Oxford-street, May 22d, 11345. 'i his extraordinary discovery must, before many months have eUpsed, beiorne of general use in the establishment of every noblcnun and gentleman in the kingdom. It is. indeed, reuiaikubie tl'> gentlemen posse^sim; large quantities of va- luable Plate sfijtild so lung have allowed the use of such destructive compounds as the ordinary t late Powders for cleaning and polishing articles rendered invaluable as HISTO- RICAL FAMILY RECORDS of SON" interesting or important event. If any person would 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 metais, and ultimately renders them as brittle as pewter. This result will explain the numerous accidents arising fr(iin lie slightest blow or fall, when plates of silver, chased and worked at immense expense, art. broken into pieces like glass; the fragments being considerably less valuable than the unwronght metal, until by a difficult and tedious process the silver is repurified. But this is nottheontyevitarwine from the amalgamation of quicksilver with the pure metal Persons ignorant of the la" s of chemistry have encouraged the use of corrosive Plate Powders, for giving a brilliant polish to silver whereas the silver is not at all pohsh' d, the surface being only covered with a coating of quicksilver, which, from its great affinity for oxygen, will remain brilliant only for an hour; and, consequently, heforf the article po- lished can be again ti ed, will require another rubbing or filing away of this corroded surface -< be replaced by a fresh layer of quicksilver, until layer attn ayerof the pure metal is taken away, gradually reducing it to a thin and paltry plate, fitting it only for the crnróhle of tb,. silversmith. In large establishment*, 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, i" order to sell them to silver or kold refiners, who de- rive no inconsiderable profit from the pure metal contained in these diity leathers or rags. Nile 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 litllc consequence whether the article be cleaned has been laid by for days or years, whet: er it be only dis- coloured. or tarnished as black as a liat immed'atf lv on the application of the SILVO-G\LVANl C.I.k vl. th. disco louration is removed, and ti.fn, with a soft anil clean wash- leather. a most brilliant and virgin-white poll-" iiiay he produced. In chased silver the deepest nook and corner, where dirt and corrosion are so diffieub to remove, become equally polished with the level surface, by sim,'ly tisit:g a uf) plate-brush.

A MOST valuable remedy for Bilious and Liver Com- plaints, Indigestion, Head-Ache, Giddiness, Loss of Appetite, Flatulency, Gout, Rheumatism, Heartburn •Spasms, Lowness of Spirits, Costiveness, &c. These celebrated FAMILY ILLS have been faithfully dis- pensed by the present Proprietor for more than 30 years and have obtained from all grades of the community a'character and reputation which no medicine of a similar nature has hitherto acquired. Dr. SYDENHAM'S PILLS being a most happy combination of vegetable matter, and not contain- ing any mercurial preparation, require neither confinement nor alteration in diet during their use. Moderate exercise in- creases sheir good effects. They may be taken at an\ time when the bowels are costive and uneasy; and Sydenham's Pills should be taken ny persons of all ages, they assist digestion, correct excesses of the table, give a healthy action and tone to the stomach, remove all complaints io which the digestive organs are subject, and will lea »to health and cheer- ful old age. Families and the Proprietors of Boarding Schoo s should never be without an adequate supply of this admirable Family Medicine, as SYDENHAM'S PILLS maybe resorted to with the greatest safety an;i success, on the first appearance of indis- position, and by adopting this practice, many serious and too often fatal attacks will be entirely prevented. The following is the opinion of an eminent Physician practis- ing extensively in Bristol and Clifton— I have examined the composition of Dr. Sydenham's Pills, and consider theiu .1 v.ry valuabl remedy in ail com- plaints to which the S'iji stive Organs are subject, especially Bilious affections. <n >u innumerable variety ot diseases which tre th c. i..ep> of an iircgular and imperfect t'on of the org .<•. >i .v,i u." • • • I lie taoit .it's, the young and aged, prrfe SYDENHAM'S" I'-LLS other aperients, as they are beneficial to t»; >< .1 >b, i.nprove their appearance, and b-ing a Ai'.Lr ..OPERATION, they are at once mild, safe, and ejfectuul.

