The rosition of Aberdeen among the towns of Scotland
is next in importance to that of Edinburgh and Glasgow ;
and with the view of adopting the Line best calculated to
uti;te Aberdeen w'th these and other populous cities, and
to secure the most favourable communication with the.
South, Mr. Cubit!, alter a caretul personal survey, has
reported his decided approval of the Line now proposed,
and which may be described es follows :—From Aberdeen,
by Stonehaven, Drundithe, Latirencekirk,Marykirk, Dub.
ton, near Montrose. and Bridge of Dun, near Breehin,
to Froickheirn and Guthrie, points about seven mils from
Arbroath and Forfar, in the present Line of Railway to
these towns.

Mr. Cubitt has further stated, that this Line is also th
most favourable as regards the expense of construction,
and that his estimate of £900,000 is fully sufficient for
completing the uncle►taking, including the plant and every
other expense up to the opening of the Railway.
The Company will be in a situation to submit evidence
to Parliament that the traffic will yield a return of eight
per cent. to the Shareholders.
After the act is obtained, interest at the rate of four per
cent. will be allowed upon the calls from the date of pay-
ment until the Line is opened for traffic.

The Parliamenrary Plans will be completed in time for
deposit, so that application may be made to Parliament
for the act next . session

PAPIER MACHEE.—When this material was first in-
troduced to public notice, it was admired for its exact
imitation of the most elaborate carvings in wood ; but so
rapidly has it risen to perfection, and so beautifully deli-
cate yet durable are many of the articles produced in it,
that it cannot now be compared to any thing that has pre-
ceded it. A most he utiful specimen of workmanship in this
material is now exhibiting at Mr. Key's, in 80ld-street.
It is a splendid Chimney Glass Frame, of foliage sur-
mounted by a basket of f. uit--the graceful effect of which
cannot be described in the limits of a paragraph.
CIGARS.-it will he seen by an advertisement in
another column, that in addition to the extensive tobacco
manufactory recently established by Messrs. W. Percival
and Son, in Dale-street, these enterprising gentlemen
have commenced manufacturing cigars. Extensive alte-
rations have been made in the premises, so us to facilitate
in every way the drying and seasoning ; and the specimens
we have seen are quite equal to most of the foreign manu-
facture. Nor can we see any reason why they should not
he, when they are produced from exactly similar material.
The greatest chtference is in the price.
TRAIN'S LINE OF PACKETS.—A line of packets bas
just been started between this port and Boston under this
title, for which Messrs. Baring Brothers are t'te consig-
nees. The vessels selected are all first-class ships. Those
already advertised are the Dorchester, Captain Caldwell,
480 tons, the Governor Davies, Captain Neef, 700 tons,
he Pete. sLureh, Captain Frask, 810 lons, and a new ship
the Joshua Bates, The punctual sailing of these vessels
will be ereatly felt by the public. And it is somewhat
astonishiret that a line of packets should not have before
(teen estabished to Boston, a city more noted for its en-
terprise and rapid increase of late years than any other
in America.
