This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Vallies, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district, cite of 'the richest and most important in South Wales, which is at present without the means of transit for its immense and valuable products. It will pa9o through the central portion of the great coal-field of Glanterganshlre, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal in im mense qnautities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly flat, and, obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in, addition to Its being of excellent quality for Iran making, as is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdeen, is also, like that of those districts, of the very best description for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de scription of coal established for steam purposes over any ether, that the demand for it far exceeds the supply, and promisee, accord ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super sede all others for purposes of steam navigation. This source of traffic alone will afford a handsome return for the capital investe4, as has been demonstrated In every Instance whore even tram-roads or canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of ether less promising Tallies In Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro ductions. An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so - necessary for the manu facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by means of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any ether line. • " This line will afford to the Increasing population of the rich vales of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the, great market town and port of Cardiff, &out whence, at present, they may be said to be almost excluded, proceedcomm a n I: 1 a h t o u n r d a d l a . . , t a h m e head t is n f intendedthe Rhondda tat the Valley, n4‘ s a h n a d l 1 between the hills at Ffi-wd Amu's, a distance of eight miles, where' it will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near LantriSsent,'. and there Join the South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication under the most advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the Bristol channel. A preliminary survey has already beat made by competent par, ties, and it is found that the country admits of highly favourable gradients,. so much so that it is confidently anticipated that the works will be executed Poly constierably under the advertised ca pital. The landowners along the line are favourable to this undertaking, and the names of many influential proprietors will be fotutd on the Provisional Committee. ° No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his de poelt the Att is 'obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his aubicription. Until an Alt of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Covipany shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to whom power is given to allot the Shan s, and to apply the thuds of ,he Company In payment of all the expenses Incurr e d In It s forma tion, and in the preparation Of the plans and sections to be submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for in the Act (and in the meantime is hereby given to the Managing Directors as'above), to raise any addi tional capital, to extol.' or abandon any part of the line, to make branch fines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or otherwise, with any pthir Company or companies, and also to nomi nate the first Directors of the Company.

That another and a more direct line of railway Is necessary between the metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Man-, chester is now fully admitted, and the question is,—which is the best line to be adopted ? The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most direct' route from London to Manchester, and will, therefore, complete the direct communication with the metropolis at a much less expenditure of capital than by either of the projected London and Manchester lines (llemington's and Ashurst's), the actual distance to be con structed being only seventy-three,insteadof one-hundred and seventy • to one-hundred and eighty miles.. A careful preliminary survey has determined the promotbrs of this' railway to adopt nearly a straight line from Rugby to Macclesfield, as an incteased expenditure of 200,0001. or 300,0001. judiciously ap• plied, in the present perfected state of the Science of civil enghrering, • and at the reduced cost of the execution of earthworks, will prove in the end a far greater real economy, both to the Company itself, in the saving-effected . In tke annual expense of working, and also, what is of more importance to the country in general, by aceon.pllshing, at a much l e ss cost, the same end proposed, by an entire and distinct line from London to Manchester. These considerations have not been sufficiently kept In view by other parties - who have also proposed to make a railway from Rugby to Macclesfield, but who, by deviating from the direct tract to pm , sue valleys, and to avoid the Irregularities of the face of the country, obviously lose the advantages proposed by this Company. The Parliamentary decision on the choice Of the London and Brighton Railway is a parallel case; the direct line, although pre4 senting more difficulties to overcome, and Involving a greater eutlayi having been adopted by Parliament in preference to the many com peting projects In a more or less sinuous direction, which were at that time supported in the House by very influential parties. Should it be found necessary, arrangements have' been made by' which additional lines of rails will be laid between Rugby, and Lon don, on the London and Birmingham Railway, whereby the surplus traffic northwards will be abundantly provided for. This line also possesses the singular advantage of affording the shortest and most direct route from Manchester to Fouthampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth, a feature presented by no other proposed railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great Western as far as Dideot,' and thence the proposed Oxford, South ampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Man chester to Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than by any other route, and on this account the project has been warmly sup ported by the - Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portamoutk Rail- Way Company. The deviations from a perfectly straight lino between Rugby and Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or valuable buildings, are very slight, and the line in general offers no engineering difficulties of any magnitude. The towns more directly interested as a local line are Nuneaton, Hinckley,' Atherstonc, Market Bosworth, Burton-upon-Trerit, Tutbury, Ashbourne, and Leek. • The Company has 'made arrangements with the North London Junction Railway Company, whereby it has secured the use of their station (of the extent of sL' acres), In the centre of, the - city of Lon don, at the bottom of Moorgate-strect, which will prove of the ut most importance to this line. • _ Amidst the many railway projects that mow occupy the public mind and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily. be conceded that a line that will attain such important results at so small an out lay of capital, and the time required for its construction, mind without interfering with any existing vested interests, must meet with general approbation, and at the same time offer a very excellent investment fir capital. The sharehoMers in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports mouth, in the London and Birmingham, and in the. Manchester and Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of shares. Me deeds will provide that no call shall be wade on the sharehold ers beyod the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is ob tained, and power will be taken in the Act to" allow 41. per cent. In terest in all calls.

