PREFACE.

That the want' of an " AYRSHmE Directory " lias long been felt in Law-Courts, Banks, Public Oinces among Factors, Professional Gentlemen, xlgents, Inn- keepers, Mercbants, and Dealers througbout the

County—as well as by Strangers, and Professional and

Mercantile Houses in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool,

London, and other Cities having intercourse with Ayr-

shire, has been already fully proved by the numerous

Subscribers to this Publication.

Its compilation has been attended with much more

labour and expense than those unacquainted with its

details might suppose—the Lists for the Forty- six

Parishes having been prepared, and at a later date

revised, in each Parish.

The Parishes are arranged alphabetically. PREFACE.

The diiSculties attending a first attempt at present- ing so very full a List of the Inhabitants of a whole

County, are pleaded in excuse of any inaccuracies that may be discovered.

The indication of the Voters, though attempted carefully, had better, perhaps, in the present edition have been omitted, as the Official Registers from which they are taken have never since the passing of the Reform

Bill been purged of " dead," and "absent"; while at the date when consulted, this year's Electors had not been added.

Prefixed to the Directory are Fifty-eight pages of

County Statistics, Interest Tables, and other information valuable for reference; and Seventy pages of

Advertisements are annexed.

There is no limit to the weight of paid letters, but unpaid, letters must not exceed 4 oz., unless for the public departments, and no inland letter must exceed 24 inches in length. Stamps may be used to pay the postage on foreign, colonial, and ship-letters, as well as on inland letters, but, in using stamps care must be taken that a sufficient number are put on the letter to cover the postage, as inland letters insufficiently stamped

are charged double the deficiency ; and those for abroad are liable to be detained, where the prepayment is compulsory, or sent forward charged with the deficiency. Letters must either be paid wholly in stamps or in money. Stamps should be placed on the right hand corner of the letter, and care must be taken to see that they adhere. Redirected Lettkrs are liable to new rates of postage, but though the new postage should not be paid on the reposting of the letter, it will be charged only the prepaid rate on delivery.

Late Letters, posted at the provincial offices, must be paid by attaching the requisite number of postage stamps tor the postage as well as for the late letter fee, and are in time if put into the Late Letter Box 15 miuutes after the closing of the box, with an additional penny stamp affixed, and with three addi- XXV tional stamps they are in time till 10 minutes before the despatch of each mail. Letters, when once posted, cannot be given back upon any pretence whatever, but must be forwarded to the person to whom they are addressed. Letters containing articles of a perishable or dangerous nature will be detained as soon as discovered. Letters to warm climates should be wafered, not sealed, as the wax is liable to be melted, to the injury of the other letters. Money Orders.—An order from any one Post-office on any other, for any sum not exceeding £2, may be obtained for 3d., and for a sura between that and £5, for dd. A money order must be presented for payment before the end of the second calendar month after that in which it was issued, otherwise a new order will be necessary, for which a second commission

must be paid ; and if not presented before the end of the twelfth month, the money will not be paid at all. Registration.—Any letter can be registered on payment of a registration fee of 6d. The postage must be prepaid in stamps, except the letter is going abroad, when it may be prepaid in money or stamps, but the registration fee of 6d. is in all cases to be paid in money. Registered letters to France are charged double the French rate of postage, in addition to the

6 d registration fee ; and to Prussia, an additional charge of 3d is made; letters to other foreign countries and the colonies cannot be registered farther than the port of despatch. Regis- tered letters must be posted half an hour before the time of the box closing for other letters.

AYESHIRE

Ayrshire is in extent 56 miles in length, by 26 in breadth, containing 1600 square miles, divided into 46 Parishes. The

Population in 1831 was 145,055 ; in 1841, 164,356 ; and in 1851, 189,210. The Parliamentary Constituency is about 4,300, being the largest in Scotland. It is divided into three districts—Bailiaries, vphose separate jurisdictions were annulled, by statute, in 1748—Cuninghame, north ; Kyle, in the centre ; and Carrick, south. Renfrewshire bounds Ayrshire on the north, from Largs to Loudoun Parishes : the Counties of Lanark and Dumfries on the east, from Loudoun to the southernmost point of the Parish of New Cumnock : the Stewartry of Kirkcubright thence on the south to the S.E. point of Colmonell : and Wigtownshire on the south to the sea. The west side of Ayrshire, which forms a crescent, about 75 miles long, is bounded by the Firth of Clyde. Irvine Water separates

Cuninghame from Kyle ; and the River Doon Kyle from Carrick. Ayrshire, which among the Counties of Scotland ranks next to Aberdeenshire in population, has acquired no small portion of its' widely-spread fame as the land of Bruce, Wallace, and Burns. Of late years, it has risen greatly in importance, from the rapid increase of its manufactures and shipping, its improvements in agriculture, and the valuable fields of iron and lead, with which in addition to coal and lime, it abounds. The number of contested elections in Ayrshire, since 1832, has also been a mean of bringing it from time to time under the eye of the nation. It is made prominent every five years by the Caledonian

Hunt at Ayr ; annually by the Western Meeting at Ayr, in September or October ; and by the Eglinton Park Meetings at Irvine. Perhaps in this enumeration we ought not to omit mention of the Eglinton Tournament in September, 1839, which we can well believe attracted thousands of strangers to Ayrshire who otherwise might never have made the pilgrimage. The formation of the Glasgow and Ayrshire Railway has also exercis- ed a powerful influence in giving prominence to Ayrshire ; and now that the Glasgow, Dumfries, & Carlisle Railway is opened, a communication from the South is established, the importance of which is daily becoming more appreciated, while the traffic at the Port of Ayr, and other harbours along the coast, will be vastly increased, as they afford ready outlets for the inexhaus- tible mineral resourses of the rich districts through which it i» proposed that the projected line shall pass. —

AYR.

