RAILWAYS. BRISTOL AND EXETKR RAILWAY.—Having been informed that the directors had resolved to lay, in the first instance, a "ngle line of rails to Bridgwater, we made enquiry at the office, and were on good authority assured of the fact. This is the second great popular measure adopted by the board, at the sug- gestion of the proprietary. The saving in present outlay, by IllS plan, cannot be less than £3000. per mile, or nearly .1 £ 100,000. upon the distance between Bristol and Bridgwater; a sum that ought to pay three-fourths of the cost of asingle line from Bridgwater to Tatmton.-Bristol Mirror.—[It is intended to fix the single line in the centre of the road, so that whenever the other line may be added, the space, in the first instance be- '*veen 'be wheels, will be converted into space between the two 'ines. The sums of money authorised to be raised by acts of parlia- ment, whereby railroad companies have been incorporated, be- tween Jan. 1, 1826, and Jan. 1, 1839, a period of 13 years, amount to £ 57,789,444., of which £ 41,610,814. were to be ca- pital in joint stock, and £ 16,177,630. were to be raised in loans.

Pryse Prjse, Esq., M.P., has given five guineas for the pur- chasing Bibles and Testaments for the use of the Sunday Schools in connection with the Established Church in the im- mediate neighbourhood of Gogerddan. A FRENCH DURL.-Hilaire and Ernest were school-fellows and friends; both entered the French Military service-the former became an officer of Infantry, the latter a Lancer. On on one occasion, having obtained two months' leave of absence from their respective corps, Hilaire invited Ernest to his mo. ther's country house, at the foot of the Pyrenees, for the pur. pose of shooting and otherwise agreeably spending their short respite from garrison duty.-Hilaire bad a sister, young and beautiful, and the brother was not long in perceiving that an •<ttachment was forming between her and the gay Lancer; fear- ing that this attachment, if allowed to have its own free course, would not prove advantageous to his sister, Hilaire proposed to Ernest, some time before the expiration of their leave, to spend the remainder of it in Paris. Ernest rcphed-" I know why you make this proposal: you have discovered that Louise and myself are attached to each other, and you want to separate us. My views are honourable; I hope one day to make her my vife. Your family is Republican, mine is of the old Noblesse but I hope to be able to induce my friends to agree to the tmion."—Hilaire felt assured that Ernest's intentions were cor- rect, and after a time the friends returned to their regiments.— Hardly had Hilaire rejoined his corps than his mother wrote to inform him that Louise was enceinte by Ernest. Hilaire flew 10 him, and upbraided, at the same time urging him to save the honour of his family by immediately marrying Louise. Ernest protested that it was his intention to do so; that be had been ..rging his friends to consent to his marriage into a Republican family as yet he was unable to obtain their consent. That an .Iged relative whose heir he was, had appsrently not long to 'ive he could not survive three years but, whether he did so or not, at the end of that time he solemnly promised to fulfil his pledge to Louise. Hilaire could get no better terms, and, for antient friendship sake, he agreed to wait for three years without pressing the matter.-Ernest wrote occasionally to Louise, and, at the end of the three years, the mother and daughter left their peaceful retreat and journeyed to the north of France to the town where Ernest was stationed. Louise, wishing to give him a surprise, wrote anonymously from the hotel that a lady wished to see him. He went immediately. Louise rose to throw herself into his arms he shrunk back.- Louise fell senseleis on the floor, and the heartless libertine re- treated to his quarters. The hapless Louise recovering herself, and finding that'she was deseited, rushed in despair from the house, and after wandering about, strayed into the churchyard and flung herself exhausted on a grave she lay there till morn- ing. At daylight, the Sacristan arrived at the field of his me- lancholy labours, and perceiving Louise, he raised her and humanely seot her home in a conveyance-for she was half dead with cold.-Hilaire, steady and attentive to his duties, now held an offce in a Military Bureau in Paris. His mother wrote to inform him what had just happened. He posted in- stantly to where she was then hastened to Ernest to seek an explanation of his conduct. Ernest said that lie could not marry Louise-that his views were changed—that it was true he had promised to marry Louise but now he could not. If it is for want of means," said Hilaire" I offer to give up the salary of the office I now hold to support you in comfort^ and respectability. Louise, too, has some money." No, an. swered Ernest; with all that, I cannot marry your sister. Hilaire went to the Commandant and asked his advice. He informed Hilaire that Ernest had, under promise of marriage to his wife s daughter (by a former marriage), seduced her also, and that he was utterly at a less what to advise in this disgrace- ful case but recommended Hilaire to speak to the second in command, an Ancien. The old soldier said, I know Ernest to be such a libertine, that nothing can be done with one so unprincipled, in the way of persuading him to fulfil his promise of marriage the only good thing I know of him is, that he is not deficient in courage."