Commons by the vestry of the parish of St. Marylebone, in which they charge the Committee of Visiting .Justices with having acted•injuriously to the interests of the county, by the mode they conduct that establishment, in refusing to receive a certain class of patients sent by the parish of Marylebone; but they (the Committee) had no power to act in the way which that parish desired—namely, that of admitting old and chronic cases, and allowing them to remain iu the asylum. - Several gentlemen addressed the meeting on the same subject. _ _ _ The report was ultimately ordered to be printed and circu lated previous to the next Court day. The reports of the Visiting Justices of the different prisons were read; the remarks contained therein did not exhibit anything of importance, they merely alluded to the health and conduct of the prisoners in the respective gaols, which was generally good. The reports were received. After disposing of some other business, a county rate of three farthings in the pound was made, and the meeting separated. Piano-forte—Mr. LAND, Tickets, 2s.

SHOOTING EXTRAORDINARY. THE LADY AM) HER FIVE CATS.—Yesterday, Frederick Banks, of New-cross, Deptford, master butcher, appealed before Mr. Grove, at the Greenwich Police- court, to answer a summons at the instance of a lady named Comfort Corne lius, residing at the same place, for wilfully shooting five favourite cats, her property. . . . . . . 'The complainant, who was most fashionably attired in deep mourning, deposed that the defendant had shoe all her cats. On the 29th of March he killed three of her cats •, he shot them with a pistol. Witness went to the defendant's house, and asked him why he had acted in such a-diagrace ful way towards her—the poor animals had never done him any harm. The defendant did not deny the cruelty he bad practised, but at once admitted it, and in the rudest possible manner told her that she should "teach her cats to .- keep better company." The defendant shot another of her cats on tie 29th, and one more on the 30th. She heard the tire of the gun or pistol at her back-door, and afterwards heard de fendant's door shut to; and lastly he shot another on the let of April, the poor creature was on the top of her wash-house. She went again to the defendant, who behaved as before, and asked (after acknowledging that he had destroyed the ill fated animals), how many more she had to dispose ot• The defendant had killed one of her neighbour's cats shortly be fore coming to answer complainant. lie used a pistol for the purpose, and the wounds inflicted she could put bar fingers into. Mr. Grove asked the complainant what value she set upon her cats? _ _ . Mrs. Comfort Cornelius said she would not have lost them for a sovereign a piece. She saw the defendant on the Ist of April with the pistol in his band. The defendant denied that he had used a pistol. He ad mitted having told the lady that he had killed the cats; but that was no reason why lie should have done so. The com plainant came in a flame, and was so much excited • and she could not be surprised at it if sob as the cats had annoyed him very much. A feinAle witness, a neighbour, deposed, that she had . . . heard Mr. Banks say that he had shot the cats on the Ist of April, and anotherthe day previous. The defendant said he was annoyed by five cats from one ,ouse, and was not that a seriousnuisance ? Mr. Grove told the defendant he was convicted on his own confession ; he should, therefore, in the present instance, fine him 55., and 2s. costs ; and, in default, commit him for one week to the county gaol. The money was paid immediately, and the parties retired, apparently by no means pleased with the result. SIR. 11. POTTINGER. On Monday the freedom of the city of Edinburgh was ,•onferred upon Sir henry Pottinger. After the Lono PrzovosT had addressed the gallant officer in appropriate terms— Sir H. PorriNoan said—l assure you I feel quite unable to express the high sense I entertain of the honour which I receive by your enrolling me among the citizens of Edin burgh. I trust I need not assure you that I went out to China with a full determination to act as I did at the moment of victory. I had long made up my mind to feel that the people of China were like ourselves, and like people in all other parts of the world, open to kindness, good-will, and persuasion.