W. 11. Moberloy, Southampton
The object of this undertaking is to afford to tho 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 be effected by a Line of Railway from Southamp-
ton to Salisbury, constructed ou the broad gauge, and forming a
junction there with the Line projected by tho 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 tra-
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 s 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 now markets and develope 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 neighbdurhood, and also the steam-vessels
frequeating the port with a constant and regular supply at a low
rate ; while the supply of seaborne 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 Rway at
Fisherton Anger, and proceed by or near to Dowaton, Plaitford,
Redbridge, Millbrook, to the oyal 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 make 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 een made, and it pre-
sents no engineering difficulties, and the surveys are in course of
completion.
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, Bucklersbury,

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 perfectly 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 Prefessor 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 ease the peculiar water best
adapted to it, and of modifying the treatment according to the course
and progress of the complaint. all
The internal use of these waters is of constant efficacy, above
when drunk at their source, for thou the vivifying 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 aro stimulant, tonio, 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 affbrd 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, aro pierced
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-
nifieent 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 basks of the
Rhine. It contains splendid saloons for balls and concerts ; roans
for the games of Trente et Quarante, and for Roulette tables ; a
Cabinet for reading, in which are most of the Germatf an
e, French,
English, Russian. Belgian, and Dutch j a Ce-room ; a
Divan for smoking, opening on to a fine terrace laid with asphalte, and
a grand dining-room with a table-d'hOte, served ala Francaise, twice
a-day, viz. one and five o'clock.
The excellent orchestra from the Theatre of Mnentzthe performs three
times a day ; in the morning, at the Springs ; i aft in
the beautiful Gardens of the Casino ; and in the evening in the
grand Bah-room.
Concerts, Balls, and Fetes of every description succeed molt other
without interruption.
The Directors shrink from no sacrifice to render thls
this,atering-
place as delightful as possible to its visitors, and to 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
Chimes at the close of the winter season. The Casino of Homburg,
is the only establishment ofe kind that has enjoyed hitherto the
privilege of remaining open nil 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.

,‘ HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE
ALBERT has of late taken great interest in the
breeding of the Llama, from which a very tine wool is obtained. The
cloth made of this is of a peculiarly soft and agreeable texture, and
as some curiosity has been raised by the announcement of the registry
of a coat under the new Act, by Messrs. NICOLL, of Regent-street,
Tailors to the Court, it may be marked that such was .made of this
material. The coat itself is termed the REGISTERED PALETOT,
ani in its appearance there is nothing very singular beyond a very
gentlemanly neatness and an absence of all unsightly ♦ulgarity.
Upon being submitted at Court, it met with high approbation."—
Morning Post, April 19. " This garment is so great an imrove-
ment on the old wrap-rascal, that its general acoption by men of taste
is inevitable."—The Sum, April 30. " Amongst the registration of
designs, according to the now Act, that of a coat is to be ftiand. Tho
notions of securing the particular substance and cut of a coat is cer-
tainly a new one, but it speaks well tbr the working of an Act which
thus secures the profits of a good judgment and well directed ingenuity
to those to whom alone it is due."—The Times, April 4. Registered

GOVERNMENT PROTECTION, under 6 and
7 Vic., cap. 65, for three years, obtained by I. J. and D.
NICOLL, COURT TAILORS, 114, Regent-street, London, for their
new introduction, the REGISTERED PALETOT, which is a summer
overcoat, light in weight, embracing tho convenience and comfort ef
the wrapper of tweed and its moderate price, without its inelegant and
universally admitted common appearance.
Tho material is of a peculiar softness, made expressly of the finest
Llama wool, and in its fashion is neither trop negligh 111 trop habillb,
but whilst showing to advantage the proportions of the figure, it can-
not encumber free movement, worn riding or walking ; it will also,
from the neatness of its form, admit its being used as a light Frock
Coat—a desirable advantage iu our warmest summer month,, or
abroad, where heat is found oppressive. 11. J. and D. -Nicoll, sensi-
tive to the importance of that vade mecum—a moderate light over-
coat—in a climate so changeable as that of Great Britain, would not
submit to the public the Registered Paletot till themsetves satisfied of
its being perfect, and that when used as a pardessus, riding or walking,
or as summer frock, the above firm might pledge a reputation, which,
standing matured skill and honour b royal patronage, is of some
standing. This they can do with safety; as their new introduction,
they respectildly submit, will not compromise that characteristie of
an English gentleman, the unassumed neatness of his attire. As a
wide extended eatable iought, the very merate price of Two Guineas
is fixed. Respctfirms will alone beteated with relative to an
agency for the sale of the Registered Paletot, to whom alone a discount
can be allowed. There being a large and increasing demand, many

