This Railway Is projected to continue the line of communication
from the terminus of the proposed Manchester, 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 from 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 100,000 persons, extensively employed in the cotton, silk
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 that important
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.
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 the extensive Nottinghamshire and Derby-
shire coal-field ; and by its juaction with the Midlands Railway, at
Amber-gate, and its cmtiguity to the limestone and gritatone 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.

This important line of railway will commence near the Midland
COunties Station at Nottingham, whence, after crossing the navi-
gable River Trent, the line will proceed through or near Bridgeford,
llolme, Ratcliffe, and the intermediate villages, Bingham, Bot-
tesford, Whatton, Elton, the rich and fertile Vale of Belvoir,
to the town . of Grantham, thence passing through or near
Folkingharn and Bourn, or one of them, to Spalding, Long Sutton,
Sutton-bridge, and King's Lynn,and there joining the intended Lynn and
East Dereham Roil way, will form the mast direct line of connexion be-
tween the Eastern counties, and the great and populous manufac-
turing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire, by means
of the projected Grand Union Extension line to Amber Gate, and
other lines north of Nottingham ; and by means of the line to
Yarmouth will also form a communication between the Eastern and
Western coasts of the Kingdom.

The railway will provide an easy and cheap access from Notting-
ham and the eastern part of England to Matlock, Buxton, Bakewell,
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 public by which
existing lines have so much benefited.

The Southern parts of Lincolnshire, and the North Eastern parts of
Cambridgeshire, will be afforded a direct facility of intercourse with
some of the best markets in England.

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 bas been made, and it has
been ascertained that the gradients are remarkably good, and the
cost of construction not expensive.

The neighbourhood of Nottingham being the most Eastern part
of the Great Midland Coal Field, this Line will afford a supply of
Coals, as well as being the medium of transit of Derbyshire Lime
and Stone to the A griculturists of South Lincolnshire, at a conside-
rably cheaper rate than by any other existing or projected Line ; in
short, the vast mineral wealth of the Midland District will be ren-
dered available to the whole of the great agricultural country East
of Nottingham.
Surveys are now in progress, and the nature of the country is
known to offer no serious engineering difficulties, and a great portion
of the Line will be nearly a dead level. The consideration of an ex-
tension of the Line ftom Spalding or Long Sutton to Wisbeach, will
also form a portion of the scheme.

The formation of a railway from Nottingham to Boston is, un-
questionably, of the greatest importance to the whole of the districts
and towns which it will connect, and will prove highly advantageous
to the manufacturing and agricultural interests. By reference to the
map of England, it will be seen that Boston is only about 48 miles
from Nottingham, while all other sea-ports, on the east coast, are
from 70 to 130 miles distant from Nottingham ; clearly showing that
Boston is the natural sea-port of the manufacturing towns of the
whole of the midland district. An immense traffic already exists
between Boston and Nottingham, which must be increased almost to
an incalculable amount when the facilities of railway transit are com-
pleted. The very difficult and dilatory mode of conveyance now
used is by the River Witham, Canal, and River Trent. On an
average, upwards of 150,000 quarters of grain are carried annually,
at a cost of 2s. per quarter, which, by the railway, could be carried at
Is. per quarter, being a saving of 50 per cent. to the producers and
consumers. The export trade from Boston is now comparatively
limited, by the want of means of conveyance from the manufacturing
districts, which this railroad will supply.
Boston is situate in the midst of the finest land in the kingdom ;
and this part of Lincolnshire may be justly termed the garden of the
manufacturing district of England. The produce of the whole
district, particularly its wheat, is consumed in the large manufac-
turing towns ; and the carriage of corn and cattle to the great
centres of population will alone furnish a constant and certain source
of revenue. In addition, the growth of potatoes in this locality is so
extensive as to supply an important trade.
The time occupied in travelling from Nottingham to Boston, by
fast trains, will not be more than one hour and twenty minutes;
whereas the journey, as at present performed by coach alone, occu-
pies eight hours. The conveyance of heavy goods by railway will
occupy about two hours; by the existing means of conveyance,
goods are from seven to fourteen days before they reach their
destination.

