The traffic which exists between Dublin and the south and south-
western districts of Ireland, fully justifies the construction of a main
trunk line of railway from. Dublin to Cashel, with a branch to Athy
and Carlow. From this main trunk the country is most favourable
for branches to Clonmel, Limerick, and Galway, and of being exten-
ded to Cork, as pointed out in the Report of Mr. Macneill.
The country to be traversed is singularly favourable for the con-
struction of a railway, and,, with a slight variation, is the line recom-
mended by the Government Commissioners in their Report, present-
ing no difficulties or obstacles of any kind, and requiting but little
cutting or embanking, which enables the Engineer to pledge himself
that the cost will not exceed 1,300,000/. for the entire work, including
stations, carrying establishment, ftc.. complete, being at the rate of
11,0001. -per mile.
From Mr. Matneill's great - professional experience, and from the
successful and economical manner in which he has just brought the
Dublin and Drogheda Railway works to a completion within his es-
timate, the Committee has every confidence that the calculations flu-
nished by him for the present work will be found sufficient. It is
fortunate that the nature of the country through which the line is to
be made is such, that, in the event of the atmospheric principle of
transit being found from experience to be preferable to that of loco-
motive engines, it may be applied to this Railway without any in-
convenience or disadvantage, as no deeper cuttings or embankments
would be required for the locomotive, than would be prudent or desir-
able for the atmospheric principle.
The traffic is probably not exceeded on any line of equal extent in
the United Kingdom at present unoccupied by a railway, and holds
out very great inducements for the investment of capital. The re-
turns on which the calculation of traffic is founded, are taken from
those published by the Railway Commissioners, and which, by a
subsequent inquiry, are found to be considerably underrated.

of dividend to the subscribers.

BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES
Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London.
JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en-
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The gene-
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cantions:—Some are in appearance at first sight,. '• the genuine," but
without name or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such did-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.
BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom-
mended as a most useful and convenient sauce ; will keep good in all
climates.

has succeeded in bringing to public notice the most beautiful article
ever yet offered ; possessing all the richnesi of Silver in appearance
—with all its durability and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in
use—undergoing,.as it does, a chemical process, by which all that is
nauseous in mixed metals is entirely extracted—resisting all acids—
may be cleaned as silver, and is manufactured into every article for

" irvEATII of HOWQUA.—This great Hong
Merchant died at Canton, on the 4th of September, aged 75.
Howqua was once a poor lad of humble origin, and obtained his living
by vending oranges in the streets of Canton. By his industry, skill,
and attainments, he amassed immense wealth, became senior Hong
merchant, was made a Mandarin, and died the richest man in
China. Whilst these and other circumstances,' says a Canton
paper,,' secure Howqua a page in the future history of China, his
name, in connection with Captain Pidding—the one as the com-
pounder, the other as the importer of a famous mixture of Teas, well
known, as .0 CAPTAIN PIDDING'S HOWQUA MIXTURE' "--
will be remembered in Europe whilst an individual remains capable
of appreciating this delicious beverage. Howqua was by nature'
gifted' with a noble mind, add early showed himself imbUe4
with a strong sense of justice and commercial liberality. Davis,
the Honourable Company's supercargo, after speaking of, his libe-
rality and wealth, in his evidence before a Committee of the House
of Commons, states that, If any Tea bought of llowqua turned
out in England inferior to sample, he compinsated the buyer
by giving him two chests for every one inferior.' Practising such
uprightness himself, he despised a commercial fraud in another. It
was therefore with feelings of just indignation, that he in his latter
days saw his name abused and that in England, a country where
men boasted of their commercial honour and integrity, all kinds of
spurious teas, no matter how, where, or of whom procured, were
fraudulently sold under his name—by parties, too, as he would say,
who, though as profoundly ignorant of China as of him, having never
crossed the great ocean, nor breathed the pure air of the Celestial
Empire, or felt its transforming influence, knowing only in the
practice of deceit, amt big to bursting with ready liei, yet audaciously
professed to have had dealings with him. Howqua never could un-
derstand how, in a country where, if a man forged another's name
on a scrap of paper for only fifty dollars, he was condemned to be
hung, it was yet permitted him to affix another's eminent name on
goods to any extent and of any quality, however fictitious, to get a sale
for them, and yet go unpunished. Peace be to your manes, Howqua ;
you were a good and a great man ! It is well for the fair consumers
at home—and fairest of the fair, Victoria—that the secret of com-
pounding the mixture did not die with him. Howqua, himself highly
talented and enterprising, admired these qualities in others, and
forming an early friendship for ,Captain Pidding, then a young but
aspiring officer of a Company's ship, who had succeeded in render-
ing,him some essential personal service, imparted to him the secret
of compounding his mixture, the celebrity of which, under • the title
of ' Captain Pidding's Howqua's Mixture,' has since made both
names so famous."—Canton Press.
NOTE.—This Tea, when first introduced into England by Captain
Pidding, was entitled "Howqua's Mixture ;" but the great celebrity
it acquired having tempted many unprincipled parties to give simi-
lar, or nearly similar titles to their own spurious mixtures, to guard
against such imposition., purchasers should be careful to "Ask for
Captain Pidding's Howqua Mixture," and to observe that.
