PROSPECTUS

- _
This line is intended as a connecting link between the Trent
Valley and Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Junction Rail-
ways. It will commence at Stafford, and terminate at Market
Drayton, and is essentially requisite to perfect the communication
between London, Chester, and Holyhead.
Though the line will not exceed thirteen miles in length, it will
afford immense accommodation to an important district of Stafford-
shire and Shropshire, through which it will pass; and by means of
the lines with which it is intended to communicate, it will effect the
shortest possible route from London to Liverpool, from London to
Birkenhead, and from London to Ireland. A saving of not less than
thirty miles will thus be accomplished.
It will thus become a most important adjunct to the proposed
Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Junction Railway; but
the prominent feature in the scheme is this—that by bringing
Stafford into immediate conjunction with Market Drayton and
Chester, all the advantages of the proposed Trent Valley Continua-
tion Line to Holyhead, will be realised without the enormous sacrifice
of tune and capital inseparable from the carrying out of such a
project, which, however, is impracticable.
It is obvious that such a scheme will be of the utmost general
benefit, as it will materially shorten the distance between the capitals
of England and Ireland, and tend to a still further development of the
great industrial resources of the two countries. As an investment,
its• eligibility cannot be disputed, as the following lines of railway will
be important tributaries to its revenue :—The London and Birming-
ham, Trent Valley, Great Western, Birmingham, Oxford and
Brighton, Birmingham and Southampton, Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Dudley and Wolverhampton, Bir •
mingham, Bristol, and Gloucester, and Grand Junction Railways.
The lines in the vicinity of Liverpool will also become valuable tribe-
taxies to it.
Although this line is proposed by a Company distinct from that of
the Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Junction Railway, yet,
if it should be found expedient and practicable, the two Companies
may be amalgamated. At all events, the shareholders in the Wol-
verhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Company, wftl have the pre-.
ference in the allotment.
It is intended to proceed to Parliament in the ensuing session, as
the plans and surveys are in a very forward state.

This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and form a
direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Wyre, and
Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Commencing at Lancaster, it
will proceed up the valley of the Lube,
mostkby Lonsdale, Sedbergb,
and Kirkby Stephen, and thence by the practicable line to New-
castle. It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, which
has hitherto been the principal passenger route from Lancaster to
Newcastle.
It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a
direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining
districts of Durham and Northumberland, and the important towns
and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, and Lancaster.
The entire length of the line is rich in mineral productions—coal
slate,limestone, marble, and other elements of a great local traffic
abound, and cannot fail to make this one of the most remunerative
projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the
Important towns on the termini is effected over any existing er pro-
jected scheme.

The first object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham
Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route
and to supply an important link of communication between the town
of Spalding and the eastern coast, and the western and midland
districts.
Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham,
Lynn, and Holbeack Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn,
Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and Wymondham, to a
point on the Syston and Peterberough line of railway near Melton-
Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid-
land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and
thence to Coventry, and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry,
Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway.
The projected line will form the most direct communication be-
tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and. will, by
means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur-
ton-upen-Treut, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk,
Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles
than any other line of railway.
It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct line
across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to
Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west.
The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is no tunnel-
ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line
from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very
level, and may be constructed at a small cost.
It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract
of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open-
ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of the means of transit.
The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct
communication with the coast ; and this line will at once supply the
deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire.
It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei-
cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon
supply from the north at high prices: it will also secure the advan-
tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works,
to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only
supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis-
tricts will oktain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and
agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
1 Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is
the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and
connected by the. River Welland with the German Ocean.
The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the
necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the ineome
derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co-
ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans-
port of corn, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural
districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming
districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland
districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay.

