It is proposed t• make a tunnel from that point to the Great Western stat on, from whence the line will be continued in as direct a course as poss,ble to I lolyhead In its progress it will pass through or near to the following 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 Itromsgrove, 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, Llanrhaladr, and Mtchnant, accommodating Welchpool, Oswestry, and Llangollea. 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 rant Fraucon 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 italway. 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 elsvious 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 and the neighbourhood of Birmingham a route to Dublin shorter by nearly seventy miles than that of any other exist 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 he resumed to Bangor, where that already is 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. Atter a oerefnl investigation of the traffic arising from passengers, the conveyance of mineral and agricultural produce, and the direct transmission of the mails, the Directors fe , I 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 arri, al of the trains, so that passengers and merchandise may be booked throughout from London to Dublin, includiag all the inter mediate stations, and be thus enabled to complete the entire distance in ten hours, without the incon7enience so painfully felt of changing from the conveyance of one proprietary to that of another. The railways new in active pr press 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 Direoturs, and every advancement in science wil: 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 pnblic will find in the improvement cf the inferior carriages, and some additi .nal comforts for those of the first k lass, that the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Hall way will be placed in advance of any other now existing, and in all its details will be rendered worthy an enterprise MO 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 a num on the amount of the subscriptions paid up ; and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount aids deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription.

SECRETARY-401111 Vethcrick, Esq., pro tem. This Railway is projected fer the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Vallies, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis tance from the Port of Cardiff; and t. open a new mineral district, one of the richest and most important In South Wales, which is at present without the means of transit fir its immense and valuable products. It will pass througb 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, nearly flat, and, obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition te Its being of excellent quality for iron making, as is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdare, is also, like that of those districts, of the very best descripti.m for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although inflamntable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de scription .f coal established for steam purposes over any other, that the demand for it far exceeds the supply, and promises, accord ing to the *pinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super sede all others fbr purposes of steam 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 Tallies 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 ether line. This line will aford 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 Rlaen 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 six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication under the most advantageous circumstances as to distaice, 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 coasiderably under the advertised ca pital. The landowners along the lino are favourable to tills widertaking, and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on time Provisional Committee. No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his de posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount et his subscription. Until an Aot 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 Sham s, and to apply the funds of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its forma tter', 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 is 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.

William Polhill Kell, Esq., Lewes Robert Foreman, Esq , Solicitor, Tonbridge Wells Benjamin Hall, Esq., Buxted Ledge, near Uckfleld. This railway is projected to form a direct communication between Brighton and Tonbridge Wells. It will commence at a point of junction with the Brighton and Lewes Railway at the town of Lewes, and proceeding by the Valley of the Ouse, pass by ITckfield and Rotherfield, thence following the valley 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 self-evident—it will connect Brighton immediately with the populous and fashionable neighbonrhood of Tonbridge Wells, and more inediately it will con nect Southampton, Portsmouth, Chichester, and the ports of the western coast of Sussex, with the important towns of Maidstone, Chatham, Rochester, Canterbury, and Dover; thus effecting the greatly desired object of the shortest and most rapid communication between Dover and Southampton. The internal communication between Kent and Sussex w,ll 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, Isfield, Little Horsted, Uckfleld Maresfield, Frampfield, East Iloathly, Mayfield, Withyham,Wadhurst, Newhaven, and Harbour, Waldron, Fletching, Buxted, Rotherfield, Lamberhurst, Frant, Ticehurst, Groombridge, Hartfleld, Ashurst. The existing local traffic will thus be aluno sufficient to prove highly remunerative, exclusive of the great passenger and goods traffic that must of necessity flow Into this course as soon as the ne cessary accommodation is afforded. Detailed traffic tables are in course of preparation. Tho preliminary surveys have been com pleted, and no difficulties, engineering or otherwise, present them aelyes, but, on the contrary, this railway will be of facile construc tion, and easy gradients The landowners generally aro favourable to this line, to which they have pledged their support. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to anew interest at the rate of 4 per cent. on all paid-up calls from tke passing of the Act until the completion of the line, and the liabLity 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 incured in its formation, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to Le 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 railway will commence at the station of the Monmouth and Hereford and Worcester and South Wales Junction at Noss, pro ceeding through a rich agricultural district, now devoid of railway accommodation, to Ahergavenny, and ftom thence by Llanelly, Nant-y-Glo, Tredegar, Ehbw 'Vale Rumney, and Dow lais to Merthyr Tydvil, at which place it will j o i n the Taff Vale Railway. The dis tance will not exceed 41) miles. On reference to the map it will be seen that this line, in conjunc tion with the proposed Worcester and South Wales Junction, via Ledbury, Malvern, and Ross, will perfect a continuous and direct communication from Merthyr Tydvil to London, Gloucester, Bir mingham, South Staffordshire, and the north. The population of Merthyr, and th e surrounding m i ne ral districts exceeds 120,000,•and this line will place it in direct connexion with the agricultural counties of Monmouth, Hereford, and Worcester. The line will be laid down so as to render the greatest accommo dation to the principal ironworks iu the district through which it will pass, and a saving of ten miles over any other line will be effected between Merthyr and Worcester, and other places north and east of that city. Arrangements are in progress with the Worcester and South Wales Junction Railway Company, for the mutual advantage of both Companies.

