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 bri•+ging 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
principal 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 shareholder; 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.

TIE 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 MO-4ES 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,"
'fill the straggle was o'er, and his foe cried—" Enoi.gh l"
"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 r ,
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 fall direc-
tions for self-measurement, may now be had on application, or for-
warded post-free.

The objects of this undertaking are to provide the shortest prac-
ticable route betwixt the towns of Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds,
and the most direct and independent communication to the Midland
Railway, and thence to the metropolis. and the south ; also to open
the rich and extensive coal fields which abound the whole length of
the line.
This project will effect a junction with the Manchester and Leeds
Railway, near to the Wakefield station, and by means of a short
branch, join the Midland Railway near the Oakenshaw station.
• The station of this line at Wakefield will be situate in Westgate, in
tile heart of the town, and the railway will pass from thence along
the Wrenthorpe Valley, by East Ardeley ant: Churwell, effecting
at this point a junction with the Leeds and Dewsbury line. From
Churwell the route diverges by Fernley, passing between Black-gates
and Nisbet-hall, south of Fulneck to Leister Dyke, and thence to
Bradford, where a junction will be effected by means of a branch
with the Leeds and Bradford Railway, and its extension, thus afford-
ing the best means of outlet to Bingley, Keighley, Skipton, Kirby
Lonsdale, And to the west and north-west.
In addition to the importance of establishing the most`direct practi-
cable communication betwiitt the abo-e-mentioned towns, this pro-
ject possesses within itself the elements of one of the best paying
mineral lines in the kingdom, passing as it does through rich and
extensive coal fields, extending the whole length of the proposed
rente, great portions of which are already in course of working, and
will, by the favourable gradients of this line, be readily transmitted
not only to Bradford, and the north-west, where fuel is much re-
quired to meet an increasing demand, but also to the eastern coast.
It must be evident to any one conversant with the position of the
town of Bradford, that notwithstanding the importance to which it

has so rapidly risen. independent of ordinary facilities, either from
inland na- igation, or communication by railway, it has not hitherto
received that consideration to which it was entitled, and it is only
fair to assume that had it possessed the same advantages of direct
intercourse as other inland towns, its commercial prosperity would
have still more advanced.

Irrespective, however, of the importance of this line of communi-
cation to the town of Bradford, and viewing it in connexion with
other existing and projected lines of railway, it presents a most
important link in the chain of communication for passengers, mine-
rals, and general mercantile traffic, from Bradford to the metropolis,
and the south, and betwixt the eastern and western coasts. It will
also be the most available source for the transit of wool and general
merchandise from the eastern coast and the south to Bradford, and
for limestone, iron, slates, cattle, and other produce from the west
and north-west, to the south and east.

The important corn and cattle markets of Wakefield will, by this
project, be the means of diffusing still greater advantages to the most
densely populated districts of the West Riding. The facilities of
transit for horned cattle from the north and north-west to Wakefield
have hitherto been extremely limited, whilst the purchasers of grain
from Bradford, Keighley, and the surrounding districts have, for the
want of a more direct route, been debarred from availing themselves
of tho most extensive home corn market in the kingdom.
The advantages arising from this undertaking are equally calcu-
lated to benefit the manufacturing interests of the town of Leeds,
which will alike share with the towns of Bradford and Wakefield, the
shortest availableroute, not only from the eastern coast, by means of
the Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole Railway, but also from the
south by means of the projected communication with the Midland
Railway, near to Oakenshaw.

Vien;ing this line as a completing link in the chain of communica-

....
tion, not only between the towns of Bradford, Wakefield and Leeds,
but also as effecting a junction between the Midland,lVakefle'd, Pon-
tefract, and Goole, Leeds and Dewsbury, West-Riding Junction,
Leeds and Bradford Railways, and the proposed extension to
Keighley, Skipton and the North-West, this railway will be the
means of connecting a greater number of lines, at present alike se-
vered, and unavailable to each other, than, perhaps, any other single
project of the like extent.

- The facilities for accommodating the local traffic will best be
exemplified by the following table of distances

Court House, at Bradford.

These are points with respect to distances (taking into account
the peculiar features of the country), between the important towns
of Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds, which will bear comparison with
the best laid-out lines in the kingdom, whilst in cost of construction
this project may be as favodrably compared with any existing or
proposed line in the West Riding.

Irrespective, however, of the local traffic which must necessarily
pass along this line, as the shortest route betwixt the towns of
Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds, and apart from the minerals which,
by its means, must find an outlet to the Wakefield, Pontefract, and
Goole, Midland, York, and North Midland, and Hull and Selby Rail-
ways, the staple trade of Bradford will receive an invaluable ac-
quisition.

About 200,000 packs of wool are annually sent to the town of
Bradford, for consumption in the worsted districts of the West
lading, upwards of two-thlrds of which are derived from the south
or south-east, and would, therefore, pass along this railway. Similar
remarks will, to a f reat extent, apply to bale goods, oil, groceries,
and general merchandise.

The gradients of the lie will be peculiarly favourable, admitting
of an almost level plane of nearly five miles in extent in the centre,
with descents in no instanee exceeding one in one hundred towards
each terminus.

By the proposed Act the liability of Shareholders will be limited to
he amount of their several subscriptions.

Application for Shares may be made to the Secretary In the fol-
lowing form :--

WAKEFIELD, AND MIDLAND RAILWAY.

