The proposed line is intended to form a connecting line between
the Great Western and the Birmingham Railways, and the most
central part of London, and thus to obviate the serious inconvenience
arising from the great distance of their respective termini from the
City. It will also meet the expressed wish of the Board of Trade in
favour of a central terminus.

To accomplish this desirable object, the line will commence at the
south-west corner of the new Farringdon-street, passing in a north-
westerly direction to Battle-bridge, and from thence it will proceed
almost in a straight line to. the luggage station of the Birmingham
Railway, at Camden-town.
The houses in and about Saffron-hill, and also on the greater part
of the line, are small, and of such a description that their removal
will gri,Utly benefit the neighbOurhood; by improving its salubrity,
and increasing the value of the surrounding property.
The Provisional Committee have satisfied themselves, by careful
surveys, that no engineering difficulties will present themselves in
the construction of this railway, and it may be reasonably expected
to yield a fair profit to the subscribers, as it Is calculated that, by
fares from passengers alone, a return of more than 71. per cent. upon
the capital will be realised, without including what will be received
for ground rents, vault rents, the carriage of goods and cattle, and
also irrespective of the increased traffic which may reasonably be
anticipated from the lines already formed, or contemplated, to the
north and north-east of London, and of which the terminus of this
Company will eventually become the common centre.
No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his subscription,
and power will be taken in the Act of Incorporation to allow 41. per
cent. interest on deposits and calls, from the period of obtaining the
Act until the completion of the line.
Applications for shares, in the form required by the Registration
Act, as annexed, can be made, addressed to the Company's Solici-
tor, John Castle Gant, Esq., 37, Nicholas-lane, London; to Messrs.

SECRETART, PRO TEM.—Thomas Dyke, Esq.

A principal feature in this undertaking is the erection at the Old,
or Aust, Passage, of a fixed bridge across the estuary of the Severn,
adapted as well for railway traffic as for ordinary carriage and pe-
destrian intercourse. By the construction of this bridge, and the in-
tended line of railway in connexion with it, two great objects
will be attained ; first, there will be established, by means of
a junction at Hereford with the proposed lines north of that city, a
direct, unbroken line of railway communication between Bristol and
Liverpool, with a saving in distance of about forty-two miles over
the present route ; and, secondly, there will be opened a free com-
munication between the southern and western portions of England,
on the one hand, and Monmouthshire and South Wales on the other.
These important districts have hitherto been practically severed,
and only rendered accessible to each other by a most inconvenient
ferry, dependent on tides and weather. The want of a fixed bridge
over the Severn, at the point above-mentioned, has long been
severely felt, and it would be impossible, whether in reference to na-
tional or local interests, to over estimate the importance of a scheme
designed to supply this want. It has not, however, been from a
consideration of its impracticability that such a work has not long
since been accomplished. In the year 1825 Mr. Telford, the late ce-
lebrated engineer, was consulted upon the subject, and gave a most
decided opinion in favour of it, particularly adverting (amongst other
causes affording facility) to the great height of the banks at the Old
Passage, to the fact of the bed of the river consisting wholly of solid
rock, and to the circumstance that suitable materials for the work
could be procured within a reasonable distance.
The engineers of the present proposed work, as well as other en-
gineers of eminence, are equally confident of the thorough practica-
bility of the undertaking.
Until recent times, and before the period had arrived when railway
traffic and profits had reached their present astonishing extent, the
expense of this bridge compared with the probable traffic returns,
naturally retarded Its projection ; but now, when works equally
difficult and expensive, such as tunnels and viaducts, are readily con-
structed by railway companies for the mere traffic of their line, and
sometimes only to avoid a comparatively trifling deviation, it will be
. _

at once admitted, that with a view merely to the formation of a
direct line between Bristol and Liverpool (without looking to col-
lateral or ultra-terminal advantages), the magnitude of the under-
taking is na longer to be regarded as an impediment to its com-
pletion.

The recent decision of the Admiralty against the proposed bridge
at the Hock Crib, leaves the Aust Passage the only practicable point
for a fixed bridge.

Arrangement; have been concluded with his Grace the Duke of
Beaufort, and the other proprietors of the Aust Ferry, whereby the
purchase of that important interest has been secured to this Com-
pany.

The line, which will be about forty-eight miles in length, will
commence at Bristol, and proceed to the Aust Passage, there cross-
ing the proposed bridge to Beachley, it will run northward
along the valleys of the Wye and Monnow by Chepstow-, and Mon-
mouth to Hereford, which city will form the northern terminus of the
line. At Hereford the direct chain of communication to Liverpool
will be completed by the lines now projected between those places.
It is obvious that this route will furnish to the west and south-west
of England the best and most direct means of communication not
only with Liverpool and 'the north of England, but with Dublin and
the north of Ireland.

