THIS Line will be carried through the great Valley of Strathmore, and will form a connecting link between the Scottish Central Railway terminating at Perth, and the Arbroath and Forfar, and Aberdeen Railways. The existing Railways from Arbroath to Forfar and from Dundee to Newtyle will serve as feeders to this Railway, which will also afford the shortest route south wards for the traffic of the whole of the north-eastern counties of Scotland, containing in the aggregate a popu lation of upwards of 500,000; and the Scottish Central Railway, connecting with the Edinburgh and Glasgow and the great Lines uniting England and Scotland, will bring to its southern terminus at Perth the traffic north wards from England, from the manufacturing and mine, ral districts of Scotland, and from the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. The Valley of Strathmor.., through which the Railway will to carried, is the most extensive tract of level land in Scotland. It is fertile and populous, is studded with towns and villages, and is the seat of important manufac tures, which are capable of great extension, though their progress has been hitherto impeded by the high price of coal, and the want of cheaper and more rapid means of communication. _ _ A survey has been made of the district between Perth and Forfar, a distance of 32 miles, and from the facilities afforded by the almost uninterrupted level of the country, and the existence of local Railways, which may be acquired at a moderate price, Messrs. Locke and Errington have estimated the expense of forming the Railway, including stations, connexions with existing Railways, and every contingency, at £300,000. It is intended to follow the system now so generally pursued, of constructing in the first instance only a single line, but providing land and bridges sufficient fora double line, if afterwards found necessary. It has been ascertained, after a careful scrutiny by a Committee of five gentlemen of the &strict, that the revenue, arising chiefly from local sources, will yield a return of seve❑ per cent., wholly independent of the in crease likely to arise from the formation of the Aberdeen and Scottish Central Railways. The undertaking has the support of all the towns and of almost every landowner on the line, and a considerable amount of the capital required has already been subscribed in the district. The capital has been fixed at £300,000, divided into 12,000 shares of £25 each. A deposit of £1 10s. per share to be paid at the time of allotment, and subscribers to sign the parliamentary deed when required to do so. It will be a provision of the Act of Incorporation, thtt no subscriber shall be liable for more than the amount of his subscription. Application for shares may be made to Messrs. FORSYTH and PRITCHARD, and Liverpool. Messrs. TOD and ASHTON, JJJ No application will be attended to unless accompanied by a reference. SCOTTISH MIDLAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.

Stone and Bryers, under whose su perintendence the traffic has been taken, also the persons employed under them to take the actual traffic, and from whose statements the Committee are satisfied that the traffic has been taken with due care, and that the same has not been overstated. " The Committee have also examined the Bocks made up from the Notes taken by these parties during the fort night from the sth August, and also the Abstra is taken from these Books, and after carefully investigating and checking these, they are completely satisfied of their ge neral correctness. " Some of the Books for subsequent fortnights have also been examined and checked, in so far as the time of the Committee allowed, and no material error having been dis covered in them, the Committee consider themselves jus tified in assuming the general correctness of the statements of six weeks' traffic submitted to the Committee. " The Committee are satisfied that, if any error has been committed, the traffic has been rather understated than otherwise; and they have, therefore, no hesitation in reporting, that the extent of traffic exhibited in the Table prepared by the Sktere.ary, and submitted to the Committee, is a fair return of the existing traffic in the district between Perth and Forfar, and such as they feel themselves enabled, upon sound and bona fide grounds, to recommend to the Provisional Committee as the basis of their calculation of the probable receipts upon the proposed Railway. " J. DALGAIRNS. GEO. BUCHANAN. HUGH WATSON. W. D. PROCTOR. JOHN M'NICOLL." Lord Wharncl ffe congratulated the Meeting on the very satisfactory Report the) had received, and expressed his entire confidence in its accuracy. He recommended that the Prospectus be re-issued, amending it by noticing the result of the accounts of traffic, and the confidence with which it may now be assumed that the concern is certainly I safe as an investment, since the traffic actually now exist ing, as most carefully taken and subsequently tested, with out any prospective increase, affords, calculated at very moderate rates a gross income of £25,854 9s. 10d. arising chiefly from the local traffic of the district. If from this even 45 per cent be deducted for costs of working, there remains £14,219 of net income, equal to 41 per cent on £300,000, which the Engineer has stated, and the Chair- i man has full confidence, rightly stated, will be sufficient for executing the works, assuming that only a single line of rails is laid at present, but purchasing land and secur ing width of bridges and other conveniences for a double line. So even without the increase of traffic consequen tial on the making of the Railway, there is a fair return for capital. If there be the usual addition for consequen tial increase of traffic, say 100 per cent on the passengers, the additional receipts at the rates assumed will be £12,876 10s. and if 45 per cents for costs of working be deducted (probably more than enough on the additional traffic) be again deducted, the return on the capital will be fully 7 per cent. Over and above all this there is the great accession of thorough-going traffic naturally to arise from the projected Railways to Perth, and from Aberdeen and the North, which are to connect this Railway, for local traffic, with the centre and west of Perthshire, and with Fifeshire and Stirlingshire, and with the eastern parts of Angus, and with Kincardine and Aberdeen, and to make this Railway a link in the great chain of railway communication between London and Aberdeen, and ulti mately, it is to be hoped, all the country north to Inverness. It was ordered that, as recommended by the Chairman, an amended Prospectus be now issued. It was reported to the Meeting that the result of the traffic for October promised to go beyond the average of the preceding accounts, and that the Surveyors are of opinion the traffic will continue during the winter months beyond the average already reported, both on passengers , and on weighable traffic.

