This project is wholly in- Er 'es any c ts rl M L iaati onal the r e already befaro the public, and as it be e° , ‘ d varitagel wills% none can surpass, must, when beit,414.41e, Witnoo texcecti;,n the most important railway One of the first objects of this Company will be to obtain a most central and accessible terminus iu London, and Farringdon-street hai been fixed upon for that purpose. It is proposed to make a tunnel from that point to the Great Western station, from whence the line will be continued in as direct a 'course as possible to Holyhead In its progress it will pass through or near to the following towns : —Rickmansworth, Chesham, Werulover, and Aylesbury ; it will then proceed to within a short distance of Bicester and Deddington, and from thence to Banbury; it will touch upon Kineton or Kingtown, thence proceed onward to Stratford-on-Avon, approach 'Within a short distance of Warwick, Alcester, and Worcester, where it-will cross the Birmingham and Gloucester Railroad near to liremsgrove, and proceeding thence to Kidderminster, Bridg,north, and Wenlock, near to Broseley and Coalbrookdale, will enter the Vale of the Severn, which it will traverse to Shrewsbury; it will thence con tinue its route up the course of the Severn, and passing into the Vale of the River Vyruwy, will proceed to Llau-y-mynech, Lieurhaladr, and Mschnant, accommodating Welchpool, Oswestry, and Blangolles. At this point there are three passes, which have been inspected, and it remains for the engineer to select one as an entrance or passage into the Vale of the River Dee, when the line will proceed round by Corwen into the Vale of the River Alwen, from whence it will run nearly parallel with the great Holyhead Mail-coach-road, by Pentre voelas to Capel Cerrig, it will then descend the Vale of Nant Francon to Bangor and Holyhead. This line will in its progress feed, and be also fed by the most consi siderable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, and Bristol ; the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton ; the London and Birmingham ; and the South Stafibrdshire Railway. As this last line will connect Dudley, Bilston, Wednesbury, Walsall, and Lichfield wills the Derby Railway .and the Grand Junction Railway, it would be superfluous to expatiate on the advantages of brink lug all those important centres of the coal and iron trade and other traffic, and the vast coal and iron fields of Shropshire into close intercourse, and thus establishing the cheapest and quickest means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and the furnaces of Staffordshire, and the markets of Dublin, London, and Birmingham. The success of the undertaking is secured beyond a doubt, by the obvious fact that it will net only bring the richest mineral and manufacturing portions of England much nearer t• the two capitals, but it will open for the carriage of the valuable pro duce of these districts the intermediate country not at present pos sessed of any direct line of railway communication. On the other hand, the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway will give to London ant the neighbourhood of Birmingham a route to Dublin shorter by nearly seventy miles than that of any other exist ing railroad ; and finally, enable travellers to complete the entire distance in ten hours. It will also ensure two mail deliveries in the day. Up to the point where the line approaches Corwen, no engineering difficulties are presented. At Corwen a deviation from the stra!ght line may be requisite to avoid tunnelling, after which a straight line will be resumed to Bangor, where that already is construction will be rdopted fur the rest of the route to Holyhead ; or, if found de al. able, power will be taken in the Bill to continue an independent line by Peaumaris to Holyhead. After a c:reful investigation if the traffic arising fl em passengers, the conveyance of mineral and agricultural produce, and the direct transmission of the mails, the Directors fe.l warranted in anticipating a return of at least ten per cent. on the capital invested. A treaty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run powerful steamers between the harbours of Holyhead and Kingston on the arrival of the trains, so that passengers and merchandise may be booked throughout from London to Dublin, including all the inter mediate stations, and be thus enabled to complete the entire distance in ten hours, without the inconvenience so painfully felt of changing from the conveyance of one proprieta , yto that of another. The railways now in active pr. press in Ireland, running from Dublin north and south throughout the heart of the island, render it self- evident that the chain of comnsunication between the sister countries is, by this present undertaking, rendered at once complete and intimate to the last degree. As the leading aim of this Company is to save time and distance, every attention et the Directors, and every advancement in science wilt be made available to gain the utmost possible amount of speed, com patible with safety, the lines being formed expressly for this end while, filially, the very lowest rate of fares will he adopted for both passengers and traffic, and the public will find in the improvement c f the inferior carriages, and some additional comforts far those of the , first ',lass, that the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Rad way will be placed in advance if any other now existing, and in all its details will be rendered worthy an enterprise se national in its character. .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 a' num on the amount of the subscriptions paid up; and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription.