Ayr, the County Town, and a Royal Burgh, obtained its Charter from William the Lion, about the year 1206. The River Ayr divides it from Newton and Wallacetown. Ayr proper contains only about 10,000 inhabitants; but, in speaking of its Popu- lation it is generally taken in conjunction with Newton and Wallacetown, shewing an aggregate of about 22,000. In the Charter of erection the name of the Town, derived evidently from that of the River, is written Ar, with a dash through the r—indicating the true orthography Are. The corruption of introducing i first occurs in the records of the neighbouring Burgh of Prestwick, where the word is written Aire. In the old records of the burgh of Ayr, we find, for several years, Ayre, latterly superseded by Aire. In the iSth Century the e was dropped, and in process of time the i gave place to y, and the present spelling Ayr is now almost universal. Partaking more of the Professional than Commercial character—with a Seminary long famed for the Education of youth—a fine climate—situate in a bay, said to be second only to that of Naples— a beautiful Sea beach—moderate rents—excellent Hotels—famous for its Races—the returning Parliamentary Burgh of the District— Circuit Station of the Justiciary Court—a Synod and Presby- tery Seat—with every grade of Society from the peer to the peasant, within its bounds—and with the Scenery in its neighbourhood, immortalized by Burns—it has for a great many years been a favourite resort for families, and individuals having

the charge of youth; for Invalids ; for Gentlemen of the Naval 1

and Military Professions ; for natives who have amassed wealth abroad, and for others who have been fortunate enough to be able to retire from business at home. If Ayr had attractions of old, these have been greatly increased of late. Indeed, we may safely assert, that no town in Scotland, of the same extent, has, within the last few years, undergone so much improvement in every respect. Elegant and costly public and private Build- ings have been erected in the Town—the Vicinity has been studded with handsome villas—the improvement of the Harbour has been attended with a great increase of Shipping—we have one Carpet Manufactory, where employment is given to. about 200 of the Operative classes—the Town and neighbourhood are well lighted with gas by two Companies—one spirited Company has supplied the Town with water—and another has erected Public Baths—and the Glasgow and Ayrshire Hallway has brought us, if we may use the expression, within a couple of hours of the Western Metropolis, while the South-Western line has regularly opened up a communication from Ayr, by Dum- fries, to England, of which we have only yet begun to experience the advantage. THE RIVER AYR AND " THE TWA BRIGS." Arrived at the Railway Station at Ayr, the object nearest the Traveller, is the River Ayr, about thirty miles long, the source of which is on the border of the County, at the eastern extremity of the parish of Muirkirk. Its course, after it leaves the hills, is remarkable for richness and variety of scenery. It abounds with trout, and yielded salmon plentifully, till the erection, in 1700, of a high dam-dyke at the Town's Mills obstructed their passage up the river. About fifty yards from the Station, is the New Bridge, and about 200 yards up the river the " Auld Brig," which boasted it would be in existence when its more

modern neighbour was "a cairn o' stanes" : and very nearly,

had the taunt proved true ; as the New Bridge having become too narrow for the convenience of the Public, the Com- missioners obtained an Act of Parliament to widen it, which was accordingly done in 1840. This Bridge was built in 1778, and cost about £4000. The old bridge was built in the reign of Alexander III (1249-1285), by Isobel Lowe and her sister, two maiden ladies, who, tradition states, spent their fortunes on the undertaking. In this they are said to have been actuated by the philanthropic desire to prevent the loss of life to the inhabitants occasionally sustained from crossing by a ford about 200 yards up the river. town's buildings— OLD AND NEW; Fronting the visiter, as he crosses the bridge to Ayr, is Sand- gate Street, in the centre of which, till 1825, stood the Town's Buildings, consisting of Council Room, Jail, and Steeple. At the date above mentioned they were removed to allow the inhS" bitants the use of the street, at its full width ; and at the corner site near the Malt Cross other buildings more elegant and commodious were erected, with a Steeple the highest we believe in Scotland, being about 226 feet. The buildings, which are in the Grecian style, and of the composite order, were designed by Mr Hamilton, architect, Edinburgh, were founded on 28tll March, 1828, and cost about £10,000. Though the situation is low, the spire can be seen for many miles around Ayr. The public rooms consist of a spacious News Room, well furnished with newspapers and periodicals, a Ball Eoom, 47| feet long by 26^ broad, and ante-rooms to each, so constructed that the whole can be thrown into one suite of apartments. The Spire, which is a great ornament to the town, was struck by lightning in the winter of 1835, which dislodged two stones near its summit, but fortunately did no farther damage. The injured spot was repaired in the following summer. The bell in the spire, weight 22 cwt., which is remarkable for its fine tone, is heard at a great distance. WELLINGTON SQUARE, AND COUNTY BUILDINGS. Wellington Square, which usually attracts the attention of strangers, is of modern formation. The houses, in many instances, are occupied by the proprietors, and where otherwise, rents range from £40 to £70. The feu paid to the town is 3s. per fall on the South side, and 6s. on the North. The North- west side of the Square is formed by the County Buildings,

