This railway is designed to connect, by the shortest practicable
route, the port of Liverpool with Preston and other places to the
northward, and with Blackburn and other places to the eastward,
and to supply Manchester, Wigan, Bolton, Oldham, Stockport, and
other manufacturing districts in Lancashire, and the West Riding of
Yorkshire, the advantage of direct railway communication with
Southport and the west coast of Lancashire.
One portion of this railway will diverge from the present line of
the North Union Railway at or near Farrington, and by forming a
commanioation with the Blackburn and Preston Railway there, will
accommodate the traffic both of Preston and Blackburn, and the
places beyond. From Farrington it will proceed by Ormskirk, and
thence past Kirby (where it will form a junction with the Liver-
pool and Bury Railway), and terminate at the intended new sta-
tion of the Grand Junction Railway Company at Edge-hill, Liver-
pool, from whence there will be access to the north and south
docks, as well as to the Lime-street station in that town. This
portion of the main line will be twenty-four miles in length, and
will bring Liverpool within twenty-seven miles of Preston, and'
thirty-three miles a Blackburn. Another portion of the under-
taking will consist of a trunk line from Southport, passing St. John's,
in the village of Burscough, near which it will intersect and form a
junction with the line from Farrington to Liverpool, and proceed
thence through the Douglas Valley to Wigan, wh.re it will avail
itself of the North Union station in passing through the town, pro-
ceeding thence by Hindley, Atherton, Tyldesley, Ellenbrook, and
Worsley, it will form a junction with the Liverpool and Manchester
Railway near Eccles, and with the Manchester, Bolton, and Bury
Railway in Pendleton.
By means of a junction with the Bolton and Leigh Railway at
Atherton, the advantages of this line will be extended to the town of
Leigh. The length of this trunk will be about twenty-eight miles of
new line, bringing Southport within thirty-three miles of Manchester,
sixteen-and-a-half of Wigan, and twenty-six of Bolton, and reduc-
ing the time occupied in the journey between Southport and Man-
chester from four hours to little more than one, and between that
favourite watering-Place and other manufacturing districts in like
proportion; at the same time substituting for a dilatory and expensive
means of transport, the dispach and economy of a thorough railway
communication.
The line between Wigan and Manchester will pass through a popu-
lous district, possessing extensive manufactures ; and the coal-field
it will traverse and lay open to the manufacturing districts, as well
as to Liverpool, is second to none in this part of England in richness
and variety.
This railway will also afford increased facilities for conveying the
produce of the abundant agricultural district, ling between the
River Alt and the Douglas, to the manufacturing communities of
Lancashire:and Yorkshire.
Notwithstanding the present uncertain, dilatory, and expensive
means of access to Stockport, the numbers resorting thither are very
great, and rapidly increasing, and it cannot be doubted that the faci-
lities and economy in time, as well as money, of a direct railway
communication, would give rise to an accession of traffic far exceed-
ing the ordinary ratio of estimated increase.
The benefits resulting from the construction of these lines will be
obtained at a comparatively small outlay. The country throughout
is easy, and of a level character, rendering the works light, and the
gradients highly favourable. There are no engineering difficulties,
and the advantage of terminal stations, and access to and through
the principal towns, are already provided by the establishments of
the Grand Junction, Manchester and Leeds, North Union, and Liver-
pool and Bury Companies, whose cordial co-operation is guaranteed
by the participation of those Companies in the capital, and conse-
quently in the success, of the undertaking.

COURTNEY, Esq.
To Mr. Thomas PROUT, 229, Strand, London.
Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway
Station, Hants, October 26, 1844.
Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have
experienced in taking your Pills for the Gout. I was taken on Thurs-
day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out
of my bed, and atter I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in-
flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and
within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards
took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this
morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found In
a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in
my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must
have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that
time I had resort to your Pills, an they relieved me—within two
hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be
known ail over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that
suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive' has
been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report.-1 ours
truly and respectffilly, WILLIAM COURTNEY.
Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none
have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the community,
nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the impor-
tant discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS,
the efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recom-
mendation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effec-
tive for gout and rheumatism, in all its various forms, including
sciatica, lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as
tooth-ache, &c. They require neither confinement nor attention of
any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach,
brain, or other vital part.
Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; an by his appoint-
ment, by all respectable medicine vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.
Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS, and ob-
serve the name and address of "Thomas Prout, 229 Strand, London,"
impressed upon the Government Stamp affixed each bex of the
Genuine Medicine.

