The project will still retain its chief characteristic of a direct railway, and by its connexion, near Warrington, with the Grand Junction Company, is sufficiently comprehensive, without resorting to a com plicated system of branch lines, or materially conflicting with the in terests of existing companies. The line will commence at the city of Chester, and proceed by way of Trafford, Frodsharn, and Preston Brook, to Warrington, thence by Lymm and Stretford direct to Manchester. From a point on the main line, near Frodsham, a branch will be taken to join the Chester and Birkenhead Railway, so as to unite Manchester in the most direct manner possible, with the docks now being formed at Bir kenhead. _ _ . 1, 4 . b ah , TABLE.

To connect these two points by a direct and independent line of railway must, therefore, be of the utmost importance, not only in a local point of view, but to the whole commercial intercourse of the country. This line will be the most direct route, by Holyhead, to Ireland, and will be, in all respects, by far the preferable channel of inter course and transit between Ireland and the great manufacturing dis tricts of England. By the railways connecting Chester with Wrex ham, Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Hereford, Gloucester, and South Wales, this will be the nearest route from Manchester to the south western parts of England, and to the minerals of Monmouth and Glamorganshire. The communication with Bristol, Gloucester, and Exeter will be speedy and direct. On reference to the Map, it will be seen that a very considerable distance will be saved by this line, as compared with the present circuitous routes by Crewe and by Birkenhead ; the former being 52 miles, and the latter 46 miles, while the proposed line is only 34 miles, saving in the one case 18 miles, and in the other 12 miles, besides the serious inconvenience, loss of time, and expense of passing through Liverpool, and crossing the water at that place. It is confidently expected that this line will be the precursor of another scheme, of no ordinary importance—namely, to render Chester an efficient port for large vessels. This subject was entertained by Sir John Rennie in 1835, and sub sequently, in the same year, by the late Mr. Chapman, who wrote an able report upon the capabilities of the river Dee. It was again investigated, in 1837, by Sir John Rennie and Mr. George Remington, and the practicability of forming a good navigable channel for vessels of large burden, together with docks at Chestsr, was then fully and clearly established. The entrance channel would commence at Dawpool. which is easy of access (and infinitely preferab'e, in point of access and safety, to the docks at Liverpool or Birkenhead), for vessels of largo burden, during eight hours every tide, both at springs and neaps; and the call of the lock would be sufficiently low to admit vessels drawing 20 feet water to enter at all tides. _ _ _ . This railway, therefore, in connexion with the proposed docks, will render to Chester and Manchester incalculable advantages. To the former it will restore the proper position natural to so important a city ; to the latter it will give another outlet, by sea, to the ma nufacturing districts, free of the heavy port charges, dues, and risks to which the produce is now subject. It has not been thought advisable to combine the two objects in one company at present, but should it be found requisite, the two may hereafter be amalga mated. . _ and a THIRD EDITION at SEVEN O'CLOCK, for POST, containing PARLIAMENTARY and all other NEWS in LONDON up to that Hour.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT, This Railway is intended to commence at the port of Harwich, and proceed from thence to a junction with the London and Birmingham Railway, at or near Bllsworth. The Commissioners appointed by the Crown to inquire into the most eligible situations for Harbours of Refuge, have reported upon Harwich, as the finest and only safe Harbour along the East Coast of England, and from its situation and extent, one of very great im portance to the trade of this country. The Commissioners, in their Report, urged upon the Government the necessity for taking imme diate measures for the improvement of Harwich Harbour, as a work of national importance ; and a Parliamentary grant has been made for that purpose. This Company is established with a view of carrying out more ex tensively the objects of the Government, by the construction of a Pier and Docks, and by opening up the shortest and most direct com munication between the port of Harwich and the port of London, the Western and Midland Counties, and the manufacturing districts ; and for the purpose of bringing into more immediate connexion the great commercial ports of England with the port of Harwich, as the grand outlet to all parts of Northern and Central Europe, by means of whose existing and projected Railways an unlimited flow of commer cial and passenger-traffic to and from this country will necessarily be created ; whilst the important and populous districts traversed by the line (as yet unprovided with the means of railway communication) will derive all the vast advantages of the most speedy internal, as well as foreign intercourse. The line is now being surveyed, on the completion of which a de tailed prospectus, with the names of the Provisional Committee and the amount of capital required, will be published ; and in the mean time applications for further information may be addressed to W. Scott, Esq., at the Offices of the Company, 63, Moorgate-street. THE DERBYSHIRE, STAFFORDSHIRE, and WORCESTERSHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY. Merits of no ordinary degree, therefore, may fairly be claimed for this railway, whether taken in connexion with the proposed docks, or as standing alone, combining as it does all the advantages of any other lines, with this great addition, that it will be the high road to the most convenient outport of Manchester, and will be quite inde pendent of any associations or influences that might tend to oppose the growing desire for a moans of direct and independent communi cation between Manchester and the port of Chester. The line has been carefully examined. There are no difficult earth-works to be encountered ; on the contrary it will be cheap, and of easy formation. Power is reserved to the Committee to de viate ftom the proposed line in the vicinity of Manchester, should ulterior arrangements ronder it expedient.

