The celebrated Chinese Cosmetic for preserv ing the complexion, and for rendering the skin white, smooth, and soft. The great value of this co'smetic is, that the ingredients being solely herbaceous, the most delicate complexion can apply It with out injury, while rough, red and moist skins speedily experience beneficial results. It will be found besides to prevent erruptions on the skin during cold and chilly weather, Another important feature Is that of repressing, without detriment to the sanatory condi tion of the user, the truly unpleasant sensation accompanying too copious perspiration. For infants this powder is invaluable, on account of its harmless and soothing qualities. Gentlemen who suffer from the effects of shaving will find a ready alleviate in this cosmetic.

This line is especially called for by the local wants of the districts, is not a competing line with any existing or proposed Railway, and will be the only direct route from Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Leominster, Hereford, Aberystwith, Machynlleth, Rhyader, Llan dloes, Newtown, Bishop-Castle, Montgomery, Welshpool, Llanfyllin, Dolgelly, Llan gollen Rhuabon, Chirk, Overton, Oswestry, Ellesmere, Wem, Prees, Whitehurch, Audlem, and Nantwich, to the Staffor 'shire Potteries, Warrington, Manchester, and the whole of Lancashire and York shire, thus accommodating a population of not less than 300,000 indi viduals. And, by means of this line and "the Trent Valley Continuation Railway," it will give the only communication by Railway from Market Drayton, Malpas, Wrexham, and Mold, with the above named districts and towns. And, jointly with the " Trent Valley Continuation Railway," will be the most direct line from Oswestry, Wem, Ellesmere, Llangollen, Overton, and Rhuabon, to Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and London. It is a most important fact that Crewe, the Terminus of this line, is the centre of five existing or proposed Railways, embracing the immense locomotive establishments of those Railways, and the branch from this line proceeds to the great iron-works and coal-field of Rhuabon. Engineers and scientific men have fully established the fact, that the coal of this district is the finest in Europe for the ma nufacture of coke, and by this Railway it will be brought directly to the before•named locomotive establishments, and also be the means of supplying the interior of Wales with coal, much better, and at a lower price than at present. It will greatly benefit the extensive agricultural population of South and North Wales, the Vale of Clwyd, Shropshire. and Cheshire, which will obtain a cheap and quick transit for their agricultural produce to the Crewe establishments, and the manufacturing dis tricts of the Potteries and Manchester, including the whole of Lan cashire and Yorkshire, and also to Birmingham and London. The importance to the several counties through which this Railway will pass, of access to the safe harbour of Aberystwith, cannot be overrated. A great intercourse and interchange of commodities must take place between the agricultural districts, the coal and iron mines of Wrexham and Rhuabon, and the flannel manufactories of Welshpool, Newtown, &c., with Manchester. The existing traffic is very considerable, and a glance at the ac companying map will show at once the great resources of this line ; and, it is manifest, that it certainly must become one of the most valuable and productive lines in the kingdom. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate of 4/. per cent. on all deposits and calls paid up, after the passing of the Act.

