The Worlr: wleich is now presented to the public is the result of very exteimie d experience its a class of diseases and affec t►ons, which. fe) • some unaccountable reason have been either altogether over . looked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by • the cl dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of thest • affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the tern fie consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirs •ly out of place in an advertisement.

He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate -mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any a, his young charges, what the real cause of such attack may b‘ t, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient si ate.

(From the Scotsman.) Among the many interesting matters discussed at the late meeting of the British Association in Glasgow, we venture to say that there were none of more im mediate practical value to the country at large, than the views developed in the mechanical section, by M. Vignoles and Mr. Joseph Mitchell, engineers, regard ing the more economical methods of constructing rail ways. The discussions on these topics included the de portment of bridges, curves, and gradients, and they bear so directly on the improvement of countries in the situation of the Highlands, and other less populous districts of Scotland, that we think it our duty to invite to this subject the particular attention of our readers. With regard to bridges, both Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Vignoles fully concurred in the opinion that substantial timber bridges, to last thirty or forty years, and ca pable of being renewed without interruption to the com munication, could be constructed at less than half the cost usually expended on bridges by Railway Compa nies. Mr. Mitchell was enabled to verify this opinion by a number of examples from his own practice as engi neer to the Commissioners for Highland Roads and Bridges, and these instances were so completely in point as to be conclusive on this question, From the factslerought forward regarding curves in railways, it was demonstrated that the very large circuits (hitherto thought necessary in order to avoid sharp turn ings), viz., curves having the radius of a mile, are not indispensable ; the curve corresponding to a radius even of 500 feet being shown to be perfectly safe and practi cable ; and thus a far greater choice of 'surface would be secured with the certainty of an immense reduction of expense. 'IN . -atk4et. -of. gradients, or the degree of acclivity or steepness which attam'earrireges-eadlipmatie - to , as.. cend, was, however, the most important topic discussed, involving, as it does, most part of the difficulties con nected with railway communication. It is quite appa rent that if steam carriages can be made to proceed on such acclivities as are usual on common roads, little more is necessary than to lay down rails on levels not much dissimilar to those of our present lines of road, thereby avoiding to a certain extent the enormous ex pense of tunnels, deep cuttings, and long winding cir cuits. Until recently, the established doctrine seems to have been, that a rise of one foot in 330, or six teen feet in the mile, is as much as steam carriages can be made to surmount with advantage. This is so very gentle an ascent as to render the chance of ob taining railways in poor countries, and in countries hav ing such features as the greater part of Scotland, almost hopeless. Mr. Vignoles explained to the British Asso ciation, that by lessening the load the engines are now made to proceed at the required rates of speed on acclivities of forty feet in the mile ; and several rail ways have latbly been laid out with gradients on this scale. The Sheffield and Manchester Railway, and the eastern ten miles of the Newcastle and Carlisle, are ex amples. But Mr. Mitchell was enabled to state a fact that had come under his own observation, which opens up applications of the railway system far more exten sive than we have hithero been enabled to anticipate. He stated that, on the Linlithgow and Slarnaunan Railway, he had witnessed on a steep part of the line, intended to be wrought by a stationary engine, the ascent of a locomotive with tender and five loaded waggons on an acclivity of 1 in 22, or '250 feet in the mile. The degree of speed was indeed comparatively small, being only four or five miles in the hour. But as such steep acclivities are, in almost all cases, of very limited length, the difference on the whole rate of speed in a long line is nut thereby materially af fected. It is not possible, we think, to over-rate the importance of such a fact as this, in its bearing on the extension of railways—proving, as it does conclusively, that railways may be formed in the less level and more irregularly surfaced districts at probably one-third part of the rate of expenditure hitherto regarded as indis pensable ; and, in particular, such facts open up to the Highlands and more remote counties of Scotland the prospect of being enabled to avail themselves of this rapid channel of communication, so soon as the lines connecting England and the capital of Scotland shall be in such a state of progress as to render their extension to the North an object of immediate interest. Even the country from Perth to Inverness, which may be re garded as perhaps the most difficult in Scotland, would in this way be quite a practicable field for a railway ; the gradients in it, by a recent survey for improving the mail road in that direction, being tixed in their ascents at one in thirty to the valley of the Spey, where the ground is almost level for thirty or forty miles. The saving of expense which the facts elicited at the Association ex hibit, would necessarily, in such circumstances, be im mense. The cost of railways has hitherto ranged from 4,0001. to 50,0001. a-mile. The London and Birming ham was above the: higher. sum.