THAMES HAVEN DOCK and RAIL
WAY to LONDON, by Horndon, Orsett, Upmin,
ster, and Hornchurch, to join the EASTERN COUN•
TIES RAILWAY at Romford.
Capital £450,000, in 9,000 Shares of 501. each-51. paid.
Already Incorporated by Act of Parliament.

This undertaking is founded on the principle of substituting
twenty-seven miles of rail way travelling for thirty-six miles of
river navigation ; the advantages to be gained by this substitu-
tion, in point of time, safety, and convenience, will be instantly
appreciated by all who have experienced the trouble; danger,
and delay of landing from, or embarking on board steam-ves-
sels, by aid of small boats, at the different stairs below London-
bridge; more especially when women and children are of the
party, and when the state of the tide renders it necessary to
land or embark at night.
The Thames Haven Dock is situat -d 36 miles down the
River, with such deep water at the entrance as to admit the
largest vessels at low water. The increase of steam naviga-
tion, not only in the number of vessels, but in their size and
power, renders a Dock of this description placed at the very
entrance of the Thames, in deep water, and secured from all
winds, an acquisition of the greatest value, not only to steam
passengers, but to the shipping generally, as all the delays, ex-
penses, and hazards of collision incident to the river navigation
will be greatly diminished, and, in many instances, absolutely
removed; hence it may reasonably be expected that a great
proportion of the trade of the port of London, especially that
which requires large wharfage or warehousing accommodation,
will be transferred to the Thames Haven, no less to the relief of
the crowded river than to the profit of the proprietors.
The advantages to passengers are a convenient landing or
embarking place —a shorter voyage—and the means of reaching
London within an hour, without increase of expense. It will
prevent the necessity of embarkations at night—bring Ostend,
Calais, and Boulogne always within a daylight voyage, and
render the journey to Havre as short as by Southampton, at
half the price. It will also enable visitors to Southend, Herne
Bay, Margate, and Ramsgate, to reach those places at such
times of the day as may be most convenient to their business
(an advantage that has done so much for Brighton), as boats
can go and return alt day long It will bring the important
dockyard of Sheerness within an hour-and-a-half's communica-
tion with the Admiralty, in case of a northern war a matter of
the very first consequence ; and give that facility generally to
steam navigation, which the crowded state of the River now pre-
cludes. The Dock will be constructed complete for 230,000/.,
the contract being for 209,0001., without warehouses or build-
ings. The Company has already agreed for the purchase of
200 acres of land. The Railway does not present a single
engineering difficulty, and may be formed for about 20,0001.
a mile.

It will not escape the most careless observation that this
enumeration of the direct advantages of the project omits many
collateral and ultimate sources of gain to the Company, of far
larger extent, and that may hereafter profitably employ a ca-
pital of ten times the amount that it is now intended to raise.
The reduction of 6s. a ton in the price of Coals, when de-
livered at Thames Heaven, will naturally attract to that spot
all those trades and manufactures which call for a large con-
sumption of them. Ship-building, and the many works inci-
dent to it, such as sail-making, rope-making, &c., c.itild be
there carried on with greater facility and despatch ; and rent,
for the extensive premises such works require, would be in-
calculably lower.
A satisfactory arrangement has been made with the Eastern
Counties Railway Company, for the use of their line from
Rumford to London. .

It only remains to be observed, that 4,2.00 Shares have been
already taken and registered, and that, as all the usual pre-
liminary expenses have been already incurred and pri,d, and
the Act of Parliament obtained, no further Call will be made till
all the Shares created by the Act (9,000) have been subscribed.

THE VOICE CONDUCTORSinvented by
Mr. E. SOLO LIONS are the most powerful instru-
ments for the relief of deafness. From their minute construc-
tion, and convenient form, deaf persons are enabled to wear
them entirely unseen, and they may be inserted and removed
with the greatest facility. By their use the lowest whisper
breathed at a public assembly vibrates on the organs of hear-
ing in such a pleasant manner, as to afford the greatest relief
to those labouring under the distressing ailment of deafness.
Mr. E. SOLoMONS PATENT SPECTACLES possess
the advantage of modifying bright and strong light transmitted
through the various humours of the eye, so as to render vision
most perfectly distinct by day, or lamps or candles at night,
conveying also a sense of coolness and pleasure to the organ,
with the additional recommendation of being free from the per-
nicious attributes of common glasses. Their superlative ex-
cellence is attested by the following and many ott.er eminent
practitioners, who have examined, used, and recommended
them in preference to all others :

The public are respectfully cautioned against some unprinci-
pl ed empirics who have assumed Mr. E. S.'s name and pro-
fession, and are from his immediate neighbourhood, and,
with the most unblushing effrontery, issuing from the daily
press puffs about " Newly-invented Spectacle Lenses," and
Hearing Instruments, which are fraudulently set forth as pos-
sessing the most wonderful powers. The Glasses are highly
detrimental to the sight. The names of some obscure apothe-
caries and others are used in this absurd quackery, to deceive
the public into a belief that these pernicious glasses possess
some very supernatural powers. These common Lenses may
be purchased for one shilling the pair, and for which the most
exorbitant charges are exacted by the parties, against whom
th public are now respectfully cautioned. Mr. E. S. has re-
eeived for his invention " Royal Letters Patent," and the pa-
tronage of the Royal Family.

Syphilis, with that delicacy and secrecy they have hitherto ob-

Gonorrhoea, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so preva-
