Messrs. Hydes and Tymbs,

The line from Worcester, with a branch to the Severn, is in-
tended to pass near the towns of Pershore, Evesham, Stratford-on-
Avon, Banbury, Bicester, and Aylesbury, and to join the London
and Birmingham Railway in the vicinity of Tring, which has been
found, on the whole, to be a srore desirable point of junction for
public] accommodation than Weedon. The line from Rugby to
Oxford is intended to pass also by way of Banbury, and will form,
for about twenty miles, a portion of the main line from Worcester
to Tring. Whilst Worcester by these means will be brought within
a distance of 119 miles of the terminus of the London and Birming-
ham Railway at Euston.square, the intermediate country will be
connected by the proposed line to Rugby with the eastern side of
the kingdom. On the other hand, Birmingham and the midland
and northern counties will be thus directly connected with Oxford
and the south ; and, as a necessary result, the London and Bir..
mingham Railway Company will effect a junction of their existing
Warwick and Leamington branch with the proposed lines.
Accurate surveys of the country have been made under the di-
rection and personal superintendence of Mr. Robert Stephenson,
who reports that it is free from any considerable engineering dif-
ficulties.

Estimates of the traffic has been prepared, showing a return upon
the expenditure sufficient to induce the Directors of the London
and Birmingham Company to lease the line in perpetuity, which
they have agreed to do, with a guarantee of 4 per cent. per annum
to the Proprietors upon the outlay, and half the surplus profits.
A moiety of the shares is reserved for the Proprietors of the
London and Birmingham Company; and the remainder will be
alloted to parties having local interests, and other applicants.
Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum, will be paid half-
yearly on the Deposits and Calls, from the time of payment.
Applications for shares may be made to the solicitors, or to the
following sharebrokers :—Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite, Old
Broad.street, Mr. Robert William Moore, Threadneedle-street,
London ; Mr. Samuel Woods, jun., Liverpool; or Mr. James

way of Dudley), in continuation the line from Tring to Worces.

most liberal estimate; and the Subscribers' Contracts, with other
necessary deeds, have been extensively signed by the holders of the
Scrip, both in London and the country.

mittee, will ensure a more certaint amount of profit."

Since the Prospectus of this Railway was issued to the Publie,
the South-Easters Company have laid out a Line of Railway from.
Ashford, by Canterbury to Ramsgate and Margate, under the
powers of their Act of the last Session. This circumstance has
induced the Committee to reconsider that part of the Plan,
by which it was proposed to carry out the Railway from Fever.
sham to Ramsgate and Margate by a Coast Line, with a view to
the substitution of another Line, which should fall into the Ash-
ford branch at or near Canterbury ; by such a junction, a direct
Railway communication will equally be extended to Ramsgate and
Margate, while an important accommodation will also be afforded
to Canterbury and its neighbourhood, and the Line itself will be
made capable of extension to several other Important points on the
Coast, which at present have not the benefit of Railway intercourse.

The Committee have determined upon this modification after a
mature consideration of its advantages, and they have the satisfac-
tion of knowing that it is in accordance with the wishes of the Inha-
bitants of the district, through which It is proposed the Line shall
pass ; a direct Railway communication will thus be effected be-
tween Canterbury, Chatham, and Woolwich, and between all those
important Depots and the Metropolis; "and the important traffic of
Canterbury will be added to the estimated returns of the Company.
The Line, as proposed to be modified, will commence, as origi.
nally laid down, at London.bridge, and will proceed round Green-
wich.park, by Blackheath, Charlton, Woolwich, Plumstead, Wick.

ARCHER'S ROYAL PATENT FLANNEL,
warranted not to shrink in washing.

This Company offers the advantages of the guarantee of an ample
subscribed capital—of permission to retain one-third of the premium
in their own hands (the portion so retained, with interest upon it,
being deducted than the policy when it become a claim),--of aseciid_
lng, decending, and other settles of premiums,--and of participation
in the profits at the end of every five years.
TO EMIGRANTS, TO THE AUSTRALASIAN COLONIES,
assured for the whole of life, this Company offer the permission to
proceed to, and reside in, any of those colonies without extra pre-
mium, and to pay their premiums there. For residence in New
Zealand, a moderate extra premium is charged.
In Sydney, a Board of Directors, and Agents in all the principal
settlements—Bankers in the colony. The Bank of Australasia (in.
corporated by Royal Charter, 1835), No. 2, Moorgate-street, London.

In the original Prospectus, the estimates of cost and traffic were
given in detail, showing a return equal to at least eight per cent.
upon a eapital of 1,500,0001.

