The proposed line is intended to commence at a point on the Great
North of England Railway, near Northallerton, taking part of the
branch line to Richmond, now before Parliament, and diverging from
it a short distance east of its terminus, thence following the south
side of the Tees Valley, up the Greta, over the line of the ancient
Roman way to Brough, forward within a short distance of Kirkby
Stephen, through the rich valley of the Eden, by way of Appleby,
and to join the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway near to Clifton, south
of Penrith. Diverting from this line, southward of Stainmore, a
branch will proceed through Ravenstonedale to join the Lancaster
and Carlisle Railway between Orton and Borrow Bridge. The direc-
tion of the proposed line is north-west, following the mail-coach
route from York to Carlisle, and involving the least sacrifice of
distance in connecting together the two great trunk lines of rail-
way, the eastern and western sides of the island.
The distance from Northallerton to Penrith will be sixty-one miles ;
of this fifty-five miles will be new railway, which, with the branch
to/Orton, seventeen additional miles, will form a total distance of
seventy-two miles.
The capital will be 1,500,0001., in 30,000 shares of fifty pounds
each. One-third=soo,ooo/.—of which is placed at the disposal of the
Lancaster and Carlisle Board, to be appropriated amongst the parties
interested in that Company. The revenue will be derived from pas-
sengers travelling from all the eastern districts of the island south of
Darlington to Scotland, and from the counties of Durham and Nor-
thumberland to Lancashire, and the west of England, and Ireland.
In addition to the proceeds from passengers and goods, a very large
income will accrue from the extensive mineral resources of the
country. A better access will be made to the Lead Mines of Mid-
dieton-in-Teesdale, and to those in lestmorland. The line will
run near a large district of iron-stone, and become the channel for
the coal of Durham to pass into East Cumberland, Westmorland,
the north-west of Yorkshire, and Lancashire north of the Wyre. It
will form a junction between the Baltic ports of the Wear and the
Tees and the western ports of Lancaster, Fleetwood, and Liverpool.
To increase the traffic to these large importing harbours, new docks
are now making at Hartlepool, and the Tees river has been declared
a "free port" to all vessels.
There are no canals in the district, and no direct competing rail-
ways. The local traffic is now conveyed by carts, while the through
traffic is conveyed front Manchester to Newcastle by York on the
one hand, or by Carlisle on the other. Stainmore is the route for the
agricultural produce of Cumberland passing into the colliery and
mining districts of Durham.-
The general traffic has been estimated to yield an adequate return
for the proposed capital.
For the purpose of securing the coal trade a Branch will be made
from West Auckland to the line between Greta Bridge and Bowes.
This Branch will connect Barnard Castle with the Coal District as
well as give to that town a road to the south-west and to the north.
At West Auckland the Durham coal-field is already open in every
direction by railways already formed.
The usual clause will he inserted in the Act, for limiting the liability
of Shareholders to the amount of their respective Shares.

SAMUEL, BROTHERS, Proprietors.
We confidently and positively assert that our system will effect a
greater saving to the public in the article of dress, than has ever yet
been realised ; we rely not alone on its noT elty, for it only needs to
he once tested to be universally encouraged. We are aware that
there is a general impression that lowness of price necessarily in-
volves inferiority of quality ; but we unhesitatingly say, that with
the facilities fortunately at our command, we can secure lowness of
prices with every other concomitant advantage. The Establishment
of SAMUEL, BROTHERS, is the first (we may say) in the world
which has originated the judicious plan to which publicity is now
given—a plan which cannot fail to be hailed with admiration, be-
cause, while it realises the most sanguine hopes of the economist, it
will be a source of pride to its Inventors, based as it is on the most
enlightened views, and conducted as it will be upon the most honour-
able principles.

JOHN BURGESS and SON'S long-established and much-esteemed
ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES continues to be prepared by them after
m the sae manner that has gi
—veil the greatest satisfaction for many
years.
Wareheuse, 107, Strand, corner of Savoy steps,
London.