J. J. GUEST, CHAIRMAN. Railway Office, Cardiff,) November 19th, 1815. ) Manchester and Milford Haven Railway. IN pursuance of Resolutions passed at a Meeting of the Provisional Directors, held at the office of the Com- pany, No. 2, Norfolk Street, Manchester, 011 the 18th instant, the APPLICANTS FOR SHARES are informed, that the extraordinary difficulty of procuring the services of a sufficient number of competent assistants, has rendered it impossible to complete the Plans and Sections before the 30th inst., in a manner sufficiently accurate to be respectful to Parliament and creditable to the Company. Under these circumstances, the Directors consider that it would be most injudicious, and inconsistent with a proper sense of public duty, to press forward operations with a view of applying to the Legislature in the ap- proaching Session, and they have decided that the intended application to Parliament shall not be made in the coming, but in the next subsequent Session. The Directors have been gratified to find that the undertaking receives the warm support of the landowners on the line, and of all others locally interested. The Directors are actively engaged in negociations with all the Railway Companies in any way connected with the line of country between Manchester and Mil- ford Haven, and they have every assurance of the ulti- mate support and co-operation of some of the most powerful existing Railway Companies, in carrying out the measure in a manner worthy of so great a national undertaking. 1 The great encouragement derived from these circumstan- ces, & the conviction of the growing strength of the project in the public estimation, has determined the Directors to pursue with steadiness their originalobject of completing a line of Railway upon which the working and cost of transit between Manchester and Milford Haven shall be so regulated as to identify the interests of the Company with the interests of the Merchants, Manufacturers, and Shipowners from whom the principal traffic will be de- ° rived. The Shares of this Company will therefore be allotted immediately, and a call of two shillings and sixpence made in the first insatnce, and the remainder of the deposit will not be called for until such time as the Managing Committee may deem necessary to prepare for the application to Parliament in the Session after next.

dfoveisn SntiUtgmrr* FRANCE.-The Paris journals of Sunday merely repeat the topics which for some days previously had engaged their attention, referring to tho Oregon dispute, the operations against Buenos Ayres, the absurd decision of the Cour de Cassation relative to the liabilities of journalists to have their papers invaded by sensitive au- thors, vain artists and deputies, and scheming quacks, &c. We are accordingly spared the necessity of offering extracts from the journals in questions. The Moniteur contains an account of the ceremonial of laying the first stone of the hotel dcstined to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. M. Guizot and M. Durnon, Ministers of Public Works, laid the first stone of the intended building on Saturday. His Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in a short speech, corigrt»tulMtfdtthe assembly that another monument was about- to-be added to those which had already rendered Pari* the wonder of the civilised world. • SPAIN.—Accounts from Madrid of the 24th ult. say the elections occasioned by the advancement of so many deputies, not less than 40, had already begun, and for the moment were attracting universal attention. A Barcelona correspondent gives the result of the first day's polling in that important city, and which tarried in fa- vour of the opposition. A' Bayonne correspondent assures us that should Ministers be defeated upon the first trial of strength for President of the Chamber, they will dissolve the Cortes. At Cadiz, the' Moderado candi- date has been returned by a majority of 90. Accounts from Lima, <jf the 23d April, stated that the Peruvian Government was negociating with the Spanish Govern- ment for the recognition of the independehce of the pro- vince, and with hopes of success. The Herald's cor- respondent writes:-The opposition papers, not alone throughout the interior of Spain, but in the capital also, have stated with much emphatic iteration and wonderful unanimity, that the fiscal system of Senor Narvaez was a complete failure; that there was the greatest difficulty in getting in the taxes; that many people had allowed their goods to be seized that a kind of passive resistance had commenced, and that before long the Exchequer would, to use a cant phrase, be without the Spanish. In answer to this vague declaration, I am now enabled to state on good authority, that the taxes for the last month produced no less a sum than 82,000,000 of reals, while the taxes for the present month are expected to produce at Waist the sum of 90,000,000 reals. I will not conceal from you that a number of wealthy people have freely paid and without demur-that a number of people of moderate fortunes have also unmurmuriogly paid their contribu- tions while, on the other hand, some poor and some factious persons have allowed their goods to be seized. These wares are now lying in the Custom House, but it is said no buyers are to be found. No general sustained or well-organised plan of resistance to the payment of the imposts has, however, been ventured on; and though from the very poor and needy, or from the turbulent and factious, it may be difficult to Collect them, still, in ao far as the collection has proceeded, it riuat be deerried to be successful. This is a glimmering of good news for the English creditors be Spain, for the only chance of their receiving anything in our day rests upon the success of Senor Mon's financial operations. HANOVER, Nov. 25.