Now publishing,
A NEW Edition, being the sixth, of CALMET'S DIC-
TIONARY of the HOLY BIBLE, with the FRAG-
MENTS of the late CHARLES TAYLOR.
This Work, which forms Five Volumes Quarto, will now be
published in Parts, containing at least Ten eets of Letter-
press, and five Copperplate Engravings Maps, worked on
Tinted Paper, price ss. One, and occas. nally two Parts, will
he published on the Ist of each Mon , until completed. The
whole to be comprised in Forty Parts.
On the first appearance of a work like the one now again
offered to the public, it would have been impossible to prognos-
ticate, with any certainty, its success, or confidently to affirm
that it would prove itself universally aceeptible, and become, in
a manner, indispensable to th,- student. of Divinity. Very many
excellences, and some of the rarest kind, must concur in such a
work, to adapt it to general utility—to stamp upon it a perma-
nent value, and to secure it from the danger of being quickly
superseded by similar productions. To reach this high point of
success it must not merely comprise all those various and com-
mon elements which mere industry, with a sound judgment and
extensive erudition, may readily collect and digest; hut it must
be vivified throughout by that originality and spirit—that fire
and force with which it is the prerogative of a few minds to
animate their productions. And how few, even of those who
are thus peculiarly gifted, possess at the same time, and in an
eminent degree, the faculty of acquisition, and those habits of
patient industry, without which profound and exact learning is
neither to be acquired, nor usefully employed.
That the Editor of CALMET, and the Author of the FRAG-
MENTS, who thus rarely and variously gifted, needs not now to
be affirmed; since this praise has been long and generally
awarded to him, and indeed has been rendered indisputable, by
the mere fact of the unexampled circulation of the extensive
work which embodies his talents and acquirements.
During the period that has elapsed since the first appearance
of Mr. Taylor's edition of CALMET, many works of a similar
kind, and some of them of great excellence—excellence that
must severely have tried the merits of any competitor, have been
given to the world, and have gained their share of public favour.
Nevertheless, the appearance and diffusion of none of them has
for a moment slackened the sale of this. CALMET'S DIC-
TIONARY has, in fact, held on its way without disturbance,
during a long course of years; and the principal occupation of
the Author, in the latter portion of his life, was the revision of
the ucceasive editions it passed through ; and since his decease,
it has been twice reprinted (excicusively of the condensed edi-
tion, in one volume,octavo, of which more than4o)o copies have
been sold) and it is still in constant demand by the public.
The statement of these facts is felt tope an act of justice to the
memory of the Author, who himself, with a singular indifference
to literary fame, abstained, to the last, from personally claiming
the high reputation he had won. The Proprietor of the Work
believes also that such a statement is at once more becoming on
his part, and is likely to be more satisfactory to the public, than
any recommendation of it which he might attempt. While
speaking of what is due to the memory of the Editor and Author
of the Fragments, he has to announce that to the forthcoming
edition will be prefixed a brief Memoir of his Life and Literary
con rse.

PROSPECTUS.

AT a time when the Capital of the country has been so libe.
rally applied, through the medium of -Joint Stock Com-
panies, in promoting objects of great public interest and national
ut►lity, it is singular that no such meamre has yet been adopted
for supplying, under more favourable circumstances than at,
present exist, an article of such general and important use as
Coal.

The vastly increased consumption which of late years has
taken place in large towns lying. out of the Coal districts, and
more especially in the Metropolis, renders it an object of the
first importance that these places should have the advantage of
being► steadily supplied not only with a sufficient quantity, but
that also of the best quality, and under the most favourable cir-
cumstances.

It is a well ascertained fact that many of the Coal Mines in
Northumberland, upon which the public have been hitherto
mainly dependent, are now nearly exhausted, at least so far as
regards their capability of supplying the better description of
Coals, and it, therefore, heroines important that consumers
should not be reduced to the necessity of deriving their supply
from that or any other quarter where inferior Coal is only to be
had, when ample resources are in existence for providing an
efficient supply with greater advantage.
In the Southern Division of the county of Durham in parti-
cular, .extensive fields of Coal of the very best description are
found to exist, which as yet have been but partially worked;
but it has now been determined to conduct several of these upon
a system of more extended operation, and this determination is
likely to be much aided by the recently established and newly
projected lines of Railway, which will facilitate the communica.
tion between these Collieries and the present Shipping Ports of
the Tees.

