Pontefract t The object of this railway is to connect, in the most direct course, the important and increasing manufacturing town of Leeds with the metropolis, the want of which has long been felt, and is too univer sally acknowledged to need any comment, and it is under this con viction that this important undertaking, aster several minute exa minations of the country through which it will pass, has been brought forward. _ . . The proposed line will commence at the jnnction of the Manchester and Leeds, and York and North Midland Railways, near Wakefield, and will terminate by means of a junction with the Eastern Coun ties Railway, at Bedford (to which place it is the intention of that Company to extend their line in the ensuin' session of Parliament); and by thus availing itself as far as possible of the existing railways, will complete the most direct and least expensive trunk line, from London to Leeds, York, and Hull. It will pass in its route within an available distance of Wakefield, Pontefract, Doncaster, Rotherham, East Redford, Nottingham, Newark, Grantham, Melton Mowbray, Qakham, and Stamford. England Railway W. H. Hornby, Esq., Blackburn John Hemp, Esq., Burton-upon-Trent John Smith Hamp, Esq., Catton, Burton-upon-Trent George Calvert Holland, Esq., M.P., Sheffield John Newington Hughes, Esq., St. Michael's, Winchester William Hill, Esq., Manchester John Haddon, Esq., Director of the East and West of England Rail- The importance of such a line is obvious, both from the nature of its cow se (embracing, as it does, a most extensive population within its limits), as also trom the absence of any direct communication for the conveyance of passengers and merchandise. By the construction of this railway, railway communication to London will be given to Peterborough and Leicester (by means of the Syston and Peterborough Railway), to Newark and Nottingham, (by the Nottingham and Lincoln line(, and to Sheffield and Gains borough, )by the Sheffield and Gainsborough line), by a much shorter route than by any existing railways. Independently of the advantages offered to the towns in the seve- Jai counues LitrOugn WIIICII Lint toe win pass, use line ia eidered as a direct trunkis athesent to justify its formation, it being well known that the existing traffic between these two places would produce such a return on the capital required, as to admit of a dividend equal to that of any railway in Operation; - but when it is borne in mind that a company is being formed for the purpose of connecting Glasgow and Leeds by means of a junction with the York and Carlisle Railway, no better line can be presented to the public, as it will not only effect a direct communication from Glasgow and the western parts of Scotland to London, but would also connect Edinburgh and the eastern parts of Scotland, as well as Durham and Newcastle (by the York and North Midland, and Great North of England Railways) with the metropo lis, which would be considerably shorter than the accommodation offered by any other company ; and when cost of construction is con sidered, there cannot be a doubt but that preference would be given to the Great Leeds and London Direct Railway. The fact of the Eastern Counties Railway being connected by a branch line with the East and West India Docks on the river Thames, and the Railway Company having recently leased for 999 years the extensive pepper warehouses belonging to those docks, which are capable of receiving 12,000 tons of goods, together with wharili adjoining, where the shipment and trans-shipment of goods from all parts of the world can take place, is a most important fea ture in favour of the direct communication from the manufacturing towns of Glasgow and Leeds offered by the Great Leeds and London Direct Railway and, by branch railways to the main trunk line, through which all goods from the manufacturing districts could be conveyed at once to these warehouses for shipment, thereby avoiding the present delay and expense of cartage, and in reality establishing an almost direct and invaluable connexion between the rivers Clyde and Thames. It has been ascertained that there are no engineering difficulties, that the w rks will be easy, and the gradients remarkably good, and that it will not materially interfere with any ornamental property. The subscribers will be held liable only to the extent of their first deposits, until an A - it of Parliament is obtained, and afterwards only to the amount of their subscriptions. It is proposed to take power in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on all calls until the opening of the line, and also to extend the line to Hertford on the Eastern Counties line, in the event of that Company not prosecuting their line to Bedford. way Company Joseph Haden, Esq., ironmaster, Dudley David Harrison, Esq., Staley-bridge, Director of the Manchester and Binninzham and Cheshire Junction Railway James Horne, Esq., Clapham-common, Director of the N.rth Lou- don Railway Company John Hemming, Esq., North Bank, Regent's Park, Director of the Worcester and South Wales Railway T.

