(Provisionally Registered.) Capital, 840,0001., in Shares of 251. each. This Railway will connect Leicester, Birmingham, and Coventry, by the nearest practicable route; and was provisionally registered and capital subscribed long before any other scheme was projected for supplying railway accommodation to the district. COMPARATIVE TABLE OF DISTANCES. Present Proposed Distance distance. distance. saved. Leicester to Birmingham.... 49 ........ 37 Leicester to Coventry • • • 31 ........ 24 This line will commence at or near the Wigston station of the Midland Counties Railway, will pass by or near the manufacturing localities of Narborough, Sapcote, Earl Shilton, Burbage, and :Hinckley, through a district most favourable for engineeriag purposes, to a junction with the Trent Valley at Nun eaton, thence It continues nearly dne west to the Whitacre station of the Birmingham and Derby Railway, and south-west by Bedworth to the Coventry station of the London and Birmingham Company. The line will communicate with the Swannington Railway ei.h yr by means of the proposed Broughton Astley branch of the Midlands, or of a separate branch to be formed by this Company ; thereby opening the entire of the Leicestershire coal-field to the counties south-east of Leicester. The Directors, for the last few months, having used their best exertions for the interests of the Company, feel it their duty, now that the surveys, plans, and other arrangements are sofar advanced, to acquaint their shareholders with the position and prospects of the undertaking. The Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton line, which received the favourable report of the Board of Trade, and was before Parliament last session, forms part of the present projected plan for connecting Leicester, Coventry, and Birmingham. The Directors have, by personal Inspection, accompanied by their engineer, satisfied themselves of the remarkable facilities presented by the district for executing the greater part of the line ; and from careful investigation the Directors have the pleasure of informing the shareholders that this undertaking eannot fail to prove a profitable investment if supported by local traffic only, and with the certainty that a through traffic from the eastern and western lines, combined with the great advantages afforded by the junction with the Trent Valley for the transit of goods to and from Liverpool, Scotland, Ire land, and the United States, its importance cannot be overestimated. From the extent of population accommodated by this railway —from the convenience afforded to the trade and manufactures of the Midland Counties—from the vast mineral resources of the dis tricts traversed, and from its position in regard to other important, established, and projected railways, the Directors feel confident that it will be amply remunerative to the Shareholder, and highly advan tageous to the public. The capital has been subscribed, and the Parliamentary deeds have been executed, and the preliminary survey completed. A list of a new and highly influential local direction, and a map of the line, will be published in a few days. By order, H. CASSIN, Secretary pro tem.

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 Hinckley, through Market-Bosworth and .Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to Derby, thence to Ashbourne, by Leek, to Macclesfield, and along the Macclesfield 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 considerably shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham, and Man chester 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 Midland Railway is made. 'the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, in connexion with the Oxford and Rugby and Oxford, Southampton and Gosport Railways forms a di rect Manchester and Southampton line. THE GREAT ADVANTAGES of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway over the other pro jects into Manchester, among others, are— First, That there are only seventy-five miles of railway to be made, in place of one hundred and eighty-nine. Secondly, That it is a more direct line from London to Manchester than even the proposed direct lines. Thirdly, That it interferes with ne existing railway property or vested interests. Fourthly, 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 intercommunication for the conveyance of that agricultural produce, to supply the large manufacturing towns in the vicinity—has been hitherto left totally without railway communication. Fifthly, That it passes through the towns in its route, instead of avoiding them. Sixthly, That the whole line of railway from Rugby to Manchester will be completed and in working order within ten months from the passing of the Act of Parliament. Seventhly, 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 twenty days within the time required by the regulations of Parlia ment. In the allotment of shares a preference will be given, to the exten t of 10,000 shares, to the holders of stock i n th e Londo n and Birming ham 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 It iilway Company, and 2,003 shares to the Man chester and Birmingham Railway Company. Applications for shares may be made to the Solicitor of the Com pany, or any of the agents or local etlicitors of the Company, but all such applications must be accompanied by a reference to a mem ber of the Provisional Committee, or banker, solicitor, or stock broker. No applications for shares will be received after Friday next, the 20th of September instant. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. RUGBY, DERBY, AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY.

