SCIENCE. The Railway Magazine, and Annals of Science for March. By John Herapath, Esq. London: James WyId. The number before us contains a large mass of information, connected with railways; including lengthy extracts from various reports. The follow- ing particulars accompany an excellent map of the BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY. ''We give in our present number a map of this line, showing the places in its course marked with more minuteness than has hitherto been done. We believe full, justice is not rendered to the line, in this map, but are glad that any deficiency in this respect will be compensated by a beautiful section, which we hope to give in our next number, on the same scale as the ordnance map, to be presented to its by William Gravatt, the resident engineer. Considering the natural dilliculties of the country our readers will be surprised at the comparatively easy ground selected from Bristol to Exeter, 76 miles, presenting but little cutting, embankment, or expensive work on its whole cotirse. A glance at the section, when it appears, will show that the following inclinations exist almost naturally, 410 counting from Bristol .r_ 4-I miles at 1 in 410 Rise or 12 feet per mile I 5 1 in 377 Full 11 ——— 33 j I in Level 0 ——— 41 1 in 440 Rise 12 —— st 1 in 1S2 Rise 2!) —— It I in !)I Rise 56 Four-fifths (inoltidin, mite tunnel) Level 0 —— 9 miles at 1 in 2G7 Fall 19J —— 10 1 in 528 Fall 10 —— The passenger-traffic already existin-R on the Bristol and Exeter has been proved to be exceed- ingly great, probably proportionably greater than on almost any other line of equal length in the kingdom. Between Bristol and Exeter, and London and Exeter, we have been informed there are 32 coaches daily each. way, the passengers of which will be taken on this line. We presume such a traffic must afford an ample return for the outlay the traffic-tables of the Company show a net proflt of 14 per cent., after deducting the cost in working. and wear and tear. This line is an elongation of the Great Western, with which it very much harmonizes in its charac- ter, and must derive a great advantage from, in its returns. Between the two lines Mr Brunei has certainly a fine field for his plans and improvements, forming as they do a continuous line of communication between London and Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire. Wales, the Western counties, and the south of Ireland, with but little chance of being interfered with by any competing line. We understand the Bristol and Exeter Company are ropidlvcompleting the purchase ofland between Bristol and Taunton, that 22 miles of the line, com- iiiencinl, with Brirtol, are under contract, and 34 mi'es to Bridgwater, expected to be opened in the course of the summer of 1839; at a cost, in the whole, of less than X35 per share, including stations, locomotives, coaclies,&c.&o. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE & GUARDIAN. Siit,-In reply to the enquiries of your correspon- dent respecting the formation of dew, allow me to make the following observations The earth, during the day, from sunrise to qtjnset, absorbs the calorific rays, and by means of evaporai tion, the aqueous particles are drawn into the at- mosphere, where heat is also generated from the power of the solar rays. Now all bodies radiate caloric more or less in proportion to their tempera- ture with different intensities, according to their nature, the state of I 'lieir surftees,and tti,- medium in which they are placed: and at night, therefore, especially in clear and serene weather, this process is everywhere, going on the earth becomes gradu- ally cooler, by throwing off the particles of heat acquired during the day, which are scattered through the atmosphere. The air cools also; con- densation ensues by the deposition of the aqueous particles on surfaces of bodies cooler than the surrounding medium, and thus dew is formed. Hence the production of those miniature globules, sparkling with prismatic colouring, and presenting to us so many extraordinary beauties soon after sunrise, especially in spring and autumn, and most remarkably upon vegetable productions. In cloudy weather, however, during the night, the radialion of caloric is cliecked the aqueous particles are taken up by the clouds, there held in suspension, or fall either in rain. or are again dispersed by the solar rays; under these circumstances no dew is formed. Somebodies radiate heat more rapidly than others condensation sooner takes place upon their surfaces, so as to form dew NHIUT other bodies which do not radiate sufficiently to reduce their temperature low enouh, remain undewed. We have, therefore, IIU- merous modifications of this powerful agent in nature. Amongst the bodies which receive a larger deposition of dew than others, we may mention the threads of the gossamer, swan's down, wool, glass and vegetables. On the other hand, rocks,, and some metals resist it; but gold, silver, copper, and tin continue dry, when iron, steel, zinc and lead become dewed; platina takes the dew powerfully, and most metals with polished surfaces receive it least of any. Different colours also receive the dew differently, depending on their absorbent powers; the dew comes also from the earth, for many sub- stances have been found wetted ou the under sur- faces, and sometimes more so than the upper. From a reference to expcriníenls alld tables of the mean of EVAPORATION near London, they are as follows (From the Hygrometer.)

