Offices of the Company, 37, Moorgate-street. The present Company has been formed for the construction of a line of railway from Madrid to the cityand port of Valencia, the mast central seaport on the Mediterranean. It will open out the re sources of an extensive district of country, eastward from the capital, remarkable for the richness and fertility of its soil, the varied abun dance of its productions, and the commercial spirit of its inhabitants. This railway is authorised by a special ordinance of her Majesty the Queen of Spain ; and from its vast importance as a national route of intercommunication her Majesty has been pleased to accompany the grant with all the privileges and immunities which the Crown is empowered to confer upon a railway company. Amongst these may be enumerated 1. A lease of the line and of its branches for 99 years. 2. The gratuitous grant of such Government and corporation lands as may be required for the railway. 3. The free use of all timber, the property of the State, that may be necessary for the works, or for other purposes. 4. The exemption for ten years, to be computed from the com mencement of the works, of all import duties on the machinery, rails, and other articles requisite for the completion of the railway. 5. The entire exemption from all national and local taxes that could otherwise be levied upon the railway, works, or buildings of any description. and upon the capital represented by the shares. 6. The Government is not to interfere with the Company's tariff of charges for the space of forty years from the completion of the works ; and no revision thereof is to take place on the expiration of that period that can sink the profits below 15 per cent. 7. The line is to be classed, by a special law, under the title of a work of public utility," and as such to enjoy the royal patronage and protection, and all the peculiar privileges attached to important national undertakings. The proposed line, thus largely endowed, is about 240 miles in length, being upwards of 160 miles nearer the capital than the ports of Cadiz and the north coast of Spain, and generally nearer than any other port in the kingdom. Although it has not yet been minutely surveyed, it is well known that there is no similar district of equal extent in the kingdom which presents so few engineering difficulties. Fer upwards of 80 miles the line will traverse the almost level plain of Valencia ; and emerging from the boundaries of the province, it will follow as nearly as possible the course of the rivers which tow east and west from the central plateau in the province of Cuenca, and approsch Madrid by the valley of the Manzanares. The line will either pass through or accommodate the most important towns in the two provinces, which will thus be brought into rapid com munication with the capital on the one side, a seaport on the other. This railway will be the means of supplying Madrid, containing 300,000 inhabitants, entirely dependent for provisions upon the con tiguous provinces, at a cheap rate, with the rich products of the pro vinces of Valencia, which abounds in most valuable mines, and is beyond comparison the most fertile district of Spain. Valencia, brought by this communication within ten hours' dis tance of the chief market of Spain, must necessarily become the port at which all vessels with supplies for the metropolis will unload, and the centre of the coasting trade along the whole sea-line from Barcelona to Gibraltar. The traffic in passengers and goods now existing between Madrid and Valencia has been correctly ascertained, showing the following results : The annual number of passengers travelling between Madrid and Valencia, and the intermediate towns, is upwards of 42,0130 ; but taking that number at the present cost of conveyance by stage coaches, private carriages, galeras, and waggons, the amount will be £67,800 The annual weight of goods conveyed between the two cities and the intermediate localities is 4,900,05 d cv. from which the return is estimated at • . .. 1,223,400 X 1,291,260 Assuming that two .fifths only of the existing charges beoome a source of revenue to the railway, and that the tariff be reduced considerably below the State tariff of Belgium, there will be deducted •• 752,320 R e mains • • • • • • £53 • ,880 Supposing that the present traffic will only be doubled by the railway, although experience has proved the increase to be equal to 300 and 400 per cent., there will be added .. • . • . • • i3B,SBL And add - 41,077,760 For the transport of troopg, military stores, &c., which the Government will substitute for the conveyance by waggons .. .. • • • • ' • • • • • 50,000 25 per Cent., at the least, for the Alicant traffic .. 215,952 £1,343,712 From which deduct nearly SO per cent. for maintenance of way, Bcc. • • .. • • • • • • .. .. 671,556 Leaving a net profit of X 671,856 Or of nearly 28 per cent. upon the capital. The capital now proposed to be raised hag been estimated, by competent authority, to be amply sufficient for the completion of the railway, including stations, a double line for rails, and the working plant. The royal ordinance authorises the erection of an electric tele graph along the line, which will answer the double purpose of placing the railway under the special protection of the Government, and closely uniting it with all the railways that intersect the kingdom and have their common termini in Madrid, to which capital maritime and mercantile information from the Mediterranean can be instan taneously communicated. One-third of the shares are, by the terms of the concession, con ceded to Spain. The locale of the Company will be in Spain, and it will be framed on the principle of a compania anonirace, agreeably to the commercial code of that country. The affairs of the Company will be conducted by a Board of Di rectors in London, assisted by a highly influential Committee in Madrid. The remuneration to the Directors will be made in ac cordance with the plan usually adopted in continental railways, and that to the Concessionaires consists of a mere contingent interest in two-twentieths of net profits, after five per cent. shall have been se cured to the shareholders. A. deposit of 2/. per share is payable on allotment, and no future call will exceed 2/. per share, of which two months' notice at least will be given.

