Prevention of so dreadful a calamity as Fire will I always be considered of the first importance to Society, and the discovery of a Composition which renders timber and other materials indestructible by that element, will form a new era in the building of Houses, Shipping, and every erection in which wood is employed. The experiments which have been already submitted to the Public have convinced the scientific world of the extensive utility of this Invention, and of the impossibility of burning Timber when covered with this preparation. By an easy and cheap process. Ceilings, Partitions, Staircases, &c. can be covered with this Fire-proof material. It is alike applicable to Houses under repair as well as when building—a slight coating being sufficient to secure the wood-work from burning. It is susceptible of as tine a Polish as marble, and can be -Painted : over or stuccoed. with ornamental devices,. in accordance a jib the taste or design of the architect or builder. As it would he impossible for the individual exertions of the Patentees to render an invention of such immense importance, and so truly national in the extent of its application, beneficial to the general interests of society, without the aid of an influ ential pronrietary ; they have. therefore decided on establishing a Public Company for securing front Fire. National and Public Buildings,' Houses. Shipping, Granaries, Warehouses, &e. The Proprietors feel it necessary to advert to the intrinsic value of this Invention, further than to state, that from the satisfactory results of the experiments, the whole of the late ealatnitous fires' in the Metropolis would have been entirely prevented from extending beyond the apartments in which they -first originated, by the use of this Compoiition. • rl deed of settlement will - be preparedovith all the usual and requisite clauses, in which will be inserted, an explicit condition that no Shareholder shall be subject to any fin-tiler risk Or liability than the'amount of the Shares he may have subscribed for. •-•- Applie4tions for Shares to be matte" to Messrs.

IROFESSOR SWEDOU R'S HYGEIAN HERB PILLS, for the effectual extirpation of every species'and symptom of the SYPHILITIC DISEASE, and the disorders arising frnta improper treatment. Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor, at No. 54. SELL-STREET, LIVERPOOL. , In boxes at 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. each. Warranted not to contain COPAIBA, CUBEBS, or any • • - .• ft e tet e r s mgre , bent. . . . **.* With-each. Box is given — a Treatise on Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases, with. observations on seminal weakness &c.,&e., containing hints worth knowing by those who are, or have been s,it - l'erers to this dreadful and devastating malady. Dr. DAVI ESON continues to direct his attention to those dis orders arising froM the too free and indiscr►minate indulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, but also entails on its votaries all the ener vating imbecilities of old age. In that distressing state of de bility and deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful ha bits, excessive drinking, or ens' other cause by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the ve nereal disease. owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the constitution, and when the great Doctor Swedour became Professor at Ley den University, he conferred an invaluable benefit upon man kind by the discovery of his grand Panacea, for the cure of this deplorable complaint. Never did a discovery excite a greater sensation. it. was sought after with avidity, and used with the 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 introduction into almost every country. The certainty with which they were continually administered can he attested by many thousands. in fact, during the long conti nental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the soldier, in all cases where the slightest susnicion of infec tion was entertained. What medicine can he more appropriate than that which hasgiven such general satisfaction ? The Hyge ian Herb Pills root out every partkle of insidious poison, puri fying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but renovate by their art ion the different functions of the body expelling the grosser Immonra, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as try convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers. The neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the. slightest slspicion of discavery—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 welko have recourse to the llygeian Herb Pills, for before the disease has wade its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplorable state in which many persons hare been when visiting the proprietor, fiom the use of mercury, 'renders it im peratively necessari to cant ion the public against that dangerous mineral ia-hen injudiciously administered. These Pills should form a portion of all Medicine Chests, by sea and laud, and ought neverto beomitted by any person going a long voyage or journey, their properties are such that neither heat nor cold will injure their quality, or;prevent the due effects on lire constitution. Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, from Fight in the morning until Ten at night, (on Sundays from Nin± till Two,) where he gives advice to all applicants taking any of his preparations.

Paossom still Advertises his stale, fiat, and unpr6fitabfe" tale of' woes and injuries inflicted upon. him by me, 1 think I am called upon- to enter more fully into the statement of facts than 1 did in my former Advertisement. Whether Mr. Promoli persists, like the vender of quack nostrums, to • advertise upon. the supposition, (as the quacks calculate,) that, for every person in the -world possessing common sense, there ate we thousand fools. I know not; but this I do know, that Mr. Promoli has no just cause of complaint against me. I have no doubt that the Bazaar is as heavy a weight to Mr. P. as the Globe is to Atlas; and, there fore, if the interesting and soliciting Advertisement will bring support to the burden, it may be excusable; though, at the same time, I think it would be more amusing if he would. ring the changes upon his tale of sorrow. An ingenious beggar con tinually moves his position or alters his appearance; and we have known instances of men making lot tunes in this way, simply by incitation. Mr. Promoli will under Stand hew this applies, and, I trust, he will be benefitted by the hint, and not snake .a picture of fun of himself. if my brother Thomas overcharged his statements as to the great profits that had and might be real- . ized from this bazaar, I am sorry for it; but 1 must remark, that I had nothing, either directly or indirectly, to do with the ne gociation betweeen them, and if Mr. P. has had a hard bargain he ought not to vent his complaints on me. I,was in Liverpool in business long before my brother came here, and was doing well, when, at the earnest request of our late father, I took him into partnership, and, as he was the elder, 1 allowed his name to stand first in the firm. - We disagreed, and dissolved par:ner ship upon certain conditions, which my brother has not fulfilled, but which I am now compelling him by law to do. Mr. Promoli knew, at the time he was negociating for the Bazaar, that a right was reserved to me to establish myself in the same line of busi ness as Mr. P. now carries on, and in any part of this toss n. Under these circumstances, I leave the public to judge whether the complaint of Mr. Promoli, put out in such a sinister way against use, is just, and whether complaint (if any) ought nut to have been made by J. C. WOOLFIELD, Glasgow Ilouse, 30, Church-street. