CAMBRIDGE and COLCHESTER RAILWAY. Capital, 800,0001., in 40,000 Sha' es of 201. each. Deposit, 2/. 2s. per Share. This Company has been formed for making the above line of rail way, and a list of the Provisional Committee, containing most in fluential names, will appear in a few days. This railway will commence at the University town of Cambridge, and proceed from thence to Colchester, passing through or near the towns of Linton, Haverhill, Great Yeldham, Iledingham, and Hal stead, proceeding by Thorp and Wesley to Walton-on-the-Naze. On reference to the map, it will be seen that this line will pass through a part of the country at present unprovided with railway accommodation, and bring the town of Cambridge in close connexion with Colchester, and the fast improving seaport town of Harwich, and by means of the railways already formed and proposed to be fumed, will open a communication with Yorkshire and all parts of the north, with Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Manchester, Liver pool, and other large manufacturing towns, and the rich mineral districts of Staffordshire, the important towns of Birmingham and Worcester, north and smith Wales, and by the Northampton, Ban bury and Cheltenham Railway, with all parts of the west of England, as well as opening a direct communication to the important seaport towns on the eastorn coast. A considerable Parliamentary grant having been made to improve the harbour of Harwich, a Company hes been formed to make large and commodious docks at that place, and from the fact of Harwich being directly opposite the ports of Holland (thus bringing it in fximinunleatical with Me railways In Germany) there is no doubt but that Harwich will become a first-rate sea-tort town for exten sive commercial and passenger traffic, and will be a powerful ilvder to this thus. The town of Colchester is also a sea-port, from which coals and goods in large quantities are supplied to Malstead and the adjacent populous towns and villagc.3, and goods, flour. Malt, &c„ in large quantities are chipped (supplied from the district through which this One is proposed to pass) to London and other places. Therefore this line_will open a eqmmunleation Much needed, and there cannot be ally doillit but that the undertaking is one of great Importance, as affording railway accommodation to a large and po pulous dis trict of country through which it will pass, and that it will pay a good rate of interest on the capital invested From Colchester the line will proceed M the fast-improving and much atimirn4 watpring•pince, Waltan-pn,the-X4e, passing through Thorp and Weeley, and thereby affording ratiwaY accommodation from the Midland Counties to that place of surnmer resort fbr sea • Power will be applied for to allow 4/. per cent. on deposits an all calls until the line is opened. Prospectuses and plans will he forthwith issued, and, in the meantime applications for Shares may be made to -the solicitors, George Weller, Esq. a, King's-sroad, Medford-row, London; George Pell, jun., Esq.

The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail way Company have great satisfaction In informing their subscribers that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional Commit tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of the Thames of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City traffic north of Landon. To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of grouad (the southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of the Bank of England) has been most carefully surveyed and valued, and the re port of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as to have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved by them to In crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0901. The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and most complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway this c ompanies who may co-operate with th em , an object which will be alluded to, within the centre of th e Cit y o f L on d on . In enlarged and valuable space of ground that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties effectedtconjunction by opening wt the h very extensive plan, Railway in Shoreditch, which will effect an entire junction between it is intended to embrace the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same time afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail ways, which reach London tothe north of the Thames, and give lull development to each of their schemes by creating for them a common centre within the heart of the metropolis. Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic which the position of their City terminus wilt ensure to this Com pany, will be added that of those companies also who will eventually co-operate with the North London Junction Railway Company, and the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable line of railway. . . lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district through which this Company proposes to run this kine ; by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed in immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a faci ity of connexion with its suburban localities, necessarily affording it the 'greatest accommodation. With such important local resources, therefore, together with the vast traffic on which the shareholders of this Company have a right to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly anticipated, fully commensurate with the outlay of the proposed capital. That revenue will be derived thus : The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to 3,345, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirds of which reach the City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,400 persons daily, half of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily is 30,§94 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City. Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, now =- accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. From these sources the folling products are derived : rer Ann.