Fi- nully, "dew is a deposition of water prcviou»ly existing in the air as vapour, and which lose" it" gaseous form only in consequence of beiuar chilled by contact with colder bodies." — (See Turner's Chemistry. Article of licat.)--tioitr frost is the ice of dew, formed by reason of a greater radiatiou, und which is produced also most abundantly in clear and serene nights.

L ITERD T UR E. Fraser's Magazine for March. J. Fraser, 215, Regent Street, London. II There's not half so fine a .0; Magazine as Regina." The review therein of The Doetor,4-c., would alone go a long way to prove the truth of that same assertion. A decade of chapters on such a sub- ject, omitting from the reckoning all inter" and other special kinds of chapters, is surely sufficient, even were the author of The Doctor, fc., con- nected with some one or other of our most ancient cathedrals. A far different chapter, however, has been this one, held under the immediate auspices of the Queen of literature. The first charge to be investigated, if we righly remember, was whether author of The Doctor, ^-C., was himsef a doctor, which was fully proved. C,iriously enough, as we think, precisely the same reasoning might be em- ployed, and as successfully, to prove that the the reviewer of The lJoctor, fe" was also himself a doctor. We ma) be mistaken, but if we be, the only alternative is that the great OLIVER YORK E himself must have 6een the reviewer; and even then much we should wonder if the O. Y. does not shroud with invisibility the gaunt form some LL. or other D. O. Y. Which seems to reprove us; as if it would ask,-O why are you seeking after the Philo- sopher's stone? (For he always writes with a diamond pen). You'll never fathom, though you try, The mystic meaning of O.Y. Such being the case we shall conclude this sub- ject by informing our readers, that perhaps the most extraordinary and erudite review that ever was written,—namely the review in question of The Doctor Sf-c. is uow concluded. To proceed. Sir William Molesworth is "be- phizzed" and bepaged in the style in which Fraser in days of yore, was wont to gibbet alike those for whom she had a special regard, and a special hatred. Few people are perhaps aware what a most extraordinary man this Radical Sir William Molesworth is. "Sir Isaae Newton once said. in our hearing when Sir William, as a lad, came up to Trinity, (not T. C. D.—This, at least, is no printer's blunder.) I I)ash my wig, Mr Yorke! that young man beats me ail to shivers. And having quoted thus much,—having given such a bonne bouche, from the biography before its, we presume every body will be anxious to peruse the remainder. Then reader you had better buy This current number of O. Y. For besides the two subj&cts already named, there are the continuation of the Yellowplush Correspondence, and the third of Dr. Maginn's aeries of Homeric Ballads: The former exposing the vulgarity and indecency of the ttloominablc Diary so lately published; the latter leading us in beautiful and glowing language, to the rich fields of classic lore leading us too through strains of poesy, such as is in the power of but few living authors to weave. FAI n would we have lingered with this Son o SON* awhile. But alack a day! WE live among Whigs and whiglings, and r^spectnig them AND "the Election Petitions and the Grenville Act,' Fraser read so true, so faithful, and important a lesson that we are drawn per force to our duty, which'consists io quoting the lesson in question "The Whigs are now busily employed in knock- in* up the Grenville Act. This sort of work stems to be their peculiar delight: first, to bring some existing law or institution into discredit by their own fault, negligence, or abuse; then, to propose some monstrous scheme, favouring them- selves, or their friends the Radicals or Papists, as an improvement: and, lastl y, when the Conserva- tives in the two bouses have succeeded iu frustrat- ing this job, to fall back upon the original law with redoubled spite, as if bent on making it appear as absurd and as mischievous as possible. "Thus did they, three years ago, with the Irish Church. First, they encourage and promote an attack upon the endowments of the Church of Ireland, on the part of the Romish priests and their serfs, the peasantry. Then they come forward as thefricn-is (!) of the Church, and offer to put her revenues on a better and safer footing, if only she will but consent to give up 860 parishes altogether, and to let a portion of her revenues be diverted to Popish purposes, under the nallle of "education." This traiorous sort of compromise was naturally spurned by the Irish Church, and driven out of parliament by the votes of its friends. And since then the Government of Ireland has openly and strenuouslyex-erted itself, in every possible way, to crush and