This line will commence near the city of Oporto, and continuing
through Lamego, will traverse the very heart of the great Wine dis-
trict of Portugal to Torre de Mencervo, within a few miles of the
Spanish frontier.
The manifest advantage; of this line render comment almost un-
necessary. Preliminary surveys have established the fact that there
are no engineering' difficulties of importance to overcome, and the
traffic of the country is even now so great, that no reasonable doubt
can exist as to the lucrative nature of this investment.
The improved state of affairs in the Peninsula will eventually ensure
the extension of this line to the ancient and populous city of Sala-
manca, and the very heart of Spain. It is difficult to estimate the
boaeticial results of the completion of such a line. An immense dis-
trict of the most fertile country in Europe will be broughf into 'ulnae-
dials contiguity with the sea-coast, and thence, by consequence, with
England and all the maritime nations of the world.
The Provisional Committee avail themselves ef the earliest possible
opportunity to apprise the nubile that such legal measures will be
adopted, as must affo'rd the Subecribers to this Company ample pro-
tection.

FOR BILE, INDIGESTION, AND DISORDERS OF THE
STOMACH AND LIVER.
DR. A. A. HARVEY, or Bath, formerly Sur-
genii in the East India Company's Service, recommends to
the Public his Family Pills.
The great benefits resulting from an efffraelous household medicine
must be manifest to all. This medicine is not put forward as a care
fur every complaint, but in those cases of sudden and temporary ill-
ness so frequenly occurring in families, it will be found of singular
service, as its operation is extremely mild, as well as effectual.
The large and steadily increasing sale of these Pills, princi-
pally from the recommendations of those who have expe-
rienced their salutary qualities, is the best proof of their ex-
cellence. A few doses will convince those suffering from Indi-
gestion, from whatever cause arising, that their effects are perms-
practice in

neys, stimulating the absorbents to carry off those ftulde which
might otherwise terminate In Dropsy. They hive teen found of

