Bringing the metropolis within a two hours' journey, it must of ne cessity- greatly increase the already well-established reputation of those justly celebrated watering-places, and bring to them an in creased number pf visitors, who ar: nor,- deterred from residing there by reason of the altsence of railway accommodation. Ts the inhabitants of Lewes and Brighton, the advantages rre pro portionately great. Passing as the proposed line will do throngh a great agricultural district, It will give increased facilities for the transport of the produce of those districts. In 1806, that eminent engineer, the late Mr. John Bennie, pro j.,cted a harbour and dock at Hastings; and,' subsequently Mr. Cubist, C E., and Mr. Brooks, C.E., surveyed the coast, and projected harbours in the same situation ; there can be no doubt a considerable portion of continental traffic must pass from Hastings to the opposite Ports on the French coast, the direct line between London and Paris being through Il&stings. Tiie existing trade and fishery of Hastings is ample to pay five per cent. on the coast of the harbour, pier, and dock, and the natural result of such accommodation opposite so many ports on the French coast, must he that of threefold increase. Strict attention to economy will he given lathe expenditure of the Capital, thereby guaranteeing to the put•lic low charges for the eon vava eor pa, en.ers and goods; and there can be no reasonable dou' t, that when the traffic is fairly developed, the full rate of ten r cent. will be paid, and a surplus left for branch lines, or a reduc tion of fares. In drawing attention to t',e merits orthis undertaking, it should be ohserved, that the formation of a trunk line between the metropolis and Hastings, one of the most hea thy and fashionable watering place.; in the kingdom, which is increasing in estimation the more its valuable resources are developed, in addition to the formation of a harbour, pier, and dock—the great improvement in steam naviga tion—the establishment of railways between Paris and the ports on the French coast opposite Hastings, " render this one of the most import int, as well as direct lines of communication, between London and Paris," es reference to the map will clearly point out. There are no engineering difficulties ; and the lines are under survey, for the purpose of depositing plans, &c., previous to the en suing session of Parliament. The liability of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions, and in allotment of shares a preference will be given to landowners on the respective 1 nes ; and power will be se cured in the Act to allow four per cent. on paid-up capital previous to opening the lines.

Ttis railway will commence at Sheerness in conjunction with a short steam-ferry communication from a point at or near to South• end, ou the opposite Essex coast, and will proceed from Sheerness by Queenborough to Faversham, where it will form a junction with one of the proposed lines from London by that lowa to Canterbury and Dover. _ _ _ The integral line will be Continued from Faversham to or near to Herne Buy, and from thence to the tiouth=Eastern Extension Railway (now being made), at a point near Sarr, and will then pro ceed on that line direct to ltamsgatc eastwards, and direct to Peal south-eastwards. From a point between Herne Bay and Bart the line will also be carried by a short eXtenSion to Margate. By this project Marge° will be placed within 75 miles of the me tropolis instead of more than 100, as at resent, and tha , , too, by a direct line through Faversham, at which place it will meet the Lon don lines. _ _ The important town of Ramsgate, now so extensively connected with continental cornmanicAion, will also be thus afforded a much nearer overland route. to London ; and Deal, Ramsgate, Margate, Herne Bay, Sheerness , Chatham, Rochester, Gra ve s en d, Woolwich, Greenwich, and London, will all be placed in immediate or easy con nexion upon one continuous line of railway. By means also of this undertaking, in conjunctl)n with the exist ing and projected railways proceeding to the south coast of Essex, the whole of the passengers and traffic from Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Hull, York, and the Northern, the Midland, and the Eastern Counties, will be conveyed to Dover and the Conti nent via Sheerness, in preference to a - lengthened and cir cuitous route through the ;metropolis, whereby the journey will be shortened more than M;) miles, travelling expenses will be curtailed. and the serious inconvenience and delay of transhipment and con veyance from one part of London to another wholly avoided. A glance at the map also will show the immense advantage which the metropolis itself will enjoy by its being thus afforded other routes to the coast of Kent. The millions who annually seek pleasure in excursions to Gravesend, Sheerness, Southend, Herne Bay, Margate, Itamsgate, Deal, and Dover, will have a choice of different routes. They may proceed by railway, on the Essex side of the Thames, to the Thames Haven, Tilbury Fort, or Southend—pass over to Sheer ness by water, and thence proceed direct by this railway —or they may reach Sheerness wholly by water, and then avoid the sea —or, may pass at once from London, on the Surrey side of the Thames, to Sheerness, Ilene Bay, Margate, and Ramsgate, by railway hi a direct line, consuming ouly about two hours in the journey, and may vary their pleasure by going in one direction and returning by another. Independently of the vast multitudes who will thus seek health and recreation, the importance, as a national object, of connecting all the above-mentioned towns, ".and giving a direct line from Sheerness to Dover, together with the immense existing traffic In the direction of the undertaking, and the great increase which the improved and enlared modes of communication throughout Kent will occasion, must be too apparent to need further observation ; and the Commit tee, from careful inquiry, feel confidence in stating that no scheme of railway has yet been offered to public attention combining greater public and private advantages. About thirty-six miles of new railway only will embrace all the above important objects—viz., from Sheerness to laverrham about 2 •• • • •• • . Faversham to Herne Bay • • Thence to Sarr • • • .• • ••••••••• • • • • • .. . The extension to Margate ...... ..... .... The country has already been preliminary surveyed, and found to be exceedingly favourable. Indeed, it is almost a dead fiat from Faversham to Margate. The landed propi : letors are not only willing but desirous that the undertaking should be accomplished, and it is at the request of many of them that the promoters have determined on prosecuting it. The Committee reserve the power of making branches to Canter bury and to Deal, if circumstances .shoal I hereafter render it ad visable. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest, at 4 per cent. per annum on all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.