We will now state in what the novelty covsists, though simple in
its details, it is most beneficial to the public in its operation, and is
neither more nor less than this,—Every customer will be enabled
to ascertain the value and qnantity of material required for every
variety of garment. Each and every Cloth, Cassmerc, Doeskin, &c.
being marked in plain figures at the price per yard, such price being
the same as would be charged upon the purchase of the material
by wholesale. We slisll explain to our patrons the exact quantity
that will be necessary for the particular article of dress wanted, and
we shall charge separately for the making and trimmings. This
system as a trial of Its operation will abundantly demonstrate),
will effect a saving of full one-third of the exper.se of the articles re-
quired in Gentlemen's dress.

GREAT NOVELTY IN PERIODICAL LITERATURE.
On the Ist of May next,

rinHE ILLUMINATED MAGAZINE
gill be issued as a Bound Volume, without extra charge.

The issuing of a Magazine In bound volumes monthly will remove
the great objection to periodical publications when sent out in paper
covers. They are always unsightly, are frequently lost by being scat-
tered about, and give an appearance of carelessness and neglect to
the drawing-room-or library table, where neatness and elegance
arrangement are so desirable.

The plan on which the New Series of the ILLUMINATED MAGA-
ZINE will be issued will obviate these objections; it will nirnish
every month, to the book-case or library,
A HANDSOME BOUND VOLUME,
(Price Ono Shilling and Sixpence)

In small Bvo., which will be enriched with the best Artistic and Li-
terary talent of the day.

This important undertaking In connexion with the projected Lei-
cester and Birmingham Line, and the existing Midland Railways,
will form the most complete and direct line of communication yet
projected between the great corn-producing counties of Norfolk, and
Lincoln, 'and the populous manufacturing- districts of the Midland
Counties, of which Birmingham is tho centre.
It will; in conjunction with the line via East Dereham to Lynn,
and the Norwich and Yarmouth Railway, establish a direct commu-
nication from Yarmouth and Norwich to Birmingham.
By means of its junction with the proposed Cambridge and Lin-
coln or the London and York lines, as the case may be, it will also
bring within the range of its advantages the whole of the country
between Lincoln and Peterborough.
The part of the line extending from Boston by Spahling to Market
Deering, and the Branch from Spalding to Lynn, will also form the
direct route to London from those towns and the country northward
thereof as far as the Humber. _ _ . .

On the'other hand, it will bring the whole of this highly cultivated
and populous county into direct and immediate communication with
the great coal-fields of Leicestershire and Warwickshire ; the pro-
posed line of the Leicester and Birmingham Railway passing through
the latter, and a Branch Line from the Leicester and Swannington
Railway to the Midland Railway, at Broughton, uniting it with
the former.

By these means the price of coals will be reduced one-half at Stam-
ford and the adjacent towns—an advantage in which this under-
taking will possess a decided superiority over any other that has been
or can be proposed.
By the junction of this line, at Nuneaton, with the Trent Valley
Railway, it will also form the most direct communication between
Yarmouth, Norwich, Lynn, Boston, Spalding, Stamford, and all the
intermediate towns, and Manchester, Liverpool, and North Wales;
and, by means of the railways centering at Birmingham, with Bris-
tol and the whole of the west of England and South Wales.
A glance at the map will show that no line that can be devised will
so completely effect all the objects of a grand east and west commu-
nication as the one now proposed.
The lint of country traversed by the railway Is not less favourable
in an engineering point of view. From Lynn and Boston to Stam-
ford, two-thirds of the whole line, the country is one uniform plain;
from thence the line follows the Valley of the Welland to or near to
Market Harborongh, and then passes over an easy country to the
Midland Railway.
The enormous exports of corn and other agricultural produce from
Lynn, Boston, Wisboach, and Spalding, and the corresponding im-
ports of manufactured and other goods to those towns, it is confi-
dently expected will of themselves yield an abundant source of
traffic for this Railway ; but when to this is added the great facili-
ties of intercommunication which the line will afford, bringing within
a few hours' distance the Eastern and Western Coasts of the Island,
and to this is added the entire supply of inland coals throughout the
country traversed by the Railway, there can be no doubt that it
will yield a very ample return for the capital required for its forma-
tion.
Applications may be addressed in the annexed form to the

