It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull, at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing or projected lines, as far es practicable, and the chain of communica tion will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite. Commencing at Birmingham, tt is proposed to use the Birmingham and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29 miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid land Counties Railway The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be carried forward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing oat of the line from Nottingham to Lincoln. for which an Act was obtained by the llidland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament. From Gainsborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the- Humber, or New Holland, in the inunediate vicinity of Hull, thereby rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between Birmingham and Hull. By this project the advantages, will result to the public of a Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham, 90 Birmingham to Gainsborough, and from Birmingham to Hull; end by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway, end the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Alrewas, a clireet line from Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottingham, and the other towns already enumerated. The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the Ilse, which, together with its own merits, will ensure its success in Parliament. As a considerable portion of the line of communication is already made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this ve.tt national undertaking will be materially shortened. Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct csmmu rication between the Important seaport of Hull and the mining and manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and .Staffordshire, a large traffic in timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected. The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived front the great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the vnidlanti counties to Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir mingham to Hull, the port at which the exports are shipped to Ham ,,argh, the German States, and tho North of Zurope ; and tl'om the conveyance of merchandise, agricultUral produce, and cattle from the .'iuthern, western, and midland counties. A preference will be glren In the allotment of shares to landowners on the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking. No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of Lis pubscription. The Usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rats of four per cent. from the time ef p a y men t upon each call until the opening of the lines. No applications will be attended to without . a reference to a stember of the Committee, a banker, or the sdlicitors to this Company. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be exl.cuted when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certitl mates, of which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party makhig default in the execution of•those deeds will be for feited. Plans and prospectuses, with farms of applications for shares, may be had of the Solicitors, and of the following Stock and Sharebrokers, viz.:—Messrs.

PROSPECTUS. , This line Is dpsigned to open a direct communication between the towns of' Birmingham and Boston. The advantages to be derived by a rich, progressing, and populeus town, 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 th e di rec t li ne 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 great railway 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 oppo site ports of the Continent. A glance at the map will show how this line is fed, and the towns in its neighbourhood supplied with railway accommodation ly 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 subscription paid up. No subscriber shall be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription.

The first object of this line Is to connect the town of Birmingham, Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route, and to supply au Important link of communication between the town of Spalding and the eastern coast with the Western and Midland districts. Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham, Lynn, and Ilolbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn, Witham, Castle Bythatn, South Wytham, and Wyniondham, to a point ou the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton- Counties Itallyr Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid landaY, an almost direct route to Leicester, and thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry, Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway. The projected line will form the most direct communication be tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by means of the proposed line s across the county of Leicester, via Bur ton-upon-Trent, to St a ff ord, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk, Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles than any other line of railway. It will form, with other osOjected railways, an a l most direct line across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on th e east, to Aberystvrith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west. The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is no tunnel ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line accommodation, besides open from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very c omMunication to a tract level, and may be constructed at a small cost. destitute o f o f oa rail way s of trade undeveloped for want of the means of transit. open ing out source central midland districts have felt greatly. the want of direct The ' tlon with the coast; and this line will at once supply the communtca • the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire. • f It co uwnitliry secure at presentth the advantages deficiency .0 It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshi re, and Lei cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dep en d ent upon supply from the north at high prices: it wil l also secure the advan tages of an unlimited supply of lime to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only supplied at very high rates • and, in return traffic, the midl and dia. tads will obtain the advantage of adirect stock , transit for the and lk. agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfo Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, arid connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean. The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans port of corn, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay.

THE ROYAL GRAM) JUNCTION • RAILWAY, Connecting the London and South-Eastern, London and Brighton, London and South-Western, and London and Great Western Rail ways ; commencing at the Reigate station of the Brighton Rail way, and passing through or near Reigate, Betchworth, Dorking, Mickleham, Leatherhead, Feteham, Great and Little Bookham, Stoke D'Abernon, Cobham, Faremile, Claremont, Esher, Walton, Weybridge, Chertsey, Thorpe, Egham, Ascot, Windsor, Staines, Eton, and Slough; and terminating at the Slough station of the Great Western Railway. _ Capital, 600,0001., in 30,000 Shares of 201. each.

