The Southern Junction Railway is intended to form a communica-
tion between the Great Western Railway at Slough, and the South-
Eastern at Reigate.
It will afford the most easy access through the medium of the
Great Western Railway to the inhabitants of Reading, Maidenhead,
Windsor, Staines, Kingston, Epsom, and the principal intermediate
towns, to Dover, Brighton, Hastings, and the other watering-places
on the coast of Kent and Sussex.
Ireland, Wales, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, and the mane•
factoring districts in the West of England will thus obtain a more
direct, leas tedious and expensive communication with the Continent
than by the way of London.
The length of line as proposed will be twenty-seven miles ; and,
after a careful examination, no engineering difficulty presents itself,
as it runs for more than half the distance on a level, and traverses a
country that must he greatly benefited by this project.
The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary
plans and sections in ample time for complying with the standing
orders, and enabling them to apply for an Act in the muting
session.

The shortness of the line, and the quantity of passenger and mer-
cantile traffic that the line will command, leaves no doubt of an
ample return for the investment of capital.
Applications for prospectuses and plans may be made, and forms
of applications for shares had at the offices of Messrs. Potter and
Collingridge, solicitors, 5, Basinghall-street ; of the Local Agents;
and of the following gentlemen :
London—Messrs. Peppercome, 2, Old Broad-street

[ADVERTISEMENT.]-A CERTAIN CURE FOR SCRO-
FULA OR KING'S EVIL, BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINT-
ME NT. —A FRIGHTFUL CASE.— A young man named Bowman,
a shoemaker, living in James-street, Manchester, had been
afflicted from childhood with the most malignant kind of
scrofulous ulcers, covering various parts of his body ; besides
other sufferings, they had deprived him of the use of his left
leg; yet, extraordinary to relate, this poor fellow has not only
had all the ulcers soundly healed, but has likewise regained the
complete use of his limbs by means of these two wonderful
medicines. Sold at Professor Holloway's Establishment,
241, Strand (where advice may be had gratis), and by a.most
all respectable venders of medicine throughout the civilised
world.

BRECHIN.—A rather novel piece of fraud has just
been detected in the fair partner of an individual in this
place, who has for some time past been in the practice of
disposing of her butter, along with many others, weekly, to
the Brechin Grocery Association—the quantities purchased
from the different individuals being all deposited in one place,
and served out to their numerous customers as necessity
required. On finding for some weeks that a portion of their
stock was neatly made of single pounds, which, when cut,
was found to be nothing but a large quantity of water, the
salesmen determined to discover the delinquent. Having
adopted the necessary steps, by depositing separately the
quantities bought from the different parties, and tried each,
the usual quantity of water gushed out from that portion
sent by the lady above-mentioned. The case is presently in
good hands : we shall notice the result.—Aberdeen Herald.
