C ONSULT ING ENGINEER—CharIes Fox, Esq. NNGINEEILS. Elijah Gall way, Esq. James Bullivant Temalin, Esq. This line will commence at a point on the Midland Counties Rail way, near Kegworth, and will proceed in a direct line to Nuneaton, and thus, by means of other projected lines, a direct communication will be formed between the important towns of Nottingham, Newark, and Lincoln on the one side, and Birmingham, Coventry, and War wick on the other ; and as there is no doubt the proposed rail way between Cheltenham and Warwick will be formed, a direct communication will thus be effected between the Severn at Glouces ter, and the Humber at. Great Grimsby. At the same time, a rich mineral and agricultural district will be supplied with railway ad vantages. The line will pass through a very productive district, intersecting the Leicestershire coal-fields and limeworks, and will afford commu nication, north and south, to the Derbyshire potteries. With such an assured immediate and prospective amount of traffic, the profits on the small capital required cannot fail to be highly remunerative. In consequence of the lines in the coarse of formation, exclusive of those projected to Great Grimsby, that port will be rendered of the first importance, and it must be obvious that traffic from the district south-west of Warwick will be very great. The distance saved by the proposed line between Leamington, Warwick, Coventry, and Nottingham, will be about twenty miles ; and between Birmingham and Nottingham about six miles. As it is the shortest :route from Birmingham to Nottingham and Lincoln, it must secure the traffic from Birmingham to Notting ham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great Grimsby ; and by com municating with the Erewash Valley Railway at Long Eaton, it must command the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district south of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds, York, and the north of England generally. It will also afford a direct communication between Not ' tingham and the district between Warwick and Worcester, by means ' of the projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, aad the Warwick and Worcester Railways. The entire length of the line will be about twenty-four miles. The Parliamentary surveys are now in active progress, and contracts have ' been entered into with eminent surveyors, which will insure ample time for a compliance with the standing orders. The engineer also reports the country to be free from all engineering difficulties, and to present unusual facilities for the formation of the line. The Committee having determined upon making provision for com pleting the whole live to Coventry, in case circumstances should ren der such a course expedient, have resolved to raise the capital to 550,0001., in 27,500 shares of 20/. each. Any parties who may be desirous of withdrawing their applications in consequence of the above alterations in the project, must signify the same forthwith, otherwise the applicants for shares will be considered as acquiescing therein. v.••• Powers for allowance of interest at four per cent. of the paid-up capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the amount of their subscriptions.

AC NettOing this line will unite with that one of the now com- Pcturg schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to Loudon which shall be successful before Parliament. The contitry is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two exceptlims only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the very favourable gradients of by far the greater portion of the line ; indeed, for many miles the line will run upon a water level.

This undertaking is projected by influential local interests to supply the above important district; and a reference to ti a requirem ents of hill show that it will also complete the commUnication be t he map twee!, York, Leeds, and the intermediate towns in the most direct cours e with London. The surveys have been made by Sir John Mac ill and James Thompson, Esq., and the country is found to be fa , vourable to the constru tion of a railway ; and there is, perhaps, no in line of such importance which could be constructed at co so small lin expense as the sum nam e d i n the estimate. comparatively ll e length of the line will be but about thirty-nine Miles ; and by means of this short link, in connexion with existing projects from Nottingham, a saving will be effected between Leeds and the metro polis exceeding twenty-five miles. It will commence at the projected terminus of the Wakefield, Pon tefract, and Goole Railway, at Pontefract, and from thence proceed through Doncaster, Tickhill, and Worksop, to the terminus of tine Nottingham, Mansfield, and Midland Counties Railway, At Menelield ; .., thereby completing, by means of the York and North Midland Rail tray, the shortest route crepe York to Nottingham and London. It Fill also, by the propose i e x • i on li ne o f t h e W akefield, Pontefract 'Deft i' and Goole, from the and - Midland, near Methley, fbrne the nearest line between Leeds, Notting the Midl an d an d South ern Counties, and by th e G oo l e an d D oncaster l i ne, an uninterrupted c ommunication with Goole and the shipping port s -- oT umber. ---'' It will also for m a means of communication with the sever Jected lines, to the ri s i ng port of Great Grimsby. It is a remark a bl e f eature in this line, that there is no competing scheme, nor does it at a ll i nterfere with any ornamental or residen tial property. It is not consid ere d essent i al to enter into the details of traffic ; the value ofthe lines in th e di str i ct, in that respect, is a sufficient test of its <extent, in addition to which, the railway will become the recipient of much of the northern traffic, arising from the numerous branches with which it ;is 'connected, and inusi. also become the Grand Trunk Line to London fi•om the Western parts of Yorkshire.

