The fuer ortance or connecting remote parts of E .gland by Rail ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns and districts, can scarcely he beater exemplified than by the Line which is tow proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines now before the Mac will make Oxford at the north, and Sali,bury at the south of the intended Railroad the central points from which various radii will diverge to the northwest, north, and north-east-of the former, and to the east, south', and west of the latter; and the proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxrord, continuing to that city the co , :rse of Railway front the north-eastern parts of the island, requires the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to the western and south-western counties. The Oxford and `alishury Direct Railway, in addition to the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at large, by preferring a direct line of common - cation be tween the north-eastern and western and south-western parts of England; will afford to the boroush of Abingdon, the market towns of Wantage, ITtingerford, and Ltelgershall, and the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts In which they arc 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 has long been felt to press unfairly upon the inkabitants of the important and thriving town of Abingdon. Their means and opportnnities of competing witk the more fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di rect channels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same remark applies in some degree to the market town of Wantage, which, as well as llmigerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced by railway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commmee the proposedil ne at Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingd: - n a direct rail road to London. By continuing the project Al railway to Wantage, the same facility of transit to London will be afforded to that place ; and a perfect line of road from the north-eastern counties will, by a june flan with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be prosinced, through the towns which have been named, Ifungenorcl and Ludgers hall to Salisbury, and thence to tke south and western ports and dis tricts. A mapof the line, . and A •otattstical retort of the whole country totlended to he tr.:v,rscd, ZA)iilie of preparatibn, and T. hit the names of an infinential provisional Cointnittee, will very shortly be published.

Rica and Thomas Hopkins, M.1.C.E.; and John Belcher, Esq. SECRETARY. This Company is formed for making 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 Derby. The whole length of the proposed line will be about sixty-six miles. 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 or communication beta een 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 ISB miles, whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and by the Trent Valley Railway 20014 miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles in one instance, and 12 1 /, miles in the other. And as regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole distance between Liverpool and Derby will be reduced by this line to about 74 miles, thus decreasing the distance by any present existing railway, at least 46 miles; an advantage which carries in itself the conviction of the necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to eonnect more immediately two such important towns, especially when these towns are but the foci, as it were, for other railways from still more distant localities, 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% making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only 5634 miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communi cation between those important towns by about 28 miles, an object most desirable to he 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 out 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 London. The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of junc tion with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 47% 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 188% miles, instead of 210, by the present route. With regard to the traffic and other details connected with the working of the line, it seems only necessary, to revert to the great importance of the towns proposed to be brought into communication with each other, in order to convince the minds of all that the source of revenue thus derived will be immense. _ _ There are no engineering dillictilties connected with the forming of the line. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now paid until the Act of Parliament is obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent Interest on all calls. Applications for detailed prospectuses, maps, and shares, may be made to the Secretary, at the offices, 28, Moorgate-street, London ; at Mr. Bethel's Offices, 78, King William street, City, London ; and at 22, Cross-street, Manchester, and the following Sharebrokers:—Messrs.

This line will diverge fromthe line of the Great Eastern and Western Railway, near Worcester, and proceeding by Brom yard, will end at Leominster, at which point it will unite with the proposed lines connecting Hereford and Shrewsbury with North Wales. Tho communication by railway between these important towns and the continuous hop and cider districts has been entirely left unprovided for by existing arrangements, and this line is brought forward under the auspices of the Great Easterm and Western Railway Company, on the strong representations and request of a large and most influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh boushood. The object proposed is to make a direct communication between Leominster, Bromyard, and Worcester, which latter town has always been the natural market for the produce of these distriets, and to af ford the inhabitants the most direct communication with London,,as compared with other lines, by upwards of 30 miles. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the act is ob tained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 41. per cent. on all calls from the time of their respective payments, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscrip tions. _ .

