London and Birmingham Railway, Office,
Euston Station, June 27, 1845.
Dear Sir,—Referring to your letters of the 19th and 25th instant,
. .

I am instructed to inform you, that the Directors have consented to
the free conveyance over this railway of stock and implements en-
tered bona fide for show at the Country Meetings of the Royal Agri-
cultural Society ; and for the free passage of carriages and horses be-
longing to coach proprietors for use between Shrewsbury and Staf-
ford, or Wolverhampton, by parties who have travelled to either of

EMPLOYMENT.—Persons having a little time
to spare are apprised that Agents continue to be appointed in
London, and country towns, by the EAST INDIA TEA COMPANY,
for the sale of their celebrated teas.

Ofilc,es, No. 9, Great St. Helen's-churchyard, Bishopsgate-street.
They are packed in showy leaden canisters, from one ounce to a
pound, with the price and weight marked on each packet, and but
little trouble is occasioned by the sale. The license is only l Is. per
annum, and many during the last nineteen years have realised con-
siderable incomes by the agency without one shilling let or loss.
Application to be made (if by letter post-paid) as above.

CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS.
roEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully
stood the test a six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use,
they have been adopted by the official authorities of the Houses of
Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office,
Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other
Clnb-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many
other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of
gas have passed through some of these meters without regula-
tion or repair, and which are still working to the entire satisfaction
of the gas company and consumers.
All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited
to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from
the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im-
perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry
Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his
meters.

Testimonials from the most eminent and scientific men and large
consumers can be had on application (or will be furwarded by post),
free of expense, at the Manufactory, 67, St. Martin's-lane, London.

BETTS'S PATENT METALLIC CAPSULES
possess the following properties, and are now practically
admitted to be the only security for effectually preserving the con-
tents of bottles, jars, pots, &c.
They are applicable to these vessels, of every size and shape, from
the smallest phial to the mouth of a jar or pot three inches in
diaraeter
They are made of a metal free from every impurity, non-corrosive
in its nature, and consequently, not subject to oxidation, nor pervious
to moisture.
They preserve the contents of the vessels to which they are applied
perfectly air-tight ; thus securing them from becoming vapid, :mouldy,
or fetid.

They effectually protect the Corks from the ravages of insects, and
the noxious influence of the musk rat and other vermin.
They supersede the use of wire, wax, bladder, &c., and the uni-
versally acknowledged inefficiency of tin-foil ; the capsule being made
of solid metal, has not only sufficient strength of itself to secure effer-
vescing liquids, but is much handsomer in appearance than the above
useless tinsel, besides having the advantage of being applied with
much greater ease and rapidity.
They have also the very important property of affording absolute
security against the possibility of fraudulent substitutions.
In addition to the advantages before enumerated, the use of the
Capsules prevents the liquid from oozing out of the mouth of the
bottle, completely removes all cause of complaints (particularly in
tropical climates), against the adhesion of the wax and other coating
matter, to the fingers, when the cork is extracted—staining every-
thing with which it comes in contact; and prevents the falling of
such offensive matter into the bottle or glass, which frequently dete-
riorates, and even destroys, the natural properties of the liquid.
Exporters desirous of availing themselves of this valuable inven-
tion, in giving their orders for Wines, Ales, Porter, Cider, Preserved
Fruits, Vinegar, Pickles, Sauces, Chemicals, Oils, Mustard, Ink,
Blacking, &c., &c., need only direct their tradesmen to cover the
bottles, or other packages, with the Patent Metallic Capsule, which
will not incur extra expense.

factory, No. I, WHARF-ROAD, CITY-ROAD.