PARLIAMENTARY AGENTS—Hugh Ines Cameron and George Bain, Esqs., Parliament-street. London. In consequence of the total want of system in the selection of railways in England, especially those emanating from the grand centre of London, there are many wealthy and populous dis tricts that are totally devoid of the benefits of railway conveyance. Such, for instance, is that between Reigate and Windsor—a country unequalled in agricultural resources, and loaded with population, a vast number of whom are co:anected more er less with mercantile pursuits, and, consequently, in frequent habit or necessity of reach ing the metropolis, market towns, ports, and manufacturing locali ties. These considerations, weighty in themselves, but light in com parison with others, first gave rise to the present undertaking ; and when it is considered that this line of thirty miles will be the con necting link of five of the largest railways in England, through which it will be fed by incalculable numbers, totally Independent of Its extensive local traffic, it must be evident to the most sceptical, that it forms not only a desirable but an absolutely necessary artery In the present system of railway communication. There are many lines now in contemplation which will afford additional prosperity to the Royal Grand Junction ; among which may be named the London and Portsmouth Direct ; Epsom, Brighton, and Arundel ; Reigate and Reading; London, Staines, and Ascot; Direct London and Exeter, &c. The line is i .tended to commence at the Reigate station of the London and Brighton Railway, and passing through Reigate, Betch worth, and within a quarter of a mile of Dorking, will continue its course along the picturesque vale of Afickleham, at the foot of Box hill and Norbury, following as near as may be the river Mole to Leatherhead ; after which it will pass through the parishes of Fetckam and Stoke D'Abernon, and at the back of Claremont, the property of his Majesty the King of the Belgians ; from thence near Esher, Walton, and Weybridge, to Chertsey, Thorpe, Egham, Ascot, Windsor, Eton, and Slough; and terminating at the Slough station of the Great Western Railway. In addition to the many - sources of income to be derived from the conveyance of passengers, merchandise, and agricultural produce on this line, and which has been estimated at 15 per cent., it will afford a direct and continuous railway communication for the accommoda tion of her Majesty and the Royal Family between Windsor, London, Claremont, Portsmouth, and Brighton; thus approximating one with the other her Majesty's live favourite residences, and avoiding the present inconvenient .changes from the railway to the road, and from one proprietary to another, it being proposed to lay down the narrow gauge, that being adopted by four out of five of the lines this railway is designed to connect. It is proposed to erect royal station-houses at Windsor and Clare mont, for the use of her Majesty, and to make such deviations and arrangements as shall meet the royal assent and approbation, as also to forward the views of the Company. It may be as well to add, that the whole country has been care fully selected. so that no difficulties can interfere with the completion of the line, and the land through which it will take its course is, on an average, considerably below the usual value of property ; and, lastly, having obtained the sanction ofthe most influential proprietors throughout the line, no opposition can be made or sustained against the promoters of the undertaking, who will use use every endeavour to obtain a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the next ses sion. Applications for shares may be made, In the usual form, to the so licitors, or to the following brokers :—Mr. Roger Mortimer, Throg morton-strect, London ; B. R.

