ACTING ENGINEERS—Messrs. Birch, Cannon-row, London
The Act for the formation of the Wilts and Somerset Railway
having passed the Legislature, the Directors of the present under-
taking propose to take up that line at Salisbury, and join it by a direct
Railway communication of twenty-one miles on the broad gauge,
with the important town and port of Southampton. The line has
been eareffilly surveyed by experienced parties, and as it presents
no engineering or other difficulties (the chief landowners being most
favourably disposed towards it) the Directors have the fullest con-
fidence that the estimates for its construction, &c., will net be ex-
ceeded, while the statistics of traffic are so abundant, both through
and local, (a detailed statement of which may be teen at the office),
as to leave no doubt on the minds of the Directors that a most sa-
tisfactory dividend will be realised, to arise from the large number of
passengers that must embark and disembark at Southampton, to and
from the East and West Indies, the Mediterranean, France, the
Southern States of Europe, the Channel Islands, Isle of Wight, &c.,
as well as the large supplies of iron, coal, slate, stone for building,
flour, grain, and merchandise, constantly required to be transported
to, and received at Southampton, either for use there, for exporta-
tion, or for the consumption in that part of the interior of the country
traversed by the number of railways in connexion with, or springing
from, the present line.

The route of the proposed lino will pass through commons and
lands of little value ; it will proceed from the staton of the Wilts,
Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, at Fisherton Anger, and proceed
by or near to Downton, Plaitford, over Hampworth and East Willow
Commons, by liramshaw to Redbridge, taking the line of the old
Canal at Millbrook, and crossing the Mudlands to the Royal Pier,
Southamptofl, contiguous to which, and on the present waste shore.
it is proposed to erect a spacious Terminus, the cost of Which is in-
cluded in the estimate.

MEETING of the SOCIETY for the EMAN-
CIPATION. of INDUSTRY was held at Exeter Hall on
Tuesday, July 1, ANDREW SPOTTISWOODE, Esq., in the Chair,
at which the following resolutions were moved and carried :
Resolved,—First—That this Society cannot refrain from expressing
its surprise and disappointment at the very unsatisfactory resolutions
introduced by Lord John Russell in the House of Commons on the
2Gth of May, for the professed purpose of ameliorating the condition
of the working classes of the United Kingdom, and of correcting the
alarming evil for which his Lordship did not account, that while
" the rich are growing richer, the poor are growing poorer ;"—,and
this meeting considers that no professions of sympathy for the dis-
tressed condition of the labouring classes can avail anything, or be
satisfactory to the country at large, so long as those classes are
compelled to provide for a heavy taxation on articles of consumption
in a money artificially made scarce—a regulation which confers an
undue and unnatural advantage upon capital over industry.
Second,—That it is the opinion of this Society that the state of
actual destitution and suffering under which it is acknowledged the
labouring classes in this kingdom are now so largely suffering, in
the midst of superabundant wealth, and the inexhaustible means of
producing that wealth, !s not owing to any fault of their own, nor
to any express dispensation of Providence, but is attributable to in-
judicious legislation, of which the most striking example is the per-
nicious currency law of 1819—a measure which Sir James Graham
truly and emphatically denounced as a " delusion and a fraud."

Third,—That the object of the currency law of 1819 and of the
monetary measures of 1844 and 1845 is to reduce the prices of pro-
duction to the level of gold prices, while the object of eorn-
laws, and of all protective laws, is to raise prices above the level
of gold, In order to compensate for heavy taxation ; and thus the one
object is inconsistent with, and contradictory to, the other,—That it
is the Intention of the Legislature, in levying taxes on commodities,
to secure that those taxes should be paid by the consumers generally
in a rise of prices; but the effect of the monetary measures before re-
ferred to is to prevent a rise of prices, and thus to defeat that inten-
tion.—That by these means a grievous wrong is inflicted on the pro-
ducing classes, the effects of which are observable in the wide-spread
..pauperism, described by Sir James Graham as already amounting in
England to fill one-tenth of the population, and in the alarming de-
pression of the prices of agricultural produce, in consequence of which
the wages of the labourer are reduced to their present low and insuffi-
cient rate.

