The Caledonian Railway has been recommended by the Board of
Trade as the best trunk communication through Scotland, and may
conflden 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 ineetink,s 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 are in themselves wholly desti-
tute ; while the Westein 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 from 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 might 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 flirther remarks that '6 The whole distance from Berwick to
the water summit being 7754 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 in 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 will 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.
COST AND SURVEY.
The length of Railway which it is necessary to construct for the
accomplishment of the whole important objects above specified will
be about 104 miles ; and, from surveys already made and an estimate
given by Mr. Locke, the Committee are assured that the Capital of
1,500,0001. will be sufficient to cover the whole expense.
TRAFFIC.
The traffic will embrace--let, on the Eastern portion, the carriage
of the whole minerals required for Ilk extensive manufacturing dis-
tricts around Galashiels, Hawick, Melrose, and Selkirk, consisting of
timber, slate, coal, lime, lead, and iron, which must be conveyed to
them on this Railway ; whilst their vast woollen manufactures, con-
sisting of tweeds, blanketting, shawls, plaidhigs, &c. &c. as well as
raw material, must pass in return; and 2d, the conveyance of
agricultural produce from the highly-cultivated South-eastern districts
of Scotland and Northumberland to the dense population and
mining and manufacturing districts of the West. Upon a calculation,
based upon Mr. Telford's estimate, it can be shown that, at the
present day, a return of upwards of five per cent. may be reckoned
upon from those sources alone, after deducting forty per cent. for
expenses.
On the Western portion of the line to Ayr and Kilmarnock, a very
large mineral and goods traffic may be relied on, independent of the
Eastern Extension.
From the very highly-important districts which those' lines in-
tersect, a very large passenger-traffic may be calculated upon, not
only of a local, but of a general nature.
From these sources the Committee feel themselves justified in cal-
culating on an ample return for the capital required.
The Subscribers' agreement will contain wers to the Provisional
Directors to be thereby appointed to fix the p porecise extent and course
of the line, and the position of the termini, as circumstances may
render desirable, and powers will be taken in the Act of Parliament
to grant a lease of the works to the Caledonian Railway Company at
a rent of four per cent. and one half of the surplus profits.
Application for shares to be made to Messrs. Foster and Braith-
waite, London, Brokers, 64, Broad-street, with whom copies of the
Prospectus and maps of the line will be lodged on and after 16th inst.

DUPREZ AT DRURY-LANE.
Duprez is delighting the public again
Off the stage of the Theatre Royal Drury-lane ;
And thousands admire the vocalist's skill,
Which causes the house every evening to fill.
The surprising effect which he gives to a song
Has met with unequalled success all along.
Our reason for mentioning Duprez in print,
Is clearly displayed in the following hint :
This singer, whose voice can be rivalled by none,
Should sing a choice song for E. MOSES and SON.
Such extensive commercial achievements as ours
Are rutted to such a choice vocalist's powers;
What thousands of people would throng Drury-lane,
If Duprez were to sing Messrs. MOSES a strain ;
And how would the crowding assemblage rejoice,
To hear him thus nobly employing his voice.
A thing such as this might be very soon done,
For the words could be written by MOSES and SON ;
And the wonderful singer himself could prepare
A touching, a bold, and a suitable air.
Such words and such music, with choice adaptatioa.
Would obtain for the singer increased approbation ;
And a merited honour would also be done
To the trading achievements of MOSES and SON.
A new work, entitled " THE LEVIATHAN OF TRADE," with
full directions for Self-.Measurernent, may be had on application,
or forwarded post-free.

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 :

Fiddle. Threaded. King's.

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

should possess themselves of this useflal Book, which may be had

PATENT PARAGON CAMPIIIITE 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 farming 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.

C. Watson's Warehouses, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton
Folgate, will contain, throughout the season, all the most elegant
recherchè and new patterns, comprising Or-molu, China, Glass, and
Opal.
Old 011 Lamps fitted with the Paragon Head for 21s. And the
Paragon Apparatus applied to the Vesta for 6s. The Spirit analysed
and recommended by Dr. ITre, Is delivered in screw cans by C.

