TABLE ECONOMY ; a Treatise on the Management of
Horses in relation to Stabling, Grooming, Feeding, Wa-

By JOHN STEWART, Veterinary Surgeon,
Professor of Veterinary Medicine in the Andersonian Uni-

versity, Glasgow.
" The Stable, the Groom, the Food, the Water, and the
Work, each should contribute to raise the value of the Horse ;
but each may be misguided, and each may lend its aid to
make him worthless."
" There can be no doubt about Mr. Stewart's book being
long destined to continue the manual of that large class of
persons employed in the practical operations of stable econo-
my in its various branches. No groom, coachman, helper,
carter, or ploughman, should be without it. Each will find
in it plain and copious details referring to the ordinary busi-
ness of his life, and much valuable assistance in those casual-
ties upon which he must reckon more or less.”—Sporting

DIRECTIONS.
Any individual witnessing an act of cruelty can, upon de-
claring his or her name and address to any police officer or
constable, require him to take the offender into custody, and
forthwith convey him before any magistrate, within whose
jurisdiction the offence shall have been committed.
If no police-officer or constable be near at hand, the best
a
course is to obtain the name, address, and number, upon the
cart or waggon—or if omnibus, car, or coach, take the num-
ber, and report the particulars of the case at the office of the
Society
Copies of the Act of Parliament, and full information upon
all points, may be had of the Agent of the Society, as above.
Donations and Subscriptions received by the Treasurer, the
Members of the Committee, at the Bank of Liverpool, and
at the Agents, 39, Ran elagh-s treet.
An annnal subscription of ten shillings will constitute a

ber for life ; nevertheless, smaller sums will be thankfully
received, and, as donations, publicly acknowledged.

To the Directors of the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and
Manchester Railway Company.
Gentlemen,-1 beg to submit to you the following report
of the state of the works now in operation :
No. 1, oil. ARDWICK CONTRACT.

The long embankment at the commencement of this con-
tract is going on well ; locomotive power being now employed
to transport the earth for its formation. The brick retaining
walls are completed, and the occupation bridges are in an
advanced state from the Pottery-lane to the Stockport canal.
The aqueduct which passes the railway under this canal is
finished, and a single line of permanent road is laid for three-
quarters of a mile in length from this point. A considerable
quantity of spoil cutting has been disposed of west of " Trail
Dogs."

No. 2, OR NEWTON CONTRACT.
A length of half a mile at the westerly end of this contract
has been formed ready to receive the ballast for the permanent
way. The only work of consequence on this portion of the
line is the Tame valley embankment, which is being carried
forward from each end, a temporary bridge having been
erected over the Peak Forrest canal to avoid the stoppage
which would otherwise have taken place until the permanent
bridge was finished. The masonry on this contract is in a
very advanced state. Nearly a mile has been formed and
balasted at Duckinfield, for the permanent road, which will
very shortly be laid at that place.
No. 3, OR HATTERSLEY CONTRACT.
A good deal of work has been executed on this length since
my last report. The viaduct at Mr. Turner's is ready for
receiving the centres, the piers being all up to the springing
level. The arches across the turnpike road at Godley are
finished, and the embankment at that place is in active pro-
gress. The spoil cutting at Hattersley presents an animated
picture from the number of men employed there. The Hat-
tersley tunnel, from the large quantity of water and quick-
sand has only been worked from one shaft.

A side drift is, however, in progress, which will remove
this difficulty, and we will shortly be enabled to advance here
more rapidly. The retaining walls opposite to Harewood
Lodge are also in progress.
No. 4, OR ETHEROW VIADUCT.
Since my last report this viaduct has been let to Messrs.
Henry and Co., and consisted of four stone arches. In con-
sequence of the opposition of the lessee of the land upon
which one.of the piers was to have been placed, it is thought
probable that the design of this bridge may be altered to one
which will span across the ground in dispute. If this be the
case a timber structure upon stone piers will be the cheapest
and most expeditious mode of obviating the difficulty—no
time will be lost in getting this matter settled.

5, OR GAMELY CONTRACT

The embankments at each end are going on favourably
from the cutting in the centre. This is a short contract and
almost entirely earthwork.

SUMMIT TUNNEL

The works at the summit are now in a much more favour-
able position than they have been. In the western driftways
a bed of shale has been entered upon, and it is expected to
continue for some distance.

No. 1 shaft has been delayed in consequence of an accident
which happened to the engine there. It has at length, how-
ever, been put right, and the sinking recommenced. We
have been much delayed by Water at all the other shafts, but
they are nevertheless steadily progressing, every precaution
having been taken to keep out the various springs. The
eastern driftways in consequence of the rock being more open
are advancing rapidly.
In conclusion, I have much pleasure in stating that the
works are going on very satisfactorily, and that much acti-
vity is displayed on all the contracts. I am, gentlemen, your
obedient servant, ALFRED S. JEE.

and FRIENDS of the above-named SOCIETY, that Mr.
JOSEPH CRISP has been appointed Assistant Secretary and
Collector to the Society, and Messrs. G. H. and J. Sarr-rm,
Booksellers, Berry-street, opposite St. Luke's Church,
Agents and Depositaries, where, in future, the Subscribers
to the Society and the Public will be supplied with the Pub-
lications of the Society. Particular attention is called to the
Society's Edition of " Fox's MARTYROLOGY," arid other
Works of Church authority, now in the course of publication
in volumes, containing separate Histories, and in the form
of Tracts.—Subscriptions and Contributions to the Society
will be thankfully received by G. B. CARTER, Esq., Trea-

most Gracious Majesty the Queen, her Majesty the Queen
Dowager, her Majesty the Queen of Holland, and Royal
Family, has the honour to announce that she has arrived at
MRS. RILEY'S, 76, SEEL-STREET, seven doors from
Berry-street, where she will remain till Monday, the Ist
March, to suit Ladies with her celebrated newly-invented
ANATOMICAL, DRESS, &c., &c., STAYS, which by
the total rejection of all uneven pressure, may be worn by
the most delicate invalid, at the same time yielding a most
salutary support, snd producing a figure of such exquisite
symmetry, that, attempted by any other stay, would almost
amount to suffocation. To young ladies, and growing chil-
dren, this invention may be termed of vital importance, as it
is during the first thirty years of female existence that the
ordinary stay produces its fatal consequences, and engenders
in the system a variety of frightful diseases, ninety-seven of
which are quoted at length, with their authorities, in "De-
formities of the Chest and Spine," by W. Coulson, Esq.;
second edition.

