RICHMOND and WEST-END JUNCTION
RAILWAY.
The COMMITTEE of this RAILWAY are happy to announceithat
the Board of Trade have declared their intention to report to Parlia-
ment in favour of the undertaking, as well as of the Staines and
Richmond Junction, and the Metropolitan Extension of the Sout
Western Railway. Thus the Richmond Company will have accessh
to an excellent terminus in the metropolis, and also derive a large
additional amount of traffic from the line to Staines.
Active negotiations are in progress with the landowners and hold-
ers of property en the line for the purchase of the ground necessary
for the purposes of the railway; and in far the majority of cases a
highly satisfactory prospect exists of the respective treaties being con-
cluded upon fair and amicable terms.
By an agreement entered into with the Directors of the South-
Western Company, the execution of the most expensive portion of the
line originally adopted by the Richmond will be transferred to the
afwesaid Company ; who have also agreed to furnish the locomotives,
carriages, and working plant of the railway.
The terminus of the line will be that selected by the South-Western
Company for their metropolitan extension, namely, a point situate in
immediate proximity to the entrance of the Hungerford Suspension
Bridge, on the Surrey side.
The easy nature of the works to be accomplished on their part of
the line, which presents no features whatever that can occasion diffi-
culty or delay in their construction, has enabled the Committee to
enter into arrangements, by which the completion of the whole line
will be effected within the period of ten months after the Act shall
have been obtained.

any other yet seen, and bunts for one half-penny per hour.

THE WINTER'S CONFESSION.
I can strip the green leaves from the boughs of the trees,
As I hastily sweep on my turbulent breeze;
1 can blow up the hay—stack, and blow dowit the cot,
And ruin the garde", and goodness knows what.
I can cover the fie'ds with a mantle of snow,
Ant freeze up the stream till it ceases to II iw ;
I can do what the summer has never vet done,
But I, some tow, cau't manage E. MOSES and SON.
Time when I laid people up with a cold,
But no such a story r. ow-a-days, told ;
For MOSES and SON, with habiliments warm,
Contrive to defeat the effects of a storm.
If 1 rattle and tear at the garment; you wear,
I cannot do any one bairn, I declare.
I was trying, ens day, for a terrible " s'apper,"
At a garment of MOSES and SON'S, call'd a " wrapper,"
But 1 bad to exclaim (a,i I often had done)
" I, somehow, can't manage E. MOSES and SON."
I can pinch up the fingers, and tingle the toes,
And colour the "two lips," and redden the nose.
But I cannot do harm to the well.co-,er'd form,
Whatever attempts I may make with my storm ;
ough I strive far a conquest, it never is WOll,
Far I, somehow, can't manage E. MOSES and SON.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
The Public are specially informed that, during the re-erection of
E MOSES and SON'S premises in Aldgate, the entrance to their
establishment is only at 154, Mitiories.