PROSPECTUS.
The object Of the proposed undertaking is to unite the city of Exeter
with the towns of Yeovil and Brldport, as forming a part of the
great integral scheme for making the beat direct railway cornunica-
don front the metropolis, through Exeter to the important seaports and
harbpurs in the British Channel, as well as completing the chain
of south coast communication from the ports of Dover, Portsmouth,
and Southampton, to Exeter, Plymouth, and Falmouth.
Between Yeovil and Westbury, the Wilts, Somerset, and Wey
mouth Railway will form the main line of communication, at which
latter place will join a proposed extension of the Berks and Heins
Railway from llungerford, carried through the Pewsey Valley, as
shown more distinctly in the accompanying plan. The Berks and
Hants, and the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Bill; have already
passed, and those lines are under construction. The Great Western
Railway Company will apply for the extension from Ilungerford to
Westbury, only thirty-five miles, in the approaching session.
The line of the Exeter Great Western Railway is intended to com-
mence at a distance of about three miles from Exeter, by a junction
with the Bristol and Exeter Railway at Stoke Canon, and proceed-
ing thence by Ottery Saint Mary and Honiton, will pass into the
Valley of the Axe at Axminster. From that place, the main line, in
one direction, will continue along the same valley, passing within
about three miles of Chard (which town it is proposed to connect
with the main line by a short branch), and through Crewkerne, to-
wards Yeovil, near to which town it will join the Wilts, Somerset,
and Wey mouth Railway. From Axminster, the main line, in the
other direction, will proceed near to Lyme Regis, and thence to
Yriclport, where it will also join the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth
Railway, leading towards Dorchester and the coast line to South-
ampton.
It is agreed that the line shall be worked by the Great Western.
Railway Company, under a lease, as in the case of the Wilts, Somer-
, set, and Weymouth Railway ; in consideration of which, the Great
Western Railway Company have undertaken to guarantee to the
proprietors four percent. per annum upon the paid-up capital, with
an increase of one-half per cent., in proportion to any dividend of one
per cent. upon their own stock, exceeding eight per cent., which in-
crease shall be payable to the proprietors of the Exeter Great
Western Railway Company, in addition to the guaranteed rate ; and
the Great Western Railway Company are to become responsible for
all the preliminary expenses, in case the Act shall not be obtained
within the two next sessions of Parliament.
The capital will be raised in 26,000 shares of 501, each, upon which
a deposit of 5/. per share will be paid upon subscriptions, and no
further call will be made previously to obtaining the Act of Incor-
poration.
Interest at four per cent. per annum will be allowed, after the Act
shall have passed, on the deposit, and on all paid=bp calls during the
construction of the line, and until the dividends are provided for,
under the guarantee of the Great Western Railway Company.
The notices are already given, arid the plans and books of re-
ference will be deposited In time for the Act to be applied for at the
Meeting of Parliament. If the Act should not be obtained, as before
mentioned, the deposit will be paid back to the proprietors, but with-
out interest.
A decided preference will be given to landowners and to parties
locally interested, or residing on the line, in the allotment of shares.
The prospectus may be obtained, and applications made for shares,
to the Secretary of the Great Western Railway Company, at the
London office of the Company, 449, West Strand, or at the Padding-
ton or Bristol stations, or may be addressed to the care of any of the
Bankers and Solicitors.—Unexceptionable references must be given
when parties applying for shares are not personally known, or locally
interested in the line.

TFIE public is most re3peetfully informed that
Messrs. NICOLL have received permission, according to the
specification in the Act 6 and 7 Viet., cap 65, to alter and otherwise
adapt the coat, known as the REGISTERED PALETOT, to be
suitable for winter wear, and it is now' being made of a thicker ma-
terial, viz., of milled Llama cloth; it is waterproofed by the new
method, whitie it is well known, does not unueee;carily confine the
heat of the body, but the material, when thus operated upon, remains
as porous as other that has not undergone this process, the effect
being that it does not sop, and will turn a stout shower of rain, but
not that of 24 hours' duration. Nicoll's Registered Paletot for winter
wear is a garment that is warm without being heavy, which,
even for travelling, the necessity of wrapping up in a cumber-
some manner, has of late years been found needless, distances being
so much shortened bj prepent railway and other conveyances.
Nicoll's Registered Paletot, used alone as a morning frock coat, not
over another, is found to be a most agreeable garment for walking
exercise ; and from the • skilful way it is formed, it does not
confine the chest or shoulders, but has an equally 'neat and
gentlemanly appearance when worn in cold wet weather, or in
the evening over a morning or dross coat. The price is three
guineas, that for summer wear being two. It may be ob-
served that those principles are retained that has obtained for
the Registered Paletot the patronage of mere than one of the
Crowned Heads of Europe. The Prince Consort, Prince
George of Cambridge, the chief members of the Court, prin-
cipal families in the kingdom, who it is well known are
distinguished in their taste for perfect neatness of dress. The Regis •
tered Paletot having therefore necessarily excluded anything vulgar
or outré in appearance. Would alone recommend itself to the noticeef
the respectable members -of the middle classes, was it not further as-