At a numerous and most highly respectable and influential meeting of the bankers, merchants, tradesmen, and other inhabitants of the borough of King's Lynn, Norfolk, held in the Guild-hall, on Monday, October 6, 1845. The Worshipful the MAYOR in the Chair, A deputation from " the Lynn, Wiabsch, and Peterborough, Midland Counties and Birmingham Junction Railway Company," together with the solicitor and engineer, having attended this meet tug and explained the intended objects of the Company, it was re solved, without a dissentient voice. " That the proposed Lynn, Wisbech, and Peterborough Railway, 13 entirely uncalled for by the wants of the district, and therefore utterly undeserving the support of the town of Lynn." The Mayor having left the chair, it was unanimously resolved, " That the thanks of the meeting be given to the Mayor for his able and impartial conduct in the chair."

This line is projected by the Norfolk Railway Company and the Grand Union Railway Company, and it will form a connecting link between those two lines. Leaving the station of the Norfolk Company at Brandon, the line proceeds via Downham Market to Wished', and from thence to Spald ing, being a distance •f about 40 miles. At the latter town It joins the Grand Union Railway, which continues via Grantham to Not tingham, thus completing a direct and independent line of communi cation between Yarmouth and Norwich, and Nottingham and the manufacturing districts. The distance between the termini will ho as short by the proposed route as by The Lynn and Ely and Lynn and Dereham lines; whilst the traffic between Nottingham. Yarmouth, and Norwich, and the central, west, and south parts of Norfolk, the north of Cambridge shire, and the counties of Suffolk and Essex, being under the control of friendly Companies, will be secured for this undertaking. Estimates for the traffic are in course of preparation. In the mean time it may be stated that, from the data already furnished respecting some of the important Inca sties through which the line passes, added to the fact that it forms part of a direct course of railway communi cation between Manchester and the surrounding manufacturing dis tricts, and the ports of Yarmouth and Lynn, there is no doubt an ample remuneration will be secured for the shareholders. Satisfactory arrangements have been made with the Eastern Counties Railway Company in reference to that portion of the line between Wisbeeh and Spalding, which has been agreed to be leased by them from the Wished' and St. Ives Company. If the Wisbech and St. Ives Company succeed in their application to Parliament, the line to be made by this Company will be limited to that part between► Wisbech and Brandon ; and in either case the two Companies promoting this line have agreed to take a lease of it at a rental equal to 4 per cent. on the outlay, and a moiety of the sur plus profits. In the allotment of shares preference will be given to the share holders of the Norfolk and Grand Union Railway Companies.

It is proposed by tills Company to establish a direct line of commu nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull, at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica tion will be convicted by throwing out new lines, where requisite. Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29 miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley. Station on the Mid land Counties Railway The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will bo carried forward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing out of the line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by the Midland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament. From Gainsborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the- Humber, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between Birmingham and Hull. By this project the advantages will result to the public of a Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham, f t Birmingham to Gainsborough, and from Birmingham to Hull; and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway, and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch, a direct line from Wolverhampton to Nottingham, and the other towas already enu merated. The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the lice, which, togetker with its own merits, will ensure its success ia Parliament. As a considerable portion of the line of communication is already made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this great national undertaking will be materially shortened. Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu nication between the important seaport of Hull and the mining and manufacturing districts of Warwickshire be andconfid Staffotl rdshi y expecre, a te large traffic in timber, corn, metals, &c., may end. the The revenue of the Company , in addition, will be derived from great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to -Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense rile from Ha Bir mingham to HMI, thelsort a t which tlae exports are s ipeed troth m m the burgh, the German States, and tile North of Europe; conve yance of merchandise , ag ricultnral produce, andcattle from the Southern, western, and midland counties. A preference will be given in the allotment o share., to landowners well as to directors and on the line, and other local proprietors, shareholders in railways interested in suppo as rti this midertaking. No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit Until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. T ; : e usual powe r will be t a ken to anew interest at the rate of four om tile time of payment upon each call until the opening per Cell L . fr of the lind. No applicatians will be attended to without a reference to member ofthe CoOmittee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be executed when the bailers receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi cates, of which due-notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be for feited. lications for shares , m a y Plans and prospectuses, with forms of a pp be had of the Solicitors, and of the following Stock and Sharebrokers, viz.:—Messrs.

