The proposed line is intended to form a connecting line between the Great Western and the Birmingham Railways, and the most central part of London, and thus to obviate the serious inconvenience arising from the great distance of their respective termini from the City. It will also meet the expressed wish of the Board of Trade in favour of a central terminus. 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 from 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 gri , Utly benefit the neighbOurhood; by improving its salubrity, and increasing the value of the surrounding property. The Provisional Committee have satisfied themselves, 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 of 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. Applications for shares, in the form required by the Registration Act, as annexed, can be made, addressed to the Company's Solici tor, John Castle Gant, Esq., 37, Nicholas-lane, London; to Messrs. Chalmer and Simpson, stock and share brokers, 23, Tokenhouse-yard, Lothbury, London ; or to the Company's Temporary Offices, No. 7, Tokenhouse-yard, aforesaid, and no other form of application can be attended to. 13RISTOL AND LIVERPOOL JUNCTION RAILWAY, with a fixed Bridge over the Severn.

Curries and Co., 29, Cornhill ENGINEER — Sir John Rennie, F.R.S. SECRETART, PRO TEM.—Thomas Dyke, Esq. A principal feature in this undertaking is the erection at the Old, or Aust, Passage, of a fixed bridge across the estuary of the Severn, adapted as well for railway traffic as for ordinary carriage and pe destrian intercourse. By the construction of this bridge, and the in tended line of railway in connexion with it, two great objects will be attained ; first, there will be established, by means of a junction at Hereford with the proposed lines north of that city, a direct, unbroken line of railway communication between Bristol and Liverpool, with a saving in distance of about forty-two miles over the present route ; and, secondly, there will be opened a free com munication between the southern and western portions of England, on the one hand, and Monmouthshire and South Wales on the other. These important districts have hitherto been practically severed, and only rendered accessible to each other by a most inconvenient ferry, dependent on tides and weather. The want of a fixed bridge over the Severn, at the point above-mentioned, has long been severely felt, and it would be impossible, whether in reference to na tional or local interests, to over estimate the importance of a scheme designed to supply this want. It has not, however, been from a consideration of its impracticability that such a work has not long since been accomplished. In the year 1825 Mr. Telford, the late ce lebrated engineer, was consulted upon the subject, and gave a most decided opinion in favour of it, particularly adverting (amongst other causes affording facility) to the great height of the banks at the Old Passage, to the fact of the bed of the river consisting wholly of solid rock, and to the circumstance that suitable materials for the work could be procured within a reasonable distance. The engineers of the present proposed work, as well as other en gineers of eminence, are equally confident of the thorough practica bility of the undertaking. Until recent times, and before the period had arrived when railway traffic and profits had reached their present astonishing extent, the expense of this bridge compared with the probable traffic returns, naturally retarded Its projection ; but now, when works equally difficult and expensive, such as tunnels and viaducts, are readily con structed by railway companies for the mere traffic of their line, and sometimes only to avoid a comparatively trifling deviation, it will be . _ at once admitted, that with a view merely to the formation of a direct line between Bristol and Liverpool (without looking to col lateral or ultra-terminal advantages), the magnitude of the under taking is na longer to be regarded as an impediment to its com pletion. The recent decision of the Admiralty against the proposed bridge at the Hock Crib, leaves the Aust Passage the only practicable point for a fixed bridge. Arrangement; have been concluded with his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, and the other proprietors of the Aust Ferry, whereby the purchase of that important interest has been secured to this Com pany. The line, which will be about forty-eight miles in length, will commence at Bristol, and proceed to the Aust Passage, there cross ing the proposed bridge to Beachley, it will run northward along the valleys of the Wye and Monnow by Chepstow - , and Mon mouth to Hereford, which city will form the northern terminus of the line. At Hereford the direct chain of communication to Liverpool will be completed by the lines now projected between those places. It is obvious that this route will furnish to the west and south-west of England the best and most direct means of communication not only with Liverpool and 'the north of England, but with Dublin and the north of Ireland. To Bristol itself the value of the project cznnot be over-estimated. It will secure to that ancient city the continuance of its long-enjoyed position, as the emporium of commerce in the west. It is proposed to connect the line with the forest of Dean, by which means the vast mineral resources of that district will be developed to an extent hitherto unattained. Many other advantages will at once suggest themselves to those acquainted with the locality of the proposed railway ; amongst others it may be mentioned, that the route will embrace Tintern Abbey, and the other celebrated scenery of the Wye, which, notwithstanding the difficulty and expense of reaching them by the old means of tran sit, annually attract a great number of visitors. The engineering capabilities of the line have been ascertained to be excellent. In vestigations on the subject of the traffic have been made, which fully justify the conclusion that the undertaking will prove a very pro fitable investment of capital , as well as a great national and local con venience.

