ABERDEEN RAILWAY.—At a public MEET-
ING of the Inhabitants of Montrose and of Landed Gentle-
men in the neighbourhood, held In the Town-hall of Montrose, on
31onday, the 18th of November, 1844,
WILLIAM JAMESON, Esq., Provost, in the chair,
The Chairman having stated the object of the Meeting, and various
Gentlemen having expressed their views re arding the importance of
the proposed line of railway from Aberdeen southward, the following
resolutions were unanhnously adopted :-
1. That this Meeting are deeply impressed with the great advan-
tages that would arise from the town of Montrose and the adjoining
landward district being united by lines of railway with the city of
Aberdeen on the north, and the towns of Dundee, Arbroath, Brechin,
and Forfar, on the south and west, and of thus obtaining the benefit
of any lines of railway connecting these towns with other parts of the
kingdom.

" Mrs. Chandler, Yarmouth—per rail—left free "
written outside on it. The inside of the card had
the address of Copewan and Son, Norwich. As soon
as Mr. Dick had taken the bag out of the hole, a
man named Royal, a fish-dealer, came up, and said,
according to Mr. Dick's account, " There is more
in the hole—let us feel ;" and suiting the action to
the word, he put his hand into the hole, and pulled
out a small bag containing some gold and silver money.
Mr. Dick further states that Royal said, " There
ought to be a cheque too, and, feeling the bag, he
said here it is." He wanted to take the money and
count it. Mr. Dick insisted that nothing of the kind
should be done till they took the bags to the station-
house. Royal then accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Dick
to the station-house, and from their account, as above
given, Royal was detained on suspicion, he being
known to the police as the companion to a gang of
thieves in the town. Some of this gang, named
Jeremiah Cooper, James Hall, James Hubbard, and
Samuel Layton, alias Belcher, were immediately
taken into custody, and underwent a strictly private
examination before the magistrates at the gaol, in
front of which an unusual crowd of people had aasem-
bled during the day, anxious to learn the result of
the inquiry, which had not transpired when this re-
port was sent off.

Th• DIRECTORS of the BRIGHTON and CHICHESTER
RAILWAY COMPANY, with the sanction of their proprietors,
have caused surveys to be made, and are taking the requisite mea.
sures to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session for powers to
extend their line to Portsmouth (with a branch therefrom to unite
with the South-Western Railway at Fareham), in order to corn.
plete the coast line of railway from Brighton to Portsmouth, which,
with a railway now making from Brighten to Hastings, and a conti-
nuation thereof, projected from thence to unite with the South.
Eastern Railway at or near Aahferd, will complete a line of coast
railway from Dover to Portsmouth.
The distance from Chichester to Portsmouth is about sixteen
miles, and the branch to Fareham about seven miles, making toge-
ther twenty-three miles; the country is well adapted, and offers no
engineering difficulties, to the formation of a railway ; and the
proposed extension was always looked to by the promoters of the
Brighton and Chichester Railway as an object to be carried out by
them, as they foresaw that they must, in going to Chichester, sur-
mount the chief difficulties in forming a coast line by crossing the
two navigable tidal rivers the Adur and the Arun.

2. That as the projected line of railvray from Aberdeen southward
passing along the coast, with a branch from Dubton to the Wet
Dock or Harbour of Montrose, besides affording every prospect of a
profitable return, accomplishes these imp scant objects, this Meeting
do cordially approve thereof, and resolve to support the same, and
to strengthen the hands of the promoters by every available means.
3. That this Meeting do respectfully and earnestly recommend to
the Magistrates and Town Council of Montrose, as representing the
community, to countenance and support the projected line of railway,
and to afford every facility for its construction, and further to request
Joseph Hume, Esq., M.P. for the Burghs, to support the measure in
Parliament as one of vital importance to the commercial and agri-
cultural interests of the district.
4. That a Committee of this Meeting, consisting of the following
gentlemen, viz., the movers and:seconders of the various resolutions,
with the addition of Messrs. Patrick Mason, It. Hunter, banker, and
J. M. Paton and C. 11. Millar, merchants, and Adam Burnes, writer,
be named, to co-operate with the Town Council of Montrose, or
any Committee of their number, in watching over the progress of the
measure.

