Watts, Galsworthy, and GaLsworthy, 19, Ely. place, Holborn SzcaETasT—Samuel Stanway, Esq. • The first line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Loughborough station on the Midland Counties line, and pro ceed through the Yale of Sheepshead, to Pegs Green Colliery, near to the terminus of the Leicester and Swannington Rail was, and from thence through the coal-fields of Swannington and Cole-Orton to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It will thence proceed across the Moira Coal-field and through the rich agricultural districts of Seal, Clifton Campville, and Edingale, to the Birmingham and Derby Railway, which it will cross near to Elford Park Farm, and thence traverse the Valley of the Tame until it reaches Alrewas, where it will form a junction with the branch of the Trent Valley line now in progress of making. At this point it also meets the proposed South Staffordshire line, by which means it reaches Lichfield, and by means of one of the proposed lines it will afford communication with Bir mingham. From Loughborough the line will be further continued to A sfordby on the Syston and Peterborough Railway, now in progress, and by means of this latter line, a direct intercourse will be opened with Melton Mowbray and the various towns through which that route passes to Peterborough. By means of its junction with the Trent Valley line at Alrewas, the Grand Trunk reaches Colwich, and there meets the proposed North Staffordshire line, which proceeds through the heart of the Potteries to Newcastle - under-Lyre, Leek, and Macclesfield. By means also of the same Trent Valley line at Alrewas the Grand Trunk pro ceeds through Rugeley to Stafford, thus completing its route, and forming a connecting line between the Midland and Grand Juaction Railways. This branch of the line was formerly surveyed by Mr. Rastrick, and approved of by him as a canal communication, so that no engineering difficulties exist. The second line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Derby station, and taking the course of the Derby Canal proceed to Chellaston, where there are extensive plaster-works, and thence by Swarkestone to the river Trent, which it will cross near to the ferry at Weston Cliffe, and so proceed to Kings Newton and Melbourne. From the latter place it will pass by the village of Wilson to Breedon-on-the-Hill, where there are extensive lime-works, and thence proceed by Staunton Harold, communicat ing by a branch line with the lead, lime, and coal works there ; thence by the Lount Colliery to Worthington Rough, where it will follow the line of the Cole-Orton and Swanning - ton Railway until its junction with the first line of the Grand Trunk at or noar the Pegs Green Colliery, and so proceed from thence to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. At Ashby-de-la-Zouch the Grand Trunk forms a junction with the proposed Nottingham and Birmingham, and with the proposed Great Manchester, Rugby, and Southampton Railways. Its importance as a line for passengers is too obvious for comment, forming as it does a complete junction between those two great thoroughfares, the Mid land and Grand Junction Railways, and by its branch from Derby to Ashby-de-la-Zouch another complete junction between the Great Northcutt and Southern lines now in progress, thus opening a direct line of communication to all parts of the kingdom. As a line for traffic, the Grand Trunk will form the most direct transit to the Leicestershire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire iron and coal fields, to the Burton breweries, to North and South Wales, and Ireland to Scotland, and all parts of the north, and to the eastern, southern, and western parts of the empire. It will also be the nearest and most direct communication from the east to the north western manufacturing districts, as well as become the great route from all parts of the kingdom to the midland counties of England. The mineral resources are of the very highest order. The Moira coal-field is inexhaustible, whilst the coal-beds at Staunton Harold alone comprise the finest quality of Kennel to a depth of seven feet, with a super stratum of main coal to a depth of six feet. The sub stratum is yet to be worked. There are beds of Kennel and main coal at Cole Orton of equal quality, though net of equal depth with those of Staunton Harold, whilst the main coal at Swannington is un rivalled, being, in fact, the bowl of the Leicestershire and Derbyshire coal strata. It is needless to describe the beneficial results which must arise from this opening of the midland coal district to the Lon don and southern markets. At Staunton Harold and Calko exist rich veins of lead ore, now in full course of working. The properties of the Breedon, Staunton Harold, and Ticknall lime are so well knowu to agriculturists and others, that an extension of traffic for so valuable a commodity into mare remote districts must be of the utmost importance to the practical farmer. In approaching the Trent, on leaving the lime district, the Grand Trunk will fall in with most valuable quarries of millstone grit, ser viceable for paving and building purposes, and for which a ready market would be found along the line. The country also abounds in gypsum, of which immense quantities are used in Birming ham and elsewhere: these markets will thus become opened for the quarries at Chellaston. A new and extensive outlet will also be opened for the earthenware of Wooden Box and Grlesley Potteries. Until the Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs will be under the control of the Committee of Management, to whom power is given to allot the shares and apply the funds of the Company in payment of all proper expenses in the formation of the Company and otherwise. Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime the Committee of Management take power, to alter or extend the lines, to make branch lines, to abandon any part of the line, to raise addi tional capital, and to enter into arrangements with any other Com pany or Companies.

