ITIHE experience of many years has fully established the re i putatiou of this root as an invaluable alterative, restorative, and purifier of the blood, and as such of its great usefulness in Scurvy, Scrofulous Affections, Disorders of the Skin, Chronic Rheumatism, Indigestion, Consumption, General Debility, as d r well as being the best remedy for those sy ptorns which fre quently follow the administration of M cury, and for those secondary symptoms of Lues Venere hich, if not removed, lay the foundation of injury to the constitution, from which it can never recover. The Compound Decoction of Sarsaparilla, which combines the stimulant and diaphoretic properties of Mezereon, Guaia cum, and Sassafras, is the form which is generally administered but its preparation is attended with much trouble, and requires apparatus which few can obtain. All the advantages, without the convenience, are presented by the concentrated compound DECOCTION OF SARSAPARILLA, prepared by BENJA MIN MoxoN, Chemist, Hull—a preparation which has obtained extensive patronage both from medical men and the public. It is so far concentrated b y s team, that one table spoonful added.to a pint of pure water re adily forms the Compound Decoction, and is found to piessess the virtues of the ingredients in a superior de gree to the Decoction prepared in the usual way. One very impor tant advantage of this preparation is, that a tea spoonful, which is equal in strength to a quarter of a pint of the Decoction, may be taken in a wine glass of water, so as not to oppress or relax the stomach by quantity. Another important advantage is, that it is the cheapest preparation of Sarsaparilla before the public, and that it will keep all its virtues in any climate for sevetal years. teen Sold in B o ttl es at 4 s. 61 egnal to six pints;' 12s. equal to six- Wholesal e A gents , Barclay and Sons, London; J. and B. pints;. and 229: equal to thirty-four pints: Rairnes, Edinburgh; and Retail by Maynard, Drliggist, Bold street; Aspinall, S t.

THE objects for which thi s C om p an y i s f orme d are t o wor k the Mines of Copper, Gold, Silver, or other Metals in the Island of St. Domingo, and to carry on Streaming Works on the Banks of the Rivers which flow through the Mining Dis tricts, and also to Cultivate Coffee, Cott n, Tobacco, Sugar, Indigo, &c. The Committee do not intend to fol!o he example of those persons who have, directed the affairs of eial Foreign Mining Companies, by expending large sums o money before it was ascertained where would be the most fit place to commence operations. They intend to send proper experienced persons to make selection from the various Mines included in the general grant on which they are acting. Arrangements are made for the cultivation of some of the best Plantations in the Island of St. Domingo. To accomplish these points the Committee do not intend to call for more than £1 per Share, payable in . three months, in addition to the first deposit; and so soup alipport is obtained from the Island, a Meeting of th e Shareholders will be called, and the Committee will then be guided by the resolutions which may he entered into at that Meeting. on all matters in reference to the Company ; in the mean time the Subscribers will not be called upon to sign any deeds.

