MANCHESTER CONNEXION RAILWAY.
CAPITAL, £200,000, in SHARES of £5O.
DEPOSIT, £1 PER SHARE.
THE object of this Company is to construct a Railway to
unite the various Railways commencing or terminating in
Manchester.

The length of the Line would be about one mile and a half,
but to communicate with the Manchester and Leeds Railway
the Line would have to be extended in a north cast direction,
about one mile. 1./
Passengers or goods arriving at one of the stations could be
immediately forwarded to any other of the stations in the same
carriages in which they had been travelling, consequently no
shifting of luggage nor unloading of goods would be necessary ;
and passengers coming from any part of the eastern side of
Manchester could travel direct to any part on the western side
with the same expedition and despatch as upon the main Lines
of Railway.
The Railway would be constructed upon arches, and it would
pass over all the streets at such an elevation as would leave
them ample clear space both as to height and width.
The course of the Line would be through property of a very
inferior description, and no mill. manufactory, warehouse, or
building of importance would be interfered with, and it is very
remarkable- that a Railway can be got through the very heart as
it were, of such a town as Manchester, with so little prejudice
to property, and a great many of the mills, manufactories, and
warehouses might be made to communicate directly with the
proposed Railway, at a comparatively trifling expense.
A valuation of the property that would be required for the
formation of the Railway has been taken; and, from an ap-
proximate estimate, it appears that the Line, of about a mile
and a half long, might be constructed for about £230,000, but as
several appendages to the Railway would be required, such as
additional stations, locomotive engines, &c., the capital will be
£300,000.
Application for Shares may be made to Messrs. PRI TT, CLAY,
and SWIFT, Solicitors, Liverpool.

KENT RAILWAY COMPANY.
THE Engineer having completed the surveys of the Ken!
Lin; the Directors are enabled to point out the course i
will take.

The line will leave the Greenwich Railroad at Deptford, and
pass through Greenwich, Woolwich, a little to the north of
Dartford, over the Medway, half a mile above Rochester-bridge,
'close to Sittingbourne and Canterbury, through Fordwich, to
Ramsgate, with a branch a little west of Sandwich to Deal, and
before entering Deal, the Line proceeds to Dover.
The distances by the proposed Line are—
To Rochester.. ,
52791 miles.
Canterbury .
Ramsgate 73 $,
Deal. 75 „
Dover B3 „
With the exception of three-eighths of a mile at Greenwich,
where the gradient is 1 in 27. and two miles where it is 1 in 300,
no gradient will exceed 1 in 330, or sixteen feet per mile.
From Greenwich to beyond Gravesend, except at one point;
also from Canterbury to within a mile of Ramsgate, and from
Canterbury to Deal and to Dover, will be nearly level.
Near the crossing. of the River Medway is a curve, of three
quarters of a mile radius : excepting this, the smallest radius
will be a mile.
Near Ramsgate will be a tunnel, a quarter of a mile long;
and the whole length of tunnelling throughout the line is not
Likely to exceed a mile and a half in four separate tunnels, with
the advantage of lighting and airing even these short lengths.

BY A RECENT DECISION of the Court of Directors,
Persons who now effect Insurances with this Company for the
iihole Term of Life, will participate in the Profits, after having
paid FIVE ANNUAL PREMIUMS, without incurring the
responsibility attached to Societies for mutual Insurance.
The BON US of £1 10s. per Cent. per Annum, declared on
Policies in the year 18.31, was added to the Sums insured, and
the present value of such Bonus may either be received by the
parties, or applied in reduction of their future Premiums.
The BONUS on Policies now in force, including the Pros-
pective Addition recently declared, amounts in many cases to
TWENTY PER. CENT. ON THE SUMS INSURED,
and will increase Annually, until the next general appropria-
tion of Profits, in the year 1811.
Policies ejected before the 31st of January, 1837, will have the
advantage of participating in the next general appropriation of
Profits.
Every description of Insurance may be effected with this
Company, at REDUCED PREMIUMS, when persons do not
participate in Profits.
When persons wish to discontinue their Insurances from any
Cause, the Company will purchase their Policies upon equitable
terms.
Prospectuses containing Tables of Premiums, and Examples
of the different modes in which the Profits can he applied, may
be had at either of the Company's Offices, or of any of the
Agents in the principal Towns throughout the Kingdom.
