This line is projected by the Norfolk Railway Company and the Grand Union Railway Company, and it will form a connecting link between those two lines. Leaving the station of the Norfolk Company at Brandon, the line proceeds via Downham Market to Wisbech, and from thence to Spald ing, being a distance of about 40 miles. At the latter town it joins the Grand Union Railway, which continues via Grantham to Not tingham, thus completing a direct and independent line of communi cation between Yarmouth and Norwich, and Nottingham and the manufacturing districts. The distance between the termini will be as short by the proposed route as by the Lynn and Ely and Lynn and Dereham lines; whilst the traffic between Nottingham. Yarmouth, and Norwich, and the central, west, and south parts of Norfolk, the north of Cambridge shire, and the counties of Suffolk and Essex, being under the control offriendly Companies, will be secured for this undertaking. Estimates for the traffic are in course of preparation. In the mean time it may be stated that, from the data already furnished respecting some of the important loca.ities through which the line passes, added to the fact that it forms part of a direct course of railway communi cation between Manchester and the surrounding manufacturing dis tricts, and the ports of Yarmouth and Lynn, there is no doubt an ample remuneration will be secured for the shareholders. Satisfactory arrangements have been made with the Eastern Counties Railway Company in reference to that portion of the line between Wisbech and Spalding, which has been agreed to be leased by them from the Wisbech and St. Ives Company. If the Wisbech and St. Ives Company succeed in their application to Parliament, the line to be made by this Company will be limited to that part between Wisbech and Brandon ; and in either case the two Companies promoting this line have agreed to take a lease of it at a rental equal to 4 per cent. en the outlay, and a moiety of the sur plus profits. In the allotment of shares preference will be given to the share holders of the Norfolk and Grand Union Railway Companies.

This railway is projected to form a direct communication between Brighton and Tonbridge Wells. It will commence at a point of junction with the Brighton and Lewes Railway at the town of Lewes, and proceeding by the Valley of the Ouse, pass by Uckfleld and Rothertield, thence following the valley to Groombridge, proceed to Tonbridge Wells, and there form a junction with the Tonbridge Wells branch of the South-Eastern Railway. The length of the line will be about twenty-two miles. The neces sity and advantages of this line of railway are self-evident—it will connect Brighton immediately with the populous and fashionable neighbonrhood of Tonbridge Wells, and more mediately it will con nect Southampton, Portsmouth, Chichester, and the ports of the western coast of Sussex, with the important towns of Maidstone, Chatham, Rochester, Canterbury, and Dover; thus effecting the greatly desired object of the shortest and most rapid communication between Dover and Southampton. The internal communication between Kent and Sussex w.ll be thus rendered complete. The following towns and populous villages are in constant trading communication with Lewes and Brighton, and will be accommodated by this line :—Barcombe, Ringmer, Isfleld, Little Horsted, Uckfleld Maresfleld, Frans aeld, East Hoathly, Mayfield, Withyham, Wadhurst, Newhaven, and Harbour, Waldron, Fletching, Busted, Rothertield, Lamberhurst, Frant, Ticehurst, Groombridge, Hartfleld, Asburst. The existing local traffic will thus be alone sufficient to prove highly remunerative, exclusive of the great passenger and goods traffic that must of necessity flow into this course as soon as the ne cessary accommodation is afforded. Detailed traffic tables are is course of preparation. The preliminary surveys have been com pleted, and no difficulties, engineering or otherwise, present them selyes, but, on the contrary, this railway will be of facile construc tion, and easy gradients The lando - wilers generally are favourable to this line, to which they have pledged their support. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at. the rate of 4 per cent. on all paid-up calls from the passing of the Act until the completion of the line, and the liability of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of the subscription. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company will be under the control of the Committee of Management for the time being, to whom power is given to allot the shares, and to apply the fluids of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its formation, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime Is hereby given to the Committee of Management, as above, to raise any ad ditional capital, to abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements with any other company or companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of he Company. Applications for copies of the prospectus and shares, in the usual farm, may be made to the promoter, William Hallett, Esq., Brighton; to W. It. James, Esq., London; to W. I'.

This railway will roil from the town of Louth, through Market Rasen, to the town of Gainsborough, in the county of Lincoln, and is projected for the purpose of completing a direct communication with the towns of Rotherham, Sheffield, Manchester, and Liverpool, and thus affording to the rich grazing and agricultural districts of the county of Lincoln a ready access to those important markets, and at the same time a certain and speedy transit fur manufactured goods and articles of merchandise. The communication by railway between these important tdWils has not, by existing arrangements, been provided for, except by very circuitous routes ; indeed, that part of the line from Market Rasen to Gainsborough has been entirely overlooked, and therefore the pre sent one has been proposed to meet the wants of the district, on the strong representations and request of a large and respectable body of gentry deeply interested in the success of the scheme. A detailed prospectus and plan is in progress, and will be ready fur delivery in a few days, with the names of a highly-influential Pro visional Committee of parties locally interested : in the meantime, applications for shares may be made, in the annexed form, to Messrs. Coverdale aid Lee, solicitors, 4, Bedford-row, Gray's Inn, London ; Messrs.