This line will diverge from the 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. The 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 Eastern and Western Railway Company, on the strong representations and request of a large and most influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh bourhood. 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 districts, and to af ford the inhabitants the most direct communication with Loudon, 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.

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, Heckmondwike, 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 Ckapeltown 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, Cromersall, Heckmondwike, Liversedge, Batley, Dewsbury, Ossett, Thornhill, Dayton, 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 ased in the manufactures at Bradford, Pudsey, Earlsheaton, aleckheaton, 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 circuitou► 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 : 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 Midiaaid 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 ploject and the Leeds and Dewsbury line, the distance is much less than by way of Normanton.

Provisions will be inserted in the Act of Parliament to allow inte rest at 4 per cent. on the deposits and calls, from the passing of the Act, until the opening of the railway; and for limiting the share holders' liability to the amount of their subscriptions. Power will also be applied for in the Act (and in the meantime is reserved to the Managing Committee), to abandon or alter any part of the line, and to make branches ; and also to enter into any arrange ments with any other company er companies. A liberal portion of the shares will be reserved for the landowners and others having local interests; and such companies as this line may form junctions with, or with whom this Company may be con nected.

The task of deciding upon claims of ex traordinary extent and respectability has been arduous and painthil but the Committee have felt it to be their duty to give precedence in the allotment to applicants locally Interested, and to such parties as, from their position in the railway community, can render bene ficial aid and co-operation to the undertaking, to the Inevitable ex elusion of vast numbers of applicants to whose claims, under other circumstances, they would most willingly have attended. The Committee have the pleasurable duty of recording the fact, that by every town on the line between Cheltenham and ;South ampton, including both those places, and Marlborough, Cirencester, Stockbridge, Romsey, Andover, as well as the town of Poole, a most favourable expression of opinion has been spontaneously offered, and active assistance tendered ; and that from the town of Manchester a highly influential petition of merchants and traders will convey to Parliament a strong expression of interest in the proposed railway. It is, at the same time, satisfactory to the Committee to add, that in the midst of these active demonstrations in favour of the under taking, the engineering preparations, relating as well to the line from Cheltenham to Southampton, as to the line by Ludgershall to Salisbury and Poole, have been vigorously prosecuted, and that the surveys are in such a state of forwardness as justifies the announce-. ment that the project will he brought before Parliament in A way sa tisfactory to the subscribers. As regards the additional capital required for the extension. line to Poole, the Committee will be prepared to announce the moose in which it will be raised so soon as importantnegotiations, now on foot, shall be concluded.

The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are— Firstly—The supply of local railway accommodation to the impor mnt districts embraced by the line. Secondly—The benefit of railway communication with the metro polis to a district of country upwards of fifty miles in length at pre sent unprovided with that accommodation. Thirdly—The completion of the chain of railway communication between the river Severn and the southern and western counties, and the north-eastern district of the kingdom and the river Humber and its ports, including that of Hull. Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con verge at that town from Cheltenham, and the west from Worcester and from Warwick, the line will proceed in a direct course to the market town of Kettering, by which place all the companies compet ing for the line of railway between London and Manchester propose to pass. It will then proceed also in a direct course to the market towns of Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, on to Lincoln. The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Grant ham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo dation, not only to the south but also to the north. ♦t 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 and Market Rasen, on to the rising port of Great Grimsby. Ry an union with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail way at Market Rasen, a direct and uninterrupted chain of communi cation will be established between all the above-mentioned districts and the town and port of Hull. The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated, viz.:— Starting from Great Grimsby, the line will appropriate to itself the whole of the traffic from thence to the metropolis, and also the southern and western districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it will secure the important and increasing local traffic between that town and Market Rasen and Lincoln. From Gainsborough, the termini of several railways from the north and north-west, this line will carry the trellis to Lincoln, its county tewn. The traffic from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, will enter upon this line at Market Itasen and proceed thereon to Lincoln. From Lincoln the whole of the traffic passing to the west and the intermediate towns must pass over the lines. 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 else the metropolis, will pass along this line of railway ; the foriner the whole distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham, a distance of about twenty-five miles ; and should the London and York Company not succee3, such traffic will proceed on to Kettering or Northampton. The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of more than forty miles, and including the market towns of Oakingliam and llppingham, is without a railway or water-carriage accommodation, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over this line of railway, which will be in the direct course not only to the west but also to London. At Kettering this line will unite with that one of the now com peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to London, which shall be successful before Parliament. The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two exceptions 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. The line will not interfere with any ornamental property. The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking. The: promoters reserve power to alter and var y ti e route, to ex tend the proposed line of railway, and to increase the amount of ca pital as may be necessary or advisable. rlc4peCtllatl wrd ply will be ready for distribution in a few days.

