Griffin, Esq., C.E. country has already been inspected, under the directiOn of the -engineer, and it is found that there aro no engineering difficulties of a serious character to be overcome ; and indeed the grater portion et the line presents a course extremely favourable for a railway, the gradients being very easy. Near the point of division at Malvern the Hereford line will awe a portion of the Malvern range by one or more tunnels; bat the whole length of the tunnelling will not much exceed one mile. Fecal the other side of Malvern to Hereford the surface ofthe ommtry lb as favourable as could be desired. The Gloucester line, from the point of division to its terminus, will .pass through a country • peculiarly favourable, the sulfa* Woe throughout nearly one continuous level. With regard to the immediate local advantages offered by tbe proposed railway, it will effect the must direct communication be. tween the cities of Worcester and Hereford, and Gloucester sad Worcester, and between those cities and the delightful watering place and favourite summer residence of Great Malvern, to which it will also give an easy avid expeditious access from other popolous but mere remote districts. The important market town of Ledbury, with the rieh corn, Pratt. and hop district around it, will also be brought into closer and risers profitable connexion with the three cities ; and it cannot fall to mate a considerable addition to the traffic between Worvader and the Pert of Gloucester. The facilities presented by the proposed railway for increasing and developing traffic in a more general and national point of view, are of a very extended character. Joining the Forest of Dean and Mon mouth Railways, it will afford a ready means of transit to South Wales, and by its junction with the Oxferd, Worcester, and Waver hampton line, and with the projected line to Port Dynnlaete It will give railway communication with *,..d0 manufacturing and mining districts of the north of England— -especially of South Staffirdshi:e and Worcestershire, and also wP.711 North Wales and Inland; and by means of the Great Western P.allway, which it joins at Gloucester, It will complete an unbroken broad gauge line from Wolverhampton to Exeter In the one direct9M, and f Pembroke to Welverlitunptou in the other. It will effect a considerable saving in distance Isetweea the port of Glouceafel and Wolverhampton, and all parts of the 'earth ; it will be the Leareat possible route from late extreme west of 1.10- land; and from South Wales, to all places north of 'Wolverhampton. The enumeration of the places and districts to be traversed by the propeced line, and a description of its course, sufficiently Indicate that It may fairly be expected to command a remunerating amount cif traffic. r r ! i tt o n a t ct a w n ri d‘hu ng lkydistkt amides It ex wpeilrlt,sudprpalywtno from the mining a ofGloucester South Staffordshire and Worcestershire ; and will still Maher dove. lop the resources of those district s b y increased facility of eemrnust cation with their natural port. The importance of this branch of the traffic can scarcely be over - est imated : in one p ortion of th e district alone — v i a ., between Wolverhampton and Steurbridge, there are about 100 blast furnaces in work, p roducin g nea rly 500,000 tons 111 t , r , d i m i re . of ) pig Iron annually, and it is admitted that tile want of railway fecal-' ties have hitherto greatly hindered the development of an Important' export trade from this district. The works at Droitwich and Nets Prior can furnish any quantity of salt. The carpet maeufactoriee 44( Kidderminster, the iron and glass works at Stourbridge, Dudley, 3 their populous neighbourhood, will also supply an important tunet - 511 of traffic—certainly far beyond that now carried on with the present insufficient means of transit between those places and the district to be affected by the proposed line. The Hereford branch of the line offers to the agriculturists of the counties of Hereford, Radnor, and Brecon the advantages of sheep and ready means of access t• their principal markets. It will be as important advantage to them to have their cattle, corn, hope, fruit. wool, and other produce, speedily and cheaply conveyed to the grad markets of Worcester and Birmingham, and the towns in the eentre of the great manufacturing population of Staffordshire and W 1 1! es tershire ; the advantages, toe, manufacturing equal facilities for the conveyance of the I:linens and produce of the north to the rural districts , ed line, risk , - he proposed The population of the districts affected by on the t one band, and from will be mutual, as the line koning from Wolverhampton to Gloucester not loss thee 40400 ; end the same place to Hereford on the other, is the line must be fed by from the position of the country traversed,ed, on either side.

This line will diverge from the line of the Great Eastorn 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 eider districts has been entirely left unproyided 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 aemmunicatien between Leominster, Broinyard, 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 London, oompared with other lines, by upwards of3o 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 Hine of their respective payments, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscrip tions.

