Independent of the thorough traffic, which will necessarily be con siderable; the loeal traffic is alone sufficient to justify the construc tion of this line, and the promoters feel themselves warranted in stating, that from a careful estimate of traffic on data accurately forty per cent. for working taken, a profit of at least ten per cent, will be realise d, after deduct ingßy this line of railway, the great quarries of limes tone at Buxten expenses. and the neighbourhood (which have been pro•-ed to be the best for all purposes), will be thrown open to the Staffordshire and Sinop shire iron works (where 2 , 0 00,000 tons are consumed annually the fluxion of iron), as well as to other parts, and no doubt will form a great source of profit to the Company. It will also open the shortest and best line for the conveyance of salt from the Cheshire salt works, and also of the Staffordshire and Shropshire king iron, and pottery ware, to the ports of Galusborough, Grimsby and Bull, and to Sheffield, and the manufacturing districts o f Yorkshire. It also throws open the great lead, copper, iron, slate mines in North and South Wales. The extensive c on f ie l d hichs of Nor t on -in-the-Moors (about six miles from Leek), through w th line passes, and will thereby afford to Buxton and other places De erbyshire, a cheap and abundant supply of excellent coal at l a greatly reduced cost. In addition to the large mineral traffic which this line will possess. the conveyance of merchandise will form a source of considerable profit. Besides the general passenger traffic, there must in the sum mer months be a great accession of visitors froM Ireland, North and Sotrh Wales, Chester, and the Staffordshire Potteries to Buxton, B a kewell, Chatsworth , Matlock , Dovedale, ftc:, to which places it has been proved that 90,000 persons annually resort for the benefit of their health, and on pleasure excursions. Compan ies have been formed to make a line of railway from Shef field to Buxton, and Stoke-upon-Trent to Crewe, and Nortoa.bridge, to join the Grand Junction Railway, with each of which Companies the Committee are in commuitication, and arrangements be made with them so that the proposed c om pany will only have will to make the connecting link between the two places, namely', from Buxton to Stoke-upon-Trent, to complete the entire line. The distance to be made by this Co m p an y is nearly 22 miles; and the engineering charac t e r is s u ch a s to justily the promoters in de claring the proposed capital Imply sufficient f o r its require construction, and for sudh mineral b ranches as the district-may . P o wer will be taken in the Act t o allow interest at 41. per cent per annum upon all deposits and calls until the opening of the line. The liability of Subscribers will of course be limited by the Act of Parliament to the amount of their respective shares. In the, allotment of Shares a preference will he given to parties locally interested ; and such applicants as have shares in the Man chester, Buxton, and Amber Gate, Manchester, Sheffield, and Mid land Junction, and Derby and Crewe Companies, are requested to state that circumstance in their applications, but none can be re ceived unless accompan'ed by a reference to some party of known respectability.

A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct line for the London and Manchester traffic: uniting those two great termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion witk existing railways. It will also completely accommodate the local traffic and manufactures, and open several extensive coal fields and some thou sand acres of wood land for the supply of Manchester, the Potteries, and other great marts of the kingdom. Together, too, with the pro posed line from Derby to Crewe, it will affewd a transit front the Eastern Counties and Derby to Manchester, mid give every accom modation to the Potteries. This line is, in its principal features, much the same as that already approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned by the Churnet Valley Company—will be scarcely 47 miles in length, and passing through the centre of the district, does not interfere with the Grand Junction, er any other existing railway. It is material to re mark, that it is even more direct than the Churnet Valley as formerly projected to Tamworth, and is free from the formidable opposition of the landed interest, and the engineering difficulties consequent on the route by Itricester and Marchington. • It must be observed also that it is the only railway which has been brought forward by, and le under the control of, the landowners and manufacturers of theChnmet and Blythe Valley districts. The co-operation of most of the principal landowners, from near tittoxeter to near Lichfield, having been obtained, and there being no competing lines projected through that district, this portion of the line may be considered as secure.

