O ver Company is conducted over only two lines also tli a l. -I cl with an inadequate amount of rolling stock, 0111 it is still unfinished, and that the portion at work h as_ e Pre Y rec ently been opened, it will be observed that th r: receipts afford no reliable data upon which to form fix of the probable traffic. peters e m iax the amount at anything like what is felt by com tram judges will be the actual result when the enormous R . I . that the junctions with the Metropolitan (Under- W ° , llll d)i the Great Northern, the Midland, the Great and a t e h rt, the West London Extension, the South Western,. t o „.,e North Western , will bring on the lines, might be V era l "rd an exaggeration by those inexperienced in the i ' e riol elasticity of metropolitan and suburban traffic. t„," is therefore thought better not to estimate the probable higher than the average of the mileage receipts of the vi_.‘ropolitan (Underground) Railway, as above mention . ed, • £673 per mile per week. This multiplied by the mile of the Metropolitan Extension Lines of the London, L., and Dover Railway Company would give a re ded e f £489,944 per annum. From this sum must be e .ucted 40 per cent. for working charges, which is a liberal !!'lliaate. The net results from va i passengers only may be ntated therefore at £293,966 per annum. f r The large goods traffic, which these lines will enjoy alike °/ 1 1 the admirable position and number of the stations as fr om the arrangements made for working the traffic, will c ertainly augment the receipts by at least £40,000 net per 11 ttum ; whi c h, i n th at case, after paying' interest on de r Wares on the B and. C Stocks, would y ie ld a di v id en d o f per cent. on the whole of the £2,425,000 A Stock (in cluding the present issue), which, at the p r i ce it is now il ffered at, would be equal to 10 per cent. per annum. The price at which the A Stock is now offered must be r e o sidered most advantageous to the investor if on ly oneh 1 , l f of this result is attained; when, however, the increased ,leleolpts would permit a dividend of 5 per cent., the Stock 110 certainly rise to par, which would practically be a gr it l of upwards of 47 per cent. above the price of iseue. fi gur es considered that results approaching the above ste ad will be reached in less than two years, and that a Aran ti3increaseoarh t., may be further looked for from that time. tett Peg ave therefore been made with Sir S.

This important metropolitan railway will connect the Dublin and Kingstown Railway at Sandymount with the terminus of the Great Southern and Western Railway near the Phoenix Park. It will join a system of tramways in connection with the docks on the south side of the River Liffey, and the har bour and shipping at the North Wall, and will connect itself with the line from Dublin to Drogheda and Belfast, and also with the Midland Great Western Railway. The proposed line will be seven miles in length. It will form a direct communication between the Midland and Great Western and Dublin and Kingston Railway ; and it will in like manner directly connect the Great Southern and Western with the Dublin and Droheda Railway, and will become the main route for all the traffic between the Northern and Southern parts of Ireland. It will thus not only be a subu r ban omnibus line for the city of Dublin, but it will occupy the remarkable and unrivalled position that the whole of the interchange traffic between the great trunk lines converging in Dublin (viz., the Dublin and Drogheda and Northern lines, the Midland Great Western, and Dublin and Meath Railways, and the Great Southern and Western Railway), together with the through traffic on these lines to and from England, and their traffic in goods and minerals with docks and harbour, will, of necessity, pass over the whole or some part of it. By the formation of this line the mail service between England and Ireland will be considerably accelerated, and passengers willl be enabled to travel to and from the port of Kingston and any part of the Irish railway system with out changing carriages. It is proposed to have a station at the New Cattle-market in Dublin, and thereby to develop° the trade in connection with that extensive branch of traffic. It is an important feature of the proposed line that the advantages of deep water at all states of the tide at Holy head and Kingston will be rendered available for the traffic in cattle, goods, and minerals. From its position in relation to these ports and to the port of Dublin, this line will effect a considerable saving in the cost of transshipment and carriage of coal sent into the interior of the country, and a large development of coal traffic may confidently be anticipated as the result of these increased facilities. The London and North-Western Railway Company cordially approve of the undertaking, and will afford thoir fullest co-operation in developing the traffic between their system and the Irish railways over the proposed line. The act for this line was obtained in the last session of Parliament, after a most searching and careful inquiry of 22 days, before a Select Committee of the House of Com mons, which unanimously adopted it as the best of five competing schemes that had been under its consideration, for the purpose of supplying Dublin with a metropolitan railway communication effecting a connexion between the railway