It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and 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 completed by throwing out ne" 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 bo made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the at id - land Counties Railway The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be 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 renderlkag complete and entire the chain of communication between Birmingham and Hull. By this project the advantages will result to the public of A Direct lice from Birmingham to Nottingham, - 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 and Alrewas, a direct lino from Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottingham, and the other towns already enumerated. The support of several companies will bo enlisted in favour of the Bee, which, together with its own merits, will ensure its success in 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 eication between the important seaport of Hull and the mining and manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large traffic in timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected. The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir mingham to Will, the port at which the exports are shipped to Ham burgh, the Getman States, and the North of Europe ; and from the conveyance of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the southern, western, and midland counties. A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners on the - line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and shareholders In railways interested in supporting this undertaking. •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. 4 ' The usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate of four • per cent. from the time of paymentamon each call until the opening of the lines. • No applications will be attended to without a reference to a member of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi cates, of which due notice will he given ; and the deposits paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be for feited. Plans and prospectuses, with forms of applications for shares, may be had of the Solicitors, and of the following Stock and Sharebrokers, viz.:--Messrs.

In consequence of the total want of system in the selection of railways in England, especially those emanating from the grand centre of London, there are many wealthy and populous dis tricts that are totally devoid of the benefits of railway conveyance. Such, for instance, is that between Ite!gate and Windsor—a country unequalled in agricultural resources, and loaded with population, a vast number of whom are cotnected more or less with mercantile pursuits, and, consequently, in frequent habit or necessity of remit ing the metropolis, market towns, ports, and manufacturing locali ties. These considerations, weighty In themselves, but light in com parison with others, first gave rise to the present undertaking ; and when it is considered that this line of thirty miles will be the con necting link of five of the largest railways in England, through which it will be fed by Incalculable numbers, totally Independent of its exterblve local traffic, it must be evident to the most sceptical, that it forms not only a desirable but an absolutely necessary artery in the present system of railway communication. There are many lines now in contemplation which will afford additional prosperity to-the Royal Grand Junction ; among which may be named the London and Portsmouth Direct; Epsom, Brighton, and Arundel ; Reigate and Reading ; London, Staines, and Ascot ; Direct London and Exeter, &c. The line is i tended to commence at the Reigate station of the London and Brighton Railway, and passing through Reigate, Betch worth, and within a quarter of a mile of Dorking, will continue its course along the picturesque vale of Mickleham, at the foot of Bex hill and Norbury, following as near as may be the river Mole to Leatherhead ; after which it will pass through the parishes of Fetcham and Stoke D'Abernon, and at the back of Claremont, the property of his Majesty the King of the Belgians ; from thence near Esher, Walton, and Weybridge, to Chertsey, Thorpe, Egham, Ascot, Windsor, Eton, and Slough ; and terminating at the Slough station of the Great Western Railway. In addition to the many sources of income to be derived from the conveyance of passengers, merchandise, and Agricultural produce on this line, and which has been estimated at 15 per cent., It will afford a direct and continuous railway communication for the accommoda tion of her Majesty and the Royal Family between Windsor, London, Claremont, l'ortsmouth, and Brighton; thus approximating one with the other her Majesty's five favourite residences, and avoiding the present inconvenient changes ftom the railway to the road, and from one proprietary to another, it being proposed to lay down the narrow gauge, that being adopted by four out of five of the lines this railway is designed to connect. It is proposed to erect royal station-houses at Windsor and Clare mont, for the nee of her Majesty, and to make such deviations and arrangements as shall meet the royal assent and approbation, as all° to forward the views of the Company. It may be as well to add, that the whole country has been care fully selected. so that no difficulties can interfere with the completion of the line, and the land through which it will take its course is, on an average, considerably below the usual value of property ; and, lastly, having obtained the sanction of the most influential proprietors throughout the line, no opposition can be made - or sustained against the promoters of the undertaking, who will use use every endeavour to obtain a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the next sea - sion. Applications for shares may be made, in the usual form, to the so licitors, or to the following brokers :--41r. Roger Mortimer, Throg morton-street, London ; B. R. Pemberton, Esq., Atherton-buildings, and Messrs. Schultz and Carr, Liverpool ; Mr. J. It. Lane, Birming ham ; James Jamieson, Esq., Leeds ; Messrs.