Hunt, 10, Whitehall, London. SzcarrAßr.—George Shapland, Esq., Exchange Buildings, Bristol On the formation of the Bristol and south Wales Junction Rail way Company, in April last, the Directors requested their engineers to survey the country on the Monmouthshire side of the Severn, with a view to ascertain the most eligible line for a railway to Dion mouth, as that town and district would not be conveniently connected with Bristol by any of the railways then projected. Various circum stances delayed the Engineer's report, and during the interval a scheme, of a more extensive character, has been brought forward— via., one for a railway from Bristol to Hereford, with a fixed bridge across the river Severn, at the Aust Passage. After the most full deliberation, the Directors consider that the announcement of this project ought not to alter the course they had intended to pursue, of providing the public with a mode of tra velling from Bristol to Monmouth suited to the resources of the coun try, and to the surmountable difficulties incident to a large navigable river. • They can see no. reason to expect that the Lords of the Admi ralty (whose sanction the recent Land Clauses Consolidation Act has rendered necessary when a railway is to be carried over a tidal river), will look on a bridge across the estuary of the Severn, where it is nearly a mile and a half in width, with greater favour than they have lately shown with regard to one where the same river is only six hundred yards wide, and is not navigated by large vessels ; and fhorn long experience in railway business, the Directors are convinced that no adequate revenue for an outlay of two millions upon forty eight miles of country, possessing no peculiar resources, can justly be anticipated. They have carefully examined into all possible sources of traffic ; and though they are of opinion that a gross income might be pro duced, of about two thousand pounds per mile, per annum, which would yield a fair return on the cost of a railway connecting Chep stow and Monmouth, as a link in the general railway scheme for that district, they believe that no person acquainted with railway statistics can justly anticipate an additional net revenue of Five per Cent, upon one million pounds, the smallest sum at which the bridge can be estimated. It should be recollected that many years must elapse before such a stupendous work across a rapid navigable river of such depth and width, and with the greatest rise of tide known in the world, could be completed, even if subscribed capital for such a purpose could be relied upon, and also that ere long the distance between Bristol and the north, and north west of England will be so much lessened by the lines of railway now before Parliament and the public, that sixteen miles will be the utmost saving in travelling from Bristol to Liverpool via Monmouth, while to Manchester, the rail ways via Gloucester must still afford the most direct communication. Whenever two routes of equal facilities are oren to the public, the proprietors of either 'ought not to anticipate more than half the travelling, and therefore the Directors believe that any 'expectation of monopolising the long traffic between Bristol and Liverpool, or the adjacent districts, is fallacious.. For these reasons the project for a bridge across the Severn, and for the 48 miles of railway, to be con nected with it (requiring a gross revenue of 150,0001. per ann mrnt pay the necessary expenses, only five per cent. upon the nese estimate of two million pounds), can never be regarded favourably in a financial view by any parties who inquire into the average re ceipts per mile resulting from railway or bridge traffic. The Directors have felt it necessary to make these observations on the undertaking referred to as an explanation why they rtill pro ceed with their own plans precisely as they would have done had such a scheme never been announced This line of railway will forin the continuation of that from Paris, Creil, and St. Quentin, to the Belgian frontier, and when completed will join the Charleroi and Erquilinnes Railway. In offering this undertaking to the public, It is important to re mark that the Belgian Government ceded to the above-mentioned Directors, by Royal Ordinance of the 28th May last, the branch line of railway above referred to, from Charleroi to Erquilinnes (the French frontier), and consequently this line from St. Quentin to • Maubenge twill give A direct communication by railway from the Seine to the Rhine—from Paris to Boulogne. These facts are sufficient of themselves to establish the importance of the St. Quentin and Maubeuge line, which has been carefully sur veyed, and offering no engineering difficulty will be promptly exe cuted.

W. T. SMITH, Secretary. 25, Essex-street, Strand. They have the great satisfaction to state, that the Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway, together with the improvements at the New Passage Ferry, and the proposed extension line to Mon mouth, will be constructed under the superintendence of Mr. Brunel, and they are confident that through his skill and experience the in conveniences of a ferry will be modified far beyond public expectation. When the Severn is reached by the Railway from Bristol and crossed at the New Passage, the traveller will be in the direct route to Newport, Cardiff, and South Wales on the one side, and on the other to Chepstow and Monmouth, from which latter town various lines are about to be constructed to Hereford, Shrewsbury, North Wales, Chester, Liverpool, &c. The Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway was promoted to maintain the very ancient connexion between Bristol and the Prin cipality, and the proposed extension of it to Monmouth will have a similar tendency in reference to the towns of Chepstow and Mon mouth, and the districts in which they are situated. The Directors therefore belleim that it will receive the strong sup port both of the Shareholders in the Bristol and South Wales Junc tion Railway, as a protection of :heir interests, and of the inhabitant of South Wales and Monmouthshire, as a certain and early means of securing railway communication with Bristol and the districts to be reached by the various railways connected with that city, It has been considered more judicious to form a separate Company for the extension line. to Monmouth than to alter the Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway Company at present, but powers are proposed to be taken for uniting the two Companies hereafter with the assent of their respective Proprietors. It is also intended to pay interest on the calls at 4 per cent. The Shareholders in the Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway Company will be considered entitled to shares in this Company, and therefore such of them as may be applicants are requested to state the number of Shares they already hold'in the former.

