PRIC - .3 t WITH A en-4 1 : E 5 SUPPLEMENT, sa. Nu. 16,568, LON.r.iON 5 M ND.A.Y !/: THE DIRECTORS of the LONDON CEN TRAL RAILWAY TERMINUS COMPANY cannot avoid referring to the extraordinary decision come to by the Hungerford Bridge Company, repudiating a solemn contract made by their Directors, and sanctioned by a recent general meeting. The Com mittee of the Central Terminus Company are advised that not withstanding this decision, the contract is one which may be enforced in equity. Nevertheless, as time presses, they have In structed their engineer to lay down an independent railway bridge, by which the absolute necessity of dealing with the Hungerford Bridge Company may be obviated, and the very contracted area of Hungerford Market may be dispensed with. The Committee, under these circumstances, will at once proceed to an allotment of their Shares, and the important business of the Company ; and they cannot doubt, that, considering the great na tional importance of their undertaking, It will readily receive the sanction of Parliament, as it has already that of her Majesty's Com missioners of Metropolitan Improvements, and of all the Important Southern Railways. _ _ SOLICITORS.

RAILWAY COMPANY, uniting the Bristol and Eng lish Channels, and forming a direct communication between the South of Ireland and Wales, with Bristol and London, and also with the South-Eastern and Western Coasts of England, Paris, and the Channel Islands. (Provisionally Registered.) Capital, 500,0001. in 25,000 shares of 201. each. Deposit 21. 2s. per Share. Liability expressly limited to the amount of subscription ; and it Is intended to make no further call until the Act of Parliament is obtained. Bridgnorth—R. O. Backhouse, Esq. Shrewsbury—W. Cooper, Esq. The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as the point where the broad guage trunk lines of the west arc to have a common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have lecided on constructing a line of rail :—another project under the pa tronage of the same powerful direction is now before the public, uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will be carried from Worcester into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will com plete a series of great avenues of iron-road, whose ramification from Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly accessible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where it will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches Stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at Bewdley. This district Is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge a little to the east, the line is taken to Bridgenorth, a town enjoying an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron works, that give employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, from which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Won, eaters Whitchurch. From this central places branch will be formed to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and Crewe Railway. The trunk like will continue from Whitchurch, and passing through or near Malpas, have its northern terminus in the city of Chester. In estimating the probable amount of revenue which the Worces ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of profit present themselves, such are the dense population located along the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry in vt hich they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned the China manufactories of Worcester, the iron, coal, and earthen ware works at Broseley and other places ; the agricultural produce brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal anti mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridge, and the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally. In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are also obvious. The line traverses a district affording levels of several miles in extent, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found better qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many.other localities. As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary to existing or projected lines passing in various directions, few schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater inducement for Investment, or a wider range of accommodation for traffic and travelling. This project constitutes a lengthened link in the chain that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk of the West of England ;—its southern terminus, Worcester, is the half way station of the London and Port Dynnllaen broad gauge line : by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded west ward to Swansea and Aberystwith, and, es.Cward, to Warwick and Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lynn, Lincoln, and Hull. The line has been repeatedly and carefully examined by the Com pany's acting engineer, who reports that the rail for many miles may be laid on the natural level—that the gradients are in every in stance favourable—that the geological structure of the districts to be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a line ef com munication is acknowledged by the Interests seated on its proposed course.

Revell Vigers, Esq., 50, Russell-square, and Alderman's-walk, The importance of connecting remote parts of E..gland by Rail ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns and districts, can scarcely be better exemplified than by the Line which is now proposed to form a short and diredt channel of inter course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines now before the public will make Oxford at the nor*, 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 cast, south, and west of the latter; and the proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the course of Railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, requires the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to the western and south-western counties.

Excript from the Minutes of Meeting of the Provisional Com mittee, held at the Royal Hotel, Glasgow, on Thursday, the 18th inst., at One o'clock, P.M. :— the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at large, by preferring a direct line of commun'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 Wantage, Hungerford, and Ludgershall, and the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, 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 population 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 Abtrigdon. 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 market town of Wantage, which, as well as Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced by railway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commence the proposed line at Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail road to London. By continuing the projected railway to Wantage, the same facility of transit 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, through the towns which have been named, Hungerford and Ludgers hall to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis tricts. A map of the line, and a statistical report of the whole country intended to be traversed, is in course 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. Elmslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street, London; solicitors to the undertaking, to whom, at present, applica tion for shares may be made. W. F. Beadon, Esq., 11, John-street, Berkeley-square W.

