The intention of this Company is, in the first instance, to construct a line of railway from Calcutta to Diamond Harbour, with ware houses and buildings there, and docks, as soon as deemed desirable ; and to continue the railway to George's Point at a future period. The length of the main line is about twenty-four unties, and the branch about ten miles. The project of making a harbour and railway, to escape the dan gerous and tedious navigation to and faun Calcutta, is neither new nor uncalled for. The attention of many eminent authorities has been directed to it, who have severally ,pronounced it necessary, practicable, and likely to be most profitable. And Lord .Auckland, while Governor General of India, was so satisfied of the expediency, or rather, the necessity of such an undertaking as to promise a grant of the land necessary for the works, and to give the sanction of his name and authority. Great as arc the present difficulties and dangers of the existing na vigation, there is no security that at some period or other the channel may not be totally obstructed and rendered impassable for vessels of any considerable burden, by reason of the shifting and accumulation of sands from powerful inundations and freshes caused or aided by the south-west monsoons. This statement is borne out by eminent marine surveyors, among whom the name of Captain Horsburgh stands distinguished ; with C. B. Greenlaw, Esq., formerly Secretary to the Marine Board, and Captain Lloyd, Marine Surveyor-General. Recent overland dispatches from India declare that the Govern ment, the European, and the great native merchants, are most anxious that railways should be established in India. The railway now proposed ought to be the first to be so established, inasmuch as it has already been surveyed and reported upon by Major Boileau, and several officers of the Bengal Engineers ; that it is very short compared with other projected lines, as being almost necessary to any railway that way be constructed in the Presidency of Bengal; and as the whole of the most valuable imports and ex ports of this portion of British India must pass along the line, both fur shipment and internal consumption. The country through which the railway will pass is entirely a dead level; and the soil for the most part consists of a hard stiff clay, very excellent for the ma nufacture of bricks, and the construction of docks. It is estimated that (according to " Wilkinson's Oriental Com merce") at the least 3,500 British and foreign vessels will enter the harbour at different periods of the year ; that the passenger traffic, with the carriage of goods, harbour dues, &c., will average 273,01'0/. a year; and, in addition, both the shipowner and merchant will de rive considerable pecuniary advantages. It may be well to enumerate a few of the many important advan tages the formation of tills railway will afford to merchants, ship owners, and commanders of Indiamen. At present the pilotage for a vessel from the Sand-heads to Calcutta (taking the average draft of water of each ship at eighteen feet) is about 50/., including, lead-money, row-boats, &c. ; by shortening the distance, the pilotage will be reduced in proportion. The fact that ships, daring a period of seven months of the year, viz., from the beginning of April to the end of October, not being able to lie at their own anchors on account of the violence of the freshes and the south-west monsoons, are obliged, in consequence of their insurance, to lie at the Honourable East India Company's floor ing buoys, at an expense varying from thirty shillings to two pounds per day, and that each ship on the average lies four months at the moorings at the rate of 32/. per meus., a saving will be effected of 1281. on each vessel. A vessel, under existing circumstances, takes at the least two months in discharging and taking in her cargo, whereas the same work will be accomplished with the greatest facility In one month, or even less, by the carrying out of the railway and proposed under taking, saving the great wear and tear (no inconsiderable item), in. surance, interest, provisions, and seamen's pay, for an entire month at the least. During the prevalence of the freshes and south-west monsoons, vessels have lost, it is well known, from one to four anchors each, with part of their cables, &c.; and in a country where marine stores are enormously high, the replacing of such necessary and valuable articles amounts to a very considerable suns ; by the formation of ti e proposed railway and docks this item of loss will be avoided. Desertion by the seamen will be averted, which has increased to an almost incredible extent of late years, owing to the demand fur European sailors for the country trade, and the high wages affertd *em. The safety of the vessels will be secured, 'and the constant loss front the freshes, and plunder by the native crews of the valuable cargoes of the sloops, blurs, and other river craft, from which vessels are loaded, will be averted ultimately; a saving which cannot be toc, highly appreciated by shipowners and merchants. By ships lying at Diamond harbour, the extra expense of steam tugs will be avoided, averaging for the passage, to Calcutta and back, three days' hire at the present reduced rate of 301. per day; and all ship passengers will be saved a long and tedious river jour ney, both ways, with the advantage of being enabled to join their respective vessels at the latest moment. The promoters have memorialised the Court of Directors of the East India Company on the subject of this undertaking, and have received a satisfactory reply from the Secretary, J. C. Melvill, Esq. It must be borne in mind that this line does not stand in the same position (with regard to the necessity for a report of the engineer sent out by the: East India Company to investigate the subject), as lines of railway in the interior of India of great extent, and in volving the outlay of large sums of money, through tracts of country at times impassable. It is an essentially commercial enterprise- - short, easy of execution, and, above all, providing a remedy far the difficult and dangerous navigation of the Hoogly, about which there cannot be two opinions. The Company will be managed by a Board of Directors in London, assisted by a Board of Direction in Calcutta ; and arrangements will be immediately made to send out competent persons to promote the interests of the Company. It is estimated that not more than one-half of the proposed capital will be required until it is determined to construct the proposed docks ; and calls will be made from time to time as the work progresses. The dividends will be paid in London and Calcutta, at the current rate of exchange. A subscription contract will be prepared, to be executed by the shareholders, and application will be made for a charter of incorpo ration, or Act of Parliament.

