C. WATSON, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Folgate, aided by
a person of Science in the amalgamation of Metals, has succeeded in
bringing to Public Notice the most beautiful Article ever yet offered ;
possessing all the richness of Silver in appearance, with all its dura-
bility 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 the Table and

C. WATSON begs the Public will understand that this Metal is
peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from Gold
than kis metal is from all others—on its intrinsic merit alone he
wishes it to be tested, and from the daily increasing enlogiums he re-
ceives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an
article of universal wear.

PATENT PARAGON CAMPIIINE LAMPS.
The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has been
happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger
and a smaller forming a cone round the margin of the wick, which
cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus condensing
every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell,
having perfect combustion, and in full action, emits a light equal to
1G wax candles.
C. Watson's Warehouses, 41- and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton
rolgate, will contain, throughout the season, all the most elegant
echerchd and new patterns, comprising Or-mole, China, Glass, and
Opal.
Old Oil Lamps fitted with the Paragon Head for 21s. And the
Paragon Apparatus applied to the Vesta for 6s. The Spirit analysed
and recommended by Dr. Ure, is delivered in screw cans by C.
Watson's carts, at 4s. per gallon.

A MATRIMONIAL ADVERTISEMENT.
ill Full many a lady has written, you know,
A public advertisement, seeking a !Rau,
And this has led me to be seeking a spark,
In the hope that my verses may hit the right mark.
I'm remarkably fond of a fine sounding name,
And, therefore, at this I especially atm ;
And, of course, you would think it remarkably flimsy,
If a lady declar'd she was not fond of money.
Education and manners I scarcely view less ;
But the principal thing is a gentleman's dress ;
And none need apply, as my suitor—no, none I
Unless he be dress'd by E. MOSES and SON.
I speak not of beauty, which much I admire,
For the plain become handsome in MOSES' attire.
Yes, the plain and the pretty to me are as one,
Provided they're clad by E. MOSES and SON.
And I'd not walk a step witkthe handsomest beau,
If he dress'd in a different manner—no !no !
.And if one should address me, who doesn't know better,
He needn't suppose I shall answer' he letter.
But I cannot imagine that I shall flnd one,
Who does not approve of E. MOSES and SON.
Address to—But stop, I will leave you t guess,
Or to ask Messrs. MO.4ES my name and address.
E. MOSES and SON can inform you, I know,
For they made me a " habit" a short time ago :
A beautiful " habit," whose style you'll admire,
As much as their gentlemen's matchless attire;
A " Habit" through which my attention was won,
And drawn to the fashions of MOSES und SON.
The New Work, entitled " The Monarch Mart," with full direc-
tions for self-measurement, may now be had on application, or for-

