Mr. John Gough, Nottingham Mr. Thomas Jackson, Nottingham TEI E above Company formed by an amalgamation of the Nottingham. Erevtash Valley, Amber Gate, and Manchester, the Nottingh,m, Vale of Belvoir, and Gran tham, and the Nottingham and Boston Railways, is in tended to carry out the original object of those Companies with an extension to Spalding. The Directors have the sAtisfaction to state that by arrangements now made, this Company will have the powerful aid and co-operation of the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Junction Railway Company, the Lynn and Ely Railway Company, and Lynn and Dereham Railway Company. The Com mittee congratulate the Shareholders upon this accession, which while it affords a mutually beneficial interchange of traffic and a facility in carrying out the objects of this undertaking, insures that unity of interest which is the best guarantee of permanent success. They have also effected an amalgamation of interests with the Canals in the District, upon terms not only be neficial to the Shareholders of this Company in a pecu niary point of view, but upon such as will secure to this Company the influence of nearly every Nobleman and Gentleman through whose property the line will pass. The treaty %Well has been pending with the Midland Railway, the Directors are happy to state, will shortly be sa tisfactorily concluded upon terms, which they feel as sured, will receive the full approbation of the Shareholders of this Company. The Directors are now in a position to go to Parlia ment as a united and most influential body, for the pur pose of making a direct and integral line of Railway from the terminus of the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction Railway at Amber Gate, by Notting ham and Grantham to Roston and Spalding. At Spald ing it is proposed to form a junction with the line of the Ely Company projected from Wi Lynn and sbeach to Spalding. Thus the scheme as now developed becomes one of national character—it effects by the most direct practice.- ble route the Junction of Boston, Spalding, Lynn, Wis. beach, Norwich, Great Yarmouth and the whole of the Eastern and South Eastern part of the kingdom w ith Liverpool, Manchester, and the great manufacturing Di.. tricts of Lancashire and Cheshire, and the great Coal and Iron Districts of Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and Staffordshire. The Town and environs of Nottingham alone contain a population of upwards of 100,000 persons extensively employed in the Cotton, Silk, and Lace manufacture; and this line by its con nexion with the proposed Nlanches : cheater, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction Rail- way, will reduce the distance upwards of 70 miles from that important Town to Manchester and Liverpool, as compared with existing routes ; and will bring the East ern parts of Lincolnshire and Norfolk within a few hours journey of those hives of industry and sources of wealth. The line will pass through the extensive Nottingham shire and Derbyshire Coal f~ field, and by its junction with the Midlands Railway at Amber Gate, ai.d its contiguity to the Limestone and Gritstone quarries of Nottingham shire and Derbyshire, will afford an unlimited quantity of Coal, Lime, and Building Stone to districts hitherto only partially and expensively supplied with those im portant Articles. By the cheap and expeditious transit provided by this line, Coal will be reduced to at least one halt the average price at which it usually sold in Lincolnshire, and when that traffic is fully developed, the income to be derived to the Company, and the benefit conferred on the public, will be immense. Boston and Spalding, and the immediate country connected with those important Towns, are situated in the richest productive districts in the Kingdom. The Corn and Cattle are consumed in the large manufac turing Towns in the Midland and Western Counties, and the carriage of these to the consuming districts will alone furnish a constant and certain source of revenue. A very considerable amount of the vast Staple produce of Nottingham, Derby, Loughborough, Leicester, and the neighkurhood, which is exported to Belgium , Hot land, Denmark, Germany, and all other parts of the Baltic, is now conveyed by a circuitous and expensive route to Hull and London for exportation ; whereas on the completion of this line it will he transmitted direct to the Eastern parts, and from thence shipped to those Countries in much less time and at much less expense. The Railway will also provide an easy and cheap access from Nottingham and the Eastern tarots of England to Alatlock, Buxton, Bakewell, Chatsworth, and Haddon, and the romantic scenery of the Peak, and by opening objects so rich in their attraction, will, beyond doubt, command a large proportion of that pleasure travelling by which existing lines have so much benefitted. It will be thus seen that the proposed line contains all the demi:Tits of a prolitk..ble Railway, it has a Sea Coast and Sea Port Towns at ita Eastern Termini ; it unites the richest and mo,t productive agricultural district of En gland with the great seats of manufacture and consump tion, it provides an outlet for the Coal and Minerals of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire into districts at present only partially and expensively supplied, and it connects the East with the Midland and Western Counties by the shortest practicable route. The line having been now laid out is reported to be free from engineering difficulties, and the cost of formation much below the average as compared with other lines. 'I he Directors are happy to say that no Residential Property is interfered with; and they have the assurance of the Engineer that the surveys are nearly completed, and that all the plans will be deposited in compliance with the Standing Orders of Parliament, and from the talent and well-known accuracy of the Engineer they have per fect confidence that such will be the case. The Directors have reserved a portion of their capital for the landed proprietnis and others locally interested. Prospectuses mid Plans of the proposed Line may be obtained from the Secretary.

