ever presented to the world. The wonders at this gigantic Establish-
ment consist of the Glyptotheca, or Museum of Sculpture, filled with
works of some of the finest artists ; Mont Blanc, Mer de Glace
(painted by Mr. Benson), and real Mountain Torrent, superb Con-
servatories, and gorgeous Gothic Aviary, External Promenades,

Notice is hereby Given, That this COMPANY has been formed for
the construction of a RAILWAY TRANSIT from LONDON to
EXETER direct (avoiding the circuitous course by Bristol), and to
pass through Hounslow, Staines, Eghain, Ascot, Bagshot, Kingsclere,
Andover, Salisbury, Shaftesbury, Sherborne, Yeovil, Crewkerne, and
Axminster (or taking the lower line from Salisbury, to Cranbourne,
Blandford, Dorchester, Bridport, and _Axminster, which it is con-
sidered may be preferable from its approach to the coast).
It is unnecessary to comment on the advantages of this direct
communication to Exeter, involving as it does so great a saving in
distance ; or its superiority over any branch or auxiliary projections,
affecting the counties of Hants, Berks, Wilts, and Dorset, with their
adjacencies. Besides the brevity of the entire line, the counties and
places above named will all respectively derive the benefit of this un-
dertaking, which is commenced with a determination to render it
equally worthy of support as an investment of capital, as deserving
the name of a great national work of an enlarged and comprehensive
character.

In a few days the names of the Noblemen and Gentlemen engaged in
furtherance of the undertaking, with those of the Provisional Com-
mittee and Officers, will be published ; meanwhile all persons in-
terested in the projected Line of Railway are requested to abstain
from pledging their support in any way till the merits of the Com-
pany be further promulgated ; and any Noblemen or Gentlemen dis-
posed to forward its success are requested to communicate their
names to the Committee immediately. In due time arrangements
will be made for Shares ; and, in the interim, any applications relative
to the undertaking are requested to be addressed to
D. E. COLOMBINE, Esq., 8, Carlton-chambers, Regent-street.

A principal feature in this undertaking is the erection at the Old,
or Aust, Passage, of a fixed bridge across the estuary of the Severn,
adapted as well for railway traffic as for ordinary carriage and pe-
destrian intercourse. By the construction of this bridge, and the in-
tended line of railway in connexion with it, two great objects
will be attained ; first, there will be established, by means of
a junction at Hereford with the proposed lines north of that city, a
direct, unbroken line of railway communication between Bristol and
Liverpool, with a saving in distance of about forty-two miles over
the present route ; and, secondly, there will be opened a free com-
munication between the southern and western portions of England,
on the one hand, and Monmouthshire and South Wales as tho other.
These important districts have hitherto been practically severed,
and only rendered accessible to each other by a most inconvenient
ferry, dependent on tides and weather. The want of a fixed bridge
over the Severn, at the point above-mentioned, has long been
severely felt, and it would be impossible, whether in reference to na-
tional or local interests, to over estimate the importance of a-scheme
designed to supply this want. It has not, however, been front a
consideration of its impracticability that such a work has not loig
since been accomplished. In the year 1825 Mr. Telford, the late ce-
lebrated engineer, was consulted upon the subject, and gave a most
decided opinion in favour of It, particularly adverting (amongst other
causes affording facility) to the great height of the banks at the Old
Passage, to the fact of the bed of the river consisting wholly of solid
rock, and to the circumstance that suitable materials for the work
could be procured within a reasonable distance.
The engineers of the present proposed work, as well as other en-
gineers of eminence, are equally confident of the thorough practica-
bility of the undertaking. . . .

F. FERGUSON CAAIROUX, gas.

Until recent times, and before the period had arrived when railway
traffic and profits had reached their present astonishing extent, the
expense of this bridge compared with the probable traffic) rEturns,
naturally retarded its projection; but now, when works equally
difficult and expensive, such as tunnels and viaducts, are readily con-
structed by railway companies for the mere traffic of their line, and
sometimes only to avoid a comparatively trifling deviation, it will be
at once admitted, that with a view merely to the formation of a
direct line between Bristol and Liverpool (without looking to col-
lateral or ultra-terminal advantages), the magnitude of the under-
taking is no longer to be regarded as an impediment to its com-
pletion.
The recent decision of the Admiralty against the proposed bridge
at the Hock Crib, leaves the Aust Passage the only practicable point
for a fixed bridge.
Arrangements have been concluded with his Grace the Duke of
Beaufort, and the other proprietors of the Aust Ferry, whereby the
purchase of that important interest has been secured to this Com-
pany.
The line, which will be about forty-eight miles in length, will
commence at Bristol, and proceed to the Aust Passage, there arose-

