This interesting Model is lectured on by Professor RACK HOFFNER, at One o'Clock DAILY, also on the Evenings of WED NESDAY, and FRIDAY, at Eight o'Clock ; and on the Evenings of MONDAYS, TUESDAYS, and THURSDAYS, at Nine o'Clock. The work ing of the Model always follows the Lecture. It is also worked at Four o'Clock, and at other convenient times. The Interesting works and Popular Lectures as usual. Admission, ls. Schools, half-price. To accomplish this desirable object, the line will commence at the south-west corner of the new Farringdon-street, passing in a north westerly direction to Battle-bridge, and nom thence it will proceed almost in a straight line to the luggage station of the Birmingham Railway, at Camden-town. The houses in and about Saffron-hill, and also on the greater part of the line, are small, and of such a description that their removal will greatly benefit the neighbourhood, by improving its salubrity, and increasing the value of the surrounding property. The Provisional Committee have satisfied the :selves, by careful surveys, that no engineering difficulties will present themselves in the construction of this railway, and it may be reasonably expected to yield a fair profit to the subscribers, as it is calculated that, by fares from passengers alone, a return of more than 71. per cent. upon the capital will be realised, without including what will be received for ground rents, vault rents, the carriage ^f goods and cattle, and also irrespective of the increased traffic which may reasonably be anticipated from the lines already formed, or contemplated, to the north and north-east of London, and of which the terminus of this Company will eventually become the common centre. No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his subscription, and power will be taken in the Act of Incorporation to allow 41. per cent. interest on deposits and calls, from the period of obtaining the Act until the completion of the line. _ .

Commencing at a point northward of the Oakley station, on the Birmingham and Derby portion of the Great Midlands, this railway will unite with the Trent line, and thence proceed to the towns of Walsall and Wolverhampton, joining the Grand Junction Railway and the contemplated lines in the direction of Dudley, Bilston, Kid derminster, Stourbridge, Stourport, Bewdley, Tenbury. Leominster and Hereford. Whilst by these means a communication of great local importance will be opened between Nottingham and Derby, Burton, Lichfield Stafford, the Potteries, and Shrewsbury,—the more important public necessity will be supplied of bri•+ging the producing districts of Lin colnshire and Cambridgeshire and the ports of the East of England into direct contact, by a continuous railway route, with the great mineral districts of South Staffordshire, the Bristol Channel, and the ports of South Wales. The length of railway to be constructed will not exceed thirty miles, and the distance saved between the towns contiguous to or beyond the respective termini will be about fifteen. The country presents no peculiar engineering feature. The line interferes with no ornamental property, and has the support of the principal landed proprietors. In the allotment of Shares provision will be made for landowners and other local interests, and the residue will be issued to the public, being shareholder; in the Trent Valley Railway Company. Copies of the Prospectus, and forms of application for Shares, with a map of the proposed line, may be obtained on and after Monday, at the Company's offices, 68, George-street, Manchester; from Mr. Birch, at Lichfield ; or at the offices of the Trent Company, 11, Bridge-street, Westminster.

The shower was "heavy," though "light" was the hat, Yet each one agreed to the fight for all that. The hat, It appears (as it often had done), Was boasting concerning E MOSES and SON, And boldly declar'd, in an audible strain, That MO-4ES fam'd hats are a match for the rain. " Hold your tongue !" said the shower, " you poor little imp, You seem rather stiff,' but I'll soon make you limp. I'll dent in your crown, and I'll soften your brim, And make you appear in a different trim." • Then the rain " pepper'd" down on the brim and the crown, While the other did nothing but laugh like a clown. " Hat" kept out the rain, like a famous " repeller," Although the poor " feller" had no umbrella ; And the hat remain'd " smooth," though the rain was so "rough," 'fill the straggle was o'er, and his foe cried—" Enoi.gh l" "There, I knew," quoth the hat, " how the fight would be won-- I knew you'd no chance with E. MOSES and SON ; Whose hats, like their garments, are made in a way Which stamps them, at once, as the first of the day. You thought that each drop, as it pelted my top, Would damage my form—but I've made you cry, Stop r , I knew, all along, how the fight would be won— I knew you'd no chance with E. MOSES and SON." The New Work, entitled " The Monarch Mart," with fall direc tions for self-measurement, may now be had on application, or for warded post-free. LIST OF PRICES. HEADY MADE.

