This Railway will establish a most desirable line of communication
between London, Dover, Salisbury, Yeovil, and the West of England,
traversing in its coarse many wealthy, populous, and important
districts.
It will commence at the Reigate-station on the Dover and Brighton
Railways, and pass by Dorking and Guildford to Basingstoke. From
thence it will proceed by Whitchurch, Andover, and Salisbury, to
Yeovil. By whichmeane the connexion between the East and West
Ceaste of England will be complete.
A further and most important feature of the undertaking is, that
by using the line of the South Western Railway from London to
Basing-stoke, It will bring Salisbury and Yeovil into an entirely direct
line of communication with the Metropolis. The distance from
London to Salisbury will be about 80 miles, and to Yeovil 120 miles.
It will also unite four of the principal Railways in the kingdom ;
viz., the Doves, Brighton, South-Western, and Great Western, and at
the same time will most materially aid communication between the
porta of Dover, Shoreham, Portsmouth, Southampton and Bristol, a
most desirable object in a national point of view.
A reference to the accompanying map will manifestly prove that
Pew Railways in the kingdom will form a medium of communication
with a greater aggregate of wealthy, populous, and important places.
By it, Salisbury, Sherborne, Yeovil, Bath and Bristol, Braellbrd.
Trowbridge, Frome, Guildford, Farnham, Basingstoke, Whitchureh,
Andover, Weyhill with its extensive fair, Shaftesbury, Milborne Port,
Stalbridge, and Ilcheeter, with the numerous smaller towns and villages
in their vicinity, will be brought into immediate eonnexlon with each
ether, rendering the undertaking eminently ealculated to promote the
convenience of the public, and certain to yield a large return to its
proprietors.
The eountry to be traversed will, as has been ascertained fl'om ac-
tual surveys, admit of the construction of the Railway at a moderate
east. The portions yet to be Dermed will comprise the eountry be-
tween Reigate and Salisbury, about 76 miles (less about 11 miles
proposed to be used of the South Western Railway), and that between
Salisbury and Yeovil about 40 miles, }making the entire length of the
line yet to be constructed no more than 101 miles.
Applieation to be made for Shares to the Provisional Committee;
or to Lewis Crombie, Esq., Secretary, at the Company's Offices 63,
Ifoorgate-street, London ; or to the undermentioned Brokers :—Mr.
Anthem/ Laurie, Liverpool; Mr. Isaae Miller, Liverpool ; Mr.

The Provisional Committee of the Paris and Lyons Railway Com-
pany having ascertained that it is the intention of the French Govern-
ment tolease the line to a company able and willing to reimburse the
State for all expenditure hitherto incurred, and to undertake all fur-
ther outlay which may be required for the entire construction of the
line, have determined upon increasing the capital to the full amount
necessary for this rarpose. In conformity with the terms of sub-
scription contained in the circular of the 10th August last, which con-
templated such a contingency, they have resolved upon offering
to the Shareholders Two Nee( Shares for every Old Share, sub-
ject to all the liabilities of increase or diminution hereafter, as in the
former case, and subject also to any further call which may be found
necessary. All Shareholders who may wish to avail themselves of
this option aro requested to apply at the office, and to produce the
original receipts, between Tuesday, 11th, and Saturday, 22d inst.
Notice is hereby given, that all parties not applying within the pre-
scribed time will be considered to have waived their claim to the ad-
ditional shares, which will be otherwise appropriated.

"Their equal Is unknown—their superior will neYer come."

A pure white flame—they snuff themselves—are hard as alabaster
—pure as wax—glossy as glass—and cheap as sommon tallow can-
dles, is their true character. Composite eandles, German wax, Mar•
garine wax, Botanic wax, and all such iaferisr eandles must be
thrown aside, bearing no comparison to Royal Wax Candies. Their
great success has already created imitators. CLARK and CO. do
rot supply the trade, therefore all who purchase elsewhere cannot
hare the Royal Candles. No arsenic is used—inquiry is challenged.
Royal Wax Candles of all sizes required. Only ls. per lb.

