Commencing at a point northward of the Oakley station, on the
Birmingham and Derby portion of the Great Midlands, this railway
will unite with the Trent line, and thence proceed to the towns of
Walsall and Wolverhampton, joining the Grand Junction Railway
and the contemplated lines in the direction of Dudley, Bilston, Kid-
derminster, Stourbridge, Stourport, Bewdley, Tenbury. Leominster
and Hereford.
Whilst by these means a communication of great local importance
will be opened between Nottingham and Derby, Burton, Lichfield
Stafford, the Potteries, and Shrewsbury,—the more important public
necessity will be supplied of bringing the producing districts of Lin-
colnshire and Cambridgeshire and the ports of the East of England
into direct contact, by a continuous railway route, with the great
mineral districts of South Staffordshire, the Bristol Channel, and the
ports of South Wales.
The length of railway to be constructed will not exceed thirty
miles, and the distance saved between the towns contiguous to or
beyond the respective termini will be about fifteen.
The country presents no peculiar engineering feature. The line
interferes with no ornamental property, and has the support of the
princiAl landed proprietors.
In the allotment of Shares provision will be made for landowners
and other local interests, and the residue will be issued to the public,
being shareholders in the Trent Valley Railway Company.
Copies of the Prospectus, and forms of application for Shares, with
a map of the proposed line, may be obtained on and after Monday, at
the Company's offices, 68, George-street, Manchester; from Mr.
Birch, at Lichfield; or at the offices of the Trent Company. 11,
Bridge-street, Westminster.

THE HAT AND THE SHOWER•

The hat and the show'r, one very wet hour,
Met together to test who had got the most pow'r.
The shower was " heavy," though "light" was the hat,
Yet each one agreed to the fight for all that.
The hat, it appears (as it often had done),
Was boasting concerning E. MOSES and SON,
And boldly declar'd, in an audible strain,
That MOSES fam'd hats are a match for the rain.
"Hold your tongue !" said the shower, "you poor little imp,
You seem rather stiff,' but I'll soon make you limp.
I'll dent in your crown, and I'll soften your brim,
And make you appear in a different trim."
Then the rain " pepper'd" down on the brim and the crown,
While the other did nothing but laugh like a clown.
" Hat" kept out the rain, like a famous " repeller,"
Although the poor " feller" had no umbrella ;
And the hat remain'd " smooth," though the rain was so "rough,"
Till the straggle was o'er, and his foe cried—" Enough !"
"There, I knew," quoth the hat, " how the fight would be won—
I knew you'd no chance with E. MOSES and SON ;
Whose hats, like their garments, are made in a way
Which stamps them, at once, as the first of the day.
You thought that each drop, as it pelted my top,
Would damage my form—but I've made you cry, Stop f'
I knew, all along, how the fight would be won—
I knew you'd no chance with E. MOSES and SON."
The New Work, entitled " The Monarch Mart," with ftill direc-
tions for self-measurement, may now be had on application, or for-
warded post-free.