S. ARCHER begs to acquaint the Public that his PATENT FLAN-
NEL is sold wholesale in London on'y by Messrs. J. and R. Morley,
Wood-street; Messrs. J. B. and W. Nevill and Co., Maiden-lane ;
and Messrs. Ward, Sturt, Sharp, and Ward, Wood-street ; and retail
by all the drapers and hosiers in England. He also wishes to acquaint
the public there is no patent flannel in being but his, and it has on
the head end of each piece stamped, Archer's Royal Patent Flannel,
warranted not to shrink in washing, and the public will find it to
improve with washing, and be found snore durable than any other
flannel to the consumer.

By the proposed modification of the Line, the capital will be re-
duced t• 1,250,0001., and by this reduction, and the accession of
additional traffic, in consequence of the extension to Canterbury,
the Committee feel assured that the profits will be considerably in.
creased to the Shareholders.

been appointed to the second mastership of the Ply-
mouth Grammar SchooL
CunisT's COLLEGE.—Timothy Byers, 8.A., private
assistant at Oakham School, has just been elected second
master on that foundation.

As a proof of the very moderate statements of traffic, upon which
the revenue was calculated in the original Prospectus, it may be
stated that according to official returns recently promulgated, the
number of persons who arrived at, and embarked from, Gravesend,
between the Ist of June and the 30th of September, in the present
year, a period of four months only, amounted to 1,491,023, ex.
ceeding by nearly 200,000 persons, the number assumed in the
Prospectus to pass to and from Gravesend in the entire year.

The Committee have been induced to defer the allotment of
Shares pending the consideration of this contemplated change in
the lower part of thcir Line, and the new survey rendered necessary
thereby; but they now intend to proceed to the allotment Imme-
diately after the 29th inst., and no application for shares will be
received after that day.

A deposit of Si per share will be payable on the allotment taking
place, and at the same time the Subscribers' Assent, and Parlia-
mentary Contract must be signed.

The Committee, however, feel so confident in the superiority
and advantages of the proposed Line, that they engage to return
the whole amount of the deposits, without any deduction, should
their Line not be approved of by the Board of Trade.
Prospectuses may be obtained at the Solicitor's Office, No. 30,
Bedford-row, and further applications for Shares must be made to
the Provisional Committee only, at their Office, No. 13, Austin

THE AUTUMN SEASON.
The rising sun dispels the hazy fog,
The rigid hoar-frost melts upon the ground ;
And, hung on every spray, on every blade,
The myriad dew-drops sparkle all around
In presenting before my distinguished patrons any arrangements
and extensive preparations for the present season, I consider it
first a paramount duty, combined with a positive pleasure, to return
my sincere thanks for the continued success which has for many
years enabled me to produce such novelties as have been entirely
unprecedented, and which have given to my numerous establish-
ments, both in England and Scotland, a character hitherto un-
paralleled in the annals of clothing. _ .

Saxony, the Duchies of Saxe-Meiningen, of Saxe-
Altenbourg, and of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha; the
Principalities of Schwartzburg Rudolstadt and of
Schwartzburg Sonderhausen, of Reuss Greitz, of
Reuss Schlietz, and of Reuss Lobenstein and Ebers-
dorf; the Duchy of Brunswick, the Duchy of
Nassau, and the free city of Frankfort, on the other
part ;

" Being equally animated with the desire of quickly
establishing between Belgium and the Zollverein a
state of things comformable to their reciprocal com-
mercial interests, and of establishing their relations
of navigation and of commerce, on lasting bases,
which they reserve to themselves to extend by their
mutual concessions, have, with this end in view,
agreed to enter into negotiations, and have named for
their respective plenipotentiaries, viz.:—his Majesty
the King of the Belgians, Lieutenant-General Count
Goblet d'Alviella, his Aide-de-Camp, and Minister of
State and of Foreign Affairs, &c. ; his Majesty the
King of Prussia, Baron d'Arnim, his Minister
Plenipotentiary at the Court of the King of the Bel-
gians, &c.; who, after having exchanged their full
powers, and found them in due form, have agreed
upon the following articles:—
"Art. 1. Ships belonging to Belgium, which shall
enter with ballast or cargoes into the ports of Prussia,
or into one of the ports of the other States of the Zoll-
verein, or which shall leave them ; and on the other
side, ships belonging to Prussia, or to one of the
States of the Zollverein, which shall enter, either
with ballast or cargoes, into the ports of Belgium, or
leave the same, whatever may be the place of their
departure or their destination, shall, with respect to
tonnage, flag, port, pilot, anchorage, lighthouse,
sluice canal, quarantine, salvage, brokerage, and
other duties or charges of whatever nature or deno-
mination they may be (imposed in the name, and to
the profit of Government, of public functionaries, of
communes, or of any establishment whatever), be
subjected only to such duties which are at present, or
which may hereafter be, imposed on the national
ships, at their entrance into and during their stay in
those ports, or at their departure therefrom
"Art. 2. For whatever concerns the destination of
ships, their loading and unloading in the ports, roads,
harbours, and basins, and generally for all formalitiek
and dispositions whatsoever, to which vessels of com-
merce, their crews, and their cargoes, may be sub-
jected, it is equally agreed upon that no privilege or
favour will be granted to the national ships which
shall not be extended to those of the other party, the
wish of the two high contracting parties being that, in
this respect also, their vessels should be treated on the
basis of perfect equality.
" Art. 3. The repayment by Belgium of the duty
imposed on the navigation of the Scheldt, by flit
Government of the Netherlands (by virtue of the
third paragraph of the 9th article of the treaty of the
19th of April, 1839), is guaranteed to the ships of the
states of the Zollverein.

