THN SOUTHAMPTON AND SWIM Or ENGLAND
TRAM. AND PROPNIPTY PROTNCTION ANIOCIATIOL—
This manolation was established at Southampton in
1887, by well-known members of the mercantile com•
munity there, and it has been eminently suoceesful
under their care and supervision. Our readers may
not be aware that there are forty Trade Protection
Societies throughout the kingdom those that are
well conducted being of great service in the collection
of debts and the preventing of frauds. The society
we now refer to was formed by gentlemen who we
are told have been long subscribers to different Lon-
don societies, but to a great extent unavailingly.
ISLAS OF WIORT SAILWAY.—This project is, we
understand, revived. The plan embraces a oommu-
nicatinn from Ryde and Cowes, vitt Newport to
Sandown, Shanklin, and Veutnur, avoiding the hilly
part of the country.

BERMS ANL) HANTS EXTENSION RAILWAY.—The
prospectus of a company which has been formed for
the completion of the unfinished portion of the line
between Devizes and Hungerford, has just been
issued ; and from the influential names which ap.
pear on the list of Directors, we have every hope
that the project will be carried to a successful result.
Among them are the Marquis of Ailesbury, the
Right Hon. T. H. S. Fstcourt, M.P., Lord Ernest
Bruce, M.P., T. Baring, Esq., M. P., Captain Glad.

M.P., Admiral Monsague, F. Newman Rogers, Esq.,
and the Rev. W. T. Wyld.
ANDOVER. —Harvest has become pretty general in
this neighbourhood, and the crops bid fair to equal
those of last year, the late rains having had a belled.
cial effect on the crops generally.