LIVERPOOL TIMBER COMPANY AND SAW MILL ESTABLISHMENT. A T a MEETING of the COMMITTEE, held at the Cla rendon Rooms, Liverpool, on MON DAY, the 22d February, 1836, IIENRY B. WALKER, Esq., in the Chair; It was Resolved;—That in consequence of the very numerous ' applications for .Shares, the Capital be extended to £500,0a) in 50,000 Shares of £lO each, and that the IVillowing amended Prospectus be adopted, viz. No Shareholder to be Liable for more.than his Subscribed Capital. It is presumed 'the Foreign Tirpter Trade (including Maho gany, &c.,) of this Port, inward. offers an incomparable field for the profitable exercise of a Joint Stock Capital; having for its object the Protection of the Foreign Merchant, the Ship owner, and Importer,—qtnd increasing the facility for supplying the demands of the Country Dealer and Consumer by being enabled to anticipate his wants. It secures at all times a constant supply, by an access to ample funds, which will be used for the benefit of the Pro prietors cullective/y, by an annual division of the profits; whilst it at the same time provides for the demands of individual Pro prietors, (being Dealers or Consumers,) on terms of sound com mercial principles. Shareholders making purchases will have the benefit of established credit with the Company. The Timber Trade of this port having grown to an immense extent, and being now accessible only to large Purchasers or large Capitalists, the op era ti o n s o f this Company will be to open . the Trade to the moderate Consumer and Country Dealer, and such persons givinc , their support to this Company will have the double advantage of being supplied on the best terms and of sharing the profits of their own purchases. This Company seeks not t o i n d uce an y unfair competition, or to countenance haz a rdou s s p ecu l a ti on , J but simply to encom pass this great and weighty Trade by a chain of communication and capital, every link of which shall connect its usefulness and benefit with all those inland places where extensive consump tion is going on. To this effect will the study of the Company be directed, and it is suggested that the Subscriptions for Shares he confined at • first to persons who are Shipowners, Importers, Consumers, or Inland Dealers, or 'whose situati on or i n fl uence w ill b e likely to extend the useful business of the Company. That the Capital of this Company be raised by 50,000 Shares of £lO each. That Subscribers shall pay One Shilling per Share for their Scrip; and within fourteen days after notice, shall pay £1 per Share into the Bank of the Company (to be appointed); when their Shares will be delivered; and that a call of £2 per Share be made within two months after the appointment of Trustees, Directors, and other Officers; and that a further call of £2 per Share be made at any time after six months, on the Di rectors giving twenty-one days' notice tfierecf; silref that no further call be made until after the first Annual Meeting shall have been holden, and a Report approved by the Share holders at such Meeting. It is presumed that the paid up capital of £5 per Share will be amply sufficient for the purposes of the Company, includink a projected Saw Mill Establishment, the want of which has been generally acknowledged. Holders, in their own names, of not exceeding twenty Shares, to have one vote for each Share, and those holding above twenty Shares to have an additional vote for every five Shares above twenty; and in voting by proxy no person shall be allowed to hold more proxies than five; nor to vote by proxy unless he is a Shareholder; and persons who hold Shares in the names of their children, being minors, shall be allowed to vote only on the aggragate number of their own and such minors' Shares as if the whole were in the name of one Shareholder. No per-, son to be allowed to possess snore than 250 Shares. A Provisional Committee to forward the preliminary ar rangements is formed, with power to add to their numbers, who, early in MARCH, will call a General Meeting to be held at Liverpool, to elect Trustees and Directors, three of whom shall be residents in Liverpool, three at Manchester, one each at Birmingham and such other places where the Subscribers are numerous, who shall proceed to appoint a Manager, an experienced person in the Timber Trade, a Cashier, and other Assistants, all of whom shall produce testi monials, and give security for the faithful discharge of their re spective official duties. The Deed of Settlement to be read at the same Meeting, and after receiving the signatures of the Shareholders then present, the formation of the Company shall be deemed complete, and the business be proceeded with. The Books to be male up half-yearly, and, as soon after as may be, a General Meeting shall be held at Manchester and Liverpool alternately, when a balance sheet of the affairs of the Company shall be exhibited; and if at any time it shall appear that one-third of the subscribed capital shtill have been lost, the Company shall be dissolved, its affairs wound up, and the re maining-Capital divided amongst the Shareholders. All transfers of Shares shall be made under the hands of, and be approved by the Board of Directors, in order to protect the Company from bad debts. A detailed Prospectus will be published as soon as possible. Meanwhile, all applications for Shares must be made to Mr. Bayr.Ey, 65, King street, Manchester,. Mr. E.

The fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speed introduction into almost every country, and ad dresses were presented to the talented Professor Swedour who filled the chair at Leyden University, congratulatory of the cir cumstance. The 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 satis faction. The Hygean Pills root out every particle of the insid uous 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 con vince the most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers, they neither contain mercury or 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. The Hvgean Pills may be depended upon as a cei tain cure by persons of either sex, in all stages of a certain dis ease, and that without producing the least inconvenience. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the Hvgean Pills, (or when taken be fore the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, removing the complaint effectually and secretly. .rhe deplorable state in which many persons have been when visiting the proprietor from the use of mercury, renders it im peratively necessary to caution the public against that danger ous mineral when injudiciously administered.

