building which your Royal Commission proposes
51
erect f:,r the purposes of the Grand Exhibition of 15
is not to be a lasting "encumbrance," humbly to sod
gest that your Royal Commission may take it into i°
consideration to erect such a building as may, aftef:l4

.0
may take smith measures as may afterwards be neeein.

ing my proposal, you will reconcile any opposition
tt,
the proposed site of the building, and the private
scriptions now being raised for the purposes of f,t
Royal Commission will be largely increased by till/oi

epoch in the history of our country.

CADVERTISEMENT.)—A Dangerous Wound in thil
Thigh cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—About three
years ago Mr. Acton, of Melbourne, had his thigh fearfull!
lacerated when out riding, his horse running away and his leg
coming in collision with a wall; he was confined to his bed f°r
nearly eighteen months, suffering from the accident, and not'
withstanding the beat medical advice, every effort proved 0'
successful in healing the wound, and his health became so its'
paired that his life was despaired of ; in this state he coo;
silenced the use of Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which had
the effect of healing the wound with wonderful rapidity .and
restoring hire to sound health.—Sold by all druggists, and i°
Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
'Flu FIFE MAlLS.—The'Post-office authorities, WO,
hear, have all but intimated that they do not intend to insist
upon the ridiculous terms to which we alluded in our last"
It may, therefore, be almost held as .settled that the convey'
ante of the mail will ha resumed as usual on Saturday neX,r
by the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway—the under'
standing being that, if the Post-office authorities shall b°
unsuccessful in the action about to be raised, the amount U,
remuneration for carrying the mail up to the time of the dfi:
cision is to be settled by arbitration; but, if successful, that
then, of course, the renauneratiou to be received by the cosi'
piny shall be that which the Post-office now offer in respect '
of the claim they have preferred, namely, a second-class fare
for every time that the mail guards travel along the
Scotsman.