—(Loud applause.) Upon this p inciple I acted throughout all my proceedings with China up to the last hour. It is very gratifying !Or me to find that I have not only been successful in a►.l that was left me to do by my own Government, but 1 believe I may say, without as suming too much, that 1 have left a very good impression among the Chinese, and that that impression ►s not worn out As an instance of which I may mention, that within tha last fortnight or three weeks I have had letters from China, in which I am led to believe that everything referring to me is the standard by which the Chinese Government wish to con• duct themselves.—( Applause.) As a further proof of the good feeling and kind recollect►on that obtains there, I learn that Peening:, the Chief Commissioner, has sent me his pic ture, which is now on its way to England. I me►►tion these as proofs that what I did has not been forgotten. lam most happy to find that all my proceedings in China have suc ceeded so well, and that they have been honoured with you approbation. I need not say more than express my thanks for the honour you have done me. On all occasions I shall recollect this event as one of the happiest in my - life.— (A pplause.) Sir Henry then shook hands with the members of the town council present, and withdrew amidst the repeated applause of those present. —Scotsman. THE MAYNOOTH GRANT. CAMMUDGE, Arum 17.—At the Senate held this day for the election of librarian, the following requisition to the `ice. Chancellor was circulated " To the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge. " We, the undersigned members of the Senate, request you will take the necessary steps for the adoption of a petition to the Senate against the Bill now under the consideration of Parliament, for the endowment of the Roman Catholic Col lege of Maynooth." • This requisition soon obtained a considerable number of signatures, amongst others those of the following :—G. E. Corrte, Norrisian Professor of Divinity ; James Scholefield, Regius Professor of Greek ; George Spence, LL.D., one of the Caput; James Ilildyard, Fellow and Tutor of Christ's ; Roger Boston, 8.D., Fellow and Tutor of Emanuel; William Bates, Fellow and Lecturer of Christ's ; J. .1. Smith, Fellow and Tutor of Caius; and many others. At eight o'clock the requisition was still in courseof signa ture, and would, in all probability, be presented last night. As it is understood that the whole of the Caput r,re in favour of this step, it is generally believed that there will be no opposition to a grace liting submitted to the .senate, in conformity with the terms of the requisition. ELEmoN car LIBRARIAN.-At three o'clock yesterday, when the Senate adjourned till half-past seven, the numbers were :—For Mr. Power 275 ; for Mr. Smith, 199 ; majority in favour of Mr. Power, 76. The voting was to close at ten o'clock last night. DEATH OF ADMIRAL SIR P. C. H. DURHAM.— The navy has lost another of her brightest ornaments, in the death of Admiral of the Red. Sir Philip Durham, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath. which took place at Naples on the 2d instant, the venerable officer dying in the 83d year of his age. Sir Philip entered the navy in 1777. He was midshipman of the Edgar, 74, Captain John Elliott, which ship formed part of Sir George Rodney's fleet at the defeat and capture of the Spanish Admiral Don Juan de Lanpra. and the relief of Gibraltar in 1780. He was titerwards acting lieutenant and signal officer of the Victory, 104, flag-ship of Rear Admiral Kempenfelt, and followed that gallant officer on his removing into the Royal George. He continued in that ship Auf;., the fatal catastrophe which befel her at Spit head, August 29, 1782. He latterly commanded the Defence. 74, in which ship be took a most active part in Sir Robert Calder's action with the combined fleets of France and Spaiu, on the 22d of July, and at the ever memorable battle, o f Trafalgar on the 21st of October, 1805. Subsequently he hoisted a broad pendant as commodore commanding the third division of the Mediterranean fleet, and ‘ was present at the destruction of two French line-of-battle ships, near Fron t ignan. Oct. 26, 1809, He attained the rank of Rear-Admiral 31st of July, 1810, and was employed in the North Sea in 1811. His name appeared in the London Gazette in 1798 ; twice in 1805, and in 1814. He received both honorary and pecu niary rewards, and had a medal g ranted to him fo r the battle of I rafalgar. He was made a Vice - Admiral on the 1 2th of August, 1819, and full Admiral on the 22d of July, 1830 and on the 17th of November of that year, he was nominated a G.C.B. The last service of this distinguished officer was that of Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, where he struck FIRE one o,c A loc T k 7 a d A e r s t P r u t G t -vWe fire L b . — r k T e his flag, in November, 1 83 9 .

