Mr. Cubitt has further stated, that this Line is also th most favourable as regards the expense of construction, and that his estimate of £900,000 is fully sufficient for completing the undertaking, including the plant and every other expense up to the opening of the Railway. The Company will be in a situation to submit evidence to Parliament that the traffic will yield a return of eight per cent. to the Shareholders. After the act is obtained, interest at the rate of four per cent. will be allowed upon the calls from the date of pay ment until the Line is opened for traffic. The parliamentary Plans will be completed in time for deposit, so that application may be made to Parliament for the act next session.

CA true copy.) J. 11. 13UMFREY, SECRETARY. Sheffield, 2nd November, 1844. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY. TO THE SHAREHOLDERS. GENTLEMEN, QOM E one has publicly addressed you under the ano nymous signature of " Plain Dealer." From the whole tenor of his letter, I think 1 am justified in stating that he is not one of us, but a Caledonian Shareholder ; and I challenge him to a disclosure of his real name. It I am mistaken, and if he, notwithstanding, dislikes pub lishing his name and address let hina - send them to our Secretary, with his assuranre as a gentleman, that he wrote the letter in question, and I shall be satisfied. My name and address *re already communicated to the Secretary. I wish I con believe his statement, that the projected Caledonian Railway would not injure the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. But he admits that it is a parlillel line between the two termini at Edinburgh and Glasgow, only ten miles longer than ours. Farther, he cannot ding (although he is cautiously silent on the subject) that the Caledonian and Scottish Central Lines will also afford an independent rival communication, as short as ours, from Glasgow to Stirling, and thence to the whole North of Scotland. Such being the case, I think it requires no argument to prove to you that these two undertakings, if sanctioned by Parliament, would affect Seriously the prosperity of our undertaking. It seems tä me quite un necessary fur us to consult any neutral Engineer or Agent on such a subject. Indeed, every Shareholder has now the admitted facts befo'e him, and can judge for himself. I think, therefore, that " Plain Dealer," in place of writ ing an anon'mous letter to you in the Newspapers would have done better (if he really is one of our number) had he attended the late Special General Meeting, and sup ported his friend Colonel Graham, the Chairman of the Caledonian Line, who, although he holds only one share in the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, came to protest against our proceedings. Colonel Graham, when at our meeting, intimated his intention, as he had no supporter there, to endeavour to stir up opposition among you to the resolution of the Special General Meeting, and I presume this letter of " Plain healer" is the firA advance of the forlorn hope. The Chairman's circular to you, and the plan of the Rival Lines which accompanied it, put matters, however, in too clear a light to admit of your being misled by any such attempt. Plain Dealer," like Colonel Graham, states that the injury to be inflicted on our Railway is unintentional It it were so, the fact would still be no consolation to us for the loss of our money. But how do these gentlemen reconcile the unintentional character of the injury with the recent alteration on the point of divergence of the two forks recommended by the Commissioners in the only object of which evidently is to shorten the distance between Edinburgh and Glasgow ?—or with this other fact which has just now come to light, viz., that in the Parliamentary Notices of the Caledonian Line, there is a branch intended to cut off the apex of the triangle near Lanark, and there by still farther shorten the distance between Edinburgh and Glasgow ? When the plans are deposited next month, we shall probably find that the actual difference of distance is even less than is now given out. There already exist, besides the turnpike roads, two great lines of communication between Edinburgh and Glasgow—one by the Canals, and the other by Railway. There is invested in these undertakings about three mil lions of money. They ate perfect so far as frequency of opportunities, speed, cheapness, and safety, are concerned. In none of these respects is it even alleged that this new undertaking will benefit the public ! There being, there fore, no advantage guaranteed to the public—there bring no possibility of gain to the promoters of this Caledonian Railway (for there is not traffic to support the triple com petition), can it be expected that Parliament will ever sanction such