Bill combe, and Co., 16, Parliament-street The national object of this undertaking is to create a direct and united communication between the eastern and western parts of the kingdom. On reference to a railway map of England, it will at once be seen that Stafford and Crewe, on the Grand Junction and Derby, and Belper, on the Midland Railway, are the centres to which a great number of lines of railway, either already constructed or projected, converge ; and between these four points no railway exists. The West Midland Railway proposes to unite these points in the following way :—By commencing one of its arms at Crewe station, on the Grand Junction Railway, which will run through or near Newcastle-under-Lyne, Bursham, Stoke-epon-Trent, Lane End, and Cheadle, to Uttoxeter, where its other arm from Stafford will meet it and proceed thence, by Ashbourne to a point near the Belper station on the Midland Railway, where it will take advantage of the pro posed Derby and Gainsborough, Nottingham and Mansfield, and Boston, Newark, and Sheffield Railways ; thus opening a direct eom munication between Holyhead and other parts of North Wales, Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire,!en the one head, and Sheffield, Retford, Mansfield, Nottingham, Newark, Norwich, and the ports of Gainsborough, Grimsby, Boston, Spalding, Lynn and Yarmouth, on the other. This line will accommodate a very considerable portion of the traffic proceeding from the west coast of Scotland, Cumberland, and Lanca shire, into Lincolnshire and the south-eastern parts of the kingdom, and by that portion of the line which is proposed to ran between Belper and Stafford, and the whole of the traffic from the east coast of Scotland, Northumberland, Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, and other populous northern counties Passing to the west and south west, together with the opulent mineral districts of South Wales, will be effectually served. _ _ ly e enumeration-P°Pulatedanodf th ng s ae s t o hi ne s l o li f ie vne W t ill im d po o, rt th an ro n u e g . h T a he de m ns er e ax elnsive manufacturing district, it must be viewed, even in its local towns affected by it would suffice to show that the traffic over it will be immense ; but, in addition to this, when credit is taken for the thorough traffic passing diagonally over the line from south-east to north-west, and from north-east to Routh-west, as well u for the corn and other agricultural produce from the eastern counties to the manufacturing districts ; and a return carriage of manufactured goods, slates from North Wales, salt trent Cheshire, earthenware from Staffordshire, and iron from Shropshire, for the consumption of the midland counties as well as for export from the eastern ports of Hull, Grimsby, Boston, Spalding, &c., some adequate idea lay be formed of the advantages whieh the comple ion of this comprehensive scheme will naturally develop, An these objects have been deeply and seriously considered, and deemed of such para mount importance to lcslal interests, that the fullest and most in fluential support and co-operation have been obtained to effe ctually carry out and insure the various objects of this undertakin g. Surveys of the district have been made with much care, and the result is highly favourable in an engineering point of view. The Committee in the allotment of shares will ei v-va a Preference to parties locally interested, and in all cases satisfactory re f erence will be required to some person of known respectability. Power will be taken in the act to allow interest, at the character, assi rate of 41. per cent. per annum, on the deposits, as well as on all inture calls, from the date of each payment, till the opening of the whole line, or until a dividend be declared ; a nd the liability of subs cribers will ' be limited by the Act of Parliament to the amount of their respective shares.

The Rugby, Derby, end 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 Macclesfield, and along the Mae clestield and Stockport, and Stockport and Manchester Railways, into Manchester. A brai.2ll 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 amount of new railway, and, consequently, 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 North Midland Railway is made. --- The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, in connexion with the Oxford and Rugby, and Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Rail way, forms a direct Manchester and Southampton line. • THE GREAT ADVANTAGES Of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, over the other pro jects into Manchester, among others, are— First. That there are only seventy-five miles of railway to he made in place of one hundred and eighty-nine. Second. That it is a more direct line from London to Manchester than even the proposed direct lines. Third. That it interferes with no existing railway property or vested 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 ten months from 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 o ffi ces, on the 1 0 th of November next, being twenty days within the time required by the regulations of Parliament. In the allotment of shares a preference will be 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 object of this line Is to make a short and direct communication between the populous manufacturing and iron and coal districts of Bradforl, Cleckheaton, Heckmoudwike, Batley, Dewsbury, Barns ley, and Sheffield, with the wool and agricultural districts of Lei cestershire, Derbyshire, Doncaster, Galasborough, Lincoln, &c., and the port of Boston. The line will form a junction with the West Yorkshire, the Leeds and Dewsbury, and the Manchester and Leeds Railways, at or near Dewsbury; and thence proceed by Darton to Barnsley, and Wombwell, to or near to Wath-upon-Dearne, near Swinton ; where it will join the North Midland Railway, and also meet the proposed line to Doncaster, Bawtry, Gainsborough, and Lincoln ; and form a communication by the existing lines with the port of Boston and the south ; and by the projected Hull and Barnsley Junction Railway ; it will also form a direct line to Hull, and by the Leeds and Thirsk Railway, a direct line to the nortk. The line will also be continued from Barnsley by Tankersley and Chapeltown to Sheffield. A branch will run to the 'various Ironworks and Colliery Rail ways, near Wentworth ; and another branch will run to the Silk stone Colliery Railways. - A direct line of communication will thus be formed between the important manufacturing places of Bradford, Bierley, Cleckheaton, Goinersall, Heckmondwike, Liversedge, Batley, Dewsbury, Ossett, Thornhill, Darton, Barnsley, Ardsley, and Wombwell, to Wath upon-Dearne, Doncaster, Lincolnshire, the port of Boston, and the south, and also to Sheffield; affording the best possible accommoda tion to the rich iron and coal districts of Silkstone, Worsborough, Tankersley, Chapeltown, and Sheffield ; whilst the wools and raw materials used in the manufactures at Bradford, Pudsey, Earlsheaton, •leckheaton, Batley, Heckmondwike, Dewsbury, and Barnsley, as well as corn and cattle, will be received by the shortest and most di rect line of transit from Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, and the southern parts which supply these commodities, in exchange for the manufactures, coals, and minerals of those districts. It must be evident to every one, on looking at the map, that this line is imperatively called for, as up to this period the only rail way communication for the supply of wool and other goods, and the conveyance of passengers to Dewsbury, Heckmondwike, Batley, Cleckheaton, Bradford, and the intermediate places (each containing a numerous manufacturing population), has been the North Midland line by Normanton—a very circuitous route, as appears by the fol lowing statement of distances of those places : Relative distances from Bradford and Dewsbury to Barnsley and Sheffield, by the present route, and the proposed line : 3diles.