systems having their termini in that city. It is well known that the Metropolitan and Suburban Railways of London have produced results exceeding the most sanguine anticipations of . their original promoters, although the cost of construction, including the purchase of properties, has been greatly in excess of any other railways in the kingdom. In the present instance the position of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway, of which the proposed line is practi cally an extension, furnishes the very best data for esti mating its future traffic.l The Dublin and Kingstown line has cost about £60,000 per mile. Its traffic is confined to passengers only, from which it derives an income yielding an annual dividend of about 10 per cent., and the £lOO stock is selling at about £lOO at the present time. It is estimated that the Dublin Trunk Connecting Rail way will cost about £37,000 per mile, and in addition to its suburban omnibus traffic, and the through passenger traffic, it will be the receiver of an extensive traffic in cattle, goods, and minerals. There is, therefore, just ground for expecting that the Dublin Trunk Connecting Railway will be at least quite as successful as the Dublin and Kingstown line, or, in other words, that it will become one of the very best and most remunerative railway properties in the kingdom. The works have been undertaken by the eminent firm of Messrs. J. and C. Rigby, the contractors for the harbour and other works at Holyhead. On registration of the Scrip, of which due notice will be given, the Certificates for £5O will be divided into five Shares of £lO each. In the event of no allotment being made, the deposits will be returned in full. Should a less number of Shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposits will be made available towards the payment on allotment, and the balance (if any) returned to the applicant. • FORM OF APPLICATION TES FOR SCRIP CERTA.

OFFICES. 35, Bucklersbury, London, E.C. The Assam Company, the first established for the culti vation of tea in India, being desirous of concentrating and confining their operations to the Southern Division of Upper Assun, and thus centralising the management of their extensive properties, have determined on selling it to the Northern Assam Tea Company (Limited), whose estates are contiguous, the whole of the northern and eas tern division of their property in Assam, instead of adopt ing the alternative of promoting a new company to carry thorn on, or placing them under separate management. The present extension of capital, therefore, is for the purpose of purchasing direct from the Assam Company the whole 'of their outlying estates in the neighbourhood of the Tingrie and Deehing rivers in Upper Assam, forming their northern and eastern division, and consisting of the following gardens : The Tingrie Mookh, Hoogrie Jaun, Kehung, Naholia, Cato, Tippum, Hookan Joorie, Towrock. These comprise some of the fine old indigenous gardens, respecting which so much has been written, and which only require opening out to insure their profitable exten sion. They are at present producing the finest tea and tea ' seed in Assam—the latter in sufficient quantity to enable the purchasers to plant out any extent of new land with out further cost on this head. --- The area at present under cultivation is about 1,000 acres, of which over 500 are in full bearing. The Gardens are surrounded by lands for which grants have been ob tained to the extent of 10,000 acres, .all of which is very superior and suitable for the growth of tea. The Assam Company's right to the whole of this pro perty, together with all buildings, plant, implements, tools, boats, and live stock, will be handed over to the Northern Assam Tea Company for the sum of £lOO,OOO, to be paid as follows :- Bth June, 1865 £30,000 15th July, It 15th August, „ 15th November, „ £lOO,OOO The crop of tea of this season, and any furthor csrAmie ni laud that - the euperintendent or agents of the Assam Corm pany may have acquired up to the date of completion o this sale, together with all cultivation commenced during the current season, commencing Ist November, 1864, has also been contracted to be transferred to this Company, on payment of the sums actually disbursed since that date. No commissions or promotion money have been paid or allowed. In the allotment of shares a preference will be given to shareholders in the Northern Assam Tea Company and the Assam Company. The Assam Company in 1863 disposed of their outlying estates in the district of Cachar, for the purchase of which a company was formed in Calcutta, called " The Central Cachar Company," the shares of which company are readily saleable at 25 per cent. premium. Those of the Assam Company are at above 150 per cent. premium. The success of tea-growing in Assam is now thoroughly established. Indian teas are rapidly increasing in favour and value owing to their great strength and pungency. Further, it may be stated, that the recent reduction of the duty has already caused a considerable advance in prices here, and the supply is still inadequate to the demand. In reference to the quality and capabilities of the lands proposed to be purchased, the following extracts are taken from the last reports : The Resident Secretary in India of the Assam Company, in his report on the property contracted for, says : " The lands in