- There is one in Cumberland nod one in Ireland as low as 4,000/. ; and the Dundee and Arbroath cost 7,000/. In Ame rica and Belgium the expenditure on useful, well-paying lines is, however, much lower, averaging from 1,5001. to 12,0001., although in America the price of labour is one•thiid to one-half more than in England. The Saratoga Railway, in America, cost only 1,5001. a mile for the whole line. But, following the system advo cated by Mr. Vignoles and Mr. Mitchell, particularly bearing in view the important facts stated by the latter gentlewar, proving, as they do, how much has yet to be known of the locomotive engine, a far lower rate of expenditure than any hitherto found available in this country, may now be contemplated as perfectly sufficient to ensure success. MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAIL- WAY. COMPLETION OF 'THE SUMMIT TUNNEL. It is our pleasing duty to record that on Wednesday the last brick of the last junction length of that great undertaking, the Summit Tunnel on the Manchester and Leeds Railway, was keyed in by Barnard Dickin son, Esq., the resident engineer, whO was presented with a silver trowel for the purpose—the gift of the inspectors and sub-contractors on the works—by John Stephenson, Esq., contractor. Previously to the ap pointed hour, the spacious tunnel presented an imposing appearance. Gentlemen of the first respectability, cc companied by numbers of ladies, were seen with lighted torches advancing towards the place to witness the ce remony of the completion of this great work. Precisely at the hour of twelve o'clock at noon, Mr. Stephenson, accompanied by his manager, Mr. George Mould, in company with Mr. Dickinson and several other gentle men, ascended the platform erected for the occasion. The_ faring of the cannon being suspended, and the ac clamations:of the multitude being silenced, Mr. Stephen son addressed Mr. Dickinson in the following terms : Sir, It is a duty which I am respectfully solicited to fulfil, to present you on this occasion with a trowel, for the purpose of finishing this great and . important work. I can assure you, Sir, it is with feelings of a very peculiar description that I take any part in these pro ceedings. I am, however, proud to witness this memo rable hour, and congratulate you on the very comfort able thought of having overcome the difficulties of this work, and having brought it to so successful an issue. Having been connected most deeply with the undertak ing, I can bear my testimony to the readiness with which you have at all times, and especially in seasons of pecu liar difficulty, rendered your valuable aid and assistance to extricate therefrom, which, under any other circum stances but those of united skill and perseverance, would have been next to insurmountable. These sentiments are fully borne out by my relative, Mr. Mould, whom you have bad regularly with you, and whom I have card again and again say, that, in any other hands but yours, the pleasu;e we this day feel would have been pro longed to a much later period. I think, Sir, I have little more to add relative tothe pt ogress of the works, and their rapid completion : this I leave in other hands. It but remains for me, in the name of the inspectors and sub contractors, to do myself the pleasure of presenting you with the silver trowel for the purpose of finishing your long-cultivated desire.—(Here Mr. Stephenson pre sented the handsome trowel to Mr. Dickinson. It is got up in the most superb style, bearing an engraving of the elevation of the tunnel front, crest, and inscrip. Lion.) Mr. Stephenson continued : Long may you live to possess it, not only as a token of the difficulties of the undertaking which you will this day finish, but also as a token of our united respect for your kind and invalu able aid, and our esteem for your friendship. I have only to add, that, when you key in the last brick, you , will be sure to take care and not waste the cement. [This last clause was added by Mr. Stephenson in that I free and candid manner for which he is so remarkable.] Mr. Dickinson then completed the ceremony by key ing in the last brick, amidst the cheers of the assem blage around him. Then, addressing the company pre sent, he said— Ladies and Gentlemen,--For the honour, I may say, the unexpected honour, which you have done me in in viting me to preside at the ceremony of laying the last brick of this great tunnel, and also for the additaanal, and, I must add, too great honour which you have con ferred upon me by this your beautiful and munificent gift, I beg to return you my most sincere thanks. For once in my life I covet the possession of those gifts of nature which would enable me fitly and fluently to express the language of my heart, the feelings of grati fication I experience at receiving from you these marks of your regard. It is now two year and a quarter since the first brick of this tunnel was laid at No. 10 shaft by the late Chairman of the Company, Mr. Wood ; some of you have been my companions and felloW \ labourers for a longer, some a shorter, portion of that 1 time ; but unto all, whether you came at the eleventh PRICE sd. hour, or whether you have sustained the heat and bur den of the clay, I tender my most sincere and hearty thanks for your cordial co-operation, and for the in valuable assistance which you contribu:ed, each in your proper sphere, to the completion of a work which will itself be a nobler testimony to your merits, a more enduring record of your fame, than any words which I might by possibility make use of. It is to your patient iudustry, Gentlemen, that we are indebted