The length Of the main line from Lincoln to Grimsby will be about 32 mites, the branch to Louth about 10 miles, and the branch to Borneastle about 14 miles—together 36 mike. The advantages of the line will ba self-evident to those acquainted with the locality ; amongst other benefits, it may be observed, that this line will form a direct and speedy communication between th e pert of Great Grimsby and the midland and western counties, as well ee the metropolle ; and the port of treat Grimsby (which may now be )(Naked upon as the future Liverpool of the Humber) is admitted 'ay rearlttme and practical men to be the best situated northern port of Inghtivi fljr the whole of the markets of the continental Europe.

The county of Lincoln abounds in agricultural productions, whilst It is believed an inadequate recompense has hitherto accrued to those engaged therein, by reason of which both produce aid land have hoot depreciated in value, but now important advantages will pi-Lime:a themselves to botk the agricultural and mercantile in terest. _ _ The gmilents of the line are exceedingly favourable, and the expertse of construction will be unusually low; the promoters have therethre every reason to anticipate a most satisfactory return for the eapital to be invested.

The communication by railway between these important towns and the continuous hop and cider districts has been entirely left unprovided for by existing arranaements, and this line is brought forward under the auspices of the Great Eastern and Western Railway Csimpany, on the strong representations and request of a large and most influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh bourhood. The object proposed is to make a direct communication betw een Leominster, Brornyard, and Worcester, which latter tows' has allays been the natural market for. the produce of these districts, and to af ford the inhabitants the most direct communication with London, as compared with other lines, by upwards of 30 mles.

Mr. William Prothero, 10, Old Jewry Chambers, London, This Line will join the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway at Chepstow, and extend westward near to Plercifield, the far-famed Windcliff, and Tintern Abbey, to the towns of Usk and Pontypool, and over the centre of the great iron and c al field of South Wales, passing near to and through the midst of the extensive iron works and collieries of Monmouthshire and Glamor ganshire, to join the Aberdare branch of the Taff Yale Railway, which connects Merthyr Tydvil and Aberdare with Cardiff—thus forming a much more direct and almost straight Line—by means of the railways already made and projected between those immensely populous districts, and the centre of the kingdom and London, by means of which the journey by land will be shortened between the metropolis and this great seat of industry to tour and a half, and between Newport and Cardiff to live hours, which at present, even by the aid of existing railways, cannot be performed In less than (tom ten to twelve hours. It will be lOund by reference to the official census of 1831 and 1841, that the average increase of population of the county of Mon mouth exceeded that of any other county in England or Wales ; this fact is referred to as illustrative of the rising importance of the country through which this railway is intended to pass, and of the very large passenger tratlic which may reasonably be calculated upon. The town of Usk, with Ragland, and the rich agricultural district for many miles around, are supplied by carts flrom the vicinity of Pontypool with coal and lime, which are there obtained at a cheap rate, and in return cattle and provisions of all kinds, hay, corn, and pit timber to an enormous extent, are scut to the iron works and collieries, where the consumption is immense. This traffic alone must necessarily ensure a considerable revenue to the Company, in dependent of the great traffic from the manufactured iron, fire bricks, and paving stone, which is of soperior quality,,and in great abundance. Tho present cost of conveying and delivering iron and tin plates from the works to London, including transit to the port, shipping charges, freight, and insurance, amounts to little leer than 20s. per ton, whilst by this railway, and those it is intended to Join, the average cost at tho rate usually charged for such goods on rail ways will effect a saving of at least 25 per oent., and be conveyed within twenty-four hours, Instead of theaverageToyage round the Land's End of three, and not unfrequently six weeks, and with the very important a Ivantage of delivering the iron free from rust, which is unavoidable' on a sea voyage, in small bars more particu larly, causing a deterioration of from 15e. to 20s. per ton at least. This railway, by means of the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction, and the Birmingham and Gloucester Railways, will open Birmingham as a market for the manufactured iron of South Wales, from which it has been in a measure excluded, from the difficult and expensive transit by the River Severn and Canals. Large quantities of iron ore, known as" Haamatete ore,"ls imported into Wales, from Lancashire, Cumberland, Devon, and Cornwall; whilst ore of a similar quality, and equal productiveness for iron making, exists in abundance in the Forest of Dean, and may be raised an: delivered from thence by means of this and the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway to the different iron works In Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire at an average of from 2h to 30 per cent. less than tt costs at present, and at the same time leave a handsome remuneration to the RallWay Companies. The Committee of Management have gone very eareflfily into estimates of the goods traffic es - tecially, and they, feel justified In expressing a decided opinion that the revenue from this source alone will yield 5 par cent. on the proposed capit►l of the Company, in addition to the reveuue to be derived from the other traffic. This Railway will pass close to, and within a few miles of, all the iron and tin works of Monmouthshire, and the principal part of those in Oluaorganshire ; and the following short statistic of the extent of those stupendous undertakings will give an idea of the vast importance of the present project.

In the London market it meets with a ready sale at 30 per cent, higher than any of the best north country Hartley', ; and notwithstanding the high price, so highly is it esteemed, that the present importation amounts to nearly 100,000 tons per annum. This coal for the most part is brought from a distance of 24 miles, and shipped at Cardiff, from whence freights to London have averaged from 10s. to I Is. per ton during the past year; but so uncertain is the supply to the metropo lis, owing to the scarcity of ships on the Welsh coast, and the long and precarious navigation round the Land's End, that many who are anxious to adopt their engine grates for its use, are deterred from the too great uncertainty which exists against obtaining a regular and constant supply ; these difficulties will be entirely superseded by the proposed railway, and these it is intended to join, with the great additional advantage and impetus to increased use and consumption, that it may be delivered to the consumer at from ls. to 3s. per ton less price than at present. Trader such circumstances, it will not appear unreasonable to those unacquainted with the trade, to expect that the consumption in the metropolis alone will be increased four fold, wh ilst n a set n oo e n w sLio - d f ne o rd u edo n n d ,m t w r o a hr d :r e jeu w ds l it i ce l iao ; ct o oo pe alfo n inn e s d usa o ed u s t e. with Chepstow, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Witney, Oxford, and the numerous Inter tate has for the Extension line from Chepstow to the Taff Vol p e " , med lt the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway Company at present, but powers are th ate an Co to mp al a te ny r proposed to be taken for uniting the two Comb ection. anies hereafter, with the anent of their respective Preference will be given to those locally interested, and to the Junctio holders of R Shares in the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, an d Gloucester n ailway.

