Numerous projected lines now before the pa' lie will make Oxford at the north, anti Salisbury at the south of the intended Raihead the central points from which varic,us radii will di'. erge to the north west, north, and north-cast of the dbrincr, and to the east, south, and west of the latter; and the proposed Line from Cambridge to Ox ord, continuing to that city the co :r , e of Itailivay fi can the north-eastern part , z of the island, requires now suggested to effect a coiXwete means of transit to the, wtsterd z i sanat•westcrn counties. ne ON.- - ord alis , iury Direct Railway, in addition to tha. benefits which win co:,ferred upon the nation at lat~•e, by preferrhtg a ditect line of commit:l:cation be tw the north-cab,rn and western and south-western par is of England, will afford to the boron h of Abingdon, Ulf market towns of Wantage, HungerCoro, and Ludgershall, and flu! adjacent villages, au Important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they are seated stand in much net .0, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the kir) ;dom. _ . _ _ `,he want of railway accommodation has long bren felt to press an fairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of AD ingdoa. Their means and opportunities of competing with the more .%/ - tunate traders or those towns which are already provided with M t vet channels of tra::sit, are thus severely crippled. The same remark miles in some degree to the market town of Wastage, which, as well as Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits tad advantages produced by railway traffic. it has therefore been determined to commence the proposed line at /stoat, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great Vest.,?.rn Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abhtgd n a direct rail ' oad to London. Dy continuing the projected railway to Wantoge, the lame facility of transit to - London will be afforded to that place ; and A perfect line of road from the north-eastent counties will, by a junc tion with the - projection front - Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, through the towns which have been named, liungerford and Ludgers hal I to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis tricts. A. map of the line, and a statistical report of the whole country Intended to be traVerscd, Is in course of preparation, and \vial the . n antes of an influential provisional Committee, will very shortly b published.

The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire coal-field, to a depdt proposed to be formed at Wistanstow, fur the supply of South Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and Herefordshire, and also from whence it will be conveyed by the " Hereford, Shrews bury, and North Wales Railway," into Idontgomers shire and the neighbouring counties, where coal does not exist. It is impossible to calculate the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the direct railway communication thus opened between the Shropshire coal-field, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown and Llanidloes, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at those places, and the flannel marufacturers, now depend ing upon water power, will, by the cheapness of coal, be enabled to employ steam, and to extend their trade in proportion to the-great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, in preference to any other. The importance of this subject will have its due weight with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused by the stoppage of the mills from an insufficiency of water. A considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shrop shire. iromnastcrs, for the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh hor.rhood of Much Wenlock to the furnaces, by several transits of Ise.id :Ind water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey it (.! , -,t into the heart of the works, and at one-third of the expense. By its junction with the " Grand Junction" and the " Hereford and Shrewsbury" lizliways, this line will form a direct communica tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, York and Hull, and Swansea and South Wales. As a junction line alone (connecting as it will such important rail ways), a large passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it is conside:ed that the centre of the line passes through a densely populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving agricultural neighbourhood, it 'will be obvious that a sufficient local traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of capital required to be embarked. The line, which will not interfere with any property of an orna mental or costly elesacter, will not exceed 46 miles in length, and viii be constructed at much less than the average cost. Such important local co-operation has been secured, that no oppo sition is anticipated or can be sustained against the measure. The liability of the Shareholders tv:2 be limited, by the Act, to the amcunt of their suriscrilli ,l to the capital stock ; and power will be applied for to allow interest at the rats of four per cent per annum en the amount of the deposit, and upon the 'further calls, troll tbe date of each pal. meld until the opening of the line ; and the first deforsit be!tig paid, a further call will not be mzde until the Ae of Parliament shall have been obtained.

