GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND RILLWAY.—WO now
understand that it has been definitely determined to pro-
ceed with the construction of this line of railway, exe-
cuting in the first place the portion of the works betwixt
Aberdeen and Huntly, The surveyors are engaged
staking off the line, and the contractors have received
orders to commence the works immediately between
Port-Elphinstonef and liuntly. By the operations being
confined in the first instance to this part of the line, the
Aberdeenshire Canal will be allowed to remain open for
the convenience of the public until absolutely required
for the purpose of the railway ; and arrangements are
in course cf being made for the completion of the line
between Port-Elphinstone and Aberdeen, after which it
will be gradually extended northwards from Huntly.—

WAS PENN EVER A SLAVEHOLDER ?-I)id Wm.
Penn ever make use of negro slaves? As this question is
put, I should think he did; and for my authority in thus
believing would refer Mr. Croosfield to Hepworth Dixon's
recent " Life of Penn," published in London in 1851, p.
389 :—" Many years after this he (Penn) spoke of slavery as
a matter of course, and though he refrained from the actual
purchase of negroes, so as in strict fact never to become a
slaveowner, yet he constantly hired them from their masters,
and they formed a regular part of the establishment at.f
Pennsbury." William Penn was, therefore, a slaveh older
not a slaveowner. Many planters in America are
similarly
situated at the present day ; they hire slaves to
__ cultivate
their land, but do not own them. Mr. Bancroft would appear
to be correct.--From Notes and Queries-

that some, 3i inches, with an extra eye piece, will
show distinctly, Jupiter's Moons, Saturn's Ring, and the
Double Stars. With the same Telescope, weighing only three
ounces, can be seen a person's countenance 31 wiles distant,
and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They supersede every
other kind for the waistcoat pocket, and are of larger and all
sizes, with increasing powers accordingly. Opera and Race-
course glasses, with wendertul powers ; an object can be
clearly seen from 14 to 16 miles distant. Messrs. S. and B.
Solomons, Opticians, have invented invaluable preserving
Spectacle Lenses, immediately they are placed before imper-

aged defective sight becomes bright and brilliant, is brought to
its youthful, natural, arid original state. The Invisible Or-
