MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN MEDICA T SCIENCE. ~ Vineet veritas et prevalebit " FEAVER'S INFALLIBLE v.,,IVIBROCA TION for GOUT, RHE U 'LATISM RHEUMA TIC GOUT, TIC DOULER. I- OUX, LUMBAGO, SCIA TICA, RHEUMATIC F v- VER, QUINSEY, &e., is TM* for the first time inte:iduced to the natice of the public; al though in the pro',.ent age of imposture it is difficult to put for ward a truth, 'oovrever important, that shall not be liable to be confeurle:: with the daily empirical puffs that are obtruded on the public eye. This consideration has for a long time deterred the proprietor of Feaver's Embrocation from advertising it. Feeling, however, a thorough conviction of the incalculable be neflts it will confer on mankind, he conscientiously believes that, by withholding it longer, he would be wanting in the com mon feelings of humanity towards hii fellow-creatures, and or, duty towards himself. He, therefore, nu longer besitea;_ s t o adept this mode of making this wonderful I-erneJ.l generally' k n ows, that the afflicted may have an opinen, the blessings it otters them, This s .:yreffie was revealed to the proprietor's father twelve Ye as ago, who then cured him self of a very obstinate •,ase a of inflammatory gout of thirty years' standing, end, confined to h anity of enjoying :... although on that occasion he had been - -; :a ned-room for two months, he was enabled to walk t - so miles within six hours after the application. Since th e period thousands, 11.ora the noble to the peasant, have been tared by it. In short, it is no exaggeration to assert that it has never been ktewn to fail in effecting a cure, where the erepre tor's instructions have been attended to. Its extraordinary efficacy has been for years tested by several medical gentlemen of distinguished eminence, who declare it to be the greatest discovery every me ale its medical science. The superiority it possesses over every other remedy consists in its being an in noxious vegetable compound, in the perfect security with which it may he used (outwardly) by the most afflicted and timid patients and in the certainty of its being a sound, safe, I and radial exterminator of the alsover-natned maladies in all 1 their terrible and ageniting forms.

TRIP FROM MANCHESTER TO IsfORM. ANTON. On Monday last the Directors of tais it,jlwAy in : vited a few friends to accompany them in an experita7at I tal trip along the line from the Manclietter station to the Normanton station, on the North Midland Bane, a distance of fifty miles. Our renders are aware that the portion of this line from Manchester to Littleborough was opened on the 3d of July, 1838 ; and then another portion (inektdin ten or eleven miles' transit on the North Midland Linn; hetet needs to Normanton) was opened from Leeds to Ilebden bridge, a distance of about 37 miles, on the sth of October last !awing only a distance of about rine miles unopened, viz. the pdtiee from Littleborough, through the Summit Tunnel and Tudmorden, to Hehden Bridge. Of course, therefore, the objects of attention on Monday were those new par titans of the line, especially that stupendous work of hu man skill and industry, the Summit Tunnel. The mare interest was felt about this tunnel, from the recent acci dent to a small portion of it, by the pressure of the surrounding earth or rock, causing portions of the in verted arch, that part of the tunnel upon which the rails are laid, and which is covered by earth or " ballast" to fall inwards and upwards ; a circumstance respect ing which the most exaggerated reports were current last week in Manchester, it being a part of the proposed arrangements for Monday, that the Directors and their friends should walk through the tunnel from one end to the other, by torch light, so that they might judge for themselves of the nature of the work as a whole, and of the extent of this accident, which, in fact, is °nit; un fortunate as delaying the opening of the fine throughnut tor three weeks or a month,—there was considerehle in• terest manifested on the part of the gentlemen. Direc tors, and others, who formed the party on Monday morning. Amongst the gentlemen assembled on the nine, at the= 7 . Mineheitei , station, we observed henry flouldsworth, Esq., Chairman of the Board of Mee ) ; tors ; William Entwisle, Esq., Deputy