THE 'public is most respectfully informed that Messrs. NICOLL have received permission, according to the specification in the Act 6 and 7 Viet., cap 65, to alter and otherwise adapt the coat, known as the REGISTERED PALETOT, to be suitable for winter wear, and it is now being made of a thicker ma terial, viz., of milled Llama cloth; it is waterproofed by the new method, which, it is well known, does not unnecessarily confine the heat of the body, but the material, when thus operated upon, remains as porous as other that has not undergone this process, the effect being that it does not sop, aid will turn a stout shower of rain, but not that of 24 hours' duration. Nleoll's Registered Paletot for winter wear is a garment that is warm without being heavy, which, even for travelling, the necessity of wrapping up In a cumber some manner, has of late years been found needless, distances being so much shortened by present railway and other conveyances. Nicoll's Registered Paletot, used alone as a morning frock coat, not over another, is found to be a most agreeable garment for walking exercise ; and from the skilful way it is formed, it does not confine the chest or shoulders, but has an equally neat and gentlemanly appearance when worn in cold wet weather, or in the evening over a morning or dress coat. The price is three guineas, that for summer wear being two. It may be ob served that those principles are retained that has obtained for the Registered Paletot the patronage of more than ono of the Crowned Heads of Europe. The I'rince Consort, Prince George of Cambridge, the chief members of the Court, prin cipal families in the kingdom, who it is well known are distinguished in their taste for perfect neatness of dress. The Regis tered Paletot having therefore necessarily excluded anything vulgar or outré in appearance, would alone recommend itself to the notice of the respectable members of the middle classes, was it not further as sisted by its moderate price, being for ready money. It may be ob tained of the principal tailors of the chief provincial cities ; but as only most of the respectable firms are appointed agents, any attempt on the part of others will thus by the public be at once detected, and such attempts, when known, will be visited by the penalties provided in the Act beforementioned ; and in furtherance of which a reward of fifty pounds will be paid f6r information that may lead to the conviction of such parties by H. J. and G. Nicoll, 114, Regent street, London. MIDLAND RAILWAY. CONTRACT FOR WORKS.

Derby, 2&1 Sept., 1845. r HE OXFORD AND SALISBURY DIRECT RAILWAY, via ABINGDON, `VANTAGE, HUNGERFORD, and LIIDGERSHALL. (Proyislonally registered.) Capital 1,200,000/., in 48,000 Shares of 251. each. Deposit 21. 15s. per Share. PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT. The importance of connecting remote parts of D.gland by Rail ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns and districts, can scarcely be be'ter exemplified than by the Line which is how proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines now before the public will make Oxford at the north, and Salisbury at the south of the intended Railroad the central points from which various radii will diverge to the northwest, north, and north-cast of the former, and to the east, south, ant west of the latter; and the proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the cotirse of Railway from the north-castorn parts of the island, requires the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to the western and south-western counties. The Oxford and t , alisbury Direct Railway, in addition to the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at large, by Preferring a direct line of communtcation be tween the north-eastern and western and south-western Parts of England, will afford to the borough of Abingdon, the market towns of Wantage, Hungerford, and Ludgershall, and the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they arc seated stand in much need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the kingdom. The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of Abingdon. Their means and opportunities of competing with the more fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di rect channels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same remark applies in some degree to the market town of Wantage, which, as well as Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced ley railway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commence the proposedli ne at Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail road to London. By continuing the projected railway to Wantage, the same facility of transit to London will be afforded to that place ; and a perfect line of road from the north-eastern counties will, by a junc tion with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, through the towns which have been named, llungenord and Ludgers - hall to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis tricts. A map of the line, and a statistical report of the whole country intended to be traversed, is in'course of preparation, and with the names of an influential provisional Committee, will very shortly be Published. In the meantime, further information may be ob tained from Messrs. Elinslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-strect, London, solicitors to the undertaking, to whom, at present, applica tic)* for sham may be made.

