Besides this saving of actual distance, the tedious stoppages at Masborough and Normanton, the delays of which are often equal to twenty miles of travelling, will be avoided, A careful survey has been made, by an experienced surveyor, who reports that the line ftom Wakefield to Silkaton will run with easy gradients nearly on the surface of the ground for the greater part of the way; and that the only work of any mag nitude will be a tunnel, about six hundred yards long, at Woolley. common, which will occasion in the approach to it from Wake field an ascending gradient of 1 in 105. The works between Silkaton and Wortley are of a heavier character, but in no part will the gradient be more than lin 112. The ruling gradient will be about 1 in 180. This undertaking, in connexion with other railways, is in tended to accomplish the following very important objects :—First, a direct line of communication between London and Leeds, the Northern Counties and Scotland. Secondly, the opening of the extensive and valuable coal. fields of Silksten, Dodworth, Barns. ley, and the adjacent districts, to the manufacturing and other towns of Yorkshire, the ports of Hell, Selby, Goole, Great Grimsby,and Boston, and also to the Metropolis, and the Mid land, and Western counties. Thirdly, the accommodation of the inhabitants of the places through which this railway will pass, with those facilities of conveyance for passengers, of which, from the almost entire absence of good roads, as well as railways, they have hitherto been destitute. An examination of the Map will show how well these objects will be attained by means of this railway. At its northern termi nus, Wakefield, it will be connected with the Leeds and Manches , ter Railway, continued to the Midland and the lines extending from it to the north and east, with the projected Wakefield and Harrogate and Wakefield and Leeds lines (the latter a branch of the Leeds and Dewsbury from Churwell), and through it with the Leeds and Thirsk, the Leeds and Bradford, and other railways, to the north-west and Scotland. And at Wortley, its southern terminus, it will be connected with the Sheffield and Manchester Railway, the projected Manchester, Midland, and Great Giimsby, and the Sheffield and Lincolnshire lines, the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Railway, the projected Sheffield and Chesterfield Railway, and the various new projects from Sheffield to the northern parts of Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and the west. The quantity of coal which this railway will make directly accessible to all parts of the kingdom may be estimated from the following statements given in evidence before a Committees of the House of Commons:—The township of Barnsley contains 2,010 acres of coal bed, Barughs 5,080 acres, Dodworth, 6,219 acres, Silkston, 4,040 acres. The quantity of coal in the Silkston main alone is thirty-seven millions three hundred and fourteen thou sand tons, and the quantity likely to be raised from the entire dis trict through which the railway will pass, is not less than seventy. eight millions of tons. Pits may be sunk close by the railway, and will require only an engine to lift the coals perpendicularly, and pour them into the trucks. In - addition to this, an opportunity will be afforded of turning to better account a bed of iron-stone underlying a space of 5,080 acres. The construction of this railway would so cheapen the transit of coal to York, Hull, and all intermediate towns to the north and east, and westward to Glossop, Ashton,. Manchester, Stock port, and other towns in Cheshire, that the owners of this valu able mineral would be able successfully to compete with those of Durham and Lancashire. The inexhaustible mineral traffic which will thus be developed —the means which this railway will afford of improved transit be. tween Leeds and Sheffield, so long a desideratum to the inhabitants of these, the two largest towns in Yorkshire—the opening of direct railway communication with Barnsley, from which that important manufacturing town has hitherto been excluded—its con nexion with the line projected to Harrogate, whither so many thousands of visitors annually resort in pur suit of health and pleasure, constitute a summary of advantages which cannot fail to recommend this project to public favour and support. It is calculated that the traffic in minerals alone will yield a lucrative return to the Shareholders; while the extraordinary increase of travelling which every ad ditional facility creates, and the surprising influx of trade which every new railway brings to the district through which it passes, adding largely to the profits of the undertaking, render it pro. bable that the advantages which will actually be realised by this project will exceed the most sanguine expectations of its pro. moters.

John Everard Upton, Share. brokers, Leeds; Messrs. Ridsdale and Rogers, Sharebrokers, Wakefield; Messrs. Garton and Wright, Mr. George Eadon, jun., and Mr. John May, Sharebrokers, Sheffield; Messrs.

