This important line of railway will commence near the Midland
Counties Station at Nottingham, whence, after crossing the navi-
gable River Trent, the line will proceed through or near Bridgeford,
Holme, Ratcliffe, and the intermediate villages, Bingham, Bot-
tesford, Whatton, Elton, the rich and fertile Vale of Belvoir,
to the town of Grantham, thence passing through or near
Folkingluim and Bourn, or one of them, to Spalding, Long Sutton,
Sutton-bridge, and King's Lynn,and there joining the intended Lynn and
East Dereham Railway, will form the most direct line of connexion be-
tween the Eastern Counties, and the great and populous manufac-
turing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, awl 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
some of the best markets in England.
The neighbourhood of Nottingham being the most Eastern part
of 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 other existing or projected Line ; in
short, the vast mineral wealth of the Midland District, will be ren-
dered available to the whole of the great agricultural country East
of Nottingham.
Surveys are now in progress, and the nature of the country is
known 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 Sutton to Wisbeach, will
also form a portion of the scheme.
The Report of the Board of Trade on the Lines through Lincoln-
shire, says :
" The total cost attending the transmission of a quarter of wheat
from the interior of Lincolnshire, by sea, from the port of Boston to
London, including freight, insurance, lighterage, commission, and
other charges, is stated to amcunt to very near Bs. The charge by
Railway per quarter (allowing five quarters to the ton, at the charge
of 11,4 d. per ton, per mile, at which the estimate of the Cambridge
and Lincoln Railway is taken) would not exceed 25., and the re-
maining charges are calculated not to exceed 2s. 6d.N thus showing
a benefit to the corn growers and to the public of 3s. 6d. per quarter,
occasioned by the saving of the sums now paid for insurance,
delay, 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
promptly of the most favourable market. It frequently happens tha-
owing to the delay and difficulty of transmission, the Farmer is coins
pelled to sell his wheat at the nearest provincial market at a price
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 he considered as a benefit both to the producer
nd the consumer. We are satisfied that much may be done in the
aay by an economical and well arranged system of railway corn-
wunication."
The same remarks apply to the whole of the great manufacturing
districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire.
The great quantity of land, amounting to 100,000 acres, about
to be redeemed from the sea by a company, with Sir John Rennie, as
Engineer for the promoters, and Mr. Rendel, for the Corporation of
Lynn, must ultimately prove of great advantage to this under-
taking. And, it it is conceived, that the Grand Union Railway must
meet with the cordial co-operation of the Midland Railways, as all
immense traffic will be brought along those lines en route to Birming-
ham, the Potteries, and the whole of the manufacturing districts of
Staffordshire. The traffic upon the intended Nottingham and Mans-
field, Sheffield and Newark, Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junc-
tion, and the Sheffield and Manchester lines, must also derive a great
increase from ithisline of railwa The Cambridge :and Lincoln Rail-
waymuat also be greatly benefited.
Power is intended to be reserved in the Act to allow 4 per cent. in-
terest upon deposits and calls, upon completion of the line.

PILBROW'S ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY
and CANAL PROPULSION COMPANY.
Provisionally Registered.
Capital 600,0001., in 60,000 shares of 10/. each.
lustalment 1/. 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 advanfageous 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 Is considered ample to
cover the expenses of purchase, and to lay down a line of sufficient
length to prove the superiority of Pilbrow'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 sy.tem of Atmospheric traction,
are, that the continuous valve is dispensed with; roads are crossed
u, on a level without interruption of main ; one atmospheric railway
can be intersected by anoth?r, 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 ; two:mains 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 destruction 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 with 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'clock,
at the Company's offices, by application to the Secretary or Officers
of the Company.