It is, therefore, next to Impossible to calculate the immense traffic which would pour down this line and the Derbyshire, Stafford shire, ad Worcestershire Junction Railway. The calculations which have been made show a very large profit. There arc large lead and slate quarries on the line which only want an outlet like the one now contemplated to bring them into full work. The coal is of a superior quality. There are also extensive barytes and paint-works at Ashbourne, Cromford, and other places on the line. The scenery of Derbyshire is the resort of vast numbers of tourists ; and particular care will be taken, in passing of the line near Dovedale, not to interfere with or change its beautiful and romantic character. The convenience, therefore, which this line will afford must necessarily cause a great influx of passengers, both on business and pleasure. Ironstone is not so abundant in the South as in North Staffordshire, and vast quantities are sent by the tardy, circuitous, and expensive canal company, which this and other Hues of railway meeting at Uttoxeter will remedy. The gypsum formation runs from Staffordshire to the Humber, and th eem pu a r n p d os fo e r s a t l l o fi n s g a t rt hi i s cl l e in f e o i r vil b l u b il e di g n r g e , a a t g . ricultural, and manulbe turingThe timber from the neighbourhood of the Needwood Forest, Banks, Bagots Woods, and Kingston Woods, upwards of 4,000 acres, chiefly finds its Way , to the Manchester market by a like objectionable route of tardy and circuitous canal convey- Ore whereas this line would open a direct, easy, and cheap Otirninunication to new markets. The line has been viewed prior to A detailed-survey, and there ars not more than ordinary engineering dilliCulties. In consequence of the late Parliamentary decisions, it is intended to make this line on the broad gauge principle, but the pro moters do not pledge themselves absolutely to do so.

The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway is a direct line from London to Manchester, coming from London to Rugby, along the London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby to Hinck ley through Market-Bosworth and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to Derby, thence to Ashbourne, by Leek to Macclesfield, and along the Mac clesfield and Stockport, and Stockport and Manchester Railways, into Manchester. A branch to Buxton is in contemplation. The principle of this railway is to obtain a direct through line be tween some of the most important districts in the kingdom with the least possible amount of new railway, and, consequently, the smallest expenditure of capital. It will also establish the shortest direct communication between Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns on the North Midland Railway and London. The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway, will open a direct communication between Manchester and Derby, and will consider ably shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham and Manchester and Leicester. The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi cation from that town to London, which has been so long considered desirable by the inhabitants. The same will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester field branch of the North 31Idland Railway is made. The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, in connexion with the Oxford and Rugby, and Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Rail way, forms a direct Manchester and Southampton line. THE GREAT ADVANTAGES Of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, err the other pro jects into Manchester, among oth.rs, are— First. That there are only seventy-five miles of railway to be made in place of one hundred and eighty-nine. -.. _ _ _ Second. That it is a more direct line from London to Manchester than even the proposed direct lines. Third. That it interferes with no existing railway property or vested interests. Fourth. That it passes through a District rich in manufactures, agriculture, and minerals, but which—more especially as regards its agricultural produce, and a convenient system of intercommunica tion for the conveyance of that agricultural produce, to supply the large manufacturing towns in the vicinity—has been hitherto left to tally without railway communication. Fifth. That it passes through the towns in its route, instead of avoiding them. Sixth. That the whole line of railway from Rugby to Manchester will be completed and in working order within ten mouths from the passing of the Act of Parliament. Seventh: That the maps, plans, estimates, 'and other documents required by the standing orders of Parliament will be lodged with the parish clerks, the clerks of the peace for the counties, and the Parliamentary offices, on the 10th of November next, being twerity days within the time required by the regulations of Parliament. In the allotment of shares a preference will be given, to the ex tent of 10,000 shares, to the holders of stock in the London and Bir mingham Railway ; also, of 2,000 shares to the shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Railway Company; of 1,000 shares to the Oxford and Rugby Railway Company ; and 2,000 shares to the Manchester and Birmingham Railway Company.