In the interim applica tions for shares and other information may be addressed to the soli citors, Messrs. Long and Ilay, and Charles Le Blanc, Esq., at their offices, 44, Lincoln's Inn-fields. PROSPECTUS. This line is designed to open a direct communication between the towns of Birmingham and Boston. The advantages to be derived by a rich, progressing, and populous town, such as Birmingham, the great manufacturing centre of tie kingdom, having a direct communication with a port on the eastern coast facing the Continent, and that port the nearest to it by geo graphical position, need butte be mentioned to bo appreciated. The name of Birmingham speaks for itself; the capacity and value of Boston as a commercial port is daily increasing, and re quires but little enterprise to enable it to compete with some of our best pons. It is proposed that ttes line should commence at Leicester, where it will form a continuation of the direct line from Birmingham t• that town, and proceeding by or near Melton Mowbray, Corby, Folkenham, and Donnington, terminate at Boston ; this affording a direct communication between Birmingham and its important manu facturing districts—Rugby, the great railway centre of England, and Boston, their nearest seaport, which eventually must command the traffic of the districts with which It is in connexion and the oppo site ports of the Continent. A glance at the map will show how this line is fed, and the towns in its neighbourhood supplied with railway accommodation by the in tersecting lines ; but In the event of the London and York line not obtaining Its Act, it is proposed by this Company to construct a branch to Grantham. The country is easy, presenting few or no engineering difficulties. Another advantage held out by this project Is the improvement of the harbour of Boston, whereby it will be restored to that eminent position it formerly held among tha ports awl harbours of the kingdom. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum after passing the Act, on the amount of the subscription paid up. No subscriber shall be answerable lor more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription.

This line will be about fifteen miles in length, and, viewed only as local connecting line between Dundee and Forfar, it is in a great degree called for by the manufacturers, marchanta, and farmers of the district. It will beyond all question, from this source alone, have a traffic sufficient for ample remuneration to the shareholders. For far is the county town, and there is necessarily a considerable inter course with Dundee. To parties locally versant with this manufac turing district, the very extensive traffic and intercourse between Dundee and Forfar are well known. The population of the district connected with the line, is about 100,000. c p D a u b i i i l d i t e i e e , s f , r i o s m t h e i ts p ro p p ro e x r h a n o l d t y to convenientForfar, po a n r d t iftosr exportingextensive s t hi h e pp p in ro g . duce of the district, but at present there is no direct railway com munication. The expense of transmitting goods at present between Dundee and Forfar is fully double what it should be, and in a great measure performed by horse carriage, an expensive and tedious pro cess; but the formation of this railway will open up a direct and cheap communication, and will unquestionably benefit the trade and agriculture of the district. The line passes through a rich agricultural district, for the pro duce of which the farmers will by it find an easy and expeditious transit to Dundee, both for the causumpt and exportation ; and the agricultural valise of the lands will be considerably increased by the direct communication with the town and harbour of Dundee, and the railways running south from the Tay. The extensive pave ment and slate quarries around Forfar and along the district will be greatly enhanced by the line, as a cheap and easy access to Dundee for exportation will thus be afforded. The promoters of this railway, viewing the extensive local traffic, the junction with the whole railways before enumerated in con nexion with the great English trunk railways, have no hesitation in submitting this nude: taking to the public, not only as one necessarily called for by the mercantile, manufacturing, and agricultural inte rests of the district, and public colveniency, but more especially by its being the direct centrical line, forming a continuation of the rail way communication by the Edinburgh and Northern and Glasgow Junction lines, through the conutles of Fife and Forfar, to Aberdeen and the north of Scotland. As a safe investment for capital, this line, being thus in the midst of a great manufacturing district, and from the present formation 01 railway communication at both ends, will present the sure prospect of being highly advantageous. _ _ The district has already been surveyed, and presents no difficulty to the formation of the railway; and the proprietors and tenants along the line are understood to be very favourable to the under taking. The requisite Parliamentary notices have been given, so that the Bill may be introduced and passed in the ensuing Session ; and the Company's engineer will immediately proceed to finish a minute survey of the whole line and termini at Dundee and Forfar.

The first object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham, Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route, and to supply an important link of communication between the town of Spalding and the eastern coast wills the Western and Midland districts. Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham, Lynn, and Ilolbcaels Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn, Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wythatn, and Wymondham, to a point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near l‘telton- Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid• land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry, Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway. The projected line will form the moat direct communication be tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by items of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk, Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles than any other line of rallny., It will form, with fr ot o h m e mitg ya _ nn ee o t t e i d th, ra v il i w a a N y o s r , an c ViamNewton and Shr ews h ury, on the west. lm u t t l , in to e 'n length will not exc ee d thirty miles. There is no tnnnel n h a , on ostthdeir east, l la in eberT g o , ll7gsles cu teth t win t et i t ; h g e l , or embanking of any importance necessary ; the line from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve Miles, is very level, and may be constructed at a small coat. It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract of country at present destitute of this a ccommodation, besides open. ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of the means of transit. The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct communication with the coast ; and this line will at once supply the deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire. It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon supply from the north at high prices : it will also secure the advan tagest of an unlimited supply of lime from ths Leicestershi re works, to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, Which are at pre sen t only supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis tricts will oktain the advantage Of a direct transit for the stock and agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, Whi c h i s the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean. The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the necessary works and every Subsequent expense ; and the income derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co ventry, Leicestet, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans port of corn, Cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay. The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now in active progress, and contracts have been entered into which en sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders. Forms of application for shares, plans, and prospectuses may be had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra faigar-square, Charing.cross, where applications for shares, accom parried by respectable references, may be addressed to the FrOv atonal Committee.

