MINING. Four men were killed itt Mr. Jessop's coal pit at Codnor Park, on Thursday, by the breaking of the rope, in consequence of which they ware precipitated to the bottom. It is rumoured, but we trust without foundation, that twenty men lost their lives on Thursday afternoon, in Mr. Munday'¡ pits at Shipley, from the Ignilion of foul air. It is added that several asses were also deslroycd.-Sheffield If-is.

RAILWAYS. RAILROADS IN TOWNS.—A bill is now in progress through the House of Commons, having for its object to extend the line of a railway from Blackwall into the heart of the city of Lon- don, the terminus of which, by the Act granted for its construc- tion in 1836, was specially interdicted from approaching the city boundaiy nearer than 200 feet. The introduction of such a nuisance into populous cities and towns would be attended wilh irreparable injury to the interests and comfort of a large portion of the inhabitants; and unless a vigorous resistance is offered to this particular nuisance, it would establish a most dangerous precedent, and, it is feared, afford encouragement to railway adventurers to make similar attempts to carry their lines, by extension, into other cities and populous neighbourhoods." \Ve understand that a strong opposition will be offered to the hill, a committee having been formed in London to watch its progress, and to use every effort to prevent such a measure from oecorning law. The constituencies of many large towns have ilready expressed their opinions to their members, urging them to give their aid in supporting the rule hitherto observed by the Legislature, to confine the terminus and depots of railways to the suburbs of towns. This is a subject of considerable im- poilanre, and one in which the inhabitants of this, as well as other large large towns, are deeply interested.- Plyptioi,th pnl)er. EFFECTS OF RAILWAY COMMUNICATION.—Formerly, Scottish manufactures for the London market were conveyed from Glas- gow, Paisley, &e., by canal to Edinburgh and Leith, whence they were carried by the steamers to the Thames. Since, how- ever, goods have been conveyed on the railway from Liverpool to London, considerable quantities of the manufactuies in ques- tion have been carried from Paisley, Glasgow, &c., by steam to Liverpool, and thence by the railway to London. Thus, goods which left Glasgow on Friday, and reached the Clarence Dock wall on the following day, will be in London this morning. rhe conveyance is, we believe, not only quicker than the con- veyance IJ;å Leith, but cheaper.—Liverpool Alhi»n. ADVANTAGES OF RAIT.KOAD TRAVELLING.—So much for the mode of travelling but the facilities which it will afford to pent-up citizens to emigrate from their confined atmosphere, and lismal scenery of brick and mortar, into the fresh free air and 'leautiful expanse of the country, are still more important bene- fits conferred by railroads. Southampton and the Isle of Wight, will be as near at hand as Richmond was in days of yore the halmy breezes and calm days of Devonshire will be distant but a few hours' trip. Who, then, would deny himself the pleasure of beholding with his own eyes the beauties of his country or pine in disease for want of healthful recreation ? To a bene volent mind, the pleasure derived from travelling by railroad nust be enhanced by the consideration that the rapid, agreeable notion is produced by the action, not of sentient bone and muscle, but that of inorganic, insensible agents. StNGULAR INSTANCE OF MANUFACTURING DrspATcir, AS CONNECTED WITU RAILWAY TUANSIT.—On Thursday afternoon last, Mr. W. Taylor, cotton-manufacturer, of this town, pur- chased a considerable quantity of cotlon from Messrs. Bateson ind Sons, Liverpool, which was sent by Messrs. 1 attersall and Clare, Mr. Taylor's brokers, to Mr. J. Hargreaves, jun., to be conveyed to Preston by the North Union Railway and al- 1hough it did not actually leave Liverpool till after three o'clock yesterday (Friday) morning, it was delivered atTulketh factory it eight minutes past nine o'clock, and before cleven 0 clock, part of it had passed through the several operations of mixing, (cutcliing, sapping, carding, drawing, slubbing, roving, and spinning. At half-past sleven o'clock, a portion of it was made into cloth by the power-loom, and at twenty minutes past foui )\ tock in the afternoon, three and a half yards of good, peifeci thirting cloth were forwarded by Mr. Taylor to Messrs. Tat. tersall and Clare, by the train leaving Preston at twenty mi- nutes past four, and would in course, be delivered to them be fore seven o'clock the same evening. We have no doubt but that this morning (Saturday) hundreds of gentlemen on 'Change will have an opportunity of seeing cloth, the weft of which was made from cotton that had been conveyed from Li- verpool to Preston and back (eighty miles, including the dis- tance from the delivering station to the factory), and had passed through the various operations necessary for its production, in the short space of fifteen hours, after deducting one hour for linner, during which time the manufactory was not at work; 1nd this was done without any very extraordinary hurry or ex- ;riion. From the foregoing, it appears that the time occupied in the whole of the operations, from first opening the cotton hags, to the production of several yards of the fabric, was some- what under six working hours. How forcibly does this fact remind us that we live in the age of enlerprise-in the very milleniuin of railway velocity Last evening a dress was worn by the weaver of the cloth, produced from the same raw ma- terial sent from Liverpool yesterday morning.—Preston Chroni- cle of Satuiday.