These are the most extensive buildings in Ayrshire ; containing Court-house, County Hall, or Assembly Room, and commodious chambers for officials connected with the Law Courts and Burgh. There are in the County Hall portraits of the late Earl of Eglinton, Lord-Lieutenant of the County, in the costume of

Colonel of the Lowland Eencibles ; of his Lordship's brother- in-law, the late John Hamilton of Sundrura (grandfather of the present proprietor of Sundrum), and for forty years Convener

of the County ; and of the late venerable Earl of Glasgow, Lord-Lieutenant of Ayrshire. In the rear, enclosed by a high wall, is the Prison, where the new system of discipline has been very successfully introduced. The buildings were finished in

1822, and cost upwards of £30,000 ; and they are now being enlarged by an extensive addition to the Prison. WALLACE TOWER. This Gothic building on High Street, seen from a considerable distance, from the summit of which a fine view is obtained, was finished in 1832. It was designed by Mr. Hamilton, and cost about £1400. It stands on the site of an old tower, taken down in 1830, of which the public records bear no account, but which has always been associated with the name of Sir William lii

Wallace. A statue of the renowned chief, cut by Thorn, the famed sculptor of " Tam o' Shanter and Souter Johnny," occu- pies a niche in front of the new edifice. The Scottish patriot is represented, not in warlike attitude, but in a thoughtful mood, as if musing on the wrongs of his country. The attitude and outline have been censured by some critics, and praised by others; but the workmanship has, at all hands, been held to be exquisite. The cost of the statue was 120 guineas, and the money was subscribed in a fortnight, chiefly through the exertions of Mr Auld, Doonbrae Cottage (Thorn's chief patron). A figure of less pretension and rather dwarfish, cut by Mr Reid of Glasgow, was placed in a niche in the gable of the corner house, east end of Newmarket Street, in 1810, by Henry Cowan, Esq. Mr Cowan put up this statue to replace an old representation of the head of Wallace in the same situation, which had fallen into decay. This effigy was originally erected there to commemorate the sheltering of Wallace from his enemies under that roof.

THE FORT, ST. JOHN'S CHURCH, &C. Passing from Wellington Square towards the river, the visiter casts his eye upon an old Tower to his left, in a pasture- field of 18 acres. The Tower is a venerable relict of the Burgh or Parish Church, founded in the twelfth century, and dedicated to St. John the Baptist. The church itself was built in the form of a cross ; and, at the eastern end of the transept, had an elegant and richly-ornamented Gothic window. In 1560, it fell into the hands of the Reformed Clergy, of whom was the Rev. John Welsh, of much respected memory, son-in-law of John Knox, the Reformer. In 1652 Oliver Cromwell, coveting the situation of the ground around the Church, protected on the north-west by the river Doon, which then (as elsewhere ex- plained) flowed close past it, and on the south-west by the sea, which has since greatly receded—took possession of it, turning the church into an armoury, and erecting around it a strong fortified citadel. The ground plan is in the form of a hexagon, but the figures are irregular. The main bastion, occupying the north-eastern angle, close upon the harbour, and next the town, has a commanding position, and is supposed to occupy the site of the ancient palace and castle of Ayr, built by William the Lion. The tower had originally two triangular gables, which the St. John's Lodge of Freemasons in Ayr removed, substitu- ting the present turrets. This spacious enclosure belongs to the Marquis of Ailsa, and of late years has been advertised for sale. Some public spirited individuals have suggested the idea of purchasing it, and laying it out as public walks and gardens to ornament the town, and afford a place of recreation and amusement for the inhabitants ; and it has been thought that . liii

the expense of its cultivation might be defrayed by the sale of annual tickets for families, and by a small charge for admission to Promenades, Soirees, and Musical Entertainments, in the summer evenings. BURGH OR PARISH CHURCH OF AYR. Cromwell, though not very ceremonious in the acquisition of St. John's Church and grounds, made some compensation to the Burgh in money (£160), which aided in the erection of the present Old Church of Ayr, on the site of the Franciscan monas-

tery, founded by the Bishop of St. Andrews ; the only trace of which, at the present day, is in the name of a spring called the Friars' Well, which issues from the wall of the Old Church- yard, into the river Ayr. The galleries, and for the most part the seats of the Old Church, are those placed in it when origin-

ally erected in 1654 ; but it has been recently repaired, heated with water pipes, lighted with gas, and made otherwise very comfortable. The floor is yet, however, below the level of the graves outside. Ayr has been a collegiate charge since the days of Queen

Mary ; and on its junction with Alloway, about the end of the 17 th century, the stipend, £32, was divided equally between the two ministers of Ayr. The stipend of the first charge, held by the Rev. Dr. x\uld, is 8| chalders, half meal and half here, and one chalder for Communion Elements, with the half of the £32 from Allowav, already mentioned, and the half of the interest of £1,000 bequeathed to the two Ayr ministers, by John Fergusson, Esq., of Doonholm. To this charge is also attached a handsome manse with glebe, situate in the suburLs, on the Dalmellington road. NEW CHURCH. The church of the second charge— a modern building, is situate close to the entrance to the Fort. The Rev. Alexander Cuthill, minister of the second charge, accepted as his assistant and successor, the Rev. \Tilliam Shaw, formerly in Bonhill, whose emoluments are secured by arrangement entered into between tlie Rev. Mr Cuthill and the Patrons, the Magistrates, and Kirk Session. The stipend of the second minister consists partly of the old stipend of the second charge—of a sum from the Exchequer— of an allowance from the Magistrates for extra service —of the half of the interest of Mr Fergusson's donation of £1,000, and of £46 13s 4d in lieu of a manse and glebe. MONASTERIES.