TN consequence of attempts to throw discredit on this nutlet.- ..I_ taking, by parties interested, to prevent the forthation o any Railway whatever in the tract in question, and also by par ties connected with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, who are ignorant of, or wilfully blind to the true state of the case, it is necessary to snake the following statement : The respective objects of the Junction Railway, and the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, are totally different. The one is a cheap, simple, and natural prolongation of an existing Railway, to complete an improved communication between two of the richest and most populous districts in Scotland. The other is a great and arduous work—to unite Glasgow and Edin burgh. What tract the latter project may ultimately adopt, is left to the decision of eminent English Engineers, and it is surely preinatute for its friends, real or pre tided, to discuss its merits, or to attack other undertaking , ill they know better what they are to do themselves. - - -•- The Junction Railway Company have no wish or intention to interrupt au Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. It is true that the line of the Junction Railway is a most favourable one for levels, as well as in many other respects • but, so far from seeking to withhold access to it, the plans of Junction were lent to the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company at their request, and every other facility given them for ascertaining the best line. if the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company cannot get a better line for a part of their road than that pre-occupied by the Junction, their course ought to be to endeavour to ar range for obtaining either the formation, or the use, of it, by open and fair means, and not by insidiously attacking and dis paraging it, and those who first discovered its merits, and pro posed its execution. The chief allegations put forth against the Junction Railway are, Ist, That it would hurt an Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, and therefore should not be perMitted. Now, it is believed that there is abUndance of room for both undertakings; but, suppos ing that injury to the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway would be the result of the execution of the Junction, this is no argu ment against the Junction. On the other hand, it is a strong one in its faVour, and might be used with perfect fairness, espe cially, seeing that the Junction . is the older scheme. It is just the good fortune of the holders of the'JUnction that it will not only be a gile t o com p e t e with existing communications, but cannot be materially affected by any other communication that may be formed. The cheapest Railway will always be prefer red for general purposes. Assuming that the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway will pass near Falkirk, though that, nor no other line is vet seriously fixed upon, it may be stated that the intercourse between the Glasgow and Falkirk districts is greater thai between Edinburgh and Glasgow. There is, therefore, a prObability that, in addition to a return for the enormous cost that would be entailed by making a Railway on any other plan than the Junction, it would be saddled with rates of dues ade quate to produce a profitable revenue from the whole concern, or in other words, that the Falkirk and Glasgow trade would require to be burdened with the deficiency of dues on the un 'profitable part of the line between Falkirk and Edinburgh.' 2d, The Junction is stated to be an undertaking of no public advantage, and intended only to serve two existing undertak ings. the uniting two such districts as Falkirk and Glasgow, speedily and cheaply, is surely of some use to the public; and it, in addition to that, the Junction will benefit other public works, there is just so much more to weigh in its favour, for, while it is useful in itself, it is not to be injurious to its neigh bours. 3d, The estimates of revenue, it is alleged, make no allow ance for the competition of an Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company. Neither have the latter made allowance in their estimates for the competition of the Junction Railway. The latter might have been done, but to do the former was impossi ble, because it was not, and is not yet known where, or when, the Edinburgh and Glasgow line is to be made, and it was also unnecessary, because competition always increases trade, and the cheapest conveyance will always be preferred by the multi tude, unless the difference of speed is very great. The estimate of the cost has been affirmed to be too low. It has been mos carefully revised, and this random assertion is not well founded . 4th, There are said to be different calculations in two pros pectuses on the subject. That of course arises from the authors being different; and the periods, at which the prospectuses were written, not being the same, there was a consequent different state of information on the subject at the respective dates. sth, It is insinuated that the Railway already formed, and the Canal, with which the Junction unites, may take high rates of dues from the part of the Junction traffic which may use that Railway or Canal. This would apply to only a portion of the Trade, but is secured against by special agreement; and a still stronger protection, if possible, is competition, to the Canal from the Frith of Forth, and to the Railway from the Forth and Clyde and M onkland Canals. To keep their trade, the dues on the Union Canal and the Garnkirk and Glasgow Railway must be extremely moderate, and higher rates cannot be charged on them from one class of Traders than from another. 