SECRETARY—John Trevor, Esq . _ . This Railway will commence at the important town of Wolver hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, Trysail and claverley, to the manutacturing town of Bridgnorth ; from thence it will continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to Ludlow, and there fall into other projected lines to all parts of Eng land, North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty two miles. G REA.T EASTERN and WESTERN RAIL WAY. Abergavenny, Sept. 29, 1845. At a MEETING of the INHABITANTS of this town and neigh bourhood, convened by public requisition, and held here this day, The Rev. WM. POWELL, Vicar of Abergavenny, in the Chair, It was proposed by Mr. DANIEL, seconded by Mr. Isaac, and unani- It will afford direct communication between Ludlow, Bridgnorth and Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c.; and, by the South Staffordshire Junction Railway, give to those towns and districts the most direct route for passengers and goods to and from the Central, North Eastern and Eastern parts of the Kingdom, and from which those towns have hitherto been excluded by every project of the day. It will convey to the agricultural districts of Herefordshire and South Shropshire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow, coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and the Clee Hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those ne cessary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle, sheeje, cider, wool, hops and other agricultural productions, as also timber from the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart of the mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fail to pro duce au immense traffic. T HE SHEFFIELD, WORTLEY, SILKSTON, and WAKEFIELD RAILWAY. mously resolved— That this meeting, being deeply convinced of the necessity and ad vantage of direct railway communication between the town of Abergavenny and the great iron district of Monmouthshire and Breconshire, and finding that this district is embraced in the grand scheme of the Great Eastern and -Western Railway Company, does most cordially approve of its plans, and is determined to render it all the aid it can command. Notice is hereby giren, that no further A PPL IC ATI ONS for SHARES in this COMPANY can be received after THURSD‘V, the 9th day of October instant, immediately after which the al lotment will take place.

SECRETARY, pro tem—John Devereux Pugh, Esq. This line is intended to be made from Wrexham, through Holt and Nantwich to Crewe. Its length will be about "3 miles, and it will be a direct communication between the most populous district of North Wales, and one of the most valuable mineral fields in the kingdom ; and Crewe and the manufacturing districts of Cheshire, Lancashire, Stafford. shire, and Yorkshire, being a nearer route than any now existing or contemplated, by upwards of 12 miles. It is satisfac torily proved by the evidence of persons best qualified to give a correct opinion on the subject, that the district of Wrexham (even exclusive of what may be called the Ruabon district) possesses in exhaustible supplies of coal, ironstone, lime, and lead, of the best quality ; the extent of the coal-field is about eight miles long by two broad, and the limestone is of much greater extent ; the ver tical section of coal presents 14 successive strata of coal, of which 10 are workable; these strata givo 40 feet 6 inches of solid coal, supposing there to be 15 cwt. of coal to the cubic yard, and deduct. ing one-tenth for old workings, and one.third for waste, faults, dc., there re:nains 18,817,920 tons of coal in a square mile.—(see Evidence given before Parliament on the North Wales Mineral Railway Bill.) The value of the ironstone in the whole area of 16 miles is esti. mated at 35,400.994/. The importance of connecting this wealthy d:strict with the towns before named is too obvious to require n moment's comment. By means of the cheap and expeditious transit provided by this line, the coke manufactured in the neighbsurliced of Wrexham (which is proved to be superior to any other, see evi dence before mentioned) will be conveyed to Crewe, for the 191[14 of the numerous railways centering at that place, at one.third the present price; the revenue to be derived from this source must be immense. The whole district through which this line will pass is DOW supplied with coal, coke, lime, and slates from the tallies and quarries in the neighbourhood of Wrexham at a very hieli price, in consequence of the carriage being so expensive. The average prices (per ton) of coal, coke, and lime, at Natitivlch and Crewe. exclusive of carriage, are as follows : At Nantwich, Coal 91 Coke ... l3 4 Lime ... l6 0 At Crewe, Coal JP Coke „ Lime This railway will afford the means of supplying coal, lime, and coke at one.third the above prices. Among the multifarious railway schemes now before the public, the most legitimate and also the most likely to yield a fair remu nerative return on the outlay, are the traverse railways projected with the object of supplying the existing want of railway transit across the country. The line will not interfere with any parks or property of an or namental character, and will be constructed at much less than the average cost. The Provisional Directors have no reason to expect any effectual opposition to a measure so obviously beneficial both to the public and the landed proprietors, and so powerfully supported by those best qualified to form an opinion of its merits. With respect to engineering, the line presents no difficulty whatever, the gradients are very easy, and the earth-work light. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest, at 4/. per cent, per annum, on the deposits as well as upon all future calls from the date of the passing of the Act until the opening of the railway, and no shareholder will be Fable beyond the amount of his subscription. In the allotment of shares preference will be given, to a certain extent, to the proprietors of land through which the line will pass, anti to shareholders in the Manchester and Birmingham, the Man. chester and Birmingham Continuation, the North Wales Mineral, and the Staffordshire Potteries, Liverpool and Manchester Direct Railways.