The above Company formed by an amalgamation of the Notting. ham, Erew..sh Valley, Amber Gate, and Manchester, the Nottingh am Yale of Bclvoir, and Grantham, and the Nottingham and Boston Railways, is intended to carry out the original object of those Com• pai,les with an extension to Spalding. The Directors have the satis faction to state that by arrangements now made, this Company will have the powerful all and hearty co-operation of the Manchest r, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Junction Railway Company, the Lynn and Ely Railway Company, and the Lynn and Dereham Rail way Com:any. The Committee congratulate the Shareholders upon this accession, which while it affords a mutually beneficial interchange of traffic and a facility in carrying out the objects o 1 this undertaking, insures that unity of interest which is the best guarantee of perma nent suttees. They have also effected an amalgamation of interests with the canals in the district, upon terms not only beneficial to the share holders of this Company in a pecuniary point of view, but upon such as will secure to this Company the influence of nearly every nobleman and gentleman through whose property the line will ptv,s. The treaty which has been pending with the Midland Railway, the Dirextors are happy to state, will shortly be satisfactorily concluded • upon terms, which they feel assured, will receive the full approbation of the Shareholders of this Company. The Directors are now in a position to go to Parliament as a unite i and most influential body, for the purpose of making a direct and integral line of Railway from the terminus of the Man ele..ster, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction Railway at Amber thee, by Nottingham and Grantham to Boston and Spalding. At Spalding it is proposed t 1 form a junction with the line of the Lynn and Ely Company projected from Wisbeach to Spalding. Thus the scheme as now developed becomes one of a national cha racter—it effects, by : the most desirable practical route, the junction of Boston, Spalding, Lynn, Wisbeach, Norwich, Great Yarmouth, and the whole of the easternand south-eastern part of the kingdom with Liverpool, Manchester, and the great manufacturing districts of Lancashire and Cheslnre, and the great coal and iron districts of Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and Staffordshire. The town and environs of Nottingham alone contain a population of upwards of 100,000 persons, extensively employed in the cotton, silk, and lace manufacture ; and this line, by its connexion with the proposed Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, anti Midlands Jtmctlon Rail way, will reduce the distance upwards of 70 miles from that impor tant town to Manchester and Liverpool, as compared with exisdng routes; and will bring the eastern parts of Lincolnshire and Norfolk within a few hours journey of those hives of industry and sources of wealth. The line will pass through the extensive Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Coal-field, and by its junction with the Midlands Railway at Amber Gate, and its contiguity to the limestone and gritstone quarries of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, will afford an unlimited quantity of coal, lime, and building stone to districts hitherto only partially and expensively supplied with those important articles. By the cheap and expeditious transit provided by this line, coal will he reduced to at least one-half the average price at which it is usually sold in Lincolnshire, and when that traffic is fully developed, the income to be derived to the Company, and the benfit conferred on the public, will be immense. Boston and Spalding, and the immediate country connected with those important towns, are situated in the richest productive districts in the kingdom. The corn And cattle are consumed in the large manufacturing towns in the midland and western counties, and the carriage of these to the con -1 suming districts will alone furnish a constant and certain source of revenue. A very considerable amount of the vast staple produce of Notting ham, Derby, Loughborough, Leicester, and the neighbourhood, which is exported to Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Germany, and all other parts of the Baltic, is now conveyed by a circuitous and expensive route to Hull and London for exportation ; whereas on the com pletion of this line it will be transmitted direct to the eastern ports, and from thence shipped to those countries in much less time and at much less expense. The Railway will also provide an easy and cheap access from Not tintiham and the eastern parts of England to Matlock, Buxton, Bake well, Chatsworth, and !redden, and the romantic scenery of the Peak, and by opening objects so rich in their attraction, will, beyond doubt, command a large proportion of that pleasure travelling by which ex isting lines have so much benefited. It will be thus seen that the proposed line contains all the elements of a profitable rallway;it has a sea coast and seaport towns at its eastern termini; it unites the richest and most productive agricul tural district of England with the great seats of manufacture and consumption, it provides an outlet for the coal and minerels of Not ingharosbtro and Duri,yshire into districts at present oil,. pz:etially net supplied, and it conels the east with and wt.:ler.: counties by the shortest i-v.ict:cal>le route. The line having !,,,en now laid out is reported to be free from en gineering-diffieulties, and the cost of formaVon will be much below tie fiver: Wk. as eanydared with oilier Direct, , r or halyy If, $l, 1,1*. - .;'•erty iy !n - . .

To afford the very important division of the Kingdom the benefits of railway communication, and to promote and stimulate the pro gressively increasing pastoral, agricultural, and commercial, improve nwnts which of lute years have made such rapid strides in these counties, it is proposed to form, under the sanction of the most Influential patronage, a - railway by the most direct practicable route, to connect these northern and producing districts with the southern and consuming portions of the empire. . Adopting the line which may be found the shortest to Dingwall consistent with a due regard to economy in its execution and work ing, and to the rights and interests of private parties, and from Dint wall by Novar to Bonar-bridge, the dista , ce of the county of Suther land from Inverness would be many miles shorter than by any other route. From Bonar the line would pass by lairg through the valleys of the Brora and of the Frie, and by F.trath Hclinsdale to the Thurso water; thus nearly bisecting the county of Sutherland through its . length and passing into the most populous parts of Caithness, diverging to the right and left to Wick and Thurso. A branch might be formed to connect the coast of Sutherland with the trunk line. . . . . . . In Boss-shire a branch would be formed from the main line to In vergordon; and this branch might be extended to the burgh of Tain. Arrangements are being made for having the lines (the courses of which arebut generally indicated above) carefully examined by ex perienced surveyors and engineers ; and as soon as data which may be relied on have been matured, a full prospectus, with the names of the promoters and Provisional Committee and detailed particulars, will be published. • Meantime communications from parties interested in theTroposed undertaking may. up to the Ist of .October next, be addressed to William Mackenzie, Esq., of Muirton, W.S., by Dingwall ; Hugh Innes Cameron, Esq., Provost .of Dingwall ; G.

