pROPOSE:D • MONUMENT 'TO JAMES
: MORISON, THE HYGEIST.
38, Oldham-street, Manchester, Jan: 22, 1852.
TO THE EDITO: It OF THE HYGEIST AND ACEDICAL REFORMER.
Dear Sir,—At thi , meeting of Hygeists, held at the British College
of health, July 15, 1851, I had the honou^ of proposing that our next
amfilal meeting she uld be called a semi-jubilee of the British College
el Health, being a q 'tuarter of a century since its establishment by the
immortal James 31 [orison ; and during the time we were at dinner I
said privately to a few gentlemen near me that there ought to be a
Monument raised n o the memory of so great a man as the Hygeist,
and that at the pr oposed meeting to be held in the summer of the
present year, I st could openly recommend such monument to be
erected by the sma [lest contributions from the countless thousands of
people in all county les who have been benefited by his simple theory,
and the practical u se of the Universal Medicine.
I am glad, howe• eer, to find in the last number of the Hygeist, a
letter from our lea rued friend, Mr. Manneville, upon the same sub-
ject, in which he re grets that the ides of erecting a monument to Mr.
Morison has not or curred to others sooner ; and, in conclusion, begs
to say, that he slot se is responsible for the prop ,sal of a subscription
for the purpose of s uch erection. Now, Mr. Editor, I will not com-
plain that the wort by gentleman has deprived me of the hointar of
proposing, as I coy templated, but heartily thank him for taking the
initiative, and sha: I be most glad to second him, and Share with him
the responsibility c f such proposal. Sir, I believe Mr. Morison has
been the honoured instrument of drawing the attention of the world
to the simple and truthful system of Hygeistn ; and like all others
who have broken i n upon the gloom, and have disturbed the slum-
bers of the old syst em, he met with abundance of abuse, and endured
much persecution . The theory which he propounded is now be-
lieved by men of a 11 ranks, in every civilised country under the sun.
As a theory, it was the first with which history snakes us acquainted
—it has been belie ved through all past ages—surrounding and con-
flicting errors coup d never destroy that simple theory, that system
of nature. But it has been, so far as we know, reserved for James
Morison to give it efficiency, by proving its truth and publishing it
to the world amid[ A contumely and scorn. Theies, however plau-
sible, cannot stail I before the scrutiny of modern or
science unless they
can be proved. 3 iorison has proved that theory. He acted on the
conviction that elf sanliness, external and internal, is the great source
of health. He ha 4, by his experiments 'in the department of physi-
cal philosophy, st led a flood of light: To cleanse and not to injure
was the great desideratum. 31orison has made that grand discovery,
by acting on the t uth of inspiration, In The Lord e 3Sth chapereated mediciter, 4th verse,
nos
of Ecclesiasticus,, shere it is recorded—
out of the earth, and be that is wise will not abhor them.". Vege-
table ingredients • were what he used—ingredients whose juices would
digest, and there .in was the grand proof of their salubrity; whose
tendency was to loosen and put in a state
humours. and at the same time open up every drain in the human
system, through which to expel all unhealthy asd corrupt humours.
