This Company has been formed for the construction of a
Railway from Douglas to Peel (passing through St. John's),
in the Isle of Man. The improved trade of these important
towns, as well as the prosperous condition and increasing
population of the island, and the rapid augmentation of the
number of visitors during late years, call for the immediate
introduction of railways.
The Agricultural capabilities of the Island are great ; and
its Mineral products are acknowledged to be rich in yield
and avove average value ; whilst around the Coast there
are extensive Fisheries, and an unlimited supply of Sea-
weed for Manure. The expense and trouble, however, of
land-carriage, have hitherto rendered these advantages com-
paratively unavailable. •
Slate Quarries are in active operation; and the quality
of the Slate is equal in olos..ness of grain and durability to
any produced from the great Welsh quarries. The Granite
near St. John's compares favourably with that now used in
the Liverpool Dock Works, and would at once, by means of
railway facilities, become available for export.
One 'of the proposed Stations on the line will be at St.
John's, where the Courts of Tynwald meet, and which, is
also the centre of the Foxdale mining district. The produce
of these mines is now brcught by land-carriage (there being
no water communication) to Douglas, a distance of nearly
ten miles, whilst Coals and other important materials, as
well as all necessaries required by the inland population,
are conveyed into the interior by the same mode. Besides
these items of traffic, the Fairs, which are frequently held
during the year in this district, must add considerably to
the annual revenue of the Company.
The principal towns are Douglas, Peel, Castletown,
Ramsey, and Laney : Douglas being the chief port, and the
great commercial depot, as well as the principal place of
arrival and departure of the steam packets plying to and
from the Island. At the port of Peel the fisheries are prin-
cipally conducted, employing upwards of 1,000 vessels;
the place of destination for the produce is Douglas ; the
route is tedious, and the transit by the existing means ex-
pensive.

- The access to the Island is easy, and the means of com-
munication with Liverpool, Fleetwood, Whitehaven,
Silloth, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, and other ports, both by
sailing and steam vessels, are frequent and convenient.
Hence, Tourists visit the Island in large numbers, above
100,000 passengers having been landed at its Porte during
the past year. Such Visitors, attracted by the antiquarian
relics, scenery, and other objects of interest, would, as a
matter of course, go by the proposed Railway from Douglas
to the interior, and across the Island to Peel.
The highest medical authorities bear testimony to the
salubrity of the climate and purity of the water. The
picturesque is united with the more solid advantage of cheap
living, provisions being abundant and comparatively inex-
pensive, whilst the rates of duties on foreign produce are so
email as to render the Island most advantageous as a per.
manent place of residence.
Her Majesty's Government and the Looal Authorities are
now expending upwards of £60,000, for the improvement of
the Ports of Douglas and Peel.
The Electric Telegraph to England has been recently
established.

The Lines of Rail will be single, with requisite sidings.
The length of Line will be about twelve miles, and the
gradients easy throughout. The landowners and popula-
tion along it are most favourable to the project.
From Statistics recently collected on the spot, with touch
care, by competent persons, and well supported by Official
Returns, it is confidently expected that the Traffic wi:l re-
turn a good Dividend upon the Invested Capital. The fol-
lowing is an Estimate of the Traffic :
Passengers, inclusive of Tourists £7,500 per annum.
Goods, Minerals, Fish, &c.. 6,500
Parcels and Mails

£13,150
Working Expenses at even 50 per Cent. 6,600

Leaving for Dividend £6,6bo

Plans, Sections, &c., of the Line are completed, and all
necessary forms are being complied with, in accordance with
the St::nding Orders of the Court of Tynwald to obtain an
Act of the Local Parliament;
Neither Imperial or Local Taxes are levied in the Island,
and those heavy charges which tend so much to reduce the
value of Railway property in England and other countries,
no less than to diminish the Shareholders Dividends, can-
not, in any degree whatever, prevail with respect to this
Lino.
An eminent Contractor's firm have agreed to purchase
the land, make the Railway, provide and fit up all Stations,
furnish Rolling Stook for working the Line, and Telegraphs,
upon satisfactory terms. Interest at 5 per cent. per Annum
will be allowed, until the opening of the Line, on the amount
paid upon shares.
An advantageous arrangement can be made with respon-
sible parties to Lease the Line for 7. 14, or 21 years.
Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained from
the Secretary, Solicitors, or Brokers of the Company.

TEETH,—Mr. ESKELL'S INVENTION in
the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following advantages :—A set of teeth, of excellent work-
Manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
Pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
Just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
