. .
The object which has for a long time occupied the attention of
every railway proprietary whose line terminates near the metropolis,
viz., the attainment of some point for their terminus situated more
centrally, and with readier access to London travellers than their pre-
sent sites, appears now to be in course of completion.
Two principal lines of railway, the South Western and South
Eastern, have proposed and intend to carry into effect extensions of
their lines from the existing termini to the neighbourhood of the
Waterloo and Hungerford Bridges, and to this point the traffic from
Birmingham and the North of England will also be enabled to pro-
ceed, through the contemplated extension of the West London Rail-
way, across the Thames to a junction with the South Western Line.
The perfect attainment of the object in view will, however, remain
unaccomplished, so long as the terminating point is kept on the south
side of the river; since, although a considerable improvement as
compared with the present positions will thereby be effected, still the
station in the Waterloo-bridge-road is remote and inconvenient to the
larger proportion of travellers, and the evils now so justly complained
of will be far from completely obviated.
It is with the view of supplying this deficiency that the promoters
of the London Central Railway Terminus lay their project before the
public. They propose to provide means whereby the passenger car-
riages from every line in connexion with the metropolis, can be con-
veyed across the Thames to a general station erected in the imme-
, liate vicinity of Charing-cross.
For this purpose plans have been prepared, which have received
the approval of the most eminent engineers, for carrying a double
line of rails over the river, adjoining the new Hungerford Suspension-
bridge, and supported by a simple and inexpensive addition to the
'present erections of that structure.
For the vast amount of traffic which will thus be brought to the
Middlesex side of the river, it is intended to provide a centrabstation
of corresponding magnitude. The Company, therefore, purpose to
undertake the execution of part of the embankment, according to the
plan of the Government for embanking the Thames, for the dig-tame
lying between Waterloo and Hungerford-bridges, and over part of the
area thus obtained from the river, to erect a station of size sufficient

to supply the purposes of every separate railway, and furnished with
every requisite provision for the wants of the respective Companies
and the convenience of their passengers. The property of the Com-
pany will extend through the whole frontage of the ♦delphi-terrace,
the present buildings of which, as well as those to be hereafter
erected, will be admirably adapted fora series of splendid hotels.
This project would have been before the public at an earlier period,
but the projectors were desirous of obtaining the full concurrence of
her Majesty's Commissioners for Metropolitan Improvements; and
they are now enabled to state, that the plans have been laid before
the Commissioners, and as far as relates to the embankment and
terminus, have met with their decided approval.
On the south side of the river the proposed railway will join the
several extension lines at their nearest point of approach to the
Thames and to each other, and thus will constitute a leader into the
heart of London for the Birmingham, South Western, Brighton, and
South Eastern lines, at present existing, as well as for the various
proposed lines through Kent, and to Richmond and Staines, which
will shortly be in course of construction. The Directors of several
of the above-mentioned Companies have already expressed their ap-
probation of the undertaking; but the advantages it offers are so
great and obvious that there can be no doubt of the cordial co-opera-
tion of the managers and proprietors of the ether lines, without ex-
ception.
The plan presents no features of difficulty, or Involving the neces-
sity of any extraordinary expense. The ground to be occupied by
the station will. from its peculiar character, be obtainable at a com-
paratively small cost; and from estimates careffilly prepared it is
proved that a capital of 500,0001. will be sufficient for the accomplish-
ment of every purpose in contemplation. This capital it is proposed
to raise in 25,000 shares of 20/. each.
In order to favour the multitudinous travellers for short distances
wit of London, the toll charged to passengers for any station short of
twenty miles will be less than that required from those bound on
more extended journeys, and who are more likely to be encumbered
with luggage. An average of 2d. has been assumed ipen the whole
number estimated.

From the tratile returns of the railways now completed, together
with the increase to be derived from the lines at present before Par-

!lament, it is estimated that the annual number of arrivals and de-
partures of passengers from their London termini, who will select the
Central Station for their landing point, will amount to 5,500,000 ;
the gross receipts from whom, at a toll of 2d. each, will be 45,0001. per
annum. From this amount a deduction of 20 per cent. for working
expenses, &c. (including the rental to the Proprietors of Hungerford-
bridge), will be amply sufficient, as the Company will have no need
of locomotives, and therefore be freed from those items which occa-
sion the heaviest expenditure on other railways. This will leave a
net profit of 36,000/. per annum for the tolls alone. To this must be
added the profits that wilt be derived from the various wharfs and
buildings, and from the proposed pier for steam-boats, amounting on
the most moderate calculation to an annual rental of at least 15,000/.
With this addition, the total returns will amount to somewhat mere
than le per cent. on the capital required. The completion of every
new railway, and the opening of every extension line or feeder to the
"icing railways, will produce a constant inerease in the revenue of
the proposed line, and promise to raise it most rapidly to an impoi-
tant rank as an investment for capital.
The Provisional Committee have also taken into consideration a
plan for extending the proposed Embankment and Railway from the
great Central Station to some point nearer the City, and are deeply
impressed with the great public advantages derivable from such an
undertaking.
This plan has been referred to the Engineer and Surveyors of the
Company, whose report thereon may be expected in a short time,
when the estimates of the additional expense, and other particulars,
will be duly announced.
Forms of application and Prospectuses may be obtained at the
Offices of the Company, 20, 3foorgate-street ; or from the Solicitors,

gas have passed through some of these meters without regula•
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 on the brass badge in front of all his
meters.

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 coach 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 rates."
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 Rill direc-
tions for self-measurement, may now be had on application, or for-
warded post-free.

Ilruce, M.P. William Haigh, Esq.
sir Jatnes Eyre, M.D. Edward Thomas Whitaker, Esq.
Matthew Forster, Esq., M.P. George Frederick Young, Esq.
The popularity which this Company has attained may be illus-
trated by the fact, that life assurances to the extent of half a million
sterling were proposed to the Directors, in the year 1844 alone.
This is the year in which the third division of the Company's pro-
fits falls to be made. The necessary investigation is now in progress,
and all persons assuring before 15th November next, will share in
the division.
The Standard is one of the first proprietary offices in this country.
and the success which has attended the business, and its judicious
regulations, are such as to give every prospect ofgreat and increasing
advantages to all connected with it.

CHWEPPE'S SODA and other ALKALINE
1.3 WATERS continue to be manufactured, as usual, upon the
largest scale, at their several establishments, and to maintain their
supremacy over all others. Each bottle has its proper proportion of
alkali ; but, to prevent imposition, consumers are earnestly requested
to'ascertain that a label, with their name, is over the cork of each
bottle of Soda Water, and a label on each bottle of Lemonade and
Potass Water. Schweppe's Liquid Magnesia is of the finest quality,
and strongly recommended as a cure for gout, acidity of the stomach,
Am, by the first London physicians.

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious Metals, called Nickel and German Silver, sup-
planted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
ALBATA PLATE.
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 tke 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
Sideboard :

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

PATENT PARAGON CAMPHINE 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
16 wax candles.
C. Watson's Warehouses, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton
