JOHN GOUGH, Secretary, pro. tern,

This Railway is projected to continue the line of communication
from the terminus of the proposed Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and
Midlands Junction Railway at Amber-gate to Nottingham ; which by a
junction at Nottingham with one of the proposed Eastern lines will
complete the nearest and most direct route from Nottingham and the
Eastern Counties to Manchester, Liverpool, and Holyhead, and by a
junction witk the Midlands Railway, in the parish of Sawley, by the
Erewash Valley, the nearest route from Lancashire and Yorkshire to
the South.
The town and environs of Nottingham contain a population of up-
words of 100,000 persons, extensively employed in the cotton, silk
and lace manufacture, and this line, by its connexion with the pro-
posed Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction Railway,
will reduce the distance upwards of seventy miles from thatimportant
district to Manchester and Liverpool, as compared with existing
routes ; and the same advantage will also he derived by the towns of
Leicester and Loughborough.
Independently of the great traffic which, as part of the main trunk
line from the agricultural districts of Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire,
Norfolk, and Suffolk, to the manufacturing districts of Lancashire
and Cheshire, it will pass through a very populous, manufacturing,
and rich mineral district, the local traffic from which will alone re-
turn a fair remuneration for the capital invested. .

It will also pus through the extensive Nottinghamshire and Derby-
shire coal-field; and by its junction with the Midlands Railway, at
Amber-gate, and its c mtiguity to the limestone and gritatone quarries
of Derbyshire, afford an unlimited quantity of coal, lime, and building
stone to a large district at present only partially and expensively sup-
plied with those important products.
In addition to the income to be thus derived from the local,
mineral, and passenger• traffic, a large revenue will Memo from
the line, considerably cheapening the transit of cattle, corn, and other
produce of the Eastern Agricultural Counties, and also of cotton, silk,
and other raw materials, now brought by a circuitous, dilatory, and
expensive route, from Liverpool and Manehester, to be used in the
staple trades of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Leicestershire,
and the transmission of valuable manufactured goods to Liverpool for
exportation.
The railway will provide an easy and cheap access from Notting-
ham and the eastern part of England to Matlock, Buxton, Bakewell,
Chatsworth, and Haddon, and the romantic scenery of the Peak, and
by opening objects so rich in their attraction, will beyond doubt com-
mand a large proportion of that pleasure travelling by which existing
lines have so much benefited.

The Proprietors of the canals in the district through which the line
will traverse, it is confidently believed, will amalgamate their inte-
rests upon such equitable terms as will prove advantageous to the
Shareholders in this Company. _ .

A preliminary survey of the country has been made. and it has
been ascertained that the gradients are remarkably good, and the
cost of construction not expensive. _ _

This line of Railway is projected to supply the required link in the
chain of railway communication between the counties of Lancaster
and York, and the Ports on the North-Eastern and North-Western
parts of the Klagdom.

It is intended to commence at or near the proposed stations of the
Leeds and Bradford Extension and North-Western Railways at Skip-
tan,-whence it will proceed by' Bdßon Bridge, and thence either by
the valley to the south of the Harrogate road, as far as Pace Gate.
by West end, across the River Washburn, and along the banks of the
Nidd, by Haumthswaite (or otherwise from Bolton Bridge, along the
valley of the Wharf, by Addinghain, Ilkley, Burley, and Otley) to
Harrogate and Knaresborough, near which it is intended to form a
junction either with the line proposed by the Great North of England
Railway Company called the " Harrogate and Ripon Junction," or
the " Leeds and Thirsk Railway," and also with the " Harrogate and
Church Fenton Railway," which latter line is projected by the York
and North Midland Railway Company.

The length of this connecting line-of railway, as at present pro-
posed (including a branch to Pateley Bridge, In the event of the line
by the valley of the Nidd being adopted), will be about twenty-seven
miles ; the districts through which it will pass abound with lead
mines and lime-stone of a well-known and excellent quality, but from
the present total want of railway or canal communication, and the
local traffic being conveyed by carts over bad and difficult roads, tko
neighbourhood is now without the means of obtaining coals, except
at a most enormous expense, and its resources are therefore very
partially developed.