The Directory of the London and Birmingham Railway feel themselves called upon to give Notice, that that Company has no connexion whatever with a proposed line, announced as the " Lon don and Birmingham Extension Railway." The Directors of the London and Birmingham Railway have instructed Mr. Robert Stephenson to make the necessary surveys for a line from North ampton to Weedon, to connect their Peterborough Branch with the proposed London, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster lino; Acts for both which lines will be applied for in the ensuing Parlia mentary session. The London and Birmingham Railway Company being of opinion that the proposed London and Kidderminster line is, in connexion with the London and Birmingham line, best adapted for the accom modation of the Public, will give it their most cordial support and co-operation.

Potter and Collingridge, 5, Basinghall-street ; W. B. James, E s q., 5, Basinghall-street. SnatETAßT—Hilton Thomas Jenkins, Esq. The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as the point where the broad guage trunk lines of the west are to have a common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have decided on constructing a line of rail :—another project under the pa tronage of the same powerful direction is now before the public, uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will be carried from Worcester into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will com plete a series of great avenues of iron -road, whose ramification from Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly accessible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where it will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches Stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at Bewdley. This district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge a little to the east, the line is taken to Bridgenorth, a town enjoying an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron works, that gives employment to a population of about 13,000. Pass. ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, from which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wem, enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitchurch, and passing through or near Malpas, have its northern terminus in the city of Chester. In estimating the probable amount of revenue which the Worees ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of profit present themselves, such are the dense population located along the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry In which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned the China manufactories of Worcester; the iron, coal, and earthen ware works at Broseley and other places; the agricultural produce brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal and mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridge, and the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally. In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are also obvious. The line traverses a district affording levels of several miles in extent, and with a surface peculiarlyfavourable. The resi dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found better qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many other localities. As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary to existing or projected lines passing in various directions, few schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater inducement for investment, or a wider range of accommodation for traffic and travelling. This projea constitutes a lengthened link in the chain that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk of the West of England ;—its southern terminus, Worcester, is the half way station of the London and Port Dynnllaen broad gauge line : by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded west ward to Swansea and Aberystwith, and, eastward, to Warwick and Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lynia, Lincoln, an I Hull. The line has been repeatedly and t t careful ly therail for n examined,anbyymthileesCinomay pany's acting engineer, who reports that be laid an the natural level—that the gradients are in every in stance favourable—that the geological structure of the districts to be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a line of com munication is acknowledged by the interests seated on its proposed course.

