JOINT SOLICITORS.

The object of this undertaking is to afford to the important and
rising Port of Southampton a direct and uninterrupted Railway com-
munication with Salisbury, Bath, Bristol, and the Iron and Coal
Districts of Gloucestershire and South Wales.
This is proposed to he effected by a Line of Railway from Southamp-
ton to Salisbury, constructed on the broad gauge, and forming a
junction there with the Line projected by the Great Western Com-
pany, by which means this much required chain of communication
through Wiltshire and Somersetshire will be complete.
This measure *receives the influential local support of the leading
Gentlemen of the towns of Southampton, Salisbury, and the country
through which the proposed Line passes, and who are impressed with
its great advantages, and the conviction of its necessity.
By this measure, the English and Bristol Channels will be brought
into close connexion, affording great resources both to Southampton
and Bristol, at the same time establishing a means of mutual and
valuable interchange of commerce to the towns and districts Um-
versed.
The existing traffic through these districts is known to be consi-
derable, and is vouched for by the fact that on the original projection
of the Wilts and Somerset Railway, from or near Bath to Salisbury,
the Great Western Company entered into an engagement to lease
that Line, at the rate of Four per Cent., with the advantages of a
moiety of the surplus profits. The completion of this Line, there-
fore, by a direct connexion with a principal port must, it is confi-
dently assumed, secure to an extension Line the benefit of increased
traffic, and to the Shareholders an ample return.
Independent of the well-established traffic which the proposed Line
ensures, it will open new markets and de relope fresh resources to
Southampton by reason of the advantages of direct communication.
This would be accomplished particularly in the articles of coal and
iron. The coal being brought direct from the coal-fields could pro-
vide Southampton and the neighbourhood, and also the steam-vessels
frequenting the port with a constant and regular supply at a low
rate ; while the supply of seabome coal required for the manufac-
turers could be transported inland at greatly reduced charges. In
iron also a new trade is springing up, and this line will at once supply
the steady and increasing demand for that article, which is at pre-
sent subject to the expense, delay, and uncertainty of carriage by
coasting vessels.
It is proposed that this line, which passes through land of little
value, shall join the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway at
Fisherton Anger, and proceed by or near to Downton, Plaitford,
Redbridge, Millbrook, to the Royal Pier at Southampton, convenient
to which it is proposed to erect a spacious terminus and terrace on
the present waste shore, the cost of which is included:in the estimate.
It is intended to snake such arrangements with the Pier Company
as will admit of the numerous steam and other vessels frequenting
the pier, and trading with the Channel Islands and along the coast,
to land their passengers and goods on to the line at once.
The completion of this line will enable a system of the Electric Te-
legraph to be established between the two Channels.
A careful examination of the country has been made, and it pre-
sents no engineering difficulties, and the surveys are in course of
com pleti on.
Detailed prospectuses will be issued in a few days ; in the mean-
time forms of application for shares may be had of Williams, Chevin,
and Co., 30, Bucklersbnry.

BATHS of HOMBURG, near FRANKFORT-
ON-THE-MAINE.
The Mineral Waters of Homburg take their rise at the foot of the
Taunus mountains, two hundred yards above the level of the sea.
To the original springs, the reputation of which is so perfect], estab-
lished in Germany, that there have lately been joined fresh sources,
which from the intensity of their mineralisation and the energy of their
action in certain morbid cases, have elevated them to the first rank
among the mineral waters of Germany.
The springs of Homburg are five in number. They have been
analysed by the celebrated Professor Liebig. Notwithstanding the
differences which exist between them, they may be considered as the
same medicament diversely modified. Their mineral principles re-
main the same, with no other difference than their quantities and
proportions. This affords to the physicians the highly valuable ad-
vantage of applying to each individual case the peculiar water best
adapted to it, and of modifying the treatment according to the course
and progress of the complaint.
The internal use of these waters is of constant efficacy, above all
when drunk at their source, for then the yid:lying air of the moun-
tains, the diversion of mind by the moving scene, and the abstrac-
tion from the cares of the world, concur in assisting the action of the
medicinal beverage.
The waters of Homburg are stimulant, tonic, alterative, and
aperient. They are suited to all cases requiring an amelioration of
the disordered state of the stomach and other intestines, by giving a
peculiar stimulus to these organs when necessary to excite the abdo-
minal circulation, to assist the secretory processes, and to regularise
nutrition and assimilation. Their great success has been recognised
in enlargements of the liver, in affections of the spleen, in hypo-
chondria, jaundice, the hemorrhoids, and obstinate constipation. In
gout and all affections produced by derangement of the digestive
functions, most happy results are derived from them.