SBA WE'S Edition. To which is now prefixed, an Original Preface
by the same Editor.
Little need be said to point out the merits and excellencies of
Cowper, with whose poetry all are familiar ; but what are the causes
that have contributed to the universal popularity of this admired
writer? The answer is, that he is the poet of domestic life ; lie
brings all the endearments of Home before us; he is the poet of
Nature, which he describes in all its diversined aspects ; and he is
also the poet of Christianity, for no man contributed more to the re-
vival of Protestant Christianity when it had sunk to the level of mere
morality. Nor ought we to omit noticing the genuine English feel-
ing and ardent love of his country which so frequently burst forth in
the poems otCowper. A few copies printed in royal 18rno., price
6s. in cloth, or 10s. 6d. morocco, elegant, gilt edges.

UNDER THE PATRONAGE OF MANY OF THE NOBILITY.
ALLEN'S C@MPOUND ANTIBILIOUS
PILLS, prepared by Thomas Allen, late of Mile-end-road,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, and Licentiate
of the Apothecaries' Company, and a pupil of the late eccentric and
celebrated John Abernethy, Esq., F.R.S. ; twenty-two years a prin-
cipal Surgeon to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. During a practical
trial of twenty years, these Pills have been found an invaluable
remedy in cases of indigestion, liver, and bilious complaints. For
derangements of the digestive organs and obstructions, a sluggish
action of the liver and bowels, which occasions more or less the fol-
lowing symptoms, viz., heartburn, giddiness, acidity, headache,
sickness, spasms, and flatulent distentions of the stomach and
bowels, drowsiness and dimness of sight, an uncomfortable sensa-
tion experienced at the pit of the stomach soon after eating, with a
feeling of a weight of oppression, appetite impaired, breathing diffi-
cult, tenderness about the region of the liver, bowels irregular, some-
times obstinately costive with languor and depression of spirits.

TEXAS.
(From the Houston Telegraph, Oct. 15.)
Several gentlemen have lately arrived from Corpus
Christi, and they represent the health of the United
States troops at that post to be excellent. There are
over three thousand troops now at or near that post,
and scarcely a single soldier is dangerously sick. Great
numbers of strangers from all sections of Texas and
from the United States are congregatinc, at Corpus
Christi. Many of them are dissipated ; and the grog
shops are crowded to overflowing. A Mexican, sup-
posed to be a spy, was captured near the clump a short
time since. He had formerly held a commission in the
Mexican army. He was detained a short time in cus-
tody ; but as no fears were entertained that his repre-
sentations could do any harm, he was permitted to
return to the Rio Grande.

The President has promoted Captain Hays to the rank
of Msjor, and Lieutenant Gillespie has been promoted
to the rank of Captain. Two companies of Rangers,
under Captains Price and M'Culloch, have lately been
organised, and it is probable they will soon be mus-
tered into service on the frontier.