One principal feature in this projection is, that as either Ludlow or Bridgnorth will lie in the direct route of one of the projects to be pro posed to Parliament in the next session, for the most direct commu nication between Ireland and the metropolis, this line will thereby , afford to passengers the easiest communication to and from the cen tral parts of the kingdom. It is satisfactory to the promoters to state that they have the sanc tion of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire Junction, and the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no project has been announced in competition with its acknowledgedclaim on public o support. The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and can be constructed at a moderate cost, and has obtained the approval of the landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly pro tected. „ .

This important line will commence at Brighton, and (passing through or contiguous to the towns of Steyning, Petworth, Mid hurst, Petersileld and Alresford) will join at the Andover Road sta tion of the South-Western Railway, the proposed Southampton Manchester and Oxford Junction. An arrangement has been entered Into with the latter Company, and it is proposed by means of their projected line, that the Brighton and Cheltenham Railway shall proceed through Hunger ford to Swindon. From Peterstleld a sho t branch will be made to Chichester where, nearly at the same point of junction, the London and Ports mouth direct will inter.ect the line in its way to Portsmouth. From Sw.ndon it is proposed to proceed by the Manchester and Southamptm Railway to Chelt nham, and the North of England by the Derbyshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire Junction, or other existing and contemplated lines. On reference to the map, it will be seen that the primary object to be obtained by the formation of this line will be the immediate connexion of the northern, western, and the whole of the manufac turing counties, and North and South Wales, with the southern coast• and the populous and fashionable towns of Brighton, Hastings, and Dover. It is unnecessary to observe on the daily increasing traffic betwe6i Brighton and Dieppe, which the railroad from the latter place to Rouen, and thence to Paris, must greatly augment; thus, by means of the projected line, a direct communication with France, either from Brighton or Dover, will be opened with the northern comities of England. It is obvious that with these advantages the traffic must neces sarily be large, the line passing through the centre of Sussex, con taining a population of about 300,000, at present almost devoid of railway accommodation. Power will lee applied for in the Act to increase the capital, f necessary, to alter the line, or to make such deviations or branches therefrom as may be deemed necessary ; also for the purposes of amal gamation with other Companies, should the same be found desirable. The Company reserves to itself the option of adopting the broad or narrow gauge, or the principle of atmospheric traction, if o preferable. No further call beyond the deposit will be made until the Act shall be obtained. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to parties locally interested, aad to the shareholders in the lines with which this Company will be connected. Application for shares may be made to the Secretary, and to the following Sharebrokers, of whom pros;)ectuses, with maps ache line, may be obtained:—London—Messrs.