This line of railway, whic h is about sixty-five miles in len g th, i s intended to commence Bolton, John, Thomas, Eq., Dudley Esq., Wolverhampton at Uttoxeter (the terminus of the proposed Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway) and to proceed to Sheffield and Huddersfield. It will form a direct com munication between two of the most import tnt manufacturing and mining districts in England, viz., South Staffordshire, Huddersfield, and .Sheffield, and Rotherham in Yorkshire ; the South Staffordshire portion including Hadley, Tipton,Walsall, Bilston, Weduesbury, and Wolverhampton. This line will also open a direct railway communication between Leeds, Huddersfield, and the West Riding of Yorkshire and Kidder minster, Worcestershire, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Taunton, and Exeter, and with Ludlow, Leominster, Hereford, Brecon, Car diff, Neath, Swansea, Llanelly, Caermarthen, Milford Haven, Fish guard, Aberystwith, and with Port Dy n nllaen, the future outport for Ireland. And also the most direct communication betweca Ueda and Southampton. The line will pass nearly alo n g the Uttoxeter an d Caldon Canal to a point near Pr e stwood, in case the canal be purchased by the pro moters of this undertaking. I t will p roceed th rough Ellaston and Ilfayflcid to join the Huddersfield and Leeds Railwa y , and s o to Thirsk.

Arrangements have been made with other companies to run into this line from Sheffield. This company reserves the right to raise additional capital to extend the line to Leeds. Many of the above-mentioned mineral productions are essential to the mining districts of South Staffordshire and Sheffield. The North Staffordshire and Derbyshire Limestone is much superior to that of South Staffordshire in the fluxion of iron (15 cwt. of the former being equal to a ton of the latter), an d producing a better quality of ma terial. At present, the mode of transit is very circuitous and expen sive, the line from the Caldon Mines having to go by canal round by Etruria, Leek, and the Potteries, to the Dudley and surrounding furnaces, when, by this railway, it would be taken in a straight line to them ; and the Ashbourne, Cromtbrd, Workaworth, and Bakewell country would have an entirely new trade opened to them. The iron stone in the neighbourhood of Sheffield is also becoming very scarce, and greatquantities arc Introduced from Scotland; the same scarcity exists in South Staffordshire ; and the route of this line would fur nish a cheap and good supply, at present not worked, and without a market, both north and south. In addition to these great advan tages, a good local market would be opened along the agricultural and other Iwo of the district 111 present very Waxy Napped With LEEDS, HUDDERSFIELD, SHEFFIELD, and SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE, or LEEDS, WOLVER HAMPTON, end DUDLEY DIRECT RAILWAY.

This Company is formed for the purpose of carrying into effect an agreement which has been concluded with the Monmouthshire Canal .Company for the purchase and transfer of the whole of the imiortant Interest of tbat extensive and valuable property. The Monmouthshire Canal Company was first incorporated by an Act passed, in the year 1793. Two subsequent Acts have extended the sphere of the Company's operations, and their present tram roads communicating with molt of the great iron and coal works of the district exceeds fifty miles in length, , whilst the - extent of their two branches of canal is twenty-two miles. During the last f.irty-n --ye Years the concern has continued to be - one of a highly profitable description, the average annual dividend paid to the shareholders having been during the whole of that period at the rate of 71. 12s. per cent., and during the last twenty-five years the average annual dividend has exceeded 101. per cent., being 101. per share on the original 1001. shares. The value of these shares has of course increased with the im proved dividends, and the purchase-money now agreed to be paid for the whole of the canal property is at the rate of 2001. per share. The purchase will secure to the Monmouthshire Railway Com pany the whole of the present profitable trade of the Canal Company, with the certainty of a very great increase therein, as the consequence of the intended application of the modern principle of railway loco motive power to the present tram-roads of the Canal Company. Thus, beyond its prospective advantages, this undertaking is distin guished frem most of the numerous projects now before the public, in this—that an immediate return will arise to the shareholders from the present works ef the Canal Company now in full operation. For a long time past large sums have been annually expended by the Canal Company in solid improvements of their property. The last projected improvement is the formation of a line of railway upon the