This important undertaking, in connexion with the projected Lei cester and Birmingham Line, and the existing Midland Railways, will form the most complete and direct line of communication yet projected between the great corn-producing counties of Norfolk and Lincoln, and the populous manufacturing districts of the Midland Counties, of which Birmingham is the centre. It will, in conjunction with the line via East Dereham to Lynn, and the Norwich and Yarmouth Railway, establish a direct commu nication from Yarmouth and Norwich to Birmingham. By means of its junction with the proposed Cambridge and Lin coln or the London and York lines, as the case may be, it will also bring within the range of its advantages the whole of the country between Lincoln and Peterborough. The part of the line extending from Boston by Spalding to Market Deeuing, and the Branch from Spalding to Lynn, will also form the direct route to London from those towns and the country northward thereof as far as the Humber. On the other band, it will bring the whole of this highly cultivated and populous county into direct and immediate communication with the great coal-fields of Leicestershire and Warwickshire ; the pro posed line of the Leicester and Birmingham Railway passing through the latter, and a Branch Liao from the Leicester and Swannington Railway to the Midland Railway, at Broughton, uniting it with the former. By these means the price of coals will be reduced one-half at Stam ford and the adjacent towns—an advantage in which this under taking will possess a decided superiority over any other that has been or can be proposed. By the junction of this line, at Nuneaton, with the Trent Valley Railway, it will also form the most direct communication between Yarmouth, Norwich, Lynn, Boston, Spalding, Stamford, and all the intermediate towns, and Manchester, Liverpool, and North Wales ; and, by means of the railways centering at Birmingham, with Bris tol and the whole of the west of England and South Wales. A glance at the map will show that no line that can be devised will so completely effect all the objects of a grand east and west commu nication as the one now proposed. The line of country traversed by the railway is not less favourable In an engineering point of view. From Lynn and Boston to Stam ford, two-thirds of the whole line, the country is one uniform plain; from thence the line follows the Valley of the Welland to or near to Market Harborough, and then passes over an easy country to the Midland Railway. The enormous exports of corn and other agricultural produce from Lynn, Boston, Wisbeach, and Spalding, and the corresponding im ports of manufactured and other goods to those towns, it is contl dently expected will of themselves yield an abundant source of traffic for this Railway ; but when to this is added the great facili ties of intercommunication which the line will afford, bringing within a few hours' distance the Eastern and Western Coasts of the Island, and to this is added the entire supply of inland coals throughout the country traversed by the Railway, there can be no doubt that it will yield a very ample return for the capital required for its forma tion.

Numerous Imitators have already arisen ; and certainly these Imita tions have some resemblance to ordinary Composite Candles.

BRITANNIA LIFE ASSURANCE COM PANY, 1, Princes-street, Bank, and 448, iVest Strand, Lon don, March 1, 1845. Notice is hereby given, that in pursuance of a resolution passed unanimously at two successive General Meetings of Proprietors, a MUTUAL ASSURANCE BRA NCH of this Inst it u tion has been established on terms peculiarly advantageous to the Assured , a nd that such Branch is support e d by the entire subscr ib e d capital of the Company, together with th e accumulated fund o f P re miums derived from upwards of Six Tho usand Policies, already e ff ec ted in the Pro prietary Branch. Full particulars are stated in the Prospectus, which, with every re quisite information, may be o b tained on applicat i on a t the office. PETER MORRISON, managing Director. To the PROPRIETORS of the BRITANNIA-LIFE ASSURANCE theGErabzlimEshmse—ntlnofealla Calling u t C yuo o a It ! address a few observations to you relative to the past transactions, and the probable result of the proposed extension of the operations of the Company. beg leave to That the " Britannia" Company has enjoyed the decided and (I is clearly proved by P A a s A s tCe r n Y a tio e n e t B o rterexed Notice of trust I may be permitted to say) deserved approbation of the public, policies having been issued in the short space of eight years. In order, however, to show the high degree of credit and influence pos sessed by the Company, it is only necessary for me to state, that two highly respectable and well-established Life Assurance Companies have successively transferred their business to this establishment. the unprecedented fart of .upwards of 6,000 The former of these transfers took place in the year 1840 ; the latter in the course of the past year. It is in consequence of this last-mentioned transfer, which included a large number of Policies effected on the mutual assurance plan, and also in consequence of the numerous applications for Assurances on this plan, which they have hitherto been compelled to decline, that the Directors at length determined on the establishment of a Mutual Assurance 'Branch, on the plan set forth in the Prospectus, after it had been submitted to, and unanimously approved by, two succes sive General Meetings of Proprietors, specially conve ned on the occasion. The general objection to Mutual Assurance Societ ies, that (in their infancy, at least) they do not afford that comp lete security to the Assured which is supplied by the subscribed ca pital of Proprietary Establishments, is completely removed in the Mutual Branch of the "Britannia" Company ; for not only arc the M utual Policy-holders protected by the entire subscribed capital of the Prop rietar y Branch, but the large and continually-increasing fund, accumulated from the Premiums on 6,000 Policies already effected in th at Branch, consti tutes an immediately available fund for the payment of the claims of the Assured, who will thus enjoy all the security afforded by an old established office, and, at the same time, become entitled to all the benefits to be derived from that system of Mutual Assurance which experience has proved to be at the same time the safest and the best. Another serious objection to the Mutual Assurance Plan (as gene rally acted on) is the high rate of premium required to be paid, in the fiat instance, in order to form a fund—not only for the payment of the claims, but also for the distribution of large bonuses among the policy-holders. This objection also is entirely removed by means of the half credit system detailed in the prospectus. For, by allowing half the amount of the first five ann ual p r emiums to remain for five years in the hands of the person a s s ured, a nd applying the bonus (to which he would otherwise becom e entitled) to the gradual liquida tion policy-holder m, in the first instance, combined with that of a full enjoys tionof the e e rdaerbetadthyusantaginceuorrfeda yweryithltnhwe rateCompan of premium, participation, eventually, in the profits. In availing myself of thi s opportunity of congratulating my co shareholders on the extraordinary success which hitherto has at tended the operations of the Britannia Life Assurance Company, I trust I shall, at no very distant period, have still fluther to congratu late them on the complete success of the Mutual Assurance Branch, which, after the most anxious care and attention, has be en f oun d e d on a plan calculated, in every possible way, to benefit and accommo date the public. I cannot, in justice to the Directors, conclude this address without calling your attention to the able and cordial co-operation which has been afforded to me on their part, not only on the present important occasion, but also in every other instance in which their advice and assistance have been needful for promoting the interests of the natl. tutlon.

DEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully stood the tests six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use, they have been adopted by the official authorities of the Houses of Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office, Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other Club-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of gas have passed through some of these meters without regula tion or repair, and which are still working to the entire satisfaction of the gas company and consumers. All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Deities's Dry Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his meters.

Publishing in Weekly Penny Numbers, and Monthly Sixpenny Parts, beautifully Illustrated with Wood-cuts, T HE MYSTERIES OF LONDON, By G. W. M. REYNOLDS, Author of "Pickwick Abroad," "Robert Macaire," "The Modern Literature of France," " Master Timothy's Book-case," &c. Since the days of Roz's " Pickwick " no original work has created so powerful a sensation in the reading world as " The Mysteries of London." It was at first contemplated to publish it in monthly shilling Parts ; but, upon mature consideration, the proprietor and author resolved to issue it in a form which should render it aceessible to all classes. The prejudice against cheap literature having com pletely died away, this determination was acted upon ; and a success which far exceeded the most sanguine expectations previously formed has crowned the work. The weekly and monthly sales, taken to gether, now amount to upwards of 30,000 copies. The thrilling in terest of the tale ; the vivid descriptions of London society, both high and low ; the graphic delineati on of strange or remarkable localities in the great metropolis ; the exposures of all kinds of roguery to which the unsuspicious ones may become a prey : and the fearlessness with which the cause of the industrious millions is espoused, have given to " The Mysteries of London " a character which has become the ele ment of the most lasting popularity.

The Secretary read the report, from which it appeared that the receipts amounted to 9,052/. Is. 6d., including a balance brought from the previous account of 4,532/., 11s. Id. and 4,3161. Is. 3d. tolls, collected between October 25, 1844, and April t 4,1845, and that after paying the necessary ex. penses there was a surplus of 3,387/. 18s. I Id., with 2,5621. 10s. in Exchequer.bills.

