The Caledonian Railway has been recommended by the Board of
Trade as the best trunk communication through Scotland, and may
confiden ly be expected to receive the sanction of Parliament in the
present session.
The proposed Extensions are as follows—first, from a point on the
Caledonian Railway, near Lanark, eastward, along the valley of the
Tweed, by Peebles, Galashiels, and Melrose, to Kelso, where it has
been arranged with Mr. Hudson that a joint station will be formed
with the Newcastle and Berwick Company; and secondly, west-
ward, by Muirkirk to Ayr and Kilmarnock.
A direct communication, northwards and southwards, by means of
the trunk line, will thus be secured to those important districts, the
expediency of which has been pointed out by the Board of Trade,
for the full development of the Caledonian system.
Numerous and influential meetings have been already held in those
important districts, loudly calling for railway accommodation, and
offering every facility and support.
The Extension to the east will accommodate the richest agricul-
tural districts in Scotland with timber, slate, coal, lime, and other
minerals, in all which articles they arc in themselves wholly desti-
tute ; while the Western Extension of the Caledonian, as well as the
trunk line, intersect tracts of country remarkable for their mineral
resources, but requiring a supply of agricultural produce ftom the
east, for the immense population engaged in manufactures and mines.
When Mr. Telford made a survey of a line from Glasgow to
Kelso and Berwick, in 1810, being the first projected railway in Scot-
land, he reported that "it night be easily and cheaply made," and
that " no districts can be better calculated for an interchange of pro-
duce, and for promoting each other's prosperity."
He further rer,arks that " The whole distance from Berwick to
the water summit being 77% miles, and the total rise 753 feet (which
Is considerably higher than the summit now proposed to be passed
over), the average inclination is under 10 feet iu a mile, or 1 in 528.
" Inclinations so very easy over such extensive districts of country
will enable the intercourse by means of railway to be carried on in
both directions at a comparatively small expense, and it whl appear
still more perfect when it is considered that the heavy articles of coal
and lime are all to be passed downwards."
The Western Extension will form the shortest and most direct
communication from Edinburgh to Kilmarnock and the seaport towns
of Ayr and Troon, and thence to Ireland.
The Glasgow, Dumfries and Carlisle scheme, which has been re-
ported against by the Board of Trade, proposed partially to open up
the resources of Ayrshire, but afforded no access from thence to
Lanark and Edinburgh, or to Kelso, and Berwick, whilst the Cale-
donian Extension Railway, in fulfilment of the anticipations of the
Board of Trade, will accomplish all these objects, and at the same
time afford an equally good route southwards.

TIIIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their Deed
of Constitution not to dispute any policy unless they can prove that
it was obtained by fraud, and for this purpose the Company have, by
a clause in their Deed of Constitution, unhesitatingly deprived them-
selves of the power of objecting to any policy unless they undertake to
prove that it was obtained florn them by fraudulent misrepresentation.
TEAS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who give to the assured on the
mutual principle the whole of the mutual accumulations, and also
guarantee the sums assured.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay
the full amount of the policies, although the debts for which they
were effected shall have been liquidated before the claim arise.
THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in favour
of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured al-
though the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe.
BY THE HALF PREMIUM PLAN ONLY one-half of the lint
seven years' premium is required, the other half being payable at the
convenience of the assured, thus allowing a policy to be continued
for seven years, at one-half of the usual rate, or to be dropped at
one-half of the usual sacrifice.
Prospectuses and schedules are forwarded free of expense.

FOR BILE, INDIGESTION, AND DISORDERS OF THE
STOMACH AND LIVER.
DR. A. A. HARVEY, of Bath, formerly Sur..
geon in the East India Company's Service, recommends to
the Public his Family Pills.
The great benefits resulting from an efficacious household medicine
must be manifest to all. This medicine is not put forward as a cure
for every complaint, but in those cases of sudden and temporary ill-
ness so frequen•ly occurring in families, it will be found of singular
service, as its operation is extremely mild, as well as effectual.
The large and steadily Increasing sale of these Pills, princi-
pally from the recommendations of those who have expe-
rienced their salutary qualities, is the best proof of their ex-
cellence. A few doses will convince those suffering from Indi-
gestion, from whatever cause arising, that their effects are perma-
nent. They remove obstructions of the bowels ; act upon the kid-
neys, stimulating the absorbents to carry off those fluids which
might otherwise terminate in Dropsy. They bye teen found of
infinite service, both in England and during Dr. Harvey's practice in
the East Indies, in preventing and caring the Jaundice • in passing
particularly beneficial both before and after their
off Gall Stones and restoring a healthy action to the Liver. Ladies

ILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive

planted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
ALBATA PLATE.