The peculiar advantages of the system o: SAMUEL, BROTHERS,
may be practicably excmpliflqcl as follows:—
The average quantity of Cloth for a Coat Is IN yards, suppose
that selected be Bs. per yard, the material would cost 145., cur
charge for making and trimmings would be 18s., thus a really good
serviceable Coat completed in the best style will be made to measure
for 325. Again, suppose the Cloth selected to be 128. per yard, the
material would cost 215., our charge would be 20s. for making and
trimmings, and thus a first-rate Coat maße to measure and cent-
pleted in the best style will be obtained for 415., few, if any, charge
less than 50s or 525. for the same article. The same saving will be
effected in every description of Clothing.
The extensiveness of our stock enables us to offer Cloths at from
ss. to 21s. per yard. Our charge for nicking and trimmings for
Cloths under 10s. per yard is 18s. and for the higher price Cloths 20s.
We have entered Into arrangements with the first manufacturers of
Wool Dyed Black Cloths for a regular supply, the wear of which we
can guarantee to be superior to anyyct made, as they are finished
on an entirely new principle.

Artists of the first talent in the Empire are engaged to superintend
the Cutting Department, so that we feel certain of pleasing the most
fastidious, who will have such superior fitting garments, that they
Will pronounce them faultless. The greatest attention will be paid
to the workmanship, as well as style, of all articles. In quality of
cloths, variety of patterns for Trousers—richness and novelty in de-
signs of Vestings, we flatter ourselves that we have a stock that will
please every beholder.

TUE BEST APERIENT AND ANTIBILIOUS MEDICINE FOR
GENERAL USE IS
FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH which
effectually relieves the stomach and bowels by genie relaxa-
tion, without griping or prostration of strength. They remove
head-ache, sickness, dizzioess, pains in the chest, &c., are highly
grateful to the stomach, promote digestion, create appetite, relieve
languor and depression of spirits ; while to those of a full habit, and
free livers, who are continually suffering from drowsiness, heaviness,
and singing in the head and ears, they offer advantages that will not
fail to be appreciated.
This Medicine has for many years received the approval of the
most respectable classes of society, and in confirmation of its effi-
cacy, the follewhw letter has been kindly forwarded to Mr. Front,
with permission to publish it, and, if requisite, to refer any respect-
able person to its author:—
" Te Mr. Front, 229, Strand, London.
" Ileavitree, Exeter, April 24, 1844.
" SIR,- -I feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and I}loo-
- testimony to the excellence of your " Frampton's Pill of
Health," which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and very superior
general medicine. The widow of an officer, an elderly lady, and
near relative of mine, has used them—very rarely having recourse
to other medicines for a long period of years; she has recommended
them extensively, and in one instance in which she induced a person
to adopt them, and supplied the first box herself, they have proved of
extraordinary efficacy. I think that perhaps there is scarcely any
other of the many patent medicines before the public of equal value
as a " friend in need"—certainly none possessed of superior claims.
I shall be happy on all occa.iions to give them my individua worn-
, mendation, and am, Sir, " Your obedient servant,

Noblemen and Gentlemen on inspecting our mode of transacting
business, will be astonished at the saving they may effect in their
Liveries, in many instances nearly one-half.
We beg to remind our friends that the smallness of our profit's will
not allow us to run the least risk in giving credit, our system com-
pelling us strictly to adhere to ready money, but in order to Ore
every satisfaction, we promise that should an article (after it has beon
paid for) not please, we will exchange it, or return the money without
demur.