PitOSPECTUS, This undertaking is designed to supply the wants of an extensive mineral and populous district, the local traffic of which alone is ae mitted to be sufficient to support a railway and amply remunerate the shareholders; the line will not only accomplish so desirable an ob ject, but it also possesses the advantage of forming a direct commu nication, by the shortest practicable route, (in connexion with exist ing and projected railways) between two of the most important divisions of the kingdom. It is intended to commence by joining the Gra , ,cl Junction Railway at Stafford, and proceed by Uttoxeter, Rocester and Ashbourne, to a junction with the Midland Railway, the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Railway, and the Amber Gate, Nottingham, Boston, and Eastern Junction Railway, at the general terminus at Amber Gate ; a short branch from Wirks worth will connect the line with that town, and the important lime stone and mineral district connected with it. The line will be about forty miles long, and by its connection with the Midland Railway at Amber Gate, and the Derby and Crewe Railway at Uttoxeter, will be the nearest practicable route from Sheffield, York, Leeds, Hull, the populous mannfacturing districts of Yorkshire and the north and north-eastern parts of England, to the salt districts of Cheshire, the Potteries, Liverpool and North Wales, and by its junction at Stafford with the Shropshire Union Railway, will be the nearest route from those important districts to Shrewsbury and South Wales, and by the Grand Junction Railway to the densely populated districts of South Staffordshire. The district is destitute of water communication, and it is only necessary to advert to a few of the prominent resources of the coun try to shew the magnitude of the local traffic. The price of coals - on all parts of the line is very high, being carted a distance of 10 to 15 miles. The cost of this indispensible article of consumption will be reduced nearly one half, as this line will imme diatel3 communicate with the Derbyshire and Staffordshire coal fields. The line will pass several valuable quarries of Derbyshire marble which is extensively used in all parts of the kingdom, and also nu merous lead smelting works and rolling mills, producing large quantities of pig and sheet lead. It will afford an inexhaustible supply of lime for the highly cultivated land on the banks of the Dove and Southward. It will open the Derbyshire mines to the copper and zinc smelting works in the neighbourhood of Cheadle, and will atlord a direct communication with Sheffield for the articles manufactured at those works, which at present are carted to Derby, a distance of more than twenty miles. -tio Al na r :l a y d b Y e for a u lar e g a e ti c y at a t u le gin tra en ffi t c ed ex b i y sts t h a e th e t i h li e ti n e o s r o tp t , h which i a larg ues e importations of Scotch and Yorkshire cattle will be brought - fat tening on the luxuriant pastures of the Dove, taking in return to the consuming districts, the corn, cheese, wool, and other produce of the extensive and fertile agricultural district which is intersected by this railway. It will bring the already large cheese and cattle fairs of Uttoxeter and Ashbourne into greater importance. The Iron furnaces of South Staffordshire consume annually nearly a million tons of limestone. It is well known that the ironmasters give a decided preference to the limestone of the South Peak, over any other that has hitherto been tried; the very great ffisibility of this stone rendering it peculiarly suitable as a flux for reducing the stubborn iron ores of South Staffordshire, and were it not for the di latory and expensive means of transit, it would now be used to the total exclusion of all other kinds. The proximity of this railway to the iron district, the fact of its entering the limestone range at its most southern extremity, and the advantage of excavating the stone immediately on the line of rails, cannot but insure to it a very large share of that enormous traffic, if it do not engross the whole. The visitors to Dovedale and the Peak are already very numerous. When this line and the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Junction Railway, open this romantic scenery to the industrious arti zans who chiefly compose the great hives of population with which this railway will communicate, and make it easily accessible to this class of persons at a trifling sacrifice both of time and money, the revenue from this source alone during the senuner months will be found to be of no inconsiderable amount. The projectors feel convinced that this railway contains the ele ments of great prosperity, and that as an investment it offers more than ordinary security. The landowners on the line are favourable to this undertaking, and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the Provisional Committee. Arrangements have been made with the Derby and Crewe Rail way Company, who take a portion of the capital, and give the line their support and co-operation. The Committee of Management are fortunate in having secured the valuable s.rvices of Mr. Locke, as consulting engineer, and of Mr. Meeke, as resident engineer, who have assured the Committee that the plans and survey! will be ready for application to Parlia ment the next session. _ .

