way Company, finding the inconvenience of two stations
(namely, the Bricklayers'Arms and the London-bridge),
ceased to split the trains at Deptford, and now run alter-
nately, for this very reason, that a man never knew which
station he was going to in London ; and therefore, if
he said to his servant. " You will meet me at the Dover
Railway, on Friday ;" he said, " Which station am I
to go to, the Bricklayers' Arms or the London-bridge ?"
Supposing you split the train at Euston-square, and
brought it partly here and partly there, the difficulty
would be just this, that unless a man always knew which
stationjhe was coming to, as a west-end man, his servant
would never know which station to go to, besides the
inconvenience as to luggage.
In fact, you think a double station an inconvenience
to the public ?—Yes ; the present Dover Company run
one train now to the Bricklayers' Arms, and the other to
London-bridge, on purpose to obviate this very difficulty,
independent of saving time and safety.
Is there nit now this difficulty, that a man may go to
the wrong station?—lt is right enough now ;if a man
goes there he is told that no train is coming in, and that
he must go to the Bricklayers' Arms ; but before a gen-
tleman must wait, if he was undecided, till both trains
were in. Another thing is, that you lessen the accommo-
dation to both, because, if you only start at the Euston-
square alternately, you only accommodate the Euston-
square man that once, and in the same way you only
accommodate the other once.

the facts we had before us in coming to a resolution on
thisimportant matter. By the contemplated mea-
sures, upwards of 200 miles of railway will be placed
under one management, and the superior economy and
advantage of working long, as compared with short
lines, are now too well known and appreciated to re-
quire any commendation. The directors, therefore,
earnestly recommend the approval of this Bill as a mea-
sure which cannot fail to be of the greatest importance to
the shareholders.—(Applause.) The Chairman then sub-
mitted drafts of the various Bills seriatim to the meeting,
which were all unanimously approved of, and a resolu-
tion adopted empowering the directors to make the
necessary application for obtaining the Bills in the
ensuing session of Parliament.

r A case of considerable interest is now progressing in
the Baltimore County Court. It is an action brought by
1 the city corporation against the Baltimore and Ohio
Railway Company, to recover the amount of tax or as-
sessment on the capital stock of the company—not
decided.

The effect of the loss of ale Atlantic on the traffic of
the Norwich and Worcester is likely to be serious,
though much less than anticipated, the Atlantic being
insured for nearly her full value. The earnings of the
road will, for the remainder of the season, be materially
reduced by this accident, as travellers will take the most
inland routes, for the purpose of avoiding, as much as
possible, the navigation of the Sound.

EXETER, DORCHESTER, AND WEYMOUTH.— On Sa-
turday a meeting was held under the Dissolution Act
Mr. Heale in the chair, when it was moved by Mr. Po-
cock, and seconded by Mr. Cohen, "That the company
be dissolved, and that the dissolution be not taken as an
act of bankruptcy." Scrutineers were appointed to ex-
amine the votes. Whilst this duty was being performed,
Mr.lrococklas chairman of the shareholders' committee,
proposed to read their report, but it was not thought
necessary to do so. Mr. Pobock then stated that they
had taken great trouble in looking into the affairs of
the company, and the only thing they could complain
was the purchase of shares by the company, which,
however, they had had the honesty to acknowledge
at the first meeting, and the shareholders'
committee believed it arose from an error of judgment
rather than from any desire to benefit individuals. Mr.
Cohen stated that the managing committee had afforded
ready access to all papers necessary to be examined in
conducting the inquiry, and that the conduct of Mr.
Crew, the secretary, had been most assiduous and oblig-
ing. He had the satisfaction of stating, as the result of
the labours of the shareholders' committee, that the sum
of 6,0001. had been deducted from the accounts sent in,
which had enabled the management to return a guinea
per share, and the sum of ls. 6d. per share still remained
to be paid to the shareholders. He also stated that
Messrs. Chauntler and Westwood, and Mr. Strick, the
solicitors, had kindly taken into consideration the posi-
tion of the company, and deducted upwards of 1,5001.
from their accounts. The scrutineers here reported that
the number of votes recorded in favour of the dissolution
of the company amounted to 6,140, being more than one-
third of the shares issued prior to the 31st of March last,
and the Chairman thereupon declared the company to be
dissolved.

