Williams and Urwick, Ludlow SECILETART—John Trevor, Esq. This Railway will commence at the important town of Wolver hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, Trysail and Cleverley, to the manufacturing town of Bridgnorth ; from thence it will continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to Ludlow, and there fall into other projected lines to all parts of Eng land, North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty two miles. It will afford direct communication between Ludlow, Bridgnorth and Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c.; and, by the South Staffordshire Junction Railway, give to those towns and districts the most direct route for passengers and goods to and from the Central, North Eastern ant Eastern parts of the Kingdom, and from which those towns have hitherto been excluded by every project of the day. It will convey to the agricultural districts of Herefordshire and South Shropshire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow, coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, add the Clee Hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those ne cessary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle, sheep, cider, wool, hops and other agricultural productions, as also timber from the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart of the mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fail to pro duce an immense traffic. To the towns embraced in this line, the value of obtaining thereby, at the cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will be of the ut most importance. One principal feature in this projection is, that as either Ludlow or Bridgnorth will lie in the direct route of one of the projects to be pro posed to Parliament in the next session, for the most direct commu nication between Ireland and the metropolis, this line will thereby , afford to passengers the easiest communication to and from the cen tral parts of the kingdom. It is satisfactory to the promoters to state that they have the sanc tion of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the Shrewsbury. Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire Junction, and the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no project has been announced in competition with its acknowledgedclaim on public support. The whole Ene is free from engineering difficulties, and can be constructed at a moderate cost, and has obtained the approval of the landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly pro tected. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the Company will be under the direction and control of the Committee of Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into such arrange ments as shall best serve the interests of this Company, and the public, with existing or projected Companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of the Company. Power will be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow four per cent. interest on the calls. Preference to the allotment of shares will be given to those locally interested, and to the shareholders of lines in connexion with this. No application for shares can in any case be attended to, unless reference be made to one of the Provisional Committee, the Solicitors, Bankers, or Brokers of the Company.

This railway will commence at Sheerness in conjunction with a short steam-ferry communication from a point at or near to South end, on the opposite Essex coast, and wi'l proceed from Sheerness by Queenborough to Faversham, where it will form a junction with one of the proposed tines front London by that town to Canterbury and Dover. The integral I:ne will bo continued from Faversham to or near to Herne Bay,; and from thence to the South-Eastern Extension Railway (now being made), at a point near Sarr, and will then pro ceed on that line direct to Ramsgate eastwards, and direct to Peal south-eastwards. From a point between Herne Bay and Sarr the line will also be carried by a short extens'ort to Margate. By this project Margate will ba placed within 75 miles of the me tropolis, instead Or more than 100, as at present, and that too by a direct line through Faversham, at which place it will meet the Lon don lines. The important town of Ramsgate, now so extensively connected with continental communication, will also be thus afforded a much nearer overland route to London. By means also of this undertaking, in conjunction with the exist ing and projected railways proceeding to the south coast of Essex, the whole of the passengers and traffic from the Northern, the-Mid- i nsh i nfl u i ptcz.g.m.Counties, will be conveyed to Dover and the cuitous route through the metroicoti"47lfl;kl,l)., lengthened and cir- shortened more than 50 miles, travelling expenses eiiTflilff...Will_be and the serious inconvenience and delay of transhipsment and con veyance from one part of London to another wholly avoided. A glance at the map also will show the immense advantage which the metropolis itself will enjoy by its being thus afforded other routes to Sheerness, Mar_ ate, Ramsgate, Deal, and Dover, and the greater part of Kent. Thousands of persons will proceed direct from the me tropolis to Margate and Ramsgate throughout, whilst a multitude of others will prefer landing at Sheerness and then proceed by this rail way, thereby shortening the j ,urney and avoiding the sea. The importance of a direct line from Sheerness to Dover as a national object, and the immense existing traffic in the direction of the undertaking, with the great increase which the improved and enlarged modes of a communication throughout Kent will occasion, must be too apparent to need further observation; and the Commit tee from careful inquiry feel confidence in stating that no scheme ot railway has yet been offered to public attention combining greater public and private advantages. About thirty-six miles of new railway only will embrace all the above important objects—viz., from Sheerness to Faversham about .• • ....... ••• • .. Faversham to Herne Bay ...................... 10 Thence to Sarr .... ........................... 5 The extension to Margate „ ...... „........... 9 The country has already been preliminatir surveyed, and found to 'be exceedingly favourable. Indeed, it is almost a dead flat from Faversham to Margate. The landed proprietors are not only willing but desirous that the undertaking should be accomplished, and it is at the request of many of them that the promoters have projected it. The Committee reserve the power of making branches to Canter bury and to Deal, if circumstances shoul I hereafter render it ad visable.

