R: GARDNER'S WORM MEDICINE.
It is Ti melancholy fact that thousands are suffering the pri-
.l—.."
Vtaloll of health, and arc ultimately brought to a premature death by
a ca.; se so prevalent as that of worms in the human body.
It is proved by the bills of mortality that one-half of the children
horn are cut off before attaining their seventh year. The source of
this fearful mortality is found to exist in that lout state of the rl cmach
and bowels which children are so liable to, and predates the genera-
tion of Worms. The four mosticommon species are—
ASCARIDE:i VERMICULARIS, commonly called Maw or
Thread Wbrui, is about half-an-inch in length, and the Viickness
of a, thread. They infest every part of the alimentary canal, but
principally the lower extremity of the bowels, occasioning pain.
Their increase is most rapid; and the number existing in one
individual is often incredible, and this in persons of all ages.
TIZICIJRI* VULGARIS, or long Thread Worm, is about two
inches in length, and tapers downfrom the head to the tail ; they
are not so common as the former. These also .infest the whole ali-
mentary &anal, and are equally tormenting.

TERES LU:NIIIRICOIDES, or long round Worms, are generally
from 4 to 12 inches in length, of the substance of a
These exist hi the regions of the stomach, causing sickness, bile, fla-_
tulence, with headache.
TIE IA OSCULIS MARGINALIBES, or Tape Worm. The dis-
tinguishing character of this species consists in the oscula, or mouths,
being situated upon the margin of each joint, which is flat. They
vary in breadth, and also in length from 6 to 170 yards, and the
joints decrease in all cases as they, approach the head. Extraordi-
nary specimens of the tribe have been exhibited at the Museum of
the late Dr. Gardner, to the astonishment of thousands who have
witnessed them.

This celebiated mediCino has stood the test of half a century's ex-
perience, effectually destroying every kind of Worms, and ma oving
all impurities from the stomach and bowels, by invigorating which.
Worms are not only expelled,_ but their generation prevented ; and
may be administered with confidence to children, or the most debili-
tated adult, without restraint in diet or confinement.

terday morning, followed by a dockyard lighter to
bring on shore the valuable freight brought home by

where the treasure will be landed, and from thence it
will be taken to the Landport terminus, and go by
the South Coast line and be delivered at the Bank by

The Inconstant was to proceed to Devonport last
night to be paid off.
Volage, surveying-vessel, Commander Graves, ar-
rived at Portsmouth from the Mediterranean, on
Monday evening, coming up to Spithead through the
Needles ; she has brought home some invalids from

morning, and the Volage proceeded to Sheerness to

Sheerness, to the Ocean, 80, flag-ship, at Sheerness;
David L. Morgan (1846), from the Cumberland, 70,

Commodore Christopher Wyvill, flag officer at the
Cape of Good Hope, to be paymaster and purser.
The Austrian frigate still remains at Shithead, and
the Russian and Turkish vessels of war are in the
harbour at Portsmouth.

An erroneous statement having appeared that the
assistant-surgeon of her Majesty's ship Vengeance,
84, at Portsmouth, had not been allowed a cabin, it is
but justice to her gallant commander to state that the
assistant-surgeon was actually admitted to the ward-
room before he was entitled, as he had not at the
time passed, and he also has, and has had, a cabin in
the after cockpit. He is at present on leave.

the gallant commander of the Prince Albert during
her recent interesting voyage to the Arctic regions,

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.

We have much pleasure in laying before our
readers the following official document, which strongly
confirms the view we have taken of the equity of the
terms provisionally agreed upon between the direc-
tors of the Great Western and South Wales Compa-
nies, for the lease of the line of the latter to the first-
named cbrporation