• 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 particularly 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 sh.
Then don't forget, before you take your places,oot
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 adtnirsbly well.
Then don't forget, before you take your places,
To buy a sporting coat for Epsom Races.

through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such, among

"Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto
neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the

concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere

io pi,npnee st Prospority to tho Provittont ROA
Uenefit Association, and way it no:minus anti fioireian foo
ever."—(Loud cheers.) _ _

Mr. Thous, the Chairman of the Board of Manages
meat, expressed his acknowledgments for the
%via supported,
not only by the Chairman, but by the great body of the
first commercial houses in the City.—(Hear, hear.) The
attendance of so ,many gentlemen of the highest statta-
ing in connexion with the commercial and banking in-
terests of London that evening, showed the anxiety
which was felt in these quarters for the success of that
Society.—(Hear, hear.) But after all, as bad been very
properly suggested by their Chairman, the great and
paramount basis of the Association must be the support
which it would receive from the clerks themselves.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed "Prosperity to the
Bank of England and the East India I% eipany," and,
in doing so. h.- took the lipportunity f eulogising the
energy and ability of the gentl,inito whose name he
mentioned in connexion with the monetary mutters of
thi country, as displayed by him upon recent occasions.
when he had to negotiate with the Minister upon bank-
tug mt.tters.—(Bear, hear.) With respect to commerce,
all he would say upon such a subject was, that it tended
to advance civilisation and promote the general lit lfare
of the community.
Mr. CorroN returned thanks. He did not anticipate
that he should ever have another opportunity of return-
ing thanks for a compliment paid to the Bank of England,
being no longer its governor. He felt it, however, no
little honour to be mentioned in the way that he had
been by their worthy Chairman. He felt proud in having
contributed in any way to place the monetary system of
this country on a safe and sound footing.—(llear, hear.)
With respect to the object of the meeting, he could
assure them that he felt a deep interest in it, and he
should be most happy if any a* of his would have the
effect of advancing its interests, and promoting its pros-
perity.—(Cheers.) He had no doubt that under these
operations England would stand forth as the greatest
mart of commerce in the world.—(Cheers.) It was true
that he did not require clerks now, I.e wished he did—
(Cheers)—but he had been placed in the situation
in which he knew the value of able and excellent clerks.
—(Cheers.) lie had been, while Governor of the Bank
of England, anxious, as well as Ms brother Directors,
to do all they could for the comfort and happiness of the
clerks its that establishment.—(Great cheering.) He
was sure that those who were connected with the com-
mercial world must have, and had the greatest interest
in the comfort and happiness of those whom they em-
ployed, and that no exertion would be slating on their
part to enable them to keep up that sn in society
which they now held.—(Cheers.) He hoped to see theta
removed to a higher one, and if any exertion of his could
effect such an olject, it would be fhe happiest moment
of his life.—(Great cheering.)
Mr. TIIoDISoN HANKRY, jun., then proposed the health
of the Chairman, which was drank most enthusiastically.
The CHAIRMAN returned thanks. He was sorry that
illness had prevented the attendance of his brother, but
he felt proud in stating that he was the first to put his
hand to paper with regard to the promotion of this ex-
cellent Institution—(Great cheering)—and if he (the
Chairman) had assisted in forwarding the hilarity ot the
meeting, he had received the only reward he asked
for.—(Cheering,)
Song—" The Merry Gipsy Band."
The CHAIRMAN then gave the next toast, which was
" Su. J. Hall and the Stewards."
Sir J. HALL returned thanks. It was important, in his
opinion, to keep up the spirit of the meeting of %%at day,
and in order to do so, ho thought the best (erase to be
