This undertaking, comprising a distance of sixty miles in length,
has been entered upon as a further continuation of the lines already
made and contemplated on the southern coast. But previous to
any application to the public for support, the projectors called a
public meeting, which was, in the month of May ►ast, held at
:Southampton, and consisted of the principal nobility, gentry, and
landholders of the county of Dorset and the south-western part of
the county of Hants. At this meeting a Committee of noblemen
and gentlemen of the greatest influence in both counties was no-
minated to inquire into the practicability of the undertaking, and
they appointed Captain W. S. Moorsora, civil engineer, to survey
the country between Southampton and Dorchester, to adopt the
best line, and to make an estimate of its cost ; and, under the powers
given hies, he appointed Mr. Pare to ascertain what traffic was
likely to support the line, if made.
At a subsequent meeting, held at Dorchester on the 19th July
last (which was one of the most numerous and influential meetingt
ever held in the county of Dorset), the Committee appointed at
the former meeting made a report, from which the following is an
extract :
" Your Committee report, that on this day (the 18th July) Cap-
tain Moorsom and Mr. Pare (who had been employed by Captain
Moorsom under the powers given him by us, in the last clause of
our instructions, for the purpose of accurately examining into the
traffic upon the proposed line), attended and presented their re-
ports. These reports have undergone a thorough examination by
us, and your Committee feel justified in laying them before you,
and reporting that they are perfectly accurate, and such as will
warrant your acting upon them.
" Your Committee having duly weighed the statements made to
them by Captain Moorsom and Mr. Pare, consider themselves jus-
tified in reporting to you that there are unusual facilities for con-
structing a railway from Southampton to Dorchester, by way of
Redbridge, Brockenhurst, Burley, Ringwood, Wimborne, Ham.
worthy, and Wareham; most convenient for the public in general,
as well as for the towns in its locality, and that the same can be
made for the sum of 450,0001., including all charges.
" We further report that the traffie upon the line is sufficient to
leave a clear net profit of not less than 6i/. per cent. during the
first five years, which Mr. Pare has no doubt will be increased
subsequently.
" Your Committee therefore confidently recommended the
immediate formation of a Company for carrying out an object so
eminently desirable for the county of Dorset and southwestern
part of the county of Hants.
" The friendly assistance and expressions of good-will which
Captain Moorsom's surveyors have received in the course of taking
up the line, give evidence that a general support may be relied on,
as soon as the main features of the undertaking come to be fully
understood.
" It is Captain Moorsom's opinion that the line may be opened
in twelve months from the time when the possession of the land
shall have been obtained."
It was then unanimously resolved by the meeting that this Com.
pany should be formed with a capital of 450,0001., in shares of
501. each,
Since the above report of the Committee was made a fresh esti-
mate of the traffic has been rendered necessary by the additional
trade which will flow to it out of the lines projected by the Great
Western Railway, from Corsham and Taunton to Yeovil, and
thence to Dorchester and Weymouth, with a branch to Bridport.
These calculations have justified the Provisional Committee in
order to provide bridges and land for a double line, in increasing
the capital to 501,0001., upon which Mr. Pare estimates a net
return of not less than seven per cent.
The advantages of coast lines for Government purposes and for
the defence of the country, are too obvious to require comment,
and the evident inclination of Parliament shown in the past session,
to promote a continuous line of railway along the coast, coupled
with the great local support already shown, and the careful exa.
mination into the estimate of expense and traffic prior to the forma-
tion of a Company, give to this line the greatest claim to the sup-
port of the public, as tending to insure both its stability and success.
An arrangement, subject to the sanction of the Board of Trade,
has been made for leasing this line to the Great Western Compaq,
that Company guaranteeing Si per cent. upon the capital, and
agreeing to divide the net profits equally with the Shareholders in
this Company.
Arrangements are also in a state of great forwardness with emi-
nent contractors for the performance of the entire works, at such a
sum as to render certain the completion of the undertaking within
the amount and time specified.
It is intended to apply to Parliament for an Act in the next ses-
sion, and the usual clause limiting the liability of Shareholders to
the amount of their subscription will be inserted.
Applications for shares may be made in the subjoined form to
Messrs. W. 0. and W. Hunt, solicitors, 10, Whitehall; to Messrs.
Laurence, Caacaove, and Co., Auction Mart, London ; to Messrs.
Edward and Charles Castleman, solicitors, Ringwood ; and to

tuses may be had of any of the above gentlemen, and also of Messrs.