The agents appointed by the Government to conclude
a treaty with the Comanches, met these Indians on the
15th ult., at Torrey's trading house. Pahayuca, Mocha-
ohuka, and several others who represented themselves as
principal chiefs of the Comanches, were present at the
council. This, we believe, was the fifth attempt that has
been made by our Government to conclude a formal
treaty it ith this perfidious tribe ; and the Indians ap-
peared as timid and suspicious as at the first council.
Comparatively few of their warriors attended. When
they first arrived at the trading house they would not be
induce," to encamp near the house ; and the Government
agents were compelled to go out and encamp with them
to gain their confidence. They evidently feared that
they were to be punished for the outrages committed
near Austin a few months since. The agents, however,
succeeded in gaining their confidence so far, that at the
close of the council the chiefs came forward and de-
clared that they were now assured that the white men
wet e the friends of the Comanches, and expressed a de-
termination on their part to maintain a permanent peace
with our settlers. 'We place little reliance upon their
professions. It is not a little singular that about the
f,t,me period this council was held, a party of Mexican
traders from the Rio Grande came into Corpus Christi,
and reported that they had met with a body of two hun-
dred Comanche warriors, who permitted the traders to
pass unmolested, and informed them that they were
going to Matamoras, agreeably to the invitation of the
Mexican officers, and that they intended to take part with
the Mexicans against the Americans. It will be remem-
bered that at a former council held with these Indians
they expressed dissatisfaction because the agents of our
Government gave them so few presents. Perhaps they
think by making overtures to the Mexican Government
they can obtain a large quantity of presents, more
valuable than any that they have yet received from
us. There is little probability, however, that they
ever can become the faithful allies of the Mexicans,
for they have been accustomed from their infancy
to look on Mexicans as their natural enemies; and it
would be as difficult for them to act in concert, as for
wolves and deer to dwell harmoniously together. The
military power of this tribe has been long since broken,
and it is a matter of but little consequence whether they
remain at peace or at war with our Government. We
have been not a little amused recefitly to notice the ex-
aggerated accounts published in the northern papers
respecting the formidable numbers and the prowess of
this perfidious and imbecile tribe. Some of those papers
represent the Comanches as mustering from 15,000 to
20,000 warriors, and as able to cope, man to man, with
the American cavalry. The Comanches, as far back as
1835, could not concentrate at any one point more than
1,300 warriors, and the tribe has been so much reduced
by constant war with the Mexicans and Texians within
the last five years, that they have not been able to
muster snore than 400 or 500 warriors in any of their
expeditions. Their warriors are generally armed with
bows and arrows and lances, and are withal so cowardly,
that they are seldom or ever known to attack a force of
the Texians, even when they have the advantage of
numbers of three to one. Two companies of dragoons
could traverse the whole country occupied by the Co
manches with impunity.
The two tribes, Lipans, and Tonkawas, are preparing
to abandon their late encampments of the tributaries of
the Gaudalope and San Antonio, and intend removing
high up on the Colorado, to occupy a portion of country
lately granted to them by the Comanches. Many of the
warriors of these tribes have intermarried with the
Comanches.
The presence of the United States army on the western
frontier has caused the price of provisions to advance to
an unprecedented extent in that section. At the last
accounts, corn was selling at Aransas and Corpus Christi
at one dollar and fifty cents a bushel—sweet potatoes at
the same rate, and very few could be obtained. The
army is stationed at such a distance from our dense set-
tlements, that most of its supplies of provisions will be
brought from New Orleans at a cheaper rate than they
can be procured from any of the settlements of western
Texas. Beef, however, can always be procured in our
western counties at a cheaper rate than it can be obtained
perhaps in any part of the United States. The commis-
saries of the army will have little difficulty in procuring
an abundant supply of beef in any of our western settle-
ments at a cent to a cent and a half a pound—and the
beef from the Rio Grande can doubtless be obtained at a
still lower rate.

(From the Houston Star, Oct. 16.)
On the south batik of the St. Gabriel, in Milam
county, about fifteen miles above the confluence of that
river, with the Little river, there are many relics of an
ancient town or village. No houses are standing ; but
the surface of the ground for an extent of several acres,
is strown with stones and large rocks, some of which have
evidently been hewn for building stones. They are
strewn about in such a manner as to leave no doubt
that they formerly formed the walls of buildings which
are now destroyed. A large dam formed by these stones
extends nearly across the river, which at this point is
about a hundred feet wide. This dam is sixty feet long
and five or six feet thick. The river has washed away a
portion which formerly connected it with the opposite
bank. A small ditch extends from the river above the
dam along the edge of the hill which skirts the valley
in which the village is situated, and appears to have
been used for the purpose of irrigation. Whether these
ruins were formerly the habitations of Spaniards or of
the aborigines of the country, we have been unable to
ascertain. We consider it quite probable that this place
was formerly occupied as a missionary or mining station
by the Spaniards, shortly after the conquest of Mexico
by Cortez.

neither just nor honest for them to depend entirely upon the
generosity of their creditors, who have suffered long and
patiently, and now wait with reasonable hope for some action
on the part of the legislature for their relief.
These remarks apply with equal force to the states of In-
diana and Michigan, and we trust that the time is not far
distant when all the great western states will adopt the wise
and honourable course of redeemiug their obligations, with-
out which it will be in vain for them to hope for the sym
pathy or respect of the world.
The inviolabilit' of state faith is a subject in which every
state of the union is deeply interested, for whatever tends to
bring dishonour on the character of a single state affects
more or less the honour and character of the confederacy.
It is a•subject, therefore, of national importance, and calls
for the action of a sound public opinion, in order that he
states may be held to the performance of their duty in sus-
taining and keeping inviolate their public faith. This was
most clearly exhibited in the refusal of European capitalists
to negotiate. a loan with the United States Government at a
period when capital was abundant and the rates of interest
low. The Six per Cent. Stock of the United States went
begging throughout Europe unsuccessfully, notwithstanding
the knowledge that the Government had fulfilled, to the
nicest point of honour, all its public engagements, and that
it stood before the world free from the weight of a single
dollar's debt. It cannot be denied that this was owing en-
tirely to the discredit thrown upon the country by the defal-
cation of the states.

