IRKENHEAD, MANCHESTER, and
CHESHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY.

LIVERPOOL BRANCH.

It is proposed to construct a BRANCH LINE of RAILWAY from
the BIRKENHEAD, MANCHESTER, and CHESHIRE JUNC-
TION' RAILWAY, near Warrington, to the HERCULANEAN
DOCKS and the CENTRE of LIVERPOOL, materially shortening
the communication between Liverpool and the manufacturing dis-
tricts. Complete details of the measure will be laid before the public
without delay. The holders of the Birkenhead, Manchester, and
Cheshire Junction Shares, will be entitled to a 251. Share in the new
Stock, for every whole Share in the old.

NAMUR AND LIEGE RAILWAY WITH
EXTENSIONS.

The Directors hereby give Notice, that the final ALLOTMENT
of:SHIRES of this Company haiing taken place, the respective
parties will receive their letters of allotment forthwith—that
MONDAY, the 21st inst. is fixed for the payment of the deposit upon
such Shares, and that no money will be received by the Bankers of
the Company after that day.

The Directors take this opportunity of expressing their regret,
that owing to the many well-founded claims which have been made
upon them, by most influential persons in Belgium, for Shares in
this Company, and the numerous applications they have received,
they have been unable to allot Shares to many desirable parties,
and compelled to limit, much more than they wished, the amounts
allotted to each. By order,

CHRIST CHURCH, 7111.iii.ER.
The recent melancholy events which have disturbed the
Diocese of Exeter, and which, it is feared, cannot be satisfactorily
settled, have largely contributed to establish the necessity for a Free
Episcopal Church.
The party within the pale of the Establishment, who denounce
the Protestant Reformation, and labour without ceasing to subvert
its principles, cannot be sufficiently held in check in a diocese like
Exeter, where they are notoriously favoured by the Bishop, without
some large and determined effort to provide for the due celebration of
the services of the Church, in connexion with the faithffil ministry
of the Gospel, free from the control of the ecclesiastical ruler.
To provide then for those who have been driven from their paro-
chial edifices by the semi-popish teaching of the clergy, it has been
felt needful to obtain ground in a central part of the city, on which
to erect a large and conunodious church ; the hall opened a few
months since in Fore-street having proved quite insufficient to ac-
commodate the numerous congregation.
Christ Church is now erecting in East Southernhay—one of the
best situations in Exeter, and on the borders of the two populous
parishes of St. Sidwell's and Trinity. It will be constructed to seat
1,400 persons ; four hundred of the sittings will be free. The cost of
the ground and building, with other expenses, will exceed 4,0001.
The friends of Protestant truth throughout the country are re-
spectffilly invited to sympathise with their brethren at Exeter, by
aiding with their contributions this spirited undertaking.
An opportunity is thus afforded them, not only to strengthen the
hands of a small band, who, trusting in God, have commenced this
work, but to record their attachment to those principles which have
been esteemed the glory of Great Britain, and the distinguishing
excellence of her religious institutions.
Contributions for the Christ Church Building Fund will be received
for Henry Crofts, Esq., the Treasurer, at the City Bank, Exeter ; and
at Messrs. Roberts, Curtis, and Co., Bankers, London.

This Railway is projected to give a direct line of communication
between Leicester and Birmingham, and across the country from
east to west, in connexion with the Midland, Syston, and Peter-
borough, and the Gloucester and Bristol Railways.

It will also, by means of the Trent Valley 'and Churnet Valley
Railways, open a direct communication between Leicester and the
South-Eastern Districts, and Manchester, Liverpool, and Ireland.
It will also aecommodatc the, important local traffic between Lei-

center and Birmingham, including the intermediate towns of Hinch-
ley, Nuneaton, and Atherstone, a district containing a population
of upwards of 40,000, chiefly engaged in manufactures ; and open a
communication with the extensive and valuable mines of Coal and
Ironstone in the Oldbury and Ansley fields, hitherto rendered almost
useless for want of the means of transit.

In addition to this local traffic, this line will have the great advan-
tage, through its branch, of extending and securing the valuable Coal
traffic arising on the Swannington and Leicester Railway, opening a
direct communication along the Midland Railway with the southern
markets.

The main line will save a distance of ten miles between Leicester
and Birmingham.

The length of the main line, which this Company proposes to con-
struct, is about eighteen miles, and the branch line eight miles. The
main line is intended to commence by a junction with the Midland
Counties Railway at the Broughton Astley Station, and passing near
to the towns of Hinckley and Nuneaton, to unite with the Trent
Valley Railway at the latter town, and proceed along the same to
near the town of Atherstone, and from thence to the Birmingham
and Derby Railway, forming a junction therewith at the Whitacre
Station. The branch line will commence at the Broughton Astley
Station, and terminate by a junction with the Swannington and
Leicester Railway, near to Desford