exterminate the Irish clergy; pro- moting their greatest enediies countenancing and rewarding the leading agitators against tithes; and, in short, by every device that could be ima- gined, working against an institution which it was bound to support, and n aid of plans which it ought to have held in execration. ♦•The Grenville Act is not a national institution, like the Church of Ireland; nor can any one feel, or process, any particular attachment to it. It is but a safeguard to the elective rights of the people, intended to provide a means of rectifying false or fraudulent returns to Parliament; and of thus guaranteeing to the peop'e an effective check upon the possible misconduct or corruption of returning officers and electioneering agents. "This statute, then, though not to be elevated to the rank of a national institution, is a most neces- sary safeguard to that which is, perhaps, the most valued of all our institutions—the House of Com- mons. Without some such safeguard, it would only be necessary to corrupt, in some places, the con- stituencies; in others, the returning officers and a House of Commons might thus be got together by the vilest means, to answer any purpose of the corruptors-w hel her the enslavement 01 the people, or the betrayal of the monarchy. Now, the Grenville Act is not perfect: no one, we believe, has of late either said or thought that it was. Yet, for more than fifty years, it was believed to be almost without a fault; and it was reserved for the'trying times upon which we have fallen to shew, that even this so much adinked measure was not of sufficient strength to stand igainst the increasing political turpitude of the times. The first outcry against the Grenville Act came from the Whigs. And it was occasioned by the mere fact, that several petitions (thirteen, we oelieve, in number) were announced as in prepara- tion against the last Irish returns, and that a sub- scription was commenced in London in aid of the necessary expenses. These two circumstances vere no sooner made public, than we were treated vith a loud exclamation against the injustice and ibsurdity of the Grenville Act! Now, as nothing •tad occurred to give rise to this outcry, save the .simple announcement of the fact that sundry peti- \iona were to be brought forward and tried, it was ;tear that the real ground for the alarm was the trial itself, and not the mode of trial which the law prescribed. Little enough had been heard 01 the faults of the Grenville Act till then; but, now that a number of petitions were to be presented, it was discovered, all at once, that the sort of trial prescribed by the law was a shockingly bad one. And it was even coolly proposed to suspend the con- sideration of these pelitions until a new mode ol trial could be invented and enacted "Now, we beg to repeat, that the Conservatives never desired nor professed to undertake the defence of the Grenville Act, as any thing particularly favourable to them, or to which they were particu- larly attached. But they certainly, and very naturally, protested against thj invention of any pew mode of trial, for the purpose of trying causes already pendiog; and still more to the delaying all rectitication of false returns till a new luw could be made. And while they were ready to concede that it might be quite possible to improve the existing law, the Grenville Act, they requested to be satisfied, tirst, that any proposed alteration would be an improvement, before they.thus consented to meddle with the matter, upon a mere impulse of the moment. But not a single idea or outline of a plan has yet been offered by the Whigs, which even their own party will venture to advocate as a real im- provement. The two or three propositions which have been made would unquestionably substitute for the present, not a better plan, but a worse. In all of them the leading idea is, to give the Speaker (who must always be attached to one of the two great partie,) a voice in nominating an assessor, or assessors, for the decision of all points of law. This would obviously be a considerable change for the worse. At present, we have a committee of mingled Whigs and Conservatives,—each party having the majority by turns, aA the ballot happens to throw up the names. But by the proposed jlll- proniments, the leading voice in the committee, on all points of law, would be always of one descrip- tion of politics, and, under Nfr Abercroinby's speakership, would always be a \Vhig! Now, to all schemes of thi- kind what can the Conservatives answer, but, No,—if this is your proposed improvement, let us rest as we were Not that they would offer the least objection to any scheme which, removing the objectionable parts of the existing system, and offering a more certain course of practice in its room, left the tribunal as impartial, or, at