PROSPECTUS. -
The proposed line,- commencing at the London and Birmingham
Railway near Northampton, will proceed by Market Harborough to
the Midland Counties line, near Leicester, with a short branch to the
Leicester and Swannington Railway, effecting a very considerable
saving, both of distance and time, between London and Leicester,
Nottingham, Derby, Sheffield, Leeds, and the north of England,
opening the coal and mineral region of Leicestershire abd Derby-
shire to the agricultural district around Market Harborough and
Northampton, and forming, in connexion with the Sheffield and
Chesterfield and Ercwash Valley Railways the shortest line that can
he made to Sheffield, and with the proposed Manchester, Buxton,
Matlock, and Midlands Railway the shortest practical-41e route to
Manchester.
By taking the London traffic direct from Leicester to Bllsworth it
avoids the long stoppage at Rugby (at present sufficiently incon-
venien'), but which must hereafter be materially lengthened by the
junction of the Trent Valley and Oxford and Rugby lines with the
London and Birmingham and Midlands at that station, and will
enable better arrangemenis to be made for the accommodation of the
Oxford and southern traffic, which would still pass over that part of
the Midlands line between Leicester end Rugby.
It will also avoid the Kilsby and Weedon tunnels on the Birming-
ham line (the former of which is upwards of one mile and a quarter
in length), thus combining greater security with Increased expedi-
tion ; and although it necessarily deprives both the London and
Birmingham and Midlands lines, for a short distance, of a portion of
their present traffic, yet this is compensated for tenfold, by enabling
them more successimly to compete for the Leeds and York traffic,
which must otherwise be diverted into other lines now before Par-
liament; thus in effect becoming a most valuable coadjutor instead
of a rival to these Companies,
This line also remedies the inconvenience experienced ftom the
want of immediate connexion between the Leicester and Swanning-
ton and Midlands railways ; and will, by materially reducing the
charge for carriage, enable a much larger quantity of coal to be sent
from the Swannington and Whitwick coal fields, and from the Clay
Cross district, to the interior of the adjoining counties and to the
Metropolis. From a calculation of the traffic on the Midlands and
Manchester and Birmingham lines (a considerable share of which
would be obtained by this Company), it is certain that
a return of at least 12 per cent., will be paid to the
Shareholders, as in addition to the through and intermediate traffic,
a very large profit will be derived from the importation of coal,
stone, and minerals, into the rich agricultural district around Market
Harborough and Northampton ; and from the large quantities of
corn, fat cattle, sheep, &c., annually sent from the whole of the sur-
rounding country to the London Market.
Power will be taken in the Act to allow four per cent. interest on
deposits and calls till the completion of the line, and to lease or sell
the same when made.
Applications for Shares hi the annexed form, accompanied by a
reference to a Banker or Member of the Committee, may be made to
the Solicitors, and to Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, Threadneedle-
street, London; and Messrs. Cardwell and Sons, Manchester; and at

We have about as much from the Pnnjaub for our Etighs
readers, on the present occasion, as we had upon the last, anc
that is just nothin.;. The squabbles, and even the oc-
casional cut-throatings, and other treacheries which occur
between the Jumboo Rajah and the Rhalsas, are disgusting
without being of importance ; nor do we now anticipate that
therewill be any occurrence of real interest in that quarter
until after the ensuing rains, when the presence of the Go-
vernor-General on the frontier, and the greater openness and
vivacity which will then necessarily become apparent in our
military movements, will cause attention and excite-
ment at the least, even should no Punjaub operations
result from the circumstances of the next cold season. The
Sinde news which we are now enabled to send home, if not
brilliant, is satisfactory. Desperate robbers who dwelt in
hardly accessible wilds and fastnesses—antres vast and
deserts idle—have been put down, and the principals of them
captured, by the capital arrangements which were made for
that purpose on the part of Sir Charles Napier, who, with his
willing and indomitable troops, deserves the highest degree
of professional credit, though the nature of the arduous case
did not admit of their winning for immortal record, any of
those glorious victories which take captive the public heart,
and in which the glory of war is made chiefly to consist.
We have but little commercially new to notice since our
last. The money market has continued as before reported,
and we now hear that the tightness has extended to Bombay,
where a few months ago there was no employment for it.
We may therefore expect, even should the internal peace of
the country be maintained through the year, that there will
be no superabundance, especially as the exchanges indicate
bullion remittances.

