"We regard the work before us, the Silent Friend,' as a work
embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints
hitherto little understood, and passed over by a majority of the me-
dical 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 suffering from
indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."—Age and
Argus.

The authors of the ' Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly con-
versant 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
recommend to it a careful perusal."—Era.

JERSEY.—A meeting of the committee for the
defence of the island was held yesterday morning at the
residence of his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor.
The colonels of the several militia regiments of the
island were present. Measures for immediately com-
pleting the arsenals were resolved upon. The new
militia fittings, accoutrements, &c., will be sent to the
island as soon as the Lieutenant-Governor reports that
the arsenals are completed, and ready and fit to receive
them. They may, therefore, be expected in a few weeks.
—Jersey Herald, Jan. 19.
SAFFRON WALDEN.—In addition to two maiden
sessions in this borough in the past year, we have plea-
sure in recording that a third—the Epiphany Sessions,
has also proved a maiden one, there not being a single
prisoner for trial. The Mayor (George Youngman,
Esq.), accompanied by the members of the town coun-
cil, proceeded on Monday last to the Town-hall, and
there adjourned the sessions, according to law, grati-
fied, we doubt not, that the year of his mayoralty
has commenced so favourably, since the satisfaction is
so much greater in preventing crime than in punishing it.
—Essex Herald,

The works on this line are so far completed as to be
ready for the laying of the rails. It starts from the
Woking station of the South-Western Railway, in a
southerly course, is six miles in length, and has been
constructed by Mr. Giles, the engineer, and Messrs.
Treadwell, the contractors. Originally projected as
art independent line, it has now fallen, by purchase
for 75,0001., into he hands of the South-Western
Company, who propose to make it the trunk to their
Guildford, Chichester, and Portsmouth extension,
recommended by the Board of Trade. The Guild-
ford line, amongst other objects, was originally pro-
jected with a view to its becoming the first experi-
mental line in this country of the wooden railway
system, but the transfer of it to the South-Western,
who, on idemnifying the patentee, are to lay down a
single line on the iron system, will preclude the
carrying out the proposed experiment. The South-
Western take possession as soon as the rails are laid,
and the works become consolidated. They will have
to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session for an Act
to confirm the purchase. The distance between
Woking and Guildford will be accomplished in a
quarter of an hour, and the line, to be worked by the
South-Western, is expected to be opened in the be-
ginning of April.
CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN.--A memorial to the
Board of Trade in favour of this line was sent from
Lincoln on Saturday last, containing the signatures;of
400 tradesmen and merchants. There were not more
than a dozen parties who refused to give their assent.
—Boston Herald.

MARYPORT AND CARLISLE.—This line will be
opened throughout for goods in a week, and for pas-
sengers on the Ist of next month.
BRANDLING JUNCTION.—There is a rumour that
Mr. Hudson, Chairman of the Midland Railw•ar,
has arranged to allot a 251. share for each share held in
the Newcastle and Darlington Junction, in order to
complete the purchase of the Brandling Junction, so
that 101. per share will be paid up immediately.—
Newcastle Journal.
NEWCASTLE AND BERwiCK.—The Neweastle and
Berwick (Hudson's line) has received the assent of
the Duke of Northumberland and Sir George Grey.
—Gateshead Observer.

ELY AND LINCOLN.—On Wednesday last a meet-
ing of the committee appointed to consider which
line would be best for the interests of Wisbech, was
held at the Town-hall, Ely, when a memorial to the
Board of Trade in favour of this line was agreed to.
—Bury Journal.
LONDON AND NORWICH DIRECT.—This line, in
the direction of Bury St. Edmund's, will pass over a
portion of the Ickworth property, the Marquis of
Bristol having expressed his desire to afford every
facility to the company. It will then continue to-
wards Farnham, in the line of the Thetford and Nor-
wich.—Bury Journal.
BRIDGE OVER THE SWALE.—It is contemplated, in
connection with the North Kent line to Sheerness, to
erect a bridge over the Swale.—Maidstone Gazette,
RAILWAY COMMUNICATION FOR THE POTTERIES.—
An important memorial from the:committee appointed
at the public meeting in the Potteries on the 30th
December last, has been presented to the Board of
Trade, by Mr. Alderman Copeland, M.P. It de-
scribes the want of railway accommodation in the
Potteries, and gives a decided opinion that " the
branch " from Basford to Crewe, and " the branch "
from Stoke to Stafford, for which the Grand June-

tion and Trent Valley Companies have respectively
given notice, will not meet the wants or wishes of
that populous mining and manufacturing district, and
that an extension of the Trent Valley line from Col-
wich, along the Valley of the Trent to Stoke, and
from thence to Crewe, will alone be satisfactory. The
memorialists therefore pray the Board of Trade not
to sanction the proposed branches, and to suspend
their sanction to the Valley line until 1846, by which
time they pledge themselves that a new Company
shall be formed to apply to Parliament for an Act to
construct a direct line through the Potteries from
Rugby to Crewe.—Chester Courant.