Thus a direct communication will be formed between the important towns of Nottingham, Newark. and Lincoln on the one Ate, and Birmingham, Coventry, and Warwick on the other side, at tke pane time supplying a rich mineral and agricultural district with railway advantages. A reference to the map will show that this railway will also co la . mand other collateral advantages.

The Rugby, Derby, and 3lanchester Railway is a direct line from London to Manchester, coming from London to Rugby, along the London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby is Hinck ley through Market-Bosworth and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to Derby, thence to Ashbourne, by Leek to Macclesfield, and along the Mac clesfield 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 be tween 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 between Manchester and Derby, and will consider ably shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham and Manchester and Leicester. The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi cation from that town to London, which has been so long considered desirable by the inhabitants. The same will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester field branch of the North Midland Railway is made. The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, In connexion with the Oxford and Rugby, and Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Rail way, forms a direct Manchester and Southampton line. THE GREAT ADVANTAGES Of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, ever the other pro jects into Manchester, among others, are— First. That there are only seventy-five miles of railway to be made in place of one hundred and eighty-nine. Second. That it is a more direct line from London to Manchester than even the proposed direct linos Third. That it interferes with no existing railway property or vested interests. Fourth. 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 intercommunica tion for the conveyance of that agricultural produce, to supply the large manufacturing towns in the vicinity—has been hitherto left to tally without railway communication. Fifth. That it passes through the towns in its route, instead of avoiding them. Sixth. That the whole line of railway from Rugby to Manchester will be completed and in working order within ten months from the passing of the Act of Parliament. Sevenths. 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 Parliamentary offices, on the 10th of November next, being twenty days within the time required by the regulations of Parliament. In the allotment of shares a preference will he given, to the ex tent of 10,000 shares, to the holders of stock in time London and Bir mingham Railway ; also, of 2,000 shares to the shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Railway Company; of 1,000 shares to the Oxford and Rugby Railway Company ; and 2,000 shares to the Manchester and Birmingham Railway Company. RUGBY, DERBY, AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY. No' ice is hereby given, that the last day for receiving applications was Friday the 19th, and in consequence of Ape great number re mitted far eTceecling that to be allotted, no others call possibly be fCeilTdp W ARWICKSHIRE and LONDON RAILWAY. TO SORIPHOLDERS. In consequence of modifications of this line, rendered necessary the decisions of Parliament in the late session, and of the increase of the Parliamentary deposit required by the New Standing Orders, the Provisional Committee find,it necessary to call in the scrip hitherto issued, for the purpose of replacing it by new scrip, to require an ad ditional deposit of 12s. per share, and to cause new deeds to be pre pared for the signature of the Proprietors. Parties to whom scrip has been issued are accordingly requested to send in their scrip, on or before the first day of October next, to the Secretary. New letters of allotment will at once he issued to such of the present holders of scrip so sent in, as were original sebscribers for their shares; but when, the scrip has changed hands, satisfactory references as to the responsibility of the holders 'will be required by the Directors before new letters of allotment can be issued ; on the additional deposit being paid (in accordance with the new letters of allotment), and the new deeds being executed, the new scrip will be issued. On and after the 10th of October next, the present scrip (unless it shall have been sent in to the Secretary, and received by him pre viously to that day) will be considered as cancelled, anti the shares it represents will be re•allotted. Parties sending scrip are requested to write their names across each scrip certificate for the sake of security, and to send by a post letter, at the same time that they seed their scrip, a list of the number of the scrip they have dispatched, with their own name, residence, and (if necessary) that of their reference.% attached in full to the end of such list.

