GENTLEMEN, SOM E one has publicly addressed you under the ano nymous signature of " Plain Dealer." From the whole tenor of his letter, I think I 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. If I am mistaken, and if he, notwithstanding, dislikes pub lishing his name and address, let him send them to our Secretary, with his assurance as a gentleman, that he wrote the letter in question, and I shall be satisfied. My name and address are already communicated to the Secretary. I wish I could believe his statement, that the projected Caledonian Railway would not injure the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. But he admits that it is a parallel line between the two termini at Edinburgh and Glasgow, only ten miles longer than ours. Farther, he cannot deny (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 to me quite un necessary for us to consult any neutral Engineer or Agent on such a subject. Indeed, every Shareholder has now the admitted facts before him, and can judge for himself. I think, therefore, that " Plain Dealer," in place of writ ing an anonymous 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 Dealer" is the first 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 If 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 1841, 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 theactual 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 are 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 being 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 itself is e x ag gerated, but it is well for us that it is even in part true , and I hope the effect of the intimate union of the two undertakings will be a con tinuance of the cordial co - op eration of all parties against the common enemy. I beg, however, to state that I my self have no connexion whatever with the Glasgow, Duct fries, and Carlisle Line, or with any of the other under. takings named in the preceding letter, excepting your own. . . I shall only notice in conclusion 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 and 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 - are all the other proposed lines shown on the map. Tile Glasgow Junction Railway, however, is meant to connect the termini of these two lines, and will be before Parliament next session. I am, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant. SHAREHOLDER. Glasgow, 23d October. 1844. PAPIER MACREE.—When this material was first in troduced to public notice, it was admired tor its exact imitation of the most elaborate carvings in wood ; but so rapidly has it risen to perfection and so beautifully deli cate. yet durable are many of th e articles produced in it, that it cannot now be compared to any thing that has pre. ceded it. A most be utiful specime n of workmanship in this material is now exhibiting at Mr. Key's, in 80ld -street. It is a splendid Chimney Glass Frame, of f o li age sur mounted by a basket of fruit—the graceful effect of which cannot be described in limits of a paragraph. CIGARS.—It will be ECTI by an adverti semen t i n 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 are 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 titla, for which Messrs. Baring Brothers are the consig nees, The vessels selected are all first-class shits. Those already advertised are the Dorchester, Captain Caldwell, 480 tons, the Governor Davies, Captain Neef, 700 tons, the Pete, sburgb, Captain Frask, 810 sons, and a new ship the Joshua Bates, The punctual sailing of these ve sse l s will be greatly felt by the public. And it is somewhat astoniihing that a line of packets should not have b e f ore been establisded to Boston , a city more noted for its en terprise and rapid increase of late years than any other in America. " Make way here," said a member of a republican de p putation, " we are the representatives of the people." " Make way yourself," shouted a sturdy fellow from the throng, " we are the people themselves." FOR THE HAIR! THE SKINI AND THE TEETH! la AVE long been renowned, and are now uni versa ll y 1.1. held in high estimation for their efficient yet mild operation. The August Patronage conceded by our gra cious Queen, the Royal Family, and the several Sovere,gns and Counts of Europe, together with the fact of their ge neral use in all countries, and the numerous testimonials constantly received of their efficacy, characterize them with perfection, and sufficinitly prove their value. ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL. This Elegant, Fragrant, and Transparent Oil, in its preservative, restorative, and beautifying qualities, is un equalled over the whole world. It preserves and repro duces the hair, even at a late period of life ; prevents it from falling off or turning grey ; restores grey hair to its original colour ; frees it from scurf and dandruff; and renders it soft, silky, curly, and glossy.

CA UTION.—Each genuine bottle has the words " Rowland's Macassar Oil" engraved in two lines on the Wrapper ; and on the hack of the Wrapper nearly I'soo times, containing 29,028 letters. All others are spurious imitations. ROWLAND'S KALYDOR, An Oriental Botanical Discovery, and perfectly free from all mineral admixture. It exerts the most soothing, gen tle, cooling, and purifying action on the skin; and most eff, ctualll dissipates all Redness, Tan, Pimples, Blotches, Spots, Freckles, Chilblains, Chapped Skin, and other Cu taneous Visitations. The radiant bloom it imparts to the Cheek, and the softness and delicacy it induces on the Hands, Arms, and Neck, render it indispensable to every Toilet. Gentlemen, after Shaving, will find it allay all irritation and tenderness of the Skin, and render it soft, smooth, and pleasant. Price 4s. 6d. and Bs. 6d. per bottle, duty included. CAUTION.—Beware of Imitations of the most delete rinus character, containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellent action endangering health. See that the words " Rowland's Kslydor" are on the Wrapper ; and "A. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-garden," engraved (by authority of the Hon. Commissioners of Stamps) on the Government Stamp affixed on each bottle. ROWLAND'S ODONTO, OR PEARL DENTIFRICE. A fragrant White I'orvder, prepared from Orient a l Herbs of inestimable virtue for strengthening, preserving, and cleansing the Teeth. It eradicates tartar from the Teeth, and thus lends a salutary growth and freshness in the gums. It removes spots of incipirnt decay, polishes and preserves the enamel of the Teeth, imparting the most pure and pearl like whiteness •, and gives sweetness and perfume to the Breath.—Price 2s. 9d. per box. CAUTION.—To protect the Public from Fraud, the Government Stamp, (as on the " Kalydor,") is affixed on each box. IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Unprincipled • Shopkeepers, for the sake of gaining a trifle more profit, vend the most spurious Compounds under the same names ; (some under the implied sanction of Royalty) they copy the label, bills, and advertisements of the original prely4rations, and substitute either a ficti tious name or the word "Genuine" in the place of " Row lands." It is therefore highly necessary to see that the woad " Rowland's" is on the Wrapper of each artic!e. ** All others are Fraudulent Imitations. ',e genuine Articles are sold by the Proprietors as above, and by Chemists and Perfua.ers. LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY. HOURS OF DEPARTURE.