Chairman ; bert Gill, Esq., Managing Director ; and the following gentlemen :—Messrs. Samuel Brooks, Brooks, Jen., John Burton, John Hoyle, T. Broadbent, Barron, John Smith, (of Piccadilly), J. C. Harter, William Herter, John Hargreaves, James Simpson, Leo Sehuster, B Loyd, Jun., Hou!dsworth, Jun., Heaton (a Director of the North Midland line). Smith (of Deanstoun), and other gentlemen. Amongst those efficient' connected .with the Company, were Mr. George Stephenson and Mr. Gooch, the Engineers ; Mr. drackenburv, Solici tor ; Mr. Jellicorse, Secretary ; Captain Laws, R.N., Superintendent of the line ; J. Stephenson, B. Dickin son. Mould, Young, Forsyth, &c. The party started in carriages attached to the ordi nary nine-o'clock train, drawn by the Junction engine ; all the engines on the line being named after the plsces of its termini and principal stations, the rivers it crosses, &c. The train left the station at six minutes after nine, being signalled to start by a boatswain's whistle, in stead of the ringing of a bell, as is the usual custom on railways. In twelve minutes the train had reached Mills hill, the station for Oldham and Middleton, and in seven minutes more the place where the Heywood branch ie to diverge to that place, a little beyond where the line crosses the canal. Here the train abated speed to allow a cursory view of the works for this branch line, which are in rapid progress. An embankment is already formed to some extent, near the point of junc tion ; and waggons laden with earth were traversing the temporary rails on this embankment. The length of this branch will be about a mile and half. The train reached Rochdale atetwentpeight minutes to ten, or in about twenty six minutes from Manchester ; and arrived at Littleborough at eighteen minutes to ten. Thence, haring detached the ordinary carriages, the special train proceeded along the line (not yet opened to the public), to the mouth of the Summit Tunnel, a distance from the Littleborough station of about a mile and a half, or fifteen miles from Manchester ; and here the Company alighted at seven minutes to ten o'clock. THE SUMMIT TUNNEL, even at its mouth, presented a very striking picture. Amidst piles of crags, whose face and form have been altered by the labours of men and the blasting of gun powder, rises a fine, massive arch of masonry, of ndmir able workmanship and elegant proportions ; approach ing, perhaps, to the Moorish arch in its form, which is elliptical, but the crown of the arch is formed of the end and not the side of the ellipsis. Within this arch were upwards of fifty men, labourers and excavators, each provided with a torch or lantern ; and the glare of light already revealed to the approaching party, the interior proportions of this extraordinary subterranean viaduct. The party were received by Mr. John Ste phenson, the sole contractor for this great work, Mr. B. Dickinson, and other parties connected with it, and nnesn ee. e n. eeinee •t.... t_ - iiitty'eaverE — I hose To taro passed throng - F - 111e tun nel at Edge Hill, on the Liverpool line, or other smaller works of this kind, can form but a faint conception of this splendid construction. We are unable to ascer taia at this moment, the diameter ef either the E lge Hill, the Kilsby, or the Thames Tunnel ; but so far as we can judge, the Summit Tunnel exceeds them in this respect as it does in length. The Edge Hill Tunnel is about a mile and a quarter in length ; the Kilsby Tun. nvl 2,398 yards, or 342 yards short of a mile and a half ; the Summit Tunnel is 2,869 yards in length, or 211 yards short of a mile and three-quarters in length ; ex ceeding that at Kilsby by 471 yards, or upwards of a quarter of a mile. From the rails to the crown of the I arch, the height of the Summit Tunnel is 21 feet 6 inches ; and 'llia loftiness, together with the Y9nti!ation secured by means of the various shafts, and the gerterel dryness of the interior, will make this tunnel one of the most pleasant, in every respect, that can be traversed. There is no difficulty of breathing, no sensation of chill or damp ; and at night, but for the lights carried with the trains, it would. not be easy for a passenger to dis tinguish between the interior of the tunnel and the open air. Perhaps this is a convenient place for add ing a few particulate