111-IE INTERNATIONAL SUPPLEMEN-
TARY EXHIBITION of 1862.
Although the Great txhibition Building, now in course of
erection, covers nearly 25 acres of ground, yet there remains
a very large number of intending- Exhibitors who have been
necessarily excluded by the want of space; This has caused
great disappointmtnt, both at home 'and abroad, to many
who had made preparations for the exposition of their pro-
ductions,

To meet this want, and at the same time to give facilities
for the sale of the goods which will be Collected from all parts
of the world, it Company has been formed, the Capital of
which is subsciibed, for the purpose of erecting on a spot
closely contiguous tO the Great Exhibition 12uilding' an
Ornamental Structure designed by Sir JOSEPH PAXTON,
where the Exhibitors will have the advantage of a Building
in every respect applicable for a favourable display of their
goods, and with the priVilege of selling the same to the vast
concourse of visitors who will inevitably be attracted to Lon-
don during the present year.
The Building will be called "The International Supple-
mentary Exhibition," end will cover about three acres of
around. The who's of the space for exhihition will be upon
the ground floor, and upon the walls, there being no galleries,
and such is the perfection of the design, that all parts will be
equally well lighted.
A provisional contract has been entered into with an emi-
nent contractor for the erection of the Building, which is to
be completed, under a heavy penalty, on or before the 15th
day of May next. The charges will be—
For floor space l2s. per square foot.
For wall apace 6s. •
Persons desirous of obtaining space must apply at the Offices
of the Company, having previously paid to the credit of the
Trustees, at the City Bank, Threadneedle-street, or at the
Agra Bank, 27, CanhOtu:street, the amount payable upon the
space applied for, which will be allotted according to the
priority of application.
The names of the Trustees are—
Sir ROBERT WALTER CARDEN, Alderman, Chair-
man of the City Bank.
Mr. Alderman FINN'S, Director of the Agra Bank.
WILLIAM JACKSON, Esq., M.P.
If from any cause the Building should not be completed, or
if the space applied for should not be allotted, the amount of
the deposit-money will be returned in full.
Further particulars may be obtained at the Temporary
Offices of the Company, 42, New Bridge-street, Blacktriars,

The Italian Government has granted to this Company the
definitive Concession for the Railway frcm Turin to Savona,
with a branch to Acqui, by means of which branch the most
direct access will be secured to the Mediterranean from the
whole system of Italian Railways; whilst the sea-coast line
now being constructed from Nice to Genoa will complete the
connexion with all the Railways of France.
The leading features of the Concession arc :-
1. The use of the Government line from Turin to Car-
mag-nola, 16 miles, subject only to a toll of 10 per cent.
of the gross receipts.
2. A Government Subvention, or free gift, of 10,000.000 f.
(X 400,000).
3. A Communal Subvention of 2,000,000 f. (00,000).
4. A Government guarantee of a minimum receipt of
£1,600 per mile per annum on the branch to Acqui.
The distance from Turin to Savona i5....90
The length of the branch line to Acqui...3o „

Total 120 miles.

Responsible contractors, from whom substantial guarantees
will be taken, have engaged to execute the whole work, in-
cluding purchase of land, stations, rolling stock, and all in-
cidental expenses, together with payment of interest at 6 per
cent on the capital during construction, for the sum of
£2,408,000, being at the rate of £20,000 per mile over 'lie entire
distance ; but as the subventions of £lBO,OOO will come in aid
of this amount,rthe real cost of the Railway to the share-
holders is virtually reduced to £16,000 per mile.
The population adjacent to the line amounts to 250 inhabi-
tants per kilometre, whilst the population of the seven
Southern Departments traversed by the great line from Paris
to the Mediterranean does not exceed 80 inhabitants per
kilometre.

The gross annual receipts on the Italian State Railways
exceed £2,500 per mile per annum. The concurrent testi-
mony of the Government Commissions and the Chamber of
Commerce of Savona shows that a traffic at the rate of £2,300
per mile may be confidently reckoned on this line from the
commencement, and that the gross revenue may be expeated
rapidly to rise to £2,800 per mile per annum.
Assuming a traffic of £2,300 per mile only, the gross annual
receipts on 120 miles will be £276,000 ; from which deduct
Working Expenses at 45 per cent. (which is above the Govern-
ment average) on 101 miles constructed by the Company,
Z 117,640 ; Toll to the Government on 16 miles, £3,700 ; Rent
of Station at Turin, £6OO ; Total, £111,940. Leaving a net
profit of £164,060. Out of this amount there will be required
for the payment of interest on the obligations at 6 per cent.,
467,680 ; Sinking Fund for repayment of ditto, £5,640 ; Total,
£73,320. Leaving 400,740 profit for the shareholders, equiva-
lent to a dividend of more than 10 per cent.
During the construction of the line, interest at the rate of 6
per cent. per annum will be paid half-yearly on all instal-
ment from the date of the respective payments.
One-half of the Share Capital having been taken in Italy,
the remaining half, viz., 20,000 Shares, is now offered to the
English Public.
Prospectuses and Forms of Applications for Shares may be
obtained on application to the London D'rectors at the Com-
pany's Offices, or to Mr. Lewis H. Haslewood, 7, Lothbury,
London.
No application will be entertained if sent in after Saturday,
the Bth inst.