The supp ly of c h err i es, otrawberriee, French Wans, oucurellre, am., is ors the IaCANS' Lord WILLIAM LENNOX rose and said that he had received the permission of the Commodore to address the meeting, and that he would not take advantage of the kindness granted him by occupy. ing more time than was absolutely necessary in communicating a proposal which a noble friend of his had volunteered with a view of creating sport upon the river. " Our Club (continued his Lordship) has raised itself to a high pre-eminence ; we have been complimented by the Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, and other competent nautical authorities upon the admirable manner in which, upon the occasion of the last Cowes regatta, the vessels of the 7 hames Yacht Club were handled, and we shall shortly have an opportunity of putting our seamanlike qualities to the test. The Earl of Fitzhardinge has written to me to . say that some time in the month of June or July next he will give a cup value 501., to be sailed far by vessels belonging to members of the Thames Royal Yacht Club, each vessel to bit steered, manned, and handled by members of the Club exclusively. In short, to prevent the possibility of a wrangle, that not even a pas senger shall be allowed on board who is not a member of the Thames Yacht Club ; to be confined to the usual tonnage of vessels who sail for the cup, subject to the usual rules, and the COMM,. dore, as a matter of course, to be umpi.v. Gentlemen (concluded his Lordship), I have now laid before you the terms upon which the Fitzhardinge Cup is to be sailed for, and I confidently believe that the proposal will answer the end of the noble giver by proving generally acceptable to the Club. So sporting an event has never yet taken place upon the river, and I feel assured that not oily the competitors, but every member of the Society I have the honour of addressing, will feel gratefhl to Lord Fitshardinge for his zeal and liberality in thus coming forward to promote the interests at a Club of which be is so distinguished a member." The CHAIRMAN then read the names of the vessels entered for the Club match on the 17th inst., which are the Belvidere, An. tagonist, Prima Donna, Mystery, Vixen, In°, each not exceeding twenty-five tons, and the Cygnet, Charm, and Wave, not above twelve tons each. With reference to the match to.day for the Silver Cup and Cover, presented by the Right Hon. Lord Saye and Sele, the Com. modore announced to the meeting that the Leveret would not start in the match, as she was of greater tonnage than the class of eat. sets eligible to sail in it. He also announced that the Enigma would not sta:t, as she could not be got ready in sufficient time. Another vessel, the Vixen, was also withdrawn, having sprung her mast, With these exceptions, the whole of the yachts entered will start. The following are the yachts that will contend for the cup. The course will be from Erith round the flag boat moored off Chapnian Head, about six miles from the Nore, and back to Greenwich. " ,-.. Yacht. Tons. Pot t. Owners' Names.

THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE ASUTON RAILWAY. —AsiiToN, THURSDAY MORNING —Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, the adjourned inquest on the bodies of the sufferers by this accident was held at the Commercial Inn, in this town, before the two coroners, Mr. W. S. Rutter and Mr. Charles Hudson, and their two juries, one portion of the bodies having been found in Lancashire and the other in Cheshire. The inquiry of yesterday was solely to investigate the cause of the accident, and conse quently excited very considerable interest. Mr. Chapman, the Deputy Chairman of the company, was present, together with several magistrates of both counties and a large number of share holders. Several witnesses were examined, but the evidence brought forward did not tend in any way to show the cause of the accident. One witness, who had been employed by the coroners to examine the ruins, gave in a report that the works were not constructed on a principle, or from materials likely to be durable. The jury then retired, and in about forty minutes returned and de. livered a verdict of " Accidental Death, and that they were una. nimonsly of opinion that the cause of the accident was owing partly to the bad quality of the materials used, and the negligence of the workmen and managers. That both the contractor and the company were much to blame, and that the Coroners be requested to send the minutes of evidence taken during the inquest to the Lords of Privy Council, with a view of having a commissioner or engineer sent from the Government to inspect the whole of the works of the company prior to the opening of the line." The Court adjourned at nine o'clock, r.m. • GREAT INILUX OF SHIPPING IN THE RIVER.- During the last two or three days the arrival of honsewardbouna vessels—mere especially thcise in the foreign trade—in the river has been very great, and the pool and the docks now present an ex ceedingly crowded and bustling appearance.
