Brook and Freeman The object of this undertaking is to form a continuous line of rail way from Leeds to Liverpool, by extending the lines already made, or sanctioned by Parliament, from their respective termini at Hud dersfield, in Yorkshire, and Bury, for which extension a line of rail way only 25 miles in length is requisite. Tim proposed line will com mence at the Huddersfield station, between which place and Leeds. Parliament has already sanctioned the formation of railways, and from Huddersfield the proposed line vrill proceed by way of Hillhouse' Birchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along the valley between Stainland and GreeVand, through Bark'sland, the Yale of Ripponden, and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lancashire, where it will join the ter minus of the Liverpool and Bury line of railway. In addition to completing a direct communication from Liverpool to Leeds, Hull, and Goole, by the shortest practicable route, and by a much smaller outlay of capital, than by any other proposed line, it will provide for a large and important manufacturing pop•ilation, hitherto without the advantage of railway accommodation, an outlet to the south by means of the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction Railway, and to Manchester and to North and South Lancashire by the railways above mentioned, and by the Leeds and Manchester Railway, by a proposed junction therewith at Rochdale. This line, when completed, will, is addition to the advantages which it presents as a through line, pass through a succession of val leys thickly studded with mills and manufactories, consuming a large quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought trop a distance, and transmitting to other districts the produce of their industry, for which purposes a line of railway has become ab solutely necessary, and there can be no doubt that au ample return will be realised for the outlay of capital required. The distance between Huddersfield and Rochdale by the present line of railway is thirty miles, which by the proposed railway will be reduced to seventeen miles. The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the right of enter ing lato any arrangements with existing railway companies that may appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Parliament to allow interest to the shareholders at the rate of 4L per cent. per annum on the amounts paid on their shares from the respective times of payment to the times of opening the railway. Applications for shares may be addressed, in the subjoined form, to any of the undermentioned Sharebrokers, viz.—Messrs. Hill, Fawcett and Hill, Threadneedle-street, London; Mr. David Kinnear, Edin burgh ; Messrs. W. Moore and Co.. Messrs. J. Gatliff and Co., Messrs.

Commencing at Lancaster, it will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergh, and Kirkby Stephen, and thence by the most practicable line to New castle. It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, which has hitherto been the principal passenger route from Lancaster to Newcastle. It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining districts of Durham and Northumberland, an the important towns and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, d and Lancaster. The entire length of the line 13 rich in mineral productions—coal, slate, limestone, marble, and other elements of a great local traffic abound, and cannot fail to make this one of the most remunerative projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the important towns on the termini is effected over any existing or pro jected scheme. It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make such alterations in the line, or the am unit of capital required, or other wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests of the Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Act to the opening of the line, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscriptions only. Prospectuses and torms of application for shares may be had of the Solicitors, and of the following brokers:— Messrs.

Starting from the Newcastle and North Shields Railway.station at Newcastle, the main line will proceed northward by Coxlodge, and thence, by nearly a straight lime, in the direction of Politeland and Betsey, by Lislesburt: to Woodburn, on the Reed, whence it will follow the course of that river, passing Horsely, Bird hope, Woolaw, Catcleugh, and Whitelee, to' Carter Fell, where the Border will be crossed by a tunnel into Scotland, and so on to Hawick, where it will join the before-mentioned lines from that town to Edinburgh and Glasgow. By this line the distance by railway between Newcastle and Edin burgh will be very materially shortened, whilst it will form the shortest and (except by the circuitous route of the east coast line), the only railway counnunicatioa front Newcastle