LE DRAY & CO., Surgeon-Dentists, r tectfullV inform the nobility, gentry, and inhabitants of erpool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establ' ment perma nently at No. 70, S EEL-STREET, eight d rs from 'Berry street. They continue to fill up the cavil' of decayed teeth with the Mineral Marmoratum, without e least pain, heat, or pressure, it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, preventing and curing the tooth-ache, arresting all further progress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The mi neral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, but by completely stopping up the cavity prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of the breath which invaria bly accompanies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the teeth and gums, there is none more destructive in their effects, or more generally prevalent than scurvy, and it is well known that the loss of teeth arises snore from this cause than any other, It affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the primary cause of tooth ache and decay; to those so affected Mons. Le Dray and Co. have to inform them, that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single ap plication without the slightest pain. • _ Artificial and natural teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, answering all the purposes of mastication and articulation, remaining per fectly secure in their places, and may be taken out and repla ced by the wearer with the greatest facility—at the following Paris charges : A single Artificial Tooth £o 10 0 A complete Set 5 5 0 A complete Set of Natural Teeth on fine gold plate An entire Set of Natural or Terro-Me tallie Teeth, highly finished, in the first style, with fine gold sockets, usually charged Forty Guineas Loose teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.

Prepared and sold by the sole Proprtor at No. 42 SEEL-STREET LIVERPOOL.' , A In boxes at 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. ach. Warranted not to contain COPAIB BIOS, or any deleterious ingredt . *** With each Box is given a reatise on Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases, with observations on seminal weak ness &c. &c., containing hints worth knowing by those who are, or have been sufferers to this dreadful and devastating malady. Dr. DAVIESON continues to direct his attention to those disorders arising from the too free and indiscriminate in dulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numer ous train of nervous affections, but also entails on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age. - In that distressing state of debility and deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigor ous health. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the venereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con stitution. When the great Doctor Swedour became Pro fessor at Leyden University, he conferred an invaluable be nefit upon mankind by the discovery of his grand I'anacea, for the cure of this deplorable complaint. Never did a dis covery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after with avidity, and used with undeviating success in the most minute and intricate cases of the delicate complaint. for the cure of which they have been so long celebrated. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy in troduction into almost every country. '['he certainty with which they were continually administered can be attested by many thousands. In fact, during the long continental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infection was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate than that 'which has given such general satisfaction ? The H ygeian Herb Pills root. out every particle of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different functions of the body expelling the grosser hu mours, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and un equalled powers. They neither contain mercury noranv other mineral, and may be taken without the'slightest suspicion of discovery—they require na restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, but effect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the Hygeian Herb Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplor able state in which many persons have been when visiting the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it impera tively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous mineral when injudiciously administered. These Pills should form a portion of all Medicine Chests, by sea and land, and ought never to be omitted by any person going a long voyage or journey, their properties are such that neither heat nor cold will injure their quality, or pre vent the due streets on the constitution. Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, from Eight in the morning until Ten at night, (on Sundays from Nine till Two,) where he gives advice to all applicants taking any ofhis preparations, WITHOUT A FEE. Letlers (post-paid) enclosing a remittance, answered by return, and Medicines punctually,transmitted to any ad dress either by initials or name.

From the long period Mr. W. has been engaged in Tui tion, and the le assistance rendered him by Masters of first-rate talent and experience, he is enabled to offer with confidence his School to Parents and Guardians as one embracing advantages adequate to those of the highest terms in the neighbourhood of London. That system of Education is adopted which is best calculated to advance the temporal interest of the Pupils and-make them useful members of the society in which they mar k/reafter move. • In . the Upper School Gentlemen are prepared for the Universities, the Learned Professions, and Commercial pursuits. In the Lower, or Preparatory School, the Pupils meet with that peculiar care and attention so highly essential at an early age: and throughout the Establishment, while every endeavour is used to promote the health and comfort of the Pupils, the strictest attention is paid to their morals and manners. Mr. W. begs to assure those Friends who may kindly pa tronise his efforts, that every possible exertion shall be used to merit their continued support. References are kindly allowed by the Rev. Mr. Figgins, M.A., Everton; Mr. W. Gorsuch, at. Paul's-square, Liver pool, (of whom particulars of terms, &c. may be obtained ;) and to Jonathan Andrew, Esq., Hindham Hall, near Man chester.