illustrative of the extent of this undertaking, the ;about and materials expended upon it, the rate of its progress, &c. The veetinel shafts were commenced towards the end of 18137 ; but the fitst brick of the tunnel was laid at No. Id shaft, by James Wood, Esq.; then Chairman of the Board of Directors, oti the 17th AUgilsoB3B. The last brick of the tun nel was laid on Wednesday the Ot.h instant ; by Mr. B. Dickinson, the Resident 1 1 .ingineette so that the wend has bean entirely constructed within a IttenijOrl of two yettti tind ft.fnr fri9n.ths. Flom the nature °raft , - pa32e., a depth below the stir try through which a face of from 200 to 430 feet (trO:FrfAd at a level a hove th e tunnel by ate Rochdale Canal), it vitV,':,ocessary to sink eft7Aitqc shafts, fourteen in number". The relative depths of tilde 31m:its are as follow :—No. 0, f)3 l feet, No. 1, 62 feet ; No. fi e 110 feet ; No. 2, 117 feet; No. 3, 209 feet ; N 0.31, 230 feet S No. 4, 228 feet ; N o . 168 feet ; No. 6, 213 feet ; No. 7 (the longest shaft), ji.jd feet; No. 8, 296 feet ; No. 9, 236 feet ; No. 10, 109 feet, (a trial shaft between these numbers is not included); No. 12, 6`2 feet. These shifts give an aggregate length of vertical shafting of 2,48'2 feet The diameter of these shafts is ten feet, The total length of the driftway executed in the work is 3,080 lineal yards. Of these shafts, Nos. 1 and 12 were worked with gins ; the others, by stationary en gines on the bill at the top of the shafts. These sta tionary engines, 13 in number, bad an aggregate perrer equal to that of 202 horses, as ordinarily computed in reference to the stoant-engine. Besides these engines, about 130 horses, on an average, have been employed. The number of hands engaged on the tunnel has varied from 800 id 1,5100, the average being nearly 1,000. In the formation of the bannel, twenty-three millions of bricks have been used (eleltilltely of ashlar stones and Pierre -pointing), and eight thousatid tans of Roman cement, the whole of the tunnel having been set with this cedie•nt, instead of mortar. The average rate of progress pef month hes been 127 lineal yards of the tunnel. In One month (December, 1839) as much as 202 lineal ye,rde wets completed. We must here digress d little, to place on record a brief account of an admirable inatitartion, in connection with this great work ; an example worthy of imitation in all works of magnitude. In August, 1839, Mr, John Stephenson, the contractor, in conjunction with Mr. B. Dickinson, the resident engineer, established it sort of sick and burial benefit society, for the men employed or. the work, the subscription to which, tat 61 weekly p e r man, amou nted to no less that: 2,0241.35. 11d. The R a ilway Company and Mr. Stephenson commenced this fund by liberal donations ; the services of a surgeon were secured to the members in ell cases of accident or sickness ; and of these, during the progress of the works, there have been 1,507 instances in which the members have received m edical or sur g ical attention and care, as well as support from the funds of the society. By its rules, an allowance of 10s. a week was made to ever y member unable to attend his wor k ; and upon the surgeon making a representation that he was not in very comfortable lodgings, the patient was removed to an hos pital provided expressly for the purpose, where he re ceived every comfort and attention. A secretary was employed to attend to the sick members; and in any case of death, all the funeral expenses were defrayed by the club ; and if the man left a w idow and family, they received a sum from the society's funds, according to the nature of their circumstances, but, we understand, in no case less than 151. After stating these facts, it is almost needless to add that this institution has proved a great blessing to the workmen, who beleng to a class generally but ill prepared to meet a season of sickness, and its cot comitant needs and privations. About seventy houses have been erected by the Company for dwellings for the work people, who have also built for themselves about 100 huts on the Summit, above the tunnel. But to return to the tunnel. We have stated that To be had at all the Libraries. Just published, with Ten Engravings, 6s. cloth. ON the NEW OPERATION for the CURE of SQUINTING. • By E. W.