The object of this line is to connect the important ports of Galway, Belfast, and Newry, and to transect the midland counties of Ireland, and which will be materially facilitated by the Ulster Extension and Newry and Enniskillen lines, which have just passed the Committee of the House of Commons. Commencing at Galway the line will pass through or near the fol lowing important places :—Tuam, Castleblakeney, Mount Talbot, Athleague, Ilescommon, Lanesborough, Longford, Newton Forbes, Elphin, Carrick-on-Shannon, Belturbet, and Clones, 'where it will form a junction with the Newry and Enniskillen Railway, thus form ing a direct communication between the ports of Galway, Belfast,:and Newry. It will at the same time afford, in connexion with other lines, accommodation to the counties of Limerick, Clare, Galway, Mayo, Roscommon, Longford, Leitrim, Fermanagh, Cavan, Monag han, Londonderry, Antrim, Armagh, and Down, and passing by or near to the Arigna iron mines, and the great coal and limestone fields in Connaught, it will essentially promote the agricultural and com mercial interests of those places. It will also complete an important chain of railway communica tion between the port of Galway in the west (one of the most capa cious in the United Kingdom, and which must, ere long, become a packet station for steamers to and from America, &c,), and the ports of Belfasf and Newry on the north-east ? where there are constantly steam-packets proceeding to Glasgow and the ports on the western coast of Scotland, and which will be brought into cheap and rapid communication with each other. . . It is to be observed that whilst almost every other line of railway hitherto projected diverges from Dublin, no line is as yet proposed which intersects the inland counties. By crossing, as it will, other main lines, it will be a feeder to them, and it will, in return, receive from them a considerable amount of traffic in passengers and naer thandize. A preliminary survey of the district is being made; the line will pass, for nearly the entire length through the table land of Ireland, so that the gradients are particularly favourable ; there will, more over, be no tunnelling, nor any engineering work of difficulty. From the estimates which have been made, it is confidently expected that a return of 10 per cent. on the capital will be realised. The act of incorporation will limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of shares which they may take.

As, however, all prudent offices make a considerably higher charge in the annual premium than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the fol lowing classification may be made : Ist. Proprietary Offices, whe:e all the surplus from premiums and other profits is divided, exclusively, amongst the Share or Stockholders. 2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions be. tween Share and Stockholders and the Assured. 3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole of the profit is equitably distributed amongst the Assured only. The METROPOLITAN, which is of the last class, was established in 1835, and although ne paid agents for town or country have at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of advertising resorted to, yet its advantages have been so well appreciated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed 56,000/. In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's affairs, the Annual Premiums of Members of Five Years' standing have been re duced Forty-two and a-Half per cent. A plan of the Society, with Tables of Rates, may be obtained, on application, at the Office. • RICHARD HEATHFIELD, Superintendent, Princes-street, Bank, June 11, 1845.

No business transacted at this Establishment from Sunset on Friday till sonunset Saturday when business is resumed twelve 'clock THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their Deed of Constitution not to dispute any policy unless they can prove that it was obtained by fraud, and for this purpose the Company have, by a clause in their Deed of Constitution, unhesitatingly deprived them selves of the power of objecting to any policy unless they undertake to prove that it wasobtained from them by fraudulent misrepresentation. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who give to the assured on the Mutual principle the whole of the mutual accumulations, and also guarantee the sums assured. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay the full amount of the policies, although the debts for which they were effected shall have been liquidated before the claim arise.

BY THE HALF PREMIUM PLAN ONLY one-half of the fish seven years' premium is required, the other half being payable at the convenience of the assured, thus allowing a policy to be continued for seven years, at one-half of the usual rate, or to be dropped a one-half of the usual sacrifice.

WATSON, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Folgate, aided by a person of Science in the amalgamation of>fetals, has succeeded in bringing to Public Notice the most beautiful Article ever yet offered ; possessing all the richness of Silver in appearance, with all its dura bility and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in use, undergoing, as it does, a Chemical Process, by which, all that is nauseous in mixed Metals is entirely extracted —resisting all Acids--may be cleaned as silver, and is manufactured into every Article for the Table and Sideboard:— Fiddle.

