TESTIMONIALS OF THI, PUBLIC PRESS " There are no diseases which have more puzzled the faculty than nervous complaints and insanity. Doctors have both been unable to account for them and to prescribe any means of cure. This darkness has, however, been cleared away by the clever author of the above pamphlet, in which he explains his theory of cure in a very rational manner, and we feel certain that it will induce many to apply to Mr. Adams for his able assistance."—The Chronicle, Dec., 1846.

THE subject of Railroads in India has a t l eng th attracted a degree of public attention,atillicient to ensure a speedy commencement anti:progressive - extension of a prin ciple so calculated to develope the infernal resources of that portion of our dominions. In the Minute of the Court Directors of the East Indi a Company, to the Bengal G . ' rnment, dated the 7th of M a y, 1845, it is stated,—" 'rha t cannot admit of question, th a t mai , wherever railroad com unication can be advantageously in troduced and maintained, it is eminently deserving the encou ragement and co-operation of the Government." The construction of any and every line of railroad within the East India Company's territories, must be undertaken with their sanction, and in subordination to such rules and regu lations as the local government under their authority may deem fit to enact ; and' the operations contemplated by this company will, of course, be conducted in conformity with such regulations. In surveying the vast extent of territory embraced by the Brjtish dominions in India, with a view to the introduction of railroads into that country, it would appear obvious, that the local demarcations which have been found convenient in the administration of the Indian Governments should be kept in view. In raising the capital required to carry these under takings into execution, it will be necessary that the Directors of the companies which may be formed in this country should contain a large proportion of gentlemen possessed of local knowledge and experience in that part of India which is to form the scene of their operations; and in this view of the case, it seems natural that for the most efficient working of such projects, a separate Board should be formed in this country for the organization of railway operations within each of the Presidencies of Bengal, Madras, and Bombay, to act in conjunction with local committees of the Indian Presidencies; each of such boards in England to contain sl:ch a proportion as may be thought desirable of parties gnat fled by residence and local knowledge of the different Presidencies, to afford useful and correct information upon the subjects brought before them. Impressed with these views, this Provisional Committee has been formed with the object of securing the introduction of the railway system into the territories under the Presidency of Madras. • In the minute of the Court of Directors above alluded to, it is stated to be their intention to depute to India a skilful Engineer, to be associated.with two Engineer Officers in their owd service, to investigate the subject of railway communica tion in India, in all its bearings; and they add, that one object of this committee will be to suggest some feasible line, of moderate length, as an experiment for railroad communication in India. It is probable that in no part of the East India Company's dominionstci e e ; t ai n: operations ty a s will o nI: of i h s t e he l subject n p e re o s f e r n i o ) tea Company o t f t T r a r o , i p m " a e :B I y e lal withar e rr } s p - o r t o o m p h u o l s e a eddre,aasis in the :aid a t n i, i it is to the construction of a railway between these points that first instance, to be directed, with a view to accomplish the primary object of the preliminary investigation about to be undertaken by the Committee- appointed by the East India Company. This line has all the requisites for an experimental railroad. The distance is moderate, being Two Hundred and Seventy Miles by the present winding route, and by this projected direct line the distance will only be Two Hundred Miles; and the country between the termini may be taken for all practical purposes as a level. There is already a substantial road raised, a s t: l d ch M a a d i r v a o s r , k w t h o i cv,hihtial withstand cdcetshse minute as operating against the railway system in India—the f p c;j ec . inl