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Sundgy Times.) CITY, SATURDAY.--II is satisfactory to state that the indica tions of a retain to activity in most branches of commerce are becoming more general. The American, the East Indian, and the West Indian trades, are, comparatively speaking brisk, as compared with their previous state. Money for commercial purposes continues, however, very abundant. 'lt can be bor rowed upon stock, or other approved securities at 2 to 236, per cent., almost to any amount. It is anticipated that there will. be ere long a, brisk demand fur specie fur export to the Baltic ports, to , meet the cost of Foreign Grain. The backward state of the crops in-this country, and the injury they have sustained by the severe weather, rendering it improbable that anything like an average harvest will be housed. According to the ac counts from the United States, the prospects of the.tarmer there were not by any means favourable, and the stocks of foreign grain were much reduced. A large exportation of wheat from foreign, as well as from British ports, to America, may there fore be anticipated during the next four months. This will, in some degree, tend to lessen the balance of trade, which is be coming rather extensive against this country. Theinformation brought by the Great Western steam ship from New York to the Bth instant, is of much importance. The Banks, or at least many of them, bad commenced specie pay- . merits, both in New York and Boston, but it is said those of Philadelphia, including the United States Bank, would net fol low the same course. from the latest returns which had been• completed, it appears that the specie possessed in the aggregate, by all the banks of the United States, was nearly as great as it was six months before the suspension took place; that not less than 6,000,0()0 dollars in gold had arrived between the Ist of January and the Bth instant. The total reduction in the circulation of the banks since the panic begun, is about 38 millions of dollars, and the whole amouut of paper money afloat (viz. bank notes), was estimated on the Ist instant at no more than 100,000.0(X) dollars, and the diminution in the deposits had beers 46,000,000 dollars. It is not surprising under these circumstances that so long a period has occurred without any marked improvement in money matters in America. The total amount of specie in the vaults of the Uuited.States' Bank on the Ist inst. was estimated at between 38,000,000 and 40,000,000 of dollars. The Ameri cans continue to press forward their produce with the utmost activity, especially cotton. From the last letters it appears that the actual shipments of this article this season, has been 982,00 Q . bales, exceeding the exports of 1837 by 200,0(X) bales, and those at the corresponding period of 1836 by 320,000 bales. Of To bacco, Turpentine, and other articles, the quantities coming forward are also very considerable; under these circumstances a very long period calluot i . now elapse before we have a brisk export trade in manufactured goods to the United States. The prices of Stock have fluctuated rather frequently this week. The tendency of the prices has been downwards for the last few days, money having been in increasedsdemaud. Several con siderable amounts of Stock, as well as of Exchequer Bills, have been pressed upon the market by the speculators which have reduced the value of Consuls Iron 9.4 a to 943 ; of the Three peer Cent Reduced, from 935 to 924 ; and of the New Three-and-a- Ilalf per Cents Reduced, from 102 i to 1021 A material de cline has taken place in Exchequer Bills, in untiripation of ad ditional issues of this species of security; yesterday sales were made at 60 premium, being 10 lower than the price obtainable on this day week. India Bonds are also cheaper, having fallen from 78 to 62 premium. - Bank and India Stocks have suffered a depression of about 4 to 4 per cent., but upon the lowest prices a slight improvement took place Yesterday, when the former closed at 2044, and the latter at 2704. The changes on the-Foreign Stuck Exchange this week have been unimportant, excepting in Spanish, Portuguese, and Bra zilian Bonds. , A fall iu Spanish took place a day or two back to 213 4, but yesterday 21i was obtained, as the news from the uortheru portions of the kingdom was favourable to the consti tutional cause. It is still very doubtful what plan will be adopted by the government of Spain to obtain the supplies she requires. Au opposition to M, Aguado's.proposal for a uew. loan has been started, which was under consideration at the date of the last letters. The - Five per Cent Portuguese Stock fell on the Thurs day to 344, and the Three per Cents to 244, but the market closed better yesterday. These prices are about 2 per cent., under those obtained last week. Brazilian Stock has reached 814, the advices received last week of the possession of Bahia by the Imperial troops having been confirmed. Very trifling altera tions have taken place in Russian, Danish, French, or the other European Bonds. Mexican Stock has declined to 27, in conse quence of the advices of the blockade of the portsof that repub lic by theTreuch fleet off that station. The Share Market has been very dull this week for all se curities of this description. The Asphalte Shares have declined considerably'; the London and Birmingham Railway Shares, after reaching 178, or 88 prem., have fallen to 174, or 84 prem.: 'the Great Western Shares have advanced to 95, or 30 prem. ; and the North Midland to 414, or CI prem. Brighton Shares have receded to 81-, or prem., only., The Shares of the Joint 'Stock Banking Company command a better sale. HALF-PAST TWELVE.—We have no advices of a late date from the colonies or any par t of the world, if we except the usual coat inertial mail. . . There is but little doing at present in the British Stock Mar ket. Consols for Money and Account fetch 941; Exchequer Bills realize 60; and India Bonds. 