The London Joint-Stock Banking Company The Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Bar; king Company Handley and Co., Bankers, Newark, This important line of railway, coinmancing at the port of Gains ' tx , rough, islntended to pass along the Trent flat by Sturton-le-Steeple, North Leverton, South Levcrton, treswcll, liampton, Lancham, Dunham, lingual, Fleetborough.'Slaruham, Normanton, Grassthorpe, Sutton-upon-'Trent, Carlton, Cromwell, Norwell, Bathley, North ' Muskham, Little Carlton, lielltain, Newark, and thence to Notting ham, by the existing Midlands branch, making the total distance to Nottingham thirty-nine miles; tb as effecting, by twenty-four miles of new railway, a direct line front Gainsborough to Nottingham, which will connect Derby, Birmingham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the west of England generally, with Goole, Hull, and Great Grimsby. The object of the promoters of this railway is to afford to existing interests an opportunity of uniting to secure the immense traffic which exists along this line in Its original and legitimate course, via Newark upon-Trent t• Nottingham. They propose no unfair inter ference with the rights and properties of vested companies, but, by cutting off the angles and curves of the river, render the route the most direct, economical, and speedy of any railway that can be made. Should the Act for the London and York line be obtained, this Company will avail itself of their line for the first eight miles out of Newark, leaving only about fifteen miles of new railway to ►e made to complete this important line of communication; but if the London and York Company fail in obtaining their Act, this Com pany will have s .111cient funds, and be prepared to complete the en tire line from Gainsborough to Newark. It is flat, and free from any engineering difficulty or obstruction ; and it avoids any bridge over the Trent, which would alone absorb an amount equal to one-half of the capital required to complete the present undertaking. There are no tunnels or expensive cuttings necessary; nor dyes it interfere wilt any residential property ; and the expense of formation will be much below the average cost, as compared with other lines. The estimate of cost, which has been formed on the most liberal scale. to include the purchase of property, and all other expenses, will not exceed 300,0001. All necessary preparat!ons • are made, and the plans, &c., will be duly deposited, in compliance vi ith the standing orders of bath Houses of Parliament, in order that the promoters may bring their under taking before the ensuing Parliament. Application will be made in the Bill to allow G. per cent. per annum interest on the deposits and calls until the completion of the line. Prospectuses may be obtained, and applications for shares maoae, to G. P. Hill, Esq., and J. T.

Assuming the northern terminus of the Erewash Railway as its origin, this line will pass through localities totally un provided with railway accommodation, into the populous ma nufacturing districts of Lancashire. It will continue the important line from which it borrows the prefix of its name, from Aifreton, in Derbyshire, where it will be a recipient of - traffic from the Cromford Canal —communicating with the Codnor ironworks —along the Dinting Vale, and, obeying the course of the river Dement, enter Yorkshire, in the vicinity of Saddleworth. In its course, it will pass through or near to Matlock, Ashbourne, Glos sop, Mottram, Hyrield, and Duckenlield, in reaching which point, the Manchester and Sheffield Railway will be intersected, and the Hud dersfield Canal Railway passed, near to the Rochdale station of the Manchester and Leeds Railway. It is unnecessary to state here the charact& of the country from Rochdale to Blackburn : it will be sufficient to observe, that it is the seat of those manufactures to which England owes her accumulating wealth. The line will proceed thence through or near to Whitworth and itossendale, and fall into the East Lancashire Railway, in the vicinity of Haslingdcn. A branch will be thrown eat of the trunk line, from the Junction with the East Lancashire line near Haslingden, by Low-Moor iron works and Bacup, to Todmorden. The Erewash Extension will be the only direct route from the centre of Derbyshire to the great manufacturing towns and chief seaports of Lancashire. It will traverse a valley district adorned with the most picturesque scenery, and, at the same time, rich in mineral produce. It will commanieat?. laterally, with several trunk lines of railway. and will be fed by no less than five worki►g canals— the Cromford—the Manchester and Sheffield—the Huddersfleld , --the Manchester and Leeds—end the Liverpool and Blackburn. To the multiplication of advantages which intersecting railways and lines of still-water navigation are compelled to afford, the throw ing out of branches from the line itself In so many directions will add still further powers of accommodation, and, when the dense popula tion in the localities traversed is considered, there is every reason to conclude that an ample remuneration for vested capital will be ob tained.

