('inc or :he Apo obleets of this Company wit be to obtain a most ceeirral anti accessible termliuts in London, area vin ;:ton-street bee been filed tom tor that purpese. • It is proposed to make a tunnel from that point to the Great Western station, free whence the line will be continued fu as direct a course as post ale to I:olyhead In its progress it will pass through or near to the following towns —Rickmaneworth, Chesham, Wendover, and Aylesbney ; it will theta proceed to within a short thetance of Biceeter and Dethihigton, used from thence to Banbury ; it will touch upon Kineton or K ingrown, thence proceed onward to Strat'ord-on-Avon, approach within a short thstenee of Warwick, Alcester, and Worcester, where it will cross the Birmingham aria Gloucester Railroad near to itseinserove, and proceeding thence to Kidderminster, Bride-m.llh, and Wenlocle, near to Broseley and Coalbrookdale, will enter the Vale of the Severn, which It will traverse to Shrewsbury ; it will thenee con tinue its route up the coarse of.the Severn, and passing into the Vale of the River Vyru'vy, will proceed to Llan-y-raynech, Lianrhelatir, and Mecimant, aecomniodeting 'Welchpool, Oswestry, and Llattgodee . At this point there are three passes, which have been inspected, and it remains for the t...ineer to select one as an entrance or passee - c into the Vale of the River Dee, when the line will t reed rowel b Colleen into the Vale of the River Al wee, from whence it will ran nearly perallel with the great Holyhead Mail-c:atch-weel, by Poore 'metes to t lapel Cerrig, it will then descend HIV WC of Neuf. Francois to Bat eeor alai Holyhead. This line will halts progress feed, and be alto fed by the most must sideralee ralheeels of the kingdom, particularly fleee of the Great Western ; the Itirminehann (tiotateeter, ::rd Bristol ; the (WON, Worcester, and Weir,: hameton ; the London and Birmingham ; and the South Staffordeldre ra7lway. As this last line will co next Dien( y, Bilston, Wedeeseury, Walsall, and Lichfield with the Derby Midway and the Grand Junction Railway, it would be superfluous to expatiate en the advantages of lirieg- Mg all those important centres of the coal :ind iron trade and other trunk, and the vast coat and hem fields of :Shropshire into Gloss intercourse, and thus establishing the cheapest and quickest means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and tl:c furnaces of Staffordshire, and the markets of Dublin, London, and Birmingham. The success of the undertaking is secured heyotel a doubt, by the obvious fact that it will net only bring the richest mineral and manufacturing portions of England much nearer to the two capitals, hut 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 beilway will give to London and the neighbourhood of Birmingham a route to Dublin shorter by nearly seventy miles than that of any other ext.t ing railroad ; and finally, eeal.de travellers to complete the entire distance in ten hours. It will also ensure two mail deliveAes in the day. Up to the point where the line approaches Corwen, no engineering difficulties are presented. At Corwen a deviation from the straight line may he requis:te to avoid tunnelling, after which a straight line will be resumed to Bangor, where that already in construction will be adopted for the rest of the route to Holyhead ; or, if found de bit able, power will be taken in the Bill to continue an independent line by IT eaumaris to Holyhead. • After a careful investigation of the traffic arielne from passengers, the conveyance of mineral anti agricultural produce, and the direct transmission of the mails, the Directors fe I warranted in anticipating a return of at least ten per cent. en the capital invested. A tr aty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run powerful steamers between the harbours of Holyhead end Kingston on the arri al of the trains, so that passengers and merchandise mey 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 - y to that of another. The railways new in active pr gross in Ireland, running from Dublin north and south throughout the heart of the island, render it self evident that the chain of communication 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 of the Directors, and every advancement in scion, e wil . he made available to gain the utmost possible amount of speed, com patible with safety, the lines being formed expressly for this end ; while, finally, the very lowest rate of fares will be adopted for both passengers mid traffic, and the public will find in the improvement if the inferior carriages, and some additional comforts for those of the first lass, that the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Ra.l - will he placed in advance of any other now existing, and In all its details will be rendered worthy an enterprise E 0 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. p,r 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. Applications tor Shares may be made, in the subjoined form, to the following Solicitors, Brokers, and Agents : —Messrs.

