TIIIS EVENING, May 12, at Eight o'clock,
Mr. WILSON will giro, in compliance with many request,
A NICIIT Wl' BURNS.

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 tulles, and folloW,
In the
greater part of its course, the Valley of- the Teme on s water level.
It will thus be necessarily inexpensive In construction, and occupy
but a short period in its formation.
The country is populons 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 ;
ftom its Population, Wealth, and Manufactures, must naturally be-
come the most important centre to which all lines fiam the
Metropolis, haying North Wales, part of South Wales, and 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.

This ilneOf Railway is projected to supply the required link In the

chain of railway communication between the counties of Lancastir
and York, and the Ports on the 'North-Eastern and NorthiVeitien
parts of the Kingdom. •

It is intended to commence at or near the proposed stations •of the
Leeds and Bradford Exten.sion and North-Western Railways at Skip-
ton, whence it will proceed, by Bolton Bridge, and thence either by
the Talley to the south of the Harrogate road, as far as Pace (}ate.
by West end, across the River Washburn, and along the banks of the
Nidd, by Hampthswaite (or otherwise from Bolton Jiridge,.along the
valley of the Wharf, by Addlogham, Ilkley, Burley, and Otley) to
Ilarrogate 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 " Harrogate and
Church Fenton Railway," which latter line is projected by the York

The length of this connecting line of railway, as at present pro-
posed (including a branch to rateley 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.; bid froln
the present total want of railway or eaual-voinmunication, and the
local traffic being conveyed_by:earth over bad and difficult roads, the
neighbourhood is now-Without the means of obtaintng coals, except
at a most enormous expense, and its resources are therefore very
partially developed.

This line of railway 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 on 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, Kcighley, and other towns
in the neighbourhood, and the vast agricultural districts of the North
Riding of Yorkshire and the north-eastern parts pf England and
Scotland, and will be the means of mutually opening out these great
agricultural and manufacturing districts to the prodtects of eack 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 tho East Riding of Yorkshire to the lake
districts of Lancashire, Westmoreland, sold Cumberland.

_
SOLICITORS.
Messrs. Percy, Smith, and Percy, Nottingham
Messrs. Craridock and Woolley, Loughborough
Mr. Philip Hubbersty, Worksworth
JOHN GOUGH, Secretary, pro. tern.

This Railway is projected to continue the line of communication
from the terminus of the proposed 11 anchester,.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 tVom Nottingham and the
Eastern Counties to Manchester, Liverpool, and Holyhead, and by a
junction with 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 100,040 persons, extensively employed in the cotton, Bilk
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 be derived by the towns of
Leicester and Loughborough.

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 connex'on.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 llarrogate and Knaresborough 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 otto 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 Thirek,
the Blackburn, Burnley, Accrington, and Colne ; the Blackburn,
Darwen, and Bolton ; the Blackburn and Preston ; the Manchester,
Bury, and nossendale; the Preston and lyre ; 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 be constructed with
favourable gradients at an average cost. . - •

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 pass through tile 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 gritstone 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 accrue 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 Manchester, 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, Bakewelt,
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 respolsibillty of the Shareholders will be limited by the Act of
Parliament to the amount'of their Shares.

Applications tbr Shares may be addressed to the Solicitors to the
Company,. or to the undermentioned Share Brokers :—Manchester,
Sir: J. R. Owen, or Messrs. Cardwell• and Sons Liverpool, Mr. Ed.

Messrs. Mein and Cunningham ; Edinburgh, Mr. Robert Allan;
Skipton, Mr. B. B. Hall ; Newcastle-upoa-Tyne, Messrs. Warburton

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. .

HER MOST GRACIOUS' MAJESTY THE
QUEEN
Having been pleased U send a Donation of 201, to the Fund now
raising in consequence of the late Calamity on the Scroby Sand • and
the Subscriptions already received from several Noblemen, Albite
Companies, Insurance Societies, Private Individuals, and others, to-
gether with the Inhabitants of Yarmouth and the neighbourhcod,
amounting to a considerable sum ; the Committee confidently hope
that the benevolent objects contemplated in the following appeal, and
stated in the concluding paragraph, may be fully realised through the
htereased assistance and sympathising liberality of the public at large.
AUTHORISED STATEMENT OF THE

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

CALAMITY TtYLVI.OSS OF LIFE ON THE SCROBY SAND,
OFF YARMOUTH BEACH,

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 than 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 of modifying the treatment according to the course
and progress of the complaint.
The internal use of these waters is of constant efficacy, above all
air of the moun-
ind and the twahi
nean, drunktthe
vaetr rnsfontu fboyr
tthhee tutu theo,i
nV;V:st-cyej
abstrac-
tion from 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 succesk 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 ye Ars which have elapsed since these springs first
obtained their merited celebrity, the city of liernburgh has greatly
improved. A new towh has grown np by the side of the old, and
new hotels and private hoses 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 ; a
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 asphalts., and
a grand dining-room with a table-d'hOte, served a la Franealie, twice
a-day, viz. at one and five o'clock.
The excellent orchestra from the Theatre of Drente performs three
times a day ; in the morning, at the Springs ; in the afternoon, in
the beautiful Gardens of the Casino I 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 bunting 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,
Mentz and Frankfort, is performed in 44 hours. The distance from
Frankfort to Homburg in got over in one hour and a half. Mail
coaches and omnibuses run between these places every hOur.