To the Provisional Committee of the Sheffield, Wortley, Silkston, and Wakefield Railway Company. Gentlemen, —I request you to allot to me shares of 25/. each in the above.named Company, and I undertake to accept the same, or such less number as you may appropriate to me, sub. ject to the regulations of the Company, to execute the Parlia mentary Contract and the Subscribers' Agreement, and to pay, when required, the deposit of 2/. 12s. 6d. per share. I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servat,t, Name (in full) Profession, trade, or occupation Residence (in full) Plate and d of business ds of re f any) Name Referee lIERNE BAY, CANTERBURY, AND FAVERSHAM ATAIOSPHERIC. Yesterday a meeting was held at the Pier Hotel, Herne Bay, which was attended by the Commissioners, and many of the principal landed and house proprietors in the town and its vicinity, for the purpose of considering the propriety of supporting this project. Dr. Stokes, the Chairman of the Commissioners, presided on the occasion. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business, said it was mani fest that a railway communication to that healthful spot must be calculated to render an infinite benefit not merely to the town itself, but to every one connected with it. The plan, as proposed upon paper, appeared to him to carry out all that could be desired. For whilst it offered the facility of a rapid communication from and to the metropolis at a very trifling cost, so it would create a medium of transit to Can terbury, Dover, and the Continent.—(Hear, bear.) He was satisfied there could be no opposition offered to the project by the owners of property in Herne Bay or by its inhabitants, because, as he had stated, the greatest advantages in every point of view must result to Herne Bay. Mr. WILSON, the Secretary to the Company, said it was proposed to run a line from Herne Bay to Canterbury, Whit stable, and Faversham, at which point it would form a junc tion, or connecting link, as it were, with one of the many lines which were projected to that place. There would then be a direct railway communication with London—(Hear, hear) —on the one hand, and through Herne Bay to Canter bury, Deal, Margate, Ramsgate, and the Continent. Herne Bay would be, as it were, the main focus, because not only would it have the advantage from the metropolis by the line to Faversham, but it would in consequence of its line to Canterbury and facile communication to Dover, be a consi derable gainer b y its connexion with the celebrated Herne B a y boats—the City of Canterbury, the Red Rover, and Herne.—(Hear.) A discussion then ensued, in the course of which it was several times stated that the project would meet with every support from the parties living in and connected with Herne Bay. ANDOVER CANAL ANI) MANCHESTER AND SOUTIIAMPTON. ANDOVER.—A meeting of the Directors of the Manchester and Southampton Railway Company, and a Committee of the shareholders of the Andover Canal, took place at the office of the Railway Company on Thursday, when the Com pany agreed to purchase the canal from Redbridge to An dover at the sum of 30,0001., of which 10,0001., part thereof, is to be paid as a deposit to the Canal Company in January . next. This arrangement, if carried into effect, will be of ad vantage to the shareholders of the canal, as hitherto the original shares have been considered of little value, but fur which they will then realise nearly 40/. It will also increase the value of the railway shares. DIRECT LONDON AND EXETER. A meeting of the inhabitants of Hammersmith was held ast evening at the Albion Hall. There were present as a deputation from the Directors, Sir Henry Pym, Mr. Healy, Dr. Costelloe, with Messrs. Columbine and Ty roan, solicitors, and Mr. Uomm, one of the assistant engineers. Dlr. HEALY took the chair, and explained in an able ad dress, which want t•f space compels us reluctantly to omit, the merits and advantages of the line. Mr. COLUMBINE followed, and the other gentlemen of the deputation, whose statements appeared to give satisfaction. The delegates of the Luxembourg Railway Companies have been to Luxembourg, in order to open negotiations with the Grand Ducal Government to obtain the concession of a council, which should traverse the territory of Luxem bourg, and then he continued to Treves. The Courier of the Grand Duchy says. that these negotiations have failed, and that the delegates of the Company have I:ft Luxembourg without having concluded anything with the council of the Government. RAILWAYS VERSUS COACIIES. — The advantages of railways over the old system of travelling are daily becoming more apparent. At first economy of time was the great feature in the improvement, now economy of money is as strikingly evident. The Brighton Ilailw y Company ha again re duced its fares. The first class fare, 10s., is now less than the outside fare heretofore charged by the coaches, to say nothing of the shillings (or rather half-crowns) and six • pences charged by the coachmen and porters. MADRID AND VALENCIA RAlLWAY.—Yesterday, William Chadwick, Esq, the chairman, and others, forming a deputa tion from this company, had an interview with his Excellency the Spanish Ambassador. at his residence in Cavendish• square, in order to make arrangements for the payment of the caution-money required by the concession—amounting to 3,000,000 of reals, equal to 30,712/. 17s. 10d. sterling. The deputation was received with the greatest courtesy by his excellency, who 'expressed himself favourably of the engineering character of the country through which the line will pass. The secretary of the Legation, by the direction of his Excellency, afterwards accompanied Mr. Chadwick and P. B. Volney, Esq., the concessionnaire, to the Bank of England, where the full amount was deposited in strict conformity with the conditions of the concession.