It will then proceed, also, in a direct course to the market towns of Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln. The country lying between the towns of 'Northampton and Gran tham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo dation, not only to the south, but also to the north. At Lincoln the line will fork, and proceed on the one hand in a northerly direction to the flourishing port of Gainsborough, and on the other by a north-eastern course to the market town of Market Raiser', on the rising port of Great Grimsby. By an union with the Sheffield and Great tlrimsby Junction Rail way at Market Raisen, a d rect and uninterrupted chain of commu nication will be established between all the abo ve - mentioned districts and the town and port of Hull. The sources of traffic which this line will s ecure are various and very considerable ; som e of them only can be here enumerated, viz.:— by the line win Starting from Great Grims b y appropriate to itself the whole of the traffic thence to the metropolis, and also the southern and western districts of the country, and, in addit on, it will secure the important and increasing local traffic between that town and Market Raisen and Lincoln. From Gainsborough, the termini of several ralways from the north and north-west, this line will carry the traffic to Lincoln, its county town. The traffic from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, will enter upon this line at Market Raisen, and proceed thereon to Lincoln. From Lincoln the whole of the traffic passing to the west and the intermediate towns must pass over this line. In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not obtaining their Bill, then the traffic from Lincoln to the south and west, and also the metropolis, will pass along this line of railway ; The landowners on the line are favourable to the mideriaking.

LOCAL AGENT—William Hirst, Esq., Boroughbridge, This railway is intended to commence at or near to the Alne sta tion on the Great North of England Railway, to proceed by way of Aldborough, Boroughbridge, and Dishforth, and to terminate at the Leeds and Think Railway near to Wath, at a junction with, and so as to form an eastern continuation of, the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union Railway. The length of the line will be about thirteen miles, and, in forming it, three objecrs are in view : Ist. To accommodate Boroughbridge, and a great extent of highly fertile and productive country hitherto entirely devoid of railway communication. 23. To form a connecting link between the Great North of Eng land Railway, and the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union Railway, and thereby connect with this project part of the trunk lines from Hull, Selby, York, Beverley, Marketweighton, Poeklington, Scarborough, Whitby, Pickering, 3falton, &c., and the eastern districts to Carlisle, and the west of Scotland by the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union, which passes through Bedale, Leyburn, Askrigg, Hawes, Kirkby, Stephen Appleby, and forming a junction with the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway near Penrith. 3d. To supply the district in question with coal from the pits in the neighbourhood of Leeds, and from those of Durham by means of the Leeds and Thirsk Railway and its extension. To afford accommoda tion to the town of Boroughbridge and its locality by connecting it with Carlisle, Durham. Hull, Ripon, York, Scarborough, &c., which this project will do to a much greater extent than would have been afforded by the Pill Moor branch of last session, from the Great North of England Railway , to Boroughbridge, inasmuch as this line will give an outlet in both a northern and eastern direction, whilst that of last session would have afforded merely a northern one. The country is level, requiring no tunnel, and very little cutting or embanking, and the line will consequently be of easy construction. The cost will be comparatively light, and all residential annoyance or injury to property will be avoided. Tile saving of distance by this scheme will, on reference to the map, be seen to be very considerable, especially with regard to rail way communication between the cities of Ripon and York, Wath being only four miles north-east of Ripon ; and this line, in con nexion with the Leeds and Thirsk Railway (which runs through that city), forming a continuous, as well as the shortest and best, line of railway between Ripon and York. In the allotment of shares preference will be given to landowners and others locally interested on the line. Applications for shares (accompanied by a respectable reference) to be made to the solicitor or agents in the annexed form:— FORM OF APPLICATION. To the Provisional Committee of the Great North of England and - Yorkshire and Glasgow Union Junction Railway Company. Gentlemen,—l request you will allot me shares of 251. each in the above railway; and I undertake accept ti I same, or such less number as you may appropriate t t o o ine and agree to pay the deposit thereon, and to sign the Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement when required.
