Davies, and Dr. Holland—by many Princes, Noble-, and
Families of distinction, by most of the eminent Physicians
and Medical Men in London, who have been for several
years, and now are, in the daily habit of prescribing and
recommending it as the best and safest domestic aperient
for females and children—the aged and delicate—the
nervous—the bilious—the habitually costive, and those
suffering from piles, worms, sickness, or bead ache, and
as being particularly adapted for ladies during pregnancy,
and children during dentition.
Impelled by a sense of duty, confident of conferring a
great national benefit, the proprietor p orudly submits it
to the patronage of a discerning ,public. assured that a

CAUTION—The great celebrity this medicine has attain-
ed, having induced many druggists in Scotland and Eng-
land to put up for sale, base and worthless imitation, to
the serious injury of the original Preparation., Purchasers
are therefore requested to ask for treeman's Sweet Es-
sence of Senna, each genuine bottle of which is signed

TESTIMONIAL.
48, Stamford-street, London, August 2, 1844.
Sir,—l have much pleasure in hearing testimony to
your unique and elegant preparation of Senna, which
contains in a highly concentrated form, the active princi-
ple of that Valuable Domestic Apepent. I have taken it
out with me twice to India, and having found it to preserve
the active principle of Senna quite free from fermentation,
1 consider it admirably adapted for persons travelling
abroad: and am quite sure, that no person who knew its
value, would ever take a voyage without a supply of your
Sweet Essence of Senna.
I remain, Sir, yours respectfully,
R. MAPLETON, Surgeon.
To Mr. J. Freeman, Blackfriara-road, London.

THE intention of making a Railway from Huddersfield
to join the Sheffield and Manchester Railway near to
Peniston, and thereby to open a direct Railway commu-
nication to Sheffield, and thence to the South and East of
England, has been long entertained; and various inspec-
tions and surveys of the intermediate country have satis-
fied the promoters that a good working locomotive line
may be obtained, at an aver..ge cost per mile not exceed-
ing that of the Sheffield and Manchester and other similar
Railways.
By the proposed Sheffield and Lincoln Line, which will
join the Sheffield and Manchester Railway at Sheffield, a
direct communication with the East and Midland Coun-
ties, and with London, will be afforded.
The distance between the termini of this Railway is
about 13 miles, and the line is intended to commence at
the Station of the Huddersfield and Manchester and
Huddersfield and Dewsbury Lines, at Huddersfield,
whereby one Station will be made to serve the three lines,
a higher level will be obtained to start from than the place
previously selected, and other important advantages de-
rived.

The junction of the three lines at Huddersfield, and
the commencement of this Railway upon a level conside-
rably higher than was originally contemplated, will neces-
sarily involve considerable alterations in the line, and a
revision of it throughout, from which many improvements
are anticipated ; and the Engineers will immediately re-
inspect the country, make their additional surveys, and
definitively lay down the line, to enable an application
for an Act to be made to Parliament in the ensuing Ses-
sion. In doing this, no pains will be spared to procure
the best line the country affords, as well as to accommo-
date Honley, New Mill, Holmfirth, and the other manu-
facturing and populous places in its proximity.
It will here be sufficient, it is conceived, without parti-
cularising the savings in distance which this Railway will
effect between the several towns and places North of
Huddersfield, and those South and East of Sheffield, to
sta'e merely the fact, that the distance twin Huddersfield
to Sheffield by the present route of the Manchester and
Leeds, and North Midland Railways, is 464 miles, and
that by the proposed Railway and the Sheffield and Man-
clie.ter it will only be about 25 or 26 miles.
The consumption of Coal at Huddersfield. and the ma-
nufacturing district to which this R,ilwav will be made,
is well known to be immense; and it is no unimportant
feature in the undertaking, that the far-famed Coal-field
of Silkstone, and also the Barnsley, Thurgoland, and
sevetal other beds of Coal, will be made accessible,
whereby a saving of no less ilia' 2s. 6d. a ton will, it is
calculated, be effected to the consumer; and it is scarcely
too much to ant.cipate that the line will become almost a
second Stockton and Darlington Railway.
The extensive passenger and goods traffic from Brad-
ford, Halifax, Dewsbury, Huddersfield, Honley, Holm-
firth, New Mill, and other populous manufacturing places
in the vicinity, which may fairly be expected to come
upon the Railway, as well as the large coal traffic alluded
to, justifies the promoters in assuming that the under-
taking must prove not only a great public convenience,
but a profitable investment to the Shareholders.
It is proposed to apply for powers in the Act of Incor-
poration to lease or sell the Railway to the Sheffield and
Manchester Railway Company, in case the Proprietors
should deem it advisable, as well as a power to pay inte-
rest to the Shareholders upon calls paid up, after a rate
not exceeding 4 per cent, per annum, until the completion
and opening of the entire line.
A deposit of £3 per Share is to be paid on the allotment
of the Shares, and Subscribers will be required to sign the
Parliamentary Deed and Subscribers' Agreement at such
time and place as the Committee shall appoint.
A considerable number of Shares having already been
applied for, an early allotment of the Shares is intended
to be made ; and no application for Shares will be received
after Monday, the seventh day of October instant.
Applications for Shares, in the form hereunder given,
are requested to be made to the Solicitors, or to the fol.
lowing Sharebrokers :
Messrs. POTTER and SMITH. Leeds ; Mr. RICHARD
BOWLBY, Leeds ; Messrs. MOORE and GATLIFFE,

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL.

UNITED STATES AND CANADA.

