AT a SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING of
the PROPRIETORS of the ABERDEEN RAILWAY COM-
PAN Y, held within the Royal Hotel, Aberdeen, on Wednesday, the
21st day of January, 1846,
THOMAS BLAIKIE, Esq., Lord Provost of Aberdeen, in the Chair ;
The advertisement calling the meeting having been read, the fol-
lowing report was presented by the Directors :
The Directors have called the present meeting of the Proprietors
for the purpose of submitting to them, for their sanction, an agree-
ment now on the table, entered into between them and the Directors
of the Arbroath and Forfar Railway Company.

By this agreement, the Arbroath and Forfar Company undertake
to lease, in perpetuity, to the Aberdeen Company, the Arbroath and
Forfar Railway, including the whole property and plant connected
therewith, at the rate of 5/. ss. per centum per annum on the whole
cost, and one-half of the surplus profits of the line, after deducting
thirty-three and one-third per cent. for working expenses, the Aber-
deen Company having the option of taking the average profits of the
first five years after the opening of both lines throughout, as the
rule of payment, so far as regards the profits, in all time thereafter;
and in the event of such option being taken, the Arbroath and Forfar
Company is then to merge in the Aberdeen Company, and the Aber-
deen Railway shall be held to extend from the city of Aberdeen to
the towns of Arbroath and Forfar.

The Arbroath and Forfar Company undertake to alter the gauge
of the Arbroath and Forfar Railway, so as to correspond with the
proposed gauge of the Aberdeen Railway, to alter their engines,
carriages, and waggons, to suit the new gauge, and to lay down a
double line of rails throughout, all under the superintendence of the
Aberdeen Company's engineer.
The lease to commence on the 2d day of February, 1848, or as
soon thereafter as the alterations above mentioned shall be com-
pleted.
The Directors have much satisfaction in submitting this agree-
ment, by which, if sanctioned, you will attain the entire manage-
ment and control of the Arbroath and Forfar Railway, which the
Directors have always considered of the highest importance for your
interests, as affording a key to the Scottish Midland, Central, and
Caledonian Railways on the one , hand, and to the Dundee and.
Arbroath, Dundee° and rerth, Edinburgh and,Northern, and 1410.1111-
British on the other, and which, in the' hands *of any other party;-
might be made to affect prejudicially the efficient working of the
Aberdeen line.

The length of the Arbroath and Forfar Railway is 15M miles, the
present capital is 142,0001., and will, when the alterations referred to
in this report are completed, be about 180,0001. The free revenue of
the line is already equal to four per cent. of the present capital, and
when the large increase of traffic consequent upon the opening of the
railways south and north, the facility and economy with which the
Aberdeen Company will be enabled to work the Arbroath and Forfar
line, and the other inducements already referred to are considered,
the Directors have no hesitation in recommending the agreement now
submitted as a measure of the highest importance for your interests,
at the same time that it is one equally desirable and advantageous
for the Arbroath and Forfar Railway Company,

(Signed) THOMAS BLAIKIE, Chairman.
The following resolution was then moved by the Cuantmart
seconded by JAMES HADDEN, Esq., and unanimously adopted :—'
That this meeting approves of and confirms the agreement entered
into 'by the Directors, for the lease of the Arbroath and Forfar
Railway, and authorises them to take all necessary steps for the
completion of the same

