GRAND UNION EXTENSION RAILWAY.
An Extension of the Grand Union Railway is determined upon,
from Nottingham to the Terminus of the intended Manchester and
Buxton Railway, at Amber-gate.
The Line will traverse the Great Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire
Coal Field, running from the Town of Nottingham, through or near
Lenton, Radford, Basford, Wollaton, Buiwell, Nuthall, Kimberley,
Watnall, Greasley, Newthorpe, Eastwood, Beaverlee, Brinsley, Sel-
stone, Codnor, Butterley, Pentridge, Ripley, Heage, Hartsay, to Am.
ber-gate, and thus passing through a densely populated district, in
exhaustible in its mineral resources, and from whence an immense
degree of local traffic must be derived, it will complete, by its junc-
tion with the Grand Union and the Manchester and Buxton Lines, a
direct communication between the eastern and north-western parts
of the kingdom.
As this Line was originally a part of tile plan contemplated by time
promoters of the Grand Union Railway, and was merely postponed
until it should be ascertained that the Manchester and Buxton Com-
pany would carry out their scheme of extension to Amber-gate, the
Shares will be apportioned to the holders of Grand Union Shares in
the proportion of one to every three.

THE MINARET PARASOL.
CAUTION.
Ladies are particularly requested to observe that the Silver Runnel
of the Parasol is stamped with the word " MINARET." This
caution is necessary, as other parasols have been sold for the
Minaret which are not so. This elegant novelty can be had at all
the respectable drapers in the kingdom.
