The obiect of this Railway is to connect South and North Wales,
the improving and important port and fashionable watering place of
Aberystwith. Shropshire and Cheshire, gm, with Manchester, Lan-
cashire, Yorkshire, Staffordshire, the Potteries, Derbyshire, and the
North of England.
Its course will be a continuation of the Manchester and Birming-
ham Railway from Crewe, through Nantwich, Whitchureh, Elles-
mere, Oswestry, Welshpool, Montgomery, Newtown, and Llanidloes,
terminating at " Cardigan Bay," and the Port of Aberystwith, with
a Branch from Ellesmere to the coal-field of Rhuabon. Preliminary
surveys have been made, and it preffents no engineering difficulties,
and is remarkably favourable for cheap construction.
This line is especially called for by the local wants of the districts,
is not a competing line with any existing or proposed Railway, and
will he the only direct route from Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Leominster,
Hereford, Aberystwith, Machynlleth, Rhyader, Lhndloes, Newtown,
Bishop-Castle, Montgomery, Welshpool, Llanfyllin, Dolgelly, Liam-
gollen, Rhuabon, Chirk, Overton, Oswestry, Ellesmere, Went, Prees,
Whitchurch, Audlem, and Nantwich, to the Staffordshire Potteries,
Warrington, Manchester, and the whole of Lancashire and York-
shire, thus accommodating a population of not less than 300,000 indi-
viduals.
And, by means of this line and "the Trent Valley Continuation
Railway," it will give the only communication by Railway from
Market Drayton, Malpas, Wrexham, and Mold, with the above-
named districts and towns.
And, jointly with the " Trent Valley Continuation Railway," will
be the most direct line from Oswestry, Wem, Ellesmere, Llangollen,
Overton, and Rhuabon, to Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and London.
It is a most important fact that Crewe, the Terminus of this line,
is the centre of five existing or proposed Railways, embracing the
immense locomotive establishments of those Railways, and the branch
from this line proceeds to the great iron-works and coal-field of
Rhuabon. Engineers and scientific men have fully established the
fact, that the coal of this district is the finest in Europe for the ma-
nufacture of coke, and by this Railway it will be brought directly to
the before-named locomotive establishments, and also be the means
of supplying the interior of Wales with coal, much better, and at a
lower price than at present.
It will greatly benefit the extensive agricultural population of
South and North Wales, the Vale of Clwyd, Shropshire, and Cheshire,
which will obtain a cheap and quick transit for their agricultural
produce to the Crewe establishments, and the manufacturing dis-
tricts of the Potteries and Manchester, including the whole of Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, and also to Birmingham and London.
The importance to the several counties through which this Railway
will pass, of access to the safe harbour of Aberystwith, cannot be
overrated. A great intercourse and interchange of commodities
must take place between the agricultural districts, the coal and iron
mines of Wrexham and Rhuabon, and the flannel manufactories of
Welshpool, Newtown, Sc., with Manchester.
The existing traffic is very considerable, and a glance at the ac-
companying map will show at once the great resources of this Hue ;
and, it is manifest, that it certainly must become one of the most
valuable and productive lines in the kingdom.
Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate of 41. per
cent. on all deposits and calls paid up, after the passing of the Act.
Applications for Prospectuses, Plans, and Shares, may be made to
the Secretary, at the Office, 78, King William-street, City, London,
and the following Share-Brokers :—Thomas Allsop, Esq., 34, Corn-
hill ; Messrs. Barclay and Mercier, Shorter's-court, Throgmorton-

FORM OF APPLICATION.

number, and pay the deposit of 11. Is. Gd. per Share, and sign the
Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement when required.

composite and rubbish have had their day, and Royal Candles hence
will lead the way. A pure white flame ! They snuff themselves, are
as hard as alabaster, purer than wax, glossy as glass, and cheap as

and CANAL PROPULSION COMPANY.
Provisionally Registered.
Capital 600,0001., in 60,000 shares of 10/. each.
Instalment 11 per Share.
Since the issuing of the former Prospectus, the Provisional Direc-
tors have considered it desirable to negotiate with the Patentee for
his whole right of patents, instead of confining themselves to the
United Kingdom and Ireland, as originally proposed ; and the Direc-
tors have now the satisfaction of announcing to the public that they
have agreed for the purchase of the British and Foreign right of Pil-
brow's Atmospheric Railroad and Canal Propulsion Patents. By this
extended arrangement the Directors have obtained the patents upon
much more advantageous terms for the proprietary, in consequence
of which the amount of call necessary to carry out the object and
intention of the Company will be greatly diminished, and the pros-
pect of immediate return considerably increased.
In lieu of Five Pounds, One Pound per share la considered ample to
cover the expenses of purchase, and to lay down a line of sufficient
length to prove the superiority of Pilbrew's Atmospheric principle.
The arrangement of this undertaking, however. necessarily involves
many changes ; the amount of capital and the number of shares must
be considerably augmented, but the shares will still be continued at
the same amount, viz., Ten Pound shares, to meet the wishes of the
original applicants.
An instalment of One Pound per share will be required on the
signing of the deed of settlement.