In order to secure the full effect of these advantages, and on
der the conviction that they will be best secured by a comb in a
tion of energy and the employment of capital on an extended
scale, it has been determined to establish " The Durham County
Coal Company."
That several of the Collieries now in the hands of private
individuals are realising very large annual profits on the in-
vested capital is beyond question, and when the immensely
increased and increasing consumption of Coal not only in Lon-
don but in the various other parts of this country which are
dependent for their supply upon the Collieries in the North,
and also thegrowing demand in Continental Ports, are consi-
dered, there appears no reason to doubt that these liberal profits
will continue to be maintained.
A sufficient number of Shares having already been subscribed
far, the Provisional Committee of the Company have purchased
several valuable and extensive Collieries, which are now in suc-
cessful operation, and the produce of which maintain a first-rate
character in the London market. They have also purchased
two other Collieries now in progress of completion, which in the
course of a few months will be capable of producing for ship-
ulna a large quantity of the best Wall's End Coals.
The Directors have concluded all the necessary preliminaries
for the formation of the Company and for actively working the
Collieries.

For the present it is the intention of the Directors to confine
the operations of the Company to the county of Durham, as
containing the most valuable description of Coal, and the vend-
ing of which will produce the greatest return of profit to the
Shareholders.-

The Property will be held by Trustees fur the Company, and
all requisite arrangements made for the security of the Share-
holders.

The Collieries will he under the superintendence of a ',llan-
ager, Engineer, and Viewer, all of high character and experi-
ence.

The first Instalment of £5 per Share is payable immediately
on allotment. The remaining payments will not be called for
earlier than at intervals of three months, and each payment will
not exceed £5 per Share.
Applications for the remaining Shares to be made to the
Solicitors of the Company; to the Secretary, at the Company's
Office, 32, Great Winchester-street, London ; or to Mr. C(;G-
LAN or Mr. TINLEY, Share Brokers, Liverpool, of whom Pro-
spectuses may be had, and further particulars may he obtained.
No Applications for Shares will be received after SATURDAY,
June 18.

TIVIE object of this Company is to make a Railway. from
the Ulster Railway at Armagh to Dublin, unconnected
with any of the parties promoting the Railways from Drogheda
to Dublin, and now opposing each other in Parliament, (one
of them advocating a coast, and the other an inland line) and
to avoid either, a Line lengthened by several miles along the
Coast, or an Inland Line, prolonged by attempting to connect
small towns, both of which would neccessarily be attended
with considerable increased expense, the fixed and determined
principle being to have a communication by the shortest, most
level, and least expensive Line between Dublin and Belfast
by Armagh, and that the different Towns on each side of the
Line should, if it be considered expedient, establish Branch
Railways.
To attain,these objects it is proposed, that the Line should
commence ht the northern extremity of the City of Dublin,
cross the Royal Canal, proceed thence in a northern direction
towards the village of Ratoath, west of Duleek, and cross the
River Boyne, about five miles westward of the town of Drog-
heda thence westward of Collon to Ardee, thence westward
of Newtown Hamilton, straight to the City of Armagh, and
there join the Belfast and Armagh Railway.
An Act having already passed for the Belfast and Armagh
Railway, Surveyors are now engaged in taking the Levels and
making the Surveys, Maps, Sections, and Estimates necessary,
in order to obtain an Act for the Armagh and Dublin Under-
taking in the next Session. To defray these,expenses, the De-
Fosits will be applied, as far as may be necessary, under the
direction of the Provisional Committee.

The Committee, as they deem expedient, or when called
upon by holders of 1,0(X) Shares shall, from time to time, call
General Meetings of the Shareholders. But, so soon as the
number of Shares for each Applicant shall have been allocated,
a General Meeting of the Shareholders must be called, and
permanent Directors, Committee, Auditors, Secretary, Trea-
'surer, &C., appointed. General Meetings to be called by_ ad-
vertisements in the public papers; giving at least Ten Days'
notice. Shareholders resident at a distance greater than ten
miles from Armagh may vote by proxy; one vote to be allowed
for each five Shares, but no one Shareholder to have more than
20 votes, though possessing more than 100 Shares.
Communications have been had with the great Landed Pro-
prietors, and others along the Line; and the undertaking has
been so well received, as to give every reason to expect, nut
only assent, but co-operation and support.
The proposed Line will complete the communication from
the Metropolis of Ireland by Belfast, to Scotland and the
North of England, and will obviously be the course of con-
veyance for his Majesty's Mails, as well as for Passengers and
Goods.
Applications for Shales to he made, in Belfast, at the Ulster
Railway Office, Fountain-street; in Armagh, to the Secretary,
or any of the Provisional Committee; in Dublin, at the Offices
of the Solicitors, and at Messrs. Boy La., Low, PIN:, and Co's.;
in London, to H. and J. JotiNsToN and Co. ; in Manchester.
to Tilos. CsnowiLi.t.; in Glasgow, to .1. MARTIN and J. and
