This extraordinary discovery must, before many mont. have elapsed, be. otne of general use in the establishment of every nobleman and gentleman its the kingdom. It is, indeed, remarkable that gentlemen possessing large quantities of va- luable Plate should so long have allowed the use of such destructive compounds as the ordinary I late Powders for cleaning and polishing articles rendered invaluable as H ISTO- RICAL FAMILY KECORDS of some interesting or important event. If any person wo,Ild test for himself the truth of these remarks, he has only to observe the action of quicksilver when placed in contact with pure gold or silver, it combines with the pure metals, and ultima,ely renders them as brittle as pewter. This result will explain the numerous accidents aiisiug from the slightest blow of fall, when plates of silver chased and worked at immense expense, are broken into pieces like glass; the fragments beiug considerably less valuable than the unwrought metal, until by a difficult and tedious process the silver is repurified. But this is not the only evil arising from tli,- amalgamation of qu:cksilver with the pure metal. Persons ignoraut of the laws of chemistry have encouraged the use of corrosive Plate Powders, for giving a brilliant polish to silver whereas the silver is not at all polished, the surface being only covered with a coating of quicksilver, which, from its great affinilf for oxygen, will remain brilliant on ly for an hour; and, consequently, before the article po- lished can be again used, will require another rubbing or fifing away of this corroded surface, to be replaced by a fresh layer of quicksilver, until layer alter layer of the pure metal is taken away, gradually reducing it to a thin and paltry plate, filtilJgit only for the crucible of the silversmith. In large establishments, where plate in considerable quan- tity is cleaned, it is customary for persons to purchase the old rags, or wash-leather, which have been used for cleaning plate, iu order to sell them to silver or gold refiners, who de- rive no inconsiderable profit from the pure metal contained in these ditty leathers or rags. Plate may be Cleaned daily with this Compound, and at the expiration of twelve months will be found not to have lost a grain of its original weight.' It is of little consequence whether the article to be cleaned has been laid by for UAys or years, whether it be only dis- coloured, or tarnished as black as a hat, immediately on the applicaliull of the SILVtj-t; A LV-ANI J CltKlM, the disco louration is removed, and then, with a soft and clean wash- leather, a most brilliant and virgin-white polish may be produced. In chased silver the deepest nook and corner where dirt and corrosion are so difficult to remove, become phkte b l'ie Ievel surface, by simply using a soft The manner of using it is so simple that a child may, in a few seconds, produce a polish, which, in the ordinary way, houis n°l fcivew by *n plate cleaner iu as many 9 Sold m Half-Pint, Pint, and Quart Bottles, at Is. 6d., JONES and Co., LIGHT,HOUSE, 201, STRAND, LONDON. flottceg. irnriUun.

Vl- ?* cnn8 public would be benefitted by the p!A "binary produced by taking ARK s LIFE I ILLS, I beg most respectfully to forward yon ne particulars of my ca«e, so that the proprietors rnay be made aware of it. I was first allacked in ltt37, with a Ner- vous AfMtion and Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, which caused, at times, very great constipation of the bowels, and excruci- atiug pain, for which I went under the care of several medical gentlemen, and one physician in Birmingham, without deriv- ing any great benefits; in 1839—40 I was very much worse, and the attacks came on more frequently, and continued up to March, ld43, when accidentally hearing of PARK S LIFE 1 ILLs, I was induced to try '.hem, and with very great success so much so that it has all left me, and I am able to follow my employment as I used to d.. prior to my attack, & beg further to state that I feel atronger than ever I did in my life before, and my looks bespeak it. I always keep a box of the pills by me, and use them when nature requires an aperient medicine. Wishing the proprietors every success with their valuable pre- scription. r 1 am, Sir, yours obediently —— JOHN THOMAS. T „CURB 0F CONSUMPTIVE ASTHMA. I, ALEXANDER DOUGLAS, do hereby declare the good I have received from taking PARR'S LIFE PILLs, In thé year 1610 I was afflicted with a mo-t distressing Asthma, Cough, and shortuess of Breath, which reduced me to death's door; notwithstanding my spending near £200 in consulting •.he most eminent medical men in London aud Edinburgh, my disease cootiuued, unabated, and I was. as a last resource, advised to try my native air of Dundee, which I did, and at the same time was recommended by a friend to take PARR'S LIFE PILLS. I commenced with them in the spring of 1843 experiencing relief, I persevered, and am now in ray 63rd year. perfectly cured, and in better health than I have been for many years. (laving jusl arrived in London, I hasten to make my wonderful cure known to the Proprietors, and to recom- mend something to the afflicted wor-hy of a fair trial and no favour. I have recommended them to many of my friends, and they have all foand relief. July 16, lttti. ALEXANDER DOUGLAS. Farmer. Witness to the above, ALEXANDER CUTHBERT, Stolswell-road, Dundee. To Mr. J.