Besides the Monastery already alluded to, of the Order of St. Francis, or Grey Friars, founded by the inhabitants of Ayr, in 1472, on the site of which the Old Church of Ayr stands, there was, in the same vicinity, near Mill Street, a Monastery of Do- llT aainicans^or Black Friars, the first of that order established in Scotland, founded by the Bishop of St. Andrews, in 1230. The charter granted by Alexander II. was dated at Forfar, in 1242, and confirmed by Robert Bruce at Girvan, in the 33d year of his reign. The ruins of both these religious establishments have BOW disappeared. MALT CROSS.

The Malt Cross of Ayr, where all proclamations were made^ stood opposite Dr. Whiteside's property, where New-Bridge Street meets High Street. It was removed when the New Bridge was built in 1778. Coins of Charles II., found at ita base, indicate its having been erected during his reign. Here Maggie Osburne, " the Ayrshire Witch "— a young woman said to have possessed considerable personal charms, and some property, and who lived in that house, now No. 76, High Street, aearly opposite the Fish Cross, suffered about the end of the 16th century. Being eccentric, she was suspected to be in league with Satan — chiefly in reference to having built her house in a very expeditious manner— and was tried, condemned, and burned at the Stake, on a mound at the west end of the Town's Low Green. This, fortunately, was the last scene of the kind witnessed in Scotland. In England the penal statutes against witchcraft were not abrogated by the legislature till the middle

of the 18th century, about the year 1752 ; and it is a singular coincidence, that the last victim in England was also a female,, named " Osbourne ;" an aged pauper, who was killed by a mob in Staffordshire, in 1750. Her husband narrowly escaped with his life. Barrington estimates the number of persons put tO'

death in England on the charge of witchcraft, at 30,000 !

HARBOUR OF AYR.

The Harbour of Ayr, like all others formed at the mouths of rivers, is not easily kept deep, from the alluvial matter brought down during the floods, and deposited at its bar. This draw-back has been, in great part, removed within the last few years, by walls on either side, a breakwater thrown across the north side of the river, and the operations of a Steam Dredge,andDivingBel], The chief woi'ks at the Harbour are Messrs Sloan and Gemmell's Patent Slip ;;nd Building Yard, on the north side, and Mr Paton's Patent Saw Mills, Bone Mill, and Stone Sawing Ap- paratus, &c., on the south. A very suitable new Light'iouse has lately been erected, on the North side of the river, which, from its height and the brilliancy of its gas-lights, affords a certain guide to mariners. From the point of the South Pier, there is a fine view of the Bay of Ayr, stretching from the

Kyles of Bute to the Heads of Ayr ; and in very clear weather the north-east coast of Ireland may be discerned.

NEWTON AND WALLACETOWN

Are divided from the town of Ayr proper, by the river Ayr. The latest burgh charters of Newton bear date 1595 and 1600, but refer to older charters that have not been preserved. Tra- dition assigns the original charter to the year 1315, as having been then granted by King Robert the Bruce. The land was originally divided equally amoog 48 freemen (10 or 12 acres each), subject to periodical allotment every ele\en, and later, de- every seven years ; but, in January 1829, the holdings were clared by agreement to be 999 years, so as to encourage the improvement of the land. Newton has a jurisdiction separate from that of Ayr. Wallacetown, though a quoad sacra parish, is in the parish of St. Evox. It is not embraced within the jurisdiction of either Ayr or Newton, and has no local magistrates or police. A large proportion of the population are coal miners or weavers. Inde- pendent of its anomalous position, its buildings have been much improved of late, particularly fronting the river Ayr. THE PARISH OF ST. EVOX,

Which includes Wallacetown, lies NE. of Ayr. Population— since 1831, In 1831, 5348 ; 1841, 6055 ; 1851, 7146. Increase 1798. JExtent—The parish contains 5000 acres, and is five miles long, and three broad. Boundaries—It is bounded on the west, south by the river Ayr ; and on the east, north, and by the parishes of Tarbolton, Monkton, and Newton. Character- la 1831, the agricultural population was 1071, Wallacetown and Content containing 4277 souls. The inhabitants of the two latter places, and of Whitletts, belong chiefly to the poorer class of Irish settlers, and are employed as colliers, labourers, and weavers by Glasgow and Paisley houses. There are also a num= -

Iviii

"ber of artisans, carters, publicans, and shop-keepers, with an undue proportion of strangers frona Ireland, who keep lodging- houses, or have means of subsistence equally precarious. Hus- bandry is in a flourishing state, and the land is in possession of an intelligent and industrious tenantry. There are several excellent freestone quarries in the parish. Markets, ^c.—Ayr serves as a convenient market town, whose Fairs are common to Newton and St. Evox parishes.

f Irvine— Town distant 12 miles from Ayr, and 7 miles from Kilmarnock.!

