THIS undertaking is projected sy,th the support of the
most influential Land-owners and Merchants along
the Line, and is intended to afford the towns of Douglas,
Passage, Monkstown, Carrigaline, and Kinsale, the its,
portant advantages of Railway communication with the
city of Cork.
The dist►ict for eight or ten miles south of Cork is
thickly populated by the better classes of society ; and the
delightful watering-places of Passage and Monkstown are
amongst the best and most respectably frequented in Ire-
land. There are in the course of erection numerous vil-
las and dwellings in the neighbourhood ; and the lieport
of the Irish Railway Commis.ioners, published in 1837,
states, that in traffic and returns, a line of Railway be-
tween Cork and Passage will greatly resemble the Dublin
and Kingstown Railway.
The extensive fisheries of Kinsale, and its connections
will the city of Cork, and its advantages as a watering-
place, render it of the highest importance to increase fa-
cility of communication, and more esr.ecially as the pro-
jected Railways to the inland districts north of Cork will
make the town of Kinsale easy of access to the inhabi-
tants t,f those parts.
The district over which this Line will pass has been
sum yed, and been found to afford levels giving great fa-
cilities for a Ralway. The Preliminary Surveys are com-
pleted ; they show that the Line may be constructed at a
moderate outlay, and will, when made, allow of travelling
at the highest rates of peed.
The city of Cork and its suberbs contain a population
of 166,055 persons, and the town of Kinsale 7000 per-
sons.

The towns of Passage and Monkstown together con-
tain a population of 2,259 persons. The other towns and
parishes through which the Line passes (exclusive of the
population of the before-mentioned towns) conta'n
22.570 souls. The peninsula formed by the Carrigaline
River and Oyster Haven. the only frequented road from
any part of which now lies by Carrigaline, contains a po-
pulation of 11 556 persons.
Large quantities of limestone from the quarries of Car-
riga:ine, sea-sand, and sea-weed, both from Kinsale and
Cartig,line, ere taken and distributed in the districts
through which this Line is proposed to pass, and form an
important consideration in the anticipated traffic on this
Railway.
The weekly traffic in passengers between Cork and
Passage was in the year 1836, as shown by the Irish Rail-
way Commissioners' Report, 6,800 persons. Of these
6.800 persons, many pass to and from Monkstown, which,
with the large number at present passing to and from
Carrigaline, Belgooly, and Kinsale, will no doubt be
greatly increased.
The Railway Commissioners' Report further states,
that the exports and imports of Kinsale exceed 15,000
tons, to which may be added the traffic to and from the
several flour-mills alone the Line, seven in number, capa-
ble of manufacturing 80,000 barrels of wheat annually.
The Income thus to be deri•ed from Passengers, with
that derivable from the Carriage of Goods (even taking
the latter as low as one-and-a-half per cent.), will render
this undertaking, making every deduction, productive of
a profit of from eight to nine per cent.

the Soticitcrs and the Secrc'tvy.