Since that period we think we see a better and a sounder
state of public feeling manifested on this subject, and have
witnessed with a high degree of pleasure the efforts that are
now making by some of the defaulting states to restore their
long-lost integrity. In Indiana the matter has been lately
brought before the citizens, and the report of a public com-
mittee is before us, in which sound and upright views are
maintained in reference to their state obligations. We re-
joice at these important movements, and feel encouraged to
hope that, ere long, the credit of all the states will be restored,
and their public faith redeemed from the reproach to which
it has so long been subjected.

THEATRICALS IN AMERICA.
(From the Am York Herald.)
There is no diminution in the success of theatricals -in
the United States. Wherever talent is found in a per-
former it is appreciated in a very substantial manner.
The astounding success of De Meyer and Templeton in
thi: country is a proof of the truth of this.

Leopold De Meyer, the lion pianist of the age, having
concluded a brilliant career at the Park Theatre is about
commenciug a series of concerts in this city, at the Ta-
bernacle.

Templeton has exceeded his most sanguine expecta-
tions of success, and after having delighted the New
Yorkers for a fortnight, has gone to Boston, where'he
gave his first concert on Monday evening to a large and
fashionable audience.

The Keans, after having fulfilled an engagement In
Baltimore, have now commenced their third engagement
in Philadelphia, where they are drawing crowded
houses. Their next engagement will probably be in
this city.
Miss Delcy and Rophino Lacy hare returned to this
city from Philadelphia, where they gave a series of eight
concerts, with pretty good success, considering the
people were very much engaged in dections and other
affairs of public interest. They gave a concert in Balti-
more, which was numerously and fashionably attended.
They purpose bringing out at the Park, on the 17th inst.,
the new opera of the Bride of Lammermoor. This
piece has never been performed in this country, and,
according to repute on the other side of the water, it is
one of considerable interest, abounding with beautiful
music.

The Segains and Mr. Frazer have left Boston and gone
:o Philadelphia.

Ole Bull is in Philadelphia. He will return to this
city in time to take passage in the Havre packet of the
6th. He has given a concert here which was considered
his last, but many of his friends and admirers are de-
termined that he shall give us another before he leaves.
Mr. Crisp and the American actress, Mrs. Mowatt,
are in Boston.

T. D. Rice is playing his round of negro characters
n Boston.

The Swiss Bell-ringers are on their way to Mexico,

CONSTRUCTION OF RAILWAY

CARRIAGES.

The South-Western Railway Company are constructing a
new set of carriages at their extensive locomotive establish-
ment at Vauxhall, on a new and improved plan, the carry-
ing out of which will no doubt enhance the comfort and
convenience of passengers, as well as tend to increase that se-
curity in travelling which has to the present time been so
effectively maintained by the Company. It appears that,
although some have already been in work, they are princi-
pally set apart for the new branch lines intended for opening
next year.
In the first-class carriage, even to the most inexperienced
eye, improvement is perceptible to a great extent; safety,
convenience, and beauty, appear to have been severally stu-
died in drawing out the design.

The seats are formed with -springP, and the back linings are
provided with the same, they being so elastic as to afford the
greatest possible comfort, and, in the event of any accident,
would no doubt cause a great reduction in the shock that
might be consequent on such, and which in the general sys-
tem of construction might be attended with a serious, if not a
fatal result.

In addition to the usual door and side-glasses, there is a
light frame composed of very fine wire gauze, which is very
neatly painted, and which, when it is found necessary to
lower the glass for the admission of air, may be raised up,
and so answer the twofold purpose of partially admitting air
and of avoiding dust.
The interior is also provided with two lamps of coat work-
manship, and is lined with blue cloth, furnished with broad
lace of handsome pattern. . . .

The body is painted and varnished in the usual s'yle, the
doors bearing the Company's arms.
The ca-riage is mounted upon paintal wooden wheels,
which appear to be of a superior construction, and of which
the Company's superintendent is patentee; they are similar
to those on which the royal vehicle on the South-Western
line is mounted, and are remarkable for uniformity and neat-
ness of construction throughout. It may be added that their
safety has been tested on several occasions. They also pos-
sess the advantage of making very little noise, and are wholly
void of the disadvantage which characterises to a great ex-

Drogheda lines, actually possessing second-class accommoda
