VOORSANGER'S NEWLY-INVENTED ELAS-
TIC HORN PEN HOLDER. The distinguishing
characteristics of the Horn Pen Holder are—it ves Steel
jizgi
Pens a freedom unequalled in the finest Qu' —that it has
no affinity with Steel, consequently corn ion is impos-
sible, and the adhering from rust is pi/vented. It has a
Spring situated close to where the Pe is secured in the
Holder, from which this advantage is derived, that it
causes the Pen to yield and glide over any impediment,
obviating the great objection Steel Pens have from catch-
ing in the turns and up-strokes. Price Fourpence each.

TIIE Committee come before the Public under the con-
viction that the time has arrived when this great
National work will receive general support.
By being connected with the Edinburgh and Glasgow,
and the East Coast English Railways, it will absorb the
greater portion of the Passenger Traffic with England,
and it will reduce the time for the journey between Edin-
burgh and London to sixteen hours.

The Cost of Construction will be moderate, the works
being of easy construction, and the price of material and
labour very low. The object is, to make an efficient Line
at an expense which will insure a handsome return.
The calculations as to Revenue are based on the state-
ments of the Government Commissioners, who reported
on the Line in 1841. Assuming these, the Revenue will
be—

From passengers, at lid. per mile average .....£ 46,791
Anticipated increase, ids 31,194
From goods, at 3d. per ton per mile, cattle, &c. 31,564

Deduct for expense of working, &c.

£109,549
36.516

Free Revenue, or 8 per Cent. on Capital ...... 73,033
Experience has proved the increase of Traffic caused by
Railways to be more than double what is assumed here.
Four per Cent. IntereA will be allowed on Calls, after
the Act is got, from the date of payment till the Line is
opened.

Applications for Shares may be made in Liverpool to

SONS, Stockbrokers, from whom Copies of the Prospectus

PROSPECTUS OF A NEW WATER COMPANY

GLASGOW, from its local situation. possesses more
advantages than any town in the kingdom ,for an
abundant and cheap supply of excellent Water. Having
the river Clyde flowing through it from a district to the
east of greater elevation than the highest part of the City,
the numerous tributaries to that river flowing into it from
heights on either sides of its valley, Loch-Lomond and
its—tributary rivers on the west, the Earn to the south,
arid the numerous other streams in the neighbourhood, of
pure water, which might be collected above the mineral
diatrict, and greatly above the level of the City, the in-
habitants ought to enjoy a most abundant supply, at very
moderate rates.

Notwithstanding these advantages, however, the inha-
bitants have water scantily supplied by the present Water
Company during only a portion of the day, and the heavy
charge of 61 per cent, upon the rental of Glasgow (under
deduction of a tenth) is made for that limited supply.
In place of flowing into the City from an adjoining
height in a constant stream as in the neighbouring towns,
Ayr, Paisley, Greenock, and many others possessing fewer
advantages, Glasgow is supplied with water by steam-
engineq, situated upon the Clyde, about three miles from
the, City, which pump water direct from the river, at a
great expense for fuel, epairs, and wages.

- The promoters of that Company are entitled to the
gratitude of the inhabitants for the benefit they cnnferred
upon the City in establishing their Works in 1806; hut
they contemplated supplying only 8,000 families at that
time, when the inhabitants numbered about 80.000; and
they now levy rates from nearly 50,000 families, which,
for the last year, amounted to £29,718 3s. 2d., while the
inhabitants now amount to 300,000.

The very limited supply of water and its quality have
long pointed out the necessity of establishing an additional
Company ; and the rapid increase of the Town and its
factories, and consequent increase of demand, give fair
promise of success to the proposal now made, for an ad-
ditional Company to supply water to the houses and
manufactories of Glasgow and Suburbs, from the best
source, upon the most improved principles, under the en-
larged experience of Engineers, to yield a constant sup-
ply. at a cheap rate.

It is believed, that a capital of £250,000 would fully
secure those advantages, and that a much more moderate
Water-rate than is at present paid by the inhabitants,
would afford a large return upon the Capital invested.
It is, therefore, proposed, without fixing upon any
source of supply, or selecting any Engineer, in order that
the best may be afterwards secured, that a New Company
shall be established, by Act of Parliament, under the fol-
lowing conditions, which are nosOrespectfully submitted
for the consideration of the public :
1. The Capital shall be £250,000, divided into 10,000
Shares of £25 each.

2. The Interim Committee above named shall allocate
the Shares ; and, in doing so, shall give the preference to
Consumers of Water; and ss. shall be paid on each Share
to the Interim Treasurer when subscribed for.

3d. Whenever two-thirds of the Capital shall have
been subscribed, the Shareholders shall be summoned by
the Interim Committee to elect Directors ; and each
holder of shares, from one to five in number, shall have
one vote, and, for each additional number of five shares,
shall have an additional vote.

4th. The Directors so elected shall select an eminent
Engineer to examine the different sources of supply, and
shall finally determine which is the best for affording an
abundant continuous supply of the purest Water, fit for
table and all domestic and manufacturing purposes.
Lastly. The Directors shall immediately thereafter
take the most efficient measures for completing the un-
dertaking.

KENZIE, Accountants, 128, Ingrqm-street ; M. M. PAT-
TISON, 4. Crescent-ulace ; GEORGE CRAWFURD, Writer,