It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull, at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica tion will he completed by throwing out new lines., where requisite. CommenCing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29 miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid land Counties Railway The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be carried forward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not tingham arid Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing out of the line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act Was obtained by the Midland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament. From Gainsborougi: this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the- Humber, or New Holisad, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby rendering complete and entire the chain of communicatiou between smingliam and Hull. this project the advantages will result to the public of a • Direct line from Bermingham to Nottingham, „ Famingham to Gainsborough, -an Birmingham to Hull; adt.7 and by means o( go, de-la-la a direct line from and the intended eten.:l°.

LOCAL SOLICITORS. Messrs. Manners and Son, Grantham Messrs. Millington and Kcnrick, Boston. SECRETARY—George Eimer, Esq. The object of this line of railway is to connect, by a direct route, the important town and seaport of Bosto* with the centre of Eng land, by way of Grantham and Melton Mowbray, where it will join the Syston and Peterborough branch of Ma M idlanti Counties Railway. It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the advantages which will arise from this railway, which passes through one of the richest and most fertile parts of England. The population is dense, and a glance at the map will show that this line is well laid out, net only for the direct traffic from Leicester and the intermediate ',laces to itoston, but also for the general traffic which will se brought to this line by the several railways which will be connected with it. By this railway, which will be about forty-four miles in length, and laid through a country nearly level, it is intended to pass by or near Swineslmd, Donington, Folkingham, Grantham, Stoke, Roch ford, and Melton Mowbray. It is evident that this line will be of great convenience and wility, by affording to a part of the country et present deprived of it the advantage of railway communication with the counties of Rutlandsblre, Leicestershire, Northampton shire, Warwickshire, &c., and thus connecting the agricultural districts of Lincolnshire with the manufacturing parts of England, affording to the latter an easy and accessible means of export for their manufactures. In the allotment of shares, holders in the Midland Counties Rail way will receive a preference, and reservation will be made for the landed interests along the line, whose concurrence and assistance is fully relied on by the promoters, by whom most of the influential landholders have been canvassed ; and, in order to prevent unnes sary trouble, no other applications will be reedved except those v herein reference is made to a in,niber of the Provisional Commit tee, to the Solicitors or Bankers, or the following SharelArokerm, from whom prospectuses and plans may be obtained : Messrs Sutton, Dribble, and Sutton, Royal Exchange Messrs.