THE RUGBY, DERBY. AND MANCHESTER
RAILWAY is a Direct Line from London to Man-
chester, coming from London to Rugby along the London
and Birmingham Line, and proceeding from Rugby by
Hinckley through Market-Bosworth and Ashby-de-la-
Zouch, to Derby, thence t) Ashbourne and Macclesfield,
and along the Macclesfield and Stockport, and Stockport
and Manchester Railways, into Manchester.
A Branch to Buxton is in contemplation.
The principle of this railway is to obtain a direct through
line between some of the most important districts in the
kingdom with the least possible amount of new railway,
and consequently the smallest expenditure of capital.
It will also establish the shortest direct communication
between Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and
between all the towns on the North Midland Railway and
London.
The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway will open
a direct communication br tv ern Manchester and Derby,
and will considerably shorts the distance between Man-
chester and Nottingham arid Manchester and Leicester.
The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct
communication from that town to London, which has
been so long considered desirable by the inhabitants.
Thr same will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and
Chesterfield branch of the North Midland Railway is
made.
THE GREAT ADVANTAGES
Of the Rugby, Derby and Manchester Railway, over the
other projects into Manchester, among others, are—
First,—That Cher. . are only seventy-five miles of Rail-
way to be made in place of one hundred and eighty-nine.
Secondly,—That it is a more direct line from London
to Manchester than even the proposed Direct Lines.
Thirdly ,—That ,it interferes with no existing Railway
Property or Vested Interests.
Fourthly,—That it passes through a district rich in
Manufactures. Agriculture, and Minerals, but which—
more especially as regards its agricultural produce, and a
convenient system of intercommunication for the convey-
ance of that ~gricultural produce, to supply the large ma-
nufacturing towns in the vicinity—has been hitherto left
totally without Railway communication.
Fifthly,—That it passes through the towns in its route
in place of avoiding them.
Sixthly,—That the whole rite of Railway from Rugby
to Manchester will be completed and in workirb, order
within ten months from the passing of the Act of Parlia-
ment.
Seventhly,—That the Maps, Plans, Estimates, and
other Documents required by the Standing Orders of
Parliament, will be lodged with the Parish Clerks, the
Clerks of the Peace for the Counties, and the Parliamen-
tary Offices, on the 10th day of November next, being
twenty days within the time required by the regulations
of Parliament.
In the allotment of the Shares a preference will be given
to the extent of 10,000 shares to the owners of Stock in
the London and Birmingham Railway, also of 2000 shares
to the Shareholders of the Southampton and Gosford
Railway Company of 1000 Shares to the Oxford and Rug..
by Railway Company, and 200 Shares to the Manchester
and Birmingham Railway Company.
Applications for shares to be made to the solicitor of the
Company, or any of the agents or local solicitors of the
Company ; but all such applications mustbe accompanied
by a reference to a member of the provisional committee,
or Banker, Solicitor, or Stockbroker.
No applications for shares will be received after Friday
next, the 20th September instant.

York and North Midland, and Midland Railways; and
from Selby proceeds to Goole, where it communicates
with the Wakefield, Pontefract. and Goole Railway, and
from Goole proceeds to Brigg in a direct line, accommo-
dating, by a branch, the towns of Thorne, crowle, and
Doncaster ; at Brigg this Railway commuic.rtes with the
Sheffield and Great Grimsby Railway, and by a direct
branch from Market Rasen to New Holland, forms a di-
rect line from Hull to London • from Brigg this line pro-
ce,ds to Boston by the towns of M irket Raven, Wragby,
Horncastle, and New 80l ngbrok, with branches from
Wragby to Lincoln, and from Wragby to Louth; from
Boston this Railway will connect itself with such line, or
lines, as shall be, or are, now constructed to London, or
will form a direct and independent trunk line from Bos-
ton, as shall, weighing ad the circumstances of the case,
be found most advisable.

The line throughout is, practically speaking, a level,
and little more will be required than the fencing of and
laying down the line of Railway.
A certain number of shares will be reserved, in the first
instance, for the landowners and others having local in-
terests in the line, and a certain number of shares will
also be reserved for such of the various Railway Com-
panies with which this Railway will form a junction or
are friendly to the interests of this Company.
Applications for shares and prospectuses may be made
in the subjoined form, to the Solicitors or Agents, and to

THIS Company will transact all the usual business of
Assurance Companies, and in so doing will take
advantaze of the modern improvements which have been
engrafted into the systems of Assurance, the result of
the long-rested experience of old-e:tablished Offices for
the Assurance of Lives.