Gentlemen,—A case whi. h shows the good effects of the medicine is in a child of my daughter's, only six weeks old, with an inflamma tion on the chest. She gave it a pill or two without much effect. It got worse. She then gave it three pills of No. 2, which removed the disease. In all she gave it fourteen pills in five days. It is now well, and grows nicely. Yours respectfully, ANN lIILDER. People of England I—Compare1—Compare the above safe TT —Ygelan mode of cur with the opium and prussic acid treatment of doctors I Where would this child have been under such treatment ?

DVERTISEMENT — BOTANICWATER AND 13EAliS GREASE. —When the hair is becoming thin, and falling off, the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above -named articles, applied al ternately—the botanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf and as a stimulant, and the bear's grease as a nourisher. If any further evidence was required of the virtues of bear's grease for renovating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North Ame rican Indians, would be a sufficient answer. Ross and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, who first intro duced the use of bear's grease in this country, and who fat and kill the animals, recommend the public to pur chase none other but with their names and address printed on the pot, or the chances are their obtaining a spurious ar ticle. All vegetable oils applied to the hair are worse than useless. PROSPECTUS, NOTTINGHAM and BOSTON RAILWAY. Registered Provisionally. Capital 750,000/., in 30,000 Shares of 251. each. Deposit 1/.

The formation of a railway from Nottingham to Boston is, unques tionably, of the greatest importance to the whole of the districts and towns which it will connect, and will prove highly advantageous to the manufacturing and agricultural interests. By reference to the map of England, it will be seen that Boston is only about forty-eight miles from Nottingham, while all other sea-ports, on the east coast, are at a much greater distance from Nottingham. A very great traffic already exists between Boston and Nottingham, which may be increased almost to an incalculable amount when the facilities of railway transit are completed. The export trade from Boston is now comparatively limited, by the want of means of conveyance from the manufacturing districts, which this railroad will supply. Boston is situate in the midst of the finest land in the kingdom ; and this part of Lincolnshire may be justly termed the garden of the manufacturing district of England. The produce of the whole dis trict, particularly its wheat, is consumed in the large manufacturing towns ; and the carriage of corn and cattle, to the great centres of population, will alone furnish a constant and certain source of revenue. In addition to this, a large traffic will be carried along the line, in manufactured goods, and in coal and lime from the Nottingham shire and Derb'•shire coal fields, to rural districts through which it passes, and to the shore of the German Ocean; the latter traffic is yet to be developed, and with the cheap transit provided by this line the important article of coal will compete at a great advantage to the consumer with the present supply, which is now brought by sea from Newcastle. A very considerable amount of the vast staple produce of Notting ham, Derby, Loughborough, Leicester, and the reighbourhood, which is exported to Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Germany, and all other parts of the Baltic, is now conveyed by a circuitous and expensive route to Hull and London, and thence, after repeated removals by ship or steamer, to its destination; whereas, on the completion of this line, it would be transmitted direct to Boston, and thence to the be fore-mentioned places, in much less time, and at a much less expense. Boston is not only the nearest seaport town to Nottingham, but it is the natural seaport of the manufacturing towns of the whole of the Midland districts, and it is the most convenient, safest, and best situated on the Eastern coast, for the shipment and transhipment of merchandise. By recent improvements the river, or arm of the sea, which runs through the centre of the town, has been widened and deepened, thus affording means for vessels of from three to four hun dred tons burthen, to take in and discharge their cargoes at the wharf-side, without risk or damage, an object of importance not only in point of security to the goods, but also in the saving of expense usually Incurred for lighter charges. The nature of the country through which the line will pass is most favourable in its facilities for Construction : itis nearly all a dead level. The cost of construction will be as low as that of any line in the kingdom; and the Company will not have to encounter the opposi tion of the owners of the land and estates through which the line will pass, they being, as far as can be ascertained, most favourably dis posed towards the undertaking. It will be seen that the proposed line combines all the elements of a profitable railway ; it has a seaport town as one of the termini ; it passes through a rich and productive agricultural district, to the great seats of manufacture and. consumption, each being a certain source of traffic; and It affords ready communication with the Southern, Northern, and ➢lidland Counties. It is intended to apply for power in the Act to allow 4 per cent. interest upon deposits, until the completion of the Line. Applications for Shares may be made on the subjoined form, ad dressed to the Provisional Committee, at the Office of the Company, 14, Birchin-lane, Lombard-street, London; or to the Solicitors. No person need apply for Shares unless the application is accom panied by an unexceptionable reference. A certain number of shares will be reserved for owners of land on the line, and for parties resident in the logality through which the line will pass. FORM OF APrLICATION.