The prominent advantages of this system of Atmospheric traction,
are, that the continuous valve is dispensed with ; roads are crossed
noon a level without interruption of main ; one atmospheric railway
can be intersected by another, thus saving bridges, approaches, and
leakage ; and it is confidently expected that a stationary engine every
ten miles will be sufficient.
The system combines extreme simplicity with perfect efficiency,
and that obtained with a small comparative expense in working and
construction.
It is estimated that a saving altogether upon the other plans of
Atmospheric Railways (having the continuous valve) will be nearly
3,0001. per mile; twcrmains or lines can, on this plan, be laid for
little more than the cost of one, upon the other plans ; and a saving
or working in annual expense of two-thirds.
Increased safety is insured, also obstruction and destntetion by
weather and other sources are placed beyond probability by the
mains being buried, &c.
The objects of the Company will be to dispose of foreign patents ;
to grant licences to Railway and Canal Companies to use the
invention, or lay down the works under contracts wit& the different
Companies ; and to lay down an experimental line in the neighbour-
hood of the metropolis, by agreement with an existing company or
otherwise.
The income derivable from these sources offers considerable advan-
tages, while the expenses, with the exception of the purchase of the
patents, and laying down the experimental line, are obviously small.
A Model, upon a scale of one inch to the foot, may be seen at work
on Wednesdays and Thursdays, between twelve and three o'clocl,
at the Company's offices, by application to the Secretary or Officers
of the Company.

THE SONG OF THE SUMMER BLOUSE!

Whilst others exult in their beautiful dress
On "Coats and Surtouts" lay a wonderful stress,
Why thousands my usefulness gladly espouse,
And cherish with rapture the light Summer Blouse I
Oh let but the dust in a whirlwind arise,
An envelope certain my presence supplies ;
In the heat of the sun you may gladly carouse,
If attired in the garb of the light Summer Blouse I
For railway excursions or trips on theses,
Oh 1 what is so useful and pleasant as Me ?
I'm light as a fairy—the world too it knows
What comfort there's found in the light Summer Blouse
B. HYAM determined all others to beat,
He rates me too cheap, though my value is great !
Whilst thousands and thousands he constantly shows
The price " three-and-six," for the light Summer Blouse l
Then ere the bright sun with its scorching hot rays,
And Whitsuntide comes with its great holidays !
Amidst the gay scenes if you wish to carouse,
First purchase of IIYAM a light Summer Blouse ! !

D ERBY AND CREWE JUNCTION
RAILWAY, BY THE POTTERIES.

(Provisionally registered).

Capital, 900,0001., In '36,000 Shares of 251. each.—Deposit, 21. per

Share.
PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT,

The project is intended to form a direct railway communication
between Derby and the Midland and Eastern Counties with the
Potteries, Liverpool and Ireland.
The whole length is about 47 miles. If It be thought expedient,
and an arrangement can be made, to run into the proposed Grand
Junction Potteries' branch at or near Stoke, the length would be not
more than 36 miles.

The population between Derby and the Potteries alone, including
the Termini, is upwards of 150,000, and the Traffic is of a remune-
rating character.

The proposed line proceeds for nearly the entire distance through
the walleye of the Dove, the Teen, and the Blythe, rendering very
slight cuttings necessary, and the gradients of an easy description.
A single glance at the map will tell the very great savlag of dis-
tances that will thus be made between the places proposed to be con-
nected.

One-half of the Shares will be reserved to parties locally interested,
and the remainder will be allotted to those giving unexceptionable
references.

Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at 41. per cent. per
annum on all deposits and calls from payment until the opening of
the line.

The Subscribers' agreement will contain powers to the Provisional
Committee to run into other railways now or hereafter to be
made, and to alter the termini of the proposed line, so that the main
object of the scheme be carried out.

