point to the eastward, and at the same time passes direct through
the centre of an agricultaral county so rich and unoccupied, it also
opens quarries of the most valuable building stone, lime, &c.—Mans-

those valuable minerals of which the whole district east and south-
e tst of Newark is destitute.

Surveys of the whole line ire in a most forward state, and will be
shown to any party interested. and wishing for information. A Map
of the line will be published shortly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance and co-operation of
those companies with whose lines of railway they communicate, and
as the Poston, Newark and Sheffield line must prove a valuable
feeder to them all, they hope that this appeal will not be deemed
alto,tetlicr unworthy of attention.