-His Majesty was very unwell for some days, and was confined to bed for four days, which is a very unusual circumstance for our monarch, who enjoys excellent health fbr his years. The tender affection with which he regards his little grandson, is much talked of. And one recent proof of it comes clogely under the noticte of the public, viz.—a present of six of the finest Isabel horses of his Majesty's stud, with which magnificent team the seven-weeks old prince is taken out an airing every forenoon. THE POLISH FRONTIER, Nov. 16.—Simula, neously with the arrests which took place in Posen, rand which were noticed in last week's GUARDIAN] many more were effected in the kingdom of Poland, more especially in Warsaw and its vicinity, evidencing that the conspiracy extended far into the interior of this unhappy country. The circumstance, too, of the Prussian aothoritierbeing But apprised of the existence of the plot in Poserl by the Russian governmentseems likewise to confirm the supposi- tion that its proper origin is to be sought in Bussian- Poland; moreover,the plan of the eonspiracyiso far as it has come to light, is nearly identical with that of last February. In addition to keys for entering the powder magazine and government treasury, it seems they had secured the means of admittance to the fortifications, which it was intended to blow up, with the exception of a very small part, which was to be reserved as a rallying point for their own party in case of discomfiture. During the time occupied in effecting this, another division of the conspirators was to have got the Posen civic authorities into their power, and if they refused to join the plot, to have dispatched them without mercy. When matters had advanced so far, the peasantry aroand Posen would have united themselves with those coming from Poland, and civil war would have blazed forth in aH its fury. Why Posen was selected for the scene of the first out- break is more difficult to say; but most probably, from the well-known general discontent with which the ad- vancing fortifications of that city are viewed by the Poles, who see in them a vexatious hindrance to all future attempts for restoring their national independence; and the present moment was chosen in the hope that the reigning religious excitement might at once veil the political intrigue from the observation of the authorities, and stimulate the fanatical populace to more uncondi- tional obedience to the conspirators' will. Our chief police magistrate, ML de Minutoli, who has displayed even more than his usual energy, on this occasion, is importuned with anonymous threatening letters but he is not the man to be intimidated by any such attempts. H. received one yesterday, which I myself saw; it con- tained the drawing of a gallows, with Minutoli's signa- ture below (and that so Well imitated that it might be called a fac-simile of his usual rnode of signing his name), besides which stood the date, 29th November, whether to indicate that that should be the day of his elevation, or as an allusion to the day on which the Warsaw revolution commenced, it is difficult to determine.—HeraM. POSEN, Nov. 15.-The attempt, which all but IUC- ceeded, of entrapping the Polish militia into the conspi- racy, is stated to have been made and frustrated in the following manner: Forged orders were sent to the militia men (who only serve when especially called upon) to assemble at a particular place, on a certain day. No one doubted the authenticity of these orders, which would have been punctually followed, had not one of the men, who was going to be married, gone to his commanding officer to ask permission to absent himself from the muster. This, of course, produced an explanation and led to the discovery of the forged orders. The arrest, a few days since, of a gentleman's steward in that neigh- bourhood is suspected to have some. connection with this bold stroke. Whether a non-commissioned officer, who was yesterday brought in a prisoner, had any share in it I am not as yet able to say. -Correspondent of the Morning Herald. THE UNITED STATES.—ARRIVAL OF TUB CAL6- DOKU.—Friday night, the Caledonia steam-ship, from Boston, arrived at Liverpool, by which we have received New York dates to the 15th November inclusive. The tone of public opinion had become less warlike, notwith- standing the appeals made by some of the papers to the passions of the Democracy. The news by this convey- ance relates principally to the Oregon affair, but about which there is nothing decisive. The general feeling is, however, represented to be more temperate, and the right-minded portion of the community appear to depre- cate both war and violehcfr.