6th, The Garnkirk and Glasgow Railway, which the Junc tion is to join, is asserted to be unfavourable for Locomotive Engines and a passenger Trade. The fact, that three to four thousand passengers are conveyed weekly by Locomotive En gines on that Railway, with a profit, at a charge under a penny per mile, at once disproves this assertion. _ 7th, The termination of the Railway in Glasgow is said to be unfavourable. The fact is, that it is nearer the centre of the city than any of the Steam-boat or Canal quays, and greatly nearer than the Liverpool Depdt of the Liverpool and Man chester Railway is to the centre of that town. It moreover can, and is intended to he, carried still neater, not in the mode sup posed by those unwilling to find out a better, but by a prolong ation of such a level as to be available for every purpose. The short inclination at the present western termination of 1 in 150 is found no inconvenience, taking everything into consideration. Engineers admit that it is only where inclines occur at a dis tance from either end, where extra power, in any emergency, is not at hand, that they are to be avoided, if they otherwise tend to economy. The termination of the east end of the Junction is at the Canal, within a few minutes walk of Falkirk, and a branch will of course be carried into the town, as eiteunistances may direct, during the execution of the main line. Sth, The Garnkirk and Glasgow Railway is finished on a style far superior to any other in Scotland. It was-constructed n the plan of the Liverpool and Manchester. It is entirely Tevel, except the small portion at the west end above-mentioned, and the inclination there is not nearly so great as on some parts of the splendid work alluded to. by Union Canal and Garnkirk Railway 9th, It is asserted, and held out as a crime, that the Junction be its sro7it before the Railway was got up Proprietors. This is a natural, though not a true guess. It noted b entieme was originated and promoted Y.g n not holding a single share in either concern. he natural advantages of the line, 'merits; was and the facilities afforded by existing works for its successful execution, were so obvious and striking„ to those acquainted r w e i g th ui t r h ed e d t i o str c i a ct u , s t e ha th t i n s o u s n t i d tn e r u t l a a k n i t n , g b beyond o public. In short, the true cause of any outcry against the,Junction Railway is, not from any idea that it is a bad schetu,: Jeven of doubtful utility—for were it so, it would not be wattles° Much notice—but it arises from the conviction, accompanied by a feeling of envy or jealousy, that its peculiar advantages, as de tailed in the prospeetns, lately 'published, are not overrated. One word may be said lit conclusion, to the Edinburgh - and Glasgow Railway ConipittO: Their Committee and Engineers are pledged to fix do the "1364 lin e " forthe interests of the sub scribers. They borrowed the'Junction plans to enable them to fix whether or not it would form part of the best line for the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. If it did not, then the Junc tion fell to be proceeded with, as originally intended. The Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company,. accordingly, stated in their Report, in December last, " that it is of paramount im portance to the subscribers that it should be speedily decided, whether this (the Junction plan) ought to form a part of their hole line, as the meeting of Parliament is at hand, when the notices must either fall to the ground, or the bill be proceeded j with." Their course seems to be one which they ought to have adopted long ago. It is to fix their line. If they revert to the Junction as a part of that line, it will be for the subscribers to the Junction to consider whether or not it should be given up to them. If they do not determine on that line, its proprietors will proceed as originally intended, and which there is nothing to hinder them to do in either ease, if they think it more expe dient. The delay of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway dompany, in fixing upon a line, must lead, among other evils, to an expense which another course might have avoided ;but the subscribers to that Railway, it is not doubted, may rest sa tisfied that the funds entrusted to their Managers shall be strictly applied to the legitimate and single purpose for which they were contributed. At all events, it is the determination of the pro moters of the Junction Railway to avoid every unnecessary ex pense, and to be guided in every step of their progress by the general opinion of the Stockholders. 