This undertaking will com plete a series of great avenues of iron-road, whose ramification from Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly accessible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where it will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches Stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at Bewdley. This district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge a little to the east, the line is taken to Rriclgenorth, a town enjoying an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron works, that give employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, from which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wein enters Whitchurch. Front this central place a branch will be formed to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitchurch, and passing through or near Malpas, have its northern terminus in the city of Chester. . _ in estimating the probable amount of revenue which th e Worces ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, m any sources of profit present themselves, such are the dense population located along the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry in which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned the china manufactories of Worcester, the iron, coal, and earthen ware works at Broseley and other places; the agricultural produce brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal and mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridge, and the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally. In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are also obvious. The line traverses a district affording levels of several miles in extent, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found better qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many.other localities. ♦s a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary to elillting or pro t lectoci lines passing In 1741101/4 directigns, flew schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater inducement for investment, or a wider range of accommodation for trait and travelling. This project constitutes a lengthened link in the chain that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk of the West of England ;—its southern terminus, Worcester, Is the kali way station of the London and Portdynnllaen broad gauge line : by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded west ward to Swansea and Aberystwith, and, eastward, to Warwick and Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lynn, Lincoln, and Hull. The line has been repeatedly and careildly examined by the Com pany's acting engineer, who reports that the rail for many miles may ho laid on the natural level—that the gradients are in every in stance favourable—that the geological structure of the districts to be traversed Is equally so, and that the want of such a line of com munication is acknowledged by the interests seated on its proposed course.

This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Vaßies. with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district, one of the richest and most important In South Wales, winch to at present without the means of transit for its immense and Yaluable products. _ It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of Glamorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the, coal in im mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, noUly fiat, and, obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. Th.s coal in addition to its being of excellent quality for iron making, rs is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdeen, is also, like that of those districts, of the very best deseription for steam purposes, being ne:trly smokeless, although inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de scription of coal established for steam purposes over any other, that the demand for it far exceeds the supply, and promises, accord ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super sede all others for purposes of steam navigation. This source of traffic alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested, as has been demonstrated in every instance where even train-roads or canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other less promising vallies in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of •btaining its pro ductions. An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the mann faetnre of iron and for agricultural purposes) may bo obtained by means of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any other Una. This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich vales of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great market town and port of Cardiff, from whence, at present, they may be said to be almost excluded. It is intended that the line shall commence at Bitten Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down to a natural pass between the hills at Ffrwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the Sough Wales Railway, thus opening a communication under the most advamtageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the British channel. A preliminary survey has already been made by competent par ties, and it is found that the country admits of highly fiwourable gradl rents, so ranch so that it is confidently anticipated that the work s will be executed very considerably under the ad - tertised ca pital. Th landowners along the line are favourable to tbil undertaking, and t he names of many influential proprietors will be found on the Provit tonal Committee.