least, as impartially partial, as it is at present. Any plan which would establish a court free from all party bias would eagerly be embraced by the Conservatives. But as no proposi- tion ot the sort has yet been made, they very naturally say, if a party bias cannot be excluded, let each side have its fair chance of the advantage, and do not offer us, as an amelioration, a system still tainted with such a bias, but in which that bias shall al wavs be on the side of the Whigs. "This, then, is the present position of the question, as to the law of Election Petitions and in this predicament of parties the session opened. And the Whigs appear to have resolved upon dealing with this matter just as they have dealt with the Irish Church,—namely, by casting away all shame; taking every advantage, fair or unfair, of the law as it stands, and then turning round upon the Conservatives with the taunt, You stood up for the Grenville Act how do you like it now ?' In a word, shocking as the conduct of Whig election committees, in former years, has been; and shameless as have been their decisions,— nothing half so bad as the doings of the last three weeks had ever occurred before, or had even entered into men's minds, as possible occurrences." We cannot follow the writer into all the various cases. The Bristol one will be well understood in this locality, and the glorious termination of the Marylebone affair is, by this time, known through the length and breadth of the land. These, there- fore, we must quote and thus conclude :— BRISTOL. Committee 8 HI higs, 3 Conservatives. This was what might be technically called I a heavy case.' There was a majority of 53 to be reduced, before the petitioner, Mr Fripp, a Conser- vative, could unseat the sitting member, Mr Berkeley. This would have been a slight under- taking, evenwith the most impartial tribunal; and, accordingly, no fewer than 150 witnesses were brought up to town in the petitioner's behalf. But three or four days'struggle turned difficulty into hopelessness. To he stopped at every point by the technical objections of an opponent who feels that he 'has the committee with him to be prevented from pursuing the most legitimate line of argument and examination; and to struggle in vain, L with rising disgust, at fiodingevery question decided to his disadvantage: all these, and numberless other feelings and motives, naturally bring a man in such a position as this to a speedy surrender. The fourth day thoroughly satisfied the Bristol Conservatives of the impossibility of success, under such circumstances; and they, therefore, very naturally withdrew from the unequal contest, and left the eight Whigs masters of the field." MARYLEBONE. Committee: 3 Whigs, 8 Conservatives. c, As soon as Sir Samuel Whalley saw the names of this committee, he at once resigned the seat. In his letter to his constituents he frankly says, that as he knew of no icstauoe of a committee of Whigs deciding in favour of a Cfonservative, or of a committee of Conservatives deciding in favour of a Whig; and as he had no reason to expect a miracle to be wrought in his behalf, he came to the resolution, so soon as he had ascertained the complexion of the committee, to save them and himself all further trouble. In this universal crimination Sir Samuel exceeds the fact. A Conservative -decidedly Conservative —committee, did, in 1835, seat Mr Hurst, a Whig, for Horsham, and reject the petition of Mr Broad- wood, a Conservative. But Sir Samuel's case was one of mere qualifica- tion. He had sworn, on entering the House of Commons, that he was possessed of a freehold estate of £ 300 a year, which he then named and described. Does he mean TO say, that if he had laid before this committee, consisting as it did of Lord Eastnor, Aid. Copeland, Mr PUSEYT Mr Black- borne, Mr Farnham, Mr Miles, Mr Sturt, the Chisholme, Mr Luke While, Mr Winnington, and Mr Heathcoat (the six whose names we have given in Italics being county Meinbers)-will he say, that if he had uimply laid before these eleven gentlemen his title-deeds to the said freehold estate, there could be the least danger, or even possibility, that they could have reported to the House that he had no qualification ? Assuredly not. The sole reason, then, why Sir Samuel shrduk trom tis inquiry was, because he was unable to prove his qualification, sworn to it though he had Bitt what shall we say to his waiting to see the names of the committee before he came to this prudent determination? Is not this the plainest possible declaration of his belief, that a committee of Whigs and Radicals might have saved hiui ? And, in thus judging, he was fully warranted for the past; for we have not the least hesitation in declaring our belief, that Sir Samuel Whalley possesses a far better qualifi- cation than does Mr Somers of Sligo.