A preliminary survey is now in progress, and a full prospectus with
plans, and the names of the Provisional Committee, will shortly be
published. In the meantime, application for further particulars,
and for Shares, may be made to Mr. SAMUEL EYRE, Sharebroker,
Derby ; and to

OVERLAND MAIL.

INDIA AND CHINA.

(From the Times.)
The intelligence brought by the Indian mail is of considerable
interest. The latest news is from Bombay of the lst of April.
The chief points of Interest are threefold, the Punjaub, the expe-
dition under Sir Charles Napier, and the state of the Sawunt
Warree and Goa districts.

In the Punjaub confusion reigns supreme, and the disorganiza-
tion of Runjeet Sine's kingdom is going rapidly forward, for there
are now several Governments established there. Dhuleep Singh
the boy king, with his mother ruling, and her brother as the Mi:
nister, governs at Lahore, where the Khalsa, or regular troops, will
have everything their own way. Ghoolab Singh has fixed his rule
in his mountain fortress of Janroo, and the notorious Akbar Khan'
son of Host Mabommed, of Caubul, is preparing to seize Pe-
shawur, and to make himself master of the Seikh province, to the
west of the Indus. There were various efforts made by the
Queen-Alother and the Khalsa troops to being about an arrange-
ment with Ghoolab Singh. The troops, called Khalsa, went
towards Janroo to force him into terms, but he by a trick out.
manceuvred their leaders. On approaching his fastnesses the
Seikh army sent vakeels or agents to confer with him as to the
largesse they were to receive; he insisted that deputies from
each regiment should attend. They did so, and he, before he
beard their propositions, spoke of his services and of those of
his family, and contended that the soldiers were not
sufficiently paid, and that he, if in power as Minister,
would have their pay doubled. The soldiers heard this decision
with satisfaction, yet they insisted en having a largesse.
He gave five-lace, and the vakeels were going away with that sum,
when a party of Ghoolab's own soldiers followed them, murdered
the vakeels, and carried back the treasure. This atrocity roused
the spirit of the Khalsa; they advanced in great force to attack
hint, but he defeated them, and forced them to retire back towards
Lahore. This defeat is calculated to produce the most important
consequences, for the Seikhs admit that they have found troops
equal, if not superior to themselves, in the mountaineers. There
was a sort of Convention formed by Ghoolab Singh with the A ff-
ghan leaders, by which the latter were to attack Peshawur while
the former maintained his position in the hills of Janroo. Akbar
Khan went from Jellalabad, where he latterly had stationed him-
self, to see his father at Caubul, and they both, having made ar-
rangements for paying the arrears of their troops, were to set out in
the middle of February, in order to invade the province of Pesha.
wur, which has during more than 20 years been subject to the
Seikhs. Thus the chances of the Seikh kingdom being speedily dis.
organised are very great.

In the meantime the British Government is quietly assembling
a large army on the banks of the Sutlej, for the alleged purpose of
defending its own territories, but to which it is highly probable the
young King Dhuleep and his mother will soon have to apply for
protection. The Khalsa troops some time ago threatened the boy
king and his relations for having exhibited a wish to flee into the
British territory; but it is probable when Peshawur shall be taken,
as anticipated, by the Affghans—when Cash meer shall be threatened
—when Ghoolab Singh shall have established his independence
at Janroo, and when they will find themselves disunited and un.
able to combat with so many enemies, that their opposition will
cease to the entrance of the British army into their territory.
The British troops are awaiting a favourable opportunity for
marching. _

Theexpedition which Sir Charles Napier led into the territories
of the Jakranees, Doomkies, and Boogties, lying in the moun-
tainous tracts to the westward of Peolajee, has been successful.
This enterprising General being determined to introduce good
order into the administration of Sinde, and knowing that while the
plundering tribes were allowed to subsist in their mountain fast-
nesses, and to carry on their depredations with impunity, it would
be useless to expect that industry and good order would thrive in
the neighbouring districts on the banks of the Indlo, resolved to
seize the plunderers in their owns dens, and to remove them to
other places, where they could apply themselves to the arts of
peace and of good neighbourhood. In the month of January
he set out with a large force (7,000) for the purpose.
In order to make rapid movements, he took care to be encumbered
with as little baggage and !usage as possible. The search for the
enemy was long and tedious, and the troops suffered from reduced
rations and other hardships, but at length, after a month's search,
Beejah Khan, the chief leader of the plunderers, and all his fol-
lowers were found in a strong position on the top of a ridge of
hills about 1,000 feet high, to which there was a most difficult in.
gress through a narrow defile. The British General took up his
station and began firing with mortars. The enemy returned the
fire, but fortunately with scarcely any injury. Another means
of entrance was discovered, and promply made use of. The
Murree chiefs served as negotiators; interviews took place between
the General and some of the leaders of the tribes. Some gave
themselves up, others resisted; but they were all captured, with
the exception of Islain Khan, one of the heads of the Boogties.
Their country is to be given over to the honest tribe of the Alur-
rees, who having already learned the advantages of the British
alliance, are disposed to adhere strictly to it. Some of the tribes
are to be removed to the districts bordering on the Incins, where
they will have lands granted to them for cultivation.