genuine and superior class Teas and Coffees, at an unprecedented
"tallness of profit.
In consequence of the enormous quantity et spurious trash now
imported under the name ;of Tea, there never was a period when
the public required, with a view to both Health and Economy, to be
more careful in the selection of this important article, and more upon
their guard against advertisers at extremely low prices.
From their long experience in all branches of the Tea and Coffee
trade, the extensiveness of their transactions, and the arrangements
they have made for securing the choicest growths of Teas and
Coffees the world produces, the Company feel confiderrt that nothing
is wanting, but a trial of their pretensions, to ensure them that
patronage it will be their constant aim and highest ambition to
merit.
The Company invite attention to their EXPLANATORY
PAMPHLET, containing a Dal description of all the various sorts
of Teas and Coffees imported, and sold by the Company, with prices,

dear Colonel Williams, whose equal is scarcely to be
found in this world. At nine miles from Erzroom
Colonel Williams came himself to meet me. I was
in such a distressed state, that I was taken at once to
a Turkish bath cold was supplied with fresh clothing,
and I was obliged to use mercury five days before I
could get rid of the troublesome parasites, and was
then so debilitated that I could not stand upon my
legs. Thanks be to God for his loving kindness, in
sending me such friends as Colonel 'Williams and Mr.
and Mrs. Redhouse, who have taken such tender
care of me that I am now able to record to my friends
in England the kindness of those excellent friends.
Mr. Brant, the Consul, also comes every other day
to see me, and Dr. Dixon is exceedingly kind. God
be praised ! But there is not such a man in the
British army as Colonel 'Williams!
It was my intention to have brought with me to
England Moolah Mehdee, the kind Jew of Meshed,
but Colonel Williams and Colonel Farrant persuaded
me to send him back to Meshed.

Yours affectionately,
JOSEPH WOLFF.

Note by Captain Grover.—Mr. Burchardt, best known
as Sheikh Ibrahim, traversed the Desert from the Iloritm
to Cairo. On arriving at the English Consul's, where
he was hospitably received, he requested to be allowed
inirnedip.tely_ta--change his clothes. —Having made a
bundle of the clothes he had worn, he said to the ser-
vant, " My good ;fellow, quick; take away that bundle,
for, if you de not" (alluding to the vermin), "it will
walk away."

OVERLAND MAIL.

INDIA AND CHINA.

The intelligence received by the present mail is to the lei
of February from Bombay, Madras the 24th of January
Calcutta the 23d of the saute month, and China the 19th 01
December.

The news altogether is satisfactory. In the interior of
India, tranquillity prevails with the exception of a skirmish-
ing warfare between the British and the chiefs of Kolapore,
Sawunt Warree, and the Northern Concan. Several collisions
had taken place, in one of which, in the month of January,
the following officer" were killed :—Captain Taynton, of the
Bth Madras Native Infantry, and Lieutenant Campbell and
Ensign Faure, of the 2d Bombay European—and seven others
wounded. There are four corps of British troops employed
in this service under General Delamotte ; Lieutenant-Colonel
Williams, Madras army ; Lieutenant-Colonel Carruthers, of
her Majesty's 2d Regiment ; and Colonel Outram. The
fighting is reduced almost to single shots in the jungles, for
the rebels refuse to show themselves in large bodies in any
place where they can be attacked. Colonel Outram was en-
gaged in scouring the country. The accounts in general
represent this as a very paltry and contemptible warfare.
The accounts from Sinde are very favourable on the whole,
though we regret to learn that sickness still prevailed to a
great extent in the 78th Regiment. It had at last
been removed from Sukkur to Hyderabad, but in a
very feeble state. The rest of the troops were healthy.
The whole of the country is ;perfectly tranquil and satisfied
with British rule. Some of the neighbouring tribes, how-
ever, infest the frontiers, and Sir Charles Napier had left
Kurrachee to chastise them. He had published a manifesto
in reference to the disturbances, which will be found below.
After leaving Kurrachee Sir Charles proceeded by Hydera-
bad to Larkhana and Sukkur, leaving the troops behind him
at Larkhana, to avoid the pestilential air of the Indus. He
remained some ten days at Sukkur, until the approach of
the Bengal 2d European Regiment and Bundelkund Legion
to relieve the troops about to be detached. The artillery
having been dispatched before him, he proceeded on the
13th to Shikarpore, and was followed by 1,600 ca-
valry, regular and irregular, and 2,400 infantry,
under the command of Mrkjor-General Hunter, who WAS
directed to make his head-quarters at Kunghur, on the
further side of the desert. The object is to chastise the
Deomkie, Jakranee, and Boogtie tribes, to which belong the
robber bands which have infested our frontier throughout the
hot season. The results of the expedition are looked to with
interest. The Delhi papers, and others, give particulars of
the revolution which had taken place at Lahore, but they
possess little interest. A. boy had been placed on the throne,
to be deposed or murdered as soon as some chief, who can
command the services of a mercenary army, marches
against him. In fact the army completely controls
the • Government, and sets up whatever idol for
the moment pleases its fancy. Accounts from Delhi
state that Sir Henry Harding. was expected in the north-
west provinces in May. The British troops along the line o
the Punjaub were kept in constant activity by drilling and
reviews, and preparations are evidently in progress to watch,
and perhaps control, events in a country so intimately con-
nected with the British possessions in India. Railway
schemes were in operation both at Calcutta and Bombay, and

