PROSPECTUS.
The importance of this project, both nationally and locally, has de-
termined its promoters to bring it before the public at the present
moment, notwithstanding the difficulties which at first sight would
appear to stand in the way of its success.
The title of the scheme is sufficiently explicit to put the public in
Possession of its merits without a detailed statement enumerating
them.

Arrangements are in progress with the Canal Company for its ab-
solute purchase, the final completion of which will doubtless be ef-
fected at a very early period.
The Warwick and Binningham Canal has, notwithstanding the
opening of the London and Birmingham Rai way, yielded a dividend
of about 12 per cent. to its shareholders.
By the conversion of the canal into a railway with the benefit of a
terminus in the centre of the large town of Birmingham, a
direct railway communication will be opened with the impor-
tant towns of Leamington and Warwick, at which latter place
the proposed line will join the branch of the London and Bir-
mingham Extension Railway Conipany, from Warwick to Fenny
Comptpn; thus opening,. by means of the projected lines
through Buckinghamshire, a much nearer railway communica-
tion between London and Birmingham than the present one, in addi-
tion to conferring on the very important districts through which the
line passes the benefit of railway accommodation, and which is not
now possessed by them.
The proposed line will be in immediate and close alliance with the
Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester, the London and Birmingham Ex-
tension, and the Warwick and Worcester Railway Companies ; those
Companies having agreed to subscribe a very considerable portion of
the required capital.
The necessary plans and books of reference have been deposited,
and notices to landowners and others duly served ; so that nothing
can prevent the Company from applying to Parliament for its Act of
Incorporation in the session of 1846.
Preference will be given in the allotment of shares to parties locally
interested, to shareholders in the Warwick and Birmingham Canal,
and the Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester, the London and Birming-
ham Extension, and the Warwick and Worcester Railway Companies,
The time within which parties must apply for Shares will, expire
on the 24th of January, 1846.
In the event of the application to Parliament not being made in the
session of 1846, the whole of the deposits will be immediately re-
turned to the shareholders without any deduction for expenses or
otherwise.
Applications for Shares may be made in the undermentioned Form
to the several solicitors and secretaries of the Company.

MANOR, RESIDOXEFONR •
CE,DSHIRE. and ESTATE for
SALE.
The Manor of Chadllngton East, together with the Mansion
House and Estate of 640 acres (tithe free), will be submitted for
sale in the spring. It is about three miles from the excellent market
town of Chipping Norton, and in the centre of the country hunted by
Lord Redesdale's hounds..

This property has been for nearly forty years in the occupation of
the late owner, recently deceased, and the condition of the land and
situation of the residence are such as are rarely to be met with by a
purchaser.
Thg Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway will pass
within a few lrundred yards of the boundary of the estate.
Particulars may be obtained on application to A. L. Rawlinson,
Esq., solicitor, Chipping Norton.

NICOLL'S PALETOT, registered 6 and 7 Vic.,
cap. 65, is patronised by the Prince Consort, Prince George
of Cambridge, &c., and is generally acknowledged to excel all ether
great coats. The cloth is made of Llama Wool, known to be porous,
yet naturally repellant of rain.
In the neighbourhood of the extensive Warerooms, 114, Regent-
street, a few small shops are so far unprincipled as to assume a
similarity of name, intending to impose upon strangers some trashy
substitute. Messrs. Nicoll think It due to their own reputation thus
to caution the public, and to suggest that a copy of the Address be
preserved ; and they further offer a Reward of Fifty Pounds for the
detection of a Positive Infringement.
Black Llama Cloth, from its soft elastic nature, is well adapted for
Evening Dress Coats—to be had only of the Patentees.
Each correct registered Paletot is stamped in the lining "H. J. and
D. Nicoll, 114, Regent-street, London."