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 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-=lx 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 bets: eels 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 from Liverpool to London. The distance by it, with the Manchester and Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will he only 188 miles, whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and by the Trent Valley Railway 200 1 / i miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles ii one instance, and 12 1 h 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 these towns ale but the foci, as it were, for other railways from still more distant localities, as before adverted to. The distance also ;rem 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 261 snaking 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 object most desirable to be attained, and of itself quite sufficient to recom 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 Rails% ay, it will also be the most direct route from Liverpool to Lor.don. The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of junc tion with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 4714 mike; 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 importance of the towns proposed to be brought into communication with each other, in orderto 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 Parliament is obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent] interest on all calls. Applications for, detailed prospectuses, maps, and shares, may be made to tha Secretary, at the offices, 28, Moorgate-street, at Mr. Bethel's Offices, 78, King William-street, City, London; and at 22, Cross-street, Manchester, and the following Share brokers:--Messrs.

Mr. William Barker, New-street, Huddersfield. Messrs. Brook and Freeman,l The object of this undertaking is to forne a continuous line of rail way from Leeds to Liverpool, by extending the lines already made, or sanctiored by Parliament, from their respective termini at Hud dersfield, in Yorkshire, and Bury, in Lancashire, through the inter vening country between Huddersfield and Bury, for which extension a line of railway only 25 miles in leng th is requisite. Thepp line will commence at the Huddersfield station, between which place and Leeds, Parliament has already sanctioned the :ormat e ion of rail ways, and from Huddersfield the proposed line will proced by way of Hillhouse, Birchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along the valley between Stainland and Greetland, through liark'sland, the Yale of Ripponden, and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lancashire, where it will join the terminus of the Liverpool and Bury line of railway. In addition to completing a direct communication from Liverpool to Leeds, Hell, sad Goole by the shortest practicable route, and by a much smaller outlay of capital than by any other proposed line, it will provide for a large and important manufacturing population, hitherto without the advantage of. railway accommodation, an outlet to the south by means of the Huddersfield anti Sheffield Junction Railway, and to Manchester and North and South Lancashire by the railways a b o ve mentioned, and b y the Leeds and Manchester Railwa y , b y a proposed junction therewith at Rochdale. This line when completed will, in addition to a s to the advantages e which It presents as a through l in e , pa s s through succession of a largeofvalleys thi c kly studded with mills and manufactories, consuming quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought from a distance, and transmitting to other districts the produce of their in dustry, for which purposes a line of railway has became absolutely necessary, and there can be no doubt that an ample return will be realised for the outlay of capital required. The distance bets en Huddersfield anti Rochdale by the present line of railway is thirty miles, which by the proposed railway will be reduced to seventeen miles. The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the right of haent - tering into any arrangements with existing railway companies t may appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Par liament to allow interest to the shareholders at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum on the amounts paid on their sliareisniilwoi: the respective times of payment to the times of spenin.gbtloine'd form, to Applications for shares may be addressed, in the u any of the undermentioned Sharebrokers,3vrirz.—Messrs.

In consequence of the great number of applications for shares in this Company which are daily received limn all parts of the country, the Provisional Directors feel it necessary to call the atten tion of the Public to the following Clause in the Prospectus, to the terms of which they will, in allotting the shares, be compelled most strictly to adhere:— " As, under arrangements entered into with the Lynn and Ely, Ely and ;Huntingdon, and Lynn and Dereham Railway Companies, a large proportion of the capital has been appropriated to the holders of shares in those Companies, a very limited number of shares only is at the disposal of the Provisional Directors, and no application for shares therefore can he attended to, except from parties locally in terested and of the highest respectability.

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 Bosrd 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 class, 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, devoted exclusively to 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 profitable 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 1,4721. per mile; at the same rate per 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 subject from irregularity in the supply, dependent as it is on the uncer. tainty of the winds and weather, has hitherto operated against the estabishment of manufactories on the banks of the Thames. From 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 list five years the prices of household coal, on the Coal Exchange, have fluctuated between 14s. 6d. to 275. per ton, and last winter the price rose even to 555. per ton ; the high prices always occurring at a season when the scarcity, and consequently increased prico 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 -to this undertaking, that it will supersede, in a great measure the emplOyment of collier ships, because it is now ascertained, be yond all doubt, that coals can he brought to London by railway at 20 per cent less than those sea-borne; and, therefore, London mill be supplied from Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and South Wales, unless the present project, or one offering equal advantages to the northern coal-owners, in their certain and fast approaching compelition with the Infant collieries, be carried into effect. In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afforded to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods, which will mwerially increase the revenue of the Company. .200,000 shares of Th e estimated cos t a n et the e the line is 5,00 O 0,0001, t and the traffic, in rel ine is capital c; coa i l t s iaslopnreo,posssieldl g 251. each ; deposit f2l. 125. 6d. per share, the subsequent calls t o b e toraise made in the usual way. The customary clauses will be inserted in the Act, limiting the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their respective shares. Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum will be allowed on all calls between the passing of the Act and the opening of tha railway, The Committee, with the view of enabling responsible psrtics (desirous to participate in the allotment) to secure at least some shares in this great undertaking, will permit the payment of a pre.. liminary deposit of 10s. 6d. per share previous to application being made; and will guarantee that the parties so paying, shall have shares allotted them, to at least the number upon which the sum paid by them as a preliminary deposit, shall cover the full deposit of 21. 12s. 6d.
