Etteraturr. SELECTIONS. JOURNALISM.—A newspaper is the only instrument which can drop the same thought into a thousand minds at the same moment.—De Tocouerville. POOR CREATURE !—We haie often heard the Sister Isle called " Poor Old Ireland." Poor Ireland, it seems, is so very old, that she has now lost the use of her mem bers.—Punch. INSANITY.—The courtier who ruins his fortune for the attainment of a ti tle w hich can do him no good, or of the power of which he can make no suitable nor creditable use—the miser who hoards his useless wealth, and the prodigal who squanders it, are all marked with a certain shade of in sanity. To criminals who are guilty of enormities when the temptation to a sober mind bears no proportion to the horror of the act, or the probability of detection and punishment, the same observation applies ; and all vio lent passions, as well as anger, may be termed a short madness.—Sir Walter Scott. TARNATION FIX —America, it is reported, is de sirous of getting the Oregon question by the simple and pacific process of tossing up, and is only, we and rstand, prevented from making a proposition to the British Go vernment to that effect by the fear of having to borrow a dollar for the purpose.—Punch. THE WINDOW Tax.—To Sir Francis Dashwood, wbo was Chancellor of the Exchequer about 1762, we owe the origin of the window-tax, at least in its present shape. Before that period, a house-tax existed ; the manner of reckoning it was then changed, and its amount based upon the number of wi n d ows con t a i ne d i n eac h dwelling. Dashwood was a poor, weak creature, a nominee of Lord Bute's : Wilkes fell foul of him in the " North Briton," and Churchill lashed him in one of his vigorous satires. It is recorded, that after his window duty feat, the chil dren in the street—no doubt incited and urged on by their seniors—called after him as he passed along, "There goes the worst Chancellor of the Exchequer England has ever known." The asseveration might have been bold, but there was not more boldness in it than truth.—Jerrold's Magazine. To REMOVE WHITEWASH OR PAINT FROM STONE AND WOOD.—This may be most easily done by scraping away the outer surface, and then moistening the part by means of a brush with a mixture composed of one part of sulphuric acid (oil of vitriol) and eight or ten of water, and washing it over with water after every second or third time you put it on, till you see the stone or wood appear. If, however, you wish to remove the whitewash from the remains of a painting on a wall, use soft soap with hot water, and a brush not too hard. This, done carefully, will not hurt the painting. Paint is harder to get rid of ; it may, however, be effectually done with strong soap makers' lye, or what is quite as good, the following liquid : Rut one pound of pot-ash or pearl-asb, with half a pound of unslacked lime, into a jar, and pour over it one gallon of boiling-hot rain -water; wash this repeatedly over the surface, scrubbing off the paint as it becomes softened. — The Builder. FRIENDSHIP OF CHESS-PLAYERS.—Nothing but a chess-player can appreci a t e th e strong ti e o f b rot h er h oo d which links its amateurs. When men spend much time together, they become accustomed to each other, like horses used to run in the same coach. For a fellow chess-player a man will do that which he would refuse his father and mother. The habit of breathing the same air and looking at the same chess-board creates a friendship to which that of Damon and Pythias was mere " How d'ye do ?" This it was upon which I reckoned. Schmidt and I had played thousands of chess-games together, and barely exchanged three words. He no more suspected me of being a banker's clerk than of being the King of the Sandwich Islands. We had mostly singled out each other as antagonists, because pretty nearly matched ; and Schmidt loved me the more, as I knew, because it was not every man who would play with him.—Fraser's Magazine. LITTLE STORIES FOR GREAT lIIIMBUGS.—There Was a Big Bad Boy whose Name was DAN, and he used to Cry Out for all Sorts of Things which it was not Right for him to Have. One Day he would have This Thing, and the next Day he would have That, but he would not Keep Still, Give Him what you Would. At last he would Cry Out and Make a Great Noise for the Moon [Repeal], which he Said was His, but his Nurse PEEL said be Should Not Have it, for it Would do Him no Good if he Got it. But his Nurse, who would have been Glad to Keep Him Still, gave Him a large Slice of what was Sweet and Good, in the Hope that it Would Stop DAN'S Mouth. But DAN Would Call Out Still for the Moon; He would Have That, and not One Thing else would do for Him. Oh, what a Bad Big Boy was this DAN ! How shall we Serve Him, to Make Him Good? I Think we Must Whip Him if he will Go on so, for we Must not Let Him Make such a Noise, and Call Out for the Moon, which is quite Out of his Reach.—Punch. THE EARL OF CHESTERFIELD IN IRELAND.