To Pickwick Abroad we shall pay our respects next week, for really we must have some breathing space, else we should die of laughter.

From the Diabolical Controversy" we turn to a more pleas- ing subject. THE SAFE ARRIVAL. With trembling hand she breaks the well-known seal, And hope aud fear within her breast contend, While from her eyes the warm tears gently steal, Drop on the page, and with its raptures blend. She folds the letter oft with kisses prest, And, with the fervour of requited love, Her treasure nestles to her throbbing breast, In transport casting her meek eyes above. 0 in those ayes what sweet expression dwells What gratitude and love are beaming there. The soul has eyes, no tongue her bliis e'er tells,- Those radiant orbs alone her joy declare. And thou art come," she cries, and I shall see Again thy smile, and rush to thy embrace; Alike from danger and from absence free, Thy toils and perils gratefully letrace. But can it be ? can such delight be mine ? Or do I dream as I have often dreamed, And woke to weep, in solitude to pine, Yet to the phantom clung till true it seemed And I have dreamed too of the awful storm, And seen thy vessel dashed upon a TOC*; Seen on the strand thy pale and mangled form, Till with a shriek awakened by the shock. Yes, it II true, and thou, my love, art here, Nor can the storms of ocean whelm thee now Nor for thy Mary need'st thou shed a tear,- The light of joy has settled on her brow. 0 blest reward for all my anxious hours,- The wakeful night, the hope-deferring day The storm is past, and now the calm is our s, And flowers are blooming on our smiling way LIST OF NEW WORKS.

SCRIPTURE ILLUSTRATIONS, (No 235.)—"For the titches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin but the titches are beaten out whh a staff, and the cum min with a rod. Rreati corn is bruise I; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his lio rse men. "-Isaiah xxviii. 27, 2S. In these verses four methods of threshing are mentioned by different instruments; the flail, the drag, the wain, and, the treading of the cattle- The staff or flail was used for the grain that was too tender to be treated in the other methods- The drag consisted of a sort of frame of strong planks, made rough at the bollom with hard stones or iron; it was drawn by horses or oxen over the corn- sheaves spread on the floor, the driver sitting upon it. The wain was much like the former, but. had wheels with iron teeth or edges like a saw. The last mathod of treading out the corn bv oxen is well known from the law of Moses, Deut'. xxv. 4. For "horsemen" v. 28 of the text, we should read with the Syriac, Vulgate, and others, "hoofs."— Bishop Lou:th.

CURLING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE AND GUARDIAN. SIR,—Happening during the. late rrqlJt to be walk.. ing along the bauka of the New Ship Canal, at Car- diff, I witnessed a number of the workmen employed in that magnificent and interesting undertaking, en- gaged in a game 011 the ice, new in this part of the country, called curling. It seemed to be a sport of the most manly and exciting description, requiring considerable bodily exertion and no small skill in tiie performers and in which their whole energies of body and mind were absorbed. I should feel great gratification in learning any particulars of this striking and noble amusement. And if any of your Scotch readers would favour you with the history and laws<if the game, they would be doing an ac- ceptable service to the community of this country at large, and to, Sir, your very obedient servant, Caerphilly, Feb. 1838. GVVLADGARWR. [Has the writer ever seen a work entitled Fisher's ivintel. Season?-a book published by a poor but iutelligent blind man. It gives some account of the game but sneaking from memory, we cannot say that it contains the laws and regulations—EDITOR.]