Application for shares may be made In the annexed tbrm, to any
of the Solicitors :

" The total cost attending the transmission of a quarter of wheat
from the interior of Lincolnshire, by sea, from the port of Boston to
London, including freight, insurance, lighterage, commission, and
other charges, is stated to amcunt to very near 85. The charge by
Railway per quarter (allowing five quarters to the ton, at the charge
of I Ud. per ton, per mile, at which the estimate of the Cambridge
and Lincoln Hallway is taken) would not exceed 25., and the re-
maining charges are calculated not to exceed 2s. 6d., thus showing
a benefit to the corn growers and to the public of 35. 6d. per quarter,
occasioned by the saving of the sums now paid for insurance,
delay, lose in weight, depreciation of quality, lighterage, &c."
" A still more important advantage to the Farmer is afforded by
the opportunity given by railway communications of availing himself
promptly of the most favourable market. It frequently happens that
owing to the delay and difficulty
of transmission, the Farmer is com-
pelled to sell his wheat at the nearest provincial market at a price
considerably below the average rate, and to lose the advantage of a
temporary rise."

FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

undertaking; and I agree to accept the same or any portion thereof,

be done in this
way by an economical and well arranged system of railway com-
munication."

The same remarks apply
to the whole of the great manufacturing
districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire.
The great quantity of land, amounting to 100,000 acres, about
to be redeemed from the sea by a company, with Sir John Rennie, as
Engineer for the promoters, and Mr. Bendel, for the Corporation of
Lynn, must ultimately prove of great advantage to this under-
co-
of the Midland Railways, as an
under-
taking. And, it it is conceived, that the Grand Union Railway must

ham, the Potteries, and the whole of Use manufacturing districts of
Staffordshire. The traffic upon the intended Nottingham and Mans-
field, Sheffield and Newark, Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junc-
tion, and the Sheffield and Manchester lines, must also derive a great
increase of traffic from this line of railway.
Power is intended to be reserved in the Act to allow 4 per neut. In-
terest upon deposits and calls, until completion of the line.

THE MINARET PARASOL.
CIITTION.

In addition to this, a large traffic will be carried along the line in
manufactured goods, and in coal and lime from the Nottinghamshire
and Derbyshire coal fields, to rural districts through which it passes,
and to the shore of the German Ocean ; the latter traffic is yet
to be developed, and with the cheap transit provided by this line, the
important article of coal will compete at a great advantage to the
consumer with the present supply, which is now brought by sea from
Newcastle.

Ladies are particularly requested to obser►e 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 eel be had at all
the respectable drapers in the kingdom.

PROMOTER LIFE ASSURANCE COM-
PANY, 9, CHATHAM-PLACE, LONDON, APRIL 30, 1845.
Notice is hereby given that the ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
of the PROPRIETORS of this COMPANY will be holden at their
office on WEDNESDAY, the 28th of May next, at Half-past One o'clock
precisely, to receive the Reports of the Directors and Auditors of the
state of the Affairs of the Society for the past year, and to elect
Auditors for the present one.

A very considerable amount of the vast staple produce of Not-
tingham, Derby, Loughborough, Leicester and the neighbourhood,
which is exported to Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Germany, and all
other parts of the Baltic, is now conveyed by a circuitous and expen-
sive route to Hull and London, and thence, after repeated removals
by ship or steamer, to its destination : whereas, on the completion of
this line, it would be transmitted direct to Boston, and thence to the
before-mentioned places, in much less time, and at a much less
expense.

Every holder of a policy for the whole term of life in the office has
a right to attend the meeting, and to vote for the auditors.
By order of the Board, M. SAWARD, Secretary.

Boston is not only the nearest seaport town to Nottingham, but
is also the most convenient, safest, and best situated on the eastern
coast, for the shipment and transhipment of merchandise. By recent
improvements the river, or arm of the sea, which runs through the
centre of the town, has been widened and deepened, thus affording
means for vessels of from three to four hundred tons burden to take
in and discharge their cargoes at the wharf side, without risk or
damage, an object of importance not only in point of security to the
goods, but also in the saving of expense usually incurred for lighter
charges.

DIVISION OF PROFITS.
The steady success and increasing prosperity of the Society has
enabled the Directors, at the last annual investigation to declare a
second Bonus, averaging 60 pet cent. on the amounts invested on each
Policy effected on the Profit scale.
EXAMPLES.

