LONDON AND PORTSMOUTH RAIL-
WAY DIRECT, with a BRANCH to CHICHESTER
and BOGNOR, terminating in CAPACIOUS DOCKS at Ports-
rnouth.
Capital £1,200,000 in 24,000 Shares of iO/. each.
Deposit, 2/. per share.
The Provisional Committee are proceeding with the necessary
arrangements connected with the Branch advertised to Chichester,
and an active survey of the line is being prosecuted for carrying
into effect the original intention of this Company for constructing
the intended Railway between London and Portsmouth by the most
direct and practicable line, as they have throughout acted under the
conviction that any other or more circuitous line must only entail
on the passengers and transit of goods between those places addi-
tional cost of conveyance, in proportion to the extra length adopted,
Without any corresponding benefit being derived.
It is with much satisfaction the Committee are enabled to state
that the reports: hey arc now receiving daily from the surveyors on
the line, are most favourable and encouraging in the highest degree
as to the facilities for prosecuting their task, and the high apprecia-
tion in which the proposed undertaking is held by the local residents,
and the Committee are even able at this stage of their proceedings
. .

to announce that it is already accurately ascertained that the sections
lof the more intricate parts of the line are not only easily practicable,
but that neither tunnel nor any formidable excavations will have to
be to be encountered.
The promoters of. and the Provisional Committee of Manage-
reent, of this undertaking, abstain from fully publishing the measure
'until the results of the surveys will enable them to lay the exact
route of the main line itself, and of the respective branches, in de-
tail, before the public, so that efficient means of investigation may
be afforded, which can alone secure public support and the sanction
of the Legislature.
The proposed Direct line, which will pass through Guildford and
Godalming, was submitted to the attention of apublic meeting, held
at Guildford on the 25th instant, at which the mayor, John Small-
piece, Esq., presided, when a Committee of the inhabitants of that
borough was appointed to take into censisleration the best means of
securing to Guildford and Godalming the advantages of such mode
of communication.
Any informatiou required may, in the mean time, be obtained at
the offices of the Company, 7, John-street, Adelphi, whore appli-
cations for shares will be reeeived (post-paid) ; and also to the

PROSPECTUS.
Experience has fully proved that the business of insurance is
more satisfactorily conducted by public companies than by private
individuals.

This fact is universally admitted with respect to Fire and Life
Assurance, and since the alteration of the law, which now affords
the same protection to Marine Insurance, a growing favour is daily
'manifesting itself in this department towards the security and stabi-
lity of such associations.
The general expansion of commerce, and the transfer to the
public of the trade of the East India Company, who were always
their own underwriters, obviously make room for another Marine
Insurance Company, in addition to those which have been for some
time so respectably and beneficially established in the metropolis.
The Directors propose to introduce such clauses in their policies
as will tend to prevent litigation, and facilitate the speedy settle-
ment of claims, and whilst they offer every practicable advantage
and indemnity to the assured, they feel confident that by a prudent
and careful management they shall be able to afford ample remuner-
ation to the proprietors.
The parties already interested in the Society securing at once a
hrge connection, it is proposed to commence business immediately.
The Directors reserve to themselves authority to frame such
rules and regulations ; to adopt such arrangements with respect to
to the Deed oi Settlement, Charter, or Act of Parliament ; and to
alter and amend the terms of this Prospectus, as to them shall seem
best for the general interest of the society.
It is not expected that the calls will exceed 25 per Cent.
London, 11th of June, 18.36.
Application for Shares, in the form following, may be addressed
to Wm. Richardson, Esq., 1, Walbrook, until Thursday, the 30th
Inst. Request to have name inserted for Shares

ration of obtaining the whole, or such part of them as may be

to sign such Deed or Instrument as may be determined on and

afflicted very severely with an acute pain in my leg, thigh, and hip, from
'which I.cotild get no rest either night or day. Having applied to several
7riedical persons, all of whom differed in their description of the complaint,
I resorted to the shop of Mr. Drewry, medicine vender, in Derby, lbr a
box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills ; and after taking two doses, I
found considerable relief, and the third entirely cured me, with the ex.
ception of leaving a slight numbness in the parts affected. This cure
°ught to be known for the benefit of those attacked with a similar corn
