PATENT HEMPEN LATHE-BANDS, STRA PS OR BELTS, FOR TURNING, DRIVING, OR CAR RYING MACHINERY. Z IHE Inventor and P a t entee of the above article, having long experienced the heavy cost of the Bands or Straps hitherto in general use, has, after devoting much time, and incurring considerable expense, succeeded in providing a Substitute, which will be found, on trial, more lasting, and more efficient in operation, than those made, of any other material heretofore used. After thus deliberately pronouncing the superiority of the PATENT HEMPEN BANDS or STRAPS, which the Patentee has it in his power to confirm, by numerous testimonials in his posse ssion, furnished him as the results of practical ex perience, it can only be further necessary, to ensure the general adoption of this valuable invention, to state to En gineers, Manufacturers, Millwrights, Machinists, and others using Straps, Belts, or Bands, that they can be promptly sup plied to any extent, at about half of the cost of the material in general use. A newspaper advertisement being too circumscribed to detail the peculiar advantages of the Patent Bands, it may suffice to state, that their great strength, freeness from stretching or expansion, firmness of holding; and trueness of running, render them decidedly the best article hitherto dis covered for the carrying of Tachinery. With the Patent Bands, the power to move is not an ob ject, as they can be made of any strength, of any length, and from two inches to fourteen inches broad, the price decreasing as the breadth increases, which must be a stronger induce ment to the adoption of the broad Bands in lieu of Shafts. In case of Order, it is necessary that the overlap be included in the length of the Bands required ; and all Orders, Letters of Inquiry, or Requests for Reference, will be promptly attended to by the Patentee, ILTON WOOD, Patent Hempen Band Manufactory, 12, Wapping, Liverpool FOR THE GROWTH, PRESERVATION; AND EM BELLISHMENT OF THE HAIR. MIDDLEWOOD'S BOTANIC OR FAMILY HAIR OIL. I M. respectfully solicits a trial of this inestimable Oil. 0 • where its efficacy is not known. It is patronised by families of distinction, and held in high estimation at the Toilet. It has been proved, by many experiments, in restor ing the Hair, when every other application has failed ; and when the Hair is on the decline, or becoming.grey, it reno vates and produces its original lustre. The Proprietor's TREATISE ON HAIR, sold at Id. each, contains testimonials of the efficacy of the Botanic OM; and also, interesting remarks upon the growth and preserva tion of the human hair. By a Medical Gentleman in Dublin. In answer to inquiries, J. M. respectfully informs his Friends and the Public he is making arrangements which will insure to the Public the Genuine Botanic Oil in all parts of the Kingdom in its pure and unadulterated state ; and should any doubts exist of the great utility of the Botanic Oil, the Proprietor refers them to the decision of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the testimonials proved before Parlia ment on the 10th April, 1830. J. M. also wishes to apprise the Public of various attempts to suppress the sale of the Botanic Oil, not by competition, hut by secret means. Ven dors► throughout the Kingdom were cautioned against selling Middlewood's Soap and Oil, as it was subject to Medicine Duty ; and informations were laid against the Proprietor. J. M. acknowledges the informations, at two distant periods, each penalty £5O ; but in case the Proprietor had sold the above illegally, it proves the article superior to anything sold avowedly for the same use, as no similar article was ever charged with duty. J. M. will for the present offer no com ments ; the proceedings adopted to suppress the sale is the best possible recommendation ; and so well satisfied is go vernment of the great utility of the Botanic Oil, that no further interruption will be given to the sale of the Botanic Oil and Vegetable Soap, which will be found of more exten sive sale than any other similar articles. j. M. has substituted Pot Boxes in lieu of Bottles, as more convenient; the present reduced price is 25., 3s. Gd., 55., and in Bottles, for the Toilet, 10s. Wholesale and Export Orders on the shortest notice. J. M. will engage that, where the Botanic Oil is used, either in Public Seminaries or Families, the hair and scalp shall never be infected with any cutaneous disease, as ring worm, &c. &c., such is its emolient properties. Orders, with references or remittances, addressed to J. MIDDLEWOOD, PARKER-STREET, LIVEUPOOL, will be duly forwarded, with customary allowances. The Botanic Oil is a valuable speculation, as no article can com pete with it as Hair Oil. REDUCED FARES. DOUGLAS, ISLE or MAN, AND LIVERPOOL, DAILY CABIN FARE, 7s. Gcl. ; STEERAGE, 33.