The object of this line of Railway is to complete the chain of coast communication, and form a connexion with lines already established or projected with reasonable hopes of success. ' It will commence at or near the city of Limerick, and taking a nor therly direction, proceed through the counties ofClare, Galway, Mayo, and Sligo, terminating at Sligo, by a junction with the Sligo and Ennis killen R ailway, and accommodating on it 8 route the important cities and towns of Limerick, Ennis, Gort, Loughrea, Athenry, Monivea, Tuam, Ballinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Balling, Kilalla, Swineford, StreaniStovtri, and Sligo, which town being connected with the north, east, and south, by the different lines through Enniskillen, London derry, Coleraine, Belfast, fArmagh, Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda, Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Killarney, Valentia, Tralee, and Limerick, the establishment of this line will cause Ire land to present a completeness of locomotive communication welch no other country in the world enjoys. The country through which the proposed line travels is most fertile . . in !mineral and agricultural products; it embraces many extensive coal fields, whose advantages it will extend to all parts of Connaught and Ulster ; and intersecting, as it does, so many metropolitan lines of railway, it will develops those advantages in an equal degree to the province of Leinster. The lead, iron, marble, and slate works on its route, will be rendered available to the most distant parts of the island, and perhaps not the least advantage, in a national point of view, will be the establishment of an intercourse between the population of the extreme north and that of the extreme south, as well as placing the trade of, and communication with, Scotland, within the easy reach of all towns of any importance in Ireland. Added to this the cer tainty that on the completion of the projected southern, eastern, and western lines, the noble natural harbours on the Atlantic shore of Ireland will become the British depots of American traffic, and most probably the established packet stations for postal communication between the two countries ; it is impossible to over-rate the value of this truly national projection. _ The counties which Ws railway traverses abundantly supply the English markets with cattle, pigs, &c. This line, communicating with so many ports, will afford the greatest facilities for the shipping of this portion of trade, some idea of the extent of which may be formed Man the fact of upwards of five hundred fairs being held annually in its immediate vicinity, among them, the fair of Ballinasloe, ac knowledged the greatest for sheep and cattle in the British islands. It has been ascertained that the country presents great engineering facilities for the construction of a railway, and in communications which have been received from the landowners along the line, the greatest anxiety is manifested for its completion. The subscribers will be I eld liable only to the extent of their first deposits until an Act of Parliament is obtained, and afterwards only to the amount of their subscriptions. _ _ Power will be applied for in the Act—and in the meantime is hereby given to the Committee—to increase the capital, If necessary ; to alter or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter Into arrangements with any other company or companies ; and also to nominate the first directors of the company. The Parliamentary contract and subscribers' agreement will be ready for signature on payment of the deposits. Subjoined will be found, in the form of an appendix : First. The population of the counties and principal towns through which the line will pass, showing that accommodation will be afforded to more than one million and a half of inhabitants. Secondly. Extracts from the Railway Commissioners' Report en Ireland, giving accounts of the exports and imports at the different harbours on the line, in 1835, but the vast increase in trade which has taken place since that period, must very much enlarge any esti mate to be made on their data. Thirdly, An account of the mineral products before referred to. A perusal of these differen tables, it is presumed, will afford con clusive evidence of the profitable nature of this undertaking. It will be seen, from the accompanying plan, that the railway in tersects many main lines, and will thus contribute to, and receive from them a considerable amount in passenger and merchandise traffic. From the estimates that have been made, a return of at least 10 per cent. must be realised on the capital.