16th February, 1836. PROSPECTUS OF THE UNION BANK OF MANCHESTER. lIIHE unparallelled success which has attended Joint Stock Banks, wherever they have been established, renders un necessary any argument to prove the general correctness of the principle on which they are mainly groun . Public opinion has invariably been manifested in th i • avour, and the high premiums which are readily obtained n the shares in such un dertakings, prove most conclusively the estimation in which they are held both by the capitalist and the depositor. That the rapidlrextending commerce and increasing manu nufactures of this great emporium of trade require progressive financial means, commensurate with their growth, is so self evident, it need only be stated to be acknowledged. The population of Manchester is now swelled to upwards of 250,000, and in a circle of twelve miles would embrace nearly a million. Every year still adds to its numbers, it stands second only to London in commercial importance, and who can define the limit of its numbers or its wealth. The present institution is intended to be distinguished from the existing joint stock banks in Manchester, by the adoption of two essen tial principles. It will be confined to this town alone, instead of being dispersed abroad in branches, and it will act upon a conviction of the impolicy of issuing local notes. It is a curious fact that though, but a few years back, Man chester rendered itself conspicuous by its strenuous opposition to the introduction of that description of currency, it now pos sesses not one joint stock bank which has not endeavoured to force a paper circulation of its own. That many and serious evils are attendant upon this course needs only a limited ex perience to prove—that thei e may again occur nothing but the adoption of a safe principle can prevent. It cannot be necessary to point out the very evident evils at tending the system of branch banks. When one concern is divided into ten, twenty, or thirty separate establishments, scattered abroad in so many different places, it is vain to expect that each can receive even a tithe of that supe.iutending care so essential to the management and the ultimate prosperity of a bank. The resources of the company thus weakened by their excessive dispersion (unless the capital be proportionably large, in which case it becomes unwieldy and unprofitable), what wonder that the public lose that confidence which the legitimate frinciple of joint stock banking ought to create, or that the prosperity of one district should occasionally be compelled to bear the burthen of the misfortunes of another. It will be the province of this bank to confine its operations to the town in which it is situated, leaving to others to seek to gain in distant villages and small towns thOse advantages which, it is believed, will most amply and readily be obtained at home. The prospects which await this bank . are most favourable, it will commence upon a basis simple, sound, and distinct from those of the present joint stock banks' in Alinchester. It trtiil entrench upon no ground already occupied, but adopting for its guidance the principles laid down by " The Bank of Liver pool,"* its prosperity may soon be expected to rival that of its its eminent prototype. With these impressions a Provisional Committee of Gentle men interested in the town and trade of Manchester, have re solved, — That a joint stock banking company be formed, under the title of " The Union Bank of Manchester," with a capital of £600,900, divided into 24,000 shares of £25 each. That the business of this bank be conducted on the principles laid down in this prospectus, and that it be under the manage ment of a board of ten directors, pledged to secrecy, two of whom shall be inspecting directors. That one shilling per share be paid on the allotment taking place, towards defraying the expenses incidental to the forma tion of the bank ; a further sum of £2 103. per share within one mouth after the election of directors; and the further sum of £2 10s. per share within three months after that period.—Addi tional calls will be made at the discretion of the directors; but three months' notice shall be given of each call, and not more than per share shall be required in any one year, unless by order of a general meeting of shareholders. That a general meeting of shareholders be held for the elec tion of directors as early as may be found convenient after 10,000 shares are subscribed for. That at all general meetings each shareholder of ten shares shall have one vote; thirty shares two votes; seventy shares three votes; one hundred shares four votes; and an additional vote for every hundred. That the qualification for a director be the holding of fifty shares or upwards. That agents be appointed with the most respectable banks in Liverpool and other important towns. That as soon as practicable a deed of settlement be drawn up, and that the conditions of this prospectus, confirmed by the sanction of a general meeting of shareholders be adopted; and that Messrs. Oswald, Milne, and Sons, he appointed solicitors to prepare the same. That in the event of the bank losing its reserved surplus fund, and one-fourth of the paid up capital in any one year, the com pany shall be dissolved, unless two-thirds of the shareholders present at a general meeting, especially convened for the con sideration of that question, shall otherwise determine. That the names of the shareholders be not disclosed until the list be filed at the stamp-office as the law directs. Printed forms of application, e Inch, when filled up must be seabed, and addressed to the ProVisional Committee, Nb. 9, St: James's-square, may be had on application to Messrs. PEET and HonsoN, Secretaries pro. tern. to the Provisional Com mittee. * This bank was established only six years ago, and its shares now bear a premium of 120 per cent. BOROUGH OF LIVERPOOL.

