METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.—A circular was issued yes-
terday, calling the attention of the commercial firms con-
nected with the manufacturing districts to the conve-
niences that would be obtained by the proposed Metro-
politan Railway to connect the Great-Western and
North-Western lines with the Post-office. The railway
is to consist chiefly of a tunnel, and will be 4i miles in
length ; but, as it is to pass under open roads or un-
covered ground through nearly three-fourths of the dis-
tance, there will be no tunnelling in the strict sense of
the term, as the work will be built in an ordinary cut-
ting, which will be filled up as fast as eaoh portion is
completed.

[A.DTERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills
have effected another cure of bad legs.—Mr. Mason,
chemist, of Hastings, states in a letter to Professor Hol-
loway, that a relation of his, residing in Goodwin-street,
Bloomsbury, Birmingham, was for several years afflicted
with bad legs. He applied a variety of remedies, but to
no purpose, as the wounds increased to an alarming ex-
tent. However, at last he tried Holloway's Ointment
and Pills, and by the use of these never-failing remedies
the virulence of the disease was quickly subdued, and by
persevering with them for a time tikey effected a sound
and permanent cure. —Sold by all vendors of medicine,
and at Professor Holloway's establishments, 244, Strand,
