PROSPECTUS.
The object of this Company is to construct a direct and continuous
line of railway, on the narrow gauge, from Cheltenham, through
Northieach, Burford, and Witney, to Oxford, and thence, by Thame,
to form a junction with the London and Birmingham Railway, at
onee opening the shortest route from those towns and the surround-
ing districts to the metropolis, and by means of the Oxford and
Bletchley, and other lines in connexion therewith, to Bedford, Cam-
bridge, Norwich, and the -hole of the eastern side of the kingd
inom.
The undertaking is promoted by parties locally interested the
district through which the line• will pass, in conjunction with the
Shareholders in the Oxford, Witney, Cheltenham, and Gloucester
Independent Company, who introduced a Bill into Parliament during
the session which has just closed for making the line between Oxford
and Cheltenham, which failed upon technical objections only. It
will be the anxious desire of the Committee to consult the wishes of
the inhabitants as to the terminus and mode of approaching the town
of Cheltenham.
A large proportion of the capital will be subscribed by the London
and North-Western Railway Company, who have also agreed to
lease the line in perpetuity, at a rent equal to four and a half per
cent. upon the outlay, with an equal ivision of surplus profits.
This line will reduce the distance between Cheltenham and London
to 100 miles, being a saving of twenty-two miles as compared with
the present route, and the distance between Oxford and London will
be shorter than by the Great Western Railway, without taking into
account the saving in time arising from the more convenient position
of the London Terminus at Euston -square as compared with Pad-
dington, which, to parties going to the City and most parts of the
metropolis, may be considered as nearly equal to ten miles of rail-
way travelling. An unbroken narrow gauge communication will
also be effected by means of this hue between the Docks and Port
of London and those of Gloucester, and there is no doubt eventually
with Bristol, an object of considerable commercial importance.
Worcester, and the important district of which it forms the centre,
will also be brought by this litre within the same distance of London
as by any other litres sanctioned by Parliament.
It having been decided by Parliament that (with some exceptions,
not applying to the present case) all new lines of railway shall here-
after be constructed on the narrow gauge, it is obvious that the traffic
of the districts accommodated by the proposed line will be best deve-
loped by a Company in connexion with the existing narrow gauge
lines, giving, at the same time, to the public the advantages of that
competition which the Legislature have recently evinced their anxiety
to establish between rival Companies.
Applications for Shares may be made, in the form given below, to
the Secretary', at. he Temporary Offices of the Company, 29, Great
George. street, Westminster: In the allotment of Shares, a prefer-
ence will be given to parties resident on the line, or having local
interest.

On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS,
(An Essay for 1846.)
Of human ills and frailties I discourse,
Those taught by nature, and by art acquir'd.
Of griefs conceal'd, and disappointments keen,
Which young and gentle, the matured and sage,
The lonely and the mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n,
How health, how hope, how happiness to gain."

WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contents :—How to ensure perfeet digestion, tranquil eelings, a
good night's rest, a clear head, and a oontentod mind. By an ob-
servance of the instructions herein containe' the feeble, the ner-
vously delica e,even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire
the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the
full period of life allotted to man.
" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health full threescore years andten."
These interesting little volumes, although hearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea-
surable and general utility, for they tell of matters every living crea-
ture able to understani ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of
nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted 'upon that we
should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual
capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the mesent and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted,
health will he found to bo in our own keeping, and happiness
within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in fulfilling
our duty to eurselves, we secure the lit e advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation )f our faculties, which is in-
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest
of Cod's creations..
The author's Justification 'for this seeming eulogy of his own writ-
ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured
by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the
topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

NOTICES Os' THEvPRESS.
From the Mark-lane Express.—" The work now before us will be
appreciated by the professional man who is aware of the importance
of distinguishing between ' irritative' and ' inflammatory' action in
determining the course of treatment of disease. The author is of
opinion that the symptoms of the former are frequently mistaken for
the latter, sometimes even by experienced practitioners. Mr.
Franks does not content himself with asserting the fact, but pro-
ceeds to show, by argument and demonstration, which appears to us
conclusive, that the position he assumes is correct. Having carefully
perused Mr. Franks's book, we can state with confidence, that it
ought to be read by every man, inasmuch as the information it con-
thins may not only afford relief to the mind upon the appearance of
symptoms which are not really indicative of the disease supposed,
but may be the means of guarding the patient against the practices
of the unskilful and the empiric."
From Bell's Life in London.—" We recommend this little treatise
to those who, suffering under deserved penalties, wish to pay them
off as speedily and safely as possible, without having recourse to the
ruinous banks founded by manslaughtering quacks."
From the London Mercantile Journal.--" Mr. Franks is evidently
an original thinker, and follows not the path of his predecessors in
treating the subject upon which he has written. There is a vast
amount of truth in his book. It is ignorance which often causes un-
happiness in the married state, and such a work as this may be the
means of displacing many of those serious heart-burnings and jea-
lousies which sever the peace of families."

the treatment of the various disorders arising from the follies and