SAMUEL PERRY, Agent. MILK PUNCH ROYAL'. MANUFACTURER OF MILK PUNCH TO HER MAJESTY. THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a century, been duly appreciated at CHICHESTER: A/0 THE METROPOLIS. It was at the former place where the original projector of this delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked their approbation of this GREAT DISCOVERY, • by presenting to him the freedom of the on ; but with that the present generation have nothing to 46 ; suffice it to say, hat this ELIXIR is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the bon rivants of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for their judgment. It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ; and while THE LORDS OF THE CREATION will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table, THE GENTLER SEX may not disdainOYA Lto sip TY , the more so as R has acknowledged its transcendant merit. It has been intimated that it will prevent SEA SICKNESS, . . but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the " britly deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro prietqgs of -1. PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate, and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence, improves by aye. LE GRAND GOURMAND will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this incomparable Liqueur. " Come and try, Don't like—don't buy," is an old saying and a good one ; and as in matters of taste every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind. ---- - Sold, at 245. per dozen in pint bottles, and 425. per dozen in quarts, by B.

GLASGOW, PAISLEY, AND GREENOCK RAILWAY THE STATUTORY HALF-YEARLY MEETING of PROPRIETORS, was held Tats DAY, in the Sheriff Court Hall, ROBERT DOW KER, ESQ., in the Chair Captain Iluish read the advertisern , eAt calling the meeting, rind the following Report : EIGHTH HALF-YEARLY REPORT. Greenock, July 2, 1841. The Directors have much gratification in presenting their present Report. The Railway has now been opened for three months ; and although this period is insufficient to bring into operation the resources of the Line, or to mature those ar rangements which are essential to its complete success, yet enough has been accomplished to indicate that the calcula tions of traffic, on which the Railway was first based, are substantially correct, and to satisfy the Directors that the expectations held out will be realized. before proceeding to analyze the results of the traffic, the Board beg to lay before the proprietors the following Report of their Engineer : ENGINEER 'S RALF-YEARLY REPORT To ROBERT D. KER B ESQ Sir,—The Railway having been opened to the public on the 31st March, with both lines complete, I have merely to report that the Contractors have upheld the road to my sa tisfaction, and that the works, without exception, prove to be of the firm and stable character anticipated. The embankments, which are generally troublesome on a new work, stand even better than I expected; and, notwith standino• the heavy traffic on your road, I do not doubt that it will be kept in that thoroughly efficient state of repair, so essential to the comfort of the public, at an unusually low rate. am carrying out Mr. Locke's plans for the Goods' Sta tions, as rapidly as possible, and adapting them to the pecu liar description of traffic, which we have now ascertained we must provide for to a large extent. Having, at the request of the Board, undertaken to or ganize the same system of out-door management, on this Line, that I had established on the Joint Line ; I am glad to state the result has been equally satisfactory, for your Trains have now run upwards of 50,000 miles, and carried about 360,000 passengers in perfect safety. The trip has generally been run within the hour, and this time may ultimately be reduced; but I do not think a rapid speed advisable on any new line, however perfect the arrange ments ; and the time-tables remain for the present, therefore, as at the opening. _ The Locomotive Department has been carefully watched, and especial pains taken in the selection of workmen for that service. It is so vital a part of the Railway system, that I am rejoiced to find the Directors wish to hold out every rea sonable inducement to their servants for continuing their present exemplary conduct, by placing at my disposal pre miums, for exactness in time, and attention to their duties. The system of rewards by premium, and puuishment by fine, together with a uniform care for their comfort, has hitherto produced, and will, I believe, best ensure respect able and-trust-worthy engine-men. Time is requisite to produce perfect arrangement on a Railway, as in every other great work ; but I trust a sincere desire to afford every possible convenience to the public will continue to distinguish your servants, while uuder my I remain, Your obedient servant, Greenock, 21st June, 1841. J. E. ERRINGTON. management Next to the safety of the public, which it has been . the unceasing care of all concerned with the management of the Railway to secure, their convenience and comfort have en gaged the attention of the Directors and their Officers. The Board felt that, by a close regard to these points, added to the speed and regularity of the communication, they might look for public support, in the face of an opposition which they had to encounter, from the greatly reduced fares on the River and Canal. It is satisfactory to find that their exer tions have been so far successful as already to obtain a large proportion of passengers, and they contemplate a steady and considerable augmentation, by giving those increased facili ties, and extending those advantages ; which the Railway has already partially afforded to all