This project is wholly in e_tb.er. line already before the public, and as it tee uri ,eavantaga whteh none can surpass, must, when tale. IP-, WithoU texeectlea the most important railway One of the first objects of this Company will be to obtain a most central and accessible terminus in London, and Farringdon-street 11:,s bon fixed upon for that purpose. It is proposed to make a tunnel from that point to the Crest Western station, from whence the line will he continued in as direct a course as possible to Holyhead In its progress it will pass through or near to the following towns : —Rickmansworth, Chesham, IVendover, 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 and Gloucester Railroad near to Itromsgrove, and proceeding thence to Kidderminster, Bride north, 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 Vymwys will proceed to Llan-y-myneelt, Llaurhaladr, and Mechnant, accommodating Welehpool, Oswestry, and Llaugollea. 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 Comet' into the Vale of the River Atwell, from *hence it will run nearly parallel with the great Holyhead Mail-coach-road, by Pentre voelas to Capel Cents, it will then descend the Vale of Nant Franco* 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, and Bristol; the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton ; the London and Birmingham ; and the South Staffordshire llailway. An this last line will connect Dudley, Bilston, Wedttesbury, Walsall, and Lichfield with the Derby Railway and the Grand Ju n ction 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 Stallbrdshire, 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 communication. On the other hand, the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway will give to London aid the neighbourhood of Birmingham a route to Dublin shorter by nearly seventy miles than that of any other exht ing railroad ; and finally, enable travellers to complete the entire distance in ten hours. It will also ensure two mail deliveries in the day. Up to the point where the 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 feel 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 Ines he 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 ono proprietary to that of another. The railways new in active progress iu Ireland, running front 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 wave time and distance, every attention of the Directors, and every advancement in science wilt be 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 be adopted for both passengers and traffic, and the public will find in the improvement of the inferior carriages, and some additional comforts for those of the first (less, that the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Rad 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 4/. per cent. per a num on the amount of the subscriptions paid Hp; 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.

Henry James, Esq. .----------._ _ This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Vales, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis tmica from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district, one ot the richest and most important in South Wales, is at present without the means of transit fir its Immense and whic va h luable products. It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of Glarsorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the col at al in and im mense quantities, and laying , ge olo g icall y speaking, nearly f, , obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition I. its being of excellent quality for iron making, as is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdare, is also, like that of those districts, ef the very hest description for steam purposes, being nearly 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 tar exceeds the supply, and promises. accord ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super= cede all others for purposes of steal" navigation. This source of traffic alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested, as kas been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads or canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other less promising allies in Wales than the hodda, which Is cele brated for the v abundance, quality, and facil ß ity n of obtaining its pro ductions. An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu facture ef 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 populatina of the rich vales Ely and Rhondda a mach desired communication with the great m a rket town and port of Cardiff, front 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 Ffrwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of Fix miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication under the most advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports 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 the works will be executed very coneßerably under the advertised ca pital. Tho landowners along the line are favourable to this undertaking, and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on tie Provisional Committee.

The establishment of the above railway will effect two great and important objects :—first, the supply of the metropolis and its vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre sent mode of transit: secondly, by the exclusion of passenger traffic to diminish the risk of accidents. The Booed of Trade, in reference to the latter, have in their report upon the subject, laid great stress on the importance of separating the passenger from goods trains ; and the Select Committee of the House of Commons on the coal trade recommend that every means of promoting a new supply of coal should be encouraged. The existing lines for the north being already crowded to excess with trains of every des's, travelling at velocities varying from fifteen to fifty miles per hour, and new railways being almost daily projected as feeders to the great trunk lines, the already prodigious traffic on those lines must be still further augmented; so that it may be truly assumed, that the addition thereto of several millions of tons of coals and goods is out of the question. It, therefore, becomes manifestly necessary, with a view to public convenience, and to supply the metropolis and the intermediate districts with coals from the coal fields in the north, from which at present the greater proportion is supplied, that an independent railway, d ev oted exclusively t o the conveyance of coals and goods at a moderate and regular speed, should be constructed from Newcastle to London. It is, therefore, intended to confine this railway to carriage of coals and goods only ; and it is ascertained that the conveyance by railway of large quantities, for long distances, at a moderate speed, and at comparatively low rates, will be as profitalde as the carriage of passengers at a greater velocity, The actual ex. perience of the London and Birmingham Railway affords a safe ground for calculation; the expenses on that line for the year 1844 being 1,472/. per mile; at the same rateper mile, 2,000,000 tons of coal annually may be brought the entire distance from Newcastle; this quantity is about one-half of the present importation from London, making on the average from 13,000 to 14,000 tons daily. The extreme fluctuations to which the price of coal is sailed from irregularity in the supply, dependent as it is on the uncer tainty of the winds and weather, has hitherto operated against the cstabishment of manufactories on the banks of the Thames. Front the same cause, also, London has, at times narrowly escaped total darkness, the gas works not being able to obtain their regular supply of coals. In the course of the last five years the prices of household coal, on the Coal Exchange, have fluctuated between 14s. Gd. to 9.75. per tots, and last winter the price rose even to 355. per ton ; the high prices always occurring at a season when the scarcity, and consequently increased price of coal, is most distress ing to the poor. The removal of the colliers from the Pool Is an important con sideration, as it will necessarily render the navigation of the Thames safer for all other vessels; and it is no valid objection ------- e s lh - LD and LIVERPOOL T HE liUDDERSI the employment of collier ships , b ecause it is now ascertained, Le- DIRECT RAILWAY, By Rochiale, Bury, and Bolton, formine the shortest practicable yond all doubt, that coals can be brought to London by railway at route from Liverpool to Leeds, Hull, and Gook. 20 per cent less than those seaborne; and, therefore, London %sill (Prooisionally Registered.) be supplied from Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and South Capital 1,250,0001., in G 2,500 Shares of 201. each.