Coventry—Coventry union Banking Company. Nuneaton—Messrs. Craddock and Bull. SECRETARY. Charles William Hunter, Esq. PROSPECTUS. THE principle of this important Railway Scheme is an Extension of the North Staffordshire Railway, from Uttoxeter southward, through Burton-upon-Trent, by Swadlingcote, Gresley, and Moira, to Ashby-de-la-Zuuch, Market-Bosworth, and Hinckley, uniting, in the direction of Leicester, with the proposed Leicester and Bedford, and South Midland Railways, and south of Hinckley, with the Midland Railway at or near Ullesthorpe. The main objects of the scheme are : L To secure the best practicable direct Line from Lon don to Manchester and Liverpool. 2. To provide the best and most complete railway com munication for the important mining, manufacturing, commercial, and landed interests of the extensive district yet untraversed by railways, which lies between Uttoxeter on the north, and Leicester on the south. The line of the proposed Railway takes the most direct practicable route from Manchester, to a point near Hinck ley, from which it opens two communications with Lon don—one by the Midland Railway to Rugby, and thence by the London and Birmingham Railway—the other by the Leicester and Bedford, or South Midland Railway, through Market Harborough to Bedford and Hitchin, and thence by the London and York Railway. Thus combi ning the advantage, never before attempted, of the most direct route, with the choice of two approaches to London —a result attained by the promotion rather than the sacri fice or injury of any existing Railway interest. In this scheme the public interest has been the sole con sideration. and it is confidently expected that public sup port will follow. 1 n the adaptation of this scheme to the local interests of the district, for the first time opened by it, the same prin. ciple h.is been the guide. It opens fairly and fully the great Coal-fields of Moira, Swadlincote, and Swannington. It traverses the Pottery district of Swadlincote, Newhall, Gresley, and the neigh bourhood; it provides most ample accommodation for the increased and rapidly-increasing trading and manufactu ring interests of Leicester and Burton-upon-Trent, and their neighbourhoods. It approaches as near as practica ble to every town in the district of Hinckley, Market. Bosworth, Ashby-de-la-Zotich, (with its celebrated baths,) Button, and Tutbury. It interferes with no residential or ornamental property, and the support of many of the most influential landholders is already secured in its favour. The " Midland Union" also connects itself with the Leicester and Birmingham, and Boston, Stamford, and Bit wingbain Railways, and by this connection opens the most direct and complete eastern and western communi cation yet projected: By means of the Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham Railway, and the various other Railways in East Anglia, an easy and direct communication is opened between Burton-upon-Trent, and the Corn-producing counties of Lincolnshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk. By means of the Coventry Branch of the Leicester and Birmingham Railway, and the direct access to Rugby, secured by the proposed junction with the Midland Railway, the most advantageous opportunities are afforded to the Moira, Swadlincote, and other Collieries of the district, for sending Coals to Leamington, Warwick, and the southern markets. By means of the short diverging Line to the Trent Valley Railway, at Atherstone, the communication between Leicester and Tamworth is fully provided for. Upon a careful examination of the details of this scheme, to which public attention is earnestly invited, its ad vantages will be found to be such as not only to supersede the necessity of a direct independent Line from London to Manchester, but to secure to the important local interests of the district traversed by it, more comp le and beneficial accommodation than any direct and independent Line could, by reason of its more extended objects and interests, afford to give.

