A Preliminary survey of the country and investigation into trellis have been made, which JusUfy the expectation that a system of railway communication can be framed, calculated to further the interests and develop the -resources of the island, and to render a liberal return for the. capital. to be invested, without unduly invading tile privacy of pritierty. The promoters are • anxious' to give fall consideration to parties interested;la ally but it is hoped that as the amount of capital re quired for the undertaking is limited, applicants for shares will confine their claims to such a number as they may desire per manently to hold.

DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY from PERTH to ELGIN, by BlairgoWrie, Er , aeraar , and Bailin dalloch—to Join the Great North of Scotland Railway from Aberdeen to Inverness, at or near Elgin, with a Branch to Banff. The promoters of this Railway have great satisfsetion in an nouncing that they kayo received a avowable report from Alexander Gibb, Esq., civil engineer, Aberdeen. The undertaking is now proved to be practicable ; and it will very aeon be shown that it will be profit able—because, as this line is the shortest to all the Northern Coun ties, not excepting Inverness, it will obtain, to a great extent, the traffic between these counties and the south. The superiority of this line, as publicly announced on the 25th ult. ' is indeed already partially demonstrated by several subsequent attempts, to appro priate coins portion of it.

This Railway is projected to continue the line of communication from the terminus of the proposed Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junetion Railway at Amber-gate to Nottingham ; which by a junction at Nottingham with one of the proposed Eastern lines will complete the nearest and most direct route from Nottingham and the Eastern Counties to Manchester, Liverpool, and Holyhead, and by a junction with the Midlands Railway, in the parish of dawley, by the Erowash Valley, the nearest route ftom Lancashire and Yorkshire to the South. The town and environs of Nottingham contain a population of up words of 100,0a0 persons, extensively employed in the cotton, silk and lace manufacture, and this line, by its connexion with the pro posed Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction Railway, will reduce the distance upwards of seventy miles from that important district - to Manchester and Liverpool, as compared with existing routes; and the same advantage will also be derived by the towns of Leicester and Loughborough. Independently of the great traffic which, as part of the main trunk line from the agricultural districts of Nottinghamshire, Lincoltushire, Norfolk, and Suffolk, to the manufacturing districts of Lancashire and Cheshire, it will pass through a very populous, manufacturing, and rioh mineral district, the local traffic from which will alone re turn a fair remuneration for the capital invested. It will also pass through the extensive Nottinghamshire and Derby shire coal-field ; and by its junction with the Midlands Railway, at Amber-gate, and its emtiguity to the limestone and gritstone quarries of Derbyshire, afford an unlimited quantity of coal, lime, and building stone to a large district at present only partially and expensively sup plied with those important products. In addition to the income to be thus derived from the 'octal, mineral, and passenger traffic, a large revenue will accrue from the line, considerably cheapening the transit of cattle, cern, and other produee of the Eastern Agricultural Counties, and also of cotton, silk, and other raw materials, now brought by a circuitous, dilatory, and expensive routs, front Liverpool and Blanchester, to be used in the staple trades of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Leicestershire, and the transmission of valuable manufactured goods to Liverpool for exportation. The railway will provide an easy and cheap access from Notting ham and the eastern part of England to Matlock, Buxton, Bakewell, Chatsworth, and Haddon, and the romantic scenery of the Peak, and by opening objects so rich in their attraction, will beyond doubt com mand a large proportion of that pleasure travelling public by which existing lines have so much benefited. The Proprietors of the canals in the district through which the line will traverse, it is confidently believed, will amalgamate their inte rests upon such equitable terms as will prove advantageous to the Shareholders in this Company. A preliminary survey of the oonntry has been made, and it has been ascertained that the gradients are remarkably good, and the cost of construction not expensive. Prospectuses, with forms of application, may be obtained from Mr. Spencer, Nottingham ; Mr. Peet Nottingham ; Messrs. Earp and Son, Derby ; Mr. Eyre," Derby ; Messrs. Leeds and Son, Manchester; Mr. Duncuff, Manchester; Messrs. Joshua King and Son, Liverpool ; Messrs. Trigg and Hodgson, Hull ; and Mr. J. S. Yeats, Mr. T. Allsop, and Messrs.

