This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and form a direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Wyre, and Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Commencing at Lancaster, it will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergh, and Kirkby Stephen, and thence by the most practicable line to New castle. It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, which has hitherto been the principal passenger route front Lancaster to Newcastle. It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining districts of Durham and Northumberland, and the important towns and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, anA Lancaster. The entire length of the line it rich in mineral productions—coal slate, limestone, marble, and other elements of a great local traffic ftildifind, and cannot fail to make this one of the most remunerative. mbjects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the important towns on the termini is effected over any existing er pro jected scheme. It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make suck alterations in the line, or the amount of capital required, or other wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests ithe Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Act to the opening of the line, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscriptions only.

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, and the western and midland districts. Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereh am, Lynn, and Ilolbeack Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn. Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and WymOndham, to a point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton- Mowbray, thus forming, by. the Syston and Peterborough and Mid land Counties Itailway, 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 most direct communication be tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincela, Norfolk, Shropshire, and. North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles than any other line of railway. It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct line across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west. The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is notunnel ling, cutting, 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 cost. It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open ing cut 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 tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works, to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland railway converge at Spalding, which is coast for the midland counties, and dis tricts will ontain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean. Several thene The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the ares p t r pointop os e d on lineste easterno f necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and B oston , 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 s urveys have been commenced , and are now in active progreis, and contracts have been entered into which en sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing order s . Forms of application for shares, plans, and prospectuses may be had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra falgar-square, Charing•cross, where applications for shares, accom panied by-respectable references, may be addressed to the Provi sional Committee.

This line has been projected for the iorpose of forming the most direct communication lietween Binning'Bum and the Midland Coun ties, and the important and rising port of Aberystwith and the sea coast of Wales. _ _ It is intended to commeace at the junction of the Welch Midland and Stour Valley Railways (both of which have projected lines to Birmingham), between Kidderminster and Bewdley, and proceed from thence through Cleobury Mortimer to Ludlow, where it will form a junction with the Worcester and Portdyallaen, and Bridgnorth, Ludlow, and Wolverhampton Railways. From Ludlow it will follow the line of the present mail road, along the Valley of the Teme to Knighton, from which place It is intended to throw off a branch to the Craven Arms, to run into the Shropshire Mineral Railway, which has its terminus at that place. The line will proceed from Knighton to Lianidloes, where it will join the projeeteO Manchester and Aberystwith Railway, and proceed along that line for the re mainder of the distance. The nee of all projected lines being thus sought for, the part to be made will not exceed sixty miles ; and as surveyors are already upon the line, the plans, &c., will all be ready to go to Parliament in the ensuing session. The advantages of the present line over any other projected rail way between Birmingham and Aberystwith are :—That it is the most direct route between the respective termini ; that it passes through a district at present unprovided with railway accommoda tion ; that by it and the Birmingham, Stamford, amid Boston lines, a regular chain of railway communication is opened between St. George's Channel and the German Ocean; and by the Great Eastern and Western line a communication is also opened with Yarmouth, Norwich, and King's Lynn ; that it will open the slate mines of Cardiganshire, and the limestone of Radnorshire to Shrop shire, and the whole of the midland counties ; while, on the ether hand, by the branch from the Craven Arms, the coals of Shropshire will be brought into Radnorshire, Montgomeryshire, and Cardigan shire, where that article does not exist, at little more than one-third of its present cost. From these and other sources of traffic it must be obvious that a high rate of interest upon the capital embarked may be depended upon. The line throughout the whole distance meets with the most influ ential local support, so as to ensure its complete success. There are no engineering difficulties of any magnitude, and no ornamental property will be invaded. Should the atmospheric pinei ple be fully tested and be found to answer, it will he adopted on this line. The responsibility of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions, and pAverwill be taken in the Act to allow in terest at four per cent. on the calls. The Committee 'reserve the usual power to amalgamate with any other existing Company or Companies, to limit or vary the line, as to them shall seem most expedient, in order to carry out the objects of the Company. omlliess Messrs.

At a meeting of the Provisional Committee of this undertaking, held at Radley's Hotel, on Wednesday, the sth Instant, it was una nimously resolved to apply fur powers to construct a branch line about four miles in length, from Elinsted to Alresford, thus connect ing the town of Colchester with the deep water of The river Coble, at the nearest point, and where vessels of 500 tons can discharge their cargoes with safety, by means of which Colchester will be com pletely established as a seaport town. The engineers reported that the cost of this branch, with all suit able works, would not exceed 50,0001., and it was resolved to Increase the capital by that amount accordingly, and instructions were given for the necessary survey being forthwith proceeded in. As the allotment of shares will not take place until the standing orders are complied with previously to the 30th instant, applications for prospectuses, plans, and shares, will continue to be received by the solicitors and brokers already advertised.

C. Holland, Chairman," and addressed to the applicants for shares in the proposed Great Grimsby, Sheffield, the Potteries, and Grand Junction Railway, is evidently, from the ambiguity of its phraseology intended to serve a particular purpose. The proposal for an amalgamation of the two undertakings above named was made by the promoters of the Great Grimsby, Sheffield, the Potteries, and Grand Junction Railway, awl not by the Pro visional Directors of the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Pateries, and Crewe Railway.% The latter feel that the adoption of any other course than the one they decided 'upon on the 24th ult. could not have proved otherwise than Injurious to the Interest of their shareholders. It is stated in the circular, that negotiations are now pending, with every prospect of success, of a nature which must materially eahance the value of this undertaking ; in reply to which it is sufficient to state that, whatever the negotiations here alluded to may be, none whatever are pending between the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Pot teries, aad Crewe, and Great Grimsby, Sheffield, the Potteries, and Grand Junction Committees.

The port of Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports from the manufacturing districts to the north of Europe, and the importance of direct communication from the midland counties to a plaso so ad vantageously situate cannot be ever-estimated. Leicester has, or shortly will have, direct commenleatiou with Birmingham, and all the other important towns in the midland district. The Midland Railway Company is extending the communication to Melton Mowbray, by means of its branch from Syston to Peter 'borough, which passes through that place. There is also a complete line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through Grantham and Folkingham, to Boston, as well as to Spalding, Wis beach, Lynn Yarmouth, and other important towns in the eastern counties. The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct Union Rail way, by forming a line from Melton Mowbray to Folkingliam, will supply the only link wanting to complete a direct through communi sation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worcester, Coventry, and the manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as by moans of existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Channel, to that seaport. The length of the proposed line will sot exceed twenty-six miles ; and as it will pass through a country very favourable for engineer ing purposes, the expense of construction will, it is expected, be less than the usual average. The admirable position of this railway cant not fail, it is confidently expected, to command a large return , bot h in passengers and in goods traffic. The Company will be in a situation to deposit the parliamentary plans and sections in ample time for complying with the • g orders, and enabling theta to apply for their Act In the ensuing session.

The immense droves of Welsh and Shropshire cattle will at once he conveyed into the important cattle markets of Derby shire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk, whilst, in return, the agricultural produce of those coun ties will be sent into the densely-populated localities of Birmingham and Wolverhampton, and the Staffordshire, Shropshire, and Welsh ironworks.

The facilities which will be aft' riled to visitors to Matlock, and the rest of the picturesque scenery of Derbyshire, and of North Wales and Aberyitwith, as well as to travellers via Holyhead to Ireland. will still further conduce to the general utility of the project.