modern construction from Newport to Pontypool, a distance of ten miles, and to carry out this object an Act of the Legislature passed during the last session, and which railway forms a part of the highly valuable purchase mode by this Company. Although by the Newport and Pontypool Railway Act a reduction has been made in the amount of tonnage hitherto payable to the Canal Company, this will not lessen the actual value of the property, for it is undeniable that much of the natural traffic of the Company has been diverted into other channels solely in consequence of the high standard of the rates of tonnage. The recent Act confers on the Company the power which they did not previously poems, of becoming carriers on their lines, and it is oily reasonable to calcu late that by the judicious use of thin power and the vigorous peNe ention of the improvements of the existing tram-roads the traffic se alienated will be recovered, as well as much now traffic created. Thus, whilst the value of the canal property will be materially en hanced, the freighters will at the same time reap all the advantages designed for them in the recent Parlifunentary revision of the tomiages. It 1; further proper to state that the branch lines intended to have been made and purchased by the Canal Company to the iron, coal, and other works, will also be formed, thereby securing a consider able increase of trade upon the main lines. Owing mainly to the obstacles in the way of cheap and quick transit, the endless resources of Monmouthshire have as yet been but very partially developed ; but, in the face of there obstacles, the quantity of iron now annually exported from Newport is not less than 200,000 tons, and of coal 700,000 tons. The port of Newport possesses an extensive trade in the exporta tion of tin plate and fire-brick, in the importation of iron ores from Cornwall, Lancashire, and Cumberland, and of the agricultural pro duce from the western counties of England, together with a cons'der able and improving trade in foreign and English timber, bark, and Irish provisioas. Shares to the amount of 20,0007. in the Newport Dock form part of tke purchase of the canal interest. These extensive docks have been constructed in the best possible manner, with a lock capable of admitting vessels of the largest class. In proof of this it may be stated that vessels of 1,030 tons registered tonnage have with ease entered and been loaded in the dock. The Canal Company have not hitherto afforded any accommoda tion whatever to passenger traffic, consequently no revenue has been derived from this usually fertile source of profit, but reference need or,ly be made to the dense resident population engaged in the iron, tin, and coal works 'of Monmouthshire to prove that a very great passenger traffic would be the result of the introduction into these districts of the modern railway facilities. . . . The general extension of railway communication contemplated in the neighbouring districts of Wales and England, will, in connexion with the lines of this Company, most advantageously open to Mon mouthshire uninterrupted intercourse with all other portions of the kingdom. Thus, whilst facilities hitherto unknown wiil he created for the exportation of the mineral wealth of the locality, the freest admission will be given to the agricultural produce an•d manufac tures of other parts of the kingdom, for both of which a constant de mand exists in the mineral dist:dote. In the allotment of shzres, preference will be given to Proprietors in the Monmouthshire Cana , to Sharel.olders in the Newport, Aber gavenny, and Hereford Railway, aid to landowners on the line.

This line will diverge from the line of the Great Eastern and Western Railway, near Worcester, and proceeding by Brcm yard, will end at Leominster, at which point it will unite with the proposed lines connecting Hereford and Shrewsbury with North Wales. The communication by railway between these important towns and the continuous hop and cider districts has been entirely left unprovided for by existing arrangements, and this line is brought forward under the auspices of the Great Eastern and Western Railway Company, on the strong representations and request of a large and most influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh bourhood. The object proposed is to make a direct communication between Leominster, Bromyard, and Worcester, which latter town has always been the natural market for the produce of these districts, and to af ford the inhabitants the most direct communication with London, as compared with other lines, by upwards of 30 miles. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the act is ob tained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 41. per cent. on all calls from the time of, their respective payments, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscrip tions.