S. and J. R. Poole At Tiverton At Truro At Penzance At Falmouth The object of this line is to effect a direct communication between London and the Land's End. In a national point of view such a line is indispensable. With the advantage of a direct railroad, Falmouth, from its position at the western extremity of the kingdom, would undoubtedly long since have been the principal port on that coast. With the advantage of at least 280 miles of heavy road, that place has attained its high po sition as a Packet Station. Southampton, with far less natural ad vantages, has, since the opening of the South-Western Railway, in creased its imports from 200,0001. to 3,000,0001. per annum. At Bris tol, before the opening of the Great Western Railway, the imports were declining ; since then they have very considerably increased. The merits of a line to the Land's End as an investment for ca pital, it was not left to the present Company to discover. The Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways having already reached Exeter, it has bean in contemplation to extend that line to Fal mouth by way of Plymouth ; and various other projects have been set on foot on the conviction that Falmouth must be reached by railway. The object of this prospectus Is to show that no other line than the present can ultimately satisfy the exigencies of the country in regard to this, its most Important outport—" the natural Packet Station of the empire." The present project is distinguished by this—that it is direct. It is as nearly as possible a straight line from London to the Land's End. The London, Bath, and Bridgewater Comrany having amalga mated with this Company, the immense local influence commanded by them will now contribute to the great national object of a direct line ; while means have been taken for securing the traffic and afford ing all the accommodation contemplated by that Company. The Direct Western availing itself of the Great Western Railway so far as Reading, pursues Its course by or near Newbury, Hunger ford, Great Bedwin, Marlborough, Devizes, the manufacturing dis trict of Trowbridge (from which a diverging line will be carried by Bradford direct to Bath), Westbury, Frome, Shepton Mallet, Wells (from which another diverging line will be taken to Bridgewater), Glastonbury to Taunton, being shorter by about thirty-two miles than any existing or projected railways between these points, and without a tunnel. From Taunton the Bristol and Exeter Railway (now leased to the Great Western) is traversed to Tiverton, whence it is proposed to carry this line direct to the Land's End, Falmouth, St. Ives, and Penzance, being shorter by about sixty miles than the lately proposed line by way of Plymouth, and effecting, in the whole distance from London to Falmouth, a saving of about ninety miles. With respect to the traffic between London and Tiverton, it is needless to say more than that there is already thorough traffic sufli dent to justify the construction of this portion of the Direct Wes tern ; that it will shorten the distance from London to Tiverton about 32 miles ; that it will traverse rich and populous agricultural and manufacturing districts, and receive a large amount of traffic as well from railways now in course of construction as from others pro jected with every chance of success. As to the traffic on the lower portion of the line, it is evident that the vast :number of merchant vessels continually detained in the Channel by:adverse winds, would effect an immense saving both in insurance and time, by discharging their cargoes at Falmouth, and at once transmitting them to their destination by means of this railway; and therefore—without speculating on the extent to which the ports on either side of the great promontory of the Land's End may, by means of this railroad, attract the commerce respectively of Bristol and Southampton ; to what extent the inexhaustible mineral wealth of Cornwall, and the unrivalled agricultural resources of Devonshire may be further developed, or the genial climate of Penzance and Mount's Bay, "the Montpellier of England," attract a larger propor tion of winter visitants—it is obvious that this line will command a traffic both in goods and passengers, from its western terminus, the amount of which may be said to be without limit. A glance at the map will make it manifest that no competing trunk line can ever be established between Tiverton and the Land's End. As between Taunton and Reading, an inspection of the map will show a vast ex tent of midland district, comprising rich and populous parts of So mersetshire, Dorsetshire, and Wiltshire, now altogether destitute of railroad accommodation. Recurring to the features of this project as a national work, one of the greatest in point of magnitude, of vital importance in the event of war, and of almost incalculable advantage to the general and packet commerce of the kingdom ; it [may not be out of place to quote here the following expressions of Sir Robert Peel. Speaking of the project of a direct line from London to Liverpool through the Trent Valley, which bore much the same relation to the Birmingham and Grand Junction that this bears to the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways, lie is reported to have said :—" I consider that the com munication between the metropolis and the great outports to be not a question allows, but a question of minutes." Of the necessity of this particular line, Parliament has already expressed an opinion ; for in the report of the Committee on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line, which was promoted by the Great Western Railway Company, it was stated that that Company had been required to pledge itself not hereafter to oppose a direct line to Falmouth ; and it may be further observed, that a proposed line from Plymouth to Falmouth was last session rejected, on the ground that it might be supposed to interfere with that great national object. The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, and correct estimates of the expenditure and returns are in a state of for wardness, and the whole will be ready for the next session of Par liament. It is sufficient, as to these points, here to state that there are no engineering difficulties in any part of the line which have not been repeatedly surmounted in other cases ; that the first portion will be constructed at an unusually small expense ; that the undertaking will meet with the cordial support, concurrence, and co-operation of the landowners, and that the Directors are justified in asserting that this will prove to be one of the most remunerative railways in the kingdom. Powers will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at our pounds per centum per annum on the deposits, and preference in the allotment of shares will be given to the proprietors of the land through which the line will pass, and to the shareholders in the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and other railways connected with the Direct 'Western district. Applications for shares, in the form subjoined, to be addressed to the solicitors to the Company or to the Secretary. London, September 11, 1845. FORM OF APPLICATION.