THE PHOSPHORISED NERVINE TONIC.—The
New Chemical Combination et Phosphatic Salts, Quinine,
Iron, &c., containing all the Essential Constituents of the
Blood, Brain, and Nerve substance.—Great philosophical and
hemical research has led to the discovery of this invaluable
remedy in its present perfect state, agreeable to the palate,
and innocent in its action—still presery np.; its wonderful
properties, affording immediate relief, at once reinvigorating
and restoring with magical rapidity the most debilitated con-
stitutions, insuring health, increased strength, energy, and a
redoubled development of the muscular system, and perma-
nently curing all who suffer from SPERMATROPIIY,
Diseases of the KIDNEYS, BLADDER, and all URINARY
DEPOSITS, which cause incapacity and degeneracy, total
and partial prostration, and every other exhaustive derange-
ment of the system. It regenerates all the important ele-
ments of the human frame (when emasculated by youthful
indiscretions), and enables man to fulfil his most sacred obli-
gations.

attempted

comparatively little of actual
Weno gain. That That WC have lest
latter six months is due only to the difficulties of
invasion in a country like this, the necessity for time
to prepare half a million of soldiers, the courage of
the Southern Volunteers, and the individual cowar-
dice of the Northern mercenaries. It is, however,
undeniable that the defensive policy, besides the
moral stain on an army that awaits repeated and
endless attack, and the exhaustion of a country
which is the scene of war, has given the enemy an
uninterrupted opportunity to prepare a gigantic
host, and to arrange it at leisure, for the full trial
of relative strength when the seasons permit the
resumption of hostilities. While the political
leaders of the South have been reposing in dreams
of approaching peace, and while our accomplished
captains of Engineers have been expending their
remarkable scientific ingenuity in the erection of
works as wonderful and almost as extensive, and
quite as valuable, as the Chinese wall, to resist in-
vading forces from a given direction, the enemy
have gradually and at leisure gathered up their im-
mense resources and concentrated their tremendous
energies to envelope the Confederacy with the armies
and fleets, and to penetrate the interior from some
one of many alternative points. Although they can
now do nothing, they have their general programme
in perfect order for execution when the weather
changes in the ordinary course of the earth
round the sun ; and at this moment we find our-
selves in the face of superior forces wherever we
lock, whether to the North, the East, or the
West, or the South itself. General Sydney John-
ston has to strain every nerve to prevent the
military as well as geographical heart of the country
from slipping out of his grasp. Generals Joseph
Johnston and Beauregard are held by M'Clellan on
the Potomac as in a vice. A gigantic armament is
ready to attempt the descent of the Mississippi and
their fleets on the Atlantic seacoast and the Gulf
are too freshly before the public attention to require
remembrance. Such are the fruits of a policy purely
defensive. Without even the hesitation which
would come of a possible interruption, the enemy
have thus surrounded the Southern Confederacy;
and, if permitted to repeat as often as may be de-
sired their efforts to penetrate its heart, they will
necessarily attain the place and the time where
success awaits them. There is now but one chance
of escape from the net that has been coolly drawn
around us ; it is to concentrate our energy on one
point and cut it through ; to convert:our defensive
into an offensive war, and transfer the scene of at
least a part of these hostilities to the enemy's own
country. Situated as we are, it is only possible at
one,point, and that is Kentucky. If the force that
we are dispersing to the four corners of the conti-
nent every day, to meet new menaces, were col-
lected under the hand of General Sydney Johnston
till a column was formed sufficient to enable him to
manoeuvre with some possibility of success over the
plains of that region he might hurl back the array
in front of him at present, and penetrate the State
of Ohio. The attainment of this object would ren-
der worthless all the plans of the enemy. The circle
of armies would be in the condition of the constric•
tor whose back has been broken, the scene of war
would be transferred to his own territory, and every
one who has witnessed the ravages of armies in any
of the invaded districts of Virginia knows what a
priceless blessing is designated in that brief phrase.
He would be attacked beyond his defences. The
alarm and confusion of the United States would
paralyse its Government and its Generals, and the
entire arrangement, by which we suffer now and
dread great disasters in future would be imme-
diately reversed. We have pointed to the General
commanding the Confederate forces in Kentucky as
the person to whom this business should be intrusted,
because he is the only one in position, at this point
of the game, to undertake an advance on the enemy
with probabilities of success, even if sufficient forces
could be allotted to the others. No natural obstacles
encumbered his path as in the case of Polk and
Beauregard. A concentration of troops now em-
ployed on the sea-coast and at other points where
no vital blow can be either given or received is all
that is necessary to:him for effecting this great end,
To form such a concentration it will be necessary to
leave some portions of the frontier without other
protection than the inhabitants of the neighbouring
country can afford, but this will, in most cases, be
found more than sufficieht against the attacks that
were only intended to withdraw our troops from
real points of strategy ; and, even If otherwise, they
must for a brief time be left to take their chance
till the blow that will relieve them, with the whole
Confederacy, can be struck where only it can be
delivered. At present General Johnston confronts
superior forces of the enemy under Buell, one of the
most cautious, painstaking, and able Generals on the
other side. General Buell has now, immediately in
front of Johnston, an army of 76,000 men, and can
bring to bear on us, at other given points, 30,000
more. What the Confederate commander has may
not be stated, but it is probably enough to hold his
present strong position against any numbers that
might attack him there. But the enemy has the
choice to attack him there, or to pass him on either