SECRETARY — Mr. John C. Sommers. In submitting this undertaking to the public, the promoters are influenced no less by a conviction of its importance as a direct con necting line between the important towns of Chichester and Ports mouth and the metropolis, than by its grand national importance in affording a direct communication between the two great military and naval arsenals of Great B Hain —Portsmouth and Chatham. The projected undertaking, by proceeding to the two termini at Chichester and Portsmouth. will extend the facilities of communica• tton with the coast branches of railways along the south of England, connecting itself with Brighton to the eastward, and Southampton towards the west. By the main line falling into the Brighton Rail way the advantage of two termini in London will be secured—the one at the Bricklayers' Arms, and the other at London •bridge—the latter of which, from its proximity to the Custom House, and the several docks on the Thames, is acknowledged to be the best position for a London terminus for merchandise of all descriptions. The line of railway intended to be constructed by this Company will commence at or near the Redhill station near Reigate, on the Lon don and Brighton Railway, a distance of 21 miles from London bridge. . In its course to Portsmouth it will pass through or near Reigate, Newdigate, Cupel, Ocklcy, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranley, Alfold, Billinghurst, Wisborough-green, Plaistow, Haslemere, Chiddingfold, North Chapel, Kirdford, Petworth, Midhurst, Chilgrove, Stoughton, Racton, Westbourne, and Emsworth, at or near which last •mentioned place this projected II .e will join the Chichester and Portsmouth Rail way to Portsmouth. A branch is proposed to be made from Dorking to join the main line at or near Capel. By this course the entire distance to travel between London and Portsmouth will be abridged to 73 miles, a distance considerably shorter than that by which any line hitherto projected between London and Portsmouth has proposed to pass, and also pursuing a route more populous and productive than any hitherto presented to public Llotiee. It will involve the construction of only 45 miles of railway tb complete the course between the Redhill station (near Reigate) and Emsworth.

The distance between Chichester and London by this routo will be 62 miles, and trains will run direct between London and Chichester. Inarantch as the existing line of railway to Dover branches off from the London and Brighton Railroad at Reigate, this projected line will open up a communication by railroad between Portsmouth and Dover. From an inspection of the map, it will be seen that the Redidll station, near Reigate, lies nearly in a direct line between Ports mouth and:Chatham, and in pursuing the line of communication be tween the last-mentioned naval and military depot, this line will pass through or near - to the towns of Bletchingley, Godston, Limpsfield, Westerham, Seven Oaks, Ightham, Town Mailing, Wrothmn, Off ham, Snodland, Lower Hailing, and Wouldham. The distance between Chatham and Reigate will involve the making of 31 miles of railroad, and the line of railroad between Portsmouth and Chatham will extend over 82 miles. To the. naval and military establishments 'of this kingdom the construction of this projected line will afford the most important fa cilities in the transit of troops, stores, baggage, &c., diminishing the tardy course of communication which at present necessarily exists between Portsmouth and Chatham, at present usually extend ing over the space of two days, and placing them in that direct com munication with each other which, in two hours, or thereabouts, will enable the journey between them to be made. The formation of a direct line oft railway between Portsmouth anti Chatham will afford the opprunity- of establishing, by an electric telegraphic, that celerity of communication so important to be Wattled between places of national importance. Tim warm support of the principal landowners on the greater part of the lin: is pledged to this undertaking. The Provisional Committee abstain from making any special re ference to the contemplated profit to result from carrying into effect this undertaking, feeling convinced that the extent of traffic through the populous and rich districts over which this line and itS branches are projected to pass is sufficiently known, and is decisive of the inutility of all comment in that respect.

Tbis railway will commence at Sheerness in conjunction with a 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 File 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 extens'on to Margate. By this project Margare 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 transhipsment 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, Mar,ate, 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 line 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 new railway only will embrace all the above important objects—viz., from Sheerness to Favercham 12 miles. Faversham to Herne Bay . ....... • • . Thence to Sarr . The extension to Margate ........ • • •• • 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. The Committee reserve the power of making branches to Canter bury and to Deal, if circumstances shout t hereafter render it ad visable. Applications for prospectuses, maps, and shares (in the usual form) may be made to the Solicitors or Secretary, at the temporary offices, 24, Golden-square, or at No. 3, Hercules-court, City.

