The Act 'for the formation of the Wilts and Somerset Railway
having passed the Legislature, the Directors of the present under-
taking propose to take up that line at Salisbury, and join it by a direct
Railway eommunication of twenty-one miles on the broad gauge,
with the important town and port of Southampton. The line has
been carefully surveyed by experienced parties, and as it presents
no engineering or other difficulties (the chief landowners being most
favourably disposed towards it) the Directors have the fullest con-
fidence that t':e estimates for its construction, &c., will not be ex-
ceeded, while the statistics of traffic are so abtindant, both through
and local, (a detailed statement of which may be seen at the office),
as to leave no doubt on the minds of the Directors that a most sa-
tisfactory dividend will be realised, to arise from the large number of
passengers that must embark and disembark at Southampton, to and
from the East and West Indies, the Mediterranean, France, the
Southern States of Europe, the Channel Islands, Isle of Wight, &c.,
as well as the large supplies of iron, coal, slate, stone for building,
flour, grain, and merchandise, constantly required to be transported
to, and received at Southampton, either for use there, for exporta-
tion, or for the consumption in th tt part of the interior of the country
traversed by the number of railways in connexion with, or springing
from, the present line.
The route of the proposed line will pass through commons and
lands of little value ; it will proceed from the stntton of the Wilts,
Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, at Fisherton Anger, and proceed
by or near to Downton, Plaitford, over Hampworth and East Willow
Commons, by Rramshaw to Redbridge, taking the line of the old
Canal at Millbrook, and crossing the Mudlands to the Royal Pier,
Southampton, contiguous to which, and on the present waste shore.
it is proposed to erect a spacious Terminus, the cost of which is in-
cluded in the estimate.
It is also proposed to place the Railway in communication with the
Royal Pier and Town Quays, so that the convenience of loading and
unloading on the line may he secured.
A certain number of Shares will be reserved for the Proprietors
of the Wilts and Somerset Railway.
Appl,cations for Share., according to the annexed form, may be
addressed to the respective Solicitors, or to the Secretary, at the
Offices of the Company, No 26, Gresham-street.

STOCKTON, NORTHALLERTON, THIRSK,
AND LEEDS JUNCTION RAILWAY.
Provisionally Registered, pursuant to the 7th and Bth Vic., cap 110.
PRELIMINARY ADVERTISEMENT.
Capital 350,0001. in 201. Shares. Deposit, 1/. 2s. per Share.
This line, which has received the warm support of parties locally
connected with the district through which it runs, is intended to
commence at or near the important town of Stockton, and proceed
ing by way of Yarm, Kirkleavington, and Brompton, to join the
Great North of England Railway at a point near to Northallertoa.
The advantages which it secures are expedition in the transition of
goods and of passengers from the eastern coast to the manufacturing
districts and to the western coast. The route being by this line to
Northallerton, by the Great North of England to Thirsk, and by the
shortest contemplated line of railway from that place to Leeds. The
traffic which may be expected from the transport of sea-borne goods
from the free port of Stockton to the manufacturing districts of
Yorkshire and Lancashire, and the return trade, especially for the
Baltic and German ports, from the immense quantity of fish con-
tinually sent from the eastern fishing towns to the West Riding,
Manchester, York, Birmingham, London, and innumerable other
places, will insure a full consideration for money invested in a line of
18 miles, which will be constructed for 15,000/. per mile, of which the
ruling gradient does not exceed 1 in 300, and which will have no
tunnel or heavy excavation whatever.
To these sources of emolument may be added, coals for the district
through which it runs, and passengers for the delightful resorts for sea-,
bathing on the eastern coast ; but its importance will be at once dis-
covered from the fact, that goods imported into the river Tees must,
from the absence of all harbour dues, possess an advantage over those
which do not enjoy the same exemption.
Further particulars will be given in a future Advertisement, in
which will be included the names of an influential Provisional Com-
mittee.