INDIAN CORN AS AN ARTICLE

OF FOOD.
As a food for man, Indian corn is considered a grain
of the greatest value. The total annual crop in the
United States for a year or two past, has been estimated
at between four and five hundred millions of bushels per
annum. Although long estimated in America as a
wholesome and nutritious bread stuff, it has only been
the failure of the crops in Great Britain the past and
present year, combined with the reduction of duties on
corn, which has caused its value to become appreciated
abroad, causing vastly increased exports.
Though the modes of preparing it for food are all
simple, yet the prevailing ignorance on the subject has
been most extraordinary. Believing information (though
condensed), respecting the modes of preparing Indian
corn for food will be as acceptable to the emigrant as
any other sort, at the present time of scarcity in Ire-
land, &c., we shall give some directions for converting
it into food for table use. To make pone bread from In-
dian meal, it should first be sifted through a hair sifter.
The bran is good for poultry. All that is necessary to
form the dough for bread, is to mix the meal with hot
water, and add salt. Then make it into cakes of any
convenient size, usually into flattened lumps of five or
six inches in diameter, and from two to three inches
thick, placing them in a cast-iron oven, or " spider,"
with coals of fire beneath, covering it with a lid, and, if
convenient, the lid with coals, and bake till the bread is
well browned or done. It may then be taken out for use,
If fat bits of pork, or small lumps of lard or butter be
added to the dough before baking, the bread will be all
the better.

And it isanincreascciCOt to the company, and con-
sequently an increased cost to the public, by having two
passenger stations ?—Yes ; I do not think the South-
Western can do what I believe they can at London-
bridge ; they take the number of the vehicles outside
the gates daily that pass through their gates.
At the South-Western they do that, and also the place
to which each cab is going?—Now they do at the London
and Birmingham, that is exactly what we do, and the
estimate which I have given is taken from such
data. These details are from Mr. Creed ; we keep
the account for the London and Birmingham ourselves,
therefore this information must come from us. The
next question is, is it necessary in the estimate to
take a season of the year when there are many more
persons ? I have taken from March to April. If you
take from July to August, instead of being 26,000 people,
we should bring it up to about 40,000 for the West, and
about 20,000 for the City. If you toke March and April,
and July and August, or about that time, you will have
the average of the two seasons, which will be better.
Do the proportions differ much?—Oh, yes.
The proportions, not the numbers?—Oh, yes.
With regard to the proposed goods station on the
Southwark side of London-bridge, on the Southampton
line, can vessels get up there?—No, only lighters.
How will vessels get through London-bridge ?—A
lighter from London-bridge to the docks would be a very
trifling expense, and there would be a very ready access,
and by going to the docks in a lighter, you save the
charge of the docks themselves when by land.
You would not calculate upon coasting-vessels getting
up to that station ?—Coasting-vessels can get up there ;
hoys can ; they can get there if it is put where I pre-
sume the station will be ; somewhere about Mr. Hum-
phrey's wharf.

If the meal be gently parched in a greased spider or
other iron vessel, like coffee, and then have poured on it
some gravy, and a sufficient quantity of boiling water,
stirring it well at the same time, it will form cheap and
most nourishing sort of soup.
Boiled with common water, being careful to have it
well stirred while boiling, till cooked, will form an ex-
cellent porridge, which may be eaten with milk, gravy,
or butter. To make it palatable, salt should be added as
a seasoning. More expensive preparations are made by
boiling white corn meal, and mixing it with wheat flour,
when it can be baked in all the ordinary modes of baking
the latter.

How will they get under the bridge : the billy-boys
and things of that kind ?—I apprehend what will go
principally will be from the docks, the same as we have
to fetch things, and take things to and from the Cus-
tom-house, and not vessels.