- This line of rails ay will altogether remove these disadvantages
and will, in conjunction with other railways now in operation or in
course of construction, effect a direct communication between the
ports of Liverpool, Lancaster, Preston, and Fleetwood en the north-
west, and the ports of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Whitby, Scar-
borough, and the free port of the Tees on the north-east,
and will also produce a saving of upwards of forty
miles in distance over any existing or proposed railway. It
will also perfect the communications between the important
manufacturing districts of Lancashire and Yorkshire, comprising the
great populations of Bury, Bolton, Blackburn, Accrington, Burnley,
Cohie, Clitheroc, Huddersfield, Halifax, Keighicy, and other towns
in the neighbourhood, and the vast agricultural districts of the North
Riding of Yorkshire and the north-eastern parts of England and
Scotland, and will be the means of mutually opening out these great
agricultural and manufacturing districts to the products of each other,
as well as to the coal fields of Durham, in a manner hitherto im-
practicable. It will also afford a direct route from the north-eastern
parts of the kingdom and the East Riding of Yorkshire to the lake
districts of Lancashire, Westmoreland, and Cumberland.
The nearest and most direct route between. Ireland and the Conti-
nent via Fleetwood and Hull, will be given by the proposed line and
the railways in connex4m with it, and it will also be the nearest way
from Manchester to Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Durham.
The local traffic of this line will afford ample remuneration for the
capital expended.
The communication with Harrogate and Knaresborongh will be of
great importance, for it is stated on the best data that near two-thirds
of the visitors to those places are from Ireland and the districts of Lan-
cashire, with which this railway is in direct connexion. The im-
portance of the traffic to those places is also evident from the fact that
the experienced Directors of the Great North of England and the
York and North Midland Railway Companies have each projected
branches from their main lines on the north and south, with almost
the sole view of connexion with Harrogate and Knaresborough.
The proposed line will not be a competing one with any other exist-
ing or prejected line of railway, it will feed the several lines proposed
to be connected with it, and it is supported by the Leeds and Thirsk,
the Blackburn, Burnley, Accrington, and Colne ; the Blackburn,
Darwen, and Bolton ; the Blackburn and Preston ; the Manchester,
Bury, and Rossendale ; the Preston and Wyre ; and the North-
Western Railway Companies.

' The line has- been carefully surveyed, and the levels accurately
taken, and it is estimated that the line will bo constructed with
favourable gradients at an average cost.

Tho respoindbillty of the Shareholders will be limited by the Act of
Parliament to the amount of their Shares.

Applications for Shares may be addressed to the Solicitors to the
Company, or to the undermentioned Share Brokers:—Manchester,
Mr. J. R. Owen, or Messrs. Cardwell and Sons ; Liverpool, me Ed-
ward Bayliffe ; Leeds, Messrs. Ridadale, or Mr. Jamieson; York,

(Provisionally registered.)

Deposit, 21. 15s. per Share.

This short but important Line is designed to connect the present
intended Railway from Hereford to Newtown and Shrewsbury with
the City of Worcester. Leaving the Severn Valley, it will reach
with an easy sweep the Valley of the Teme, and passing within a
trifling distance of the town of Tenbury, will join the Hereford and
Shrewsbury Railway, about halfway between Tenbury and Ludlow.
In length, it will not exceed twenty miles, and follow, in the
greater part of its course, the Valley of the Temo on a water level.
It will thus be necessarily inexpensive in construction, and occupy
but a short period in its formation.
The country is populous and fertile, and, on the completion of
the Railway from Oxford to Worcester, this line will be absolutely
necessary to perfect the communication between the Metropolis and
North and Central Wales, and eventually the Centre and North of
Ireland.

Worcester, from its situation in the rich Vale of the Severn ;
from its Population, Wealth, and Illanufactnres, must naturally be-
Metropolis, having North Wales, part of South Wales, and
be-
come the most important centre to which all lines from the
Ireland
as their objects of communication, eventually converge.
There are no difficult earth works on the line. The gradients are
most easy. A survey of the whole line has been completed.
In the allotment of Shares every preference will be given to parties
locally interested.

