The object of this important undertaking is to continue the lice of railway communication from Manchester via the proposed Notting• ham, Erewash Valley, Amber Gate, and Manchester Railway, to Grantham, at which latter place it will unite itself with an extension to the eastern eoast of England, so as to open the nearest and most direct communication between the densely-populated manufacturing districts of Lancashire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Nottinghamshire, and the eastern agricultural and maritime counties. The line will also open a direct communication with the extensive and valuable coal-field and mineral district of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, the intercourse with which has, to a great extent, been shut out for want of the means of an expeditious and cheap transit throughlts 6 qupta.,hkherto unoccupied by a railway communication. tion to the Shareholders, indepenhcfnikt - or - tht - t , .. 3,60 . , ='r°p~~••- flour, corn, malt, and live stock, to the manufacturing and consuming districts, and the merchandise traffic sent from those places, in re torn, to the agricultural parts. A considerable revenue may be anticipated from the ready facility with which the justly celebrated watering places of Matlock, Bakewell, and Buxton, and the ro mantic Peak of Derbyshire, may be approached from the eastern coast. As preliminary arrangements have been entered into to combine the Grantham Canal interest with the projected Railway to be constructed through the same line of country, to vest both concerns in one un dertaking, the advantages of a combined ownership of the Canal and Railway interest, are in many respects so obvious as to render com ment superfluous. The line, having been surveyed, is reported to be free from any engineering difficulties, and the cost of formation will be much below the average cost as compared with the generality of other lines. The line will be about twenty-two miles in length, and save a con siderable distance between Grantham and Manchester. It is intended to commence by a junction with the Nottingham, Erewash Valley, Amber Gate, and Manchester Railway, at Notting ham ;and proceed through the several parishes of Sneinton, Colwick.

AT a MEETING of several SHAREHOLDERS of the CHURNET VALLEY RAILWAY COMPANY, held the 12th day of June, 1845, at the North and South American Coffee House, MATTHEW GAUNT, Esq., of Leek. in the Chair. It being the opinion of this meeting that it is desirable to retain the original line laid down by the Churaet Valley Railway Company, as approved by the Board of Trade, with such modification thereof, by extending the line to Atherstene, or otherarise, as may hereafter appear desirable ; MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND MID LAND JUNCTION . The PROVISIONAL DIRECTORS RAILWAY announce with regret the REJECTION of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junction Railway Bill (as well as the Newark and Sheffield). At present they are at a loss to imagine the grolinds on which the Parliamentary Committee came to this most unexpected decision—Unexpected as mush by the opponents as by the supporters of the measure; they cannot, however, believe that this decision will ultimately affect the interests of the undertaking. So convinced are they of the soundness of, and necessity for the line, that they feel they should not faithfully discharge their duty to the Shareholders, the public, or themselves, by abandoning the undertaking; it is, therefore, intended, that the application shall be renowed next session, and, in the interim, every practicable means will be tak en t o obviate tke probability of a subse quent defeat. Scrip holders are respectfully requested to transmit their Address, as well as the number of Shares they hold, and the numbers of their Scrip Certificates, to the Secretary, on or before the 3d day of JULY NEXT, in order that an account of the expenses may be sent to them, together with a form, whereby they may signify their desire to withdraw from the undertaking, and receive back the amount of their deposits (less the expenses) or of prosecuting the measure durin g the next Session of Parliament.

This Company is established for the manufacture and sale of the Concentrated Essences of Tea and Coffee under Staite's Patent, by licence from the Patentee. The advantages peculiar to the process for which this patent has been granted, aro very numerous ; but among the most prominent is this, that while the properties of the material are completely ex tracted, its available quantity is augmented, and its virtues improved. The distinctive qualities of the Essence obtained are, the retention of the identical flavour and itagrauce of the particular Toe or Coffee used, and a degree of strength secured before unknown. The method employed in preparing aid putting up these Essences, secures them against injury from the lapse of time and change of climate, affords the greatest possible facility Ibr portability and im mediate use, and se reduces the price to the consumer, that economy itself furnishes an ample guarantee for their extensive use. One teaspoonftil of the Essence, in a cup of boiling water, will be sufficient for the instantaneous production of a cup of tea or coffee of the finest quality. The following certificate from Dr. Ure is, with satisfaction, sub joined : " I hereby certify, that Staite's Patent Essence of Tea is a pure and wholesome beverage; and that is is extracted by a peculiar process, which, while it excludes in a great measure, the bitter and astringent matter always present ii the teapot, preserves and refines all the exhilarating and aromatic principles of the Chinese herb. Being put up in Mr. Rand's Collapsible Tubes of pure tin, it will keep un changed for any length of time. (Signed) "ANDREW URE, M.D., FRS., " Analytical Chemist to the Board of Customs, &c., &c." The Committee have also thought it right to have the samples of the ESBelleee submitted to high and unbiassed authorities in the Tea Trade. The foll ow ing testimonial from a well-known and eminent judge is the result:— " W. J. Bland having tested the samples of the concentrated Es sence of Tea, manufactured under Staite's Patent, pronounces them clean, full and perfect. " By whatever process the Extract is obtained, the aroma is finely preserved, and without the crade er fibrous property which ordinary methods of maceration or evaporation would exhibit ; the distinctive flavours of Pekoe, Souchong, Congou, &c., are completely preserved, so that even critical judges of the article would not be able to tell any number of cups of the diluted Essence apart from others infused after the common method. This result may be regarded as Eke acme of the invention, and its greatest protection and recommenda tion. "The Coffees, extracted after the same patent, are rich and aro matic in flavour, and brilliant in colour : perfectly pellucid, without the slightest sediment—whilst the distinguishing properties of the Mocha, the Mountain Berry, and other known peculiarities, are so naturally developed as not to be mistaken.

Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of gas have passed through some of these meters without regula tion or repair, and which are still working to the entire satisfaction of the gas company and consumers. All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his meters.

HYAM, Pantechnetheca, 36, Gracechurch treet, London or sent post fro eto any part of the United Kingaom SacarrAßY—deore Landels, Esq Sardinia, one of the largest and most fertile islands in Europe, has been long regarded as a most favourable position for the formation cif a line of railway, but the necessary concessions had sot been obtained. It is almost equi-distant from France, Spain, Italy, and Africa, to which it sends its superabundant products. It also supplies the ad jacent island of Corsica, Italy, and various parts of Europe. As much cannot be stated within the limits of a prospectus, the public is referred to the Government Statistical Survey. The country produces Silk, Cotton, Wool, and Tobacco; it carries on one of the largest Fisheries of Southern Europe. Its woods and forests consist of well-grown usetail timber, in every way adapted for railway purposes. Amongst Its mineral riches, at present lying almost dormant, we may enumerate Silver, Iron, Copper, Lead, Quicksilver, and Coal Mines, the products of which, and of the whole interior, are brought down to the out-ports by most expensive and primitive means. Its traffic in Wines of various and fine qualities is very extensive. It also exports, to a large extent, Lard, Bacon, Hams, Suppressada Hides, Ox Hides, Sheep, Lamb, Goat, Kid, Fox, Martin, and other valuable Skins. Many thousands of cantars of Cheese, besides Macaroni, are an nually exported into Italy and Malta. 10,000 barrels of Olive 011 have been shipped in one year from Sassari alone. The line possesses no engineering difficulties, passing through an open and fertile plain, of which a very large portion of this country is composed, and taking within its range a population of several hundred thousands. Unlike extensive districts of Europe, there are In this favoured country timber, coal, iron, and labour to be had on the spot ; in fact, most things necessary for the proper construction and subsequent economical maintenance of so important an undertaking.

There were present, the Earl of Lincoln, who presided, Mr. Holmes, M.P., Mr. R. L. Jones, Commissioners, and Sir T. M'Adam. The tolls were put up at the sums for which they were respectively let at the present time, and which were stated as follows :—The Kensington, Brentford, and Isleworth roads, at 15,935/. ; the Tyburn and Uxbridge roads, at 8,060/. ; the Harrow roads, at 1,4601 ; the Kilburn and Edg. ware roads, at 4,116/. ; the Highgate and Hampstead toads, at 17,0201. ; the City road, at 3,0301. ; the Stamford-hill, the Green Lanes, and Seven Sisters' roads, at 11,030/. ; and the Hackney and Lea-bridge roads, at 6,0001. Mr. Lyon, the solicitor to the Commissioners, upon the first toll being put up, said that, in consequence of the intended improvement at Chel sea, the Bill in reference to which was now going through the House of Lords, some bar would be removed. The roads, however, would be offered at the sum they were now let for, and the Com missioners were willing to take the trust, should there be no bid. ding. These tolls were bought for 16,1601. In reference to the Highgate and Hampstead-roads, on which the additional bar had been stationed, Mr. Lyon remarked, that the Commissioners would make the first offer, and which was 17,5001. Mr. Levy observed that four coaches had recently gone off that road, and there was a prospect, upon other railroads being formed, that many others would follow, yet the Commissioners increased the rent 5001. They were knocked down for 17,5201., Mr. Levy being the buyer. The Harrow road found no bidder. The other roads realised 66,0361., being 545/. more than the amount at which they were previously let. The biddings were timed by a minute sand-glass, three minutes being the time allowed between each bidding, when the lot was knocked down. It was said that the whole of the roads sold were taken by Messrs. Levy and Hands, the competition not having been very active. The late fine weather, especially the last two days, has materially improved the appearance of all the crops, eapecially the wheat. The Lent corn has alwa y s looked pretty well; and we hear there is greater probability of a large crop of all Spring sown corn and pulse, than there hos been for some years. Clover is scarce, but some pieces are pretty good, and where mixed w trefoil, have been cut in several places. A few farmers have also cut some meadow grass; and everywhere it is well set, and will be large crop.—Pritiktoto raper. R ICHMOND AND WEST-END JUNCTION RAILWAY.