PROSPECTUS. Commencing at Cambridge, which has now become the• traftle centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to be formed by that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there passing near Olney it will cross at or near the Blisworth Station of the London and Birmingham Railway, where It will communicate with the Northampton and Peterborough line; it will then proceed west ward, crossing the Oxford and Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compton to Stratford-on-Avon, there joining the proposed line from Warwick and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of England; continuing its course through Aleester, the line will go di rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic fur the mineral and manufacturing districts of South Staffordshire, Shropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed line does not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does, an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance of the undertaking needs no further comment. Negotiations have been entered into with the Eastern Coun ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed. • An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al cester, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro ceed to Worcester. ti . Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.

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 place so ad vantageously situate cannot be over-estimated. Leiceler has, or shortly will have, direct communication 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 Folkingham, will supply the only link wanting to complete a direct through comthuni cation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worcester, Coventry, and the manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as by means of existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Channel, to that seaport. The length of the proposed line will not 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 can not fail, it is confidently expected, to command a large return, both in passengers and in goads traffic. The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary plans and sections in ample time for complying with the standing orders, and enabling them to apply for their Act in the ensuing session.

This railway will commence at the Univemity town of Cambridge t and proceed from thence to Coldwater, passing through or near tha t towns of Linton, Haverhill, Great Yeldham, Ileclingham, and stead, proceeding by Thorp and Weeley to Walton-on-the-a , : j l On retiarenee to the map, it wid be seen that this line will pass through a part of the country at present unpreAdded 'with railway accommodation, and bring the town of Call - dotage ir. l c l ose connex i on with Colchester, and the fast improving reasr:rt town of Harwich, and by means of the railways ti lrealyf n- coed and proposed to be formed, will open a ccuunsunication Yorkshire and alt parts of the north, with Leicester, Nottih am, Derby, Manchester, Liver poouand other large mantacturlng towns, and the rich mineral districts of Staffordshlre, the important tow.is of Birmingham and Worcester, north and south Wales, and by the Northampton, Ban bury and Cheltenham Railway, with all parts of the west of England, as well as opening a direct communication to the important seaport towns on the eastern coast. A considerable Parliamentary grant having been made to improve the harbour of Harwich, a Company has, been formed to make large and commodious docks at that pl ace, and from the fact of Harwich being directly opposite the ports of Holland (thus bringing it in commUnioation with the railways In Germany) there is no doubt bUt that Harwich will become a first-rate sea-fort town for exten sive commercial and passenger traffic, and will be a powerful feeder to this line. The town of Colchester is also a sea-port, from which coals and goods in large quantities are supplied to Halstead and the adjacent uvillages, and goods, flour, malt, &c., in large quantitiess t ownsas hippede and upp led from the district through which this line is proposed to pass) to London and other pl a ce s . Therefore this line will open a communic a tio n m uc h nee d e d, a n d there 041inat be any doubt but th a t the undertaking is one of great importance, as affording railway accommodation to a large and po pulous district of country through which it will pass, and that it will pay a good rate of interest on the capital invested From Colchester the line will proceed to the fast-improving and much admired watering.place, Walton-on. the-Naze, passing through Thorp and Wesley, and thereby affording railway accommodation from the Midland Counties to that place of summer resort for sea bathing. rower will be applied for to allow 41, per cent. on deposits an all calls until the line is opened. l " Prospectuses awl plans forthwlgt issued, and,_ in the meantime applications for Shares may be , mtiaereittle solicitors, George Weller, Esq.