it is extremely probable that in a short time some of them
will be carried into effect. Sir Henry Hardinge remained at
Calcutta, where Sir Robert Sale, with Lady Sale, had arrived
by the Hindostan. The accounts from Hong-Kong, which
are to the 19th of December, are favourable. The Chinese
inhabitants had become accustomed to the new Government,
and were peaceably engaged in their usual labours.

The troubles of the Kolapore and Sawunt Warree country, and the
formidable robberies In the Northern Concan, esintinue almost un.
abated, in defiance of the efforts of an army of 12,000 mon,
scatters in detachments above and below the ghauts. Various
forts and ♦illages have been taken—detachments have been parted
from each other, united, and parted again; yet subordination can
scarcely be maintained beyond gunshot from our pickets. Colonel
Outram has obtained command of a light irregular detachment,
and is scouring the jungle in all directions, attacking forts, and
taking possession of them when evacuated by the enemy. The
roads, nevertheless, continue blocked up, and general intercourse
interrupted. Three officers in the course of the month have fallen

bell, and Ensign Faure, 2d European L. I.; seven others have been
wounded—Lieutenants Tyacke, Thompson, Munbee, Gardiner,
and Peyton, and Captains Kelso mid Jacob. Colonel
Ovens has retired from the Sattara residency, and is
now in Bombay. Mr. Reeves has been restored to the
Political charge of the southern Mahratta country. General Napier,
with a force of nearly five thousand men, has started with an expe-
dition across the desert, from Shikarpore, to chastise the Doonikie
robbers, who, for the past ten months, have infested our frontier.
The country generally continues quiet. The temperature at pre.
sent is moderate and agreeable. Large supplies of pontoons and
eat-bottomed boats have recently been forwarded from Bombay for
service on the Indus. A fresh revolution has occurred at Lahore.
Heera Singh the vuzeer, his chief adviser Pundit Jella, with two
other sirdars of note, have been slain. Property to the amount of
40,0001., chiefly in gold and silver, was found in the house of the
deceased minister, and was confiscated and made over to the public
treasury. The entire power Is in the hands of the troops, who
pull down and set up governments at pleasure. The latest of the
governments was working tranquilly and with effect, and it is now
universally admitted that nothing short of the violation of sour Pron.
tier—an incident not likely to oecur—will induce the Governor.,
General to interfere. The troubles in Kashmere seem on the in.
crease. There is little news of interest from beyond the passes.
Affghanlstan appears as tranquil, and its chiefs as authoritative, as
during the most peaceful portion of its history.
The Runnymede and Briton transports, the one from Australia
and the other from England, with troops for Calcutta, have made
their appearance after having for a long while been missing. They
were believed to have gone down at sea, but turned out to have
been wrecked side by side on the Andaman Islands, in the flay of
Bengal—no lives lost.

We have intelligence (rem China to the 16th December ; it is
of comparatively little interest.

