TRIBUTARY LINES

In the city of Cinchmat:, as t 3 a focus, converge nn lest than six
great Pnes of eastern railway, viz., the Cincinnatti, Dayton, and
Toledo line ; the Cincinnatti, Sprimfield, and Sandusky line ; the
Cinclnnstri, Columbus, Cleveland, and New York line; the Cincin-
natti, Zanesville, Ilempfield, and Philadelphia route; the Cincin-
natti, Marietta, Wheeling, and Philadelphia line. All these various
"nee must pour tht ir contributions of passenge s Into the Cincinnatti
and
St. Louis Road, as the most direct road leading west an I south.
_We cross the following lines of railway, each of which will contri-
bUtefreight and passengers:—Commencing at Cincinnatti, and pro-
ceeding west, the Lawreneeoureh and Indianapolis, the 61 adiscn
and Indianapolis, the Jeffersonville and Indianapolis, New Albany
and
Evansville and Terre. Haute, and the Central Illinois.
Atth St.
among Louis there will concentrate a large number of railways from
e west, -
which the Pacific Railway is now rapidly construct-
"lg, With means to build it to the western boundary of Missouri.

-I—ssera were carries in steam-boats to and from Cincinnatti and ;ft.
.Weoi, and other places in the valley of the Ohio aed
e estimate of these not less than 153,006 will be through passer
gars on our road adding one•fourth for increase, we have about
ho
°'" through passengers. The lateral passengers are derived
rn the Illinois Central, the Evansville, the New Albany, the Jeffer.
sonville, and other roads, and cannot fall much below 100,000 to be
carried over two-thirds the length of the road.
WAY PASSENGERS.
The ratio of way passengers to density of population of surface
drained;, as determined from the statistics of the Pennsylvania Cen-
ral, the Baltimore and Ohio, and the incinnatti and Columbus Rail-
loads, is found to be 0'63. The elements of the Cincinnatti and St.
Li olds road are as follows :

ciency in the estimates. This does not involve coal, timber, iron,
and other minerals, which are •also left to fill deficiencies, should any
exist. We then have domestic produce—groceries and manufac-
tures—eqnal to 375,069 tons, which, for safety, are assumed to be
carried only oste-half the length of the road.

We 13x, as the basis of calculation, the following prices, viz.:—

The road is under contract to be finished, furnished, and equipped
for nine millions of dollars, and it is quite certain that the interest
and other smaller expenses, such as ollicers' salaries, &c., cannot
swell the amount above ten millions. Thus we have on ten mil-
lions a gross income of 2,878,312 dols. Allowing 45 per cent. for