Irvine, which is a Eoyal Burgh, lies 3 miles from Kilwinning, which bounds it on the west ; 7 miles north-west of Kilmarnock ; and 12 miles north of Ayr. Boundaries—On the east and south- east it is divided from the parish of Dreghorn by the river

Annick ; on the west it is bounded by the Garnock, which divides it from Kilwinning ; on the south by the river Irvine, which separates it from Dundonald parish ; and on the north by the parish of Stewarton. Extent—The land in the parish of Irvine extends to 2914 acres of arable, and 3673 acres of wood. The parish is upwards of 4 miles in length, and where its width is greatest it is nearly two miles broad. Population— In 1831, 5200; 1841,5214; 1851, 5665. Increase since 1831, 465. Character—Agriculture is prosecuted in the parish, and upwards of a hundred of the population, male and female, are engaged in the cultivation of the soil. The townspeople, including the inhabitants of Fullarton (which is joined with Ir- vine in the Parliamentary Burgh), are chiefly employed in handloom weaving—the work being supplied to a great extent by Glasgow and Paisley houses. The females are principally occupied in hand-sewing. Many of the inhabitants of Irvine are people who have retired from business, or from the naval and military services. Being the capital of a rich agricultural district, and itself the most ancient of the Western ports, it is the seat of considerable business. The Academy has earned a well merited celebrity as an educational institution, and the teachers are, to a certain extent, salaried from the funds of the burgh. This forms one of the inducements for respectable families from a distance settling down in the locality. Markets, Sfc.—The fol- iowing fairs are held in Irvine:—January, horses, 1st Wednes- day; May, cattle, 1st Tuesday; July, horses and cattle, Wed- nesday before Ayr ; August, lint and wool, 3d Monday—horses, Wednesday after.

(Kilmarnock—distant 12 miles from Ayr.)

Kilmarnock is situated on the banks of the water of the same; name, a short distance above its union with the river Irvine. It is the most populous and most rapidly-increasing town in Ayrshire. The name is derived from St. Mernock or Mar- nock, who lived about the beginning of the fourth century, but of whom nothing is known. It does not appear in public documents till the fourteenth century, when it is mentioned in connexion with the Boyds of Dean : and even then Kilmarnock appears to have been a place of little note, the name being applied apparently to a tract of land rather than to a particular place. In fact, Kilmarnock was a mere hamlet in the days of James VI., its people entirely dependent upon their feudal superiors—the lords of the neighbouring Dean Castle. The favourable situation of the town, and the rich resources of the district, combined to increase its importance. In 1591, James YL constituted Kilmarnock a free burgh of barony, Charles IL confirming the constitution in 1672, In earlier times the population were principally employed in manufactur- " ing " braid bonnets and " cowls." This trade flourished till the middle of the eighteenth century, when the weaving of carpets became the chief business of the place. Tlie trades of the town at this time received several accessions, and the busy village became busier than ever. The extinction of the feudal domi- nation of the Boyds, by whom the burgh had been kept in subjection, and its sources of wealth contracted ; the formation of good roads ; and the Union, produced a vast and acceptable change. The opening of the present century saw m&ny improvements effected in Kilmarnock. Calico printing was introduced, Handloom weaving assumed a more prominent position among the local trades. Greater facilities of conveyance did much to extend the general business of the town. A tramway was formed to the seaport of Troon—the first of the kind constructed in Scotland ; new buildings were erected; the streets, formerly narrow, were widened—famed for their irre- gularity in former days, they were made more uniform—and otherwise ext^ended and improved. The breadth of the town scarcely corresponds with its length ; nevertheless it has a fine appearance, favoured by its position in a fertile basin, shel- tered by softlj'^-ascending uplands. Kilmarnock claims to be the commercial capital of the county, and is to Ayr what Glas- gow is to Edinburgh—the one the seat of fashion, learning, and law; the other the busy scene of manufactures and commer- KILMARNOCK. 231

cial traffic. Kilmarnock and its trade have steadily increased of late years. In 1840 it was connected by railway with Glasgow, Paisley, and the harbours on tiie West coast. Daring the last ten years, we have witnessed the Iron Way intersecting the entire district—passing up, the fertile valley of the Irvine, studded with busy villages ; prosecuting its course to the classic braes of the Ayr and Lugar ; penetrating the rich mineral districts around Cumnock and Muirkirk ; sup- planting the antiquated tramway to Troon ; extending the Glasgow and South- Western to Carlisle; and thus making Kilmarnock one of the chief links in the chain connecting the West Country with England. Kilmarnock is improving, too, in he.r educational, musical, and literary institutions.

Population of Kilmarnock in 1792—6776 1831—18,093 1841—19,956 1851—21,281 This burgh, with Rutherglen, Port-Glasgow, and Dumbar- ton, returns one member to Parliament. Kilmarnock is the returning Burgh. The Hon. E. P. Bouverie, M.P.

COUNTY VOTER NOT RESIDENT IN AYRSHIRE.

Craufurd, John Reginald Houison (c), yr. of Craufurdland R I CC ARTO N.

[Riecartoa village—distant 11 miles from Ayr, and 1 mile from Kilmarnock.]

EicoARTON is divided from the town of Kilmarnock by the rirer Irvine. Population— In 1831, 2499; 1841, 3226; 1851, 4582. Increase since 1831, 2083. Extent—The length of the parish, from east to west, is about 8 miles, and its greatest breadth about 3 miles. Boundaries—It is bounded on the north b> the river Irvine, which separates it from Kilmarnock ; on the south by Craigie, Mauchline, and Galston ; on the east by Dundonald. Galston ; and on the west by Symington and Character—In 1831, with a population of 2499, 193 males were engaged in agriculture, and 283 in handicrafts and in retail trade. The parish is rich in coal, and to the opening of new pits and iron-works may be attributed the increase in the population. The Caprington coal is in great repute for household use.