C. WATSON, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Folgate, aided by
a person of Science in the amalgamation of Metals, has succeeded in
bringing to Public Notice the most beautiful Article ever yet offered;
possessing all the richness of Silver in appearance, with all its dura-
bility and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in use, undergoing, as

it does, a Chemical Process, by which, all that is nauseous in mixed
Metals is entirely extracted—resisting all Acids—may be cleaned as
silver, and is manufactured into every Article for the Table and
Sideboard:—

" This is a remarkably moderate, able, and well-informed book.
The historical portions are clear and graphic ; the illustrations those
of a man of good reading, versed in practical affairs ; and the argu-
ment most fair and conciliatory. It embodies the rational and
thoughtful conclusions of a quiet, observant English gentleman, who
has taken the trouble to look into history, and honestly to state his
impressions."—Examiner._

C. WATSON begs the Public will understand that this Metal is
peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from Gold
than kis metal is il'om all others—on its intrinsic merit alone he
wishes it to be tested, and from the daily increasing enloglums he re-
ceives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming ay
article of universal wear.

PATENT PARAGON CAMPIIINE LAMPS.

The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has been
happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger
and a smaller forming a cone round the margin of the wick, which
cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus condensing
every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell,
having perfect combustion, and in full action, emits a light equal to
16 wax candles.

It was moved by the Earl of Eglintoun, seconded by Mr.
Fox Maule, and unanimously resolved—
" 1. That this meeting consider that experience has proved
that the present system of banking in Scotland is eminently
suited to the wants, and has adapted itself to the habits and
internal affairs, of every class of the people of that country ;
that the rapid increase of their wealth and prosperity is
mainly attributable to it, and that on its continuance they
greatly depend.
"2. That this meeting view with anxiety and alarm every
proposal to disturb a system of banking which, during the !
long period of its existence, has been productive of the most
beneficial effects, and against which no well-founded com-
plaint has been made; and they solemnly protest against and
earnestly deprecate any change which may affect its prin-
ciple or injure its operation.
"3. That a deputation, consisting of the Duke of Hamil-
ton, the Duke of Montrose, the Marquis of Breadalbane, the
Earl of Eglintoun, the Earl of Rosebery, the Earl of Mans-
field, the Right Hon. Fox Maule, Sir Hugh Campbell, Bart.;
Mr. Home Drummond, Mr. Oswald, Mr. David Dundas, and
Mr. Lockhart, be appointed to convey in person these reso-
lutions to Sir R. Peel."
To the above resolutions the following representatives of
Scotland in the House of Commons have adhered :—Lord
J. F. Halyburton (M,P. for Forfarshire), Mr. H. Baillle
(M.P. for Inverness-shire), the Hon. E. Bouverie (M.P. for
Kilmarnock, ice,), Mr. G. Traill (M.P. for Caithness-shire),
Sir T. B. Hepburn (M.P. for Haddingtonshire), Mr. T. Mac-
kenzie (M.P.for Ross and Cromartie).

On Wednesday morning, between twelve and one
o'clock, a fire was discovered raging in one of the upper
apartments of Lane's Hotel, St. Alban's-place, Regent-
street, which is chiefly occupied by single gentlemen. For-
tunately, the timely discovery made by one of the gentle-
men lodging in the establishment saved the premises, which
are very extensive, from total destruction. The County
Fire-office engine, under the direction of Mr. Garwood, was
promptly on the spot, and succeeded in confining the flames
to one roem, the greater part of the furniture in which was
destroyed. The cause of the fire cannot be satisfactorily
ascertained. We believe Mr. Lane is insured.

THE PRISONER HOOKER.--Since Monday the pri-
soner has been busily engaged in writing, though the nature
of the subject has not transpired. No change has taken
place in his manner, if we except a restless dui' e to learn the
opinion of the public as to his defence. Since Monday
numerous applications have been made to the officials for per-
mission to see the prisoner, amongst which might be men-
tioned the names of several persons of distinction. In
every instance they have been refused. All sorts of means
have been adopted by the applicants, and the turnkeys posi-
tively state they do not remember so many inquiries since
the trial of Oxford. The prisoner, upon being visited upon
the last occasion by his friends, exhibited a greater degree
of reserve than he has ever done since his imprisonment,
and there was anything but that cordiality which has
hitherto marked his conduct towards them. In the course
of yesterday he was visited by the Rev. Mr. Davis, of whose
kindness he speaks very strongly to the persons appointed to
watch him.