Relying on the justice and impartiality of your Honourable House, and looking forward with confidence for the speedy ad justment of this important question, we, your humble Peti tioners, as in duty hound, will ever pray, &c. F Ez , , it u ILA 1 C (A DV ERTISEMENTj EDINBURGII AND GLASGOW RAILWAY. 'TOME EDITOR OP TIM LIVERPOOL SKINDARD. Stu,—.l have seen two prospectuses fur forming a company to execute a railway between the east end of the Garnkirk and Glasgow Railway and the west end of the Edinburgh and Glas gow Union Can a l. B ot h are avowedly issued under the auspices of the proprietors of the Garnkirk hallway and of a tew of the shareholders of the Union Canal. It is dui concealed that their object, in part at least, is to endeavour, by occupying a portion of the country which presents very favourable levels, to prevent the formation of au Edinburgh and Glasgow company. Can the promoters of the scheme, however, for one moment suppose that the friends of a thorough line of railway between these large cities on the must approved principles, and carried through the most level tract of country, will tamely submit to the attempt for ever to strangle this great undertaking; or that parliament will sanction a small fraction of a liue which is de,- titute of any legitimate public object, and is leaut only to serve the private interests of two declinin g con mils? But it is also pretended that thi s new pro j ect will not ly amply remunerate its promoters, but will greatly belief e public and the Union Canal and Garnkirk proprietors. very slight examination will show that it cannot do either. The proposed junction, or rather Union Canal and Garnkirk Railway, is intended to commence about a mile and a half front Falkirk, and to terminate about eight miles from Glasgow—a • distance of about thirteen miles. The first prospectus estimati s the cost at 1.:100,00i1; the second at E. 125,000. Neither of these sums will suffice; for, if the experience derived from the form; - tints of every railway in the kingdom c in be relied on as a test, the cost will not be less than L'150,000. By the first prospectus tile ieveuue was calculated at £20,000 per annum, the expenses at £B,OOO, leaving a free income of £12,000 per annum, which would yield twelve per cent. on the Capital. By the second prospectus the revenue is calculated at £23,500, the expenses at £8,500, leaving a free income of 1.15,009, or exactly twelve per cent. on the increased capital.-, The coincidence is curious, and the way in Which it arises makes it apparent that the parties interested have been more anxious to bring out a captivating result than to inquire into the accuracy of the data ou which they proceed. Thus in prospectus No. 1 it is assumed, that 200,000 passen gers will travel annually on the railway,. which at Is. 6d. each will yield a revenue of £15,000; but in prospectus No. 2 the number of passengers is at once increased to 300,000, and the charge for carrying them is diminished to Is. each.* This is made to bring out the same result as No. I, and the revenue from tl;e passengers is declared in both to be £15,000 a-year. This calculation is absurd enough in itself, but it is rendered absolutely ludicrous when it is known that it proceeds on the assumption that there is no competition—that this projected thorough line of Railway is to be smothered by this Junctioned Company, and that the latter is not only to carry all the passen gess going between the two cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, but to augment the traffic 1(1) per cent., although there is no increase of speed compared with coach travelling. Again, both prospectuses calculated on a revenue from coals, &c., of 1:5,000 a-year ; but to make up the wished for return of 12. per cent, the second prospectus is obliged to add £3,500 a-year for the carriage of goods, exclusive of minerals, a source of emolument which the first prospectus never contemplated; and. both are sources which exist only in the vain imaginations of the parties interested in promoting this undertaking. The Junction Railway could never compete iulhis descrip tion of traffic with the Forth and Clyde Canal. - These facts (and I could give many more were it necessary) show the hollowness of the pretence that the Junction Railway will remunerate its shareholders. Indeed, from what has occurred since the prospectuses were. issued, it is evident that one of the parties promoting this line looks upon the speculation as being entirely for the benefit of the Union Canal, and another looks upon it with favour merely