68 prem Bank Stuck is at 2041. In Foreiirn Bonds the market is less active than it was Yes terday. Spanish Consols realize 214; and Portuguese New Bonds 36. Belgian Bonds are worth 1011, and Dutch 4 per Cent 541. In Shares but little business is doing, nor has any material variation in prices occurred. LAUNCEI OF AN IRON STEAMER. On Thursday last, her Majesty's birthday, an iron steam yacht, the Glow-worm, of nearly 400,tons measurement, was launched from Mr. John Laird's iron building-yard, North Birkenhead. She is owned by Thomas Asheton Smith, Esq., and is generally admitted to he one of the handsonest ar.d, at the same time, strongest and best finished steamers afloat. The following are, we believe, her dimensions : Length l6O feet Beam, within paddles • 22 feet And" bet draft of water, with machinery and all stores, in not expected to exceed-5 feet - 6 inches. The Glow-worm is divided, by watertight partitions or bulk heads, into seven compartments, which not only add materially to her strength, but render any serious damage, in case of get ting ashore or coming into collision with other vessels, almost impossible. The security against fire in iron vessels, their great speed with small proportionate power, their strength, buoyancy, and great capacity for stowage having been so satisfactorily proved by the experience of the vessels already built, have, we under stand, already draw to them the attention of the parties inter ested in the companies formed and forming for transatlantic steam navigation ; and, from this and other circumstances, there is every teasou to suppose,-that they will be universally adopted. The Glow-worm will, in a few days, proceed to 'Glasgow to tale on board her engines, making by Robert Napier, Esq., and we hope, when complete, will equal the - moat sanguine expecta tions of her spirited proprietor. George the Third used to say that he had constant occasion to consult the best lawyers in his dominions, and not a unt-u amongst them could do anything but refer.. Sit AviNG SOAP.--Ilub well in a marble mortar an ounce of Castile soap with two drachms of salt of tartar. Add by degrees half a vint of fine lavender water, with two grains of camphor dissolved in it. When the whOle is well incorported filter it, and keep it in closely stopped bottles. For use, put ten drops into a small wine-glass full of water; dip the shaving brush in, and by rubbing it on the chin a fine lather will he produced. To SA LT BUTTER.—Beat very well up together in a marble mortar. half a pound of common salt, 4ozs. of saltpetre, and 4ozs. of powdered loaf-sugar. To every pound of newly made butter (the milk being well drawn off by beating) put au - ounce of the mixed powder; incorporate it. well, and put the butter in pats for keeping. In about a month—not before—it will be fit for use; and it will continua for ten years as good as butter newly salted. tniperial 1-10 USE OF COMMONS.—WEDNEsnAy LoßD's nAy BILL. Mr. l'imuPTRE moved the order of the day for the house going into committee on the Lord's Day Bill, but experienced considerable difficulty in procuring a chairman. The chair was at length taken by Sir G. SINcLATR, amidst shouts of laughter from the ministerial side of the house. On the first clause being proposed, Mr. JERVIS said it was a must preposterous clause, for its tendency was to prevent any work whatever from being done on the Lord's-day. A person could not even get his breakfast, or have his bed made, without violating the provisions of this clause. Mr. PI.UMPTRE said he thought that the hon. and learned member must admit that there was a feeling in the country that something should be done in this matter. He was most de,i rous to obviate the objections of the hon. member, and he thought that might be effected by the omission of a few words. He would put it.—" Any work in the way of trade—any selling or contracting in the way of trade." After some discussion, in which several members took part, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had very considerable doubts whether the bill could be so limited as to become practi cable ; if he thought it could be, he would have much pleasure in supporting it. Because he entertained those fears he could not, either for himself or on the part of others, charge himself For the responsibility of the bill. lie believed the object which the hon. member had i❑ view was rather to be attained by moral effects than legislation. (Hear, hear.) Sir R. PEEL entirely concurred with what had fallen from the right hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He advised his hon. friend to make his enactments as precise as possible, and to avoid the necessity of exceptions, which would have the effect of a legislative sanction for the profanation of the Sabbath. He (Sir Robert Peel) thought that it was desirable to put a stop to fairs and markets upon the Sunday, and also to time opening of shops on the part of a few in particular trades, when public convenience did not require it. (Hear, hear ) It was intrinsically unjust that restrictions upon recreation should be imposed on the poor which were not imposed upon the rich. ( Hear, hear.) He advised the hon. gentleman (Mr. Plumptre) to withdraw the bill. (Hear.) Mr. f'LUMPTRE was willing to accede to the wishes of the house. '(Hear, hear, and cheers.) He accordingly withdrew the bill. The house resumed, and the bill was withdrawn. Si'llirrUOUS LIQUORS SALE BILL. Mr. GILLoN moved the Second reading of the spirituous liquors sale bill. Sir G. CLE e E expressed a hope that hon. inethberS opposite would join with those on his (Sir G. Clerk's) side of the house in opposing this bill. The bill proposed to repeal a law of a most salutary character—a law which prevented persons incur ring debts in alehouses or public-houses from being used in the courts of law for debts so incurred. He moved, as an amend ment, that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. R. STEUA IT said that the hon. member for Elgin, the under Secretary of State for the Home Department, was ab sent from illness; but he could state that the government would certainly have opposed the bill, if they had not every reason to suppose that it would have been withdrawn. The house divided :—For the second reading, 16; for the amendment, 59; majority against the second reading, 13. CUSTODY OF INFANT'S BILL. Mr. Sergeant TALFoCtto moved that this bill be read a third time. Sir E. SUGDEN, in opposing the motion, said if this bill were suffered to pass, the proper title to designate it would be `• A bill to facilitate separation and divorce between husbands and wives." The right hon. gentleman concluded by moving, that the bill be read a third time that day six months. After a silent discussion the house divided, when there ap peared—For the third reading, 60; against it, 14; majority, 46. The bill was then read a third time and passed. The Bribery at Elections Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Wednesday. Adjourned at half-past ten o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THLIRSDAY. Alr. 11. 