Extract from the "Times" of the 28th July.

IRISH GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

"TO THE EDITOR OF THE 'TIMES.'

"Sir,-In your yesterday's number you have been pleased to single me out, and to comment in no very gracious or flattering terms upon my connection with the Irish Great Western Railway Company and the borough of Abingdon. I cannot, however, doubt that your feelings of even-handed justice will prompt you to grant me such a space in the columns of your journal as will suffice to let the public know, if they will take the trouble to be informed, the real circumstances of my connection with the Dublin and Galway Company and the Abingdon borough. They are, Sir, succinctly as follows:

"In the month of October, 1844, I received a letter from Mr. Peter M'Keogh, a most respectable solicitor in Dublin, and land agent to several of the nobility and gentry of Ireland, forwarding a prospectus of the proposed line from Dublin to Galway, bearing the names of the Marquis of Downshire, Lord Crofton, Lord De Freyne, Mr. French, M.P., and many other noblemen and gentlemen, and requesting to be informed if I would join the undertaking. To this I replied, that I had long considered that a rail. way from Dublin to Galway, there being one from Dublin to Drogheda, would prove a national benefit, inasmuch as it would open the western districts of the country, and the port of Galway, situate on the noble bay on the Atlantic, and accelerate communication and commercial transactions with Liverpool and the metropolis of this great nation. Subsequent to the communication from Mr. M'Keogh, which I have just noticed, I received copies of the resolutions of several most respectably attended meetings in the various public places through which it was proposed the line should run, attested by the names of Lords Clancarty, Gort, Altamont, Oranmore, the Bishop of Elphin, a variety of hon. members of Parliament, clergymen, and country gentlemen, together with a petition from the high sheriff, gentry, and freeholders, of the county of Galway, which served to create the most perfect belief that the Irish Great Western Rail. way was desired and advocated by such a class in the country as could not admit of a doubt being entertained of its importance, ultimate success, and public utility. Under the influence of this conviction, established upon the most irresistible evidence, I became a member of the provisional board established in London to superintend the affairs of the company, and in the capacity of a director I gave such time and attendance as I was enabled to spare from other avocations. In the beginning of November, a meeting of gentlemen took place in the house of Mr. Lambert, our solicitor, in Langham-place, to arrange the preliminary measures connected with the immediate embodying of the proposed company, and the preparation of the parliamentary deed. At this meeting I met Sir William Young, the Hon. Mr. O'Callaghan, and several other gentlemen. Shortly after this, the London Provisional Board of Directors was constituted, with Sir William Young as its chairman, whom I succeeded, as his health would not permit of his attending to the duty.

"At the period when it was necessary to make an allotment of the shares, I was not aware that it was usual to require references from applicants for allotments, respectable brokers having been appointed to examine and report as to the respectability of persons from whom applications might be received. At this stage of the proceedings I was prevented by the dangerous illness of a child from giving that attention to the affairs of the company which, under other circumstances, I should have considered it my duty to have given. Although absent myself during the greater part of the day upon which the allotment was made, I know that there were present on that occasion two of the directors, and that each allotment was marked by the initials of one of those gentlemen. Further than this I cannot speak from personal knowledge.

"With reference to the circumstances that led to the directors and other gentlemen connected with the company having more shares than the regulations required, they are simply as follows:-A large number of shares having been left in the hands of the company, in consequence of certain applicants failing to pay the required deposit and sign the parliamentary contract, and the time pressing for the completion of the arrangement necessary to enable our proceeding with our bill, the directors, with other gentlemen in whom confidence was placed, agreed to take the number of shares required to complete the contract. In this manner I became possessed of 500 shares at par, and paid the deposit thereon, at a time when they were at a discount of 7s. 6d. per share in the market.