for the triumph of this day ; it is through your untiring zeal that we are enabled this dey to lay the 2.3 d-millionth brick. The work is finished, and defies the rage of tempest, fire, or war, or wasting age. Some idea of the quantity of labour requisite for the construction of this tunnel might be obtained by putting it in this man ner :—Supposing it had been possible to execute it by the unassisted efforts of one man, and supposing that one man could have worked as advantageously, in pro portion to his number, as the 800 actually employed have, in proportion to their numbers, it would lase taken him as much time to complete it as has clajoed between the commencement of the Christian era and the present day, or 1840 years. To the ordinary spec tator tunnels present few charms. There is no proud superstructure to please the eye, no splendid vista of columns to delight the imagination ; their very exist ence, like the mole's, is only to be traced by the little heaps of dirt which they cast up upon the surface, and the utmost praise awarded to them is, that of being necessary evils—nuisances which must be tolerated ; in their utility consists their beauty. But the practised engineer knows well that they comprise the most dif ficult branch of his profession, that they are fraught with dangers which defy both experience and calcula tion, dangers the more to be dreaded because they are unseen; they resemble the hidden rocks or quicksands of the mariner—he may make shipwreck upon them, almost before he. is aware of their existence. In all rairway iihtlertaiingse - diflieuftiteelersa Oen& or lesser degree, must be expected. There are hills to be perfo rated, valleys to be filled up ; rivers to desert the course in which they had flowed on peacefully for ages, goodly edifices to raise, as it were, from the treacher ous sand. All these things are natural, and are to be expected ; but, in addition to all these, we have had, on this line, the elements against us ; avalanches of earth and torrents of water have opposed our progress ; also men, and I grieve to add, women, as impracticable as the elements by which they are surrounded. But we are now arrived at a great epoch in our history : these things are, for the most part, conquered. Hitherto we have been advancing like a train in a tunnel, through mist and through darkness ; we are now emerging from it into the bright sunshine of prosperity. May that pros perity be great and lasting, and may the Company under whose auspices this work has been conducted reap that rich harvest of success to which they are so well en , titled ! The opening of the railway will, no doubt, oc casion a great change in present Channel communica tion. The back-bone of England may be said to be broken—its spinal marrow, the summit tunnel, has been touched. Blackstone Edge! thou art no more—the grouse may still feed upon thy heather—the Canal Company may drain every drop of moisture from thy barren surface to support them in their extremity ; but thy inns will be deserted—thy roads will becothe sheep walks—no traveller will henceforth toil up thy steep sides, or admire thy rugged beauties. Of the con tractor, Mr. Stephenson, it is unnecessary for me to say much ; but that which I do say will be, as it were, mulluni in parvo, or a great deal in a little compass, viz., that he has been a good servant to the Company, and a good master to his men. No doubt, he has, by his spirited and energetic conduct of these works, in creased his previously well-earned reputation ; no doubt, he has added another laurel to bis wreath. But solid pudding is better than empty praise ; and he has, probably, long ere this, discovered that his ex ertions are as profitable to himself, as they are service able to the Company by whom he is employed. In the construction of this tunnel, some lives have been lost, and many serious injuries have been received. These things, I regret to say, are inseparable from the construc tion of tunnels, and no care can entirely avoid them. Let as console ourselves with the reflection, that we have done all in our power to diminish their frequency, and to alleviate the sufferings of the unfortunate vic tims. The ceremony which we have now performed is, in many respects, a triumphant one, one of which we may all be justly proud ; but there are two sides to every question, there is a shade as well as a light in every picture and the melancholy side of this is, that it is a signal of separation. We have worked together for a long time amicably ; we are now to be dispersed, as it were, to the four winds of heaven. Many of you, I dare say, know not whero your neat lot may be cast, of which number I acknowledge myself to be one ; but this much 1 can say, that, wherever I go, whatever may be my future lot in life, the recollections of this day will always be a bright spot in memory's page, a proud and happy retrospec tion, of which neither the frowns nor the smiles of for tune can ever deprive me. In conclusion, I again thank you for your beautiful present, the trowel, of which this is so flattering a likeness. The trowel appears to be a simple and unpretending tool ; but it may be termed a great agent in building up the walls of civilization. Its services are:required for the lowly cottage of the labourer, or the proud palace of the sovereign. It is useful alike for the subterraneous passage in which we are now stand ingel or for that: proud tower whose top was to reach to heaven. I again thank you for the very munificent gift.—(Loud cheers.) Subsequently the ladies and gentlemen present were invited to partake of a cold collation at the Summit Inn ; when several excellent addresses, having reference to the completion of the work, were made. The work men, were regaled within the tunnel.—Maneliester Guardian.

