In submitting this undertaking to the public, the promoters—a
numerous and highly influential class—have been influenced no less
by the general facilities presented for its construction, by the fa-
vourable character of the country through which it Is intended to
pass, than by the conviction of its great local and general innort-
ar'e as a direct connecting line between North and South Wales,
Shrewsbury, !Lichfield, Tamworth, Derby, and Leicester, and the
Midland and Eastern Counties generally.

To effect this desideratum, the formation of a new 1 ine of 19 or 20
males only will be required; communicating with the Trent Valley
Railway at Lichfield, and uniting with the Shrewsbury, Wolverhamp-
ton Dudley and Birmingham, or Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and
South Staffordshire Junction Railways, at Shiffnal.
It is a remarkable fact that Shrewsbury, the outlet of North
Wale., ha. been hitherto altogether disregarded in the range of ex-
isting railways, particularly towards the east, the nearest being at
the distance of 28 miles.

The town of Shrewsbury, now 95 miles from Leicester by road
and railway, will, by means of this and the othor projected lines, be
brought within 65 miles.

When the ordinary passenger traffic, and the vast transit of cat-
tle, together with the coal, mineral, and agricultural districts to be
traversed, are considered, it is obvious that the construction of this
line will insure to the Company a most lucrative return for the
capital employed ; and that, as an investment, It must rank among
the most advantageous of modern undertakings, whilst it will im-
part advantages of the highest importance, both to England and the
principality. The immense droves of Welsh and Shropshire cattle
will at once be conveyed into the important cattle markels of Derby-
shire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk,
and Suffolk, whilst, In return, the agricultural produce of those coun-
ties will be sent into the densely-populated localities of Birmingham
and Wolverhampton, and the Staffordshire, Shropshire, and Welsh
Ironworks.
The several projected railways passing from Worcestershire and
Herefordshire In the direction of Chester and Liverpool, will be im-
portant tributaries to the revenae of this line, which will be still
further augmented by its Joining the Grand Junction, near to the
Spread Eagle Station. at a short distance from Wolverhampton.
The facilities which will be aff rded to visitors to Matlock, and
the rest of the picturesque scenery of Derbyshire, and of North
Wales
and Aberystwith, as well as to travellers via Holyhead to
Ireland, will still further conduce to the generat Utility of the project.

AIDOVER INQUIRY.
At a Meating of the friends of Mr. Westlake, the Surgeon of
he Andover Union, held at Andover, the 13th day of October, for the
purpose of devising means to respond to communications from various
parts of the country, offering subscriptions towards defraying the
heavy expenses to which that gentleman had been put by the Poor-
law Commissioners, in prosecuting the recent inquiry into the conduct
of the Master of the Union Workhouse; and in doing which he gave
his undivided attention, and employed counsel and solicitors, and
summoned upwards of fifty witnesses front different parts of the
country ; whereby he proved such gross acts of profligacy and ill-
treatment to the paupers, that the master and matron were com-
pelled to give up their situations,
It was resolved,—That the following gentlemen form themselves
into a Committee, and that
J. Bowen May, Esq., of London, be requested to act as Honorary
Secretary
R. Etwall, Esq., M.P.

cuting the late inquiry, be respectfully requested to forward any con-
tributions they may wish to add to those already subscribed to.

We have often called attention to the inroads the
sea is making on onr coast, which, in time, threaten to prove
very serious. We have heard of the probability of the whole
Isle of Sheppy being swept away in a few cycles. Within
the last month two large portions of the field containing the
old footway in the district of Studbill, at Swalecliffe, have
fallen to the beach below. The old farm-house called Hamp-
ton-bill, it is generally known, has been entirely destroyed;
and the sea is still making rapid advances at that point.--

GREAT GRIMSBY, SHEFFIELD, TILL.
POTTERIES, AND GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.
Office, Norfolk-street, Sheffield, November 3, 1845.
NOTICE.

It was originally intended that the Allotment Letters should have
been sent out on the 27th of October last; the great pressure of
business prevented however this intention being carried into com-
plete effect, and .the Committee, therefore, deem it only fair towards
those to whom the Allotments have been made, to extend the period
for payment of their deposits until the litth, instead of the 6th of
November instant, and have instructed their bankers to receive the
deposits up to that date inclusive.
The Committee of Management take this opportunity of commis..
nicating to the Shareholders, that in deference to a wish strongly GS-
pressed by several influential friends of both parties, a meeting took
place at Manchester, on the 24th of October last, with the Com-
mittee of the " Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Potteries, and Crewe Rail-
way," to endeavour to effect an amicable understanding, or an amal-
gamation of interest between the parties ; but the propositions
submitted to this Committee were of a nature which they felt them-
selves compelled at once to reject.
It is gratifying to be able to state, that negotiations are now pend-
ing, with every prospect of success, of a nature which must very
materially enhance the value of the stock in this undertaking.
In conclusion, the opinion of the Committee and their Engineer, as
to the merits of this line, is strongly confirmed by a closer investiga-
tion of the detail, and the surveys and Parliamentary requirements
will certainly be perfected within the period allowed by the stand-
ing Orders.

The Deeds will lie for Execution by the Subseriber.4, itom Eleven
in the Forenoon to Four in the Afternoon, at the places under-
mentioned, viz :

London—On FRIDAY and SATURDAY, the 14th and 15th November
instant, at the Bedford Hotel, Covent-garden.
Manchester—On MONDAY and TUESDAY, the 17th and 18th Novem-
ber instant, at the Royal Hotel.
Liverpool—On WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY, the 19th and 20th No-
vember instant, at the Adelphi Hotel.
Newcastle-under-Lyme--At the Offices of F. Stanier, Esq., Solicitor,
on FRIDAY, SATURDAY, and MONDAY, the 14th, 15th, and 17th
November instant.

Leeds—On MONDAY and TUESDAY, the 17th and 18th November In-
stant, at the Royal Hotel, Briggate.
Sheffield—At the Offices of tko Company, Norfolk-street, on FRIDAY
and SATIIIIDAY, the 14th and 15th November instant.

The Committee of Management are now engaged on the Allotment
of the Shares, but in consequence of the very numerous applications
they have received, it must necessarily be some days before the
Letters of Allotment can be issued.

books of reference will be deposited within the time limited by the
standing orders of Parliament

Allotment will be made early in the next week.

The Committee beg to give notice, that they have concluded the
arduous duty of Allotting the Shares, the Letters for which were
posted last evening. They would also observe that they have en-
deavoured to fulfil this part of their duty with the strictest impar-
tiality, but, owing to the very large number of applications, and a
great part of these being from persons :eliding on the immediate
vicinity of the line, they have been compelled to reduce the number
applied for to a very limited extent, and they cannot but express
their regret at being necessitated to pass over altogether many names
of the highest respectability, but trust this explanation will be
deemed a sufficient apology.
The Committee also take this opportunity to state, for the informa
Von of the Shareholders, that the Surveys have proved most satis-
factory, and that every arrangement is being made for carrying the
Bill into Parliament in the approaching session.