an unjust invasion of private property ? It is superfluous to notice to you the statement of " Plain Dealer," that there are some of those who are officially connected with this Railway who are also pro moters of the proposed Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle' Line. The statement it-elf is exaggerated, but it is well f for us that it is even in part true, a nd I hope the effect of the intimate union of the two undertakings will be a eon , inuatice of the cordial co-operation of all parties against the common enemy. I beg, however, to state that I my self have no connexion whatever with the Glasgow, Dum fries, a nd Carlisle Line, or with any of the other under takings named in the preceding letter, excepting your own. I shall only notice in conclO - sion what " Plain Dealer" has said as to the map circulated by our Chairman, show ing (as he says) an actual connexion between the Edin burgh anti Glasgow and Ayrshire Railways. It does not do so. On referring to it you will find that the " con nexion" is a dotted line, as ate all the other proposed lines shown on the map. The Glasgow Junction Railway. however, is meant to connect the termini of these two lines, and will be before Parliament next session. 1 am, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant. SHAREHOLDER. Glasgow, 23d October, 1814. PAPIER MACIIEE.—When this material was first in troduced to public notice, it was admired for its exact imitation of the most elaborate carviegs in wood ; but so rapidly has it risen to perfection, and so beautifully deli cate yet durable are many of the articles produced in it, that it cannot now be compared to any thing that has pre. ceded it. A most he utiful specimen of workmanship in thi s material is now exhibiting at Mr. Key's, in 80ld -street. It is a splendid Chimney Glass Frame, of foliage sur mounted by a basket of fruit—the graceful effect of which cannot be described in the limits of a paragraph. CIGARS.—It will be seen by an advertisement in another column, that in addition to the extensive tobacco manufactory recently established by Messrs. W. Percival and Son, in Dale-street, these enterprising gentlemen have commenced manufacturing cigars. Extensive alte rations have been made in the premises, so as to facilitate in every way the drying and seasoning ; and the specimens we have seen are quite equal to most of the foreign manu facture. Nor can we see any reason why they should not be. when they arc produced from exactly similar material. The greatest difference is in the price. TRAIN'S LINE OF PACKETS.—A line of packets has just been started between this port and Boston under this title, for which Messrs. Baring Brothers are the consig nees. The vessels selected are all first-class shiFs. Those already advertised are the Dorchester, Captain Caldwell, 480 tons, the Governor Davies, Captain Neef, 700 tons, the Peteishurgh, Captain Trask, 810 tons, and a new ship the Joshua Bates, The punctual sailing of these vessels will be ereatly felt by the public. And it is somewhat astonishing that a line of packets should not have before been establishes to Boston, a city more noted for its en terprii3e and rapid increase of late years than any other in Aotrica. "Make way here," said a member of a rcpublizan de putation, " we are the rtpresentr.tives of the people." Make way } ourself," scouted a sturdy fellow from the throng, " we are the people themselves." GRAND CONCERTS AT THE THEATRE- ROYAL. The proprietors of this establishment provided, on the evenings of Thursday and Friday, a musical treat, such as has rarely been experienced within its walls, by the engagement of Signora F. Lablache, Camillo Sivori, the celebrated violinist, and only pupil of Pacranini, Piatti, an ;Drivelled performer upon the violincello, Herr Doh ler, the celebrated pianiste, Madame F. Lablache and Miss Steele, with Mr. J. Reeves, a member of our local corps. To increase the attraction, the services of Mr. H. Russell, the popular singer and song writer, were secured for the occasion. On both evenings the houses, we regret to say, were very inadequltely tilled, considering the amount of talent provided, a cirouinstance which, in part, may perhaps be attributed to the concerts taking place during the excitement of our municipal election, when many of our playgoers would be employed in the various contests. We have so recently had an opportunity of hearing and noticing the singing of some of the party engaged, that it would be superfluous in us attempting to give, so far as they are concerned, more than a general verdict upon their qu-lities as shewn in the present occasion. Signor F. Laolache was in excellent voice, and executed all that was allotted to him with his usual excellence. Mr. J. Reeves also acquitted himself well, although