pursued would be to put down the names of the Stewards
for the next year.—(Great cheering.) .
The toast having been duly responded to.,
The CHAIRMAN proposed " The health of Sir J. Hall
and the Stewards elect."—(Great cheering.)
Sir J. HALL again returned thanks,
Mr. THOMSON HANKEY then rose to propose the toast
of " The Press." In doing so he feleirbouncl to state that
the Society had not more sincere friends than that
body.—(Great cheering.) The press of London had
always pointed out the benefits that were to be derived
from the Institution, and they ;tad done more, they had
pointed out the course that ovght to be pursued by its
members.—(Great cheering..) He thought that the As-
sociation owed a deep debt of gratitude to those gentle-
men who unsought had given so favourable an opinion of
the Institution and its merits.—(Cheers.) There were
no doubt many members of the press present, but he
could not but allude to one in particular, who Nogaj his
left hand, because he had done all he could Ito the
benefit of the lustitution.—(Great cheering.) He al-
luded to Dr. Sheridan, the editor of the Morning Arbor-
, titer, a man whom he bad no doubt in saying was the
friend of humanity, and the inteligent advocate for the
happiness of the whole human race.—(Cheers.)
The " Health of Dr. Sheridan and the Press," was
then drank amid the most enthusiastic cheers.
Dr. SHERIDAN then rose to return thanks. He was
proud ot the manner in which his name had been asso-
ciated on that occasion with the press. It was a power-
ful engine—one that was calculated to do greatgoad if it
were properly employed—and one that might do great
evil if misapplied.—(Hear, hear.) He begged in the
outset to correct an error which had been inadvertently
made by the Hon. Gentleman who had proposed the
toast. He was not so fortunate as to be the proprietor
of the Morning Advertiser—he wished he were so.—(A
laugh.) He only held the humble office of editor
of that journal, but in that capacity, in having
the opportunity of giving free expression to those
opinions and principles which, in his conviction, were
best calculated to advocate the political, moral,
and social improvement of mankind, he felt
more pride than if he were the proprietor of the most
profitable journal of the day, which would prove ready
to sell its influence to the highest bidder, and sacrifice
its high mission to individual purposes.—(Heur, hear,)
He felt proud of being surrounded at that festive board
by gentlemen who were the representatives of the com-
merce of England, and to whom England was mainly
indebted for the proud position which she now occupied
among the nations of the earth.—(Hear, hear.) The
press had an important duty to perform. It was the em-
bodiment of the public sentiment, and whatever obloquy
it might suffer under, or whatever slight it might re-
ceive, if the gentlemen belonging to it only did their duty
by it, it would be in a different position from that in
which it was at present--(Hear, hear.) It was not
merely the editors of the public journals that
had arduous duties to perform in connexion with
them. As with the drama so with the press—there
were different departments. The abilities ot Shakspeare
were and are indisputable, but as a performer he was
not distinguished. Garrick and Kean, incomparable as
actors, never added to their fame in the capacity of
authors. And so with the press. There were ardoons
and honourable duties to be performed in its several de-
partments. The reporters of these journals—espeoially
the Parliamentary reporters—had onerous duties to exe-
cute.—(Hear, hear.) Many of these gentlemen, stimu-
lated by a glorious self-devotion, did not hesitate to leap
from the gallery into the body of the House of Com-
mons—to rush through it into the House of Lords, and
there, even at the present moment, threaten to assault
the woolsack itself.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) Yet
these individuals neglected and forgot that Press, which
was the very source from which their greatness sprung.
—(Hear.) He begged again to thank them for the com-
pliment which they had paid him in associating his name
with the Press, and to assure them that no effort on his
part should be wanting in future to merit the homer
that they had that evening conferred upon him.—(Hear.)
" The Health of the Ladies" was drank amid great
cheering.
The Chairman then left the chair, which was taken by

