There are some distinguishing features in this projected railway
calculated to give it a decided preference over foreign railways
generally.
Ist. The preliminary concession for ninety years, under very fa-
vourable terms, has been already obtained from the Belgian Govern-
ment, so that there is no risk of present or future competition, or
necessity for agreeing to disadvantageous terms in order to obtain
such concession. As, according to the law of England, a certain
amount must be deposited before a railway Bill be read in Parlia-
ment, so a deposit must be paid into the public treasury of Belgium,
to be afterwards appropriate to the construction of the line, which
deposit completes the agreement already entered into.
2. This railway is the second that has been offered to private en-
terprise, as distinguished from the State system of railways. hitherto
prevalent in Belgium. It embraces a line of country inferior to none
in Europe. As elements of profit the traffic and transit will be vary
great, the line running through the richest, most fertile, and most po-
pulous part of Belgium, abounding in minerals, coal, iron, lead, zinc,
&c., with quarries of building stone and marble : and connecting it-
self with the railways of the State, and also with the great line from
Calais to Cologne, and, by an intended branch from Mons to Manage
(for which the preliminary concession has also been obtained), uniting
itself with another great line between Brussels and Paris, which con-
nects the capitals of two kingdoms.
3d. Its length from Namur to Liege is 48% English miles, and the
line from Mons to Manage, comprehended in the convention with the
Minister, 22 miles, making a total of 65% miles of railway. The line
nom Namur to Liege, in addition to the Belgian Government survey
undertaken by M. Magis, has been subjected to the inspection of Mr.
Rennie, and the estimate applied to this line carefully checked by

him.
4th. On the banks of the river and on the line of this railway there
are already twenty-two smelting furnaces, two foundries, three roll-
ing mills, twenty-three forges, several zinc and copper works, glass-
houses, saw-mills for wood and marble, paper-mills, potteries, and
fire-brick manufactories. What these may be when the railway is
in operation may be gathered from the evidence adduced before Par-
liament in England, that the average effect of railways has been to
quadruple the transit and traffic previously existing. The increase
in Belgium has hitherto more than doubled this ratio, which must be
further increased by the opening of the German markets, through the
operation of the Zollverein.
sth. The responsibility of Shareholders is limited by the Belgian
law to 3- 10ths of the amount of the value of the shares.
Applications for prospectuses and shares (see form) may be made
to Joseph Cary, Esq., at the offices of the Company, 52, Moorgate-
street.

Report of George Rennie, Esq., C.E., F.R.S., above referred to.
To the Chairman and Committee of the proposed Railway from Namur

to Lie re.
Gentiemen,—Agreeably to your request I proceeded to Belgium in
the earl part of the present month, and on the sth and 6th instant,
in company with Monsieur Magis, the engineer of the Government,
and by whom the plans and other documents were prepared, having
made a minute examination of the whole line of country through
which the railway passes, and compared the plans and sections of
the same, and having also investigated the various calculations rela-
tive to the cost of constructing the railway, and compared them
with similar documents relative to the existing railways of the
State, I am of opinion that the proposed line of railway is laid out
with judgment and accuracy, and every way worthy of the repu-
tation of Monsieur Magis ; that it is very easy of execution, that it
presents no difficulties of cutting and embankments, or works of art,
that the inclinations scarcely exceed the inclinations of the river
Meuse, to which it runs parallel, and that it is one of the easiest and
best lines in Belgium. The works can be executed for the estimate.
And, finally, that as a commercial line it is situate in the most
fertile and richest district in the kingdom, particularly in minerals,
with which it abounds, and that as a main trunk line from the east
to the west part of the kingdom it combines great local and great
political advantages, inasmuch as it unites the mineral and manu-
facturing districts with the passenger traffic from Calais to Paris,
Calais to Cologne, Calais to Dijou and Lyons, and to the countries g
eastward of Liege, and it: only, requires the junction of the ?
Manage and Mons Rail mays, likewise comprehended in the con-
cession, to render this one of the most complete railways on the
Continent.
I remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,

WEATHER PREDICTIONS.—All who de-
light in this foreknowledge should purchase, without loss
of time, GRIMSTONE'S WEATHER ALMANACK, whose predic-
tions of the weather, from his publication to the present day, have
been checked by many proprietors of newspapers and other works.
The " Times" has eulogised its correctness and peculiar mode of
printing ; see page 57. The " John Bull," published its usual check,
Dec. 22, 1844, giving it, indeed. 336 correct daily predictions : see
copy, pages 52 and 54. Also, " The Sun," the " Globe," the " Era,"
the " Post," " Herald," " Chronicle," " Satirist," " Punch," and
many others, have nnticed the correctness of this unique w9rk.
Amongst the great variety of matter, is an interesting biography of
his Royal Highness Prince Albert while at the College of Bonn; also
useful Chronology, Royal Family, both Houses of Parliament, Summary
of Population of the British Empire, Population of the chief towns and
cities ; a Calendar, containing Sundays, festivals, anniversaries,
phenomenons, chronological events, moon's age, eclipses, tides, gar-
deners' monthly calendar, a column for the weather of every day;
pages 3 to 25. Stamps, assessed taxes, &c. ; a list of bankers.
Copies .of 31 letters from ladies annd gentlemen of the highest
respectability, cured of ophthalmia, gotta serena, cataract, deafness,
nervous deafness, headache, and spectacles left off, some after using
them upwards of 20 years, by using Grimstone's Eye Snuff—trans-
lations in French, Italian, and Spanish : pages 59, 60, 61, 62, 63.
Read page 54, the Medical Report in the " Forceps," Feb. 14, 1844,
proving the great advantages arising from the constant use of Grim-
stone's Eye Snuff having been the cause of clearing our streets of the
many green eye-shades, and other human disfigurements. It is the
only fashionable snuff of the day sold under the authority of the
Lords of the Treasury and Royal Family. Grimstone's Weather
Almanack is a beautiful pocket size, with a steel engraving repre-
senting a bird's eye view of Oxford-street, &c., bound in Waterloo
blue, with gilt edges.
Sold, at 3d. each, by all the London wholesale publishers and book-
sellers. Wholesale only by the proprietor, W. GRI3ISTONE, foreign
snuff and cigar merchant, 434, Oxford-street, London.

October 9, 1844.
Sir,—For the last three or four years I have been labouring under a
nervous deafness, so much so at times as to be almost incapable of
hearing. After trying several very eminent aurists, from whom I de-
rived scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend
to try your excellent Eye Snuff. I accordingly procured one of your
4s. 4d. canisters, after taking which I found considerable benefit, so
much so that I sent for two more, which having used, I found my
hearing completely restored, and I 'have not been deaf since. I should
mention that the time I commenced taking your Eye Snuff was in
April last, and have continued taking it since.—l am, Sir, your obe-
MIA servant, W H. ADAMS.

delicacies, combining every essential ingredient, and merely requiring
dilution, are becoming daily more and more patronised throughout
all classes of society, entirely superseding those made upon the old
complex principle, by which half the kitchen utensils were called into
requisition, The purity and intrinsic merits of these articles are fully
assured to the public by the unquestionable certificates of those dis-
tinguished chemists Dr. Ure and Professor Herapath, combined with
a galaxy of flattering testimonials from other professional men, gour-
mets, and the public press throughout the country.