At Truro At Penzance At Falmouth The object of this line is to effect a direct communication between London and the Land's End. In a national point of view such a line is indispensable. With the advantage of a direct railroad, Falmouth, from it- situation at the western extremity of the kingdom, would u ndoubtedly long since have been the principal port on that coast. With the advantage of at least 280 miles of heavy road, that place has attained its high po sition as a Packet Station. Southampton, wit h far less natural ad vantages, has, creased its imports from 200,0001. to 3, 000,0001. p er annum. At Brie since the opening of the South -Western Railway, in tol, before the opening of the Great Western Railway, the imports were declinin g ; since then they have very considerably increased. The merits of a line to the Land's End as an investment for ea pital, it was no t l e f t to the presen t Company to discover. The Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railway having already reached Exeter, it has b een i n con t em pl a tion to extend that line to Fal mouth by set ou foot on th e conv i ct i on that Falmouth must be reached by way of 113 - month ; and various other projects have been railway. The object of this prospectus Is to show that no other lino than the present can ultimately satisfy the exigencies of the country in regard to this, its most important outport—" the natural Packet Station of the empire." The present project is distinguished by this—that it is direct. It Is as nearly as possible a straight line from Landon to the Land's End. The London, Bath, and Bridgewater company having amalga mated with this Company, the immense local influence commanded by them will now contribute to the great national object of a direct line ; while means have been taken for securing the traffic and afford ing all the accommodation contemplated by that Company. The Direct Western availing itself of the Great Western Railway so far as Reading, pursues its course by or near Newbury, Hunger fbrd, Great Beduin, Marlborough, Devizes, the manufacturing dis trict of Trowbridge (from which a diverging line will be carried by Bradford direct to Bath), Westbury, Frome, Shepton Mallet, Wells (from which another diverging line will be taken to Bricle•ewater), Glastontury to Taunton, being shorter by about thirty-two miles than any existing railways between these points, and without a tunnel. From Taunton the Bristol and Exeter Railway (now leased to the Great Western) is traversed to Tiverton, whence it is pronged to carry this line direct to the Land's End, Falmouth, St. T . el , . and Penzance, being shorter by about sixty miles than the Idly pro ed line by way of Plymouth , a nd effectin g , in the who le 4. &tame London to Falmouth, a saving of about ninety miles. is lin to the tra4c on the m o or_ portion - of-the line it 19. Y iitoY4 fta that tees Li Woe albruagh tat* dal. - cient to iustify the construction of this portion of the Direct Wes tern : that it will shorten the distance from London to Tiverton about 32 miles that it will traverse rich and populous agricultural and manufacturing districts, and receive a large amount of traffic as well from railways now in course of construction as from ethers pro jected, with every chance of success. _ As to the trade on the lower portion of the line, it is evident that the vast number of merchant vessels continually detained in the Channel by adverse winds, would effect an immense saving both in insurance and time, by discharging their cargoes at Falmouth, and at once transmitting them to their destination by means of this railway; and therefore—without speculating on the extent to which the ports on either side of the great promontory of the Laud's End may, by means of this railroad, attract the commerce respectively of Bristol and Southampton ; to what extent the inexhaustible mineral wealth of Cornwall, and the unrivalled agricultural resources of Devonshire may be further developed, or the genial climate of Penzance and Mount's Bay, " the Montpellier of England," attract alarger propor tion of winter visitants—it is obvious that this line will command a Itraffic• bojh in goods and passengers, from its western terminus, the amount of which-may. be said to be without limit. A glance at the map will make it manifest that no competing trunk line can ever be established between Tivertor. itild-Aho Land's End. As between Taunton and Reading, an inspection of the map will show a vast ex tent of midland distri?t, comprising rich and populous parts of So mersetshire, Dorsetshire, and Wiltshire, now altogether destitute of railroad accommodation. Recurring to the features of this project as a national work, one of the greatest in point of magnitude, of vital importance in the event of war, and of almost incalculable advantage to the general and packet commerce of the kingdom; it may not be out of place to quote here the following expressions of Sir Robert Peel. Speaking of the project of a direct line from Loudon to Liverpool through the Trent Valley, which bore much the same relation to the Birmingham and Grand Junction that this bears to the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways, he is reported to have said : —"I consider that the com munication-between the metropolis and the great outperts to be not a question of hours, but a question of minutes." Of the necessity of this particular line, Parliament has already expressed an opinion ; for in the report of the Committee on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line, which was promoted by the Great Western Railway Company, it was stated that that Company had been required to pledge Itself sot hereafter to oppose a direct line to Falmouth; and it may be further observed, that a proposed line from Plymouth to Falmouth was last session rejected, on the ground that it might be supposed to interfere with that - great national object. The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, and cor=e .t estimates of the expenditure and returns are in a state of for wErd3lo3., and the whole will be ready for the next session of Par liament. It is sufficient, as to these points, here to state that there are no engineering difficulties in any part of the line which have not been repeatedly surmounted in other cases ; that the first portiOn will be constructed at an unusually small expense ; that the undertaking will meet with the cordial support, concurrence, and co-operation of the landowners, and that the Directors are justified in asserting that this will prove to be sue of the most remunerative railways in the kingdom. Powers will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at four 'pounds per centum per annum ai the deposits, and preference in the allotment of shares will he given to the proprietors of the land through which the line will pass, and to the shareholders in the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and other railways connected with the Direct Westeni district.