pose the health of their now Chairman, without whose
exertions he believed they would not have had the
dinner they had had that day, and that the Institution
would have long ceased to exist, and have become only
a subject for the historian.
The toast, together with that of the health of the
Managing Committee, was drank amid great applause.
The CHAIRMAN returned thanks. He believed, that
the foundation on .which the Society rented was a firm,
a solid, and substantial one, and that the exertions that.
had been made on his part, and those conneeeed with him
were only of secondary consideration.—(Cries of
" No, no.") He thought that now the value of the In.
stitution had not only been appreciated by the clerks-
themselves, but by the great houses in the City of
London.—(Cheers.) Although the progress of the In-
stitution had been slow, he believed it was destined to be
one of the largest and most influential in the City of
London.—(Cheers.) He could assure them that the
Committee of Management had worked for it—and they
had not only lost their time but their money.._.
(Laughter.) He begged to return his sincere thanks to
the meeting on behalf of those who were associated with.
him and himself.—(Cheers.)
Mr. THOMAS proposed " The health of the Secretary
Dr. Mullinder," and eulogised the ability and energy of
that gentleman. They could never too highly appreciate
Dr. MULLENDER, in expressing his acknowacalher
the value of that gentleman's services.—(Cheers.)

The Chairman of the Board of Management, in the
course of the evening, announced that the subscription
amounted to upwards of 1,000/. Amongst the sub-
scribers were J. A. Smith, M.P., 25 guineas, Baron
Rothschild 251, Messrs. liankey 10 guineas, Sir J. Hall
Si., the Guarantee Society 10 guineas, Messrs. Crauford

