The proposed railway is intended to commence on the Trent Valley Railway near Stafford, and_Droceedbutthe.nce in *an easterly direction, to pass through, or near to, Tixall, Haywood, Colwich, and Abbott's Bromley, to the rapidly-increasing town of Burton-upon- Trent, where it will run into the Birmingham and Derby Railway, forming the shortest and best practicable route from Stafford to Derby. Leaving the Birmingham and Derby Railway at Burton upon-Trent, it will proceed along the valley of the Trent by Repton, Swarkestone, and Shardlow, to the Midland Counties Railway at the point where that railway forms ajunction with the Derby and Not tingham Railway ; and thus, by means of these and other railways in progress, form a complete line of railway communication between the central towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln, Leices ter, Peterborough, and Boston, on the east, and Shrewsbury, Ches ter, and Holyhead, North Wales, and Ireland, on the west. This railway will, therefore, form the only connecting link re quired in the great chain of railway communication from east and west through the heart of . the kingdom, uniting the shofes of the i e n an its on co t u h r e se eas th t e wi rie t h h t a h g o l le cii o l f tur th al e Ir i ls is h tri S c e ts a on the thewe.s eastern,t, and m tGrea id r i r i a , sn d in ,Zd western counties, and accommodating the important, and populous manufacturing towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lei cester, and Shrewsbury. But another most important advantage that will result from the formation of this line will consist in the fact of its affording, in connexion with the proposed South Union, or Manchester and Potteries Railway, by far the shortest and best route between Derby, Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, Peterborough, Leicester, and Loughborough, and the extensive and populous dis tricts of the Staffordshire Potteries, Macclesfield, Stockport, and Manchester. By the proposed line the distance between Nottingham and Derby and Manchester will be at least from 15 to 20 miles less than by the present circuitous route by Sheffield. The traffic on this line must necessarily be equal, if not superior, to that of any line in the district. The length - of the line will be about 33 miles, through a country presenting no difficulties of more than an ordinary kind for its con struction. _ The capital proposed to be raised is 600,0001., in shares of 201. each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid upon the allotment. No call will be made until the Act is obtained, and no subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription; and the usual power will be taken to allow interest at four per cent. from the time of payment upon each eSil until the opening of the line. The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract must be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip cer tificates, of which 14 days' notice will be given;, and the deposits paid.by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be forfeited. GRAND JUNCTION and MIDLANDS UNION RAILWAY. Notice is hereby given, that no farther Applications for Shares will be received. By order of the Committee, I , Royal Exchange Bnildings, 1 Ith October, 1845. PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT. HALIFAX AND HULL DIRECT, AND HUL, GLE, GRIMSBYD YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND G L RAND OO JUNCTION (at , or AN near Methley) RAILWAY, via, Hipperholme, Lightcliffe, Cleckheaton, Mills-bridge, Gomersal, Birstal, Batley, Hanging Heaton, Ardsleys, Lofthouse, Stanley to Methley, with a branch to Wakefield. (Provisionally Registered.) Capital 600,0001. in 30,000 shares of 201. each. Deposit 21.25. per Share, in compliance with the Standing Orders of Parliament. The object of thi s railway is to provide for the above-named densely Populated and rapidly improving manufacturing towns and villages, a dirict and convenient outlet towards York, Selby, Hull, Goole, Grimsby, and the east. In conjunction with the %Vest Riding Union, Liverpool and Leeds, and other projected railways passing through or Bear to Halifax, the undertaking now proposed will form one of the most direct railway commnnications, as well between the ports of Liverpool and Hull, as between the great manufacturing districts of the west, and the agri cultural districts of the East. The population residing upon and along the proposed line between Halifax and Methley exceeds 200,000 persons, who are chiefly engaged in manufacturing and mining industry— te such a community a rail way passing immediately through it, giving a nearer and more con venient access to the Irish Channel and the German Ocean and the intermediate places, is an object of importance, and promises, when accomplished, to confer great advantages on the inhabitants, and to secure to the shareholders an ample return for the capital invested. By this project the valuable coal fields of Nike, Batley, Soothill, East and West Ardsley, Lofthouse, and 'Stanley (containing