MARINE SOClETY.—Wednesday, according to an-
nual custom, the boys belonging to this institution, 72 in
number, including their boatswain and mates were regaled
with a good substantial dinner, at the Society's office, in
Bishopsgate-street ; after which they proceeded on their
usual perambulation, accompanied by the officers of the
establishment, displaying their banners, and the drumniers
and fifers of the school enlivening them with merry tuns.
After visiting the India House, Royal Exchange, Somerset
House, Buckingham Palace, and the Admiralty, at each of
which they gave three hearty cheers, they returned to the
Society's office, when they were again furnished with a sub-
stantial repast.

TIDE DEAL BOATMEN.—Another dreadful wreck on
the Goodwin Sands, which, but for the meritorious and intre-
pid conduct of the Deal boatmen, must have been attended
with loss of life, occurred on Sunday last. About noon on that
.day, while blowing a strong gale from south-west, with thick
weather and rain, a schooner was observed to strike upon the
outer part of the sand. The Deal men immediately launched
to her assistance, and succeeded, after great exertion and re-
gardless of their own risk, in getting alongside. She proved
to be the Facility, of Salcombe, Richard Way master, from
Shields, laden with coals, and with a crew of six hands. The
vessel was then striking heavily, the sea breaking over her, and
it was doubtful if she could hold together long ; they however,
boarded her, and tried every means that courage and experience
could suggest to get her ofl;but at this moment the chain parted,
the water being up to the cabin floor, and they, seeing that the
lives of all were in imminent danger, at great risk again suc-
ceeded in getting their boat alongside, and providentially
saving the crew, for in less than five minutes after they had
left the vessel she capsized and went down. The crew were
brought on shore, and by the kindness of Mr. Hammond, the
agent for shipping, were supplied with necessaries, and for-
warded to their homes; but the Deal men, who, at the risk
of their lives, saved those of their poor fellow-creatures, re
ceive no other recompense than what the consciousness of
having done a humane and meritorious action naturally im-
parts; fur, unfortunately, there exists no fund out of which
they can be compensated; and it often happens, as in this
case, that they who have perilled their own lives to save
others, go altogether unrewarded, unless the benevolence of
the humane and affluent is appealed to in their behalf.
DARING BURGLARY AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERY
AT COSSINGTON, NEAR LEICESTER.—Between four and five
o'clock on Wednesday morning last information was received
at the County Police-office, Leicester, that the house of the
Rev. J. Babington, of Cossington, about a mile and a half
from the Sileby station of the Midland Counties Railway,
had been broken open a few hours previously, and property
exceeding the value of 1,200/. had been stolen. It appears
that Tuesday, the day preceding the robbery, was the usual
day for Mr..Babington to receive his rents, and also those of
some property for which he is trustee ; and that Mr. Wool-
ley, his steward, had been transacting business with the
tenants during the day, and had retired to bed at the
same time as Mr. Babington and his family, taking the
cash-box containing the money he had received with him to
his bed-room. A little before two o'clock on Wednesday
morning Mrs. Babington was alarmed by hearing a noise, as
if an attempt was being made to break open the house. door,
and in a few minutes afterwards the whole family were
startled by a tremendous crash, the thieves being unable,
it seems, to force the door, having procured a ladder from an
adjoining out-house, and dashed in the first window of the
staircase, breaking several large tree-pots, which stood in the
window, with the ladder. Mr. Babington, on hearing the
crash, ran down stairs, armed with a bludgeon, and on
arriving at the top of the first flight of stairs, found
five men, disguised, with their faces blackened, and
who had just entered by the window. Believing that.
from their numbers, resistance would be useless, Mr.
Babington went into his study, and locked himself in.
The robbers then entered Mrs. I.labiegton's bed-room, and
asked for the keys, saying they had come for the rent." Mrs.
Babington told them she had not got it, upon which, after
taking a gold watch from under her pillow, they proceeded to
the study, and burst open the door, shattering the door and
door-posts to pieces. Being again disappointed of obtaining
the money, they went to Mr. Woolley's bed-room, where
they found the cash-box, and after locking the doors, and
fastening Mr. Babington and his servant together in one
room, they proceeded to ransack the house, breaking open
the drawers and cupboards in every room, including even
those of the servants. No injury was done to any of the
family, with the exception of Mr. Babington, who
was struck on the arm by one of the robbers, whilst en-
deavouring to prevent his opening a drawer in the study.
The following is the:property already ascertained to be stolen,
namely, 8561. in cash and notes, as follow :—One Bank of
England note for 1001., another for 50/., both of which were
drawn from one of the Leicester banks on Saturday, by Mr,
Astill, of Cossington, no doubt for the purpose of paying

