The first line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Loughborough station on the Midland Counties line, and pre_ ceed through the Vale of Sheepshead, to Pegs Green Colliery, near to the terminus of the Leicester and Swannington Rail will', and from thence through the coal-fields of Swannington and Cole-Orton to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It will thence proceed across the Moira Coal-field and through the rich agricultural districts of Seal, Clifton Campville, and Edingale, to the Birmingham and Derby Railway, which it will cross near to Elford Park Farm, and thence traverse the Valley of the Tame until it reaches Alrewas, where it will form a junction with the branch of the Trent Valley line new in progress of making. At this point it also meets the proposed South Staffordshire line, by which means it reaches Lichfield, and by means of one of the proposed lines it will afford communication with Bir mingham. From Loughborough the line will be further continued to Asfordhy, on the Syston and Peterborough Railway, now hi progress, and by means of this latter line a direct intercourse will be opened with Melton Mowbray and the various towns through which that route passes to Peterborough. By means of its junction with the Trent Valley line at Alrewas, the Grand Trunk reaches Colwich, and there meets the proposed North Staffordshire line, which proceeds through the heart of th e P o tt er i es to Newcastle - under-Lyrae, Leek, and Macclesfield. By means also of the same Trent Valley line at Alrewas the Grand Trunk pro ceeds through Rugeley to Stafford, thus completing its route, and forming a connecting line between the Midland and Grand Junction Railways. This branch of the Hoe was formerly surveyed by Mr. Rastrick, and approved of by him as a canal communication, so that no engineering difficulties exist. The second line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Derby station, and taking the course of the Derby Canal proceed to Chellaston, where there are extensive plaster-works, and thence by Swarkestone to the river Trent, which it will cross near to the ferry at Weston Cliffe, and so proceed to Kings Newton and Melbourne. From the latter place it will pass by the village of Wilson to Brewton-on-the-Hill, where there are extensive lime-works, and thence proceed by Staunton Harold, communicat ing by a branch line with the lead, lime, and coal works there thence by the Lount Colliery to Worthington Rough, where it will follow the line of the Cole-Orton and Swannington Railway until its junction with the first line of the Grand Trunk at or near the Pegs Green Colliery, and so proceed from thence to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. .AtproAsesdhblo-tdtein-lgiam and Birmingham, a-,ZoucilthoGrandr and with unkfonns the ai proposedunction w Great h r i e h a e pt Manchester, Rugby, and Southampton Railways. Its importance as a line for passengers is too obvious for comment, forming as it does a complete junction between those two great thoroughfares, the Mid land and Grand Junction Railways, and by its branch from Derby to Ashby-de-la-Zouch another complete junction between the Great Northern and Southern lines now in progress, thus opening a direct line of communication to all parts of the kingdom. As a lino for traffic, the Grand Trunk will form the most direct transit to the Leicestershire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire iron and coal fields, to the Burton breweries, to North and South Wales, and Ireland to Scotland, and all parts of the north, and to the eastern, southern, and western parts of the empire. It will also be the nearest and most direct communication from the east to the north western manufacturing districts, as well as become the great route from all parts of the kingdom to the midland counties of England. The mineral resources are of the very highest order. The Moira coal-field is inexhaustible, whilst the coal-beds at Staunton Harold alone comprise the finest quality of Kennel to a depth of seven feet, with a super stratum of main coal to a depth of six feet. Tke sub stratum is yet to be worked. There are beds of Kennel and main coal at Cole Orton of equal quality, though not of equal depth with those of Staunton Harold, whilst the main coal at Swannington is un rivalled, being, in fact, the bowl of the Leicestershire and Derbyshire coal strata. It is needless to describe the beneficial results which must arise from this opening of the midland coal district to the Lon don and southern markets. At Staunton Harold and Calke exist rich veins of lead ore, now in full course of working. The properties of the Breedon, Staunton Harold, and Ticknall lime are so well known to agriculturists and others, that an extension of traffic for so valuable a commodity into nine remote districts must be of the utmost Importance to the practical farmer. In approaching the Trent, on leaving the lime district, the Grand Trunk will fall in with most valuable quarries of millstone grit, ser viceable for paving and building purposes, and for which a ready market would be found along the line. The country also abounds in gypsum, of which immense quantities are used in Birming. ham and elsewhere : these markets will thus become opened for the quarries at Chellaston. A new and extensive outlet will also be opened for the earthenware of Wooden Box and Griesley Potteries. Until the Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs will be ander the control of the Committee of Management, to whom power is given to allot the shares and apply the funds of the Company in payment of all proper expenses in the formation of the Company and otherwise. Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime the Committee of Management take power, to alter or extend the lines, to make branch lines, to abandon any part of the line, to raise addi tional capital, and to enter into arrangements with any ether Com pany or Companies.

