The object of the proposed line (for which application will be made
to Parliament in the ensuing session) is to supply an important link
in a communication connecting the town of Great Yarmouth and the
Eastern Coast of the kingdom with the Western, Midland, and
Northern districts, accommodating in its progress the city of Nor-
wich, the town of King's Lynn, Sutton Bridge, and the towns of
Long Sutton, Holbeach, 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 pnrsuance of a pledge given to
the Board of Trade, agreed to carry into effect: thence it will pro•
teed 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 Sleaford with the
Cambridge and Lincoln line.

It is also intended to extend the proposed line of railway from llol-
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, and northern districts of the
kingdom, will bring 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 affor I 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 circumstances, 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 arise, not only from the transit of passengers, but
from the transport of fish, as well as of corn, cattle, and other pro-
duce of the 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 intwest at the
rate of 41. 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.
J. C. Morice, London; Mr. May, Liverpool ; Mr. Anthony Laurie,

London : The Union Bank of London.

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
onmouth, 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
ext 4 nd eastward to Monmouth, and another westward to Brecon.
From Brecon an extension will be made to Merthyr, to join the
Taaff Vale Railway, ending at Cardiff. Thus will be established, in
addition to a free intercourse with more distant localities, a complete
chain of railway communication amongst the important towns and
districts just enumerated, and which are now wb oily unprovided in

that respect. The portion of the line extending westward from
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, iu its report
on the Tying and Oxford schemes, fully reco nised the great im-
portance and necessity of the chain of comma Lion of which the,
present undertaking will form a material link in the following 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 for the construction of the 125 miles of railway intended
to be formed.

Application to be made for Shares addressed to the Directors, at
the Company's Offices, 65, Moorgate-street, London, or to the
undermentioned Brokers :—Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, Thread-

The Caledonian Railway has been recommended by the Board of
Trade as the best trunk communication through Scotland, and may
conflden ly be expected to receive the sanction of Parliament in the
present session.
The proposed Extensions are as follows—first, from a point on the
Caledonian Railway, near Lanark, eastward, along the valley of the
Tweed, by Peebles, Galashiels, and Melrose, to Kelso, where it has
been arranged with Mr. Hudson that a joint station will be formed
with the Newcastle and Berwick Company; and secondly, west-
ward, by Muirkirk to Ayr and Kilmarnock.
A direct communication, northwards and southwards, by means of
the trunk line, will thus be secured to those important districts, the
expediency of which has been pointed out by the Board of Trade,
fbr the full development of the Caledonian system.
Numerous and influential meetim,s have been already held in those
important districts, loudly calling for railway accommodation, and
offering every facility and support.
The Eitension to the east will accommodate the richest agricul-
tural districts in Scotland with timber, slate, coal, lime, and other
minerals, in all which articles they are In themselves wholly desti-
tute ; while the Western Extension of the Caledonian, as well as the
trunk line, intersect tracts of country remarkable for their mineral
resources, but requiring a supply of agricultural produce from the
east, for the Immense population engaged in manufactures and mines.
When Mr. Telford made a survey of a line from Glasgow to
Kelso and Berwick, in 1810, being the first projected railway in Scot-
land, he reported that "it might be easily and cheaply made," and
that "no districts can be better calculated for an interchange of pro-
duce, and for promoting each other's prosperity."
proposed to be passed
oisvewr)n,feet iu a mile, or 1 in 528.
He further remarks that " The whole distance from Berwick to
the water summit being 771,4 miles, and the total rise 753 feet (which
" Inclinations so very easy over such extensive districts of country
than the
undersumm iltonfeo
will enable the intercourse by means of railway to be carried on in
both directions at a comparatively small expense, and it will appear
still more perfect when it is considered that the heavy articles of coal
and lime are all to be passed downwards."
The Western Extension will form the shortest and most direct
communication from Edinburgh to Kilmarnock and the seaport towns
of Ayr and Troon, and thence to Ireland.
The Glasgow, Dumfries and Carlisle scheme, which has been re-
ported against by the Board of Trade, proposed partially to open up
the resources of Ayrshire, but afforded no access from thence to
Lanark and Edinburgh, or to Kelso, and Berwick, whilst the Cale-
donian Extension Railway, in fulfilment of the anticipations of the
Board of Trade, will accomplish all these objects, and at the same
time afford an equally good route southwards.
COST AND SURVEY.
The length of Railway which it is necessary to construct for the
accomplishment of the whole important objects above specified will
he about 104 miles ; and, from surveys already made and an estimate
given by Mr. Locke, the Committee are assured that the Capital of
1,500,0001. will be sufficient to cover the whole expense.
TRAFFIC.
The traffic will embrace-Ist, on the Eastern portion, the carriage
of the whole minerals required for the extensive manufacturing dis-
tricts around Galashiels, Hawick, Melrose, and Selkirk, consisting of
timber, slate, coal, lime, lead, and iron, which must be conveyed to
them on this Railway ; whilst their vast woollen manufactures, con-
sisting of tweeds, blanketting, shawls, plaldings, &c. &c. as well as
raw material, must pass in return; and 2d, the conveyance of
agricultural produce from the highly-cultivated South-eastern districts
of Scotland and Northumberland to the dense population and
mining and manufacturing districts of the West. Upon a calculation,
based upon Mr. Telforl's estimate, it can be shown that, at the
present day, a return of upwards of five per cent. may be reckoned
upon from those sources alone, after deducting forty per cent, for
expenses.

