GEORGE ROBINS i s i ns t ruc t e d / t o SELL b y 11l PUBLIC AUCTION, at the Commercial-rooms, in the City of Bristol, on Thursday, May 21,And two following days, at Eleven for Twelve o'clock punOttially, A GENUINE SALIVOF EXCEEDINGLY FINE WINES, highly important to all those who are amateurs of Port in its pure unsophisticated state. By this fortunate circumstance the public, and more especially those who patronise the growth of the Alto Douro, will have the power to replenish their cellars with wine of the most rare and estimable quality ; it is an especial case, and one quite unlikely ever to occur again. As this sale of bottled wine exceeds in quantity any by gone auction, it may be well to give a succinct statement of the cause by which it is intended the public will be so much benefitted. The house of John Wintle and Co., of Glou cester, having declined business, and being in a state of in dependence, they have commissioned Mr. Robins to make an experiment similar to the never-to-be-forgotton one at Li verpool of Mr. Knowles—a reminiscence arising out of that event will not be out of place. The reader may remember that in the year 1832 Mr. Ro bins was honoured by having been selected by that eminent house to sell Six Thousand Dozen of bottled Wines, which had been deposited in bond under the surveillance of the Customs. The result of this sale has inclined the respect able clients whose cause it is his present duty to advocate, to follow in this judicious track. The finest vintage that high reputation and ready money could accomplish was pro cured, and cargoes of bottles dispatched to Oporto. The consequence of this great mercantile operation will speedily be put to the test, inasmuch as the sale is to be free from any protecting price. It is in the original cases as imported, and has been about 18 months under the vigilant inspection of THE REVENUE OFFICERS, In a large vault of fine temperature, under QUEEN SQUARE HALL,: IN BRISTOL. It is essential to observe that this EXTRAORDINARY FINE BATCH OF PORT WINE is from the favourite vineyards of Geo. Sandeman and Co., and was deposited a considerable period at their \Vine Lodge, in Oporto. It was observed, when its departure was first announced, that it was one of the finest shipments that had left the Douro. The total quantity exceeds EIGHT THOUSAND DOZENS. Firstly, and of one quality, there are FIFTEEN HUNDRED CASES, of three dozen each. This wine is delicate and high flavoured. Also, ELEVEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTY CASES, of three dozen each, the flavour very fruity. The sale com prehends an aggregate quantity far exceeding any previous auction. Near 100,000 BOTTLES OF FINE OLD PORT, continued in the original packages of three dozens each, as bottled in Oporto, and to which Mr. Robins earnestly en treats the attention of the public, and more especially those who appreciate fine old port ; and he would add, they are not a little indebted to his spirited clients for having established (after great exertion and perseverance) the admission of wine bottled in a foreign country, in British bottles, to entry and use for home consumption, upon the payment of the duty upon the wine only. The week previous to the auction will be set apart at the vault in Queen-square to afford all those who shall be so in clined to taste gratuitously, and admire at their leisure, this, the largest and finest stock of bottled port in England. A sample case of the Wine, containing three dozen, will be sent to any part of England, to be charged at the average price of the sale. The Catalogues will be ready seven days antecedently.; to be then had at the Waterloo Hotel, Liverpool; the Man chester Times; the York Herald Office, York; the Leeds Times, Leeds ; the Bush, Bristol ; 'White Hart, Bath ; King's Head, Gloucester ; Cheltenham Chronicle Office, Cheltenham ; Mr. Hobbs, Auctioneer, Worcester ; the Bir mingham Advertiser; the New London Hotel, Exeter ; the Hereford Journal ; the Welslunan, at Carmarthen ; White Hart.

GRIMSTONE'S CELEBRATED EYE SNUFF, Under the patronage of his late Majesty, her Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent, and the Lords of the Treasury) IS universally recommen d e d b y th e F acu lty f or it s e ffi cacy -I- in removing Disorders incident to the Eyes and Head. aft It will prevent Di seases o f a Scr tous Nature affecting the Nerves of the Head.

It may be taken I frequently as other Snuffs, with the most perfect safety and gratification to the consumer. Wash the eyes every morning with warm milk and water, to remove whatever secretion may have been produced during the night. Dr. ABERNETHY used it, and termed it the Faculty's Friend and Nukse's Vade Mecum. Dr. ANDREWS also recommends its use as a preventive. (See his report when in Sunderland, published in the Times, Cheltenham Journal, and British Traveller, in Nov. 1831.) He says, " the herbaceous quality of the snuff had such effect on the stomach,' as well as the nerves of the head, from the tenacious sympathy of the membrane of the nose with the nervous system, that Grimstone's Eye Snuff, when taken frequently, must prevent auy contagion entering the system, and recommends its universal adoption.