THE abundant encouragement awarded to S. WOOLFIELD in the manufacture of Silver Fitted Dressing Cases has induced him to augment his Stock to an extent quite unsurpassed, except in a few of the West End shops of London, (where extravagant prices are necessarily exacted.) Established as a Maker of these articles for nearly half a century, his reputation has not been gained without warrant, for each successive year has exhibited the improvement which naturally comes from enlarged experience and stability of position, and his Dressing Cases are now as perfect specimens of their class as it is within the power of human industry to accomplish. Their distinguishing charac- teristic is great strength and solidity — not designed for mere appearance, but for practical utility and lasting durability. As travelling necessaries they are incontestibly superior to all others, the fittings being so arranged and classified that any desired article is immediately available, while they are furnished to an extent that meets every possible exigency. An additional recommendation is their impregnable locks, and improved mor- ticed partitions, aff'ording protection and security from break-

age ; and all springs and intricate mechanism are carefully avoided, being always liable to damage by change of climate, &c. In the all important matter of price, S. Woolfield's Dressing Cases, being economically manufactured in his own Workshops, will naturally suggest a condition both favourable to excellence and cheapness. For MARRIAG E PRESENTS especially, they

are an elegant and becoming gift ; the great variety always in Stock affording almost unlimited choice at all prices, from Five to Fifty Guineas. ^*^ Dressing Cases, Writing Desks, and Work Boxes rtf- paired, new lined, modernized, and made useful, at very moderate prices. In addition to the very superior assortment of DRESSING CASES, WORK-BOXES, WRITING-DESKS, WORK-TA- BLES, TEA-CHESTS, and BAGATELLE BOARDS, manu- actured on his own Premises, S. Woolfield imports largely from the great Continental manufactories every meritorious production in BOHEMIAN GLASS ORNAMENTS, ITALIAN ALABASTER, FRENCH CHINA and CLOCKS, BERLIN

IRON and BROISZES ; and his Stock of PAPIER MA CHE and GENERAL FANCY GOODS is at all times unsurpassed out of ths metropolis.

Its extraordinary durability, and Waterproof properties, combined with the easiness of its application, render it one of the most useful materials. The public generally, and heads of families in particular, should all learn how to use it—the saving would be immense, besides the advantage of having their families preserved from the most prolific cause of disease, viz., cold and damp feet.

THESE TABLETS are as convenient and efficacious a remedy as can be employed for the removal of coughs. During the last fifteen years they have enjoyed a rapidly increasing sale, so that they now possess a wide celebrity. To those who are afflicted jvith Difficulty of Breathing, or a redundancy of phlegm, they give speedy relief, by promoting free expectoration. For

Aged Persons, they are almost indispensable ; and no one, whose lungs are in the least degree susceptible of cold, ought to be vithout them. They give immediate and permanent relief in cases of cough, and where there is no physical disorganization, will speedily effect a cure. AFFECTIONS OF THE THKOAT. Many persons suffer much from irritation, caused in the mucous membrane of the trachea and air cells of the lungs by the inhaling of foggy, cold, or damp atmospheres. These membranes are far more tender and sensitive in some persons than in others. Hence, under certain variations from heat, cold, or on the approach of even a slight change in the outward air, a tickling, distressing cough, and difficult respiration are sure to

ensue ; and, if neglected, too often prove fatal, To any person so affected, WQOLLEY'S PECTORAL CANDY, taken for a short time, will prove of eminent service, by strengthening the lungs to resist the effect of sudden changes, by blunting the acrimony of the humours, and by allaying the painful irritation which produces that distressing effort familiarly called coughing. 36 ADVERTISEMENTS.

Woolleifs 'Pectoral Candy—continued.

HOAESENESS. This unpleasant, painful, and dintressing result of catching cold, may, at any time, be removed by taking a few tablets of Woolley's Pectoral Candy. Hence, singers and public epeakers will find them of singular advantage. ASTHMA. This distressing disease of the lungs may be greatly mitigated in its effects by Woolley's Pectoral Candy, while in most cases complete and permanent cures are (very often quickly) produced. In cases of moist Asthma, this candy will at once prevent that soreness which is the result of constant expectoration ; and in dry or nervous Asthma, it promotes that degree of expectoration by which the painful coughing may be greatly prevented. TO THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL. But few persons are aware of the very great importance of checking a cough in its first stage. That which in the beginning would yield to a mild remedy, if neglected, soon preys upon the lungs ; acrid humours increase, and powerful medicines tail to relieve the cough. Here the value of the Pectoral Candy is most apparent. By the use of a few of these convenient tablets, a check is at once given to the progress of the disease. Th© irritation being allayed by their soothing, sedative, and healing influence, and free expectoration being promoted, the various membranes speedily resume their usual tone, and those fatal diseases, of which a slight cough is but too often the forerunner, may be averted. No one ought to be without a remedy that is at once convenient, agreeable, and efficacious, but at the same time perfectly innocent. Another important principle in this candy is, that it may be taken without any fear of disordering

the stomach ; on the contrary, it operates as a tonic, and greatly strengthens the digestive organs. Sold in Boxes at Is. l^d-, and 2s. 9d. each, with full directions for use enclosed.

Out of upwards of 20,000 of their Safes in use amongst the Manufacturing and Commercial Houses in Great Britain the class best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of severe trial in accidental Fires have occurred, from which Thomas Milner and Son select the following as instances, in which they are of opinion that no other Safe than their own would have preserved its contents unburnt. Fire at Mr. J. B. Blackaller's Ship Chandlery Store, Spar-

ling-street, Liverpool ; a strong and fierce Fire ; Safe most

severely burnt outside ; contents unsinged. Fire at Messrs. J. & W. Walkers', the extensive builders,

Birkenhead : buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in them, including the contents of large Iron Safe and Drawers,

standing beside Milners' : the contents of Milners' uninjured, and in use now.