This line of railway, although only about twenty-eight miles in length, is a most important one, as forming a connecting link to several existing lines, and across a district at present destitute of such accommodation. It commences at the Thirsk station on the Great North of England Railway, and proceeds in a direct line to Pickering, where it will form a junction with the York, Scarborough, Pickering, and Whitby lines. It is supported by the various com panies having lines of railway running int• Leeds and Thirsk, and by means of this proposed line a distance of twenty-two miles will be saved between Thirsk and Whitby, and about sixteen between Thirsk and Scarborough. It would certainly be the grand route to Whitby, Scarborough, and Burlington, and the intermediate towns of Helmsley and Kirkby-Moorside, s• badly provided for at present with railway accommodation, from all places west or north of Thirsk, and it would necessarily open out a traffic, for which the present means of communication are altogether inadequate. The landowners on the line are few in num ,, er, and are friendly to the project, which presents no great engineering difficulties. It In terferes with no existing railway property, and every care will be taken not to interfere wills any ornamental property. It will at once appear unnecessary, with respect:to this line, to enter into details of passengers and goods traffic. They cannot for a mo ment be questioned; and when by this railway so much easier access is made between the important seaport of Whitby and the fashion able resorts of Scarborough, Burlington Quay, and Harrowgate, as well as the populous and important towns of the West Riding of York shire and Lancashire, with which it will form an uninterrupted com munication, it cannot fail to be highly beneficial to those interested in this undertaking. Until the Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the proposed Company will be under the control of the Committee, of whom five are to be a quorum. Application for shares must b' made to the solicitors of the Com pany (of whom prospectuses and forms of applications may be ob• tamed), accompanied by a reference either to some member of the Committee, ene of the solicitors, or one of the following share brokers—viz, Messrs. Boyd, 4, New Bank-buildings; and Robert Johnston, Esq., 5, Shorter's-court, Throgmort •n-street, London; Messrs. Risdales, Myers, and Bailey, and James Hill and Co., Leeds ; Messrs.

The Belgian Brand Junction Railway will commence at the several points ofTirlemont and Landen towards the north, and Ility, Namtir, Gosselies, and Chatelineau (Charleroi) on the south, and will directly connect the provinces of Brabant, Hainanit, Liege, Limburg, and Namur with each other, and the Government lines of railway, as also with the several lines of Liege and Namur, Landen and Hasselt, Louvain and Jemeppe, Sambre and Meuse, and by the Great LtLtel2l. bourg. The provinces which the railwa.l~ D ill Utiiie were found by the census of 1844 to comprise d population of 2,188,551, and the dis tricts which it Will tr;r;erse are situated in the heart of Belgium, and comprise an area of 165 square miles. The entire length of the Bel gian Grand Junction Railway will be 102 English miles, and the in variable rule of the Belgian Government not to permit any competing lines, must necessarily ensure to this Company the entire traffic of the country through which this line will pass. This portion of the country is emphatically termed the Granary of Belgium, and, in addition t its vast agrieUltitral produce, is rich in ironstone, lead, marble, stone, and Slate quarries. It has also nume rous distilleries, extensive breweries, ironworks, and large manufac tories of porcelain, glass, paper, beetroot sugar, gunpowder, &c. The great coal - fields of Charleroi and Liege, which are the most ex tensive in Belgium, will, by means of this line, be enabled to supply all parts of the kingdom at a very reduced rate. A considerable saving will be effected in the cost of iron, and of the locomotive engines and traffic material, which will be manufac tured at the Couvin works ceded to this Company.