to Glasgow. It is also intended, by a branch from the main line at Woodburn, down the Valley of the North Tyste, to join the Newcastle aid Car lisle Railway near Hexham, and thus, by the lines now proposed to be made, to form a direct communication from London to Scotland, by the Midland and shortest route. It will be observed, that the terminus at Newcastle has been altered ;--this has been done after mature consideration, and with the view of affording to the propoSed line the additional facility of ship ment, by means of the tunnel which the Newcastle and Shields Rail way Company are under engagements, by their Act, to snake from their line to the Quayside, and of the proposed branch from that line, at Percy Main, to the intended Docks at Coble Dean. The union which has just been effe,ted between the North Tyne Junction, and the Newcastle, Hawiek, Edinburgh, and Glasgow Junction Companies, giVes to the united Company the countenance and support of nearly the whole of the landed proprietors, as well as of the owners and lessees of the extensive coal fields and Ironworks in the districts through which the proposed line will pass. Amongst the various sources of revenue which will accrue to the proposed line, the following may be briefly adverted to :—Facilities will be afforded for the transit oflime and manure to, and of agricul tural products from, the extensive and valuable districts of North umberland, stretching in a north-westerly direction front Newcastle to the Scottish border, and the fertile counties of Roxburgh, Selkirk, Peebles, and Lanark ; whilst the transport of live stock, from the same - districts will be in an especial degree facilitated by this line, since the roads, used for generations by the Scot:ish drovers, will be in!immediate contact with it for a considerable portion of its length. The supply of coal to the populous manufacturing districts of Scot land, including the towns of Hawick, Jedburgh, Ke'so, Melrose, Galashiels, Peebles, Lanark, &c., has become an urgent necessity. And the proposed line, proceeding as it does frosts the extensive coal fields of the south-eastern portion of Northumberland, and through the hitherto unapproachable seams of coal up the course of the Reed, will become the principal means of supplying it, and thus derive an abundant source of revenue from its transit; as a proof of which, coals are at present shipping, in considerable quantities, from New castle to Glasgow, through the Caledonian Canal, at heavy tonnage rates, far exceeding the cost of transit by the proposed line, through the entire distance from Newcastle to Glasgow. An important feature, presented by this undertaking, is the de velopment, which will thereby be afforded, of extensive beds if minerals in the districts of the North Tyne and Reed, especially of limestone and ironstone ; the latter of great richness and superiority, for the manufacture of which extensive works are now in operation at Hareshaw and Ridsdale, and others are projected and in course of erection, the entire produce of which would be conveyed by the proposed line to Newcastle, for consumption and shipment By means of this line, the Tyne will become the most expeditious and economical place of shipment for all that portion of the manufac tures of Glasgow, and other manufacturing towns before mentioned, intended for the eastern coast of England and the northern ports of Europe. Lastly, the passenger traffic between the towns on the western side of Scotland, and the eastern and middle portions of England, added to the great, local, and general traffic on the several parts of the line, will form a large and constantly imcreasing item ofreturn, always aided by the consideration, that the line laid down for this railway will shorten the distance from the western and many other parts of Scotland, to all the eastern portions of England, by not less than thirty miles. From these united sources will flow an amount of income, that will abundantly compensate the shareholders for the outlay upon the line. A survey is rapidly proceeding, which the Committee - are assured by the engineers will be completed In time to deposit the requisite plans, and to enable them to obtain an Act in the next session of Par liament for, at least, that part of the line which will lay open a very considerable portion of the agricultural and mineral wealth, which will form so important a feature in the general value of the under taking.

It is confidently expected that the adjudication of the line will be made in November next, so that, even if the Com ,any should not succeed in obtaining the lease, the delay and loss of interest will be trifling. The short time, however, within which all the formalities must be completed, renders it imperative that the subscription be closed in a very few days ; therefore an early application must be made to en sure attention.

