PROSPECTUS.
Public attention is naturally directed to the continent of India, in
these times of speculative enterprise, as a new and unexplored field
for the investment of capital, from the conviction that the yet unde-
veloped resources of its wealth, its industry, and its productive
power, will richly and amply remunerate the speculator.
The millions who people that vast and fertile region of the globe, I
only require the impulse of enterprise to call forth the almost bound-
less riches that immediately surround them ; and were they possessed
of that great artery of civilisation —railroads —the current of their
political and industrial strength would instantly become enlarged, not
only in volume, but in richness also.
If we glance at the continent of India, we find our power mainly
concentrated on three points on the coast—Calcutta, Madras, and
Bombay, which form an irregular triangle, the base of which may
be termed Madras and Calcutta, and the apex Bombay; and the
great bulk of the wealth and physical power of India is inclosed
within that figure; therefore, it becomes a matter of the primest im-
portance to have the intersecting lines of our empire as perfect as
possible, so that our power may be felt at every point, and our in-
fluence extended to every part. From the want of this concentrative
power, India has become almost a burden to the mother country,
barely paying its executive administration in lieu of being a lucrative
possession —a wealth-yielding appendage.
To obviate this great and glaring defect in our Anglo-Indian em-
pire, it is only necessary to extend to her the same means of com-
munication that we possess at home ; to bring, in short, the great
centres of her internal power nearer to each other ; and, instead of
depending upon her rivers as lines of traffic and intercourse, she
ought to have a well-arranged network of railway extending over
her surface ; then she would increase in power, and augment in
riches.
The Direct Bombay and Madras Railway is projected to carry out,
in part, this noble scheme ; and a single glance at the map must
convince the most taut: ;us calculator that the project is well founded,
and the line of route happily chosen to effect its purpose; as it will
intersect the most wealthy and industrious provinces of the continent
of India, the Carnatic, and the Mysore, which abound in natural
productions, in manufacturing industry, and in agricultural wealth.
The two great Presidencies of Madras and Bombay will be brought
within a few hours' journey of each other, and not months, as here-
tofore ; and, in lieu of vessels making a long and dangerous voyage
of some 5,400 miles half round the entire peninsula of India, their
easily cargoes may be easily conveyed to Bombay for shipment, in a
less number of hours than the voyage occupies days: thus avoiding
all risks of damage, peculation, wear, and tear, &c., which in general
characterise these voyages. The saving of insurance will also be
immense—a matter of first-rate importance.
In a political and military point of view, the line must be of almost
incalculable importance, as it will intersect the great depots of the
East India Company, and afford at al times a ready and prompt
conveyance for troops, baggage, stores, artillery, and that cumbrous
materiel which invariably attend their march ; and, above all, it will
prove of the utmost utility to the Indian Government, in the distri-
bution of their forces among the various military posts of the three
Presidencies, and for their rapid concentration on any required point,
the watt of which was so distinctly shown in the late calamitous
events on the Sutlej, and the consequent fearful sacrifice of life.
The district traversed by the Direct Bombay and Madras Railway
contains upwards of 30,000,000 of inhabitants ; and the wants and
industry of this large body already yield a considerable tonnage,
al hough in a comparative state of barbarous communication. In
the report of the Bombay Chamber of Commerce, we find that the
traffic to and from that City amounts to 187,343 tons annually, con-
sisting chiefly of cotton and salt. These two items form morel, a
fraction of the requirements of the Indians, Bombay is unapproach-
able except by a dangerous and expensive sea-board, and acheap and
safe communication can alone render available her internal resources.
Cotton has now to be transported 500 miles to the coast, to reach
Bombay fir shipment. A railway would naturally obviate so cir-
cuitous and expensive a route. Some idea may be formed of the de-
struction and delay occasioned by these journeys, when we state
that the cotton is carried on the backs of oxen, at the rate of 10
miles per day, which enormously augments its shipment price. The
present cost of conveyance from Nag-pore to the port of shipment is
from 141. to 2 'l. a ton, and the charge by rail of 2d a ton per mlle would
amount to 41. 3s. 4d., a oonsiderable difference. The same facts pre-
vail in regard to silk and other commodities, which are of the first
importance to our manufacturing interests.
This line will also bring nearer to us the fine island of Ceylon, with
all its rich productions, commencing as it will at Madras, and taking in
its course Arcot, Vellore, Banglare, Oscotta, Bangalore, Sera, Dodal rec.,
Hurrioor, Ghittledroog, Myacunda, Anagee, Hurryhur, Shahnoor,
Hullyhall, Hoobly, Darwar, Taloor, Gohauk, Rybaugh, Meeruj, Kola-
poor, Satara, Poona, Poonah, Tulligaon, Singhur, Callianee, Basseen,
Salsette, and Bombay ; thus absorbing the interests and traffic of up-
wards of 30 first-rate cities, and from 400 to 500 towns in the most
densely populated part of India, facilitating the conveyance of cotton,
coffee, tobacco, opium, sugar, silk, senna, gum, cassia, dye-woods,
hides, furs, lac, betel nut, saltpetre, spices, fire-woed, charcoal, coal,
corn, and various kinds of grain, indigo, &c., and the imports of
treasure, manufactured and other goods, salt, ice, &c.
The passenger traffic alone, according to reasonable and careful
calculation, will yield an ample per tentage on the capital raised ;
and the immense tonnage of merchandise and raw produce must
insure to the shareholders a profit beyond even the first-rate lines of
England.
The promoters of the present scheme have received intelligence
from their agents that the line presents no engineering difficulties,
and that the cost of construction must be moderate, labour being
plentiful, and the purchase of land comparatively trifling, and wood,
coal, and iron abounding in the immediate neighbourhood of the
whole line.
The management of the Company will be vested in a Board of Di-
rectors in London, in connexion with an influential branch both in
Bombay and Madras.
Care will be taken, in the act constituting the Company, that the
responsibility of the Shareholders shall be limited to the amount of
their subscriptions: and four per cent. interest will be paid upon the
capital advanced up to the time of construction. The Directors also
beg to call especial attention to the principle by which allottees in this
Company are protected from an objectionable responsibility, by the