The position of the port of Plymouth, its facility of access in all
conditions of weather, and at all hours of day and night, the extent
of its anchorage, and the security of the harbour, which have long
maintained its pre-eminence as a naval station, promise to obtain
or it, in the improved state of its land communications, the same
distinction as a commercial port.
By the completion of the South Devon Railway, Plymouth will,
in the course of a few months, be brought within six hours' journey
of the metropolis. The distance of the port from Birmingham is
somewhat less than from London ; and the Bristol and Exeter Rail-
way, and its extensions eastward and northward, afford a ready
communication with the manufacturing districts of the north ;
whilst, locally, the projected Tavistock, Launceston, and North
Devon Railways, will effect an immediate connexion with the whole
of North and Central Devon, and the ports in the Bristol Channel.
The advantage to passengers of embarking at a port from which
they can proceed directly to sea in almost any state of wind, and ef
being landed almost at the entrance of the Channel, can scarcely be
over-estimated, and the saving of expense to the shipowner in both
oases is at once apparent.
The saving of time in the transit of goods is equally important,
.specially in these branches of trade in which the utmost acceleration
of the voyage is often essential to the preservation of the cargo, or its
advantageous sale. From communications which have been had
with commercial houses in London engaged in the fruit, and the Le-
vant and Mediterranean trades, it appears certain that a large pro-
portion of their imports will, on the completion of the South Devon
line, be landed at Plymouth, and conveyed by railway to all parts of
England.
In the event of war Plymouth would obviously receive an im-
mense influx of shipping of all descriptions.
There are no port charges, and the rates of pilotage and lights are
very low, the latter being only 2d. per ton. The numerous bailders'
yards in the port afford the means of repairing shipping to any ex-
tent that may be required. Provisions of every description are
cheap, and the markets abundantly supplied.
From its very advanced position in the Channel, and the extent to
which Plymouth possesses all the requirements of a public mail-
packet station, its large Government establishments, its dockyard
and arsenal, and as the station of naval and military commanders-in-
chief, it can hardly be doubted that this port will, when the railway
communication with Bristol and London is complete, become the re-
sort of the vessels of the great steam-packet companies conveying
the Peninsular, Mediterranean, East and West India, and other
Colonial snails.
The internal growth and development of the population and trade
of the pert are indicative of a high degree of prosperity. The popu-
lation of Plymouth has nearly doubled within the last twenty years ;
and the increase in the assessable value of property subject to tha
local rates has exceeded that ratio. New streets and buildings are
rapidly extending in every direction, and numerous joint-stock and
private trading and manufacturing companies have been recently
formed, and are in successful operation. The trade of the port for
the year 1844 is given by an official return as follows :—lnwards,
3,339 vessels; goods, 450,626 tons; outwards, 2,124 vessels; goods,
327,815 tons.
To meet the requirements of a trade and commerce thus advancing,
and to secure all the advantages which the port of Plymouth so pe-
culiarly presents, it is proposed to provide a capacious wet dock, with
extensive ranges of wharfage, for which Millbay, by its position, pe-
culiar formation, and general circumstances, presents extraordinary
advantages.
Millbay occupies a position perfectly central to the three towns of
Plymouth, Devonport, and Stonehouse, and is iu immediate prox-
imity to the terminus of the South Devon Railway. Sheltered from
the prevailing southerly winds by the Millbay pier, the Breakwater,
and Drake's Island, it encloses an area of upwards of eighty acres,
half of which is excellent anchorage in from one to ten fathoms
water, at the lowest state of tide. From the peculiar form and sin-
gularly sheltered position of the bay, it constitutes a safe dock, almost
in its natural state, and is capable; with works of very moderate ex-
tent, of being converted into an extensive floating basin, with every
suitable accessory. The Entrance Lock admits of being formed so as
to take in, even at low water of the spring tides, vessels drawing
sixteen feet of water; and the depth of water within the' basin will
ex ; and
itent
be upwards of twenty-two feet.
The basin is designed to be upwards of twenty
acres in
ee
outside the basin, but within the shelter of the existing
siderable space will be appropriated to the reception ofp steamers
a cen-
a and other vessels touching at the port, and not requiring to enter
s
the dock.
The Millbay branch of the South Devon Railway is designed to
extend along the sides of the dock, so that the embarkation and
landing and removal of goods can be conducted without the expense
of cartage, and with the greatest facility.