Thus, Assurances will be granted upon the payment of
one single Premium, or of Annual Premiums, or upon a
limited number of payments, on a gradually decreasing
or increasing scale, all of which payments may be made
half-yearly, or quarterly, if more convenient.
Assurances will likewise be granted from £5,000 down-
wards to any amount, thus opening the door of Assurance
to many persons who have hitherto found it inaccessible.
The Company will also undertake the purchasing of
contingent and reversionary Property, the granting of
immediate Survivorships and Deterred Annuities, as,
also, the endowment of Widows and Children. It will,
likewise, advance money on annuity, mortgage, or other
security.
The multifarious operations connected with Life Assu-
rance; for instance, the opportunities afforded to Hus-
bands and Fathers of making a provision, after their
death, for their Widows and Children; to Creditors, to
compensate the loss which the death of their Debtors
might occasion; in Marriage Contracts, to secure the
terms of Settlement; to the possessors of Entailed Es-
tates, to provide for the younger branches of their fami-
lies; to persons possessed of Life interest in Pi operty, to
provide for their relatives in case of their decease ; to ex-
pectants of Property in Reversion, to insure a portion of
it against contingencies; together with many other in-
stances which might be enumerated, seem, of late years,
to be better understood than formerly. It is with a view
to facilitate these operations that the SOVEREIGN LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY has been formed; and it will be
found that it offers to the public a new system of Loans,
more beneficial to the Borrower, and yielding a better
return to the Shareholder, than any system at present in
use.

Thus, any person effecting an Assurance with this
Company, can borrow THIZ FULL AMOUNT of the sum
secured by the Policy, upon giving collateral security for
the payment of the Premium, and interest on the Loan,
for a limited number of years, and will not, as in ordi-
nary cases, be liable to be called upon to repay, in one
sum and by a given day, the principal money lent.
In order to effect this, the Borrower will pay an in-
creased rate of Premium beyond what would be required
for the ordinary Assurance of his Life, which increased
rate, together with the accumulations by way of interest,
which the operations of the Company will enable it to
realize, will, in effect, repay the principal aunt to the

bCeormeipiany in any given number of years, at the option of
Borrower, who will, at the expiration of mesh period,
eve.' from all further payments in respect of the
tioan, and will,
nzeover, hold a Policy with the Com-
-Loch he

mencement of the original Loan.
In case the Borrower sle,uld die during the conduit.
ance of the Loan, he will not leave his property encum-
bered with a debt ; but, on the contrary, bis repre,enta-
fives will be entitled to receive the amount. secured by the
Policy, after deducting a sum equal to the unliquidated
portion of the Loan. Or if, ..t any time, he should wish
to pay off the Lean to the Society, he cats do so upon
advantageous terms.
* For example, a person aged twenty-five. who wishes
to borrow £lOO, to be liquidated in fifteen years, will
have to insure in the Society to the amount of the Loan,
and will pay an Annual Premium for such Assurance of
£7 9s. 10d. in addition to 5 per cent. interest upon the
Loan, making a total ennui! payment of £l2 9s. 10d.,
for fifteen years only. It is obvious that the longer the
period during which the Premiums are payable, the
smaller will they be in amount.
Should the Borrower survive the period for which the
Loan is contracted, he wid, by these payments, have li-
quidated the principal sum lent, and wi!l posse's a Policy
of some years' duration for £lOO, which he can, if he
chooses, continue at the ordinary rate of Premium.
If, on the other hand, the Borrower should die within
the period assigned for the continuance of the Lean% say
in the tenth year, he will not leave his property incum-
bered with a debt of £100; but, on the con,rary, his re-
presentatives will be entitled to receive £6l 126. 9d., the
then value of his Policy.
Or again : if at the same time (during the tenth year),
he shauld desire to pay off his Lean, he will have to pay
to the Society no more than £3B 7s. 3d., and, still re-
taining his interest in the Policy, will be discharged from
all further payments beyond the ordinary rate for Assu-
rance. _ _ _ _

The examples above given are deduced from the Tables
of the Society, a reference to which wilt show the rela►,ive
Premiums payable at different ages for Loans of different
durations. _ _

It may be observed, also, that persons who have no
desire to retain an interest in their Pot:cies for the benefit
of their relati,ins, can insure at a much lower rAte than
persons who, as in the above examples, retain an interest
in their Policies, both during the continsance, snd after
the termination of the period for which the Loans are
contracted.