Fourth,—That this Society contends that the high scale of indirect
taxation in this country demands a corresponding scale of prices both
of labour and of the produce of labour; and that such scale of prices
is incompatible with the present low fixed price of gold, which has
the effect, not only of throwing upon the producers the burden of
that taxation which ought to be paid by the consumers, but of perni-
ciously restricting the circulating medium of the country, by making
it dependent on the quantity of gold in the Rank of England.
Fifth,—That if gold were allowed to find its market price in the
currency of the country, like all other commodities, and In obedience
to the law of supply and demand, prices in the home trade would
rise to a remunerating level, without affecting the prices of our
fbreign trade, which are now, and always must be, regulated by the
market price of gold. That competition would prevent home prices
from rising in such a circulating medium beyond the level thst Indi-
rect taxation justified ; a level below which it is as unjust to the pro-
ducer as it is dangerous to the public ereditor to reduce them.—That
the Government money (or Exchequer-bills) now issued for taxes in
a shape and in amounts exclusively useftil to the monied class, should
be issued in amounts convenlat for all classes—namely, in notes of
one pound and upwards; that these notes being necessarily confined
within the amount of annual taxation, would be founded on and re-
present that property which the Government annually draws from
the people in taxes, and would form the legal-tender money of the
nation.—That labour would then receive its fair and reasonable re-
ward, while the commerce and industry of the country would be freed
from their present unnecessary and injurious dependence upon
foreign exchanges.
Sixth,—That this Society views with horror the monstrous doc-
trine attributed to Sir Robert Peel in the debate on Mr. Villiers's
motion upon the 10th of June, that the increasing impoverishment
of the industrious classes is without remedy; that "great wealth
being found side by side with great poverty" is "inseparable from
civilisation, and that civilisation in itself increases the tendency in
a country towards them,"—a doctrine which would consign a large
portion of our countrymen to irremediable poverty. That this
Society is prepared to prove before a Committee of either House of
Parliament that such a social anomaly is mainly attributable to mis-
taken views of the nature and uses of money, and of the laws
governing the distribution of wealth ; and they cannot but ascribe it
to the deepest and most deplorable delusion, that in the recent dis-
cussions on the subject of the Corn-laws and Banking, the National
Debt and Taxation, which form essential elements in both questions,
have been studiously excluded.
Seventh,—That petitions, representing the substance of the reso-
utions of this meeting, and praying for legislative inquiry into the
effect of currency on prices, and en the wages of labour, be now
prepared and signed by the Chairman of the Society, and be presented
to the House of Lords and the House of Commons ; and that the
Provisional Committee formed for the convening of this meeting be
requested to place the petitions in suitable hands for presentation and
support.

Notice le hereby given, that no further Applications for Shares
will be received after the 26th day of JULY instant, except from those
parties locally interested, applications from whom must be made on
or before the 30th instant.—By order,

in the northern counties of Scotland, which comprise an extent of
surface equal to one-third of all Scotland, and have a population of
about 250,000. Yet, with the exception of a very few eel's attached
to the infirmary at Inverness, there is not any provision made in all
this wide district for the secure confinement or medical treatment of
the insane, the poorer classes of whom, amounting in number to up-
wards of 700, are left in a state of wretched destitution, either burden-
some to their poor relatives and paralysing their industry, or roam •
lug about the country in search of a precarious subsistence—pitiable
on account of their calamity, often alarming and dangerous to the
community from their furious conduct, at once the disgrace, the in-
jury, and the terror of the country.

