This short but important 'railway will commence by forming a
junction at the viaduct over the river Trent, near Alrewas, on the
Birmingham and Derby Railway, and proceed in nearly a straight
line to Dudley, being a distance of about twenty-one miles, forming
a direct and unbroken railway communication between Derby and the
North Midland Counties and Worcestershire, Herefordshire, and the
other South-Western Counties of England.
This railway includes in its course the city of Lichfield and the
large and rapidly increasing town of Walsall ; leaving which it will
continue through the manufacturing and mining districts of Wednee-
bury and Tipton, to its terminus at Dudley, where it will unite
with the railways connecting Stourbrldge, Kidderminster, Steurport,
and Worcester, and the whole of the south-west district. Near
Itescot Bridge it will join the Grand Junction Railway, so as to form
the shortest route to Birmingham ; and by means of a branch
through Darlaston and Bilston, to join the proposed lines from Bir-
mingham and Dudley, will also form the most direct line to Wolver-
wv - •
transit of manufactured iron, &c., from the centre of the vast
mineral and manufacturing districts of South Staffordshire, to Gains-
borough and Hull, and to Sneflield and the other great markets of
the North.

The ironstone and other produce of the Derbyshire mines will also
lee brought by means of this railway direct to the furnaces of Stafford-
shire, and the coal tbain Cannock Chase and Brownhills (the best for
domestic purposes), will be conveyed at a small cost to supply the
towns of Walsall, Wolverhampton and Birrei_ gham.
The Hay Head lime, and that of Rushall, the former considered
the best for hydraulic works, and the latter fbr agricultural purposes
and for the manufacture of iron, together with the blue bricks and
tiles of Walsall Wood, at pT scent so much in demand, but nearly
excluded for want of railway access, will all be brought directly
into the proper markets, and will form an immense tratile for this
railway.
Some estimate of the Passenger Traffic my be forme...! when it Is
stated that the population of the towns emlirs;c, d by this unth,rtaking
amounts to nearly three hundred thousand; 'nd when the enormous
traffic which must result from opening up tie mo'.t feveured district
in England is considered, there can he no doubt that the construction
of this railway, beelde, the great benefit arising to the public, will

have wit.de, and the line is favourable both
as r 'trarAs gradients,. economy of construction, and ffiture working.
There are no.exp. n.sive earth works or engineering difficulties, and
the estimate is under the usual average per mile; and the Brie is so
laid out as not to Interfere with any ornamental property.

THE JERSEY-CASE:L.-Mr. WILSON.—The
course so unexpectedly adopted by the Jersey authorities,
and the refusal of the writ of Habeas by the Court of Exchequer,
equally unexpected by all Mr. Wilson's legal advisers, have thrown
increased difficulty in the way of Mr. Wilson, in obtaining redress
for the wrongs inflicted upon him.
A few gentlemen, friends of Mr. Wilson, considering that after the
unequivocal admission of the illegality and injustice of their pro-
ceedings, made by the Jersey authorities themselves, by their re-
lease or rather forcible ejection from prison of Mr. Wilson, there can
no longer exist any doubt as to the manifest wrong and injury com-
mitted by them, and considering, too, that Mr. Wilson has, in his
own person, at considerable anxiety, expense, and personal suffering,
establi,hed a great constitutional privilege, which was sought to be
attacked, have formed themselves into a Committee for the purpose
receiving subscriptions, and otherwise assisting Mr. Wilson in obtain-
ing the most complete redress of which his case is capable.
The Committee will sit daily, from One till Five, at the Southamp-
ton Tavern, Southampton-buildings, Chancery-lane, and will be
happy to afford information to all persons who may favour them by
making inquiry. G. W. BRADY, Hon. Sec.

NEWARK and SHEFFIELD RAILWAY'
The Committee of Management beg to announce to the
Shareholders that they have every reason to believe the Bill was de-
feated in Committee by the production, on the part of their oppo-
nents, of an alternative line, the plan and section of which the pro-
moters of the Bill were not allowed any opportunity pf testing before
the case was closed ; they have since done so, and ascertained the
section to be most incorrect—in fact, twenty chains longer than it
ought to have been, by which the gradients were, of course, propor-
tionably flattened.

The discovery and proof of this error have not, however, been
deemed of sufficient importance to warrant a re-committal of the
Bill.

The very general support which the Newark and Sheffield line,
with its extensions, has received, coupled with the strong recom-
mendation from the Board of Trade on public grounds, affords the
best assurance that it must obtain the sanction of the Legislature in
the next session of Parliament.
In the meantime, a new and careful survey of the whole line will
be made by skilful engineers, and every requisite means adopted by
such modifications of the original line and additional extensions, as
will render the scheme as perfect as possible, and secure the inte-
rests of the Shareholders.
An account of the expenses will be made up as soon as possible,
and the Shareholders who wish to withdraw from the undertaking
are requested to give notice of their intention to the Secretary before
the Ist of August next. All persons who do not give such intima-
tion previous to that date, will be held as participating in the amended
project. By order,
JOHN DENNISTON, Secretary.
