The style of pre paring PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS iS peculiar to himself, and combines scientific skill with great accuracy; and though numbers of people unacquainted with the business, and others, have of late years att, meted imita tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious compounds, neither possessing the agre able flavour nor the medicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters. Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders, and make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases.

The advantages of Railway Communication, both to the country through which it passes and to the Projectors, when prudently undertaken and carried out, are too well known mid apreciated to need any arguments in its favour. This Railway will be twenty-five miles in length, and ia intended to connect the important towns of Hastings, (including St. Leonardo.) Rye, and Tenterden, and the adjacent country, with the South Eastern Railway at Headcorn, and the forms required by the Standing Or ders, preparatory to applying for an Act having been com plied with, it is intended to go to Parliament in the ensuing Session, for the necessary powers to carry the undertaking into effect. A single line of rails will be quite sufficient for the anti cipated traffic of the proposed Railway, and Mr. Erring_ ton on behalf of Mr. Locke. having examined the plans and sections, has estimated the expense of constructing a single Line, including bridges for a double line, and sta tions and sidings at £3.15,000. Th e P rov i s i ona l Com mittee, from thir knowledge of the di s t r i c t an d f rom the best information they can obtain, estimate the cost of land and compensation, Parliamentary expenses, Etc. at £55,000, making a total capital of £400,000, which they feel confident will be amply sufficient for the construction of the Line. The Committee have made careful inquiries from the most authentic sources, namely the Proprietors of Coaches and other Conveyances on the line of the proposed Rail way ; the result of which is given in the annexed Table, shewing a present traffic of £737 per week, exclusive of a considerable amount of private traffic, the returns of which cannot be ascertained. This traffic, according to the computation allowed by Parliamentary Committees, as the result of the incrersed facilities of Railway communication, and which is below the average, as shewn by experience, would make tbe re ceipts on the proposed Railway amount to £1474 per week, making a gross annual income of . From which deduct for working expenses 40 per et. 30,660 Leaving a Nett Income of £45,988 Or upwards of 11 per cent on the estimated outlay. The Committee have the satisfaction to state, that they have entered into an arrangement with the Directors of the South Eastern Company (subject to the approbation of their Proprietors), by which that Company will engage at any time, within five years from its opening, to take a lease of the Hastings Line for twenty-one years, at such a rent as shall guarantee to the Proprietors 4 per cent. per annum on the cost of its construction to the extent of the estimate, with a moiety of the nett surplus profits beyond the rental; thus giving to the Proprietors of this undertaking the opportunity of working the contemplated Line themselves for five years, with the option, should it be deemed more advantageous at any time within that period, of requiring the South Eastern Company to take a lease for twenty-one years, at a rental, securing to the Proprietors a certain fair return for their capital, with a proportion of the surplus benefits likely to arise from a union of management, and a consequent reduction of ex penses. - The Committee have looked carefully through the last Census, and find that the population in the immediate neighbourhood of the proposed line amounts to upwards of 60,0000. And upon examining the returns made at the respective Custom Houses of Hastings and Rye and Shoreham, the Committee find that the present exports from Hastings and Rye exceed those of Shoreham, with out allowing for any increase, which will unquestionably be caused by the intended Railway. Two months' notice will be given of all Calls ; and not more than £2. 10s. per share will be called for at one time. Power will be applied for in the Act to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum, on Deposits and paid up Calls. Applications for shares to be made to Messrs. Aaroar. SEWELL, &MOORES, Throgmorton Street, London; Mr. FOWLE, Mint Street, Rye; Mr. SHEWELL, 25, Token house Yard, Loudon ; Messrs. REYNOLDS & SON, Liver pool; and Mr. JOHN DUNCVFT, Manchester.