this part of the province are the finest for tea cultivation in Assam. The soil is not only the very best, but the forests contain the most splendid timber, inex haustible in extent, which is not the case in the Southern Division. It needs no foresight to predict that the pro perty the Company holds in this part of the country may be made within the next ten years equal, if not superior, to that which they will be in possession of at that time in the Southern Division." The following are also extracts from a report made to the, Directors of the Assam Company by their Chief Superin tendent in January i last, when he visited the property : " That the land s first-rate there is no question or doubt, but to effect such an object (that is, work it to full advan tage) it must be divided into a distinct field, and the management given to the person residing . on the spot. " I have now got the Deputy Commissioner to accept three applications near Tingrie, for probably an area of about ••,000 acres, including the land between Tingrie, Hoogrie Jaun, and Kehung, along the banks of the Tingrie river ; and this, with what we have already secured in other quarters between the Deehing and the Tingrie, will bring the Company's holding up to at least 10,000 or 12,000 acres ; and I would recommend the extending in this quar ter for the reason, that the land is very superior, and the position likely to be much more healthy than any other portion of the Northern and Eastern Division. " The present gardens, if worked up to their capabilities, would yield 2,000 mawalls of tea. " The plants in the n'hrseries, which were put down last year for the purpose of planting out, have come up very well, some of them 18 inches and others 2 feet high. , The estates have been frequently visited by the Manag ing directors of the Northern Assam Tea Company during the last 13 years, and as lately as March last. He fully confirms the favourable views above expressed, and is of opinion that with comparatively small outlay the indi genous plants alone can be worked up to an annual yield of 4,000 to 5,000 chests of tea. Since the contract for the purchase has been concluded, the Assam Company have received from their Managing Director in India, and from a large Shareholder in both Companies now visiting Assam, valuations of the property greatly in excess of the price agreed to be paid. On the above grounds, therefore, the acquisition of these estates will render the Northern Assam Tea Company one of the most influential and profitable in India. Application for shares to be made on the annexed Form on or before Wednesday, the 31st May, on which date the list will be closed. London, 23d May, 1865. APPLICATION FOR B SHARES.

GUIDE TO TIIE QUACKS Or LONDON. A the '• e Q Quacks, signature of "Detector," a peared! has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The realer of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. Ile has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, young men. For their names, which " Punch" would not frau dulentand d morear mnooniseoymeb,ywmhoeaot,bcteasinanranoneexytobrytiotna.isefrpornietegnrceeesn, advertise, he has refers kd his readers to the lower corner of the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Mr." Punch's" contemporai les, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he kegs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these ii.Pcreants, with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them. n •cdfut to be Lnown, will be found in the pamphl t above referred to, which is entitled "Revelati, na of Quacks ant Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medical Circular" OWce, 20 King William-street, Strand, W.C. The vile praotiooe, MUUS tMr 1111pudeneo, the. exile' rapacity, and the enormous gins of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are fully set fonts in " Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks ate publishe 1. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory, bi consulting which every young man may know where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse you, whi e they invoke your indignation and disgust. Of course you do not want it on account of its warnings for your own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple tons with whom you must be acquainted, it your acquaint ance is large. " Who are the Quacks that 'Punch' means ?" Consider what it is to he able to answer this question of the young and inexperienced, and, for charity's sake, if for no other, go and provide yourself with "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery," by Detector. —Punch, April 12.

The pleasant meeting in Hertfordshire always claims a large attendance, but on no previous anniversary has such a truly enormous gathering taken place. The weather was June like, and the racing of an interesting nature. Though the enclosure had been enlarged since the last meeting it was almost impassable, such was the throng of company, and the course on either side was lined with drags and open carriages, in which the gentry of the neighbourhood ap peared quite in Goodwood style. Derby betting which took place is only noticeable for the rapid advance of Oppressor, who, after being supported at lessening prices, finished at 12 to 1,9 to 2 was offered against Gladiateur, the backers of the French horse standing out for half a point more.