But read the following : From the John Bull, 6th May, 1839.—We copy the fol lowing from the Cheltenham Journal, being struck by its re ference to that eminent and successful oculist, James Ware, Esq., F.R.S., whose opinion touching the subject of which he treats will be read with interest. The discovery of Mr. Grimstone is simple, gentle, and certain, and by its unfailing influence on the nervous fabric of the head, possesses the un questionable power of relieving, assisting, and pfolonging the sight even to extreme old age.—Editor. Cheltenham Journal, 22d April, 1839.—" That most emi nent oculist, James Ware, Esq., F.R.S., was so strongly im pressed with the utility of snuff not made of tobacco, that in thopthird volume of the Medical Soc.ety's Works, page 334, this able oculist read several cases of gutta serena cured by the plentiful use of snuff. This snuff was made without the aid of tobacco, that being too great a narcotic to be used as a remedy. The anticipations of this gentlemen have been fully realised by Mr. William Grimstone, the Inventor of Eye Snuff, made from aromatic herbs, so judiciously ar ranged as in almost every case of disease touching the eye, ear, and the delicate organs of the head, to produce a certain cure."—Editor. " There are, perhaps, few articles which are so universally used as snuff, and various and innumerable have been the devices to tickle our noses at the expense of our pockets, but there is only one snuff—albeit many have been attempted— which has proved of any value, or indeed realised the inten tion of the consumers. Grimstone's Eye Snuff is a delightful and fragrant compound, and possesses properties peculiarly its own; for, unlike all other snuffs, it is really of essential and important service to persons of studious habits, and of weak and infirm sight ; and if we may judge by the numerous medical gentlemen who have borne testimony to its merits, and the many well authenticated cures it has performed, it is not undeserving of the high esteem which it has already attained, not only in this but in other countries."—Old Eng land, 11th January, 1840. "We should be glad to see this snuff in general use. It is a safe and powerf u l restorative.—Manchester Chronicle. -- " GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—Notwithstanding the sys tem of puffing which is carried on in this vast metropolis really must claim for Mr. Grimstone the distinction of b a benefactor to his species. We have had ocular demonstra tion of the value of his snuff, which we tried out of curiosity, nif having at the same time a sli g ht affectio opthalmia, which the use of the snuff very speedily re d. W e th ere f ore cordially recommend it to-the public." --r own, Aug. 26,1838. " If any testimony were wanting to prove the efficacy of Grimstone's Eye Snuff, we should be most happy to throw ours into the grand scale of demonstrations and proofs already possessed by,the inventor. Literary men and individuals longaccustomed to sedentary habits or reading, will find this snuff invaluable in keeping off headache, dizziness, &c. &c. —Old Monthly Magazine, September, 1838, p. 336.

I have taken the contents of your 2s. 4d. canisters, and am happy to say my sight has im proved ; the weakness and dimness is removed ; and, sir, it is my wish wish that you make this known for the good of the public. 6, York-place, Kentish Town. Your's, G. SMITH. To Mr. W. Grirnstone, inventor of Eye Snuff, 39, Broad street, Bloomsbury. _ _ March 31, 1838. SIR S I have been afflicted for many years with a severe pain in my head, attended with a dimness of sight and dart ing pains in my eyes, for which I have had the first medical advice ; indeed, I have taken large quantities of medicine, without receiving any relief; but I am now delighted to say, with truth, that ever since using your valuable eye snuff, which 1 have taken copiously, that is, a 2s. 4d. canister weekly, I am quite free from those excruciating pains, and can read the smallest print, although I am in the 65th year of my age. This is my third testimony, and I shall be most happy to give it to you or to any respectable inquirer at my residence as under.—l remain, with gratitude, sir, your obedient humble servant, E. ROBSON. 19, Bell-street, Edgeware-road, Marylebone. 7, Skinner's Almshouses, Mile-end, :fan. 26, 1839. Sir —I think it my incumbent duty to return you my grate ful acknowledgments of the efficacy of your invaluable " eye snuff." You must understand, sir, that I have for the last four or five years suffered much with giddiness in my head and dimness of sight. I naturally concluded (being in my 69th year) that it was the decay of nature, and was advised by a friend, who said much in its favor, and the extraordinary virtues of your celebrated invention, I was induced to give it a trial, and I am happy to say that the great and signal benefit I have derived from the use of four 2s 4d canisters has ena bled me to lay aside my spectacles, has given me great relief in my head, and I feel so thoroughly convinced of its benign virtues, that my gratitude shall ever be evinced in recom mending it to all I may hereafter meet suffering with those afflictions.