Ant this point there are thmn asses, which have imen inspected, 13114 it 'remains for the engineer Ito select 'One as an entrance or passage Into the Valeof the River Dee, when the line will proceed round by Corwen into the Vale of the River Aiwen, from whence it will run nearly parallel with the great Holyhead Mall-c,ach-road, by Pentre voelas to Capel ( 'errig, it will then iescend the Vale of Sant Francon t o Bangor and Holyhead. This line will in its progress feed, and be also fed by the most consi elderable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, aid Bristol ; the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton ; the London and Birmingham ; and the South Staffordshire llallway. 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 not 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 gye 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 ts avellers to complete the entire distaste, in ten hours. It will also ensure two mail deliveries in the day. The list of (Provis ionally Registered.) - T he , applications for shares in this Company is closed.

At Corwen a deviation from the straight hue 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 fes I warranted in anticipating a return of at least ten per cent. on the capital invested. A tr•aty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run powerful rteamers 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 new in active pr gress 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 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 pnblic will find in the improvement of the inferior carriages, and some addith , nal 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 si Bill to incorporate the Company early in the next session. The usual power will be taken by the It_ct 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.

With such important local resources, therefore, together with the vast traffic on which the skareholders of Ibis 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-thin - sof which reach the City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,403 persons daily, half of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City.

The importance of connecting these termini would, al me, be suffi cient to ensure full support to the present undertaking, from the dense population, manufacturing influence, and general traffic of the towns in question ; but when It is considered that this connexion, or junction, stands in the very centre of the entire railway system of England, and that It will complete the chain of railway communi cation and transit between the river Humber, the towns of Sheffield and Macclesfield, the Staffordshire Potteries, the Salt Wiches of Cheshire, the city of Chester, the docks of Liverpool and Birkenhead, Bangor Ferry, and the harbour of Holyhead, the advantages are too manifest to be for a moment questioned. The surveys are now in progress, and will be completed without delay, in order to go to Parliament at the ensuing session.

To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres nfgraux, (the southern boundary of which is within 500 y ard s of the Bank o f England) has been most carefully surveyed and va lued, and the re port of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a eh , __ _, tracrer as i o have induced the itsProviional Committee te determine on purchasing the entire site, and has, therefore, been resolved b, them to in crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0001. The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and mast complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway companies who may co-operate with them, an object which wilt be efinted by opening the very extensive and valuable alluded to, within the centre of the City of Minden. space of ground In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intend ed to embrace that of a branch line to the present station o f the E astern Counties Railway in Shorediteh, which will effect an entir e junction bet ween the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; a n d at the same Thames, and give thee atlord a direct communication between the whole of the rail. fir them a ways, which reach London to the north of the full development to each of their schemes bY creati ng common centre within the heart of the metropolis.

PROSPECTUS, The imperative necessity, alike in a social, commercial, or political point of view, for drawing as closely together as possible the - capitals or England and Ireland, has suggested the formation of the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway,—a line, the value of which it is difficult to over estimate. since it will be found to take a nearly direct course from the English, metropolis to Holyhead. It will pass through or near the populous and noble county town of Shropshire (as yet unprovidA with railway emninuniCation), and will traverse along its whale extent districts second itt wealth, re sources, trade, and commerce, to none in the empire ; befog them more nearly and immediately la contact with London and Dublin, than has hitherto been thought possible. This project is wholly in dependent of any other line already Wire the public, and as it possesses national advantages which none can surpass, must, when carried out, become, without excetior, the most important railway in Great Britain. _ One of the first objects of this Company will be to obtain a most central an I accessible terminus in London, and Farringdon-street has been fixed upon for that purpose. It is proposed to make a tunnel from that point to the Great Western station, from whence the line will be continued in as direct course as possible to Holyhead In its progress it will pass through or near to the following towns; —ltickmansworth, 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 s 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 Birminghain and Gloucester Railroad near to Bromegrove, and proceeding thence to Kidderminster, Britignorth, and Weniock, 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 River Vyruwy, will proceed to Ll4n-y-wuech, Llandrhaladr, PROSPECTUS OF THE lIHONDD A and ELY VX LITE S JUNCTION RAILWAY, GLAMORGANSIIIRE.

Commercial Bank of London National Provincial Bank, Bridgend and Cardiff. ENGINEER—CharIes Edward Bnrnard, Esq. This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Val Hes, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district, ono 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 yvill pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of Glaniorganshire, 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 ite 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 descriptim 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 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 trafffe alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested, as has been demonstrated in every instance whore even tram-roads or canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other less komising vallies in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro ductiOns. Au inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary her 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 This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich ♦ales of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great market town and port of Cardiff, front whence, at present, they may be said to be almost excluded. It Is intended that the line shill commence at Blaen Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by a natural pass between the hills at Yfrwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of six miles) to Latielay-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 round that the country admits of highly favourable gradients, so much so that It is confidently anticipated that the workt will be ezecUted very consiiierably under the advertised ca pital) Tha landowners along the line are favourable to this . undertakinv, and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the Provisional Committee. _ . No Subscriber will bo answerable beyond the amount of his de posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription.

This Railway will commence at the important town of Wolver hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, Trysull and Claverley, to the manufacturing town of Bridgnorth ; from thence it will continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to Ludlow, and there fall into other projected linos to all parts ofEng land, North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty. two miles. It will afford direct communication between Ludlow, Bridgnorth and Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c.; and, by the South Staffordshire Junction Railway, give to those towns and districts the most direct route for passengers and goods to and from the Central, North Eastern and Eastern parts of the Kingdom, and from which those towns have hitherto been excluded by every project of the day. It will convey to the agricultural districts of Herefordshire and South Shropshire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow, coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and the Clee Hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those ne cessary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle, sheep, cider, wool, hops and other agricultural productions, as also timber from the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart of the mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fail to pro duce au immense traffic. To the towns embraced in this line, the value of obtaining thereby, at the cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will be of the ut most importance. One principal feature in this projection is, that as either Ludlow or Bridgrtorth will lie in the direct route of one of the projects to be pro posed to Parliament in the next session, for the most direct commu nication between Ireland and the metropolis, this line will thereby , afford to passengers the easiest communication to and from the cen tral parts of the kingdom. It is satisfactory to the promoters to state that they have the sanc tion of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire Junction, and the Sonth Statibrdshire Junction Companies, and that no project has been announced in competition with its ackuowledgedciaim on public support. _ . _ . The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and can be coptructed at a moderate cost ? and has obtained the approval of the 1 845. lauded interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly pro .teeted.l4 • Until itn Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the Company will be under the direction anti control of the Committee of Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into such arrange ments as shall best serve the intcrt-sts of this Company, and the public, with existing or projected Conipanies,. and also to nominate the first Directors of the Company. - Power will be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow four per cent.