SECRETARY TO THE CORRESPONDING COMMITTEE IN LONDON. E. Aime, Esq., 62, Kin g William.street, pro tem. This important line of rail wa y was sanctio ned by the Canadian Legislature, in the last Sessio n. The line of the Great West ern Railwa y of Ca nada , as authorised by the Act, is 245 mites in len g th, commenci ng near Fort Erie, opposite to the town of Buffalo, and terminating at Windsor, on the Detroit river, opposite to the town of Detroit. Its whole course lies within the Briti sh territory ; and it traverses t h e most fertile and populous portio n of the province of U pp er Canada, passing through the town of Hamilton, at the head of the na v giga - lion of Lake Ontario, and int ersecting the Niagara, London, Gore, and other districts, containing numerous towns and villages, with a rapidly increasing population. The importance of such a line for national purposes, and for the interests of Canada, is so obvious as to have ensured the favour and support of the Government; while at the same time, it forms a direct trunk line fir the traffic of the principal towns and districts of Upper Canada with one another, and with the seat of Government ; and for the stream of passengers and emigration which flow from this country by way of the St. Lawrence to the upper province. The principal feature of the undertaking, however, as a commer cial enterprise, consists in its uniting this character of a main artery for the local and provincial purposes of Upper Canada with that of a completing link in the great system of thorough cominu. nication between the North Western States of America and the upper Valley of the Mississippi on the one hand, and the cities of New York and Boston, and the Sea Board of the Atlantic, on the other. A reference to the map will show that the town of Buffalo, which is the eastern terminus of the Great Western Railway of Canada, is the focus of the various communications by which the traffic of the interior is conveyed to the Atlantic, among which may be mentioned the Erie Canal, ew the New York and the Erie Raoston il road, 460 miles in length f rom N York to Buffalo, B and Buffalo Railroad, 560 miles in length, and various other lines of railroad which radiate from Buffa different directions through the States of New England and New lo in York. The western terminus, Detroit, is, in like manner, the focus of the extensive railway and canal communication of the North Western States, including Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and the upper part of Ohio, of which a large portion are already completed, and in successful operation. The State of Michigan, for instance, although the latest settled and least populous of those States, has already upwards of 700 miles of railway completed or in progress; among which is a main trunk line of 200 miles in length, in direct continuation of the Great Western Railway of Canada, from Detroit to St. Joseph, on the Michigan Lake, of which 110 miles are now open, and upon which a dividend of 7 per cent. was paid last year. The stream of traffic between Detroit and Buffalo is now carried on entirely by the circuitous and dangerous navigation of Lake Erie, which is closed during halt the year. Its importance may be judged of from the fact, that upwards of 60 large steamtrs, averaging 450 tons burden, and 160 horse power each, are employed on Lake Erie, in addition to 300 sailing vessels of the united tonnage of 20,000 tons; and it appeared from an official return, that the number of passengers entering and leaving Buffalo, during the summer season, averaged 1,000 daily, and that upwards of 100,000 passengers were carried by the steamers upon the Lake during five months. The passage between Detroit and Buffalo, by first-class steamers, occupies, under the most favourable circumstances, about thirty six hours, and the navigation is suspended during half the year; while, during the remainder, it is liable to frequent interruptions from the storms to which Lake Erie is peculiarly subject; while, by the railway, the journey will be performed at all seasons in twelve or fourteen hours. There can be no reasonable doubt, therefore, that the railway will at mice absorb the greater portion of the traffic, and will be. come, in connexion with the systems of railway communication at either extremity, the high road for the traffic of the Western States with the Atlantic. No competing line can be made to divert this traffic, as the Great Western Railway of Canada affords the most direct route between Buffalo and Detroit ; and any other line, to connect these points, would have to wind round the south shore of Lake Erie, increasing the distance by at least 125 miles. The importance of these considerations will be abundantly mani fest from the simple fact, that the population of the provinces of the United States, for whose traffic the Great Western Railway of Canada will furnish the principal outlet, exceeds 2,500,000, and has increased at the following extraordinary rate, viz. I Population in 1810.'Population in 1840. Michigan Indiana 24,250 683,314 Illinois 