Remington, Esq., C.E. The line of Railway proposed between Uttoxeter and Dudley has been undertaken at the suggestion of several influential parties, as combining (without being a competing line with any railway at pre sent made) all the advantages of several projected lines, with addi tions of no ordinary value. The town of Uttoxeter, in the Dove Val ley, is itself the centre of a rich agricultural district, supplying al ready the markets of Dudley, Tipton, Walsall, Bilston, and Wednes bury, with cheese, cattle, and agricultural produce, but by a very expensive and dilatory mode of transit. All the proposed lines communicating with Manchester, London, and the Potteries, must necessarily pass to or near Uttoxeter. Already the Chur net Valley, Derby and Stafford, Derby and Crewe, Teen, and Dove Valley, North Staffordshire, Manchester Direct Inde pendent, Leicester and Ashby lines of rail Way, project a station at Uttoxeter. Assuming either of these former, or some equivalent, to pass this will be the best route from Manchester, Macclesfield, the Potteries, Hull, Sheffield, and the north to the mineral districts of South Staffordshire, and to Kidderminster, Worcester, and South Wales. By the Leicester and Ashby line, which will communicate by its branch to Uttoxeter, traffic of great part of the east of England will be available for Staffordshire and the west. Commencing at Uttoxeter, the line will be carried over favourable ground to Abbott's Bromley, thence to Rugeley, where it will fall into the Trent Valley Railway Station, by Channock Chase, along the Rising Brok Valley, to Hednesford, and thence by Walsall across the Grand Junction Railway, through Wednesbury and the mineral districts of South Staffordshire to Dudley ; there it will join all those railways that will connect the Staffordshire coal field with Worcester, Ludlow, and Porthdynllaen on the south-west, Aberystwith, Merthyr Tydvil, Swansea, Hereford, on the west and south. In fact, it will unite by the nearest route the east and west of England. The line will fall into and cross the Trent Valley, Midlands, and Grand Junction Railway at Walsall, and from Cannock afford direct communication with Wolverhampton (where it will run into the broad gauge railway) from Leeds, and Huddersfield, and the north and east of England. The population on the line exceeds 300,000, and the ordinary traffic arising from internal sources alone is sufficient to maintain the rail way, and afford more than ample remuneration to the shareholders. As a junction line (with the present immensely increasing public favour to railway travelling) it is scarcely possible to compute the amount of passenger traffic, but it must necessarily be very great. Since this line was registered, a company has been formed for ex tending it by a junction at Uttoxeter, to Huddersfield, Leeds, and Sheffield, by way of Ashbourn, and by this means immense mines of lead, iron, stone, and coal of Derbyshire, the products of the paint manufactories and barytes works at Ashbourne, Cromford, &c., will be opened, and with those already in work, find a ready transit to Walsall and Birmingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton. The in crease of passengers, attracted by ready means of conveyance to the romantic country of Dovedale, and the High Peak, will be necessarily very great. The copper, ore, lime, and coal, abounding in the Caldon and the Ribden mines, will be transmitted by this line to the manufacturing districts of Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and South Wales, and it will afford a direct communication between Leeds, Huddersfield, and Southampton, and it will also be the nearest route to Southampton from Manchester, via Uttoxter, by the London and Manchester Direct Independent Line, or whatever railway should ultimately pass between Manchester and London, as forming the shortest route to the metropolis, a line which, it is now admitted on all hands, must be carried. --...—. This Company reserves the right to raise additional capital to com plete the line from Dudley to or near the Droitwich station, on the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway.