FURS.—It will be seen by an advertisement in the first page of our paper, that the branch of the Columbia River Fur Company are offering to the public every new and fashionable design in this useful and necessary article of winter apparel, at prices, we hear the ladies say, sur prisingly low. The immense resources of the company, and the fact of their concern, extensive as it is, being only a branch of a still more important one, are things that argue well for their being able to compete with any other. establishment ; at least those of, our readers who are about to purchase, should inspect their extensive stock. The TEETH have ever been considered as forming one co) the most pleasing ornaments of the human counte nance, and their preservation demands our utmost care and attention. Indeed, if there be any loss that more particularly affects the countenance than another, it is that of the Teeth ; which the Dentist, however ingenious, must ever vainly hope satisfactorily to replace by attificial contrivance. The DECAY of the TEETH and GUMS arises from various causes ; hot, principally, it tray be attributed to early neglect, ill health, or the use of Tooth Powders containing mineral substances and deleterious acids, which give temporary whiteness to the Teeth, while they corrode the enamel. To this fact, indeed, is princi pally to he attributed the long Botanical Research, which was happily terminated by the most felicitous discovery ever given to the world for the PRESERVATION of the TEETH, GUMS, and BREATH. viz.—ROWLAND'S ODONTO, or PEARL DENTRIFICE. Prepared from Oriental Herbs with unusual care, and transmitted to this country at great expense, ROWLAND'S ODONTO is no less distinguished for its powerfully efficacious, anti dotal, and purifying virtues, in immediately arresting caries, or decay in the Teeth, than for it s stimulative properties in fixing them (when loose) firmly in their sockets, and in giving a healthy redness and firmness to the Gums. Its corrective properties are in particular most pleasingly displayed in respect to the BREATH—to which it imparts a sweetness and fragrance not a little gratifying to i's possessor. As the most efficient and fra grant aromatic cleanser of the Mourn, TEETH, and GUMS ever known, ROWLAND'S ODONTO has now for a long series of years occupied a distinguished place at the Toilets of the Sovereigns and the Nobility throughout Europe, while the general demand for it at once announces the favour in which it is held by the public at large. It should never be forgotten, that when wed early in life, it effectually prevents all aches in the Teeth and Gums— effaces all Spots and Discoloration whatsoever—eradicates Scurvy—and, in a word, soon realizes the chief attribute of Health an d Beauty—A BEAUTIFUL SET OF TEETH !

ISLINGTON, LivEaPooc.—lslington, formerly " Folly- Lane," was so called from a building which received the name from its singular appearance. It stood on the site of Christ Church, and was an appendage to a house of entertaiment, called " Gibson's Coffee Hous e ," th en much frequented. The Coffee house being inadequate to the wants of the customers, " mine host" applied to his landlord, Alderman Shaw, to build an additional room. The alderman having given his consent, Gibson erected a tower, six yards square and six stories high, at the top 6f which was a leaded roof, whence splendid views of the surrounding country were obtained. These gardens were the favourite resort of the upper and middle classes for many years, and great regret was expressed on the tower being taken down in 1769. The gardens were very exten sive, and well stocked with fine fruit trees and flowers. There were two large fish ponds, in which fish of different descriptions and water fowl were kept. There were also howling-greens and skittle-alleys. The " Folly" was noted for its fine ale, which was generally drank in the gardens. A great gathering of the townspeople regularly took place at Easter or Whitsuntide. Long after the " Folly" had disappeared, the public-boluses in the vici nity were frequented by idle people at that period; hence I arose " Folly Fair," which was diecontiuued in 1819. 1 Lacey's Pictorial Liverpool.

