The object of this Railway is to connect South and North Wales,
the improving and important port and fashionable watering place of
Aberystwith, Shropshire and Cheshire, &c., with Manchester, Lan-
cashire, Yorkshire, Staffordshire, the Potteries, Derbyshire, and the
North of England.
Its course will be a continuation of the Manchester and Birming-
ham Railway from Crewe, through Nantwich, Whitchureh, Elles-
mere, Oswestry, Wetslipoid!, Montgomery, Newtown, and Lianidloes,
terminating at " Cardigan Bay," and the Port of Aberystwith, with
a Branch from Ellesmere to the coal-field of Rhuabon. Preliminary
surveys have been made, and it presents no engineering difficulties,
and is remarkably favourable for cheap construction.
This line is especially called for by the local wants of the districts,
is not a competing line with any existing or proposed Railway, and
will be the only direct route from Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Leominster,
Hereford, Aberystwith, Machynlleth, Ithyader, LlAnidloes, Newtown,
Bishop-Castle, Montgomery, Welehpool, Llanflyllin, Dolgelly, Llan-
gollen, Rhuabon, Chirk, Overton, Oswestry, Ellesmere, Wem, Frees,
Whitchureh, Audlem, and Nantwich, to the Stafforeshire Potteries,
Warrington, Manchester, and the whole of Lancashire and York-
shire, thus accommodating a population of not less than 300,000 indi-
viduals.
And, by means of this line and "the Trent Valley Continuation
Railway," it will give the only communication by Railway from
Market Drayton, Malpas, Wrexham, and Mold, with the above-
named districts and towns.
And, Jointly with the " Trent Valley Continuation Railway," will
he the most direct line from Oswestry, Wem, Ellesmere, Llangollen,
Overton, and Rhuabon, to Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and London.
It is a most important fact that Crewe, the Terminus of this line,
is the centre of five existing or proposed Railways, embracing the
immense locomotive establishments of those Railways, and the branch
from this line proceeds to the great iron-works and coal-field of
Rhuabon. Engineers and scientific men have fully established the
fact, that the coal of this district is the finest in Europe for the ma-
nufacture of coke, and by this Railway it will be brought directly to
the before-named locomotive establishments, and also be the means
of supplying the interior of Wales with coal, much better, and at a
lower price than at present.
It will greatly benefit the extensive agricultural population of
South and North Wales, the Vale of Clwyd, Shropshire. and Cheshire,
which will obtain a cheap and quick transit for their agricultural
produce to the Crewe establishments, and the manufacturing dis-
tricts of the Potteries and Manchester, including the whole of Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, and also to Birmingham and London.
The importance to the several counties through which this Railway
will pass, of access to the safe harbour of Aberystwith, cannot be
overrated. A great intercourse and interchange of commodities
must take place between the agricultural districts, the coal and iron
mines of Wrexham and Rhuabon, and the flannel manufactories of
Welshpool, Newtown, &e., with Manchester.
The existing traffic is very considerable, and a glance at the ac-
companying map will show at once the great resources of this line ;
and, it is manifest, that it certainly must become one of the most
valuable and productive lines in the kingdom.
rower will be applied for to allow interest at the rate of 41. per
cent. on all deposits and calls paid up, after the passing of the Act.

Lp OCHE'S HERBAL EMBROCATION, an
Effectual Cure for the looping Cough, without Internal

Medicine.
This is the only discovery affording a perfect cure, without admi-
nistering an internal Medicine, the difficulty and inconvenience of
which, in all disorders particularly incidental to Children, are too
well known to need any comment. The Inventor and Proprietor of
this Embrocation can with pleasure and satisfaction declare, that its
sa'utary effects have been so universally experienced, and so gene-
rally acknowledged, that many of the most eminent of the Faculty
now constantly recommend it as the only known safe and perfect
cure, without restriction of diet or use of medicine.
Many thousands of chil lren are cured annually by this remedy;
on the first attack, an immediate application of the EMBROCATION
will prevent the complaint taking any hold of the constitution, and a
few times using often completely cures. In most cases, one bottle
will produce the desired effect. The Proprietor, therefore, earnestly
and conscientiously recommends it to Parents, Guardians, and all
those who have the care of children.
For the protection of the Public, and to prevent imposition, " J.
ROCHE" is signed on tke Label accompanying each bottle, and. the
name of the sole Wholesale Agent, Mr. Edwards, 67, St. Paul's,
..ngraved on the Government Stamp. Price 4s. per bottle. Sold by