NOTTINGHAM, VALLEY of BELVOIR, and GRANTHAM RAILWAY. A Company is in course of formation by the local and canal interest for the purpose of carrying forward the proposed Manchester and Nottingham, Erewash Valley, and Amber Gate Railway to Grantham vitt Bingham. This Railway will traverse a large and populous agricultural dis trict, connecting it with the great coal and mineral field of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, and will offer the shortest practicable route from the Eastern Counties to Manchester, Liverpool, and Holyhead. Proposals will be made for uniting this Line with that already pro jected, called the Nottingham, Erewash Valley, Amber Gate, and Manchester Railway, and of the Canal interests alomg the route of the projected Railway. There is every reason to believe that the traffic will be abundant and remunerative, whilst its construction will be below the average cost.

This line will commence near the city of Oporto, and continuing through Lamego, will traverse the very heart of the great Wine dis trict of Portugal to Torre de Mencervo, within a few miles of the Spanish frontier. The manifest advantage; of this line render comment almost un necessary. Preliminary surveys have established the fact that there are no engineering' difficulties of importance to overcome, and the traffic of the country is even now so great, that no reasonable doubt can exist as to the lucrative nature of this investment. The improved state of affairs in the Peninsula will eventually ensure the extension of this line to the ancient and populous city of Sala manca, and the very heart of Spain. It is difficult to estimate the boaeticial results of the completion of such a line. An immense dis trict of the most fertile country in Europe will be broughf into 'ulnae dials contiguity with the sea-coast, and thence, by consequence, with England and all the maritime nations of the world.

HARVEY, or Bath , formerly Sur genii in the East India Company's Service, recommends to the Public his Family Pills. The great benefits resulting from an efffraelous household medicine must be manifest to all. This medicine is not put forward as a care fur every complaint, but in those cases of sudden and temporary ill ness so frequenly occurring in families, it will be found of singular service, as its operation is extremely mild, as well as effectual. The large and steadily increasing sale of these Pills, princi pally from the recommendations of those who have expe rienced their salutary qualities, is the best proof of their ex cellence. A few doses will convince those suffering from Indi gestion, from whatever cause arising, that their effects are perms practice in neut.