The itavortance of connecting remote parts of England by Rail ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns and districts, can scarcely be better exemplified than by the Line which is now proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter course between Oxtbrd and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines now before the public will make Oxford at the north, and Salisbury at the south of the intended Railroad the central points from which various radii will diverge to the north-west, north, and north-east of the former, and to the east, south, and west of the latter; and the proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the course of Railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, requires the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to the western and south-western counties. The Oxford and Salisbury Direst Railway, in addition to the benefits which will be conferred apou the nation at large, by preferring a direct line of coraninnication be tween the north-eastern and western and south-western parts of Englund, will afford to the borough of Abingdon, the market towns of Wantage, Ilungerford, mid Ludgershall, and the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they are seated stand in much need, and will provide a futility for The Interchange of produce be tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the kingdom. The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of Abingdon. Their means and opportunities of competing with the more fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di rect channels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same remark applies in some degree to the market town of Wantage, which, as well as Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced by railway traftle. It has therefore been determined to commence the propeoeill ne at Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail road to London. By continuing the projected railway to Wantage, the sane facility of transit to London will be afforded to that place ; and a perfect line of road from the north-eastern counties will, by a junc tion with the projection Irons Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, through the towns which have been named, Htmgerlord and Ludgers hall to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western porta and dis tricts. A map of the line, and a statistical report of the whole country intended to be traversed, is in course of preparation, and with the names of an influential provisional Committee, will very shortly be published. In the meantime, further information may be ob tained from Messrs. Elmslio and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street, London, solicitors to the undertaking, to whom, at prenent applica lion fur shares may be made.

This Company is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to Derby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest route from Liverpool to London. It will commence at Llverpool, and proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to within a importance of the Winston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off, in a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, Knuteford, and Congleton to Leek (there joining the Manchester and Rugby Rail way), and from thence through Ashbourne to Derby. The whole length of the proposed line will be about sixty-six miles. It will be seen by reference to the map that this important line of railway will form the shortest route from Liverpool to London and effect a direct chain of communication between Liverpool and Derby, and will thence, by means of the Midlands and otherrailways, open an unin terrupted route to the more eastern counties, and afford a complete midland communication between the eastern and western parts of the kingdom and the importantintennediate manufacturing districts. The most important feature in this railway is that it forms the shortest road from Liverpool to Londolt. The distance by it, with the Manchester awl Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will be only 188 miles, whereas by the prusen.t route it is 210 miles, and by the Trent Valley Railway 200% miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles in one Instance, and 12% miles in the other. And as regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole distance between Liverpool and Derby will be reduced by this line to about 74 miles, thus decreasing the distance by any present existing railway, at least 46 miles ; an advantage which carries in itself the conviction of the necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to connect more immediately two such important towns, especially when those towns The distance also from Manchester to Leek (where the proposed localities, as e as fo b ci ef , o a r s e i a t d w ve e rt re, ed fo ti, r . other railways from still more cll yno s its t uti a; c it i railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) will be about 30 miles, and from Leek to Derby about 26% miles, etoao°nlnlilrecom nmsenloiat s k eots i making desirable eii t i h tdaw e btel h w ee nut h sot o e e o, :ca d iisats,aihjencrer thefai r t, o l n o l dwoi . 3 fnt f :i a : r b : coy c el h fa e s bqbyu t o e ivat r nte t ys o 2uBpifir D mec e stie r lee obi sufficient mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial results. But great as these results most certainly will be, they are far out weighed by the very important consideration that, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway, it will also be the most direct route from Liverpool to London. The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of junc tion with the Manchester and. Rugby Direct Railway) is 47% miles: from Leek to Rugby, according to the line as proposed by the Man chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and from Rugby to London 83 miles; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to London 188% miles, instead of 210, by the present route. With regard to the traffic and other details connected with the working of the line, It seems only necessary to revert to the great 22, North importance of the towns proposed to be i b n io p ue s. h a t r! h d it s o h c a o r m ,4B m : o call obtained, o w t i with revenueeac o t t i h m e s r , d i e n ri o v r o d d e w r to il o ld ttibiotit.ii,ciemnvii ltiea connected J.sliiih m :lnKaaAecoc i liii n lln.kt d btgedK: s etit o :iwi, f :::ll:lti a t ll adohaijoelfi t :tgo h ru t i,:s t e4: t tlrtt.rtilfh th lioeipaiettnlit e oentiather:B so .:icicyn:ftr u eglti, r ii,titsi c eoyliti( a :.f,.:.