PROSPECTUS. THE Chester and Wolverhampton Railway is a direct line from London to Liverpool. It uses the London and Birmingham Railway the whole distance to Birmingham. From thence it proceeds to Wolverhampton, either on the Grand Junction, or on the Wolverhampton, Dudley, and Birmingham Railway. From Wolverhampton commences the new portion of Railway, passing through the rich agricultural districts of Newport and Whitchurch on to Chester. At Chester, it proceeds, on the Chester and Birkenhead Railway, on to Birkenhead. It is proposed to establish at Birkenhead a Steam Ferry, gratis, to Liverpool, across the Mersey, so as to unite both towns into one. A preference in the allotment of Shares will be given to the extent of 15,000 to the original Shareholders in the WELSH MIDLAND RAILWAY. 1 AT a large and influ en ti a l MEETING of the Inhabi tants of LEOMINSTER, and of the Landowners of the Neighbourhood, convened for the pnrpose of giving ' consideration to the projected scheme of the Welsh Midland Railway Company : PRESENT, The Hon.

The West Coast of Ireland, the Midland Districts of England, and South Wales, will also, by this means, be in direct communication with the South and South-East Coasts of England. The Lire will commence at a point on the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway at Cheltenham, and passing close by Northleach, Bampton, ai,d the important town of Abingdon, will form a Junction with the Great Western Hal% ay at, or near, Didcot. The Branch to Oxford will diverge from the Main Line at, or near, Bampton. The Town of Cheltenham by this Line will obtain those advantages of direct Railway CoMmunication with all parts of the Kingdom and the Continent, which its im portance demands. A reference to the Map alone will satisfy the Public of the great utility of this Line, of the immense saving of distance effected by it, and the profits which must result to the Shareholders from the vast passenger traffic which will pass over it, fed, a s it w ill b e , b y sa many other im portant Railway communications. Tha Engineers have received instructions to make the necessary surveys with the v i ew o f continuing this Line from Didcot by Wallingford to Maidenhead. Application will be made in the ensuing Session of Par liament to enable the promoters to carry out the proposed undertaking. The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted by Act of Parliament to the Amount of Subscription, and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on all calls from the passing of the Act until the opening of the Line. Prospectuses, with Maps of the Lines, may be obtained on application to the Solicitors, or to the following Share brokers ; London, THOMAS MoxoN, Jun., Esq., 69, Old Broad-street ; Cheltenham, Mr. JAMES STOKES; Liver pool, Mr. G.

T HE enormous increase, during the last ten years, in the trade and population of the still rapidly-growing towns of Manchester, Liverpool, Stockport, and Warring. ton, would imperatively demand a new channel of commu nication, were the existing Liverpool and Manchester Railway conducted in a liberal and accommodating siprit ; but now that that Company is amalgamated with the Grand Junction, and its management influenced by the united canal and river interests, a new and independent Line has become absolutely necessary. To meet this demand, and carry out a line which shall combine accommodation to these great towns and the immense manufacturing population immediately surround ing, it has been determined by a Committee of Gentlemen connected with the district, to establish a Railway from Liverpool, cammencing near the Southern Docks, through • Warrington, to the intended station of the Direct 1.42nd0n and Manchester Railway, in Manchester, and with a direct communication from the main line, at the best possible point, to Stockport. The distance from Liverpool to Manchester, by the proposed Railway, will not exceed that of the existing Line, whilst to Stockport there will be a saving of five to six miles. Warrington, as a centre, will be placed in direct communication with Manchester,, Liverpool, and Stockport. The Railways now making or projected, having their termini at Macclesfield or Stockport, will be valuable feeders to this Line, as it will afford the nearest route to Liverpool, from the counties of Derby, Nottingham, Lin coln, and Leicester. The time has arrived, however, (irrespective of these advantages,) when the Merchants, Manufacturers, and Spinners of Manchester, Stockport, and surrounding dis tricts are entitled to have an independent Line under their own control, and thus secure for their trade the lowest tariff and most efficient management ; and the promoters of this line are prepared to guarantee that passengers and merchandise shall be conveyed with greater expedition and far less cost than by the existing Line. It is expected that the recent and successful trials of the atmospheric principle will fully justify its adoption on this Line, and the promoters will, by its ageticy, be enabled not only to reduce the cost of transit, but materially to increase the speed, regularity, and safety of the trains. Detailed patticulars, with the names of an influential Committee, will be published in a few days, and in the mean time communications may be addressed to Messrs. SALE and WORTHINGTON, Solicitors, Fountain street, Manchester. _ _ Applications for Shares, in the firm subjoined, must be addressed to the Provisional Committee, under cover to the Solicitors; and forms of application may be had from Mr. HENRY RAWSON, Tib-street ; Messrs. HOPE and ROSTRON, King-street; Mr. JOSEPH BOWKER, Bayley's court, Sharebrokers, Manchester ; Messrs.
