The (eject of the pioposed line (for which application will be made
to Parliament in the ensuing session) is to supply an important link
in a commtndcation connecting the town of Great Yarmouth and the
Eastern Coast of the kingdom with the Western, Mialand, and
.Northerii districts, accommodating in its progfess the city of Nor-
wich, the town of King's Lynn, Sutton Bridge, and the towns of
Long Sutton, Hoibeach, Spalding, Boston, Spilsby, by Louth, and
Grimsby.
Commencing at the proposed terminus of the Lynn, Dereham, and
Norwich Railway' at Lynn, the line will proceed by Sutton Bridge
and the towns of Long Sutton and Holbeach to Boston, there con-
necting itself with the Boston Branch of the Cambridge and Lincoln
line, which that Company have, in pnrsnance of a pledge given to
the Board of Trade, agreed to carry lato effect : thence it will pro-
ceed through Boston, spilsby, and Louth to Grimsby, where it will
connect itself with the Great Grimsby and Sheffield line.
The Board of Trade having reported in Favour of the Newark and
Sheffield line, that Company have announced their intention to ex-
tend their project from Newark to a junction at S/eaferd with the
Cambridge and Lincoln line.
It is also intended to extend the proposed line of railway from Hol-
beach to Spalding, there to form a junction with the Spalding and
Stamford Branch of the Cambridge and Lincoln line,• which that
Company have also pledged themselves to the Board of Trade to
carry into effect.
It cannot fail to be observed that the projected lines will together
form the most direct, complete, and continuous communication
between the eastern, western, midland, arid northern districts of the
kingdom, will 'ring the important markets of Norwich and Man-
chester nearer to each other by fifty miles than by any other line of
railway; and besides giving communication to the ports of Grimsby-,
Boston, King's Lynn, Spalding, and Sutton Bridge, with the interior
of the country, and with each other, will afford the greatest amount
of local accommodation to the intermediate districts; in addition to
which, these towns and districts will be placed on a through line to
the metropolis, by their connexion with the Lynn and Ely' and the
Northern and Eastern Railways.
• From a survey recently made by Mr. Fulton of that portion of the
line from Lynn to Boston, it appears there is no tunnelling, cutting,
or embanking, of any importance necessary, and that the line will
be practically a dead level. Under these circumstancest and from
the investigation that has been made of the other portion of the line,
it is confidently estimated that the proposed capital will be amply
sufficient for the construction of the necessary works and every con-
sequent expense, and the income derivable from the great traffic which
must necessarily nrise, not only fl•oin' the transit of passengers, but
from the transport of fish, as well as of corn, cattle, and other pro-
duce orthe great agricultural district through which the lines pass to
the principal food-consuming districts, and Of coals, lime, and staple
commodities for the inland districts, will afford an ample return for
the proposed outlay of capita'.
It is proposed to apply for the usual power to allow interest at the
rate of 4/. per cent. per annum upon the paid-up capital from the
date of each payment until the completion of the railway.
A large proportion of the capital being already secured, it has.
been determined to limit the period for receiving applications for the
remaining Shares to the 21st instant, until which date applications
will be received by the Solicitors and Parliamentary Agents, or by
the undermentioned Brokers :—Messrs. B. and M. Boyd, and Mr.

This undertaking will, in connection with existing and projected
lines of railway, bring into immediate communication with Birming-
ham, and the whole midland and Northern Districts of England, the
great mineral fields of Monmouthshire, as well as those adjoining Car-
diff and Merthyr Tydvil ; at the same time it will furnish to the im-
portant agricultural counties of Hereford, Worcester, Brecon, and
Monmouth, a ready channel for the transmission of their produce to
the dense population inhabiting the mineral districts of South Wales.
The object of this company will be very materially aided, first, by
the existing line from Cardiff to Merthyr: and, secondly, by the
lines intended to be formed by the Welsh Midland Railway Company.
The line will commence at Newport, and will thence proceed
northward by Pontypool and Abergavenny to Hereford, where (in
that direction) it will terminate. From Abergavenny a branch will
extend eastward to Monmouth, and another westward to Brecon.
From Brecon a'i extension will be made to Merthyr, to join the
Taaff Vale Railway, ending at Cardiff. Thus will be established, in
addition to a ftee intercourse with more distant localities, a complete
chain of railway communication amongst the important towns and
districts just enumerated, and which are now wholly unprovided in
that respect. The portion of the line extending westward from
I Monmouth will also promote the most direct passenger route that
can be adopted from Monmouth to Carmarthen, and the South of
Ireland.
In addition to the main line and extensions above indicated, the
Directors propose to place themselves in immediate communication
with the proprietors of the most important works in the several dis-
tricts traversed, in order to fix the situation and the course of the
minor branches, which will be necessary to complete the comprehen-
sive scheme of communication intended ; and to this object regard
has been had in fixing the capital of the Company.
The investigations which have been made on the subject of the
traffic fully justify the conclusion that the undertaking is eminently
calculated for the advantage and convenience of the public, and that
it will prove a most profitable investment of capital.
In conclusion, it may suffice to observe that it is well known that
the scheme of a comprehensive system of inland communication in
the districts in question has already engaged the serious attention of
the tribunal appointed by the Legislature for the initiatory examina-
tion of railway projects; and the Board of Trade has, in its report
on the Tring and Oxford schemes, fully recognised the great im-
portance and necessity of the chain of communication of which the
present undertaking will form a material link in the ;011w:ring man-
ner :—" The accommodation of Herefordshire, Worcestershire, South
Wales, and the important districts lying to the west of the present
lines of railway will evidently, at no distant period, require not only
a wide gauge railway along the southern coast, to place them in com-
munication with London, but also a narrow guage railway, to place
them in direct and unbroken communication, through Birmingham,
with the manufacturing districts and the great railway system of the
rest of the kingdom."
The engineering capabilities of the course of the line and exten-
sions have been ascertained to be excellent, and the capital proposed
will be ample ibr the construction of the 125 miles of railway intended
to be formed.

POWDER, a 'truly wonderful Cosmetique, which has for
centuries been in constant use among the Chinese, possessing pro-

acts those disagreeable appearances to which delicate skins are sub-

discolottration and coarseness, at the same time rendering the skin
beautifully white, smooth, and soft. The component parts are so
perfectly harmless and simple in themselves, that those with the
most delicate complexions may apply it with safety.

Station, Hants, October 26, 1844.

Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have
experienced in taking your Pills for the Gout. I was taken on Thurs-
day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out
of my bed, and atter I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in-
flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and
within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards
took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, thiS
mornin; able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found in
a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in
my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must
have died, and that it must have gene into my stomach. At that
time I had resort to your fills, and they relieved me—within two
hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be
known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that
suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has
been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report.-- ours
truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY.
Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none
have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the community,
nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the impor-
taut discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT A:CD RHEUMATIC mug,

he efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and mem-
mendation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effec-
tive for gout and rheumatism, in • all its various forms, including
sciatica, lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as
tooth-ache, &c. They require neither confinement nor attention of
any kind, And invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach,
brain, tr other vital part.

Sold by Thomas Front, 229, Strand, London ; and, by his appoint-
ment, by all respectable medicine vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. bd. per box.