The object of this Company is to establish a railway from London to
Exeter direct, through Salisbury and other considerable towns, hither-
to deprived of that great improvement of the age. The most impor-
tant feature, however, of this undertaking will be, that it will establish
an uninterrupted, direct, and s.ieedy communication between the me-
tropolis and our largest maritime ports—Plymouth and Portsmouth,
and thus form an Immediate transit to the axtreme part of the west
of England. To the shipping interest, both at home and abroad, this
facility will be of the utmost importance, and if war should unfortu-
nately arise, the advantages of such a line are evident.
The Committee feel the importance of the duty imposed upon
them, and rely with confidence on the success of the undertaking,
possessing, as it does, the strongest claims for support, whether as a
permanent and judicious investment of capital, or as a great national
undertaking. It is not intended to comment on the various railway
schethes partially affecting the line the Committee propose should be
adopted, further than to observe, that stone of them have been based
upon a sufficiently comprehensive view to afford " a direct organic
communication" with the metropolis: and it is apparent that an en-
tire line, under the management of one Company, is far preferable
to any other communication now available or projected. This line of
railway is offered to the public as affording not only an independent
and direct intercourse between the metropolis, Exeter, and the va-
rious important towns upon it, but will effect a saving of thirty miles
and upwards, in the circuitous and expensive route by Bristol.
The opinion of Sir Robert Peel is particularly applicable to this
project—that the tendency of the improvements which are. almost
daily intrcduced, was decidedly in favour of the shortest and most
direct lines ; and it is deserving of remark, that when the Wilts and
Somerset Railway Bill (which has lately received the royal sanction)
was before Parliament, its projctors were required to pledge them-
selves that they not offer hereafter any impediment to a direct
line to Falmouth, being precisely such an undertaking as the one now
proposed, thereby proving the importance attached by Parliament to
direct communications, and the London and York having obtained
the consent of ihe House of Commons to their Bill, after a prolonged
opposition, shows the weight attached to direct independent railways.
It is proposed that this railway shall take its course between the
Great Western and the South-Western, as far as Kingsclere—though
it will not in any way interfere " with those lines —and-is the course
actually suggested by the Board of Trade in its Fourth Report,
sec. 42, by which an opening was made in this very line, stating that
there is nothing in the present settlement of existing railways to
prevent a shorter or competing line to Exeter being brought forward.
The Direct London and Exeter Company intend to form their ter-
minus In the most central part of London which can be obtained. It
will be iu the immediate vicinity of Sloane-street and Knightsbridge.
It is also intended that this Company shall join the railway projected
to cross the Thames, and thus effect an immediate connexion with a
central terminus at Ilungerford-bridge.
From the London terminus the line will branch off to or near
llammersmith, T urnham-green, Brentford, Isleworth, Hounslow,
Staines, Egham, Bagshot, Ascot, Bracknell, Binfield, Wokingham,
Kingsclere, Andover, and Salisbury ; Shaftesbury, Sherbourne,
Yeovil, Crewkerne, Axminster, or from Salisbury to Cranbourne,
Blandford, Dorchester, Bridport, Axminster, and Honiton, to Exeter.
The line chosen was nearly the one adopted by the Romans ; and
as they, whenever practicable, adopted the straight line, the Com-
mittee intend, as nearly as poslible, following their example. This
road was also the old mail coach line, until the circuitous course of
the Great Western, in the infancy of railway traffic, diverted the
travelling from it.
The line of this railway will pass through Staines, as before ob-
served ; and it is proposed to form a branch to Windsor, it being re-
presented that that mode of immediate communication with the
metropolis will he most congenial to the inhabitants of that town and
its vicinity. The cJommittee are, therefore, desirous of accomplish-
ing that objec:, and .invite the immediate and active co-operation
of the landholders and inhabitants of Windsor to this part of their
scheme especially.
To the sporting world, also. this undertaking offers a desideratum
which has long been felt; it is calculated the number of persons
annually visiting Ascot and Egham Races exceeds 250,000; this line
will pass in the immediate vicinity of these race-courses; and near
Ascot a handscime and commodious station will be erected for the ac-
commodation of the public. The traffic tables which are now in
course of preparation will, when completed, be published ; but from
the official returns, and other sources which have come within the
Committee's cognisance, a very ample interest for the capital neces-
sary for this undertaking is shown, and as the traffic, from the great
accommodation this railway will afford to every description of pro-
perty in the district through which it will pass, will be greatly in-
creased, so also will be the financial returns.
The-rejection of the Bill before Parliament of the Plymouth and
Falmouth line, induces the Committee to propose an immediate ex-
tension of the direct line from Exeter to Falmouth. Prospectuses for
this extension will be published as soon as the plans and surveys are
matured, and in the allotment of shares for this part of the line pre-
ference will be given to the original holders of shares in the Direct
London and Exeter Company, and the landowners on the Falmouth
line.
The entire line has been partially surveyed, and the essential bene-
fit arising from avoiding the elbow of Bristol been ascertained beyond
a doubt. The plans, sections, and books of reference will be ready
within the time prescribed by the Standing Orders of Parliament,
and application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the Company
early in the next session. The usual power will be taken by the
Act to allow interest at 41. per cent. per annum, after passing the Act,
on the amount of the subscriptions paid up, and that no subscriber
shall be answerable for snore than the amount of his deposit until the
Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his sub-
scription.
In case Parliament should not sanction the present undertaking,
which every active means will be taken to secure, the money de-
posited, deducting the necessary expenses attending the projection,
will be returned to the shareholders.
The Committee have been in communication with many influential
landowners on the line, from whom promises of support have been
obtained, and earnestly invite the co-operation and assistance of all
parties holding property upon it, desirous of furthering the object in
view, whose names, it is requested, may be communicated to the
Committee or to the solicitor to the Company forthwith.

This line of railway is intended to connect Leicester and the Mid-
land Counties with the mining districts of South Staffordshire, and to
open a direct communication with the Staffordshire Potteries and
the great towns of Liverpool and Manchester.
It will commence at Leicester, and running through or near to
Market Bosworth, will join the Trent Valley Railway near its inter-
section with the Birmingham and Derby Railway at Tamworth,
affording from thence a direct communication by way of Lichfield,
to Walsall, Wolverhampton Dudley, &c.; and thence by the Grand
Junction and North Staffordshire Railways to Liverpool, Manchester,
and the Potteries.
The most direct through traffic will be conveyed by this Line from
Leicester to the important Railway points of Tamworth and Lich-
field, and consequently the nearest access will be obtained to the
immensely populated Iron and Coal Districts of South Staffordshire,
the Western Counties of England, and the great shipping town of
Liverpool.
The length of the line will be about 24 miles. It has been care-
fully surveyed, and reported to be well adapted to form an excellent
and direct communication between Leicester and Tamworth, at less
than the ordinary expense of construction.
The Capital intended to be raised is 400,0001., divided into 20,000
Shares of 201. each ; a deposit of 21. 2s. per Share will be required to
be paid upon the allotment, to the credit of the Directors, in account
with the Bankers of the Company.
The Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement will be
required to he duly executed, when the Banker's receipts ,Isik et-
changed for Scrip Certificates, of which due notice will be. en ;
and the Deposits paid by parties making default in the execution of
the Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement within the
time limited, will be absolutely forfeited.
A preference will be given in the allotment of the Shares to parties