the well known " Bowling and Low Moor," " High Moor," and Stanley Main," beds which re now wrought to a ♦on siderable extent), will be furnished, for the first time, with the means of cheap and convenient railway transit toHalifax and other large towns westward, and to York, Selby, Hull, Goole, Grimsby, and various other places eastward. The celebrated flagstone quarries of Northowram and Southowram, which annually export from Goole, Selby,. and Hull, to the eastern coast of England and to the Continent. large quantities of flags, paving stones, and slates, will supply this line of railway with a considerable amount of traffic. The principal objects of the scheme are—lst. To remedy the evils of delay and inconvenience to which parties are, at the present time, necessarily subjected in proceeding Prom the west end of the metro polis to Croydon, or the most distant places on the South-Eastern and London and Brighton Railways, as well as the several sea ports and packet-stations on the coasts of Kent and Sussex; and 2d. To supply to the numerous and wealthy inhabitants of the district reath, effect , through which the intended line will pass (at present wholly with out railway accommodation), a greatly improved means fo , r Btrhiextoinn projected in terchange of communication with the metropolis, and with each other. Commencing at the intended terminus of the South-Western Rail way, at Hungerford or Waterloo -bridge, the line will take the most practicable route to Kennington, from thence it will follow as near as possible the old turnpike road, passing through or near to the Tw4elaselth.hynasntdrepoatphualmoussdorwistrioocdts, BoefuiSahte,caknwdeTllb, Thornton-heath, lhinigesafrjouninctihoant place. It Croydon with the several existing or It is also proposed to forma branch or branches from the neigh bourhood of Streatham to Mitcham and Tooting, and thus to extend a o rm f the ofthe to those places, and their respective neighbourhoods, the advantages of a direct railway communication with the metropolis, A great portion of the traffic in passengers and g ood s Upon the Brighton and Dover lines is supplied from the west-end of London and the Birmingham and Great Western Railways. The necessity of proceeding to the station at London -bridge, and by the present promotersr a 1 o r circuitous route to Croydon, is a serious and unnecessary inconveni ence,f London to Croydon, entailing additional expense and delay. The removal of this g completes a straight long-felt grietrance is a leading pre sent nndertaking. They deem it right, however, to observe, in lay objectthawtitash t a he b ing this scheme before the public, that they have, no desire to inter fere with existing railway intere u s it t i s m ,: t r e th y e b i • e tl eo la n n n i e s et a e b d s . olutely indis pensable, but that on the other hand it will be their object to yield assistance to, and in return endeavour to secure it, from each com paAnygraintlicewaltiitchhetlinlisalpinwie flasybow, Reigate, and Brighton, and renders the ports of Dover and Folke stone, as well as the several lLinoendoofncaonmdmltrnigimhttoinonßfariolwmayth, this undertaking u e n st de e rt n a d ki o n places on the South-Eastern line, more easily accessible from that part of the metropolis. The great amount of traffic at the pres and ent time me the roads be tween Croydon, Mitcham , Tooting, Lc., Londono, proves at once that the existing railway facilities do not at all meet the exigencies of the mass of populationto whom this line will be available, 1 The population who res ide upon or in the immediate neighbour hood of the proposed line, independent of the metropolis, and betweea the intended termini, exceeds 100,000, whose wants are almost wholly supplied from the London markets, &c., and who have, at the present time, no mode of conveyance but upon the turnpike road. In the transit of building materials, corn, coal, lime, and other heavy goods, from the warehouses and wharfs on the banks of tho Thames, and for marketable produce in each direction, this line must become to them particularly useful and convenient. Some idea may be formed of the local necessitY of this railway, when it is known that the number ofpassengers who avail themselves 1 of the accommodation afforded by the several omnibuses and other ' I pub litvehicles, running upon the turnpike-road, have been ascer tained to exceed 2,600 daily. An equal nurOber (at least) proceed By means of the Leeds and Dewsbury Railway, now in course of construction (which the proposed line will intersect at Batley), the inhabitants of the clothing districts previously mentioned will have the readiest access to the Leeds markets and to the country north of Leeds. By a junction at Cleckheaton with the Bradford and Dewsbury branch of the West Riding Union Railway the present scheme will give to Halifax and its populous neighbourhood the shortest railway communication with Dewsbury, and in connexion with other pro posed lines with Barnsley, &c. The same junction at Cleckheaton will give to Bradford and the important