PORTSMOUTH, Dac. 12.—The Emerald sailed to day for Devonport, with supernumeraries for the ships : at that port. A new steamer, called the Tripoli, belonging to his Sardinian Majesty, and commanded: by Mon. le Baron d'Aurarre, arrived here on Thursday last, from London, bound to Genoa, having just been completed in her en gines in our metropolis ; she sailed for Italy on the fol lowing (lily. The Electra, 18, was at Mazatlan, on the west coast of South America, on the 2Gth September. We arc sorry to state that there is every reason to fear that the Fairy, surveying vessel, Captain Hewett, has been lost, with the whole of her officers and ship'S company. It appears that she left Harwich on the 15th ultimo, for the purpose of surveying some neighbouring sends, and must have encountered the late tremendous storm. It was ascertained, before she left Harwich, that she bad no design whatever of proceed ing beyond a few hours' sail, having only on board at the time two days' provisions ; but she has not since bees heard of. A son of Sir Charles Adam, a midshipman, was on board the Fairy. The Salamander steam-vessel sailed on Monday from Sheerness, for Norway, in search of her. She will visit the Shetland Isles, and call at Leith, if necessary. The Abercrombie, Robinson, transport, from Dept ford to Gibraltar, put into Plymouth Sound on Tuesday morning, haying sprung her bowsprit. She was towed into harbour by the Carron steamer, to have her da mages repaired; after which she will proceed to her des tination. She has on board th e 79 t h R eg i ment, con sisting of 866 men, 42 women, and 57 children. The Duck, lighter, came in to-day with men from Sheerness. NAVAL PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS.'

THE WORKING CLASSES.—CAUSES OF DISSATISFACTION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) We stated on Monday that " the intrinsic state of the working classes, and their relative position to the other de partments of the population, arc ominously impot taut, and indicative of inevitable organic changes in the political in stitutions of the country." We enti•Jat general attention to this topic; becath c, however, it may be overlooked in the warfare of party interests, however unfrequently it may ba obtruded upon the thoughts of the luxurious and wealthy —however seldom it may gain the passing regard of our statesmen—however it may fail to arrest the investigation even of our enlightened political economists, it is beyond all comparison the most momentous which can possibly be submitted to the public mind. If there be " the question of questions," this, indubitably, is THE SUBJECT Or sue- JECTS. We hear continually of the Tory party, the Whig party, and the Radical party, as constituting the three great sub. divisions or sections of the public world; but there is a fourth party in the course of formation, which, in numbers, in energy, and consequently in influence, will rapidly become formidable and gigantic, and which, it we may use the phrase, will effect a complete re volution in the political geography of the empire. Who ever refers to the proofs we adduced in our last article on this subject, of the self-separation of the operative classes from the other classes of the country, of their growing union among themselves, and of their rapid advance in moral and intellectual power, will be at no loss to perceive our meaning in the preceding assertion. It is true that the elements are only now subsiding into consistency after a long period of almost chaotic confusion; it is true that the machinery is also beginning to work after much grating at trition and disorder ; but the fact is not the less certain, the result is not the less unavoidable. Let us be clearly understood before we proceed. We mean neither to censure nor to defend the principles en tertained by the working classes, or the spirit they dis play ; our object is, to the best of our ability, to exhibit to the country facts which have never yet been appreciated, but whose imminent importance we cannot overrate. Through the whole body of the working classes. there exists a deep, pervading, ineradicable dissatisfaction with the principles and administration of Government. To attempt to invalidate this assertion by referring to what are called Operative Conservative Associations, is ridiculous. From the meetings of such Associations, often concocted and conducted by parsons—if supported by operatives, only by such who arc regarded as renegades, vomited forth from the body to which they belong—where odious bigotry, whining cant, and oily hypocrisy, are ex • hibited in juxta.position, and where th e ver y worst s p ecies of bribery is profusely administered by pandering to the lowest animal propensities, the working etasses turn away with loathing, aversion, and disgust. And our gentry of the Tory Press, who so readily promulgate the acts of these Associations, and bcsiaver their promoters and con ductors, will soon find that they have provoked where they professed to please, and that they have bitterly exasperated where they have pretended to improve. The dissatisfaction to wh i c h we have alluded wi ll be ac knowledged by till who know anything of the beating of th e popular pulse, the w o rkin g of the popular mind. What arc the causes of this dissatisfaction ? \'e shall endeavour to answer t he in q uir y; we shall attempt to probe the evil to its core. . class; from the The first cause of this dissatisfaction is to be found not merely in the exclusion of the workin, elective franchise, but in the irritating, ° the unjust, the in sulting reasons which have been assited p in parliament, fporrofithi profligate e epl a Tio th n o . u g l t t l t bheas basis and by a certain portion of the political b ress, both .