il ec i p a tr r iol s %'' o ge u dit :c et e lli s lae o ' i 'a d Cp e al s il t l i l t i t ia c tPy ti a ‘ ho, e f' action enumerated in the court's termini of which places are military stations, and of great commercial importance; a large traffic on goods, passengers, troops and military stores already exists upon the road ; and it passes through a fertile and very populous country. This pro vince was one of our earliest acquisitions in the East. Since the rise of the British power •in India it has enjoyed uninter rupted peace and tranquillity, and is, relatively to its extent, the most productive portion of our Indian Empire. The surveys and estimates already made by eminent engi neers contain the minutest details of the cost of construction of a single line of rail, upon a principle which has been found to be perfectly efficient in America. But it is considered that, however desirable such a construc tion maybe for the feeding lines that connect the thinly peopled and less cultivated tracts of the country with the main trunk lines upon which the largest portion of the traffic must always pass, a more substantial method of construction, and one more approaching than that found to answer best in Europe, will be required upon the trunk lines, of which that from Bellary.to Madras is the most important within the Madras territories. This part of the country is so singularly favourable for a rail road, that the cost of a single line with rails of the dimensions generally used in this country, will not exceed .es;coo a mile, and that, by fixing the available capital at .t'1,000,000, it is con sidered that a sufficient front will be provided to meet all the possible contingencies that can attend the construction of the proposed line. The present population of the territories included in the Presidency of Madras exceeds 14,000,00 o. The line will past throiath the country towards Hyderabad, the great cotton and indigo districts of Bellary, and also through the towns of Roopangoody, Hotoor, Wdgar-tinroor, Panndy, Calan witty, Moochatota, Taudaperata, Tallypootatoor, Vattoor, Gondytita, Baukrapp, Jummulmagoor, Camalapoor, Wallar, Chenoor, Cuddapah, Manchuply, Sidhot, Mnilailputinan, Ho bluni, Chinelulon, Pwer, Cotepanii, Mantlaloor, Cotoor, Dassoor, Podalcoor, Alumba'e, A \nice, Penpol nin,•and Cholaveram, to Mad and it will taunt facilities for the transport to the coast of the produce of Mysore and North Arcot, consisting of sugar, tea, coffee, nut, lac, potatoes, corn, oil, seeds, grain of various kinds, and charcoal and fireweed; towards the West it will facilitate communication with the cot ton districts of Salem and Coiinbatire ; Mid towards the South with the fertile countries of Trichinopoly and Tanjore. The best cotton that is 'raked in India is produced in the Madras territories; all that is required to enable it to compete success fully with American cotton, is increased facility for brinpin: , it to the shipping ports in rood condition, and at a moderate rate of transport, which can on'y dr , ctcd by a railway. r,Fe, c,„ of last Report by the Itir ec to r , of he Manchester (Wong q(Commerre. as regards the CottOo oroteth iii Jadia.l u T s i i i : : e rs o ' f il p r a ea st rer is s t . s w t t r iai ic i,,o l u j ltdh this I. )f ir g r o c o tgl l n ai ll ° pltl - the ex capital.

Gentlemen • I regard you as the special conserv a t ors o f th e h ea lth of this my native town, and I am sure, from the benevolent character and constitution of your committee, the humble, yet well intentioned, suggestions of any member of the commu nity will have your best consideration. Gentlemen, it has unfortunately occurred, within a very short time past, that the lives of two individuals, belonging to our Parish office, have been sacrificed by fever, in the course of lthe execution of their perilous duties. Mr. Charles S. Row land, than whom there could not have been a more oblig ing, gentlemanly, anctefficient officer, was cut off in the course of a very few days; and Mr. Smith, whose duties led him to be almost constantly mixed up with the lowest, and poorest, and filthiest portion of the distressed Irish, also fell a victim to their contamination. I have myself only been a short time an assistant relieving officer in the southern district, comprising Thomas'-street, Atherton street, Crosbie-street, Brick-streat, New Bird-street, &c., and I have