It will commence at a point of junction with the Brighton and Lewes Railway at the town of Lewes, and proceeding by tke Valley of the Ouse, pass by llckfle ld a nd Rotherfield, thence follo win g the valle y to Groombridge, proceed to Tonbridge Wells, and there form a junction with the Tonbridge Wells branch of the South-Eastern Railway. The length of the line will be about twenty-two miles. The neces sity and advantages of this line of railway are sell-evident —it will connect Brighton immediately with the populous and fashionable noighbonthood of Tonbridge Wells, and mor• mediately it will conthe - nec t Southampton, Portsmouth , C hichester, and the ports of western coast of Sussex, with the Important of towns Maist e one, Ch a th a m, Rochester, Canterbury , and Dover; tints e ffecting th greatly desired object of the shortest and most rapid communication between Dover and Southampton. The internal communication between Kent and Sussex will be thus rendered complete. The following towns and populous villages are in constant trading communication with Lewes and Brighton, and will be accommodated by this line :—Barcombe, Ringmer, Isficld, Little Horsted, Uckfield Maresfield, Frampileld, East Hoathly, !kitty - field, Withyham,Wadhurst , Newhaven, and Harbour, Waldrou, Flctching, BUXied, Rotherfield, Lamberhurst, Frant, Ticehurst, Groombridge, Hartfield, Ashurst. The existing local traffic w ill thus be alone sufficient to prove highly remunerative, exclusive of the great passenger and goods traffic that must of necessity slow into this course as soon as the ne cessary accommodation is afforded. Detailed traffic tables are in course of preparation. The preliminary surveys have been com pleted, and no difficulties, engineering or otherwise, present them selyes, but, on the contrary, this railway will be of facile construc tion, and easy gradients The landowners generally are favourable to this line, to which they have pledged their support. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at the rate of 4 per cent. on all paid-up calls from the passing of the Act until the completion of the line, and the liabbity of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of the subscription. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company will be under the control of the Committee of Management for the time being, 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 formation, and in the preparation of the plans and sections t 9 be submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime is hereby given to the Committee of Management, as above, to raise any ad ditional capital, to abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements with any other company or companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of :he Company.

This C•mpany 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 Liverpool, and proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester. Railway to within a short distance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off, in a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, Knutsford, 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 other railways, 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 important intermediate manufacturing districts. The most important feature in this railway is that it forms the shortest road front Liverpool to London. The distance by it, with the Manchester and Rugby, and London and Binninelnun, will be only 188 miles, whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and by the Trent Valley Railway 20034 miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles ii one instance, and 1230 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 advantlee 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 these towns are but the foci, as it were, for other railways from still more distant localities, as before adverted to. The distance also Item Manchester to Leek (where the proposed railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) will be about 30 miles, and from Leek to Derby about 2634 rn making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only 5614 miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communi cation between those important towns by about 28 miles, an objec most desirable to be attained, and of itself quite suffici ent to recom t 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. Te distance from Liverpool to Leek (the R proposed point of junc tionh with the Mai chester and Rugby Direct ailway) is 47% Milt 5; 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 188141 ; thus making, the whole distance from Liverpool to London Imiles, 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 importance of the towns proposed to be brought into communication with each other, in order to convince the minds of all that the source of revenue thus derived will be immense. There are no engineering difficulties connected with the forming of the line. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now paid until the Act of Parliamerent is 2 obtained, and power will be t ak e n in the Act to allow 41. p cent interest on all calls.