From the outer rail on each aide to the wall, i st tt space of three feet eight inches ; but, as the wall re cedes to the point whence the upper arch springs, the ere is a space breast-high, of full heir feet, which gi, .es ample room for a person to keep clear of any passe fg train. Two lines of rails are laid for about a toile at id a quarter within the tunnel, nearest the north end ; remaininghalf mile being already laid for the most part wits z one of the two lines. These rails, like those on the' other parts of the line, are of malleable iron, of.s6llm weight per lineal yard. They arc laid on wooden sleepers, by means of stronra cast-iron chairs. The sleepers are of good sound larch ; and, for greater security, they are laid at intervals of two feetisix inches, instseare of the usual one of three feet. The party, eseurted by the numerous . hotly of torele beasele,entered the tunnel; and many gentlemen ex—; pressed !'heir surprise to fad it so lofty and spaciouee Even if the t zeonel were in a perfectly straight line, itsf; watill be imposstNe to see from one end to the other,..f owing (offs« gradient `.eine: about forty feet from co& • to end, while tli height ,;' the tunnel, from the rails, is not quite twenty-fro ; but, 'a addition to this, there. ls is a slight curve at each end of the tunnel, for a. • length of about four chains, which, at. 6, -qt entering it , prevents the visitor from obtainiag, even by tc`ren -3 :g ht, an extensive vicar of this remarkable work. This. c.rirve. having been passed, however, the effect was very sti-k" nig ; the long and spacious arched vista, seen distinct. ‘ , ' 1 !: by the glare of the torches in advance of the party, pre sented ‘' none of those points of discomfort which persets are apt to suggest to themselves in connection with tunnels. In the place of walls green with damp, or dripping from a thousand apertures, the brickwork, except in two or three places, through its whole length, was smooth, dry, end, in every respect, resembling the inside well of a house before the bricks arc covered by plaster. 'there is no coating of plaster or cement in the tunnel ; and, throughout, the bricks or stones forming the walls and rod were everywhere visible. The company passed under several shafts, the upper apertures of which were closed; and, finding that their progress was in no way impeded by collapsed walls, or other result of the late accident, gentlemen might be heard inquiring of Mr. George Stephenson, Mr. Gooch, or others in the engineering department, where the ac cident had happened. At length, atter a distance of somewhat less than half a mile had been traversed, from the mouth of the tunnel, the party Name to the place, which is between shafts Nos. 2 and :3. All the effects visible arc the unevenness of the ground in places ; and, from the " ballast " being forced upwards, the culvert hAs also been displaced, and hence small pools of water are formed ; but the whole of the walls and roof, from the level of the ground upwards, were as firm and as perfect here as in any other part of the tunnel. As a matter of precaution, strong beams had been placed across the arch at a height of five or six feet above the rails, to support the sides of the tunnel ; but there was not the slightest appe7arance or apprehension ef their giving way. The brick-work did not show the least warp ing or deviation from the peculiar curve which forms the visible arch of the tunnel ; and there seemed to be a general feeling of satisfaction at finding the accident of so trivial a character. It seems that here the invert is so built as to form a skewback for the spring of the upper arch ; but this had partly been made to rise from toe materiel in witch tire excavation was made, viz. a sort of blue slide, which was deemed eufliciently hard and firm in itself to render it needless to build the invert of very great strength at this point. Experience has proved, however, that this shale, when subjected to the influence of the atmosphere, is but a treacherous sup pert ; it has beets c,:nvcrt,d into a sort. of quick-lime, and, falling away, hes left the lip of the i n vort I l s ' Y - 117r.l e° 1 has caused the accident. In consequence of having the shale to work against, the men, in the crewion of this part of the tumid, proceeded more rapidly than in any other portion of the work ; relying on the strength of the shale.—After Mr. Stephenson and Mr. Gooch had explained the cause of the fall to the party assem bled on the spot, the torch-light enabling the visitors to see every brick in the arch,—Mr. Gill, the Managing Director, addressing Mr. Houldsworth, as Chairman of the Board, said he hoped that these explanations and the state of things woeld be deemed satisfactory, as Mr. Stephenson and Mr. Gooch wished every one present perfectly to understand the nature of the occurrence.