That another and a more direct ine•of railway is necessary between the metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Manchester, is now fully admitted, and the quest ion is, which is the best line to be adopted. The above proposed railway wilt. E jrm the shortest and most di rect route from London to Manch esti Ir, and will therefore complete the direct communication with the Ins tropolls at a much less expen diture of capital than by either of tilt 3 projected London and Man chester lines (Remington's and Ashes st's), the actual distance to be constructed being only 73, Instead a - 170 to 180 miles. A careful preliminary survey has determined the promoters of this railway to adopt nearly a straight line from Rugby to Macclesfield, 6; an increased expenditure 0f200,0001. or 350,0001. judicially applied in the present perfected state of civil engineering, and at the reduced cost of the execution of earth works, will wove in the end a far greater real economy, both to the Company itself in the saving effected in the annual expense of working, and also, what is of more importance, to the country in general, by accomplishing, at a much less cost, the same end proposed by an entire and distinct line from London to Manchester. These considerations have not been sufficiently kept in view by other parties who have also proposed to make a railway from Rugby to Macclesfield, but who, by deviating from the direct tract to pursue valleys and to avoid the irregularities of the face of the country, obviously lose the advantages proposed by this Company. The Parliamentary Oecision on the choice &the London and Brighton Railway is a parallel case, the direct line, although presenting more difficulties to overcome, and involving a greater outlay, having been adopted by Parliament in preference to the many competing projects, in a more or less sinuous direction, which were at that time supported in the House by very influential parties. Should it be found necessary, arrangements have been made by which additional lines of rails will be laid between Rugby and Lon don on the London and Birmingham Railway, whereby the surplus traffic northwards will be abundantly provided for. The line also possesses the singular advantage of affording the shortest and most direct route from Manchester to Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth, a feature presented by no other proposed railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great Western as far as Didcot, and thence the proposed Oxford, Southamp ton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Manchester to Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than by any other route, and on this account the project has been warmly supported by the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Railway• Company. The deviations from a perfectly straight line between Rugby and Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or valuable buildings are very slight, and the line in general offers no engineering difficulties of any magnitude. The towns more directly interested as a local line are Nuneaton, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market Bosworth, Burton-upon-Trent, Sutbury, Ashbourne, and Leek. The Company has made arrangements with the North London Junction Railway Company, whereby it has secured the use of their station (of the extent of six acres) in the centre of the City of London, at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which will prove of the utmost importance to this line. Amidst the many railway projects that now occupy the public mind, and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily be conceded that a line that will attain such important results at so small an outlay of capital, and of the time required for its construction, and without interfering with any existing vested interests, must meet with general approbation, and at the same time offer a very excellent nvestment for capital The shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports mouth, in the London and Birmingham, and in the Manchester and Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of 013 shares. _ _ The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4/. per cent. interest on all calls.

This short but very important Line of Railway will commence at the nearost point on the Trent Valley Railway to the City of Lich field, and proceed through a rich and populous couittry, by Shenstone, Sutton Coldfield, and Erdington, to the town of Birmingham. The length of the Line will be only about six teen miles, and a glance at the map will suffice to show the very numerous advan tages which this Railway offers. The projected " South Union Rail way," from Manchester, joins or falls into the Trei it Valley Railway just below Lichfield, and, proceeding along the Trent Valley Line, via Tamworth and Rugby, will form the shorter t and most direct route from Manchester to London, but will leave I tirmingham on the west, which can only be reached by the cheat tous route through Tamworth, a distance of twenty-five miles. The proposed Birmingham and Lichfield Railway will effect an ex tension of the South Union, North Staffordshire, a ad other projected Railways, from Lichfield in a direct Line to Birmingham, and thus save no less than nine miles in the twenty-five, . and constitute the shortest and best line between Manchester and B 1 rmingham yet de vised. As to the returns to be expected for the capital embarked, it is sufficient to mention, that in addition to the very lI trge income aris ing from the local passenger and goods traffic (the latter of which is very great, as most of the agricultural supplies of Birmingham, the emporium of the Midland Counties, and its densel: r populated neigh bourhood, are derived from the vicinities of, and mt Ist pass along this Line), every passenger direct from Manchester to I lirmingham must necessarily proceed along the projected Railway, st could either of the lines from Manchester to Lichfield be made. This line will also form the nearest route fe am Derby and the North to Birmingham. The Capital proposed to be raised is 300,0001., in 15,000 Shares of 201. each. A deposit of 2.1. ,2s. per Share will be ri wired to be paid upon the allotment, to the credit of the Directors with the Bankers of the Company. No call will be made until the Act of Parliament shall be obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow Interea t at 41. per cent. per annum, upon the amount of each call, ffom the (date of payment until the opening of the line, and Subscribers will no t be answerable beyond the amount of their Shares.