—Hilaire returned to Ernest, again implored him to do justice to his sister, and seeing he could make no impression on him, said, One or other of us must now die." Well, replied Ernest, "since it must be so, I have no objection to fight you, and I would sooner die than marry your sister." The preliminaries of a duel were then arranged. Hilaire and Ernest proceeded to the ground, at- tended each by three or four seconds-as is the custom in France. Hilaire was a master of the sword, and Ernest equally dexterous with pistols. Lots were cast for the choice of wea- pons, and fortune favoured Ernest, and also as to the first fire. rhe combatants were placed at the distance 22 paces a crowd of spectators had led Ernest raised his pistol;—the spectators, knowing his skill, held their breath, thinking the fate of Hilaire was sealed the ball, though fired with deadly aim, whistled harmless past the head of Hilaire. The latter then threw down his pistol, and approaching Ernest, besought him for the last time to save the honour of his family. Hilaire's mother was on the ground in a carriage, and seeing the pro- ceedings of her son, she ran towards him and cried, If your heart fails you, here is you brother 14 years of age, who will take your place, and if he falls, 1 will.Ernest said, Hilaire's heart does fail him; I am fighting with a coward." Hilaire, stung to the quick, exclaimed I- I have given you every I chance-now the die is cast, take your merited fate!" Then resuming his place, he fired the ball passed through the right eye and brain of Ernest; a party of his men in fatigue dresses ran towards him, bore him off the field streaming with blood, and amidst the cries of the spectators—" L'Hmneur est veiigt ■' Note.—The truth of the tragedy may be relied on—it was enacted eleven years ago-the names of individuals and places are suppressed io; obvious reasons.—JVat>ai Md MUitary Gazette*

It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease, woing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men,wh( by the use of that deadly poison, mercury, ruin the constitution, cause ulceration, blotches 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 genera) debility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a melancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings. In those dreadful cases o f sexual debility, brought on by an early and indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, frequently acquired without a knowledge of the dreadful consequence., resulting therefrom, and which not only entail on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age, and occasion the necessity of renouncing the felicities of mal riage to those who have given way to this delusive and destructive habit, but weaken and destroy all' the bodily senses, producing melan- choly, deficiency, and a numerous train of nervous affections. In these distressing cases, whether the consequences of such baneful habits, or any 01 lie cause, a cci tain and speedy cure maybe relied on by taking Perry's I'urifving Specific Pills, and by a strict attention lo the directions pointed out in the Treatise, which fully explain the drcadtuL esults arising from these melancholy cases.

BANKING. A Raw banking company is about to be established in the tnetropolis, under the denomination of the Commercial Bank of London capital £ 2,000,000. in 2000 shares of £1000. 50 per cent. of which will be called up as required. The success which has attended the introduction of the joint-stock b*nking in this country, has given rise to the establishment of banks, whose aggregate capital must far exceed any estimate whtch could previously have been formed, and affords another proof that with confidence, such as may be reposed in under- aK,ngs of this nature, of the security of deposits, and the sure return for capital invested, added to the facilities they afford to our commercial transactions, that no doubt can be entertained Of the successful results which may be expected to attend them. ?lIln'"g Journal. BRITISh COLONIAL BANK AND LOAN COMPANY. Capital £ 1.000,000., in 25,000 shares of £ 40. each. Depottitf5. per Per share. The successful results attendant on joint-stock nks in the United Kingdom, but more especially those, the "Potions of which have been directed to our colonies, have given rise to the establishment of a new bank under the above "enotnination. It will be valuable as presenting advantages to those who, having emigrated, may find a necessity for advances, or who, being more prosperous, may require a place for invest- ment or deposit, as well as a medium for carrying on their mer- cantile or other pursuits. From the prospectus, just issued, it appears that the usefulness of these institutions has been *ery limited, in consequence of their capital and resources J^ing derived from the colony itself, and from their advances being confined to the mercantile classes, upon bills of exchange; whereas the more extensive demand exists by those who are engaged in raising the staple produce of the colony, from whom 10 to 15 per cut, can be obtained on undoubted securities, NORTII AMERICAN COLONIAL ASSOCIXTION OV IRELAND.