This railway is intended to commence at the east part of the city of Exeter, neat St. Sidwells, and after passing through Topshain m, with a fork at Woodbury by Lympstoue to, Exmouth, w ill proceed, an east,rly direction, towards Sidmouth, and thence, near Colyton, B e er, Seaton, Axmouth, Lyme Regis, and Charmouth, to Bri d p ort • At Bridport the line will divide, tailing the course direct to Dor chester, to join the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, and the other, passing near Bridport harbour and Ahbotsbury to IVeymouth. At Exeter, junction.:will be formed with the Bristol and Exet er and North Devon Railways, and at Exmouth with the South Devon, by as means of their steam ferry, thus mak fig the most direct route to ny t neuth fun] well as be Also at Dorchester and Weymouth it will with the Dorchester and Southampton at Do •chester. It will he seen, on refl•renle to the snap, that by forming a June- Bon with the lines of coast railway that have already been con structed or commenced from Exeter westward, and from D orchester eastward, and by.following the coast as nearly as is pract icable be be connected with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, tween its termini, this line will effectually complete a railway com manic din , from Dover to the Lands End, ass undertaking in itself of great national importance, and likely to meet with the cordial sup port of the Government. • • Its fixing tins course which this Railway will take, it has been the careful consideration of the Promoters to project only such a Line as will afford the greatest facility of communication to the populous and important towns and fashionable watering places which are situated on and near that part of the Coast which this Railway is Particu larly meant to accommodate; whilst, at the same B.: e, the Agri cultural, Ma.nutheturing, and Commercial Interests of this part of the Kingdom have been equally studied. • This Line will also open such additional means of communication to the Port of Weymouth, the large Manufacturing Town and °Hanr bour of Bridport, and the Harbour of Lyme Regis, as must eve tually replace them in that high position, when compared with the other j'orts of the Kingdom, which they formerly held. The Water- Mg-Places of Exmouth, Budleigh-Salterton, Sidrnouth, Charmouth, Lyme-Regis, We' mouth, &c., will be thus thrown open to every part of England and Wales, and accommodated with that facility of ac cess which they alone require to place thesis on an equal position with other favourite places of resort, for which the picturesque In land and bold Coast-Scenery of Devonshire and Dorsetshire is pre eminently proverbial, and justly entitles them to hold. The following extract from the Report of the Select Committee of the House of Lords on the " Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Rail way," made on the 18th of June, 1845, will show the sense enter tained by that body of the importance of a line of railway In the di rection proposed by the present Company.:—" In snaking their re port, the Committee, feel it their duty to state that the great diffi culty with them, in deciding on the Bill referred to them, had arisen from tile fear they entertained whether, in allowing the Great Western Railway to come down to the so. at Weymouth, or, even be low Yeovil, they might not be creating a difficulty as to making a railway' in the most desirable manner to Falmouth, the most westerly port iu the Channel." The great importance of this railway may be further estimated, from a consideration of the fact that the local population which would be benefited by its construction exceeds two hundred thousand persons. w hich will be one of the termini o f th e And also that Weymouth , line, is about to beco me a g reat National Harbour of Refu ge and Packet-station, lay the constru ction of a breakwater in Portland Roads, in accordance with the recommendation of the Government Commissioners, for which purpose a grant was made during th e l as t session of Parliament for commenting the works. The additional population and traffic, wh ich will thus be attracted to this port, will be very considerable. A preliminary euriey has been made, and there are no peculiar e igincering difficulties. The length of the main line, from Exeter to Dorchester, will be about fifty-two miles; and of the Forks, or exten s'.ons, to Weymouth, and Exmoeth, about sixteen miles ; making, in the whole, sixty-eight miles of railway. The sentiments of the landowners are favourable to the construc tion of a railway calculat ed, as this is, very greatly to benefit their properties, and In the aliotment of shares preference will be given to the applications of persons locally interested. Estimates of the traffic h ave been carefully prepared by the pro moters of the line, from which it is evident that an ample re turn will be obtained for the investment of capital ha the undertak ing. More detailed traf fic tables will, however, be forthwith com piled, as required by the C ommittees of both Houses of Parliament. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow nterest at 41. per cent. on the amount of deposit and calls from the passing of the Act until the completion of the line, and the liabilit y of Shareholders will be limi ted to the amount of their subscriptions.