SCIENTIFIC. SALICIN E.-The memoir of M. Pirria on Salicine, and the products derived from it, is said, by our continental neighbours, to be a remarkable work the principal points of it are, 1st, the conversion of salicine by contact with acids into sugar and resin 2nd, the conversion of silicine, by the action of sulphuric acid and bichromate of potass, into a volatile oil, which is a new circumstance in the mode of producing essential oils 3rd, the exact isomeria of this oil with benzoic acid, under lhe triple analogy of coinpositiony density of vapour, and atomic weight 4th, the demonstration that this oil must be looked upon as a hydruret of a ternary base, analogous to benzoile, the formula of which becomes CJ8 H,0 04 H3 5th, the close study of this hydiuret, and that of the bodies derived from it, all of which are remarkable for their stability, their easy production, their beauti- ful crystallization, and the exactness of the phenomena to which they give rise.—Atheneum. CORNISH HIGH-PRESSURE EXTANSIVK CONDENSING STEAM- ENGINE, AT CARLISLE.—[Abridged from the Carlisle Journal.J -On Saturday the 25th May, the engine, manufactured in Cornwall by Messrs. Harvey, & Co., of Hayle, from the plans and specifications of Mr. William West, for the Carlisle Canal Company, commenced working. The Directors having assem. bled, the engine was started. This engine is set up for the pur. pose of supplying the Carlisle canal with water from the rivei Eden. The height the water has to be lifted is about 56 feet; the steam cylinder is 60 inches diameter; that of the pump 45 length of stroke 10 feet. In less than three minutes, the water had been lifted to the pump head, whence it was poured forth in a continuous and rapid stream, at the rate of 6,824 gallons a minute consequently, working at twelve strokes, the quantity delivered in twelve hours into the canal is 4,769,280 imperial gallons of water, equal to 763, 200 cubic feet, and at imperial gallons of water, equal to 763, 200 cubic feet, and at an expense of fuel" under jire shillings." The canal from Carlisle to the Sol way Frith is in length about t-.velve miles. In the course of a month, when Harvey and West's New Patent Valves shall be substituted for those now in use, the work will be done better, and with less friction, and the heavy blow and consequent vibration common to all pumping engines will be overcome. Mr. West's engine, at the Fowey Consols Mine, in Cornwall, on a trial lifted 125 millions of pounds weight, one foot high, with 94lb, of coal, and averaged up- wards of 90 millions during 12 consecutive months. At the Portsmouth and Farlington Waterworks the consumption has been reduced (doing more work) full 75 per cent. Air. Wick- stccd, the engineer of the East London Water Works, computes their saving at 70 per cent.: viz., £ 1,297. 16s., instead of £ 4,328.2».

Deficiency, and all Diseases of the Urinary Pas- sages, without loss of time, confinement, or hindrance from business they have effected the most surprising cures, not only in recent and severe cases, but when salivation and all other means have failed; and when an early application is made to these Pills for the cure of the Venereal Disease, fre- quently contracted in a moment of inebriety, the eradication is generally completed in a few days and in the more advanced and inveterate stages of venereal infection, characterised by a variety of painful and distressing symptoms, a perseverence in the Specific Pills, and to the directions fully pointed out in the Treatise, willensure to the patients a permanent and radical cure. It is a. melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease, woing to the unskilfulncss of illiterate men, who by the use of that deadly poison, mercury, ruin the constitution, cause ulceration, blotclics on the head, face, and body, dimness of sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate gleets, nodes on the shin bones, ulcerated sore throats, diseased nose, with noc- turnal pains in the head and limbs, till at length a general debility and decay ol the constitution ensues, and a melancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings. In those dreadful cases o I sexual debility, brought on by an early. and indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, frequently acquired without a knowledge of the dreadful consequences resulting tneretiom, and which not only entail on its votaries :Ill the enervating imbecilities of old age, and occasion the necessity ot renouncing the felicities of nairiage to those who have given way to this delusive and destructive habit, but weaken and destroy all the bodily senses, producing mclan- clioly. deficiency, and a numerous train of nervous affections. In these distressing cases, whether the consequences of such baneful napus, or any oihe cause, a certain and speedy cure may be relied on by taking Perry's Purifving Specific Pills, and by a s L1C. ^cntion to the directions pointed out in the Treatise, which fully explain the dreadful;' esults arising from t|lCse melancholy cases. ^ifSSAS S° ^ul6Cons, may be consulted as usual, 7.t No..