iron works at Wibsey, and Low Moor, the nearest ronte to Selby, Hull, and the east; consequently this railway company may fairly lay claim to carry a large portion of the raw material and ma nufactured productions, used and produced in that densely-peopled portion of Yorkshire. From a point on the main line at or near Soothill, it is intended to make a branch to Wakefield of about five miles down the Alverthorpe Valley, there to join the Pontefract and Goole, the Wakefield branch of the London and York,. and the Midland Railways. It is evident, therefore, that the proposed railway and its intended branch (aided by the West hiding Union line between Bradford and Cleckheaton) will provide the shortest rotite hitherto projected from Halifax and Bradford to Wakefield, Doncaster, and the eastern counties. From Halifax to the proposed junction at Methley the distance will be about nineteen miles ; and, although the undulating surface of the country along a portion of the line will occasion some expensive works, yet the proposed capital is amply sufficient to complete the whole of the railway, with its branches and stations. And the pro moters are enabled to state most confidently that the through and local traffic in passengers, goods, and minerals, will be such as to render this undertaking one of the most profitable in the kingdom. The gradients are not unfavourable, there are no rivers or canals to cross, and the project does not interfere with ornamented property of any kind. The Parliamentary survey is now in progress and will be ready for the forthcoming session. The liability of the shareholders will be limited by the Act of Par liament to the amount of their s hares, and power will be taken to allow interest at 4 per cent. on all de p osits and calls from the time of payment to the opening of the line. A more enlarged prospectus, together with the names of the mean an influen tial Provisional Committ ee, will short l y be published; in time, every information may be obtained of the solicitors, to whom application for shares may be made in the subjoined form. A pre ference will be given in the allotment to landowners on the line and parties locally interested. By order, CARR and NETTLETON, Solicitors to the Promoters.

There can therefore be little doubt but that the present line must become a profitable and eligible scheme for the investment of capital. The promoters of this undertaking have pleasure in announcing that it is approved of, and will be generally supported by local in fluence. They have caused a partial survey to be made, which will be completed shortly, and they have the assurance of their engineers that there are not more than ordinary difficulties to contend with. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted, by Act of Parlia ment, to the amount of their subscriptions; and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at 41. per cent. per annum on all calls from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.

The Direct London and Liverpool Railway is also a Direct Liver pool and Birmingham Railway It uses the London and Birmingham Railway the whole distance to Birmingham—from thence it proceeds to Wolverhampton, either on the Grand Junction, or on the Wolverhampton, Nadley, and Bir mingham Wolverhampton ainßailway commences the new portion of railway, • mi F n r g o h consisting of 55 miles only, and passing through Newport and Whitchurch on to Chester. At Chester the Direct London and Liverpool Railway proceeds on the Chester and Birkenhead Railway to Birkenhead. ' It is proposed to establish at Birkenhead a steam ferry, gratis, to Liverpool across the Mersey so as to unite both towns into one. This railway has the advantage of passing through the towns on route without materially increasing the distance. The principle of the Direct London and Liverpool Railway, as in the case of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, is to obtain a direct through line between some of the most populous districts in the kingdom with the least possible amount of new railway, and eonsequently the smallest expenditure of capital. The Direct London and Liverpool Railway opens up an entirely new district. at the same time that it interferes but slightly with existing railway interests. The Maps, plans, estimates, and other documents, required by the standing orders of Parliament, will be lodged with the parish clerks, clerks of the peace for the counties, and the Parliamentary offices, on the 24th day of November, being six days within the time required by the regulations of Parliament. .A preference in the allotment of Shares will be given to the extent of 15,000, to the original Shareholders in the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway Company, on their sending in applications for the same. A proper reservation of Shares will be made for the London and Birmingham, Chester and Birkenhead, and Warwickshire Railways, being the railways by means of which the project now submitted to the public is the most Direct London and Liverpool Railway that can be made. As the aPPlications are exceedingly numerous, an early day will be named fur closing the lists. In the mealtime application for shares may be addressed to the solicitors or any of the agents of the company in the following form : FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