1,500,000 Ohio And the increase both here and in Upper Canada is now going on at at undiminished rate. Without dwelling upon the prospects of eventual traffic which must result from the rapid progression of population, and the de. velopment of the resources of the North American States and Canada, and which render the present undertaking so peculiarly op, pa inviting with a view to permanent investm ent, it may be sufficient to state, with regard to the present and existing traffic— !. That the Michigan Railway , whic h is a continuation of the line of the Great Western Railway of Canada into aened more remote and less populous district, although only p artially dividend of seven per cent., and the oth er railways open in this ys a State, pay dividends of from six to ten per cent. 2. That the lines of railway in New York and New England, which complete the communication between Buffalo and the Atlantic, although competing with the Erie Canal and with one another for the traffic which will be concentrated on the Great Western Railway of Canada, pay dividends of from seven to ten per cent. 3. That the existing passenger traffic between Buffalo and De.. troit, Suppoing two-thirds.of it cmly to be capied by the railway, SUPPLEMENT TO IHE MOAN LNG- S THURSDAY. OCTOBER 9, 1845 and making no allowance for the increase of travelling which would be occasioned by the increased facility of communication, would, according to an estimate taken by the Company's engineer, in Canada, be sufficient to pay seven per cent. on the cost of con struction, without taking into account the local traffic of Canada, or the traffic in goods and merchandise. The line is of a peculiarly easy character, traversing for the greater part of its distance a level plateau, and involving no heavy engineering works. The land will be obtained at an inconsiderable rest, and the whole preliminary expenses which have been in curred in obtaining the Act, &c., do not exceed 1,0001. As a proof of the cheap manner in which railways may be con structed in America, it may be instanced that the Michigan Railway, which, as already mentioned, forms a continuation of the Great Western of Canada, has been actually constructed at a cost, including station and working stock, of 2,6001. per mile; and the various railways centering at Buffalo have been similarly com. pleted, at a cost averaging from 3,0001. to 4,0001. per mile. There is no doubt that the Great Western Railway of Canada traversing an easier country, and with better access to materials, might be constructed at as low a cost as any of these railways, but It has been thought prudent to frame the estimate with a view to a more solid and enduring work, resembling more nearly in character the railways of this country ; and the amount of capital has been fixed accordingly upon a revised estimate considerably higher than the average cost of railways in the United States. There is no ditlicull in letting the works to respectable con tractors in Canada, and as the exeution will be forthwith com menced, and the works are of such an easy character, it is con fidently expected that the whole line will be opened in the course of the year 1848. The concession under the Company's Act is of the most favour able description, being unlimited in resrect of tolls and charges, and also of duration, saint to a right to the Government to pur. case the railway afar 40 years, upon payment of a sum equivalent to 20 per cent. upon the capital, provided the railway shall upon the average of the preceding 40 years have paid a dividend of not less than 12q per cent. The Company being incorporated by Act of the Legislative, tha liability of shareholders is limited to the amount of their shares in the same manner as in an established English Railway Company, and will cease upon the shares being transferred. The capital is already subscribed, and a deposit of 15 per cent. paid upon it ; and arrangements will be made forthwith, by which the holders of scrip certificates of shares may be registered as share holders of the Company upon signing the necessary deeds. Further calls of not more than 5 per cent. each will be made at intervals of not less than two months, and with not less than one mouth's notice ; and the premium, or rate of exchange to be obtained on bills or other remittances for transmitting the funds to Canada, will be accounted for to the shareholders. Provision will be made for ensuring an efficient control over the expenditure and general management of the concern to the cor responding Committee in England, and periodical meetings of the English shareholders will be held in England. A copy of the Act of Incorporation of the Company may be seen at the offices of Messrs Birch= and Dalrymple, Bedford-row, London. Maps and other information may be obtained at the temporary office of the Corresponding Committee, 62, King William-street, London. posed to form a railway on its site, with an extension from the City-road basin to the vicinity of the General Post-office. The vast importance of this undertaking, whereby, a junction will be effected