Watts, Galsworthy, and Galsworthy, 19, Ely place, Holborn Sulu - I'm—Samuel Stanway, Esq. The first line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Loughborough station on the Midland Counties line, and pro ceed through the Vale of Sheepshead, to Pegs Green Colliery, near to the terminus of the Leicester and Swannington Rail way', and front thence through the coal-fields of Swannington and Cole-Orton to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It will thence proceed across the Moira Coal-field and through the rich agricultural districts of Seal, Clifton Campville, and Edingale, to the Birmingham and Derby Railway, which it will cross near to Elford Park Farm, and thence traverse the Valley of the Tame until it reaches Alrewas, where it will form a junction with the branch of the Trent Valley line now in progress of making. At this point it also meets the proposed South Staffordshire line, by which means it reaches Lichfield, and by means of one of the proposed lines it will afford communication with Bir mingham. From Loughborough the line will be thrther continued to A sfordby on the Syston and Peterborough Railway, now in progress, awl by means of this latter line, a direct intercourse will be opened with Melton Mowbray and the various towns through which that route passes to Peterborough. Bymeans of its junction with the Trent Valley line at Alrewas, the Grand Trunk reaches Colwich, and there meets the proposed North Staffordshire line, which proceeds through the heart of the Potteries to Newcastle-under-Lyme, Leek, and Macclesfield. By means also of the same Trent Valley line at Alrewas the Grand Trunk pro ceeds through Rugeley to Stafford, thus completing its route, and forming a connecting line between the Midland and Grand Junction Railways. This branch of the Hoe was formerly surveyed by Mr. Rastrick, and approved of by him as a canal communication, so that no engineering difficulties exist. The second line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Derby station, and taking the course of the Derby Canal proceed to Chellaston, where there are extensive plaster-works, and thence by Swarkestone to the river Trent, which it will cross near to the ferry at Weston Cliffe, and so proceed to Kings Newton and Melbourne. From the latter place it will pass by the village of Wilson to Breedon-on-the-Hill, where there are extensive lime-works, and thence proceed by Staunton Harold, communicat ing by a branch line with the lead, lime, and coal works there ; thence by the Loant Colliery to Worthington Rough, where it will follow the line of the Cole-Orton and Swannington Railway until its junction with the first line *l' the Grand Trunk at or near the Pegs Green Colliery, and so proceed from thence to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. At Ashby-de-la-Zouch the Grand Trunk forms a junction with the proposed Nottingham and Birminghsm, and with the proposed Great Manchester, Rugby, and Southampton Railways. Its importance as a line for passengers is too obvious for comment, forming as it does a complete junction between those two great thoroughfares, the Mid land and Grand Junction Railways, and by its branch from Derby to Ashby-de-la-Zouch another complete junction between the Great Northemi and Southern lines now in progress, thus opeaing a direct line of communication to all parts of the kingdom. As a line for traffic, the Grand Trunk will form the most direct transit to the Leicestershire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire iron and coal fields, to the Burton breweries, to North and South Wales, and Ireland to Scotland, and all parts of the north, and to the eastern, southern, and western parts of the empire. It will also be the nearest and most direct communication from the cast to the north western manufacturing districts, as well as become the great route from all parts of the kingdom to the midland counties of England. The mineral resources are of the very highest order. The Moira coal-field is inexhaustible, whilst the coal-beds at Stnunton Harold alone comprise the finest quality of Kennel to a depth of seven feet, with a super stratum of main coal to a depth of six feet. The sub stratum is yet to be worked. There are beds of Kennel and main coal at Cole Orton of equal quality, though net of equal depth with those of Staunton Harold, whilst the main coal at Swannington is nn rivalled, being, in fact, the bowl of the Leicestershire and Derbyshire coal strata. It is needless to describe the beneficial results which must arise from this opening of the midland coal district to the Lon don and southern markets. At Staunton Harold and Calke exist rich veins of lead ore, now in fall course of working. The properties of the Breedon, Staunton Harold, and Ticknall lime are so well knossu to agriculturists and others, that an extension of traffic for so valuable a commodity into mere remote districts must be of the utmost importance to the practical farmer. In approaching the Trent, on leaving the lime district, the Grand Trunk will fall in with most valuable quarries of millstone grit, ser viceable for paving and building purposes, and for which a ready market would be found along the lino. The country also abounds in gypsum, of which immense quantities are used in Birming ham and elsewhere: these markets will thus become opened for the quarries at Chellaston. Anew and extensive outlet will also he opened for the earthenware of Wooden Box and Griesloy Potteries. Until the Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs will be under the control of the Committee of Management, to whom power is given to allot the shares and apply the funds of the Company in payment of all proper expenses in the formation of the Company and otherwise. Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime the Committee of Management take power, to alter or extend the lines, to make branch lines, to abandon any part of the line, to raise addi tional capital, and to enter into arrangements with any other Com pany or C'unpanies.