This railway is proposed to commence at Uxbridge, proceeding thence to the Southall station of the Great Western Railway, and then through Heston to Hounslow, there meeting one of the proposed lines to Hounslow from London. Leaving Hounslow the line pro ceeds through Whitton, Twickenham, Teddington, and Hampton, to Kingston, and, crossing the Thames, joins the Kingston station of the South-Western Railway, whence it will proceed to, and terminate at ,Epsom. The towns and places through which the line passes, or most imme diately affects, contain an aggregate mulation of about 200,000 persons. the presents o unte t hinehmabniettandtisreouft communicationthe through thn/present West Drayton, and don, Heytels7 Southall, &c., at e u tA , k c e n n ntr by ue t t h in e g eoa f ai nm es, b vE to . wi , cir cuitous route to London, by coach or omnibus imPnrt with the th of e m tr e x u tro bri _po dge lia, tids adopt ingline railway accommodation, the corn returns of Uxbridge show an I n _ thence by the Great Western Railway.

The importance of connecting two such towns as Uxbridge and Brentford with Kingston, Croydon, and Epsom, three of the largest market-towns in Surrey, between .which the present agricultural traffic is extensive, is too obvious to require comment.

This Company has been formed for the purpose of constructing a line in continuation of the South-Eastern Railway at Reiff - ate, whereby a direct junction will be effected between the whole of the south-eastern coast, including the port and harbour of Dover and the several ports and towns of Southampton, Gosport, Portsmouth, and Bristol ; and, by mesas of the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, with Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the north of From its proximity to the Continent, the port of Dover will always be the most accessible point of the English coast ; an expeditious communication therefore between that and the other ports, harbours, and inland.towns of the United Kingdom, must necessarily be regarded as a great national advantage. Dover is at present the chief port of embarkation for Calais Boulogne, Ostend, and other contin e nt a l towns, and the vast number; already resorting there both on business and pleasure, will be im measurably increased when the railways of France, Belgium, Hol land, and Germany are fully brought into operation. In addition to which, the Government Commissioners having selected Dever as a Harbour of Refuge, and recommended the outlay them of 1,500,000/., it cannot fail of becoming a place of the greatest resort for the shipping and commercial interests of the coun try, and perhaps the most important town on the southern coast. In every point of view, therefore, whether for national security, er for travelling excursions, or the invaluable interests of our shipping and commerce, the paramount importance of a cheaper, more conve nient, and accelerated intercourse between this great port and all parts of the kingdom, must be sufficiently obvious. This the pro moters fully anticipate will be attained by the proposed railway, which will form a portion of a grand trunk line, completing tits chain of railway communication upon the narrow gauge between the south-eastern coast, and Bristol and the western, northern, and mid land counties. _ _ _ . The lime will commence at the terminus of the South-Eastern Rril way at Reigate, proceed thence by Dorking, Gocialm'rN, Frrnhr , n, and Odiham to the Basingstoke station, en the South-Western Rail way. It will then proceed by Andover towards Devizes, Trow bridge, and Bradford, with a branch to Bath, and pursuing its course through the Somersetsbire coal-field, throwing off a branch towards Radstock int* the heart of the collieries, terminate in *junction with' the Bristol and Birmingham Railway at Bristol. - By its course through Dorking, Godahning, Farnham, and Odl ham, it will supply the railway accommodation so much required by those towns, and connect the rich and fertile him districts of Surrey, Kent, and South Hants, and afford the means of conveyance 0' their produce to the great Hop-fair at Weyhill. By its junction with the contemplated " Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Railway," it will afford to the inhabitants of Reading, Oxford, and to the midland counties generally, the best and shortest route to the Continent, as well as to Worthing, Hastings, Brighton, and the other watering-places in Sussex and Kent ; and a vast increase of visitors will undoubtedly be attracted to those places from the interior of England by the accommodation and facilities for travelling which will be accomplished by this and the proposed railway from Reading. By its intersection of the South-Western Railway at Basingstoke, and of the proposed