preparation for the Complexion, dispelling the cloud of lan-
guor and relaxation, allaying all heat and irritability, and immedi-
ately affording the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity of
the Skin. The numerous varieties of Cutaneous Eruptions, Sun-
burn, Freckles, Tan, and Discolourations, are pleasingly eradicated
by th 4 Kalvdor, and the skin rendered delicately soft and clear. Its
purifying and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selec-
tion by the Court and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those
of the Continent of Europe, together with tha " elite" of the Aris-
tocracy and " Haute Volee," from the sultry climes of India, and the
Drawing-rooms of Calcutta and Madras, to the frozen realms of the
Czar and the Salons of St. Petersburgh and Mc scow.—Price 4s. Gd.
and Ss. 6d. per bottle.

gents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and which, by their repel-
ant action, endanger health. The only genuine has the words
"' ROWLAND'S KILYDOR" on the wrapper, and A. ROWLAND
and BON, 20, Hatton-garden. is also engraved (by desire of the
Hon. Commissioners) on the Government Stamp affixed on each

.ii " POTA'T'O DISEASE
pay attention, good reader, we beg, if you please,
To say a few words on potato di'ease.
Last year the potatoes were sadly amiss
And thousands were robbed of a needful like tills.
Nor does the calamity any way cease,
But, alas! on the contrary, seems to increase.
Ev'ry „„k, ev'ry day, tells a sorrowful tale,
That the crop of potatoes must certainly fail.
Never mind ! we must bear it as well as we can.
And try to adopt some remedial Plan.
Though potatoes are dear on account of the rot,
Let the public remember that clothing is not.
E. MOSES and SON sell habiliments cheap,
And you'll find at their warehouse a plentiful heap,
Although the potatoes have prov'd 50 unsound,
No faults in the garments of MOSES a' e found.
And hence will the public, by purchasing these,
lte meeting, half-way, the potato disease.
Though one pocket loses by Injury done,
The other's enrich'd by E. MOSES and SON;
And had we the talent and learning of Plato,
We could'ut say snore on a " rotten potato."

Since Issuing the former prospectus, the Committee, being deter-
mined to proceed on the surest grounds, and anxious for the ultimate
success of the undertaking, have made further and more minute in-
quiries into the remunerative traffic to be expected on this line ; and
they are warranted in stating that, the result of such inquiries has
greatly exceeded the expectations upon which they grounded their
former prospectus.

This line of railway, commencing at Bristol, will open a direct
communication with Poole, passing through or near the important
towns and villages of Whitechurch, Pensford, Clutton, Shepton
Mallet, Bruton, Castle Cary, 'W incanton, Stalbridge, Sturminster,
Newton, Shillingston' Stourpain, Blandford, Spittisbury, Sturininster
Marshall, IVimborne Minster to Poole Harbour • and thus, by means
of the Line of Packets intended to be established by this Company,
from that port to the Channel Islands and Cherbourg, and the rail-
ways now in progress from the latter place to the French capital,
and irons thence to Lyons, will co nplete the line of communication,
by the most direct way, from Edinburgh to the south of France, thus
enabling that country to supply herself with many articles of com-
merce at little more than half the cost she at present pays, and leav-
ing a good remunerative profit to the Company and producer at home.
Among the various sources of traffic to be expected on this line,
the following are the most prominent :—The supply of the Govern-
ment with Coal from the Wel* and Somersetsbire pits, by
means of the proposed line, for its different naval and steam
depots thrcughout the world. The Somerset pits, which are 36 in
number, yield, at present, about 2,000 tons per diem, but are ca-
pable of yielding a much larger quantity ; and, supposing that 2,000
tons were carried by the railway, at Id. per ton a mile, a dis-
tance of 40 miles for 330 days in the year, which is even less
than the Company have every reason to expect, it would yield a