Bromyard, Oct. 23, 1845. JOHN BARNTHIY, Chairman. IItiORTHERN COUNTIES (ROSS and CRO NISIITY, SUTHERLAND, and CAITHNESS) DIRIXT RAILWAY Capital 1,500,0001., In 75,000 Shares of 201. rich 2s. Deposit 21. er Share. _ _ . . The Counties of Ross and Cromaity, Sutherlan(l, and Cairmess, form, probably, th largest and most important porti.ft of Great Bri tain for which the benefits of railway communicatit,n have ti , d yet been secured. In no part of the kingdom, considering their dhtance frnm the capital, - from the seats of manufacture, and from market,, have greater improvements of all kinds been made of late years, than in these counties. In arable and pastoral farming, the skill, enttyprise, and industry of the tenantry hare placed them on a level wi:li the best agriculturists and store masters, and have obtained for their corn, cattle, and sheep, the highest prices of the southern markets. To the opening up of the country by the roads and bridges of the Parliamentary Commissioners, execute I within the last 40 years, are these improvementschiefly attributable ; and their effect in in creasing the value of property in these counties is very remarkable. No means can be co effectual for promoting anal stimulating their further advancement, as by the introduction of railways, whereby the produce of these counties may be more rapioly and cheaply brought into the manufacturing and consuming districts of the kingdom.. To effect this most desirable end a Company is I.ing, formed, as has been already announced, to execute a railway commencing at the terminus of that which may be first completed to Invernes=, and thence proceeding northward, by Dingwall, through the county of Ross, and by or near Bonar, along the south or L:tirg side of the River Shin into Sutherland, and through that count v. by Auchintoul, into Caithness, in the eastern portion of which the 1 , 30 will diverge into two branches, terminating respectively at the towns of Thurso and Wick. The most direct practicable route, consistent with economy in the execution and working of the line, and with the rigid s of all parties, will be adopted throughout. In compliance with the desire of several large proprietors in the eastern district of the county of Ross, it has been determined that the trunk or main line shall proceed to Invergordon and Tain, and thence into Sutherland and Caithness. It is also intended to combine with the execution of the railway, and, in connexion with it, the enlargement and improvement of the present harbour of Invergordon (by arrangement with the proprietor), so as to make that anchorage, which possesses all the advantages of the celebrated Bay of Cromarty (still, as in ancient times, the largest and safest harbour of refuge on the east coast of Scotland), the port not only for the counties of Ross and Cromarty, but also for all the country northwards. The mutual advantages to Invergordon and thn whole country in respect to those imports and exports which must still be sea-borne, need only be alluded to to be appreciated. At no other place on the east coast of Scotland, from the Frith of Tay to Duncansby Head (the extremity of Caithness) could so good a harbour be possibly formed, there being at Invergordon 11 fathoms water (close to the present wooden jetty) at the lowest of spring tides, and perfect shelter, with singular facility for ingress and egress from and to the German Ocean ; and the expense of the requisite works will be com paratively very unimportant. Besides the importance of completing, as is thus contemplated, an unbroken line of railway transit for passengers and goods, and the rapid transmission of the mail from the capital to th e northern ex tremity of Scotland, the county of Orkney and Zetland will thereby, and with the aid of the powerful steamer about to be established be tween Thurso and Orkney, have a daily and speedy intercourse with the main land of Scotland, onward to the manufacturing districts of the kingdom, and to the metropolis. The prolongation of a railway from Inverness to Thurso on the one hand, and the admirable roadstead and harbour of Scrabster, which, from its natural position—admitting of vessels entering and departing with any wind—would, in connexion with the railway, command the Baltic and North American trade ; and, of the other, to the important and rapidly-improving town or Wick, the capital of the northern herring and deep sea fisheries, which require only such a stimulus as the proposed measure will supply to increase their value incalculably, by affording the ready and certain means of conveying their products into all parts of the country, is obviously an under taking of the greatest national importance, embracing the develop ment of the natural resources of the northern counties and their ex tensive sea coasts, the continued prosperity and wealth of their in habitants and the general trade, and, it may be hereafter, even the additional security of the empire. The most populous district in proportion to its extent in Ross and Cromarty, and until late years (considering its capabilities) the least improved, is that lying between the Muir of Ord on the south and the town of Cromarty on the north, commonly called "the Black Is , e." For the benefit of this district, a line is intended to be made from the point which may be found most desirable as a station with reference to the towns of Cromarty and Fortrose, and the harbour of Invergordon, to join the main line at the Muir of Ord, with a short branch to the nearest good station on the north side of the Ferry of Kessock. The Muir of Ord being now the plate where the greatest and roost frequent stock markets in Scotland, north of Falkirk, are held, it is of great importance to the western Highlands of Ross-shire that their communication with the Muir of Ord, as well as their access to the main line of railway, should be facilitated ; and it is, therefore, contemplated