SAUCE is pronounced by connoisseurs to be " the only
good sauce" for enriching gravies, or as a zest for fish, curries, soups,
game, steaks, cold meat, &c. ; and its rapidly increasing sale has
induced the Proprietors to open a warehouse in London. The very
general and decided approbation bestowed on this sauce having
encouraged imitations, the Proprietors have adopted Betts's metallic
capsules, on which are embossed the words "Lea and Perrins'
Worcestershire Sauce," as a means of protection. Sold, wholesale,
retail, and for exportation, by the proprietors, Vere street, Oxford-

ing the proposed bridge to Beachley, it will run northward
along the valleys of the Wye and Monnow by Chepstow, and Mon-
mouth to Hereford, which city will form the northern terminus of the
line. At Hereford the direct chain of communication to Liverpool
will be completed by the lines now projected' between those places.
It is obvious that this route will furnish to the west and south-west
of England the best and most direct means of communication not
only with Liverpool and the north of England, but with Dublin and
the north of Ireland.
To Bristol itself the value of the project cannot be over-estimated.
It will secure to that ancient city the continuance of its long-enjoyed
position, as the emporium of commerce in the west.
It is proposed to connect the line with the forest of Dean, by which
means the vast mineral resources of that district will be developed to
an extent hitherto unattained.
Many other advantages will at once suggest themselves to those
acquainted with the locality of the proposed railway ; amongst others
it may be mentioned, that the route will embrace Tintern Abbey,
and the other celebrated scenery of the Wye, Which, notwithstanding
the difficulty and expense of reaching them by the old means of tran-
sit, annually attract a great number of visitors. The engineering
capabilities of the line have been ascertained to be excellent. In-
vestigations on the subject of the traffic have been made, which fully
justify the conclusion that the undertaking will prove a very pro-
fitable investment of capital.
The promoters have not been unmindful of the projected line of the
Bristol and South Wales Junction Company, irom Bristol to the
passage ; and if satisfactory terms of arrangement can be made,
whereby the formation-ef that portion of the line can, consistently
with the interests of this undertaking, be left to that Company, a
corresponding diminution of the capital will take place. .

JJEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully
stood the test. six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use,
they have been adopted by the offizial authorities of the Houses of
Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office,
Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other
Club-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many
other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cub!. feet of
gas have passed through some of these meters without regale-
Lion 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 en the brass badge in front of all his
meters.

PLEASURE TRIPS.—The reason why people
do not generally get increased health from these delightful
excursions, so wisely provided for all classes is, that the stomach is
not properly prepared to receive the full benefit of the pure oxygen
given out from every leaf, flower, and blade of grass, which when
the habit is free, gives increased mental and physical power, causing
the greatest happiness man can know, in a glow of pleasurable sen-
sations, arising from renewed vigour and health.

LORD ELDON'S PILLS.—" Habitual costive-
ness," said the late Mr. Abernethy, " I have no hesitation in
stating, is the foundation of all diseases." These Pills are from the
prescription of a celebrated Court Physician, and were used by the
late Lord Eldon, and are put forth as calculated to remove two com-
plaints, to both ofwhich Gentlemen of the Learned Professions are
more or less subject (viz., costiveness and indigestion), and are
the highest Officers in the State. Sold in boxes at Is. 1%d.,

This Company 15 established for the manufacture and sale of the
Concentrated Essences of Tea and Coffee under Staite's Patent, by
licence from the Patentee.

