CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.
In referee _ie to the recent debate in the House of Commons
on the withdrawal of the Edinburgh and Glasgow and Caie-
,dOnian Railway Amalgamation Bill, the Caledonian Directors feel
a duty to state that they are in no wise responsible f>r its details.
Xhey would have approved of the principle of amalgamation, if on
ticinallterms, am? knowing the absolute necusity of reducing the
tount of guarantee-.. they desire the power to obtain
Yarliamcn-
rY sanction during this sestiion, in case all parties should concur.
, he terms of modification ought to In.ve been heft blank, in order
mbe filled up by arrangement. The Caledonian Beard never would
have sanctioned the measure suggested in the Mill against their pre-
ference shares, as evinced by their recent election of Mr. Wheeler as
a director, who holds a large amount of that stock. The loss
(f the means of procuring legislative sanction to some arrange-
Ments this session, may prove most injurious to all hearties.

catheter through an impermeable stricture is, without doubt, the