A short detail of the present amount of traffic on a small part of
the proposed line, will prove that the expectations of high remune-
ration are well founded. Between Grantham and Nottingham alone

1.0 of Southampton Buildings, opposite Gray's Inn Gate, have on
view .0 largest Stock in London of Table Glass, Dinner, Dessert, and
Tea services, ornamental China, Chandeliers, Lustres, Lamps, Hall
Lanterns, &c.
N.B.—A considerable number of Dinner, Dessert, and Tea Service,
at a great reduction in price; these patterns are not those of the pre-
sent year, but the ware is of the test quality, and they will be found
worthy of attention—some of the Dinner Services in question are
porcelain—ln addition to which, there are a few suspending Drawing
Room Lamps, Lustres, and Hall Lanterns.

there are annually conveyed more than 60,000 tons of goods, con-
sisting of corn, coal, malt, flour, oil, linseed-cake, timber, 8:c. ;
there is also a considerable road traffic by waggons and carts. The
above estimate is founded on returns which give the following detail
of the quantities :—Wheat, barley, and beans, 12,000 tons ; malt,
3,500; flour, 5,000; coal, 35,000; coke, 5,000; timber, 1,500; gene.
ral merchandise, 10,000 ; giving a total of 62,000 tons. The present
charge for this large traflie is, in canal dues, 4s. 4%d. per ton ; Trent
charge, 2d. per ton ; freight to boatmen, 3s. 6d. per ton ; making Bs.
per ton, for a distance by water of thirty-six miles. By railway this
freight could be conveyed for the same distance for less than one-
third of the present cost, at a fair profit to the undertaking, and a
great saving to tho public. It must be remembered that this is the
present amount of traffic ; but experience has proved that wherever
a railroad has been carried, the consequent cheapness and rapidity of
conveyance have trebled it.
To the above items of traffic may be added a large and important
trade in fish, between the sea-coast and the populous inland districts,
when the means of communication are established; and fish being
caught in large quantities on the whole east coast, and sold at a low
price, to this supply of food the railway will give the inhabitants of
the manufacturing towns a ready access. There are many other
important results which may be anticipated from bringing the eastern
coast into easy communication with the manufacturing towns of the
midland counties, and of the north and west.

of his interests to meet other conveniences or necessity. Assarances
ibr terms of years are granted on the lowest possible rates.

The nature of the country through which the line will pass is
most favourable in its facilities for construction : it is nearly all a
dead level, passing along the Valley of the Witham and the Vale of
Belvoir ; and the expensive tunnelling, excavations, and embank-
ments, which have caused so large an outlay on other lines, will not
be necessary on this. The cost of construction will ho as low as that
of any line in the kingdom; and the Company will not have to
encounter the opposition of the owners of the land and estates
through which the line will pass, they being, as far as can be ascer-
tained, most favourably disposed towards the undertaking.
It wil be seen that the proposed line combines all the elements of
a profitable railway; it has a sea-coast and sea-port town as one of
the termini ; it passes through a rich and productive agricultural
district, to the great seats of manufacture and consumption, each be-
ing a certain source of traffic ; and it affords ready communication
,with the southern, northern, and midland counties.

ample time to make all the surveys and estimates, and to comply
with all the standing orders, without that precipitancy, haste, and

The TWENTIETH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of this
Society was held on the 10th of April last, when a highly satisfac-
tory REPORT was laid before the Proprietors and Policy Holders,
and unanimously adopted.
The Public will see the advantage of selecting, In so important a
matter as Life Assurance, a well-established office, which, from its
continued prosperity, and its large additions to policies, offers the
greatest inducement to Assurers, combined with the undoubted se-
curity of a numerous and wealthy proprietary.

5,0001., which had been in force for Fourteen Years, to the 31st
December, 1838:

The proposed line is intended to leave Derby on the south, passing
near to Etwall and crossing the Dove at Tutbury, to continue through
tke valley of that river to tittoxeter ; it will then proceed by the
Intervening valleys, by Longton and Lane End to Stoke in the heart
of the Potteries, and thence to Crewe ; the last link (from Stoke to
Crewe) is intended to be supplied by the Grand Junction Potteries
Branch.—The line will thus traverse a district at present totally
without railway accommodation, and (except far a portion of it) net
included in any other project.
A preliminary view has been taken, and the line presents no
engineering difficulties of importance.
The line is proposed to be taken in such a direction as to avoid
objections by gentlemen having residences near it, and the land-
owners generally.
The saving of distances between the places proposed to be thus
connected will be as follows :