Stourbridge—Messrs. Hunt, Price, and Harward: This important line of railway is forty-two miles in length; will commence at the railway station of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, at Kidderminster, and will proceed from thence, by way of Tenbury and Leominster, to Hereford, where it will join the Hereford and Monmouth, and all the other lines of rail way which converge from Hereford, and run into the west of Eng land, and the immensely populous coal, iron, and copper districts of South Wales, and the important district of central Wales. The intended railway will, by means of its connexion with the Derbyshire, Worcestershire, and Staffordshire Junction, and that portion of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton which runs from Dudley to Kidderminster, complete the great chain of railway communication between the clothing districts of Yorkshire, the coal and iron ore districts of Derbyshire and Staffordshire, and the large mineral districts of South Wales. At Tenbury it will form a junc tion with the Worcester and Porthdynllaen intended railway, and will be the only means of enabling Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Wednesbary, Walsall, Coventry, Dudley, Stourbridge, and the other surrounding towns, to avail themselves of the great outlet from Eng ' land to Ireland by means of Porthdynllaen, the fUture outport for Ireland. It will likewise form the nearest route to the north of England, Manchester, and Liverpool from South Wales, and be a direct line from the centre of Wales Into the midland counties. Thus the coals and other minerals, and the extensive and constantly increasing ironworks of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and Derbyshire, the ma nufactures of Lancashire and Yorkshire, the saltworks of Cheshire and Worcestershire, and the agricultural produce of Wales Hereford shire, South Shropshire, will have a direct and eheap transit. This railway is essential to complete the direct east and west traffic. The traffic of the populous districts embraced by the under taking will afford sufficient remuneration to the shareholders, and a vast augmentation of revenue, which will arise from the through tr tffic, will make the stock of the Company produce nine per cent. So convinced was an important railway company of t h e great traffic which would run upon this line, that they bought np the Pro moters of a similar undertaking at a considerable expense. The line is free from engineering difficulties, and the gradients are highly favourable. The Directors reserve the powerveof a d o pting the of'.

This railway will commence at Sheerness in conjunction with st short steam-ferry communication from a point at or near to South end, on the opposite ;Essex coast, and will proceed from Sheerness by Queenborough to Faversham, where it will form a junction with one of the proposed lines from London by that town to Canterbury and Dover. The integral line will be 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 Deal south-eastwards. From a point between Herne Bay and Sarr the line will also be carried by a short extension to Margate. By this project Margate will be placed within 75 miles of the me tropolis, instead of 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 land, and the Eastern Counties, will be conveyed to Dover and the Continent via Sheerness, in preference to a lengthened and cir cuitous route through the metropolis, whereby the journey will be shortened more than 50 miles, travelling expenses will be curtailed, and the serious inconvenience and delay of transhipsmeut 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, Margate, 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 journey and avoiding the sea. The importance of a direct lino 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 of railway has yet been offered to public attention combining greater public and private advantages. . . - About thirty-six miles of 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 •• ••• . 36 The country has already been preliminary 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. Tho Committee reserve the power of making branches to Caster bury and to Deal, if circumstances shoull hereafter render it ad visable.

The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail way Company have great satisfaction in informing their subscriber.; that negotiations are now pending between the Previsional 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 ground (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 with 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 Shorpditch, 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 to the north of the Thames, and f rivo dill 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 this Com pany, will be added that of those companies also who will eventually co-operate 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 ascertain that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed in immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a faci . 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. Tkat revenue will be derived thus : _ The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to 3,345, 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 reaching the City, now uu accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. From these sources the following products are derived:— Per Ann. Pass engers from the Great Western and Birmingham Rail way, at 6d. each. • . . Passengers from the Eastern Counties to the City terminus of this Company, at 3d. each .. Omnibus passengers' traffic, at 6d. each, as taken at present ............. . 142,208 tons of goods and parcels pass annually from the Great Western and the London and Birmingham Rail ways into the City, at an average cost of carriage of 3s. 6d. per ton throughout.