'l'. HoPE took the oaths, and -his seat as member for Gloucester. POOR-LAW COMMITTEE. Mr. FAZAKERLEY, in answer to a question from an hon.mem ber on the opposition side of the house, said it was most likely that the pour-law committee would make their report this session. SCOTCH CHURCH. Mr. BAINES presented petitions front Bolton, in Lancashire, and a dozen other places, against any additional endowment to the Church of Scotland. NEGRO A PPRENTICESHIP. Lord J. RussE.r.t. begged to ask the hon. baronet the mem ber for Warwickshire, whether he intended to move for leave to bring in a bill, or to take any other measures in consequence of the resolution adopted by the house on Tuesday night. Sir E. WiLmoT said his answer to the noble lord would in a great measure, depend on his reply to a question which be (Sir E. Wilmot) would put to him. He would ask the noble lord whether it was his intention to do any thing to carry that reso lution into effect, or to annul or to rescind it. • Lord J. ILcssELL saidthat it was, in his opinion, not necessary for the government to take any steps to annul or to rescind the resolution adopted the other evening. Monday next, should that day suit him, would be at the disposal of the hun. hart. to follow up that resolution. Sir E. WILmoT said, that he should not to-night inform the noble lord of the course which he should adopt, but on Monday next he would give him a direct answer. Lord J. ItussELL could only say that he really hoped that the hon. bart. would give him a distinct declaration at the earliest possible moment.—( Hear, hear.) Whether that resolution was to be left on the journals of the house by him, without any pur pose, or whether the house would support its decision for leave to bring in a bill, was of the utmost importance to the West In dies, and to the peace and welfare of the apprenticed negroes. Sir E. WILMOT said, that he would certainly state what course he should pursue either on Monday, or, if possible, to-morrow night; and he would undertake, in addition, that any measure he might bring forward should be of such a nature as the forms of the house required. Lord J. Itusslii.r, thought that the hon. bart. might be pre pared to give him au answer to-morrow ; if he did, lie was ready to meet him on the subject on Monday. If, however, the hon. hart. was not prepared take that course, he should reserve to himself the right of stating to-morrow what course he thought it would become the duty of the government to adopt.-- (Cheers.) DANISH CLAIMS. Mr. CRESSWELL moved that an address be presented to her majesty, praying that commissioners might be appointed to examine the claims of those who sustained losses on account of the seizure of ships and cargoes by the Danish government in in the year 1807. The motion was opposed by the SoLHATOR-GENERAL, the CHANCELLOR of the ExcnEorKit, and Mr. Gont,nuitN, on the ground that the principle sought to be established in this case was contrary to the practice of nations, and would be most dan gerous if admitted. After conside►able discussion, the house divided upon the question, when the motion was carried by a majority of 3-1, the numbers being—for the motion, 115; against it, 81. THE ROXBURGH ELECTION RIOTS. 'Sir J. GRAHAM, then moved for leave to bring in a bill to disqualify Ilawick from being a polling place tOr the county of Roxburgh, and enabling the sheriff of that county to appoint other polling places in lieu thereof. In support of the mo tion he entered into long details of the extraordinary and riotous proceedings at Hawick during the Roxburghshireelec tion. -Er.moT esplained those.proceedings. and declared that there was not more riot and confusion than he had witnessed in that house that night. The discussion was of a rather stormy character ; but no de cision was come to, as the debate was adjourned. IIOUSE OF LORDS.-Fiti DAY. The Marquis of LoNnoN DERRY intimated that he would bring forward his motion regarding Spain o❑ the 4th of June, and that on Monday he would present a petition uu the subject of the coronation. IRISH EDUCATION The Bishop of EXETER brought forward his motion, proposing resolutions declaratory that the national system of education in Ireland had failed to realise the promises held out in Mr. (now Lord) Stanley's letter to the Duke of Leinster, as to its uniting protestants and Roman catholics, and that, on the contrary, it had promoted and increased disunion. The Marquis of LA NSDOWNE opposed the motion. The Duke of WELLINGTON admitted the correctness of much of the representation of the Bishop of Exeter, but thought that, as the system had been , commenced, it ought not to be ins eed, and that the government should be urged to see realised the original intentions of the grant. His grace mo ved, as an amendment, that the house proceed to the orders of the day. After an extended discussion the house divided : the num bers were--contents 26, non contents 71 ; majority against it 45. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY. Lord Mo RP ET ut reported from the Galway (borough) election committee, that Mr. Lynch had been duly elected. Mr. AGLIONBY presented the report of the committee regard ing the rebuilding of the Royal Exchange. Lord EASTNOR reported, from the Devizes election com mittee, that Mr. Dundas has not - been duly elected, and that Mr. Heneage had been duly elected, and ought to have been returned. Mr. FAZAKaRLgY, as chairman of the poor laws committee, in answer to Mr. Harvey and Lord G. Somerset, stated that, without being able to say when it could be obtained, the coin inittee were most anxious to hear the evidence of certain metro politan parishes, as St. George's, Southwark, &c., that had taken considerable interest in the new act; and that as to the report, which would follow a necessarily protracted inquiry, it would, he believed, be of a general character. Lord PA.LMERSTON said, in answer to Mr. E. Tennent's in quiry, that he had no official information of any collision haying taken place regarding disputed boundary, as concerned British Guiana and the Brazils, that he understood there had been some proceeding on such subject, and that he had directed inquiries to be made. .CIPTURE OF THE VIXEN Sir STRATFORD CANNING presented a petition regarding the seizure, by Russia, on the north-east coast of the Black Sea, of an English vessel (the Vixen, it was understood), complaining of the irregularity of the seizure, end the non-interference of the British authorities. He stated that he should bring forward a motion on the subject on the .7th June. Lord PA:LmEttsron observed