S EME TART—JOIIII retherick, Esq., pro tern. This Bail/ray is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Values, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis• Lance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district, ene of the richest and most important in South Wales, which is at present without the means of transit for its immense and valuable products. It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of Glamorgansbire, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal in im mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly flat, and, . olasi table, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition to its being of excellent quality for iron making, as is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdare, is also, like that of those districts, of the very host descripttm for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although inflammable,, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de-' scription of coal established for steam purposes over any other, that the demand for it tar exceeds the supply, and promises. accord ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super sede all others for purposes of steam navigation. This source of traffic alone will afford a handso•.me return for the capital invested, as has been demonstrated in every instance where even train-roads or catiala have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other less promising vallies in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro ductions. An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by means of this Railway, much Dearer and cheaper than by any other line. This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich vales of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great Matket town and port of Cardiff, from whence, at present, they may be said to lerahnost excluded. It is intended that the line shall commence at Blaen Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by a natural pass between the hills at Irma Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and th:re join the South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication under the most advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the Bristol channel.

It will commence at a point of junction with the Brighton and Lewes Railway at the town of Lewes, and proceeding by tke Valley of the Ouse, pass by Uckfield and Rotherfield, thence following the valley to Groombridge, proceed to Tonbridge Wells, and there form a junction with the Tonbridge Wells branch of the South-Eastern Railway. The length of the line will be about twenty-two miles. The neces sity and advantages of this line of railway are self-evident—it will connect Brighton immediately with the populous and fashionable neighbourhood of Tonbridge Wells, and more mediately it will con nect Southampton, Portsmouth, Chichester, and the ports of the western coast of Sussex, wills the important towns of Maidstone. Chatham, Rochester, Canterbury, and Dover; thus effecting the greatly desired object of the shortest and most rapid communication between Dover and `Southampton. The internal communication between Kent and Sussex will be thus rendered complete. The following towns and populous villages are in constant trading communication with Lewes and Brighton, and will be accommodated by this line :—Barcombe, Ringmer, Isfluid, Little Bursted, Uckfield Maresfield, Frani pfield, East Ifoathly, Mayfield, Witliyham,Wadhurst, Newhaven, and Harbour, Waldron, Fletching, Buxted, Rotherfield, Lamberhurst, Front, Ticehurst, Groombridge, Hartfield, Ashurst. The existing local traffic will thus be alone sufficient to prove highly remunerative. exclusive of the great passenger and goods traffic that must of necessity flow into this course as soon as the sie cessary accommodation is afforded. Detailed traffic tables are in course of preparation. The preliminary surveys have been com pleted, and no difficulties, engineering or otherwise present them selyes, but, on the contrary, this railway will be of! facile construc tion, and easy gradients The landowners generally are favourable to this line, to which tkey have pledged their support. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at the rate of 4 per cent. on all paid-up calls from the passing of the Act until the completion of the line, and the !Mislay of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of the subscription. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company will be under the control of the Committee of Management for the time being, to whom power is given to allot the shares, and to apply the funds of tile Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its formation, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to he submitted to Parliament. rower will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime is hereby given to the Committee of Management, as above, to raise any ad ditional capital, to anandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements with any other company or companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of i lie Company. Applications for copies of the prospectus and shares, in the usual form, may be made to the promoter, William Hallett, Esq., Brighton; to W. B. James, Req., London; to W. P.