What will be the difference of the expense, instead of
coming to Vauxhall, as is done now 2—They would be
taken for is. a ton. Then there is this saving, that if
we take them by our waggons into the docks, they have
to pay dock charges, bat not if they go by lighters.
What will be the difference of expense?—About 3s.
per ton, and the saving of time will make some differ-
ence; it will be about three hours in time.

If corn meal be made into dough with warm water and
yeast, and kept in a warm place for twenty-four hours,
it will rise like white bread, aid on being baked in a
baker's oven, in a large pan, it will keep for several
days in cold weather, pure and fresh.
A more expensive bread is made by taking corn meal,
say a quart, and adding to it two or three eggs, suffi-
cient milk to soften it, and a spoonful or two of butter
or lard, forping the whole into a soft batter, then
baking it in a thin cake, or in separate small masses
till well browned.

Why should it be so?—lt takes about three or four
hours now, and would be less to London-bridge.
It is only a tide after all. What is the advantage of
going up to London-bridge, as you have a station at
Vauxhall?—lt makes a great difference upon the horse-
draught. I do not mean to say it makes all that difference
that is necessary as for a commercial district. The pas.
sengers,-no doubt, would receive an immense benefit by
coming into the city, because the amount of traffic is so
very large. As regards the London and Birmingham
Railway Company, I understand that they wish to get
to the Docks direct from Camden-town ; of course, if

Very cheap and pleasant food can be made by making
a batter of Indian meal, salt, and hot water alone, or
sour milk, and then fried in thin cakes with lard. These
batter cakes are improved by adding boiled rice to the
batter. If Indian corn be coarsely ground the mass is
called " small hominy." This is usually boiled for table
use. If the whole grains be pounded in a mortar (having
been previously soaked in warm water), till the tough
rind or skin of the grain be loosened, which is then
blown off; it is then called "large hominy." To per-
form the operation of beating it properly, a large wooden

from the appearance of the grain when it is sufficiently
pounded. The husk is then blown off by tossing it up
and down in a large dish or wooden tray, blowing on it
at the same time with the breath. It is then placed in a
large iron pot, and boiled over a moderate fire a whole
day, or until it is soft enough to mash a grain of it be-
tween the fingers; water being added from time to time
during the boiling. It is then removed and preserved in
cold weather for use. It may be mashed and fried in
lard for breakfast, or it may be eaten cold with milk or
gravy, &c. To make this " large hominy," it is best,
when convenient, to select the whitest and hardest corn
that can be obtained.—American Sun.

they do that, it will lessen our cartage very considerably.
By coming under the City 7—By the outer line, I think
we carted sixty tons in one cargo only the day before
yesterday from the Docks to the Birmingham Railway.
I can furnish the Commissioners with the absolute num-
ber of the passengers moved for twelve months by
omnibus from the Great Western, from the South-
Western, the London and Brighton, the London and
Dover, and the London and Birmingham.
And by cabs, too?—Yes, we can give you it partially
by cabs, not all by cabs, but pretty near the mark. You
will see the small quantity which we take to and from
the Brighton and Dover Railways.
But that does not include all the people who are moved
from that station by omnibus?—We take the whole
district by Charing-cross, and no other omnibus goes to
the station but our own, excepting the London Convey-
ance Company omnibuses, which go by Holborn to Ox-
ford-street ; I believe they go to Paddington ; beyond
that there is no other.

There may be passengers by the London Conveyance
Company omnibuses?—They go to Ilolborn, and up Ox-
ford-street. We want to take out the Charing-cross
omnibus, but the Railway Company will have our omni-
bus in as a matter of regularity in connexion with them.
You say we shall see the very small number of pas-
sengers which you have conveyed from the Brighton and
Dover Railways?—Yes, you will find that they go by
cabs; they do not mind the additional money; they pay
the additional money, and thereby produce six vehicles
to one. It is not so with the London and Birmingham
quite in proportion.