PROSPECTUS. . _ This line of railway, although only about twenty-eight miles in length, is a most important one, as forming a connecting link to several existing lines, and across-a district - at present destitute of such accommodation. It commences at the Think station on the Great North of England- Railway, and proceeds in a direct line to Pickering, where it will form a junction with the York, Scarborough, Pickering, and Whitby lines. It is supported by the various com panies having lines of railway running- into - Leeds and Thirsk, and by means of this proposed - line a distance of twenty-two miles will be saved between Thirsk and Whitby, and • about sixteen between Thirsk and Scarborough.- It would certainly be the grand route to Whitby, Scarborough, and Burlington, and the intermediute towns of Helmsley and liirkby 7 Moorside, so badly provided for at present with railway accommodation, from all places west or north of Thirsk, and it would necessarily- open out - a traffic, -for which the present means of communication-are altogether inadequate. The landowners Oil the line -are few in num.er, and are friendly to the project, which presents no great engineering difficulties. It in terferes with no existing railway property, and every care will be taken not to Interfere with any ornamental property. It will at once appear unnecessary, with respect to this line, to enter into details of passengers and goods traffic. They cannot for a mo ment be questioned ; and •when by this railway so much easier access is made between the important seaport of Whitby and the fashion able resorts of Scarborough, Burlington Quay, and Harrowgate, as well as the populous and Important- towns of the West Riding of York shire and Lancashire, with which it will form an uninterrupted com munication, It cannot fall-to be highly beneficial to those interested in this undertaking. Until the Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the proposed Company will be under the control of the Committee, of whom five are to be a quorum. Application for shares must be made to the solicitors of the Com pany (of whom prospectuses and forms of applications may be ob. tattled), accompanied by a reference either to some member of the Committee, one of the -solicitors, or one of - the following share brokers—viz., Messrs. Boyd, 4, New Bank-buildings; and Robert Johnston, Esq., 5, Shorter's-court, Throgmort..n•street, London; Messrs. Risdales, Myers, and Bailey, and James Hill and Co., Leeds ; Messrs. Watson and Taylor, Darlington. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. To the Committee of the Whitby, Pickering, Thirsik, and Great North of Ent ,- land Junction Railway.

The provinces which the railway will unite were found by the census of 1844 to comprise a . population of 2,188,551, and the dis tricts which it will traverse are situated in the heart of Belgium, and comprise an area of 165 squ %re miles. The entire length of the Bel gian Grand Junction Railway - will be 102 English miles, and the ins variable rule of tho Belgian Government netto permit any competing lines, must necessarily ensure to this Company the entire traffic of the country through which this line will pass. This portion of the country is emphatically termed the Granary of Belgium, and, in addition to its vast agricultural produce, is rich in ironstone, lead, mai ble, stone, and slate quarries. It has also nume rous distilleries, extensive biewzries, ironworks, and laege manufac tories of porcelain, glass, paper, beetroot sugar, gunpowder, Scc. The great coal-fi e ld s o f Charleroi and Liege, which are the most ex tensive in Belgiu m , will, by means of this line, be enabled to supply all parts of the kin g d om at a very reduced rate.

The Provisional Committee of the Great Grimsby, Sheffield, the Potteries, and Grand Junction Railway, having expressed a desire to consolidate with the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Potteries, and Crewe Railway Company, the Provisional Directors of the latter appointed a deputation to confer with a deputation from the former at Man chester, on Friday, the 24th inst., when, after the most mature deliberation, the Provisional Directors of the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Potteries, and Crewe Railway Company, although anxious to avoid an unnecessary Parliamentary contest, were convinced it would be injurious to the interests of their subscribers, and without any public advantage, to identify themselves with a rival line from Sheffield to the Staffordshire Potteries, in opposition to those which have been so long before the public for supplying railway communication be tween Sheffield and Buxton, viz., the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junction Railways. They, therefore, feel that their only course, consistnit with a due regard to the interests above named, is to preserve the integrity of their project from Buxton to Stoke-upon-Trent and Congleton, uniting at those places with the North Staffordshire Railway.

