CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.
In reference to the reeent debate In the House of Commons
on the withdrawal of the Edinburgh and Glasg >w and Cale-
donian Railway Amalgamation Bill, the Caledonian Directors feel
I t a duty to state that they are in no wise responsible for its details.
They would have approved of the principle of amalgamation, if on
equal terms, and knowing the absolute necessity of reducing the
amount of guarantees, they desire the power to obtain Yarliamen-
tery sanction during this serien, in case all parties should concur.
The terms of modification ought to have been left blank, In order
to be filled up by arrangement. The Caledonian Board never would
have sanctioned the measure suggested in the Bill against their pre-
arence shares. as evinced by their recent election of Mr. Wheeler as
director, who holds a large amount of that stock. The loss
of the means of procuring legislative sanction to same arrange-
ments this session, may prove raost itijurieus to all parties.

G REGENERATOR.
It you are in want •f that beautiful adornment of the human
Stare, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or
of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer. an 11..
bottle of Grimstene's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential
spirit, drawn item aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her-
bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and
gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too
numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his
pamphlet, in which the bottles are mclosed.
Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant,
Ilerbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of
Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th
of August, 1846.
This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, on receiving two
postage stamps.
The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on
receiving a post-oflice order for 4s. 6d., 7s. Bd., or Its., which in-
cludes the postage with the case.
The lis. size contains four of the 45.
A few uf bet viitues, as thousands can prove, are published
In the pamp enclosed with each bottle.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age,
you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your
walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was
the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re-
moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward,
clear-sighted people (the climate is the same)? I'll tell you the cause
—the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff and because it cured
Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Catartet, Nervous Headach, and Deaf-
Ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi-
cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67
cases of cure being preyed by the informers, still it was a
esact
sq.,
of
oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Syk E
altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order ofries the Lords of
the Treasury ; the letter of protection, signed by
Her,
Mr. William Grimstexe, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was
ox account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time ix canis-
ters, within the reach of every poor family. But ander this order of
Government it is obliged to be stamped.