between all existing and projected railways north of the Thames, combined with the, advantage of a general City terminus, is too obvious to require comment. By the proposed railway, passengers and goods will be brought Into the heart of the City at a great saving of time and expense, and facilities will be afforded for the more expeditious transmission of the mails to most parts of the kingdom. The line will commence at the Great Western Railway ter minus, and will follow the course of the canal throughout, inter secting the London and Birmingham Railway at Camden-town, the proposed London and York and Direct Manchester near Pen tonville, the Eastern Counties at Old Ford, and the Blackwell Railway at Limehouse ; traversing the populous districts of Pad. dington, Camden-town, Islington, City-road, Hoxton, Kingsland, and Hackney,—terminating at the Regent's Canal Dock at Lime house, adjoining the River Thames, to which there is a wharf frontage of 170 feet. The basins, wharfs, warehouses, and buildings at the City.road, Limehouse, and along the line of canal will be equally available as sit present for the large and increasing local goods traffic now existing on the canal. - Surveys have been made of the property required for the pro• posed extension, which it is found can be constructed at a corn p.iratively moderate expense. " " . . The object of the Company will be to secure the test accommo dation to the public, and to deal impartially with the present and all future companies who may avail themselves of this line. The property of the present railway companies will be materially im proved. and a great national work effected in a manner and at a cost which c .uld be accomplished by no other means than by the conversion of the Regent's Canal. There are no engineering difficulties of importance to overcome, the approaches to, and the communications across the line, arc already established, and a comparatively small extent only of pri. vate property will be interfered with or require to be purchased, and the completion of the works and the opening of the line may be coufldes►t a y expected within twelve months after the sanction of the Legislature has been obtained.

D UDLEY and BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION RAILWAY. Combining the broad and narrow gauges, in continuation of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line. Capital 200,0001., in 10,t00 Shares of 201. each. Deposit 21. 10s. per Share. • (Provisionally Registered.) This line will commence at the station of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, at Dudley, and run into the line of the Grand Junction Company near to Birmingham. It will traverse or pass in the immediate vicinity of the following populous manu facturing towns and places, v;z., Great Bridge, Swan Village, Old • bury, West Bromwich, liandsworth, and Smethwick, and In its course it afford railway accommodation to a manufacturing and mining population of upwarus of a quarter of a million. The names of the places of the proposed termini, and the above indication of the course of the intended line, must abundantly sa tisfy every one that it presents the certainty of a lucrative traffic both in goods and in passengers. It is almost unnecessary to speak further of so plain a necessity as that of railway accommodation for such a district. The wonder would be that the proposed line had not been esta blished long before, were it not for one very obvious and very poten tial reason to which it is owing that this rich district has hitherto been suffered to remain destitute of railway accommodation. The district has been up to this time deprived of the benefits of railway means of transit because it was one of the richest farms of the Bit mingham Canal Company ; and it is to overcome the depressing influence of such a destitution that the present plan has been pro jected. ' The intended line will not interfere with any existing line of railway, but it will materially extend the usefulness of the several lines about to be connected with Dudley, and in particular that great mining district trunk line, the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton Railway, its also the Shrewsbury and South Staffordshire Junction ; besides, it will afford to the populous districts around Dudley and Birmingham the direct benefits of fair and liberal eom petition in passenger conveyance and in the transit of their industrial products to their principal market. The number of omnibuses, coaches, and swift canal packet-boats continually travelling between the tninini, afford the strongest as surance of the prospect of a far, e passenger traffic : while the bulky nature and vast extent of the mining and mtnufacturing produce of this well-known district equally vouch for that in goods; and the whole leaves no coubt but that the financial returns of such an un• dertaking must yield an ample remuneration for the capital ex pended. jn an engineering point of view, it has been astertained, by enreful ' eutveye, that the line is highly favourable, and pttielite not the 35s p!

