The Directors think it desirable to state that they sometime
sinc3 instructed Mr. Stephenson to prepare for Parliament in the
next session a complete system for supplying railway communi-
cation with the whola of Kent. It is proposed to provide direct lines to
Tunbridge, Maidstone, Gravesend, Rochester, Chatham, Faversham,
Canterbury, and Dover. The surveys have been for some weeks in
progress, and the whole scheme will be very shortly in a complete
state. JOHN KIRKLAND, Chairman.
South-Eastern Railway-office, July 26, 1845.

and the Eastern Counties, thus :—To the south of Mansfield, the
Mansfield and Pinxton and Erewash Valley Railways, will develope
the Portland, Pinxton, Swanwick, Rl?ldings, Butterley, Shipley,
Eastwood, and other collieries—to the West, the Clay Cross branch
of the Nottingham and Mansfield Railway opens the Skeghy, Tib-
shelf, Clay Cross, and Wingerworth Pits—and from the North, the
Staveley, Duckmanton, Sutton Scarsdale, and other extensive col-
lierles, as we'.l as iron works, will be brought into the market ; thus
securing to the public that great desideratum, a wholesome competi-
tion in one of the chief necessaries of life.

3d. The nearest point of the coal field to Lincolnshire being thus
opened, besides the great boon of supplying that county and the
neighbouring districts with coals at a greatly reduced price a large
export trade from the great shipping port of Boston may be reason-
ably expected ; and in these respects no railway existing or projected
holds out the prospects of similar advantages.
4th. While no other line approaches the coal field at so near a
point to the eastward, and at the same time passes direct through
the centre of an agricultural county so rich and unoccupied, it also
opens quarries of the most valuable building stone, lime, &c.—Mans-
field and Bolsover Moor —and thus brings into direct communication
those valuable minerals of which the whole district east and south-
east of Newark is destitute.
Surveys of the whole line are in a most forward state, and will be
shown to any party interested, and wishing for information. A Map
of the line will be published shortly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance and co-operation of
those companies with whose lines of railway they communicate, and
as the Boston, Newark and Sheffield line must prove a valuable
feeder to them all, they hope that this appeal will not be deemed
altogether unworthy of attention.
Holders of Newark and Sheffield and Extension Shares, will be
entitled to an equal number of shares in the new Company, in ex-
change for their scrip certificates or bankers' receipts, which must
be sent immediately to the secretary, at Mansfield, accompanied by
a form of application, which will be suppled by post to those who
have not already received it.
They, as well as landowners and others locally interested on the
line, will receive a preference in the allotment of the additional
shares. _ _ . _ _

_ ...
Parties who do not apply for an exchange of shares, before the first
day of September next, will forfeit their right to them, and be held
as having withdrVirs. 21-01.11 the undertaking,
In order to comply with the standing orders at Parliament, which
now require a deposit of ten per cent. instead of five per cent. as
formerly, a farther payment must he mada of 1/. 2s. 6d. on each
share exchanged for an old ; and on the additional shares a deposit
of 21. 12s. Gd. each.

Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 4/.
per cent. per annum on the deposits, as well as on all future calls,
from the date of each payment till the opening of the whole line,
or until a dividend be declared, and the liability of subscribers will
be limited by the Act of Parliament to the amount of their respective
shares.

The Shares, and all payments made thereon, will be forfeited,
without notice, should the holder thereof not sign the subscribers
agreement and parliamentary contract as soon as required.
References will be required from all new applicants for shares,
who are not known to some members of the Committee or to the

The Provisional Committee beg to acquaint the supporters of the

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.

RAILWAY FROM Al A.CCIESFIELD,
passing* close to the Towns of Leek, Cheadle, and Uttoxeter,
to the Trent Valley Railway north of Lichfield.

PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED.

The Line will commence at the Terminus of the Manchester an
Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard
Reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Conseil,
thence close to Cheadle and Tean, an by Uttoxeter, Bagots Woods
and Abbots Bromley dow❑ the Blythe, to a point on the Trent
Valley Railway north of Lichfield, communicating near there with
one of the proposed lines from Dudley or Wolverhamptota.
A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct
line for the London and Manchester traffic, uniting these two great
termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing
railways, will completely accommodate the local traffic, and throw
open several extensive Coal fields and some thousand acres of Wood
land to Manchester, the Potteries, and other great marts of the
kingdom.
This Line is also in some of its principal features the same as that
already approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned
by the Churnet Valley Company—will not comprise more than fifty
miles of Railway, and passing through the centre of the unoccupied
part of the district, does not interfere with the Grand Junction or
any other existing Railway. This and the proposed Line from
Crewe to Derby will also well accommodate the Potteries, giving to
that important locality a direct route to London, Birmingham, and
the South, to Liverpool and the North, and to Derby and the East,
and will also afford a transit for the Eastern counties traffic from
Derby to Manchester. The co-operation of almost all the principal
landowners from near Uttoxeter to near Lichfield having been ob-
tained, this portion of the line may he considered as secure.
A most influential Provisional Committee, consisting of land•
owners and manufacturers, and others locally interested, will sllortly
be published. In the meantime references may be made to Matthew
Gaunt, Esq., Ilighfield House, Leek ; or to Thomas Tumor, Esq.,
Abbots Bromley, near Uttoxeter.

Since the formation of the Company for making this railway, and
the allotment of the Shares for that part of the line between Chelms-
ford and Bury, the practicability, paramount importance, and supe-
rior advantages of its plan have been so unequivocally recognised by
the Board of Trade, and by the Committee of the House of Commons
for the railways of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, that the Provisional
Committee have determined to now, at once, adopt the extension of
their line, originally projected, from Bury to join the Norwich and
Brandon line at Thetford; thereby to complete the chortest and best
communication between London and Norwich, in the direction of the
old road, through all the chief central towns of Essex and Suffolk,
and at the same time to open a very direct communication with the
great trunk lines of the north and west. . _ _

per cent. per annum, or to any Solicitor, who has the means of form-
ing a Company, double or treble the above amount might be employed
with equal advantage. After many years' perseverance, a Watch
escapement has been brought to such perfection, that all the defect%
of the present Chronometer are removed, and a perfect Chronometer,
either tbr the Pocket or for Navigation, may be obtained at a very
trifling expense beyond an ordinary Watch. The object of the
Advertiser is to secure the patents for the Inventor, and, either by
private interest or public Company, to establish a Manufactory, and
to grant Licences. The first Watch made upon this principle hag
been tried for eighteen months, iZJId the most satisfactory results can
be attested. The properties of improvement will be explained, and