his faults (and he has some) shone out rather conspicuously when con trasted with the correct singing of the more experienced artistes by whom he was surrounded. In the scum from " Sommnbula" on the second evening he appeared to us too much impressed with the difficulty of Lis vosition to put forth his usual powers, and was occasionally out of tune. Al r. Reeves bass good voice to work upon, and with practice and study will achieve much more than he has hitherto done. Miss Steele, who is a stranger to us, is a Pleasing and correct singer, with scarcely power enough. however, for a large theatre. She gave the pieces allotted to her, however, with great taste and finish, as did Ma dame F. Lablache, whose fine voice has, since we heard her, been aided by additional and scientific cultivation. The most striking and attractive portions of the two evenings' concerts were certainly the instrumental per formances of Dobler, Camillo Sivori, and Piatti, es pzcially the latter. A more wonderful command than that of Piatti over an instrument, so unwieldy as the violincello, has certainly never been attaiced. Pas.azes of music, tones and effects which are considered difficult to violin players of high excellence, appear to him perfectly easy ; and the precision of his stopping is quite remark able. 11 is " G rand concertante duet" with Dohler, from " Lucretia Borgia," was the most. masterly and beautiful thing we ever listened to in a concert robat, dese. vedly drew down continued and enthusiastic applauses from the audience, of which, however, in justice to Herr Dobler, we are bound to say that that great master of his instru ment was entitled to his full half. Dobler is certainly one of the first, if not the first, pianist of his day ; and his performances on both nights astonished and delighted at the same time. The merits of Camillo Sivori are too well known and recognised to require any remarks of ours, especially as they have so recently been amply discussed in this town. We can imagine, however, an increased power of execu tion and a finer quality of tone in his playing than whelk we last beard him. His " Andante and Carnival of Ve nice" brought the great magician Pa4anini so 'strikingly to menicry, - that we had but to close our eyes to the stage and imagine that he stood before us bodily. Mr. H. Russell was indeed an addition to the evening's performances. His "Maniac" on the first evening was splendidly given, and little less striking, if at all less, was his " Ship on fire," on the second evening. Both were enthusiastically encored. The concerts went off on the whole with the greatest satisfaction, and we only regret that they were so insufficiently attended. The Earl of Harrowby returned to Sandon-halL S!affurdshire, fritn Harrogate, in great y improved health. Viscount and Lady Frances Sandon anu fa ally are staying with the noble earl. MR. STURGE A TEETOTALLER.-CASE OF CONSCIENCE. —A good deal of amusement. has been excited by the an nouncement in the last monthly Corn Circular of Mes , ira. Sturge, that the firm intended in future to decline thcsale of malt;ng barley !—Ttn Towns Messenger. CHRIST CHURCH SCEIOOLS.—On Sunday. October 27th, two sermens were preached in Christ Church, on behalf of the Christ Church National Schools ; that in the morning by the Rev. Fielding Ould ; that in the evening by the Rev. Dr. Byrth. The cellections (including a do nation of £5) amounted to the sum of £57. A handsome ring was put into the box in the evening. DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE AT SEA.—On the 14th of October, the American trader, Llan Rumney, Captain Simpson, of Hull, being on her way home from St. John's. New Brunswick, was struck on the lartAiard quarter by a tremendous sea, which washed the captain and the cook to the further end of the ship with such violence as to Cause their deaths shortly afterwards. JUVENILE DELINQUENCY.—Yesterday, two boys, one about 15 years of age, and the other only nine, ware charged with stealing several handkerchiefs from a chop is Sr. James's-street. The older boy was sent to the House of Correction for a . month. The parents of the younger Mr. Rushton ordered to be brought up, remarking that he could not punish such a child, as he was evidently an instrument in the bands of bigger boys. THE LATE GALE.