BATHS of HOMBURG, near FRANKFORT-
ON-THF-MAINE.
The Mineral Waters of Homburg take their rise at the foot of the
Taunus mountains, two hundred yards above the level of the sea.
To the original springs, the reputation of which is so perfectly estab-
lished in Germany, that there have lately been joined fresh sources,
which from the intensity of their mineralisation and the energy of their
action in certain morbid cases, have elevated them to the first rank
among the mineral waters of Germany.
The springs of Homburg are five in number. They have been
analysed by the celebrated Professor Liebig. Notwithstanding the
differences which exist between them, they may be considered as the
same medicament diversely modified. Their mineral principles re-
main the same, with no other difference than their quantities and
proportions. This affords to the physicians the highly valuable ad-
vantage of applying to each individual case the peculiar water best
adapted to it, and cf modifying the treatment according to the course
and progress of the complaint.
The internal use of these waters is of constant efficacy, above all
when drunk at their source, for then the viv:fying air of the moun-
tains, the diversion of mind by the moving scene, and the abstrac-
tion from the cares of the world, concur in assisting the action of the
medicinal beverage.
The waters of Homburg are stimulant, tonic, alterative, and
aperient. They are suited to all cases requiring an amelioration of
the disordered state of the stomach and other intestines, by giving a
peculiar stimulus to these organs when necessary to excite the abdo-
minal circulation, to assist the secretory processes, and to regularise
nutrition and assimilation. Their great success has been recognised
in enlargements of the liver, in affections of the spleen, in hypo-
chondria, jaundice, the hemorrhoids, and obstinate constipation. In
gout and all affections produced by derangement of the digestive
functions, most happy results are derived from them.
_ _ .

During the four veers which have elapsed since these springs first
obtained their merited celebrity, the city of Homburgh has greatly
improved. A new towh has grown up by the side of the old, and
new hotels and private houses afford to visitors all the comforts re-
quired by invalids, and luxuries to be found in the most favourite
watering places.
The forests, which surround Homburg like a rich zone, are piercei
with rides and drives by which the residents at the Baths may, with
ease and pleasure, visit the Feldberg, the Rock of Elizabeth, Luther's
Oaks, and all the picturesque sites of the Taunus.
The Directors of this grand Establishment have constructed a mag-
nificent Casino, which—by the beauty of its architecture, the excel-
lence of its distribution, and the richness of its decorations—surpasses
any building hitherto erected at any point on the banks of the
Rhine. It contains splendid salcrons for balls and concerts ; rooms
for ;the games of Trente et Quarante, and for Roulette tables ; a
Cabinet for reading, In which are most of the German, French,
English, Russian, Belgian, and Dutch journals; a Caffee-room ; a
Divan for smoking, opening on to a fine terrace laid with asphalte, and
a grand dining-room with a table-d'hete, served a la Francalse, twice
a-day, viz. at one and five o'clock.
The excellent orchestra from the Theatre of Mentz performs three
times a day ; in the morning, at the Springs ; in the afternoon, in
the beautiful Gardens of the Casino ; and in the evening in the
grand Ball-room.
Concerts, Balls, and Fetes of every description succeed each other
without interruption.
The Directors shrink from no sacrifice to render this watering-
place as delightful as possible to its visitors, and to this end have
rented about 50,000 acres of forest-lands and plains, all abounding in
game of every description, as well a reserve Park for the Grandees
Chasses at the close of the winter season. The Casino of Homburg,

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE
ALBERT has of late taken great interest in the
breeding of the Llama, from which a very tine wool is obtained. The
cloth made of this is of a peculiarly soft and agreeable texture, and
as some curiosity has been raised by the announcement of the registry
of a coatunder the new Act, by Messrs. NICOLL, of Regent-street,
Tailors to the Court, it may be marked that such was made of this
material. The coat itself is termed the REGISTERED PALETOT,
and in its appearance there is nothing very singular beyond a very
gentlemanly neatness and an absence of all unsightly vulgarity.
Upon being submitted at Court, it met with high approbation."—
Morning Post, April 19. " Amongst the registration of designs,
according to the new Act, that of a coat is to be found. The notions
of securing the particular substance and cut of a coat is certainly a
new one, but it speaks well for the working of an Act which thus
secures the profits of a good judgment and well directed ingenuity to
those to whom alone it is due."—The Times, April 4. Registered

TliE UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE AND

NAVAL AND MILITARY JOURNAL.

