she continues to receive, and is desirous of informing her Commer-
cial Friends and the Public in general, that DURING the ALTERA-

To Families visiting Norwich, the Castle Hotel offers every
comfort, its interior arrangements and airy situation being well
adapted for their reception.

are completed, that no house in the kingdom will combine equal ad-
Vantages, being in the centre of the business-part of the city, yet
quiet and retired, commanding the finest views of the Castle, its
gardens, and surrounding country.

land Railway Company, under their Act of Incorporation, will be
held at the Midland Railway Station, at Derby, on WEDNESDAY,
the 20th 'day of, August next, at one o'clock in the afternoon pre•
cisely.
And notice is hereby further given, that the said Meeting will be
made Special fcr the purpose of considering and clktermining on the
propriety of dividing and converting the 50/. shores in the Midland
Railway Company into two shares, one of the nominal value of 3'l.
6s. Bd., and the other of the nominal value of 161. 135. 4d., under the
provisions of the " Midland Railway (Capital) Act, 1851," and of
taking such orders and giving such directions thereon as may be
thought proper.

And notice is hereby further given, that the said Meeting will also
be made Special for the purpese of considering the underwritten re-
quisition, which has been served upon the Directors of the Midland
Railway Company by certain Shareholders therein, regarding the al-
lowance of the free passage of proprietors along the line, to attend
General and Special General Meet ngs.

By order, J. F. BELL, Sec.
Derby, July 26, 1851.

(Copy.)
To the Chairman and Directors of the Midland Railway Company.
We, the undersigned Proprietors in the Midland Railway Company
request you will give notice, that at the next Half-yearly Meeting of
the Proprietor+, it will be proposed to discontinue the practice of al.
n
lowiti -
the free passage of Proprietors along the line to attend Ge-
neral and Special General Meetings. This system is one confined
almost to the Midland Railway Company, and is one objectionable en
many points. It is unjust to the Proprietors who reside at a dis-
tance, and are not on the line, it is liable to great abuse, and entails
very considerable expense on the general resources of the Company
Y allowing parties who may hold ever so small an amount of the
Stock, to pass free along the whole line at a'l events twice, and it
ray be more frequently annually, for any purpose whatever. We
eretore request you will give the above notice, and we also claim
the support of the Board in getting the system of such free passes
abolished.
Dated this 2Gth day of May, 1851.

Signed by
GEORGE MAXWELL, and numerous other Shareholders.

THE MESSRS. COCKS and CO.'S PATENT
PIANOFORTES, 22 Guineas and upwards.

" In looking over the extensive establishment of Messrs. Cocks
and Co., music publishers, New Burlington-street, and in our ad-
miration of the elegant assortment of Piccolos, Cottages, and other
instruments, we are free to confess, that even in choosing a piano-
forte, there is something in a name. Want of judgment, or false
notions of economy, tempt many to seek for bargains in the auction-
room, or the advertised cheap repository ; but the true votaries
of Terpsichore look to the name for a confirmation of
tneir choice, and a guarantee for its being a correct one.
The Cottages, Semi-Cottages, and Piccolos of Messrs. Cocks
and Co. meet at once the requirements of connoisseurs and
economists ; they are of beautiful exterior, of well-seasoned wood,
embracing the highest degree of excellence of material and manu-
facture, and of much surpassing beauty in their harmonic powers,
being powerful in volume, brilliant in expression, and light and
elastic to the touch. The Semi-Cottage or Piccolo, with Its im-
proved grand desk, in particular arrested our attention, from its
truly unique and elegant appearance, and the powerful volume it
pours forth when touched by the master hand. But where there is
uniform excellence it is needless to particularise—suffice it to say,
we do not think these pianofortes can be surpassed in quality
or reasonable low prices."—(Vide the " London Mercantile Journal,"