GREAT SOUTHERN and WESTERN and WATERFORD and

LIMERICK JUNCTION RAILWAY.
The promoters of this undertaking having obtained the support
and co-operation of the Great Southern and Western Railway Com-
pany, propose to construct a line of railway from Clonmel to Thurles,
via Cashel and Holycross, a distance of twenty-nine statute miles,
to connect the Great Southern and Western with the Waterford and
Limerick Railway, and thus establish for Clonmel a direct communi-
cation with the metropolis by a route the shortest of any yet pro-
posed.
This project now appears before the public with this strong recom-
mendation, " That the Great Southern and Western Railway Com-
pany, being already empowered by their Act to make that part of
the line lying between Thurles and Cashel, have consented to use the
powers vested in them for the benefit of this Company."
This railroad, passing through one of the most fertile and populous
parts of Ireland, will afford accommodation to a district containing
more than 100,000 Inhabitants, and abounding in agricultural pro-
duce ; for which Clonmel, the first inland town in Ireland, with its
extensive mills, breweries, bacon yards, and distillery, offers a cer-
tain market.

This line will also secure to the northern parts of Tipperary, and
the adjoining counties, the most expeditious conveyance to the port
of Waterford.

The extensive collieries of Slievardagh, worked by the Mining
Company of Ireland, lie contiguous, and must prove a great source
of revenue to this Company. Our engineer has been instructed to
examine and report on the best mode of connecting them with the
main line.
Calculating from ,the traffic tables proved before the Committees of
the House of Commons, in the cases of the Great Southern and
Western and Waterford and Limerick Railway Companies, for the
adjoining districts, the Committee look with confidence for an ample
return for the capital Invested.
A preliminary survey of the line has been made ; no engineering
difficulties present themselves ; no tunnelling nor deep cutting will
be required ; no demesnes will be interfered with, and it is calculated
that 10,0001. per mile will be more than sufficient to complete the
undertaking.
This is not a competing line, and has obtainPd the sanction and sup-
port of nearly all the landowners thr@ligh whose property it is in-
tended to pass.
Powers will be taken in the Bill to lease this railway to, or con.
tract with any other Company, so as to ensure the greatest economy
in working the line.

This line of Railway will form the continuation of that from Paris.
Creil, and St. Quentin, to the Belgian frontier, and when completed
will join the Charleroi and Erquelinnes Railway.
In offering this uudertaking to the public, it is important to re-
mark that the Belgian Government ceded to the above-mentioned
Directors, by Royal Ordinance of the 28th May last, the branch line
of Railway above referred to from Charleroi to Erquelinnes (the
French frontier), and consequently this line from St. Quentin to
Maubeuge will give a direct communication by railway from the
Seine to the Rhine—from Paris to Cologne.
• These facts are sufficient of themselves to establish the importance
of the St. Quentin and Maubeuge Ike, which has been carefully sur-
veyed, and offering no engineering difficulties, will be promptly
executed.
Prospectuses will be ready for distribution on Thursday, 12th inst.
Meantime, application for Shares can be addressed to Messrs. Charles

lELTERS WATER, commonly known in Eng.
land as SELTZER WATER.

Messrs. Schweppe and Co , importers of the above Waters, beg
respectfully to inform the public, that they continue to receive, as
heretofore, regular importations of the freshest fillings from the
springs of Nassau, through their resident Agent, who personally su-
perintends the packing and forwarding them to their Address in
London, in baskets of 60 quarts and 100 pints each. The cork of
each bottle is stamped at the bottom, with the ducal crown, and the
words, " Nassau, Sellers, &c." scaled at the top, with the date, spe-
cifying the year when filled. This will be a far better proof of
the freshness, as well as the genuineness of the water, than
any additional covering to the cork, which niay as well be ap-
plied in this country as at the springs, and which affords,
therefore, no security to the public beyond the respectability of the
parties adopting such a fancied guarantee. The Duke of Nassau,
by any recant arrangement, has placed no impediment to the waters
of his celebrated springs reaching thiscountry, through resident
agents, and Messrs. Schweppe and Co. continue, without the slightest
interruption, to import large quantities through the same agent, on
the Rhine, whom they have employed for twenty years past. They
received their first and second shipments on the 12th and 31st of
May, being the first parcels that reached this country, a portion of
which went to Buckingham Palace, for the use of her Majesty and
the Court, and the rest, as usual, distributed among the first classes in
the kingdom. They expect their third shipment in a a few days.
These waters are obtainable together with their well-known Soda
and other Aerated waters of their agents, in neatly every town in
the United Kingdom.