—l am, sir, your most obliged and grateful servant, To W. Grimstone, Esq. ANN COLE. To W. Grinzstone, Esq. inventor of Elie Snuff, 39, Broad street. Whitehall, March 8, 1838. Mr. Grinistone,—Sir, I think it but justice that I should offer my acknowledgments to you for the great benefit I have derived from tliie use of your most exquisite fragrant com pound, composed of herbs, called Eye Snuff; its action on the membrane of the nose, causing the lachrymal glands to discharge in a manner truly surprising, and by that means to cleanse the cornea that my eyes became healthy, strong, and performed their wonted duties in a manner that 1 have not known the blessing of for six years. The renowned Dr. Guthrie recommended me to try your eye snuff prior to my undergoing an operation. Many thanks to him for his sug gestion, thanks to your invention, that operation will not be necessary. Sir, you have my permission to make this known in any manner you think best. _ _ I am, sir, your obedient servant, J. B. LACIIFIELD.

It was at the former place where the original'projector of this delectable beverage had his abode • no doubt the corporation of that ancient borough evinced their n . d taste, tma marked their approbation of this GREAT DISCO RY, by presenting to him the freedom of the town ; but with that the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say, that this ELIXIR is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the bon vivants of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for their judgment. It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ; and while THE LORDS OF THE CREATION will find it an THE excelle nt GENTLEß SEX addenda to the Dinner Table, may not disdain to sip, the more so as ROYALTY has acknowledged its transcendant merit. It has been intimated that it will prevent SEA SICKNESS, but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the " briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro prietors of PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS take the hint FATui although it may not produce that " con summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate, and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence, improves by age. LE GRAND GOURMAND will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this incomparable Liqueur. " Come and try, Don't like—don't buy," is an old saying and a good one ; and as in matters of taste every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.

DIVIDEND TO THE I RED. 111DEP;SONS insured against Fi r e t o t ex t ent o f £ 3OO and J.L., upwards, whose Policies continued in force afehristmas, 1837, and who had then be en i nsure d T wo Ye ars at least, are hereby informed, that the Fifth Dividend, calculated on the Nett Amount of the Premiums paid by them, from Christmas, 1832, to Christmas, 1837, is now payable at the Company's Office in Exeter, and by the Agents with whom the Insurances are effected, or renewed. • • FIRE INSURANCES continue to be granted on the above plan of admitting the Insured, into a participation of the Surplus at the end of every Fifth Year, from which the Public have already derived considerable returns. LIFE INS ITRANCES.—A Bonus has been declared on Policies, by adding to the Sums Insured, payable at the de . muse of the Life, or _ - ;in- t,tuivalent'reductian of the future Annual Premru — in - g; at the option of the. Insured. This ad vantage, added to the reduced rates of Premiums, renders the ternis of this Company particularly favourable to the In • sured. This Company's business is still increasing, and the esti mation in which the Institution is held, may be inferred from the fact, that, as a Fire Office, it ranks the Seventh in the Kingdom ; and, as a Life Office, the extent of its business is not inferior to that of the first-rate Companies. The Company does not pride itself on account of the large amount of Government Tax levied on the Public, in the shape of Duty on Fire Insurances paid to the Company, but rather refers, with satisfaction, to a measure in which the Insured are beneficially interested—namely, the large return made to them out of the Premiums paid, as the following Statement of Policies, amongst many others, which are now receiving the Bonus attached thereto, in the Liverpool department, will prove:— _ Policy, No. 72,567 „ 106,104 " 101,562 IP 108,800 " 104,888 ~ 109,135 AGENTS IN LIVERPOOL :- - W.