had the misfortune to be laid down by typhus fever, which had very nearly terminated my existence, and I now remain extremely weak, and almost helpless, although I am now making periodical effortS to write my letter out. Now, gentlemen, we are only three sufferers; but look, I entreat you, at the numbers of poor, destitute, forlorn, creatures, who must inevitably suffer unless something be done for them. . . If I had my official memorandum-book at hand, I could enter into details of suffering such as I am sure you can have no conception of, nor, indeed, could any one unless • by personal investigation. I well remember opening the door of a cellar in Tho- 1 mas'-street, and when I had done so, I was compelled to ' retreat instantly, for I most truly felt the weight of the poisoned atmosphere, as it made its escape past me. One of the inmates was ill, and was cold, having little fire and I no food, and in order to keep the place warm, every cre vice and aperture was stuffed up with old bags and old rags. This of itself was enough to engender fever, and so spread its fearful influence in that dirty locality. On another occasion I visited a cellar, where there were no less than three poor helpless infants, lying huddled toge ther in a bundle of collected filthy rags—not bel.:clothes— and all sick of the small-pox in its worst stage —and, oh! the cellar was awfully and disgustingly tmeretane These I are heart-rending recitals; butl have yet woese e tO t e ll. More towards the south end of the town, "(I forget the name of the street, for my memory is somewhat . impaired by siekne.ss,) I went on a visit t o a court-house: - 1 had no sooner entered, and enquired for the. persOn 'making application for relief, than a wretched half-starved Irish woman came flying as it were down the stairs, exclaiming, " 0 master, master, what shall .1 'do. I can't get the Woman into a coffin." She had not rightly understood what was told her at the Parish-office, in referenee t - ,t the registrar's certificate being first required, and therefore . she had lost her labour on this first day. I can, hos 'Waver, bear my most solemn teAhnony to the fact, that Ary': possible care is taken by pi/ in the office, • without..nFt.., p tion, to explain distinctly to these poor ignorant:beinv, , what the requirement is, beflre tlicy ego:Obtain a erMin 1 or 7 , epolture.

About eighteen inches only froM the feet of the corpse lay the object of my visit ; and on the other side of the room, - about a Yard distant, there was 'an empty bed, which would no doubt be the resting-place of some other of the inmates of the lazar house.

The Proprietor " keeps the best of everything." No price precludes an article from the table. He personally superintends every department, and—advertises in the STANDARD. DARING ROBBERY.—Yesterday, two men, named James Barn and Thomas Brideson, were placed at the bar, charged with breaking into the house of a poor woman, residing in Garden-lane. The complainant stated that, on Sunday morning, about three o'clock, the prisoners. with two other men, came to her house and knocked at the door, threatening to break it in if it were not opened. Their request not being complied with, they smashed in the pannels of the door, and effected an entrance; after which they carried off a quantity of wearing apparel. The complainant gave the alarm, when a police-offieer came up and succeeded in apprehending the two prisoners, The other parties escaped. The wearing apparel was found near the house, having been dropped by the prisoners when they were - pursued.

ANuFACTURING DISTRICTS.—The operatives, of Afanchester'who have been suffering some months from want eremployment, met on Thursday morning to take measures for their own relief. The assembly was ad. dressed by several working men out of employment. The whole of the speakers seemed to throw the responsibility of their present deplorable condition on the shoulders of those speculators in corn and cotton who are now sup posed to be fattening on the misery Of the working classes. The following resolutions were unanimously carried : That in the opinion of this meeting it is the thity of government to protect the working classes against all monopolies, inasmuch as the monopolists of corn sail cotton possess witlin theraSeives the power to throw the working classes out cf employment and starve them into acts of violence.

