These considerations have not bean sufficiently kept in view: by other parties who have also Proposed is make a railway from Rugby to Ma ccle sfi eld, but who, by deviating from the direct tract 'to pursue valleys And to avoid the irregularities of the face: of. the. country, obviously lose the advantages proposed by this Company. The Parliamentary decision on the choice of the London and Brighton Railway is a parallel case, the• direct line, although presenting more difficulties to overcome, and involving a greater outlay, - having been adopted by Parliament in preference to the many cdinpetitig projects, in a more or less sinuous direction, which were at that tiros supported in the House by very influential parties. Shoup it be found necessary, arrangements have been made by which additional lines of rails will be laid between, Rugby and Lon don on the London and Birmingham Railway, whereby the surplus traffic northwards will be abundantly provided for. . • , This line 'also possesses the singular advantage ef affording the shorteit and most di:reet route from Manchester to Southampton, Gosport, - and Portsmouth, a • feature presented by no oilier. preNsed railway. •By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great Western as far as Didcot,' and thence the proposed Oxford, Southamp ton, Gosport, and Portsniouth line, the distance from Manchester is Southampton will be twenty-three miles lees than by any other route, and on this account the project has been warmly supported by the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Railway Company. The deviations from a perfectly straight line between Rugby and Macclesfield to avoid high , ranges of hills, ornamental. parka, or valuable buildings are very slight, and the line in general offers no engineering difficulties of any magnitude. The towns more directly interested as a local line are Netneaten, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market Bosworth, Burton-upon-Trent, Tutbury, Ashbonme, and Leek. The Company has made arrangements with tke North London Junction Railway Company, whereby it has 'secured the use of their station (of the extent of 'Six acres) in the centre of the City of London, at the bottom of Moorgate-atreet, whick will prove of the utmost mportance to this line. Amidst the many railway projects that now occupy. the public mind, and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily be conceded that a line that will attain suck important results at so small an outlay. of capital, and the time required for its construction, and without interfering with any existing vested intern.% must meet with general approbation, and at the same time offer a ♦ery excellent investmentfor capital. The shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports mouth, in the London and Birmingham, and in the Manchester and Binning': am Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of the shares. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the Aare holden beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is obtained, and power will be taken in the let to allow 41. per cent ? , interest. in all calls.

The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are— Firstly—The supply of local railway accommodation to the impor tant districts embraced by the line. Secondly—The benefit of railway communication with the metro polis to a district of country upwards of fifty miles in length at pre sent unprovided with that accommodation. Thirdly—The completion of the chain of railway communication between the river Severn and the southern and western counties, and the north-eastern district of the kingdom and the river Humber and its ports, Including that of Hull. Commencing at the town of Northampton, In conjunction with the London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con verge at that town from Cheltenham, and the west from Worcester and from Warwick, the line will proceed in a direct course to the market town of Kettering, by which place all the companies compet ing for the line of railway between London and Manchester propose to pass. It will then proceed also in a direct course to the market townsof Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, on to Lincoln. The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Grant ham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo dation, not only to the south but also to the north. At Lincoln the line will fork, and proceed, on the one hand, in a northerly direction to the flourishing port of Gainsborough, and, on the other, by a north-eastern course to the market town and Market Rosen, on to the rising port of Great Grimsby. By an union with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail way at Market Basen, a direct and uninterrupted attain of communi cation will be established between all the above-mentioned districts and the town and port of Hull. The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated, viz.:— Starting from Great Grimsby, the line will appropriate to itself the while' of the traffic from thence to the metropolis, and also the southern and western districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it will secure the important and !tweezing local traffic between that town and Market Rosen and Lincoln. From Gainsborough, the termini of several railways from the north and north-west, this Has will carry the traffic to Lincoln, its county Nolen. The traffic from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, will enter upon this liae at Market Rosen and proceed thereon to Lincoln. From Lincoln the whole of the traffic passing to the west and the intermediate towns must pass over this line. In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not obtaining their Bill, then the traffic from Lincoln to the south and west, and else the metropolis, will pees along this line of railway ; the former the whole distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham, a distance of about twenty-five miles ; and should the London and York Company not succeed, such traffic will proceed on to Kettering or Northampton. The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of "more than forty miles, and including :the market towns of Oakingham and Uppingham, is without a railway or water-carriage accommodation, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over this line of railway, which will be in the direct course not only to the west but also to London. At Kettering this line will unite with that one of the now com peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to London, which shall be successful before Parliament. The country is free fern engineering difficulties, with one or two exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the very favourable gradients of by far the greater portion of the line; Indeed for many miles the line will run upon a water level. The line will not interfere with any ornamental property. The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking.' The promoters reserve power to alter and vary tke route, to ex tend the proposed line of railway, and to increase the amount of ca pital as may be necessary or advisable. Prospectuses and plans will be ready for distribution in a few days.