The mail] line of this railway will be about fifteen miles in length. Commencing at the Wortley Station, on the Sheffield and Manchester Railway, it will pass through the town of Silkston, and near to Dodworth, accommodating the whole of that valuable mining district with the most reads outlet for its celebrated coal to all parts of the kingdom. It proceeds by Darton, Chapelthorpe, and Sandal, to Wakefield, where it will join the Leeds and Man. cheater, and the newly projected railways to Leeds and Harrogate, and to Pontefract and Goole. The inhabitants of Barnsley will also be accommodated by a branch to that town, from the main line, giving them direct and easy communication with the north and south. The distance from Leeds to Sheffield by this line, and its con nexions northwards, will be only thirty-two miles ; by the present route it is thirty-eight miles. The distance from Wakefield to Sheffield by this line will be only twenty-three miles ; it is now, by way of Normanton, thirty-one miles ; and by way of Oakenshaw, twenty-eight miles, between two and three of which are by omni bus. Besides this saving of actual distance, the tedious stoppages at Masborough and Normanton, the delays of which are often equal to twenty miles of travelling, will be avoided, A careful survey has been made, by an experienced surveyor, who reports that the line from Wakefield to Silkston will run with easy gradients nearly on the surface of the ground for , the greater part of the way ; and that. the only work of any mag nitude will be a tunnel, about six hundred yards long, at Woolley. common, which will occasion in the approach to it from Wake field an ascending gradient of 1 in 108. The works between Silkston and Wortley are of a heavier character, but in no part will the gradient be more than lin 112. The ruling gradient will be about 1 in 180. This undertaking, in connexion with other railways, is in tended to accomplish the following very important objects :—First, a direct line of communication between London and Leeds, the Northern Counties and Scotland. Secondly, the opening of the extensive and valuable coalfields of Silkston, Dodworth, Barns ley, and the adjacent districts, to the manufacturing arid other towns of Yorkshire, the ports of Hull, Selby, Goole, Great Grimsby, and Boston, and also to the Metropolis, and the Mid land, and Western counties. Thirdly, the accommodation of the inhabitants of the places through which this railway will pass, with those facilities of conveyance for passengers, of which, from the almost entire absence of good roads, as well as railways, they have hitherto been destitute. An examination of the Map will show how well these objects i will be attained by means of this railway. At its northern tenni- ' nos, Wakefield, it will be connected with the Leeds and Manches ter Railway, continued to the Midland and the lines extending from it to the north and cast, with the projected Wakefield and Harrogate and Wakefield and Leeds lines (the latter a brands of the Leeds and Dewsbury from Churwell), and through it with the Leeds and Thirak, the Leeds and Bradford, and other railways, to the northwest and Scotland. And at 'Wortley, its southern tcriniiiirs, it will be connected with the Sheffield and Manchester Railway, the projected Manchester, Midland, and Great Grimsby, and the Sheffield and Lincolnshire lines, the Sheffield and Great Grimsby R iilway, the projected Sheffield and Chesterfield Railway, and the various new projects from Sheffield to the northern parts of Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and the west. The quantity of coal which this railway will make directly accessible to all parts of the kingdom u following statements g i v en In evidence beforeYbe estimated from the a Committees of the l o p of Barnsley contains '2,010 House of Commons:—The t a cres of coal bed, Barughs 5,080 's acres, Dodworth, 6,210 acres, Silkston, 4, 040 ac res. Th e quantity of coal in the Silkston main alone is thirty-severs millions three hundred and fourteen thou sand tons, and the quantity likely to be raised from the entire dis trict through which the railway will pass, is not less than seventy. eight millions of tons. Pits may be sunk close by the railway, and will require mils an engine to lift the coals perpendicularly, and pour them i n t o th e trucks. In addition to this, an opportunity will be afforded of tile:tine to better account a bed of iron.atone underlying a space 0 5,08tl acre;. The construction of this tail way would so cheapest the tranait of coal to York, Hull, and all intermediate towns to the north and east, and westward to Glossop, Ashton, Manchester, Stock port, and other town, in Cheshire, that the owners of this valu able mineral would be able successfully to compete with those of Durham and Lancashire. The inexhaustible mineral traffic which will thus be developed —the means which this railway will afford of improved transit be. twetti Leeds and Sheffield, so lung a desideratum to the inhabitants of these, the two largest towns in Yorkshire—the opening of direct railway communication with Barnsley, Rum which that important \ 1 manufaatutiug town has hitherto been excluded—its eon. 1 . lie4ion vWI the line rciected to Harrogate, whither ~' i