T HE celebrated Cordial BALM of SYRIACUM, or NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE. There is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of the present day, and more particularly in those of the past century, than a general disregard to the maxims of prudence in regard to health and enjoyment. Hence the vast multi tudes who, having acquired the portion of an enfeebled con stitution, are doomed to the clan of habitual in lids. Their minds anxious, unsteady, or sluggish, an their bodies weak, the natural functions of life are discha ed laboriously, with pain and difficulty. For this state of ervous derange ment, the celebrated CORDIAL BALM OF S lACUM will be found to have peculiar efficacy trengthening the lan guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse verance in its use has been the happy means of relieving many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symptoms commonly denominated the NERVOUS. In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, with out interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable. Its primary object is to relieve those persons w h o , b y an immoderate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their constitutions and brought on a perfect labia. dorsalis ; or, in their way to the consummation of that deplorable malady, the affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu larity, weakness, total impotency, barrenness. &c. But the relief the CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM ge nerally administers is not confined to these alone : the" latitudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents die inheritance of a diseased and unprolific frame—the deli cate female, whom an immured and inactive life, together with an immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit,; and are, with out timely assistance, sinking into a premature grave ! Such as these, under Divine Influence, the Cordial Balm of Sv riacam will restore to the enjoyment of all the comforts of Lie. It is universally admired, being pleasant to the taste and smell, gently astringes the fibres of the stomach, and gives that proper tensity which a good digestion requires. To the young it will afford lasting health, strength, and spirits, in place of lassitude and debility, and to the aged and infirm it will assuredly furnish great relief and comfort, by gently and safely invigorating the system. It will not give immortality, but if it be in the power of medicine to gild the autumn of declining years, and calmly and serenely protract the close of life beyond its narrow span, this restorative is capable of effecting this grand desideratum. The Cordial is highly esteemed in the East and West In dies for nourishing and invigorating the nervous system and acting as a general restorative on debilitated constitutions, arising from bilious complaints contracted in hot climates. The studious as well as the sedentary part of the community should never be without the Cordial Balm of Syriacutn, which removes diseases of the head, invigorates the mind, mproves the memory, and enlivens the imagination.

At 22, SLATER-STREET, LIVERPOOL, (Private Entrance First Doo up the Passage.) ONE OF THE BEAUT IES OF THE N ATIONAL SYSTEM.— The following has been communicated to us by a trustworthy Correspondent :—" Not far from the place in which I write, a National Sch oo l i s conveniently located in the neighbour hood of a mixed population of Romon Catholics, Protes tants, and Presbyterians. The Protestant parents, living at a considerable distance from a parish school, naturally enough avail themselves of the nearest National School for their children. The master, being a Roman Catholic, asks a large class of Roman Catholic children—' Can the priest forgive sins?' Yes, Sir,' readily answers the boy to whom the question was put; and the master, patting the boy on the back, encourages the lie. , a nd adds, Yes, he can.' Again, to another child—' Which is the true church ?' 'Th e Holy Roman Catholic Church,' responds the child, and th e master again adds, ' Right, sir.' The above qu es ti ons too k place, and were demanded , in the presence of both Protes tants and Presbyterians. "—Derry Sentinel. DEATH OF SIR RICHARD SPENCER, K.C.H.—The demise of Sir Richard has been officially repotted at the Admiralty as having taken place at King George's Sound, Western Aus tralia, of which settlement he was Governor at the latter end of November last. His commission as Post-Captain bore date 1812. LORD LYN DH DRST.—We are happy to state that his lord ship is rapidly regaining strength. During Wednesday his lordship was well enough to take a drive in Hyde Park, ac companied by Lady Lyndhurst ; and, on Monday next, it is confidently expected that the noble and learned baron will be able to be in his place in the House of Lords. Dr. Ne vinson and Dr. Locock are the physicians who attend his lordship. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, according to present ar rangements, will leave Buckingham Palace on 'Wednesday the 15th inst., to pas the Easter recess. The Queen and her illustrious consort arc expected to remain ten days or a fortnight at the castle. Mr. Schomburgk has had the honour of exhibiting, at Marlborough House, by command of the Queen Dowager, the magnificent drawing of the Victoria Regis ; also a series of views from the interior of British Guiana, to the intended publication of which her majesty is a subscriber. DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL SIR JAMES CAMPBELL, OF THE ROYAL MARINES.