Carriow.—E. , oses and Son are obliged to guard the Public against imposition, having learned that the untradesmanlike false hood of being connected with them, or it's the same concern, has t.reen resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons. They • eve no connexion whatever with any other establishment, in or out If London, and those who desire genuine Cheap Clothing should (to &e.) call or sort to 154, Slinories, or 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church. N.B. No business transacted at this Establishment from sunset on Fr day till sentuuset kiaturday when business is returned at twelve o'clock The objects of this undertaking are to provide the shortest prac ticable route betwixt the towns of Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds, and the most direct and independent communication to the Midland Railway, and thence to the metropolis. and the south ; also to open the rich and extensive coal fields which abound the whole length of the line. This project will effect a junction with the Manchester and Leeds Railway, near to the Wakefield station, and by means of a short branch, join the Midland Railway near the Oakenshaw station. • The station of this line at Wakefield will be situate in Westgate, in tile heart of the town, and the railway will pass from thence along the Wrenthorpe Valley, by East Ardeley ant: Churwell, effecting at this point a junction with the Leeds and Dewsbury line. From Churwell the route diverges by Fernley, passing between Black-gates and Nisbet-hall, south of Fulneck to Leister Dyke, and thence to Bradford, where a junction will be effected by means of a branch with the Leeds and Bradford Railway, and its extension, thus afford ing the best means of outlet to Bingley, Keighley, Skipton, Kirby Lonsdale, And to the west and north-west. In addition to the importance of establishing the most`direct practi cable communication betwiitt the abo-e-mentioned towns, this pro ject possesses within itself the elements of one of the best paying mineral lines in the kingdom, passing as it does through rich and extensive coal fields, extending the whole length of the proposed rente, great portions of which are already in course of working, and will, by the favourable gradients of this line, be readily transmitted not only to Bradford, and the north-west, where fuel is much re quired to meet an increasing demand, but also to the eastern coast. It must be evident to any one conversant with the position of the town of Bradford, that notwithstanding the importance to which it has so rapidly risen. independent of ordinary facilities, either from inland na - igation, or communication by railway, it has not hitherto received that consideration to which it was entitled, and it is only fair to assume that had it possessed the same advantages of direct intercourse as other inland towns, its commercial prosperity would have still more advanced. Irrespective, however, of the importance of this line of communi cation to the town of Bradford, and viewing it in connexion with other existing and projected lines of railway, it presents a most important link in the chain of communication for passengers, mine rals, and general mercantile traffic, from Bradford to the metropolis, and the south, and betwixt the eastern and western coasts. It will also be the most available source for the transit of wool and general merchandise from the eastern coast and the south to Bradford, and for limestone, iron, slates, cattle, and other produce from the west and north-west, to the south and east. The important corn and cattle markets of Wakefield will, by this project, be the means of diffusing still greater advantages to the most densely populated districts of the West Riding. The facilities of transit for horned cattle from the north and north-west to Wakefield have hitherto been extremely limited, whilst the purchasers of grain from Bradford, Keighley, and the surrounding districts have, for the want of a more direct route, been debarred from availing themselves of tho most extensive home corn market in the kingdom. The advantages arising from this undertaking are equally calcu lated to benefit the manufacturing interests of the town of Leeds, which will alike share with the towns of Bradford and Wakefield, the shortest availableroute, not only from the eastern coast, by means of the Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole Railway, but also from the south by means of the projected communication with the Midland Railway, near to Oakenshaw. Vien;ing this line as a completing link in the chain of communica- .... tion, not only between the towns of Bradford, Wakefield and Leeds, but also as effecting a junction between the Midland,lVakefle'd, Pon tefract, and Goole, Leeds and Dewsbury, West-Riding Junction, Leeds and Bradford Railways, and the proposed extension to Keighley, Skipton and the North-West, this railway will be the means of connecting a greater number of lines, at present alike se vered, and unavailable to each other, than, perhaps, any other single project of the like extent. - The facilities for accommodating the local traffic will best be exemplified by the following table of distances From the station at Westgate, Wakefield, to the station near the Court House, at Bradford. As the Crow files the distance is... ......... • .. .. 12 • From Wakefield to Leeds, by a Junction with the Leeds and Dewsbury Railway, near to ChurWei.: As the Crow flies. • ...; From Bradford to Leeds, by means of the same Junction 9 From .Bradford to Leeds, by means of a Junction with the West Riding Junction, near to Fulneck ........ gxi As the Crow flies... ..... . •• 7 5 / 2 These are points with respect to distances (taking into account the peculiar features of the country), between the important towns of Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds, which will bear comparison with the best laid-out lines in the kingdom, whilst in cost of construction this project may be as favodrably compared with any existing or proposed line in the West Riding. Irrespective, however, of the local traffic which must necessarily pass along this line, as the shortest route betwixt the towns of Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds, and apart from the minerals which, by its means, must find an outlet to the Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole, Midland, York, and North Midland, and Hull and Selby Rail ways, the staple trade of Bradford will receive an invaluable ac quisition. About 200,000 packs of wool are annually sent to the town of Bradford, for consumption in the worsted districts of the West lading, upwards of two-thlrds of which are derived from the south or south-east, and would, therefore, pass along this railway. Similar remarks will, to a f reat extent, apply to bale goods, oil, groceries, and general merchandise. The gradients of the lie will be peculiarly favourable, admitting of an almost level plane of nearly five miles in extent in the centre, with descents in no instanee exceeding one in one hundred towards each terminus. By the proposed Act the liability of Shareholders will be limited to he amount of their several subscriptions. Application for Shares may be made to the Secretary In the fol lowing form :-- TO THE PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE BRADFORD, WAKEFIELD, AND MIDLAND RAILWAY. Gentlemen—l request that you will allot me Shares at 251 each, in the above proposed Railway, and I undertake to pay the deposit of 1/. 7s. 6d. per Share thereon, or on any less num'ler you may ap propriate to me, and to execute the Subscribers' Agreement and Par liamentary Contract,- when required.