The deputation, which consisted of Major Newcombe, the chairman ; William Law, Esq. ; F. I). Webster, Esq., of Brentbridge-house, Hend,.n ; and Captain Ewbank, entered the hall, accom panied by Mr. R. C. Yarborough, of Lincoln's Inn-fields, and several of the local Provisional Committee, among whom we recognised . Mr. Alderman Johnston, of Derby, Edward Edwards, Esq., George IL Fourdrinier, Esq., R. Thacker, Esq., F. B. Byne, Esq., and other gentlemen from the sur rounding country. Mr. CHARLES MASON, of Fenton, was called to the chair. Major NEWCOMBE and others addressed the meeting, and resolutions were passed in favour of the line. GREAT LEEDS AND LONDON DIRECT. A numerous meeting of the promoters and proprietors of this projected line took place yesterday afternoon, at the Adelaide Hotel, London-bridge. Amongst the gentlemen present were, Lord Stephen Chichester, in the chair • Sir W. B. Johnson, Bart.; Sir John Key, Bait. ; C. 11. Anderson, Esq.; W. Banks, Esq. ; J. B. Banks, Esq.; J. Brown, Esq.; J. Blore, Esq.; B. Clements, Esq.; J. Cutts, Esq. ; Nl. J. Cross, Esq. ; J. L. Davenport, Esq. ; H. W. Burgess, Esq., &c. A resolution was then moved appointing a managing Com mittee, with power to add to their numbers; but before it was carried — Mr. GitEEN, of Bedford, rose and observed, that in the list of the Committee there should be a larger number of county repreentatives. He submitted that three, if not live gentle men, should be elected from each of the principal towns situated on the line, as the representatives in the managing Committee of the several towns in which they resided. The CIIAHIMAN urged that if such a course were adopted, the number of the Committee would be unprecedented, and observed that the greater the ntunber of Directors the less business would be done. _ _ Sir JOHN hEY contended that there was no necessity for such an amendment as had been proposed by Mr. Green, for that the resolution itself comprehended all that was neces sary, inasmuch as it gave the Commit. ee power to add to their number. A PROPRIETOR observed, that they had heard nothing ofthesurvey which of the line. Now it had abo beenu t s t t a h t e progress e di r n o triel scirculare called the meeting to gether, that a full report from the engineer and surveyor thought it w as N w .e o r u y l d es l s ) e e n s t t i t a b l m o i l t a t t ed th t e o y the meet i ng, kiiow how the w or k was pro d he f•_;.oticiTon to the Company said that the subject ct would g r cs Thesin have been brought be fore the meetin g , but he had been dis appinted in not having received the engineer's report, which he had fully expected that morning. He had himself written to the chief engineer upon the subject a few days ago, and, in his reply, that gentleman stated that the survey was being carried on as expeditiously ae possible, and there were no less than sixty surveyors employed on every mile, and the whole would without doubt be complet,d long before the time required. The various officers of the Company were then elected, and a vote of thanks was unanimously passed to the Chair man, who in reply stated his fullest confidence in the merits of the line, which he had no doubt would become one of the most successful. THE NORFOLK AND MIDLAND COUNTIES LINES, LYNN, WISBEACH, AND PETERBOROUGH, AND LYNN AND ELY, AND THE BOSTON, STAMFORD, AND BIRMINGHAM LINES. KING'S LYNN, TuEsnAy.—A large meeting of the inha bitants of King's Lynn watilield at half-past q.N. o'clock last evening, pursuant to adjournment, in the Town-hall, for the purpose of meeting deputations from the Lynn, Wisbeach, and Peterborough, and Via Lynn and Ely Railways, to hear au exposition of their objects, and for the purpose of affording the inhabitants an opportunity of expressing their opinion on the respective merits of the lines. A deputation from the Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham Company, also attended. His worship the Mayor, Robert Pitcher, Eaq„ presided. Mr. Mort: said the line was intended to afford the inha bitants of that town a direct communicarion through Wis beach to Peterborough, and, bv its junction,with the