Manchester and Southampton Railway further west, the present line will connect Dover towards the south, with Southampton (the packet station for the East and West Indies, &c.), Gosport, and Portsmouth, and towards the north, with Cheltenham, Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool, also with Shrewsbury, Chester, and Holy - head, and in fact with the whole of North and South Wales. At Basingstoke, also, this line will join the proposed London, Salis bury, and Yeovil Railway, and throw open to Dever and the south eastern counties the populous and wealthy cities of Salisbury and Exeter, the rich agricultural counties of Wilts, Dorset, Somerset, and Devon, the ports of Plymouth, Devonport, and Falmouth, and the mineral regions of Cornwall. To Devizes, Trowbridge, Bradford, and Bath, and the other towns in the vicinity of Its course, the benefit .which this line will confer can-tot be too highly estimated; to the coal districts of Somerset shire it will open large and constant markets both in Bristol and to the south and east, while to the inhabitants of Bristol especially, con necting its channel with the Straits of Dover and the Downs, pro viding a perfect line for telegraphic communication, and securing to them the whole of the trade between the south-east of England and the west and south of Ireland, it seems difficult, considering the enor mous traffic which must necessarily flow to that city, to conceive a project more deserving of their cordial support. In the memorable Parliamentary contest last session between two great rival companies, the Legislature for the first time admitted tkat principle of competition with existing interests which was claimed by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company for the protection and benefit of the public ; and it is with no fear of the result that the promoters of the present undertaking invite attention to one distinguishing feature it contains, viz., that by the construction of the line from Bristol to Basingstoke, the Box Tunnel will be avoided, and a new and independent communication will be established between Bristol and London, by a shorter line on the narrow gauge than by the devious course of the Great Western, inde pendently of all the advantages of the proposed central station at Hungerford-bridge, and the convenient access to the Thames both there and at Nine Elms, over the distant and inconvenient station of the Great Western at Paddington. . . In length the proposed line will be nearly 110 miles (assuming this Company to have the construction of that portion between Reigate and Dorking, for which plans have been deposited by the South- Eastern Company)—the country through which it passes does not present any engineering difficulties of moment, nor will any resi dential er ornamental property be interfered with except under an ireperative necessity. A reserve of shares will be made for landowners on the line, and the Committee also retain to themselves the power to vary the course of the line with reference to any arrangements with existing interests and projected lines that may be considered advantageous to the shareholders. The capital proposed to be raised is 1,500,000/., in 75,000 shares of 201. each, with a deposit of 2/. 2s. per share, to be paid on allotment. Power will be taken by the Act to allow interest, at 4/. per cent. per annum, upon all deposits and subscriptions until the opening of the line, and no subscriber shall be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act has been obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract will be ready for execution, and the scrip issued immediately upon pay ment of the deposits. Applications for shares must be addressed to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, No. 12, Gray's Inn-place, only ; but no appli cation will be attended to unless accompanied by a reference to a member of the Provisional Committee, one of the solicitors to the Company, or a banker.

LONDON to DUNGENESS POINT. (Provisionally Registered.) A Company has been formed or the purpose of making a harbour and docks at DUNGENESS POINT and connecting them by means of a short line with the Tunbridge and Rye Harbour Railway to London. A view of the map will at once show the great national advantage of this harbour as a port of refuge, and the certainty of its becoming the port for the whole of the French and Peninsular traffic, being a considerable saving in distance both by land and sea, in comparison with the present routes by Dover and Folkston. The merits of this scheme will he best estimated by a reference to the report of the Government Commissioners on the projected har bours of refuge. Prospectuses; vith the names of the Committee and details of the plan, will be published in a few days ; meantime all communications may be addressed to William Best, Esq., solicitor, 35, Lincoln's Inn-fields. Preference in the allotment of shares will be given to holders of scrip in the Tunbridge and Rye Harbour Rail way, and the French Companies in connexion with this line. ~. ~