— This association has, duringthepresterA week, been brought out under the auspices of Lord Fitzwilliam and a board of direc- tors, of the Very first character for wealth and intelligence. The primary objects contemplated in the formation of the com- pany, appear to be the colonisation and settlement of the British American colonies, and arrangements, it is said in the pftfspec- tus, are being made for conducting this department of the un- dertaking, upon a scale of great magnitude. It is stated with truth, by the projectors of the company, that enormous profits have resulted from gimilar undertakings in the United States, and it is confidently affirmed that the British American pro- vinces offer still greater opportunities for turning to profit the uncultivated lands of those fertile regions. The company, it appears, have obtained from Parliament a most unustlal. Act, conferring upon them the privilege of establishing banks of deposit and issue, in the various AmetfcAh colonies where they may contemplate planting emigration stations and settlements, and yet limiting the responsibility of the shareholders, to the amount of their interest, in the stock of the company. This privilege is not enjoyed by any of the joint-stock banks; and but for the magnitude of the company's intended capital, the soundness of their plans, and the commercial standing, and per- sonal respectability of the board of management, we should say that it was an unwise, an unfair, and a dangerous pt-H'Slege, to confer upon a public body. The COtnp&iiy nave purchased the Signiory of Beauharnois. We have always heard this territory spoken of as the mttsl fertile and beautiful property in Lower Canada the prospectus descsibes it as being about to be made the site of a ship canal, and a railroad, to facilitate the commu- nication between the upper and lower province. If the com- pany, by the infusion of population and capital into the colony, can stimulate industry and enterprise, and promote the execu- tion of useful public works, they will do more to secure the tranquillity, prosperity^ attd safety of our North American pro- vinces, than catt be accomplished by sending a whole army of soldiers. The prospectus does not furnish us with a detailed statement of the plan and principles upon which colonisation is to be conducted. We shall look anxiously for the promulga- t:on of this document, which is promised we will then resume the subject. In the mean time, we caution the company against commencing operations upon too large a scale, or spreading them over too large to surface. It is the combined energy of man which can alone give value to an uncultivated territory. Concentration, and not dispersion of their forces, must be the principle upon which the company should act, if they desire at an early period to obtain an adequate return for the capital em- ployed in the undertaking. Till recently, it has been the pre- lp vailing error of companies, as well as in individuals, in at- tempting to effect settlements in a new country, that they have taken a telescopic view of distant advantages, and overlooked the immediate piofits which, by a different system, they might have realised.-Millillg Journal. CHUDLEIGII.—A curious discovery of a range of caverns was made last week in Cliudleigh Rock> in Consequence of a terrier dog getting into a fissure in pursuit of a rabbit. The dog was heard at various times to bark for more than a week, and as it was almost impossible to extricate him, it was attempted to de- stroy him by burning brimstone. On the fifteenth day after the dog's entombment, his moans were plainly heard by many per- sons, when a further endeavour was made to extricate him. A lad on the following day had the courage, with a rope affixed to him, and two lanterns, to enter the chasms, and after two hours, working a passage of twenty feet, he descended into a dry chamber about thirty feet square, and sixty-three feet below the opening, where he found the dog dead, but still warm. p .1 From an aperture in this cavern gushed a stream of air, leading into another cavern, which is supposed to be still deeper, as the boy had not rope enough to descend.

Dean, and two assistant surveyors, are actively engaged in making a survey and estimate for the contemplated improve- ments in Mill Bay, consisting of the construction of a floating breakwater, on the principle of the patent lately granted to Capt. J. N. Tayler, C.B. of H.M.S. San Josef, (which may be inspected on board that ship.) Capt. Tayler's patent bids fair to supersede stone breakwaters, from its being far more effective in its operation; its cheapness, and from the facility with which it may be applied io harbours of refuge, where breakwaters of any other construction, would be quite inappli- cable. It is also admirably adapted for affording protection to stone breakwaters, while they are being constructed; as it, no, infrequently happens, that long before they are completed, a gale washes the materials into the harbour, and not only causes a serious loss, but does an irreparable injury. The adoption, in Mill Bay, of Capt. Tayler's patent breakwater, will give greater scope for the foreign packets, and for vessels bound up or down channel, seeking shelter from adverse winds. Mr. Dean's model will shew the position, construction, and method of securing Capt. Tayler's breakwater; and also the floating and dry docks, &c.—Devonport Independent.