This Company is established under an Act of the Parliament of
Canada, 8 Vic. c. 25, royal assent 17th of March, 1845, ter the pur-
pose of forming- a Railroad from the city of Montreal, the capital of
that important colony, through the most populous and fertile part of
Canada East, via Sherbrooke, in connexion with a railroad to be con-
structed from the city of Portland, on the Atlantic Ocean, and which
connects it by an existing railroad with Boston.
This line of Railway, while it gives important advantages, not
only to the provinces, but to the community at large, at the same
time promises a safe and remunerative investment for capital.
The present communications with Canada are either by the long
and uncertain navigation of the River St. Lawrence, entirely ob-
structed by ice during six months of the year ; or by the tedious land
'ourney across from New York or Boston, the shortest of which ex-
ceeds g3O miles of mixed stage and steam conveyance, and can
be used for passengers only. Whilst by the construction of this rail-
road, an uniform and cheap route from the Atlantic, not exceeding
240 miles in length, will be established, available at all seasons of
the year, and forming the connecting link between the Ocean and the
vast chain of canal and lake navigation westward of Montreal.
By IA lately passed by the Congress of the United States, British
goods are permitted to pass through their territory, under bond, and
by treaty the Canadian mail is transmitted from Boston overland to
Montreal. Under these arrangements this railroad will be at once
the shortest, easiest, and cheapest communication that can be opened
for passengers, as well as for the carriage of the more valuable Bri-
tish manufactures, West India produce, and various foreign goods,
novrimported by the St. Lawrence, or sent in by the long and expen-
sive route from New York to Montreal.
To this country, as well as to the numerous emigrants who proceed
yearly to Canada, it must be ever an object to have their communi-
cations accelerated and improved. This railroad will bring Montreal
within a few hours' travel of the excellent and spacious harbours of
Portland and Boston, ever open, and only ten or twelve days by
steam from Great Britain, avoiding altogether the hazardous navi-
gation of the Gulf and River St. Lawrence.
The Act of Incorporation has already been obtained, whereby all
preliminary expenses are saved, and one-sixth of the capital required
has already been subscribed by persons of the first standing, as re-
spects intelligence, influence, and property, in the colony, thus
affording the strongest guarantee of the confidence there entertained
in the project.
From the point of junction with the railroad to Portland, arrange-
ments are now in progress giving the assurance that no delay will
arise in carrying out the charter granted to parties in the United
States, for the construction of that part of the work.
The whole line has been carefully surveyed by experienced engi-
neers; its practicability fully demonstrated, no tunnelling being re-
quired throughout the whole distance, and the cost of construction
in the most permanent manner, including purchase of land, and ex-
penses of every other description is estimated, will not exceed
450,0001. sterling ; being under 4,0001. per mile for 120 miles of single
line, being the distance in the province to be constructed by this
Company. And it may be remarked that forty miles, of which
twenty-two are of a maximum grade of eight feet to the mile, may
be in operation by the latter end of next summer, at an estimated
cost not exceeding 100,0001. sterling, which part adjoins Montreal,
and will, it is not doubted, immediately yield a profitable return.
The traffic returns obtained from the colony, deduced from actual
sources, after the most careful investigation, and framed exclusive of
Sunday traffic, on which day it is only proposed that the requisite
mail train should travel, show a present expected income of 95,6001.
currency, equal to 79,8331. sterling, when remitted to England,
while the expenses of working the railroad, estimated by similar
works in the United States, will not exceed 30,0001. sterling per
annum.
It may, therefore, be safely concluded, that the annual surplus of
income over expenditure will, at its completion, amount to about
50,0001. sterling, or equal to ten per cent. on the capital subscribed;
while the Proprietors have the certainty that, in a country whose

The Dreetors have much pleasure in informing the Proprietors that
a coalition with Messrs, Terlenia and Co., of Some, who have interest
with the Bank of Rome, and the Marchese di Pizzardi, of Bologna,
has been formed, and that other arrangements highly advantageous
to the Company have been made by the Chairman and Deputation
in Italy.
It is expected that Stock applicable to the Papal and other States
in Italy will shortly have to be created, a rateable proportion of
which will be given to each Proprietor if the Italian and Austrian
Railway Company, who shall pay, °a or before Tuts DAY, July 21, to
the credit of the Company, with their respective Bankers, a further
instalment of 21. per share on the stock held by them in that Com-
pany ; such call is necessary to meet the demand for the deposit of
caution-money, which will be required by the respective Govern-
ments. Parties net paying such call will be excluded from all ad-
♦antages arising from the creation of new stock.
The Directors have further to announce that the directioa fir the
management of the Railways formed in the Papal States will
consist of PRINCE ALEXANDER TORLONIA, as Chairman,
with four others appointed by the Italian interest, and six to be ap-
pointed by the Italian and Austrian Company. Two-thirds of the
stock will be divided among the Proprietors of the Italian and Aus-
..lan Company, and the remaining one-third to Messrs. Torlonia
e.nd Co., who will supply the Bank of Rome, and Messrs. Pizzardi
and Co., of Bologna, and other influential parties in Italy.
By order of the Board, G. H. D. LAURENCE, Secretary.