WESTMINSTER. A public meeting of the electors of Westminster favourable to Mr. John Stuart Mill was held last evening at the Whittington Club, Strand, Sir John Bowring in the chair. The chairman said, as one of the old Westminister Reformers, he had much pleasure in presiding. Mr. G. Duff, M.P., said there were three candidates before the electors. One, the Tory, is entirely unknown ; another is known only from family and " influence ;" but the third is a man of transcendent personal merit, the author of works which have made his name famous throughout the world. (Hear.) If Mr. Mill had been in Parliament during the late Reform debate, who would have been better qualified to reply to Mr. Lowe than the author of the " Treatise on Repre sentative Government ? (Hear.) With Mr. Mill as their representative they would have a man fully competent to grapple not only with important poli cal questions, but with equally important social ques tions. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., said the constitu ency of Westminster was generally considered the greatest elective body in this country, and ought not to be represented by any ordinary or inferior man. He was glad they were going to return Mr. Mill free of expense ; for electors had no right to ruin a can didate by expenses, and then expect him to be inde pendent. He thought it false reasoning that because a man was a profound thinker, a hard student, and a powerful writer, he could not be a practical man. Professor Masson thought the coming election for Westminster one of the most important events of the day. It was not every day that a man like Mr. Mill came before a constituency, and when any constitu ency was so honoured it should strain every nerve to return him. They did not want to send a repre sentative to Parliament to learn politics. (Hear.) The Rev. F. Maurice and Mr. T. Hughes having also spoken in favour of Mr. Mill, Mr. E. Beales moved the following resolution :—" That it is due to the position and reputation of the city of Westmin ster that it should be represented by men who have manifested a publicly recognised capacity to instruct and guide opinion on political questions ; and that Mr. J. S. Mill, who, as a thinker and writer on po litical and economical questions, has acquired a high reputation in Europe and America, is pre-eminently qualified to serve in the House of Commons as a re presentative for this city." Mr. Farrah seconded the resolution, which was carried by acclamation. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro ceedings. COLCHESTER. On Thursday evening Mr. T. J. Miller, M.P., and Mr. P. 0. Papillon, M.P., the Conservative sitting members for this borough, met their supporters at a meeting of the local " True Blue Club," and were well received. Mr. J. G. Rebow has appeared as a Liberal candidate. In an address issued on Thursday Mr. Rebow observes : " The Parliament which is expiring has not been distinguished for acts of great progress, nevertheless it has promoted several useful measures of legal and social advancement; and whenever the more settled state of foreign affairs admits of a calmer conside ration of domestic legislation than of late, further progressive measures will, doubtless, be brought for ward, and would have my best consideration. Hitherto the Government of Lc,rd Palmerston has shown masterly judgment and dexterity in maintain ing strict neutrality in respect to the contending States of America, and in abstaining from engaging England in hostilities in Europe, and it is earnestly to be desired that the same course of non-interference may be preserved in so far as is consistent with the honour and interests of the country. Under the judi cious management and policy of the present Govern- EAST RETFORD AND BASSETLAW. The members for East Retford will probably be re-elected without opposition. Lord Galway pleases his own party by his votes and conciliates the Liberals by his attention to local business. Mr. Foljambe has the advantage of distinguished support from many of the large landowners, and the inhabitants of Worksop and Retford, as well as the villages of Bassetlaw, who are independent or free from all local influence, would give their votes in his favour. Besides, a great number of the Conservatives, who rise above the level of party,have declared their in tention of placing his name on the card with Lord Galway. HERTFORDSHIRE. The Hon. Henry Cowper, brother of Earl Cowper, who unsuccessfully contested the,county of Hertford on the death of Mr. Giles-Puller last year, will be a candidate at the ensuing general election. Mr. Cowper's prospects are good. Last year he was defeated by a majority of 248 under somewhat ex traordinary circumstances. There was at the tithe a great local agitation for the repeal of the malt-tax, and Mr. Surtees was brought forward as the advo cate of total and immediate repeal, while Mr. Cowper declined .to pledge himself to do more than vote for the reduction of the duty with a view to its ultimate repeal. Since then there has been a considerable modification of local opinion with re ference to the malt tax, and many of the farmers are now disposed to think that they have more to hope from the moderation of politicians like Mr. Cowper than from the extreme but ineffectual policy advocated by Mr. Surtees. In addition to this, the gains of the Liberals on the last registration con verted their majority at thepoll into a certain though not very large majority. Mr. Cowper's friends are confident of his success. NORTHALLERTON. There is likely to be a warm contest for this borough. Mr. W. B. Wrightson, the present Liberal member, will be opposed by Mr. Charles Henry Mills in the Conservative interest. Mr. Mills married a sister of the present Earl of Harewood, and thereby came