classes of the community. In order to provide for this, it was necessary to make some sacrifice at the outset ; and the Directors, finding that they were unable to complete the arrangements required for the public accommodation, employed several Steam-boats to work exclusively with the Railway. This measure has produced the effect which the Directors anticipated ; and although the boats themselves have entailed a temporary expense on the funds of the Proprietors, it has enabled the Board to make satisfactory terms with several Companies, and negotiations are now proceeding with others, which the Directors hope will altogether relieve the funds from any further expense. The Shareholders will also bear in mind the large proportion of trade brought to the Railway by means of these boats. Should, however, it hereafter turn out that these arrange ments do not work satisfactorily to the public, several of the large Shareholders are willing to assist in establishing an effective Steam-Boat Company, and placing at the command of the Railway Company several fast and first-rate boats, in which the discipline and regularity of the Railway will be enforced. In fixing the rates, the Board was not influenced by any desire to injure existing interests, but to settle such a scale of fares, as, when a considerable proportion of the existing traffic should be transferred to the Railway, would afford a satisfactory remuneration to the Shareholders for the capital they had invested. These fares are unusually low, but the Directors trusted that, as the expenses were in a great degree a fixed quantity, while the receipts fluctuated with the amount of traffic, a sufficient number of passengers might be drawn to the Railway at low fares to produce a large aggregate sum. The result already confirms the soundness of this view. The total sum received for this Company's proportion of six months on the Joint Line, and two months on the Tho rough, is £9,708 2s. 7d. It appears from the returns that 2,017,361 passengers have been carried one mile. This gives the average fare per mile, 1.15 d. The whole expense incur red in conveying this number, is £5,198 Od. 7d., or by the same process 61 per mile; in other words, the cost has been a shade above one halfpenny per passenger per mile ; this includes the government tax, which absorbs nearly one fourth of it. In making up these expenses, every usual charge has been included, excepting maintenance of way, and fund for de preciation. The former of these will not form a burden on the revenue for twelve months, and before that time, there is good reason to believe, that the system of taxation will be so changed, that the Proprietors will be relieved to an ex tent commensurate with the charge under this head. The Directors have received tenders for the future upholding of the road at a very small cost. but have not yet considered it expedient to close with any one. When therefore it is remembered, that during 4 out of 6 menthe, an expensive establishment had to be kept up for 7 miles, which, on that portion of it, has not been increased by the opening of the whole Line—that the traffic is steadily in creasing —and that the expenses do not expand in the same ratio—that no goods had been carried—that a considerable part of the existing passenger traffic is still in the hands of the Steam-boat proprietors, at a sacrifice of their fares which the Directors believe cannot be continued—that the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, about to be opened, will materially in cease the revenue, by connecting the East and West Coasts ; and, lastly, that the extraordinary depression in every branch of business this season has greatly checked both business and pleasure travelling—the Directors feel confidence in stating that the ordinary working expenses, ' even at their low fares, will be considerably under 50 per cent. The average number of passengers per diem, from the opening to Ist June, including the proportion of the Joint Line, has been £2,lsB—average number of passengers per Train, 116. The expense of locomotive power per mile is Is. 21d., and this includes the cost of repairing one Engine used in the construction of the road, and the expense of two spare En gines constantly kept with their steam up. No subject has caused greater anxiety to the Board than . the present mode of levying the government tax, and so im portant did they consider it, that they felt called upon to _ . , . send a deputation to London to co-operate with other Rail way Companies in their endeavour to obtain a modification. It gives the Directors much pleasure to report, that all poli- tica parties seem to concur in the necessity 'for a change, and they are satisfied, from the pledges given, that an altera tion may be soon expected. The Company are not prepared to carry goods, excepting on a limited scale ; but the Board are pressing forward the necessary arrangements ; and from the promises they have already received, and the power they possess to carry cheap ly, as well as speedily, there can be no doubt that a very large proportion of this valuable traffic will come to the Railway. In the meantime the business is carried on prin cipally through the agency of the Passenger Trains, and is therefore very economically managed. The Directors anticipate a considerable trade in coals ; and they are negotiating with a Proprietor who offers to send down GO tons per day as a minimum, which will after wards be greatly increased. A saving will be effected in the price at Greenock, which will re-act beneficially on other branches of the Company's business. The Directors are also preparing to carry timber. The local authorities are alive to the important influence which the Railway will