—CheS terfield, regarded as a fop in England, was a daring, steady, and subtle governor of the unruly spirits of Ire land, in one of the most hazardous periods. That the throne of the Brunswicks did not see an Irish revolt at the moment when it saw a Scottish invasion, was the ser vice of Chesterfield. But he ruled not by his wisdom, but by his wit. He broke down factions by bon-mots ; he extinguished conspiracy by passing compliments ; he administered the sternest law with the most polished smile ; and cut down rebellion by quotations from La Fontaine and catembourge from Scarron. But with these fortunate pleasantries he combined public and solid ser vices. He threw a large portion of the crown lands in the neighbourhood of the capital into a park for the re ception of the citizens, and thus gave one of the earliest and most munificent examples of regard for the health and enjoyment of the people. A more enduring monument of his statesmanship could not have been offered to the gra titude of the country.—Blackwood's Magazine. LULLY, THE FRENCH MUSICIAN.—A strange story is extant relating to the closing scene of Lully's life. His confessor prescribed to him, as the condition of his abso lution, that he should commit to flames his last opera. Lully, after many excuses. at length acquiesced, and, pointing to a drawer in which the rough draft of " Achille et Polixene" was deposited, it was taken out and burnt, and the confessor went away satisfied. Lully grew better, and was thought out of danger, when one of the young princes came to visit him. "What, Baptiste," says he to him, " have you thrown your opera into the fire ? You were a fool for thus giving credit to a gloomy Jansenist, and burning good music." " Hus , hush!' , answered Lully in a whisper •, " I knew well what I was about : I have another copy of it." Unhappily this ill-timed plea santry was followed by a relapse, and the prospect of in evitable death threw him into an agony of remorse, so that he submitted to be laid on a heap of ashes, with a cord round his neck, and in this situation he expressed a deep sense of his late transgression. On being replaced in his bed he became more composed, and be expired singing to one of his own airs the emphatic words, "II faut mourir, pecheur, faut mourir "—" Y ou must di e, sinner, you must die."—The Violin. SORROWS OF AUTHORS.—Many an immortal work, that is a source of exquisite enjoyment to mankind, has been written with the blood of the author, at the expense of his happiness and of his life. Even the most jocose productions have been composed with a wounded spirit. Cowper's humorous ballad of Gilpin was written in a state of despondency that bordered upon madness. " I wonder," says the poet, in a letter to Mr. Newton, " that a sportive thought should ever knock at the door of my intellects, and still more that it should gain admittance. It is as if harlequin should intrude himself into the gloomy chamber where a corpse is deposited in state." In a late number of the Quarterly Review, it was justly observed, that " our very greatest wits have not been men of a gay and vivacious disposition. Of Butler's private history no thing remains but the record of his miseries, and Swift was never known to smile." Lord Byron, who was irri table and unhappy, wrote some of the most amusing stan zas of Don Juan in his dreariest moods. In fact, the cheerfulness of an author's style is always but a doubtful indication of the serenity of his heart.—Richardson's Li terary Leaves. A SPY IN THE PALACE.—When the writer suggested the possibility of getting a distant interior view of Her Majesty's Palace at Pimlico, by means of the new light he was really not aware that the deed had been done, — but it has. The following revelation is enough to " fright the isle from her propriety ;" its circumstantiality is per fectly astounding. On the 13th of July, Mr. Dann, " put E. W. to sleep again," and directed him to go to Westminster. Reaching the Bird-cage Walk, E. W. said, " This is a very pretty place—l don't want to be hurried on. I can see yonder some iron gates; is that Buckingham Palace, the place you want me to go to ?' I said yes; when he paused, and said, ' I don't like to go In here, for there are soldiers walking to and fro—such tall men—l don't like to p ass them . I told him they would not touch him, when he presently said, • I have passed those tall soldiers, and got to the steps, but I don't want to go inside.' By persuasion he enters, and exclaims, How Grand ! this is not a fit place for me ." I per suaded him to stay and look about him, when he soon finds a large room, and said, • What a grand place this is ! I can count fourteen gentlemen and ladies round a table, and one man appears to be older than the rest ; he has a long visage, and is dressed like a soldier. There are some ladies, and one of them appears younger than the others ; and that young lady has a watch at her side, on the out side of her clothes ; the face is turned inwards ; it is six minutes past ten by it. I will now look at that gentle man's; it is in his waistcoat pocket; it is four minutes and a half past ten by this watch. But I don't like to be here, it is so fine a place ; would rather be outside ; I only came in here because you wanted me to do so.' " On the ensuing day E. W. again perambulated the palace. "At my request," says his editor, "he looked into several rooms, and says, Here is that young lady I saw before, and the young gentleman too ; they are now in a room by themselves, but it is only a small room ; hut there are many people on tile outside.' " No doubt Mr. Wisenden felt that the Queen's boudoir 95 " not a fit place" for him ; for, apparently without interrupting the royal ate-a-tete, he passed thence into the gardens. Here, however, he manifested somethi ng very much like a want in following her Majesty everywhere as closely as her shadow. Assuredly, this feat is m ore ca l cu l ated to agitate