forming a branch line from the Muir of Ord to the upper part of the valley of Strathgarve, being the nearest point to the Lews at present accessible by a railway, and accommodating, at the same time, the extensive districts of Ross-shire lying to the north, west, and south-west of Strathgarve. The preliminary survey of the main line has bee,' eempletyl. Its whole length is about 150 miles, and the greater portion of it is of easy construction. _ _ . The proposed capital is considered adequate to cover every expense, including the completion of the harbour at Invergordon ; but should additional capital be found necessary for the proposed branches, power will be taken to raise it. The principal proprietors have already offered the land :.nd the building materials in the neighbourhood of the line, free from all charge, for the purposes of the railway. Not only will they, and the northern counties generally, benefit in calculably hy the completion of the work, but the shareholders may expect a fair, and in no long time, ample return for their investments in a line which has not, and can never have, a rival. Interest at 4 per cent. will be allowed on all calls paid up, and the Act incorporating the Company will provide that no shareholder shall be liable beyond the amount of his subscription. Until tke Act be obtained the liability of the subscribers will be restricted to their actual deposits ; and of these there shall not, in any event, be ex pended a larger sum than ss. per share without the express authority of a general meeting of the subscribers. The names of the Provisional Committee (embNeing 'those of the principal proprietors in the north) will be speedily published ; but meanwhile it may be stated, that the support the pr,. , ;ent undertaking has already received from individuals fully able to accomplish this most important work, leaves no doubt of its complete success. The acting engineers will be Joseph Mitchell, Esq., F.R.S.E., M.1.C.E., Inverness ; Allan Stevenson, Esq., Engineer of the Northern Lights' Commissioners, Edinburgh ; and J. F. Bateman, C.E., Manchester; with Thomas Page, Esq., M.I.C.E. West minster, as consulting engineer. A minute survey has been ordered of the whole line, and, when completed, a map of it will be published ; meanwhile, copies of the prospectus, and of the form of application for shares, will be obtained at the National Rank of Scotland, or any of its Bratches, and at the offices of the London and Westminster Bank, and of Me srs. Glyn, Hallifax, Mills, and Co., Lombard-street ;for from anf of the following gentlemen, to whom communications and application; for shares, in the form annexed, may be addressed, viz.:—William Mackenzie, Esq., o f Muirton, W.S., Edinburgh ; James Sutherland, Esq., Provost of Inverness ; Patrick Grant, Esq , County Clerk of Inverness ; Hugh Innes Cameron, Esq., Provost of Dingwall; Crawford Ross, Esq., Cadboll by Fearn ; David Ross, Esq., Commissary Clerk of Ross shire, Tain ; George Gunn, Esq..

The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of rail way to connect the Northern, Eastern, and South Essex Railways, by means of a steam ferry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with Tunbrioge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton. It is ,o - itemplated to proceed from the Eastern Counties Rail way at or near Harlow station to Tilbury, crossing the river by a steam floating.bridge to Gravesend, passing by Cobham, Snodland, ALdling, and Hadlow to Tunbridge, thence by the South_ Eastern Railway to Tunbridge passing Uckfield to Lewes, and thence joining the Brighton, Lewes, nd Hastings Rail way to Brighton, Ar inspection of the map will clearly show the gicat import ance of this railway, whether considered in a local or national point ct view, forming as it will a most useful chain of local corn inunicaLion for the fertile and populous tracts through which it passes. It wi;' bring the Northc-rn and Easter: Counties, the mouth of tlia That, e 3, alai North Kent, into direct communication, by way of Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus form, in con junctiob with the railways now in progress on the Continent, the shortest FossiLle route to Paris and the Mediterranean. By tile railway the large population of the North Eastern Cour:- tics, ntraThering nearly two million 3, will have a direct and easy communication with the whole of the populous and important counties of Kent and Sussex, without going round to London, and thereby avoiding the inconvenience arising from the unconnected lines not th and south of the metropolis. The utility of this line to the naval and tailitary service, both In times of peace and war, for the conveyance of troops and stores, is evident. With the existing railways, and those now in pr.gress in Kent and Sussex, a most complete system of local communication will be effected ; and as such, the project has been received with the mast distinguished approbation and pledges of support from the principal proprietors along the hue, and the Corporation of Gravesend have promised their entire sancti.m to, and will cordially support it. The ground has been carefully suryeyetl, and found t• present no difficulties to the formation of a good working line. The existing local traffic has been ascertained to be amply suf ficient to fuifil the requirements of the undertakinr ; but a !age accession of valuable traffic cannot fail t• be the result of the increased accommodation thus afforded to the public, and rendering the undertaking one of the most important as well as productive lines of railway in that part of the country. The Committee reserve power to themselves to fortn branches from Snodland to Chatham and Maidstone. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Parliament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum en all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening e t the line.