CII AR IT-ABL E TRUSTS' BILL
At a MEETING of the REPRESENTATIVES of the I
CORPORATED LIVERY. COMPANIES of LONDON and Others
interested in theprovisions of the CHARITABLE TRUSTS' BILL, as
passed by the House of Lords, held at the London Tavern,. Bishops-
gate-street, an Thursday, the 3d of July, to take the same into consi-
deration, and to adept such measures as may be expedient,
CHARLES FAREBROTIIER, Esq., Ahlennan, in the Chair,

The following Resolutions were carried unanimously

1. That this meeting views With disapprobation and alarm the in •
troduction into Parliament of a Bill intituled " An Act to secure the
dtke Afffnintstratian of Charitable Trusts in England and Wales,"
which creates a new and unnecessary triburml, attended with expen-
sive machinery, and armed with inquisitorial and extraordinary
powers greater than those the Lord Chancellor has ever possessed,
and which may be turned to purposes of great oppression.
2. That the operation of such a measure will be in the highest degree
unjust and injurious as regards trust property vested in corporate
bodies, which, from their nature and constitution, are not liable to
the incidents which the Bill in question affects to remedy; inasmuch
as corporations present permanent bodies fitted to carry out in per-
petuity the various trusts confided to them, and still poSsess all the
attributes and qualities which first invited the confidence of the donors.

_ .
3. That the subjecting the administration of all trust property to
the dictation of Government Commissioners (from whose decision
there is to be no appeal where the income is under 1001. per annum),
and to the domiciliary visits of their inspectors, will be highly pre-
judicial to the Charities themselves, many of which are augmented,
and some mainly kept on foot by voluntary contributions from the
Corporate Funds of the Trustees ; and that the inevitable result bf
such a measure will be the withdrawal of the assistance hitherto vo-
lunteered, and the prevention of similar benefactions in future.
4. That there is much injustice in the provisions requiring the pro-
duction to the Inspectors and Commissioners, of all wills, deeds,
muniments of title, and other documents, in any way affecting estates
upon which a payment for charitable purposes may happen to be
charged, the supplying them with attested and other copies thereof,
the immediate prblic registration of all such muniments of title en-
forced by arbitrary fines for refusal or neglect, and the registration
from time to time of all transfers or leases of, or dealings with the es-
tates out of which the charity flows : And that such requisitions, so
enforced, are exceedingly oppressive, because, among the 40,000
charities comprised in the twenty-seven Parliamentary Reports, there
are 3,500 cases varying from one shilling to twenty shillings, and 7,000
not exceeding 5/. ; so that, in addition to the public inspection of
many thousand titles to estates, the several Corporations, and other
proprietors, holding lands charged with payments to charities, may be
compelled, by the imposition of fines, to incur on the passing of the
Act, and at all subsequent periods of deal•ng with the estates so
charged, expenses, which, in numerous cases, must of necessity he
borne by themselves, or the charity will be annihilated.
5. That as the Government have refused to admit of any exemp-
tions from the operation of the Act, or to hear reasons adduced for
its modification, notwithstanding witnesses have been examined in
support of the measure, it is necessary that every exertion should be
made to defeat it ; and that petitions against both the principle of the
Bill, and its application to Corporate bodies in particular, be forthwith
presented to the House of Commons by the several bodies represented
at this meeting.
That the foregoing resolutions be inserted in the Times, Chronicle,
Herald, Morning Post, Standard, Sun, and Globe Newspapers.

CHARLES FAREBROTHER; Chairman.
The Chairman having left the chair, and the same having been
taken by JOHN MUSGROVE, Esq., Alderman,
It was resolved unanimously,
That the cordial thanks of this meeting be presented to the Chair-
man for his kindness in presiding.