One of the leading characteristics of the Society is, the liberal,
punctual, and simple manner in which the claims are settled,
combined with the very great care bestowed by the Directors (with
the advice and assistance of the medical officers) in the selection
of lives. Instead of affording every facility to parties to join
the Society, and afterwards throwing all manner of unnecessary
obstacles in the way of settlement when the claim emerges, the
Directors proceed upon the opposite principle of being most eau-
tious and particular in their inquiries before admitting them mem.
hers to the benefits of the Society; but after being admitted they
are entitled to all the advantages which the Society affords to each
class of insured respectively, and when the claim emerges, no un-
due delay takes place, and no difficulties which can be avoided are
interposed to prevent an easy and expeditious settlement.
Forms of proposals and every necessary information may be ob-
tained at the head office, Edinburgh, 5, St. Andrew-square; or at
any of the Society's agencies.—Edinburgh, October, 1844.
JOHN MACKENZIE, Manager.
OFFICE IN LONDON, 7, PALL-MALL

The Directors of the Brighton and Chichester Railway Com.
pany have well considered the various projects for the formation of
railways to Portsmouth, by routes between the London and
Brighton and the South-Western Railways; and they feel con-
vinced that, whichever line may be sanctioned by Parliament, the
extension of the Chichester line to Portsmouth and Fareham can-
not fail to protect the interest of the Proprietors of the Brighton
and Chichester line.

4,Z IR W. BURNETT'S PATENT
Ly The cheapest and best process for the Preseryation of Timber,
Canyas, Cordage, Cotton, Woollen &c.
Licenses granted to Noblemen and Gentlemen to use the Prepara-
tion ; and to others for the purposes of Trade, en advantageous,
terms.

The execution of the works, with a double line of rails, in-
cluding Parliamentary and all other expenses, will cost 280,0004
according to an estimate made by Mr. Itastricks, the engineer of the
Company,

It was then resolved to publish these resolutions in the North
British Advertiser and Montrose newspapers, and the thanks of the
Meeting having been unanimously voted to Provost Jameson for
his conduct in the chair, the meeting separated.

On Tuesday, at twelve o'clock, an inquest was held
before Mr. A. Woods, deputy coroner for the borough,
on view of the body. A respectable jury had been
summoned, consisting of eighteen persons. After
viewing the body, which presented a frightful spec-
tacle, they re-assembled at the police court at the
Town-hall, and continued their inquiry for six hours.
Seven witnesses were examined, who deposed to the
facts above stated, and the jury, after a short delibe-
ration, returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against
some person or persons unknown."

WM. JAMESON, Provost.

It is intended to take powers in the Act to let on lease or sell
the Extension Line, when made, either to the London and Brighton
Railway Company, to the South-Western Railway Company, or to
any other Company or party, should any such arrangement be
deemed advantageous to the Shareholders.
The Directors have great satisfaction in stating, that they have
received from the inhabitants of Portsmouth strong assurances of
their approbation of the proposed extension being made by the
Brighton and Chichester Company, which was communicated to
them by the resolutions of a public meeting, held at Portsmouth,
upon the requisition of nearly 3,000 persons.
The opening of an extended coast line, taking over it, as this
line must do, the great proportion of the traffic from London to
Portsmouth, will ensure such an extensive revenue that a return
must be produced sufficient to pay a very satisfactory interest upon
the capital subscribed.
The Directors have submitted their views, es regards the pro.
posed extension, to the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council
for Trade, and fully expect that the strength and justice of their
case will ensure a favourable report from their Lordships, the ap-
proval of the Government and the public, and the sanction of Par.
liament.

the above materials, at the principal station Millwall, Poplar, nearly

"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
conccale3 causes of Nervous Debility la exigence, where the mere
routine practitioner would never dream •f finding them ; trace-sole
to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and I goal
springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Wakefield

We regard the work before us, The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series sf com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.
We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer-
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."
Age and Argus.
" The Authors of ' The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to
those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot
fail to recemmend it to a careful perusal."—Era.
