ENGINEER -William Gravatt, Esq., F.R.S.
This line will commence near the city of Oporto, and continuing
through Lamego, will traverse the very heart of the great Wine dis-
trict of Portugal to Torre de Mencervo, within a few miles of the
Spanish frontier.

The manifest advantages of this line render comment almost un-
necessary. Preliminary surveys have established the fact that there
are no engineering difficulties of importance to overcome, and the
traffic of the country is even now so great, that no reasonable doubt
can exist as to the lucrative nature of this investment.

The improved state of affairs in the Peninsula will eventually ensure
the extension of this line to the ancient and populous city of Sala-
manca, and the very heart of Spain. It is difficult to estimate the
beneficial results of the completion of such a line. An immense dis-
trict of the most fertile country in Europe will be brought into imme-
diate contiguity with the sea-coast, and thence, by consequence, with
England and all the maritime nations of the world.

The Provisional Committee avail themselves of the earliest possible
opportunity to apprise the public that such legal measares will be
adopted, as must afford the Subscribers to this Company ample pro-
tection.

In consequence of the negotiation now pending, the Prospectuses
are unavoidably delayed a few days.

In the meantime forms of application may he had at the offices of
the Company, 95, Grarechurch-strect ; at the Solicitors, Messrs. May-
hew and Sons, 26, Carey-street, Lincoln's-inn; and of the following

CHIN G' S WORM-DESTROYING LO-
ZENGES have for Fifty Years held a distinguished reputa-
tion, and are still and increasingly patronised by the highest names
in rank, respectability, and science, from a personal knowledge of
their utility In their own families.
It is a fact established by the annual Bills of Mortality, that one
half of the children horn are cut off before attaining Seven years of
age, and the fruitful source of this mortality Is found to exist in that
foul state of the Stomach and Bowels which produoes the generation
of Worms.

The symptoms usually are loss of appetite, a paleness of colour of
the face, emaciated and irregular state of the bowels, attended with
violent pain. They bring on convulsions ; they affect the growth of
the body; and they prove fatal by ending in a consumption or decay.
As the certain restorer of infantine health, in this critical state,
" Ching's Worm-Destroying Lozenges" have leng been known and
esteemed : mild and safe in their operation, suited to every stage of
this period of life, and infallible in their effect, their excellence can be
gratefully testified to by many fond and anxious mothers who have
successfully bad recourse to them.
_ _

As an Opening Medicine in spring and summer, for Adults as well
as for Children, and for foulness of the Stomach and Bowels, and
Convulsions, although 'Worms may not exist, it is allowed to be supe-
rior to every other.

CHING'S WORM-DESTROYING LOZENGES are peenllerly
adapted and recommended for Exportation to the EAST are t WEST
INDIES, And warm climates generally, as their virtue remains un-
impaired by time.

Society was held on the 10th of April last, when a highly satisfac-
tory REPORT was laid before the Proprietors and Policy Holders,
and unanimously adopted.
The Public will see the advantage of selecting, in so important a
matter as Life Assurance, a well-established office, which, from its
continued prosperity, and its large additions to policies, offers the
greatest inducement to Assurers, combined with the undoubted se-
curity of a numerous and wealthy proprietary.

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE
ALBERT has of late taken great interest in the
breeding of the Llama, from which a very fine 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,
and in its appearance there is nothing very singular beyond a very
gentlemanly neatness and an absence of all unsightly vulgarity.
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 Sun, April 30. "Amongst the registration of
designs, according to the new Act, that of a coat is to be found. The
notions of securing the particular substance and cut of a coat is cer-
tainly a new one, but it speaks well for 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 Tines, April 4. Registered
Paletot, two guineas. _ _

114, itegota-street, London, four doors north of Quadrant.

GOVERNMENT PROTECTION, under 6 and
7 Vic., cap. 65, for three years, obtained by X. 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 the convenience and comfort of
the wrapper of tweed and its moderate price, without its inelegant and
universally admitted common appearance.