Spring-gardens The attention of the public and of the civic autkerities of this great metropolis, through the powerful medium of the public press, has upon several occasions been excited by the detail of numerous and almoit daily occurring accidents on the river Thames. With a view to abate, If not altogether remove an evil of enormously grow ing magnitude, the dangerous navigation the river, the present . project is put before the public. Although the chief cause of this danger is acknowledged to be the blocking up the navigation, by the numberless tiers of colliers and their attendant barges, and their ingress and egress to and from their station, still no efficient remedy has been hitherto proposed. It is admitted by all that the only mode by which this great and dangerous nuisance can be removed is by a dock, at a considerable distance from the Pool, and a suitable and most convenient site has been selected, in every way adapted for the object contemplated ; and which not only combines facilities, in no ordinary degree, for coat and coasting vessels to enter at all times of the Vie, at a dis tance far removed from the Pool (about three miles below Woolwich), but also at a locality, by the aid of a railway, from which tile various produce may be transmitted within half an hour into the very heart of the City. It is proposed to construct a dock at a point in that part of the river, four and half miles below ltiackwall, called Gallion's Reach, and thence to carry a railway font* miles long through East Hans, Plaistow, and West Ham, to the Eastern Counties Railway at Strat ford, where it will join the Northern and Eastern Railway, and form a central point from which goods may be transmitted to the various parts of the country which those railways traverse, and to London. The spot at which the dock and works will be constructed has been selected as being a part of the river where at the lowest state of the tide there will always be a sufficiency of water to permit the ingress and egress of vessels, as a reference to the Admiralty charts will de monstrate ; by this arrangement they will be enabled to discharge their cargoes, leave dock, and take in ballast (which is in the imme diate vicinity where the Trinity House dredge is generally working), almost before they could have even reached their ordinary station in the Pool, as at present. The great saving in time thus effected, it is manifest, will be of the utmost consequence and advantage to the owners of these vessels ; and by materially decreasing the cost, would enable them to supply the consumer at a much less rate than at present. It is intended also to erect a sea-wall and wharf, 1,500 feet long, for the accommodation of passengers by steam-packets and other vessels passing to and fro. The economy of time thus effected will be very considerable ; for by the aid of this railway (bringing Shore ditoli and the intended terminus at Finsbury within twenty minutes) nearly three-quarters of an hour will be saved over every other mode of conveyance. It is moreover to be remarked that from this spot Gravesend can be reached in forty minutes, consequently the time consumed, from Finsbury to Gravesend by this route, would be about one hour. As the Eastern Counties Railway will be united to all the other great trunk lines, by means of the northern and southern connecting , line just projected, it may be justly said that the Steam-Packet Wharf now proposed will be the only metropolitan Continental ter , minus. By the construction of this railway, with its very important ad junct, a coal and coasting dock, a most valuable addition will be made to the Eastern Counties revenue- by calling into existence a traffic which, under any other circumstances, could not be created ; thereby developing to the proprietors of that extensive line that its capabilities have hitherto lain dormant, and only required the neces sary extension to the Thames with a dock to secure to it a national depot for produce for all parts of the globe to he disseminated through the numerous and increasing extensions of the parent line. The carriage of coal alone would add no insignificant sum to the hitherto declared dividends of the Eastern Counties, whey it is con sidered that more than two and a half millions of tons are annua.ly imported into the pert of London, which amount would be greatly increased by means of the facility of railway transmission thus afforded. It may be proper to remark that it would be difficult to find, so near the metropolis, a four miles course in every sense so eligible for a railway, so free from obstruction, and so cheap of construction, that the coal traffic of itself would yield - an ample return for the outlay. _ _ Prospectuses, plans, and forms of application for shares, may be had of the Solicitors, at the temporary Offices of the Company, 31, 3foorgate-street, London, and of Mr. D.