This line will commence at the Long Eaton station of the Midland Counties Railway, and will proceed in a direct line to or near Castle Donington, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Measham, and Market Bosworth to Nuneaton; joining, at Market Bosworth, the Birmingham branch, projected by the Tamworth and Leicester Company, and at Nuneaton, the projected Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester Railway, at the point where that line crosses the Trent Talley line. Thus a direct communication will be formed between the important towns of Nottingham, Newark, and Lincoln on the one side, and Birmingham, Coventry, and Warwick on the other side, at the same time a rich mineral and agricultural district will be supplied with railway advantages. A reference to the map will show that this railway will also QOM mend other collateral advantages. There is no doubt that the proposed railway communication be tween Cheltenham and Warwick will be effected, in which case the proposed line will fill up the railway chasm at present existing be tween the counties of Gloucester and Worcester, and Nottingham and Lincoln. and thus form a direct line from the Severn at Glouces ter to the Humber at Great Grimsby. An amalgamation of the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction with the Grimsby Dock Company being now determined on, a large amount of capital will be expended in rendering Great Grimsby a port of the first importance ; and it must be obvious that the traffic to that port, from the district south west of Warwick, will be very great. The distance saved by the proposed line between Leamington, Warwick, Coventry, and Nottingham, will be about twenty miles ; and betwsen Birmingham and Nottingham, the saving will be about six miles. Being the shortest route from Birmingham to Not tingham and Lincoln, it must secure the traffic from Birmingham to Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great Grimsby ; and by joining with the Erewash Valley Railway at Long Eaton. it must command the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district south of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds, York, and the north of England generally. It will also afford a direct communication between Not tingham and the district bete can Warwick and Worcester, by means of the projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, and the Warwick and Worcester Railways. The entire length of the line will be about 28 miles. The Com pany's Engineer has completed his preliminary survey, and has made his report, that the character of the country through which the line is intended to pass is unusually favourable for engineering purposes. It passes directly through a very productive mineral district, in tersecting the Leicestershire coal-fields and lime-works, and will afford communication north and south, to the Derbyshire Potteries. With such an assured immediate and prospective amount of traffic, the profits en the small capital required cannot fail to be highly re munerative. Powers fer allowance of interest at four per cent. en the paid-up capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the amount of their subscriptions.

This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Vsllies, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district, ono 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 win pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of Glamorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal in im mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly flat, 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 Aberdeen, is also, like that of those districts, of the very best description 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 swe4lniel.a l have t ev h ne e d r be s eme f n o o r nsc ot p usr t a ir tt p eni o d s ci e tne d s e o vt f oe steam navigation. This source of traffic alone will a ff or d a handsome return for the cap i tal i nveste d , ls as as h every p instance wi mineral even resources tram-roads ofoth o e r r less promising Tallies in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro ductions.hi Au: t a t b n l d e supply foragri o f e limestonetura purp ( rse n s e ) c m e may much nearer and cheaper " t a h r a y n fo b r y t the y m: t n h u e r facAtunrieneof be obtained by means of this Railway, line. This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich vales of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communicati on 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 Bitten Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by a natural pass between the hills at Fftwd 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 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 been made by com p etent par ties, and it is found that the c ountr y admits of highly favourable gradients, so much so that It is confidently anticipated that the works will be executed very considera bl y under the advertised ca pital. and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the The landowners along the line are favourab le to this undertaking, Provisional Committee.

The line from Lyons to Avignon is to be constructed under the law of the 16th July, 1845, which is to be made by the Company, and to be completed within four years from the date of the Ordinance con firming the adjudication. The Government reserves the power of purchasing the lease at the expiration of nineteen years from the [adjudication, paying for the residue of the term to the Company an annual sum, calculated on the average of the nett proceeds of the five best of the preceding seven years, but not in any event less than the nettproceeds of the last year of the seven. The Company will be constituted a " Societe Anonyme." The adjudication of the Line will probably not be delayed beyond the present year. If the lease be obtained on favourable terms (and no other terms will be sought or accepted by this Company), the Line will be a most valuable one. It forms the only remaining link in the great chain between the German Ocean and the Mediterranean. The local traffic, especially of merchandise, is already very great, and with the aids and development to be given by the railway, will be far greater. The Rhone cannot compete with the railway, because, although navi gable one way, its extreme rapidity renders it practically innavi gable up the stream. It has been considered desirable to associate for the English direc tion persons of acknowledged practical skill and experience in the construction, working, and management of railways, and it cannot be denied but that this object has been attained. The Directors take all requisite powers for conducting and con cluding negotiations with the French Government, tendering for and accepting a lease, and generally enabling them to carry out what ever they may deem expedient in the interest` of the Company.