To Bristol itself the value of the project cznnot be over-estimated.
It will secure to that ancient city the continuance of its long-enjoyed
position, as the emporium of commerce in the west.
It is proposed to connect the line with the forest of Dean, by which
means the vast mineral resources of that district will be developed to
an extent hitherto unattained.
Many other advantages will at once suggest themselves to those
acquainted with the locality of the proposed railway ; amongst others
it may be mentioned, that the route will embrace Tintern Abbey,
and the other celebrated scenery of the Wye, which, notwithstanding
the difficulty and expense of reaching them by the old means of tran-
sit, annually attract a great number of visitors. The engineering
capabilities of the line have been ascertained to be excellent. In-
vestigations on the subject of the traffic have been made, which fully
justify the conclusion that the undertaking will prove a very pro-
fitable investment of capital, as well as a great national and local con-
venience.

On the formation of the Bristol and south Wales Junction Rail-
way Company, in April last, the Directors requested their engineers
to survey the country on the Monmouthshire side of the Severn,
with a view to ascertain the most eligible line for a railway to Dion-
mouth, as that town and district would not be conveniently connected
with Bristol by any of the railways then projected. Various circum-
stances delayed the Engineer's report, and during the interval a
scheme, of a more extensive character, has been brought forward—
via., one for a railway from Bristol to Hereford, with a fixed
bridge across the river Severn, at the Aust Passage.
After the most full deliberation, the Directors consider that the
announcement of this project ought not to alter the course they
had intended to pursue, of providing the public with a mode of tra-
velling from Bristol to Monmouth suited to the resources of the coun-
try, and to the surmountable difficulties incident to a large navigable
river. • They can see no. reason to expect that the Lords of the Admi-
ralty (whose sanction the recent Land Clauses Consolidation Act has
rendered necessary when a railway is to be carried over a tidal
river), will look on a bridge across the estuary of the Severn, where
it is nearly a mile and a half in width, with greater favour than they
have lately shown with regard to one where the same river is only
six hundred yards wide, and is not navigated by large vessels ; and
fhorn long experience in railway business, the Directors are convinced
that no adequate revenue for an outlay of two millions upon forty-
eight miles of country, possessing no peculiar resources, can justly
be anticipated.
They have carefully examined into all possible sources of traffic ;
and though they are of opinion that a gross income might be pro-
duced, of about two thousand pounds per mile, per annum, which
would yield a fair return on the cost of a railway connecting Chep-
stow and Monmouth, as a link in the general railway scheme for
that district, they believe that no person acquainted with railway
statistics can justly anticipate an additional net revenue of Five per
Cent, upon one million pounds, the smallest sum at which the
bridge can be estimated.
It should be recollected that many years must elapse before such
a stupendous work across a rapid navigable river of such depth
and width, and with the greatest rise of tide known in the world,
could be completed, even if subscribed capital for such a purpose
could be relied upon, and also that ere long the distance between
Bristol and the north, and north west of England will be so much
lessened by the lines of railway now before Parliament and the
public, that sixteen miles will be the utmost saving in travelling from
Bristol to Liverpool via Monmouth, while to Manchester, the rail-
ways via Gloucester must still afford the most direct communication.
Whenever two routes of equal facilities are oren to the public, the
proprietors of either 'ought not to anticipate more than half the
travelling, and therefore the Directors believe that any 'expectation
of monopolising the long traffic between Bristol and Liverpool, or
the adjacent districts, is fallacious.. For these reasons the project for
a bridge across the Severn, and for the 48 miles of railway, to be con-
nected with it (requiring a gross revenue of 150,0001. per ann mrnt
pay the necessary expenses, only five per cent. upon the nese
estimate of two million pounds), can never be regarded favourably
in a financial view by any parties who inquire into the average re-
ceipts per mile resulting from railway or bridge traffic.
The Directors have felt it necessary to make these observations on
the undertaking referred to as an explanation why they rtill pro-
ceed with their own plans precisely as they would have done had
such a scheme never been announced

This line of railway will forin the continuation of that from Paris,
Creil, and St. Quentin, to the Belgian frontier, and when completed
will join the Charleroi and Erquilinnes Railway.

In offering this undertaking 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 Erquilinnes (the
French frontier), and consequently this line from St. Quentin to
• Maubenge twill give A direct communication by railway from the
Seine to the Rhine—from Paris to Boulogne.
These facts are sufficient of themselves to establish the importance
of the St. Quentin and Maubeuge line, which has been carefully sur-
veyed, and offering no engineering difficulty will be promptly exe-
cuted.