ROWLAND'S ODONTO ; or, PEARL
DENTIFRICE.
I'atronised by the Queen, and the Royal Family of Great Britain,
and the several Sovereigns and Courts of Europe.
A WHITE POWDER FOR THE TEETH, compounded of the
choicest and most recherche ingredients of the Oriental Herbal—the
leading requisites of cleanliness and efficacy being present in the
highest possible degree. It extirpates all tartarons adhesions to the
Teeth, and ensures a pearl-like whiteness to the enamelled surface.
Its anti-septic and anti-scorbutic properties arrest the further pro-
grk ss of decay of the Teeth, induce a healthy action of the Gums,
and cause them to assume the brightness and colour indicative of
perfect soundness; while by confirming adhesion to the Teeth, they
give unlimited and fresh zest to appetite by perpetuating effective
and complete mastication. The Breath also attains a fragrant sweet-
ness truly grateful to its possessor.
As the most efficient and fragrant Aromatic Tooth Powder ever
known, ROWLAND'S ODON IO has for a long series of years occu-
pied a distinguished place at the Toilets of the Sovereigns and the
Nobility throughout Europe, while the general demand for it at once
announces the favour in which it is universally held.

THE QUEEN DOWAGER.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
RAMSGATE, JUNE 16.—Her Majesty the Queen Dowager and suite
arrived here by special train this afternoon, at one o'clock, en route
to Ostend, for which purpose the Admiralty yacht Black Eagle had
been placed at her disposal. The tirst intimation of her arrival was
given to the public by the hoisting of the royal standard on the
church, and a salute of twenty-one guns from the pier, and shortly
after the royal party proceeded to the yacht, which was lying at the
mouth of the harbour, both piers of which were crowded with spec-
tators anxious to catch a glimpse of their transient visitor. The
Garland mail-packet departed with the carriages two hours before her
Majesty, so as to be in readiness for her at Ostend.
James Macgregor, Esq., chairman, Feilden, Esq., M.P., Vis-
count Torrington, and other directors of the South-Eastern Railway,
were in attendance upon her Majesty while on her journey from
London.

The traffic between this port and Ostend is still on the increase,
the number of passengers and carriages in and out from the Ist to
the 14th of this month, being, of the former, 846, and of the latter,
20, with the prospect of a still larger increase.

IBRAHIM PACHA..

BIRMINGHAM. TUESDAY—HIM serene iiiglinesathePaeha has again
been busily engaged to-day in. further Inspection of the manatee-
tories of this town.