The advantages peculiar to the process for which this patent has
been granted, are very numerous ; but among the most prominent is
this, that while the properties of the material are completely ex-
tracted, its available quantity is augmented, and its virtues improved.
The distinctive qualities of the Essence obtained are, the retention
of the identical flavour and fragrauce of the particular Tea or Coffee
used, and a degree of strength secured before unknown.
The method employed in preparing and putting up these Essences,
secures them against injury from the lapse of time and change of
climate, affords the greatest possible facility for portability and im-
mediate nse, and se reduces the price to the consumer, that economy
itself thrnishes an ample guarantee for their extensive use.
One teaspoonful of the Essence, in a cup of boiling water, will be
sufficient for the instantaneous production of a cup of tea or coffee of
the finest quality.
The following certificate from Dr. Uro is, with satisfaction, sub-
joined :
" I hereby certify, that Staite's Patent Essence of Teals a pure and
wholesome beverage; and that is is extracted by a peculiar process,
which, while it excludes in a great measure, the bitter and astringent
matter always present in the teapot, preserves and refines all the
exhilarating and aromatic principles of the Chinese herb. Being put
up in Mr. Rand's Collapsible Tubes of pure tin, it will keep un.
changed for any length of time.
(Signed)

"ANDREW ITRE,

Chemist to tho Board. of Customs, &c., &c."

The Committee have also thought it right to have the samples of
the Essences submitted to high and unbiassed authorities in the Tea
Trade. The following testimonial from a well-known and eminent
judge is the result :
" W. J. Bland having tested the samples of the concentrated Es-
sence of Tea, manufactured under Staite's Patent, pronounces them
clean, full and perfect.

THE LAZE AWFUL CONFLAGRATION
OF RAGGETT'S HOTEL, PICCADILLY.
In consequence of the serious and fatal accidents caused by the
burning of the above Hotel, and the danger to which such establish-
ments are constantly exposed, from the same cause, DAVID
3IAURIGY" thinks it proper to make more fully known, for the satis-
faction and comfort of his numerous friends and patrons, the
arrangements of the PALATINE HOTEL, VICTORIA STATION,
MANCHESTER, for the prevention of such fearful occurrences.
The landings of the house are fire-proof, and the staircases, which
are of solid iron, are so constructed that no portion of them could
the fall till the whole building fall to the ground, thus keeping open the
means of egress, the falling of which has been the cause of so large
a portion of the late dreadful catastrophes from fire ; they can also
be flooded with continuous streams of water from each landing,
which can be turned on by the night attendant (who is always up
and on the watch) at a moment's notice. Every room in the house
can be supplied with water sufficient to extinguish the largest fire in
a few moments. By these means the remotest probability of any
accident by Lire is removed, and the most timid person may make
use of this hotel without the least fear.
David Maurigy takes this opportunity of returning his grateful
thanks for the liberal support he has received since he has opened
the Palatine Hotel and Refreshment Rooms, Victoria Statior, and
begs to assure the public and commercial gentlemen that no
exertions shall be wanting, on his part, to merit their continued kind
patronage, and at the most moderate charges, including all gratuities
to servants.

DR. CULVERWELL'S GUIDE TO HEALTH AND LONG

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
LAMBETH.
Sanucirow.—Miss Mary Ann Salisbury, the daughter of
a Dissenting minister at Bath, was charged with attempting to
'commit suicide on the preceding night.
Frederick Godfrey, a servant in the employment of the
London and Westminster Steam-boat Company deposed, that
.on the preceding night he observed the prisoner on the steps
leading to the Company's pier, on the Surrey side of West-
minster-bridge, and knowing that the boats had ceased to run
for the night, he asked her what or who she was waiting for?
She replied nobody. There was something about her manner
which induced him to watch her closely, and perceiving that
she was approaching the water's edge he:followed her, and again
asked her what she wanted? At this time she appeared to be
praying, and did not reply to him for some moments, when she
drew a letter from her bosom, and requested he would put it
into the post-office. She then said that her lover had jumped
off London-bridge on Sunday or Monday night, and he hoped
she would do the same. She then made towards the edge of
the water, and was in the act of throwing herself in, when
he (witness) caught hold of her clothes and held her until
assistance came, and she was handed over to the care and
charge of a policeman. The witness added, that after saving
her, the prisoner told him he was very unkind for interfering
with her, and asked him several times to let her do what she
wanted, but she appeared in a state of distraction at the time.
The witness, in answer to a question from the magistrate,
further said that on the same ( Wednesday) night a young man
had thrown himself off the London-bridge, and was picked up
alive, as he heard, by one of the Watermen steamers.
Police-constable Bovill, 140 D, deposed that on her way to
the station-house the prisoner told him she was the daughter
of a clergyman, at Bath, and had come away from there a fort-
night ago
alsoa said go wiitdh ashyeoulnodgggedentaletmz

collected was King Edward-street.