SECRETARY—Harry Burrard Parnell, Esq. The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail. way Company have great satisfaction in informing their subscribers that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional Commit tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of the Thames of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City traffic north of London. _ To effect this important object, an area of 18 acres of grouled (the southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of the Bask of England) has been meat carefully surveyed and valued, and tile re port of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as to have induced tile I'rOVISIOIIIII Committee to determine on purchasing the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved them to in crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0801. The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and most complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway companies who may co-operate with them ' an object which will be effected by opening the very extensive and valuable space of ground alluded to, within tile centre of the City of London. In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties Railway in Shorediteh, which will effect an entire junction between the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same time aflord a direct communication between the whole of the rail ways, which reach London tothe north of the Thames, and give full development to each of their schemes by creating for them a common centre within the heart of the metropolis. Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Corn .etny, will be added that of those companies also who will eventually co-opera e with the North London Junction Railway Company, and the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable line of railway. L lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district throtgh which this Company proposes to run this line; by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be Placed in immediate commu: ication with the City ; while the dense Popu lation of the City will enjoy a fact ity of connexion with its suburban localities, necessarily affording it the grattest accommodation. With such important local resources, therefore, together with the vast traffic on which the shareholders of this Company have a right to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly anticipated, fully commensurate with the outlay of the proposed capital. That revenue will be derived thus : The daily passenger traffic on the Great W e stern a mounts to 3,343, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirt a of which reach the ' City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,408 persons daily, half of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City. Pa.sseng:trs from the suburban districts reaching the City, now un accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. From these sources the following products are derived: — Per Ann.

It commences at the Farnborough station of the South-Western Rail way, crossing the Great Western line between Slough and Maiden head, and terminates on the Oxford and Rugby line of railway at Ileyford, beyond Oxford, on the route to Birmingham, accommo dating in its course, Bracknell, Sunning-hill,Ragshot, Ascot, Windsor, Great Marlow, High Wycombe, Princes Risborough. Thame, Bicester, and many other places at present without railway com munication. It will form the most direct route from London to Banbury, War wick, and Birmingham, and by the Grand Junction Railway to Man chester, Liverpool, Lancaster, and Carlisle, and by the Caledonian Railway to Glasgow and Edinburgh ; also from Crewe to Chester. Birkenhead, and Holyhead, thus opening the most direct communica- tion with Dublin. It will also by the branch to Oxford, in connexion with the Cheltenham and Oxford line, form the most direct route to South Wales, Waterford, and the south of Ireland, as well as by the Ox ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line to Worcester, and conse quently to all the central portion of Wales, thus forming the shortest route to all Wales and Ireland. The length of this line will not exceed 64 miles, and it will save an average distance of 14 miles to each of the before-mentioned places. as compared with the route now traversed by the Great Western Railway. It is satisfactory to state that there are no engineering difficulties, and that the land is the least valuable of any in the coun ties through which this line is intended to pass, avoiding, as it does, parks and ornamental property. To the advantages offered to the above places, by saving about fourteen miles in the transits to London, must be added that of con necting them with the South-Western and the Reading and Reigate lines, affording passengers an opportunity of proceeding to South ampton, Portsmouth, Isle of Wight, Dover, Brightens, and all adja cent places, without the necessity of passing through the metropolis, thereby saving much time and inconvenience. It will be seen from the f , regoing facts that the formation of this line will afford very great advantages to nearly all parts of England. Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, as it will materially facilitate the de livery of their many markeiaole products by opening another and more direct route to London. It is not, therefore, too much to ex pect that, independently of a great local traffic, there will be also an immense through traffic brought on this line, which must pay at least 10 per cent. en 011 1 capital required. Thl4 is Manifest, as the construction of thp llne will not cost 20,0001. per mile, while the London and Birmingham Railway cost 55,001. per mile, upon which enormous outlay it continues to ray 15 per cent.

OftM, I h t 4044t0-Otrtet, It will bring the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of the Thames, ar.d North Kent, into direct communication, by way of Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus farm, in con. junction with the railways now in progress on the Continent, the shortest possible route to Paris and the Mediterranean. By this railway the large population of the North Eastern Coun ties, numbering nearly two millions, 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 front the unconnected lines north and south of the metropolis. The utility of this line to the naval and military 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 progress in Kent and Sussex, a most complete system of local communication will be effected ; and as such, the project has been received with the most distinguished approbation and pledges of support from the principal proprietors along the line, and the Corporation of Oravesend have promised their entire sanction ►o, and will cordially support It. The ground has been carefully surveyed, avid found to present no difficulties to the formation of a good working line. The existing local traffic has been ascertained to lite amply suf. ficient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking; but a large accession of valuable traffic cannot fail to lie the result of the increased accommodotion 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 themlelves to form a branch from Wrotham to Chatham. 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 of the line.

It is contemplated 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 Wrotham to Tunbridge, thence by the South-Eastern Railway to Tunbridge Wells, passing Uckfield to Lewes, and thence joining the Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings Railway to Brighton. An inspection or the map will clearly show the great import. ance of this railway, whether considered in a local or national point of view, forming as it will a most useful chain of local com munication for the fertile and populous tracts through which it passes.