Nicoll); Registered Paletot for winter wear is a garment that is warm withogt being heavy, which, even for travelling, the necessity of wrapping Up in a cumber some manner, has of late years been found needless, 44411001 1 being so much shortened by present railway and other conveyailiniS. Nicoll's Registered Paletot, used alone as a morning frock coat, not over another, is found to be a most agreeable garment for walking exercise ; and from the skilful way it is formed, it does not confine the chest or shoulders, but has an equally neat and -,ntlemanly appearance when worn in cold wet w2ather, or in the e 7ening over a morning or dros s coat. The price is three guineas, fiat for summer wear being two. It may be ob served that .1:::°" principles are retained that has obtained for the Registered the patronage of more than ono of the Crowned Heads of The Prince Consort, Prince George of Cambridge, the thief members of the Court, prin cipal families in the kingdonl, it is well known are distinguished in their taste for perfect nea;Z ss of tered Paletot having therefore necessarily dress. The Re excluifd Anything vulgar or outré in appearance, would alone re commend itself to the liak) 2 .o of the respectable members of the middle classes, was it not Anther as sisted by its moderate price , being for read y money. It May be ob tained of the principal tailors of the chief provincial cities ; but as only most of the respectable firms are appointed agents, any attempt on the part of others will thus by the public be at once detected, and such attempts, when known, will be visited by the penalties provided in the Act beforementioned ; and in furtherance of wWeh a reward of fifty pounds will be paid fOr information that may lead to the conviction of such parties by H.

Deposit 21. 155. per Share. PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT. The IMportance of connecting remote parts of E..gland by Rail ways, witlf the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns and distrktS, ran scarcely be better exemplified than by the Line w hi c h i s h ow prop. _d to form a short and direct channel of inter course between Oxfo:d and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines now before the public will make Oxford at the north, and Salisbury at the south of the intended Railroad the central points from which various radii will diverge to the north-west, north, and north-east of the former, and to the east, smith, and west of the latter; and the proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the coarse of Railway from the north-eastern parts of - the island, requires the appliance now suggested to effect 4 eOnaPiete means of transit to the western and south-western counties. The Oxford and Salisbury Direct BailWity, in addition to the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at large, by preferring a direct line of committee cation be tween the north-eastern and western and south-western parts of England, will afford to the borough of Abingdon, the market towns of vantage, Hungerford, and Ludgershall, and the adjacent villages, an important railway acecinnfodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they are seated stand in much need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be , tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial populfttion of the kingdom. The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of Abingdon. Their means and opportunities of competing with the more fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di rect channels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same remark applies in some degree to the flirt town of Wautage, which, as well as Hungerford an d Lud,ger 11, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced by railway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commence the proposedu ne at Oxford. and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingd , n a direct raU road to London:: By continuing the projected railway to Wantage, the same facility of triusit to London will be afforded to that place ; and a perfect line of road from the north-eastern counties will, by a junc tion with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, throuh the towns wh:ch have been named, liungeriord and Ludgers hall t o Salisbury, and thZince to tke south a nd western ports an d die tricts. A map of the line, and a sta tistical report of the whole country intended to be traversed, is in c ourse of preparation, and with the names of an influential provisional Committee, will very shortly , be published. In the meantime, further information May be ob tained from Messrs. Elinslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-stiaat, - London, solicitors to the undertaking , to %tem, at present, applica Ilea for shares may be made. (PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED.)