Fire at Messrs. Garniss & Co.'s, Park-lane ; a very strong

Fire ; again the contents of Milners' Safe the only things saved on the premises.

Fire at Plimsaul Brothers, of Plymouth ; a very extensive

and destructive Fire ; a large Iron Safe, covered with brick-

work, with double Iron doors, burnt out ; Milners' entirely pre- serving its contents.

Fire in Queen-street, Glasgow ; a great number of Safes and

Closets burnt out : no books saved throughout the buildings excepting Messrs. S. K. & Thomas Brown's, in Milners' Safe.

Destructive Fires in Glasgow, Manchester, Ijincoln's Inn, &;c. MILNERS' " HOLDFAST " and FIRE-RESTSTING SAFES are the strongest, best, and cheapest safeguards in the

world against fire, robbery, and fraud : 20,000 of them keep the books, deeds, and cash of the practical men of Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, &c., who know their superiority to any others. Five of them have brought their contents unscathed out of the ruins of large fires in Glasgow alone this year, where- in scores of other Safes have been burnt out. Twenty-five offices were burnt out in Lincoln's-innin January, in one alone of which the title-deeds of thirty large landed estates were burnt, which would all have been preserved in Milners' Safes.

Sir, — I have the pleasure of ini'orming you of the cure of a sister of mine, of Asthma of ten years' duration, by your Pectoral Candy. I am, yours truly, James Duggins, Temperance Hotel.

N.B.— I could tell you of another cure ; but the person said he should write to you himself. This was the person who recommended it to my sister. Plymouth Foundry, Plymouth, Devon, March 22d, 1850. Sir,— I think it a duty I owe to yourself and the public, to inform you of the great benefit 1 have derived from your Pec- toral Candy. 1 have been troubled with a severe cough for the last seven years, and, although I have had the very best medical advice, could obtain no permanent relief until I fortunately tried ycur Candy; and, after taking two small boxes, I find myself free from cough. You have my permission to give publicity to this statement. Yours, &c., John Edmond Mare. To Mr Woolley. Chatham, April 15, 1850. Dear Sir,—Mrs Chiseman, of Garden Street, Brompton, has been cured of a cough of four years' standing, ! y taking one box of your Pectoral Candy, and is desirous of expressing her gratitude, in order that others, similarly afflicted, may obtain the same benefit. Please send me three dozen of the large boxes for her brother to take out to the Mauritius with him next week. I can also add my testimony, that, from the many cases I have seen of its decided eificacy, I am persuaded it stands unrivalled as a general Cough medicine. Yours truly, Henry Watts, Chemist, Chatham. To Mr Woolley. Mr Starling, 16, Marsham Street, Maidstone, has been under the care of Dr. Cobb, Great St. Helen's; Dr. Addison,

Chief Physician to Guy's Hospital ; and Dr. Powell, Tonbridge Wells. His disease was pronounced "Ulcers on the Lungs."

Garden Street, Brompton, April 20, 1851. Sir,— It gives me much pleasure to be able to certify to the goodness of your valuable Pectoral Candy, for the great relief it has given to my wife. Having seen your advertisement in the " Kent Herald," I was fortunate enough to get a box of the candy ; and, although my wife has been troubled with a cough these four or five years, with a tightness on the chest, and, at times, she was hardly able to breathe, strange, but true to say, your first box relieved her ; and I, as well as my wife, return you our thanks for your valuable medicine.

It has effected, in my case, a cure of an Asthma and Cough, which have been a heavy trouble to me for the last thirty years ; for it settled on my lungs when I was recovering from the Measles when a child, and I never thought to get rid of it, having tried every remedy that could be heard of, and being reduced to despair. But, thanks to your wonderful Candy, I am now restored, and give you my deepest gratitude, I remain, Sir, yours respectfully, Elizabeth Butler. 1, Kerhey Street, Poplar, September 30, 1851. Sir,— I cannot speak too highly of the excellency of Woolley's Pectoral Candy. I have suffered for years with a dreadful cough and difBculty of breathing. In this distressing state I was recommended to try Woolley's Pectoral Candy, the first box of which gave me great relief, the second box completely cured me. I have recommended them to many of ray friends who were similarly afflicted, who have all received the greatest relief from them. I am. Sir, yours obliged, Octavius Glyn. To Mr. Gr. C. Kernot, surgeon, &c., Chrisp Street, Poplar, New Town, Iiondon, Agent for the Sale of Woolley"s Pectoral Candy.

^This Society was established in the year 1815, upon the principle of Mutual Vontribution, and thus belongs to that class of Life Assurance Institutions which is now almost universally admitted to be the best, and which is at all events the most popular.

The objection usually urged against a Society founded upon this principle is the risk attendant on its failure, from an unexpected mortality amongst the Members, in an early period of its existence. No such objection, however, can apply to a Society which has been in existence upwards of 35 years—having rea- lised and accumulated a CAPIT'iL oi upwards of TWO MILLIONS, and possessing upwards of 6000 Members.