After trying several very eminent aurists, from whom I de rived scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend, to try your excellent Eye Snuff. I accordingly procured one of your 4s. 4d. canisters, after taking which I found considerable benefit, so much so that I sent for two more, which, having used, I found my hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf since.

Co vley Polhill, Esq., Walbrook-buildings, and Brompton, Middlesex. (With power to add to their number.) W. Edwards Staite, Esq., Manager of the Manufacturing Deparmeni BANKERS—The Commercial Bank of London. SOLICITORS —Messrs. Austen and Hobson. Gray's Inn. AUDlTOR—Richard Thomas, Esq., George-yard, Lombard-street. SECRETARY—W. H. Bellamy, Esq. Offices of the Company, No. 2, Moorgate-street, City. This Company is established for the manufacture and sale of the Concentrated Essences of Tea and Coffee under Staite's Patent, by licence from the Patentee. The advantages peculiar to the process for which this patent has been granted, are very numerous ; but among the most prominent is this, that while the properties of the material are completely ex tracted, its available quantity is augmented, and its virtues improved. The distinctive qualities of the Essence obtained are, the retention of the identical flavour and fragrance of the particular Tea or Coffee used, and a degree of strength secured before unknown: The method employed in preparing and putting up these Essences, secures them against injury from the lapse of time and change of climate, affords the greatest possible facility for portability and im modiate use, and so reduces the price to the consumer, that economy itself furnishes an ample guarantee for their extensive use. One teaspoonfal of the Essence, in a cup of boiling water, will be sufficient for the instantaneous production of a cup of tea or coffee of the finest quality. The following certificate from Dr. Ure is, with satisfaction, sub- 5 joined : " I hereby certify, that Staite's Patent Essence of Tea is a pure and wholesome beverage ; and that is is extracted by a peculiar process, which, while it excludes in a great measure, the bitter and astringent matter always present in the teapot, preserves and refines all the exhilarating and aromatic principles of the Chinese herb. Being put up in Mr. Rand's Collapsible Tubes of pure tin, it will keep un changed for any length of time. (Signed) "ANDREW URE, "Analytical Chemist to the Board of Customs, &c., Sc'e." The Committee have also thought it right to have the samples of the Essences submitted to high and unbiassed authorities in the Tea Trade. The following testimonial from a well-known and eminent Judge is the result:— "W. •J. Bland having tested the samples of the concentrated Es sence of Tea, manufactured under Staite's Patent, pronounces them clean, full and perfect. " By whatever process the Extract is obtained, the aroma is finely preserved, and without the crude or fibrous property which ordinary methods of maceration or evaporation would exhibit; the distinctive flavours of Pekoe, Souchong, Congou, &c., are completely preserved, so that even critical judges of the article would not be able to tell any member of cups of the diluted Essence apart from others infused after the common method. This result may be regarded as the acme of the invention, and its greatest protection and recommenda tion. "The Coffees, extracted after the same patent, are rich and aro matic in flavour, and brilliant in colour : perfectly pellucid, without the slightest sediment—whilst the distinguishing properties of the Mocha, the Mountain Berry, and other known peculiarities, are so naturally developed as of to be mistaken.