This line of railway, whic h is about sixty-five miles lu l eng th , i s intended to commence at Uttoxeter (the terminus of the proposed Derbyshire, Staffordshire , a nd Worcestershire Junction Railw ay) and to proceed to Sheffield and Huddersfield. It will form a direct com munication between two of the most import ant manufacturing and missing districts in E ng land, viz., South Staffordshire, Huddersfield, and Sheffield, and Rotherham in Yorkshire ; the South Staffordshire portion including Dudley, Tipton,Walsall, Hasten, Wednesbury, and Wolverhampton. This line will also open a direct railway communication between Leeds, Huddersfield, and the West Riding of Yorkshire and Kidder minster, Worcestershire, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Taunton, and Exeter, and with Lud low, Leominster, Hereford, Brecon, Car diff, Ncath, Swansea, Llanelly,Caermarthen, Milford Haven, Fish guard, Aberystwith, and with P o rt Dynnllaen, the future ou t port for Ireland. And also the most direct communication between Leeds and Southampton. caselt canal the pr proceed ee b t e l P tli r r e o l u n l e 4 E I 1 as ton and by the pro moters line will pass nearly alo n g the Uttoxeter and Caldon Canal to a point oter snoefa this r eutveoro ( bi t k , in Mayfield to Ashbourne, thence near Dovedale, Buxton, and Chapel en-la-Frith, Woodhead and Holmfirth to Huddersfield, where it will join the Huddersfield and Leeds Railway, and so to Tliirsk. It will open new mines, in addition t o those already in work, of lead, coal, iron ore, barytes, and carbon iferous and magnesian limestone on the route, in addition to forming a direct, speedy. and cheap communica tion between the important tow ns above mentioned. Arrangements have been made with other com p a nies to run into this line from Sheffield. This co m p an y reservers the right to rai se additional capital to extend the line to Leeds. Many of the above-mention ed mineral productions are eesential to the mining districts of South St affordshire and Sheffield. The North Staffordshire and Derbyshire Limestone is much superior to that of and producing ter Of a equal to a ton of the latter) , South Staffordshire in the fluxion of iron (15 a cbet wt. of thquality e former be m ing ferial. At present, the mode of transit is very circuitous and expen sive, the line from the Caldon Alines having to go by canal round by Etruria, Leek, and the Potteries, to the Dudley and surrounding furnaces, when, by this railway, it would be taken in a straight Hue country wod have an entirel new trade opened to them. The iron old Is also becoming very scarce, stone in the ul neighbourhood of y Sheffi to them ; and the Ashbourne, Cr omford„ Worksworth, and Bakewell exists in South Staffordshire; and thi route of this line would fur nish a cheap and good supply, at present not worked, and without li i o e - fai ad - and great quantities are introduced from Scotland; the same scarcity mg l, o?

It is, therefore, next to Impossible to calculate the immense traffic which would pour (10W11 this line and the Derbyshire, Stafford shire, 'aid Worcestershire Junction Railway. The calculations which have been made show a very large profit. . . There are large lead and slate quarries on the lino which only want an outlet like the one now contemplated to bring them into fall work. The coal is of a superior quality. There arc also extensive barytes and paint-works at Ashbourne, Cromford, and other places on the line. The-scenery of Derbyshire is the resort of vast numbers of tourists; and particular care will be taken, in passing of the line near Dovedale, not to interfere with or change its beautiful and romantic character . . The convenience, therefore, which this line will afford must necessarily cause a great influx of passengers, both on business and pleasure. Ironstone is not so abundant in the South as in North Staffordshire, and vast quantities are sent by the tardy, circuitous. and expensive canal company, which this and other Hues of railway meeting at Uttoxeter will remedy. The gypsum formation runs from Staffordshire to the Humber, and the demandpurpo purposes alongthis article el l e in f e o w r i b li u b il e di g n r g e , a a t g . agricultural, and manufac turing. Tho timber from the neighbourhood of the Neodwood Forest, Banks, Bagots Woods, and Kingston Woods, upwards of 4,00 d acres, chiefly finds its way to the Manchester market by a like objectionable route of tardy and circuitous canal convey ance ; whereas this line would open a direct, easy, and cheap communication to new markets. The line has been viewed prior to A detailed survey, and there are not more than ordinary engineering difficulties. In consequence of the late Parliamentary decisions, it is intended to make-this line on the broad 'gauge principle, but the pro moters do not pledge themselves absolutely to do so.