that he would content himself with remarking on one assertion in the petition—namely, that the expedition vas sanctioned by the Foreign-office—iu other language, by him ; it was totally and entirely untrue. - - . •NEGRO A'PPRENTICESH I'P. Sir E. ANTLuttor stated that it was not his intention to bring in any bill founded on the resolution regarding the immediate emancipation of the negroes. Lola J. RUSSELL said that, had any-such bill been proposed, the government must have strenuously opposed it. 11 e intended on Monday to move resolutions, declarrn that it was not ex pedient to adopt every measure which could tend to secure every advantage and privilege heretofore enacted and contemplated for the apprenticed negroes; and that the most anxious atten tion of the house should be directed to strengthen the condition of the negro population when they-should be entitled to freedom. It was agreed, on the motion of Lord J. RussELL that the chaplain be directed to preach before the house on the 29th of May. iloxnuncii ELECTION. The adjourned debate on Sir J. Graham's motion relating to 1-lay.ick as a polling place, and the Roxlmrglz election, was then resumed, and chiefly occupied the remainder of the sitting. Af ter much discussion , in which the lord advocate, Sir kohl, Peel. Lord John Russell, &c. took part, the house divided on Si, J. Graham's motion. The numbers were : for the 25C, against it 272; majority against the motion 22. motion The matristrateg of hull have resolved to pvoliibit parties from hawking and cr3,ing shrimps in the streets on Sundays, the act of parliament only specif) - ing mackerel and milk as alticles allowed to be sold un the Sabbath day. 01 ) ESING_01"I'llE MANCHESTER AND BOLTON RAILWAY. 'l'lle opening of the Manchester and Bolton Portion of the intetidei " Manchester, Balton, and Bury Railway" took place on Thursday morning, when the directors, and a number of the proprietors and their friends, proceeded to an experimen tal trip from this town to Bolton and back, preparatory to the line being thrown open to the public on Tuesday next.—Amongst the company present were James Brancker, Esq., chairman of the directors; John Bibby, Esq., director; E. D. Falkner, Esq., ditto ; George Parsons, ditto; W. S. Miller, Esq., law clerk ; James Ritson Esq. treasurer; John Hawkshaw, Esq., engineer; Robert Price, 'Esq., (of Liverpool,) together with the following proprietors :—James Hutchinson, Esq, R. C. Harvey, Esq., C. S. Parker, Esq., John Moore, Esq., .1. G. Chamberlain, Esq., John Fletcher, Esq., Benj. Frankland, Esq., Francis Gouthwaite, Esq., C. J. J ullott, Esq., John McFarlane, Esq., Jas. Tyrer, Esq., Robert Marshall, Esq., It. H French, Esc!, H. H. Grounds, Esq.,. W. Burland, Esq., W. Dugriale, Esq., E. Hore, Esq., John More, Esq,, Crawford Logan, Esq.. - Win. Logan Dlauifold, Esq., Peter Manifold, Esq., Lawrence Peel, Esq., J. A. Timm, Esq., Alfred Webb, Esq., Peter Wright, Esq., William Bromilow, Esq., and Arthur Thompson, Esq. It is, perhaps, known to most of our readers that this line of railway was originally intended to have been formed on the bed of the present canal, and that valuable property was bought by the railway proprietory ostensibly with that view; but it was thought advisable, after an act of parlianieet had been obtained for that purpose, to repair and continue the canal in use, and apply for another bill (which was ultimately obtained) to en able the company to form a line of railway independent of it. At the same time the company availed themselves of the excel lent opening into Manchester which that canal and the adja cent land, forming part of the purchase, gave them, by bring ing their railway into the town along its banks, whilst their amended act gave them the power of diverging considerably to the left of it beyond Pendleton and Agecroft. These explana tions, perhaps, may be necessary to some of our readers, in or der to give them an idea of the reasons which have led to the completion .of the line having been so long protracted beyond the time it was reasonably supposed - such a work would occupy in construction. Thus, though the first bill was obtained in 1831, yet owing to the time which the company had to wait be fore they could get their amended bill through parliament, it was not till the latter part of the year 1835 that a portion of the forming seven-teriths of the whole could be commenced; and when it is recollected that the works on this line are of greater magnitude in proportion to its length than those of any other railway in the kingdom—there being scarcely a yard of it Which has not been attended either with erhbanktnenta or cut tings of from three to 25, and in some places - of more than 30 feet—it is not surprising that itsCOmpletion has occupied nearly three years. The line commences with a temporary station in New Bailey -street, and runs over a noble viaduct of brick work, consisting of 38 arches of about 21 feet span, and nearly of the same height, (crossing Irwell-street,)and is continued by an embankment and other arches over the company's canal and Ordsall Lane, to near Oldfield Road, under which it passes by a slight cutting similar to that on the Manchester and Liverpool line, From this point it runs by the side of the canal undei Windsor Bridge, and it continues from thence nearly parallel with it through a part of Mr. Vitigerald's land at Pendleton, as far as Agecroft Bridge, where it leaves it and diverges consi derably to the left. The line continues from this point over the beautiful valley of Clifton, entering Pepper Hill near to Clifton Hall, and passes through Clifton Wood to the Village of Ring ley, and from thence by way of Chimer dough, through part of which it is carried by a tunnel of 975 feet in length, to Halshaw Moor, passing through the estates of Benjamin Rawson, Esq., of Darley Hall, and of John Bentley, Esq. A little beyond this point it passes under the Manchester and Bolton turnpike road, and a few yards further. on under the road to Farnworth, at a distance of little more than a mite from Bolton, and continues through Burnden, passing Liver-street, Bolton, under a stone bridge of eight arches, and terminating at Bradford Square, near to Trinity Church, where a Commodious station, and booking and other offices have been erected. The only stations . on the line are at Ringley and at Agecroft bridge. The weather on Thursday was extremely favourable for the opening excursion, and at a little before eleven o'clock the directors, proprietors, and their friends, including ladies and gentlemen from Manchester, Bolton, Liverpool, Bury, and other towns, to the number of about 150, assembled at the station in New Bailey-street, where a first class train of five carriages, attached to the Victoria engine, and a second class consisting of one first class and tour second class carriages attached to the Fairfield engine, were waiting to convey them along the line. 