This Line will join the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway at Chepstow, and extend westward near to Piercitield, the far-famed Windcliff, and Tiutern Abbey, to the towns if Usk and Pontypool, and over the centre of the great iron and coal Held of South Wales. passing near to and through the midst of the extensive iron works and collieries of Monmouthshire and Glamor gaushire, to join the Aberdare branch of the Taff Yale Railway, which connects Merthyr Tydvil and Aberdare with Cardiff—thus Conning a much more direct and almost straight Line—by means of the railways already made and projected between those immensely populous districts, and the centre of the kingdom and London, by means of which the journey by land will be shortened between the metropolis and this great seat of industry to four and a half, and between Newport and Cardiff to lye hours, which at present, even by the aid of existing railways, cannot be performed in less than from ten to twelve hours. It will be found by reference to the official census of 1331 and 1641, that the average increase of population of the county of Mon mouth exceeded that of any other county in England or Wales ; .tkis tact is referred to as illustrative of the rising importance of the country through which this railway is intended to pass, and of the very large passenger tram. which may reasonably be calculated non. The town of Usk, with Ragland, and the rich agricultural district for many miles around, are supplied by carts from the vicinity of Pontypool with coal and lime, which are there obtained at a cheap rate, and in return cattle and provisions of all kinds, hay, corn, and pit timber to rai enormous extent, are scut to the iron works and collieries, where the consumption is immense. This traffic alone must necessarily ensure a considerable revenue to the Company, in dependent of the great traffic from the manufactured iron, fire bricks, and paving stone, which is of superior quality, and in great abundance. The present cost of conveying and delivering iron and tin plates from the works to London, Including transit to the port, shipping charges, freight. and insurance, amounts to little leer; than 20s. per ton, whilst by this railway, and those it is intended to join, the average cost at the rate usually charged fbr such goods on rail ways will effect a saving of at least 25 per cent., and be conveyed withia twenty-four hours, instead of the average voyage roend the Land's End of three, and not unfrequently six weeks, and with the very Important advantage of delivering the iron free from rust, which is unavoidable on a sea voyage, in small bars more particu larly, causing a deterioration of from 15s. to 20s. per ton at least. This railway, by means of the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction, and the Birmingham and Gloucester Railways, will open Birmingham as a market for the manufactured iron of south Wales, from which it has been in a measure excluded, from the difficult and expensive transit by the River Severn and Canals. Largo quantities of iron ore, known " Hsematete ore," is imported Into Wales, from Lancashire, Cumberland, Devon, and Cornwall; whilst ore of a Similar quality, and equal productiveness for iron waking, exists In abundance in the Forest of Dean, and may be raised and delivered from thence by means of this and the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway to the different iron works In Monmouthshire and Glamorgatishlre at an average of from 2s to Si) per cent. lees than it costs at present, and at the .010 time leave a handsome remuneration to the Hallway Companies. The Committee of Management have gone ve ry earethlly into eetimates of the goods traffic especially, and they feel justitleil in expressing a decided opinion tha t the revenue from the this source a one will yield a per cent. on the p ro p osed capital of Company, in addition to the revenue to be derived from the other traffic. This Railway will pass doge to, and within a few miles of , all the iron and tin works of Monmouthshire, and the principal part of th o .s e i n atamorganshire ; and the following short statistic of the extent of those stupendous undertakings will give an Idea of the vast project. The Iron and tin works corn importance of the present mence at Pontypool, and are 1. The Pontymeile Tin and Iron Works 2. The Blaendare Iron and Coal Works 3. The extensive Tin Works at Ponthir and CaerleOn 4. The Pentwyn, Golonos, and Varteg Iron Works and Rolling Mills 5. The British Iron Company 6. The Blaenavon Iron Company 7. The Nautylylo 8.

Added to which, in the vicinity, are the extensive works and collieries in the Aberdare Valley, and on either side of the intended railway are collieries raising and vending about one million mid a half tons of coal per annum, which it is not unreasonable to ex pect will be greatly extended, by the facilities offered through the intended railway. In the districts of Merthyr, Aberdare, and westward, there exists an inexhaustible abundance of a peculiar description of coal, which, though inflammable, is nearly smokeless, and is found to be superior iA cptality for steam purposes to any yet known.

This important line will commence at Brighton, and (passing through or contiguous to the towns of Stsyning, Petworth, Mid hurst, Petersneld 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 provosed by means of their projected line, that the Brighton and Cheltenham Railway shall proceed through Hunger ford to Swindon. From Peterstield a short branch will be made to Chichester, where, nearly at the same point of junction, the London and Ports mouth direct will intersect the line in its way to Portsmouth. From Swindon it is proposed to proceed by the Manchester and Southampton 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 between Brighton and Dieppe, which the railroad from the latter place to Rouen, and theace 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 counties of England. It is obvious that with these advantages the trallic must neces sarily be large, Ithe line passing through the centre of Sussex, con taining a populatiGn of about 300,000, at present almost devoid of railway accommodation. Power will be applied for in the Act to increase the capital, if 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 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, and to the shareholders in the lines with which this Company will be connected. Application for shares may be made to the Solicitors, Secretary, and to the following Sharebrokers, of whom pros;)ectuses, with maps of the line, !nay be obtained:—London —Messrs.