Prospectuses will be ready for distribution on Thursday, the 12th
instant ; meantime applications for Shares can be addressed to

They have the great satisfaction to state, that the Bristol and
South Wales Junction Railway, together with the improvements at
the New Passage Ferry, and the proposed extension line to Mon-
mouth, will be constructed under the superintendence of Mr. Brunel,
and they are confident that through his skill and experience the in-
conveniences of a ferry will be modified far beyond public expectation.
When the Severn is reached by the Railway from Bristol and
crossed at the New Passage, the traveller will be in the direct route to
Newport, Cardiff, and South Wales on the one side, and on the other
to Chepstow and Monmouth, from which latter town various lines
are about to be constructed to Hereford, Shrewsbury, North Wales,
Chester, Liverpool, &c.

The Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway was promoted to
maintain the very ancient connexion between Bristol and the Prin-
cipality, and the proposed extension of it to Monmouth will have a
similar tendency in reference to the towns of Chepstow and Mon-
mouth, and the districts in which they are situated.
The Directors therefore belleim that it will receive the strong sup-
port both of the Shareholders in the Bristol and South Wales Junc-
tion Railway, as a protection of :heir interests, and of the inhabitant
of South Wales and Monmouthshire, as a certain and early means of
securing railway communication with Bristol and the districts to be
reached by the various railways connected with that city,
It has been considered more judicious to form a separate Company
for the extension line. to Monmouth than to alter the Bristol and
South Wales Junction Railway Company at present, but powers are
proposed to be taken for uniting the two Companies hereafter with
the assent of their respective Proprietors. It is also intended to pay
interest on the calls at 4 per cent.

The Shareholders in the Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway
Company will be considered entitled to shares in this Company, and
therefore such of them as may be applicants are requested to state
the number of Shares they already hold'in the former.

The local support the Great County Down Railway has been
guaranteed, and the favour it has been already received with in
England, induce the promoters to perfect the comprehensiveness of
their project, by taking means to extend their line directly through
BANBRIDGE, the seat .f the linen manufacture, by way of
MOIRA, where it will fall in on the Ulster line, and thus secure the
important market of BELFAST on the north, while to Banbridge
will also be opened the port of WARRENPOINT, by way of

SECRETARY—MarCUS Lewis Hill, ESQ.
The object of this line is to connect the important ports of Galway,
Belfast, and Newry, and to transect the midland counties of Ireland,
and which will be materially facilitated by the Ulster Extension and
Newry and Enniskillen lines, which have just passed the Committee
of the House of Commons.
Commencing at Galway the line will pass through or near the fol-
lowing important places :—Tuam, Castleblakeney, Mount Talbot,
Athleague, Ilescommon, Lanesborough, Longford, Newton Forbes,
Elphin, Carrick-on-Shannon, Belturbet, and Clones, 'where it will
form a junction with the Newry and Enniskillen Railway, thus form-
ing a direct communication between the ports of Galway, Belfast,:and
Newry. It will at the same time afford, in connexion with other
lines, accommodation to the counties of Limerick, Clare, Galway,
Mayo, Roscommon, Longford, Leitrim, Fermanagh, Cavan, Monag-
han, Londonderry, Antrim, Armagh, and Down, and passing by or
near to the Arigna iron mines, and the great coal and limestone fields
in Connaught, it will essentially promote the agricultural and com-
mercial interests of those places.

It will also complete an important chain of railway communica-
tion between the port of Galway in the west (one of the most capa-
cious in the United Kingdom, and which must, ere long, become a
packet station for steamers to and from America, &c,), and the ports
of Belfasf and Newry on the north-east? where there are constantly
steam-packets proceeding to Glasgow and the ports on the western
coast of Scotland, and which will be brought into cheap and rapid
communication with each other.
. .

It is to be observed that whilst almost every other line of railway
hitherto projected diverges from Dublin, no line is as yet proposed
which intersects the inland counties. By crossing, as it will, other
main lines, it will be a feeder to them, and it will, in return, receive
from them a considerable amount of traffic in passengers and naer-
thandize.