THE ITALIAN and AUSTRIAN RAILWAY
COMPANY.
The Directors have the satisfaction to inform the Proprietors that
they hale succeeded in obtaining from Ills Royal Highness the grand
Duke of Tuscany, in preference to twenty-two competitors, a grant
fat sixty years, of a railway from Florence to Pestoja, on terms highly
advantageous to the Company. This line presents no engineering
difficulty, and passes through a district densely populated, and rich in
mineral and agricultural productions, and will be connected with the
railway already in operation between Leghorn and Pisa, by means of
the line now forming from Pisa to Florence. The capital will consist
of 8,000,000 of Tuscan livres, equal to abent 265,0001. sterling, one-
third of which has been already subscribed for in Tuscany, and the
Directors have secured the remaining two-thirds, which will be dis-
tributed, so soon as the necessary documents have been perfected in
Italy, to such holders of the Italian and Austrian Railway Company's
shares as shall have complied with the terms of the advertisement,
by which a call was made of 21. per share, payable on the 21st July
instaut. Under the original prospectus the Directors were authorised
to take every necessary step to obtain Government grants for the
railway from Verona to Ancona, and to coalesce or make beneficial
arrangements with any companies proposing to construct lines of
railway in connexion with the Italian and Austrian Railway Com-
pany or its branches, and the deputation who proceeded to Italy
having found that they could, with great advantage to the Share-
holders, enter upon other railway undertakings in the Italian and
Austrian States, besides the line between Ancona and Verona, deter-
mined upon doing so, and upon giv:ng to the Shareholders the option
of joining these undertakings. The Directors, thereibre, tendered for
the valuable grant they have now obtained for the railway from
Florence to Pestoja, and also have entered upon several other nego-
tiations, which, through the aid of the wealthy and influential
parties with whom they are connected at Rome, Bologna, and other
places in Italy, they feel confident will be brought to a successful ter-
mination. The benefits resulting from these negotiations will, as
they arise, be rateably apportioned to those Proprietors who shall
pay such calls as shall be made from time to time by the Directors
for carrying out fully the objects in contemplation.
By order of the Board,

G. H. D. LAUHENCE, Secretary.
112, ilishopsgate-street, July 3, 1845.

To abate this crying evil, this heart-sickening and frightful neglect
and destitution, it is proposed to erect at Inverness, as the most
central and convenient point, an Asylum for pauper lunatics, and for
other lunatics in poor circumstances belonging to the northern coun-
ties. As a subsidiary and ulterior measure, provision will be made
for the addition afterwards of apartments for richer classes of patients.

This Company is formed with the view of establishing a compre-
hensive system of railways for the county of Devon, in connexion
with the existing lines, embracing all the principal towns, and giving
to each the advantages of communication in different directions to
the greatest possible extent, consistent with a general plan.
Taking Barnstaple and Bideford as the principal and most im-
portant points in North Devon, and as representing a district, it is
proposed to form a direct communication eastward, towards Taunton,
and Tiverton ; and southward, with Exeter on the one hand and Ply-
mouth on the other.

