ALEDONIAN RAILWAY.
C In reference to the recent debate in the House of Commons
on the withdrawal of the Edinburgh and Giasg iw and Cale-
donian Railway Amalgamation Bill, the Caledonian Directors feel
It a duty to state that they are in no wise responsible for its details.
They would have approved of the principle of amalgamation, on
*qual terms, and knowing the absolute necessity of educing( the
amount of guarantees, they desire the power to obtain Parliamen-
tary sanction during this ses-ien, in case all parties should concur.
Tbe terms of modification ought to have been loft blank, in order
to he filled up by arrangement. The Caledonian litiard never would
have sanctioned the measure suggested in the Bill against their pre.
Terence shares, as evinced by their recent election of Mr. Wheeler as
a director, who holds a large amount of that stock. The loss
of the means of procuring legislative 'sanction to acme arrange-
ments this session, may prove most injurious to all parties.

REGENERATOR.
If you are in want of that beautiful adornment of the human
Agare, 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. Thls is an essential
spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her-
fiery, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and
gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its m ves, too
numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his
pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed.
Eack pamphlet has the signature of William Grlmstone, Merchaitt,
lierbary, 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 pest, en receiving two
postage stamps.
The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on
receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. Bd., er Use., which in-
cludes the postage with the case.
The Ils. size contains four of the 4s.
A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published
In the pamphlet enclosed with bottle.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of agar
you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in yonr
walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was
tie demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re-
moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward,
dear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause
—the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff ! end because it cured
Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Oatanct, Nervous Ileadach, and Deaf-
ness, the Lords of the Treasury
directed it to be denominated a medi-
cine, and to being stmped. Although this advanced its character, 67
cases of cure beg preyed by the informers, still it was an act of
oppression ; as in 1525 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq.,
altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under orderßerries of the Lords of
the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by —, to
Mr. William Grimsteue, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was