— Mr. George Stephenson then said, he wished particu larly that every one would examine minutely the arch above, where they would not perceive the slightest. I fracture. All that would have to he done would be to take vp end rebuild about eighty yards of the invert, below the level of the ground. Several of the Directors having examined the place thoroughly, and asked for and received explanations, expressed themselves per fectly satisfied ; anal the party resumed their onward route. A little beyond this place, the company came to the platform at the end of the last junction, where the last brick was keyed into the arch of the tunnel on the 0:11 inst. In several places a little further, junctions were seen, where, portions of brick-work having been fougi scarcely strong enough, recourse had been had to smart lengths of Lit stone fir materials, of which to construct a pnrt?tiw , - 2f the wall froth the ground, to a height of six or eight fee, by what is called " paw-pointing" (a corruption of vierre or stone-pointing). Passing under shaff No. 3i. which is _aid to be the hardest brick work of any pest of the tunnel, the company come to shaft No. 4, front which to the north end of the tun nel, a ail:avec . of about a mile and a quarter, the per manent way i';s nriade, and the lines of rail laid ; there not being more than likkit 300 yards, in which the per miitierA rails have yet to be hid. In their progress through he tunnel, the party Cceasionalir came to a small spar carried across the tunnel, and were told that it was used to obtain; I,be lines for laying the rails, a limp being suspended front the centre of the spar. One point observation and surprise was, that, con sidering the whole of the tunnel to hats been formed in short lengths of brick-work of 12 or 18 feet in length each, and that in many instances two parties of t en w ere working from different s hafts, towards the me point,—the :junctions should have been brought so true, as to vary in extreme cases not more than CME , to three inches from the line, while in most instances they were quite true. A stage was crec:ed under the deep shaft No. 7, through which the workmen were sending down ballast for the completion of the ground, within the invert. No. 8 shaft has been filled up, as it will not be needed after the opening of the line ; being useful merely as a working shaft, and not required for the purposes of ventilation. From No. 10 shalt a slight curve continues to the end of the tunnel. The shaft No. 12 is also blocked up. Near this end of the tunnel we observed a portion of the walls built of ashlar stone, for a height of about twelve feet from the rails ; this portion of the work being found to requi re g reater solidity, from the nature of the material excavated. At length, after having spent an hour in walking through and examin ing the tunnel , th e p art y , at ten minutes to eleven o'clock, e:nerged from its northern mouth, into a spacious sort of rotunda, if that name can be applied t o an elliptical open shaft of very large dimensions, being sixty feet b y thirt y feet, inside measure. It is built wholly of brick ; its wails probably thirty five to forty feet in height, and guarded above by a parapet of about six feet in height ; peering over which, at the visitors below, were a few of the workmen and labourers. Before leaving the Summit 'Funnel, we may just state, that there is, we believe, some intention on the part of the Directors to establish a telegraph from one end to the other, which will probably be a pneu matic telegraph ; by which means, intelligence may be communicated from one mouth to the other, of the ap- ' p ro ach, entrance , and e xit of trains ; with a view to prev enting any danger : and we understand t hat an other regulation to this end will be made, of great im portance, viz., that no train will be admitted on t h e sa me line of rails till the previous train has been ' sig nalled to have quitted the tunnel at the oppo s i te end. At present, it is not intended to make any abatement , of speed in pass i ng throu g h the tunnel ; and a trai will therefore be . not . more than three minutes and a half or . four minutes in passing through. The trains, on emergi ng from . the north end of the tunnel, into the a second short . tunnel, about seventy y ards i elliptic shaft, will immediately afterwards plunge ' int°, the same widt h . as the Summit Tunn el, but measuriag only 17 . feet 6 inches from the rails to the crown of the arch, in consequence of length, o f the River Calder flowing through the valley above it. The company found in waiting in the elli p tical shaft a special train, drawn by the engine Leeds, made by Mem. Shepherd an d T o dd.

