?THE object of this undertaking is to construct the most
-L direct and perfect LINE OF RAILWAY from the
Town and Port of GAIN SBOROUG H, through SHEF-
FIELD, to the Station of the Midland Railway at
CHESTERFIELD, thereby effecting a more expeditious
and economical communication between Gainsborough,
Sheffield, and the Midland Counties on the one hand. and
between Sheffield and the Metropolis on the other ' • and,
also, to bring into immediate contact the whole of Lin-
colnshire and the Eastern Counties, with the important
Manufacturing and Mineral Districts of Sheffield, Dron-
field, and Unstone.
For detailed Prospectus see LIVERPOOL STANDARD of
September 3 and 10.
The Line will unite with the projected Wakefield, Lin-
coln, and Boston Railway, now merged in the London and
York, constituting, in conjunction with that Line, the
best and most comprehensive system of Railway commu-
nication between the Agricultural Districts of Lincoln-
shire and the Eastern Counties, and the populous Manu-
facturing Towns of Yorkshire and Lancashire.
From a careful estimate of traffic on data accurately taken,
the Promoters feel themselves fully warranted in stating
that a profit of at least £8 per Cent. will be realised on
the proposed Capital, after allowing £4O per Cent. for
working expenses.
Applications for Prospectuses, with Maps, or other in-
formation, and for Shares, (in the annexed Form) are
requested to be made to Messrs. WILSON, YOUNGE, and

THE PAPAL GOVERNMENT.—The political annual for
the Roman States has just been published It contains
the following facts :—On the 18th instant the Pope will
have accomplished his 79th year. He has occupied the
Holy See since the 2d of February, 1831. The sacred
college consists of 60 cardinals, six of whom are cardinal-
bishops, 44 cardinal-priests, and ten cardinal-deacons.
There are still living two cardinals, created by Pins VII.,
Oppizani and Riaiio Sforza, and seven by Leo XII. The
51 remaining were appointed by the present Pope. Mon-
signor Tardini, the oldest cardinal, is 85 years of age, and
the youngest. Monsignor Schwai tztnberg. 35. At the
close of 1813 Rome possessed a population of 170,701 in-
habitants, exclusive of the Israelites.
NEW DOCKS.—The new dock works north end of
Clarence Dock are already actively progressing. Nearly
all the ground is fenced in, and the eastern boundary wall,
as far as Bullen's Mill, is erected. The several occupants
of the houses to be pulled down have received notice to
quit: At the south end of the Brunswick Dock, also,
rctive preparatins are makit;g to commence operations.
H ATS.—The only objection that has hitherto been
! urged against light hats, (for their general adoption more
! than their durability) is that after comparative7y little
wear the grease from the hair finds its way to the exterior,
completely destroying their beauty—but so long as there
is a defect invention will never cease to suggest until the
evil is effectually removed. Ic will be seen by the adver- -
tisement of Mr. Jupp, of Lord-street, than an anti-
grease Paris hat is now offered to the public. It has
been highly approved of in the Metropolis and will doubt-
less be equally received in Liverpool.
IMPORTANT TO THE FASHIONABLE WORLD.—By far
the most influential of the graces that contribute to per-
sonal adornment is the Hair. Its recovery, preservation.
and improvement, proportionably concern the elegantes of
our fashionable circles, and any information which will
ensure these desirable results will be hailed as an inesti-
mable boon. The following r xtract from the letter of a
respectable chemist in Bridlington will be read with the
highest interest :—" A lady, a customer of mine, has
found great benefit from the use of your Balm. About
six months ago her hair nearly all fell off. I recom-
mended her to try your Balm of Columbia, which she
did. In the course of a few applicaticns the hair ceased
to fall off. Before she had used one 3s. 6d. bottle it be-
gan to grow very profusely, and she has now a beautiful
Lead of Hair. I am, gentlemen, yours respectfully,
