This undertaking, comprising a distance of sixty miles in length,
has been entered upon as a further continuation of the lines already
made and contemplated on the southern coast. But previous Us
any application to the public for support, the projectors called a
public meeting, which was, in the month of May last, held at
Southampton, and consisted of the principal nobility, gentry, and
landholders of the county of Dorset and the south-western part of
the county of Hants. At this meeting a Committee of noblemen
and gentlemen of the greatest influence in both counties was no.
minated to inquire into the practicability of the undertaking, and
they appointed Captain W. S. Moorsora, civil engineer, to survey
the country between Southampton and Dorchester, to adopt the
best lir.e, and to make an estimate of its cost ; and, under the powers
given hire, he appointed Mr. Pare to ascertain what traffic was
likely to support the line, if made.
At a subsequent meeting, held at Dorchester on the 19th July
last (which was one of the most numerous and influential meetings
ever held in the county of Dorset), the Committee appointed at
the former meeting made a report, from which the following is an
extract :

" Your Committee report, that on this day (the 18th July) Cap-
tain Moorsom and Mr. Pare (who had been employed by Captain
Moorsom under the powers given him by us, in the last clause of
our instructions, for the purpose of accurately examining into the
traffic upon the proposed line), attended and presented their re-
ports. These reports have undergone a thorough examination by
us, and your Committee feel Justified in laying them before you,
and reporting that they are perfectly accurate, and such as will
warrant your acting upon them.

" Your Committee having duly weighed the statements made to
them by Captain Moersom and Mr. Pare, consider themselves jus-
tified in reporting to you that there are unusual facilities for con-
structing a railway from Southampton to Dorchester, by way of
Redbridge, Brockenhurst, Burley, Ringwood, Wimborne, Ham.
worthy, and Wareham; most convenient for the public in general,
as well as for the towns in its locality, and that the same can be
made for the sum of 450,0001., including all charges.
" We further report that the traffic) upon the line is sufficient to
lea, e a clear net profit of net less than 8 1. per eent. during the
first five years, which Mr. Pare has no doubt will be increased
subsequently.
" Your Committee therefore confidently recommended the
immediate formation of a Company for carrying out an object so
eminently desirable for the county of Dorset and south-western
part of the county of Hants.
" The friendly assistance and expressions of good-will which
Captain Moorsom's surveyors have received in the course of taking
up the line, give evidence that a general support may be relied on,
as soon as use main features of the undertaking come to be Hilly
understood.

" It is Captain Moorsom's opinion that the line may be opened
in twelve months from the time when the possession of the land
shall have been obtained."

It was then unanimously resolved by the meeting that this Com-
pany should be formed with a capital of 450.000/., in shares of
50/. each. _ _ .

Since the above report of the Committee was made a fresh esti-
mate of the traffic has been rendered necessary by the additional
trade which will flow to it out of the lines projected by the Great
Western Railway, from Corsham and Taunton to Yeovil, and
thence to Dorchester and Weymouth, with a branch to Bridport.
These calculations have justified the Provisional Committee i■
order to provide bridges and land for a double line, in increasing
the capital to 509,000/., upon which Mr. Pare estimates a net
return of not less than seven per cent. _ _

The advantages of coast lines for Government purposes and for
the defence of the country, are too obvious to require comment,
and the evident inclination of Parliament shown in the past session,
to promote a continuous line of railway along the coast, coupled
with the great local support already shown, and the careful exa-
mination into the estimate of expense and traffic prior to the forma.
Con of a Company, give to this line the greatest claim to the sup-
port of the public, as tending to insure both its stability and success.
A * arrangement, subject to the sanction of the Board of Trade,
has been made for leasing this line to the Great Western Compaq,
that Company guaranteeing Si per cent. upon the capital, and
agreeing to divide the net profits equally with the Shareholders in
this Company.
Arrangements are also in a state of great forwardness with emi-
nent contractors for the performance of the entire works, at such a
sum as to render certain the completion of the undertaking within
the amount and time specified.
It is intended to apply to Parliament for an Act in the next ses-
sion, and the usual clause limiting the liability of Shareholders to
the amount of their subscription will be inserted.
Applications for shares may be made in the subjoined form to
Messrs. W. 0. and W. Hunt, solicitors, 10, Whitehall; to Messrs.
Laurence, Cazeiove, and Co., Auction Mart, London ; to Messrs.

Messrs. Hydes and Tymbs,
The line from Worcester, with a branch to tho Severn, is in.
tended to pass near the towns of Fershore, 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 more desirable point of junction for
public accommodation than Weedon. rho 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 lino 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 Bir-
mingham 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 nece L
ssary result, the ondon 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 dl.
rection and personal superintendence of Mr. Robert Stephenson,
who reports that it is free from any considerable engineering dif-
ficulties.
Estimates of the traffic have been prepared, showing a return
upon the expenditure sufficient to induce the Directors of the Lon-
don 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 far the Proprietorswill of the
London and Birmingham Company ; and the remainder the
London
to parties having local interess, and other applicants.
Interest, at the rate of 4 I,er cent.t per annum, will be paid half.
yearly on the deposits and calls, from the time of payment.

Since the Prospectus of this Railway was issued to the Public,
the South-Eastern 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 L was proposed to carry out the Railway from Faver.
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.
Lion 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.
wlch-park, by Blackheath, Charlton, Woolwich, Plumstead, Wick.
ham, Bexley Heath, Crayford, Dartford, Stone, and Northfieet, to
Gravesend, and thence to Stroed, Rochester, Chatham, and Bromp-
ton, crossing the Medway by a permanent bridge, and thence by
Rainham, Milton, Sittingbourne and Faversham, to Chilham and
Canterbury, falling into the Ashford branch at or near the latter
City.
The Committee will at the same time apply for powers to com-
plete the Line to Ramsgate and Margate, in case the South-Eastern
Company shall not effectually carry out their Line.
The undertaking will remain subject to any modifications which
may be considered advisable by the Committee, or be required by
the Government.
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 capital of 1,500,0001.
By the proposed modification of the Line, the capital will be re-
duced t• 1,250,000!., 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.
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 1,491,923, 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 their 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 fur Shares will be
received after that day.

A deposit of W. 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

EDWARD PRICE and CO., Patentees and Sole
Manufacturers of the COMPOSITE CANDLES, respectfully
call the attention of the Public to the fact, that, although the price of
these is somewhat higher than that of ordinary mould Candles, they
are in reality much cheaper than these latter; one real Composite
Candle giving about the same quantity of light as three of the moulds.
They require no snuffing, and burn more brilliantly than the best
wax. The purposes of economy and luxury are therefore both served
at the same time by the use of these Candles. Parties intending to
try them for the first time, are earnestly requested to take care that
they are served in the shops with " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES:"
the reason for this caution is given elsewhere.
They are sold by most of the respectable tallow chandlers through-
out the kingdom, and wholesale to the trade by Edward Price and
Co., Belmont, Vauxhall; and by .Palmer and Co., Sutton-street,
Clerkenwell.

which constitutes the tint of beauty ; whilst as a refresher it pre.
serves the most susceptible complexion, and sustains to a protracted

In kindly spirit herein counsel's given,
How health, how hope, how happiness to gain."
