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
commttnioation 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 posit 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
*ill bring Liverpool within twenty-seven miles of Preston, and
thirty-three miles cf Blackburn. Another portion of the under-
taking will consist of a trunk line from Southport, passing St. John's,
in the village of Burscougb, 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, where 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
Railivay in Pendleton.
BY means of a junction with the Bolton and Leigh Railway at
Atherton, the advantages of this lino 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, lying 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-
poet 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. Tuontss 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 far 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 after I arose I lead 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, and they relieved me—within two
hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be
known all 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.—Yours
truly and respectfully, 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-
taut 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.

PROSPECTUS.
The object of the proposed undertaking is to unite the city of Exeter
with the towns of Yeovil and Bridport, as forming a part of the
great integral scheme for making the best direct railway cemunica-
tion from the metropolis, through Exeter to the important seaports and
harbours 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 it will join a proposed extension of the Berks and Hants
Railway from Hungerford, carried through the Pewsey Valley, as
shown more distinctly in the accompanying plan. The Berks and
Hants, and the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Bills have already
passed, and those lines are under construction. The Great Western
Railway Company will apply for the extension from Hungerfird 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 We) mouth Railway. From Axminster, the main line, in the
other direction, will proceed near to Lyme Regis, and thence to
Bridport, 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 per cent. 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 50/. each, upon which
a deposit of 51. 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-up 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, and 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.

HE public is most respectfully informed that
Messrs. NICOLL have received permission, according to the
specification in the Act 6 and I Viet., cap 61, to alter and otherwise
adapt the coat, known as the REGISTERED ?ALETOT, 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 119 W
method, Wh10), it is well known, does not umicrAsarily confine the
heat of the body, bat the material, thus eperateVtipon, remains
as porous as other th,it has not nndergono 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 fbr 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 by present railway and other conveyances.
Nicoll's Registered Paletot, used alone as a morning frock coat, not
over another, is Mund tQ be a most agreeable garment for Walking
exercise ; arid from the skilful way it is funned, it does not
confine the chest or shoulders, but has an equally neat and
gentlemanly appearance when worn hi cold wet weather, or in
the evening over a morning or dress 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 more than one of the
Crowned Heads of gizmo. 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 thcrefore necessarily excluded anything vulgar
or outré in appearance; would alone recommend itself to the notice of

GRETNA GREEN.—This celebrated scene of clan-
destine marriages, situated in Dumfries-shire, near the mouth
of the river Esk, nine miles north-west from Carlisle, is thus
described by Pennant :—" At a short distance from the bridge
is the little village of Gretna, the resort of all amorous
couples, whose union the prudence of parents or guardians
prohibits. Here the young pair may be instantly united by
a fisherman, a joiner, or a blacksmith, who marry from two
guineas a job to a dram of whisky. But the price is gener-
ally adjusted by the information of the postilions from Car-
lisle, who are in the pay of one or other of the above worthies ;
but even the drivers, in case of necessity, have been known to
undertake the sacerdotal office. This place is distinguished
from afar by a small plantation of firs, the Cyprian grove of
the place, a sort of landmark for fugitive lovers. As I had a
great desire to see the high priest, by stratagem I succeeded.
He appeared in the form of a fisherman, a stout fellow in a
blue coat, rolling round his solemn chops a quid of tobacco
of no common size. One of our party was supposed to come
to explore the coast; we questioned him about the price,
which, after eying us attentively, he left to our honour.
The Church of Scotland does what it can to prevent these
clandestine matches, but in vain ; for these infamous
couplers despise the fulmination of the Kirk, and excom-
munication is the only penalty it can inflict." The first
person that twined the bands of Hymen at famed Gretna, is
supposed to have been a man named Scott, who resided at
the Rigg, a few miles from the village, about the year 1750.
He was accounted a shrewd crafty fellow, and little more is
known of him. George Gordon, an old soldier, started up
as his successor, and after him came the noted Joseph Pais
ley, who first obtained the name of the " blacksmith," allu-
sive to Vulcan's employment as the celestial priest of matri-
mony. On more than one occasion he earned the handsome
fee of one hundred guineas. Lord Westmoreland, Lord
Deerhurst, and one or two others, paid fully , that sum, and
many of the inferior fees werd so large, that the " priest,"
had he been prudent, might have lived merrily and yet died
rich. But he liked his bottle too well for that, and the same
remark applies to his successors. After the decease of old
Joseph Paisley, the field lay more open for competition in the
trade, and at present there are, we believe, two or more rival
practitioners at Gretna. The marriage of Lord Wesmoreland
with the great heiress of Mr. Child, the banker, is remembered
for one circumstance. The fugitive pair -being closely pur-
sued, and nearly overtaken when within a few miles of " the
border," the Earl, to gain a start of ten minutes, drew a pis-
tol and shot the leading horse of Mr. Child's carriage. The
eldest daughter of this Gretna wedding, Lady Sophia Fane,
inherited the great fortune of her grandfather, including
Child's bank at Temple-bar, and having married Lord Jer-
sey, became mother of the Lady Adele Ibbetson.—Patrician.

EYE.—On Monday last, a family of six or eight
persons had a very narrow escape from death by poison. Mr.
Marshall, of Hoxne, having had some wheat dressed for seed
with arsenic, through mistake about half a coomb of this
wheat was sent to the millers and ground into lour, which
was made into bread. On Monday afternoon the family par-
took of the bread, and all retired to bed ; Mrs. Marshall,
after lying some time and unable to go to sleep, got up. The
first person she saw was one of her sons, sound asleep and
foaming at the mouth. On rousing him he complained of
pain in body, which was much swelled. The remainder
of the family were all called up, and medical aid procured.
On the surgeon's arrival he administered a powerful emetic,
which had the desired effect of saving their lives. One servant
boy had a relapse on Tuesday; but on Wednesday he
was better, and is now considered out of danger. It is hoped
this circumstance will be a warning to farmers to be cautious
of the wheat thus dressed. Most probably, had these indi-
viduals continued asleep, in the morning all would have been
past recovery.—Sussex Chronicle.

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 congregating 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 camp a short
time since. He had formerly held a commission in the
Mexican army. Ho 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 Major, 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-
chuka, 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 with 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
induced 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
wei 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
urea 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 recently 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 inure 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 enc imp:tents of the tributaries of
the Gaudalope and San Antonio, and intend removing
114,h 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 he 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 tha 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-
sarit s 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, 0et..16.)

On the south bank of the Si. 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.
