Melling was killed upon the spot, and Cook had his nose broken and was otherwise severely injured but we bear that he is likely to recover.— Plymouth Chronicle. DISCOVERY or InoN OHK.—We are glad to hear that the Coal Work Company, new carrying on their judicious ami spirited operations upon the TalacVc estate, in Flintshire, have discovered a rich b'rtdy of Iron Ore, presenting appearances that encourage them to believe it may be worked in an open cast. The circumstance promises 10 conler on the neighbouihood of Tal- acre, advantages similar to lliose of Ihe cclcbralrd coal and iion districts of Dudley, Wednesbury, and Bilston. The company is making arrangements for forming a rail rcSd Vo a harbour on the Dee, about half a mile to the tis", of the Point of Air, a! Sir Edward Mostyn's txvense. The line was last week sur- veyed by an ciViirtent civil engineer. It is supposed that this i discovery will in conjunction with the surrounding coal mines, yield to the generous proprietor of Talacre no less a royalty than from ten to fifteen thousand pound a year.— Carnarvon Hen'ld'¡

RAILWAYS.
RAILWAYS. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—On the 20th instant the speed of the mail trains on this railway will be accelerated, i'he day mail will leave London station at llalf-past nine in II c morning, and ariive in Birmingham in five hours. A stoppage of eight minutes ",HI bte allowed at Tring, ten minutes at Wol- verton. ilivee minutes at Weedon, and nine minutes at Coven- try making a total of twenty-five minutes occupied by the Stoppage', and only four hour* and thirty-five minutes in pet- forming ihe journey of 116 miles 6 furlongs. The day mail train from Birmingham will accomplish the journey in the same time, allowing the same stoppages at the different places above- mentioned. The night mail train will leave the London slalion at half-past eight, and complete the distance in five hours and a half; the stoppages to be for the same periods and at the same places as those named for the day trains. CHEAT WESTERN RAILWAY. — The further distance from Maidenhead lo I ivyford, about nine miles, will be opened pro- bably not before the beginning of July. A great Innease has taken place in the traffic of this linei The receipts rose, latterly from £ 1500. lo £ 2000., but during the last week they have been £ 2400. and the passengers, which had increased to 12,000, in the past week were 15.000.