The hostility displayed by some of the newspapers towards Sir
Charles Napier has caused them to depreciate or to discolour the
great amelioration which this successful expedition cannot fail to

and peaceable than for the robbers and plunderers. It may there-
fore be useful to caution the reader in Europe of Indian papers
against placing reliance on the erroneous and discoloured state.
ments of some of the Indian papers en this subject. Amongst them
the Bombay Times takes the lead In rancour, virulence, and iujus.
tice towards the illustrious Governor of Sinde.

The affairs of Sawunt Warree have assumed a complex aspect,
in consequence of the Portuguese settlement of Goa becoming
mixed up with the rebellion of the disaffected in those districts.
When the energy and skill of the British troops compelled the re.
volted chiefs to seek safety by flight they got over the Goa fron-
tiers. A reference has been made to Europe on the subject of the
rights of a neutral flag to protect rebels, whom it does not restrain
from continuing their hostility by active measures, and it is ex-
pected that the Courts of Lisbon and London will soon send out
their ultimatum on the subject. As to the conquest of Goa, it
can be easily effected at any season of the year, for the troops there
are few, badly paid, and unaccustomed to warfare.
The settlement of the Southern Mabratta country was going on
favourably; the Bombay Government had shown considerable de_
vision in the arrangements adopted, for not only were the rebels
punished, but the tyrants who had brought about their rebellion by
their oppressive acts were themselves compelled to abandon the
districts. .

—.....—.
The Court.martial for the trial of Lieutenant. Colonel Wallace,
of the Madras army, for disobedience of orders, was assembling at
the end of March at Belgaum.
In the interior of India tranquillity prevails. The Governor.
•eneral, Sir Henry Hardinge, remains at Calcutta, engaged in
forwarding measures for the improvement of the country.
The news from China comes down to the 10th of February ; it
is net remarkable. There was a partial stagnation in business,
arising from the holydays of the Chinese new year.
One of the good results of the establishment of steam communi.
cation between Calcutta and Singapore is the rapidity of intelli.
gence. We have letters and papers from Singapore to the 6th of
March. The principal news relates to the loss of the fine ship
Inglis, belonging to Bombay, which got on shore on the 10th of
January, near Anjeer. Every effort was made to save the ship and
cargo; about a quarter of the cotton on board was saved. The
captain (Isaacson) died some days after at Batavia, of anxiety and
fatigue.

The Singapore Free Press of the 6th of March gives an ac
count of the loss of the Mellish some months back, and also of tha
of the Allowie, an Arab vessel.

The chief fact of interest connected with Bombay relates to the
manner in which the European mails of the *2oth of January and
7th of February arrived there. The former arrived by way of Ma.
dras on the 10th of March, because the Bombay Government re-
fused to give any advantage to a steamer which offered to wait at
Pointe de Galle for the letters. The latter mail (February 7) was
delayed in the Red Sea, in consequence of au accident to the Bere.
nice steamer, and it did not reach Bombay until the :14th March.
If the Hon. Company were to keep a Bombay steamer at Aden, in
order to take on the mails and passengers from Aden to Bombay,
the loss would eventually be nothing, and the advantage would be
that the correspondeßce between the Board of Control and the
Governor-General would be hastened by fifteen days every month.
In a postscript our correspondent mentions the fact that expresses
had arrived at Bombay, announcing the capture by the Goa autho-
rities of Phonde Sawunt, the chief of the Sawunt Warree rebels,
together with several of his adherents. He was wandering through
the Goa jungles when taken. Their wives and families had pre-
viously been taken and kept in custody in a large fortification near
the powder-works at New Goa. The Sawunt Wartee refugees
were confined in the fortress or convent of Reyes Magos, to the
north of the Pangim river.