On reference to a railway map of England, it will at once be seen that Stafford and Crewe, on the Grand Junction and Derby, and Helper, en the Midland Railway, are the centres to which a great number of lines of railway, either already constructed or projected, converge ; and between these four points no railway exists. The West Midland Railway proposes to unite these points in the following way;—By commencing one of its arms at Crewe station, on the Grand Junction Railway, which will run through or near Newcastle-under-Lyne, Burnham, Stoke-ipon-Trent, Lane End, and Cheadle, to Uttozeter, where its other arm from Stafford will meet it and proceed thence, by Aehbourne to a point near the Belper station on the Midland Railway, where it will take advantage of the pro posed Derby and Gainsborough, Nottingham and Mansfield, and Boston, Newark, and Sheffield Railways; thus opening a direct com munication between Holyhead and other parts of North Wales, Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire,!en the one hand, and Sheffield, Mefferd, Mansfield, Nottingham, Newark, Norwich, and the ports of Gainsborough, Grimsby, Boston, Spalding, Lynn and Yarmouth, on the other. This line will accommodate a very considerable portion of the traffic proceeding from the west coast of Scotland, Cumberland, and Lanca shire, into Lincolnshire and the south-eastern parts of the kingdom, and by that portion of the line which is proposed to run between Helper and Stafford, and the whole of the traffic from the east coast of Scotland, Northumberland, Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, and other populous northern counties passing to the west and south west, together with the opulent mineral districts of South Wales, will be effectually served. Passing as this line will do, through a densely-populated and ex tensive manufacturing district, it must be viewed, even in its local character, as one of vast importance. The mere enumeration of the towns affected by it would suffice to show that the traffic over it will be immense ; but, in addition to this, when credit is taken fin the thorough traffic passing diagonally over the line from south-east to north-west, and from north-east to south-west, as well as for the corn and other agricultural produce from the eastern counties to the manufacturing districts ; and a return carriage of manufactured goods, slates from North Wales, salt from Cheshire, earthenware from Staffordshire, and iron from Shropshire, for the consumption of the midland counties as well as for export from the eastern ports of Hull, Grimsby, Boston, Spalding, &c., some adequate idea may be formed of the advantages which the comple ion of this comprehensive scheme will naturally develop. All these objects have been deeply and seriously considered, and deemed of each para mount importance to local interests, that the fullest and most in fluential support and co-operation have been obtained to effectually carry out and insure the various objects of this undertaking. Surveys of the district have been made with much care, and the result is highly favourable in an engineering point of view. The Committee in the allotment of shares will give a preference to parties locally interested, and in all cases satisfactory reference will Ire required to some person of known respectability. Power will be taken in the act to allow interest, at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum, on the deposits, as well as on all Mitre calls, from the date of each payment, till the opening of the whole line, or until a dividend be declared ; and the liability of subscribers will be limited by the Act of Parliament to the amount of their respective shares. The shares and all payments made thereon will be forfl.ited with out notice, should the holders thereof not sign the Subscribers' Agree ment and Parliamentary Contract as soon as required.

This coal for the most partdgi brought from a distance o f 24 m il es, and c hi ppe d at CardAVitle . whence freights to London have averaged from l Oa. to l Is. per ton during the past year; but so uncertain is the slippy to the metropo lis, owing to the scarcity of ships on the Welsh coast, and the long and precarious navigation round the Land's End, that many who are anxious to adopt their engine grates for its tss, are deterred from the too great uncertainty which exists against obtaining a regular and constant supply; these difficulties will be mitlrely superseded by the proposed railway, and these it is intended to join, with the great additional advantage and impetus to increased ate and consumption, that it may be delivered to the consumer at from 2s. to 3s. per ton less price. than at present. Under such circumstances, it will not appear unreasonable to those unacquainted with the trade, to expect that the consumption in the metropolis alone will be increased four fold, whilst a new-found trade will be opened out with Chepstow, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Witney, Oxford, and the numerous inter medcate towns to London, where steam coal is used. It has been considered more Judicious to form a separate Company for the Extension line from Chepstow to the Tag Vale, than to alter the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway Company at present, but powers are proposed tie be taken for uniting the two Companies hereafter, with the assent of their respective Boards of Direction. Prefbrenee will be given to those locally Interested, awl to the holders of Shares in the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Glouceeter Junction Railway. A reference to the map will show the import:aloe of this line as tbrnaing a direct line of railway commuulcation between the great mineral district of Monmouthshire and Glamorganohire, with Site heart of the Kingdom and London. It may confidently be stated that in connexion with the Chop- stow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway, there is not a line of' railroad Mille Kingdom which offers greater sublitn-' ince to the ghareholders than the present. Prevision will bat thada lu the Act of Parliament which will be applied for In the nextees- Won to limit the liability of the Shareholder to the =mud of his shares, and to allow :Our per cent. on the palls.