" London Terminus, Paddington,
Nov. 26, 1850. •

" The directors of the Great Western Railway
Company having been requested by several proprietors
to publish the grounds upon which the proposed
agreement with the South Wales Railway Company
has been framed, think it advisable to print a letter
which was received by their chairman from Mr.
Brunel in September last, as explaining accurately
the objects and intentions of that agreement."
" 18, Duke-street, *Westminster,
Sept. 16, 1850.
"My dear Sir,—l stated to the South Wales Board
on Friday last, that I had for the interest, as I be-
lieved, of the . South Wales Railway Company, as
well as that of the Great Western Railway Company,
requested the Great Western board to defer for an-
other week any answer to the application of the South
Wales Railway Company for the assent, without preju-
dice, of your board to the deviations and alterations of
works which I had advised to be desirable. I did'
this in the hope (although I felt the absolute neces-
sity of a speedy determination of the question) of
preventing a still wider breach, and hoping that in
the meantime I might bring about some fresh nego-
tiation between two companies for the modification of
the lease. I have accordingly suggested to the
South 'Wales board a somewhat different principle of
leasing from that which has hitherto been discussed,
and which may possibly remove some of the difficul-
ties which appear to have prevented your agreement,
and I now submit the same plan for your consider-
ation. I need not repeat here the arguments by which
I have repeatedly attempted to press upon you my
view of the great importance to the Great Western
Railway Company, as well as the South Wales
Railway Company, of an amicable adjustment of their
differences, and a cessation of the present most in-
jurious state of affairs, alike ruinous, as I believe, to
both parties. lam afraid that I have displayed great
want of ability in placing these arguments and these
views before you. I feel that I have been unable to
induce you to attach anything like the weight to
them that I believe they merit, but I believe that
you are nevertheless desirous of effecting what you
may consider a fair arrangement, and therefore,
without wearying you with any further discussion on
the subject, I will at once state my plan.
"I have assumed that the recent proposals of the
two companies, although differing in amount, admitted
the same principle—namely, that the Great Wes-
tern Railway Company were prepared to give, and
the South Wales of course desirous of receiving, the
whole of the profits up to 100,0001. or 120,0001. per
annum, that could be made by the Great Western
Railway Company fairly working the line up to
Swansea ; but that, on the one hand, the Great
Western Railway Company were unwilling to saddle
themselves with too large a fixed minimum annual
charge, irrespective of profits, while, on the other
hand, the South Wales Railway Company looked
upon the surplus profits as, to say the least, a very
doubtful contingency, and, therefore, calculated their
receipts as likely to be only those of the fixed mini-
mum rental ; and there is no doubt that they were
very much justified in this view, as, if the Great
Western Railway Company had no interest whatever
,in increasing their surplus'pYbfits, they could not be
expected to make any sacrifice to increase them ; and
without the usual exertions, involving speculations
and occasional sacrifices, these profits would be less
than doubtful. Under these circumstances, I confess
I was aimost surprised at the comparatively near ap-
,proximation of the tvo in thellate attempts to fix the
aMdunt•Of guaranteed of mininium rentals ; but this
approximation convinces me that both parties are
really desirous to effect the arrangement, and that
some inherent defect in the principle on which you
proceeded alone prevented a satisfactory conclusion.
" The plan I have to propose removes, to a great
extent, the main objection—namely the absence of a
common interest iu the increase of the amount of
profits.
"I would substitute for the vague and undefined
and disputable term, surplus profit,' a fixed and de-
fined rateable payment, compounded of such a tollage
upon passengers and goods and minerals respectively,
and such a per-tentage of gross receipts on each of
these branches of traffic, as should together represent
fairly and safely the probable profits on any given
amount of trade. lam quite aware of the extent of
the difficulty which attends this adjustment, but I
cannot see the impossibility of doing it. I think that
a sufficiently near approximation may be arrived at of
the probable rates to be charged to the public, and of
the probable expense of working that traffic, and that
by allotting a portion in the shape of a fixed toll or
charge, payable to the South Wales, and a fixed allow-
ance payable to the Great Western Railway. Company,
to meet some of the less variable expenses, and di-
viding the rest into certain proportions between
the two companies, a very near approach indeed
may. be made to a fair apportionment of the receipts,
the clear profits going to the South Wales Railway
Company, and the expenses with some margin to cover
risks to the Great Western Railway Company. I
would then commute or sell to the Great Western
Railway Company a share, say a quarter, a third, or
a half, of these estimated profits for a fixed rental,
and this is the main feature of my plan; the interest
of the lessees would thus become identical with those
of the lessors fully to the extent of this share over and
above their interests as general shareholders in in-
creasing the gross profits of the line, and they would
be also interested slightly to the whole extent, as I
assume that the tolls and per-centages would have
some profit even upon the remainder, and that the
South Wales Railway Company might calculate upon
the line being advantageously worked, and upon re-
ceiving the whole, or nearly the whole, of the profits,
while at the same time the amount of fixed rental to
which the Great Western Railway Company would
become liable would be limited, and be more or less,
according to the share purchased, but at all events
considerably within what has been proposed on either
side.
" A power of revision by arbitration at certain
periods might also be reserved, the principle upon
which such revision is to be made being clearly de-
fined.

"If I am correct in assuming that the principle is
mutually agreed upon, that the Great Western Rail-
way Company is to work the line to the best of their
ability for the benefit of the property as if it were
their own—that they are to repay themselves com-
pletely for the cost of doing so—and the profits up to
a certain amount are to belong to the South Wales
Railway Company; and if after settling this the
Great Western Railway Company are willing to pur-
chase a certain share of there profits for a fixed sum,
in which there could not be much risk, I
ido not be-
lieve that there would be any difficulty n fixing a
rate of tolls and per-centages in the man.ner I have
suggested that should carry out that principle. At
all events the plan has the advantage, and no mean