It will administer largely to the prosperity of this rich and productive country, and will pass from Tiverton, by Bainp ton, Dulverton, and Dunster, to the port of Minehead in the Bristol Channel, opposite Landaff, Swansea, and Cardiff, from whence the produce of the rich mines and quarries of Merthyr Tydvil, Ponty pool, and Newport, in Wales, can be transferred by the shortest route to the English markets. From Diinehead it will pass by Porlock and Comhe-3larten to the much-frequented watering-place of Ilfracombe, where it unites with the Barnstaple and Ilfracombe Railway. At Minehead it will also join the Bridgewater and Mine head Railway, to which it will serve as an important feeder, connect- ing the towns on the north coast of Devon directly with the great western trunk railroads passing from London to the Land's End.

This undertaking is designed to supply the wants of an extensive mineral and populous district, the local traffic of which alone is ad mitted to be sufficient to support a railway and amply remunerate the shareholders ; the line will not only accomplish so desirable an ob ject, but it also possesses the advantage of forming a direct commu nication, by the shortest practicable route, (in connexion with exist ing and projected railways) between two of the most important divisions of the kingdom. It is intended to commence by joining the Grand Junction Railway at Stafford, and proceed by Uttoxeter, Rocester and Ashbourne, to a junction with the Midland Railway, the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Railway, and the Amber Gate, Nottingham, Boston, and Eastern Junction Railway, at the general terminus at Amber Gate ; a short branch from Wirks worth will connect the line with that town, and the important lime stone and mineral district connected with it. The line will be about forty miles long, and by its connection with the Midland Railway at Amber Gate, and the Derby and Crewe Railway at Uttoxeter, will be the nearest practicable route from Sheffield, York, Leeds, Hull, the populous mannfacturing districts of Yorkshire and the north and north-eastern parts of England, to the salt districts of Cheshire, the Potteries, Liverpool and North Wales, and by its junction at Stafford with the Shropshire Union Railway, will be the nearest route from those important districts to Shrewsbury and South Wales, and by the Grand Junction Railway to the densely populated districts of South Staffordshire. The district is destitute of water communication, and it is only necessary to advert to a few of the prominent resources of the coun try to shew the magnitude of the local traffic. The price of coals on all parts of the line is very high, being carted a distance of 10 to 15 miles. The cost of this indispensible article of consumption will be reduced nearly one half, as this line will imme diatel3 communicate with the Derbyshire and Staffordshire coal fields. The line will pass several valuable quarries of Derbyshire marble which is extensively used in all parts of the kingdom, and also nu merous lead smelting works and rolling mills, producing large quantities of pig and sheet lead. It will afford an inexhaustible supply of lime for the highly cultivated land on the banks of the Dove and Southward. It will open the Derbyshire mines to the copper and zinc smelting works in the neighbourhood of Cheadle, and will afford a direct communication with Sheffield for the articles manufactured at those works, which at present are carted to Derby, a distance of more than twenty mike. Already a large cattle traffic exists with the north, which will unques , tionably be greatly augmented by the facilities of this railway ; large importa o t n io t t h ts e o l f . S . c d ot a c i h it p an as d tu l r r e ci s rk o s f h t ic i e e cpaottvlee, taking l3 in return brought for t o fat teningth the consuming districts, the corn, cheese, wool, and other produce of the extensive and fertile agricultural district which is intersected by this Irailway. It will bring the already large 'cheese and cattle fairs of Uttoxeter and Ashbourne into greater importance. The iron furnaces of South Staffordshire consume annually nearly a million tons of limestone. It is well known that the ironmasters give a decided preference to the limestone of the South Peak, over any other that has hitherto been tried ; the very great thsibility of this stone rendering it peculiarly suitable as a flux for reducing the stubborn iron ores of South Staffordshire, and were it not for the di latory and expensive means of transit, it would now be used to the ne iin most m esoutherndla techieflytoilaysnwowenet aaxltlynthrice communicate, open mp t en t e o y umas :o nei hfeaai itnensarhadancet ehudt romantic gsh rails, nieti Manchester, dradt Pnvin enha Buxton,afisnoi total exclusion of all other kinds.

