Commencing at Cambridge, which has now become the traffic , centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to be formed by that Conipany, this llne will proceed to Bedford, there passing near Olney it will cross at or near the 13,11sworth Station of the London and Birmingham Railway, where it will commtmicate with the Northampton and Peterborough line; it will then proceed west ward, crossing the Oxford and Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compton to Stratford-on-Avon, there joining the proposed line from Warwick and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of England ; continuing its course through Alcester, the line will go di rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic for the mineral and manufactering districts of South Staffordshire, Shropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed line does not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does, an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance of the undertaking needs no further comment. Negotiations hare been entered into with the Eastern Coun ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed. An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al cester, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro ceed to Worcester. _ Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.

SOUTH MIDLAND AND NORTH UNION RAILWAY. (Provisionally Registered.) This important line of railway is intended to open a direct commu nication from Staffordshire and the Midland Counties (passing through the Potteries) to the extensive manufacturing town of Sheffield, by means of which it will form the most direct transit for traffic, and the manufactures of all the principal towns, and the agricultural and mineral produce of the conntry contained within its range. The principal object of this railway is, that it will bring the prin cipality of Wales into immediate connexion with the Midland Coun ties, and will form a continuous trunk line from the north-east to the south-west parts of the , kingdom. To the capitalist this undertaking presents a highly beneficial source of remunerative profit, and to the population of the south west midland and northern portions of the kingdom most important advantages. The prospectus, with the names of the Provisional Committee, will be issued in a few days; in the meantime applications for shares in the usual form may be addressed to the Secretary, at the offices of the Company, 23, Finsbury-place North ; or to the solicitor, S.