J. Barrett, Esq., London

This railway is intended to connect the midland counties and towns
of Ireland with the cities and harbours of Limerick, Waterford, and
Dublin ; and passing through the rich district of the Golden Vale, the
most productive land in the south, embraces the traffic of the best
inland towns in Ireland, amongst which may be mentioned Clonmel,
Kilkenny, Carrick-on-Suir, Thurles, Callan, Killenaule, Fethard, &c.
The districts traversed by this line are well known for their rich-
ness in all articles of export, such as Corn, Flour, Cattle, Better,
Pigs, Eggs, Fowls, Ste. &c., and are not less remarkable for the con-
sumption of the ordinary commodities forming the import trade of
Ireland.
This line is intended to commence in the eastern suburbs of the
town of Clonmel, and thence passing by Fethard, runs close to the
Slievardagh collieries, keeping parallel with, and contiguous to the
coal district for upwards of seven miles ; it passes through the town
of Callan, and holding nearly a direct line, enters the city of Kil-
kenny on the north-west side, near the new cathedral, where a fa-
vourable site for aconvenient terminus presents itself. At Kilsheelan
it is intended to construct a branch from the Limerick and Water-
ford Railway, which, sweeping round the base of Slievenaman, will
unite with the main line near Feshard. The Thurles branch is in-
tended to leave the main trunk line at Fethard, and passing near
Killenaule and through the coal-fields of Slievardagh, will form a
junction with the Dublin and Cashel Railway at Thurles. Until the
traffic of this latter branch becomes more fully developed, it is in-
tended to work it as a single line, taking land, however, and making
the permanent works for a double way. The present quantity of
coals and cuim raised at the Slievardagh collieries, amounts annually
to over 80,000 tons, the greater portion of which is brought to the
towns of Thurles, Fethard, Callen, and their vicinities; and there
can be no doubt that the advantages afforded by railway transit will
have the effect of Increasing the present consumption of this article
to a very considerable extent throughout this large and improving
Agricultural district.
There arc not any engineering difficulties, and the grudients arc
most favourable. The absence of tunnelling, viaducts, or other
works of magnitude will enable the line to be constructed at a very
moderate expense.
The population of the thickly-inhabited country adjacent to, and
traversed by the Railway, cannot be taken at less than a million, and
the Railway Commissioners' Reports, with their passenger and
traffic returns of 1836 (which may be referred to) show that the
principal streams of intercourse in lhe central parts of Ireland are
along the course this line of railways intended to take.
The value of the exports and imports of Limerick and Waterford,
according to the Commissioners'•Reports, amounted, in 1836, to up-
wards of four millions and a half sterling. It has been ascertained
that at the present time it amounts to considerably more ; and when
it is considered that the chief supply and consumption of the trade of
the above-named ports depends upon the localities traversed by
this Railway and its branches, no doubt can be entertained that
the principal intercourse through the Midland Comities of Ireland
will be carried on this line. .
In its course by Killenaule the line intersects the Well-known col-
lieries of Slievardagh (which are now worked most prosperously
by the Mining Company of Ireland), and its extension to Nenagh
will connect the Middle Shannon (the improvements of which
noble river are progressing rapidly) with tile Harbour of Waterford,
by a nearly direct line through the most fertile and populous dis-
trict in the Southern and Central parts of Ireland.
The branch from Callen to the Waterford and Kilkenny Railway at
Kells, about three miles in length, will not only form a valuable
feeder to the main trunk-line, but will also afford direct Railway
communication between the central parts of the county of Kilkenny,
and the south and south-west of Ireland.
This projected Railway, connecting Clonmel with the city of Kil-
kenny, being the two principal inland towns in Ireland, secures the
largest and most valuable streams of traffic in the interior of the
country. It will form A valuable auxiliary to the proposed lines in
the south and north of Ireland now before Parliament.
The data ffirnished by the Railway Commissioners of the traffic
of the localities traversed by this Railway have been carefully exa-
mined, and they have been ascertained to be considerably below the
present traffic. Without calculating on any increase of merchandise,
or other existing traffic than that arising from passengers, and after
deducting 40 per cent. from the gross receipts for working expenses,
on a very moderate tariff of charges, there remains a net profit of
upwards of 56,0001. per annum, being more than 9 per cent. on the
capital.

RWAY.

The provisional Committee beg to announce to the shareholders
that, in consequence of strongly expressed local opinion, and with a
view to secure the valuable support of the Leicester and Swanning-
ton Railway Company, the provisional Committee have determined
on depositing plans and sections for an alternative line, to form a
junction with the Leicester and Swannington Railway at Desford,
about six miles from Leicester.