MILL HAY HARBOUR AND FLOATING IDOCKS.—We are in- formed that the promoters of the Exeter and Plymouth Railway intend making Mill-bay the terminus of their line, for which purpose it is admirably situated between Plymouth and Devon- poit. The floating dock will hold 200 sail, exclusive of the for- eign packets and the outer harbour, which will be armed by a breakwater, from the point of Mr. Gill's quarry, will have Ironi three to four fathoms of water at low tide, and will afford abundance of room for steamers to lay afloat, and go out of bar bouratanyttmeoftide. The great ahundance of slone on the spot will render the cost of this work comparatively trifling, as the limestone excavated to form the latter haibour will "go a great way in completing the breakwater. TIIHIES TUNNEL.— This great national undeilak;ng is ra. pidly progressing, and the most sanguine expectations are en. lertained of reaching low water-mark, on ibe Middlesex shoie, before the termination of the summer. The works have now progressed to within thirty, five feet of Trinity low water-mark on the nosth side, and from the state of the shield an.) the ge- neral appearance of the excavation, it is believed that all dan- ger has been surmounted. When low water-maik is reached, a shaft will be sunk on the Wapping side of the river, and the workmen will continue their labours at both ends of the tunnel. It is expected that the subterranean communication between Surrey and Middlesex for foit passengers, will be opened in abont fifteen months. The number oi visitors has gteatly in. creased of late, and the book which is kept in the tunnel for the entrance of names contains the signatures of the most distin- guished characters in Europe, including many scientific men. MAILS BY STEAM FROM ENGLAND TO HALIFAX. Ihe Hon S. Cunard has contracted 10 convey the mails from Engtand to Halifax twice a month, in steamers not less than 300 horses' power; the first vessel to leave Liverpool on the first of May, 1840. The contractor to foiwaid the mails to Boston in small steamers, and to run a steam-boat between Pictou and Quebec. Contract for seven years, at £ 55,000. steiling per anuunb e understand that the above contract will be carried into effect by a highly respectable house at present engaged in steam navi- gation between Liverpool and Glasgow. RECLAMATION OF IRISH WASTE LANDS.—We perceive with pleasure, that a company of wealthy London capitalists, has been formed for the purpose of reclaiming between 30 and 40,000 acres of waste land in the countries of Donegal and Derry. The engineer to this company is a gentleman whose name and character must impart public confidence to any un. dertaking with which he may be connccled, John Manceil, Esq.; and so confident are the undertakers of success and speedy re- turns, that they propose to pay interest upon subscriptions, at the rate of five per cent., as soon as £10. on each shaie (the capital stock consisting of 10,000 shares) shall have been paid up. Regarding the reclamation of waste lands as all impor- tant to Ireland, and that the introduction of British capital by private enterprise will lend lo consolit'atc the union and har- monise the constituent parts of the empire, we hail with plea- sure the establishment of the Lough Foyle and Lough Swilly Embankment Company. GAS-LIGHT.—The earliest application of this artificial light, on a large systematic scale, was made at Manchester whcic an apparatus for lighting the great cotton mills of Messrs. Phillips and Lee, was fitted up in 1804 and 1805 under the direction of Mr. Murdoch. A quantityof light, nearly equat to 3000 candles, was produced and distributed in this building. Thts splendid pattern has been since followed very generally in Great Britain, and more or less in many parts of the continents of Europe and America. By the year 1822 gas-lighting in London had become the business of many public companies. In 1822 there were four great companies, having in all forly- seven gasometers at work, capable of containing 917,940 cubic feet of gas, supplied by 1315 retoits, which generated per an. num upward* of 397,000,000 cubic feet of gas, by which 61,203 private lamps, and 7268 public or street lamps, were lighted in the metropolis. Besides these public companies, there weie likewise several private ones.—Dr. Ure's Dictionary of Arts. A project was on foot a short time since for lighting all Paris, by means of a light placed on one of the highest monuments in the capital, and the result to be obtained was to have been de- lived from a combustion of gas with certain chemical substances. This idea was laughed at at the time, but it stems about to be reduced to practice, and the public are, it is said, shortly to witness the experiment. The new method of preserving iron work from rust, communi- cated by M. Paymen to the French Institute, consists in plun- ging the pieces to be preserved in a mixture of one part conmi- tiated solution of impure soda (soda of commerce) and three parts water. Pieces of iron left for three months in this liquid had lost neither weight nor polish whilst similar pieces immersed for five days in simple water were covered with iust.—Liverpool Mercury. LIQUID LEATHER—A Dr. Bernland, of Lamia, in Germany is said to have discovered a method of making leather out of certain refuse and waste animal substances. A manufactory of this nature has been established near Vienna. No part of the process is explained, only it is said that the substance is at one time in a complete state of fluidity, and may then be cast into shoes, boots, and other articles of diess.

ADDRESS TO THE PUBLIC. DR. RRANDRETH Wishes mankind to consider that health solely depends on the state of put ity in which the blood is kept, every part of the body being supplied daily with new blood from the food consumed, consequently, according to the pureness of that blood, so most the state of the body be more or less healthy. To obtain, therefore, the most direct pu- rifier, is a question of no little importance to every individual. It matteis not what Mr. Morrison 01 Dr. Brandreth say about 14 their Pills of Vegetable, but what medicine is really the best. That BnANDnErii's PILLS aie the most direct purifiers, there will be no doubt, when it is considered that they have gained their present very extensive sale-not by advertisement—but by their own intrinsic merits; and their universality is esta- blished by the fact, that their opetation is more oi less powerful, it -I according to the pnreness of the citculating fluid—for, if taken by a person who is in a fair state of health, thev are scarcely •eu=—but, if taken by one suffering from disease, their operation will be powerful, and perhaps painful, until tin; disease is con- quered, or the system entirely under their infliience-flilli ac- complished, small doses, say two, or three, or four Pills, three or four times a week, will soon effect a cure, even in the most inveterate cases. TESTIMONIALS. Bm.YBRiiTH's Pif,t.s.—As all admirable <l«mc.<Uic medicine, Uicse pills cannot be surpassed. In boardinit-schools, in the neighbourhood of the metiopotis.they have been introduced by their respective propri- etors with the most happy results.—Herald. liraiidrelh's Pills, which have attained a celebrity in the Annals of Physic," unequalled in ancient or modern times, have performed such astonishing cures, that niimbciB of itie facility have publicly recoided their opinions of their wonderful health-restoring qualities.—Satirist. We feel both pleasure and satisfaction in recommending to all our readers Brandreth's Vegetable Pills, as the most certain, most safe, and invaluable medicine extant.—Times. IVe have just heard of a most surprising cure effected by Brandreth's pills the party to whom we allude was on the very verge of the grave when foitunatcly she was induccd to trv the effect of Dr. BrandrethV Uiiiveisal Medicine, ami the result was her speedv restoration to per- fect health.