The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as the point where the broad gauge trunk:Aries of the west areto have a common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have decided on constructing a line of rail :—another proje,t under the pa tronage of the same powerful direction is now before the public, uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, 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 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 arc located. Leaving Stourbridge a little to the east, the line is taken to aridgenorth, 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 Wenlook, Broseley - , and Madeley, from which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its oeurge Wellington and Warn enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed to NorWich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitchureli, and passing through pr near Malpas, have its northern terminus in the city of Chester. lit estimating the probable amount of revenue which the Worces ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many 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 which they tre engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned the china marufactories of IVercester the iron, coal, and earthen ware works at Broseley and other places; the agricultural province 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. Ths line traverses a district affording levels of several miles in exteat, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi dent populsit:on, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring winds.- Um 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 auxiliary to exiatiog or projecte4 Wles poing is v4riott3 directione, t'ew 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, ►s the half way station of the London and rortdynnllaen broad gauge : by projected lines a direct communication will be attonled west ward to Swansea and Aberyetwith, and, eastward, to Warwick and Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, narwhal, Lynn, Lincoln, ani Bull. The line has been repeatedly and careiblly examined by the Com pany's acting engineer, who reports that the rail Ihr many miles may N laid on the natural level—that the gradients are in every in stance favourable—that the geological struct•ire of the districts to N traversed Is equally co, and that the want of such a line of com munication is acknowledged by the Interests seated on its proposed Course.

The Itarortance of connecting remote parts of England by Rail ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns and districts, can scarcely be better exemplified than by the Line which is now proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines now before the public will make Oxford at the north, and Salisbury at the south of the intended Railroad the central points from which various radii will diverge to the north-►west, north, and north-cast of the former, and to -the east, south, and west of the latter; and the proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the eo•:rse of Railway front the north-eastern parts of the island, requires the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to time western and south-western counties. The Oxford and i.alishary Direct Railway, in addition to the benefits which Will he conferred upon the nation at large, by preferring a direct line of communication be tween the north-eastern and western and south-wester► parts of Engkmd, will afford to the borough of Abingdon, the market towns of Wantage, Hungerford, and Ludgershall, and the adjacent villages, en important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they aro seated stand in much need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the kingdom. The want of railway accommodation Las long been felt to press unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of Abingdon. Their means and upportunitiee of competing with the more fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di rect clianuels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same remark applies in some degree to the market town of \Vantage, which, n. 5 well as Hungertbrd and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced by railway traitio. It has therefore been deternithod to commence the propeeevitt ne at Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail road to London. By continuing the projected railway to \Ventage, the sonic facility of transit to London will be afforded to that place; and a perfect line of road from the north-eastern counties will, by n junc tion with the projection Irons Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, through the towns which have been named, Hungenord and Lodgers ball 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 traversed, is in course of preparation, and with the names of an influential provisional Committee, will very shortly be published. In the meantime, thrther information may be ob tained from :Messrs.