" Never to signify—and if he has I deserved it." " And, I dare say, if the truth were told, you have scolded him quite as often." " Nay," said the old wo man, with la beauty of kindness which all the poetry in the world cannot excel, " how can a wife scold her good man who has been working for her and her little ones all the day ?

We were much gratified by a visit, a few days ago, to this place of worship, to find that it has not only been greatly enlarged but surprisingly improved in architectu ral elegance, both exteriorly and interiorly, as well as in additional comfort and convenience for the hearers of the zealous and respected pastor, who has taken an unwearied interest in the progress of the works that have fora con siderable time being going on, and are now drawing to wards final completion. The original building, it will be remembered, was a rather neat, but, on the whole, plain structure, in the Gothic style, of brick, with stone mould ings, &c., and had accommodation for a congregation of about 960. This has been retained, and additions have been made at each extremity, without destroying the due proportions of the whole. Sixteen feet of length have been added to the east end, by which 266 sittings have been obtained ; and an alteration of the west end gives 146 sittings more, so that the church will now accommodate about 1372 persons. The light and ventilation have also been greatly increased, the latter by the interior of the roof (which was before flat) being carried, in handsome gothic wood and plaster work, above the principal beams—giving a greater interior elevation, and a readier means of escapement for the heated air, by means of two additional ventilators.. The principal object in view was to obtain additional sittings for at least 400 of the poor of the vicinity, and these are in every respect constructed on a principle of Christian equality, as regards all who attend, being equal in construction to the most commodious pews in the church. The pecuniary means for these alterations has been principally collected through the perseverance of the Rev. D. James, the incumbent ; and tbk inhabitants of Kirk dale deserve great praise for the promptitude and liberali ty with which they have met his energetic appeals in be half of " church extension." The style of the additions is the " decorated gothic," approaching, in some points, to the " floriated," though not so much so as—with the ornamental addenda to the original part of the structure — to destroy the harmony and consistency of the general . . The east end, forming a front to the Walton Road, is of mason work throughout, with a large four-light gothic window in the centre, decorated with tracery at the top, with chaste but bold mouldings. From the arched head of this window springs a decoratej a porbel, supported by a well-carved bead of Wickliffe/Ma much better taste than the numerous grotesque heads sometimes observable in this style, and still more frequently indulged in in Norman architecture. A handsome bell turret surmounts this corbel, richly floriated below, and with buttresses dying into slender pinnacles above. This, however, though beautiful in itself, appears to be rather too massive, and to rise rather too high over the roof for safety during gales ; but we learn that it is in contemplation to do away with this objection (if it may be so termed) by raising the supporting masonry behind it. The wings, on each side of the large window ' include two large doors, with deco rated canopie s , crockets, and finials, above each of which is a small gothic window, chastely designed. Over one of the wing doors is carved in alto, the Lion of England— the Royal crest, and above it the Bible, on a cushion. Over the other are the apostolic key and pastoral crook, on a shield, as emblems of the Christian ministry, its authority, and usefulness; and above the latter is the crown. The west end of the church (in this case the altar end) is of brick work, with a large window of five lane _t lights in the centre, having, as tracery at the junction of the arch, a handsome wheel. On each side of this, and in what may be called the second story, or gallery, of the building, there is a circular window, each comprising, in the stone mullions, a decorative wheel, but of different forms. There are also two windows on the ground floor (where is a new vestry in a central recess) in keeping with the others, giving the whole a pleasing effect. The tra cery of these windows was, we understand, designed after examples in Exeter. On the peak of the roof, at this end, there is also a highly ornamented stone cross, with floriated arms, and perforated in a quatre-feuid in the centre. The principal difficulty, however, to be encountered in the enlargement and renovation of the church interiorly, has, by judicious management, been entirely over come. The framing which supported the old roof, (before hid by plaster work below it,) and the additional portions at each end are now ornamented with shafts, archery, tracery, central pendants, &c., and the new coved ceiling with ribs relieving it in square compart ments, with handsome bosses, &c. These are all painted in dark oak, grained on a white ground. This interior raising of the roof not only gives greater elevation and dignity to the structure, but, if we mistake not, will im prove it as to hearing. There are three handsome per forated centre pieces in stucco, communicating with yen tilatnrs. The roof is certainly one of the finest " open" ones in this part of the country. The new skreen, at the west end, (not yet com pleted,) is a fine specimen of the decorated gothic, with six empanelled arches, surmounted by an