The Provisional Committee of the North Loudon Junction Rail way Company have great satisfaction in intOrming their subscribers that negotiations arc now pending- between the Provisional Commit tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of the Thames of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City tragic north of London. To effect tt.is important object, an area of 10 acres of grouxd (the sonthera boundary of which is within COO yards of the Bank of England) I•as been mist carefully surveyed sad valued, and the re port of the architect and engineer Is of so favourable a character as to have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved b. ) them to in crease the capital of this Co m p an y to 1,300,000/. The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and most complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway companies who may co-operate with them, an object which will be effected by opening the very extensive and valuable space of ground alluded to, within the centre of the City of London. In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties Railway in dhoreditch, which will effect an entire junction between the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same time anent a direct communication between the whole of the rail. ways, which reach Loudon tzthe north of the Thames, and give MU development to each of their schemes by creating for them a common centre within the heart of the metropolis. Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Com pany, will he added that of those companies also who will eventually co-operate with the North London Junction Railway Company, and the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable line of railway. A lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district through which this Company proposes to run this line; by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed in immediate comunuication with the City ; white the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a fuel ity of connexion kith its suburban localities, necessarily affording it the 'greatest accommodation. With such important local resources, therefoi e, together with the vast traffic on which the shareholders of this Company have a right to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly anticipated, fully commensurate with the outlay of the proposed capital. That revenae will be derived thus : The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to 3,245, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirCs of which reach the City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,400 persons (Lily, half of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily is 30.894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, now uo. accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. From these sources the following products are derived • rcr Ana, Passengers from the Great Western and Birmingham Rail way, at 6d. each . ..... •••• .. . -£52,323 Passengers from the Eastern Counties to the City terminus of this Company, at 3d. each .. ••• • • ....... „ „ Omnibus passengers' traffic, at 6d. each, as taken at 142,208 tons of goods and parcels pass annually Man the Great Western and the London end Birmingham Rail ways Into the City, at an average cost of carriage of 3s.

The capital, as now extended, will be divided into 65,000 shares of 201. each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share evil be payable forthwith. A portion of the shares will be allotted to parties locally interested. The remainder will be distributed amongst the present shareholders and the public generally, upon applicatioa being made by them in a manner hereinafter mentioned. The Directors, in compliance with the advice of their Parlia mentary Agents, deem it expedient, in consequence of the recent standing urd rs of the Douse of Loads, to require a deposi of 10/. per cent. The shareholders are, therefore, requested, in order to carry this arrangement into effect, to deposit their scrip eatiticate with the Secretary, on or before the Ist of October next, in exchange for which they will obtain a certificate upon which the tankers of the Company will receive the amount of the difference payable, and, up :n producing the receipt and signing the new Parliamentary Deeds, freeh scrip will be delivered to them.

This railway will commence at the important town of 'Wolver hampton, proceeding through or mar to Seisdon, Trysull, and Cle verly, to the manufacturing town of Bridgnorth : from thence it wi❑ continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to Lud low, and there fall into other project d lines to all par:sof England, North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty-two miles. It will afford direr` communication between Ludlow, Bridgnorth, and Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c. ; and, by the South Staffordshire Junction Railway give to those towns and districts the most direct route for passengers and goods to and from the Central, Nord• Eastern, and Eastern parts of the Kingdom, and from which those towns have hitherto been excluded by every project of the day. It will convey to the agricultural districts of Herefordshire and South Shtopshire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow, coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, an i the Clee-hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those neces sary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle, sheep, cider, wool, hops, and other agricultural productions, as also timber from the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart of the mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fail tU produce an Immense traffic. To the towns embraced in this line, the value of obtaining thereby, at the cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will be of the utmost Importance. ... One principal feature in this projection is, that as either Ludlow or Itridgnorth will lie in the direct route of one of the projects to be pro posed to Parliament in the next session, for th*.most direct commu nication between Ireland and the Metropolis, this line will thereby afford to passengers the easistsommunicatiOn to and from the central parts of the kingdom. _ . It is satisfactory to the promoters to state, that they have the sanction of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the Shrewsisuryf Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Junction, and the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no project has been announced in competition with its acknowledged claim on public suoport. The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and can be eon eructed at a moderate cost, and has obtained the approval of the landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly protected. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the Company will be under the direction and control of the Committee of Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into such ar rangements as shall best serve the interests of this Company and the public, with existing or projected companies, and also to nominate the first diractors of the Company. Power will be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of Shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow four per cent. interest on the calls. Preference to the allotment of shares will be given to those locally interested, and to the shareholders of lines in connexion with this. No applications for shares can in any ease be attended to, unless reference be made to one of the Provisional Committee, the Solicitors, Bankers, or Brokers of the Company.