ing and the undertakadditional force from considering the identity of interests between a
company formed for the purpose of this
power-
ful combination of railway interests which have been so successfully
engaged in promoting the South Devon line, and to whom the in-
grease of traffic with the port is manifestly of the greatest im-
portance.
Provisional agreements have been concluded for purchasing nearly
the whole of the land required for the undertaking, the consideration
being made payable, in great part, in the form of annual rent-
charges, secured en the property of the Company. This arrange-
ment, and a careful revision of the estimates, have enabled the Com-
mittee to make a considerable reduction in the amount of the pro-
posed capital.
An Act of Incorporation will be applied for in the ensuing session
of Parliament, and as the Committee have complied with all the re-
quirements of the standing orders, and entertain no doubt that the
application will be successtlll, they feel justified in engaging that if,
from any unforseen circumstance, the Bill should fail to be carried,
the shareholders shall be entitled to receive back their deposits,
without any deduction for expenses.
Power will be sought by the Act to allow interest at 41. per cent.
on the deposit and all paid up calls, until the opening of the dock, and
no subscriber will incur liability beyond the amount of his sub-
scription.
Applications for shares in the form subjoined (accompanied by a
satisfactory reference where the parties are not personally known to
members of the Provisional Committee), may be addressed to the
solicitors, or to the following sharebrokers :—Messrs. Westropp,
Princep, and Method°, 75, Old Broad-street; Messrs. Sutton, Grib-

Company, on the terms and conditions of the prospectus, and I

LOW RATES OF PREMIUM.
In addition to the subscribed Capital of 300,000/., the Assured have
the security of the Company's rapidly increasing income, and an
accumulating Assurance Fund invested in Government and other
available securities, of considerably larger amount than the esti-
mated liabilities of the Company.
The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale compatible
with the security of the Assured and the stability of the Company,
thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an immediate and
certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently
delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits.

composed of the purest Llama wool. The fleece of this singular
animal is naturally repellent of water, yet is amply porous to admit
a due escape of bodily heat, and is allowed to be lighter, softer, more
durable, and more elastic, than any other description of cloth.
Registered Paletots of this fabric, in colours black, blue, brown,
olive, Oxford grey, &c., are to be had of their recognised agents in
the country, and in London only at the extensive ware-rooms of
the Patentees, who are tailors to the Court, and makers of the most
fashionable plain dress garments, with Foreign and British diplo-
matic and regimental uniforms. In these the same spirit for mo-
derate prices is maintained as exemplified by the Registered Paletot.
The patronage so generally bestowed on this patented invention,
has induced some unprincipled persons an attempt the fraudelent
imposition of assuming a similarity of name; being an attempt to
deceive the public with some trashy substitute. A reward of Fifty
Pounds is offered for the actual detection of an infringement.
Messrs. Nicoll think it due to their own reputation thus respect-
fully to cantion the Public, and to request a close observance of the
address, and that each Registered Paletot is distinctly marked on the
inside, H. I. and D. NICOLL, 114, Regent-street, London.

ROWLAND'S KALYDOR, en eminently
balsamic preparation, is equally celebrated for its safety in
application, as for its mild and soothing operation, in thoroughly
purifying the skin of all redness, pimples, spots, freckles, tan, and
discolourations ; producing a healthy freshness and transparency of
complexion ; and an admired softness and delicacy on the hands,
arms, and neck I
In cases of chilblains, chapped skin, or incidental inflammation, it
is pre-eminently successful, and gentlemen after shaving will end it
allay all irritation and tenderness of the skin, and render it soft,
smooth, and pleasant. Balmy, odoriferous, and creamy, its purifying
and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by the
Court and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those of the Cont-
inent of Europe, together with the " elide" of the aristocracy, and
"haute volee."

Its high reputation induces unprincipled shopkeepers to offer the
Spurious " Kalydors" for sale, composed of mineral astringents,
utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action en-
dangering health. It is, therefore, imperative on purchasers to see
that the words "Rowland's Kalydor" are on the envelope (an en-
graving of exquisite beauty from a steel plate by Messrs. Perkins,
Bacon, and Co.) and that A. ROWLAND and SON, 21, Hatton-
garden, are engraved (by authority) on the Government Stamp affixed
on each bottle. Price 4s. 6d. and Ss. 6d. per bottle. Sold by the
Proprietors, and by chemists and perfumers.

"Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto
neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the
medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are
concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere
routine practitioner would never dream of finding them ; traceable
to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal
sorings of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Wakefield

RED HILL CHURCH.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR—Your paper of Thursday, the 22d January last,
contained a most exaggerated account of the damage
done to the church at Red Hill, by the gale of the pre-
ceding Monday night ; and I shall feel greatly obliged,
if you will, at your earliest convenience, introduce the
following statement of facts, for the truth of which I can
vouch, as I have recently had an opportunity of examin-
ing the building.
Instead of part of the steeple having fallen down, one
stone from the upper part of a pinnacle to a buttress
was dislodged by the violence of the wind ; and, instead
of the injury occasioned by the falling of this stone,
being of such a nature as to render it uncertain when
the building can again be used for the performance of
Divine worship, the damage was repaired at a cost of
three pounds ten shillings, and the performance of
Divine worship neither has been or will be prevented
for a single day. I have the honour to be, Sir, your
very obedient servant,
JAMES THOMAS KNOWLES.

INSURANCES FROM FIRE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—It is a matter of surprise to me, and no doubt to
many others, that among the numerous and various articles
from which the duties are proposed to be reduced or removed
for the benefit of the community, one alone (if I mistake not)
remains entirely unnoticed, or perhaps not intended to be so
removed-4 mean that most unjustifiable and heavy tax on
insurances from fire, Surely, if the insurance offices are
willing to afford protection from so destructive an element,
on the lowest possible terms, it is but right and reasonable
to expect that, among the many otherreductions or removal
of duties, the entire reduction of this most pernicious tax
may be one of the first from which the public (the agricul-
turist particularly) will or may derive a realbenefit. Millions
of property are sacrificed as a consequence, and thousands
of persons annually incur the desperate risk rather than pay
the enormous duty.
Should this important subject, therefore, not have been
already noticed, perhaps you will do me the favour to insert
this in your paper.—l am, Sir, respectfully yours,
J. CRAMPHORN.

TO THE FRIENDS OF NATIVE
INDUSTRY IN GREAT BRITAIN AND
IRELAND.

(From the Morning Post.)
Chevening, near Sevenoaks, Jan. 29.
Friends and fellow-countrymen--On your conduct
at the present crisis may depend the happiness or the
misery, the prosperity or the adversity, of our country ;
and I therefore think it my uuty to address you on the
protection of native industry, which is most interesting
and important to all classes of the community, and which
cannot be secured without your energetic and united ex-
ertions. I feel the more entitled to address you as I be-
long to no political party, as I wish for nothing that any
Minister could bestow, as I have no motives of personal
ambition, and as I am animated by an ardent zeal for
the public welfare.