The main line of this railway will be about fifteen miles in length. Commencing at the Wortley Station, on the Sheffield and Manchester Railway, it will pass through the town of Silkston, and near to Dodworth, accommodating the whole of that valuable mining district with the most ready outlet for its celebrated coal to all parts of the kingdom. It proceeds by Darton, Chapelthorpe, and Sandal, to Wakefield, where it will join the Leeds and Man. chester, and the newly projected railways to Leeds and Harrogate, and to Pontefract and Goole. The inhabitants of Barnsley will also be accommodated by a branch to that town, from the main line, giving them direct and easy communication with the north and south. The distance from Leeds to Sheffield by this line, and its con nexions northwards, will be only thirty-two miles ; by the present route it is thirty-eight miles. The distance from Wakefield to Sheffield by this line will be only twenty-three miles ; it is now, by way of Normanton, thirty-one miles ; and by way of Oakenshaw, twenty-eight miles, between two and three of which are by omni bus. Besides this saving of actual distance, the tedious stoppages at Masborough and Normanton, the delays of which are often equal to twenty miles of travelling, will be avoided, A careful survey has been made, by an experienced surveyor, who reports that the line from Wakefield to Silkston will run with easy gradients nearly on the surface of the ground for the greater part of the way ; and that the only work of any mag nitude will be a tunnel, about six hundred yards long, at Woolley common, which will occasion in the approach to it from Wake field an ascending gradient of 1 in 108. The works between Silkston and Wortley are of a heavier character, but in no part will the gradient be more than 1 in 112. The ruling gradient will be about 1 in 180. This undertaking, in connexion with other railways, is in tended to accomplish the following very important objects :—First, a direct line of communication between London and Leeds, the Northern Counties and Scotland. Secondly, the opening of the extensive and valuable coalfields of Silkston, Dodworth, Barns. ley, and the adjacent districts, to the manufacturing and other towns of Yorkshire, the ports of Hell, Selby, Goole, Great Grimsby, and Boston, and also to the Metropolis, and the Mid land, and Western counties. Thirdly, the accommodation of the inhabitants of the places through which this railway will pass, with those facilities of conveyance for passengers, of which, from the almost entire absence of good roads, as well as railways, they have hitherto been destitute. An examination of the Map will show how well these objects will be attained by means of this railway. At its northern termi nus, Wakefield, it will be connected with the Leeds and Manches ter Railway, continued to the Midland and the linos extending from it to the north and cast, with the projected Wakefield and Ilarrogate and Wakefield and om Leeds lines (theand latter a bra it with of the Leeds and Dewsbury fr Churwell), through the Leeds and Thirsk, the Leeds and Bradford, and other railways, to the northwest and Scotland.

SECRETARY, pro tem—Jilin Devereux Pugh, Esq. This line is intended to be made (rum Wrexham, through Holt will be a weer CI - gnomon..6x - district of North Wales, and one of the most valuable mineral fields in the kingdom ; and Crewe and the manufacturing districts of Cheshire, Lancashire, Stafford shire, and Yorkshire, being a nearer route than any now existing or contemplated, by upwards of 12 miles. It is satisfac torily proved by the evidence of persons best qualified to give a correct opinion on the subject, that the district of Wrexham (even exclusive of what may be callel the Ruabon district) possesses in. exhaustible supplies of coal, ironstone, lime, and lead, of the best quality; the extent of the coal-field is about eight miles long by two broad, and the limestone is of much greater extent ; the ver tical section of coal presents 14 successive strata of coal, of which 10 are workable; these strata give 40 feet 6 inches of solid coal, supposing there to be 15 cwt. of coal to the cubic yard, and deduct ing one.tenth for old workings, and one.third for waste, faults, &c., there remains 18,517,920 tons of coal in a square mile.—(See Evidence given before Parliament on the North Wales Mineral Railway Bill.) The value of the ironstone in the whole area of 16 miles is esti mated at 35,400,994/. The importance of connecting this wealthy district with the towns before named is too obvious to require a moment's comment. By means of the cheap and expeditious transit provided by this line, the coke manufactured in the neighbourhood of Wrexham (which is proved to be superior to any other, see evi dence before mentioned) will be conveyed to Crewe, for the supply of the numerous railways centering at that place, at one-third the present price; the revenue to be derived from this source must be immense. The whole district through which this line will pass is now supplied with coal, coke, lime, and slates from the mines and quarries in the neighbourhood of Wrexham at a very high price,in consequence of the carriage being so expensive. The average prices (per ton) of coal, coke, and lime, at Nantwlch and Crewe, exclusive of carriage, are as follows : At Nantwich, Coal .. /1 Coke 10 Lime .. At Crewe, Coal Si Coke Lime This railway will afford the means of supplying coal, lime, and coke at one.third the above prices. Among the multifarious railway schemes now before the public, the most legitimate and also the most like'y to yield a fair remu nerative return on the outlay, arc the traverse railways projected with the object of supplying the existing want of railway transit across the country. The line will not interfere with any parks or property of an or namental character, and will be constructed at much less than the average cost. The Provisional Directors have no reason to expect any effectual opposition to a measure so obviously beneficial both to the public and the landed proprietors, and so powerfully supported by those best qualified to form an opinion of its merits. With respect to engineering, the line presents no difficulty whatever, the gradients are very easy, and the earth-work light. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow p e r annum, on the deposits as well a the date of the passing of the Act s upon interest, alltu a r t e 4 calls /. per from cent. until the opening of the railway, and no shareholder will be liable beyond the amount of his subscription. In the allotment of shares preference will be given, to a certain extent, to the proprietors of land through which the line will pass, and to shareholders in the Manchester and Birmingham, the Man chester and Birmingham Continuation, the North Wales Mineral, and the Staffordshire Potteries, Liverpool and . Manchester Direct Railways.