MAGNITUDE OF RAILWAY SPECULATIONS. On a moderate estimate, the railways already in existence and to be executea may oe taken to COlt. £ laO,UUU,UUO The gross profit on that capital, at 8 per cent., would be 12,000,000 From which a deduction of 35 per cent. for expenses (the lowest expenditure of any large company) would amount to 4,200,000 Leaving the net profit of ~T7.800.000-orn«» quite 51 per cent. upon the capital. n In other words, to afford the shareholder in all oar com- pleted and projected railways a return of rather less than 5i per cent, upou their outlay the public must annually expend £ 12,000,000 in railway travelling alone. I he word mitHoa" comes glibly from the tongue, but conveys no tangible linage to the mind. An effort is reqlured to realize to the imagination the magnitude of the *u n which must be annually spent on railway travelling to yield our speculators a tnoaerate profit on their capital. Let any one attempt distinctly and articulately to couut aloud from one to a million: he will fiuJ it hard work to enunciate on the average one tbousano numbers iu the hour, and would con. sequently require a hundred days for teu hours a day to count thv lui lioti. the mechanical operation of telling over a million of sovereigns piece by piece would occupy a full I month at the rate ot 3,600 an hour for ten hours a day. The joint earnings of 1,830 agricultural labouiers with their 7s. a week for thirty years each, not a working day left out, [ would be less tiian a million of pouuds sietling. The joint- earnings of 640 mechanics at 20s. a-week, toiling each as unintermittingly during the same period, would not amount to a million of pounds sterling. The pay of 9J British general officers at £ 1 a-day, would not in tuirty years amount to a million of pounds sterling. So much of toil, and danger, and exposure to the elements—so much of patient, persever- ing, and more or less sxilful industry—so much of valour and accomplishment, and high spirit, as represented by woney-may be bought for a million of pounds sterling, And our railway-projectors and speculators calculate upon diawing twelve of these millions annually from the pockets of the public. In other words, tney expect that twelve mdiions of peopte-half the population of the Three Kingdoms, men, women, and <ht(dren—(iM 1 id per mile; will each travel 160 miles by railway every year, and pay them 201. a head. Or they expect that one million of people will travel 1,920 miies each ill the course of the year, and pay them £ 12 a h ad. Or they expect that one hundred and twenty thousaud people will each travel 16,000 miles by railway every year, and pay them JE100 per head. Be it remembered, too, that railway- travelling constitutes but a fraction of the whole annml levelling of the nation. Our railwavs, existent and in pro- jection, embrace not one-half of the surface aud population of Great Britain i and even in the railway districts there is active competition from steaoi-boats, omnibuses cabs vans spring-carts, &c.&c. The steam-boats of the Thame's and' the Clyde carry more passengers than the Greeuwicn, Black- wall, and Glasgow and Greenock Railways. In the groat towns, not ouly the wealthier classes as a badge of station and tor amenity, but tradesmen for professional purposes, keep vehtctea, which wheu travelling ou business or for plea- sure they from sheer economy generally employ in preference to other modes ot conveyauce. In the rural districts, land- owners and farmers do the same. Again, the price of a rail- way-ticket is only part of the outlay of tne railway-travellei on conveyances. In most cases it implies the additional expense of short-stage, cab, or 'bus, to convey him to and from the railway, or from one railway to another. Our sanguine projectors and speculators pay little heed to these considerations though the brokers who are agents in the transfer ot shares often ask each other in wonderment where all the travellers are to come from. Put the question to any daobler in railway stock, aud he replies with an Uh with the increase