Committee-room, 12th December, 1838. AS SUPPLIED TO THE ROYAL TABLE. FIOWQUA'S MIXTURE of 40 rare Black TEAS, and HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER, in Chinese Catty Packages. The Sole Proprietor of the above celebrated Teas, is Capt. JOHN' RHODES PIDDING, (late Commander of the Hon. Company's ship Thames, of 1400 tons.) Captain Pidding having made EIGHT VOYAGES IO CHINA, embraced the opportunity, when at Canton, of securing to himself the exclusive importation of these T ; and he sup plies them to the Public, through ONE A. in each town. GEORGE CARLYLE, Repos' 86, Bold-street, SOUL AGENT for LIVERPOOL. In an action brought by Capt. Pidding, against a person who counterfeited his title and packages, it was proved before the Vice-Chancellor, on the affidavit of Mr. William Styan, an eminent Broker, of 27 years' experience, employed to test the merits of these Teas, " That Captain Pidding's ' HOW QUA'S MIXTURE' is a tea of a peculiar flavor, and composed of many varieties if black teas, all of the finest quality; that it has a character peculiar to itself—A FINE NATURAL AROMA. And Ti;at , HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER' is Gun powder Tea of the very finest quality, and that such tea could not be bought in the market. _ _ '° W. Styan " Sworn at the Public Office, Chancery-lane, this Bth day of May, 1837, before me, Filed Bth of May, 1837." " N. W. SENIOR. It was also proved on oath, that Captain Pidding's Teas were supplied for the Royal Use. Dr. Johnson, late physician to Geo. IV., considers this the best of Teas, and uses uo other. As Author of "The Eco nomy of Health," &c., his testimony is invaluable: he writes thus:— " Nov 22 1837 " Sta,—Ever since your Howqua's Mixture' rea was first introduced, myself and family have used it, indeed only it, and we have no hesitation in giving it the preference to all others. " Yours, ee. " To Capt. Pidding." " JAMES JOHNSON, M.D. Its superior excellence is further proved, by G. Sigmund, M.D., F.L S., &c., who, in a lecture on tea, delivered on the 14th of November, before the Medico-Botanical Society, stated—" The Hong► Merchants used not generally to deliver for exportation their finest sorts of teas. It was proved by the fact that since the opening of the trade new varieties had been brought to England. and, in particular, a tea under the name of the richest and the most esteemed of the Hong Merchants, which had been very much and very deservedly prized, and the Ilowqua's Mixture' has now become "A STANDARD TEA IN THIS COUNTRY." It is impossible to furnish more conclusive proof of its su periority. The term "standard" comprehends every good quality. These Teas consist of " HowiatiA's MourunE" (black tea), at Gs. per lb., or Ss. the catty package. " HovvcwA's SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER," at Bs. 7 d. per lb., is Ils. 621. the catty package. Each package contains 1 lb. and one. third nett of tea. CAUTION !—The names of C. V ERREY, 218, Regent-street, and T. LITTLEJOHN, 77, King William-street, City, Sole Agents for London, are upon every genuine catty. All others are spurious. A LBINOLO'S OINTMENT, for the Cure of Cancer, Scrofula, Eruptions of the Skin, Contagious Diseases, Cholera, Plague, Wounds of every description, Burns, Pains, or Aches of any kind, Lugs, Chilblains, and various other Diseases. _ CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. Mr. FELIX AYBINOLO, (froth Turin,) 2 Earl-street, Blackfriars, London, sole proprietor and coin ound er o f t h e Ointment called ALBINOLO'S OINTM T, warns the public that the testimonials of Sir Ben in C.

Dendv, Esq., (from hich Mr. Thomas Holloway, of 13, Broad-street Buildings, City, gives gar bled extracts in favour of a Medicine of his own,) referred to Albinolo's Ointment, and not to any discovery of Mr. Thomas Holloway, who never knew, nor was ever made ac quainted with the ingredients of which Albinolo's Ointment Is composed, or the secret of manufacturing the same. Extract of a letter from Sir Benjamin C. Brodie, Bart., Surgeon to the Queen, directed to Mr. Thomas Holloway for F. Albinolo. " London, 14, Saville-row, June 19th, 1837. "Sir,-1 have made several trials of the Ointment which you sent me. I have found it useful in some instances; I am more inclined to employ those of which I know the composition, than I am to employ Signor Albinolo's Oint ment, the composition of which you have not informed me. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) "B. C. BRODIE " By Herbert Mayo, Esq., F.R.S.,Senior Surgeon to Middle sex Hospital, Professor of natomy and Pathology to the King's College, London, &c., directed to Mr. Thomas Holloway, for F. Albinolo. " Sir,—Will you have the goodness to excuse this informal answer. The ointment has been of use in all the cases in which I have used it. Send me, if you please, some more, in a few days time. I have enough for the present. (Signed) "H. MAYO. "Middlesex Hospital, April 9, 1837." By Herbert Mayo, Esq., F.R.S., &c. " Sir,—l am much obliged to you for your polite offer to send me more of the ointment which I tried at Mr. Hollo way's request. I really have kept no note of its effects be yond what my communication to Mr. Holloway contained. In a few cases of skin disease it was serviceable. The best case I had of its efficacy was one of scrofulous tubercles, on the face of a child, which mended rapidly with it.-19, George street, August 29, 1837. I am, &c.,_ (Signed) " 11ERBERT MAYO."