This project is intended to form the most direct communication between the important grazing country of the Lincolnshire Marshes and the large manufacturing and consuming districts of the Midland and Northern Comities ; and to establish an immediate connexion between the East Coast and South Welds of Lincolnshire, and the various coal fields in Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire, thereby facilitating the export of con], wool, cattle, and other agri cultural produce, and the import of coal, timber, stone, slate, seeds, oil-cake, and artificial manures. By this line (in communication with other railways), Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Wakefield, Nottingham, Derby, Stafford, the Potteries, and other important manufacturing towns, will be placed in direct connexion with Hamburgh, Rotter dam, Antwerp, and the principal seaports of the north of Europe; between which places awl Wainfleet the voyage will be several hours shorter than from either Hull or Grimsby. There is a good passenger traffic generally throughout the line, swelled by the large and numerous fairs, held at Lincoln, Horncastle, Spilsby, Partney, Burgh, and Wainflect (for horses, cattle, and sheep), and by the vislors to Skegness, one of the principal watering places on the Lincolnshire' coast, the whole of which will be mate rially increased by railway accommodation. The improvement of the extensive harbour of Wainfleet haven, and the forming there a perfect shipping station for the manufactur ing districts, is one of the important features in this undertaking. This haven possesses natural roadsteads of a superior description. offering a safe anchorage for shipping of any burthen, in 24 fort of water, at ebb tide, close to the shore at Gibraltar Point. Any num ber of ships can ride safely at anchor ; and large fleets of merchant men frequently resort thither for safety during the prevalence of northerly gales, an advantage imperfectly possessed by both Hull and Grimsby; added to which, a great saving will be effected in the Cus tom, dock, and harbour dues, as well as in pilotage and insurance. No sea works ofany magnitude will be required. The length of the proposed line will be about 40 miles, and the country does not pr.?sant any engineering difficulties. No railway ill existence or in contemplation provides accom modation for the district of country through which this line will Fara. Application has been made to the principal landowners on the line, and no objection is anticipated. A portion of the Shares will be reserved for parties locally inter rested, and the remainder will be allotted to persons giving Ml excOtionable references. No Shareholder 'will be liable beyond his aubscriation. The Subscribers' Agreement will contain powers to the Provisional Committee to ruts into other railways now or hereafter to be made, and to alter tile termini of the proposed line, so that the main ob ject of the scheme be carried out.

The Line will commence 'by a Junction at Ely with the Eastern Counties, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Huntingdon Railways, and terminate at Bury by a Junction with the Ipswich and Bury Railway. Its object is to preserve the mercantile connexion which has for generations subsisted between the county of Suffolk, the town of Bury, and the Port of Lynn, and to afford to Ipswich, Colchester, and Bury, and all that portion of the kingdom, a direct communica tion with the manufacturing districts. The distance from Bury, and consequently from all places eastward of that town to Peterborough—the point at which so many Lines pass ing from the south and east to the north and north-west converge— will, by tha Ely and Bury Line, be ten miles shorter than the rcute to that City by way of Cambridge.

As the new standing order of the House of Lords will require 10 per ce :t. of the proposed capital to be deposited, the Committee have also determined, in order to obviate the necessity of a further call on Shareholders before going to Parliament, to distribute the capital into shares of 251., deposit 21. 12s. 6d. ; allowing holders of the pre sent 501. shares to receive twice as many 25/. shares, or any smaller number they may wish (subject to approval of the names by the Committee whore their shares were not originally allotted to them), or if any should wish to withdraw, returning them the deposits of 2/. 15s. per share which have been paid up.

London, September 1, 1443. The Dircct.rs of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway Company having completed the whole of their arrange ments, and having beets compelled to refuse at least three-fourths of the applications for shares In their line, have had their attention forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the station on the Great Western Railway, by whb h a connexion would be most advantage ously formed between Southampton, Gloucester, Cheltenham, and all parts of England. After most mature deliberation, they have re solved to recommend to their shareholders and the public the imme diate carrying out a railway to effect this object, which will be most desirable, as a completion to their own line, and highly advantage ous in a pecuniary sense and on public grounds. They have directed all the necessary surveys to be made, so as to apply to Parliament in the elisuing session, at the same time as the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway, with a view to the ultimate amal gation of both lines under one management. In the allotment of shares, preference will given to the holders of Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares, and every original shareholder in that line may, on production of his Scrip Certificate, receive an allotment of a similar number of Salis bury and Swindon Extension shares. The holders of Great Western, and of Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth shares will also have a pre ference, provided applications be made on or before the 10th Sep tember.

The object of this undertaking is to effect a cheaper and more direct communication between Hull and the manufacturing districts, connecting the Great Midland and the Sheffield and Manchester Railways with the Hull and Selby Railway, by a short route front Barnsley to Selby or 'Lowden, or some other point on the Hull and Selby line. Hull now ranks as the third Port in the kingdom, and is the great outlet to Northern Europe. Its present capacious Docks are situate t immediate connexion with the railway terminus. Under the powers of an Act obtained in the session of 1844, two extensive docks are in course of construction, one of them expressly intended to meet the rapidly increasing wants of the railway. With these present and immediate prospective advantages, it .is obviously of the utmost im portance to secure for Hitt the most direct communication with the - ntanuthcturing districts, especially a' strenuous efforts are being made Reference ••• • • •• • • Signature ••••• • • • • to divert the stream of traffic into ether channels.