This Society has been more than usually successful in its opei-ations, and there are few establishments of the kind in the kingdom which surpass it in the number and extent of its transactions—the amount of Assuranc8S passed during the last twelve years, having, on an average, exceeded Half a Million per annum. The benefits of the Society are open to all classes of the community. Policies are issued for sums varying in amount from £50 to £5000. The affairs of the Society are carefully scrutinised and examined, and its

Funds and Liabilities are valued at stated intervals of seven years ; the Profits ascertained at these leriodical investigations are divided, and appropriated for the benefit of the Assured—not less than one-third being set aside as a Guarantee Fund, to maintain the stability of the Institution, and the remainder being divided amongst the Members entitled to participate in them. The sum set aside as a Guarantee Fund at last period of investigation—-Slab

December, 1845~was £204 807 : 7 : 2, and the sum divided amongst the Members Ire was £614,422 : 1 : 6. The share of the profits falling to each Member may applied by him in any of the following ways :—It may be taken as an addition its present value in to the original sum assured ; or it may be surrendered for futur© cash ; or this value may be applied towards th reduction of the Premiums. 48 ADVERTISEMENTS.

From the above Table, it will be seen that in the case of a party who joined this Society in any year from 1815 to 1819 inclusive, dying after payment of the

Premium due in the year 1850, his representatives would receive for each £1000 insured the sum of £1990 7s. 5d., or

A Bonus of very nearly lOO per cent:

And in the same proportion whatever the amount of Assurance.

In like manner, in the case of a party insured in the year 1830, dying after payment of the Premium due in 1850, his representatives would receive in the ratio of £1472 8s. lid. for each £1000 insured, or

A Bonus of upwards of 4-7 per cent»

ASSURANCE A DUTY.

It may be felt by many, that, admitting this duty in full, their income is nevertheless insufficient to enable them to spare even the pmall sum necessary as an annual premium for Life Assurance. The necessities of the present are in their case so great, that they do not see how they can afford it. We believe there can be no obstacle which is apt to appear more real than this, where an income is at all limited ; and yet it is easy to show that no obstacle could be more ideal. It will be readily acknowledged by everybody who has an income at all, that there must be some who have smaller incomes. Say, for instance, that a man has £400 per annum ; he cannot doubt that there are some who have only £350. Now, if the.

It may require an effort to accomplish this ; but is not tiie object worthy of an effort 1 And can any man be held as honest, or any w^y good, who will not make such an effort, rather than be always liable to the risk of leaving for in beggar J' the beings whom he most cherished on earih, and whose support he alone is responsible ?

The Premiums are about a fourtli lower tlian in tlie other Mutual Offices—so tliat tlie same Pre- mium wliicli at age 30^ is charged in tliem for an Assurance of £1000^ will secure a Policy, in this Office, for £1230. The Whole Profits are divisible among the Assured, on a new and equitable principle, pecu- liarly favourable to good lives.

That principle is, that the surplus should be re- served for those Members whose Premiums, with accumulated interest, amount to the sums in their Policies, instead of being frittered away among Policies of short duration, on which there is a loss, and not a profit, to the common fund.

The share of profit may be applied in addition to the Policies, or in diminution, or extinction, of the future Premiums, at the option of the Assured. Since the commencement, in 1837, 5000 Poli- cies have been issued, a number greatly beyond what has been opened by any other Scottish ADVERTISEMENTS. 53

Progress of the Business. The Board of Directors in Scotland refer with much gratification to the increasing prosperity of the Association, and to the large amount of business transacted during the past year, as affording unquestionable evidences of public favour and confidence. The new Assurances effected during the year 1850, considerably exceeded the sum of Two Hundred Thousand Pounds^ producing in New Premiums upwards of Nine Thousand

Pounds ; the Animal Income during the same period, exclusive of Annuity Purchase Money, amounted to Eifty-two Thou- sand Three Hundred Pounds, the Funds Invested to upwards of a Quarter of a Million, and the Subsisting Assurances to One Million One Hundred and Eighty Thousand Pounds. THE POLICIES of the Association are effectually secured by a protecting Capital of One Million Sterling, fully subscribed by a numerous and wealthy body of Proprietors, and thus present a most advantageous mode of Investment for Family Provision, with entire exemption fromTHEresponsibility.PREMIUMS may be paid Yearly, Half "Yearly, Quarterly, for a limited term of Years, or in a Single Payment— at the option of the Assured. —

The Edinburgh Life Assurance Company has been successfully conducted for upwards of Twenty-seven Years, being the best guarantee that all the advantages hitherto given to the Assured, will be continued to present and future Entrants. By a Policy with this Company, the highest benefits that can be obtained from adopting Life Assurance as a Family Pro- vision, are secured to the Assured without liability. Nine-tenths of the Whole Profits are Septennially divided among the Assured on the Participation Scale ; a larger proportion than can ever be safely divided by simple Mutual Assurance Societies, in which at least one-third must always be laid aside to form a guarantee. The benefits of Insurance on the Participation Plan are exhibited in the Company's Bonus Declarations in 1835, 1842, and 1849 —the total Bonus in two instances exceeding the sura originally insured ; others in proportion.

SURRENDER OF BONUS FOR VALUE IN CASH. According to this method, if the person assured does not wish the sum in his policy increased, he may sur-

render the Bonus, and take its value in cash ; that is^ instead of the amount being' paid with the sum assured at death, such a sum will not be given as the Directors may consider equivalent to it in present value. Example. -^In. the case of the policy of £1000 opened before 15th November 1825, for instance, as quoted above, assuming the party to have assured at the age «of 35, and to be novv 60 last birth-day, the sum of £463, 7s. 9d. would be given for a surren^ der of the Bonus of £873, while the policy will continue to receive its share of profits, at future investigations, as if the surrender had not taken place.