" Sir,—A few days ago, a gentleman, a friend of mine, was mentioning the distressing state in which his eldest son's head was placed by an obstinate ring -worm, which baffled all surgical aid. I recommended hint to try your Ointment, which •I had seen advertised in the "Monthly Magazine." He followed my advice, and in three days (after as many ap plications) his son's head was perfectly cured. If it be necessary, I can procure the testimonial of the gentleman above alluded to.

Sir,—A servant of my own, who for years has been labour ing under a chronic inflammation of the leg, accompanied with intense pain and general constitutional debility, imme diately on the receipt of your ointment, called " Alninolo's," she applied it accordint , to the direction, and immediately was free from pain.. Next night I administered it internally as well as externally, and the result is, she is greatly benefit ed, insomuch as she is enabled with ease to follow her daily avocation ; she also states that since the internal administra tion, she is relieved of a sickness which has troubled her for years.—l am, sir, yoursc., HENRYH THOMAS HOY, Practical Chemist.

It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to the Venereal Disease - owing to the.unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the constitution, and cause ulcerations, with blotches on the head, face, and body, dimness in the sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate gleets, and nodes on the shin hones, till at length a general debility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a melancholy death puts a period to their dread ful sufferings. PERRI"S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s. 9d. and Ils. per box, a certain, safe, and the most speedy re medy ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of venereal diseases, .gonorrhoea, gleets, strictures, semina weakness, in the loins, affections of the kidneys, gravel, lum bago, local debility, irritation of the bladder or urethra, and other diseases of the urinary passages, frequently performing a perfect cure in the short space of three days, by one small pill for a dose, with ease, secresy, and safety. The certainty with which they are continually administered can be attested by many thousands. Tne Specific Pills root out every parti cle of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but reno vate by their action the different functions of the body, ex pelling the grosser humours. and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their asto nishing and unequalled powers. They neither contain mer cury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, but effect a cam plete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain pre ventative, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, continue to direct their stu dies to those dreadful debilities arising from the too free and indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, and entail on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age, but weaken and destroy all the bodily senses, occasioning loss of imagination, judgment, and memory, indifference and aver sion for all pleasures. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, exces sive drinking, or any other cause, by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restorati n to sound and vigorous health. PERRPS VEGETABLE PILLS are well known for the certain and effectual remedy of secondary symptoms, venereal eruptions, pains in the bones, ulcerated sore throat diseased nose, chronic rheumatism, scrofula scorbutic and glandular affections, local and gene r al debility, nocturna pains in the head and limbs, depression of spirits, and al iseases arising from an impure state of the blood. 2, SLATER-STREET, LIVERPOOL.

The attention of Mothers, (especi lly during the period of nursing,) Invalids, and Families, i particularly called to th e above Patent Articles, being th urest Farina eof the Oat and Barley ever produced, de ived of their fermentative properties by a steam process. ROBINSON'S PATENT BARLEY cannot be equalled by any article for making pure Barley Water in a few minutes; all impurities being rejected, it is rendered more palatable than Barley Water made with Pearl Barley. It is an excellent adjunct with milk for the breakfast table, highly useful for culinary purposes, light suppers, making delicious puddings, thickening soups, also with the addition of lem on juice and sweetened, forms a most grateful beverage. ROBINSON'S PATENT GROATS, are universally esteemed for making a delicate Gruel; and both the Groats and Barley are a nutritious food for Children, and those suffering under difficult digestion. CAUTION.—The Patentees, having received a Special Warrant of Appointment as Purveyors to her Majesty, con sider it a duty they owe to themselves and the Public, to put them on their guard against imitation, and respectfully to point out, that on each Genuine Packet are placed, in addition to the Royal Arms, the words "By Royal Letters Patent," and the Signature of " WATTS.