A concession has been obtained by Messrs. Peto, Betts, and
Brassey, from the King of Denmark, for the construction of a system
of railways to be called the Royal Danish Railway, which shall
gradually be extended through the whole of the peninsula, affording,
with the lines already completed in Holstein, a continuous railway
communicai ion from Hamburg to Frederikshaven, opposite to Gothen-
burg, whence a line is in course of construction to Stockholm.
he terms of the concession are peculiarly favourable, the line
being secured in perpetuity, with a guarantee against competition for
a period of a hundred years.
The first section, consisting of aline from Tonning, on the Ryder, to
Bosom and Flensburg, and extending southwards to Rendsburg, has
been already surveyed by Robert Stephenson, Esq., M.P., and George
P. Bidder, Esq., and contracted for by Messrs. Peto, Betts, and Bras-
sey, and the works are in course of construction. The extent of the
line, with its branches, will be 69 English nines ; and the cost, includ-
ing all stations, land, and rolling stock, will not exceed 7,500/. per
mile. The line will be completed within 15 months from this time.
It has been thought desirable to complete, with as little delay as
possible, this important link in the chain of Danish railways, as it
will, in conjunction with the North of Europe Steam Navigation Com-
pany, at once establish a communication with the Baltic by the
shortest possible transit.
Passengers will be able to go from London and the principal ports
of England to Tonning and Flensburg (on the Baltic), in 30 to 34
hours, including the overland journey by railway;
To Copenhagen in 48 hours, including the overland journey by
railway;
And to Hamburgh in 36 hours, including the overland journey by
railway.
Tonning, a port on the Eyder, possessing all the advantages of
depth of water, andlbeing 60 miles nearer the sea than Hamburg'
p
will thus become the principle western port—the Liver 00l as it were,
of Denmark—while the advantages of Flensburg, as Pan entre 24 on
the shores of the Baltic, cannot be overrated. Situated in the bight
of a deep gulf running 20 miles inland, completely land-locked, so
that ships of the greatest draught of water may lie in safety, having
no rise and fall of tide, and therefore requiring no docks for the load-
ing and unloading of cargoes, the natural advantages of Flensburg
render it second to no port in the world for commercial purposes.
Already there is a considerable foreign trade, upwards of twenty
large vessels clearing annua`ly for the West Indies ; but when the
overland route is established, and to a saving of more than 500 miles
of dangerous and, in winter, impracticable navigation by the bkaw
and Catt,gat, is added the economy in the charges (the Sound dues
alone being equal, on fine goods, to the whole expense of the transit
by the railway), it is clear that a very large portion of the trade of
the Baltic will be poured through this channel.
Sonic idea of the enormous trade of these countries may be formed
from the fact that upwards of fourteen thousand vessels pass the
Sound annually. Their cargoes, independently of those that pass in
balla-t, may be roughly estimated at one million five hundred thou-
sand tons. The Sound dues levied thereupon at a toll varying from
one to one-and a-quarter per cent., produce a revenue of one hun-
dred ant fifty thousand pounds; we may therefore safely calculate
the value of the same at fifteen millions sterling.
For the purpose of calculating the probable return on the outlay
in constructing the railway, a careful estimate has been made of the
amount and description of goods, both import iind extort, that may
be expected to pass over the line, and the aggregate amount has been
ascertained to be little less than 200,000 tons. This is exclusive of
passengers, and of the large additional traffic that cannot fail to be
created by the establishment of th s safe and economical mode of
transit. The lee d traffic alone, as given in Government returns of
to Is received on the ordinary road, amounts at the pre-ent time to
31,000/ s year; and assuming the usual increa a through tha im-
proved fad. Meg, that is to say. doubling it, we have a. gross anntt .1
eturn of 72.0001. ; no th.tt making the largest a lowance for working
oxpensen, this branch of income alone w,ll suffice to pay an inter. at
of d per cent. on the entire capita,. [The liivl and Altona Jbir, of
itlch this is a continuation, earned last year, on a cost of near
9,7005. per mile, upwards of 7 per cent ]
It is confi catty expected that the revenue from all sources, will
ensure a return of 10 to 12 per cent. upon the outlay, but, to reduce
it to a eel tainty, the contractors, Messrs. Peto, Betts, and Brassey,
engage to take a lease of the line for fourteen years from the open-
ing tor traffic, paying the shareholders a minimum rent of 6 per
cent., and dividing equally with them the profits beyond that
amount, allowing during the construction an interest of 5 per cent.
upon the deposit and subsequent instalments; the lease to be ter-
minable at the expiration of five or ten years, by the Direct rs, on
giving twelve months' previous notice.
As a substantial security for the fulfilment of these engagements
by the contractors, a sum of 100,, 001 will be invested in the names
of the trustees, in Consols, or in such manner, and in such secur ties,
as they shall deem advisable.
The payment of the capital will be required at the following
periods, viz.:—

3/. per share on the allotment.
W. Ist July, 1853.
3/. Ist October, „
31. let January, 1851.
3/. let July, PP
Ist October „

Shareholders will be allowed to pay up the amount of their shares
between the calls, under discount of their respective maturities, at
5 per cent.

MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF
YOUTH AND MATURITY.
Dn. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the Univers!, y of
Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic
Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, 8(.4., &c.
31AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
resulting from juvenile irregn'arities and excesses, which have pro-
duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema-
ture decay at all cages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis-
eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience
in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exig-
ence secret causes of self-twinned miseries and disappointed hopes in
existence, traceable to certain pernicious .habits, to which Nervous
Debility, various forms of insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitild Marri-
ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their
endless modifications owe their almost entire Origin.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, 110 W the sting of their bitterness may be remove
and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged
in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com-
plaints, and s the only legally qualified Phygia'..” "'tut:"
of the taunts. and envy of the hypocritical and mock-merles has had
the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct
attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is
tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply
rev arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the
troßtsuent of these cases, which are too generally confided to the
care of unqualified ana Ignorant cmeitte.a, who, with their pirated
publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues
of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who
have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.
At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from
Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 11., and advice and