ENGINEER—EIijah Galloway, This line will commence at the Long Eaton station of the Midland Counties Hallway, and will proceed in a direst line to or near Castle Donington, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Measham, and Market Bosworte hr Nimenton; joining, at Market Bosworth. the Birmingham brnucli, projected by the Tamwort h and Leiverter Company, and at Numeet au. the projected Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester Railway, at the point where that line crosses the Treat Valley Doe. Thus a direct communication will be formed between the important towns of Nottingham, Newark, and Lincoln on the one aide, and Birmingham, Coventry, and Warwick on the other side, at the Ramo time supplying a rich mineral and agricultural district with railway advantages. A reference to the map will show that this railway Will also orgn. mend other collateral advantages. There is no doubt that the proposed railway eoraranntenthm tr tWeen Cheltenham and Warwick will bo etTeeted, in which else tats proposed line will till up the railway chasm nt present existing be tween the counties of Gloucester and Worcester, and Nottingham an d Lincoln. and thus form a direct line from the Severn at Glouces ter to the Humber at Great Grimsby. An amalgamation of the (heat Grimsby and Sheffield Junction with the Grimsby Bock Company being now determined on, a large amount of capital will be expended in rendering Great Grimsby a port of the first importance ; and Itt must be obvious that the traffic to that port, from the district eouth west of Warwick, will be very great. The distance saved by the proposed line between Lsemlngten, Warwick, Coventry. and Nottingham will be about fourteen Intloti and between Birmingham and Nottingham (by either of the pre u jent _ea_ lines from Birmingham to Leicester) the saving will be about r 2s t o cr_ miles.

TAME OF DIATINCES. Present I►istances. I Miles By propot3ed I saving Route, about i , Offices of the Company, 33, Grisham-street The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway is a direct line from London to Manchester, coming from London to Rugby, along the London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby to Hinck ley through Market-Bosworth and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to Derby, thence to Ashbourne, by Leek to Maecles.field, and along the Mac clesfield and Stockport, and Stockport and Manchester Railways, into Manchester. A branch to Buxton is in contemplation. The principle.of this railway is to obtain a direct through line be tween some of the most important districts in the kingdom with the least possible smomit or new num.., eonseauently, the smallest expenditure of capital. It will also establish the shortest direct communication between Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns on the North Midland Railway and London. The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway, will open a direct communication between Manchester and Derby, and will consider ably shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham and Manchester and Leicester. The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi cation from that town to London, which has been so long considered desirable by the inhabitants. The same will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester field branch of the Borth Midland Railway is made. The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, In connexion with the Oxford and Rugby, and Oxford, Southampton, aid Gosport Rail way, forms a direct Manchester and Southampton line. THE GREAT ADVANTAGES Of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, ever the other pro jects into Manchester, among oth.rs, are— First. That there arc only seventy-five miles of railway to be made in place of one hundred and eighty-nine. Second. That it is a more direct line tom London to Manchester than even the proposed direct lines. — ilrd. That 'it interferes with no existing railway property or Tested interests. Fourth. That it passes through a District rich in manufactures, agriculture, and minerals, but which —more especially as regards - its agricultural produce, and a convenient system of intercommunica tion for the conveyance of that agricultural produce, to supply the large manufacturing towns in the vicinity—has been hitherto left to tally without railway communication. Fifth. That it passes through the towns in its route, instead of avoiding them. Sixth. That the whole line of railway from Rugby to Manchester will be completed and in working order within tcn months fron; the passing of the Act of Parliament. Seventh. That the maps, plans, estimates, and other documents required by the standing orders of Parliament will be lodged with the parish clerks, the clerks of the peace for the counties, and the Parliamentary offices, on the 10th of November next, being twenty days within the time required by the regulations of Parliament. In the allotment of shares a preference will he given, to the ex tent of 10,000 shares, to the holders of stock in the London and Bir mingham Railway ; also, of 2,000 shares to the shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Railway Company ; of 1,000 shares to the Oxford and Rugby Railway Company ; and 2,000 shares to the Manchester and Birmingham Railway Company.