•
The material is of a peculiar softness, made expressly of the finest
Llama wool, and in its fashion is neither trop neglige ni trop habille,
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 in our warmest summer months, or
abroad, where heat Is found oppressive. H. J. and D. Nicoll, sensi-
tive is 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,
gained by matured skill and honoured by royal patronage, is of some
standing. This they can do with safety; as their new introduction,
they respectiblly submit, will not compromise that characteristic of
an English gentleman, the unassumed neatness of his attire. As a
wide extended sale is sought, the very moderate price of Two Guineas
is fixed. Respectable firms will alone be treated 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
are kept ready in the extensive warerooms, 114, Beratit-street, tVar
doors north of qttadrout,

CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS.
DEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully
stood the tests six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use,
they have been adopted by the official authorities of the Houses of
Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office,
Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other
Club-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many
other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of
gas have passed through some of these meters without regula-
tion 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 front
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.

Testimonials from the most eminent and scientific men and large
consumers can be had on application (or will be forwarded by post),
free of expense, at the Manufactory, 67, St. Martin's-lane, London.

QILVER 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 the 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 kis metal is from all others—on its intrinsic merit alone he
wishes it to be tested, and from the daily increasing enlogiums he re-
ceives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an
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
Folgate, will contain, throughout the season, all the most elegant
echerche and new patterns, comprising Or-molu, China, Glass, and
Opal,

Old Oil Lamps fitted with the Paragon Head for 21s. And the
Paragon Apparatus applied to the Vesta for 6s. The Spirit analysed
and recommended by Dr. 17re, is delivered in screw cans by C.
Watson's carts, at 4s. per gallon.

„rIIJIME WORKS WONDERS.”
11 'Tis said that " Time works Wonders"—that is true ;
The fact is seen in ev'rything we view.
Where'er we look, above, beneath, around,
Some most surprising " wonder" may be found.
Look at those vessels which, in triumph, ride
In opposition both to wind and tide.
Look at those carriages whose secret force
Needs not the efforts of the noble horse ;
These, with a thousand other " wonders," say
That " Time is working wonders" ev'ry day.
Another " wonder" brought about by Time
Claims special mention in this humble rhyme.
MOSES and SON'S huge warehouse is display'd—
A mighty " wonder" in the sphere of trade.
Was there a house, a few short years ago,
Like MOSES' celebrated Dress Mart? No.
But " Time works wonders" in the works of art,
And hence that noble " wonder"—MOSES' Mart.
The hand of Time will still work "wonders"—Yes,
" Wonders" will still be brought about in dress.
Ind all will own, while thus each day discloses
That " Time works wonders" at the house of MOSES.!
The New Work, entitled " The Monarch Mart,"

tions for self-measurement, may now be had on application, or for-
post-free. with

DEATH OF MR. STRICKLAND, THE ACTOR.—We
regret to state that this excellent performer died on Sunday
evening, about eleven, after an illness of about a week. He
has left a widow, but no children. Thus has been cut off in
the. prime of life (his age was only 43) one of the few re•
mauling ornaments of the British stage. Strickland was the
legitimate successor of Dowton and Fawcett, and his loss at
the present moment will be felt most severely. There is no
actor on the boards who can at all supply his place. It is now
about ten years since Strickland first came to town. He
made his first appearance before a London audience at the
Strand Theatre during the management of Hammond. He
was soon afterwards engaged by Braham for the St. James's,
and when that theatre closed his services were secured by
Mr. Webster for the Haymarket, where he has remained ever
since, and where we had hoped for years to come to have en-
joyed the delight which we always derived from witnessing
his artistical efforts. But " Alas, poor Yorick." An attack
of inflammation of the lungs, which defied the utmost efforts
of medical skill, has, in one short week, removed him from
the stage of life, and his friends are left to regret his loss,
which they feel to be irreparable.
SINGULAR OCCURRENCB.—During the thunder
storm on Saturday last a remarkable circumstance occurred to two
sisters, daughters of a professional gentleman of this city. One of
them was at a house in Bristol when the lightning entered the
drawing-room in which she was sitting, and struck her on the
head, causing a lump to rise upon it almost instantaneously, de-
priving her of the sight of the left eye for a considerable tine, and
drawing the mouth aside, as if she bad been attacked by paralysis.
We are happy to learn, that with the exception of a degree of
numbness on the left side, she has recovered from the effects of
the injury. Her sister was at a friend's house, about five miles
from this city, and at nearly the same period at which the above
occurrence took place, the lightning entered the room in which
she and the family were at dinner, the paper was torn from the
walls, part of the skirting.boards also torn away, and a gun which
was in the room (happily charged with powder only) exploded;
but most providentially none of the partl sustained any personal
injury.—. Bristol Journal.