VARIOUS OPINIONS!
What thousands of people in all our dominions,
Give GITe 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 Hymn's matchless clothing ! It may naturally be asked by
some, " Why does Hyam maintain such unbounded popularity?"
We gladly reply to-this question,—
Firstly. Ins cloths are purchased from the most noted manufac-
turers in England, and are paid for in cash.
SecondrY. Having cloths of a first-rate character, ho 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 Hymn'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 Rally 40 per
cent. cheaper ! !
Now, these are the reasons why through'the dominion,
Of " Hymn's famed clothes" there's one only op
• And that is expressed in a manner so clear,
That unbounded success Is his portion each year !!

" 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 suck, among
ethers, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many questions
may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even to the
most confidential 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 then 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 thtal
springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Wakefield

largest scale, at their several establishments, and to maintain their
supremacy over all others. Sixty years' experience, added to the
unvarying favour of the publicsduring that long period, have enabled

ky LIQUID lIAIR DTE.—The thousands of individuals who
have had the pleasure of using Spencer's Chinese Liquid Hair Dye,
pronounce it to be the only dye extant which will effectually change,
in a few minutes, red or grey hair to a dark brown or. black, and it
can be proved incontestibb- that it is the safest dye in its use that
ever was prepared. Red or grey hair, whiskers, eyebrows, mous-
taches, &c., are changed without trouble, by simply using a comb
wetted with the liquid ; one application will produce a pleasing and
a permanent change. The colour it imparts to the hair can never be
discovered to have been effected by dye, it being so perfectly natural,
and neither washing, perspiration, or anything will in the least fade
or affect the colour produced. Hundreds of ladies who wore false
hair, because their own became grey, wear new their own. Also,
thousands of gentlemen who had grey or red whiskers, which was a
great disfigurement, have become quite dark from the use of
SPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID lIAIR DYE. Any lady or gen-
tleman may dye their hair with ease and secrecy in a few minutes
without trouble. Price 3s. Gd., Gs., and 10s. per bottle.

PRACTICAL OBSERVA
arLik
DISEASES MOST FAT
4-0. By P. Hood.
A good practical work on the diseases 'of chili's-. a
has long been a desideratum in medical literature. Lt
is now nearly fifty years since Dr. Michael Unde
wood published his treatise on the subject, and frela
that period up to the present time we have had no
work exclusively devoted to the consideration ef
these diseases which can be considered as a text-book.
The various discoveries which have been made in
medical science since the days of Underwood have
rendered his work obsolete and comparatively uselcs
while the manner in which diseases generally, hat
more especially the diseases of children, have been
modified by the changes which have Wien place in
our social condition during the course of the last h if
century, has rendered some new work on the tree--
ment of these diseases absolutely necessary, \Ve rP •
joice to find that the subject has fallen into the han'ls
of Mr. Hood. Possessing high scientific attainmen. ,
habits of acute and judicious observation, consider:, t a
experience in the treatment of the diseases of cbi;• -
hood, and a fund of shrewd common sense, he is ti-s
very man to supply the want which has be -n so h
felt in medical literature; and accordingly he
furnished us with the very best book that has 14--
peered on the subject since the commencement
of the present century. his chapter on ir,i-
tation is admirable, and should be not only
read, but stedied, by every medical prectitioner.
We entirely concur with him in reprehending the
practice of attributing every disease of infancy to`
inflammation, and attacking it at once with leech, s,
calomel, and depleting 'remedies, and we rejoice to
find that tl e BrousSais theory is rapidly going out of
vogue, and that more rational views as to the nature
of disease are beginning to find favour with the
profession. _