Capital 6,000,0001., in 120,000 Shares of 501. each. Deposit Si. Sc. per Share. Temporary offices of the Company, 4, Great Winchester-street, This Company is formed for the purpose of carrying into effect an agreement which has been concluded with the Monmouthshire Canal Company for the purchase and transfer of the whole of the important interest of that extensive and valuable property. The Monmouthshire Canal Company was first incorporated by an Act passed in the year 1793. Two subsequent Acts have extended the sphere of the Company's operations, and their present tram roads communicating with most of the great iron and coal works of the district exceeds fluty miles in length, whilst the extent of their two branches of canal is twenty-two miles. During the last forty-five years the concern has continued to be one of a highly profitable description, the average annual dividend paid to the shareholders having been during the whole of that period at the rate of 71. 12s. per cent., and during the last twenty-five years the average annual dividend has exceeded 10/. per cent., being 101. per share on the original 1001. shares. The value of these shares has of course increased with the im proved dividends, and the purchase-money now agreel to be paid for the whole of the canal property is at the rate of 2001. per share. The purchase will secure to the Monmouthshire Railway Com pany the whole of the present profitable trade of the Canal Company, with the certainty of a very great increase therein, as the consequence of the intended application of the modern principle of railway loco motive power to the present tram-roads of the Caual Company. Thus, beyond its prospective advantages, this undertaking is distin guished from most of the numerous projects now before the public, in this—that an immediate return will arise to the shareholders from the present works of the Canal Company new In full operation. For a long time past large sums have been annually expended by the Canal Company in solid improvements of their property. The last projected improvement is the formation of a line of railway upon the modern construction from Newport to Pontypool, a distance of ten miles, and to carry out this object an Act of the Legislature passed during the last session, and which railway forms a part of the highly valuable purchase made by this Company. w a i n lln ou o lessen oft° the n Although by the Newport and Pontypool Railway Act a reduction the l c m s ano bee c n em n p l d n e y, i n this nag ae e tua h l itlzr a t e o e p f aa; h ab e l p e re t per o t t h y e , for it Is undeniable that much of the natural traffic of the Company has been diverted into other channels solely in consequence of the high standard of the rates of tonnage. The recent Act confers on the Company the power which they did not previously possess, of becoming carriers on their lines, and it is only reasonable to calcu late that by the judicious use of this power and the vigorous prose cution of the improvements of the existing tram -roads the traffic so alienated will be recovered, as well as much new traffic created. Thus, whilst the value of the canal property will he materially en hanced, the freighters will at the same time reap all the advantages designed for them in the recent Parliamentary revision of the tondhges. It is further proper to state that the branch lines intended to have been made and purchased by the Canal Company to the iron, coal, and other works, will also be formed, thereby securing a consider able increase of trade upon the main lines. Owing mainly to the obstacles i n the way of cheap and q uick o f Monmouthshire have as yet been transit, the endless resource s in the face of these obstacles, the but very partial developed ; but, lly exported from Newport is not less quantity of Iron now annua than 200,000 tons, and of coal 700,000 tons. trade in the exporta- The port of Newport possesses an extensive from tion of tin plate and fire-brick, in the importation of iron ores l Cornwall, Lancashire, and Cumberland, and of the agriculture per duce from from the western counties of England, together with a cons'd - able and improving trade in foreign and English timber, bark, and Irish provisions. rt Dock form part of Shares to the amount of 20,0001. In the Newpo the purchase of the canal interest. These extensive docks have been constructed in the best possible manner, with a lock capable of admitting vessels of the largest class. In proof of this It may be stated that vessels of 1,080 tons registered tonnage have with ease entered and been loaded in the dock. The Canal Company have not hitherto afforded any accommoda tion whatever to passenger traffic, consequently no revenue has been derived from this usually fertile source of profit, but reference need only be made to the dense resident population engaged in the iron, tin, and coal works 'of Monmouthshire to prove that a very great passenger traffic would be the result of the introduction into these districts of the modern railway facilities. The general extension of railway communication contemplated in the neighbouring districts of Wales and England, will, in connexion with the lines of this Company, most advantageously open to Mon mouthshire uninterrupted intercourse with all other portions of the kingdom. Thus, whilst facilities hitherto unknown will be created for the exportation of the mineral wealth of the locality, the freest admission will be given to the agricultural produce and manufac tures of other parts of the kingdom, for both of which a constant de mand exists in the mineral districts. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to Proprietors in the Monmouthshire Cana', to Shareholders in the Newport, Aber gavenny, and Hereford Railway, and to landowners on the line.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9 , 1815 station, from whence tie line will be continued in as direct a course a s possible to Holyhead In its progress it will pass through or near to the foPowing towns : —Rickmansworth, Chesham, Wendover, and Aylesbury; it will then proceed to within a short distance of Bicester and Deddington, and from thence to Banbury ; it will touch upon Kineton or Kingtown, thence proceed onward to Stratford-on-Avon, approach within a short distance of Warwick, Alcester, and Worcester, where it will cross the Birmingham aid Gloucester Railroad near to Bromegrove, and proceeding thence to Kidderminster, Bridgnorth, and Wenlock, near to Broseley and Coalbrookdale, will enter the Vale of the Severn, which it will traverse to Shrewsbury ; it will thence con tinue its route up the course of the Severn, and passing into the Vale of the River Vyrnwy, will proceed to Llan-y-mynech, Llaurhaladr, and MI chnant, accommodating Welchpool, Oswestry, and Llangollex. At this point there are three passes, which have been inspected, and it remains for the engineer to select one as an entrance or passage into the Vale of the River Dee, when the line will proceed round by Corwen into the Vale of the River Alwen, from whence it will run nearly parallel with the great Holyhead Mail-coach-road, by Pentre voelas to Capel Cerrig, it will then descend the Vale of Nant Francon to Bangor and Holyhead. This line will in its progress feed, and be also fed by the most consi siderable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, aad Bristol; the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton ; the London and Birmingham ; and the South Staffordshire Railway. As this last line will connect Dudley, Bilston, Wednesbury, Walsall, and Lichfield with the Derby Railway and the Grand Junction Railway, it would be superfluous to expatiate on the advantages of bring ing all those important centres of the coal and iron trade and other traffic, and the vast coal and iron fields of Shropshire into close intercourse, and thus establishing the cheapest and quickest means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and the furnaces of Staffordshire, and the markets of Dublin, London, and Birmingham. The success of the undertaking is secured beyond a doubt, by the obvious fact that it will net only bring the richest mineral and manufacturing portions of England much nearer to the two capitals, but it will open for the carriage of the valuable pro duce of these districts the intermediate country not at present pos sessed of any direct line of railway commanication. On the other hand, the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway will give to London and the neighbourhood of Birmingham a route to Dublin shorter by nearly seventy miles than that of any other exist the Committee, unless accompanied by a reference to one or more of the Provisional Committee, Solicitors, or the Engineers : London—Messrs.