This Company has been formed fir the purpose of extending to
India the great benefits of internal railway commanioation.
It proposes to effect a commencement of a system wkich shall
have for its object the oonnexion of the several Indian preeldeneles
with each other, and with the nearest point of intercourse with
Europe at Bombay, and at the same time to develop. the great and
unimproved resources of the !Meteor of the Peninsula.
The vast importauco of the object has boon fully recognised by the
East India Company aid the Board of Control, who are prepared to
undertake such surveys as may be necessary to enable them to take
into consideration the general question of railroads in India.
The promoters of this measure have represented to these authori-
ties that this Company may propably find. on due inquiry, that it
will be impracticable to execute the intended roads without a
guarantee by the Government of a certain though small dividend, or
of some equivalent advantage ; they have therefore much satisfac-
tion in stating that the Government proposes to depute to India a
skilfull engineer, to bo associated with others to be appointed by the
Goverment of Julia for investigating the subject ; and when the in-
ffirmation to be so obtained Shall have been received, it will be pre-
pared to take into consideration the mode and extent of whatever
pecuniary assistance it may be proper for the Government of India
to afford towards the execution of projects of this deseription.
It is understood that the survey of an experimental line will be
executed as soon as possible, with the especial sanction and assist-
ance if the Government, as stated above, by whom the coat of such
survey or surveys will be borne, and the requisite arrangements, if
any, with the native Governments and the owners of the land will
be undertaken. On the completion of these preliminary steps it will
remain for the Shareholders to determine whether or not the
prospects of the undertaking, as thus ascertained, and the terms
assented ti by the Government, will warrant tile further proseoution
of the design.
From documents, to which amass has been most liberally given by
the Directors of the East India Company, very exact information
has been obtained as to the general engineering character of the in-
tended lines ; the same authentic source, and the communications of
EDevnet In
have
lvoen g
supplied engaged i
f:
factshigh
en which the following statements political and military service in the
are founded. It appears highly probable from these that further in-
quiries will load to a most favourable result, and issue in the final
establishment of the Company on satisfactory (late. In that ease the
Company will be established ender a charter from the Government In
India, and if necessary a charter from the Crown will subsequently
be applied for.
In this state of things the Provisional Directors consider themselves
Justified in laying the proposed undertaking before the public. It has
been agreed that the capital of the Company shall be fixed at 6,000,0001.,
iu shares of SOL each, making 120,000 shares, upon which it will be re-
quired that a deposit of 21. 10s. per share shall be paid at the time of
Lune. The amount of these deposits will be invested in Exchequer
Bills or East India Bonds, or in such other securities as may be con-
sidered safe ; and as the disbursements of the Great Indian Railway
Company will be limited to such expenses as may arise out of pro-
ceedings necessarily connected with the preliminary surveys, and to
such other charged as are incidental to its general management, It
may be safely assumed that the interest to accrue on deposits will al-
most, if not altogether, defray all the expenses of a preliminary cha-
racter. If, therefore, it should be hereafter judged to be inexpedient
to carry out the present intentions of the Great Indian Railway Com-
pany, either from the unfavourable reports of the engineer officers, or
trim the support to be given to the Railway Company by the He-
nourable the East India Company, under the permission of her
Majesty's Government, not being considered adequate by a majority
of the Shareholders, the deposit of 21. 10s. per share, and the interest
which shall have accrued upon its investment, will be retuned sub-
ject to the payment of all necessary expenses.
It is not intended to proceed until after the report of the engineers
in India shall have been received, and the result of the investigation
duly submitted to the Shareholders, nor in any came is it intended to
execute the line, except in portions ; and the calls will only be made
with reference to the portions so commenced. It is proposed that
the lime to be undertaken by this Company shall commence at Bom-
bay, ascend the Western Ghauts, and pass Ahmednuggur into the
valley of the Godavery ; it will then traverse the plains which skirt
that river until it has crossed the Maniere, a few miles beyond whiek
it will turn towards the south-east, fallowing a series of connected
and fertile valleys, and on emerging from this district, near Kum-
niummet, it will take a nearly straight course to the Godavery, which
it will pass a few miles above Rajamundry, and then proceed to its
terminus at Corings. Four branches will fame from suitable points
on the main line ; those to the north will terminate for the present
at the frontiers of Candeish, and at Nagpoor, the latter having a
sub-branch to Oonirawutty ; these will form the first portions of lines
hereafter extending to the Ganges and Calcutta ; those to the south
will extend to Shoolapoor and Hydrabad, and be capable of being
eventually continued to Madras.
From the groat field of India, as yet unappropriated by railway en-
terprise, this main line has been selected, ou account of its great and
numerous advantages. It will have a large present goods traffic; it
passes through countries whose susceptibility of improvement will
occasion great increase of its traffic; it connects the two coasts;
and, with the aid of steam navigation iu the Bay of Bengal, will give
present speedy communication between the three presidencies, in ad-
vance of its ultimate effect, their connexion by railway. One terminus
is the noble port of Bombay, the other is the only harbour on the Co-
romandel coast. The route selected by which it traverses the eastern
side of the peninsular is certainly the beet to be found, and probably
the only one which will not require heavy works and stationary en-
gines. Its branches reach to most important districts and cities, and
will form the first portions of railways of great importance hereafter.
It will greatly increase and cheapen the supply of cotton from India
to England and China, and strengthen the political influence of
England in India and the adjacent countries.
The length of the main line and branches will be about 1,300 miles ;
the cost, including the apparatus required for the assent of the
I Western Gliauts,will probably not reach 6,000,0001. This estimate is
founded on careful inquiry into the costs in India of such structures
as will be suitable to the circumstances and traffic of the country.
The amount of tonnage to be expected on each half of the line is
about 230,000 tons per annum, of which the greater part is salt, ftom
the coast to the interior, and cotton in the other direction. The price
of carriage in these parts of India is nowhere less than 316 d. per ton
per mile, and then only in the few cases of carts on level roads. The
greater part of it is done by droves of small oxen, travelling six or
seven miles a day, at a charge of more than Bd. per ton per mile.
Since railways can be worked as cheaply in India as in England, and
the English charge, which bears a profit, is 2d. per ton per mile, it
follows that the English charge can safely be made in India, and will
at once ensure the traffic, and bring ample returns to the share-
holders. The annual receipts calculated on the foregoing data will
amount to 1,091,6661., and the cost of working the live, according
to the best information which can at present be obtained, will be
little more than one-half that sum, leaving a surplus available for
a dividend of 81,4 per cent. These results, though stated in gross and
roughly, are founded on careful inquiry, and analysis
already obtained from the authentic sources lc interfere with
referred to. No injurious competition can in fact of wo t

This important line of railway will commence near the Midland
Comities Station at Nottingham, whence, after crossing the navi-
gable River Trent, the line will proceed through or near Bridgeford,
llolme, Ratcliffe, and the intermediate villages, Bingham, Hot-
tosford, Whatton, Elton, the rich and fertile Vale of Belvoir,
to the town of Grantham, thence passing through or near
Folkinghant and Bourn, or ono of them, to Spalding, Long Sutton,
Sutton-bridge, and King's Lynn,and there joining the intended Lynn and
East Dereluim Railway, will form the most direct hue of connexion be-
tween the Eastern Counties, and the great and populous manufac-
turing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire, by means
of the projected Grand Union Extension line to Amber Gate, and
other lines north of Nottingham ; and by means of the line to
Yarmouth will also form a communication between the Eastern and
Western coasts of the Kingdom.
The Southern parts of Lincolnshire, and the North Eastern parts of
Cambridgeshire, will be afforded a direct facility of intercourse with
seine of the best markets in England.
The neighbourhood of Nottingham being the most Eastern part
mf the Great Midland Coal Field, this Line will afford a supply of
Coals, as well as being the medium of transit of Derbyshire Lime
and Stone to the Agriculturists of South Lincolnshire, at a conside-
rably cheaper rate than by any other existing or projected Line ; in
short, the vast mineral wealth of the Midland District, will be reit-
lered available to the whole of the great agricultural country East
of Yottingham.
Surveys are now In progress, and the nature of the country is
inovrn to offer no serious engineering difficulties, and a great portion
of the Line will be nearly a dead level. The consideration of an ex-
tension of the Line from Spalding or Long Cotton to Wisbeach„ will
also form a portion of the scheme.