TO TILE WORSHIPFUL THE MAYOR. • SIR.,—I am extremely glad to perceive that the public -generally, and more especially the influential portion thereof, seem to be quite aware of the importance of -adopting sanitary measures for the amelioration of the health and condition of the inhabitants, and that you have placed yourself at the head of the movement. In fur therance of this object, I will, with the Editor's permis sion, offer a few brief remarks, which probably may not be quite irrelevant to the question before us. In the first place, I maintain it to be futile to esta blish baths, Stc., without better habitations are provided for the working classes, and cleanliness promoted in the, domestic circle. It is my firm impression that until this is effected, all other appliances will be comparatively use less, :and vain will be the attempt. The plan proposed by Dr. Blackburn, at the annual meeting of the Health of Towns, Association, to rebuild cottage tenements of the worst description, meets with my approbation, though it would notwithstanding be more advisable for a joint-stock con4Pany t 'undertake it, with the sanction of the corpo ration, -as the latter body have enough to do in other mat ters without becoming speculating builders. In'the'neitt place I will bring under your notice the revolting practice ,of allowing interments within the Borough. This should. not be tolerated any longer, but' ,be immediately discontinued. There is ample space on the North Shore, towards Formby Point, for the forma tion of a Cemetery, on a large scale, which ably con ducted by a respectable Joint Stock proprietary, might answer every purpose for centuries to come. In the meanwhile every method should be taken to prevent the public health suffering from contagion. I have heard that. the use of Lime is effectual in removing the unwholesome , effluvia arising from grave-yards. It has been known that infectious disorders have re appeared, after the lapse of many years, simply by dis turbing the ground wherein the remains of persons were deposited, whose deaths occurred through plague, cholera, or fever. How cautious then should we be with these: awful facts before us, to prevent, if possible, a recurrence of the latent evil. I am respectfully, your - obedient servant, SPONDEUS. THE EXCHANGE NEWS-ROOM AND ITS MANAGEMENT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, SlR,—Amidst all the dissensions (religious and political) which vex society, every man of business must hitherto have found it a most agreeable arrangement that, by general consent, they have been excluded from the com mercial world, and must, in consequence, deprecate any violation of this rule. I am induced to address you, because I observed with much pleasure, in a recent number of your valuable paper, notice was very properly taken of the refusal to allow the petition for a National Fast to lie for signature in the Exchange News-room, after the utmost license had been given to Free-Trade, pro-Slave-Sugar, - cum multis aliis petitions of questionable character; and I wish to point out for your further animadversion, a petition which I see to-day in the News-room for the first time, viz., one for the total abolition of the punishment of death. Hitherto the signatures have been very few ; but. I grieve to see the honoured name of Dr. Raffles among those who are audacious enough to answer the question, 4th Job 17th verse—" Shall a mortal man be more just than God ?" The rest appear to consist chiefly of alnico- Socinians and others, who make lofty pretensions to humanity. I would ask them, if they would affect credit for a higher degree of humanity than one who literally. " went about doing good ;" and whose life has been written by a near relation of Dr. Raffles,—will not even they blush as they read the following—" I would wish that no person might suffer capitally but for murder—for setting houses on fire, and for house breaking attended with acts of cruelty."—John Howard, Appendix 6, State of Prisons, 2nd edition, p. 170. But to return to the source of this evil E l would ask that inqury should be made where this partial influence in the mangement of the News-room resides, in order that it may be over-ruled. It cannot be the interest of the pro prietors to disgust those numerous subscribers who may sign themselves as I now do, Your obedient humble servant, A CONSERVATIVE, A PROTESTANT, AND A CHURCHMAN. Liverpool, 6th March, 1847. TO THE CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF THE HEALTH COMMITTEE. little fear, having consulted a medical gentleman on the subject, that disease under such treatment would shortly disappear. At Strnow, gentlemen, I have only one thin g more to propose, which i s , as we ice taken the liberty to sweep away theirbeds, it is only fair -tM equivalent should be offered to them for the loss sustained, and this could be done at a very trifling cost. Follow up your lime cart, with a load of good clean straw, and- then distribute your favours as you may see they are required.