even the strong mind than anything that has ever been achieved,—except the . hlowing u p o f J o h n o ' Gaunt, off Brighton, by Captain Warner. And, cum aliis, it is suggestive of many interesting questions. What are the laws and limits of a clairvoyant's sensibilities ? He delights in a garden,—can he relish a . remote jelly ? H e buttons up his coat in a cold tunnel,—is he proof against a pistol ball? He does what Falstaff refused to do, he acts, " upon compulsion,"—why is he thus abject? But for the present we must repose upon the facts of the case, and exercise patience. Our grandsires all were believers in the ve r it a bl e ex i s t ence o f Ob e ron and Martha, Robin Goodfellow and Pigwiggin, Tib and Fib, and "the crew that never rest ;" and who will now dare to write FOOL on his grandfather's grave on account of his creed ?—The Mesmerist. LORD J. RUSSELL'S TESTIMONY IN FAVOR OF SCRIP TURAL EDUCATION.—At the last meeting of the British and Foreign School Society, Lord J. Russell spoke as follows—" As to the manner in which education should be conducted, the society, from the commencement, de clared that they found no solid, no indestructible basis for education, but instruction in the Holy Scriptures. They have therefore instructed the children in the holy Scriptures without addition of creed or c,techism ; and I must say there is nothing which experience has taught, or further reflection has led me to consider, which has not confirmed in my opinion the soundness of the original decision of the soclety.—(Cheers.) If we look to our own Church we find it declared in the. Articles that noth ing more is required in point of faith than what is to be ' read in the holy Scriptures and what can be proved thereby,' and on that foundation I think all the Protest ants of this kingdom are agreed.—(Cheers.) They are all agreed to teach the holy Scriptures, and that what is not to be found in the Scriptures and can't be proved thereby, is not necessary for faith. Our diversities are many, and some of them important, but with respect to the leading point of all, we of this kingdom are agreed. And, therefore, though you may wish to have schools, in the words of my lamented friend William Allen ' for all,' you can have no solid foundation for those schools except instruction in the word of God—the holy Scriptures." Very good. This is what we have been contending for, my Lord, but what we find it so hard to press on your lordship, your colleagues or your opponents in the House of Commons. When the Protestants of Ireland ask you to give them the benefit of your own admissions and de clarations, they are turned rudely and roughly from your door. Now, why is I his if the foregoing words are a correct representation of your thoughts ? BRIEF LIFE OF THE " ITALIAN BOYS."—The follow ing affecting passage occurs in the recently-published " address" of a society formed for the protection and education of these wanderers :—" Of the poor Italian boys who have scrlong enlivened our streets with almost the only music which could be bad out of the concert or drawing room, hundreds are the victims of a set of men who periodically visit Italy, and convert the face of that lovely land into a slave-market, selecting chiefly from the mountains the little creatures whom we see daily around us, making an agreement with the parents to house, feed, and clothe them for a term of years, and at the end of that time to set them free with a certain sum—seldom or never paid. The boys arrive here, and then what is their con dition ? Day after day, early and late, in the hottest time of summer, in the stormiest and most inclement of winter, are these poor fellows forced to drag along their heavy organs from street to street; they have to live as they best can on the casual charity of passers-by ; they are ex pected to bring home a certain sum daily; and also fre quently towards nightfall—not daring to meet their mas ters without the stipulated amount—they may be seen begging piteously. Their clothes are filthy rags ; their lodging is of the most miserable description. They are huddled together in one of the most unhealthy, the most crowded, the lowest localities of London, in small, ill ventilated rooms, many in a room, worse housed than animals, badly as slaves ever were. From being so many hours a day under the weight of a heavy organ, (to say nothing of their long exposure, ill-clad and ill-fed, to our fickle climate,) they contract fearful disorders, such as hernia, varicose veins, diseases of the spine, &c. ; and it has been calculated by a medical man, one of their own countrymen, that the average duration of time during which they continue such occupation is about eight years, by which time their constitutions are utterly broken down." "We know," says a public journal, commenting upon this passage, " of but one cure for this species of importation, and that is, a universal public agreement never to give these beggars any money to carry to their masters. Let them at once learn that the trade is unpro fitable, and it will assuredly cease. PRINCE ALBERT'S COLLEGE LIFE.