Carlton Chambers, Regent-Street The object of this Company is to establish a railway from London to Exeter direct, through Salisbury and other considerable towns, hither to deprived of that great improvement of the age. The most impor tant feature, however, of this undertaking will be, that it will establish an uninterrupted, direct, and seedy communication between the me tropolis and our largest maritime ports—Plymouth and Falmouth, and thus form an immediate transit to the extreme part of the west of England. To the shipping interest, both at home and abroad, this facility will be of the utmost importance, and if war should unfortu nately arise, the advantages of such a line are evident. The Committee feel - the importance of the duty imposed upon them, and rely with confidence on the success of the undertaking, possessing, as it does the strongest claims for support, whether as a permanent and judicious investment of capital, or as a great national undertaking. It is not intended to comment on the various railway schemes partially affecting the line the Committee propose should be adopted, further than to cbserve, that none of them have been based upon a sufficiently comprehensive view to afford " a direct organic communication" with the metropolis: and it is apparent that an en tire line, under the management of one Company, is far preferable to any other communication now available or projected. This line of railway is offered to the public as affording not only an independent and direct intercourse between the metropolis, Exeter, and the va rious important towns upon it, but will effect a saving of thirty miles an 1 upwards, in the circuitous and expensive route by Bristol. The opinion of Sir Robert reel is particularly applicable to this project—that the tendency of the improvements which are' almost daily lntr doced, was decidedly in favour of the shortest and most direct thus ; and it is deserving of remark, that when the Wilts and Somerset Railway Bill (which has lately received the royal sanction) was before Parliament, its prof' ctors were required to pledge them selves that they should not offer hereafter any impediment to a direct line to Falmouth, being precisely such an undertaking as the one now proposed, thereby proving the importance attached by Parliament to direct communications, and the London and York having obtained the consent of the House of Commons to their Bill, after a prolonged opposition, shows the weight attached to direct independent railways. It is proposed that this railway shall take its course between the Great Western and the South-Western, as far as Kingscicre—though It will not in any way interfere with those lines —and is the course actually suggested by the Board of Trade in its Fourth Report, see. 42, by which an opening was made in this very line, stating that there is nothing in the present settlement of existing railways to prevent a shorter or competing line to Exeter being brought forward. The Direct London and Exeter Company intend to form their ter minus in the most central part of London which can be obtained. It will be in the immediate vicinity of Sloane•street and Knightsbridge. It is also intended that this Company shall join the railway projected to cross the Thames, and thus effect an immediate connexion with a central terminus at Hungerford-bridge. From the London terminus the line will branch off to or near Hammersmith, Turnham-green, Brentford, Isleworth, Hounslow, Staines, Egham, Bagshot, Ascot, Bracknell, Binfield, Wokingham, Kingaclere, Andover, and Salisbury ; Shaftesbury, Sherbourne, Yeovil, Crewkerne, Axminster (or from Salisbury to Cranbourne, Blandford, Dorchester, Bridport, Axminster), and Honiton, to Exeter. The line chosen was nearly the one adopted by the Romans ; and as they, whenever practicable, adopteel the straight line, the Com mittee intend, as nearly as possible, following their example. This road was also the old mail coach line, until the circuitous course of the Great Western, in the infancy of railway traffic, diverted the traffic from it. The line of this railway will pass through Staines, as before ob served; and it is proposed to form a branch to Windsor, it being re presented that that mode of immediate communication with the metropolis will be most congenial to the wishes of the inhabitants of that town and its vicinity. The Committee are, therefore, desirous of accomplishing that object, and invite the immediate and active co-operation of the landholders and inhabitants of Windsor to this part of their scheme especially. To the sporting world, also, this undertaking offers a desideratum which has long been felt ; it is calculated the number of persons annually visiting Ascot and Egham Itaces exceeds 250,000; this lime will pass in the immediate vicinity of these race-courses; and near Ascot a handsome and commodious station will be erected for the ac commodation of the public. The traffic tables which are now in course of preparation will, when completed, be published ; but from the official returns, and other sources which have come within the Committee's cognisance, a very ample interest for the capital neces sary for this undertaking is shown, and as the traffic, from the great accommodation this railway will afford to every description of pro perty in the district through which it will pass, will be greatly in creased, so also will be the financial returns. The rejection of the Bill before Parliament of the Plymouth and Falmouth line, induces the Committee to propose an Immediate ex tension of the direct line from Exeter to Falmouth. Prospectuses for this extension will be published as soon as the plans and surveys are matured, and in the allotment of shares for this part of the line pre ference will be given to the original,holders of shares in the Direct London and Exeter Company, and the landowners on the Falmouth line. . . . amptonshire Edmund Francis Dayrell, Esq., Lillingstone Dayrell, Bucks, High Sheriff of Bucks Charles John Baithe Hamilton, Esq., M.P., Thame Park, Oxfordshire Rice Richard Clayton, Esq., M.P., Hedgerley Park, Bucks John Deering, Esq., The Lee, Bucks George Morgan, Esq„ Biddlesden Park, Bucks Robert Bullock Marsham, Esq., L.L.D., Caverstield House, Os. fordshiro Walter Henry Bracebridge, Esq., Moryille House, Warwickshire and - .

The plans, sections, and books of reference will be ready within the time prescribed by the Standing Orders of Parliament, and 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 annum, after passing the Act, on the amount of the subscriptions paid up, and that no subscriber shall be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his sub scription.