REPRODUCTION of the POTATO.
(From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser.)
The experiment detailed below is exceedingly inte-
resting, and of great public importance. More than a
year since, we urged the making of such an experiment,
in the confident belief that it would arrest a disease that
seemed to threaten almost total destruction to one of our
most valuable staple products, and it gives us great
pleasure to be able to announce the full success of the
experiment.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.
It is now evident that the potato disease is likely to
prove injurious to this year's crop of this valuable vege-
table in this country, and in Ireland the whole crop
is threatened with destruction. It is, therefore, a
matter of the deepest interest to ascertain, if possible,
how the evil is to be remedied. My own opinion is, that
the potato has been so long propagated by cutting in-
stead of seed, that it has gradually deteriorated, until it
has become fatally diseased, and that the remedy is to
procure potatoes for planting which have been pro-
pagated recently from the seed. I wish to call the at-
tention of the public to the fact, that a gentleman in
this city, Rev. N. S. Smith, has been for several years en-
gaged in his garden in producing the potato from seed,
and with great success. He commenced, as he informed
me, some four years since, by sowing the seed from the
ball. These, the first year, produced a very small tuber.
The next year he planted the -tuber, and also sowed the
seed which was produced from the vine of the new tuber.
The tuber, as is usual, next produced a potato of a large
size, while the seed of the young potato (a result not
before known) produced a much larger tuber, and a
much greater number, than that of the old plant. Mr.
Smith again took the seed from the second year's growth,
as well as the tuber, and an increased size and quantity
was the result in both cases. This remarkable fact is
now stated by Mr. S. that the seed of his new potato
will now produce a potato of a respectable size, and,
while the seed ofintdlieshooldwswcolrenaroluytthpelapnrtoactesfisrbsty
whichgives a
potato hardly the size of a pea, the seed of the potato so
renewed will now produce a, tuber of an eatable size.
theTphoist'atto i to
mys mind,
its vital energy. Besides, the
new potatoes are finer in the texture than the old, pro-
duce more, and show no signs of the potato disease,
though planted in the vicinity of those affected by it, and
are as hard and fine in the spring as when put in the
cellar in the fall. Mr. Smith has been many years en-
gaged in his garden in producing this result, and he has
now a large quantity of the renewed potato on hand of
different varieties. Every farmer and gardener should
procure some of them for seed, for lam very confident
that their product will be found entirely free from the rot.
Mr. Smith lives in Jeffersonystreet, and will give a
more full statement to any desirous of seeing or pur-
chasirri, the renovated potato. The same plan has been
resorted to in Germany, and I understand with equal
success. The different varieties of this potato will be
exhibited at the annual agricultural fair in this country.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
THE ABERDEEN RAILWAY.
A special general meeting of the shareholders was
held within the Royal Hotel, Aberdeen, on Wednesday,
to consider and approve of various Bills proposed to be
applied for in the ensuing session of Parliament ; Mr.
James Hadden, the chairman of the company, in the

