Aberystwith. Shropshire and Cheshire, &c., with :Manchester, Lan.

Its course . will be a continuation of the Manchester and Binning-

terminating at " Cardigan Ray," and the Port of Aberystwith, with
a Branch from Ellesmere to the coal-field of Rhilabon, Preliminary
surveys have been made, and it presents nu tngineering difticultbts,
and is remarkably favourable for cheap construction.
This line is especially called for by the local wantS of the ttignicts,
is not a competing line with any existing or prbposed RailiVtly, and
will be the only direct route from Shrewsbury, Liallow, Leominster,

The TWENTIETH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of this
Society was held on the loth of April last, when a highly satisfac-
tory REPORT• was laid before the Proprietors and Policy Holders,
and unanimously adopted.
Tire 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-
surity of a numerous aid wealthy proprietary.
ADDITIONS TO POLICIES.
[lowing Table shows -the -additions made to Policies for
vhich had been in force for Fourteen Years, to the 31st
r, 1838 :
-

lower price than at present. -
It will greatly benefit the extensive agricultural population of
South and North Wales, the Vale of Clwyd, Shropshire, and Cheshire,
which will trAain a cheap and quick transit for their agzicultural
produce to the Crewe establishments, and the manufacturing dis-
tricts of the Potteries and Manchester, including the whole of Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, and also to Birmingham and London.
The importance to the several counties through which this Railway
will pass, of access to the safe harbour of Aberystwith, cannot be
overrated. A great intercourse and interchange of commodities
must take place between the agricultural districts, the coal and iron
mines of Wrexham and illmabon, and the flannel manufactories of
Welshpool, Newtown, &c., with Manchester.
'rite existing traffic is very considerable, and a glance at the ac
companylng map will show at once the great resources of this line ;
and, it is manifest, that it certainly must become one of the most
valuable and productive lines in the kingdom.
rower will be applied for to allow interest at the rate of 41. per
cent. on all deposits and calls paid up, after the passing of the Act.
Applications for Prospectuses, Plans, and Shares, may be made to
the Secretary, at the Office, 78, King William-street, City, London,

This-Important undertaking, In connexion with the projected Lei-
cester and Birmingham Line, and the existing Midland Railways,
will form the most complete and direct line of communication yet
projected between the great corn-producing counties of Norfolk and
Lincoln, and the populous manufacturing districts of the Midland
Counties, of which Birmingham is the centre.
It Will, in conjunction with the line via East Dereham to Lynn,
and the Norwich and-Yarmouth Railway, establish a direct commu-
nication from Yarmouth and Norwich to Birmingham.
By means of its junction with the proposed Cambridge and Lin-
coln or the London and York lines, as the case may he, it will also
bring within the range of its advantages the whole of the country
between' Lincoln and Peterborough.
The part of the line extending from Boston by Spalding to Market.
Deei ing, and :the Branch from Spalding to Lynn, will also form the
direct route to London from those towns and the country northward
thereof as far as the Humber..
On the other hand, it wilt bring the whole of this highly cultivated
and populous county Into direct and Immediate communication with
the great coal-fields of Leicestershire and 'Warwickshire ; the pro-
posed line of-the Leicester and Birmingham Railway passing through
the latter, and a Branch Line front the Leicester and Swannington
Railway to the Midland Railway, at Broughton, uniting it with
the former. _ _ _ _ .

By these means the price of coals will be reduced one-half at Stam-
ford and the adjacent towns—an advantage in which this under-
taking will possess a decided superiority o:er any other that has been
or can be proposed.
By the junction of this line, at Nuneaton, with the Trent Valley
Railway, it will also form the most direct communication between
Yarmouth, :Convict), Lynn, Boston, Spalding, Stamford, and alithe
intermediate towns, and Manchester, Liverpool, and North Wales;
and, by means of the railways centering at Birmingham, with Bris-
tol and the whole of the west of England and South Wales.
A glance at the map will show that no line that can be devised will
so completely effect all 11,e objects of a grand cast and west commu-
nication as the one now proposed.
The line of country traversed by the railway is n-t-less favourable
in an engineering point of view. Front Lynn and Boston to Stant-
lOrd, two-thirds of the whole. line, the country is one uniform plain;
from thence the line follows the Valley of the Welland to or near to
Market•ltarborough, and then passes over an easy country to the

Midland Railway.
The enormous exports of corn and other agricultural produce from
Lynn, Boston, Wisbeach, and Spalding, and the corresponding im-
ports of manufactured and other goods to those towns, it is confi-
dently expected will of themselves yield an abundant source of
traffic for this Railway ; hut when to this is added the great facili-
ties of intercommunication which the line will afford, bringing within
a few hours' distance the Eastern and Western Coast- of the Island,
and to this is added the entire supply of inland coals throughout the
country traversed by the Railway, there can be no doubt that it
will yield a very ample return for the capital required for its forma-
tion. -

CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.L-DRY GAS METERS.
DEF RI ES'S - DRY -AI ETERS have suceenfully
stood the testa six years' trial. Among the. 10,000 In use,
they have been adopted by the oflizial authorities of the houses of
Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Soincrset-house, Foreign-office,
Thames Tunnel, United. Service, Reform, Conservative, and other
Club-houses, , the. Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many
otitar large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 euble feet of
gas have passed through some of these meters without regula-
tion or repair, and Which are- still working to the entire satisfaction
of the gas company and consumers.
All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are Invited
to avail-themselves.of the advantages and comfort to be derived from
the use of Defries's Dry 51eter,.but, to prevent the substitution of im-
perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry
Meter, and to obSerVe his name on the brass badge in front of all his
meters. _ _

T LIE MINARET PARASOL.
CAUTION.
Ladles arc particularly requested to observe that the Silver funnel
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. •

Testimonials • from tho most eminent and scientific men and large
consumers can be had on application (or will be f rwarded by post),
free of expense, at the Manufactory. 67, St. Martin's-lane, London.

ROYAL CANDLES-PERFECTED.
These Candles arc perfected—no objection now exists. Yes :
Royal.. Cantles, and their positive superiority is established!
Numerous Imitators have already arisen ; and cettainly these Imita-
tions have some resemblance to ordinary Composite Candles. But
composite and rubbish have had their day, and Royal Candles hence
will lead the A pure white flame ! They snuff them Selves, are
as hard as alabaster, purer than wax, glossy as glass, and cheap as
common tallow candles, is their true character. " Their equal is tut
known—their superior will nevercome." All Imitation candles kept
on Show, that the Public may see their inferiority to Royal Candles.

THE PERFECT. SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
The inaferial RIPPON and BURTON offer to the Public has
for the last ten years been found equal to silver in appearance and
sweetneks; and Superior to it In durability. Of the prices of tea-sets,