The village .',ad church/ of .Mytholin are next passed, and a small ta.nnel tra versed ; and the line then passes the village of , Hebden Bridge, at which there is a station, distant foie - miles from Todmoraleu, and seven or eight miles Leans the Summit Tunnel, Here the still unopened portion of tke line ends ; tide being the place where coachc..g wait to coevey passenger; front Leede forward to Litticbo rough, where the rail erety again receives them. The other portion of the line has boen previously ale- scribed. Beyond Hebden Bridge, which station axe party left at three minutes past twelve o'cainek, the line passes to the right of the ancient Rept() ustall. The Sowerby 'funnel, GOO yards in length, was t. reversed in less than a minute ; anti the train passed the Sowerby Bridge Station, 4 miles from ilelelen Bridge, where st.nd a very neat station-house and offices, built in a sort of English style, of ornamental half-timbered erec tion, and also a spacious shed for goods. The turnpike mold and river Calder are crossed here by the reifavav, on a haedsoote viaduct of six arches. Here the rivers Grid, r and Hebble meet end unite, anal having both that navigation, ;lie Roci-defe Canal, and the railway, passing through ife Sowerlay .3ridge is expected to he- - come a place of some traportai. - ce.

The railway ~tarn ovnses the canal and the river ; and the party soon nettrweards passed Brighouse, another principal stat.on, six in des iron) Sowerby Bridge. The line next passes to the right of Kirkleer, where Sir George At - tannage has a seat, arid where, it. is said, Robin Hood's remains were interred ; and, again crossbw. the Gadder, passes over a turnpike road at Cooper Bridge, at a !mita distant (by the turnpike) about twelve miles front Leeds, ant / four from Huddersfield. The line, next runs by Mi r . field, again crosses the Calder, amid almost immediately afterwards rceresses that. river, on a viaduct of IS arches As a striking proof of the lilt-moo; character of the lines of water communication near which the hue pursues the g reater part of its course, and which it has so often to cross and recross, thereby considera bl y inca euslog the cost of . its formation, hr the items of bridg es a'e viaducts—we may aneution that the railway crosses the Rochdale Canal seven times, and passes over the l iver Galilee, and its connected line of navigation, „e .fewer than 22 times ; so that about 30 bridges ;IA viaducts are rendered necessary to carry the line over fliese two water-ways. The train reached the Dewsbury stetioo, 61 miles from Brighouse, at 18 minutes to one o'clock,. passing Thorlaill, which lies at a little distance to the right. Tha Horbury and Ossett station (three miles from the Dewsbury one) was passed at eleven minutes to one o'clock ; and, immediately afterwards, the train passed through the 1-lorbury tunnel.2oo yards in length ; on emerging from which it was apparent that. the :ail way, having traversed the hilly district, was entering a more fertile, open, champaigne country, where agricul ture had everywhere imprinted the marks of her labour• and success. The line traverses a portion of the park. of Thornes, the residence of Benjamin Gaskel t , Esq.,. and, next. passing the church of Thornes, is conducted on the viaduct over Kirkgate, to the Wakefield statiats (four miles from Horberv), which the train reacbe& throe minutes before one o'clock. After a short-stay here, the train pursued its way, and, crossing the Cal- der by one of the numerous bridges over that river, soma ~... . reached the place where, by its junction -with the Aire,, it assumes the name of the Aire and Gelder Navigation. A little further, the Manchester and Leeds and North Midland Lines (the latter lying south, or to the right, of the Leeds Line) are seen gradually converging to et junction. When first seen, the North Midland is at to higher level by a few feet than the Manchester and!. Leeds Line, and the latter rises to this level ; and the two lines, after running side by side for nearly a mile. form a juncture near the village of Warmfield. abort a . mile S.W. of Normanton. The station at Normantoss, t)?, miles from Wakefield, 30•al from Todmorden, 30 frcrza Manchester, and 10 from Leeds,—was reached by a. quarter past one o'clock. This being the extent of the excursion, the company alighted ; and their notice was called to the excavations in progress for the foundations of a large station-house or botwes, adequate to the joint or separate requirements of the three railway lines, — the Manchester and Leeds, the North Midland, and the York and North 'Midland (dvii'.lb last enters the North Midland about a nOe N.E. ef Normanton.)