of locomotive facilities travelling wil increase indefinitely." It may be so: hitherto the theory has held good yet there must be some natural limit to the activiu of the principle. Men do not navel for travelling's sake, but on business or for pleasure-to earn money, or to spend it and what possible facility will set men in motion where the.e motives are wanting 1 The enormous amount of aqope) invested in railways would seem to imply that some classes 0 Englishmen are expected to live on railways, as some classes I of Chinese live on their canals. To render these under- takings remunerative, a numerous portion of society wout. need,—like the tabled birds of paradise, to keep always on the wing—to spend their lives darting from towu to town witl> thc velocity of swallows in a summer evening. The boldness and extent of these aggregate uudertaki.igs conveys a mag- nificent idea of the resources and enterprise of Britain j ou their very magnitude lies like a load oo ihe imagination, while the incessant restlessness and s»ift movements they prcsup. pose in such a numerous class of the community make the head giddy only to think of.—Spectator.

THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BIBMJNG- |HtM._RA™y-The coroner's jury, which sat on the late Mr. Dean, returned a verdict on Thursday week, to the following effect That Charles Dean died from an »r«inf !h t caused by an accidental collision of Camden Tn Lo,,d°nuaad Birmingham Railway, near to fhfl on enS*ue No. 91, belonging to of that railway» moved to the death iease. aud tliat the value is £ 1,000, and that they make a deodand of the said engine to its extent of *-i»yoo. In delivering this verdict the jury expressed their opinion, that the laws and regulations of the Lon- don and Birmingham Railway Company for the guidance of servants have been carried out very inefficiently for some time past; and, further, the jury considered that the area of the Camden Town station, and that the system of rails there laid down, are too much cramped and limi- ted consistently with the public safety." GREAT WMTBRN RuLWAY.-The report of the Di- rectors of this Company presented at the meeting at Bristol, on Thursday week, met with a most favourable reception, they having been so successful in the l'arlia- tary campaign, as to carry all the measures promoted by them with the exception of the Cornwall. which the chair- man described might be considered as only postponed, a conclusion to winch he came from the apparent feeling of the Lords' Committee. On the recent struggles between this Company and the London and Birmingham, the chair- man, very wisely, now that the contest is over, touched very lightly. on the subject of the guagea all was silent as the grave. Ine Directors propose that next year powers shall be sought to push the Oxford and Worcester urn on to Forth Dyallaen. The advantages of small fares was shown by a reterence to the traffic on the Ascot Cap, in 1844 and 1845f the outnber of passengers having been in the former year, at 9s., about 6,000, and in the latter at 5s. Sd., 8,000, the receipts being in favour of the low rf' total receipts of the half-year are £ 433,296, and the expenditure £ 158,367, leaviog a balance of £ 274,929, out of which the directors recommend a divi- dend of 4 per cent. for the half-year, leaving a balance in hand of L 1,696 All was in the utmost harmony, and the report was adopted unanimously, the dividend declared without a dissentient, and a sum of X2,323,000 agreed to be capitalised iu 93,000 quitrter shares, to he rateably distributed among the present Proprietors to raise the sums necessary for carrying out the schemes for which acts have been obtained. Thanks were voted to the directors and then came the crowning vote of the day, gmnethiu r'owre solid than an empty vote of thanks, to the Secretary Mr. Saunders. At t^ F^ru«ry meeting the directors were instructed to •consider the best tueaus of presenting a tes- timonial o a gentleman, and to-day they proposed thatSW ol the reserve fifth shares should be "TSaule and r P 7?