It will also ensure two mail deliveries in the day. Up to the point where tke line approaches Corwen, no engineering difficulties are presented. At Corwen a deviation from the straight line may be requisite to avoid tunnelling, after which a straight line will be resumed to Bangor, where that already in construction will be adopted for the rest of the route to Holyhead ; or, if found de sirable, power will be taken in the Bill to continue an independent line by Beaumaris to Holyhead. After a careful investigation of the traffic arising from passengers, the conveyance of mineral and agricultural produce, and the direct transmission of the mails, the Directors fed warranted in anticipating a return of at least ten per cent. on the capital invested. A treaty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run powerful steamers between the harbours of Holyhead and Kingston on the arrival of the trains, so that passengers and merchandise may be booked throughout from London to Dublin, including all the inter mediate stations, and be thus enabled to complete the entire distance in ten hours, without the inconvenience so painfully felt of changing from the conveyance of one proprietary to that of another. The railways now in active progress in Ireland, running from Dublin north and south throughout the heart of the island, render it self evident that the chain of communication between the sister countries is, by this present undertaking, rendered at once complete and intimate to the last degree. As the leading aim of this Company is to save time and distance, every attention of the Directors, and every advancement in science will ho made available to gain the utmost possible amount of speed, com patible with safety, the lines being formed expressly for this end ; while, finally, the very lowest rate of fares will he adopted for both , passengers and traffic, and the pnblic will find in the improvement of the inferior carriages, and some additional comforts for those of the first class, that the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Rail way will be placed in advance of any other now existing, and in all its details will be rendered worthy an enterprise so national in its character. Application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the next session. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at 41. per cent. per annum on the amount of the subscriptions paid up ; and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription.

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 geographical position, need but be mentioned to be appreciated. The name of Birmingham speaks kir itself ; the capacity and value of Boston, as a commercial port, is Sadly increasing, and requires but little enterprise to enable it to compete with some of our best ports. It is proposed that this line should commence at Leicester, where It will form a continuation of the line fr om Birmingham to that town, and proceeding by, or near Melton Ma wbray, Corby, Folkingham, and Donnington, terminate at Boston, Vtin s affording a direct communi cation between Birmingham and its important manufacturing dis tricts, Rugby, the great railway cents e 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. The country is easy, presenting few or no engineering difficulties. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at four per cent. per aisnum, after pa: ;stag the Act, on the amount of the subscription paid up. No subscriber shall be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his sulescription. A. more detailed prospectus will be is isued in a few days, containing the names of many influential gentle men locally interested in the proposed line. A more detailed prospectus will be tea ued in a few days, containing the names of many influential gentlemen locally interested in the pro posed line.

It will pass through or near the populous and noble county town of Shropshire (as yet unprovided with railway communication), and will traverse along its whale extent districts second in wealth, re sources, trade, and commerce, to none in the empire ; bringing them more nearly and immediately in contact with London and Dublin, than has hitherto been Bought possible. This project is wholly in dependent of any other line already before the public, and as it possesses national advantages which none can surpass, must, when carried out, become, without exception, the most important railway in Great Britain. One of the first objects of this Company will be to obtain a most central an 1 accessible terminus in London, and Farringdon-street has been razed upon for that purpose. It Is proposed to mate a tunnel from that point to the Great Western FORM OF APPLICATION. To the Provisional forrecijrs of the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway Company.

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, which is at present without the means of transit for its Immense and valuable products. It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of Glantorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal in im mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly flat, and, obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition to its being of excellent quality for ire* making, as is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdare, is also, like that of those districts, of the very best description for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although P over inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de scription of coal established for steam purposes any other, that the demand for it far exceeds the suPP I Y , and p romises, accord ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super sede all others for purposes of steam navigation. This source of traits alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested, as has been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-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 obtaining its pro ductions. An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by means of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any other line. This line will afford to the increasing populatioa of the rich vales of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great market town aid port of Cardiff, from whence, at present, they may be said to be almost excluded. It is intended that the line shall commence at Blaen Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by a natural pass between the hills at Ffinvd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it will enter the Ely Valley and proceed dowa (a further distance of six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the South Wales Railway, thus openisg a communication under the most advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the porta in the Bristol channel. A preliminary survey has already been made by competent par ties, and it is found that the country admits of highly favourable gradients, so much so that it is confidently anticipated that tae works will be executed very coaslierably under the advertised ca pital. The landowners along the line are favourable to this undertaking, and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the Provisional Committee. No Subscriber will be answerable bey posit the amount of his de posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to whom power is given to allot the Shares, and to apply the funds of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its forma tion, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for in the Act (and in the meantime i s hereby given to the Managing Directors as above), to raise any addi tional capital, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or otherwise, with any other company or companies, and also to nomi nate the first Directors of the Company. In the allottment of Shares, a preference will be given to landowners on the line and other parties locally interested. Prospectuses and Maps may be had of, and applications for Shares may be addressed in the form annexed to, W. B. James, Esq., Solicitor, A, Basinghall-street, London ; to W.