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of passengers and goods from Kingston to Montego Bay and theirter mediate ports, either by sea or land, is well known to all ons conversant with the islan i of Jamaica. The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and King ston, occupies forty-four hours ; and the costs, including expenses on the route, amount to nearly 51. each passenger, while the quickest journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including horse hire, reach nearly 201. By traversed in eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an aver a g e of 30s. per passenger. the railway the whole line will be The difference in the freights between the northern and southern sides of the island and England is such, that independently of the saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at much less expense than at present, and will afford them the advan tage of shipping at all times from the very excellent harbour of King ston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed Wrts of the east and north of the island. The line will commence at a spacious quay, to be constructed at Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of the largest tonnage employed in the export trade of the Island ; at or near to which point it is proposed to form a junction with the King ston and Spanish Town Railway, and proceed thence by or nea r Bock Fort, Yallahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Anotto Bay, Port Maria , St . Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near Montego Bay. By these 'means a line of intercommunication will be formed between the most important and populous places, and facility offered for carriage of the produce of the most prodactive portion of the island. Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of moun tains which run east and west, nearly the length of the island ; the eastern portion, from Port Morant to Plantain Garden, is almost level ; while the northern runs through an exceedingly rich country, rising into hills separate from each other by spacious vales. The whole of the country traversed by the line abounds in the staple ar ticles of sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other spices, dye wood, drugs, &c. ; and as more than one-third of the land is still uncultivated, the production of these articles will, by i t a n d e increase digo, cae()a, ste „ facility aad fo d r t y t traffic, be at a willd o a t g t ton be brought into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety abounds along the line ; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes spontaneously, there are mahogany, lignum vita, ebony, Spanish elm, fine cedar, and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will also bring largely into use the valuable palmetto , and various other presentgreatiy uinneimrepoasedrte;d woods for agricultural and household purpcses, aad cabinet works. The mineral wealth of the country on the line is very considerable ; lead ore is extremely rich and heavily impregnated with silver; whilst every variety of coppr ore is found in abundance. Carbonate of lime, valuable as manure, e &c., of which Long Mountain is com posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic. The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction of this Railway render it highly probable that a considerable portion of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material* necessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the a t m ospheric principle of propulsion be adop ted, the necessit y for cut tings and embankments will be g enerally superseded. A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated laud required for the line, and the free use of all the timber, stone, &c., necessary for its con struction, will, it is expected , be ceded by the Legislative Assembl y ; of — T h e e m u a i n e e , r w u accompany eaacictahm the grants of the land, and may be leased, w hich may be developed by the construction to capitalists for the benefit of the Shareholders. Of the various imports, and the internal traffic, a satisfactory esti mate can scarcely be given—it will be sufficient to state, that Coals, Fish, Lime and Salt, empty Puncheons, Shingles, Bri c k s , Hoops, Lead, Timber, Provisions, Cattle, Flo n ur t , Tobacco, Hardwares, and Manu f a ctures generally, form importa sources of profit. The working expenses of the railway will require but a moderate per centage, and from all the circumstances already stated, and care ful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of railway will yield a very remunerative return upon the capital re tlileCceomanpadnEy,vans43,, quired, and the speedy communication established between the island and Great Britain, by means of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, will *enable the Directors in this country to exercise an efficient control over the management of the affairs of the island. The Committee propose to make provision in the Local Act for the payment of 4% per cent. interest upon the amount paid upon the shares from the passing of the Bill until the opening of the line.