Man is confessedly a most belligerent animal, and
as long as he remains so works of the nature of the
one before us—treating of military matters, and re-
cording the achievements of the great ones of the
earth—must possess considerable interest to a large
circle of readers. Nor would we wish it otherwise;
for although we regard war as at best but a necessary
evil, still, until society is sufficiently advanced to
abstain from settling questions of national dispute by
a resort to, brute force, we would by no means seek
to repress the manly and martial spirit such works
tend to foster, and which indeed, animating men to
deeds of self-devotion and heroism, invest the doings
of war from time to time with a sublimity which
partially redeems their horror. Much, therefore, as
we may love peace, and approve of Peace Societies in
the abstract, we cannot say that we feel at all
desirous to see our country lay aside " the pride,
pomp, and circumstance of glorious war," or cast
away her sword at their bidding, especially while
all our neighbours keep their's, ready sharpened, in
their hands, and our brother Jonathan and Cousin
France in particular, flourish their weapons every
now and then in our faces, threatening to take ad-
vantage of any momentary weakness we may ex-
hibit. But the United Service Magazine does not
treat exclusively of professional matters, either
military or naval ; and of the numerous publications
of the day, which address themselves to the sympa-
thies and advocate the interests of a particular class,
we know of none more entitled to public approbation,
or more worthy of general support, whether we
regard the varied and general interest of its contents,
or the excellent manner in which the subjects treated
of are handled. The reader, whose taste takes the
widest range, will find in its pages variety enough to
satisfy him ; and the great charm of all is, that w e do
not have adventures at second-hand ; we do not have
incidents served up from the prolific imagination of a
ready writer, but we have " moving accidents by flood
and field," and " hair-breadth 'scapes th' imminent
deadly breach," told by those who have actually ex-
perienced them and mingled in the scenes they
describe, and told, too, in such a manner as to make it
clear that the gallant actors in them can wield the
pen at least as well as they can wield the sword.
The volume now under our consideration, which is
Part I. for the present year, opens with an article
upon "The Social Wrongs of the Soldier;" and,
although, as might be expects d, in one or two places
it manifests, perhaps, a little too much esprit du corps,
it sets forth, temperately, and with much justice, the
prejudices the soldier has to encounter. Some
of the prejudices, however, of which the writer
complains, arise from a knowledge of the sources
from which the army is recruited. If the
personel of the army could be raised, the soldier
would rise proportionably in public esteem. Com-
plaint is justly made against the aristocratic nature
of the army as an institution, and that Government
evidently desires to make it so, instead of a popular
institution. In this complaint we entirely agree with
the writer. It is, after all, the "cold shade of aris-
tocracy," as General Napier well phrases it, that
presses most heavily upon the soldier and his prospects.
We then have a concise and interesting account of
" The Theatre of War in the Caucasus," in which
the writer takes a rapid survey of the operations of
the Russians in that region, and leaves it no longer
matter of surprise that the heroic mountaineers should
have maintained so long and successful a struggle
with their gigantic enemy. But it is impossible
within our brief limits to enumerate even a tithe of
the contents of the volume before us, although we
cannot refrain from referring, en passant, in terms of
praise to the continuation of our friend Flexible
Grummet's interesting " Reminiscences of a French
Prison," and to a most graphic and spirited " Record
of Indian Warfare," by Mr. Percy B. St. John.
Perhaps the most interesting papers in the Magazine,
however, at least in a professional point of view, are
those upon " The Spirit of Military Institutions," by
Marshal Marmont, Duke of Ragusa. A work upon
the art of war, by one of that brilliant group of
warriors, the Marshals of the Empire, who, by the
practical application of their principles, overran
Europe with conquest, is alone sufficient to excite
attention. These papers, moreover, are written in a
popular and singularly clear and intelligible style,
so much so that the most unprofessional reader may
peruse them with interest, and to the military man
we should say they are invaluable. In a word, this
Magazine is one we can most cordially recommend,
and considering its value as a book of reference, no
library—certainly no military one—can be deemed
complete without it.