THE Provisional Committee feel it to be their duty in the present stage of their proceedings, to announce to the Shareholders that the Deposits have been paid, and the Subscription Contract executed, to the full amount required by the Standing Orders of Parliament. The Committee have also great satisfaction in announc ing that in addition to Mr. Buck and Mr. Gravatt, (the engineers,) they have engaged the professional services of Mr. Cubitt, as Consulting Engineer, who is engaged in a personal inspection of the whole of the Line. The most satisfactory progress has been made with the Plans, Surveys, and other preparations for Parliament, and the Committee think it right to assure the Share holders that not a day will be lost from the commence ment of the Session in presenting the Bill to the Honse of Commons, and pressing it forward at the earliest period that the rules of . Parliament will allow. The Churnet Valley Railway, by its proposed junction with the Trent Valley, near Tamworth, will form the shortest line which the nature of the country will admit of, from London to Manchester, Preston, Lancaster, Carlisle, Glasgow, and the West of Scotland ; and the Committee have to inform the Shareholders, that in order to guard against the possibility of being deprived, by any circum stance, of the direct communication with the London and Birmingham Railway, by way of the Trent Valley Line at Rugby, they have resolved to give the necessary notices, and to deposit plans and sections from the termination of the Churnet Valley Railway, near Tamworth, to Rugby, so as to insure the means of obtaining in the ensuing ses sion the whole of the advantages contemplated by this important Line of Railway.

Mr. Cubitt has further stated, that this Line is also tb 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.

(A true copy.) J. H. HUMFREY, SECRETARY. Sheffield, 2nd November, 1844. [The following, which appeared last week in our Town Edition, is re-inserted for the perusal of distant Subscribers.] OPENING OF THE NEW ROYAL EXCHANGE • BY HER MAJESTY.. At about half-pa , t eleven o'clock yesterday morning her Majesty start& d from Buckingham Pa!ace to the scene of this impo&n?, ceremcuy, passing along P4ll Mall and the Strand to the City, amidst the acclamations of thou sands of her gratifier's subjects. Sto appeared, we rejoice to say, in the best of health and spirits throughout the day, and evidently felt and enjoyed the euthusi•:stic greet ings with which she was received. A'ong the whole route of her progress the houses, shops, &c., were densely thronged with spectators, and variously, and some sit, perbly decorated. A detachment of life guards, with a number of the no bility and the cabinet. ministers had previously entered the city to meet toe civic authorities and prepare for her Majesty's reception. At about twelve o'clock, the caval cade reached Temple-bar, the gat,s of which had been previously closed and immediately opened again ; to fulfil the usual custom ; and on arriving there, the royal s t a t e carriage, containing her Majesty, Prince Albert, the mis tress of the robes (Duches of Btmcleugh)„ and the Master of the Horse (Earl of Jersey), sopped itnnaedi ately under the Bar, where they were rcce'ved by the Lord Mayor, who handed to her Majesty the City sword of state, which was graciously received, and returned in the usual form. The cavalcade then proceeded, which the denseness of the crowd in Fleet-street rendered in some placei a matter of no little difficulty. Passing up Ludgate-hill and by St. Paul'e to Cheapside, the scene on each side of the way was magnificeut. the streets being literally converted into an amphitheatre, holding the elite of the rank and fashion of the metropolis, and St. Paul's Church..yaid itself being filled along the line of the pro cession. with scaffolding containing the amds of the various City Companies, the hell of the Cathedral pour ing out a stream of melodious rejocing as it passed. The procession proceeded along Cheapside, the Poultry. . . the Mansion House, to the Royal Exchange. arriving at the west entrance at a quarter past tweltm o'clock, where she was received in state by the whole of the city auth,,ri ties, with th-! Cabinet Ministers and a large number of the leading nobility. Her Majesty, with Prince. Albert, having examined the splendid building throughout, and expres, - ,ed her warm admirations of its proportions and beauty, the address was presented, after which her Majesty and suite partook of a splendid &leaner, and returned to her carriage about half-past two o'clock, and proceeded to the terminus of the Great Western Railway, where a special train was in waitint to convey the Royal pair to 'Windsor. With the exception of a few casualties and trifling enzeutes inseparable from such an immense gathering of people in one locality, the whole proceedings passed off to the perfect satisfaction of all parties. The enthusiastic loyalty manifested towards her Majesty and her Consort throughout the day was never exceeded on the occasion of any Royal visit ; and the Duke of Wellington and Sir lot. Peel were also loudly cheered wherever recognised. Last night was intended to be a night of rejoicing in the City, which was also to be brilliantly illuminated. -----40---- LONDON MARKETS.