THK WHOLE or Oreoom, oh N<JNK.'—Th& in the only alternative as an issue of territorial right.

We clainr as. matter of right the territory drained by the Columbia rivef. In the view of the law of nations, this territory being ua- occupied, has its distinctive character and unity as one region, in the fact that it is so drained. And as orie t region, we either own it, or we do not own it. Away i then, once for all, with such lidhsenbe the lldim of England north of 49 deg. is better than oui-dliim!" < Let us at least know clearly, and state accurately, what | we do in this matter. If it have ever been deemed expe- ( dient (as a matter of compromise, and to hush up a dis- pute) to give away to England a certain portion of thit • land, all of which we colisider ours; or (tÓm any other motives of national concernment, it may have been j deemed wise to compromise the question of possession, < let us say so, and put our past action on that ground. But let us make no attempt to cloak our policy under a pretended inferiority of our title to the land so sacrificed. No such pretence can save us.—From the Washington j Union- Official Organ. ) The New York Courier and Enquirer, of the 14th inst., states that the political aspect of affairs has within a da!y or two past become brighter, or less uncertain. With Mex- ico it seems all but officially known We are likely soon fo have a resumption of diplomatic relations, the overture coming from Mexico. When negociations shall be re- sumed there will, it is believed, be little real difficulty in adjusting all controverted points, In respect of Oregdki there is also within the past week more ground for b4- lieving that a pacific solution will be given to this difli- cult question. At least such we have reason to think Is the impression of the diplomatic corps at Washington, who naturally watch with much interest the shifting occurrences that serve to indicate what is passing around them. The expression of public opinion, moreover, which has been called forth by the possibility that the conflicting claim to Oregon might lead to war has been so decisive, as probably to strengthen the influence of those in and around the administration, who have here- TT °FC ,L|USUF F (FOM,. 'lost*'e language or preparations. Upon the whole, therefore, we state with some confidence the belief that the present prospects are more favourable than we have hitherto considered them, for a peaceful and mutually satisfactory adjustment of the Oregon ques- tion A correspondent of the National Intelligencer writes as follows: By letters from Washington I learn that it is whispered in diplomatic but confidential circles that our, Government has lately offered to the British Minister to treat on the parallel of the 49th degree as the boundary. I further learn that Mr. Packenham having declined the offer, it was withdrawn by Mr. Buchanan. It is pneper for me to add that the rumour is believed in the quarter from which I derive my information.

We say vin- dictive, because there has been scarcely a day since its ludicrous attempt to impugn the conduct of the house- hold troops at the Windsor election, on which an instal- ment Z its wrath has, not been poured upon the army at large, and the military authorities in particular.

