The experience of the last few years proves that for rail-
way companies suburban and metropolitan traffic is the
most remunerative. What might have been the profits
made had the taking of building land by railway companies
been allo ,ved needs but the simple fact stated, that land at
the various suburban termini of the London railways has
in many cases more than trebled in value.
This Association is formed to carry through a scheme
which embraces the possession of a line of railway starting
from the large manufacturing town of Belfast to Bangor,
via Holywood, having not only a large and increasing
suburban, but sea-side traffic, both for permanent residences
and excursions, also the advantage of land with sea frontage
for building purposes. Its success can therefore hardly
admit of a doubt. That portion of the Railway, 4i miles
of which (from Belfast to Holywood) has been open since
1848, yields an enormous return on its cost of construction ;
and since the 18th of May last, by the opening of an addi--
tional 7+ miles to Bangor, nearly 70 per cent., on previous
traffic has been gained, and without a very large increase
of rolling stock the numbers seeking conveyance cannot be
carried. The line, which is at present single, will therefore
at once be doubled, and ample rolling stock provided.
The traffic returns show, in the 41 miles, the following
results :

The mileage traffic over the 7} miles will undoubtedly
more than double the above when the Company has pro-
vided means for its development.
Belfast is acknowledged to be one of the most prosperous
cities in the United Kingdom. With the adjoining manu-
facturing towns it has a population of 190,000. The
population of Dublin is 254,000. The cost of the Dublin
and Kingstown line of railway, unsurpassed as an in-
vestment (the £lOO stock being now £200), was
£65,000 per mile. The cost of the railway from
Belfast to Bangor, for a double line is, including building
land, £50,000 per mile, and there arc in Belfast alone
above 40,000 mill hands, all of whom are discharged from
work at one o'clock on Saturday afternoon, and resort
in such numbers to Bangor, that during the year 1864,
previous to the opening of the railway beyond Holywood,
no less than 208,000 persons visited Bangor by steamer
alone, exclusive of those by the road. The steamer con-
veying these large numbers was only five months on the
station. The large manufacturing towns of Lurgan, Lisburn,
and Portadown also contribute to the Bangor traffic.
The Belfast, Holywood, and Bangor Railway Company
have, by a bill passed this session, become possessed of the
4 miles from Belfast to Holywood, and thus secured 12
miles of rail, giving direct communication from the great
manufacturing town of Belfast to Bangor, which town may
fairly be considered the Brighton of Belfast. It can be
reached in twenty minutes. Its beauty of scenery is un-
surpassed. Bathing can be had at all states of tide, and it
is very popular with all classes for residences and excur-
sions.
When this Association has carried out its plan of having
first-rate hotel accommodation, bathing places at Holywood
and Bangor, winter-gardens, concert-room, and esplanade,
the result cannot fail of being highly remunerative to the
shareholders. The traffic, when all the arrangements have
been carried out, has been estimated by competent judges
at a minimum of £1,500 per week, which will pay as high
a rate of dividend as the shareholders in the Dublin and
Kingstown Railway receive.
The demand for houses at Bangor and along the line is
so great that in the small town of Bangor, as it at present
exists, rates are paid for houses for the summer season far
beyond those of the most fashionable English watering
places, and farm-houses along the line are fully occupied
by visitors.
An agreement has been entered into by which this Com-
pany will acquire not only the 12 miles of railway from
Belfast, via Holywood, to Bangor, but also become the owners
of very valuable building land on the sea-shore at Bangor,
with a further quantity at Holywood, and the power of tak-
ing further eligible sites. The shareholders in the Railway
Company taking their shares at par in this Company ; and
the vendors of the land above-mentioned show their con-
fidence in the undertaking by accepting the whole of the
purchase-money in shares. Investors thus have the benefits
arising from a productive line of rail, and also the large
profits which are so well known to be made from invest-
ments in land adjoining such a line of railway.
Eminent contractors have gone over the works, and are
prepared to enter into a contract to double the line, supply
all the necessary additional rolling stock, and to construct
the esplanade, roads, hotel, baths, and other public build-
ings, and pay to the shareholders 6 per cent. on the paid-
up capital for three years from the Ist September, 1865.
An influential 'committee in Belfast will be formed.

The plans, reports, and other particulars may be seen at
the Offices of the Company.
Prospectuses and forms of application may be obtained
at the London Financial Association (Limited), South Sea
House, Threadneedle-street, the Bankers, Brokers, and
Solicitors of the Company.