for the sake of the good to be done to the Garnkirk Railway- In short it appears to be intended by means of it to bolster up these two consumptive concerns, tile shares of which arts at pre sent considerably below par. The same game has been often tried before; how far it is calculated now to succeed is not for me to say. But I observe there is a strong difference of opinion on the subject among the canal proprietors; one set ofwhorn main- • tains that it will du good, another contends for the reverse, and. that the Hamannan Branch Railway, for which an act was ob tained last year, is the only one which can be of use as a feeder to the canal, and a third party, with apparently stronger reasons, insist that neither of these lines can benefit the canal, and ex poses very successfully the fallacy of the statement that they will do so. When the parties interested differ so much, the public cannot safely rely on any of them. 1 have not seed any attempt publicly made to prove how much the Garnkirk Railway will benefit by the Junction. But I see that the prospectus says that the Garnkirk people will consider any addition to their traffic as a sort of windfall, and will be glad to carry at very low rates of charge. It may be well to hold out this wfien the parties are begging, our subscriptions; but at once let the road be made and joined to the Garnkirk, and then woe betide the poor Junction Company. They will be at the mercy of the Garukirk at one end, and of the canal at the other. From the mercies of such friends they will soon pray to be delivered. But let us next contrast the benefit likely to result to the pub lic from this junction line, as contrasted with those which will . result from a thorough line. Ist. Speed —passengers are to be carried from Edinburgh to Glasgow in 4-I s hours—one half of the way by water, the other by the two railways. The time is understated; but, assuming it to he right, the disadvantages are—first, the unpleasant changes in the mode of travelling, and, as regards goods, the additional expense and risk of damage thereby created ; and next, that the time occupied in the journey is more than double what will be required on the thorough line. '2d. Economy is promised in th e rates of charge. But it is difficult to believe, where three companies are concerned, and, of course, three separate establishments to be maintained, the • charges can be so moderate as under a well regulated thorough line in the hands of one company. And the calculations of profit, which, as already stated, are based on the assumption of • this being the only improVed line Of communication between the two cities, will all be knockql on the bead by the execution of any thorouglrlit e.sess If it could, be for a moment supposed 'that parliament would sanction this double line of communication, let us inquire what would be the result of a competition. It is not on a railway as it is on a canal or a common road. On both these the expense of haulage is either of 'no 'importance in the calculation, or is the same to both parties competing. But on a railway of the best construction the expense of working the line is equal, and about one-half of the gross receipts. On a bad line it is equal to much m ore . I n a competition, therefore, between a bad line and one presenting faYourable inclinations, the former must go to the g,round. Now, in this point of competition, even at the same rate of fares, it would be toinous to the parties who might execute this line. No one cOnversant . with the subject will gravely maintain that the Garrikirk can form any part of ngeod passenger . line. It was coest reined f or th e conveyance o f coa l down to Glasgow, and the inclinations are not adapted to a pas senger traffic, or to the economical use of locomotive rower of a great speed. There is an incline of 21 miles long of l'in 150, which is too steep for unassisted locomotive power, and not steep enough for the economical use of an assistant or stationary engine. The terminus, too, in the neighbourhood of Glasgow is about 140 feet above the city, and cannot be brought into it without ri"Steep inclined plane, worked by a stationary power. Any at tempt to improve the levels or the terminus would involve the expenditure of immense sums of money in addition to all that has already been laid out upon it. It is obviously impossible, therefore, for the Garnkirk Company to support the interests of the Junction Company and Union Canal by carrying passengers at the low rate which they admit to be necessary to enable them to compete with any thorough