burglars fortunately overlooked several sums of money and a
'valuable gold watch, the latter of which was under the
bolster of Mrs. Babington's bed at the time they took another
gold watch from beneath her pillow. They also broke open
a writing- desk, in which was a cheque for 400/. • this, how-

FIRE AT DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Considerable
alarm was created on Wednesday morning, about half past
eight, in consequence of a report being spread that a por-
tion of this theatre was on fire, followed shortly after by. the
appearance of several engines. Upon inquiry we ascertained
that some of the persons connected with the establishment
observing a dense smoke issuing from the property-room,
proceeded there, and discovered a portion of the apartment
on fire. There being, however, a good supply of water,
and plenty of assistance, the fire was confined to where it
. originated.

stock. The body was speedily identified by the keeper of s
small inn at Salisbury, as being that of a woman who had
been, with a man anu three children, staying for some tint.
at his house, the man getting his living by exhibiting in the
city and neighbouring villages a "learned pig." The inquest.
was commenced on Thursday and adjourned till Monday. In
the interim the husband was apprehended at a village near
Blandford, and was present during the remainder of the in-
quiry. He gave his name George Woolford, and aged 67.
It appeared from the evidence that, on Palm Sunday, the
woman left Newman's house abruptly, the man being then
absent. An hour after this time two or three witnesses met
a man and a woman, the latter being a few yards in
advance, going at a quick pace down the road towards
Laverstock bridge. One of them stated that, as she passed
She heard the man say, I'll be if I don't." They be-
lieved Woolford to be the man. Another witness deposed
that he, twenty minutes afterwards, saw Woolford standing
on the bridge alone, looking into the water. Woolford, it
appeared, returned to the inn at ten o'clock, and then ,eve-
ral times afterwards he said he believed the old wOlll3ll had
drowned or hung herself. Ile and his family remained in
the city for some days afterwards, and it appeared that be
had made several inquiries about his wife, stating always
that he believed she had committed suicide. The medical
evidence went to prove distinctly that there were no exter-
nal marks of violence on the body, and that the death was
occasioned by drowning.
The prisoner stated that be was not near the spot on the
night in question, and that his wife was out of her mind, and
had several times attempted suicide.
This latter assertion his daughter, on being examined,
denied.
The inquiry terminated at midnight on Tuesday, iu 4
verdict of "%Vila!! murder" against Woolford, Who was
thereupon committed to the county gaol for trial. Ile iS
rather a fine man, and is 67 years of age, but looks much
younger. It is believed that lie and his wife were formerly
members of an equestrian company.

The stoppage of Messrs. Ailsop and Co., the ale-
brewers, of Barton was mentioned in City circles on Tuesday,
but was not confirmed till yesterday, when it transpired that
the debts and liabilities of the firm are for an amount of be-
tween 200,0001. and 300,000/. The general circumstances of
the failure have not come out, butit is stated that recent ex-
periments have involved the house in difficulties. The hop-
factors in the Borough are said to be heavy sufferers; and
should the suspension prove permanent, instead of tempo-