'rhe first class train, containing principally the directors and a few of their friends, with the reporters of the Manchester press. left the station precisely at eleven o'clock, amidst the shouts of a concourse of people assembled to witness the event, and of the workmen on the line. The speed was gradually increased till the train had passed under Windsor Bridge, when it moved along at a rapid rate, reaching Agecroft Bridge in about eight minutes; the village of Ringlev in IG; Halshaw Moor in 20 minutes; and arrived at the station in Bolton, a distance of neraly 10 miles, in 2G minutes after leaving Manchester, having made no stoppage on the road. We believe, however, that the ordinary time of accomplishing the journey by the first class trains will not occupy inure than twenty minutes. The second class train, which left Manchester hi minutes later than the first, arrived at Bolton 12 minutes before 12 o'clock, having accomplished the distance in 38 minutes, including two stop pages on the road, one of five and the other of three minutes. Great numbers of persons had assembled at various points along the line, and especially near the terminus in Bolton, and loudly cheered the trains as they passed. We may here mention the carriages of which the company have 15 of the first class and 21 second class, mule by Messrs. Mather and Chantler, Pin-mill, Ardwick, Mr. Carr, Bridge street, Messrs. Melling and Co. Green-heys, and Mr. Cooper, of Bolton. They are equally elegant and commodious with those on the Grand Junction line, the second class being en closed and differing only from the first class in not being lined and cushioned, and in having no arms to the seats. They are pannelled with good bay wood, handsomely painted and var nished; the window of the door is of one large square of plate glass, and there is a smaller pane of plate glass a quarter of an inch thick on each side the door, so that the passenger can sit in comfort, protected from the weather, without been excluded from a view of the country through which he is passing. They form a striking contrast with the unsightly-luoking pig-pens called second class carriages on the Liverpool and Manchester line. The company have six engines in readiness, and four others are expected to be ready in a few days. The Victoria engine, we perceived, by the time it bore, was made by Mr. Edward Bury, of Liverpool, NI e have before noticed that the rails on this line, instead of, as on the Liverpool line, being laid down on sleepers placed equi-distant a few feet from each other, are laid upon a continuous line of sleepers formed of large blocks of solid stone of nearly a foot in thickness, by 18 inches in width and four feet in length, (and on a great portion of line on long balks of timber, Kyauised to prevent decay) sunk on a foundation of about 12 inches of gravel cemented with lime. The rails are of great strength, about four yards in length and slightly sunk in the stone, restin either end on an iron chair, 0 to which they are secured by and screws. The chair is also let into the stone, being sec red red on each side by strong bolts running through the blocks of stone. The joints are formed with great nicety, and the work appears altogether of a sub stantial and lasting character. The effect of this to those who have travelled on other lines is soon felt, the motion of the car riages being much easier, and especially un the wood sleepers, when it is scarcely perceptible. Fur the journey back the whole of the carriages forming the two trains were joined into one long and splendid train of car lieges, with the Victoria engine in front and the Fairfield in the rear; and the whole moved off at a slow pace from Bolton at about a quarter to one o'clock, stopping occasionally on dif ferent parts of the line for the company to get out and view the formidable cuttings and embankments which had been required in the construction of the railway. The first of these which at tracted attention was the heavy cutting on passing under the Fern worth-road, about a mile and a half from Bolton, which runs through the park of B. Rawson, Esq. to a point near the church on Halshaw Moor, gradually deepening to 21 feet below the surface, where the line enters the tunnel we have already mentioned. Over this cutting are several light and elegant stone foot-bridges, connecting the estates through which the line has been cut. By a judicious contrivance of the engineer, the tunnel has been lighted by a shaft being sunk from the sur face, about equi-distant from either end, which lis covered with a glass dome; and the unpleasant seusation felt by many per sons in passing through the dark tunnels on other lines is thus obviated. The time occupied in passing through the tunnel by a first class train is barely 30 seconds. Pursuing the course of the line from Bolton homewards, it emerges from the tunnel in Clamer Clough and through a deep cutting in Stone Clough on the village of Ringley, and is carried through it upon an em bankment of great height, and more than a quarter of a mile in length, taking its course by a deep cutting through Clifton Wood, the property of the family of the late Ellis Fletcher, Esq. Indeed from the tunnel through Ringiev, Clifton Wood, Pepper Hill, and the valley of Clifton, a distance of several miles in length, the works are of a most stupendous nature, and created much surprise amongst the visitors who were strangers to the line. Nor were the company more surprised at time ob stacles which nature had fruitlessly opposed to art and the in domitable spirit and enterprise of man, than they were delighted on many points of the line with the beautiful landscapes spread before them, especially to the left [on the right hand of time road from Manchester]; and indeed we should imagine that to the class of passengers bent on pleasure no portion of equal length of any line in England will afford such a variety of pleasing, romantic, and picturesque scenery. The country along the whole line (except where interrupted by cuttings), as you pass it in the railway carriages, appears like a series of constantly revolving panoramic views of the most diversified anti striking character. The last great work which the company alighted to look at was the embankment from Agecroft Hall to Clifton Hall, a distance of from 400 to 500 yards, above 20 ft. in height, and which must have beeu raised at an enormous cost, the na ture of the ground having been such that the canal had to be diverted and the embankment raised on its former bed. The company were again taken up at Agecroft Bridge, and a few minutes sufficed to bring them once more to the station in New Bailey-street, from whence a considerable portion of the gen tlemen proceeded, about two o'clock, to partake of THE LUNCH.