This Company has been formed fir the purpose of extending to India the great benefits of internal railway commanioation. It proposes to effect a commencement of a system wkich shall have for its object the oonnexion of the several Indian preeldeneles with each other, and with the nearest point of intercourse with Europe at Bombay, and at the same time to develop. the great and unimproved resources of the !Meteor of the Peninsula. The vast importauco of the object has boon fully recognised by the East India Company aid the Board of Control, who are prepared to undertake such surveys as may be necessary to enable them to take into consideration the general question of railroads in India. The promoters of this measure have represented to these authori ties that this Company may propably find. on due inquiry, that it will be impracticable to execute the intended roads without a guarantee by the Government of a certain though small dividend, or of some equivalent advantage ; they have therefore much satisfac tion in stating that the Government proposes to depute to India a skilfull engineer, to bo associated with others to be appointed by the Goverment of Julia for investigating the subject ; and when the in ffirmation to be so obtained Shall have been received, it will be pre pared to take into consideration the mode and extent of whatever pecuniary assistance it may be proper for the Government of India to afford towards the execution of projects of this deseription. It is understood that the survey of an experimental line will be executed as soon as possible, with the especial sanction and assist ance if the Government, as stated above, by whom the coat of such survey or surveys will be borne, and the requisite arrangements, if any, with the native Governments and the owners of the land will be undertaken. On the completion of these preliminary steps it will remain for the Shareholders to determine whether or not the prospects of the undertaking, as thus ascertained, and the terms assented ti by the Government, will warrant tile further proseoution of the design. From documents, to which amass has been most liberally given by the Directors of the East India C om p an y , v ery exact information has been obtained as to the gene ral en g ineerin g character of the in tended lines ; the same authentic source, and th e communications of E D e v n e t In have l v o e n g supplied engaged i f: facts high en which the f o ll ow i ng statements political and milit ar y serv i ce i n th e are founded. It appears highly probable from these that further in quiries will load to a most favourable result, and issue in the final establishment of the Company on satisfactory (late. In that ease the Company will be established ender a charter from the Government In India, and if necessary a charter from the Crown will subsequently be applied for. In this state of things the Provisional Directors consider themselves Justified in laying the proposed undertaking before the public. It has been agreed that the capital of the Company shall be fixed at 6,000,0001., iu shares of SOL each, making 120,000 shares, upon which it will be re quired that a deposit of 21. 10s. per share shall be paid at the time of Lune. The amount of these deposits will be invested in Exchequer Bills or East India Bonds, or in such other securities as may be con sidered safe ; and as the disbursements of the Great Indian Railway Company will be limited to such expenses as may arise out of pro ceedings necessarily connected with the preliminary surveys, and to such other charged as are incidental to its general management, It may be safely assumed that the interest to accrue on deposits will al most, if not altogether, defray all the expenses of a preliminary cha racter. If, therefore, it should be hereafter judged to be inexpedient to carry out the present intentions of the Great Indian Railway Com pany, either from the unfavourable reports of the engineer officers, or trim the support to be given to the Railway Company by the He nourable the East India Company, under the permission of her Majesty's Government, not being considered adequate by a majority of the Shareholders, the deposit of 21. 10s. per share, and the interest which shall have accrued upon its investment, will be retuned sub ject to the payment of all necessary expenses. It is not intended to proceed until after the report of the engineers in India shall have been received, and the result of the investigation duly submitted to the Shareholders, nor in any came is it intended to execute the line, except in portions ; and the calls will only be made with reference to the portions so commenced. It is proposed that the lime to be undertaken by this Company shall commence at Bom bay, ascend the Western Ghauts, and pass Ahmednuggur into the valley of the Godavery ; it will then traverse the plains which skirt that river until it has crossed the Maniere, a few miles beyond whiek it will turn towards the south-east, fallowing a series of connected and fertile valleys, and on emerging from this district, near Kum niummet, it will take a nearly straight course to the Godavery, which it will pass a few miles above Rajamundry, and then proceed to its terminus at Corings. Four branches will fame from suitable points on the main line ; those to the north will terminate for the present at the frontiers of Candeish, and at Nagpoor, the latter having a sub-branch to Oonirawutty ; these will form the first portions of lines hereafter extending to the Ganges and Calcutta ; those to the south will extend to Shoolapoor and Hydrabad, and be capable of being eventually continued to Madras. From the groat field of India, as yet unappropriated by railway en terprise, this main line has been selected, ou account of its great and numerous advantages. It will have a large present goods traffic; it passes through countries whose susceptibility of improvement will occasion great increase of its traffic; it connects the two coasts; and, with the aid of steam navigation iu the Bay of Bengal, will give present speedy communication between the three presidencies, in ad vance of its ultimate effect, their connexion by railway. One terminus is the noble port of Bombay, the other is the only harbour on the Co romandel coast. The route selected by which it traverses the eastern side of the peninsular is certainly the beet to be found, and probably the only one which will not require heavy works and stationary en gines. Its branches reach to most important districts and cities, and will form the first portions of railways of great importance hereafter. It will greatly increase and cheapen the supply of cotton from India to England and China, and strengthen the political influence of England in India and the adjacent countries. The length of the main line and branches will be about 1,300 miles ; the cost, including the apparatus required for the assent of the I Western Gliauts,will probably not reach 6,000,0001. This estimate is founded on careful inquiry into the costs in India of such structures as will be suitable to the circumstances and traffic of the country. The amount of tonnage to be expected on each half of the line is about 230,000 tons per annum, of which the greater part is salt, ftom the coast to the interior, and cotton in the other direction. The price of carriage in these parts of India is nowhere less than 316 d. per ton per mile, and then only in the few cases of carts on level roads. The greater part of it is done by droves of small oxen, travelling six or seven miles a day, at a charge of more than Bd. per ton per mile. Since railways can be worked as cheaply in India as in England, and the English charge, which bears a profit, is 2d. per ton per mile, it follows that the English charge can safely be made in India, and will at once ensure the traffic, and bring ample returns to the share holders. The annual receipts calculated on the foregoing data will amount to 1,091,6661., and the cost of working the live, according to the best information which can at present be obtained, will be little more than one-half that sum, leaving a surplus available for a dividend of 8 1 ,4 per cent. These results, though stated in gross and roughly, are founded on careful inquiry, and an a lysis already obtained from the authentic sources lc interfere with referred to.