" They erg F,,chier naL i c e. when the guilt of the schism must be, placed at the door, not of those who separate, but of those who reu der the separation necessary. Again, " they aro irreligious." Why, what has religion to do with the franchise? And supposing that they are i rre li g i ous , by what agency have they b een made se ?In a great measure by the agency of our priests and prelates, whose luxury, whose self-seeking, whose arrogance, whose ava rice, are incessantly giving the falsehood to their own in structions, and act more effectually in creating and extend ing rooted prejudices against the cause they profess to zus tain, than all the efforts of all the Socialists and sceptic in existence throughout the length said the breadth of the land. The prevailing dissatisfaction, then, of the working classes, with the principles and administrati m of Government, we repeat, has not been produced by merfk withholding from them the franchise, but by the taintir r atid ing reasons by which the disappointment has here de. fended. Similar language of scornful superciliousness we sincerely lament to find stilt used, and that not wit . ' e quently, by the " high" part of the press, and by some of our politicians, in adverting to the proceedings of the working classes, and their appeals to the favourable ettee tion of the Legislature. We deprecate such language as redolent with evil, and fraught with ruinous conse quences. Little do those who use it know how it resem bles " the icon that goes into the soul," and bow it enger ders feelings which, when once excited, it Will not be easy to allay. But there are other causes of this unfortunate state of things elich lie far deeper than that we have just illus trated. To them we must refer on a future occasion. FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL.

TALKINGRAILWAY last week, e ll' , A m e r . 11 N Georger.— A t meeting v heldA a Blackburn Stephen son, the father of railways, was present; and, i n a s p eec h in support of the railway, said that on the London and Blacio,vall line there was a talking machine, constructed with galvanic wires, by means of which conversation could be carried on between London and Blackwall with the greatest ease and precision. By way of illustrating the efficiency of this talking machine, Mr. Stephenson said that he went to the station in London one day to inquire for oae of his assistants. He was not there, but the attendant said he would inquire if he was at the other end of the line ; he did so ; in a few seconds the answer was, that he was not there. But about five minutes afterwards, the talking machine informed him in London that his assistant had arrived at the Blackwall terminus ; upon which he in structed the attendant to say, by the same agency, " Tell him to come here directly." In ten minutes from that time he arrived, the distance being Nearly seven miles.— ( Hear, hear.) If the distance were 100 miles, the conver sation could be carried on just as readily; for the commu nication travelled at the rate of twenty miles a second.-- Blackburn Standard. CONTEMPLATED RAILWAY THROUGH BLACKBlilt:si.-We rejoice in being enabled to state that the first step has at length been taken to secure to Black burn and the surrounding district the advantages of a railway communication with the North Union and Man chester and Leeds lines. On Thursday last a highly re spectable meeting was convened by circular, at the Hotel, in King-street, to confer with Mr. Stephenson, the eminent encTincer, and two other gentlemen of the same profession who accompanied hive. epon the subject. The meeting was well attended, and but one feeling appeared to pelvade the company, viz., an anxious desire for the accomplish ment of the object in view. The engineers exhibited a map of the different railways, with the proposed line front the North Union at Preston, through Blackburn, Accring ton, and 3urnley, to the Manchester and Leeds line at Todmorden, a distance of about twenty-six miles. Wil liam Turner, Esq., M. P., having been called to the chair, a long conversation took place between Mr. Stephenson, the Chairman, William Feitden, Esq., M. P., Joseph Fiel den, EN , P. E. Towneley, Esq., and James Neville, Esq., and others, the result of which was the appointment of a committee to confer with the Directors of the 'North Union and Manchester and Leeds Companies, and also with the owners of property on the proposed tine ; and to ascertain what pecuniary assistance they were disposed to from oll e cieod v alpr e sdr nt , ro P hon h te r eph e d a i torsisostts proposed l n edn r exe c t uop a o trnee d i ley, the cost of which was estimated at 7001.