embattled cor nice, with three ornamented canopies, buttresses. termi nating pinnacles, &c. This will evidently, when finished, have a light, rich, and elegant effect. It was designed by Mr. Arthur Holme, the architect for the improvemeats, and evinces much taste in the gothic style. Immediately behind it is the vestry, a small but commodious room, and over it the large west window. All the windows at this end will be glazed with stained glass, from elegant designs by Mr. James, which we have seen, and the whole will, are doubt not, produce a splendour of effect rarely achieved in our local churches. There being a considerable deficiency in the funds, the young people of the congregation have undertaken to col lect money for presenting the five-light window at the commcnion end with stained glass ; and William Roth well, Esq., one of the committee, has offered to defray the expense of glazing the two smaller ones on its right and left, in a similar style. This offer the minister has gladly accepted, as it will relieve him of a portion of the heavy debt. We have to congratulate Mr. James, and the committee who have so strenuously acted with him, on the success of their labours in this good cause ; and we venture to express a hope that neither they nor the inhabitants of Kirkdale will relax in their endeavours to attain yet fur ther improvements, and especially in the removal, if pos. sible, of the range of cottage houses on the south side of the church, which greatly cramp the yard-room, and mi litate against the desirable privacy of this now handsome place of worship. The church will be re-opened on Thursday evening next. The appeal which will then be made by the Rev. H. Stowell, and on the evening of Sunday next by the Rev. H. Wlsleile, will, we trust, produce such collections as will considerably assist in making up the deficiency now existing in the funds. SCOTTISH 3,IIDLAND RAILWAY. It is a singular circumstance that, upwards of 50 years ago, the very Vine adopted for this railway was pointed out by the celebrated engineer, Mr. Ainslie, as the best for a canal. Little did be anticipate that the more con venient and expeditious mode of travelling by Railway would be accomplished, over the very tract of country which he suggested as so suitable for a canal. When Mr. Ainslie made his survey, in 1791, he was so much struck with the level between Forfar and Perth, that he added in a note to his large map of the county of Forfar—" There would be no difficulty in continuing a canal by Forfar, Glammiss, Meigle, &c , to Perth, which, if done, would be of the utmost advantage to every Pro prietor whose lands are adjacent to it, besides going through a rich and populous country ; but the great object would be the conveyance of coal, lime, and free stone, along the canal, which would be of great service to the country." A survey was afterwards made by an en gineer, and it was found that a canal was easily prac ticable. In 1827 the noblemen and gentlemen of the district instructed Mr. Stevenson, the eminent engineer (of Edin burgh); to make a survey for a Railway from Perth through Forfar, when he reported that it could be made so cheaply, owing to the favourable nature of the country, that the conveyance of merchandize, coal, lime, and agricultural produce, would alone be sufficient to yield an adequate return on the outlay. The great Landowners have now instructed Messrs. Locke and Errin2ton to survey the same district ; and they have reported that, owing to the unusual facilities alluded to, a Railway of the best construction may be made between Perth and Forfar for about £9,400 per mile, and responsible contractors are ready to undertake the works at the engineers' estimate. The formation and route of this Railway have there fore been maturely considered, and the expected traffic has been investigated with equal care. Tne Tables, which shew a return of above 7 per cent., were minutely ex amined by a Local Committee, who reported, " That, if any error has ban committed. the traffic has been rather understated than otherwise ;'' and Lord Wharncliffe, who presided at the meeting to which this report was made, publicly expressed his entire confidence in its ac curacy. It may, therefore, be safely asserted, that there are few Railways now before the public which have been so ettre fully considered, or which hold out such fair prospects of return. SERIOUS COLLISIONS.—About eight o'clock on Thurs day evening, an alarming collision, attended with fatal consequences, occurred on the Mersey, between one of the Birkenhead steam ferry-boats, called the James, and the barque Royalist, which arrived from St. John's, N. 8., a day or two ago. The James was crossing the river to Birkenhead, with about fifty passengers ; and the Royalist was lyino at anchor off Monk's Ferry. The tide was coming in at the time, and both vessels met at the bows. A boat was lying alongside the Royalist, and in the first moments of alarm a number of passengers jumped into her. An atten pt was made to turn the head of the steamer to the tine; but this movement only brought her alongside the barque, and the boat was instantly crushed between the two. Two of the parties in the boat reached the Royalist ; all the others either jumped or were thrown into the river. Assistance was immediately rendered to the unfortunate beings in the water, and several were rescued in a much exhausted state. Two persons perished : one a young man named Harrison, brother of Mr. Joseph Harrison, ironmonger, St. James's -street, and a man named Fahey.—On the following night the Birkenhead steamer William F awcett came in collision on the river with the schooner Jane, of Douglas.