" Art. 4. All the products and other objects of
commerce, the importation and
.exportation of which
may legally take place in the states of the high con-
tracting parties by means of national vessels, may be
equally imported or exported therefrom by ships be-
longing to either contracting parties. Merchandise
imported into the port of Belgium and the Zollverein
by vessels belonging to either side, may be destined
to be used there, to be passed through, or to be re-
exported, or to be put into bond (entrepot), at the
will of the proprietor or his agents, on the same
conditions, and without being subjected to heavier
duties of warehousing, custody, or such like, than
those to which merchandise brought by national ves-
sels are subjected.
" Art. 5. Merchandise of all kinds, without dis-
tinction as to the place from which it comes, imported
directly from the ports of Belgium into those of the
Zollverein by Belgian vessels, as well as merchandise
which may be directly imported from the ports of
the Zollverein into those of Belgium, by vessels be-
longing to one of the states of the Zollverein, shall
not in the respective ports pay other or stronger
entrance or exit duties, or undergo any other I'm.-
malities than those to which national vessels are sub-
ject when such imports are made by them. The same
regulation will remain for merchandise of all kinds
exported from the ports of the Zollverein by Belgian
vessels, as well as for those which may be exported
from the ports of Belgium by ships of the Zollverein,
whatever may be their destination.

. ..,
Immense patronage demands the most decisive proofs of grati-
tude and respect ; and to those who so nobly supported me through.
out a long career of mercantile enterprise, I beg leave most respect.
fully to tender my grateful acknowledgments.

My arrangements for the present season are now approaching to
a completion, and combine
Vesting of exquisite beauty and shade,
In countless profusion are tastefully laid ;
The richest designs which the loom can supply
Delight every fancy, and please every eye!
In the tour which I have recently made throughot the. English,
Scottish, and Continental markets, I have selected upwards of
6,000 of the most magnificent designs in Vestings, which cannot
be obtained by any other house in the kingdom. The " principal
styles" are entirely my own property, and can only be seen at my
establishments; and although I have adopted this novel method of
securing the most recherche designs, yet economy will be found
blended with their extreme beauty and durability. The materials
which I have selected for Trouserings combine every novelty yet
introduced into this country; the Stock being truly immense, and
the patterns so much diversified, it ensures to every one the cer.
tainty of being pleased. Again, the magnificent display of
Materials for Over Coats,
For every age and station,
Are such as must excite in all
The meed of approbation!
In the above useful garments I have introduced a variety of new
and beautiful features, and amongst the many novelties may be
enumerated the Glenlyon Driving Coat, the Parisian Envelope, the
Albert Riding and the Waterford Walking Coats. Now these are
entirely new, and different to any style yet introduced, and will be
found to possess the gentlemanly appearance so much admired
amongst the haut ton. Combining, as my establishments do, the
most recherche designs, the greatest novelties, the most scientific
cutters and experienced workmen, and yet, from my immense
purchases, being enabled to sell forty per cent. under the usual
prices, I venture to hope for the kind continuance of the favours
of my distinguished patrons ; whilst no future efforts of mine shall
be wanting to merit their generous support.—l have the honour
to be the public's obliged servant, L. HYAM.

" Separate' Art. The cargoes of the ships of the
Zollverein imported into Belgium by indirect naviga-
tion, being submitted to differential duties, the Bel-
gian vessels which shall import into the ports of the
Zollverein cargoes shipped in a port belonging neither
to Belgium nor the Zollverein, shall pay an extraor-
dinary flag duty not exceeding the half of the actual
tariff of that duty.
" This stipulation will remain in force until the
Ist of January, 1848, and beyond that term during
the continuance of the present treaty, if, at the afore-
said term, one or other of the high contracting par-
ties shall not totally change its system of legislation
concerning navigation. In this latter case, the high
contracting parties will consider the means of recon-
ciling the stipulation of the first section of the pre-
sent article with the modifications which may be in-
troduced therein.