important article of general consumption. front the great dimi-
nution of price to the consumer by the costs of carriage being
reduced to ld. per ton per mile from the present cost, which is
from 6d. to 10d. The supply of the Channel Islands (population
more than 100,000), and of France, with the best species of
coal for the production of gas, as welt as for the use of their
manufactures and for domestic purposes. This article, by means
of the various coal pits situated on the line, will yield to the
Company a very fine remunerative profit, and be of the greatest be-
nefit to the coal proprietor; as the coal necessary for the purposes of
gas can be obtained in very large quantities, and delivered at Cher-
bourg at one-third less than they are now giving for the same coal,
and which cannot, therefore, fail to be of equal benefit to the mer-
chant abroad, the producer at home, and the proposed Company.
Besides these two great sources of coal traffic, there is the supply of
the southern coast, and the different districts on the line, with coal
for domestic use, at a saving of from six to seven shillings a ton.
This is a circumstance that cannot fail to secure to the Company the
entire traffic, and be of the greatest benefit to themselves and the
public in general. In addition to this, the line will offer to the great
manufacturing city of Bristol a mere ready market for all those
articles of commerce of which France and the Channel Islands stand
so much in need, and which are manufactured in great quantities at
that city, and as soon as the line is completed, tenders will at once
be submitted to Government for the snore speedy transmission of the
mails to the Channel Islands, by which a saving of snore than
twelve hours will be effected, and to the North and North-west of
Great Britain a saving of twenty-four hours.
There is also very considerable traffic to be derived from the
various stone quarries, iron mines, and clay pits on the line (the
clay pits alone yielding more than 50,000 tons annually) ; sand from
the Isle of Wight, for the manufacture of glass, of which more
than 10,000 tons annually are used in Birmingham alone; the pre-
sent mercantile traffic which now goes round the Land's End to
the Western Ports ; the great agricultural, manufacture, and pas-
senger traffic from the rich and populous districts through which
the line passes; and the traffic which must be thrown upon the line
from the Welch iron and coal masters, as being the nearest and most
direct outlet to the Continent for the produce of that country. In-
dependent of remuneration, this line ought to be looked upon as a
great national undertaking and benefit, as it will do away with the
necessity for vessels now employed in the Dutch, Danish, Swedish,
and Russian trades, bound to the western parts of England, going
round the Land's End, by at once opening to them the harbour of
Poole, which has been pronounced by eminent engineers to be one
of the best natural harbours in the world, and capable, at a small
expense, of being made accessible to vessels of the largest class
with perfect safety, and enabling them to send their cargoes
to their different destinations in less time, and at a less
expense, than at present : by this means, not only will the
shipowner and the merchant be greatly benefited, but the
Company would derive au immense animal revenue from the
cargoes of northern produce thus landed at. Poole, to be again distri-
buted, by means of their railway, to the different manufacturim towns
throughout this country ; and the passenger traffic that would natu-
rally follow so large a portion of mercantile traffic cannot fail to
yield to the Company a very handsome return upon their outlay.
The average number of vessels detained in this trade in going
round the Land's End amounts, from the most authentie sources, to
about four thousand, each vessel averaging a detention of five days.
The average tonnage of these vessels amounts to 130 tons, which
would give six men to each vessel, working after the rate of GO/. per
month, which would give, for the number of days detained, 10/. to
each vessel: this, multiplied by the number of vessels, viz., 4,0110,
would give the sum of 40,0001., which will be entireey saved by
means of this line. This is independent of the loss of life, destruction
of property, expense of insurance, and loss of time, which would
all be saved by the projected rail, the statistics of which, did space
- allow, would make every one look upon the present undertaking,
not only as one of great local importance, but one of great national
benefit.

The advantages have long been known and appreciated, and the
present Company have determined to bring them into play in the
most full and efficient manner. The expense of storage at Poole as
well as the port dues are less than at any port in the kingdom ; so
that the merchant would be enabled to keep his goods there at a less
expense_,a_es thanathl own port. He would be enabled to perform five

HowpEN GREAT HORSE FAlR.—This great fair
was held on Friday for the sale of horses. A good
amount of business was transacted, and a large number
of young carriage-horses were purchased by London
horse dealers and job masters at high prices; old horses
made a low price.

TUE DAGENHAM MURDER.—Since the verdict in
the above affair was returned, a number of active and
intelligent officers of the police force have held fre-
quent communications on the necessity of adopting
further measures to secure, if possible, the appre-
hension of the parties implicated in the brutal
murder of poor Clarke. The result was, that the
leaders in the movement forwarded to Scotland-yard a
memorial expressive of their anxiety to procure a united
expression of the sympathy of the force, by a general
subscription far the purpose of offering a further re-
ward for the discovery of the 4ctors in the late tragedy
at Dagenham, and requesting the opinion of the Com-
missioners as to the legality of such a course. A. favour-
able answer was returned in reply, and the subscription
is now in course of collection. To facilitate it, printed
forces have been conveyed to all the station and section-
houses. Althong4 purple), voluntary, the appeal is re-
sponded to with alacrity; ci;i4 it ix believed that the ser-
geants will agree to a contribution of k. and tbe subor-
dinates 2s. 63. each, sums which, when the numerical
strength of the force is considered, cannot fail to secure