He has, humane] y speaking, brought into existence a new power for
the healing of the nations. All manner of di,eases have tied before
it, or been removed by its agency. Tne experiments havebeen num-
berless, and the 1 larenonious results all establish the same truth.
Sir, the *norm at may scoff, and the learned bigot may sneer, the
interested may Q ppose, but the facts are too numerous to be refuted,
too true to he be lied, and too powerful to be put down. As popular
prejudice passes away, the name of Morison will shine with greater
lustre, and his r semory be cherished as a high bles.ing and benefac-
tor of his count ry and the world. Entertaining such sentiments of
the man, I cane of but heartily unite with all right-minded men who
have been benet ited by the Universal Medicine of the British College
of Health to aid in erecting a monument to its founder, James Mori-
son, Esq.—and am, dear, sir, yours, most respectfully,
JAMES HIBEERT.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVER-
HAMPTON. • •
The half-
yearly Meeting:of the shareholders of this
company was held yesterday at the London Tavern,
Captain Ruhout, M. 13:, in the chair.
The meeting was One of considerable importance, as
the directors had to submit to the consideration of the
proprietors the policy
which has induced the board to
'project and promote the extension line froth Oxford to
Brentford, and thus give the Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton a Londim terminus at the Waterloo
station of the South-Western Railway, and render,
should the Bill before Parliament pass, the Oxford,
Worcester, and Wolverhampton line independent both of
the London and North Western slid Great Western,
Companies.
There was considerable discussion at the meeting, and
much of a personal character, but nearly the whole of
the chairman's speech, as well as almost all the impor-
tant remarks-of the various sioakers, are to be found in
the report of the directcrs, which we subjoin. The new
matter that was introduced will be found noticed below.
The following are the; material portions of the directors'
•
report:— •
" The proprietors will see by the accounts appended,
that the) expenditure during the half-year ending. the
31st Decetnner, 1851'; wai'292.000/, and that the -Vidal
oUtltty has been 2,112.000/.
" The expenditure ie nove,proCeecliug at the same rate
of 50,0001. a month; a very itafge proportion of the pay-
ments being for the works between Tipton and Wolver-
cot, the portion of the line in active progress.
" The directors intend very shortly to complete the
purchase of land between Tipton, Wolverhampton, and
the Ldndon and Nbrth-Western Railway at Show-hill,
and so soon as by poasession of such lands the con-
tractors can act upon that part of the line efficiently,
they will proceed with vigour towards its construction.
" The monthly expenditure will then be about 75,000/.
" The directors propose to provide the funds for this
outlay by issuing the residue of the preference shares
created on the 14th January, 1851—by calling up the
51. per shard yet remaining to be paid upon the prefer-
ence shares already issued, and by borrowing 283,333/.
under thetoinpany's Acts of 1848.
The moneys which will be provided by these means
will, as-your directors believe, be sufficient for the com-
pletion of the line from Wolvercot through Wolver-
hampton to the London and North-Western Railway at
Show-hill. '

