GRAND UNION RAILWAY.
SURVEYS of a LINE of RAILWAY from the TER3II-
NUS of the intended MANCHESTER and BUXTON LINE at AM-
BER GATE are now in progress, passing through the towtis of Not-
tingham, Grantham, Fulkingham, Spalding, and Long Sutton, to
King's Lynn, in Nerfulk, joining the lines from the latter place to
Yarmouth, thereby forming a direct line of communication from the
most eastern parts of the kingdom to the whole of Lancashire, York-
shire, and Staffordshire. A line from Long Sutton to Wisbeach will
also be taken into consideration.
A Provisional Committee is now formed, and a prospectus will be
issued in a few days. _ _ _ _

Further information may be obtained from the Provisional Com-
mittee at the offices of Messrs. W. and 8. Parsons, jun., solicitors,
Nottingham.

PARLIAMENTARY AGENTs.—Messrs. Archibald Graham Moncrieff
and Weems.
The Caledonian Railway has been recommended by the Board of
Trade as the best trunk communication through Scotland, and may
conflden ly be expected to receive the sanction of Parliament in the
present session.
The proposed Extensions are as follows—first, from a point on the
Caledonian Railway, near Lanark, eastward, along the valleyhere of
hasthe
Tweed, by Peebles. Galashals, and Melrose, to Kelso, wit
been arranged with Mr. Hudson that a joint station will be formwest-
ed
with the Newcastle and Berwick Company; and secondly,
ward, by Muirkirk to Mr and Kilmarnock.
A direct communication, northwards and southwards, by means of
the trunk line, will thus be secured to those important di
rd strictsrade,
, the
expediency of which has been pointed out by the Boa of Trade,
for the full development of the Caledonian system.
Numerous and influential meethsi,s have been already held in tho
nd
se
important districts, loudly calling for railway accommodation, a
offering every facility and support.
The Extension to the cast will accommodate the richest agricul-
tural districts in Scotland with timber, slate, coal, lime, and other
minerals, In all which articles they are in themselves wholly desti-
tute ; while the Western Extension of the Caledonian, as well as the
trunk line, intersect tracts of country remarkable for their mineral
resources, but requiring a supply of agricultural produce from the
cast, for the Immense population engaged in manufactures and mines.
When Mr. Telford made a survey of a line from Glasgow to
Kelso and Berwick, in 1810, being the first'projected railway in Scot-
land, he reported that "it might be easily and cheaply made,' and
that "no districts can be better calculated for an interchange of pro-
duce, and for promoting each other's prosperity."
He further rev arks that " The whole distance item Berwick to
the water summit being 77% miles, and the total rise 753 feet (which
is considerably higher than the summit now proposed to be passed
over), the average Inclination is under 10 feet in a mile, or 1 in 528.
" Inclinations so very easy over such extensive districts of country
will enable the intercourse by means of railway to be carried on in
both directions at a comparatively small expense, and it wLI appear
still more perfect when it is considered that the heavy articles of coal
and lime are all to be passed downwards."
The Western Extension will form the shortest and most direct
communication from Edinburgh to Kilmarnock and the seaport towns
of Ayr and Troon, and thence to Ireland.
The Glasgow, Dumfries and Carlisle scheme, which has been re-
ported against by the Board of Trade, proposed partially to open up
the resources of Ayrshire, but afforded no access from thence to
Lanark end Edinburgh, or to Kelso, and Berwick, whilst the Cale-
donian Extension Railway, in fulfilment of the anticipations of the
Board of Trade, will accomplish all these objects, and at the same
time afford an equally good route southwards.

TRAFFIC.

The traffic will embrace-Ist. on the Eastern portion, the carriage
of the whole minerals required for the extensive manufacturing dis-
tricts around Galashiels, Hawick, Melrose, and Selkirk, consisting of
timber, slate, coal, lime, lead, and iron, which must be conveyed to
them on this Railway ; whilst their vast woollen manufactures, con-
sisting of tweeds, blanketting, shawls, plaidings, &c. &c. as well as
raw material, must pass in return; and 2d, the conveyance of
agricultural produce from the highly-cultivated South-eastern districts
of Scotland and Northumberland to the dense population and
mining and manufacturing districts of the West. Upon a calculation,
based upon Mr. Telforl's estimate, it can be shown that, at the
present day, a return cf up-.vards of five per cent. may be reckoned
upon from those sources alone, after deducting forty per cent. for
expenses.
On the Western portion of the line to Ayr and Kilmarnock, a very
large mineral arid goods traffic may be relied on, Independent of the
Eastern Extension.
-From the very highly, Important districts which those lines in-
tersect, a very large passerigrr-traftic may be calculated upon, not
only of a local, but of a general nature.
From these sources the Committee feel themselves justified in cal-
culating on an ample return for the capital required.
The Subscribers' agreement will contain powers to the Provisional
Directors to be thereby appointed to fix the precise extent and course
of the line, and the position of the termini, as circumstances may
render desirable, and powers will be takeu in the Act of
to grant a lease of the works to the Caledonian Railway Company Parliament at
,e rent of four per cent. and one half of the surplus profits.
Application for shares to be made to Messrs. Foster and Braith-
waite, London, Brokers, 64, Broad-street, with whom copies of the
Prospectus and maps of the line will he lodged on and after 16th inst.

OYAL CANDLES---PERFECTED.
These Candles are perfected—no objection now exists. Yes ;
Royal Candles, and their positive superiority is established !
Numerous Imitators have already arisen ; 'and certainly these Imita-

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
common tallow candles, is their true character. " Their equal is un-

on show, that the Public may see their inferiority to Royal Candles.

inestimable virtue for preserving and beautifying the Teeth and
strengthening the Gums.
It eradicates the lac titicus formation of tartar, and thus lends n salu-
tary- growth and freshness in the gums. it removes from the surface
of the teeth the spots of incipkttt decay, polishes and preserves the
enamel, imparting the inthit pure and pearl-like whiteness:
from its sa übrious mid disinfecting qualities, it gives sweetness and
perfume to the breath. Being an anti-scorbutic, the gums also share
in its corrective powers ; scurvy is eradicated from them, a healthy
action and redness aro induced, so that the teeth (if loose) are thus
rendered firm in their sockets. As the most efficient and fragrant
aromatic cleanser and preserver of the teeth and gums ever known,
ROWLAND'S ODONTO has for a long series of years occupied
a distinguished place at the toilets of the Sovereigns and the Nobility
throughout Europe, while the general demand for it at once announces
the favour In which it is held by the public at large.