London and Birmingham Railway, the means (1,.a , cheap, direct., and expiditious communication with Birmingham, Manches ter, Liverpool, and the other great manufacturing towns in the north of England. The directors had received applica tions for seven times the number of shares they were em powered to allot, and they were at a premium of from '21.105. to 31. —(Cheers ) Another evidence of the desirability of the line was to be found in the fact that it had been pirated by others. The line was registered on the Bth of August; on the 30th of August another scheme, traversing the same ground, was registered in exactly the same name ; and on the Bth of September another company was registered, als siu the same name. They were the original Lynn, Wis beach, and Peterborough Railway, which interested parties, backed by local interest, were endeavouring to drive from the field. _ _ _ Mr. ANDREWS, the solicitor, nest addressed the meeting. Mr. WiLuAms, who represented the Lynn and Ely, said the difference between the two lines would not be more than one mile and a half, and addressed the meeting in favour of his line. Mr. Hour said they could post to Wisbeach in less time than they could be conveyed by the angle line. After some discussion, BAGSTER proceeded to address the meeting on behalf of the Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham, which he con tended by its junctipn with other lines would afford them all the conimunicatiOn which th t ey desired with the Midi/aid Counties, as well as the tweeW the north of Zugland.

The object of this line is to form the nearest possible route from Hull to Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, and other places, in connexion with the Midland Railway and its Extensions. The line is intended to commence at a junction with the Hull and Selby Railway at or near Gilberdyke, and from thence con. tinue in a direct lice through or near Linton, Bells.sise, Laxton, Skelton, Goole, Thorne, Fishlake, Bramwith, Hatfield, Armthorp, Doncaster, Sprotboro', (and its extensive Limestone k ields) Co niskro', Hooton, Rotherham, and to join the Midland Railway at blasbro*. The following are some of the advantages this line possesses:— It will, by a junction with the proposed Manchester, Huddersfield, and Great Grimsby Railway, at Doncaster, effect a saving between Hull and Manchester, and between Hull and Liverpool, of about forty miles, over any existing route. It will form a junction upon a level with the proposed London and York at Doncaster, anti thus open the shortest route fiom the termini of these projected lines to London and Edinburgh, and also the most direct route to Chesterfield, Nottingham, Derby, and Birmingham. It will form a direct route from Hull to Sheffield through Goole, Thorne, and Doncaster. It will form a direct line from Hull to Barnsley, and the inex haustible coal-fields of Silkstone, Worsbro' Cawthorne, Bretton, Billitigley, Barugh, and also to the limestone fieds in the neigh bourhood of Doncaster, which will be of great benefit to the agri. cultural districts of Lincolnshire and the East and North Ridings of Yorkshire, It will, by the saving of distance and of stoppage, accelerate the mails between Hull and Sheffield, and Hull and Manchester, at least two hours. The whole of the country has been carefully surveyed, and the report of the engineer is exceedingly satisfactory. No engineering difficulties exist, nor will any ornamental er re sidential property be interfered with, and the line is comparatively a straight one. The cog of construction is very much below the average, owing to its being a surface line nearly the whole distance, and the im • mense traffic that will pass over it mu►t render it highly remune rative to the shareholders. An influential provisional committee is now forming, and the names of the gentlemen comprising it will be shortly announced. In the meantime, further information may be obtained from the solicitors ; and application for shares, in the form given below, ac companied with satisfactory references, may also be addressed to the solicitors, the Secretary, or the following brokers:—Hull—Messrs.
