THACKERAY'S LECTURES on the
ILL ENGLISH HUMOURISTS of the 15th CENTURY.
" To those who attended the lectures, the book will be a pleasant
reminiscence, to others an exciting novelty. The style—clear,
idiomatic, forcible, familiar, but never sloven'y ; the searching
strokes of sarcasm or irony; the occr alonel flashes of generous 'cora ;
the touches of pathos, pity and tenderness ; the morality tempered,
phrasese weakened, by experience end sympathy ; the felicitous
the striking anecdotes, the passrges of wise, practical reflec-
tion ; all these lose much less than we could have expected from the
absence of the voice, manner, and look of the lecturer."—Spectator.
" What fine things the lec,ures contain ! What eloquent and subtle
sayings, what wise and earnest writing delght:al are their
turns of humoir• ; with what a toaching effect, niche graver pas-
sages, the genuine feeling of the mon comes out; and how v:vidly
the thoughts are painted, as it were, in graphic and characteristic

" Winchmore Hill, Middlesex, April 16, 1851.
" Sir,—ln consideration of the great benefit I have derived from
taking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you
and the pu bli cto send you the following statement. For upwards of
nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine.
I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion,
but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills,
I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief ; and during
this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other
medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a
better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg
further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and
we know of nothing to equal it.

ANEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.-
Mr. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-street, has intro-
duced an entirely NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICAL TEETH,
fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resem-
ble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the original by
the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will
be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method
does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation,
and will give support and preserve teeth that are loose, and are
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication ; and that Mr.
Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical,
he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At
home from ten till five.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-

t me, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the now-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall

"We promised in a former number that we should recur to this
wort, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes
with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying
on the creduli Friends,' public. The tribe of Quiet Symathisers,'
and ' Medical, are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who stiffer from th com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hindreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
'unlit upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.

on supplements, the boon
shWtteenstaMmrp.
was accompanied with
the condition that the supplements to be made
thus free of the stamp should not contai •
n a single
line of intelligence, but should c • onsist exclusively
of advertisements. It was felt by every news-
paper in the country, save one, that this would de-
stroy the value of the contemplated favour to news-
paper proprietors, because, in the existing state of
newspaper property, whether in the metropolis or
in the provinces, the condition with which it was
clogged would put it out of the power of newspaper
proprietors to avail themselves of it.
The provincial journalists, therefore, lost no
time in pointing out to the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, both in personal interviews and by means
of written representations, the manner in which his
proposed plan, so far as regarded supplements,
would operate on newspaper property. To
the representations and remonstrances thus ad-
dressed to him, both orally and in writing, the
right honourable gentleman not only gave
all due attention at the time, but the result of
weighing carefully all that had been submitted to
him, and of his more mature consideration of the
matter in all its aspects, has been, that he has de-
termined to depart from his original intention of
abolishing the stamp duty only on such supplements
as consist exclusively of advertisements. News-
paper proprietors will be, under the right hon.
gentleman's " amended'" resolutions, at liberty to
publish supplements, if they shall feet so disposed,
without a, single advertisement, and yet be exempt
from a stamp duty.
Thus far the Chancellor of the Exchequer has
done well. The alteration from his original plan
will give unmixed satisfaction to newspaper pro-
prietors,--since he had determined on meddling
with the stamp duties at all. Our opinions on
this point are well known. We have always
maintained that, as the right hon. gentleman
was subject to no pressure from without in con-
nection with this matter, it would have been

;OUTH YORKSHIRE

The adjourned half-yearly meeting of this company
was held yesterday at the London Tavern , • Mr. G.
Thompson in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN explained, that it would be neces-
sary to adjourn the meeting to another. day, in Con-
sequence of the judges of the Court of Exchequer
having appointed the 6th of July to deliver their
judgment on the validity of the company's agree-
ment with the Great Northern Company. It was
proposed to adjourn the meeting to the 19th of July,
to be held at the same place, and he hoped they would
then be in a position to declare their usual dividend,
which would of course depend upon the decision of the
judges. He concluded by moving a resolution to the
efrect, that the meeting be adjourned to the 19th of
July, which was seconded and carried unanimously.
The meeting then adjourned.

WIIITEHAVEN AND FURNESS. . •
A :;pecial meeting of this company was held yester-
day at the offices, Guildhall-chambers, to consider a,bill
now before Parliament ; the Earl of. Lousdale in the
chair. _ _

The solicitor read the heads of the bill, the object of
which was to enable the company to construct branch
railways at Whitehaven and Ravenglass. The estimated
cost of the works was 3,3001.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving a resolution approving of
the bill, stated that the meeting had been convened in
compliance with the standing orders of the House of
Lords, and the object of the bill was to facilitate the
conveyance of traffic to and from the railway and the
harbours of Whitehaven and Ravenglass.
The resolution was carried unanimously, and the
meeting separated.

REPORTS 01? SELECT COMMITTEES ON RrAIL-

WAY BILLS.