" These arrangements enable the board to state with
confidence that the line will be completed and opened
for traffic at about the following periods:--
" The loop line from the Midland Railway at Stoke,
through Droitwich to Worcester, is arranged to be this
day opened.
" The line from Stourbridge to Droitwich, and from
Abbotswood to Evesham, shortly after Lady-day next.
" The line froniStourbridge to Tipton in Oct. next.
" The line from Evesham to Wolvercot in Dec. next.
" And the line from Tipton to Wolverhampton and
Show-hill about Midsummer, 1853.
" Your directors propose to work the portions of rail-
way (other than the Loop, which will at present be
worked exclusively by the Midland Company), as they
severally are completed, and they find that advantageous
arrangements can be made with third parties to provide
the requisite working stock.
" Tne foregoing statewent will make it obvious to.the
proprietors that the time is at hand when the future po-
sition of this undertaking must be determined; and that
it is necessary to decide--
" Whether the line shill bc, worked in connexion with
the Great Western or North-Western? or

•• Whether it shall be independent of either?
' " Now, with respect to these questions, involving al-
ternatives of extreme importance to the proprietors, it
must be borne i❑ mind—

" 1. That the proprietors refused, in October last, the
only arrangements which the Great Western Railway
Company were prepared to make; and
" 2. That they appointed a committee from their own
body for the purpose of considering the position of the
company, and of takiug'all such steps in co-operation with
the directors as they.sbould in their judgment deem most
expedient for promoting its interests; and that such com-
mittee should, in particular, consider and determine the
measures most proper in their 'judgment to be adopted
in respect of 'arrangements with other railway cm*
panies.'
' " Your &meters hid several interviews with that
committee, who theY -found were in favour of an ar-
rangement with the narrow gauge companies, with
whose lines they suggested the Oxford, Worcester, and
Pirolverhampton-Railway should-- he- connected at Wol-
vercot, near Oxford, by a junction line,, for which the
narrow-gen& companies would make application to Par-
liament this year.
" Your directors felt that; inasmuch as the distance
from Oxford to Paddington by the Great Western route
is 63 miles, while the distance from Oxford to Euston-
square, viii Bletchley, by the North-Western route-, is 77
miles, the consent of Parliarbent could s-careely_ be ex-
pected to so serious a diversion of the traffic of the Ox-
ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line. They, ne-
vertheless, expressed their readiness to carry into Par-
liament any• Bill which should be recommended by the
committee, but, being convinced of the necessity of pro-
tecting the company by other measures,. they reserved
to. themselves the right of presenting
to the proprietors
still to Parliament sue)) other: ,meamiroces- they _ rdigtit
consider better. adapted to promote Abe, .-yolfare of the
coMpaily.. The committee thereupon repos:nil your
directors to introduce: int,›Parliament. a Bill. to. lease or
self the7.oiford.and, Worcester line . to the :London-and
North-Western, the Midland,. and the
nies. This Bill the directors propose, in fulfilmentent of
Cs'
their pledge, to submit to the consideration Par-
liament. 'Rucks Comps-

The directors dßirielic

—the powers and
provisions of the Acts relating to the Oxford, Worcester,
and Wolverhampton Railway Company; to extend the
time for the coMpletionor the works and the purchase
Of certain lands; to authorise deviations in the line and
works, and the construction of certain branches and
works, and for other purposes.
" The_ objecte ofthts Bill were explained to the coin-
mice° of shareholders, and their propriety admitted.
"2. A Bill for enabling the Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton Railway Company to extend their line
of railway to Oxford; to construct a station there, and
a branch to join the. Buckinghamshire railways; for
altering some of the proviiiims of the Oxford, Wor-
cester, and Wolverhampton Railway Acts relating to
the Great Western Railway Company, and for other
purposes.
" 3. A Bill for extending the line of the Oxford, Wor-
cester, and Wolverhaeopton Railway from Wolvercot,
near Oxford, to the line of the London and South-Wes-
tern IZEtilittY Company near Brantford, in the county of
Middlesex, •

" The measure upon which your directors rely to se-
cure that independence which, in their estimation, has be-
come indispensable, is the proposed extension from
Wolvercot to Brentford, which, passing close to Oxford,
will accommodate in its course the market . towu of
Theme, Prince's Risborbugh, 'Wycombe, Beaconsfield,
and Uxbridge, and will terminate at Brentford by a
junction with the Hounslow line of the South-Western
Railway. This new line will be of great public utility.
to a large district of country much, in need of railway
accommodation; will materially shorten the distance
from Oxford to London; and will give an outlet for the
traffic of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhanipton
Railway, independent either .of the Great Western or
of the North- Western Company, securing to it, at the
same time, access to the best railway stations, whether
for goods or litssr.6agers, in the ;metropolis.
" The South-Western Company have, through their
board of directors, directed their readiness to receive
and accommodate :this company's traffic on very reason-
able terms.

" The proposed line is, fifty miles long, the works are
of an average character, and the cost from Oxford to
Brantford is estimated at 870,0004

" The landowners are anxious ,to see the line formed;
while, by the inhabitatati of the several towns which it
will approach, its' great public utility has been d' 11 co rla y
recognised.
" From the period wben tiara ,measure was suggested
but ono opinion as to its merit has prevailed 'amongst
those members of your board wh.o have keen selected by
the proprietors of this company. As it appeared to them
essential that this measure should be submitted to Par-
liament in the present session, and as an appeal to the
propriabrei previously to the giving the November notices
wrs impracticable, your direct( Irs entered into an ar-
rangement with Messrs. Peto and Betts, Bud_ Messrs.
Tredwell, your present contraators, to enable the com-
pany to comply with the requirtment of Parliament, as
follows:
" The extension of the Oaf, )rd, Worcester, and Wol-
verhampton Railway between the proposed station at
St. Giles's,

" The capital of the new line to be 800,000 x, divided

pital, to the extent of 6 'per cent., and the surplus thereof
to be then divided in equal moieties between the owners