This line is designed to open a direct communication between the towns of Birmingham and Boston. The advantages to be derived by a rich, progressing, and populous town, such as Birmingham, the great manufacturing centre of the kingdom, having a direct communication with a port on the eastern coast facing the Continent; and that port the nearest to it by geo graphical position, need but to be mentioned to be appreciated. The name of Birmingham speaks for itself; the capacity and value of Boston as a commercial port is daily increasing, and re quires but little enterprise to enable it to compete with some of our best ports. It Is proposed that thfs line should commence at Leicester, where It will form a continuation of the direct line from Birmingham to that town, and proceeding by or near Melton Mowbray, Corby, Folkenham, and Donnington, terminate at Boston ; thus affording a direct communication between Birmingham and its important manu facturing districts—Rugby, the great centre of England, and Boston, their nearest seaport, which eventually must command the traffic of the districts with which it is in connexion and the opposite ports of the Continent. A glance at the map will show how this line is fed, and the tewns in its neighbourhood supplied by railway accommodation by the oin tersectingbthining e its A s c ; ti bu i i t i n s t p h r e o po ev s e ed nt o b f y th t m e s L O c n o d na o p nzd t o l'o c r o k n s l i i ru ne c t n not branch to Grantham. The country is easy, presenting few or no engineering difficulties. Another advantage held out by this project is the improvement of the harbour of Boston, whereby it will be restored to that eminent position it formerly held among the porta and harbours of the kingdom. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow Interest at 4 per cent. per annum after passing the Act, on the amount of the subscription paid up.

The length of the main line is about twenty-four miles, and the branch about ten miles. The project of making a harbour and railway, to escape the dan gerous and tedious navigation to and from Calcutta, is neither new nor uncalled for. The attention of many eminent authorities has been directed to It, who have severally .pronounced it neces sary, practicable, and likely - to be most profitable. And Lord Auckland, while Governor General of India, was so satisfied of the expediency, or rather, the necessity of such an undertaking, as to promise a grant of the land necessary for the works, and to give the sanction of his name and anthority. Great as are the present difficulties and dangers of the existing na vigation, there is no security that at some period or other the channel may not bp totally obstructed and rendered impassable for vessels of any considerable burden, by reason of the shifting and accumulation of sands from powerful inundations and freshes caused or aided by the south-west monsoons. This s that the are Govern. n os te an me le nt of is borne Captain a;mong wwills C. h ß om . Gire theta n enlaw, Esq., formerly Secretary to the Marine Bo ar d , and Captain Lloyd, Marine Surveyor-General. anxious that railways should be established in India. The railway now proposed ought to be the first to be so established, inasma, Is as it has already been surveyed and reported upon by M a j or Boileau, and several officers of the Bengal Engineers ; that it i s very short compared with other projected lines, as being almost esthe from great India native merchants, declare ment,Re centtheoverlaiid European,dis dispatches necessary to any railway that may be constructed in the Presidency of Bengal; and as the whole of the most valuable imports and ex ports of this portion of British India must pass along the line, both for shipment and internal consumption. The country through which the railway will pass is entirely a dead level; and the soil for the most part consists of a hard stiff clay, very excellent for the ma nufacture of bricks, and the construction of docks. It is estimated that (according to " Wilkinson's Oriental Com merce") at the least 3,500 British and foreign vessels will enter the harbour at different periods of the year • that the passenger tragic, with the carriage of goods, h ar b our d ues, &c., will average 273,000/, a year; and, in addition, both the shipowner and merchant will de rive considerable pecuniary advantages. It may be well to enumerate a few of the many important advan tages the formation of this railway will afford to merchants, ship owners, and commanders of Indiamen. At present the pilotage for a vessel from the Sand-heads to Calcutta (taking the average draft of water of each ship at eighteen feet) is about 501., including, lead-money, row-boats, &c. ; by