To effect this in the most complete manner, embracing the largest
amount of population, and giving also the greatest extent of inter-
communication between the several towns, it is proposed to carry a
line from Bideford to Barnstaple, and thence by South Moßon to
Tiverton (joining the Tiverton Branch of the Bristol and Exeter
Railway), with a line diverging eastward, from a point a few miles
east of South Melton, and carried by Wiveliscombe and Milverton,
in a direct line towards Taunton, giving the whole of the district thus
traversed a very direct communication with the north and east via
Taunton, and with Exeter via Tiverton.
From Barnstaple and Bideford, as points of departure, another
line would be taken southwards towards Batherleigh, and from the
neighbourhood of that place proceed on the one hand to Plymouth,
and on the other to Exeter, via Crediton ; Okehampton being either
close to what may be called the main line of this system, or having
a branch communicating with it. By these means, Barnstaple would
have a second road to Exeter, and, with Bideford, would have direct
railway communication with all the principal places of South Devon-
shire ; and Exeter would have the great advantages of railway com-
munication with all these parts.
The ground has been sufficiently surveyed to enable the
engineer to report upon the practicability of constructing lines in the
general directions above mentioned, the total length of which will be
about 120 miles, but the precise course of such lines must be depen-
dent upon the results of more detailed surveys ; the object of the
promoters being to construct the most perfect and complete system
that the country Admits of, weighing equally and fairly the advan •
cages to the respective interests and to the public generally.
The Company is formed by an influential local proprietary, includ-
ing the promoters of the North Devon, Crediton and Barnstaple
Railway Company, and the parties who have interested themselves
in the formation of a line from Barnstaple to Tiverton, united with
the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and South Devon Rail-
way Companies, it being proposed that the three latter companies
should contribute one-half of the capital, and join in the direction of
the affairs of the Company.
The important interests which these railways will subserve and
benefit may be estimated from a statement of the fact. that the
greater part of the entire population of Devocshire, which exceeded
at the last census 530,000 persons, is located at the extremities of
these lines, or in the distrtcts traversed by them, the latter includ-
ing some of the finest agricultural portions of Devon and Somerset.
The traffic to the interior from the Seaport Towns, both on the
English and Bristol Channels, and the supplies of corn, wool, cattle,
and other produce which flow to the latter in return, are already
very considerable, and may coifidently be expected to be augmented
to a great extent by the increased faellities and diminished cost of
transport afforded by railway conveyance; the advantages of which,
in the articles of coal, lime, and minerals, are manifest.
opening of a direct and speedy communication between the
neosTprtehlcielaail south coasts, which the railway will effect, is a feature in
the present undertaking of much Importance in a public point of view ;
and with reference to local advantage, and a profitable source of in-
come to the proprietary, a line of railway to a port in the Bristol
channel is of considerable moment.
The number of visitors attracted annually to the watering places
and romantic scenery of the north of Devon is also very great, and
will doubtless be much increased.
Arrangements are in progress for obtaining exact accounts by actual
observation of the traffic on the tines ; but the promoters are already
possessed of sufficient evidence to justify the confident expectation of
a remunerative income on the proposed capital, which they are as-
assured is fully adequate to accomplish all the objects proposed.

The funds for this purpose can only be obtained by the voluntary
contributions of such benevolent persons as are interested in the wel-
fare of the wide district of country referred to, or in the mitigation of
human suffering generally. It is estimated that at least 8,0001. will
be required to erect the necessary buildings, and to form a fund for
the permanent endowment of the Institution. Already considerable
progress has been made, principally in the North of Scotland, in pro-
curing subscriptions ; and hopes are confidently entertained that
with Metropolitan, and perhaps Colonial aid, the necessary fimds
will be obtained to secure this invaluable bobn for the poor, and re-
move one of the worst blots on the humanity of our countrymen.
The rules for the government of the Institution will be of course de-
termined at a general meeting of the Subscribers, and will be sub-
mitted to them on principles fitted to secure a liberal and efficient
system of management, comprehending the chief official ftmtionaries
of the district, but giving to the Subscribers due and ample powers of
control and recommendation.

We are, respectfully,
Your very obedient servants,

"The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in-
herent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented
through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such, among
others, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many questions
may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even to the
most cprifidential friend."—Stafford Gazette.
"Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto
neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the
medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are
concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere
routine practitioner would never dream of finding them ; traceable
to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal
springs of domestic misery, and premature mertall.y."—Wakefield

THE WEST INDIA MAIL.
SOUTHAMPTON. SUNDAY AFTERNOON.—The Tweed,
Royal Mail steam-ship, Captain Parsons, arrived this
morning, at half- past eleven o'clock, from the West India
Islands, with the usual mails, which will be dispatched
to town by the mail train, so that the letters and papers
may be delivered in the morning.
The dates of departure are—From Jamaica, 23d of
_ _

June ; Carthagena, 19th ; Demerara, 13th ; Trinidad,
20th ; Barbadoes, 21st ; Grenada, 26th ; and St. Tho-
mas, Ist July, at ten o'clock A.M., being exactly 19 days
from the latter place.
The Tweed has experienced nothing but slight S.E.
and E. winds since she left the Western Islands. She
was detained twenty-eight hours, in consequence of the
Lilly schooner not having arrived with the mails, some
anxiety for the salty of which wai felt previous to her
appearance, on the 23d. Tho Tweed started imme-
diately she had shipped the
The Tweed brings 73 p issengers, and an unusually
costly freight, consisting of 65,000 dollars, in gold and
gold dust shipped at Jamaica, on merchants' account ;
1 box of pearls, valued at 1,600 L, from Chagres ; 1 ditto
of precious stones, valued at 20,0001., from Cart hagena ,•
258 barrels 9 boxes and I tierce of ginger ; 50 tierces of
coffee (Jamaica) ; 10 bales of sarsaparilla, 15 boxes of
uccades, and a number of other packages of various
kinds of valuable merchandise.