The proposes! line, as regards both public Interest and private speculation, will very much surpass any other that has been pro jected from Sligo to Dublin—fint uniting with the Dublin and Galway at Athlone, it will pass in a direct line to Sligo, having a branch to Ballina, thereby affording rkltway communication to the great fair and market towns in the counties of Roscommon, Mayo, and Sligo, and ter minating at the important se sport and garrison town of Sligo, where it will also unite with the line to Enniskillen, and thus form a junc tion betw , !en the northern, southern, and western lines, opening a continuous and the most direct railway communication be tween the great commercial and manufacturing towns of the pro vince of Ulster, and the cities of Cork, Limerick, Waterford, and I Kilkenny, and with Galway, and the other large towns and seaports in the south-east and west of Ireland, and also giving to the coun ties of Sligo, ➢fayo, and Roscommon, a line of railway to the me t:opolis, The Athlone and Sligo Junction will receive the full support of the - .ors of the Great Southern and Western, and the Dublin and — ' 4 lway Companies.

This lire is undertaken by the proMoters of the Irish Great Western Railway, in consequence of the very generally-expressed wish of the nobility, gentry, and inhabitants of the county of Mayo, a a of the northern division of the county of Galway, districts as yet untmuched by railway projects. It is proposed that it shall leave the trunk line at Loughrea, a point which will facilitate cOinintintea tion equally from the North of Connaught to the port of Galway, on the west ; and to Ballinasloe, Athlone, and Dublin, on the cast. From Loughrea the line will- be carried by Tuam to Castlebar and Westport, and will afford accommodation to the towns of Athenry, Monivca, Castle-Blakeney, Mount Bellew, Moylough, Dumnore, Tuam, Hollymount, Ballinrobe, Claremorris, the assize town of Cestlebar, and Westport. The two counties, Mayo and Galway, :core immediately interested in the formation of this railway, contain a population, amounting (according to the census of 1841) to 811,810 persons. The counties comprise a district, with respect to which Sir John Burgoyne, the Chief Commissioner of Public Works in Ireland, on his examination before a Committee of the House of Commons, stated it as his Wilton that he" did not know any county where traffic would be more likely to be created." This coast is pro vided with convenient harbours, and abounds with the most vale abh. It is intended next year to take steps to extend this line to Ballina and Sligo. With respect to the construction of the line, the engineer, Sir John Macneill, thus writes : " TUAM AND CASTLEBARRAILWAY, WITHA BRANCH TO WESTPORT. " This line leaves the Irish Great Western Railway near Loughrea, at a distance of 112 miles from Dublin, and 20 from Galway. It runs thence in a north-westerly direction, passing at the Bth mile, near Athenry, and at the 12th, near Monivea, and at the 24th - mile, it arrives at the town of Tuam. It reaches llollymount at the dis tance of 39 miles from Loughrea, and passing Ballyglass, accom• pushes the distance to Castlebar by a line of 56 miles in length. From near this town it is proposed to carry a branch 10 miles long, to the rising town of Westport, situated on Crew Bay, which contains a series of most excellent harbours. " This line will pass through a country which presents no engi neering difficulties, and where the levels are most favourable,. and by means of the Irish Great Western Railway, and the Great Southern and Wcotern Railway and ita Branches, will afford a direct communication from the east, south, and south-cast of Ireland, to the north-west. "JOHN MACNEILL." A separate Bill will, of course, be sought for this branch, hut the Provisional Management will be placed in the hands of a section of the Provisional Committee of the Irish Great Western Company, with the addition of some gentlemen of local influence and station, wher , by the expense sill be considerably reduced, and unity of action secured in the conduct of the two undertakings. The capital required will be 660,0001., to be divided into 33,000 sha•es of 201. each, with a deposit of 2/. per share. A portion of these have already been placed at the disposal of the shareholders in the Irish Great Western Railway ; and applications for the re mainder, made according to the subjoined form, will be received until the 25th of October instant.

