SAILING DIRECTIONS FOR ENDEAVOUR STRAIT.

N.B.—The soundings are reduced to the lowest spring-tide
level, and the bearings are magnetic.

The variation is about four degrees easterly,
Vessels entering from the south-eastward, and drawing
about 15 feet water, should, after having passed through the
strait between the Brothers and Albany Isles, keep a good
look out for a rock situated nearly in the midchannel be-
tween Mount Adolphus and Cape York. This; rock is laid
down in the Admirality chart by Capt. King; it has since
been examined by an officer in her Majesty's ship Fly, who
found only four fathoms on it; which being reduced to the
low water level, would be barely three fathoms; there is
deep water around it.
Having passed this danger, a direct course may be shaped
for Endeavour Straits, which can be entered by three dif-
ferent openings, the shoalest water four and a half fathoms.
Of the three passages I consider that to the westward the
best, it being twice the breadth of either of the others,
and the soundings from nine to ten fathoms sand. To
go through this opening a vessel must pass to the west-
ward of all the • Possession Group ; the two western-
most being close together and thickly covered with wood.
Having passed between these and a high rugged island to
the westward, S.W. by W., will be the course towards
Wallis Wes. Pass about two miles to the northward of the
northernmost of Red Wallis Isle.—(The leading mark for
the channel is Cape Cornwall on the compass bearing N. 74
E, when, if the weather be clear, it will be on with the
Peaked Hill, on the mainland, near Possession Group.)
When abreast of it at that distance, the course will be W.
S. eight miles, or until Booby Island bears N. /E. Care
must be taken not to keep to the southward of this course,
as a very narrow sand-band extends from the Red Wallis
Island due west for six miles, having two small and shoal
patches upon it, one with 2i fathoms, bearing N. 34 W. four
miles; and the other at the western extremity, bearing N
87/ W. from the Red Wallis. The channel here is the nar-
rowest part of the passage, and is two miles broad,' the
depth being'sufficient for the largest ships, with the excep-
tion of a small sandy knoll, on which I sounded in three
fathoms; this patch lies seven and a half miles N. 79 W.
from the Red Wallis. To the north of this patch the pas-
sage is nearly one and a half miles wide, with six fathoms
in midchannel.

A vessel having proceeded so far west as to bring Booby
Island to bear N. if E., I conceive she will then have passed
through the strait. and may shape a course northward and
westward, according to her destination. That portion of the
strait between Possession Group and Wallis Isles is quite
clear of shoal water, having a uniform depth of seven fathoms
and upwards.
The spring tides between the Possession Isles sometimes
run five knots per hour, the ebb N.N.E. five hours, and the
flood S.S.W. sever. hours. High water at full and change at
one o'clock. Rise and fall nine feet six inches.

This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and form a
direct ronte from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Pyre, and
Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Commencing at Lancaster, it
will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonadale, Sedbergk,
and Kirkby Stephen, and thence by the most practicable line to New-
castle. It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, whick
has hitherto been the principal passenger route front Lancaster to
Newcastle.

It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow torn a
direct railway communication between the coal-Ilelds and mining
districts of Durham and Northumberland, and the important towns
and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, and Lancaster.
The entire length of the line is rich in mineral productions—coal
slate, limestone, marble, and other elements of a great local traffic
aboand, and cannot fail to make this one of the raost remunerative
projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the
important towns on the termini is effected over any existing or pro-
jected scheme.

It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make such
alterations in the line, or the amount of capital required, or other-
wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests t. /the
Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate
of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Act to the
opening of the line, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders
to the amount of their subscriptions only.
Prospectuses and torms of application for shares may be had of the
Solicitors, and of the following brokers:—
Messrs. Peppercorne, Old Broad-street, City, London; Messrs. Jos.
King and Son, and Mr. Robt. Cardwell and Sop, Manchester ; Messrs.

GREAT GRIMSBY, SHEFFIELD, THE
POTTERIES, AND GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.
The allusion to the meting which took place in Manchester on the
24th of October last with the Committee of the Sheffield, Buxton,
Leek, Potteries, and Crewe Railway, contained in the circular of the
3d November, signed " G. C. Holland, Chairman," and addressed to
the applicants for shares in the proposed Great Grimsby, Sheffield,
the Potteries, and Grand Junction Railway, is evidently, from the
ambiguity of its phraseology intended to serve a particular purpose.
The proposal for an amalgamation of the two undertakings above
named was made by the promoters of the Great Grimsby, Sheffield,
the Potteries, and Grand Junction Railway, and not by the Pro-
visional Directors of the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, P tteries, and
Crewe Railway. The latter feel that the adoption of say other course
than the one they decided upon on the 24th ult. could not have
proved otherwise than injurious to the interest of their shareholders.
It is stated in the circular, that negotiations are now pending, with
every prospect of success, of a nature which must materially enhance
the value of this undertaking; in reply to which it is sufficient to
state that, whatever the negotiations here alluded to may be, none
whatever are pending between the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Pot-
tcries, aad Crewe, and Great Grimsby, Sheffield, the Potteries, and
Grand Junction Committees.

HARWICH RAILWAY AND PIER COM-
PANY, with Branches to Thorpe-le-Soken and Alresford.
Capital, 330,0001., in Shares of 201. each.
Deposit 2/. 2s. per Share.
At a meeting of the Provisional Committee of this undertaking,
held at Radley's Hotel, on Wednesday, the sth instant, it was una-
nimously resolved to apply for powers to construct a branch line
about four miles in length, from Elmsted to Alresford, thus connect-
ing the town of Colchester with the deep water of the river Colne,
at the nearest point, and where vessels of 500 tons can discharge
their cargoes with safety, by means of which Colchester will be com-
pletely established as a seaport tows.
The engineers reported that the cost of this branch, with all suit-
able works, would not exceed 50,0001., and it was resolved to increase
the capital by that amount accordingly, and instructions were given
for the necessary survey being forthwith proceeded in.
As the allotment of shares will not take place until the standing
orders are complied with previously to the 30th instant, applications
for prospectuses, plans, and shares, will continue to be received by
the solicitors and brokers already advertised.