Her Majesty's ship Pique was at Grenada, and the
Hyacinth sailed from Port Royal on the 21st of June.
At anchor at Port Royal was her Majesty's schooner

The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Dee, Captain
Hemsley, was in the Gulf of Mexico. She is the next
ship due, and may be expected about the sth proximo.
The Tweed spoke the brig Sea Witch in lat. 38 14
N., long. 29 59 W. ; all well.
THE EXPERIMENTAL SQUADRON.
The Tweed discerned the squadron off the Lizard
yesterday at noon. She was not sufficiently near to ob-
serve with any degree of accuracy their relative posi-
tions. It was obvious, however, that a three decker was

first (supposed to be the Q.leen) and the Admiral's ship
second. They were all standing to the west in lat. 49
30, lon. 5 43 %V., under a heavy press of' sail, 35 miles
from the Lizard, which bore not th-east. Captain Par-
sons had not sighted the land at the time the fleet was
first observed. The Rattler, steamer, was about two
miles astern of the whole, under canvass, but no steam.
There appeared to be ten vessels in the fleet, including
the Rattler.

There is but little news of importance from the
West India Islands. The Jamaica Railway is in
a state of forwardness, and no doubt exists as to its
opening for general traffic about the Ist of October.
The whole of the road, embankments, cuttings, &c.,
are finished, and, as near as possible, about one half
of the rails laid down. The first locomotive arrived
from England on the 15th of June, and an experi-
mental trip was to be made on that portion of the
line completed on the day the Tweed left—indeed,
when she left the harbour the steam from the engine
was plainly discernible. The whole of the population of
the island, from the richest to the poorest, were in high
ecstacies on the arrival of the locomotive, and great
numbers flocked to view it as an object of great curio-
sity ; they welcomed it as the precursor of the return of
prosperous times. _ _

The weather had been roost propitious. The fine rains
which had set in on the departure of the last mail for
England had continued, particularly in the south part of
the island. In some parts, however, they were so heavy
as to cause injury to property and loss of life. Two
young men, named M'Leod and M`Malon, in endeavour.
in to cross a river, were carried away and drowned.
A Mr. Shenton, too, of Metcalfe, lost his life, in conse-
quence of the upsetting of his boat, as he was returning
from a pleasure excursion. At Milk River a Dissenting
place of worship is stated to have been destroyed by the
impetuous torrent.

The coolies are progressing admirably, and are in
most friendly communion with the negroes. They are
represented as being extreme ly industrious, and anxious'
to give satisfaction to their employers.
The island is in a healthy state, and the same remark
may he applied to the troops. The crops have a very
favourable appearance ; in fact, much more so than for
many years. This is attributed not only to the rains,
but the introduction of guano, which has been exten-
sively used on some estates.

THE ARMY.
WAR-OFFICE CIRCULAR, Jinx 18, 1845.

I have the honour to acquaint you, with reference to Article
9 of the clothing warrant, that in those cases in which th e
Commander-in-Chief may think proper to grant his special
permission for the regimental clothing to be supplied in mate-
rials, in order that it may be made up at the head-quarters of
the regiment, the Colonel's responsibility for the safety of the
clothing will extend to the time when the whole of the clothing
shall be completed, and certified by the commanding officer of
the regiment to the Board of General Officers, to be ready for
delivery to the men.
I have to add, that a considerable loss having lately occurred
through the destruction by fire of a quantity of clothing mate-
rials, whilst in charge of a regimental master tailor, in process
of being made up, the several colonels of regiment. should be
aware that they will be held, in future, liable to risk arising
from any similar casualty, unless they protect themselves by in
curing t he clothing until it shall be ready for delivery.
I have the honour to be your obedient servant,
(Signed) SIDNEY HERBERT.

AstituRTON.—EARLY HARXIIST.—A fine field of
barley was cut on Thursday last, at-Fereeley Farm, about a
mile from this town. The lands in this part of the county of
Devon never presented a more cheering prospect than at the
present time. We have fine brilliant weather for the ripening
of the corn, which will be an abundant crop. Apples, potatoes,
grass, and all other kinds of awicultural produce was never
finer.