After most mature deliberation, they have resolved to recommend to their shareholders and the public the imme diate carrying out of a railway to effect this object, which will be most desirable, as a completion to their own line, and highly - aaya.ntage ens in a pecuniary sense and on public grounds.

The object proposed by this railway is, as well to supply the wants of the district through which it passes, as to complete the chain of railway communication between the eastern and midland counties and the western district, including the whole of North and South Wales. The country embraced by this line is of the richest description, and thickly this,populated.Ba tl sida7inni Leeds, tgeh t e d h ce st,ye easternxa jo i fs, d the arean::d north-easternprojected counties, railway,nties,lin cluding ic i h io , le an o d f I to ,o wn rks s h n i f re Le w ice n s l te be r, the 3 w it ' gnhngoi the a the nh ue p o brought in direct communication with the mineral districts of North and South Wales, the salt district of Droitwich, and the river Severn. The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import ant COLIFIdCratiOII, the abating of those causes of loss and inconveni ence which, riong the line of country over which this railway will pass, are experienced from water carriage being from necessity at present a principal mode of transit for heavy goods and merchandise, and whielei n the winter season, is productive of the most evil con sequences to those engaged in commerce. A manifest advantage to the Shareholders will be the extent of traffic which will be secured and appropriated by the present undertaking, in lieu of that which hitherto has been engrossed by the more dilatory course of water carriage. As a public advantage to the inhabitants generally of the above-mentioned districts, the promoters submit that the equa lisation in prices of the produce and merchandise which the opening of this line of railway is calculated to produce is of the high est importance, and one of the principal benefits which this and other similar undertakings are aloe e capable of producing. The prol•osed line will commence at Rugby, the terminus of the Midland Counties and Trent Valley Railways, and also of the pro posed Rugby end Huntingdon Junction Railway, and proceed from thence near to the towns of Leamington, Warwick, and Alcester, and end at the City of Worcester. At Worcester this line will form a junction with the several Welsh railways, the Shrewsbury, Wor cester, and Crewe Railway, and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol. verhampton Railway. At Warwick it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway. And at Rugby with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railway. To the inhabitants of Rugby as well as to those of the Midland, Eastern, and Northern Counties this line will afford a direct com munication with the fashionable towns of Leamington and Chelten ham, as well as the whole of the Western Counties. To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick it will give a direct communication with the City of Worcester and North and South Wales, now so much needed. And to the inhabitants of Worcester, in addition to providing the nearest route to London via Warwick, it will be an outlet to the Eastern Counties and ports, and afford great facilities for the increase of the manufactories now carried on in that city. The whole of the country has during the present month, August, MS, been most carefully surveyed by the engineers, and they report it to be free from engineering nifllculty, and well adapted for a rail• way, and the provisional Directors entertain no doubt that the line will be made under the average rate of expense incident to similar undertakings, and, from the statistics in their possession, that the traffic will afford an ample return for the capital invested. The line will mot Interfere with any ornamental property, and the landowners are favourable to the undertaking. The Shareholders in the several Railways proposed to be joined or hitersected will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this undertaking. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied far to allow Interest at 41. per cc ntum on all calls, from the time of their respective payments, and to limit the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their sub scriptions. The Directors reserve power to themselves to amalgamate with any existing or projected line of railway; to vary the route; to make all desirable extensions; and to increase the capital as may be advisable or necessary. iz Messrs.

The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as the point where the broad gunge trunk lines of the west are to have a common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have lecided on constructing a line of rail :—another project under the pa tronage of the same l owerful direction is now before the public, uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge 'will be carried from Worcester Into Wades, and to the Irish packet stations on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will com plete a series of great avenues ,i' 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 district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stonrbridge a little to the east, the line is taken to Rridgenorth, 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 , tug through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, from which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wcm, enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and Crewe Railwey. The trunk line will continue from Whitchurch, and passing through or near 3f alpas, 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, ninny sources of profit present themselves, such are the dense population located along the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry in v, hich they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned the China manufactories of Worcester, the iron, coal, and earthen ware works at Broseley and other places; the agricultural produce brought to Stout port market; the inexhaustible fields of coal and mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbrldge, and the districts to the cast 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 better qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many other localities. As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxWarY to existing or projected lines passing In various directions, few schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater iiniceinneini t for investment, or a wider range of aceommedation trafficchmdri travelling.