The object of this line is to make a short and direct communication between the populous manufacturing and iron and coal districts of Bradford, Cleckheaton, Heckmondwikc, Batley, Dewsbury, Barns ley, and Sheffield, with the wool and agricultural districts of Lei cestershire, Derbyshire, Doncaster, Cialusborough, 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 Dorton to. Barnsley, and Wombwell, to or near to Wath-uponi,Dearne, near Swinton ; where it will join the North Midland Railway, and also meet the proposed. line to Doncaster, Bawtry, Gainsborottgh, 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 direet 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 • dfrect line of communication will thus be formed between the important manufacturing places of Bradford, Bierley, Cleckheaton, ,Gomersall, Heckmondwike, Livorsedge, Batley, Dewsbnry, Ossett, Thornhill, Darton, Barnsley, Ardsley, and Wombwell, to Wath upon-Dea rne, Doicaster, 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, ,Worsborongh, Tankersley, Chapeltown, and Sheffiell ; whilst the wools and raw materials used in the manufactures at Bradford, Pudsey, Earlsheaton, Cleckheaton, 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, Cleeklicaton, Bradford, and the intermediate places (each containing a numerous manufacturing population), has been the North Midland line by Noinnanton—a very circuitous route, as appears by the fol lowing statement of distances of those places : Relative distances from Bradford and Dewsbury to Bamsley and Sheffield, by the present route, and the proposed line : • Mlles From Bradford to Barnsley by Brighottse, and thenco by the Lee& and Manchester line, about • . .. .. ..

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 distanee, 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 - 6om Swinton to Leeds by this project and the Leeds and Dewsbury line, the distance Is much less than by • way of If ormanton.