VARIOUS OPINIONS!
What thousands of people in all our dominions,
Give vent to their feelings by different opinions !
Such is an undisputed fact ; and in good honest truth we feel not
the least surprise at it; but when we can name one subject on which
all the world are unanimous, then indeed we may well express as-
tonishment and wonder, and infer that it must be stamped with ex-
cellence and perfection ; and such is the character universally con-
ceded to llyam's matchless clothing ! It may naturally be asked by
some, " Why does Hyam maintain such unbounded popularity ?"
We gladly reply to this question.—
Firstly. His cloths are purchased from the most noted manufac-
turers in England, and are paid for in cash.
Secondly. Having cloths of a first-rate character, he employs
cutters of immense talent and experience to cut those materials into
the newest style of fashion.
Thirdly. The next essential is " good, substantial workmanship,"
and in this respect llyam's establishment ranks higher than any other
house in the kingdom.
Fourthly. His clothing is proverbially acknowledged to be " su-
perior" to any other manufactured, and yet it is sold ffilly 40 per
cent. cheaper ! !
Now, these are the reasons why through the dominion,
Of " llyam's famed clothes" there's one only opinion !
And that is expressed in a manner so clear,
That unbounded success is his portion each year !!

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 frequently 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 /ow.
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
hthose fluids whieh
might otherwise terminate in Dropsy. They ave been found of
infinite service, both in England and during Dr. Harvey's practice in
the East Indies, in preventing and curing the Jaundice ; in passing
off Gall Stones and restoring a healthy action to the Liver. Ladles
per box. Sold also by Sanger, 150
will find them particularly beneficial both before and after their
confinement.
These trely excellent Pills are to be procured genuine of Edwards,
67, St. Paul's Church-yard, whose name will be engraved on the Go-
vernment Stamp- Price la. lid.

assemble'
yesterday at the . mrt-hoase, _awell-green, for the
purpose of receiving the reports of tlie,varieus metropolitan
prisons, and for the dispatch of generaL:AantY ,business ;
Mr. Pownall in the chair.
The minutes of the last Court were read and confirmed.
The Deputy Clerk of the Peace laid before the Court the
bills and papers presented to Parliament which may affect
the interests of the county, amongst which there is a peti-
tion from the vestry of the parish of Marylebone to the
House of Commons, complaining of the manner in which the
County Lunatic Asylum at Hanwell is conducted.
Sir P. LAURIE said he understood that it was the intention
of Sir James Graham to move that Lord Ashley do form a
Committee to investigate the affairs of that Asylum.
The memorial was not read, but referred to the Parlia•
mentary and Hanwell Asylum Committee.
lIANWELL LUNATIC ASYLUM(.

A special report of the Committee of Visiting Justices of
this Asylum was read. It stated that the number of pauper
lunatics in the county had lately increased to an alarming
extent, the number of patients having been double the
amount during the last ten years. It also referred to the
want of sufficient accommodation for the pauper lunatics of
the county. •
A very warm discussion took place upon the subject.
during which Mr. Tulk spoke at considerable length, and
alluded to the petition presented to the House of Commons
by the vestry of the parish of St. Marylebone, in which they
charge the Committee of Visiting .Justices with having
acted•injuriously to the interests of the county, by the mode
they conduct that establishment, in refusing to receive a
certain class of patients sent by the parish of Marylebone;
but they (the Committee) had no power to act in the way
which that parish desired—namely, that of admitting old
and chronic cases, and allowing them to remain iu the
asylum.

-Several gentlemen addressed the meeting on the same
subject. _ _ _

The report was ultimately ordered to be printed and circu-
lated previous to the next Court day.
The reports of the Visiting Justices of the different prisons
were read; the remarks contained therein did not exhibit
anything of importance, they merely alluded to the health
and conduct of the prisoners in the respective gaols, which
was generally good.
The reports were received. After disposing of some other
business, a county rate of three farthings in the pound was
made, and the meeting separated.