exercise on the Trade of the Port ; and they are engaged in preparing, to a considerable extent, ad ditional Harbour accommodation, in direct connexion with the Railway, and by which the Railway waggons will be carried alongside the vessels. The new Rill to empower the Company to raise £lOO,OOO by the issue of fresh stock, received the royal assent on the 6th of April last, and in terms of the resolution of the Pro prietors at their special meeting on the 28th of April, Half Shares to that extent have been created. These have been readily taken by the present Proprietors, and now bear a considerable premium in the market. The works on the Railway have been some time out of hand, and are in admirable order. The Stations are still incomplete, but a very short time will finish them. The permanent Engine Sheds are in use. The funds which the new bill has placed at the company's command have enabled the Directors to push forward all the various permanent erections and conveniences, so important for the conduct of a Railway ; and little remains now to be done. _ The contracts are nearly cleared off. In settling with the Contractor a difference has arisen on some ite ms , and these are referred to the arbitration of the Engineer, M r . L oc k e. The stock now at work is nearly all paid for. The cost for construction is also nearly ascertained, ex cepting where final awards on land h ave not been received, and pending the decision of the claim above referred to, is about the sum expected at last half-yearly meeting. Any further expenditure must depend on circumstances, viz., the amount of trade and the conseque n t accommodation, required for it, both in stations, engines, w aggons, and carriages. The latter have already proved inadequate to the necessities of the trade, and there has frequently been a deficiency when most needed. The supply now in course of delivery will, it is hoped, prevent a recurrence of the disappointments some times experienced ; and t h e Directors avail themselves of this opportunity of acknowledging the forbearance and con sideration of the public generally, and their cheerful accept- SATURDAY TO-MORROW, (Saturday,) the 10th instant, at Eleven o'clock, at the Office of C.

GENTLEMEN, FOR the honour which you have thi s d ay c on f erre d upon me, in electing me fo r a fifth time one of your Repre sentatives in Parliament, I tender you milleartielt thanks. I beg to assure you that this flattering renewal of your confidence will stimulate me to make the only return to you which is in my power, namely, by renewed and if possible increased attention to you r Interests, and renewed and it possible increased exertio n for the promotion of your wel fare. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obedient, humble servant, J. WILSON PATTEN. Lancaster, July Gth, 1841. ance of the best accommodation they could provide for them oa crowded clays. A greater supply of waggons will be required than was ex pected, not only for the general trade—which the Director believe will be very large—but for the transit of coal. Th Company possess considerable station-room, but till they see clearly the nature and extent of the trade, they will not expend more than a very small sum in buildings. Whatever it may ultimately prove to be, the Proprietors will not object to a corresponding outlay for its proper accommodation ; and the Directors are now obtaining that experience which will enable them to provide this, as required in the most econo mical manner. Your Directors considered it advisable, for the protection of your interests, to petition Parliament against a certain clause in the Bill for the regulation of Railways, which they considered as mischievous ; and they have to state, that a Committee of the House has reported against the obnoxious clause The Directors have now adverted to the matters of leading interest in your concern, and they cannot take leave of the Proprietors without congratulating them on the prospects which the Railway holds out of realizing the high hopes which were entertained of it. That the first cost should have exceeded the estimates is scarcely to be wondered at, when the localities are considered ; but the Directors, now when the works are finished. cannot discover that hasty or ill-considered decisions have caused an injudicious expenditure ; and they are certain, that, as each day developes the immense resources of the line, the Pro prietors will have fresh cause to be satisfied that the extensions of the original plan arc calculated to secure lasting and inva luable advantages to the Railway. MARK HUISH, Seeretary. The Chairman remarked that there was apart of the dire tore ,. report that he would read himself. It was as follow . " TLe directors cannot conclude their,report ✓ without ad ad- verting to the retirement of their respected secretary, Capt. Huish ; and in order to testify the sense which they and the shareholders entertain of his able, faithful, and zealous ser vices in the cause of the railway, the directors have voted the sum of :1.300, subject to the approbation of the general meeting, to be expended in the purchase of a piece of plate, to be presented to him, with a suitable inscription, previous to his departure for the new sphere of his labours." The chairman trusted that the measures of the directors would be approved by the general body of shareholders. Ht had nothing to add, but simply to bespeak the favourable reception of his report. Since last half-yearly meetir imi pOrtant era had Occurred in the history of the railwaj•, I its - opening on the 30th March. He congratulated the meet ing on that auspicious event, on the highly favourable corn mencement of the traffic, and the increased value of th, shares. The satisfaption