LEA. and PERRIN'S WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE is pronounced by connoisseurs to be " the only good sauce" for enriching gravies, or as a zest'for fish, curries, coups, game, steaks, cold meat, &c. The approbation bestowed on this sauce having encouraged imitations, the Proprietors deem it necessary to caution purchasers to ask for "Lea and. Perrin's Worcestershire Sauce," and to observe that the same is embossed on Bett's metallic capsules, which they have adopted as a protection to the public. Sold, wholesale, retail, and for exportation, by the - proprietors, Vere street, Oxford-street ; Crosse and Blackwell, Soho-square ; Barclay and Sons, Farringdon-street ; and by vendors of sauces generally. ETTS'S PATENT METALLIC CAPSULES II possess the following properties, and are now practically admitted to be the only security for effectually preserving the con tents of bottles, jars, pots, &c. They are applicable to these vessels, of every size anti shape, from the smallest phial to the mouth of a jar or pot three inches in diameter : They are made of a metal free from every impurity, non-corrosive in its n.ture, and consequently, not subject to oxidation, nor pervious to moisture. They preserve the Contents of the vessels to which they are applied perfectly air-tight ; thus securing them from becoming vapid, mouldy, or fetid. They effectually protect the Corks from the ravages of insects, and the noxious influence of the musk rat and other vermin. They supersede the use of wire, wax, bladder, &c., and the uni versally acknowledged inefficiency of tin-foil ; the capsule being made of solid metal, has not only sufficient strength of itself to secure effer vescing liquids, but is much handsomer in appearance than the above useless tinsel, besides having' the advantage of being applied with much greater ease and rapidity.' They have also the very hn - portant property of affording absolute security against the possibility of fraudulent substitutions. In addition to the advantages before enumerated, the use of the Capsules prevents the liquid from oozing out of the mouth of the bottle, completely removes all cause of complaints (particularly in tropical climates), against the adhesion of the wax and other coating matter, to the lingers, when the cork is extracted—staining every thing with which it comes iu contact ; and prevents the falling of such offensive matter into the bottle or glass, which frequently dete riorates, and even destroys, the natural properties of the liquid. Exporters desirous of availing themselves of this valuable inven tion, in giving their orders for Wines, Ales, Porter, Cider, Preserved Fruits, Vinegar, Pickles, Sauces, Chemicals, .Oils, Mustard, Ink, Blacking, &c., &e., need only direct their tradesmen to cover the bottles, or other packages, with the Patent Metallic Capsule, which will not incur extra expense.

NEW GERMAN HOSPITAL.—A public meeting Wits held on Wednesday at the London Tavern, for the purpose of eking into consideration the necessary steps to be adopted for establishing an hospital exclusively for the poor Germans resident in the metropolis. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge occupied the chair. There were also present Chevalier Bunsen, the Prussian Minister, the Marquis of Westminster, Lord Ashley, the Duke of Cleveland, S. Gurney, Esq., and several other gentle men who are taking an interest in this matter. After taking the chair, his Royal Highness dwelt upon the necessity there was for the establishment of such an hospital. Although the Germans were never refused admittance into any of the public hospitals, yet from the fact of many of them speaking English imperfectly, their wants were often misunderstood and ill supplied. His Royal Highness concluded a warm appeal to the generosity of the English nation, and to the Germans resident in London, by stating that her Majesty the Queen was a donor of 3001. and an annual sub scriber of 1001. Resolutions were subsequently moved, recom mending an establishment of the kind to the public, on the grounds that there were at present 30,000 poor Germans in the metropolis, most of whom were, from the nature of their occupations (sugar refining, skin dressing, and skin dying), exposed to accidents and subject to ailments that often reduced them to want and extreme misery. Other formal resolutions were proposed and c arr i ed, and after thanking his Royal Highness for his condescension in tilmj nB the chair, the meeting separated. We regret to base to announce the death of the Rev. Mr. Barham, better known to the literary world as the author of the " higoldsby Legends," and of one of the most po pular of our modern novels, " Cousin Nicholas." Mr. Barham died at his residence in Amen-corner, St. Paul's, after a short but severe illness. It seldom falls to the lot of a journalist to record the death of a gentleman who more thoroughly combined high and distinguished talents with all the social virtues and qualities. Those who had the happiness of knowing the deceased, will read of his death with unfeigned sorrow, and sympathise with the metts. bers of his family in their deep affliction.

I send yon my name and address, but would rather that you did not make them public.—N.B.