This Institution is designed to supply a great national
want, viz., an asylum for the orphan daughters of sailors in
the Royal Navy and Merchants Service and of Marines.
It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic
service and provides a home free of expense for former
inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them hem the
temptations they might otherwise be exposed to.
The Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU-
TIONS to meet the increasing applications through the
recent storms and less f life at sea, and to enable them
eventually to obtain premises more commensurate with the
necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000
sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those
who may perish by war.

-ExA T THE COUNCIL CHAMBER, WHITE-
HALL, the 24th day of July, 1865, by the Lords of
her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council.

Present—Lord President, Sir George Grey, Bart.,
Mr. Milner Gibson.

Whereas by an act passed in the session of the eleventh
and twelfth years of her present Majesty's reign, intituled
"An Act to prevent until the Ist day of September, 1850,
and to the end of the then next session of Parliament, the
spreading of contagious or infectious disorders among
sheep, cattle, and other animals," and which has since
been from time to time continued by divers subsequent
acts, it is (amongst other things) enacted that it shall be
lawful for the Lords and others of her Majesty's Privy
Council, or any two or more of them from time to time to
make such orders and regulations as to them may seem
necessary, for the purpose of prohibiting or regulating the
removal to or from such parts or places as they may de-
signate in such order or orders, of sheep, cattle, horses,
swine, or other animals, or of meat, skins, hides, horns,
hoofs, or other part of any animals, or of hay, straw, fodder,
or other articles likely to propagate infection; and also for
the purpose of purifying any yard, stable, outhouse, or
other place, or any waggons, carts, carriages, or other
vehicles ; and also for the purpose of directing how any
animals dying in a diseased state, or any animals, parts
of animals, or other things seized under the provisions of
this act, are to be disposed of ; and also for the purpose of
causing notices to be given of the appearance of any dis-
order among sheep, cattle, or other animals, and to make
any other orders or regulations for the purpose of giving
effect to the provisions of the said act, and again to revoke,
alter, or vary any such orders or regulations ; and that all
provisions for any of the purposes aforesaid in any such
order or orders contained shall have the like force and
effect as if the same had been inserted in the said act ; and
that all persons offending against the said act shall for each
and every offence forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding
£2O, or such smaller sum as the said Lords or others of her
Majesty's Privy Council may in any such case by such
order direct.

And whereas a contagious or infectious disorder, of which
the nature is at present uncertain, has lately appeared, and
now prevails among cattle within the metropolis and in
the neighbourhood thereof, and it is expedient to take
measures for preventing such disorders from spreading,
Now, therefore, the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Council
do hereby, by virtue and in exercise of the powers given
by the said recited act, and by the several acts continuing
the same aforesaid, order as follows :-
1. If at the date of the publication of this order in the
"London Gazette," there shall be any cow, heifer, bull,
bullock, or ox labouring under any contagious or infectious
disorder in the possession or custody of any cowkeeper,
dairyman, or dairywoman, or of any milkman or milk -
woman, or vendor or purveyor of milk, or of any dealer in
cattle whatsoever within the City of London or within the
limits of the metropolitan police district, or if at any time
hereafter, while this present order shall continue in force
and unrevoked, any cow, heifer, bull, bullock, or ox, being
in the possession or custody of any such person as afore-
said within the said City of London or within the metro-
politan police district shall be seized or attacked with, or
be found labouring or suffering under, any such contagious
or infectious disorder, notice of the existence of such dis-
order, or of the first appearance of such disorder in or
among the cattle belonging to or in custody of any such
person as aforesaid, shall immediately thereupon be given
by the person in whose possession or custody such diseased
animals or animal shall be, to the clerk of her Majesty's
Most Honourable Privy Council in waiting at the office of
her Majesty's Privy Council at Whitehall, in the county
of Middlesex ; and it shall be lawful for the said clerk of
her Majesty's Privy Council, and for all such persons as
shall by writing under his hand authorise in that behalf
thereupon, and at all reasonable times thereafter, to in-
spect or examine all or any such diseased animals or ani-
mal, and to report to the Lords of her Majesty's Privy
Council all such information and particulars as to the na-
ture or character of such disorder as may seem to him ex-
pedient for the purpose of enabling proper regulations to
be made for preventing or checking the further propaga-
tion and increase of such disorder.
2. Every person offending against this order, and omit-
ting to give such notice or to permit such inspection and
examination as aforesaid, shall for every such offence for-
feit any sum not exceeding twenty pounds, which the jus-
tices before whom he or she shall be convicted of such
offence may think fit to impose.