Leek, Oct. 25, 1845 , 11-01,1141111 t, , LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1845, It is curious to remark in how powerful a manner the speculations of those Contemporaries who dispute the action of Sir R. PEEL'S currency legislation upon the money market confirm, no doubt unwittingly, the propositions we have so often asserted of it. The most vehement advocate for the Premier's gold standard theory, asks what has become of the 30,000,0001. of deposits which have been paid into various bankers, on account of railway shares ? Another Contemporary, who disputes this writer's views upon the sub j;•ct utterly and unhesitatingly, tacitly admits that he cannot answer this pithy question. He concurs with us, however, in objecting to the mischievous tone assumed by the in terrogator, in "running amuck" against railway invest ments in general. But he is not less committed to all the disastrous fallacies of the bullionist. Now, in our turn, we beg to ask the whole of this school—the bullionists, the paper convertible into gold, the gold standard of currency doctors—what has become of the enormous aggregate of de posits paid within these few months on railway shares? We make them a present of our own incredulity as to the assumed amount of 30,000,0004 Be the amount what it may, it is however certain that the sum is to be told in millions. Has it been paid in in gold? In paper convertible into gold? In both the one and the other? The answer will clearly be in the affirmative to the latter. It is then enough for our purpose to show that the many additional millions, which to make up this aggregate must have been called out of private hoards, must have added to the previously existing aggregate of our circulation. Let it be contended even that it was not drawn out of any hoards, but simply diverted from those branches of investment in which it was before placed into this railway share application. Then it is cer tain, either that the previous aggregate of the circulation is not diminished by the mere ; fact of the hange of investment; or, that if it be (which is most un likely) absorbed into the capital of private bankers, it still exists for all purposes of the operation of the 7th and Bth of Vic., cap. 32, and the 4th and sth of Vic., cap. 50; the one embodying the sublime scheme of the issue and banking department of the Bank of England, and the ether pe riodically promulgating the average aggregate accounts of the circulation of all the banks of Scotland and Ireland. This being so, we take leave to ask how it happens that the total circulation of the Bank, according to last Friday's Gazette, is contracted to 27,778,955/. ? That the Bank of England felt it necessary to contract their issues within the last two or three weeks, for some sufficing reason, is abundantly evident on these two significant facts—they have raised their rate of discount, and the last Gazette pub lication shows that the diminution of their gold and silver bullion stores has fallen below that which we had already consi dered its extremest point. On the 18th inst. we announced that the issue department of the Bank of England showed a total of 28,068,826/. ; and the bullion was, gold, 12,253,289/. ; silver 1,815,531/., together 14,068,820/. With last Friday comes the authorised announcement, that the notes issued are something under 27,779,0004., and the bullion only 13,783,95'1. ; viz , gold 12,018,447/., silver 1,760,504. It would appear, therefore, that nothing is much more clear, than that the combined operation of the Premier's mo netary system, and the continuous demands of railway wages in England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Belgium, Prussia, and even ltaly—wherever in short English capital has been em• barked in these works—is fast draining the country of that only legalised representative of active capital in what we may call its ino;:ey realization, which the sagacity of the Currency Laws will permit to us. Our condition then is now simply this: at no previous period in the history of the country was there ever such a development of the spirit of enterprising invest ment ; such a demand for incidental deposits of capital to con duct the vast transactions to which that spirit has now espe cially addressed its most vigorous energies; or a disparity be tween the amount of the paper which must represent those transactions, and the gold currency in which that paper must by law he ultimately dis charged, and not only ultimately, but at any mennent on demand—so awfully apparent. Add to this statement of facts, the consideration, that the issuers' of that paper, must pay this gold for it, at a fixed unvarying rate of 3/. 17s. 10id. per oz., when the operation of all the other ele inents that compose this condition of singular em barrassment is, to enhance its market value to an extent, the limits of which no man can pr tend to predict, although the enhanced value is already sen: ibly felt in the turn of the exchangeat Paris, Hamburgh, Bremen, &c.,upon London; and we ask whether here is not the shadow cast before an approaching catastrophe, whose proximity it is impossible to doubt? Whenever the fba lancint of the operations we speak of arrives at that point in the evolution of the capital engaged in them at which it will become necessary for large speculators, either to realise, in time to save their market, or with a view, by closing accounts, to avoid incurring furtherlossi s than their remaining open shall-have already occasioned to them, the immoderate rise in the value of gold money, will be in exact proportion to the immoderate excess of paper money and other securities, which are at present the floating ca pital, representing the unprecedented transactions in the share market. In directing the attention of our readers thus earnestly to the course in which events seem fast determining, we must boldly avow our own opinion to be, that taken per se, the ex traordinary favour lately manifested by the public for railway speculations is a great national benefit. Making all allowances, that can in reason be insisted upon.for improvidence, gambling fraud, and deception—elements that will interpose their mischievous combinations in all dealings upon so vast a scale• —the railway mania has done immeasurable service to in dustrial labour throughout the country. It has applied uncalculated masses of British capital to the most legiti mate of British purposes, by bringing into action, latent and hitherto dormant facilities of com munication between all parts of the United Kingdom, and with those facilities, unlimited expansion to domestic trade. new energies to foreign commerce, and permanent bases of increasing national grandeur. If the working of the Currency Bills of 1819, 1826, and 1844, is gill to be permitted to run out its whole calamitous career, not only will the panic of 1825 be renewed, but a consummation far more awful and ovewhelming will inevitably distinguish the 20th anniversary of the first of those years of ruin and spoliation. In order to keep the tendencies of railway investment in their present beneficial course, and to avert the terrible cataFtrophe, to which we cannot allude without dismay, what will the Minister do ? We venture to predict with confidence, that the dreaded result on the one hand is only to be averted, on the other to be partially repaired (for if it happen it cannot be radically compensated), by an organic departure from the principles of our present monetary system. It will not be the last, nor even the most surprising of the transmutations fs fr° The Paris papers contain more favourabl e accoun ts Algiers.