This important line of railway _will commence near the Midland
Counties Station at Nottingham, whence, after crossing the navi-
gab!e
River Trent, the line will proceed through or near Bridgeford,
Holme, E ttcliffe, and the Intermediate villages, Bingham, Bot-
tesford, Whatton, Elton, the rich and fertile Vale of Belvoir,
to the tow of Grantham, thence passing through or near
Folkingham aad Bourn, or one of them, to Spalding, Long Sutton,
Sutton-bridge, and King's Lynn,andthere joining the intended Lynn and
East Dereh am Railway, will form the meet direst line of connexion be-
tween the Eastern Counties, and the great and populous manufac-
turing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire, by means
of the projected Grand Union Extension line to Amber Gate, and
other lines north of Nottingham ; and by means of the line to
Yarmouth will also form a communication between the Eastern and
Western coasts of the Kingdom.
The Southern parts of Lincolnshire, and the North Eastern parts of
Cambridgeshire, will be afforded a direct facility of intercourse with
some of the best markets in England.
The neighbourhood of Nottingham being the most Eastern part
of the Great Midland Coal Field, this Line will afford a supply of
Coals, as well as being the medium of transit of Derbyshire Lime
and Stone to the Agriculturists of South Lincolnshire, at a conside-
rably cheaper rate than by other existing or projected Line ; iu
short, the vast mieeral wealth of the Midland District, will be ren-
dered available to the whole of the great agricultural country East
of :gottingham.
Surveys are now in p-
rogress, and the nature of the country is
known to offer no serious engineering difficulties, and a great portion
of the Line will be nearly a dead level. The consideration of an ex-
tension of the Line from Spalding or Long Sutton to Wisbeach, will
also form a portion of the scheme.
The Report of the Board of Trade on the Lines through Lincoln-
shire, says
" The total cost attending the transmission of ti quarter of wheat
from the interior of Lincolnshire, by sea, from the port of Boston to
London, including freight, insurance, lighterage, commission, and
other charges, is stated to amount .to very near Bs. The charge by
Railway per quarter (allowing five quarters to the ton, at the charge
of 14(1. per ton, per mile, at which the estimate of the Cambridge
and Lincoln Railway is taken) would not exceed 25., and the re-
maining charges are calculated not to exceed 2s. Gd., thus showing
a benefit to the corn growers and to the public of 3s. Gd. per quarter,
occasioned by the saving of the sums now paid for insurance,
delay, loss in weight, depreciation of quality, lighterage, &c."
" A still more important advantage to the Farmer is afforded by
the opportunity given by railway communications of availing himself
promptly of the most favourable market. It frequently happens Me-
owing to the delay and difficulty of transmission, the Fanner is come
pelled to sell his wheat at the nearest provincial market at a price
considerably below the average rate, and to lose the advantage of a
temporary rise."
" Whatever tends to equalise prices and to prevent excessive fluc-
tuations cannot but be considered as a benefit both to the producer
and the consumer. We are satisfied that much may be done in the
way by an economical and well arranged system of railway com-
munication."
The same remarks apply to the whole of the great manufketuring
districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire.
The great quantity of land, amounting to 100,000 acres, about
tote redeemed from the sea by a company, with Sir John Rennie, as
Engineer ferthe promoters, anti Mr. Rendel, for the Corporation of
Lynn, must ultimately prove of groat advantage to this under-
taking. And, it it is conceived, that the Grand Union Railway must
meet with the cordial co-operation of the Midland Railways, as an
immense traffic will be brought along those lines en route to Birming-
ham, the Potteries, and the whole of the manufacturing districts of
Staffordshire. The traffic upon the intended Nottingham and Mans-
field, Sheffield and Newark, Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junc-
tion, and the Sheffield and Manchester lines, must also derive a great
increase from ithisline of railwa The Cambridge :and Lincoln Rail-
waymust also be greatly benefited.
Power Is intended to be reserved in the Act to allow 4 per cent. In-
terest upon deposits and "calls, upon completion of the line.

GRAND UNION EXTENSION RAILWAY.
An Extension of the Grand Union Railway is determined upon,
from Nottingham to the Terminus of the Intended Manchester and
Buxton Railway, at Amber-gate.
The Line will traverse the Great Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire
Coal Field, running from the Town of Nottingham, through or near
Lenton, Radford, Basford, Bulwell, Nuthall, Kimberley,
Watnall, Greasley, Newthorpe, Eastwood, Beaverlee, Brinsley, Sel-
stone, Codnor, Butterley, Pentridge, Ripley, Heage, Hartsay, to Am.
ber-gate, and thus passing through a densely populated district, in
exhaustible in its mineral resources, and from whence an immense
degree of local tramc must be derived, it will complete, by its junc-
tion with the Grand Union and the Manchester and Buxton Lines, a
direct communication between the eastern and north-western parts
of the kingdom. •
As this Line was originally a part of the plan contemplated by the
promoters of the Grand Union Railway, and was merely postponed
until it should be ascertained that the Manchester and Buxton Com-
pany would carry out their scheme of extension to Amber-gate, the
Shares will be apportioned to the holders of Grand Union Shares in
the proportion of one to every three.

CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS.
DEFRIE S'S DRY METERS have successfully
stood the tests six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in Use,
they have been adopted by the offizial authorities of the Houses of
parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office,
Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other
Cleb-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many
other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of
gas have passed through some of these meters without regula-
tion or repair, and which are still working to the entire satisfaction
of the gas company and consumers.
All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited
to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from
the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im-
perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry
Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his
meters. - - - . _

Testimonials from the most eminent and scientific men and large
consumers can be had on application (or will bet rwarded by post),

WORKING MEN, beware of those who offer yon clothing at what
appears to be very low prices. Before you purchase from them
reflect a little on the moral consequences of the act, and let the fol-
lowing facts assist you in your reflections :
Very cheap cloth is made chiefly from old woollen rage torn up
and re-manufactured.
Low-priced, but rotten, clothes, are made from this cloth, by un-
fortunate men and women, who receive for their labour a most
wretched pittance.
The advantages of this fraud and oppression are entirely absorbed
by the men who practise it—hence rapid fortunes and palace-like
premises.
Are you working men inclined to be the encouragers and the dopes
of such. dealing?
Are you disposed to assist these men in grinding the faces of the poor?
Pay no attention to the puffs, whether in prose or doggred, that
recommend these abominations.