Poor Grace Darling is likely to be brought from her peace ful abode in the hyperborean regions, and placed upon half the London stages. Already has she been dramatised at several of the minors with unequivocal success. Liberal offers, it is said, have been made to her to exhibit in a piece called "The Spirit of the Wave." Mrs. and Mr. Charles Matthews are daily expected from New York. Orders have been received at the Olympic to prepare for their reception. Ellen Tree is going through the United States, paying fare well visits. Her last appearance in America will take place at New York at the latter end of May, after which she em barks for London. She has had offers from the principal establishments, the most flattering one being Webster's, but declines making any engagement till her arrival. Her suc cess has been unprecedented. Taglioni has been engaged by the Imperial Opera at Vienna, to perform there for six months, commencing Ja nuary 15, at a salary of 12,5001. per month, in which, how ever, is included the remuneration to be given to her father for two new ballets of his composition. We are glad to learn that Mr. Rooke, the composer of " Amelie," has an opera ready for the Garden, which will be produced after Christmas. It is likely that Mr. add Mrs• Wood may appear in it Rice, the American actor, is in London, once more to " jump Jim Crow." The celebrated tenor, M. de Candia (the son. of a late go vernor of Nice), whose debut has been so long announced, is stated by the Paris papers to have made it on Friday night, under the incognito of Mario, and in the character of "Robert le Diable." His reception at the Academie Royale, it is added, was enthusiastic, and his success complete.

The best understanding exists between the manager and - the author, and never was for a moment interrupted, even to the extent . of a difference of opinion. The tragedy has only been withdrawn to,ailow time for the alterations which, in the judgment of both parties, are calculated to improve it as an acting play.—Morning Herald. DOVER, DEC. 10.—A number of men and boys,. volunteers for the nary, had embarked on board the Experiment, for conveyance from hence to the Nore, within the last few days. —Kentish Gazette. Fifteen apprentices were entered in Chatham dockyard on Monday—five shipwrights and l 0 caulkers; and orders have been received for five apprentices to be entered at the death of every shipwright, until the establishment of 40 be corn pleted.—Kentish Gazette. Distress warrants were granted by the county magistrates against 70 Radicals of Chatham, who have refused to pay their church-rates, It will thus be seen whether the law of the land or the philosophic Radicals in question are the strongest.—Kentish Gazette. A letter from Rome asserts that 900,(YJOf. have recently been transmitted to the Papal government from that part of Spain which is under the Queen's authority, for dispensation and other religious objects.

THE REVOLUTION AT BAHIA.—The particulars stated in this and otherjournals, under date of the 28th of October, from Bahia, of a revolution having broken out there, are not confirmed by advices to any of the merchants who correspond with that part of Brazil; and there is reason to believe them wholly without foundation.— Times. CURIOUS DECLARATION.—The following is a copy, verba tim et lite7atim, of a declaration tendered the other day before the magistrates. The words in italics distinguish the written declaration from the printed form, of tvhich it formed a con tinuation. "I, ---, of Liverpool, in the county of Lancaster, in the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ire land, labour, do solemnly and sincerely declare, that I ave in say peesion a Prair Book with my father's wrighttny in it wick shoes that i was Borh` on the 27 Day of March 1802 i believe someware in the County of Cent but I Donut know wheare. and that i make this solaria Declaration to Enableme to join a Sertin Benifitt Socity or Lody of odd fellows." In the corner of the declaration, a witty functionary.wrote "The declarant is well entitled to be an odd fellow." TRANSATLANTIC BOMBAST.—Of the nature of the de spatches sent to England we have heard nothing. It is said that Governor Arthur represents to the cabinet of St. James, that nothing but a declaration of a general war against the United States will preserve the Canadas to the mother country, or prevent the subversion of every aristocracy in western Europe. If it comes to Ibis, conic on. The United States are not in France—as France was in 1792, when Europe united to put her down. We have four millions of fighting men—a country unrivalled under heaven—and all the elements of independence within our own limits. If all Europe want to repress our freedom of thought and feeling, let them come here and try it. We care nothing for Canada, it is a cold, dirty, vagabond country—it is not worth fighting for. We have . 1,200,000,0 W of acres of choice unoccupied land in this Republic, enough to cut six Upper and Lower Canadas: but if the aristocrats of Europe want war, by the Great. God of Battles let them come on ! That's all. Deeply, most deeply will the House of Lords yet regret the vote that forced Lord Durham back to England.—New York Morning Herald.