This junction will afford an equally short communication with
Leicester, and save the expense of several miles of new line, and
will at the same time, by means of projected communications,
branches, extensions, and improvements of the Leicester and Swan-
nington Railway, give direct access to Ashby and Burton-on-Trent
to the North, and to the Syston and Peterborough Railway, or East,
affording a direct line of communication from Cheltenham, Warwick,
Leumington, and Coventry, to Melton, Peterborough, Cambridge,
and Lincoln.

The Directors have the satisfaction to inform the Proprietors that
they have succeeded in obtaining from His Royal Highness the grand
Duke of Tuscany, in preference to twenty-two competitors, a grant
for sixty years, of a railway from Florence to Pestoja, on terms highly
advantageous to the Company. This line presents no engineering
difficulty, and passes through a district densely populated, and rich in
mineral and agricultural productions, and will be connected with the
railway already in operation between Leghorn and Pisa, by means of
the line now forming from Pisa to Florence. The capital will consist
of 8,000,000 of Tuscan llvres, equal to about 265,000/. sterling, one-
third of which has been already subscribed for in Tuscany, and the
Directors have secured the remaining two-thirds, which will be dis-
tributed, so soon as the necessary documents have been perfected in ,
Italy, to such holders of the Italian and Austrian Railway Company's
shares as shall have complied with the terms of the advertisement,
by which a call was made of 2/. per share, payable on the 21st July
instant. Under the original prospectus the Directors were authorised
to take every necessary step to obtain Government grants for the
railway from Verona to Ancona, and to coalesce or make beneficial
arrangements with any companies proposing to construct lines of
railway in connexion with the Italian and Austrian Railway Com-
pany or its branches, and the deputation who proceeded to Italy
having found that they could, with great advantage to the Share-
holders, enter upon other railway undertakings in the Italian and
Austrian States, besides the line between Ancona and Verona, deter-
mined upon doing so, and upon giving to the Shareholders the option
of joining these undertakings. The Directors, therefore, tendered for
the valuable grant they have now obtained for the railway from
Florence to Pestoja, and also have entered upon several other nego-
tiations, which, through the aid of the wealthy and influential
parties with whom they are connected at Rome, Bologna, and other
places in Italy, they feel confident will be brought to a successful ter-
mination. The benefits resulting from these negotiations will, as
they arise, be rateably apportioned to those Preprietors who shall
pay such calls as shall be made from time to time by the Directors
for carrying out fully the objects in contemplation.

G. H. D. LAURENCE, Secretary.

BIDEFORD and TAVISTOCK RAILWAY.
(Registered Provisionally.)
The Committee of Management, taking into consideration that the
Cornwall Railroad Company (South-Coast) is likely to obtain its Act
this session, and that the Plymouth and Tavistock Railway Com-
pany (atmospheric) will be postponed until next session, and also
considering the very urgent recommendations made to their de-
putation, which recently went into Devonshire, have to announce
to the Shareholders of the Bideford and Taristock Company their in-
tention of making a Branch from Tavistock to Liskeard, the
gradients of which have, on the examination of their engineers,
proved far more favourable than had been anticipated, by
which Branch the Bideford and Tavistock Company will be-
come part of the grand trunk line from Falmouth via Lis-
keard and Exeter, to London. One hour 1%111 thus be
saved (taking into account the half hour in passing the
Ilamoaze), as compared with the journey from Exeter to Liskeard,
as at present proposed ; that is to say, from Exeter to Plymouth
over the South Devon line, and from Plymouth to Liskeard over part
of the Cornwall line.

The Bideford and Tavistock Company also propose another branch
from Tavistock to Plymouth, the course of which, with favourable
gradients, has been surveyed. The carrying out of this branch will
secure great additional traffic, by offering a passage from Exeter to
Plymouth on a line of very superior gradientsr- and only about three
miles longer than that on the South Devon line. .

A map-and prospectus will be published' in a few days. In the
meantime applications for shares may be made to the Secretary, 30,
Basinghall-street, accompanied with references.
In the allotment of shares a preference will be given to the present
holders of scrip in the Bideford and Tavistock Company.
