b.-7' upon Mr. Telfora's estimate, it can be shown that, at the

The object of the proposed line (for which application will be made
to Parliament in the ensuing session) is to supply an important link
in a communication connecting the town of Great Yarmouth and the
Eastern Coast of the kingdom with the Western, Midland, and
Northern districts, accommodating in its progress the city of Nor-
wich, the town of King's Lynn, Sutton Bridge, and the towns of
Long Sutton, Ilolbeach, Spalding, Boston, Spilsby, by Louth, and
Grimsby.
Commencing at the proposed terminus of the Lynn, Dereham, and
Norwich Railway at Lynn, the line will proceed by Sutton Bridge
and the towns of Long Sutton and Holbeach to Boston, there con-
necting itself with the Boston Branch of the Cambridge and Lincoln
line, which that Compile', have, in pursuance of a pledge given to
the Board of Trade, agreed to carry into effect : thence it will pro-
ceed through Boston, Spilsby, and Louth to Grimsby.
The Board of Trade having reported in favour of the Newark and
Sheffield line, that Company have announced their intention to ex-
tend their project from Newark to a junction at Sleaferd with the
Cambridge and Lincoln line.
It is also intended to extend the proposed line of railway from Ilol-
beash to Spalding, there to form a junction with the Spalding and
Stamford Branch of the Cambridge and Lincoln line, which that
Company have also pledged themselves to the Board of Trade to
carry into effect.
It cannot fail to be observed that the projected lines will together
form the most direct, complete, and continuous communication
between the eastern, western, midland, and northern districts of the
kingdom, will bring the important markets of Norwich and Man-
chester nearer to each other by fifty miles than by any other line of
railway ; and besides giving communication to the ports of Grimsby,
Boston, King's Lynn, Spalding, and Sutton Bridge, with the interior
of the country, and with each other, will afford the greatest amount
of local accommodation to the intermediate districts ; in addition to
which, these towns and districts will be placed on a through lino to
the metropolis, by their connexion with the Lynn and Ely and the
Northern and Eastern Railways.
From a survey recently made by Mr. Fulton of that portion of the
line from Lynn to Boston, it appears there is no tunnelling, cutting,
or embanking, of any importance necessary, and that the line will
be practically a dead level. Under these circumstances, and from
the investigation that has been made of the other portion of the line,
it is confidently estimated that the proposed capital will be amply
sufficient for the construction of the necessary works and every con-
sequent expense, and the income derivable from the great traffic which
must necessarily arise, not only from the transit of passengers, but
from the transport of fish, as well as of corn, cattle, and other pro-
duce of the great agricultural district through which the lines pass to
the principal food-consuming districts, and of coals, lime, and staple
commodities for the inland districts, will afford an ample return for
the proposed outlay of capital.
It is proposed to apply for the usual power to allow Interest at the
rate of V. per cent. per annum upon the paid-up capital from the
date of each payment until the completion of the railway.
A large proportion of the capital being already secured, it has
been determined to limit the period for receiving applications for the
remaining Shares to the 21st instant, until which date applications
will be received by the Solicitors and Parliamentary Agents, or by
the undermentioned Brokers :—Messrs. B. and M. Boyd, and Mr.
J. C. Morice, London; Mr. May, Liverpool ; Mr. Anthony Laurie,

BANKERS.
London : The Union Bank of London.

This undertaking will, in connection with existing and projected
lines of railway, bring into immediate communication with Birming-
ham, and the whole midland and Northern Districts of England, the
great mineral fields of Monmouthshire, as well as those adjoining Car-
diff and Merthyr Tydvil ; at the same time it will furnish to the im-
portant agricultural counties of Hereford, Worcester, Brecon, and
M onmouth, a ready channel for the transmission of their produce to
the dense population inhabiting the mineral districts of South Wales.
The object of this company will he very materially aided, first, by
the existing line from Cardiff to Merthyr: and, secondly, by the
lines intended to be formed by the Welsh Midland Railway Company.
The line will commence at Newport, and will thence proceed
northward by Pontypool and Abergavenny to Hereford, where (in
that direction) it will terminate. From Abergavenny a branch will
extend eastward to Monmouth, and another westward to Brecon.
From Brecon an extension will be made to Merthyr, to join the
Taaff Vale Railway, ending at Cardiff. Thus will be established, in
addition to a free intercourse with more distant localities, a complete
chain of railway communication amongst the important towns and
districts just enumerated, and which are now wholly unprovided in
that respect. The portion of the line extending westward from
Monmouth will also promote the most direct passenger route that
can be adopted from Monmouth to Carmarthen, and the South of
Ireland.
In addition to the main line and extensions above indicated, the
Directors propose to place themselves in immediate communication
with the proprietors of the most important works in the several dis-
tricts traversed, in order to fix the situation and the course of the
minor branches, which will he necessary to complete the comprehen-
sive scheme of communication intended ; and to this object regard
has been had in fixing the capital of the Company.
The investigations which have been made on the subject of the
traffic fully justify the conclusion that the undertaking is eminently
ealculated for the advantage and convenience of the public, and that
it will prove a most profitable investment of capital.
In conclusion, it may suffice to observe that it is well known that
the scheme of a comprehensive system of inland communication in
the districts in question has already engaged the serious attention of
the tribunal appointed by the Legislature for the initiatory examina-
tion of railway projects ; and the Board of Trade has, in its report
on the Tring and Oxford schemes, fully recognised the great im-
portance and necessity of the chain of communication of which the
went undertaking will form a material link in the following man-
ner :—" The accommodation of Herefordshire, Worcestershire. South
Wal•s and the important districts b ing to the west of the present
lines of railway will evidently, at no distant pe-' a 1, require not only
a wide gauge railway along the southern coast, to place them in com-
munication with London, but also a narrow guage railway, to place
them in direct and unbroken communication, through Birmingham,
with the manufacturing districts and the great railway system of the
rest of the kingdom."
The engineering capabilities of the course of the line and exten-
sions have been ascertained to be excellent, and the capital proposed
will be ample for the construction of the 125 miles of railway intended
to be formed.

`FENCER'S CELEBRATED CHINESE
k LIQUID HAIR DTE.—The thousands of individuals who
have had the pleasure of using Spencer's Chinese Liquid Hair Dye,
pronounce it to be the only dye extant which will effectually change,
In a few minutes, red or grey hair to a dark brown or black, and it
can be proved incontestibly that it is the safest dye in its use that
ever was prepared. Red or grey hair, whiskers, eyebrows, mous-
taches, &c., are changed without trouble, by simply using a comb
wetted with the liquid ; one application will produce a pleasing and
a permanent change. The colour it imparts to the hair can neve
aturar be
discovered to have been effected by dye, it being
and neither washing, perspiration, or anything will i the least fade
nso perfec to nl,
or affect the colour produced. Hundreds of ladies who wore false
hair, because their own became grey, wear now their own.
Also,
thousands of gentlemen who had grey or red whiskers, which was a
great disfigurement, have become quite dark from the use of
SPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE. Any lady or gen-
tleman may dye their hair with ease and secrecy in a few minutes
without trouble. Price 3s. 6d., 65., and 10s. per bottle.