—This gallant officer, whose de mise took place at his seat near Farnham, was knghted by his late majesty, and invested with the insignia of a Knight Commander of the Gueiphic Order. His commission as Major-General bore date 1825. LADY SKELMERSDALE.—Accounts have been received from Lathom House giving a more favourable statement of the health of this estimable lady. We are given to under stand that an improvement took place on Satnrday last, and although not considerably better, her ladyship was not in the same alarming condition as in the earlier part of the week. Lord and Lady Stanley and their family are at Lathom House. The Earl of Derby, according to letters received on Wed nesday from Knowsley, was going ou well, and intended to leave for London about the first of May. His lordship, who keeps up the valuable racing -stud of his father, the late earl, intends to send his horse De Clifford to run for the Dee stakes at Chester races, which Lord Stanley will attend. NOVEL ENCLOSURE BY POST.—A respectable tradesman in Hull received a few days ago, by post, a package contain ing 2,500 needles. The charge for postage amounted only to Is. 4d. During the past twelve months, no less a number than fire thousand three hundred travelling vagrants have received re lief, in the shape of a night's food and 10 - dging from the town of Warrington. A correspondent suggests.that O'Connell must favour the Beggary Suppression Bill of, Lord Morpeth on the principle that two of a trade can' never agree. No doubt there is a secret understanding between him and the noble lord that vested rights shall be respected, and that the bill will not affect the heads of the profession.—Courier. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO A CLERGYMAN.—We have pleasure in recording the grateful expression of feeling on the part of a few friends of the Rev. W. R. Browne, M.A., late curate of Mottram, and now chaplain of Knutsford House of Correction. A handsome gown,. together with a small purse of gold, has been recently forwarded to him by the people of his late charge, as a humble yet expre ss i ve t r ib u t e o f t h e i r esteem, and of the affectionate fidelity an d sincerity with which:do:4llg five years, he discharged the pastoral duties of his office amongst them.—Manchester Courier. A gentleman residing in London, which purchased 405 acres of land in South Australia, including three town acres at 12s per acre (243,) has recently let the 402 country acres, on a lease for fourteen years for £2OO per annum, and one of the town acres on a lease for 21 years at £9O per annum. The rural land is distant about five miles from Adelaide, and the town acre is situated in Currie-street. This remarkable in stance of a purchaser obtaining in less than four years a yearly rental greatly exceeding his whole purchase money, is within our own knowledge.—Colonial Gazette. THE SLEEPING PHENOMENON.—The following commu nication has been addressed to the York Courant:—" Sir, My attention having been drawn to a paragraph in your pa per of the 12th inst., headed ' A Phenomenon or a great de ception,' I think it incumbent upon inc to state, that in the latter part of October, 1834, I was called on to visit Thomas Bradley, the person therein named, and that shortly after that visit he became in a comatose state, in which he conti nued I believe for nine months. He then gradually reco vered, so as to be able to follow his usual avocation until the last week in August, 1839, when, as I am informed by his parents, he relapsed into the state above-mentioned. I again saw him in December last, and also on Friday, the 20th inst., and found him labouring under the same symptoms, though not so emaciated as in 1834. Assuring you that there can be no deception either on the part of the patient or his pa rents, I remain, your's obediently, BENJ. LOCKWOOD, Sur geon. Kirkheaton, March 24th, 1840."—[We have not had an opportunity of visiting the sleeping man, though we have heard various opinions expressed by those who have visited him. One thing is certain, if he sleeps his relatives are wide awake : they are reaping a golden harvest, and the longer and the sounder he sleeps the better it will be for them.— Halifax Guardian.] THE SHIP JOHN GARROW.—This splendid vessel, the hull of which is built of iron, arrived in our harbour on Friday last, and has attracted a great deal of attention amongst those concerned in the shipping. The ship was built by the well known ship builders, John Ronalds and Co., of Aberdeen, and has been named the John Garrow, in honour of Mr. Gar row, of Liverpool, the ship-broker and merchant, and be longs to the firm of Anderson and Garrow, of that place. The iron varies in thickness from one inch to one half inch, tapering gradually from the keel. The bottom plates are seven-eighths, and the side plates are five-eighths of an inch thick. The ribs are from two feet to two feet six inches asunder, according to the size of the plates, they are made of three-inch angle bar by half an inch. The beams consist of double iron plates, each of which are three and a quarter inches broad, and half an inch thick. There are a number of uprights from the kelson to the deck; they are made of one and three-quarter inches round iron bar, and enclosed within two angle bars, fastened with clasps and screw bolts. The extreme length is 145 feet, with a thirty feet one inch beam and a clear hold of twenty-one feet in depth. The ton nage is about 800, but it is supposed that the vessel will carry about 1400 tons at fourteen feet Water. The deck is flush with a round house fore and aft. The standing rigging con sists of patent metallic cordage, with Manilla cordage for the running rigging, and upon the whole, the vessel is very com plete and in the highest order. We understand the John Garrow made the passage from Aberdeen in 17 hours, and sails admirably. The vessel is commanded by Mr. 