ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

The objects of the company are, first, to construct a rail- I
Way, about nine miles in length, from the A" Old-Pore-51'
Marseilles to Psdestat, to afford increased facilities for the
commerce and manufactures of the town and port ; secondly,
to acquire land on both sides of the line throughout its
length for building andother purposes, to which great value
Will be given by the construction of the railway.
The reputation of Marseilles as the first maritime city of
Prance is well known, second only to Paris in population
and wealth ; its position and capabilities give it tho com-
mand of French commerce in the Mediterranean.
Within the last ten years Marseilles has been placed in
direct railway communication with Paris and all parts of
France. Magnificent docks and warehouses have been con-
structed ; but great and rapid as those new works have been
they are still far behind the requirements of its ever-in-
creasing trade.
The old quarters of the town are being demolished to
make room for handsome streetsandpublic buildings. The
Population thus displaced aro driven to the suburbs, more
especially towards the south, where the lands of the Com-
pany aro situate.
The proposed railway, after leaving the port and town
of 300,000 inhabitants, will pass through the southern
suburb, which contains a population of 50,000, and follow
the valley to the sea, at the "Madrague do Montredon,"
from thence it will be continued for three miles along the
coast to Podestat, affording sites for the erection of factories,
With access to the sea, and direct railway communication
with the town and port, and with the Paris, Lyons, and
Mediterranean lines, by a junction with the proposed new
branch of the latter to the " Place Castellano."
The Company have contracted for the purchase of about
1,200,000 square metres of land (about 300 English acres)
situate on both sides of the proposed railway, between the
town and the "Madrague de Montredon ;" 140,082jletres
of which will be required for the construction of the line
and stations, leaving 1,060,000 metres to be sold for the
erection of first-class residences.
It has been estimated that on the completion of the rail-
Way the whole of this land will be readily sold at the price
of at least 20 francs per metre, at which rate it will produce
21,200,000 francs, or .£848,000.
The Company have also contracted for the purchase of a
'very large tract of ground beyond the "Madrague de Mon-
tredon," through which the railway will pass to Podestat.
The average cash cost to the Company of the land above
referred to is only 5/f. per metre, including the houses
already built thereon, and including also upwards of
10,000,000 metres of land (about 2,500 acres) on the coast
line for three miles beyond the' proposed terminus at
Podestat, which will thus be acquired by the Company
free of cost, and which will be made available at some
utare time by an extension of the railway and the forma-
tion of roads.

AL.A T THE COUNCIL CHAMBER, WHITE-
HALL, the 24th clay of July, 185 S, 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 Privl
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 putrifying any yard, stable, outhouse, or
other placer 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 pur-
pose of causing notices to be given of the appearance of
any disorder among sheep: cattle, or other animals, and to
make any other orders or regulations for the purpose f 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 disorder from spreading.
Now, therefore, the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Coun-
cil 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 milkwoman,
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 continuo in
force and unrevoked, any cow, heifer, bull, bullock, or
ox, being in the possession or custody of any such per-
son as aforesaid within the said City of London or within
the metropolitan 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 disorder, or of the first appearance of such dis-
order 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 there-
after, to inspect or examine all or any such diseased ani-
mals or animal, and to report to the Lords of her Majesty's
Privy Council all such information and particulars as to
the nature or character of such disorder as may seem to
him expedient for the purpose of enabling proper regula-
tions to be made for preventing or checking the further
propagation 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
offense may think fit to impose.