This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Yanks, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district, one 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-fleld of Glamorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal in im mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly fiat, and, obtainable, 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 best descripttsn 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 handsome return for the capital investesi, as has been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads or canals hays been constructed to open the mineral resources of ether less promising vallies- in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro ductions. .&n 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 nearer and cheaper titan 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 market town and port of Cardiff, from whence, at present, they may be said to be almost excluded. It is intended that the line shall commence at Patten Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by a natural pass between the hills at Ffrwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distanee of six miles) to Lanclay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there 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. A preliminary survey has already bean made by competent par ties, and it is found that the country admits of highly favourable gradients, so much so that It is confidently anticipated that the works will be executed very consiAerably under the advertised ca pital. The landowners along the line are favourable to this undertaking, and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the Provisional Committee. No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his de posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. Until an A4t of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to whom power is given to allot the Shan s, and to apply the funds of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its forma tion, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted to Parliament. Power will he applied for in the Act (and in the meantime is hereby given to the Managing Directors as above), to raise any addi tional capital, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or otherwise, with any other company or companies, and also to nomi nate the first Directors of the Company. In the allottment of Shares, a preference will be given to landowners on the line and other parties locally interested.

The population who re;ido open or in the Urn elMte nelehbour hood of the proposed line, i7ide , ,endent of the metropolis, ouil_bet ,,, eu the intended termini, exceeds 100,000, whose, Wants are almost wholly supplied from the London markets, &c., raid who have, at the present time, no mode of conveyance but upon the turnpike road. In the transit of huildfrg materials, corn, coal, lime, and other heavy goods, from the warehouses and wharfs on the banks of the Thames, and for marketable produce in each direction, this Ilua must become to them particularly useful and convenient. Some Idea may be formed if the local, necessity of this railway, when it is known that the number ofpassengers who avail themselves of the accommodation afforded by the several omnibuses and other pub (vehicles, running upon the turnpike rood, hove been ascer tained to caceed 2,600 daily. An equal number (at least) procee.i by private and other conveyances. Of foot passengers, ahhorgh no accurate estimate van be formed of them, it is considered that they at least numberfour times that of passengers who travel by con veyance. The tonnage of goods it is calculated will be in full pro portion to the receipt from passengers. Experience has fully proved, that on however liberal a scale the probability of future traffic in the transit of goods and passengers has been judged, almost every line of railway has, upon its completion, vastly exceeded the calculated amount. Time are, however, in th's instance, reasons for supposing that the extended facilities of com munication will cause more than an ordinary Increase in the con veyance of passengers. The country which tilt line of railway will open is singularly picturesque and beautiful, and in addition to the admired districts of Brixton awl Streatham, the long-favoured and much-frequented Beulah and Norwood v, id IT placetl v~itln cagy access, anti become more than ever, objects of interest and delight to the visitor and resident of the metropolis. There can therefore be little eoula but that the present line must become a profitable and s-!... , ine for the investment of capital. The promoters of this u, der r Lave pleasure in announcing that it is approved of, an I w:11 1 1 , :nerally supported by local in fluence. They have caused a part survey to be made, which will be completed shortly, anti they have the assurance of their en2lneers that there are not mere 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 app`icd 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- establishment of the above railway will effect twe great and important object& :—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 on the Coal Trade recommend that every means of promoting a new supply of coal should be encouraged. The existing lines from 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 line', 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. lt, therefore, becomes manifestly •necessary, with a view to public convenience, and to supply the metropolis and the intermediate districts with coals from the coal fields in the north (from which at present the greater proportion is supplied) that an indcper.dent 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 cx perienco of the London and Birmingham Railway affords a safe ground for calculation; the expenses on that line for the year 1544 being 1,47•_21. 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 unccr taitity of the winds and weather, has hitherto operated against the tstabishment of manufactories on the banks of the Thames. From the same cause, also, London has, at tines narrowly esc:.pcd total darkiiess, 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 mice rose even to 355. per ton ; the high prices always occurring at a season when the scarcity, and consequently increased prico of coal, is roost 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 objection 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 will be supplied from Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and South %Vales, 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 21. 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 liability 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, Prospectuses, with fuller information and in detail, together with Forms of Application, may be obtained on applying to the Solicitors of the Company, Messrs. Sutton, Ewens, Ommanney, and Prudence, 6, Basinghall.strect ; or to the Secretary, at the Com patsy's Offices, 50a, King William-street ; to Messrs. B. and N. Boyd, New Bank-buildings, and Messrs.

I2s. 6d. They, however, reserve to themselves the right of limiting this privilege to the extent of 100 shares, if a larger number should be ap:Ted for, or even of refusing it, in cases where they may find on inquiry that the applicant is not in their judgment eligible to be a shareholder; in such Cases the deposit will be immediately returned ; nor , will this privilege be extended beyond the deposition of 100,000 shares, after which the bankers of the Company will receive instructions to refuse further prelimi nary deposits. The preliminary deposits must be paid to the bankers of the Company, who will furnish a receipt for the same. The Corn. mittee caution the public not to negotiate such receipts, as their undertaking to supply the shares holds good only so far as the applicants, upon their references being examined into, prove re spectable and responsible. They particularly request that each applicant for shares who avails himself of this privilege will state, in his application, the amount of the deposit he has paid, and the number of the bankers' receipt.