The coal in addition to Its being of excellent quality for iron making, as is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdeen, is also, like that of those districts, of the very best description for hteam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de scription of coal established for steam purposes over any other, that the demand for it far exceeds the supply, and promises, accord ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super sede all others for purposes of steam navigation. This source of traffic alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested, AS has been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads or canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other less protnlsing Tallies In Wales than the Rhondda, which is ecle hrated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro ductions. An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the menu- Nature of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by means of this Railway, mach nearer and cheaper than by any other line. This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich Tales of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great market town and port of Cardiff, front whence, at present, they may be said to be almost excluded. It is intended that the line shall commence at Blaen Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down to a natural pass between the hills at Ffrwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of six miles) to Lanclay-bridge, near Lantriesent, and there join the South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication under the most advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the British channel. A preliminary surrey has already been made by competent par ties, and it is found that the country admits of highly favourable gradients, so much so that it is confidently anticipated that the works will be executed very considerably under the advertised ca pital. The landowners along the line are favourable to this undartakinz, and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the Provisional Committee. No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his de posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company shall be under the control of the 3i:imaging Directors, to whom power is glean to allot the Shares, and to apply thetur.da °fills Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in Its forma tion, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for in the Act (and In the meantime is hereby given to the Managing Directors as above), to raise any addi tional capital, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make branch flues, or enter into any arrangenients, by amalgamation or otherwise, with any other company or companies, and also to nomi nate the first Directors of the Company. In the allottment of Shares, a preference Will ho given to landowners on the line and other parties locally interested.

SECRETARY. • This Company is formed for milking a railway from Liverpool to Derby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest route from Liverpool to London. It will commence at Liverpool, and proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to within a importance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off, in a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, Knutsford, and Congleton to Leek (there joining the Manchester and Rugby Rail way), and from thence through Ashbourne to Derlel The whole length of the proposed line will be about sixty-six mffiss. It will be seen by reference to the. map that this important line of railway will form the shortest route from Liverpool to London and effect a direct chain of communication between Liverpool and Derby, and will thence, by means of the Midlands and other railways, open an unin terrupted route to the more eastern counties, and afford a complete midland communication between the eastern and western parts of the kingdom and the important intermediate manufacturing districts. The most important feature in this railway is that it forms the shortest road from Liverpool to London. The distance by it, with the Manchester and Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will be only 188 miles, whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and by the Trent galley Railway 2003 miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles In one instance, and 123{ r miles in the other. And as regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole distance between Liverpool and Darby will be reduced by this line to about 74 miles, thus decreasing the distance by any present existing railway, et least 46 miles ; an advantage which carries in itself the conviction of the necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to connect more immediately two such important towns, especially when these towns are but the foci, as it were, for other railways from still more distant localitlei, as before adverted to. The distance also from Manchester to Leek (where the proposed railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) will be about 30 miles, and from Leek to Derby about 26 miles, making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only b 6% miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communi cation between those important towns by about 28 milts, an object most desirable to be attained, and of itself quite sufficient to recom mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial results. But great as these results most certainly will be, they are far oat ' weighed by the very important consideration that, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway, it will also be the most direct route from Liverpool to Loudon. The distance from Liverpool to Leek (tire proposed point ot' Junc tion with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 473{ miles; ,from Leek to Rugby, according to the line as proposed by the Man chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and from Rugby to London 83 miles; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to London 1883 miles, instead of 210, by the present route. With regard to the traffic and other details connected with time,t working of the line, it seems only necessary to revert to tha cfa r i e u t n importance of the towns proposed to be brought in to comnn with each other, in order to convince the minds of ail that the ' source of revenue thus derived will be immense. There are no engineering difficulties connected with the forming of the line. • 1 n til the ct o s The deeds will provide that n o ceil u shall b e mad t.on ar theament share holders beyond the depesit now paid obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4f. per cent. interest on all calls. pec tnses, maps. and shares, may be A ppl es tiens for detailed pros made to the Seercta r s , at the officesiii7aBn,chKeisitiegr, .i aV1111,1( the ian- following oilow ng I on d o n • and a t 22, cross-street, Stmarebroltors : —M e ssrs.