of all who had travelled by the rail way, the excellence of the road, and the good r working of the trains, had been everywhere es acknowledged. The number of passengers carried as great as could fairly be expected, considering the period of the year at the opening, and for same time after,—the restraint which was laid upon travelling by the pressure of the times, together with the many disadvan tages with which every new undertaking at the outset, had to contend, but which every day's progress tended to obvi ate and remove. Should the amount of traffic fall short of the expectations of any, there must be kept in mind the number of competing conveyances which, at greatly re duced fares, are still sharing the traffic with the railway,— the result was amply sufficient to prove the public prefer ence of the railway, and with no wish to undervalue the efforts of our respectable rivals, the river and canal, it was equally obvious that no successful opposition can be long maintained against the great facilities, and daily developing resources of the Railway. The carriage of Goods would, he had no doubt, be very extensive when the arrangements were completed ; but at present uo more than a limited quantity could be taken. In the course of a month every thing would be in readiness to prosecute any extent of trade. At this stage it was no small matter of congratulation the unanimity which had characterised the past proceedings of the Railway, not only at the Board, but also between the Directors and the Shareholders. To that happy circum stance may be attributed much of that prosperity which had marked its past course ; and with a continuance of the same harmonious co-operation, the best results might be antici pated for this undertaking, which now more than ever pro mised to realise the highest hopes of the Share holders, and to prove a permanent good to the country. lie-could not sit down without adverting to the loss which the Company were about to sustain by the intended resigna- and elf Lion of their respected Secretary, Capt. Huish, who, in con sequence of an offer made to him by the Directors of the Grand Junction Railway, was about to vacate his office here, and transfer his services to the wider field of that great Com pany. It was well known the high estimation in which Capt. Huish was held by the Directors ; and, while they regret the prospect of parting with him, a feeling in which he was sure the meeting would participate, they, at same time, for the regard they felt for Capt. Huish's welfare, were pleased that a wider field awaited the exercise of his talents, and conse quently a reward more proportioned to his merits than could be afforded here. The completion of the works brought us close to the termination of our engagement with Mr. Locke and his valuable coadjutors in the engineering department. The public had pronounced the most fitting eulogium on these gentlemen by their universal admiration} of their handi work, and it was unnecessary for him to add more than that the several duties were executed with the highest honour to themselves, and to the entire satisfaction of the Board. He was happy to add that Mr. Locke's services, under a new agreement, would still be given when required as consulting engineer of the Line. Mr. Errington was presently in charge of working the Line, and Mr. Davidson was engaged in finishing those portions of the work which require comple tion. With the conduct of the other officers, superior and subordinate, of the various departments, the Board are much satisfied •, and the servants, with a very few exceptions of fine and dismissal, have also done well. He took this occa sion of assuring every individual in the service of the Rail way, that it was the anxious desire of the Directors to reward merit, and their eye would be directed towards those whose deserts entitled them to promotion or other reward, when opportunities occurred, by vacancies or otherwise, of bring ing forward deserving individuals, whose conduct and ser vices should render them worthy of the special notice of the Board. Andrew Donaldson Campbell, Esq., of Ashcraig, expressed his approval of the Report, and stated that the compliment which was proposed to be given to Captain Hnish was well merited by that gentleman. He moved—" That the Report which had been read be adopted, printed, and circulated among the Proprietors, and that the resolution of the Direc tors regarding a mark of their esteem for the Secretary be confirmed." David Balderston. Esq., seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The Chairman slated that Mr. Errington was present to answer any questions that might be put to him, respecting the state of the works, or any other subject connected with the Line, upon which information might be desired. After a short pause, James Baird, Esq., said, it might be satisfactory for the meeting to know something regarding other railways, which might be calculated to throw light upon their own prospects. With this view he had looked into the Railway Times of Saturday last, and he found that the cost of the Grand Junc tion Railway was £22,000 per mile, and that the return for the weekly traffic was £B9 per mile, and that it paid a divi dend of 13 per cent. The cost of the Greenock line was £27,000 per mile, and as the traffic produced £4l per mile per week, it would allow a dividend of 5 per cent. The cost of the London and Birmingham line was £52,560 per mile, and the weekly traffic upon it produced £173. 16 s . Th e dividend paid there was 8/ per cent., or just about the same proportion. The case of the Liverpool and Manchester line also tended to confirm the estimate he had formed. The cost there was £45,484 per mile, and the weekly traffic for the same distance £lB5. 