On SUNDAY, JANUARY 2;' ISO.
TO THE NOBILITY, GENTRY, AND CLERGY. AND TO THE
SHIPPING, MANUFACTURING, AND TRADING POPULA-
TION OF 'ENGLAND.
It is well known to those acquainted with the Eastern coast of
Norfolk, that, during heavy gales, the immediate vicinity of Yarmouth
Roads Is one of the most dangerous parts of the entire coast of
England.
The number of wrecks which occur on the Barber, Cross, Corton,
and especially the Scroby Sands, has long ago induced a hardy, brave,
and intrepid race of men to devote their entire lives to the saving of
property and life along the coast.
A number of boats called yawls, measuring from 50 to 80 feet long,
and from 30 to 50 tons burden, have, at an expense of from 300/. to
4001. each, been built by the joint contributions of the Iteachmen,
who have f rmed themselves into companies for that purpose. With
these they often leave the shore at the nowt imminent risk of their
lives, not only when the chance of saving property holds out to them
the hope of a large reward in the shape of salvage, but with no less
earnestness and intrepidity when the only satisfaction they have in
prospect is rescuing from a watery grave some of their fellow-
creatures. _ _

On no occasion is It remembered that this noble and disinterested
daring was more magnanimously displayed than on Sunday, the 26th
of January, 1845, on which day, during a veryheavy gale from N. W.
and by W. no less than five brigs were in distres,A, four upon the Scroby
Sand and one upon the Barber. In no one of these cases was there,
at the time of their condition being discovered, the slightest probabi-
lity of saving anything like property. Nothing, therefore, but the
warm promptings of humanity could offer any inducement to the
Beach:nen to man their boats : yet they hesitated not a single mo-
ment, but at once launched their gallant barks and set forward to the
rescue. Happily their efforts, in four instances, were successful in
saving all the crews.
The Caister Ileachmen, with their. yawl, Storm, succeeded In saving

the crew of the Elizabeth, of Scarborough, nine in number.
The Holkham Company, in their Yawl, the Red Rover, 38 tons,
went off to the brig Jane, of Whitby, from which, although the yawl
sustained considerable damage, they succeeded in rescuing the crew,
nine In number.

The Young Company, with their yawl, the Sailor's Friend, of 48
tons, succeeded, at very considerable risk, in taking off the crew of
the brig Choice, of Newcastle, also nine in number.
The Star Company, in their yawl, Phcenix, went off to the Ann, of
Sunderland, ftom which, after splitting the stem and carrying away
the mast of the yawl, they rescued and safely landed the crew of
nine men.

Having thus far been enabled to record the meritorious and sue-
,
cessful conduct of these gallant men, who, in addition to the immi-
nent risk of their lives, have suffered considerably in the injury done
to their property—for which no remuneration can be anticipated but
tom the benevolence of a British public, it remains to relate the me-
lancholy catastrophe which forms the climax to this statement.
The Beachmen of the `• Phoenix" having safely landed the crew of
the"" Ann," and being themselves much exhausted, a fresh crew of
the same Company re-manned the yawl, and immediately proceeded
to another vessel lying in distress on the Scroby; the wind was then
blowing a hurricane. On nearing the vessel, they found the sea
running over her, and made an unsuccessful attempt to reach her ;
falfing to do so, they let go their anchor and veered down ; unfortu-
nately the force of the sea drove the yawl upon the brig and dashed
her to pieces ; when the Beachmen—with the exception of one man
(named Abraham Wetherell), who sank with the yawl—got on board
the brig, which was now drifting, and every sea breaking with tre-
mendous violence over her bull.
The accident being witnessed from the shore several men belonging
to the different Companies manned the life-boat and flew to their as-.
sistanee. The danger of all was extreme, and those on shore trembled
alike for the poor fellows on the brig and those in the life-boat. Hap-
pily she reached the brig though too late for many, some of whom
were carried overboard by the falling of the brig's masts, and some
drowned on the wreck. Six only of the " Phcenix's crew were savedi;
awl of the brig's crew, who were in a state of exhaustion when the

" Phcenix" first reached ber, the whole perished.
Thus in the noble attempt to save the lives of their fellow-men,
seven of our gallant beachmen found a watery grave, leaving behind
them four widows and fourteen children (ten of whom are under
twelve years of age) totally unprovided for, as well as the aged
mothers of the three single men. Their na res were Abraham
Wetherell (leaving a widow and nine children), James Shreeve
(widow and three children), Ganham (alias James) Iliillng (widow
and two children), James Boulton (widow), William Warner, George
Points, and James George, single men, but upon whom their widowed
mothers, or aged parents, depended for subsistence.
To provide a fund to relieve the necessities of the bereaved—to re-
ward the noble fellows who so gallantly risked their lives for others—
to assist in replacing the serious loss suffered by the boatmen—and
to form a nucleus for a permanent find for the relief of sufferers
under similar calamities in future—is the object of the present
appeal. •
Subscriptions will be received at the banks of Messrs. Barclay and