The Repoil of the Board of Trade on the Lines through Lincoln.
Adm., says :
" The total cost attending the transmission of a quarter of wheat
:row the interior of Lincolushire, by sea, from the port of Boston to
London, includiag freight, insurance, lighterage, commission, and
other charges, is stated to amount to very near Ss. The charge by
Railway per quarter (allowing five quarters to the ton, at the charge
d. per ton, per mile, at which the estimate of the Cambridge
and Llucobe Railway is taken) would not exceed 25., and the re-
maining charges are calculated not to execad 2s. 6d., thus showing
a benefit to the eoru growers and to the public of 3a. 6d. per quarter,
occasioned by the saving of the sums now paid for insarance,
relay, loss in weight, depreciation of quality, lighterage, &c."
" A still more important advantage to the Farmer is afforded by
the opportunity given by railway communications of availing himself
:,romptly of the most favourable market. It frequently happens that
owing to the delay and difficulty of transmission, the Farmer is com-
pelled to sell his what at the nearest provincial market at a pries
considerably below the average rate, and to lose the advantage of a
temporary rise."
" Whatever tends to equalise prices and to prevent excessive fluc-
tuations cannot but be considered as a benefit both to the producer
and the consumer. We are satisfied that much may be done in this
way by an economical and well arranged system of railway com-
munication." _ .

The same remarks apply to the whole of the great maaufacturing
districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire.

While the City of Bristol has taken the lead in some of the great
improvements of the age, and many public works have been carried
into effect IT the enterprise and perseverance of her inhabitants, It is
remarkable that she still remains subject to one of the greatest sokal
' and commercial evils which can be endured by the population of a
large city.

tieh, however, is the fact, and the occupiers of the residences of
the more opulent, the manufacturers in many largo establishments,
the trading population in the centre and principal streets, the
crowded inmates of the dwellings of the working classes and the
poor, are all, more or less, suffering from the want of adequate sup-
plies of pure water. _ _

On reference to the official Report of the Commissioners lately pre-
sented to both Houses of Parliament by command of her Majesty, it
will be found that the defective supply of water to the City of Bristol
is alluded to in the following forcible manner :
" The City of Bri-tol, containing, with Clifton,l3o,ooo inhabitants, Is
not supplied with water under the provisions of any act of Parliament,
and the supply is most inadequate, probably more so than in any town of
equal size in England ; it Is estimated that not more than 5,000 per-
sons, constituting the most wealthy families in Bristol and Clifton, are
supplied with water by pipes laid on to their houses, the remainder
are dependant on public and private wells."
" These are very numerous, but the water is frequently unfit fel*
use; being tainted by the feculent matter from the cesspools, which
oozes through the porous soil, and intermingles with the water. The
extremely filthy condition of the habitations of the poor in Bristol is
attributed by the medical men, whose statements are cited in the
Report en that City, to the great deficiency and the difficulty of ob-
taining water."
'With a view to remedy this greet evil, the gentlemen whose names
are attached to this prospectus, after meeting, and conferring• with
many of their fellow-citizens, have formed themselves into a Provi-
sional Committee to establish Water Works, on a scale c mome prate
with the present wants and the increasing requirements of the popu-
e
lation, and they now invite the aid and co-operation of other gentle-
men desirous to see this great improvement effected, so that Bristol
may no longer remain in the almost singular position of being the
only large city in the kingdom without this groat, and, indeed, indis-
pensable accommodation.
Assuming more moderate charges to be made by the Bristol Wate
Works Company, fur en unlimited supply of pure filtered water de-
r
livered into every tenement in Bristol and its suburbs, than are now
incurred for the scanty supplies of the inferior water, as described in
the Report of the Commiss.oners, with a moderate additich from the
proprietors of breweries, manufacturers, hotels, baths, and other es.
tablishments requiring large supplies, the Committee are convinced
that their calculations of a lull return on the capital aro founded on a
just basis.
In all other cities and towns, where similar works have been esta-
blished, they have been attended with great advantage to the public,
combined with fair profit to the proprietors ; and in Bristol, which
the Report of her Majesty's Commissioners shows to be so deficient
in this most important provision, it cannot be doubted that similar
results must follow.