3s. which produced a dividend of 10i per cent. The same journal contained a communication entitled " Railway Prospects," which gave some account of the former and present condition of certain Railways, and alluded to the depressing influence of the dullness of trad and the contracted state of the Money Market The circu lation of the Bank of England, at the present moment, was a million and a half below what it was in 1839, which, of course, had a tendency to depress Railway shares, and to lessen their traffic. In fact, the Grand Junction stock, upon which an annual dividend of 13 per cent. was paid, did not bring more at this moment than £202, and other stock of the same description had suffered in proportion. A single good harvest, however, of which there was at present hap pily every prospect, would soon restore the Money Market to its former easy condition, and Railway shares would pro bably derive more immediate benefit from such a change, than any other description of stock. The same writer men tioned a circumstance connected with the London and Birmingham line, which was highly encouraging to the, proprietors of the Greenock Railway. During the eleven weeks from the 9th April to 30th June, 1839, the receipts were at the rate of £45 per mile weekly, while they now, as he formerly stated, had increased to £173 per mile. These he thought highly encouraging facts which the meeting would be glad to hear. Captain Huish, on rising, said, Mr. Baird's calculation of the profits of the Greenock Line had been taken for a period when their receipts barely averaged £BOO per week; but for some time past their receipts had considerably exceeded £9OO, which would add more than 1 per cent to the estimate. (Cheers.) In alluding to the resolution regarding him, he trusted they would allow him to state, that be was quite un aware when he entered the Hall that such a public compli ment was intended to be paid him, and he felt altogether unable to express his feelings on the occasion. He had already taken an opportunity to convey to the Board the deep sense he entertained of the uniform kindness with which they had treated him ever since_he was connected with them. The readiness with which they listened to every suggestion which he made, with a view to the improvement of their great undertaking, made it a pleasure to perform his duties. He felt deeply grateful to the shareholders for the mark of their favour which they had agreed to bestow upon him. Had their undertaking been an unsuccessful one he would have had some scruples about accepting it ; but he felt persuaded, that the railway would not only benefit extensively the conntry through which it traversed, but would be a fruitful source of profit to the shareholders, of whom he was one. (Cheers.) The first remark that he had made at a meeting in this town, before a spade had been put in the ground, was, that their line would be a little Liverpool and Manchester one. The only change which his subsequent experience had induced him to make upon that saying was to change the word "little " into " great." He saw great prospects of traffic lying before them, which a short time would bring into operation. Some had expressed disappointment at the num ber of passengers which were still conveyed by the river after all which the railway had taken .away ; but for his part lie regarded the matter with totally different feelings, as showing how many more passengers were yet in store for the railway —for come to it they would at last. The more he investi gated the subject, and observed the tendency of all traffic to flow into the best channel, the more convinced he felt that it was utterly impossible for the river long to compete success fully with the railway. (Cheers.) He could not sit down without adverting to the kind courtesy and warm hospitality which he bad ever met with from the inhabitants of Greenock generally during the time he had been domiciled among them. He was happy to avail himself of this public opportunity to acknowledge their kindness ' and to st a t e th at w h erever h e should be placed he would regard a Greenock man as a friend. (Cheers.) lie again thanked them all for their kindness, which could never be effaced from his mind. Wm Leitch, Esq., remarked that he had observed in the Greenock Advertiser of that morning a paragraph upon the subject of carrying the Mail, which he thought well worthy of being brought under the notice of the meeting. He wished to know if any explanation could be given in regard to the matter ? Captain Huish sa id th e P os t Offi ce h a d contrac t e d w ith the Railway Company to carry the Mails four times a day, and the selection of the hours was left to the former. But he could assure the meeting that upon any occasion, when the Mail was not forward in time to go by the appointed train, if it were taken to the station-house for the next departure, it would be forwarded as a matter of course. So intense was the anxiety yesterday to receive the London papers, that the Directors would willingly have despatched a special train to bring it on rather than that the delay that had occurred should have taken place. (Cheers.) The Railway would convey the Mail bags whenever they were brought to it, and h e trusted that future delays of the kind, should they n eeni . , would not be blamed on them. It was agreed to refer the matter to the Chamber of Com merce, to endeavour to have it arranged so, that when any Mail arrived too late for the appointed train it sh ou ld be de spatched by the next. • Allan Full er t o n, Esq., asked whether the Directors had receive d an y authentic information as -to the time when e Edi n b ur gh and Glasgow Railway would be thanksopend :erctitile: vote C .