—We were visited, on Friday and Saturday by a terific gale from the southeast, which we fear, must have done some damage to the shipping in the channel, and on the coast of Ireland. The fine, first class American ship Sea, Captua Edwards, for Nnw York, sailed, about three o'clock on Saturday morning, with a full complement of passengers, snd, in about an hour after, went on shore in Bootle bay. She was got off at the flood of the tide, and was brought back to Liver pool, without having received any damage. She pro ceeded on her voyage on Sunday. The El.annr. for Tam pico, put back to Liverpool, on Saturday, to be surveyed, hiving been on shore near the. Magazines on the morning of that day. A letter was received front Holyhead, on Smday, dated the 2,1 inst. which statets that the Eclipse, Cook, for Ipswich to Liv:rpool, sank in that harbour C e night befare. Further let lligence from Holyhead and other places will be found under the head " Shipping Intelligence," elsewhere. THE IRISH MAILS.—The mail steamers, in tolerable weather, make h r trips to and from Kingstown with the greatest regularity in tvelve I ours and under. They hay-, however, within the last few days, b. e • 134 fled by bo ate sous head-winds and other causes, winch have in terte el with the r regularity. The Medina, which left Kin s awn on Friday morning last, at a quarter past seven o'clock, ought to have reached here, in ordinary course, between seven and eight on Friday evening. Owing, however, to the Formby Lightship having been d •.ven from her moorings, she was detained outside, and d d not reach Liverpool till a quarter past eight on Satur day night, having been twenty-five hours on her passage. Fee Iron Duke, which left Kingstown on Friday evening at a quarter put seven, and which ought to have been here on Saturday morning, between seven and eight o'clock, did not make her appearance till half-past two o'clock on Saturday afternoon, having been nineteen hours and a quarter cn her passage. She was etarded solely 1 y the gale. INQUESTS BEFORE MR. STATHAM, DEPUTY Bo- ROUGH CORONER. — On Saturday, on view of the bolly of Daniel Harrison. a working man, aced 52, which was found on Friday, floating in the Queen's Dock.

He was conveyed to the Southern Hospital, but mortification set in on Tuesday, and caused his death on Friday. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death," accordingly. • AN IMMENSE CHIMNLY.—The large chimney at the works of Messrs. William fill and Sons, manufacturing chemists,Vauxhall-road, is now corn pitted, and is certainly the most lofty, and consequeatly the most prominent spiral erection in our town—forming, in fact, a conspicuous land-mark from the river, as well as the opposite Cheshire shore for many miles round. Friday last was the " rear ing day," when the apeet - of this huge and tapering shaft was surmounted by two British fa.s, which, though large, appeared but the size or handkerchiefs. Through out the day numbers of pal ties ascended, in a bucket, hoisted by a winch in the interior, to the giddy top, %hence they obtained a magnificent view of the town and n eighbourhood, Cheshire, the sea to vast extent, &c. They app,- - ar.!d to the spectators below to be no larger than dods popping their heads over the top cr capital. The height of the shaft is 309 feet, being about 8U feet higher from the ground than the spire of St. George's Church, but springing from land apparently rather lower. It is of perfect conical form, and was regularly plirn. med by rule as the work proceeded, and not, as is sometimes customary, merely by the eye of the workman. The summer season of three years has been employed in erect ing it. It is forty feet in diameter at the base, (on r a level with the ground,) and nine feet in diameter at the top, where theta is an ornamental cornice and blceking. The first course of bricks in the foundation was severs teen yards in diameter. The circular wall below is, ac cording to our own rapid measurement, about five feet two inches in thickness. The whole has the appearance of bei g perfectly smooth, and true in its bearings, great pains having been taken to render it secure. The brick work, (" l ough plain, is one of the best and firmest speci mens we have seen in any building of similar elevation. The bricks are all without a flaw, and the mortar was Iground by the engine in a manner rendering it equal to the beet cements. It is generally found to be a difficult mat ter to accomplish such a work without its warping, and consequent necessity of sawing. the care and time t a k en h ave secure d But, t i n heo t o h st ; s instance, ratifying result. There are some chimneys in great Britain of a lease, st r a h m ig o h n e g relevation; hut this is entitled to rank, at n the highest. It is about the. same apparent height as the too well-known soap• boilery establishments at ltuneotn; hut short of that of Messrs. Tennints, Of Glasgow, which Glasgow, is, - if we remember correctly, abut 400 feet. After all, it is a very magnificent "bristle on the back of nature," and great credit is due to the proprie tors ror their liberal and judicious ex. enditure in reader ing it at once an object of interest from its magnitude, and, as is got ds the put:Lein the neighbourhood. perfectly safe.