- - - - -
By the Whernia and Great Western, whose arrival we
notice elsewhere, we have received intelligence from
America a fortnight later than that previously received.
Toe intelligence is unimportant.
It appeals, from a Mennonite document, entitled the
" Epistle of the Twelve," that the succession to Joe
Smith is given to a hand of twelve men, who are called
Apostles, and are appointed to preach to the Mormon peo-
ple throughout Europe and America.
Our Mo,treal advices, to the 1241 instant, inform us,
that, instead of an accredited list of the new Ministry
said to have been firmed, the Provincial Parliament has,
been farther prorogued until the 22,1 October. The com-
mercial intelligence from the city will be found below.
There is little from either Mexico or Texas. In the
former republic, the preparations for invading Texas
were proceeding but slowly. The Senate, however, had
approved of the project of a law for rais'ng the necessary
4,000,000 dollars.
The Jamaica Despolch states, that letters from St.
Juan de Nicaragua report that tact city had been almost
totally destroyed by an earthquake. The blockade still
continued. _ _ .

The Kentucky State Prison wag almost destroyed by
fire on the 30th of August. Every building within the
the walls, except the portion containing the cells of the
prison-house, was destroyed. Foitu❑ately all the con-
viets—lGO in number—were prevented effecting their
escape.
On the 11th ult. the works of the mines at Sydney,
Cape Br ton, were burnt to the grout d. The loss is
estimat,d at X 23,600.

(From the Annual Circular of Mr. IF. P. Wright, of New York,

dated I2th iatimo.)

The total crop of the United States, on the Ist instant, amounted
to 2,0:30,109 bales, against last year, 2,378,175; being a de_rease of
348,4(t3 bales.

The total exports from the 'United States to foreign ports
amounted, this year, up to the 21st August, to 1,629,490 bales,
against last year, 1.00,137 ; being a decrease of 320,647 bales.
That to England is 267,213 bales.
The quantity consumed by manufacturers in the United States
had progressively increased from 103,183 bales, in 1827, to 310,744
bales, in 1541-4.
The total stock of cotton remaining on Land in the United States,
on the Ist September, amounted to 152,772 bales, against last year,
U4,4tai.
The experience of the past year has proved bow useless it is to
pretend. to form an accurate estimate of the ex.tent of the crop at too
early a season • but it m.y be remarked, that the -accounts up to
this time from the south, as to the prospects of the crop, have been
favourable. and estimates as high as two million and a half bales
are indulged in. There is no question as to the fact that the crops
_look promising, and that it is, at least, three weeks earlier than
last year, which is proved by the receipts into them ts of this year's
growth being considerably greater than last year: still, the crop is
yet subject to many vicissitudes, and estimates made prior to De-
cember cannot be relied upon. Xnder ordinary circumstances,
however, an average crop will be secured and prices rule low, which
will enable consumption, in every part of the world, to be materially
increased, as, no d übt it will, particularly in Great Britain, where -
so many new channels have recently been opened for the exporta-
tion of her goods, and while her manufactures continue to prosper,
as at present.
_ _

In confirmation of this view of the prospects for the coming year,
I extract the foltowing from the annual statement of the New
Orleans Price Current, of the 2nd September, received last evening:
"Judging from the information now in our possession, there is
every- pry spect cf good craps being produced in nearly all the sec-
tions of the c ;untry tributary to this port, except the rich bottom
lands on and adjacent to the MisSissippi, where irreparable damage,
and to an enormous extent, has been done to the crops, in conse-
quence of the almost unprea edented merilow of the rivers. Should
the crap turn out as well as is gi neralty anticipated at this time,
there eau be but little doubt tut prices will be governed accordingly,
and will rule low at home and abroad. An experience, however, of
many years, has taught us, that it is not only idle, but absolutely
wrong, to form estimates of the crop at so early a period as this, as
everything depends upon the character of the weather fur some
months to come. A September storm, followed by long continued
rains, or, what would Le equally as bad, or, indeed, worse, a severe
frost, would effectually blight the prospects of the planter and
change the whole aspect of affairs, whether relating to supply or to
prices, whereas a favourable and extended picking season would
render a good, yield eel-Ain.
P.S —EVENING.—Since the date of my last circular, made tip
on 31st August, per steamer Acadia, we have bad two arrivals from
England : the Great 1`; astern, on the evening of the 31st ult , with
Liverpool dates to 17th August, and the Hibernia, with three days
later, on the 2d inst., showing a decline in that market of kd. per
lb. Immediately alter receipt of these accennte, a brisk demand
sprung up. and, being freely met on the part of holders, a large bu •
siness has been transacted for England and the Continent of
Europe, generally at a decline of half a cent.
'1 he transactions have been as follow :—Total sales since 31st
August, 18,(-00 bales; import,4,loo; export, 10,200.
Some sma'l portion of the sales have been made up on specula-
tion manufacturers have bought only a limited quantity.. For the
last two or three days the operations have been more limited, owing
to the difficulty of obt, ining freight and the advance demanded by
ship-owners. There ia now in course of shipment to Great Uritain
12,000 bales, and to the Continent of Europe 8,030. The market
closed, to-day, with less disposition on the part ofholders to sell,
and altogether with a firmer aspect.
ExcnA NOES continue without variation, with a moderate de-
mand, the closing prices to-day being, on London, 100 k to 110 ;
Paris, 5.221 to 5 21t.
FR.Etotris have been active and in demand to Liverpool, and an
advance has Miceli place. The packets, up to the 26th inst inclu-
sive, tcgether with three transient vessels on the berth, are engaged
full, and 36d is now demanded.