The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham Railway, near Harrow, and passing to the north of Uxbridge, will proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham to Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury ; from which place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and approaching Brackley, will terminate by a Junction with the proposed Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury. In addition to the line above described, it is intended also to con struct a Railway from the central station of the London and Bir mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through Bicester to Oxford; and in connexion with the line here proposed, the Bedford, and London and Birmingham Company, intend to make a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton. The proposed Buckingham and London and Birmingham Railway Company (for the construction of a linefrow Wolverton to Bicester) is amalgamated with this Company. Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difiPzulty of importance presents itself. The undertaking has already received the sanction and support of a very large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of land through or near whose property it is intended to pass. It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation, and under the direction and superintendence of the London and Birmingham Railway Company; under a lease, in perpetuity, at four per cent. per annum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange ment as to the surplus profits. It is intended to offer the shares in such proportion as the amount of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London, Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway Company, subject to the approbation of the Committee of Management, with the exception of such as may be required for parties having local interests.

The daily increasing export trade of tile port of Southampton, and the great facilities afforded to the shipping interest by the completion of the docks, requires that a more direct communication should be made to it from the manufacturing districts, and from the north of England and Scotland.

Silk Manufacturers, Leek This line will commence at the terminus of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Consall, thence close to Cheadle, and Teen, and by Uttoxeter, Bagots Woods and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent Valley Railway, near Lichfield, communicating there with one of the pro posed lines from Dudley and Walsall. A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct line for the London and Manchester traffic; uniting those two great tennini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing railways. It will also completely accommodate the local traffic and manufactures, and open several extensive coal fields and seine thou sand acres of wood land for the supply of Manchester, the Potteries, and other great marts of the kingdom. Together, too, with the pro posed line from Derby to Crewe, it will afford a transit from the Eastern Counties and Derby to Manchester, and give every accom modation to the Potteries. This line is, in its principal features, much the same asthat already approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned by the Churnet Valley Company—will be scarcely 47 miles in length, and passing through the centre of the district, does not interfere with the Grand Junction, or any other existing railway. It is material to re mark, that it is even more direct than the Churnet Valley as formerly projected to Tamworth, and is free from the formidable opposition of the landed interest, and the engineering difficulties consequent on the route by Rocester and Alarchington. It must be observed also that it is the only railway which has been brought forward by, and is under the control of, the landowners and manufacturers of the.Churnet and Blythe Valley districts. The co-operation of most of the principal landowners, from near Uttoxeter to near Lichfield, having been obtained, and there being no competing lines projected through that district, this portion of the line may be considered as secure.

For these important objects, to be secured by an extension of only 12 miles, to connect Bury St. Edm un d' s and Thetford, the Provisional Committee propose to increase the capital 250,0001., by the issue of 10,000 additional shares; and, for full particulars of the entire plan, refer to their original prospectus. The Chelmsford and Bury line not having been projected in time to bring it before Parliament in the present session in a substantive form, it has been but imperfectly, and merely incidentally, in opposing other lines, that its merits could be at all brought under the notice of the Board of Trade or of the Committee of the House ; but the strong impression made, notwithstanding, is its favour, is obviously appa rent, both in the reports of the one and in the decisions of the other. The Board of Trade, in stating the considerations upon which it ad vised the rejection of the Norw ic h Direct line, reported (March 4 th, 1845) that "It is necessary to adv ert to a railway called Bury theChelms- Railway, projected, but not brought before Parliament, and section, and traffic tables of which have been submitted f t ohrod plan,an d 'to the Board of Trade. This railway appears to us to accommodate a mere populous district than that intended to be traversed by the London and Norwich Direct Railway. Its section shows that it may be done at a moderate cost;' (while) "there is a strong local feeling in its favcur, evinced by the memorials which have been re ceived by the Board of Trade from the inhabitants of Braintree, Halstead, Sudbury, and other places between Chelmsford and Bury." The Committee of the House of Commons have since not only rejected the Norwich Direct and Bury and Cambridge lines, but the Chairman (Lord Sandon), previous to giving a decision against the Norwich Direct, took occasion to observe that "the Committee was decidedly in favour of the Chelmsford and Bury scheme." they are assured of the concurrence and To these public testimonials in favour of the Chelmsford and Bury line, the Provisional Committee have the satisfaction of ntCompany in the formation of their line. the Provisional Committee ne cessarilyShaarppesliCatioxs, of which it may be aiding, that by a special arrangement with the solicitor of the number were from parties as highly re spectable Rasters o C o o s u o n f t a 1:t1; 0 % pre sumed I n a ll t o h t a t r i te l allotting considerablett their originalir numerous as any of those to whom Shares could then be given ; and in the distribution of the additional Shares a reasonable preference will be given to original applicants, as well as to original Share holders.