Sergeant Arnold, L 8, said that after the charge bad been

whom she had come from home had taken from her her valu-
able gold watch and rings, and had got from her all the money
she possessed.
The prisoner, who is not 21 years of age, and who was
evidently deeply affected, made the following statement : —Her
father, she said, kept a boot and shoe warehouse at Bath, and
carried on a very extensive business, and was also minister of a
Dissenting congregation there. For some years past, Mr. A.
Bertram, with whom she had been brought up from
childhood, had paid his addresses to her, but for some reason
or other her father had set his face against their marriage.
A short time since Bartram was on a visit to his father,
who resided in the Royal York-crescent, and assured her he
had got a license for their marriage in London, and promised
that if she accompanied him there the ceremony should be
at once performed. Believing his representations, and
confiding in his honour, she consented to leave her father's
house unknown to him or any part of her family. The time
chosen fur her leaving home was on the night of last Tuesday
fortnight, and while her father, her mother, and the family
were engaged in a prayer meeting at their own house, she
managed to hand a small trunk containing a part of her wearing
apparel to Bartram, and immediately after left herself an ac-
companied him, Bartram, by the railroad to Londor. They
arrived in town at an early hour on the following (Wednesday)
morning, when Bartram took her to a house opposite to Drury-
lane, which he said was his aunt's, and where he wished her to
stop, but observing so much of what she conceived to be gross
misconduct going on there, she refused to remain beyond that
morning, and the following night she slept at the Bull and
Mouth Inn.
Mr. NORTON—Do you know the name of the person who
keeps the house near Drury-lane, to which you had been taken,
and who Bertram represented as his aunt ? Prisoner—l do
not, Sir, there is no name over the door, but merely the
initials H. S., the H being large and the S
The prisoner proceeded to say that, after sleeping at the
Bull arid Mouth one night, she took a lodging in King Ed-
ward-street, and continued to occupy it up to the present
time. She was visited there by Bartram, who promised her
day after day to produce the license for their marriage,
but who put it off from some excuse or other. On Friday '
night last she reluctantly accompanied him to the house of
his aunt, as he balled her, where he kept her to a late hour,
when he told her that her father had offered 201. for her ap-
prehension, said the officers were searching for her in all
directions, and that the only security she had for her personal
safety was to sleep there that night. Under the peculir cir-
cumstances she consented to stop, and a bed was ordered for
herself alone. Previous to going to bed Bartram prevailed
upon her to take a tumbler full of what he called " Temperance
cordial," and after taking it she felt her head quite giddy, and
it subsequently produced a stupifying effect. While in bed
she beard Bartram in the room, and seeing him about to take off
his boots she threatened to scream aloud if ho did not at once
retire from the apartment. He did so then, but subsequently
returned and got to bed with her without her being
then aware of his presence. In the morning she was so ill
that Bartram had to send twice for a surgeon to see her. On
the same morning Bartram handed her what he called a saline
draught, and desired her to take it. She drank a small por-
tion of it, and found it so nauseous that she refused to take any
mere, and what she had taken had made her so ill that she

had evidently been recently emptied of its contents, and upon
which was written the word "Poison." She spoke to and asked
him how the paper came there, and what it had contained? And
he replied, nothing, and endeavoured to get the paper out of
her hand, but in the struggle for it it got torn. As soon as she
was able to be moved, he took her home in a cab to her lodg-
ings, and from that time to the present she had not seen him.
On Monday evening last, however, she received a note from him.
the purport of which was, that by the time she received it he
would be no more, as he had jumped off the bridge, and he
hoped she would follow his example. This, of course, made
her wretched and miserable in her mind, hut she had no recol-
lection of going near the water, as had been stated.
In reply to the questions of Mr. Norton, she said that the
father of Bartram was a gentleman of good' fortune, but his

and no such watch had been lat. Bartram also took away two
rings, one of them of considerable value, and the last sovereign
she had, and left hor without anything except the few articles
of clothing she had brought with her.
Mr. NORTON remarked that much allowance should be made
for the prisoner under the unfortunate circumstances in which
she was placed, and if her statement was true, and he had no
reason to doubt it, there could be but one opinion of the infa-
mous conduct of her seducer, who, nut content with destroying

" The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in-
herent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented
through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such, among
others, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many questions
may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even to the
most confidential friend."—Stafford Gazette.
"Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto
neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the
medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are
concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere
routine practitioner would never dream of finding them; traceable
to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal
springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."--Wakefield
Journal.