SECRETARY—SamneI Stanway, Esq. The first line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Loughborough station en the Midland Counties line, and 'pro ceed through the Vale of Sheepshead, to Pegs Green Colliery, near to the terminus of the Leicester and Swannington Rail leaf, and from thence through the coal-fields of Swannington and Cole-Orton to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It will thence proceed across the Moira Coal-field and through the rich agricultural districts of Seal,CilftonCampville, and Edingale, to the Birmingham and Derby Railway, which it will cross near to Elford Park Farm, and thence traverse the Valley of the Tame until it reaches Alrewas, where it will form a junction with the branch of the Trent Valley line new Is progress of making. At this point it also meets the proposed South StalTordshite line, by which means it reaches Lichfield, and by means of one of the proposed lines it will afford communication with Blr iningham. From Loughborough the line will be further continued to Asfordby, on the Syston and Peterborough Railway, now in progress, and by means of this latter line a direct intercourse wilt be opened with Meltonllowbray and the various towns through which that route •passes to Peterborough. ,By means of its junction with the Trent Valley line at Alrewas„ the Grand Trunk reaches Colwich, and there meets the proposed North Staffordshire line, nilich proceeds through the heart of the Potteries to Newcastle-under-Lyne, Leek, and Macclesfield. By 'means also of• the same Trent Valley line at Alrewas the Grand Trunk pro ceeds.through Rugeley to Stafford, thus completing its route, and forming a connecting line between the Midland And Grand Junction Ralways. This.branch of the nee was formerly surveyed by Mr. Rastrick, and approved of by him as a canal communication, so that no, engineering difficulties exist:. • The second line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Derby station, and .taking the course of the Derby Canal proceed to Chellaston, where there are extensive plaster-works, and thence by Swarkestono to the river Trent, which it will cross near to the ferry at Weston Cliffe ' and so proce , 'd to Kings Newton and Melbourne. From the latter place it will pass by the village of Wilson to Breedon-on-the-Hill, where there are extensive liMe-works, and thence proceed by Staunton Harold, communicat ing by a branch line with the lead, lime, and coal works there ; thence by the Lount Colliery, to ,Worthington Rough, where it will follow the line of the Cole-Orton and Swannington Railway eutil its junction with the first line of the Grand Trunk at or near the Pegs Green Colliery, and so proceed from thence to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. At Ashby-de-la-Zouch the Grand Trunk forms a junction with•the proposed Nottingham and Birmingham, and with the . proposed Great Manchester, Ittigby'," and Southampton Railways. Its Importance as a fine for passengers is too obvious for comment, forming as it does a complete junction between those two great thoroughfares, the Mid land and Grand Junction Railways, and by its branch from Derby t.. Ashby-de-la-Zouch another complete junction between the Great Northern and Southern lines now in progress, thus opening a direct line of communication to all parts of the kingdom. As a line for traffic, the Grand Trunk will form the most direct tmnsit to the Leicestershire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire iron and coal fields, to the Burton bfeweries, to .North and South Wales, and Ireland to Scotland, and an parts of the north, and ti the eastern, southern, and western parts of the eMpire. •It will also ,be ..the nearest and most direct communication from the east to the pertli western manufacturing districts, as well as become the great route from 'all parts of the kingdbm to the midland counties of England. The mineral resources are of the very highest order. The Moira coal-field is inexhaustible, whilst the coal-beds at Staunton Harold alone - comprise the finest quality of Kennel to a depth of 'seven feet, with a super stratum of main coal to a depth ,of six feet. Th e sub stratum is yet to be worked. There are .beds of Kennel and mai n coal at Cole Orton of equal quality, though•not .of equal depth with those of Staunton Harold, whilst the main coal ot Swatiningtotris un rivalled, being, in fact, the bowl of the Leiceste rs hi re an d D erbyshire' coal strata. tis needless to describe the beneficial results which must arise from this opening of the midland coal district to' the Lon don and southern markets. At Staunton Harold and Calke.exist rich veins of lead ore, now In full course of working. , The propettietkotthe Breedon, Staunton NetrOld, and Ticknall limo arc so well known to agriculturists and others, that an extension of traffic for so valuable it commodity into m tre remote districts must be•of the utmost importance to the practical farmer. In approaching the Trent, on leaving the lime district, the Grand Trunk will fall in with most valuable quarries of millstone grit, ser viceable for paving and building purposes, and for which a ready market would be found along the line. The country also abounds in gypsum, of which immense quantities are used' in Birming ham and elsewhere: these markets will thus 'become opewd for the quarries at Chellaston. A new and extensive outlet will also be opened for the earthenware of - Wooden Box and Geesley Potteries. Until the Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs.will be. under the control of the Committee of Management, to whom power - is given to allot the shafes and apply the funds of the Company in payment of all proper expenses in the formation of the Company and • otherwise. rower will he applied for in the Act, and in. the meantime the Committee of Management take power, to alter Or extend the lines, to make branch lines, to abandon any part of the line, to raise addi tional capital, and to enter into arrangements with any other Com pany otit%inpanies; Application for slimes must be made in the form annexedito the soli citors to Company, Messrs.

The great principle on which the projectors of this cretin The scheme have acted, is the establishment of a dire ct line of critil!' cation between B rmingham and Birkenhead, by the nearet% a ? route, and at the smallest possible Outlay. To effect this onSroyir proposed to make use either of the Grand Junction, or the rhO r ham, Dudley, and 'Wolverhampton Railway, as far as ir l „ e c ti. , o , ton, and thence to throw out a new line in as straight A dr! 410 1 possible to Chester, where a junction will be formed with to; l ' ini fer already existing between that city and Birkenhead. AP ° • tant saving of distance will thus be effected. nenc o,•o( It is obvious that such a scheme is fraught with Nal, reeP7 ( the highest possible import to the commercial interests of ...,,, no live districts. The growing prosperity of Birkenhesdi v s ,' )I ,oll a demands a more direct communication with the Mhtla n ! r i ce at dl t . 6 .