Consumptive Coiuh, an,1 Pulmonary Affections.— Asthmatic persons who have been cured by this Essence, declare that prior to its ll<e iliev had not been ible to lie down in bed for twenty nights, on account of impeded respiration. Tliis medicine will be found valuable to persons who are obliged to^travel in the fogs and damp air. It will cure children's coughs in two days. Its immense sale is a sufficient proof of its wonderful effects If any person afflicted with a Cold, will take two full- sized teaspoonsful of this Essence, in a little'warrn nUll and watet at ni"ht, sncii person will in the morning find himself almost well. w°mlerful and surprising good effects in cases of In!lucnu. and Coughs are well known abundant opportunities of late have been afforded, and nearly one thollsantl bottles werc sold by the late pro- prietor, within 14 days in the tnonth of February, 1,337. It is gaining universal patronage, and is highly spoken of; the extraordinary cures effected by it in Northamp- ton, have spread it far and wide.

HOLLOW A Y'S UNIVERSAL FA- 1\1 I L Y 0 1 The astonishing: and almost miraculous of this pre- paration in the of the fo1!owing dis- orders, has the Prnp{ielor (at the suggestion ot it large portion of the highest medical characters, not only of England but the continent) to extend the b ion to every ialllily; not one (as a princi- pal member of the faculty recently observett) ought to be without it. It will be found more efficacious in the following diseases than any other medicine extant. Ulcers, Wounds, B id Legs, Nervous Pains, Rheumatic and Paralytic Pains, Gout, Contracted and Stiff Joints, Pains of 'he Chest and Bones, Difficult Respiration, Sec.

Copy of a Letter from Edward Binns, M. D. F. S. A. Scot. &c. &c. My nEAR SIR, — After reading the very strongly worded testimonials of Sir Benjamin Brodie and Mr Mayo, (names that would confer an immortality on any remedy;, I was predisposed in favour of your Ointment, and made many trials in consequence, in cases of Chronic Ulcers which a seven years' experience in the West Indies had taught me to consider as incurable by the ordinary methods resorted to. I am now hap:>y to say that in all cases it was, to my utter astonishment, really and truly efficacious; and ;hat I have not the slightest hesitation in adding, that I place the most entire reliance on it, in all diseases of the Epiderm;s, in enlarged Glands, and long-standing Ulcers. In sore Nipples, it is an excellent remedy. (Signed) EDWARD BINNS. London, 7, Milton Street, Dorset Square, Sept. lith, 18:57. Sold by the Proprietor, l. Broad Street Buildings, London; .Mr D.

B. Drury, of the Newspaper Office, Lincoln, should take down au account of tiie very great benefit fit- has derived from BLAIK'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, which medicine has done him more good for Gout and than all the preparations he has tried. For when the Rheumatic or Gouty pains have come on, the taking a dose or two of the Puis has re- moved the attack, of which he usually had been alllicted for a month or more. lie has had about have a dozen boxes from E. B. Drury's. near the Sionebow, Linc-dn, and as the medicine is really so good, be will be glad to answer any inquiries respecting it, twhich may tend to the comfort of others. The foregoing statement was taken down, by Mr Elkingtou's particular desire, on Monday, March 13, 1837, at Mr E. B. Drury's shop, Gazette Office, Lincoln, by me, GEORGE BOOT. Mr PROUT,—Sir,—The above is one of many other similar instances; I have nevor heard of a IVJedicine which seemed to give such complete satisfaction as this. Send me twelve dozen boxes as early as possible. I am, your's, respectfully- March, 15, 1S37. li. B. DRURY. The Testimony of Mr Llkington (as above) is another proof of the general effect of this L.,ceellt Medicine, which has called forth the giatelul thanks and approha tion ofallclasses of society. From many of the highest branches of the nobility to the poorest peasant, they have happily been the means of giving a degree of health and comfort, which in IIIO;.t cases had not been onjoyed for years they effectually relieve the most aoute fit of Gout in a few hours, and seldom fail to enable the patient to resume his usual avocation in two or three days, and if taken oil the first symptoms, the patient is frequently left in doubt as to the reality of the attack. And there is another most important effect belonging to this Medi- cine—that it prevents the disease flying to the brain, stomach, or other vital part.