CHATHAM AND CANTERBURY LOCAL. -
Lord HOMAN reported from the committee on this
bill that the parties promoting the above railway had
stated to the committe.a that it was not their intention
to proceed with the same.
EAST AND WEST INDIA DOCKS AND BIRMINGHAM

JUNCTION (No. 2.)
Mr. MARSHALL reported from the committee that- the
objects of the bill are to enable the company to raise
additional capital to empower them to convert their de-
benture debt into an irredeemable preference stock, and
to construct additional sidings and other works necessary
for providing due accommodation for the largely increas-
ing traffic passing over their railway. The additional
capital proposed to be raised by the company for tho
purpose of the bill is 250,0001., and the amount of loan
83,0001. Mr. H. D. Martin was the engineer examined
in support of the bill. The committee were satisfied o f
the fitness, in an engineering point of view, of the pro-
posed new works. The committee had amended the
preamble of the bill by striking out that part of it which
referred to the siding communicating with the cattle-
market, it not having been proved to the satisfaction of
the committee that the proposed plan for such siding was
calculated to carry out the object intended in the best
manner for the supply of the market and
i the require-
ments of the public ; and by reciting that t was expe-
dient to change the name of the company, in order to
make the clauses contained in the bill consistent with
the preamble, and had found the same as amended to
be true.

LONDON AND MID-WESTERN.
Mr. T. EGERTON reported from the committee that, in
the case of this bill they bad examined the allegations
contained in the preamble of the bill, but the same had
not been proved to their satisfaction.
SOUTH-EASTERN (CANTERBURY AND WHITSTABLE PUB•
CHASE ARRANGEMENT).
Lord HOTHAM reported from the committee on this
bill that the additional amount authorised to be raised
for the objects of the bill, and the general purposes of
the South-Eastern Railway Company, by the creation of
new shares or by borrowing, or partly by both of those
means, is 500,0001., subject to a provision that the com-
pany shall not borrow more than one-third of their
capital. The objects of the bill are to dissolve the Can-
terbury and Whitstable Railway Company, and to vest
in the South-Eastern Railway Company the under-
taking of the South-Eastern and Continental Steam-
packet Company, and also to enable the South-Eastern
Railway Company to establish steam communication
between the ports of Folkestone or Dover, and Calais
or Boulogne. The committee, having fully considered
the question of the expediency of permitting the
South-Eastern Railway Company to acquire and use
steam-vessels, and having heard counsel on both sides,
are of opinion that the convenience and advantage of the
public will be better secured by the concession of such
powers to the extent limited by the bill. In pursuance
of the instruction of the House of the 13th of May, the
committee have thought fit to insert in the bill the pro-
visions with respect to giving notices by candidates for
the office of director or auditor, which were annexed to

the petition for additional provisions in the bill.

BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION, BIRMINGHAM,
WOLVERHAMPTON, AND DUDLEY, AND GREAT WESTERN
RAILWAYS.

Sir F. BARING reported from the committee that tho
principal objects of the bill, as amended by them, are
to enable the Great Western Company to purchase
lands at Birmingham for the purpose of providing addi-
tional station accommodation there in connection with.
the Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railway, to em-
power the Great Western Railway Company, and the
holders of securities in the Birmingham and Oxford and
Birmingham and Dudley Railways, to make arrange.
ments for an extension of time for the payment to such
persons of the moneys due in respect of their securities ;
to make further provision with respect to the construc-
tion, maintenance, and use of the joint station at Wol-
verhampton, authorised by "the Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton Railway Deviation Act, 1848," and to
authorise the Great Western Company to use certain
portions of the Oxford and Wolverhampton Railway.
OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON.

Sir F. BARING reported from the committee that the
objects of this bill, as submitted to the committee, were
to extend the time limited for the completion of the

Wolverhampton station, to be jointly constructed by the
Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, the Great
Western, and Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway
Companies, and also the time limited for the compulsory
purchase of land required for such station. The com-
mittee had amended the preamble by altering the para-
graph relating to the management of the joint station,
which they struck out of the bill, and had found the same
as amended to be true.
NORTH AND SOUTH-WESTERN, HAMPSTEAD, AND CITY
JUNCTION.

Mr. MARSHALL reported from the committee on this
bill that the proposed capital of the company is 250,0001.
and the amount of loan 83,3331. The length of the
main line is 6 miles 16 chains, and that of the branch
is 4 furlongs 7 chains. There is one tunnel proposed,
of which the length is 1,220 yards, the breadth 23
feet 6 inches, and the height 25 feet. The steepest
gradient is 1 in 100, and the smallest radius of a
curve 15 chains. It is intended to cross one road on a
level. The estimated cost of the railway is 250,0001., and
the quantity of land required is 72 acres. Mr. Stephen.
son and Mr. Berkeley were the engineers examined in
support of the bill, and no engineer was examined
in opposition to it. 16 petitions from various persons
were presented against the bill, but on 13 of them no
appearances were entered. The majority of the petitions
alleged that the land of the petitioners was intended to
ba laid out for building, and the property would be in-
jured by the railway passing through it. The committee
were satisfied of the fitness, in an engineering point of
view, of the proposed railway, and had inserted in the
bill provisions for securing its completion.
LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN (ST. ALBAN'S, &C.).
Mr. EGERTON reported from the committee that the
proposed line is to be executed out of funds which the
company is at present authorised to raise. The length
of the line is 7 miles 3 furlongs, the steepest gradient
being 1 in 76, and the smallest r-adius of a curve 4 fur-