"An arrangement having been subsequently completed with the Dublin and Cashel Company to take 100,0001. of our stock, a demand for Dublin and Galway shares was the consequence, and I availed myself of it to dispose of the shares, which I never contemplated retaining, and which were taken merely to contribute my aid in passing our Bill. How far the company merits the censure which has been cast upon it, those who read this plain narration of facts will be enabled to judge. If a fraud has been practised upon the public and upon Parliament by unprincipled speculators, it has been equally practised upon the Dublin and Galway Company, and I doubt not but that if the share lists of the successful railway companies in this country had been submitted, in their course through Parliament, to the test by which the Dublin and Galway Company share-list has been tried, they would have exhibited similar results. Touching the opposition which has been made to the passing of the Dublin and Galway Railway Bill, I do not feel called upon in this place to make any observation, as there can be no doubt but that the public will be made acquainted with the whole of the proceedings by a more able narrator than myself.

"I hope, Sir, that having received this statement of facts, the "Times," from a regard of truth, justice, and honour, will cease to lend its talents and influence to aid the defeat of what is confessedly admitted by public opinion to be a work of national importance, calculated to promote civilization, the invariable concomitant of well-directed labour.

"Permit me, Sir, in conclusion, to say a few words regarding my connection with the borough of Abingdon, which has seemingly been the real cause of your flattering notice of myself. Know then, Sir, that I was invited to stand for that borough by what I had every reason to conclude would prove a majority of the electors. The result of the contest evinced that, although beaten by circumstances which the experience of the "Times" can well understand, I had legitimate grounds for coming forward, not as the advocate of party views, but of political freedom and the constitutional rights of Englishmen; and I have the best reasons for knowing that my conduct during that brief struggle was, and still is, approved by those best able to appreciate it.

"I now, Sir, beg leave to offer for your acceptance the expression of my best thanks for having thus constrained me to set myself right with the public through the medium of the press, which, with all its faults, I love, as being the palladium of our most sacred and valuable rights.

PNEUMATIC SAFETY ENEMA,

manufactured solely by PHILP & WHICKER (late Savigny & Co.), 67, St. James's-street, London. Philp & Whicker take the liberty of soliciting the attention of the nobility, geutry, and medical profession, to the following description of their Patent Pneumatic Syringe, feeling assured that the long standing of their house, and the respectable manner they have always endeavoured to conduct their bu siness, will be a sufficient guarantee that they would not bring such an article before the public unless they were fully satisfied of its real merit and the general approval of the faculty.

The superiority of aqueous injections gently ad-
ministered over every other means of relieving the
bowels, has been for a long time universally acknow-
ledged by the faculty, but owing to
The complicated nature of instruments hitherto
used for this purpose,

The trouble attending their application,
The inconveniences and occasional ill-effects con-
sequent upon their mal-application, and
Their extreme liability to get out of order, have
caused the indiscriminate use of aperient medi-
cines.

pipe, no fluid can pass through it, therefore no The pump being quite distinct from the injecting clogging or corrosion can take place.

The instrument is thus at all times clean, in perfect order, and fit for immediate use.

When worked with a moderate force, according to the directions given, it injects the fluid in an uninterrupted and well-sustained stream, free from all violence; but should occasion require it, the force can be increased.

From the facts that no air can pass with the fluid injected and that no fluid can by possibility escape from the apparatus, it admits of being used in almost any position, and is therefore of the greatest advantage and comfort to those who may require the administration of an Enema during an illness, or who may be otherwise confined to their beds; and, from the construction of the instrument, no undue force can be applied during its application, even by those who may be careless or ignorant of the illeffects but too frequently occurring from the use of the common Enema Syringe.

MEEN FUN, OF CELESTIAL SKIN POWDER,

--

a truly wonderful cosmetique, which has for centuries been in constant use among the Chinese, possessing properties of a character unparalleled. Its application entirely counteracts those disagreeable appearances to which delicate skins are subject, more especially at this season of the year; it allays and averts discolouration and coarseness, at the same time rendering the skin beautifully white, smooth, and soft. The component parts are so perfectly harmless and simple in themselves, that those with the most delicate complexion may apply with safety.-Sold retail by all Perfumers and Chemists, in boxes, price 38. 6d. and 7s. 6d. each; and wholesale by the sole Proprietors, FABIAN & Co. (late Watson, Fabian, & Co.), 24, Mark Lane, London, without whose signature on the labels rone are genuine.