GOVERNESSES' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—The
second anniversary festival of this benevolent establishment
was celebrated on Wednesday at the London Tavern by
a large party, who dined together under the presidency of
Lord Sandon, supported by Lord Ingestre, M.P., Sir 3. D.
Paul, Mr. Mackinnon, M.P., the Hon. G. R. Trevor, M.P.,
Mohun Lal, &c. The dinner provided did great credit to the
establishment. After the usual loyal toasts, the Chairman
proposed the toast of the day, " Success to the Governesses'
Benevolent Institution." He recapitulated the peculiar
claims of a class of persons hitherto much neglected, whose
condition was most deserving of benevolent attention, whose.
means were too frequently inadequate for the insurance of
a sufficient provision against the casualties of sickness and
age. On the conclusion of this earnest appeal, Mr. Hobbs
sang " The Friend in Distress." After the health of the
Chairman, which was proposed by Lord Ingestre, and duly
responded to, the Rev. Mr. Laing, hon. sec., read a long list
of subscriptions, including the Chairman, 101. 103., and 101.
for the Home (a projected establishment for governesses
while awaiting an engagement); Mr. Mackinnon, M.P.,
101. 10s.; Lord Robert Grosvenor, 10/. 10s; Hon. G. R.
Trevor, M.P., 5/..55., and Si. ss. annually ; Mohun Lal, 5/. ; Sir
J. D. Paul, 10/. 10s.; Sir J. Scott, 25/. ; Lord Ellenborough,
101.10 s; Lord Stanley, 21/. ; Mr. Vaughan Richards, 101. 105.,,
in addition to 20/. annually, and 50 guineas towards furnish-
in the home; Lord Willoughby, 201., &c. The total amount
of the subscription list amounted to 1,551/. After the health
of the Rev. David Laing, to whose exertions the public are-
mainly indebted for the success of this institution, the chair-
man proposed the health of Mohun Lal, who had rendered
eminent services to several of our countrymen in India. lle
returned thanks in a few brief words. The musical corps
was under the direction of Mr. Hobbs, assisted by Mr. Chap-
man, Mr. Lloyd, &c. The festivities, which were graced 1y
the presence of a party of ladies, were prolonged until a late
hour.

FATAL ACCIDENT. DERBY, WEDNESDAY.
Scarcely six months have elapsed since a portion of the arch
then in the course of erection to cover the Mill-deem in the
Morledge, in this town, gave way, and caused the death of six
persons, who were at the time under it; and now a second
fall has taken place, by which two persons have lost their
lives, and two others have been seriously injured. On Tuesday
afternoon, about three o'clock, the contractor for the erection
of the Mill-fleam arch, Mr. James Sims, his son, Edward
an apprentice of the name of Harlow, and a workman of the
same name, were under the arch, about the middle part, for
the purpose of striking the centres, and it appears they had
been occupied in this situation nearly an hour, when in one
instant, without any warning being given, a portion of the
arch gave way, and the whole four were buried underneath.
An alarm was quickly spread in all directions, and a dense
crowd repaired to the spot, who, under the direction of the
borough magistrates, and a number of the police, rendered
immediate assistance. An hour elapsed ere the mass of rub-
bish could be removed so as to extricate the bodies. Sims
and his apprentice Harlow were taken out dead, and the
other two alive, but extensively injured on their heads and
faces. Three other persons under the arch at the time
the fall miraculously escaped injury. This event has excited
the strongest feeling amongst the inhabitants, as on the last
Occasion the accident was attributed to a want of skill, and
this is said to have originated in consequence of the 11.11..
scientific manner in which the arch had been cons,ructed.
To-morrow (Thursday) Mr. B. Balguy. Coroner for the bo-
rough, will hold an inquest upon the bodies, when a
searching inquiry will be made to ascertain the Cause of the
disastrous calamity.
Lieutenant-Col. Sir Michael Creagh, K. 8,,
and the officers of the 11th regiment, stationed at Rochester,
gave their second entertainment last week, which was
attended by upwards of four hundred of the local and neigh-
bouring nobility and gentry. Six rooms of the men 'a
quarters in Brompton Barracks were thrown open for the
reception of the company, two of which were used for dam.-
ing, and all were tastefully decorated with nags, swords, and
emblematical devices Among the company were—Lord A.
Fitzclarence, Colonel Sir T. Ni illshire, Sir T. Smith, Captain
Sir J. Marshall, Colonel Glennie, Major Lushington, Colonel
C. Menzies, Lieut.-Colonel Stevens, Lieut.-Colonel Kelly,
Lieut.-Colonel W. Burns, and Major Burns (eons of lb.
Scottish poet), &c.
We understand that a clerk, of some length of ser-
vice at the Custom-house, who was suspended a short time
since, in consequence of his absenting himself from duty.
under pecuniary embarrassment, having since availed him-
self of the Insolvent Act, has been discharged from the ser-
vice. A very strict order was some time ago issued on this
subject, and it is understood that the fact of it having been
proved that the party in question made a false declaration
as to the state of his affairs and circumstances in regard to
pecuniary matters, on his entry into the service, and that
he has also contracted extensive and unnecessary debts since
that period, has been the cause of his removal from the de-
vartment.
TIIE LONDON DISTRICT PosT-orrice.—Wednesday
six additional sub-sorters were appointed for the increased

THE WINE TRADE.—The Lords Commissioners Of

subject, Mr. Cardwell has communicated to the Board of Custom*
