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.

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.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS: This work, a TENTH edition of which is now presented to the pubiic-ten thouiand copies have been exhausted tines its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of geneial principles as also by the insertion of several new and highly in- tereiting cases. The boos, as has been already stated, in the result ot very ample and daily increasing experience is a class of diseases, which for some unaccount <ble reason. have been euher altogether over lo ked, or treated almost with in- difference by the ordinary medical practitioner. The numberless instances daily incurring, whereiu affections -of the lungs, putting ou all the outer appearances of consumption which, However, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful habits, fully proves that the principle of the division of labor is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We fed no hesitation in saying, that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergymau."—Sun, Evening paper. The rage for books in all departments of science, literature, and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the present time.—1 he unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of inuifferent, useless, and even bad boolts.- W tlh the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced 10 peruse Messrs. Curtis's work. entitled M.1 N BOO D. The scieulilic views taken by the authors of the source aud origiu of m .uy of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully estaolish their claim to the character of experience and judicious surgeons.—.4uu the result of our careful perusal of the work has been, to impress its with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care o: youth are not a little indebted to them for furnishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful malaaies to which flesh is heir. Old England. Tbe multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them, of a very questionable tendency, made us extremely reluctant io take up another. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which prove so fatal to youtb, and which are set down by the every day observer as the result of common causes, such as exposure to cold, sadden vicissitudes of temperature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extremely satisfactory. And we do not think we go too far in sayiug, that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. This is a work that we fear there exists too mn h need of to cause us to hesitate to recommend it f .r £ <-ueral perusal Every branch of those frightful maladies, wuettier the result of immoral habits or secret vices, is h.r s.coiut-tiy treated, and, divested of all medical technic-inu, pia-n and easy directions are given for the best mode to be pursued in ail cases, however complicated or appareuily hopeless. To the married, as well as the unmarried, tni> little work alike affords consolation and cure in peculiar cases, and we are doing service to society in recommending it to general notice."— Essex and Herts Mercury.

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.