This C impany is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to Derby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Yugby Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest route from Liverpool to London. It will commence at Liverpool, and proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to within a short distance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off, in a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, Knutsford, and Congleton to Leek (there joining the Manchester and Rugby Rail way), and from thence through Ashbourne to Derby. The whole length of the proposed line will be about sixty-six miles. It will be seen by reference to the map that this important line of railway will form the shortest route from Liverpool to London, and effect a direct chain of communication between Liverpool and Derby, and will thence, by means of the Midlands and other railways, open an unin terrupted route to the more eastern counties, and afford a complete midland communication between the eastern and western parts of the kingdom and the important intermediate manufacturing districts. The most important feature in this railway is that it forms the shortest road from Liverpool to London. The distance by it, with the Manchester and Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will be only ISB miles, Whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and by the Trent Valley Railway 2001 miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles in one instance, and 12 1 /. 2 miles in the other. And as regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole distance between Liverpool and Derby will be reduced by this line to about 74 miles, time decreasing the distance by any present existing railway, at least 4G miles ; an advantlge which carries in itself the conviction of the necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to connect more immediately two such important towns, especially when these towns are but the foci, as it were, for other railways from still more distant localities, as before adverted to. The distance also from Manchester to Leek (where the proposed railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) will be about 30 miles, and from Leek to Derby about 26% miles, making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only 563 miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communi cation between those important towns by about 28 miles, an object most desirable to be attained, and of itself quite sufficient to recom mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial results. But great as these results most certainly will be, they are far out weighed by the very important consideration that, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway, it will also be the most direct route from Liverpool to London. The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of Junc tion with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 47% mike; from Leek to Rugby, according to the line as proposed by the Man chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and from Rugby to London 83 miles; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to London 188% miles, instead of 210, by the present route. With regard to the traffic and other details connected with the working of the line, it seems only necessary to revert to the great importance of the towns proposed to be brought into communication with each other, in order to convince the minds of all that the source of revenue thus derived will be immense. There are no engineering difficulties connected with the forming of the line. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now paid until the Act of Parliameat Is obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4/. per eent2 interest on all calls. - Applications for detailed prospectuses, maps, and shares, t r be made to the Secretary, at the office s, 28, Moorg,atLeo-snd ont: at Mr. Bethel's.

FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. To the Provisional Committee of the Huddersfield and Liverpool Mr. William Barker, 1 New-street, Huddersfield. Messrs. Brook and Freeman, The object of this undertaking is to form a continuous line of rail way- from Leeds to Liverpool, by extending the lines already made, or sanctioned by Parliament, from their respective termini at Hud dersfield, in Yorkshire, and Bury, in Lancashire, through the inter vening country between Huddersfield and Bury, for which extension a line of railway only 25 miles in length is requisite. The proposed line will commence at the Huddersfield station, between which place and Leeds, Parliament has already sanctioned the , ormation of rail ways, and from Huddersfield the proposed line will proceed by way of Hillhouse, Birchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along the valley between Stainland and Grectland, through k'sland, the Yale of Ripponden, and by Rochdale to Bury,in Lancashire, where it will join the terminus of the Liverpoo , and Bury line of railway. In addition to completing a direct communication from U.( •rpool to Leeds, Hull, and Goole by the shortest practicable route, and by a much smaller outlay of capital than by any other proposed line, it will provide for a large and important manufacturing population, hitherto without the advantage of railway accommodation, an outlet to the south by means of the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction Railway, and to Manchester and North and South Lancashire by the railways above mentioned, and by the Leeds and Manchester Railway, by a proposed Junction therewith at Rochdale. • This line when completed will, in addition to the advantnes it presents as a through line, pass through a succession of valleys thickly studded with ruins and manufactories, consuming a large quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought from a distance, and transmitting to other districts the produce of their in dustry, for which purposes a line of railway has become abiolutely necessary, and there can be no doubt that an ample return will be realised for the outlay of capital required. The distance between Huddersfield and Rochdale by the present line of railway is thirty miles, which by the proposed railway will he reduced to seventeen miles. The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the right of; that may into any arrangements with existing railway co ,c inim e n t i c e ) ; 1 , , 51. ! may appear desirable.