• " The mode of treatment developed in the
pages is founded on the principle that the diseases (1
children, and of adults also, proceed from irritation, con-
sidered in a general sense, as distinct from inflammation,
and indicating an opposite course of treatment. Hari,
s 3 frequently witnessed the beneficial effects of Ali;
mode of treatment, not only in the diseases of childrett
expressly mentioned in-the following pages, but in other s
also, whether occurring in children or adults, I bat,%
ventured to publish the present work, with the view of
calling the attention of both medical
,practitioners at.d
parents more expressly to the subject.'
The advocates of the depleting treatment say that
irritation leads to inflammation, but in reply Air.
!food observes : " It is possible that thii may occur
in the diseases of adults; but my experience leads me
to doubt if ever it occurs in the diseases of infantts."
Our own experience, during the course of -a tolerably
extensive practice, fully bears out the truth of Mr.
Hood's observations. As a proof that convulsions
arise not from inflammation, but from irritation, he
relates the following cases—

" It is related that a nobleman of the highest rank,
after anxiously waiting many years for a son and heir,
had at length his wishes gratified. Th© christening was
to be celebrated with great pOrnp; and to make it more
imposing, it was determined that it should be performed
at night. The apartments were lighted with the utmost
brilliancy ; the company were all assembled, and the
infant duke was brought into the drawing -room. The
sudden glare of light caused almost instantaneous con-
vulsions, from which the child never recovered.

" 1)r. Garthshorc's son married a lady very highly
connected, and her son—provided she had one—was to
inherit a large estate. Consequently, when her first sou
was born, there were great rejoicin!rs at his christening;
and a bishop, who was related to the mother, was invited
to perform the ceremony. When he arrived, the ser-
vants knocked so loudly et the door that the child was
frightened into convulsions, from which it never re-
covered, but died soon after."

The following observations on the consequences of
over study, and on the ill effects which too frequently
arise from gymnastic exercises, are worthy the at-
tentive consi,teration cf every parent.

" As, in the earlier stages of life, the organs qf respi-
ration suffer most from irritation, so, in children o? more
advsnced age, the brain is the organ which most fre.
quently suffers from increased nervous excitement.
" The strong desire manifested by many parents to
make their children clever is too common at this period;
and the means employed to effect this is frequently one
of the causes of functional derangement of the brain, in
consequence of its being forcibly and unnaturally ex -
cited. It is in children of acute sensibility that attacks
of this nature are usually witnessed. Such children are
mostly of slighter figure, and are more easily excited
than those of a robust frame. They are precocious
children,' and their temperament is chiefly nervous.
" I may here remark that gymnastic exercises are
often adopted to make up for the deficiency of the more
natural and healthy exercise of walking and running;
and ate looked upon as even more than equivalent to
those free and unconstrained movements, which nature
dictates to the young. Those artificial substitutes fur
natural exercise have a very baneful tendency. All ex-
ercise is hurtful to the young which does not equally
bring into action the whole of the muscles of the body
at the same time. In this system, there is violent and
forced action of the muscles of the arms at one time, and
of the legs at another, so that some portion or other of
the body must, of necessity, be overstrained;—besides
the absurdity of making children perform that amount
of labour (pleasure it is called) which is scarcely safe
for adolfs. It is as unsafe to disturb the healthy equi-
librium of muscular action in the young, as it is to
demand of them that exercise of the brain, which shou:d
only Le koked for at a more aaitture age, when the body
has experienced a correeeponding development."
Mr. Hood has conferred a great obligation upon
society at large by the publication of this really use-
ful and thoroughly practical treatise. That his
positions will be attacked by the men of one idea who
see inflammation, and inflammation only in every dis-
ease, is to be expected ; hut let any impartial ob-
server compare the results of the two modes of treat-
ment, and lie will not fail to be convinced that the
views of Mr. Hood are correct. The day is not far
distant when those views will be universally adoptc 1,
and when that shall be the case, the present great and
frightfully disproportionate rate of mortality in chit
dren will disappear. We recommend this work to
the attentive study of every parent and of every me-
dical practi• ion er.