Choice wines in abundance. —Bristol Mirror. The malignant interest (shown by Russia in the Canadian , insurrection is not confined to the remote posts of New Arch angel, or the banquet-contributions of Admiral Kupreseman, which have been mentioned in the French papers, and in the Times of yesterday. We have the best means of knowing that direct overtures have been made by a Russian agent in New York, under the disguise of a Polish refugee, to the Poles in this country. Money was lavishly offered to convey recruits to the frontier, and to equip them in the United States. The party of the Canadian Patriots was insidiously identified with those sacred rights of national independence which have more claim than any mercenary cause u p on t h e sword of a Polish soldier. Fort unately, the character of the agent was not unknown to the Poles iu England, and their good sense and proper feeling led them to reject with con tempt proposals evidently suggested by the desire of embar rassing the British government in North America on the one hand, and of rendering the Polish cause unpopular in England or the other. — Times. A NAME.—The Woods of Lancashire are a distinguished family for character, wealth, and talent; the eldest son, John Wood, has been returned member of parliament for Preston several times, and proved himself a steady su pp or t er o f c i vil and religious liberty. A laughable circumstance once took place upon a trial in Lancashire, where the head of the family, Mr. Wood, senior, was examined as a witness. Upon giving his name, Ottiwell Wood, the judge, addressing the reverend person, said, " Pray, Mr. Wood, how do you spell you name ?" The old gentleman replied,-- 0 double T I double U E double L Double U Double 0 D Upon which the astonished lawgiver laid down his pen, say ing it was the most extraordinary name he had ever met with in his life, and, after two or three attempts, declared he was unable to record it. The court was convulsed with laughter. —Gardiner's Music and Friends. The man named Elliot, whose name was much bruited about recently, as connected with a raffish duel, in which he killed a person named Alirfin, has been pursuing the same practices at Boulogne which made it convenient for him to select that town as a place of refuge. A few days ego he was playing at billiards with a French gentleman, when a differ ence of opinion arose as to a point of the game, and not being able to convince his parti of the error, he immediately assu med the demeanour , and tone of the Piccadilly Saloon, and blusteringly asked the gentleman "If he knew who he was." Yes," replied the latter, "1 am acquainted with your his tory, and I know you have been the principal in an affair dis graceful to morality, and offensive to decent manners." El liot became very angry at this reply, and threatened unutter able things about annihilation and a recourse to arms; when the other person asked him to await his return, and he would convince him of his error. In about five minutes he came back with the commissary of police and four gendarmes, and told Elliot that if he did not con d uct hi mself with propriety during his stay at Boulogne, and abstain from exciting brawls, the officers would be instructed to escort him to Dover, and give notice beforehand of their coming to the English police. Elliot was not aware that his opponent was a son of the Pre fect of the department of the Pas de Calais.—Sunderland Her ald. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—On the return of the ex pedition from Hanover, Major-General Sir Arthur Wellesley was appointed to the command of a brigade of infantry, stationed at Hastings, in the Sussex district, to the discipline, manoeuvre, and minute details of which he paid the most scrupulous attention. An intimate friend having inquired in familiar terms of him, n hen at Hastings, how he, having commanded armies of 40,000 men in the field, having re ceived the thanks of parliament for his victories, and having been made a Knight of the Bath, should submit to be reduced to the command of a brigade of infantry! "For this reason," was his answer—" I am nimmukwallah, as we say in the East; that is, I have ate of the king's salt, and, therefore, I conceive it to be my duty to serve with unhesitating zeal and cheerfulness when and wherever the king or his government may think proper to employ me." This maxim has the more force, from there being officers in the army who unfortunately for them, having declined subordinate employ, from flatter ing themselves with superior pretensions, have repented their decision during their professional lives; and it is for this reason that the compiler has presumed to draw the attention of those who may hereafter be placed in similar circumstances to the great military principle as well as to the example of the Duke of Wellington.— Gurwood's Despatches of the Duke of Wellington. IRISH RAILWAYS.—The committee which has been sitting at the Commercial-buildings, Dublin, for some weeks past, upon the subject of railways in Ireland, and which is under stood to represent the views of private enterprise, in contra distiction to the Charlemont House committee, which inclines to the government plan, has, it seems, agreed to 'a report, which was presented to Lord Morpeth by a deputation on Saturday last. Sir S. O'Malley, Bart., Messrs. James Dwyer, St. George, Bermingham, &c., formed the deputation, and explained the labours of the committee. and the con clusions arrived at: The interview lasted more than an hour. Lord Morpeth is reported to have expressed himself deci dedly against any grants of public money for railways, and to have characterised the hope of such a thing as a mere delusion. He added, however, that he thought the introduc tion of railways into Ireland might be encouraged by loans. The deputation, as we are informed, withdrew with a convic tion that the scheme, if ever it really existed, of making railways in Ireland at the public expense, has been utterly abandoned by the Irish government.—Times.