That this is the plan of Buell is now no
at Glasgow, 30 miles to the eastward of Bowling-
green, threatening the rear of General Johnston,
while it is in easy supporting distance of two other
posts held in strong force by the enemy. If the plan
of Buell is successful, it may result in a great
disaster. To defeat him it is absolutely necessary
that more men should at once be sent to Bowling-
green. General Johnston must have a force sufficient
to attack Buell in front with good chance of success,
and by doing so will not only defeat his scheme on
the centre of the Confederacy, but immediately
transfer the war to the State of Ohio, and
thus save the whole South from the great
danger of being overrun in the fine weather of the
coming spring. We are satisfied that, beyond theh

:The report of the keeper of Holywood Cemetery
that up to the 12th inst. 540 Confederate soldiers
had been buried at that place, was one well calcu-

To account for this seeming excessive mortality
among our brave defenders we may state that to
within a very recent period it had been the practice
in the army of the Potomac to retain all sick and
disabled soldiers in the scanty and ill-provided

S7'. THOMAS'S .HOSPITAL.

(From the Times' City Article.)
The following relates to the Charing-cross Rail-
way and St. Thomas's Hospital :
" Charing-cross Railway, London.bridge Statical.
Feb. 1, 1862.
Sle,—The letter signed 'A,' inserted in your City
Article of Thursday last, being calculated to mislead the
public as to certain matters of fact in reference to the affairs
of the Charing-cross Railway and St. Thomas's Hospital, I
have to request that you will do me the favour to insert
the following corrections in the same place.
"1. The offer which your correspondent refers to as
having been made by the hospital a month ago, to give the
company possession of the land required for their purposes,'
was only made on the express condition that the title of the
hospital was accepted, a proceeding which the Lord Chan-
cellor intimated, on giving his judgment upon the appeal
heard before him on Wednesday last, would be placing the
company under duresse in this respect, and was a coursehe
could not approve of. His words were these :---
" Motives of humanity dictate that a reasonable time
should be allowed to you to go, and, if I saw a proceeding
on the part of the company that really would interfere with
your having that reasonable time, that would, of course,
very much incline me against them ; but if I find a pro-
ceeding on your part which is to exclude them from every
portion of the land, until by the duresse of that exclusion
you have compelled them to adopt some course of conduct
for perfecting the title which you think it right to dic-
tate, that is a proceeding which I cannot altogether ap-
prove of.'
"2. With reference to the further statement of your
correspondent, that the governors obtained a resolution
from Parliament admitting the fact 'that the construction
of the railway must destroy the hospital,' I have only to
observe that the resolutions which stand recorded in the
Journals of Parliament arc precisely to the contrary effect.
It is true the governors endeavoured to impress that view on
the minds of the committees, but whether they succeeded
let the following resolution of the Commons' Committee
serve to indicate :
" The committee are unable to adopt the opinion of the
Governors of the Hospital,—that the construction of the
railway as proposed necessitates the entire removal of the
hospital to another site, however expedient such removal
may be; but the committee consider that it is a case for
liberal compensation, on account of the injurious effect on
the north wing as now occupied, the risk of some annoyance
being occasionally felt in other parts of the hospital, and the
probability of a rearrangement being required of the other
hospital premises. If the Governors should consent to the
compensation being named by the committee, they will
name a sum, or otherwise they will leave the case to the
operation of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, or to
arbitration, as the Governors may prefer. 'The committees
moreover, think that in case the Governors shall accept
any of these propositions, and decide on not opposing the
Bill in its future stages, the expense hitherto incurred by
the,Governors should be borne by the company.'
" It is also right to allude to another statement made in
your City Article of Saturday last, to the effect that a con-
siderable portion of the money required for the purchase of
the hospital property is reported to have been lent to the
company by the Bank of England for that purpose, on secu-
rity furnished by the South-Eastern Company. That report
is:entirely without foundation.
" I am, Sir, yours truly,
S. SMILES, Secretary.