The toast was heartily given with t h e proposed cheers. _lii giving the next toast the Chairman said, after a long and trying period of preparation the Manchester and Bolton railway had been opened. In proposing that they should drink success to it he would only appeal to the company to ask them selves, from what they had just seen of the line, whether it was a work which had been lightly done or lightly undertaken. They had witnessed upon it more stupendous works than were to be met with upon any other line of equal length in the country; and though it had been thought by many that the outlay upon it was too great as regarded expense, he believed, himself, it could be shown that no inure money than was neces sary had been spent upon it. He, like many there, had held shares in it whilst in the market they had been up to lOU preht uion], and down to 50 discount; but whatever might be thtiug of it by others, he had good reason for believing that their vi cissitudes were now over, and that the railway would fri l i a tt u t s t e h . i l s day take its rank among the first in the kingdom.

He had pleasure in informing them that the directors had, the day previous, directed a dividend to be made upon mw branch of the company's property, he meant the canal; and it would be speedily carried into effect. (Hear, hear.) He trusted that from both, in a short time, the shareholders would derive a pro- , fitable return. Their worthy chairman had remarked that the opening to-day had been most auspicious, owing to its being the birth-day of our gracious and beloved sovereign, whose name , was borne by one of the eng i nes . He begged to obser v e also that the name of the other engine was the "Fairfield;" and be could not help wishing that the proprietors might ever have Ei " fair field" open to them. They had 'had an addition to these engines with them, also the representatives of that mighty en- , gine which regulated and goYerned our social system—whose , effect was felt at times in stimulating us all to do our duties -7- and whose mighty power was too well known and felt in 011 , 1 . kingdom not to command respect—he meant, " the Press. (Cheers.) He might also mention as a circumstanc e day that they ha been honoured with the company of the l, sex. He would say then let " the press" and "the fair sex ge together ;—( cheers and laughter)—and he beocred to propose as the next toast "the press and the fair sex." (Cheers.) rests.s, . Mr. BttosiiLow, of St. Helen's, said he rose to prof with toast which he was sure the whole company would a g ree ;sr ' : hint ought to be drunk in a bumper He begged to ob ser v e' that he had been one of the first shareholders in this line, he let others form their opinions of its value as they might,. would only say for himself—and he knew something of the Ithe that I won't sell !" (Laughter and cheers.) He begged tit propose "the health of the Working Committee." (Cheer s.) Drunk with three times three. Mr. FALKNER, having been called upon to respond, said though it was many years since this line was first projected, since which time the Leeds and Selby Company had obtained a bill, formed a line, and were at work upon it; yet this com pany must not deceive themselves as to the real time this (the Bolton and Manchester Railway) had occupied in eonstiuction . It was but about three years since they obtained their bill for the construction of the greater portion of the line. In 18.31, it was true, they obtained a bill to make a railway by converting the existing canal into one. And here he might observe, that the, purchase of that canal by this co mpany was a master-stroke 0 ' policy. It enabled the company to obtain into Manchester such an entrance as'they could not otherwise have possibly o btained, by the purchas e o f a pi ece o f groun d w hi c h wou ld one day return them a honest profit. (Hear, hear.) In 1832 they went befor e parliament for-an act t o amend their former one, and to e nable the company to carry the railway along the side of the canal; finding that the benefit derivable from the latter was such as Dot to be overlooked, for it was seen that the canal, which cost the company only from £BO,OOO to A:90M00, was likely to pay a handsome dividend. And it had indeed paid them back a gross revenue of £12,000, or nearly approaching £13,000 per annual; enabling them, exclusive of the expense which it had been at tended with, to divide from £BOOO to £9,000. The expense to which he alluded had been incurred in repairing the canal, the banks of which were in a very dilapitated state - at the time of the purchase. The purchase of the canal, with its banks, he had before said, was made because it gave them an excellent entrance into the town ; and the obtaioing of a new bill carried them on till the year 1835, one year having been lost by the parlia mentary practice requiring a year's notice of such bills being given. It was then the proprietors went for the line over which the company had travelled to-day ; the deviation from the former line commenciii,g at Pendleton, and taking the railway up to the higher part of Bolton, and avoiding there by an inclined plane an the road which would have required a stationary engine and ropes to have worked the carriages up it. (Hear.) By this ju dicious change too, the proprietors had accomplished another important desideratum, by overcoming the only obstacle to h continuation of their line so as to foint a communication with. that of the Preston and Bolton railway. (Hear, hear.) Thus in reality three years had not elapsed since the bill was obtained , enabling them to make seven-tenths of the whole line. It would not be said that the formation of such a line bad been long id construction by those who had seen it this day carried over the valley of Clifton ! (Hear, hear.) With the profits of their canal the proprietary, he had already said, had reason to be satisfied; and he trusted that the traffic by railway would be equally pro fitably to them. He would conclude by proposing to them the health of a gentleman