" 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
others, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many questions
may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even to tho
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 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 fktal
springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Wakefield

The investigationß'tß yesterday,
when
Mr. Locke, lather of the celebrated engineer, was examined
thisrailway
was
resumed RAILWAY.
relative to the Barnsley and Silkestone coal-field, which was
still unwrought. By his evidence't appeared that the rail-
way
would pass through the of k Bretton, in
townships on
which there were 1,030 acres of coal bed ; Barnsley, 2,010
acres; Barughs, 5,080 acres • Dodworth, 6,219 acres;
Silkestone and Thurgsland, '4,040 acres. That the
quantity of coal likely to be raised was, from
the Woodmoor coal, 4,120,000 tons ; from the Barns-
ley thick bed, 20,100,000 tons ; the Silkestone Main
coal, 37,314,000 tons; and from the Wind Moor coal,
14,544,000 tons, making a total of 76,078,000 tons, together
with the opportunity of turning a bed of ironstone to better
account, which underlaid a space of 5,080 acres. He had
there for a number of y
been a coal surveyor
years, and had
formed his opinion of the quantities from actual survey.
Mr. Croft, a colliery overseer, bore testimony to the con-
venience which this railway would afford to the coalowners,
for conveying their coals to York, as well as to Hull and to
Lincoln.
Mr. Hopwood stated that the price of engine coal was
4s. 6d. a ton, and that of engine slack was 3s. a ton at the
pits, and that they had no outlet for their coal west-
ward, but that their outgoing was 50 tons a day, or
15,000 tons a year eastward, and that if they had an
outlet westward they would be able to supply a
considerable demand that way, but the greater
portion of the coals were passed by the Canal, and the Canal
Company were compelled, upon being required so to do, to
form a train-road from the pits to the canal.
Mr. J. W. BROWN, a coal agent, testified to the circum-
stance that the chief supply of coal for the Silkestone bed
went into Brigg, Grimsby, and other places in Lincolnshire ;
that before the opening of the Northern RailwaY, the quantity
of coal sent away was 102,000 tons, but since the opening of
that railway, the amount has been less than 65,000
tons, and that there had been a falling off in the supply
to the York, Selby, and other neighbouring markets
by more than 15,000 tons; that in consequence of
the expense of carriage the Silkestone coal was sold in York
at 11s. a ton, while the Durham coal was sold at 9s. 6d.,
and that if the railway was formed, the Silkestone coal
would be able to compete with the Durham coal ; that the
price at Selby was at present 10s. 4d., and if the railway
were formed the price would be from Bs. 3d. to Bs. 6d., but he
had not calculated what would be the expense of carrying
by waggon, the price at the pit's mouth being ss. 6d., and
the freight and tolls together being 4s. Bd., so that he was
not able to state what the precise saving by the railway
would be.
Mr. D. CRAELESWORTiI, a coalowner, stated that there
were no means of getting westward by canal, and that this
railway would give that facility. He had recently sunk two
new shafts, at the Higham pits, which had cost him
10,0001., from which communication was to be obtained by
means of a cutting with the Sheffield and Manchester
tunnel. They had three miles of canal unworked on
this particular bed ; and that it was' a very
large unworked bed, if not the very largest un-
wrought coal-Geld in England, and that the formation of
this railway would give the coalowners a double facility in I
the transit of their coals, and open up a road to Manchester,
where there was now no road at all. In the event of this
railway being formed, there would be tt•readier means of
putting the coals on to the railway than there now was of
putting them on the canal.
Mr. Rhodes, engaged in the woollen trade, stated that the
consumption of twenty-two manufactories at Glossop, which
was a town largely connected with the manufacture of cotton,
two hundred
was thirty thousand and twenty-eight tons during
six months, and that the price of this
inferior to the engine-slack at Barnsley, was on an average
7s. od., and that the additional quantity of coal con-
sumed in the manufactures there was about 20,000 tons for
the halt-year, and that the whole yearly consumption of
coal was 120,000 tons. If this railway were made he be-
lieved that the whole of this consumption would come from
the Barnsley district. The house coal now burnt in
Glossop was about 12s. a ton, and that coal had been de-
creased in price about 6d. a ton since the commencement of
the Sheffield and Manchester Railway, which
was not yet
completed.
Mr. Sidebotham, a large cotton-spinner at Hollingworth,
in Cheshire, stated that the coals which were used at his
works, which were witbin about half a mile of the Sheffield
and Manchester Railway, was 4s. 4%d. at the pit's mouth,
with an addition of 3s. 6d. for carriage, making 7s. 1014 d. a
ton, and that he used twent tons a day. He conceived-that
they would get the Silk stone coal; which was of a better
quality than that which they now used, at 2s. 6d. a ton
cheaper.
Mr. Bingley, a surveY.or tinder the I ncloaure Act, In the
liejabeit,ii-ood Pennistone, stated that the land inclosed
under the Act could not be brought into effective working
without the use of lime, and that if they could get lime
cheaper, as they would do by the formation of this rail-
way, they would use double the quantity they now did.
He conceived that the quantity used would be about 18,000
toils a year, the cost being 255. a ton, and the saving by the
railway would be Bs. 6d. a ton. The quantity applied wai
from 21 to 3 tons an acre.
Vir. • Jonathan Brown, lessee of the Greenmore stone
quarries, under Lord Wharncliffe, stated that he exported
&wilt 3,000 tons a year, most of which vent to the Mt'