SOLICITORS. Messrs. Thompson and Jepson, Glossop 3lessrs. Edward and R. William Bennett, Manchester The promoters of this undertaking contemplate, as their first object, to supply a very populous and rapidly-increasing manufacturing dis trict with the advantages which will be afforded by the intended line of railway, and which have long been sought for. The line will diverge from the Sheffield and Manchester Railway •at or near Dukinfield, taking its course near the densely populated and extensive manufacturing districts of Newton, Hype, Compstall, and al arple, passing thence near New Mills, Hayfield, Whaley-bridge, and Chapel-en-le-Frith (with a short branch to Buxton), it will follow the course of the valley of the Derwent, and to a point at or near Helper, where it is proposed to join the Great Midland and also the West Midland Railways. By the construction of this railway, a saving of twenty miles will be effected over any other line in existence between the manufacturing districts •of Oldham, Rochdale, Ashton, Staley, Newton, and llyde, with their population of 300,0, 0, and the favourite places of resort, Buxton, Matlock, and the picturesque scenery of North Derbyshire. The minerals of Derbyshire, with which the country abounds, will, by the proposed line of railway, be brought into more extensive use, and at a much cheaper rate in the manufacturing districts. The saving distance between Manchester and Derby with the eastern coast will be fifty-four miles. The line has been, carefully examined, and with the greatly-im proved facilities for the construction and working of railways, a good line may be made at an average cost. The loctil traffic alone will pay eight per cent. on the cost of con struction. Negotiations are new in progress with important companies which there is every reason to believe will be satisfactorily =- chided ; if so, they will render this the most complete project that has been offered to the public. Applications for shares, of which there is only a limited number at disposal of the Provisional Committee, may be made in the subjoined form to the solicitors and to the undermentioned brokers :—Messrs. Cardwell and Sons, Messrs. Johnson, Bradley, and Walker, and Mr. Thomas Ellison, Manchester. A more detailed prospectus, with the complete list Of the Provi sional Committee, will be issued shortly.

The integral line will be continued from Faversham to or near to Herne Bay,; and from thence to the South-Eastern Extension Railway (now being made), at a point near Sarr, and will then pro ceed on that line direct to Ramsgate eastwards, and direct to Deal south-eastwards. From a point between Herne Bay and Sarr the line will also be carried by a short extension to Margate. By this project Marge° will be placed within 75 miles of the me tropolis, instead of more than 100, as at present, and that, too, by a direct line through Faversham, at which place it will meet the Lon don lines. The important town of Ramsgate, now so extensively connected with continental communication, will also be thus afforded a much nearer overland route to London'; and Deal, Ramsgate, Margate, Herne Bay, Sheerness, Chatham, Rochester, immediate Gravesend o, r easy c Woolwio n. ch, Greenwich, and London , will all be placed in nexion upon one continuous line of railway. By means also of this undertaking, in conjunction with the exist ing and projected railways proceeding to the south coast of Essex, the whole of the passengers and traffic from Liverpool, Manche and ster the , Leeds, Hull, York , and the Northern, the Midland, Eastern Counthes, will be conveyed to Dover and the Conti nent via Sheerness, in preference to a lengthened and cir cuitous route trOngh the !metropolis, whereby the journey will be shortened more than 50 miles, travelling expenses ,will be curtailed, and the serious inconvenience and delay of transhipment and con veyance from *nil part of London to another wholly avoided. A glance at the amp also will show the immense advantage which the metropolis itself will enjoy by its being thus afforded other routes to the coast of Kent. The millions who annually seek pleasure in excursions to Gravesend, Sheerness, Southend, Herne Bay, Margate, Ramsgate, Deal, and Dover, will have a choice of different routes. They may proceed by reilway, on the Essex side of the Thames, to the 'Thames Have n, Tilbitry Fort, or Southend—pass over to Sheer ness 133, water, and thence proceed direct by this railway —or they may reach Sheerness wholly' by water, and then avoid the sea—or, may pasg et once from London, on the Surrey side of the Thames, to Sheernes % H e rne Bay, Margate, and Ramsgate , b y r ail wa y i n a s direct line, c onsuming only about two hours in the journey, and may vary their pieasure by going in one direction and returning by another.. Independently of the vast multitudes who will thus seek health and recreation, Vie importance, as a national object, of connecting all the aboveentfoned towns, land giving a direct line from Sheerness to Dover, together with the immense existing traffic in the direction of the undertaking, al.al tke great increase which the improved and enlarged 'modes of communication throughout: Kent will occasion, must be too apparen% to need further observation ; and the Commit tee, from careful iuqtlirY , feel confidence in stating that no scheme of railway has yet been Offered to public attention combining greater public and private advaniages .