LOCAL AGENTS. Messrs. Rhoades and Greene, solicitors, Chichester Thomas Hart, Esq., solicitor, Reigate William Minchin, Esq., solicitor. Portsea and Portsmouth Thomas Hill, Esq., solicitor, Chatham Daniel Smart, Esq., solicitor, Emsworth Edwin Albery, Esq., solicitor, Midhurst Thomas Holmes Bosworth, Esq., solicitor, Westerham. SECRETARY—Mr. John C. Sommers. In submitting this undertaking 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 stain—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 falling 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 the 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 Lon don and Brighton Railway, a distance of 21 miles from London bridge. In its course to Portsmouth it will pass through or near Reigate, Newdigate, Cupel, Ockley, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Crawley, Alfold, Billinghurit, Wisborough-green, Plaistow, Haslemere, Chiddingfold, North Chapel, Kirdford, Petworth, Midhurst, Chilgrove, Stoughton, Racton, Westbourne, and Emsworth, at or near which last •mentioned place this projected li e will join the Chichester 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 pursuina a route more populous and productive than any hitherto presented to public Llotice. It will involve the construction of only 45 miles of railway tb complete the course between the Redhill station (near Reigate) and Emsworth.

This important line will commence at Brighton, and (passing through or contiguous to the towns of Steyning, Petworth, Mid hurst, Petersileld and Alresford) will join at the Andover Road sta tion of the South-Western Railway, the proposed Southampton Manchester and Oxford Junction. An arrangement has been entered into with the latter Company, and it is proposed by means of their projected line, that the Brighton and Cheltenham Railway shall proceed through Hunger ford to Swindon. From Petersfield a short branch will be made to Chichester where, nearly at the same point of junction, the London and Ports mouth direct will intenect the line in its way to Portsmouth. From Sw.ndon it is proposed to proceed by the Manchester and Southamptsm Railway to Chelt nham, and the North of England by the Derbyshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire Junction, or other existing and contemplated lines. On reference to the map, it will be seen that the primary object to be obtained by the formation of this line will be the immediate connexion of the northern, western, and the whole of the manufac turing counties, and North and South Wales, with the southern coast and the populous and fashionable towns of Brighton, Hastings, and Dover. It is unnecessary to observe on the daily increasing trans between Brighton and Dieppe, which the railroad from the latter place to Rouen, and theace to Paris, must greatly augment; thus, by means of the projected line, a direct communication with France, either from Brighton or Dover, will be opened with the northern counties of England. It is obvious that with these advantages the traffic must neces aaril)• bo large_ the line nasally , through the centre of Sussex, con tairing a population of about Jimanyv, AL railway accommodation. Power will !se applied for in the Act to increase the capital, f necessary, to alter the line, or to make such deviations or branches therefrom as may be deemed necessary ; also for the purposes of amal gamation with other Companies, should the same be found desirable. The Company reserves to itself the option of adopting the broad or narrow gauge, or the principle of atmospheric traction, if preferable. No further call beyond the deposit will be made until the Act shall be obtained. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to parties locally interested, aid to the shareholders in the lines with which this Company will be connected.
