Production of Si;nor VERDI'S New Grand Opera,
LA. FOB ZA DEL DESTINO.

This Grand Opera was written and composed by the ex-
press command of his Majesty the Emperor of Rus=ia, and
was produced with the greatest eclat at the Imperial Opera
et' Mt. Petersburg last year.
The four principal roles were composed exp:essly for the
following Artistes, viz. :
Madlle. LA.GRUA, Madame DIDTEE,SIgnor GRAZIANI,

and Signor T , MBE

And these same Artistes will sustain the FIRM characters,
on the production of the Work at the Royal Ita lan Opera.
Production of MEYERBEER'S Grand Historical Opera,
L'ETOILE DU NORD.

It will be remembered that this chef d'ceuvre of the great
composer was produced in the latter par of the Season of
1855. It had only been performed on Seven occasions when
the calamitous burning of the old Theatre took place, entirely
consuming the immense mass of material so lately prepared
for its representation. It may, therefore, be regarded as
almost a new Work in this country. Since tree erection of
the present Theatre, four out of the five great Works of
MEYERBEER have been reproduced, viz.—" Les Huguenots,"
"Le Prophete," "Dinorah," and "Roberto i 1 Diavol •."
The fifth, viz.—" L'Etoile du Nord," will be given during
the present Season, and will be mounted with entirely Nt w
Scenery, Costumes and Appointments.

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

ties in the two colonies at the rates prevalent there. These

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 closeness 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 lino 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 brought 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, Castletownt
Ramsey, and Laxey : 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 Ports 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
small as to render the Island most advantageous as a per-
manent place of residenee.
Her Majesty's Government and the Local 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 much
care, by competent persons, and well supported by Official
Returns, it is confidently expected that the Traffic will 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 5,500
Parcels and Mails

£13,150
Working Expanses at even 50 per Cent. 6,500

Leaving for Dividend MAO

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
vane 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 rminent Contractor's firm have agreed to purchase
the land. make the Railway, provide and fit up all Stations,
furnish-Rolling Stock 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.

1. This Company has been constituted as an auxiliary to
the " Contract Corporation."
2. The Company will undertake the construction of Rail-
ways and o her public works as die incu shed trom the busi-
ness of the Contract Corporation, which consists principally
of the negotiation and acceptance of contracts, and the finan-
cial measures connected therewith. _

3. The two Companies will work in harmony, but inde-
pendently of each other.
4. The opera' ions of this Company will be conducted by the
eminent contractors Messrs. Smith and Knight, who have
transferred their whole business and interest on highly ad-
Vantagcous terms; all their valuable plant and existing
contracts (including that for the construction of the Royal
Sardinian Railway recently entered into) being ceded to the
Company. The plant will be paid for in cash, and the re-
maining interest principally in shares, such shares being
taken with £5 only per share credited thereon.
5. The numerous applications to Parliament in the present
se-stun for powers to c nistru I branch and ad itional rail-
ways, and the well-known increasing demand for railways
and other public works, not only in Europe and the colonies.
but in all parts of the civilised world, open a wide field fer
the profitable employment of capital.
6. The Direc ors consider that, wl h all the elements of
success, viz., a large working capital, the assistance of a
powerful financial corporation, caupled with the experience
an i superintendence of parties conversant with the practical
details of the business, with an identity of interest, the pros-
pects of the Company are such as are seldom brought under
public notice,
7. In the event of no allotment of shares being made, the
deposit will be returned in full. Should a less number of
shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be
made available towards the payment on allotment, and the
balance, if any, returned to the applicant. Prospectuses and
forms of apilicat on for s ares may be obtained at the offi:es
of the Company, of the Brokers, and of the Solicitors.
