pXTRAORDINARY OPTICAL DISCOVERY.
-11-Li Extract from the "Medical Circular," Nov. 16, 1859 :
"We have observed with much pleasure an important dis-
covery in the grinding of spectacle lenses by Mr. Bernard
Davis, optician. They are superior to any others ; and from
their peculiar transparency can be easily adapted to any
sight, avoiding all strain to the vision. We have no doubt
that the most imperfect eyes may be surprisingly assisted by
this novel discovery."

The directors of this company state in their report
that the line to Delhi will be completed by the end
.of next year, and that in the meantime several new
sections will be opened for traffic. Daring the past
half-year au additional length of 87 miles has
been opened for traffic from Cawnpore to Etawah,
and there are therefore now in working order
248 miles in Bengal and 210 miles in the North-
West Provinces. The question of when it may be
desirable to commence construction of the Jubbul-
pore line remains in abeyance. On the Bengal di-
vision, 248 miles in length, the permanent way and
works have been maintained in efficient working
order during the half-year at a cost of 7d. per
train mile. The working expenses have been 45.69
per cent., or 7.75 per cent. less than in the pre-
ceding half-year. The number of passengers car-
ried during the half-year ended Dec. 31 last was
756,894, and during the past half-year, ending June
30, 893,553, showing an increase of 136,659. Of the
893,553 passengers, 8,867 were first-class, 34,324
second-class, and 850,362 third-class passengers.
The tonnage in goods and minerals, exclusive of
parcels, carriages, and live stock, for the half-year
ending Jane 30 last, has been 178,783 tons, against
135,779 tons in the preceding half-year. The
amount of railway materials, included in the traffic
returns of the past half-year, is about 17 per cent.
The gross traffic receipts for the half-year ending
June 30 have been £175,842, against £121,869 in
the preceding half-year. The net traffic receipts
from the opening of the line to June 30 have been
£607,626. The locomotives and other rolling stock
are in efficient condition. On the line in the North-
West Provinces, 123 miles in length, the permanent
way and works have been maintained in efficient
order at a cost of 81d. per train mile. The work-
ing expenses have been 40.97 per cent., showing a
reduction of 8.57 per cent. on the preceding half-
year. The number of passengers carried during
the half-year ending Dec. 31 last was 104.160, and
in the past half-year, ending June 30, 122,651, of
which 1,612 were first-class, and 2,384 second-class
passengers. The tonnage in goods and minerals,
exclusive of parcels, carriages, and live stock for
the half-year ending June 30 last, has been 62,436
tons, giving an increase of 19,397 tons over the
preceding half•year ; part of this large increase,
however, is due to the large quantities of grain
carried during the late famine. The amount of
permanent way materials, included in the traffic
returns of the past half-year, is about 25 per cent.
The gross traffic receipts for the half-year ending
the 30th of June last have been £63,685, showing
an increase of £16,424 over the preceding. half-
year. The net receipts since the opening of the
line for public traffic have been £115,464, The
locomotives and other rolling stock are in excellent
condition. The general result of the half-year's
working on the two divisions of the line, as com-
pared with the preceding half-year, shows an in-
crease in the traffic of 155,150 passengers and
62,401 tons of goods and minerals, and of £53,059
in the net earnings, while there has been a decrease
of 7.92 per cent. in the working expenses. In their

last report the directors showed that the sum re-
quired to complete the line to Delhi, beyond the
£899,500 which they were then engaged in raising,
would be X 2,900,000. They have raised the £899,500
in question, and £1,067,000 of the £2,900,000 ; so
that for the main line they will require but
£1,833,000 between the present time and the end of
1863. The board will take such measures to pro-
vide this sum as may appear best calculated to pro-
mote the interests of the company. Whether they
look to the progress in construction, to the increased
earnings of the line, to the decrease in the working
expenses, or to the success which has attended their
financial operations during the past half-year, the
board think the shareholders will have reason to be
well satisfied with the six months' operations. The
revenue for the half-year ending the 30th of June
on the Bengal division, 248 miles in length,
amounted to £175,842, the expenses to £80,340, and
the net balance to £95,502. The revenue for the
same half-year on the North-West Province divi-
sion amounted, on 123 miles, to £63,685, the ex-
penses to £26,092, or 40.97 per cent., and the net
receipts to £37,593.