—It was on the 3d of May, 1837, that Prince Albert was matriculated at the University of Bonn as a student of jurisprudence. He was then in his 18th year. The Prince and his brother resided in the house of Dr. Bischof, on a piece of open ground near the cathedral. The two princes had been confided to the care of a tutor, Herr Forschutz, a man of great learning and high moral integrity, now one of the ministers at Coburg. Among their other attendants was a German nobleman, who acted as chief officer of the household. There were fifteen attendants in all, includ ing domestics. Their style of living was in ordinary re markable for its plainness. Occasionally, however, they gave sumptuous entertainments to thirty or forty of their fellow-students, selected entirely for their personal worth and talents. The early rising of Prince Albert, which at first surprised the English, is but a reminiscence of col lege life. At Bonn, his Royal Highness was P distinonished from all the students of the s ame ran k by his rising at half-past five or six every morning. From that till seven in the evening he was at his studies, allowing an interval of three hours for dinner and recreation. After seven he was accustomed to pay visits ; he did this in a graceful and unostentatious manner. Jurisprudence and history were the chief subjects of Prince Albert's attention. The more graceful studies of music and painting alternated with these graver subjects. As a musician, Prince Albert is very generally known. And it is said that her Majesty is proud of a portrait of a " Savoyard Minstrel Boy," which the Prince painted at Bonn. During the three academical seasons spent at Bonn, his Royal Highness ma nifested the same love for field sports and manly exercises which distinguishes him now. Close to the house where he resided lived Peter Staun, a rich hotel-keeper, who constantly attended him in his shooting excursions. Peter hsd a handsome preserve of his own, to which the Prince frequently repaired, followed by Peter, who to this day speaks of those excursions with the fondest pride, and the tears come into his eyes as he gives utterance to his heart felt praises of the good-natured Prince Albert. The pri vate charities of the Prince were unbounded. His nume rous acts of kindness and beneficence derived an addi tional charm from the quiet grace with which they were performed. The Prince left the University in 1838. His marriage with our Queen was solemnized on the 10th of February, 1840. THE ROAD TO THE OREGON TERRITORY.—Though several parties have penetrated into the Oregon territory from the United States through the gorges and over the towering heights of the Rocky Mountains, yet it may be safely asserted, from the concurrent testimony of traders, trappers, and settlers, who have themselves passed these natural barriers, that the difficulties are so numerous and formidable, and the time necessary for the passage so long, that there is no secure, expeditious, or commodious tract which can ever be used as a highway, so as to afford facilities for an influx of emigrants overland. Several routes have been tried of late, and each differs only from the other in the privations which the passengers undergo. None but the wild and fearless free trappers can clamber over these precipices and tread these deserts with security, and even these are quitting them as haunts, and now us ing them only as unavoidable tracks. It is true there have been published more favourable accounts, within the last year or two, by parties who have made the jour ney safely, and who encourage others to make a similar experiment. But these accounts are in such a spirit of bravado, and accompanied with expressions of thankful ness by the parties for their own success, that they are indirect proofs of the difficulty and danger of the under taking, and of the utter hopelessness of such a route for general purposes. For hundreds of miles the several tracks present nothing but frightful barrenness under foot, and overhead scorching beat or piercing cold. The country even west of the Rocky Mountains is broken with towering cliffs, deep ravines, and sunken streams, from which the traveller cannot draw a drop to allay his burning thirst ; and the soil is either sandy, in which he sinks at every step, or of a black, rugged stone, which tears his feet. The travellers have been obliged to feed on the lean carcases of their animals, which have died from hunger, thirst, or fatigue. Farnham says that they were obliged at last to kill their universal favourite and pet—their dog, and economise his flesh. He further says, that during eight days' journey, and he bad proceeded with the expedition of one travelling for life, he had not met with a single acre of land capable of producing grain or vegetables. Another American traveller, Townsend, says, " Our only food was dried crumbling meat, which we carried, and chewed like biscuits as we travelled. There are two reasons by which the extreme thirst which the wayfarer suffers in these regions may be accounted for : first, the intense heat of the sun upon the open and ex posed plains ; and, secondly, the desiccation to which every thing here is subject. The ai• feels like the breath of a sirocco, the tongue becomes parched and horny, and the eyes, mouth, and nose, are incessantly assailed by the fine, pulverised lava which rises from the ground with the least breath of air. Bullets, pebbles chalcedony, and pieces of smooth obsidian, were in great requisition ; al most every man was mumbling some of these substances in an endeavour to assuage his burning thirst." The lead bullets and the other substances which they chewed were for the purpose of producing spittle, which they would swallow to prevent inflamation and death.—Dunn's His tory of the Oregon Territory.