Since the Prospectus of this Railway was issued to the Public,
the South-Eastern Company have laid out a Line of Railway from.
Ashford, by Canterbury to Ramsgate and Margate, under the
powers of their Act of the last Session. This circumstance has
induced the Committee to reconsider that part of the Plan,
by which it was proposed to carry out the Railway from Faver-
sham to Ramsgate and Margate by a Coast Line, with a view to
the substitution of another Line, which should fall into the Ash.
ford branch at or near Canterbury ; by such a junction, a direct
Railway communication will equally be extended to Ramsgate and
Margate, while an important accommodation will also be afforded
to Canterbury and its neighbourhood, and the Line itself will be
made capable of extension to several other important points on the
Coast, which at present have not the benefit of Railway intercourse.
The Committee have determined upon this modification after a
mature consideration of its advantages, and they have the satisfac.

tion of knowing that it is in accordance with the wishes of the Inha-
hitants of the district, through which it is proposed the Line shall
pass ; a direct Railway communication will thus be effected be-
tween Canterbury, Chatham, and Woolwich, and between all those

important Depots and the Metropolis; and the important traffic of
Canterbury will be added to the estimated returns of the Company.
The Line, as proposed to be modified, will commence, as origi-
nally laid down, at London.bridge, and will proceed round Green.
wich.park, by Blackheath, Charlton, Woolwich, Plumstead, Wick.
ham, Bexley Heath, Crayford, Dartford, Stone, and Northfleet, to
Gravesend, and thence to Stroed, Rochester, Chatham, and Bromp-
ton, crossing the Medway by a permanent bridge, and thence by
Rainham, Milton, Sittingbourne and Faversham, to Chilham and
Canterbury, falling into the Ashford branch at or near the latter
City.

The Committee will at the same time apply for powers to com-
plete the Line to Ramsgate and Margate, in case the South-Eastern
Company shall not effectually carry out their Line.
The undertaking will remain subject to any modifications which
may be considered advisable by the Committee, or be required by
the Government.

In the original Prospectus, the estimates of cost and traffic were
given in detail, showing a return equal to at least eight per cent.
upon a capital of 1,500,0001.
By the proposed modification of the Line, the capital will be re-
duced t• 1,250,0001., and by this reduction, and the accession of
additional traffic, in consequence of the extension to Canterbury,
the Committee feel assured that the profits will be considerably in-
creased to the Shareholders.

As a proof of the very moderate statements of traffic, upon which
the revenue was calculated in the original Prospectus, it may be
stated that according to official returns recently promulgated, the
number of persons who arrived at, and embarked from, Gravesend,
between the Ist of June and the 30th of September, in the present
year, a period of four months only, amounted to 1,491,923, ex-
ceeding by nearly 200,000 persons, the number assumed in the
Prospectus to pass to and from Gravesend in the entire year.
The Committee have been induced to defer the allotment of
Shares pending the consideration of this contemplated change in
tho lower part of their Line, and the new survey rendered necessary
thereby ; but they now intend to proceed to the allotment imme-
diately after the 29th inst., and no application for Shares will be
received after that day.

Manufacturers of the COMPOSITE CANDLES, respectfully
call the attention of the Public to the fact, that, although the price of
these is somewhat higher than that of ordinary mould Candles, they
are in reality much cheaper than these latter; one real Composite
Candle giving about the same quantity of light as three of the moulds.
They require no snuffing, and burn more brilliantly thee the best
wax. The purposes of economy and luxury are therefore both served
at the same time by the use of those Candles. Parties intending to
try them for the first time, are earnestly requested to take care that
they are served in the shops with " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES:"
the reason for this cautioa is given elsewhere.
They are sold by most of the respectable tallow chandlers through-
out the kingdom, and wholesale to the trade by Edward Price and
Co., Belmont, Vauxhall; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street,

GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—Under the
Patronage of his late Majesty, her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent, and the Lords of the Treasury, is universally re.
commended by the Faculty for its efficacy in removing disorders
ncident to the Eyes and Head.
SIGHT RESTORED!—NERVOUS HEADACHE AND
DEAFNESS CURED!
By the most simple, delightful, and fragrant Compound!
Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure; many thousand
cures have been accomplished by its use, at a trifling expense, yet
certain in its operation. If testimonies be necessary to induce the
sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords, and Commons have used it.
The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned its use. Their late Ma.
lesties, the Duchess of Kent, the most eminent Oculists, Medical
Practitioners—with that gigantic balance, the Press—have eulogised
Grimstone's celebrated Herbaceous Compound, known as " Grim-
tone's Eye Snuff" for its efficacy in removing all diseases incident

a national blessing—see his Reports touching its utility. The late
Mr. Abernethy, with many others, recommend Grimstone's Eye
Snuff, and call it Mans best
" an's best Friend," and the "Student's Vade
Mecum."
Dr. Andrews also recommends its use as a preventive. See his
reports in Nov. 1831. He states that the tenacious sympathy of the
membrane, within the nostrils, with the nervous system, that Grim.
stome's Eye Snuff, when frequently takes, must be of the greatest
benefit to the consumer; and, further, recommends its universal
adoption as a preventative.
Dr. Thomas, of Hatfield, having witnessed many cases both of
headache and ophthalmia, has kindly given his testimony thereof.

" To W. Grimstone, Esq. " April 20th, 1e44.
" Dear Sir,—l feel bound by a sense of justice to inform you of
the miraculous cure effected on myself by taking a few pinches of
the far celebrated Gemstone's Eye Snuff; which, in my case, ought
rather to be called ' Ear Snuff,' it having effectually relieved me from
a deafness from which I have been suffering for many years. You are
at liberty to make any use you please of this communication, since I
should much regret if the extraordinary qualities of your Eye Snuff
were net universally known.