Full and effectual protection to our native industry
may most justly be claimed by all those who are en-
gaged in any of its various branches, and especially in
agriculture, on account of the exclusive burdens which it
bears, and of the paramount importance of providing
food for the population without being dependent upon
foreign supplies. Under the protection which was
given to agriculture, the produce of the soil has been
very much increased by extending and improving its
cultivation, and the manufacturers have flourished ; for
the home market is still to them the most valuable, as
well as the most secure. There are still in these islands
several millions of acres of waste land, which, if agri-
culture were sufficiently protected, might be cultivated
with advantage, and give much additional employment to
labourers, but which must otherwise remain unproductive
and unprofitable.
If protection should be withwrawn from agriculture,
this country would depend for the chief necessaries of
life on the supplies which foreign nations might be able
or willing to furnish ; the cultivation of the land would
be discouraged ; the markets would be scantily pro-
vided with its produce ; and, in the event of unfavour-
able seasons, we might be exposed to all the horrors of
actual famine. There is at present no reason whatever
to apprehend even a scarcity, for, although there is in
some districts a deficiency in the crop of potatoes, it is
well known, and it has been proved by exact inquiries,
that there exists an abundance of food in these islands,
perhaps a greater abundance than is now to be foiuld in
some foreign countries. If, however, this conjit,rgeF-
perienced a scarcity of corn, the prices would rise, And:
the duties on its importation would fall till they were
reduced to ls. per quarter.
The arguments (if such, indeed, they can be called)
which are used in favour of a free.trade in corn, would
apply also to every other article of general consumption,
to the produce of pastures as well asof arable land, and
to manufactured goods, whether they are made lay
machinery or by manual labour, and the industry of our
own countrymen, in whatever mode it is employed, would
be much depressed, and, in many cases, utterly destroyed,
while that of foreign nations would be encouraged.
Great indignation would very justly be excited, if
foreign labourers or artisans were to be brought to
this country, because they might work for lower wages,
and it is obvious that they would deprive of employment
an equal number of our own countrymen. The same in-
jury would be inflicted on our own labourers and artisans
by the adoption of free trade, and the foreigners by whom
we should be supplied contribute nothing to the taxes
which we pay upon so many articles of consumption.
The effects of free trade, as far as it has hitherto been
extended, have already been found to be most melan-
choly, by the impoverishment of so many of our artisans.
whose skill and industry have become unprofitable to
them, as they are now undersold by foreigners in our
own markets, and have thus been deprived of employ-
ment and of the means of subsistence. The adoption of
free trade in its full extent would bring ruin on all the
industrious classes, many of whom might be driven from
their native soil, while others might be confined in union
workhouses. Property of every description would be
insecure, destitution would produce despair, disaffection
might become universal, and the inevitable result would
be anarchy and revolution.
It is your duty to consider whether you will allow this
country to be exposed to such awful calamities and con-
vulsions, or whether you will avert them by protecting
the rights and promoting the interests of all those who
are engaged in native industry—whether you will tole-
rate the new-fangled and mischievous doctrines of free
trade, or whether you will insist upon restoring the po-
licy of our ancestors, which gave such prosperity and
power to the British empire. If this country is to be
governed upon the principles of free trade, they must
be applied in their fullest extent, for any exceptions from
them would be an intolerable injustice, and they cannot
be thus applied without reducing our taxation and our
prices
cessary effect of a free competition with foreigners in the
home market would be to impoverish all classes of the
community, and to lower the wages of labour as well as
the profits of trade.
If, on the contrary, you are determined to discharge
your duty by demanding full and effectual protection
to all the industrious classes—if you will show any por-
tion of that patriotism and public spirit which were dis-
played in former periods of our history, you will, upon
this occasion, act without any reference to past politics,
for you are aware that in both political parties there are
to be found friends of native industry. You should not,
however, :be
,satisfied with vague and general profes-
sions, and you should not bestow your confidence on
any individual who will not give those distinct and posi-
tive pl dges which you have an undoubted right to ask,
and which no honest man ought to hesitate in granting.
You should confide only in those persons on whose in-
tegrity you can entirely rely, and you should, without
regard to rank, or wealth, or local influence, employ in
your service those persons whose talents enable them
to defend your rights, from whatever quarter
they may be assailed. Act, as it is your bounden duty
to do, with energy and union, with the courage and
constancy which are worthy of the cause, and your
triumph is secure, for you will be supported by immense
and overwhelming majorities in all the industrial classes,
all of whom have a common interest in opposing the'
progress of free trade. lam firmly convinced that on
this question the greatest possible unanimity prevails
amongst all the labouring classes, who are not only the
most numerous, but also the most valuable to the state,
and they ought to be fully represented in the House of
Commons.
That you may have the happiness and honour of avert-
ing from our country the ruin and revolution which would
be the results of free trade, and that your zealous exer-
tions in the cause of native industry may be crowned
with complete success, is the fervent prayer of your
very faithful friend, STANHOPE.

A DEEP TRICIE.—A few days ago a young woman,
apparently about twenty-five years of age, of short stature,
and innocent looking, went into a haberdasher's shop in New-
town-row, and asked for a pair of black stockings, which
were ticketed in the window at ls. 6d. The stockings were
handed to her, and after a careful examination she tendered
a half-sovereign in payment. The half-sovereign was
weighed, pronounced to be good, and the change, amongst
which were two half-crown pieces, duly handed to the pur-
chaser. The woman counted the change over and over, and
at length said she was sixpence short, and on the shopkeeper
endeavouring to explain, she said she thought the ticket only
said one shilling, and pretending to be offended at what she
termed an imposition on poor people who worked hard for
their money, she then put down the change, and insisted
upon having her half-sovereign back. The shopkeeper,
somewhat nettled in her turn, returned her the money, with
an observation that she had little to thank her for, which
indeed was the case, for, on looking over the change previous
to replacing it in the drawer, she found that her artful and
unprofitable customer, who had quitted the shop, had sub-
stituted a bad half-crown for a good one, with which she had
got clear away. The poor haberdasher had taken her first
lesson in what is called " ringing the changes."—Nottingbant