This important line of railway will commence near the Midland Comities Station at Nottingham, whence, after crossing the navi gable River Trent, the line will proceed through or near Bridgeford, llolme, Ratcliffe, and the intermediate villages, Bingham, Hot tosford, Whatton, Elton, the rich and fertile Vale of Belvoir, to the town of Grantham, thence passing through or near Folkinghant and Bourn, or ono of them, to Spalding, Long Sutton, Sutton-bridge, and King's Lynn,and there joining the intended Lynn and East Dereluim Railway, will form the most direct hue of connexion be tween the Eastern Counties, and the great and populous manufac turing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire, by means of the projected Grand Union Extension line to Amber Gate, and other lines north of Nottingham ; and by means of the line to Yarmouth will also form a communication between the Eastern and Western coasts of the Kingdom. The Southern parts of Lincolnshire, and the North Eastern parts of Cambridgeshire, will be afforded a direct facility of intercourse with seine of the best markets in England. The neighbourhood of Nottingham being the most Eastern part mf the Great Midland Coal Field, this Line will afford a supply of Coals, as well as being the medium of transit of Derbyshire Lime and Stone to the Agriculturists of South Lincolnshire, at a conside rably cheaper rate than by any other existing or projected Line ; in short, the vast mineral wealth of the Midland District, will be reit lered available to the whole of the great agricultural country East of Yottingham. Surveys are now In progress, and the nature of the country is inovrn to offer no serious engineering difficulties, and a great portion of the Line will be nearly a dead level. The consideration of an ex tension of the Line from Spalding or Long Cotton to Wisbeach„ will also form a portion of the scheme. The Repoil of the Board of Trade on the Lines through Lincoln. Adm., says : " The total cost attending the transmission of a quarter of wheat :row the interior of Lincolushire, by sea, from the port of Boston to London, includiag freight, insurance, lighterage, commission, and other charges, is stated to amount to very near Ss. The charge by Railway per quarter (allowing five quarters to the ton, at the charge d. per ton, per mile, at which the estimate of the Cambridge and Llucobe Railway is taken) would not exceed 25., and the re maining charges are calculated not to execad 2s. 6d., thus showing a benefit to the eoru growers and to the public of 3a. 6d. per quarter, occasioned by the saving of the sums now paid for insarance, relay, loss in weight, depreciation of quality, lighterage, &c." " A still more important advantage to the Farmer is afforded by the opportunity given by railway communications of availing himself :,romptly of the most favourable market. It frequently happens that owing to the delay and difficulty of transmission, the Farmer is com pelled to sell his what at the nearest provincial market at a pries considerably below the average rate, and to lose the advantage of a temporary rise." " Whatever tends to equalise prices and to prevent excessive fluc tuations cannot but be considered as a benefit both to the producer and the consumer. We are satisfied that much may be done in this way by an economical and well arranged system of railway com munication." _ . The same remarks apply to the whole of the great maaufacturing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire. The great quantity of land, amounting to 1 90,000 acres, about to be redeemed from the sea by a company, with Sir John Renni e , as that great advantage ti thi s under taking.the Grand Union Railw a y must , at Engineer ferthe promoters, and Mr. Bendel, for the Corporation of Iyultimately e tlen of the Midland Railway s , as an meet w ith w must u dle, u ie l to t rd iimt c ial ,3pe immense traffic will be brought along those lines en route to Birming ham, the Potteries, and the whole of the manufacturing districts of Staffordshire.

" These are very numerous, but the water is frequently unfit fel* use; being tainted by the feculent matter from the cesspools, which oozes through the porous soil, and intermingles with the water. The extremely filthy condition of the habitations of the poor in Bristol is attributed by the medical men, whose statements are cited in the Report en that City, to the great deficiency and the difficulty of ob taining water." 'With a view to remedy this greet evil, the gentlemen whose names are attached to this prospectus, after meeting, and conferring• with many of their fellow-citizens, have formed themselves into a Provi sional Committee to establish Water Works, on a scale c mome prate with the present wants and the increasing requirements of the popu e lation, and they now invite the aid and co-operation of other gentle men desirous to see this great improvement effected, so that Bristol may no longer remain in the almost singular position of being the only large city in the kingdom without this groat, and, indeed, indis pensable accommodation. Assuming more moderate charges to be made by the Bristol Wate Works Company, fur en unlimited supply of pure filtered water de r livered into every tenement in Bristol and its suburbs, than are now incurred for the scanty supplies of the inferior water, as described in the Report of the Commiss.oners, with a moderate additich from the proprietors of breweries, manufacturers, hotels, baths, and other es. tablishments requiring large supplies, the Committee are convinced that their calculations of a lull return on the capital aro founded on a just basis. In all other cities and towns, where similar works have been esta blished, they have been attended with great advantage to the public, combined with fair profit to the proprietors ; and in Bristol, which the Report of her Majesty's Commissioners shows to be so deficient in this most important provision, it cannot be doubted that similar results must follow.