This proposed raway, while it will connect the manufacturing towns of Dundee and Forfar by the nearest and most direct route, will form a continuous and connecting link at the river Tay with the follow ing great railways:—The Edinburgh and Northern, the proposed Glasgow and Dundee Junction, and the Perth and Dun& e lines; and, at the Forfar Terminus, will meet the Scottish Midland Junc tion from Edinburgn and Perth, and its proposed extension to the Aberdeen Railway at Laurencekirk, also the Forfar and Arbroath Railway, which joins the Aberdeen Railway at Friockheim—thus amalgamating with these various railways, and forming a contiuu ous and centrical trunk for the general railway communication from England through Scotland. This line will be about fifteen miles in length, and, viewed only as a local connecting line between Dundee and Forfar, it is in a great degree called for by the manufacturers, merchants, and farmers of the district. It will beyond all question, from this source alone, have a traffic sufficient for ample remuneration to the shareholders. For far is the county town, and there is necessarily a considerable inter course with Dundee. To parties locally versant with this manufac turing district, this very extensive traffic and intercourse between Dundee and Forfar aro well known. The population of the district connected with the line, is about 100,000. Dundee, from its proximity to Forfar, and its extensive shipping capabilities, is the proper and convenient port for exporting the pro duce of the district, but at present there is no direct railway com munication. The expense of transmitting goods at present between Dundee and Forfar is fully double what it should be, and in a great measure performed by horse carriage, an expensive and tedious pro cess ; but the formation of this railway will , open up a direct and cheap communication, and will unqueitionab'y benefit the trade and agriculture of the district. The line passes through a rich agricultural district, for the pro duce of which the farmers will by it find an easy and expeditious transit to Dundee, both for the consumpt and exportation ; and the agricultural value of the lands will be considerably Increased by the direct communication with the town and harbour of Dundee, and the railways running south from the Tay. The extensive pave ment and slate quarries around Forfar and along the district will be greatly enhanced by the line, as a cheap and easy access to Dundee fur exportation will thus be afforded. The promoters of this railway, viewing the extensive local traffic, the junction with the whole railways before enumerated in con nexion with the great English trunk railways, have no hesitation in submitting this under taking to the public, not only as one necessarily called for by the mercantile, manufacturing, and agricultural inte rests of the district, and public colveniency, but snore especially by Its being the direct centrical line, forming a continuation of the rail way communication by the Edinburgh and Northern and Glasgow Junction lines, through the counties of Fife and Forfar, to Aberdeen and the north of Scotland. As a safe investment for capital, this line, being thus in the midst of a great manufacturing district, and from the present formation of railway communication at both ends, will present the sure prospect of being highly advantageous. The district has already been surveyed, and presents no difficulty to the formation of the railway; and the proprietors and tenants along the line are understood to be very favourable to the under taking. The requisite Parliamentary notices have been given, so that the Bill may be introduce.i and passed in the ensuing Session ; and the Company's engineer will i mme di a t e l y proceed to finish a minute survey of the whole line and termini at Dundee and Forfar. Applications for Shares will be received by the following Share brokers.: — Edinburgh—Messrs. Joists Robertson and Co., and Robert Allan. Glasgow—Messrs. M'Ewen and Au.d, Peter White, and Messrs.