Accompanied as yesterday, he started forth this morning, and first
visited the extensive brass foundry of Mr. II Smith, the worthy
mayor of the town. After which he proceeded to the rolling mills of
Mr. C. Clifford, the ponderous machinery of which, and the pur-
poses for which it is applied, seemed fairly to astonish his Highness.
A small piece of metal, about the eighth of an inch in thickness, and
about two ineheS in length, was rolled to the length of about two
yards, and so pleased was the Pacha with the operation, that he asked
permission to retain the piece of metal, which was of course granted.
The Government gun-barrel proof house next attracted the atten-
tion of the party, and his fli_hness listened to the volleys of fire-
arms that were being proved as though he was, or had been, well
accustomed to the sound. The Britannia nail works was also visited by
his Highness, who not only takes a cursory glance at the machinery,
but thoroughly observes its action and the adaptation of the various
parts. His Highness and party, having returned to the Royal Hotel
and partaken of lunch, left that place about three o'clock in the
afternoon, and visited the extensive show-rooms and manufactory
of Mr. Westley Richards, whose fowling-pieces are so well known
over the world. The process of gun-barrel making was next shown
to his Highness, at the extensive works of Messrs. Sergeant, who
were honoured with a similar visit by his Royal Highness Prince
Albert when he was in Birmingham. One of the greatest curiosities
to his Highness appeared to be the working of Mr. Farmer's patent
portable rotary pumps and fire-engine, the action of which was de-
scribed by the patentee at his manufactory in Broad-street, who
also exhibited a highly-finished model pump, of small dimensions.
During the visit his Highness also inspected the extensive screw
manufactory of Mr. James James. This evening the party dine at
the Royal Hotel, and will to-morrow,
a visit to the extensive
Soho wor:is of Messrs. Boulton and ' pay
Watts. at HanSworth, about
three miles from this town, after which they will proceed to the
London steel works, which are situated at the adjoining village of
Smethwiek. The Gospel Oak Iron Works, in the neighbourhood,
will, it is expected, receive a visit from his Highness, who, according
to present arrangements, will return to Birmingham to-morrow
evening, and again leave on the following morning for Manchester,
and after inspecting the cotton factories,
northwards. proceed on his tour
IBRA-11rn PACHA IN A WHALE'S BELLY.
An amusing incident occurred during the Pacha's peregri-
nation yesterday ; there happens to be at this moment in Bir-
mingham the skeleton of a large whale on view, at the price of a
penny a head. Ibrahim saw the long line of caravans in which this
animal is contained, and he paid it an impromptu visit. The show•
man received his Highness at the door, and conducted him with all
gravity into the whale's belly, where he suddenly slipped away and
could not be found. The official conductors of the Prince were
wholly at a loss to explain the different parts of the huge creature,
or to show him the way out again, and a search for the showman
was instituted, when he was discovered outside his caravan beating
a large gong and blowing a trumpet, bawling at the top of his lungs,
when not occupied with his musical instrument, "Now's your time,
ladies and gemmen, walk up, walk up, Ibrahim, King of Egypt, and
all his officers, are at this =meat in my whale's belly, and can't
find their way out without me." The fellow's ingenious device (for
he doubled his charge at once) brought so large a crowd that the
Pacha and his attendants were fain to make their exit at the whale's
vent, as the ordinary entry was too much blocked up for him to be
able with convenience to escape as he had come in.

Part of the officers adjourned to the King's-rooms, on Southsea
Beach, to the soirée, where they were met by upwards of 100 ofladies
and gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood, and the dancing was
kept up until two o'clock this morning. The Comet steamer was

IBRAHIM PACHA AND HIS DOCTOR'S BlLL.—it is ge-

on the son of Mehemet Ali. Nothing was arranged as to the fees or

the salary of the M.D. until two or three days before Ibrahim Pacha
andcothnsladtearnableemintime
was to leave Paris, and then he sent 50,000 f. (2,000/0 to Dr. Lalle-
nant. This sum was not considered satisfactory by Dr. Lallernant,
who had been building castles with the munificent sum he expected
from the Pacha; and he therefore respectfully submitted that he con-
sideredi his fees should be estimated at 200,000 f. (8,0001.) It was a
source of great vexation to Ibrahim to have undervalued the services
of Dr. Lallemant, but yet he did not make up the donation named,
but sent 4,0001. more to the learned physician, who then declared
himself satisfied with the total received, videlicet 6,000/.
GRADUAL RISE OF NEWFOUNDLAND ABOVE THE SEA.
—lt is a fact worthy of notice, that the whole of the land in and
about the neighbourhood of Conception Bay, very probably the whole
island, is rising out of the ocean at a late which promises, at no very
distant day, materially to affect, if not to render useless, many of the
best harbours we have now on the coast. At Pert de Grave, a series
of observations have been made, u hich undeniably prove the rapid
displacement of the sea-level in the vicinity. Several large fiat
rocks, over which schooners might pass some thirty or forty years
ago with the greatest facility, are now approaching the surface, the
water being scarcely navigable fbr a skiff. At a place called the Cash,
at the head of Bay Roberts, upwards of a mile from the sea-shore,
and at several feet above its level, covered with five or six feet of
vegetable mould, there is a perfect beach, the stones being rounded, of
a moderate size, and in all respects similar to those new found in the
adjacent land-washes.--• Newfoundland Times.