TATTERSALL'S.—THURSDAY. So much time was occupied in comparing books, that betting until late in the afternoon was almost at a stand still, and when it did commence, so fitful was it, so small the investments, and so great the crowd, that we had some difficulty in drawing up a list of market prices. Except in Pam, who was sent to the right-about by a bet of 1000 to 20, no material change presented itself in the first-class fa vourites for the Derby ; we should state, however, that the Libel opened at 18 to 1. and was in very slight estimation until six o'clock ; a rush was then made to back him, and at the closing of the doors he had regained the position as signed him on Monday. An improvement in Jinglepot and the reappearance of Kedger were the only movements in the outside division. The Oaks doings were confined to Lady Wildair, Lancashire Witch, and Glee, whose backers were numerous and fond." The following quo tations are made up to 7 o'clock : DERBY. 7 to 2 agst John Day's lot (taken). 8 1 Forth's lot. 9 4 Lord Stradbroke's Idas. 6 1 Mr. Greville's Alarm. 7 1 Mr. Gully's Weatherbit (taken). 14 1 Mr. A. W. Hill's The Libel (taken). 18 1 Mr. Mostyn's Pantasa (taken). 20 1 Mr. Gratwicke's Doleful. 30 1 Mr. Gully's Old England. 40 1 Mr. Waller's Columbus (taken.) 40 1 Mr. Wyatt's Sister to Laundress colt. 40 1 Col. Anson's Kedger. 40 1 Colonel Cradock's Jinglepot. 40 1 Mr. St. Paul's Mentor 50 1 Mr. Ferguson's Clear-the-way. 50 1 Mr. Ford's Fuzbos (taken). 50 1 Mr. Gratwicke's The Merry Monarch. 1000 —l5 Mr. Gratwicke's Titmouse. 100 1 Mr. Coleman's Young Eclipse 200 1 Col. Peel's Cobweb colt. OAKS. 5 1 Lord Chesterfield's Lady Vtrildair. 6 1 Mr. Worthington's Lancashire Witch. 9 1 Mr. Gulley's Maid of Orleans. 11 1 Mr. liogers's Glee (taken). TATTERSALL'S.—FRIDAY. Although only a by-day, the room was well attended, and some reasonably brisk business transacted on a few of the Derby favourites. Idas was backed for several hun dred pounds at 5 to 2, and Alarm for nearly a thousand at 6 to 1, the layers having the pull in the first instance, and the backers in the other. Weatherbit was in demand .at 8 to 1, and Winchester at 1000 to 12 and 15, and the lot (J. Day's) at 4 to 1 ; the investments on the whole not heavy. Takers of 12 to 1 about The Libel, of 20 to 1 about Doleful, and of 30 to 1 about Mentor, and of 40 to 1 each about Kedger, Pam, the Merry Monarch, and Jin glepot Offers to take 1000 to 15 about the Cobweb colt. Nothing of consequence done on the Oaks. IRONMASTER DISQUALIFIED. The adjourned meeting on this case took place on Wednes day afternoon, and ended in a disqualification. The fol lowing is the decision of the Duke of Beaufort and the Marquis of Normanby " It having been established by the evidence of the pre sent Mr. Francis Marshall that the nominations of Iron master for the Derby and St. Leger, though in his hand writing, were written by him as the amanuensis of his fa ther, the late Francis Marshall, whom he never knew to write a letter himself, and were intended by both parties to be the nominations of the father, we are of opinion that they can only be considered the nominations of Mr. Mar shall, sen., and are void by his death, according to the law and practice of the turf. BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—FRIDAY EVENING. During the week a very prominent feature in the pro ceedings has been comparing books upon the ne plus ultra of English turf events. The absence of many influentials, who have taken wing for the South, causes rather a som bre market. We give the prices of the horses in force for THE DERBY—(ro-morrOW.) 9 to 4 agst Idas (offered) 64 1 Alarm. - 1 - Weatherbit. 16 1 Libel. 18 1 Doleful. 20 1 Pantasa. 27 1 Clear-the-Way. 33 1 ad England. 40 1 Mentor. 40 1 Annandale. Our humble opinion is, that, if well, and at the post, Old England or Alarm will win ; being like many others at sea, we may have to sing out for a life-boat or two, id eat Doleful or The Libel.