line. Looking at these few facts, it is impossible to believe that the' promoters of the Junction Company are serious in saying that their line, if executed, would benefit either the public or. the subscribers. They seem to have calculated on the speculation mania which at present exists in getting up companies, good and bad, to enable them to fill their subscriptionlists, ru the hope that by so doing they might succeed in deterring the pros moters of a thorough line from proceeding with their undertak ing, so that if they could persuade parliament to sanction their projected line they might, at least for a time, strangle this na tional work. But, in both suppositions, they will be found lobe wrong; and those who are foolish enough, by subscribing for shares, to make themselves responsible ter the unrestricted ex pense of the parliamentary contest, which is impending, will have themselves to blame for the consequences. A FRIEND TO USEFUL RAILWAYS. * This is at the rate of less than Id. per mile. On the Eng lish railway the fares are 2d. per mile. About that some one half is reckoned as the expense of working the line. When the fares are thus reduced to Id. per mile, one would imagine that the whole, or almost the whole, receipts would be absorbed in the expense of working. But the framers of the second pro spectus, having decided that the expense must be about one half of the gross receipts, whatever these may be, haying re— duced the fares to Id., and by one sweep of the pen reduced the expense to Id. per mile. [ADVERTISEMENT.] THE GEORGE IV. STEAM-PACKET. • TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Stn,—ln consequence of a letter appearing in the Albion of to-day, from Captain Parsons, of the George IV. steainer, re , lating to the assistance rendered to the Howard, under my com mand, I beg to request the kindness of your inserting the f9l: lowing - stetentent or the facts of the case On the evening of the 12th instant the Howard, being in charge of a Liverpool pilot, struck on a bank off the Poiiit of Ayr, both anchors were let go to prevent her driving further on • the bank; she, however, soon beat her rudder off .and'betaine unmanageable, and, further bssisiance beirig n e c essary, I con sidered it my d u t y to or d er out the cutter, w i t h font. hands, to proceed in search of the required aid from any passing steamer or vessel, having in the meantime leftthe chief officer in chat ge, with strict orders not to leave thii ship' wiles --itbsolutely neces sary for the safety of the lives of the crew, f. which purpose the launch and secon d cutter were h o i ste d • :-the former broke adrift from the heavy sea that was on,. -four men 'were sent in the cutter t o b r in g her back,. but.m i Inch they did not suc ceed. This reduced the number of the‘crew to seven men, and the pilot, when the pilot-boat fell in 'with the ship, which boat went for the George the Fourth stearnir then in sight, at the time the Howard was in the Fairway Channel, wind then being moderate from the S.E. A stream anchor and kedge with hawsers were on board, and the ship could have been anchored and kept in safety until I returned; but the chief officer and pilot thought it better to obtain assistance from the George the Fourth, as it was uncertain how I had prospered in the first cutter. The captain of the George the Fourth then agreed to take her in tow, provided the pilot-boat remained astern with ropes to assist to steer. I now leave the ship to speak of myself • and the steam-boat I had procured by the prompt assistance of Messrs. Chapman and Willis, the agents fur Lloyds,. immediately on my arrival at Liverpool. I got back to the Floating Light Ship at about two o'clock, and saw a steam-boat at sonic distance from us, but not knowing the fact of the ship being there, I pro ceeded to the place u here I had left her ,• on the way I met a pilot-boat, that informed me the ship had got off at high water and proceeded towards the N ew Channel. I again went in search of her, and found her in the Rock Channel with the ahovenamed assistance. I ordered my steam-boat alongside.:-- nothing having been said to me by Captain Parsons, or any offer of £5 made, as mentioned in his letter In the Albion or at least I heard nothing of the kind. Having now stated the facts of the case, I beg it to be under stood that I do not wish to prejudice any claims Capt. Parsons may bring for remuneration, or to dinduish the credit due to him for his exertions. I remain, Sir, ou; obedient Servant, WM. F. CLARK, U4S. Navy. Liverpool, Feb:nary 22, 1836.