whose abilities, in his early as well as pre sent connection with the company, had been greatly instru mental in contributing to the success of the works. He proposed " The health of Mr. Hawkshaw, the engineer." (Cheers.) Mr. HawEsusw said that if custom had not rendered it necessary for hint to acknowledge the compliment 'which bad been paiil him, gratitude, at least, on his part would have con strained him to do so, however unaccustomed he might be to public speaking. ( Hear.) He had known this railway upwards of seven years. It was true it had been a long time in hand froirt first to last; but it must be recollected that soft timber was of the quickest growth, and they mast hope that, though their line had been long in construction, like the oak, it would be the harder wear, and last the longer. (Cheers.) The difficulties attending its formation, owing to the nature of its locality, had this day been witnessed and explained ; but it must be recollected that if these difficulties had been great, they were not without their use, inasmuch as they would form a barrier to the con struction of a competing line for at least half a century to come. (Hear, bear.) There was another peculiarity a bout the situation of Bolton. It cou ld, only be said hitherto to have been connected with Manch e st er by a t urnp ik e roa d, o nly small portion of its merchandise being t ransm itt e d along the canal. It might be said to be only a sor t o f su b ur b to Man chester rather than a distant town—a sort of bleaching croft to this metropolis of the manufacturing di s t r i c t ; and as such it had increased in an equal proportion. And if this increase had been so rapid hitherto, how much more so must it become now' that it was brought so mach nearer? In his opinion it would now increase in a double ratio, thus securing to the line a re turn for their expenditure, increasing with every year. (Loud. cheers.) Tlie CHAIRMAN next proposed " Success to the Town and Trade of Bolton.". Mr. JOHN M‘Fa REAM said he rose not so much to respond to the toast as to make an observation on what had been sa id on the locality of a piece of laud over which the railw a y anden teredtiSe y al g fo e r n d t . le happened kn ow s omething e thi u of g that lan d , man conversant to kn with the he map of f Manchester must see the means afforded of making a toad b y throwin g a. bridge across the river, to connect Ch orlton-u p on-Medlock with. of the town. ( Ilear, hear.) He thought wa s not di ffi cult to it, and thus open sr direct communicat u ton itbetween those parts see that the time was not far distant, therefore, when this land f u t u re means indeed of connecting the south with as the would become valuable to the com p an y . He looked at t he rail waythe north, by an union of the proposed Manchester and Birming ham railway, with a continuous line northward of Bolton. Mr. Hawesuaw rose to answer a question put to hint throng!' the chairman, as to whether the timber forming the sleepers on. which the rails of the line were laid had been Kyanized ? lii stating that it had, Mr.. Hawkshaw said he bad before omitted. to mention a cause which had greatly added to the expense and' length of time in constructing the Manchester trod Bodon Rail wa y. He alluded to the fact that all the cuttings, embankments, and bridges on this line had been made of more than ordinar width with a view to the ultimate laying down upon the roadottv third line of rails. (Hear, hear.) All this could be done' with/ the slight additional expense of the iron, and the expense of laying it down. This was a capacity which no other railway at present constructed possessed, and was done with a view to the ultimate adoption of one of two objects, either as a means of preventing the line from being too much crowded, should it The mercha n diseciiilntAiari here alon nrbecome the means of connecting. lines to the north and south , or of forming a separate line fur the carriage, at a slow rate, of heavy his hands news o f t a git i . ounced that he had just placed in he arrival in this country of the Great Western steam-ship, after her trip to America, beating the Sirius by three days. He begged to propose " the hAlth of relative of his own—the gentleman under whose auspices the purchase of the canal for this company was accomplished, and the builder of our largest steam vessel—Sir John Tobin."- -- The toast was drunk with applause. The Chairman said h e had anoth er t oas t to propose, which he was sure they would all drink with applause : that of their law clerk, Mr. Miller (Cheers.) He too, like others had his difficulties to content with, but like his great predecessor, " Jack the Giant Killer, he had overcome them all. (Cheers and shouts of laughter.) Mr. MILLER briefly acknowledged the compliment. The health of Mr. JAMES RITSON was proposed and drunk with great applause, and in acknowledging it that gentleman said, he hoped with Mr. M`Farlane that this line might ulti mately prove the means of connecting the north and south of England. He saw no difficulty in its way which might not b e overcome. A good-rteal of perseverance, mixed up with a goo d, deal of money, was an excellent recipe for accomplishment (Laughter and cheers.) He concluded by ffoposing health of the Chairman"' which was drunk with three cheers, and one cheer more. The CHAIRMAN briefly acknowledged the compliment, anti then proposed in succession, as sources of future wealth to the , company, " The Bolton and Bury Canal;" " The Manchester and Salford Junction Canal;" and " The Town and Trade of Bury." Mr. HUTCHINSON (of Bury) responded to the last toast, after which Mr. FALKNER proposed "Prosperity to the Manchester and Birmingham Railway." The healths of Air. Bromilow and Mr. John Bibby were after wards given, to which those gentlemen responded; and The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The Earl o f Derby, Lora' Lieutenant of the County," which having been drunk with eP plause, the company soon afterwards rose and separated, at. about fiv?. o'clock.