shortening the distance, the pilotage will be reduced in proportion. The fact that ships, daring a period of seven months of the year, viz., from the beginning of April to the end of October, not being able to lie at their own anchors on account of the violence of the freshes and the south-west monsoons, are obliged, in consequence of their insurance, to lie at the Honourable East India Company's moor ing buoys, at an expense varying from thirty shillings to two pounds per day, and that each ship on the average lies four months at the moorings at the rate of 321. per mens., a saving will he effected of 1281. on each vessel. y where marine monsoons, Elto atoms A vessel, under existing circumstances, takes at the least two work will be accomplished with the greatest facility in one month, or even less, by the carrying out of the railway and proposed under taking, saving the great wear and tear (no inconsiderable item), in... months in discharging and taking in her cargo, whereas the salon surance, interest, provisions, and seamen's pay, for an entire monie s at the least. D with part theCOatinndtr south-west vessels have lost, it is well known, from one to f our anc h ors each, are enormously high, the replacing of such necess ary and valuable articles amounts to a very considerable sum ; by th e f ormation of tl.e cables, prevalence o &fe the . ; and ile in e a s proposed railway and docks this item of loss will be avoided. Desertion by the seamen will be averted, w hi c h h as increased to an almost incredible extent of late years, owi ng t o the demand for European sailors for the country trade, an d th e h igh wages sifered Sera. r n ou etr The safety of the vessels will be secured, and the constant lass from the freshes, and plunder by the native crews of the valuable cargoes of the sloops, bhurs, and other river craft, from which vessels are loaded, will be averted ultimately; a saving which cannot be tot. highly appreciated by shipowners and merchants. By ships lying at Diamond harbour, the extra expense of steam tugs will be avoided, averaging for the passage, to Calcutta and back, three days' hire at the present reduced rate of 30/. per day; and all ship passengers will be saved a long and tedious river Jour ney, both ways, with the advantage of being enabled to join their respective vessels at the latest moment. t h ho iLe u s investigate a t t r e ac t t h s the of country The promoters have memorialised the Count of Directors of the It must be borne in mind that this line does not stand in thb same r E e a c s e t iv l e n d di a a sa C t o i m sfi p te a to ly r - y on re t p l l i y e f s i n o b in jec t L e of se t c h r i e s ta u r i y ileita c kii :s ig ie , hrailnld, Est, p l o a n n f on y ln e3 d t , :la position (with regard to the necessity for a report of the engineer great extent, and M ot execution, and, above all, providing a remedy far the at times impassable.

The port of Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports from the manufacturing districts to the north of Europe, and the importance of direct communication from the midland counties to a place so ad vantageously situate cannot be over-estimated. Leicester has, or shortly will have, direct communication with Birmingham, and all the other important towns in the midland district. The Midland Railway Company is extending the communication to Melton Mowbray, by means of its branch from Syston to Peter borough, which passes through that place. There is also a complete line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through Grantham and Folkingham, to Boston, as well as to Spalding, Wis beach, Lynn, Yarmouth, and other important towns in the eastern counties. The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct Union Rail way, by forming a line from Melton Mowbray to Folkingham, will supply the only link wanting to complete a direct through communi cation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worcester, Coventry, and the manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as by means of existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Channel, to that seaport. The length of the proposed line wilt not exceed twenty-six miles ; and as it will pass through a country very favourable for engineer ing purposes, the expense of construction will, it is expected, be less than the usual average. The admirable position of this railway can not fail, it is confidently expected, to command a large return, both in passengers and in goods traffic. The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary plans and sections in ample time for complying with the standing orders, and enabling them to apply for their Act in the ensuing session.