chair.
The CHAIRMAN said—The first is a Bill to enable this
company to make a railway from the Arbroath and For-
far Railway, at Forfar, in the Scottish Midland Junction
Railway, in the parish of Glammis—in other words, to
extend the Arbroath and Forfar Railway, which is now
leased to this company, to a convenient point of junction
with the Scottish Midland, near the village of Glausmis.
The length of the proposed new line is about two and a
half miles, and will effect a saving of distance as com-
pared with the present intended route of the Scottish
Midland, of half a mile. By a reference to the map it
will be seen that the present intended junction of the
' Arbroath and Forfar and Scottish Midland is not only
inconvenient, but is is so laid down as entirely to cut off
the importent town of Forfar ' • and to remedy this,
and to secure the most direct thorough communication,
the present Bill is proposed. The estimated cost
is 36,000/. The next Bill to be submitted is one
to enable the company, in part, to alter their branch
line to Brechiu. The alteration to which this
Bill relates was sanctioned by a general meeting of the
proprietors, specially called for that purpose on the 30th
of May last, by adopting which the company are enabled
to carry their terminus considerably nearer the town of
Brechin, rendering it more convenient for the lehabi•
tants of that town. The works are presently being pro-
ceeded with ; but it is necessary to procure an Act of
Parliament, in order to obtain a valid title to certain en-
tailed lands through which the line passes, as well as in
other respects to secure the legal rights of the company.
The expense is estimated at 3,0001. The next measure
to be brought before you is a Bill to authorise this com-
pany to purchase, and the Aberdeen Harbour Commis-
sioners to sell, a piece of ground at the upper part of the
Inches, and upper part of the harbour of Aberdeen.
The ground referred to is close in the vicinity of the
terminus at Aberdeen, and is required by the company
for the purposes of building workshops and other ac-
commodation thereon, for which it is very suitable
and convenient. The present Bill is rendered necessary,
in consequence of the harbour commissioners having
no power, by their Act, to dispose of the ground. The
last and most important matter to be submitted to this
meeting is a Bill to consolidate the Aberdeen and Great
North of Scotland Railway Companies. In bringing
forward this measure, your directors are carrying out a
resolution passed at a general meeting of proprietors
held on the 11th September, 1845. It is as follows,
viz. : " That this meeting recommend to, and authorise
the directors to adopt, in conjunction with the directors
of the Great North of Scotland Railway, the proper
measures for affecting an amalgamation of the two lines
at the earliest period which may be found advisable
and practicable. And the Great North of Scotland
Company having obtained an Act in the last session of
Parliament, both companies are now in a position to
apply to the Legislature for a Bill for their amalgama-
tion. Of the desirableness of such an union, I believe
there can be but one opinion among those who know the
intimate connexion between the two lines of railway,
and the mutual dependence on each other, which, from
their position, must always exist. From the very first,
the promoters of this company contemplated the ex-
tension of railway communication north of Aberdeen,
in connexion with the Aberdeen Railway, and although
it was considered advisable to bring out the Great North
of Scotland Company as a separate undertaking, the
directors of both companies hare all along acted on the
distinct understanding that, as the interests of both
r lines were identical, they could not be kept separate
with advantage to either. The question in regard to the
terms on which the amalgamation should be made has
received the most anxious consideration of your direct-
ors, and after maturely weighing the matter in all its
bearings, they have unanimously come to the resolution
of recommending an amalgamation of the two com-
panies on equal terms. I do not think if would be
judicious on the present occasion to make any com-
parison of the merits- of the respective lines, but I deem
it proper to state the following facts regarding the
Great North of Scotland Railway, as indicative of the
reasons which have induced the directors to recommend
such terms of amalgamation. 1. The Great North of Scot-
land Railway, commencing at the Aberdeen Company's
errininus, in the centre of the city of Aberdeen, passes
t o
ughthe important counties of Aberdeen,Banff, Moray,
Nairn, and Inverness, and embraces a wide extent of
difertile country containing a large population. 2. In ad-
tion to the counties above mentioned, it forms an outlet
counti the population and commerce of the more northern
es of Ross
, rrextent Sutherland, and Caithness. 3. The
line will be of singula 1

favourable nature of the country, the rails may almost

HAPPY Is TUE WOOING THAT NOT LONG A
DoING.—In a single recent number of the Washington
Intelligencer are paragraphed three marriages. The
first was a couple who had met at Vicksburg, on their
way westward, and as the boat in which they had to
embark was waiting, they were married in the strret,
not to lose the boat. The second couple were married
in a Newhaven steamer, chancing to agree during the
six hours' passage, and a clergyman being onard.
The third case was rather more romantic. A Spaniard,
just arrived at New Orleans from Rio Grande, went on
board a steamer bound for St. Louis. A German lady,
just landed from a voyage across the Atlantic, and be-
longing to a party of emigrants, chanced to be a pas-
senger in the same boat. On the second (lay of their
passage to the Mississippi though they did not under-
stand a word of each other's language, they were married
by a justice of peace, who was on board, having courted
and made the bargain by aid of an interpreter 1 To
these examples of notable diligence (all recorded in one
day's paper) may be added one more instance of much
the same spirit, as to making the most of the present
moment. A Texas Paper complained, a few days ago,