On the Western. portion of the line to Ayr and Kilmarnock, a very
large mineral and goods traffic may be relied on, independent of 'the
Eastern Extension.

From the very highly-important districts which those lines in-
tersect, a very large passenger-traffic may be calculated upon, not
only of a local, but of a general nature.
From these sources the Committee feel themselves justified in cal-
culating on an ample return for the capital required.
The Subscribers' agreement will contain powers to the Provisional
Directors to be thereby appointed to fix the precise extent and course
of the line, and the position of the termini, as circumstances may
render desirable, and powers will be takeu in the Act of Parliament
to grant a lease of the worka to the Caledonian Railway Company at
a rent of four per cent. and one half of the surplus profits.

waite, London, Brokers, 64, Broad-street,

It is proposed to connect with the main line, by means

mineral lines, the produce of their districts to the main line.
The obvi, us importance of such a line to mak e te great mineral
produce of South Wales serviceable to the manufacthuring districts of
Birmingham, as well as to give a cheap and safe conveyance for the
very large quantities of copper, spelter, and other metals, sent from
•
Swansea to Birmingham, Liverpool, and the North, needs no contro-
versy,
and as a Passenger communication between those towns, the
south of Ireland, the North of England and Scotland, avg valu-
able reference m y be made to the Special
Report of the Board of
Trade, of which the following is an extract :
'Worcestershire, South
"The accommodation of Herefordshire,
lines of Railway, will evidently at no distant period, require not only
Wales, and the important districts lying to the west of the present
a wide guage Railway along the southern coast, to place them in
communication with London ; but also a narrow guage Railway to
place them in direct and unbroken communication through Birming-
ham with the manufacturing districts, and the great Railway system
of the rest of the kingdom. The extension of such a Railway would
be greatly facilitated by the establishment of the narrow guage, and
of an interest independent of the Great wester
n in hete Worcester
would be greatly md if that
district ; and, on the other hand,
district were assigned to the Great Western district and to the wide
guage."
It is a well-known fact that the coal In the neighbourhood of Mer-
thyr is supplied as fuel for locomotive purposes on the Great Western,
Bristol and Gloucester, Birminghau and Gloucester. and other i nes
even further north ; the saving in cost of having it so cheap on the
line of Railway is a very great advantage to the proposed line, and
will form no inconsiderable saving in the working of it.
The length of the main line from Swansea through Breco", Here-
ford, Bromyard to Worcester, will be 99 miles; and front Carmar-
then to Llandovery, where the two lines would unite, 24 miles, or
123 miles altogether. By the proposed Railway, the saving in dis-
ance, between Carmarthen to Birmingham, will be upwards of 60
miles, and a correaponding one to all places further north.

VARIOUS OPINIONS!
What thousands of people in all our dominions,
Give vent to their feelings by different opinions !
Such is an undisputed fact: and in good honest truth we feel not
the least surprise at it; but when we can name one subject on which
all the world are unanimous, then indeed we may well express as-
tonishment and wonder, and infer that it must be stamped with ex-
cellence and perfection; and such is the character universally con-
ceded to Ryam's matchless clothing ! It may naturally be asked by
some, " Why does Hyam maintain such unbounded porularity ?"
We gladly reply to this question,—
Firstly. His cloths are purchased from the most noted manufac-
turers in England, and are paid for in cash.
Secondly. Having cloths of a first-rate character, he employs
cutters of immense talent and experience to cut those materials into
the newest style of fashion.
Thirdly. The next essential is " good, substantial workmanship,"
and in this respect Hymn's establishment ranks higher than any other
house in the kingdom.
Fourthly. His clothing is proverbially acknowledged to be " su-
perior" to any other manufactured, and yet it is sold fully 40 pee
cent. cheaper I !
Now, these are the reasons why through the dominion,
Of " Hymn's famed clothes" there's one only opinion !
And that is expressed in a manner so clear,
That unbounded success is his portion each year !!

ROWL AND'S MACASSAR OIL.
Patronised by her MAJESTY and the Royal Family of Great
Britian, and the several Sovereigns and Courts of Europe.
This Elegant, Fragrant, and Transparent Oil, in its preservative,
restorative, and beautifying qualities, is unequalled over the whole
world. It preserves and reproduces the hair, even at a late period of

life ; prevents it from falling off or turning grey; restores grey hair
to its original colour ; frees it from scurf and dandruff, and renders it
soft, silky, curly and glossy. Facts abundantly proved by innumerable
testimonials, which are open for inspection at the Proprietors. It
preserves its virtues unimpaired by the change ofclimate, and is alike
in use from the frigid to the torrid zone—from the assemblies of St.
Petersburgh to those of Calcutta and the remote Fast..

For Children It is especially recommended as forming the basis of
a Beautiful Head of Hair.

Price 3s. 6d. ; Bottles (equal to four small), 10. s. 6d., and

double that size, 21s,