The advantages which this system offers to persons re-
quiring temporary Loans, or wishing to pay off existing
charges on their property, are numerou", and only require
to be fully known to be duly appreciated. First of all,
the Borrower in this Society will be saved the expense of
frequent transfers, as is the case with those who borrow
from the usual sources ; for he can in no case be required
to pay off the Loan, except in the manner proposed, al-
thoogh, if he chooses, he can do so upon most advan-
tageous tern a to hiMself. Seclndly, he has no appre-
hension, in case o' his death, of leaving a sum to be paid
' by his surviving relations, or to remain as a charge upon
his property, for the Policy repays that porton of the
Loan remaining unpaid in case of death; and, whenever
that event may happen, he is certain that his family will
reap some, and perhaps great, advantages from the Policy
which he holds in the Society. And lastly, this system
enables the Company to accept securities which would
not be available for the purposes of ordinary Loans, in-
asmuch as the only security required is for the punctual
payment of the Premium and Interest, and not for the
principal sum lent. It is needless to remark, that many
persona can furnish security, in the manner proposed,
who could not provide it •or repayment of the whole prin.
cipal money by a given day.
For example, a person desirous of entering into busi-
ness, but deficient in the funds wherewith to do so, can,
by effecting a Loan for a given number of years,—paying
in the meantime a Premium out of his profits, which the
Loan from the Company has been the means of realizing,
—sunply himself with the necessary capital to commence
with, and thus lay a foundation for a pi ospereus business
and an ultimate independency. Again, a person desirous
of purchasing the house in which he resides, or one more
suitable to him, cen borrow of the Company the purchase•
money, and by paying a Premium for a !nited time, in-
stead of rent to his landlord, will, after the termination
sf such limited period, be the absolute oniner of the pro-
perty free from rent. And lastly, in all cases of settle-
ments on marriage, compositions of debts, arrangements
with creditors, &c., a person can avail himself of the
advantages off,red by this Company, to obviate the first
great difficulty attendant in many cases upon such tran-
sactions, viz.—the want of ready money,—which defi-
ciency, the experience of many can prove. has often ren-
dered nugatory those efforts, which, in all probability,
would otherwise have been crowned with success.
In addition, however, to the large number of Assn-
rances which may be expected for the immedists purpose
of raising Loans, an equal inducement is held out to
persons desirous of effecting Assurances, wheise object is
to provide for their relatives, and who may not, at the
time they effect the Assurance, require a Loan.
By assuring w'th this Company, persons will not only
effectually provide fcr their families in case of death, but,
at the same will furnish themselves with the means,
at any period of life, on any emergency or revere of cir-
cumstances, of raising a Loan to the amount of their
Policy, at the rate of Premium, in respect of their Life
Assurance, at which the Policy was originally granted ;
thus securing to those who effect Assurances unconnected
with Loans, the whole of the advantages of the ys!em of
LOan proposed by this Company, whenever they have
-occasion to avail themselves of it. _

The profits of the Company will appertain to two
classes of members—the proprietors of shares, end the
secured. Thu pc c.fato
and the policies connected t herewim h, together with a small
proportion cif the profits arising out of toe Assurances
unconnected with Loans (by way of remuneration to the
Shareholders for guaranteeing out of their capital, in case
of need, the payment of Assurances falling due), will,
after paying interest upon the paid-up Capital of t.te
Company, be divided amongst the hAders of shares in
the Company. Three-fourths of the profits arising from
the Assurance Department, unconnected with Loans,
will the divided amongst the parties, either originally
effecting Assurances, or who shall hold Assurances after
the liquidation of their Loans. This distribution holds
out to tie Shareholder, in addition to interest upon the
capital invested in shares, the prospect of a large remu-
neration; as also to the assured, an ample participation
in the profits arisirp, frotn the p 'yturrit of premiums;
which must necessimily be augmented, by ti,e falling in of
Policies into the Assurance Department, after the liqui-
dation of the Loans originally granted upon them. The
Assured. also, will have the security of a large subscribed
guarantee Capital, to meet their claims upon the Com-
pany.