A prospectus, with full particulars, will be issued in a few days.
Application for Shares must be made in the form appended, to
Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, Threadneedle-street, Loudon, or
William Dutton, Esq., Solicitor, 15, Chancery-lane, London.

FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

BATHS of HOMBURG, near FRANKFORT-
ON-TILE-MAINE.

The Mineral Waters of Homburg take their rise at the foot of the
Taunus mountains, two hundred yards above the level of the sea.
To the original springs, the reputation of which is so perfectly estab-
lished in Germany, that there have lately been joined fresh sources,
which from the intensity of their mineralisation and the energy of their
action in certain morbid cases, have elevated them to the first rank
among the mineral waters of Germany.
The springs of Homburg are five in number. They have been
analysed by the celebrated Professor Liebig. Notwithstanding the
differences which exist between them, they may be considered as the
same medicament diversely modified. Their mineral principles re-
main the same, with no other difference Max their quantities and
proportions. This affords to the physicians the highly valuable ad-
vantage of applying to each individual case the peculiar water best
adapted to it, and cf modifying the treatment according to the course
and progress of the complaint.
The internal use of these waters is of constant efficacy, above all
when drunk at their source, for then the viv*iying air of the moun-
tains, the diversion of mind by the moving scene, and the abstrac-
tion ftom the cares of the world, concur in assisting the action of the
medicinal beverage.
The waters of Homburg are stimulant, tonic, alterative, and
aperient. They are suited to all cases requiring an amelioration of
the disordered state of the stomach and other intestines, by giving a
peculiar stimulus to these organs when necessary to excite the abdo-
minal circulation, to assist. the secretory processes, and to regularise
nutrition and assimilation: Their great success has been recognised
in enlargements of the liver, in affections of the spleen, in hypo-
chondria, jaundice, the hemorrhoids, and obstinate constipation. In
gout and all affections produced by derangement of the digestive
functions, most happy results are derived from them.
During the four years which have elapsed since these springs first
obtained their merited celebrity, the city of Homburgh has greatly
improved. A new towh has grown up by the side of the old, and
new hotels and private houses afford to visitors all the comforts re-
quired by invalids, and luxuries to be found in the most favourite
Watering places.
The forests, which surround Homburg like a. rich zone, are pierced
with rides and drives by which the residents at the Baths may, with
ease and pleasure, visit the Feldberg, the Rock of Elizabeth, Luther's
Oaks, and all the picturesque sites of the Taunus.
The Directors of this grand Establishment have constructed a mag-
nificent Casino, which—by the beauty of its architecture, the excel-
lence of its distribution, and the richness of its decorations—surpasses
any building hitherto erected at any point on the banks of the
Rhine. It contains splendid saloons for balls and concerts ; rooms
for :the games of Trente et Quarante, and for Roulette tables ;
Cabinet for reading, in which are most of the German, French,
English, Russian, Belgian, and Dutch journals; a Caffee-room ; a
Divan for smoking, opening onto a fine terrace laid with asphalte, and
a grand dining-room with a table-d'hOte, served ala Francaise, vice
a-day, viz. at one and five o'clock.
The excellent orchestra from the Theatre of Mentz performs three
times a day ; in the morning, at the Springs ; in the afternoon, in
the beautiful Gardens of the Casino ; and in the evening in the
grand Ball-room.
Concerts, Balls, and Fetes of every description succeed each other
without interruption.
The Directors shrink from no sacrifice to render this watering-
place as delightful as possible to its visitors, and to this end have
rented about 50,000 acres of forest-lands and plains, all abounding in
game of every description, as well a reserve Park for the Grandees
Chasses at the close of the winter season. The Casino of Homburg,
is the only establishment of the kind that has enjoyed hitherto the
privilege of remaining open all the year, and the continuation of i!s
tables for play, its balls, its concerts, and its hunting parties through-
out the winter-season, makes it attract a numerous and select so-
ciety from every quarter of Europe.

The Journey from London to Homburg, passing through Cologne,
11fentz and Frankfort, is performed in 44 hours. The distance from
Frankfort to Homburg is got over in one hour and a half. Mail
coaches and omnibuses run between these places every hour.