To remedy the evils of delay and inconvei.ience to which parties are, at the present time, necessarily subjected in proceeding from 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; mid 2d. To supply to the numerous and wealthy inhabitants of the district through which the intended line will pass (at present wholly with out railway accommodation), a greatly improved means for the 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 wealthy and populous districts of Stockwell, Clapham, Brixton, Tulsc-hill, Streatham, Norwood, Beulah, and Thornton-heath, effect ing a junction at Croydon with the several existing or projected lines from that place. It Is also proposed to form a branch or bratsches from the neigh bourhood of Streatham to Mitcham and Tooting, and thus to extend 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 goods 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 circuitous route to Croydon, is a serious and unnecessary inconveni ence, entailing additional expense and delay. The removal of this long-felt grievance is a leading object with the promoters of the pre sent xndertaklng.

This undertaking is designed to supply the wants of an exten sive mineral and populous district, the local traffic of which alone is admitted to be sufficient to support a respray, and amply re munerate the share) ceders. The line selll not only eccomplish se desirable en object, but it alsopos ,- esses the advantage of fossning a (1 rect communication, by the shortest possible route (in connexion with existing and projected railways), between two of the most important divisions of the kingdom. It is intended to commence by joining the Grand Junction Railway at Stafford, and proceed by the Uotoxeter, Rochester, and Ashboui ne, to a junction with the Midland Railway, the Man chester, Buxton, Matlock and Midland Railway, and the Amber gate, Nottingham, Bo ton, and Eastern Junction Railway, at the General Terminus at Amber-gate; a short branch from Wirks worth will connect the line with that town, and the important limestone and mineral district connected with it. The line will be _bout forty miles long, and by its connection with the Midland Railway at Ambersgite, end the Derby and Crewe Ra lway at 15 - - toxetere will be the nearest practicable route from Sheffield, York, Leeds, Flute the populous manufacturing districts of Yerkshite and the north and north eastern part of England, to the salt districts of Cheshire, the Potteries, Liverpool and North Wales, and by its junction at Stafford with the Shropshire Union Railway, will be the nearest route from those important districts to Shrewsbury anal South Wales, and by the Grand Junction Railway, to the densely populated districts of South Staffordshire. The district is destitute of water communication, and it is only necessary to advert to n few of the prominent resources of the country to show the maeretude of the local traffic. The price of coals on all parts of the line is very high, being carted a distance of 10 to 15 miles. The cost of this indispensable attc'e of consumption will he res"ueed nearly one half, and this line will immediately communicate with the Derbyshire and Staf terdshire coal-fields. The line will pass several valuable quarries of Derbyshire marble which is extensively it,ed in all parts of the kingffen ; and also numerous lead-smelting works anti rolling m Its, producing latge quantities of pig and sheet teeth It will afford an inexhaustible supply of lime for the highly cultivated land on the hanks of the Dove and Southward. It will open the Derbyshire mines to the Zinc Smelting Works in the neighbourhood of Cheadle, and will afford a direct communication with Sheffield for the articles menu. tactured at those works, which at preset are carted to Derby, e distance of more than twenty miles. Already a large cattle traffic exists with th fa e cilit r i tv-eshof t t, whichish rail will the unquestionably be greatly augsneticithedaibid Yorkshire cattle will be y way, large impo r t a t io ns of • l uxur iant pastures of the Dove, tak brought hug in return r f etit:einignarril h e t ts e of the manufacturing towns, the cot n, cheese, wore, and other produce of the extensive and fertile agri. cultural district which surrounds the Staffordshire terminus of this railway. It will bring the a'ready large cheese and cattle fairs of tittoxeter and Ashbourne into grea' cr impartance. The iron furnaces of South Staffordshire consume annually more than half a million tons of limestone: tome estimates make the quantity exceed a million tons. It is well known that the iron masters give a decided preference to the limestone at the south of the I'eak, over any other that has hitherto been tried; the very greet fusibility of this stone rendering it peculiarly suitable as a Aux for reducing the stubborn iron ores of South Staffordshire, and were it not for the dilatory and expansive means of transit from Frogliall, it would now be used to the total exclusion of all other kinds. The proximity of this railway to the iron district, the fact of its entering the limestone range at tite most southern extremity, and the advantage of excavating the stone immediately on the line of rails, cannot brit ensure to it a very large share of that enormous traffic, if it do not engross the whole. The cost of the stone and expenses of delivery by the canal from Froghall to the iron district, amount to 7s. per ton, and by this railway , a fter allowin g a remu nerative toll, would be laid down at less tha n es. p er ton.