During the four years which have elapsed since these springs first
obtained their merited celebrity, the city of Homburgh has greatly
improved. A new towh has grown up by the side of the old, and
new hotels and private houses afford to visitors all the comforts re-
quired by invalids, and luxuries to be found in the most favourite
watering places._ . . . . .

The forests, which surround Homburg like a rich zone, are piercel
with rides and drives by which the residents at the Baths may, with
ease and pleasure, visit the Feldberg, the Rock of Elizabeth, Luther's
Oaks, and all the picturesque sites of the Taunus.
The Directors of this grand Establishment have constructed a mag-
nificent Casino, which—by the beauty of its architecture, the excel-
lence of its distribution, and the richness of its decorations—surpasses
any building hitherto erected at any point on the banks of the
Rhine. It contains splendid saloons for balls and concerts ; reams
for the games of Trente et Quarante, and for Roulette tables ; a
Cabinet for reading, in which are most of the German, French,
English, Russian, Belgian, and Dutch journals; a Coffee-room; a
Divan for smoking, opening onto a tine terrace laid with asphalte, and
a grand dining-room with a table-d'hôte, served ala Francaise, twice
a-day, viz. at one and five o'clock.
The excellent orchestra from the Theatre of Mentz performs three
times a day ; In the morning, at the Springs ; in the afternoon, in
the beautiful Gardens of the Casino ; and in the evening in the
grand Ball-room.
Concerts, Balls, and Fetes of every description succeed each other
without interruption.
The Directors shrink from no sacrifice to render this watering-
place as delightful as possible to its visitors, and to this end have
rented about 50,000 acres of forest-lands and plains, all abounding in
game of every description, as well a reserve Park for the Grandees
Chasses at the close of the winter season. The Casino of Homburg,
is the only establishment of the kind that has enjoyed hitherto the
privilege of remaining open all the year, and the continuation of its
tables for play, its balls, its concerts, and its hunting parties through-
out the winter-season, makes it attract a numerous and select so-
ciety from every quarter of Europe.
The Journey from London to Homburg, passing through Cologne,
Mentz and Frankfort, is performed in 44 hours. The distance from
Frankfort to Homburg is got over in one hour and a half. Mail
coaches and omnibuses run between these places every hoar.

THE EPSOM RACES
Our muse has made a tour to many places,
And now she hastens to the " Epsom races."
For such a scene undoubtedly discloses
Important hints to be improved by MOSES.
Let gentlemen who mean to take their places,
On coaeh or railway, for the Epsom Races,
Obtain a sporting-coat at MOSES' Mart,
Made in a style particular:y smart.
A sporting coat's the very thing, of course,
In which to gaze upon the winning horse.
A sporting gentleman should always court
Habiliments in keeping with his sport :
And, recollect, these articles will suit
The race-course gents, as well as those 'who shoot.
Then don't forget, before you take your places,
To make a purchase for the " Epsom races."
The numerous crowds that will assemble there
Will surely cause a deal of " wear and tear ;"
And sporting coats, like those which MOSES' sell,
Will stand a bustle admirably well.
Then don't forget, before you take your places,
To buy a sporting coat for Epsom Races.
The New Work, entitled " The Monarch Mart," with full direc-
tions for self-measurement, may now be had on application, or for-
, warded post-free.