THIS Railway is projected t o con ti nue th e Li ne o f communication from the Terminus of the proposed Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction Railway at Amber Gate to Nottingham ; which by a Junction at Nottingham with one of the proposed Eastern Lines will complete the nearest and most direct route from Nottingham and the Eastern Counties to Manches ter, Liverpool, and Holyhead, and by a junction with the Midlands Railway, in the Parish of Sawley, by the Ere wash Valley, the nearest route from Lancashire and Yorkshire to the south. The Town and Environs of Nottingham contain a po pulation of upwards of 100,000 persons, extensively em ployed in the Cotton, Silk, and Lace Manufacture, and this Line, by its connexion with the proposed Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction Railway, will reduce the distance upwards of seventy miles from that important district to Manchester and Liverpool, as com pared with existing routes ; and the same advantage will also be derived by the Towns of Leicester and Lough borough. Independently of the great traffic which, as part of the main trunk line from the Agricultural Districts of Not tinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk, to the Manufacturing Districts of Lancashire and Cheshire, it will pass through a very populous, manufacturing, and rich Mineral District, the local traffic from which will alone return a fair remuneration for the capital invested. It will also pass through the extensive Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Coal-field ; and by its junction with the Midlands Railway, at Amber Gate, and its contiguity to the Limestone and Gritstone Quarries of Derbyshire afford an unlimited quantity of Coal, Lime, and building Stone to a large district at present only partially and expensively supplied with those important products. In addition to the income to be thus derived from the local, mineral, and Passenger Traffic, a large revenue will accrue from the Line, considerably cheapening the transit of Cattle, Corn, and other produce of the Eastern Agri cultural Counties, and also of Cotton, Silk, and other raw materials, now brought by a circuitous dilatory and ex pensive route, from Liverpool and Manchester, to be used in the staple trades of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Leicestershire, and the transmission of valuable manu factured goods to Liverpool for exportation. The Railway will provide an easy and cheap access from Nottingham and the Eastern part of England to Matlock, Buxton, Bakewell, Chatsworth, and Haddon, and the romantic scenery of the Peak, and by opening objects so rich in their attraction, will beyond doubt command a large proportion of that pleasure travelling by which ex isting Lines have so much benefitted. The Proprietors of the Canals in the district through which the line will traverse, it is confidently believed, will amalgamate their interests upon such equitable terms as will prove advantageous to the Shareholders in this Com pany. A: preliminary survey of the Country has been made, and it has been ascertained that the gradients are remark ably good, and the cost of construction not expensive. Prospectuses, with forms of application, may be ob tained from Mr. SPENCER, Nottingham ; Mr. PEET, Nottingham ; Messrs. EARP and Sox, Derby ; Mr. ETRE, Derby ; Messrs.