into close connection• with the Harewood family, who are the oners of considerable property in Northallerton and the neighbourhood. !NOTTINGHAM. Mr. Chas. Paget and Mr. Samuel Morley addressed the Liberal electors on Thursday night, and a reso lution was carried approving them as candidates for the borough. The third candidate is Mr. G. A. Martin (Conservative). Sir Robert Clifton issued his address to the electors yesterday. NORTH NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. At the close of the present Parliament Lord R. Clinton will retire from the representation of the Northern Division of Nottinghamshire ; but the Right Hon. the Speaker will solicit a renewal of his trust. Lord R. Clinton reti4es from ill-health, and it is probable that Lord E. Clinton, a brother of the Duke of Newcastle, will offer himself for the vacancy. Capt. Savile, of Rufford-abbey, has been named, but it is stated that he declines to stand. It is ex pccted that there will be no contest, as the Speaker is most popular, and the influence of the Duke of Newcastle is very great. • THE NORTH RIDING. A good deal of interest is being manifested in the North Riding in the forthcoming election. The re sult with many is thought to be doubtful, but the Liberals express great confidence, from the addi tions they have made to the register, that they will be able to succeed in returning their candidate, Mr. F. Milbank. SUNDERLAND. The friends of Mr. W. S. Lindsay, M.P., have positively announced that he will be a candidate for re-election at the general election. The hon. gen tleman in his present state of health, it is feared, will be unable to take any active part in canvassing the borough or in the contest ; but it is understood .that his friends will do so in his behalf. Mr. Lindsay will be opposed by Mr. Alderman Candlish, an ad vanced Liberal; and Mr. H.W. Fenwick, thesenior member, offers himself for re-election. Under the present circumstances of the borough, with three Liberals in the field, it is stated that the Conserva tives will bring out Mr. Alderman Hartley, the ex tensive glass manufacturer, and one of the directors of the North-Eastern Railway. WEST KENT. On Thursday evening Messrs. Angerstein, M.P., and Lubbock, the Liberal candidates for West Kent, addressed a large and influential meeting of electors in the Assembly-rooms, Harmer-street, Gravesend. Mr. Robert Oakes, J.P., was voted to the chair, and a large number of influential gentlemen, including Mr. F. Leith, J.P., and the Rev. Mr. Price, sat on the platform. Both the hon. gentlemen expressed themselves in favour of extending the franchise and reform, and claimed independence of action in giv ing their votes. Resolutions pledging the meeting to give the hon. gentlemen their support at the coming election were proposed by Lieutenant Baker, and seconded by the Rev. Mr. Price, and carried unani mously, when, after a vote of thanks to the chair, the meeting terminated. THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION.—The regula- tions of the association with respect to the forth coming Wimbledon meeting have just been issued. The rule made in former years that no man should take the Queen's and other great prizes more than once has been abrogated. With respect to the Queen's Prize, it is ruled that only volunteers who have been returned as ancients under the new Volunteer Act c an compete for it, and it is to be fired for as in past years, in two stages, the first stage being at 200, NO, and GOO yards, with the Enfield rifle, and open to all enrolled V alunteers Cor p s at the r ate of two representatives each company ; and the second, at 800, 900, and 1,000 yards, is confined to the 60 highest competitors in the first stage, and will be shot over with Rigby match rifles, provided for the purpose. The highest man in the first stage will receive the silver medal of the A asociation, a £2O Rigby Rifle, the silver embroidered badge, and the stun of £5O ; each of the 29 next best shots will receive a. £2O Rigby match rifle, the embroidered badge of the Association, and £5 in money, and each of the next 30 highest will receive the badge and £5, and will have rifles lent them with which to compete in the first stage. The 40 best shots above the "first sixty" will receive £3 each. The prize in the first stage is the sum of £250, presented by her Majesty the Queen, and the winner will receive the gold medal of the Association. The next great Volunteer prize is the St. George's Challenge Cup, pre sented by the St. George's Rifles. This is open to one re presentative from each company of an enrolled corps, and the competition is also divided into two stages, the first at 500 yards, and the second at 600. The highest in the first stage wins the Cup for his regiment to hold for a year, and he will receive for himself the gold and en amelled jewel of St. George and a purse of £6, the 19 fol lowing best shots also receiving prizes. The entrance fee is 10s. for corps subscribing to the association, and 155. to others. The second stage is open free to the 60 best shots in. the first stage, and the highest will win for himself a '' dragon" cup, value £5O. The All-comers' prizes are this year of very great value, and while encouragement is given to fancy rifles, a great many competitions are only open to bona fide Government pattern ; and to the Alexandra prizes ' (the sum of £5OO, divided into 90 prizes) the entrance fee is as low as 10s. a range, the ranges being 200 and 500 yards. Competitions are now going on in the different volunteer regiments for the right of representing the corps at Wimbledon, and, from the interest taken in these com petitions by the volunteers, it may safely be presume d that ' the forthcoming meeting will be even more successful than, • its predecessors.