Thomas Pliillpotts Jun. . _ .It is proposed thal the course of this line shall be from the Wor cester station of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Rail way to a point near Malvern, where the line will be divided into two branches • the one branch proceeding through or near the parish of Rostburyfrom whence thero.wlli be a branch to Ledlmry) to Here ford, where it will run into the station of the Great Western Com pany's Monmouth and Hereford Railway, and the projected Hereford and Shrewsbury Railway. The other branch will proceed from the point of division near Mal vern straight to Gloucester, and will join the Gloucester and Dean Forest Railway near that city. This line will pass rather more than half a mile below Great Mal vern, and not far distant from the town of ITpton-on-Severn, both of which places are at present entirely shut out from the benefits of rail way communication. The country has already been inspected, under the direction of the engineer, and it is found that there are no engineering difficulties of a serious character to be overcome ; and indeed the greater portion of the line presents a course extremely favourable for a railway, the gradients being very easy. Near the point of division at Malvern the Hereford line will cross a portion of the Malvern range by one or more tunnels; but the whole length of the tunnelling wili.not much exceed one mile. From the other side of Malvern to Hereford the surface ofthe country is as favourable as could be desired. The Gloucester line, from the point of division to its terminus, will pass through a country peculiarly favourable, the surface being throughout nearly one continuous level. With regard to the immediate local advantages offered by the proposed railway, it will effect the most direct communicatiou be tween the cities of Worcester and Hereford, and Gloucester and Worcester, and between those cities:lnd the delightful watering place and favonrite summer residence of Great Malvern, to which it will rilso give an easy and expeditious access from other popolous but mare remote districts. . The important market town of Ledbury, with the rich corn, fruit, and hop district around it, will also be brought into closer and more profitable connexion with the three cities ; and it cannot fail to make a considerable addition to the traffic between Worcester and the Port of Gloucester. The facilities presented by the proposed railway for increasing and developing traffic in a more general and national point of view, are of a very extended character. Joining the Forest of Dean and Mon mouth Railways, it will afford a ready means of transit to South Wales, and by its junction with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton line, and with the projected line to Port Dynnlaen, it will give railway communication with the manufacturing and mining oistricts of the north of England—especially of South Staffordshire and Worcestershire, and also with North Wales and Ireland; and by means of the Great Western Railway, which it joins at Gloucester, it will complete au unbroken broad g auge line from Wolverhampton to Exeter in the one direction, and from Pembroke to Wolverhampton in the other. It will effect a considerable saving in distance between „, the port port of Gloucester and Wolverhampton, and all parts of the north ; it will he the nearest possible route from the extreme west of Eng land, and from South Wales, to all places north of Wolverhampton. The enumeration of the places and districts to be traversed by the proposed line, and a description of its course, sufficiently indicate that it may fairly be expected to command a remunerating amount of traffic. It will supply to the port of Gloucester important amr7bulky articles of expert, drawn from the mining and manufacturing district of South Staffordshire and Worcestershire ; and will still further deve lop the resources of those districts by increased facility of communi cation with their natural port. The importance of this branch of the traffic can scarcely be over-estimated : in one portion of the district between Wolverhampton and Stourbridge, there arc about 100 blast furnaces In work, producing nearly 500,000 tons of pig iron annually, and It is admitted that the want of railway facili ties have hitherto greatly hindered the development of an important export trade from this district. The works at Droitwich and Stoke Prior can furnish any quantity of salt. The carpet manufactories :of Kidderminster, the iron and glass works at Stourbridge, Dudley, and their populous neighbourhood, will also supply an important amount of traffic,-eertainly far beyond that now carried on with the present insufficient means of transit between those places and the district to be affected by the proposed line. The Hereford branch of the line offers to the agriculturists of the . counties of . Hereford, Radnor, and Brecon the advantages of cheap and ready means of access to their principal markets. It will be an Important advantage to them to have their cattle, corn, hops, fruit, wool, and other produce, speedily and cheaply conveyed to the great markets of Worcester and Birmingham, and the towns in the centre of the great manufacturing population of Staffordshire and Worces tershire ; the advantages, too, will be mutual, as the line will afford equal facilities for the conveyance of the miners and manufacturing produce, of the north to the rural districts. The population of the districts affected by the proposed line, ree kolling Prom Wolverhampton to Gloucester on the one hand, and from the same place to Hereford on the other , is not less than 400,000; and from the position of the country traversed, the line must be fed by all the railways constructed, or to be formed, on either side. There can, therefore, be no reasonable doubt of the Worcester, Hereford, and Gloucester line commanding a traffic so consideratole as to yield an ample remuneration for the requisite capital.