This undertaking is designed to supply the wants of an extcn. sive mineral and populous distric►, the cl .ims of which to railway accommodation have long been recognised, and various projects brought forward to secure the lecvl traffic which is admitted to he sufficient to support a railway ; this line will not only accomplish that desirable object, but also possess the advantageof forming a direct communication, by the shortest possible route (in connexion with existing and projected railw tys), between two of the most important divisions of the kingdom. It is intended to commence by a jut.cti ni with the projected railways that will centre at Uttroccer, from which tc.wn it will proceed by Rochester to Ashbourne, Wirksworth, Cromford, Mat lock (where it join the Manchester, Buxton, and Matlock Railway), and thence to or near Chesterfield, forming a junction with the North Midland Railway, thereby giving to Arhheurne a direct communication with London by UttoXet,r, end confer similar advantages to Wirks,yorth and cutter trims on the line, by means of the Manchestvr, Buxton, end Matlock Railway, via Derby. The liner will be about thirty-five miles long, and the most direct communication that can be formed between Sheffield, York, Leeds, and other populous manufacturing towns of the north and the north-east of England (by means of the projected railways that will diverge from Uttoxeter) with the Staffordshire Potteries, Stafford, Shropshire, the densely-populated distric's of South Staffordshire, Southampton, Bristol, the West of England, and South Wales. It is quite superfluous to notice that the through traffic, both in goods and passengers, by the various railways which will concert • trate to a focal point at Uttoxoter for Sheffield and the north, will be immense. The goods trattc between Sheffield and the South Staffbrdshire ironworks is very great. The district is destitute of water communication, with the exception of the Cromford Canal, which the line will cross at right ang'es, and it is only necessary to advert to a few of the prominent resources of the country to show the magnitude of the local traffic. The price of coals on all parts of the line is very high, being carted a distance of 10 to 15 miles. The cost of this indispensable article of consumption will be re•'uced nearly one half. The northern portion of the line will be cheaply supplied front the col lieries which abound on the North Midland Railway, and the town of Ashbourne and the locality (as to price) will be almost placed in immediate contiguity with the Cheadle Coal Field, where extensive mines of the Yard coal are worked, which produces an Incense heat, and is highly approved of both for domestic and manu. facturing purposes. The line will pass several valuable quarries of Derbyshire marble which Is extensively used in all parts of the kingdom ; and also numerous lead-smelting works and rolling mills, producing large quantities of pig and sheet lead. It will afford an inexhaustible supply of lime for the highly cultivated land on the banks of the Dove and Southward. It will open the Derbyshire mines to the Zinc Smelting Works in the neighbourhood of Cheadle, and will afford a direct communication with Sheffield for the articles mann ,actured at those works, which at present are carted to Derby, a distance of more than twenty miles. Already a large cattle traffic exists with the north, which will unquestionably be greatly augmented by the facilities of this rail way, large importations of Scotch and Yorkshire cattle will be brought for fattening on the luxuriant pastures of the Dove, tak ing in return to the markets of the manufacturing towns, the corn, cheese, wool, and other produce of the ex.etisive and fertile agri cultural district which surrounds the Staffordshire terminus of this railway. It will bring the a'ready large cheese and cattle fairs of Uttoxeter and Ashbourne into greater importance. The iron furnaces of South Staffordshire consume annually more than half a million tons of limestone : some estimates make the quantity exceed a million tons. It is well known that the iron roasters give a decided preference to the limestone at the south of the Peak, ever any other that has hitherto been tried; the very great fusibility of this stone rendering it peculiarly suitable as a flux for reducing the stubborn iron ores of South Staffordshire, and were it not for the dilatory and eni, nsive means of transit from Froghall, it would now be used to the total exclusion of all ether kinds. The proximity of this railway to the iron district, the tact of its entering the limestone range at the most southern extremity, and the advantage of excavating the stone immediately on the line of rails, cannot but ensure to it a very large share of this enormous traffic, if it do not engross the whole. The cost of the atone and expenses of delivery by the canal from Froghall to the iron district, amount to 7s. per ton, and by this railway, after allowing a remu nerative toll, would be laid down at less than 45. per ton. The visitors to the Peak are alrea,ly very numerous, Let this romantic scenery (which may be justly termed the Switzerland of the centre of England) be opened to the indus rious artisans who chiefly compose the great hives of populati:n with which this railway will communicate. Let this beautiful scenery be made easily accessible to this class of Persons at a trifling sacrifice both of time and money, and the revenue from this source alone during the summer months will be found to be of no inconsider able amount. The projectors feel convinced that this railway contains the ele ments of great prosperity, and that as an investment it offers more than ordinary security. There can be no doubt of a profitable return for the capital, and the nature of the country presents in. superat le obstacles to the formation of any other line which can materially compete with it. Applications for shares, in the following form, accompanied by a satisfactory reference, may t'e addres.,cd to the secretary, and William le Grand, Esq., Shorter's.court, London. alpiwY :dward ,or 4