't he geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as the point where the broad gattge trunk:lines of the west are to have a common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have decidt d on constructing a line of rail :—another projetA under the pa tronage of the same powerful direction is now before the public, uniting Worcester with Warwick ; an.l, that the broad gauge will be carried from Worcester into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will com plete a series of great avenues of iron -road, whose ramification from Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly accessible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where it will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches Stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at Bewdley. This distrlct is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu facturer, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the Intervening districts, upwards of 30,0)0 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge a little to the east, the line is taken to nridgenorth, a town enjoying an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron works, that give employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, from NtAc_it.pht.ce theye will be a, branch to S4rewsbn -, the line ace-glide VOUIVIWI appltfuting its obtuseWft, • enters Whitchurch. From this , entral place a branch will he formed to Norwich via Stoke, forming a Junction with the Liverp of and Crewe Ita,lway. The trunk line will continue from Whitelinrch, and passing through or near 3lalpas, have Its northern terminus In the. city of Chester. In estimating the probable amount of revenue which the Worces ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of profit present thcrfiselves, such are the dense population located along the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry in which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned the ChlnKmanufactories of Worcester, the iron, coal, and earthen ware works at Broseley and other places; the agricultural produce brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fieldS of coal and mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridge, and the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally. In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are also obvious. The line traverses a district affording levels of several miles in extent, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found bettor qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many other localities. As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary to existing or projected lines passing in various directions, few schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater inducement for investment, or a wider range of accommodation for traffic and travelling. This project constitutes a lengthened link in the chain that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand. trunk of the West of England ;—its southern terminus, Worcester, is the halt= way station of: the London and Porblymillaen broad gauge line:— by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded west ward to Swansea and Aberystwith, and, VW. ward, to Warwick and Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lynn, Lincoln, and Hull. The line has been repeatedly and careftilly examined by the Com pany's acting engineer, who reports that the rail for many miles may be laid on the natural level—that the gradients are in every in stance favourable—that the geological struct•ire of the districts to be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a line of com munication is acknowledged by the interests seated on its proposed course.

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of passengers and goods from Kingston to Montego Bay and the inter mediate ports, either by sea or land, is well known to all persons conversant with the islan I of Jamaica. The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and King ston, occupies forty-four hours ; and the costs, including expenses on the route, amount to nearly 51. each passenger, while the quickest journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including horse hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole line will be traversed in eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an average of 395. per passenger. The difference in the freights between the northern and southern sides of the island and England is such, that independently of the saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at much less expense than at present, and will afford them the advan tage of sh pping at all times from the very exce lent harbour of King ston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed ports of the east and north of the island. 'the line will commence at a spacious quay, to' be constructed at Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of the largest tonnage employed in the export trade of the Island ; at or near to which point it is proposed to form a junction with the King ston and Spanish Town Railway, and proceed thence by or near Rock Fort, Yallahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Annotto Bay, Port Maria, St. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near Montego Bay. By these means a line of intercommunication will he formed between the most important and populous places, and facility offered for carriage of the produce of the most prodacttve portion of the island. Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of moun tains which run east and west, nearly the length of the island ; the eastern portion, from Port Morant to Plantain Garden, is almost level ; while the northern runs through an exceedingly rich country, rising into hills separate from each other by spacious vales. The whole of the country traversed by the line abounds in the staple ar t:cles of sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other snices, dye wood, drugs, &c.; and as more than one-third of the land is still uncultivated, the production of these articles will, by the increased facility for traffic, be greatly increased ; and cotton, indigo, cocoa, &c., and dry stuffs, at present unimported, will again be brought into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety abounds along the line ; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes spontaneously, there are mahogany, lignum vita;, ebony, Spanish elm, fine cedar, and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will also bring largely into use the valuable pahmttl , and various other woods for agricultural and household purposes, Ltd cabinet works. The mineral wealth of the country on the line is very considerable ; lead ore is extremely rich and heavily impregnated with silver ; whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate of lime, valuable as manure, &c., of which Long Mountain is com posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic. _ The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction of this Railway render it highly probable that a considerable portion of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material. necessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cut tings and embankments will be generally superseded. A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated land required for the line, and the free use of all the timber, stone, &c., necessary for its con struction, will, it is expected, be ceded by the Legislative Assembly ; —the mineral wealth, which may be developed by the construction of the line, will accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased to capitalists for the benefit of the Shareholders. Of the various imports, and the internal traffic, a satisfactory esti mate can scarcely be given—it will be sufficient to state, that Coals, Fish, Lime and Salt, empty Puncheons, Shingles, ?tricks, Hoops, Lead, Timber, Provisions, Cattle, Flour, Tobacco, Hardwares, and Manufactures generally, form important coerces of profit. The working expenses of the railway will require but a moderate per centage, and from all the circumstances already stated, and care ful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of railway will yield a very remunerative return upon the capital re quired, and the speedy communication established between the island and Great Britain, by means of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, will enable the Directors in this country to exercise an efficient control over the management of the affairs of the island. The Committee propose to make provision in the Local Act for the payment of 4% per cent. interest noon the amount paid upon the shares fro. the passing of the Bill until the opening of the line.
