ATIDLAND GRAND UNION
RAILWAY.
This important Railway is intended to connect the great ma
nufacturing districts of .Nottingham and Sheffield, and unite
with them the Manchester and Sheffield, Sheffield and Rother-
ham, North Midland, and the great London lines, and also to
open to the London Market the valuable Coal-fields of the Mid-
land Counties at prices vastly lower, and with Coals generally
much better than those at present consumed by the inhabitants
of the Metropolis.
The first portion of the line will be from Nottingham to Te-
versall (the heart of the Coaldistrict), and the Capital necessary
for which (including the purchase of the Pinxton and Mansfield
Railway) will be 250.000/., which will be divided into 12,500
shares of 20/. each, three-fourths of which are already called for
by resident proprietors, and the possessors of which will have
the important option of taking at par all the remaining shares
of the line to Sheffield, amounting to 500,0001., before they are
offered to the public, no matter what may be the premium to
which the first shares may rise.
The prospectuses, with the names of the London and the
Local Directors, will speedily be published. The plans and sec-
tions have been deposited in the Parliamentary Offices in time
to introduce a Bill next Session, which Bill there is reason to
believe, will meet with support from all the local interests.
Further information may be received by applying to the Soh-
eitor of the Company, W. M. Wilkinson, Esq., 44, Lincoln's
Inn-fields; the Parliamentary Agents, Messrs. Northhouse and
Blount, 4, Parliament-street ; the Consulting Engineer, Jos.

DEPTFORD STEAM-SHIP DOCK
COMPANY.
To be Incorporated by Act of Parliament.
Capital 1,000,0001., in 40,000 Shares, of 251. each.
Deposit 21. per Share.

H. C. Bingham, Esq. John King, Esq.

With power to add to their number.
SOLICITORS—Austin and Masterman.
BANKERS—London Joint-stock Bank.
The object of this Company is to establish Docks for the
express use of Steara-Vessels, with all the accommodation for
passengers and goods, which that rapidly-increasing class of our
mercantile navy now demands.
The site of the proposed Docks comprises the River frontage
between the Royal Dock-yard and Deptford Creek, where tke
•River is deeper than in any other part : hence the largest class
'of Steam-ships may arrive or depart at almost any period of
tthe tide.
There will be a communication by a Junction Railway to
fiat of the Greenwich, by which a great saving of time will be
effected to the passenger, as well as freedom from risk of acci-
dents in the Pool, which are so frequent and appalling in their
extent and effects. The Junction Railway will also unite the
Croydon, Brighton, and South-Eastern Railways.
The prospectus and plans, with every information, may be
obtained of the Secretary, at the Office of the Company,
No. 55, King William-street, London-bridge, to whom appli-
cation for Shares- may be made (pot paid) ; also to Messrs.
Austin and Masterman, solicitors, Wine-office-court, Fleet-
street.