Th e inmates fortunat el yescaped by: the back of the premises in safety, but in a atAte of nudity. So rapidly did the fire extend from fi;or to floor that in less than a quarter of an hour from the / time of the outbreak the whole of the contents, floors, and, ro o f were inflatnes; and the adjoi n i ng prem i ses, occupied 1 ' v Messrs. H. and T. Sarpas, mast and block makers,a n d t' Ate Waterman's Arms o • pposite, occupied by Mr. Crawford,, were in great danger. In a very short time the cagitve from Shadwell, and the brigade stations of Wellcl - ()PA-50 . .. Aare, Watling-street, Jeffery-square, and the West of En lend were upon the spot. The water from the mains of the 7C:flat London works being very plentifully supplied, copiotrs streams were poured upon the blazing pile, but the fire could not be stopped till the roof fell in. By two o'clock the fire was so far subdued that all danger of its further extension was at an end. The damage to the surrounding property was considerable, and the Royal Oak, with its contents, is entirely destr_o_yed. HUNGERFORD SUSPENSION BRIDGE.— Yesterday notices were issued by the Directors of this bridge, stating that the opening of it was postponed till the let May. SUICIDE THROUGH BODILY AFFLICTION.—Last evening Mr. W. Payne held an inquest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of Thomas Abbott, aged fifty-eight, a stone-mason. During the past three months the deceased had suffered much from bodily disease, which had prevented him from following his usual employment.. This preyed. ' upon his mind. On Sunday morning last, about half-past three o'clock, on his son entering his bed-room, he found his father sitting on the bed side with a wound in his throat, which he had inflicted with a razor. He was removed to the hospital, where he expired on Wednesday last. Verdict, "Temporary insanity." EARLY LUXURIES.—There was a profuse supply of cherries yesterday morning in Covent-garden mariiet. ; Strawberries, hot-house grapes, pine-apples, and cucumbers, were also abundant. The Hon. Sir James Parke, one of the judges at • our late assizes, of the , has made an order upon the Lords • Treasury for the payment of 25 guineas, as a reward to Mr_ Stephen English, for his services in detecting the perpe trators of the tires in this county.—lpstt: • ch Journal. GREENOCK ELECTION. On Tuesday, the day fixed by the sheriff for the nomina tion of a person to supply the place of Mr. Wallace, no less than three candidates appeared, viz. :—Mr. Walter Baine, Mr. Alexander Dunlop, advocate, and a Mr. M'Crae, a Chartist preacher. Mr. Robert Steele, ship carpenter, pro posed Mr. Baine, seconded by Mr. James Stuart, merchant. Mr. Alexander Dunlop was proposed by Mr. BPllvain, shoemaker, seconded by Mr. John Gray, merchant. Mr. John Neilson Nailor proposed Mr. M'Crae, seconded by Mr. Moodie, cow feeder. Each of the candidates addressed the meeting. Mr. Baine, who is a churchman, will support the Government grant to Maynooth, but a persen who is decidedly hostile to that measure must be had, and there• fore Mr. Alexander Dunlop, the great champion of the Free Church party, has been brought forward at the twelfth hour. Both are Whigs—both are free-traders; although, from the speeches, we are inclined to think that Mr. Baine will go much further in that direction than Mr. Dunlop. Probably, it is not unreasonable that such should be the case, seeing that Mr. Baine has all his life been a gentle man very largely engaged in mercantile pursuits, while, on the other hand, Mr. Dunlop is a lawyer, and his studies naturally have been turned in a different direction. Then comes Mr. M'Crae, whose address was more like a sermon from a Baptist preacher than a disquisition, as he evidently intended it should be, on political economy. Abuse of the Whigs was his alpha and omega. The Sheriff declared the show of hands to be in favour of Mr. M'Crae. Messrs. Baine and Dunlop then demanded a poll, but Mr. M'Crae declined to go to the poll. The Sheriff fixed Thursday for taking the poll, which was to commence at eight o'clock, and end at four. REPRESENTATION Of WEST KENT. A meeting of Conservative electors was held at the Star Hotel, Maidstone, yesterday, Captain Marsham, R.N., in the chair, when it was unanimously resolved, " That as Colonel Austen had expressed his willingness to come forward upon the present occasion, this meeting deter mines to support him by every available means so as to secure his election." Of the Gallant Colonel, the CHAIRMAN said he was a man devotedly attached to the Established Church, an earnest and indefatigable friend to the farmer, and a supporter of all those principles which were best calculated to advance the interests of the electors of the county of Kent, and the public at large. Colonel AUSTEN afterwards addressed the meeting, and ex pressed his determined opposition to the grant to Maynooth, which in his opinion had been begun in error, had been abused, and ought rather to be suspended than increased. Sir W. B. RIDDEL then read the resolution of Lord Holmes dale's Committee in London :—" That Lord Holmesdale, being in compliance with a requisition signed by upwards of 1,300 electors, and with the promises of support of a numerous and influental meeting held at Maidstone, declared a candi date for the western division of the county of Kent, and no circumstances having since occurred to raise a substantial doubt as to his success, this Committee regret that the cen tral Committee should have arranged with Captain King to substitute Colonel Austen for Lord Holmesdale, for the pur pose of opposing the Government on the Maynooth grant, without sufficient demonstration on the part of the con stituency in general." The feeling of discontent expressed by Lord Holmesdale's Committee at Captain King's and the central Committee's decision will not die away, and the Liberals should be pre pared. The day of nomination is fixed for this day week, the 25th inst. [ADVERTISEMENT. HYGEIAN MAN IFESTO. If doctors can (as they hold out to the world) prove that such poisons as prussic acid, arsenic, 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 Fo before Parliament for extra ordinary and most unjust demands—such as to compel the public to employ them nokns volens.

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 case, 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 advertiement, which frequently appears in our paper. DEATH OF MR.

It appeared from the statement sent to the Coro ner that Mr. Farrell was at work in his garden when he sud denly fell down and died. his death is much regretted. PUBLICATION S. THE WANDERING JEW.