This Company is formed for the purpose of carrying into effect an agreement which has been concluded with the Monmouthshire Canal Company for the purchase and transfer of the whole of the Important interest of that extensive and valuable property. The Monmouthshire Canal Company was first incorporated by an Act passed in the year 1793. Two subsequent Acts have extended the sphere of the Company's operations, and their present tram roads communicating with most of the great iron and coal works of the district exceeds fifty miles in length, whilst the extent of their two branches of canal is twenty-two miles. During the last forty-five years the concern has continued to be one of a highly profitable description, the average annual dividend paid to the shareholders having been during the whole of that period at the rate of 71. 12s. per cent., and during the last twenty-five years the average annual dividend has exceeded 101. per cent., being 101.. per share on the original 100/. shares. The value of these shares has of course increased with the im proved dividends, and the purchase-money now agreed to be paid for the whole of the canal property is at the rate of 2001. per share. The purchase will secure to the Monmouthshire Railway Com pany the whole of the present profitable trade of the Canal Company, with the certainty of a very great increase therein, as the consequence of the intended application of the modern principle of railway loco motive power to the present train-roads of the Canal Company. Thus, beyond its prospective advantages, this undertaking is distin guished from most of the numerous projects now before the public, in this—that an immediate return will arise to the shareholders from the , present works of the Canal Company now in full operation. For a long time past large sums have been annually expended by the Canal Company in solid improvements of their property. The last projected improvement is the formation of a line of railway upon the modern construction from Newport to Pontypool, a distance of ten miles, and to carry out this object an Act of the Legislature passed during the last session, and which railway forms a part of the highly valuable purchase made by this Company. Although by the Newport and Pontypool Railway Act a reduction has been made in the amount of tonnage hitherto payable to the Canal Company, this will not lessen tile actual value of the property, for it is undeniable that much of the natural traffic of the Company has been.diverted into other channels solely in consequence of the high standard of the rates of tonnage. The recent Act confers on the Company the power which they did not previously possess, of becoming carriers on their lines, and it is only reasonable to calcu late that by the judicious use of this power and the vigorous prose cution of the improvements of the existing tram-roads the traffic so alienated will be recovered, as well as much now traffic created. Thus, whilst the value of the canal property will be materiall en hanced, the freighters will at the same time reap all the advantages designed for them in the recent Parliamentary revision of the tonnages. It 1; further proper to state that the branch lines intended to have been made and purchased by the Canal Company to the iron, coal, and other works, will also be formed, thereby securing a consider able Increase of trade upon the main lines. Owing mainly to the obstacles in the way of cheap and quick transit, the endless resources of Monmouthshire have as yet been but very partially developed ; but, in the face of these obstacles, the quantity of iron now annually exported from Newport is not less than 200,000 tons, and of coal 700,000 tons. The port of Newport 'Assesses an extensive trade in the exporta tion of tin „plate and fire-brick, in the importation of iron ores from Cornwall, Lancashire, and Cumberland, and of the agricultural pro duce from the western counties of England, together with a cous'der able and improving trade in foreign and English timber, bark, and Irish provision. . . Shares to the amount of 20,0001. in the Newport Dock form part of the purchase of the canal interest. These extensive docks have been constructed in the best possible manner, with a lock capable of admitting vessels of the largest class. In proof of this it may bo stated that vessels of 1,060 tone registered tonnage have with ease entered and been loaded in the dock. The Canal Company have not hitherto afforded any accommoda tion whatever to passenger traffic, consequently no revenue has been derived from this usually fertile source of profit, but reference need oily bo made to the dense resident population engaged in the 13 , 04, tin, and coal works 'of Monmouthshire to prove that a very great passenger traffic would be the result of the introduction into these districts of the modern railway facilities. The general extension of railway communication contemplated in the neighbouring districts of Wales and England, will, in connexion with the lines of this Company, most advantageously open to Mon mouthshire uninterrupted intercourse with all other portions of the kingdom, Thus, whilst facilities hitherto unknown will be created for the exportation of the mineral wealth of the locality, the freest admission will be given to the agricultural produoe awl manufac tures of other parts of the king,tom, for both Of which a constant de mand exists in the mineraldistrictS, In the allotment of shtres, tetibrenee will be given to Proprietors in the AlunioUthshire (Jana , to Share! olden; in the Newport, Aber gavemiy, and Hereford Railway, and to lanclownera on the line.

The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway is a direct line from London to Manchester, coming from London to Rugby, along the London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby to Hinck ley through Market-Bosworth and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to Derby, thence to Ashbourne, by Leek to Macclesfield, and along the Mac clesfield and Stockport, and Stockport and Manchester Railways, into Manchester. A branch to Buxton Is in contemplation. The principle of this railway is to obtain a direct through line be tween some of the most important districts in the kingdom with the least possible amount of new railway, and, consequently, the smallest expenditure of capital. It will also establish the shortest direct communication between Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns on the North Midland Railway and London. The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway, will open a direct communication between Manchester and Derby, and will consider ably shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham and Manchester and Leicester. The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi cation from that town to London, which has been so long considered desirable by the inhabitants. The e;ms will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester field branch of the North Midland Railway is made. The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, in connexion with the Oxford and Rugby, arid Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Rail way, forms a direct Manchester and Southampton line.