CHRONICLE.—Among the numerous weapons with which Sir Robert Peel will be able to combat the objections of the refractory portion of the Cabinet, who object to a suspension of the corn-laws and the free introduction of grain, will be the recent dispatches from our Minister at Washington. Those dispatches cannot fail to inform our Government of the present singularly favourable combi nation of circumstances in the United States, all tending to secure a new tariff highly favourable to the trade of this country, if any disposition is shown on our part to receive their produce in return. Mr. Walker, the Secretary to the Treasury, who is at this time in defatigably occupied in procuring information on which he will be ab'e to frame a proposal for a new tariff, cannot have omitted to explain to Mr. Pakenham the chief difficulty with which he has to contend ; and that difficulty being one in which England alone is concerned, our Minister can hardly have failed to represent it to his Government here. Coming at so opportune a season as such expostulations trust now do, the fair inference is that Sir. Robert Peel will use them in order to show hew much we hazard by persevering in a policy at once inconsistent with our own internal and domestic interests, and destructive to our foreign trade. Mr. Polk, and the members of his Cabinet, have on many occasions openly avowed their opinions in behalf of free-trade, and. of a tariff framed only upon considerations of revenue. But the protective system in America has already brought into existence a powerful party, whose interests are bound up with a high tariff. It is no matter of surprise to find that the wealthy and influential corporations of manufacturers, which have been called into exist ence and fostered by extravagant import duties, should cling with tenacity to a tariff which, in many important articles, gives them the undisputed command of their home market, and enables them to exact enormous prices from the consumer. But it ought to stagger an English Cabinet in Downing-street, when their own Minister informs them that these parties are supported in their exactions by thuse who most suffer from them. It may excite no wonder to find the manufacturer in New England using the whole of his influence to defeat Mr. Polk in his contemplated reduction of the tariff; but when it appears that the chief difficulty which he has to encounter is the opposition of the corn grower in Ohio, whose whole interest would appear to lie in securing the cheapest supply of those imported articles of which he is always a buyer, and never a seller, so strange an anomaly should not fail to excite an earnest inquiry as to its cause, when it will be found capable of but one solution. The corn grower in Ohio finds that, how ever much cheaper our goods may b; he cannot buy when he cannot sell ; and he is therefore satisfied to pay an extravagant price to the home manufacturer, in order to create a market there, from which he is shut out here. But the protective principle is productive of mischief, which it is impossible can long be permitted to continue, on both sides of the Atlantic. In England it is exposing the people, or at least a considerable portion of them, to habitual scarcity, not unfrequentiy to severe want; and at the present moment it threatens little short of a famine. In America it is exposing the State to a deficient and declining revenue. Duties which were once only protective are becoming prohibitory, in consequence of the extension of their home manufactures. In the present year, up to this time, the exports of the article of woollens alone from this country, on which they rely chiefly for their revenue, have declined more than thirty per cent. compared with last year. Each country finds itself in a dilemma, from which it can only be extricated by a closer alliance with the other. There is no I luarter to which we can look with much hope of relieving the deficiences of our present harvest but America; there is no source on which the Cabinet at Washington can rely for replenishing their Treasury but by so reducing their tariff as to increase the import of British manufactures. On the one hand, Sir Robert Peel must see the double advantage which a free trade with the United States would secure to this country, first by creating an increased demand for our manufactures, and secondly, by securing a constant and never failing supply of food. That country at once offers us abundance in its productiveness, and the means of purchase from its trade. On the other hand, Mr. Polk cannot fail to see that a closer inter. course with this country would secure a steady demand for that produce which it is most to the interest of the United States to rai e, while the people would be supplied with our manufactures at a lower peice, and his revenue made secure. At the present moment, however, the overtures of the United States to this country, and the terms on which they are made, are singularly adapted to our necessities, and unusua'ly easy of accomplishment. Mr. Walker freely exposes his real position to our Minister. The American Government have little doubt of carrying their new tariff in Congress, but frankly admit their doubts as to its fate in the Senate. But they say to us, admit our Indian corn into your markets, and so give us the support of those who should be the Ciller and natural promoters of a low tariff on British manufactures, and our measure is safe, It would be difficult to conceive a pro pel:4CM which at this time could be made to our Government in etery way so convenient, and the adoption of which would be so filll Of promise. If we open our ports it must be, considering the diVittitrt Condition of the continent of Europe, chiefly for American -are If we reqtatf! sr cheap and effective substitute for the Irelarid, there is none so good as Indian perished potato duty, could be supplied in corn, which at this time, if free .. -'er. And, judging great abundance at twenty shillings the qua-- Iture, from the past, looking only to the interests of it would be difficult to confer a greater boon on e.._ British farmer at all times than to furnish him with a plentiful and cheap supply of this grain So that looking only to our own interests, whether temporary or permanent, the overtures of the American Government present exactly those advantages which should have suggested themselves to the mind of an English statesman. And at the present time there are peculiar reasons why Sir Robert Peel should feel solicitous with respect to our trade with the United States. Of late years webave depended, to a great extent, for the inpreasing export of our 7111 anufactu res upon the continental markets.