THE WAY TO WEALTH ! !
The way to get wealth we would beg to express,
Depends a great deal on your manner of dress
'Tis the key of society—many there are,
Who find to their prospects a very great bar—
This obstacle now we would fain obviate,
Aud the "way to get wealth" would likewise illustrate !
There are many ways of getting wealth. Some get it by law—
some by medicine—some obtain it by gallantry in the army—ethers
by a noble daring in the navy—some get it at home—others abroad
—some gain wealth on the stage of a theatre—others gain it on the
stage of life—but it is quite obvious that unless a man dresses well,
wealth Is a commodity that cannot easily be obtained. Now the
shortest way, and by far the surest, to obtain wealth, is to patronise
the MAGNIFICENT EMPORIUM of L. lIYAM, 36, GRACE-
CHURCH-STREET, LONDON. Attire yourself in his unrivalled
clothing--13e persevering—obliging—and devotedly intent on your

way to wealth, honour, and esteem 1

WEATHER PREDICTIONS. All who
delight in this foreknowledge should purchase, without loss
of thus, ORIMSTONE'S WEATHER AL3IANACK, whose predic-
tions of the weather, from his publication to the present day, have
been checked by many proprietors of newspapers and other works.
The " Times " has eulogised its correctness and peculiar mode of
printing ; see page 57. The "John Bull " published its usual check.
Dec. 22, 1944, giving it, indeed, 33G correct! daily predictions , see
copy, pages 52 and 54. Also, "The Sun," the "Globe," the "Era,"
the " Post," " Herald," " Chronicle," " Satirist," " Punch," and
many others, have noticed the correctness of this unique work.
Amongst the great variety of matter is an interesting biography of
hir Royal Highness Prince Albert while at the College of 1101111 ; also
useful Chronology, Royal Family, both Houses of Parliament, Sum-
mary of Population of the British Empire, Population of the chief
towns and cities ; a Calendar, containing Sundays, festivals, anni-
versaries, phenomenons, chronological events, moon's age, eclipses,
tides, gardeners' monthly calendar, a column for the weather of every

many green eye-shades, and other human disfigurements. It is the
only fashionable snuff of the day sold under the authority of the
Lords of rfe Treasury and Royal Family. Grimstone's Weather

It is still too early to judge of the coming crop of indigo.
From Dacca, Jessore, and the eastern districts generally we
have received great complaints of drought, whilst from Tir-
hoot and Purneah accounts are favourable. Within the last
few days heavy rain has fallen in our immediate neighbour.
hood, and if it has been general, it is in time to be highly ser-
viceable. On the whole we see no reason at present to esti-
mate the coming crop lower than an average one.
Our dispatches on this eccasion were brought by the Queen
of the Belgians, which made the passage from Boulogne to
Folkestone in a gale of wind in two hours and ten minutes,
thus giving another decided proof of her superiority over
every-other steamer on the station.
COMMERCIAL REPORT, APRIL 7.

Eraplgraegge;teaMO
Juddah, the Government express did not reach this before the
evening of the let instant, and the whole of the letters have scarcely
even as yet been delivered. This, coupled with the intervention of
several native holidays, has in some measure checked operations,
but there has nevertheless been a steady business doing, and our
market remains in much the same position as on the 19th ult. The
late news from England has scarcely at all affected this market ;
and although the fact of the Court of Directors having lowered
their rate for bills on this country from Is. 10d. to Is. 9d. per rupee
has caused more firmness to be shown by drawers, buyers from the
small amount to remit seem equally determined on not giving way
much, and the consequence will be that a considerable part of the
shipments will continue to go through the Company's hands.

Sir,—For the last three or four years I have been labouring under

to try your excellent Eye Snuf I accordingly procured one of your

much so that I sent for two more, which, having used, I found my
hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf since. I should
mention that the time I commenced taking your Eye Snuff was in

Indigo—Our season for this staple is now over, and all that re.
mains to be disposed of is a few parcels of low up-country sorts for
which holders have hitherto been asking too high a figure, although
it is possib:e they may now succeed in obtaining it, as there are at
present but few articles offering a better chance of a fair remunera-
tion, especially when we consider the low ruling of exchange. Since
our last issue a small public sale was held, at which full prices were
obtained, and a parcel consisting of A and E F, Nos. I to 110, and
E F, Nos. 1 to IS, also found a purchaser a: Company's rupees 120

OVERLAND MAIL.