If the Manchester Guardian be ' I T or informed, the approaching assemblage in London of ' gelical Christians of different churches and countrie s ' for the purpose of associating and concentrating the st re . oo/ of an enlightened Protestantism against the encroael'of of Popery and Puseyism, and to promote the interest o' Scriptural Christianity," is calculated to produce m e re 00 tensive consequences than any other notice 10 : lie ; rd Tractarian innovation has yet elicited. Let th e be wise in time. This is a " sign" of the days on her' have fallen not to be mistaken. It is for her or ageit'sr,t t ° she must not imagine that she can afford to be indiffere-give it. The Church cannot exist—and this is an iniP r olo' fact—except in virtue of her Protestantism. But her "'de tars have too long tampered and compromised with 41 ' ° : of tensions and practices of Popery under the di s g lds o 6 Puseyism—(a disguise so flimsy and transparent tbst t ie will be adjudged by all the other professions of tendom absolutely inexcusable for having been dece:,ios by it)—not to have created a just degree of apPr el l i i' y throughout the whole Protestant world as to her fid„ e ',, -t i ircl i the great doctrines a ffi rmed at the Reformation. The u" -- t io of England has no right to complain if her loyalty t°iirieg cause in the van of which she had moved for three ee tt ' or ife be thus suspected.

The attempt to bend these, so a 5 tell" commodate them to external influences, or the pressure ° I, jo passing exigency, impeaches with the rest of mar i i : 1 0 0 11 1 all time to come, her professions, however 50 '; ts cr or circumstantially asseverated, of unshaken a"),ee° ment to , them.

It is in van de fl' ,„ too " off that the Protestant hierarchy, as a body, , she I, enamoured of the outward pomp, ceremonial, an d I.,t3e' vanities of those forms to which the Roman hie r archY so much essential value.

The object of this undertaking is to supply the northern part of Norfolk with that railway accommodation of which it is at present wholly destitute. It embraces all the towns in this extensive dis trict, and affords direct communication between them and the City of Norwich, which is the great mart for tke agricultural produce of the county. By the junction of this line with the Norfolk Railway, and with the lines to Yarmouth and Lynn, this important locality will obtain the shortest and most economical route to all parts of England. This undertaking will prove of incalculable advantage to the agri cultur;sts, to the owners of the large and important mills on the River Bure, and to the maitsters and traders of the district, in tha transmission of their commodities, and by placing them within easy communication of the ports and places from which coals and goods of every kind consumed in the district, are obtained. The distinction which Cromer has deservedly obtained, as a most delightful watering-place, will now be considerably enhanced by the direct communication thus established between it and all parts of the kingdom. The unanimous and most cordial support of the merchants and traders of Norwich is given to this project, as carrying out the prin ciple of direct ccmalunication for which they have so earnestly contended. This line will be made with the co-operation and support of the Itorfolk Railway Company (the amalgamated Norwich and Yar mouth, and Norwich and Brandon Companies) ; and powers will be taken to ratify agreceents made with the Directors of that Compaay for leasing it at 4 per cent. per annum on the outlay, and an equal division of the surplus profits. Competent engineers have already surveyed the line, and have re ported most favourably on the project, which is free from engineering difficulty. The greatest care has been taken to select the line which is best for the public interest, and at the same time to avoid interference with any ornamental property.