The establishment of the above railway will effect two great and important objects :—first, the supply of the metropolis and its vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre sent mode of transit: secondly, by the exclusion of passenger traffic to diminish the risk of accidents. The Board of Trade, in reference to the latter, have in their report upon the subject, laid great stress on the importance of separating the passenger from goods trains ; and the Select Committee of the House of Commons on the coal trade recommend that every means of promoting a new supply of coal should be encouraged. The existing lines for the north being already crowded to excess with trains of every class, travelling at velocities varying from fifteen to fifty miles per hour, and new railways being almost daily projected as feeders to the great trunk lines, the already prodigious traffic on those lines must be still further augmented; so that it may be truly assumed, that the addition thereto of several millions of tons of coals and goods is out of the question. It, therefore, becomes manifestly necessary, with a view to public convenience, and to supply the metropolis and the intermediate districts with coats from the coal fields in the north, from which at present the greater proportion is supplied, that an independent railway, devoted exclusively to the conveyance of coals and goods at a moderate and regular speed, should be constructed from Newcastle to London. It is, therefore, intended to confine this railway to carriage of coals and goods only ; and it is ascertained that the conveyance by railway of large quantities, for long distances, at a moderate speed, and at comparatively low rates, will be as profitable as the carriage of passengers at a greater velocity, The actual ex perience of the London and Birmingham Railway affords a safe ground for calculation; the expenses on that line for the year 1844 being 1,4721. per mile; at the same rate per mile, 2,000,000 tons of coal annually may be brought the entire distance from Newcastle; this quantity is about one-half of the present importation from London, making on the average from 13,000 to 14,000 tons daily. The extreme fluctuations to which the price of coal is subject from irregularity in the supply, dependent as it is on the uncer tainty of the winds and weather, has hitherto operated against the estabishment of manufactories on the banks of the Thames. From the same cause, also, London has, at Units narrowly escaped total darkness, the gas works not being able to obtain their regular supply of coals. In the course of the last five years the prices of household coal, on the Coal Exchange, have fluctuated between 14s. 6d. to 275. per ton, and last winter the price rose even to 355. per ton ; the high prices always occurring at a season when the scarcity, and consequently increased price of coal, is most distress ing to the poor. The removal of the colliers from the Pool is an important con. sideration, as it will necessarily render the navigation of the Thames safer for all other vessels: and it is no valid oljection to this undertaking, that it will supersede, in a great measure the employment of collier ships, because it is now ascertained, be yond all doubt, that coals can be brought to London by railway at 20 per cent less than those sea-borne; and, therefore, London kill be supplied from Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and South Wales, unless the present project, or one offering equal advantages to the northern coal owners, in their certain and fast approaching competition with the Infant collieries, be carried into effect. In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afforded to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods, which will materially increase the revenue of the Company. The estimated cost of the line is 5,000,0001, and the traffic, In coals alone, will give a net return of 10 per cent. It is proposed to raise the required capital in 200,000 shares of 251. each ; deposit 9/.. 12s. 6d. per share, the subsequent calls to be made In the usual way. The customary clauses will be inserted in the Act, limiting the li a bility of the shareholders to the amount of their respective shares. Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum will be allowed on all calls between the passing of the Act and the opening of tha railway, The Committee, with the view of enabling responsible parties (desirous to participate in the allotment) to secure at least some shares in this great undertaking, will permit the payment of a pre.. liminary deposit of 10a. 6d. per share previous to application being made; and will guarantee that the parties so paying, shall have shares allotted them, to at least the number upon which the sum paid by them as a preliminary deposit, shall cover the full deposit of 2/. 12s. 6d.