THE PROVIDENT CLERKS'
ASSOCIATION.
The first election of annuitants to this invaluable In
stitution was celebrated last evening by a public dinner,
at the City of London Tavern. The election of two
annuitants took place in the early part of the day—Mr.
Thomson Hankey, jun., being in the chair. These
annuitants, under the provisions which regulate this In-
stitution, will be entitled to 151. a year, a sum small in
itself, but no small addition to the income of the wife of
a deceased clerk, whose emolument dies with himself.
It is with regret that we have to state that, in conse-
quence of ill health, the treasurer, John Abel Smith,
Esq., M.P., was unable to attend, but his place was most
ably filled by his brother, Mr. Martin T. Smith.
Although this Institution was founded in 1840, and.has
"attained such success as to leave no doubt of the assurance
of its existence, there has been, until Wednesday
evening, no celebration of any anniversary by a public
dinner. The meeting of Wednesday night must be
considered as a stimulus to further exertions on the
part of those who are the friends and well-wishers of
the Institution, surrounded as they were by some of the
first merchants of London, and honoured by the com-
pany of the late Governor of the Bank of England
(W. Cotton, Esq.), Christopher Pearse, Esq., George
Pollard, Esq., Oliver Vile, Esq., J. Fletcher, Esq.
Lestock P. Wilson, Esq., D. P. Chapman, Esq., Rev. P.
Maitland, James Mackillop, Esq., John Nichol-
son, Esq., Liverpool; Daniel Mildred, Esq., Thom-
son Hankey, jun., Esq., E. H. Palmer, Esq.,
Samuel Gregson, Esq., R. Durant, Esq., Sir John Hall,
K.C.H. I. L. Anderdon, Esq., James W. Gilbert, Esq.,
Child, Esq., Dr. Sheridan, William Lyall, Esq.,
Robert Lyall, Esq., Geo. Hankey, Esq., Thomas Dunn,
Esq., C. Barton, Esq., Win. Smee, Esq., Alfred Smee,
Esq., F.R.S., and several other gentlemen of great in-
fluence. The ladies too did not forget to grace this
auspicious meeting, and their appearance was hailed
with the most enthusiastic plaudits. The following
gentlemen were unable to attend, but sent letters of
apology:—David W. Wire, Esq , Sir John Rae Reid,
Sir J. Lubbock, Frederick Huth, Esq., T. Tooke,
Esq., F.R.S., Joshua Walker, the Governor, and Deputy
Governor, of the Bank of England, John Labouchere,
Sir J. Lubbock, G. Lyall, Esq., M.P., S. Marjoribanks,
Esq., M.P., and Sir J. Pirie, Bart.
This was the fourth anniversary of this invaluable
institution, and at a moderate computation not less than
from 250 to 300 gentlemen sat down to a dinner that did
the greatest credit to Messrs. Bathe and Breach.
The cloth having beeen withdrawn, and " Non Nobis
Domine" most effectively sung by the vocalists present,
Messrs. Sporle, Ransford, Bruton, Lloyd and Pyne,
The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of the Queen.
It had been well said by a Noble Lord that many were
illustrious by courtesy, and others by their deeds ; he
thought among the latter class they might place their
gracious Sovereign at the head.—(Great cheering.) She
was ennobled not only by her high station, but by the
kindness and the feeling that she showed towards her
subjects.—(Cheers.)
The toast was drank amid the most rapturous ap-
plause, after which the National Anthem was sung in
excellent style by the vocalists present.
The health of the Queen Dowager was drank with
great enthusiasm.
Glee—" Lady of Beauty."
The health of Prince Albert and all the Royal Family
was drank amid much applause.
Glee—" Star of Brunswick."
" The Army and Navy" was drank with three times
three.
Duet, " Soldier and Sailor," by Messrs. Ransford and
Lloyd.
The CHAIRMAN then said, that having now done jus-
tice to the customary toasts connected with their national
feelings, they must now go to business. lie had now to
propose 0 Prosperity to the Provident Clerks' Associa-
tion. ' He must first express his deep regret that an ac-
cident bad occurred to his relative, who had ever felt a great
interest in the society, which prevented him from taking
the chair that evening. He felt it the more because he
felt assured that he was far more able than he was to
advocate the claims of the Society, and to enforce upon
those present who were not yet enrolled as its members
the value of its usefulness and the truth of its necessity.
—(Cheers.) The objects of the Association were twofold,
and though many present were well acquainted with its
details, he thought it was his duty to call the atten-
tion of the meeting to what the real objects of
the Society were. The first object was that of a Life
Assurance Company, enabling every one that was a
subscriber, at a small premium, to insure his life for the
benefit of his family and survivors. The second object
was, to afford temporary relief in case of temporary
difficulty ; and, third, permanent relief in case of con-
firmed illness and decay. It was also part of the system
of the Society to give permanent annuities to the widows
of those clerks who had been subscribers, and who bad
died in indigence. Now, with respect to the first sub-
scription, it ought to be remembered that it was only one
guinea per annum. He thought, of all persons. the clerks
of the City of London were the persons requiring most to
be benefited. They were all affected. By having an an-
nuity they had an annual income ; and they could not
forget that with their death their remuneration would
cease, and their wives and families would be left with-
out any support. The Association had been hitherto but
little known ; it had excited but little interest in the
City, and from his own knowledge he was aware, that
not only the great houses in the metropolis had taken no
notice of it, but they had even told those whom they em-
ployed that it was not worthy of their support.—
(Hear, hear.) He was, however, happy to say that on
that day a great exception in that respect had taken
place in two cases—(Hear, hear)—in the case of Messrs.
Jones, Lloyd, and Co., and the Messrs. Cran-
ford and Co , both of whom had subscribed one hun-
dred guineas each—(Great cheering)—and, when he
added that, on the same day, the widows of two
clerks had been elected to the receipt of pensions of 151.
a year each, he thought that no one would deny to
him that the Society was

of the Society, if possible, to raise the clerks, not only in
the metropolis, but in other parts of the country, to a
higher grade in society.—(Hear.) There was hardly a
single body in society that was not influenced by the
persons whose interests they were then met to support.

support of this Institution, and in conclusion be begged