It can hardly admit of a question, that tilt principal part of the passenger traffic between the two capitals, London aatl DAISSeIs, to gether with the passenger traffic of the populous cities of AntifiSfp, and Ghent, the latter being the Manchester of Belgium, and the im portant towns of St. Nicholar and Tierlmond, will be, under thee: circumstances, drawn into this channel; and another important ad vantage to the public, and source of revenue to the Company, will be found in the transmission of the Belgian, German, and Prussian mails, which are now conveyed by steamers from Dover to Ostend, at a very considerable expense, and with much less certainty and ex pedition than if transmitted to Calais, a sea passage of only 24 miles, and usually made in two hours. The traffic and expenditure may be fairly estimated as follows : From 50,800 passengers, who, according to the recent re . . turns irom . 4lstend and Antwerp, annually visit the Conti- vent and return by this route, say, tro►.i each, on an are - rage, 10s. each way .... .£50,000 _ _ . _ For the transport of mails from the respective Governments Wine Local traffic in goods and passengers £llO,OOO Deduct the expenses of working the line, calculated et •... 80,000 .60,000 Thus leaving a profit of 10% per cent. to the shareholders, with every p-ospect of a consideraide increase annually in the traffic, as has been by experience proved to be the result on all the Oilier lilies in operation in Belgium, as well as other miliaria. The projected railroad would pass thrOtigh It perfectly level tract of country rich in agricultural productions, presenting no natural impediments to its construction, and would require neither tunnels nor viaducts ; and the only bridges necessary would be the spanning of a few dykes. Thus the construction would be unattended with heavy expense, and its working, when completed, of the same eco , nomical character; for, as experience has shown, the most consider able item iu working a railway is the supply of coal tbr the locomo tives; the proximity to the port of Dunkirk, and the easy access to the Belgian coal fields, obviate this difficulty. This line, which has been already examined by an eminent engi neer, will be about sixty miles in extent from one extremity to the other ; will connect In Its route the towns of Calais, Gravelines, and Dunkirk, in France, with Furness, Nieuport, and Bruges, in Bel gium ; thus securing a very important local traffic in goods and paS.- seng:rs, independent of the foreign traffic before alluded to, placing the possibility of its paying beyond all doubt. Arrangements are in progress and strongly supported bypersons of the highest influence both in Belgium and France for obtaining, the consent of the Belgian and Freneh Governments to the above line ; and as it is so obviously advantageous to the former Government to encourage the formation of a line, bringing two such important capitals as Brussels and London within ten hours distance of each other, and the intention of the latter to encourage the formation of a continuous line of railway raund the coast, little doubt is entertained by the Directors in Belgium, France, and England, ofsuch applications proving successful. _ In the event of the applications proving unsuccessful, the deposits will be returned, with the exception of a charge on each share, not exceeding five shillings.

I the necessary plans, sections, and estimates with the Belgian Goveres illent • Company's engineers, has also Mr. James Thomson, one of the gone over the line, and reports most .eavourably upon the peculiar facilities for the construction of the railway, and the entire absence of all engineering difficulties. The Chairman and two of the Directors e carefully traversed the whole of the line, and have received the ns tit positive as,tir p ances of support from the heal authorities and lani: ed The provinces which the railway will unite were th r u o n pr d ie b to y rs t . he census of 1844 to comprise a population of 2,188 551, a. ed the dis tricts which it will traverse arc situated in the heart of .Belgium,- and comprise an area of 165 square miles. The entire length eir the Belgian Grand Junction Railway will be 102 English miles. This portion of the country is emphatically termed the Granary Belgium, and, in addition to its vast agricultural produce, is rich in ironstone, lead, marble, stone, and slate quarries. It has also nume rous distilleries, extensive breweries, ironworks, and largesinanufac tories of porcelain, glass, paper, Beetroot, sugar, gunpowder, &c. The great coal-fields of Charleroi and Liege, which arc the most ex tensive in Belgium, will, by means of this line, be enabled to supply all parts of the kingdom at a very reduced rate. The Government lines already completed, as well as the several private lines now in course of construction, will necessarily be the feeders to the Grand Junction line, as it will unite with the whole of then, and will traverse a district destitute of all water communica tic's, and very imperfectly supplied with roads ; whilst the invariable rule of the Belgian Government not to permit any competing lines, murt necessarily ensure to this Company the entire traffic of the country through which this line will pass. Taeles, calculat a with reference to the present amount of traffic, have been carefully and accurately prepared ; and, upon the improbable as sumption that there will be no increase when the Grand Junction Railway is constructed, the shareholders would even then receive a large interest on their capital. But, as in all cases, and more parti cularly in Belgium, increased facilities of communication have /Seen accompanied by a great increase of traffic, there can be no doubt that the Grand Junction Railway Company well pay a considerable dividend to the shareholders.