The recent case of the Chevalier de le Garde, Chamberlain to Stanislaus, late King of Poland, is one of the most convincsnp proofs of their great and extraordinary virtues. Similar effect, were also experienced by the Rev. Doctor Blomberg, of Mis- perton Hall, Yorkshire, Chaplain to his late Majesty, and Rector of Cripplegate, London, w ho, with a spirit of the kindest humanity, voluntarily gave his testimony to their happy effects.

I found ihe pits awful ciicular gulphs of some yards wide, *nd of an imniense depth same, sixty or seventy yards, others, miich as two hundred yards. A terrible place one of these seemed to inc. far more than those old forsaken ones where had gone to seek buds' nests, because .those were half-con- ^aled with bushes, and these standing wide open to'the day. shuddeicd lo see the colliers go near them, much more lo see sen* themselves on a single chain, hook it to the end of J/* tosgfc rope that hung over this tenable chasm, and sufici ^ewtselves to be thus let down to the bottom* "^liese pits *cre very old-fashioned pits.

At one of "ese [>K«, a girl once |>erfoiined this office, and missing her foot -s she approached the pit's mouth to hook the load of coal, fr^Wged headlong ifllo the pit, and was dashed to pieces.

In this they keep good fire in cold weather, and here, when they have done Jheir w,k, M'.ey often sit and drink ale, and make meriy. A an.i uncouth crew they look yet I found them a very ho good-natured set of fellows; and t delighted to sit on a i ge«^„al willl them, and hear them tell their counttysto-ies V which they have abundant, with many a random shot of _»»n»ry wit."

It was a "I" not express.VC of age, but of good fellowship. ^lanv a day did L use to spend amongst these black and ^nest mortals. I used to climb upon thci» stacks of coal, thai Attended far and wide, a sable wilderness, and there I found thAnY a lieastim of waglails' nesis. At length 1 mustcicii <"0ur-1g« to go down a pit—yes, down one ol those dreadful ^•'phs of which no bottom could be seen, but up which cams .< m blue vapour, and a sound of falling waters. 1 was arrayed tt flannel fiock, such as the colliers all wear, lent nie by a Tit-boy, and a round crowned hnt without bum, well slufleu *"h hay.

Anon, I looked Iolhe daylight appeared only a small, circular, intense speck, lk« » star above me and presently I heard below, human VD,ces sounding deeply like echoes. To my vast delight, we felt the solid ground beneath us. A collier unhooked my P'oteetor from lns ehain, and vve stood at the entrance of a re- °f darkness. nj.«• a wild, gloomy, and s'range scene A black cavern I 'tnmense extent was" before me, shown by a few glimmering "Bin*. Wc went on a good way, when suddenly I saw two TlT* burning, one on the right, the othet on the ltli. "ese wert? »he lights by which the colliers were at work geltinj. The face of the coal where they work, they call a <^ne is the deep benk," the other is a basset nt'nk." Here the poor fellows sit on the ground, with their ntrp pirks, undermining a certain quantity of the coil mea- "■uied and marked out with chalk, or in their language—holding •j stint. I hen comes the hammcr-man with his hammer, and riving his wedge in above, down conics the mass of eoal, and ey load it on the canf and garlands, and a little pony draws J' along a little railway lo the pit-mouth, where it is dinwn up 0r "sc. As the poor fellows clear away the coal, they prop the r°«>l up with pieces of wood, called punchcons, or the earth *ho»c them would fall in and bury tliem and this it some- lr,ics docs in spite of all their care, and they are crushed to or arc left alive beneath the immense mass, to perish of ar>iine before their friends can dig them out. In this black and dreary region, and in this way, are the ^als procured that make our parlours so bright and warm, and 'at cook all the good things in the kitchen. In these under- I °"nd regions they have ponies and asses that do not see day- ^or years and they have stables for them made of coal, •hat is more odd, they have abundance of rats too; and no- '<xly knows well how they get there. The colliers think they '"n down the ropes, but I think they fall in during the night, IIn,1 their bodies being light and soft, and falling in the water at the bottom, they escape being killed. There lliey are, how- ser, and so ravenous that the colliers are obliged to keep their provisions and their candles, and corn for their ponies, all in iron chests,or thev would quickly devour them. They will eat through a Wooden box several inches thick, in a few minutes, with theii loog sharp teeth, so that there is no chance of keeping anything datable, but in iron. They keep cats too but in spile of all "•is, you would laugh to see a troop of rats come, while the <0"i*rs are holing, and run, and jump at the lighted candlts y which they are working, which lliey stick with a bit of clay 10 the face of the coal, and will snatch them down, and scani- f\t-r away in different directions with tlicin burning in their I!lO',llhs.