This Company is established for the manufacture and sale of the
Concentrated Essences of Tea and Coffee under Staite's Patent, by
licence from the Patentee.

The advantages peculiar to the process for which this patent has
been granted, are very numerous ; but among the most prominent is
this, that while the properties of the material are completely ex-
tracted, its available quantity is augmented, and its virtues improved.
The distinctive qualities of the Essence obtained are, the retention
of the identical flavour and fragrance of the particular Tea or Coffee
used, and a degree of strength secured before unknown:
The method employed in preparing and putting up these Essences,
secures them against injury from the lapse of time and change of
climate, affords the greatest possible facility for portability and im-
modiate use, and so reduces the price to the consumer, that economy
itself furnishes an ample guarantee for their extensive use.
One teaspoonfal of the Essence, in a cup of boiling water, will be
sufficient for the instantaneous production of a cup of tea or coffee of
the finest quality.
The following certificate from Dr. Ure is, with satisfaction, sub-5
joined :

" I hereby certify, that Staite's Patent Essence of Tea is a pure and
wholesome beverage ; and that is is extracted by a peculiar process,
which, while it excludes in a great measure, the bitter and astringent
matter always present in the teapot, preserves and refines all the
exhilarating and aromatic principles of the Chinese herb. Being put
up in Mr. Rand's Collapsible Tubes of pure tin, it will keep un-
changed for any length of time.
(Signed)

"ANDREW URE,

"Analytical Chemist to the Board of Customs, &c., Sc'e."
The Committee have also thought it right to have the samples of
the Essences submitted to high and unbiassed authorities in the Tea
Trade. The following testimonial from a well-known and eminent
Judge is the result:—

•J. Bland having tested the samples of the concentrated Es-
sence of Tea, manufactured under Staite's Patent, pronounces them
clean, full and perfect.

" By whatever process the Extract is obtained, the aroma is finely
preserved, and without the crude or fibrous property which ordinary
methods of maceration or evaporation would exhibit; the distinctive
flavours of Pekoe, Souchong, Congou, &c., are completely preserved,
so that even critical judges of the article would not be able to tell any
member of cups of the diluted Essence apart from others infused
after the common method. This result may be regarded as the
acme of the invention, and its greatest protection and recommenda-
tion.

"The Coffees, extracted after the same patent, are rich and aro-
matic in flavour, and brilliant in colour : perfectly pellucid, without
the slightest sediment—whilst the distinguishing properties of the
Mocha, the Mountain Berry, and other known peculiarities, are so
naturally developed as of to be mistaken.

LEA. and PERRIN'S WORCESTERSHIRE
SAUCE is pronounced by connoisseurs to be " the only
good sauce" for enriching gravies, or as a zest'for fish, curries, coups,
game, steaks, cold meat, &c. The approbation bestowed on this
sauce having encouraged imitations, the Proprietors deem it necessary
to caution purchasers to ask for "Lea and. Perrin's Worcestershire
Sauce," and to observe that the same is embossed on Bett's metallic
capsules, which they have adopted as a protection to the public.
Sold, wholesale, retail, and for exportation, by the-proprietors,
Vere street, Oxford-street ; Crosse and Blackwell, Soho-square ;
Barclay and Sons, Farringdon-street ; and by vendors of sauces
generally.

ETTS'S PATENT METALLIC CAPSULES
II possess the following properties, and are now practically
admitted to be the only security for effectually preserving the con-
tents of bottles, jars, pots, &c.
They are applicable to these vessels, of every size anti shape, from
the smallest phial to the mouth of a jar or pot three inches in
diameter :

They are made of a metal free from every impurity, non-corrosive
in its n.ture, and consequently, not subject to oxidation, nor pervious
to moisture.

They preserve the Contents of the vessels to which they are applied
perfectly air-tight ; thus securing them from becoming vapid, mouldy,
or fetid.

They effectually protect the Corks from the ravages of insects, and
the noxious influence of the musk rat and other vermin.

They supersede the use of wire, wax, bladder, &c., and the uni-
versally acknowledged inefficiency of tin-foil ; the capsule being made
of solid metal, has not only sufficient strength of itself to secure effer-
vescing liquids, but is much handsomer in appearance than the above
useless tinsel, besides having' the advantage of being applied with
much greater ease and rapidity.'

They have also the very hn-portant property of affording absolute
security against the possibility of fraudulent substitutions.
In addition to the advantages before enumerated, the use of the
Capsules prevents the liquid from oozing out of the mouth of the
bottle, completely removes all cause of complaints (particularly in
tropical climates), against the adhesion of the wax and other coating
matter, to the lingers, when the cork is extracted—staining every-
thing with which it comes iu contact ; and prevents the falling of
such offensive matter into the bottle or glass, which frequently dete-
riorates, and even destroys, the natural properties of the liquid.
Exporters desirous of availing themselves of this valuable inven-
tion, in giving their orders for Wines, Ales, Porter, Cider, Preserved
Fruits, Vinegar, Pickles, Sauces, Chemicals, .Oils, Mustard, Ink,
Blacking, &c., &e., need only direct their tradesmen to cover the
bottles, or other packages, with the Patent Metallic Capsule, which
will not incur extra expense.
Further particulars may be had, and orders received, at the Manu-
factory, No. 1, WHARF-ROAD, CITY-ROAD.