The projectors feel convinced that this railway contains the ele ments of great prosperity, and that as an investment it offers more 1 , than ordinary security. The landowners on the line are favourable to this undertaking, and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the Provisional Committee. Arrangements have' been made with the Derby and Crewe Rail way Company, who take a portion of the capital, and give the line their support and co-operation. The Committee of Management are fortunate in having secured the valuable s rvices of Mr. Locke, as consulting engineer, and of Mr. Meeke, as resident engineer, who have assured the Committee that the plans and surveyc will be ready for application to Parlia ment the next session.

This line is designed to open a direct communication between the :owns of Birmingham and Boston. The advantages to be derived by a rich, progressing, and populene .:own, such as Birmingham, the great manufacturing centre of the kingdom, having a direct communication with a port on the eastern coast facing the Continent, and that port the nearest to it by geo graphical position, need but to be mentioned to be appreciated. The name of Birmingham speaks for itself; the capacity and value of Boston as a commercial port is daily increasing, and re quires but little enterprise to enable it to compete with some of our best ports. It is proposed that this line should commence at Leicester, where it will form a continuation of the direct line from Birmingham to that town, and proceeding by or near Melton Mowbray, Corby, Folkenham, and Donnington, terminate at Boston ; thus affording a direct communication between Birmingham and its important manu facturing districts—Rugby, the gre at centre of England, and Boston, their nearest seaport, which eventually must command the traffic of the districts with which it is in connexion and the opposite ports of the Continent. A glance at the map will show how this line is fed, and the towns in its neighbourhood supplied by railway accommodation by the in tersecting lines ; but in the event of the London and York line not obtaining its Act, it is proposed by this Company to construct a branch to Grantham. The country is easy, presenting few or no engineering difficulties. Another advantage held out by this project is the improvement of the harbour of Boston, whereby it will be restored to that eminent position it formerly held among the ports and harbours of the kingdom. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum after passing the Act, on the amount of the be be obtained answerable ,andl()r ulmorethen ntsluoi,brsb beyond theryipotniod it t amounthpea a midouf.p.h. his deposit 2s do ' fe o pho s i s u si subs s ut c ib r ns i t b ur e i r pt i s hi h oe a n, l t. l Applications for shares, in the usual form, and prospectuses, to be made to the solicitors of the Company, 7, Tokenhouse-yard, and 76, Cannon-street, City; at the offices of the Company, 26, Moorgate-street ; and to the following stock and sharcbrokers : Lond,m—Mr. Edward Newton Bryant, 16, Throgmorton-street ; Mr. William Rodwell, 22, Throgmorton-street; Mr. A.

The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail way Cotnpany have great satisfaction hi informing their subscribers that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional Commit tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of the Thames of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City traffic north of London. To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of groued (the southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of the Bank of England) has been most carefully surveyed and valued, and the re port of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as to have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved by them to in crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0001. The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and most complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway companies who may co-operate wills them, an object which will be effected by opening the very extensive and valuable space of ground alluded to, within the centre of the City of London. In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties Railway in Shoreditch, which will effect an entire junction between the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same time afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail ways, which reach London tethe north of the Thames, and give full development to each of their schemes by creating for them a common centre within the heart of the metropolis. Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic which the position of their City terminus will ensure to tills Com pany, will be added that of those companies also who will eventually co-opera' e with the North London Junction Railway Company, and the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very 'valuable line of railway. A. lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district through which this Company proposes to run this line; by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to .eeertain that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed its immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a fact ity of connexion with its suburban localities, necessarily affording it the 'greatest accommodation. With such important local resources, therefore, together with the vast traffic on which the shareholders of this Company have a right to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly anticipated, fully commensurate with the outlay of the proposed capital. That revenue will be derived thus : The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to 3,145, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirds of which reach the City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,400 persons daily, half of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City. Passengers from the suburban districts reachthe the City, now, un accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. From these sources the following products are derived: — Per Ann.

The capital, as now extended, will be divided into 65,000 shares of 201. each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share will be payable forthwith. A portion of the shares will be allotted to parties locally interested. The remainder will be distributed amongst the present shareholders and the public generally, upon application being made by them in a manner hereinafter mentioned. The Directors, in compliance with the advice of their Parlia mentary Agents, deem it expedient, in consequence of the recent standing orders of the House of Lords, to require a deposi of 101. per cent. The shareholders are, therefore, requested, in order to carry this arrangement -into effect, to deposit their scrip certificate with the Secretary, on or before the Ist of October next, in exchange for which they will obtain a certificate upon which the bankers of the Company will receive the amount of the difference payable, and, upon producing the receiptand signing the new Parliamentary Deeds, fresh scrip will be delivered to them.