Charles Vignoles, Esq., F:R.A.S., M.R.LA. ACTING ENGINEER. Mr. John Watson, C.E. SOLICITORS. Messrs. Robinson and Hulton, Blackburn. THE object of the promoter s of thi s R a il way i s t o con nect, by the most easy and direct, and the least ex pensive route, the large manufacturing towns of Man chester, Bolton, and Blackburn, with the North of Eng land and Scotland, and at the same time to afford to the Inhabitants of the district traversed by the line the utmost possible facilities for obtaining Cotton, Dyewoods, Provi sions, &c., from the ports of Liverpool, Preston, and Fleetwood, and Coal, Flags, Slate, &c., from the exten sive mines and quarries of Lancashire, and in return transmitting their Fat Cattle and Live Stock, their ma nufactured and Printed Goods, and also Lime—a com modity which abounds in the district, and is constantly required in large quantities for bleaching, building, and agricultural purposes, but can at present only be obtained at a charge altogether disproportioned to the original cost, owing to the heavy expense of the ordinary mode of con veyance by carts. This Railway is intended to form a continuation of the Lines of the Blackburn, Darwen, and Bolton, and the Blackburn and Preston Railways, from their joint Station in Blackburn, and to pass through Billington, and near the Village of Whalley, to a convenient Station at the North side of Clitheroe, from whence it will follow the Valley of the Ribble, or its tributary Streams, to such point of Junction with the North Western Railway, near Long Preston, or Settle, and by such route as shall, upon the most minute examination of the country, and on the fullest consideration of all the circumstances, be found the cheapest and the best adapted for the purpose. Surveys and Sections have been taken of the entire Line. The length will be about twenty-five miles. of which the portion from Blackburn to Clitheroe will be ten. It has been determined to fix the Capital at £450,000, which sum, it is belie ve d, w ill b e more th an sufficient to complet e the object intended. The Traffic which may be expected to pass over the proposed line will be derived from sources sufficiently ob vious to all acquainted with the district to be pervaded and opened, but it is impossible in the present stage to enter into details, or precisely estimate the extent. The pro jectors, however, are already in possession of sufficient data to justify them in coming to the conclusion that a return of 6 per cent. on the capital will be obtained by the shareholders. It would not indeed be difficult to prove from the resources of the country, that a larger rate of interest might reasonably be expected, but it has been thought proper not to put before the public any other than moderate statements on this head, from a conviction that the merits of the undertaking are of that substantial and self-evident character as to render it unnecessary to re sort to speculative representations, with a view to obtain public countenance and snpport. The promoters of thi s Railway deemed it advisable to delay the publication of their Prospectus until the Bill for making the Railway from Blackburn, through Darwen, to Bolton, (with which it is proposed to be connected as above stated,) had made such progress in parliament as to leave no doubt of its receiving the sanction of the legis lature. The Committee of the House of Commons, to whom that bill has been referred, having reported in its favour, and the Directors having already taken measures for proceeding immediately with the construction of their line, it is presumed that the proper time has now arrived for bringing this ulterior project before the public. The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted by Act of Parliament to the amount of bis Subscription, and it is proposed t o a ll ow i nteres t on th e paid-up capital.' Applications for Shares are requested to be made in the annexed form, and to be transmitted to the Solicitors. The Committee of Directors of the • Blackburn, Dar. wen, and Bolton Railway.

AS SUPPLIED TO THE ROYAL TABLE. fIAPTAIN PIDDING'S HOWQUA'S MIXTURE V TEA is an admixture of 40 rare Black Teas, produced on as many different plantations, each Tea differing from the rest, and possessing a flavour, a fragrance, or strength, peculiar to itself. Blended together in the proper pro portions, they comprise all that is desirable in Tea. This discovery was not the effect of chance, but of many great advantages united in one individual, and the result of numerous experiments and the. most minute analysis. For another to produce the same" result, he must possess equal skill, the same discriminating taste, equal power of procuring the forty various Teas required, and kno w th e exact proportions of each kind used—and though he may never once have visited China, he must have had equal opportunities of securing to himself, its productions : with one who, like Captain Pidding, has spent years there in acquiring these advantages, and to whom alone How qua—years before his death—imparted at Canton, the secret of compounding his Mixture. Yet there are upwards of 500 retailers pretending to sell tea, they call " Howqua's Mixture"—each mixture dif fering from all the others. Now as there can be but ONE REAL " Howqua's Mixture," it follows that, as 500 dif ferent medleys are offered-499 must be spurious. The 499 counterfeits are so many evidences of the superiority of the ONE GENUINE. And it would be absurd to suppose that Captain Pidding, with advantages, the result of Eight Voyages made to China, and five years spent in that country, would be so silly —even were it possible —as to yield them up to 500 others, or impart to them so valuable a secret. The very great celebrity this Tea has acquired, having tempted many unprincipled persons to give similar, or nearly similar titles to their own spurious mixtures, to guard against such imposition, purchasers should observe that " THE SIGNATURE THUS," Captain JOHN RHODES PIDDING. Honourable Company's Service, is on every genuine Package. To those who drink Green Tea. " Captain Pidding's Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder," grown only on one estate, is recommended for it- strength and economy, and as being the purest and most wholesome Green Tea im ported from China.