'Wilson, an experienced and intelligent seaman ; and the accommo dation for passengers is excellent. The John Garrow leaves this with a general cargo for Bombay, to load cotton for Li verpool, and it is confidently expected the passage out will be made in eighty days.—Tyne Pilot. OLD ENGLISH FARE.—The following is a dinner of the reign of Charles the First :—A soup of snails, a powdered goose, a joll of salmon, and a dish of green fish, buttered, with eggs ; this was a first course. Then came a Lombard pie, a cow's udder roasted, a hedge-hog pudding, a rabbit stuffed with oysters, polonian sausages, a mallard with cab bage, and a pair 9f boiled cocks. To these succeeded as en tremits—a spinaite.,:tart, a carbonated hen, a pie of aloes, eggs in moonshine, a chrystal jelly, jumballs, quiddary, braggot, and walnut suckets. Cock-ale, surfeit-water, Ca nary, sack, and Gascony wines, served to moisten this hete rogeneous repast. The following is taken from " Wrecker's Secrets of Nature," published in the next reign, 1660 : " A live roasted goose." The details of the process are too barbarous to repeat; but when the roasting is accomplished, the writer adds—" Then take her up, set her before your guests, and she will cry as you cut off any part from her, and will almost be eaten up before she is dead : it is mighty pleasant to behold."—Harrison Flather. EPISTOLATORY INTERCOURSE SEVENTY YEARS AGO. — Seventy years ago, the communication by post with the principal towns of England was only twice or three times a week, and with many places not so frequently. Almost within the recollection of old persons, the post went out daily to the place where the fashionables of the last century were accustomed to resort ; while to Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham, and all our great cities, thr ee ti mes a week was considered sufficiently frequent. Nevertheless, in that day and generation, the arrangements of the post office were regarded with the utmost complacency. " Let ters are conveyed in so short a time, by night as well as by day, that every twenty-four hours the post goes 120 miles ; and in five or six days an answer to a letter may be had from a place three hundred miles distant from London." At present it is quite possible for a person living at Preiton, 221 miles from London, to send a letter to, and receive a letter from, London in twenty -five hours, allowing, too, a delay of four hours in London, the distance traversed being 442 miles. In 1768, the mail, travelling at the rate of less than six miles an hour, would have been little more than half way to Preston in the siune time. It is also quite pos sible, in a case of emergency, for a merchant in Birmingham to write to his correspondent at Liverpool in the afternoon, and receive a communication in reply the same night—the distance, which is above 200 miles, being traversed between half-past two and a quarter before twelve, and an hour being . allowed at Li ver p oo l . I t is estimated that the number of letters con veye d t h rough the post-offices o f England and Wales in a year was about sixty millions previous to the recent change in the scale of postage ;_ ber will very soon exceed two hundred millions, _an enormous utNr and perhaps the num amount of correspondence, it must be confessed , B . .. vhe about one-half of the every man and woman adult n g p l o a i i , i u d ia c t aLl i w i, ri e te ve , n ins t t h ea is d n o u t m o b n e ly r will probably be small in comparison with the frequent use which will then be made of the post. We hope soon to see the correspondence by letters increased forty or fifty fold.— Penny Magarixe. INCREASE og TRAFFIC ON RAILWAYS. We find, from a calculation made by an industrious and able correspondent of the Railway Times, that according to the published statements of traffic upon the London and Bir mingham Railway, the increase of gross receipts, as between the first eleven weeks of 1839 and 1840, is £33,738, or 34 8-9 per cent. in favour of the present year. The increase upon the Grand Junction during the present year is £11,013, or 161 per cent. ; and upon the Newcastle and Carlisle Rail way, £2,809, or 25 6-10 per cent.—a nice prospect for the next dividends. CHESTER AND CREWE RAILWAY AND THE RUABON BRANCH. The Bill for uniting the Chester and Crewe with the Grand Junction Company passed the House of Commons on the 26th inst., and we are informed that if passed by the other House (of which no doubt is entertained) the consoli dation of the two companies will take place on the Ist July next, after which period the proprietors of the Chester and Crewe will participate in the dividends paid by the Grand Junction. The Crewe line will be opened in August. A valuable addition to this and the Chester and Birkenhead railways will be afforded by the proposed branch to Ruabon, for which, we are glad to find, from the requisite notice being published in the London Gazette, an application to parlia ment will be made next session.