INDIA AND CHINA.

(From the 77/nes.)
We have received by our extraordinary express, inantici-
pation of the bi-monthly' Indian • mail, intelligence from
Bombay to the. sth of April; Calcutta the 7th; and Madras
the 14th.

The intelligence is not of a very important character. Sir
Charles Napier's expedition against the Pindarees has been
crowned with complete success. Bejar Khan, their leader,
and a considerable part of his followers, have been captured.
The Punjaub remains in a very unsettled state. The
Kiralsa troops have come to an arrangem..nt with Gonlal,
Singh, who is to pay them 36 lacs of rupees.
The measures for concentrating a body of troops on the
north-west frontier of the Sutlej are nearly completed. Sir
Hardinge will visit the Upper Provinces during the
year. _

Cholera is prevalent in Calcutta, but it is not of a nature
;o create more than customary alarm.
The Peninsular and Oriental steamer, Lady Mary Wood,
arrived at Calcutta on the 3d of April, and will proceed to
Ceylon and China in August.
From China there is no news of interest. . •
There is a floating report that Aden has been surprised and
captured, but no reliance can be placed on a report which has
become proverbial by its frequency.
The court •martial on Colonel Wallace had not commenced
sitting when our last accounts were received from Belgaum.
Colonel Moseley has submitted a memorial to the Court of
Directors, praying for restoration to the service, which will
most likely be. granted when the important fact, made known

The lionnhay tioveriiment has promulgated an order ma-
terially arreeting the intqro,t, ,if the junior members of the
civil service. It is to the etieet that 114.1 one shall he em-
ployed in the public -ervice until he shall have passed
in two of the native languages, of which llindostanee
is to he the first, and Maltratta, Goozerathee, or
Canarese the second, and only fifteen months are to
be allowed to acquire the necessary qualification, ex•
cept at the discretion of Government, which may grant an
extension of six months when they think proper. T
Government has also officially recognised the greau num.)
that railroads would be to the authorities in India, ark
has expressed an intention of recommending the Court o
Directors to take at least 500 shares in the one projected at.
Bombay as soon as it is satisfied that the shareholders are
men of substance and integrity.
From the Straits Settlements we have no intelligence of
importance.
Boarnir, Amur. -s.—The annexed general order was issued
by his Excellency Sir C. Napier, G.C.8., Governor of Sinde :
" Head.quarters, Truckee, March I I, 1845.
"AFTER ORDERS.
"Soldiers,—There are different kinds of glory- -the glory of
battle, and the glory of endtirance. Of the first, the little to be
gleaned was carried away by Salter, Jacob, and their companions.
To us there remained only the glory of exertion and endurance,
and it has been won by you In such a guise As to do you the
greatest credit. Never have I served with men more thoroughly'
imbued with the true military spirit; and it becomes me, as I have
witnessed it, to give you the credit you so well deserve.
" I have heard it said that some of the officers of the Second
European Regiment took umbrage with me without clearly know-
ing why. I smiled at the pouting of younger soldiers with an old
one. This generally happens in the beginning of a campaign, alter
which a good fight, like a good storm, clears the atmosphere of the
bilious vapours. As there is no fight, a little reflection must do
the work and tell these gentlemen, that as my great admiration of
their excellent and beautiful regiment is well known, so must I,
and so do I, greatly appreciate the corps of officers. No good
regiment ever had bad officers—the two things are incompatible.
Of no body of officers have I a higher opinion than of those be.
longing to the ild Europeans
" The men of the 64th have, in this short campaign, gained
under Major Brown's command the character which they lost
under the late Lieutenant Colonel Moseley. Good officers
always make good soldiers. When Major-General Ilunter re-
turns to Sukkur, he is to restore to this now good regiment their
colours, a duty which, I am sure, will be particularly gratifying
to that officer, to whom the 64th regiment and the Indian army
are deeply indebted.
" We shall soon return to our cantonments, and wait with pa-
tience for service, having all mided something to our previous
knowledge of war. To those who are about to leave my corn.
!Nand I wish every success."