CERTAIN CURE OF BLINDNESS.
MR. BAXTER, OCULIST, WARREN-STEET,
LIVERPOOL.
AIR. BAXTER, having been nearly six months in Liver-
"' pool, and completed some remarkable cures, testimo-
nials of which are attached to this advertisement, is desirous
of taking up his permanent residence in Liverpool. He,
therefore, begs to make the fol;owing proposal to those who
have the means and the wish of assisting their fellow crea-
tures labouring under the distressing malady of blindness.
Mr. Baxter proposes to reside in Liverpool, if 25 subscri-
bers of one guinea each will conic forward, who shall be al-
lowed to recommend one patient at a time for a year. There
are numbers of poor persons who are quite destitute of the
means of procuring assistance, and who would be grateful
for advice.

In submitting the following testimonials to the notice of
the Ladies and Gentlemen of Liverpool, Mr. Baxter does
so, in the hope that the strictest inquiry will be made into

every case

Mr. Baxter will, if possible, commence his Opthalmic
Establishment Ist March next.

about nine years afflicted with bad eyes, he acknowledges
that he cannot describe the very great benefit that he has re-

Sia,—This is to certify, that I was nearly blind (amaurosis)
of the right eye, and very deficient of sight of the other eye,
it having been gradually failing for years, and being in my
70th year, I had given up all hopes ; but hearing of the cures
you were performing in ,Liverpool, induced me to make a
trial, and I am happy to say, that after being under your
treatment ffor one month, I can now see to read tolerably
well without the aid of glasses.—Given in my hand-writing

FREDERICK HAMILTON,

Sir,—For the good of the public, and especially those who
are labouring under the distressing malady of blindness, I
here insert that my daughter, Mary Leech, 15 years of age,
was blind, through a violent inflammation and films, and
was in the North Staffordshire Infirmary for a length of time,
where she was severely blistered and leeched, &c., until her
eyes were sunk in her head, and after that golden ointment
was applied to- her eyes with care, but all to no service ; but
hearing of your ability as an oculist, and the cures you had
performed, I wrote for X 1 worth of your eye medicines,
giving you every particular of her case, on the Ist day of
April, 1840; and, thank God ! in one month she could see
to read the smallest print, and has remained perfect ever
since. And, sir, my youngest daughter, Emma, had very
bad eyes at the time, to which I applied your medicines, and
she was made perfect.—Given in my handwriting this 14th
day of January, 1841. WM. LEECH,

desires to state that he is perfectly restored to sight, and is
happy that he had the chance of meeting with your valuable
medicines.

Sir,—l was for three years totally blind of my left eye, and
could only pereeive the shadow of a person passit6- me with
the right eye (the complaint being amaurosis); but, after
being under your treatment for two months, I am happy to
say that my leftleye is perfect, and my right eye (that on
which I was entirely dark) I can now see a little with ; for
which I feel thankful to God, and greatly obliged to you.—

JAMES FRANCIS,

North Bradley, near Trowbridge, Wiltshire

Sir,—l am a seafaring man, of the age of 36 years, and
have been afflicted for eight years with a deficiency of sight.
For the last three months I have been on shore in nearly
utter darkness, and could get no relief from the doctors here,
who call it arnaurosis ; but hearing of your cures of blkd-
ness in the newspapers, induced me to send for £1 worth of
your medicines, being the sum stated in the advertisement;
and in nine days I feel my sight a great deal better, and I
hope, if it please God, to be able to go to sea again in a short
time ; but I will write to you again, sir, in a fortnight's time.

HENRY SADON, No. 19, Clayton-street, Liverpool;
was blind (amaurosis) for a number of years. He has now
been five weeks under Mr. Baxter's treatment, and has re-
ceived that benefit of sight, that he can go abont the streets
alone without any inconvenience, and there is every hope of
a perfect cure being made. _

Mrs. PRICE, Dance-street, Copperas-hill, Liverpool, 53
years of age, was blind (amanrosis) for three years, and so
weak and infirm that she could not rise from her chair with-
out •help ; but after patiently persevering in Mr. Baxter's
mild treatment for five months, she is restored to sight so as
to distinguish man from woman, and was able to walk out
last week by herself ; she keeps still improving both in health

This case, as well as some of the
above, was not owing to a decay or wasting of the optic nerve
(which does not admit of a cure), but proceeded from a com-
pression of the nerves by redundant humours, which, had
they not been drained off, would have ended in total dark-
ness, i.e. palm serena.

Mr. Baxter is successor to his Father, who practised upon
the eye for 40 years. The case now mentioned was the first
placed under the care of the preSent Mr. B. A soldier, in
Hull, who was blind through inflammations and thick films.

to sight aria' iiitede perfect in tvirO months, after b'Eting been
discharged blind from the hospitals of London, York, Leeds,

28 years. Many hundreds more have been cured, too nu-
merous for the limits of.an advertisement.

Mr. BAXTER, Oculist, from Bolton, may be consulted
daily, by letter or personally, at No. 37, Warren-street,
