MANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY
COMPANY.

Late Meeting at Stafford on the Subilet of the Extension
Railway. ir
23, Bond-street, Manchester, 2d October, 183 S.
IR,—lt appears that at a M E E T I N G, over which you
presided, held in the Shire Flail, Stafford, on Thorsday
last and purporting to consist of Owners of Property and Inha-
bitants, certain resolutions were passed, amongst which arc
"That this Meeting views with surprise and regret that the
Manchester and Birmingham Railway Company intend to
prosecute their application to Parliament for an extension
of their Railway, from near Stone down the" Trent valley to
Rugby, instead of joining the Grand Junction line at Cheb-
sey.

`•That regarding such a proceeding on the part of the Com-
pany as a breach of faith towards this town, whose support
they obtained in 1836 and 1837, against the same measure,
when promoted by the South Union Company, this Meeting
feels called upon to oppose the project, as it cannot have be-
come more beneficial or proper by the mere change of the
hands promoting it."
In the former of these resolution it is assmed, that the
Manchester and Birmingham Railway Company do not in-
tend to effect the Junction authorised by Parliament under
their present Act with the. Grand Junction Railway at Cheb-
sey, an assumption which the Directors are compelled 'to
characterise as utterk,unfounded.

The latter resolution alleges that the Company in seeking
an extension of their Railway by way of the Trent valley to
Rugby, have broken faith with the town of Stafford. This
imputation the Directors declare to be in like manner un-
warranted by the facts.
_ _

It is very much to be refueled that, at a meeting profess-
ing to be called for purposes of inquiry, the discussion should
have been conducted, and the resolutions no doubt prepared;
as they certainly Were read, by the Solicitor to the Grand
Junction Company, sent there, not to advance the interests
of the town of StaffOrd, but to impart a complexion to the
proceedings suited to the particular views of those whom he
represented. And the Directors conceive that they have just
occasion of complaint, that the influence of your station as
Mayor, should have been given, even in appearanVe, to pro-
ceeaings of an expiate kind, and that, without reference to
or communication with this Company, resolutions have been
passed under your authority misrepresenting their intentions
and reflecting upon their conduct. At the proper time, which
will be before a Parliamentry Committee, the Directors will
be quite ready to meet any charge of breach of faith, by
whomsoever preferred, either as re;regards their proceedings
with the Gr.uu Junction Railway Company, or with the
town of Stafford. The former, indeed, will do well to bear in
mind that this Board distinctly imputes to them the very
charge which they make against this Company, in, first, as,
seriting to the present line of the Manchester arid Birming-
ham Railway through the Potteries.and pledging themselves
to assist it, and then, so soon as the Act was obtained and
the fear of a Trent line as they conceived removed, endea-
vouring to prevent the construction of the Railway which
they had thus pledged themselves to support, by refusing any
and all arrangement with this Company, unless " Crewe"
were their ultimate point.
With respect to the town of Stafford, it has, of course, a
claim to the improved communication with the Potteries and
Manchester, which the line of the Manchester and Birming-
ham Company holds out, and -if it obtain those advantages,
as no doubt it will, this Company will have discharged its
obligations to the ,borough, not only without aid from, but
against the wish of the Grand Junction Railway Company.
So far from joining in the lamentation of Mr. T. Frith, one
of the speakers at your late meeting, that " with regard to
the manufactures of the place, in case of the projected line
being adopted, Stone would have an advantage over Stafford,"
the Directors of this Company rejoice that the manufactures
of Stone are likely to receive the impulse which the con-
struction of the Trent Railway cannot fail to afford; and
though the circumstance of a neighbouring town being 'placed
upon a footing of equality with yourselves, may perhaps
account for (it cannot justify) the hostility of Stafford to the
'project, such a fact supplies fresh motives to the Directors
for vigorously pursuing the undertaking, and will no doubt
encourage the public to continue to support it have the
honour to be, Sir, your very obedient servant, -

MONS. LE DRAY & CO., *germ-Dentists, respect fully
inform the nobility, gentry, and inhabitants of Liverpool and
its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment perma-
nently at No. 70, SEEL-STREET, eight doors from Berry-
street. They continue to fill up the cavities of decayed teeth
with the Mineral Marinoratum, without the least pain, heat,
or pressure, it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid
state, and in a few seconds gets hard, preventing and curing
the tooth-ache, arresting all further progress of decay, and
rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The mi-
neral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful
tooth, but by completely stopping up the cavity prevents
effectually that unpleasant taint of the breath whichinvaria-
bly accompanies a decayed tooth.

Among the various disorders of the teeth and gums, there
is none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
prevalent than scurvy, and it is well known that. the loss of
teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects
individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the
'primary cause of tooth ache and decay; to those so affected
Mons. Le Dray and Co. have to inform them, that they can
effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single ap.
plication without the slightest pain.

IROFESSOR SWEDOUR'S HYGEIAN HERB
PILLS, for the effectual extirpation of every species
and symptom of the SYPHILITIC DISEASE, and the
disorders arising from improper treatment.
Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor, at
No. 42, SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
In boxes at 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. each.
Warranted not to contain COPAIBA, OUBEBS, or any

deleterious ingredient

*4l' With each Box is gweii a Treatise on Venerea.
and Syphilitic Diseases, with observations on seminal weak-
ness B:.c. &c., containing hints worth knowing by those who
are, or have been sufferers to this dreadful and devastating
aladv.

Dr. DAVIESON continues to direct his attention to those
disorders arising from the too free and indiscriminate in-
dulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numer-
ous train of nervous Affections, but also entails on its votaries
all the enervating imbecilities of oil age. In that distressing
state of debility and deficiency, whether the consequence of
baneful habits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by
which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, he
offers a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigor.
ous health.

It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the
venereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men,
who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con-
stitution. When the great Doctor Swedour became Pro-
fessor at Leyden University, he conferred an invaluable be-
nefit upon mankind by the discovery of his grand Panacea,
for the cure of this deplorable complaint. Never did a dis-
covery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after' with
avidity, and used with undeviating success in the most
minute and intricate cases of the delicate complaint, for the
cure of which they have been so long celebrated. The fame
of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy in-
troduction into almost every country. The certainty with
which they were continually administered can be attested by
many thousands. In fact, during the long continental war
they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the
soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infection
was entertained. What, medicine can be more appropriate
than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The
Hygeian Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious poison,
purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They
not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action
the different functions of the body expelling the grosser hu-
mours, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to
convince the mast sceptical of their astonishing and un-
equalled powers. They neither contain mercury norany other
mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion
of discovery—they require no restraint of diet, loss of time,
or hindrance of business, but effect a complete cure, without
the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the
slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse
to the Hygeian Herb Pills, for when taken before the disease
has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, by
moving the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplor-
able state in which many persons have been when visiting
the proprietor, flom the use of mercury, renders it impera-
tively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous
mineral when injudiciously administered.
These Pills should form a portion of all Medicine Chests,
by sea and land, and ought neverto be omitted by any person
going a long voyage or journey, their properties are such
that neither heat nor cold will injure their quality, or pre-
vent the due effects on the constitution.

Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, from Eight
in the morning until Ten et night, (on Sundays from Nina
till Two,) where he gives advice to all applicants taking any
ofhis preparations, WITHOUT A FEEL
Letters (post-paid) enclosing a remittance, answered by