A preliminary survey of the district is being made; the line will
pass, for nearly the entire length through the table land of Ireland,
so that the gradients are particularly favourable ; there will, more-
over, be no tunnelling, nor any engineering work of difficulty. From
the estimates which have been made, it is confidently expected that
a return of 10 per cent. on the capital will be realised. The act of
incorporation will limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount
of shares which they may take.
Applications for Shares to be addressed to the Committee, at the
Company's Offices, 65, Moorgate-street, London, or to the under-
mentioned Brokers :—Mr. Anthony Lawrie, Liverpool; Mr. May,
Liverpool ; Messrs. Brady and Staniforth, Manor-street, Mull ; Mr.
S. Grindrod, Manchester; Messrs. Cardwell and Co., Manchester ;
Messrs. Watson and Co., Leeds; Messrs. E. King and Co., Leeds;

Messrs. Curtis and Power, Dame-street. Dublin ; Messrs. Bruce and:
Symes, Dublin; and Robert Charles Forster, Cork; of whom Pro-
spectuses may be had.
FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.
To the Directors of the Galway and Belfast Junction Railway.
Gentlemen—l request that you will allot me Shares, of 501.
each, in the proposed Galway and Belfast Junction Railway Corn
pany ; and I undertake to pay the deposits and sign the necessary
Deeds.

one-half of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 21. per cent. per
annum, on the Sum Insured to all Policies of the Participating Class
from the time they were effected.
The Bonus added to Policies from March, 1534, to December 31,
1840, is as follows:
Sum Time Sum added! Sum Time Sum Added
Assured. Assured. to Policy. Assured. Assured, to Policy.

So various are the plans now before the public for the Assurance of
Life, that it may seem difficult to make choice between them. As,
however, all prudent offices make a considerably higher charge in the
annual premium than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary,
but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the fol-
lowing classification may be made :

Ist. Proprietary Offices, whe:e all the surplus from premiums and
other profits is divided, exclusively, amongst the Share or Stockholders.
2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions be.
tween Share and Stockholders and the Assured.

3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole of the
profit is equitably distributed amongst the Assured only.
The METROPOLITAN, which is of the last class, was established
in 1835, and although ne paid agents for town or country have at any
time been employed, nor any expensive system of advertising
resorted to, yet its advantages have been so well appreciated by the
public, that the annual premiums already exceed 56,000/.
In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's affairs, the
Annual Premiums of Members of Five Years' standing have been re-
duced Forty-two and a-Half per cent.

A plan of the Society, with Tables of Rates, may be obtained, on
application, at the Office.

THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their Deed
of Constitution not to dispute any policy unless they can prove that
it was obtained by fraud, and for this purpose the Company have, by
a clause in their Deed of Constitution, unhesitatingly deprived them-
selves of the power of objecting to any policy unless they undertake to
prove that it wasobtained from them by fraudulent misrepresentation.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who give to the assured on the
Mutual principle the whole of the mutual accumulations, and also
guarantee the sums assured.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay
the full amount of the policies, although the debts for which they
were effected shall have been liquidated before the claim arise.

TMS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in favour
of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured al-
though the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe.
BY THE HALF PREMIUM PLAN ONLY one-half of the fish
seven years' premium is required, the other half being payable at the
convenience of the assured, thus allowing a policy to be continued
for seven years, at one-half of the usual rate, or to be dropped a
one-half of the usual sacrifice.

Prospectuses and schedules are forwarded free of expense.

SILVER 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>fetals, 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:—

Fiddle. Threaded. King's.
Table Spoons and Forks, 16s. 6d. doz. 30s. 355.
Desert Ditto
Tea Spoons.. •....
Sugar Tongs
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 eulogiums he re-
ceives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an
article of universal wear.

T HE D
T PPROOF OF THE EFFICACY AND INNOCENCE OF
MORISON'S PILLS.
To Messrs. Mcrison and Moat, London.
Eynsford, near Dartford, Rent, April 9, 1845.
Gentlemen,—A case whi. h shows the good effects of the medicine
is in a child of my daughter's, only six weeks old, with an inflamma-
tion on the chest. She gave it a pill or two without much effect.
It got worse. She then gave it three pills of No. 2, which removed
the disease. In all she gave it fourteen pills in five days. It is now
well, and grows nicely.
Yours respectfully,

ANN lIILDER.
People of England I—Compare1—Compare the above safe TT
—Ygelan mode of
cur with the opium and prussic acid treatment of doctors I Where
would this child have been under such treatment ? Most probably
in its grave, and the confiding parents would have believed that she
had been properly treated. the British College of Health are every
day releiving similar prof from all parts of the kingdom.
N.B. No chemist or druggist is allowed to sell Morison's Pills.

—C. Watson's handsomely Illustrated Catalogue and Price Currant
Is just published, and Families who regard economy and elegance
should possess themselves of this useful Book, which may be had
Gratis, and Post Free, from the above Address.
PATENT PARAGON CAMPIIINE 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 Gs. The Spirit analysed
and recommended by Dr. Ure, is delivered in screw cans by C.
Watson's carts, at 4s. per gallon.

CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS.
n EFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully
JL/ stood the testo 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
Clnb-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 from
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.