-MONDAY. MARK-LANE CORN-EXCHANGE. The arrivals of English Wheat up to our market during the past week have been moderately good ; while those of Barley and Oats, collectively, were very extensive. The attendance to-day of both factors and dealers was small, and so little business was transacted that last week's prices were nominally unaltered. On Foreign Wheat, also, the rates were stationary. There was a Large quantity of Barley on sale. Malt, the supply of which was by no means large, Moved off slowly, at late rates. The quantity of Oats offering was large, but we have to report very few sales. Beans, Pease, and Flour were a mere drug, at late prices. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, Ocr. 28. In our market the supply of Beasts was, even for the time of the year, considered very extrusive, the numbers bespoke for last evening exceeding 4,000 head ; but a great deficiency was apparent in its quality. Notwithst , nding the attendance of buyers was very numerous, the Beef trade was extremely heavy. H owever, the primest Scots, &c. sold at prices about equal to these obtsined on this day se'nnight ; but those of the middling and inferior breeds suffered a decline of quite 2d, per 81b., and a clearance was not effected. GRAND CONCERTS AT TtlE 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 Signors F. Lablache, Camillo Sivori, the celebrated violinist, and only pupil of Paganini, Piatti, an nrivalled 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 inadequately filled, considering the amount of talent provided, a circumstance 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 cf 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 qulities as shewn in the present occasion. Signor F. Lablache 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 scena from " Somnambula" on the second evening he appeared to us too touch impressed with tl2e difficulty of his position to put forth his usual powers, and was occasionally out of tune. 111r.Reeves has a 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 poitions of the two evenings' concerts were certainly the instrumental per formances of Dopier, Camillo Sivori, and Piatti, es pecially the latter. A more wonderful command titan that of Piatti over an instrument, so unwieldy as the violincello, has certainly never been attained. Passages of music, tones and effects which are considered difficult to violin players of high excellence, aspear to him perfectly easy ; and the precision of his stopping is quite remark able. His " Grand concertante duet" with Dobler, from " Lucretia Borgia," was the most masterly and beautiful thing we ever listened to in a concert room, a , •d dese. verily drew down continued and enthusiastic applauses from the audience, of which, however, in justice to Ilerr Dopler, we are bound to say that that great master of his instru ment was entitled to his full half. Dopler 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 beet, amply discussed in this town, W e can i m agine, however, an increased power of execu tion and a finer q ualit y of tone in his playing than when we last heard him. His " Andanee and Carnival of Ve nice" brought the great magician Paganini so strikingly to memory, that we had hut to close our eyes to the stage an d 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 Iris " 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. Tile Earl of Harrowby returned to Sanelon-ball, Staffordshire, fr ma Harrogate, in gn.at;y improved h-alth. Viicount and Lady Frances Sandon and larnily 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 Messrs. Sturge, that the firm intended in future to decline the sale of malting barley !—Ten. Towns Messenger. CHRIST CHURCH SCHOOLS.—On Sunday, October 27th, two serm, ns 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 11th of October, the American trader, Llan Romney, Cavtain Simpson, of Hull, being on her way home from St. John's. New Brunswick, was struck on the larboard quarter by a tremendous sea, which washed the cavtain and the cook to the further end of the ship with such violence as to cause their deaths shortly afterwards. JUVENILE DELINQUENCY.—Yesterday, tee, boys, one about 15 years of age, and the other only nine, ware charged with stealing several handkerchiefs from a shop in St. 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 pettish such a child, as he was evidently an instrument in the hands of bigzer boys. INRUESTS BEFORE MR. STATHAM, DEYUTY Bo- ROUGH CORONER.—On Saturday, on view of the body of Daniel Harrison, a working man, aged 52, which was found on Friday, fleeting in the Queen's Dock. He had been missed about a fortnight, one was rather addicted to drinking. Verdict, " found drowned." Same day, on the body of Alfred Fitzpatrick, a child of three years old. who was left a stein time in a kitchen by himself, on Salt ney.:street, on Thursday last, when his eiothes caught fire, and he was so much burned that, notwithstanding surgical attendance, he died on the following day.