From Dewsbury by the present route Sheffield is distant 40 miles ; by the proposed line it will be 21,—0r a saving of 19 miles. The same observations, as to saving of distance, apply to London and all intermediate places ; and it is important to observe that either by the present North Midland line, or by the projected London and York Railway, this proposed line will be the shortest and most direct route from Bradford, Dewsbury, &c., to London. It may also be noticed, that from Swinton to Leeds by this project and the Leeds and Dewsbury line, the distance is much less than by way of Norrnanton. The following table, taken from the Parliamentary Census of 1841, will give some idea of the populous Districts through which the line passes : POPULATION OF PLACE! (IN 1841), ON THE LINE OF IOAD.

A careful survey of the line and branches has been made by the engineer, and the scheme will be submitted to Parliament at the ap proaching cession. Power is reserved to continue the line northward to Bradford, If the Company should think fit.

SECRETARY—Mr. John C. Sommers. • In submitting this midertaking — to the public, the promoters are influenced no less by a conviction of its importance as a direct con necting line between the important towns of Chichester and Ports mouth and the metropolis, than by its grand national importance in affording a direct communication between the two great military and naval arsenals of Great B 'taw—Portsmouth and Chatham. The projected undertaking, by prOCeeding to the two termini at Chichester and Portsmouth, will extend the facilities of communica tion with the coast branches of railways along the south of England. connecting itself with Brighton to the eastward, and Southampton towards the west. By the main line failing into the Brighton Rail way the advantage of two termini in London will be secured—the one at the Bricklayers' Arms, and the other at London-bridge—the latter of which, from its proximity to the Custom House, and the several docks on the Thames, Is acknowledged to be tke best position for a London terminus for merchandise of all descriptions. The line of railway intended to be constructed by:this Company will commence at or near the Redhill station near Reigate, on the Lou don and Brighton Railway, a distance of 21 miles from London• bridge. lii - its course to Portsmouth it will pass through or near Reigate, Newdigate, Cupel, Ockley, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranley, Alfold, Billinghurst, Wisborough-green, Plaistow, Haslemere, Chiddingiold, North Chapel, Kidford, Petforth, Midhurst, Chulgrove, Stoughton Racton, Westbourne, and Emsworth;at or near which last-mentioned place this projected lk e will join the Chich ster and Portsmouth Rail way to Portsmouth. A branch is proposed to be made from Dorking to join the main line at or near Capel. By this course the entire distance to travel between London and Portsmouth will be abridged to 73 miles, a distance considerably shorter than that by which any line hitherto projected between London and Portsmouth has proposed to pass, and also pursuing a route more populous and productive than any hitherto presented to public notice. It will involve the construction of only 45 miles of railway to complete the course between the Redhill station (near Reigate) and Emsworth. From London to Reigate by the London and Brighton Railroad is The junction to be made bythis Company is •••••• • • • • • • 48 „ From the point near Emsworth to Portsmouth by the Chichester and Portsmouth Railway is .• • • • • ....... • 7 „ Total distance from London to Portsmouth ••••• • • ~ 73 miles. From Chilgrove a line of seven miles will be constructed, and which will place Chichester in direct communication with London. The distance between Chichester and London by this route will be 62 miles, and trains will run direct between London and Chichester. Inasmuch as the existing line of railway to Dover branches off from the London and Brighton Railroad at Reigate, this projected line will open up a communication by railroad between Portsmouth and Dover. From an inspection of the map, it will be seen that the Redhill station, near Reigate, lies nearly in a direct line between Ports mouth and Chatham, and in pureeing the line of communication to the last-mentioned naval and military depot, this Una will pass through or near the toffs of Bletchingley, Godston, Limpsfield, Westerham, Seven Oaks, Ightham, Town Mailing, Wrothan2, Off ham, Snodland, Lower Hailing, and Woodham. making g di o s f ta 3 n l ce m b ll e es twec of n ra C ilr h o a ad tha , m and an t d he ß l e i i n g e at o e f r wi ai l ke l in ed vo he lve twe tl e r n e Portsmouth and Chatham will extend over 82 miles.
