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, Wollaton, Bidwell, Nuthall, Kirhberley,
Watnall, Greasley, Newthorpe, Eastwood, Beaverlee, Brinsley, Sel-
stone, Codnor, Butterley, Pentridge, Ripley, Heage, Hartsay, to Am.
bcr-gate, and thus passing through a densely populated district, in
exhaustible in its mineral resources, and from whence an immense
degree of local traffic 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 on 6 to every three.

CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS.
DEFRIES' S DRY METERS have successfully
stood the test* six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use,
they have been adopted by the official 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.

Corner of Marylebone-lane.
WORKING MEN, beware of those who offer you 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 rags 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 dupes
of such dealing ?
Are you disposed to assist these men in grinding the faces o f the poor?
Pay no attention to the puffs, whether in prose or doggrel, that
recommend these abominations.