Offices, Broad-street-buildings.
At a Board of Directors of this Company, held at these offices the
22d day of October, 1845,
It was unanimously resolved,
First—That the East India Railway Company was formed in the
spring of this year, after many months of preliminary discussion and
communication with official anthorities, for the purpose of carrying
out the views and objects of the projectors in the introduction of
ailways into India.
Second—That the promoters of the undertaking 'abstained from
adopting any measures towards the formation of a company until
they had satisfied themselve 3 of the disposition of the Government
of India to support the undertaking by pecuniary aid in some shape,
on which basis this Company was accordingly established, its object
being (as stated in the prospectus) to execute the lino of railway
which should be selected by Government, with the ulterior exten-
sions and developments consequent upon it.
Third—That, in furtherance of these views, the Managing Director
of this Company proceeded to Calcutta in the month of July last,
accompanied by a staff of surveyors, for the purpose of making the
necessary surveys, obtaining the requisite information, and of ascer-
taining the views of the local Government, prior to the final arrange-
ments for commencing operations.
Fourth—That the information obtained in the course of several
years of preliminary inquiry inclined the projectors to the belief that,
subject to any unforseen circnmstances, the line from Calcutta to
the north-western provinces, by Mirzapore, was the most needed by
India, and most calculated to yield a profitable return for investment
of capital, and it was therefore that line which was advocated in the
first communication with the Government, the selection being left to
the Government.
Fifth—That subsequent to the formation of this Company, various
projects have been announced to the public for constructing railroads
in Western India, some of them forming part and portion of the
scheme of the East Indian Railway Company, and to which the
surveys and the operations of the Committee in Calcutta may pos-
sibly at this moment be directed as an important feature in the de-
sign of Government.
Sixth—That under these circumstances it appears to this Board to

THE public is most respectfully informed that
Messrs. NICOLL have received permission, according to the
specification in the Act 6 and 7 Vict., cap 65, to alter and otherwise
adapt the coat, known as the REGISTERED PALETOT, to be
suitable for winter wear, and it is now being made of a tkicker ma-
terial, viz., of milled Llama cloth; it* waterproofed by the new
method, which, it is well known, does not unnecessarily confine the
heat of the body, but the material, when thus operated upon, remains
as porous as other that has not undergone this process, the effect
being that it does not sop, and will turn a stout shower of rain, but
not that of 24 hours' duration. Nicoll's Registered Paletot for winter
wear is a garment that is warm without being heavy, which,
even for travelling, the necessity of wrapping up in a cumber-
some manner, has of late years been found needless, distances being
so much shortened by present railway and other conveyanoes.
Nicoll's Registered Paletot, used alone as a morning frock coat, not
over another, is found to be a most agreeable garment for walking
exercise ; and from the skilful way it is formed, it does not
confine the chest or shoulders, but has an equally neat and
gentlemanly appearance when worn in cold wet weather, or in
the evening over a morning or dress coat. The price is three
guineas, that for summer wear being two. It may be ob-
served that those principles are retained that has obtained for
the Registered Paletot the patronage of mere than one of the
Crowned Heads of Europe. The Prince Consort, Prince
George of Cambridge, the chief members of the Court, prin-
cipal families in the kingdom, who it is well known are
distinguished in their taste for perfect neatness of dress. The Regis-
tered Paletot having therefore necessarily excluded anything vulgar
or outre in appearance, would alone recommend itself to the notice of
the respectable members of the middle classes, was it not further as-
sisted by its moderate price, being for ready money. It may be ob-
' tattled of the principal tailors of the chief provincial cities ; but as
only most of the respectable firms are appointed agents, any attempt
on the part of others will thus by the public be at once detected, and
such attempts, when known, will be visited by the penalties provided
in the Act beforementioned ; and in thrtherance of which a reward
of fifty pounds will be paid f6r inibrmation that may lead to the
conviction of such mitt§ by 11. J, 1114 0. Nicoll, 314, Bigent-
etrot.iivad4a.

MMoney ((o
of which we all are fond),
Is something like a magic wand;
Its strange, mysterious power is such
That all is changed beneath its touch.
It changes men—it changes things,
And sheds a light where'er it springs ;
And by the mystic power of " Money."
Life's bitters are as sweet as honey.
Look at the noble house of MOSES I
How vast the scene which it discloses !
'Twas " Money" rais'd that mighty mart,
And deck'd with splendour every part ;
The public pour'd their " money" forth,
From east, and west, and south, and north.
MOSES and SON, with cash in hand.