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, Your very obedient Servant, JAMES QLTAYLE. Kirkdale-road, March, 1847. WATER FROM WINDERMERE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. As you have always taken the lead in the all-absorbing question of water, I have made a few calculations whi c h are at your disposal if you think them worthwhile. The sta tistics, believe, are correct. When the question was first mooted, I thought of the practicability of going to Windermere lake for a supply that would be inexhausti ble, but the magnitude of the scheme, and the immense cost made me give up the idea, but since the inquiry into the Rivington Pike scheme, facts have come out that I should think would make that scheme, if acted upon, eqUally expensive, from the great amount of compensa tion that will have to •he paid to parties in that district, and as there.can be no comparison in the quality of the water, I have again turned my attention to the subject. I would propose to take the water from the Leven, a stream that flows from the lake, somewhere abOut Back barrow. Ido not know the height of that locality from the sea; it can be easily ascertained from the ordnance survey ; but at all events it is very considerably higher than Liverpool. I take the distance to be about seventy six miles.; and I would suppose that the water should be conveyed along the railways in two pipes of twenty-four inches diameter. These would convey 11,178,000 gallons per diem, or rather more than thirty-seven gallons per diem for 300,000 inhabitants. Then comes the expense, which is enormous; but if the towns through which it is conveyed were to have reservoirs,in connection with these pipes, erected, and take their supply from them, bearing a portion of the expense, it would not be so very stupendous a project. A pipe of 24 inches diameter, to stand the pressure of water, must be 14: inches in thickness, and would weigh about 310Pbs. per, foot lineal, making the weight of one pipe one mile, 731 tons, 17 cwts., 3 qrs., 12 lbs. Weight for 76 miles, 55,573 tons, 17 cwts., 0 qrs., 16 lbs. Weight of two pipes, 111,147 tons, 14 cwts., 1 qr., 8 lbs., at £lO per ton, would be £1,111,477 3s. 2d. I have no doubt but that £lO per ton is a very high price, and would cover the expense of laying the pipes.— Yours, &c., A PRACTICAL MAN. `[We give insertion with pleasure to the above letter of A practical man." We have a scheme however before us, which we prefer, of impounding the water on the hills of Cumberland, instead of drawing the supply required from Windermere Lake, and allowing the towns in Lan cashire to avail themselves of the supply, contributing of course their quota of the expense. We shall perhaps refer to this next week : in the mean time our correspondent's figures are siOsfactory as showing that the expense of our plan will be beloW our original conception.—Ed. L. S.] FEARFUL COLLIERY ACCIDENT. We regret to record a fearful coalpit accident, .attended with the loss of nearly eighty lives, which took place on Friday afternoon at the Great Ardsley Main, or Oaks Colliery; near Barnsley. About three o'clock, several persons 'near the mouth of the pit were alarmed by - 'a terrific explosion from the shaft, which was followed by an eruption of smoke, timber, coal, stone, &c., resembling the eruption of a volcano. Two or three of the men were removing the corres from the pit mouth at the time. We understand that there had been no previous indica tions of danger up to the very moment of the explosion. On the first report being given, women were seen run ning in a state of distraction from every part of the town towards the scene of devastation. After considerable and unavoidable delay, two workmen, named Littlewood an Armitage, succeeded in getting down the shaft (which is 284 yards deep), with a trunk or iron bucket, and bringing up three men. Armitage kept going down, and bringing up with him men and boys, until he had succeeded in getting 24 persons out alive, but each succeeding arrival at the mouth of the pit brought to the view of the horri fied spectators nothing save corpses and mutilated remains. Carts were employed the whole of the night carrying the unfortunate men to those dwellings which they had left' in health and spirits but a few hours before. Before twelve at night, 41 bodies were taken out; and between 30 and 40 bodies yet remain in the pit, i r~ VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT.—SATURDAY. CORPORATION OF LIVERPOOL V. NORRIS. Mr. Bethel asked for an injunction, restraining the de fendant from building on a place called Islington -place, in Liverpool, contrary to the provisions of a local act, which directed that when the old buildings were pulled down none should be erected on the site, but the new ones should be built so as to range with the rest of the street. The defendant had bad notice of the act. Injunction granted. 4 • I • LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.