With the exceptions mentioned above, India generally is tran-

extensive robberies in his camp—an awkward commentary en his
brother's assertions as to the security of property and respect for
British officers in Sinde. Captain Malcolm, of the Sinde horse,
was plundered to the extent of between 200 and 300 rupees.
Captain Jameson, commanding the camel baggage corps, had his
books, sword, and clothes carried away just as be undressed him-
self. The Sinde horse lost their treasure-chest, containing about
2,000 rupees, though under a guard of their own troops. The
Khan of Khetat having been requested to assist us in punishing the
robbers who had infested our outposts, came dow.i from his moun-
tain capital with 2,000 men, but found himself unable to effect
anythirg of importance, and having suffered several re-
verses, found himself compelled to retreat. A vakeel was
sent out to urge an interview between him and the General,
but this he peremptorily declined; Captain Brown, Sir C.
Napier's private secretary, was next deputed, but with
equal want of success, to obtain in writing the reasons of
the aversion of his Highness to meet the General ; and to con.
coct measures for the coercion or punishment of the Iteebooters.
The deputy was on his return very nearly made prisoner ; 300 of
the enemy's cavalry having made a dash over about eighty miles of
country, in the hope of seizing him. Instructions had meanwhile
been obtained from the Governor-General to have the frontier
tranquillised; the 2d Bengal Europeans and Bundelkund Legion
were close at hand ; the former arriving on the 14th, the latter on
the 16th, so as to release from garrison duty a considerable body of
troops. Sir C. Napier having, while at Sukkur, visited Meer Ali
Moorad and made all fitting arrangements, set off on the 13th for
Shikarpore, the guns and battering train having preceded him. He
was followed on the 15th by General Hunter ; the total force or-
dered on the expedition amounting to 2,440 infantry, 1,600
cavalry, with horse artillery, mortars, howitzers, mountain train,
and camel corps, amounting in all to probably net much under
5,000 men. They were directed to push right across the desert.
General Hunter. in command of the infantry, was for a time to
take up his head.quarters at Khangur, forty miles from Sinker-
pore. The whole were then to force their way Into the Boogtie
mountains, and to attack the robber tribes In their fastnesses—fast-
nesses to us rendered memorable by the events at Deyrah, Kahun,
Nufoosk, and Surtoe, in 1840. We have no direct intelligence from
the expedition, but observe it stated that Captain Jacob had sur-
prised one part of the enemy, capturing sixty prisoners, and cutting
up the rest. Captain Slater Is said to have intercepted another
on their return to the mountains with :a drove of 6,000 cattle col.
lected in the plains. The robbers were dispersed and the plunder
recovered. Sir Charles himself is reported to have reached Deyrah,
the scene of hiajor Billamore's adventures just before the occupation
of Kahuh; and that his nephew, Captain Napier, had had a narrow
escape of becoming prisoner. We shall wait with much anxiety
the results of this very wild and ill-considered looking expedition.
The condition of the frontier demanding it is exactly what we two
years since anticipated. We may exterminate some hundreds of
the robbers, but abundance will escape to annoy us ; and it will not
be within the present or the five next generations that the caterans
of the Halls and Suliman mountains will be weaned from the prac-
tices which have existed amongst them for twenty centuries before,
tempted by the rich booty a British camp supplies, and exasperated
by injuries inflicted on their kinsmen by the swords of the stranger.
Amongst the ferocious mountaineers robbery is a trade. the practice
of murder matter of business, and revenge In its strictest sense a
virtue. Before crossing the frontier the Governor of Sinde issued
a manifesto explanatory of his designs. In this he taunts the
Khan of Khelat with his inability to keep:his subjects in order ; the
paper blaming the Sovereign being addressed to the subjects, the
robber tribes about to be coerced, owning allegiance to no one saving
their own chief, paying no tribute, and permitting no interference
with their affairs.

We lay before our readers an important document. It is an au.
thentic translation of the manifesto or proclamation issued by Ge.
neral Sir C. Napier on his proceeding with the expedition into the
country of the Doemkies, the Jakranees, and the Boogties, kc-,
for the purpose of putting a stop to their predatory incursions into
the Sinde territory.