RAILWAY LIABILITIES. 1 The Times in an article treating of the lq&al responsi- bilities of parties engaged in getting up railway schemes, and who may have parted with their scrip at a profit (the company not being carried out and a portion of the deposits being returned,) cites the following illustration "Now we will put a caw, which like ftoore noTelt. may be taken as funded on fact.' Last summer a new railway was projected, with a capital of £ 500,000, divided into 25,000 shares of j620 each, and a deposit ofjEZ was required to be paid on each share. There were 25 pro- visional committee-men, and each of them was secured 100 shares, if he chose to take them up. Applications came in for more than 100,000 shares and therefore it seemed safe to rely on the scrip being at a premium is soon as it was brought into the market. The provisional ebntmittee-men took up their 2500 sharea, apd judiciously disposed m small lots, taking ca^e not to glut tbe market. While this was going on, allotments were made of 15,000 shares to the general applicants; but as the' Ifemium Jras uteadHy rising the odd were -6 reserved" from the public, and allotted to the provi- sional committee-men in various proportions, according to their influence with the committee of management. Most of these shares were likewise disposed of by their holders, who only retained a small lot each by way of qualification. It will probably be admitted that we have imagined a case which comes pretty near Jfce truth of many instances. Now, let us look at the position ofi any one of those provisional committee-men. He shaU be a gallant Admiral, Who, before the luckless day on which he was' tempted to figure m a railway prospectus, was living an agreeable life of retirement in a seaport town, as ignorant of business, acts of Parliament, and legal or commercial responsibilities as a sea-shark. The brilliant accounts. hfheard of pr'*e money made by railway buccanierinjr •Pbpted him to ^venture with letters of allotment as far' more remuaetating than letwrt bf marque, and he jumped at the offer of a kind friend to nominate him on a provisional t^mittee— provisional committee to for fci knew little enough Uboot land travelling. Having disposed of his first lOO shares at £ 2 10s, premium, he gladly took a second 100, and disposed of them at £ 3 10s. premium. He thus was repaid the £ 40Q which he paid by way of deposft, w .e 8e • dear profit on his venta\re of sUktO. We will suppose him to have been content with this, aiid P°^"8°fre,<laent,y ^appen^d, to have frittered away his £ 800 by buying scrip in other lines irt> premium add selling it at a loss. He knows that jCSO.OOo Were paid by way of deposit on the shares, and there is. conse- quently, a handsome fund to be exhausted before Ije cin be called on for any contribution towards the preliminary expenses. What those expenses amount to he knows not, except that one of the committee of management has assured him, confidentially, that though they b^ve be £ n unusually heavy, they cannot; inclusive of a large sum paid for the abandonment of a tival line, exceed 10s. a share. His £ 600 seeming so secure, he indulges in some extraordinary expenditure, and Soon locks it all up, more or less profitably. The 30th instant passes, and in a few days he receives an intimation from the secretary :to iiis line that it had been found impossible to give the notices required by the standing ontder¥, and that the afMis of the company wift be wound \ip. I ft the e6ufstf of W%efcs, or months, he sees an advertisemetft thrt the' sulAcHbfirf to his line may, an application it the 'offipel of rink. theS "Ewues, at Hie rate of £ 1 lOi. a share,. tfii, i^d is at re»t, for he no longer owns any scrip and he chuckles at being ofi^ mess. In a lew diys, however, he is stqrqung at the land sharks.^ An attorney has' wntteQ te Mo* a peremptory letter, elating that his client A B, who purchased from him, through Mr. C be the well-known brokers, 200 shares in the Railway Company, has instructed the writer to demand the repayment of the EiOOO paid for those shares, and in case of nonpayment, "O bring an aetion against the gallant Admiral for the imount. 44 What can the rascal mean V*. In reply to an Indignant answer, the attorney refers him to the we of Kempson v; Saunders," Bingham's Reports, volume 4, )age 5, a concise statement of which may serve as a con- tusion and moral to our tale:— This was an action brought by Kempson againat Saunders for the amount paid to him for twenty shares, Lt £3 58. premium each, in the then projected railway from Birmingham to Bristol, which shared Saundeh [michased from the original subscriber. The promoters had agreed that nothing should be done—by which wt understand nothing towards the formation of the railway l>eyond the necessary preliminaries for an act—till an apt incorporating the railway jhould be obtained. The icheme failed, whereupon ^Betion was brought, and a rerdict was found for the plflWfi| subject to the opinion of the Court as to whether the whole transaction had npt been illegal. Chief Justice Best, with the concurrence of the reBt of the Court, held that the verdict must stanjl, and said,—"The defendant, who was hot in' briginal subscriber, but had purchased these shares {which, |n fact, were not saleable till the company was formed), sold them to the plaintiff; but he sold a nothing-ran ajleged title, of no value. If he bought of mother, .h? may Sfse the seller, and the teller the party front whom he pur- chased, till, at last, tot come to THB oaiGlNAL PROJEC- TORS, AND, IN OZTTINe AT rSBII, A GRBVT agaviCKl WJLl, BE OOXX."