This railway will commence at or near Didcot onthe Great Western Railway, and passing through Newbury to AndoVer, Will there unite with the proposed Manchester and Southampton Railway, and the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Railway. It is promoted under the belief, that whilst the Manchester and Southampton line must command the traffic of the great manufactu ring districts of LanCashire and Cheshire, of the Staffordshire Pot teries, the iron disVicts, and the larger portion of the midland and western counties, the traffic from the north-eastern portion of the country and'of Oxford requires another communication, and that a line so designed as to be worked in union with the main project of the Manchester' and Southampton Company, must obtain the coun tenance of that influential body, as well as of the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Company "(to the traffic of which Company this under taking will prove an important tributary), and will offer greater facilities to the public than any scheme dependent in its working on other interest. The line will afford the shortest route between Southampton and Oxford and all points to the north-east. It will, moreover, open an almost direct communication from Rugby, Oxford, and the eastern counties to Newbury, Andover, Salisbury, Yeovil, and Exeter, Poole, Dorchester, and the western counties ; also to Eareham, Gosport, and Portsmouth, and the whole eastern coast. In addition to these immense district advantages, the line now proposed confers en the whole kingdom the opportunity of reaching the great national fairs of Weyhill, Appleshaw, and Daley. Its length will be about 30 miles. - - Such arrangements will be made as on the one hand to ensure the success of the main design, that, namely, of having the line worked by, or in intimate union with, the Manchester and Southampton Railway Company, and, on the other, to meet the requirements of the traffic supplied by the lines under the control of the Great Wes tern Company. Completing, as this railway will do, the connexion from the north and east of England to Southampton and the southern coast; ob taining, moreover, as it must, a large accession of traffic from the grat network of railways centering at Oxford ; and giving an outlet at Southampton, the principal mail packet station of the kingdom, to the East and West Indies, Mexico, Turkey, Egypt, Spain, and Portu gal ; also to the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, and France—it is obvious that the return upon the cost construction (which will be moderate) must be highly remunerative. The project has been submitted to a deputation of Directors of the Manchester and SouthamPton Company, and the promoters feel justi lied in stating that every facility will be afforded by that company in bringing its merits fully before the Legislature.

This short but important line of railway is intended to commence at a point in tile Tean and Dove Valley Railway, at or near to Snareston, and to extend to Leicester. It will thus furnish a link necessary for carrying on the traffic brought to Leicester by means of the South Midlands, the Bedford, and the Peterborough Railways (all of which terminate at or near Leicester), to the Staffordshire Potteries and the great towns of Lan cashire and Cheshire, and complete an unbroken line of railway, by the best and nearest practicable route, from the various important railway termini at Leicester to Manchester and Liverpool. This great line of railway, it will be observed, traverses the finest coal fields in the country, and embraces the towns of Burton-upon- Trent, Uttoxeter, Cheadle, Leek, Macclesfield, Lane End, Stoke upon-Trent, and Newcastle-under-Lyme, and the important and rapidly-increasing potteries of Swadlincote and Gresley, as well as those of Staffordshire. An inspection of the map will show that the junction line now proposed is essential for the accommodation of the public, and it can not fail to be exceedingly remunerative to the proprietors. The undertaking has the cordial support of the Tean and Dove Valley Railway Company. In the allotment of shares preference will be given to Shareholders in that Company, and to parties locally interested in the line. The capital of the Company will;be 300,0001., divided into 15,000 shares of 201. each ; a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid on al lotment, and each original subscriber must execute the usual Parlia mentary and Subscription Contract, or his shares will be forfeited. Copies of the prospectus and map may be had from the Secretary and Solicitors ; and applications for shares must be made to the Secretary only, accompanied by a reference to a member of the Pro visional Committee, a banker, or to one of the solicitors of the Company. Shareholders in the Tean and Dove Valley Railway who apply, will please to state the number of shares they hold in that Company. Burton-on-Trent, Sept. 18, 1845.

Midge, Esq., 25, Great Tower-street, BANKERS. London—Messrs. Rogers, Olding, and Co. Leeds—Messrs. Beckett and Co The object of this railway is to connect, in the most direct course, the important and increasing manufacturing town of Leeds with the Metropolis, the want of which has long been felt, and is too univer sally acknowledged to need any comment, and it is under this con viction that this important undertaking, after several minute exa minations of the country through which it will pass, has been brought forward. The proposed line will commence at the junction of the Manche - ter and Leeds, and York and North Midland Railways, near Wake field, and will terminate by means of a junction with the Eastern Counties Railway at Bedford (to which place it is the intention of that Company to extend their line in the ensuing session of Parlia ment), and by thus availing itself as far as possible of the existing railways, will complete the most direct and least expensive trunk line, from London to Leeds, York, and Hull. It will pass in its route within an available distance of Wakefield, Pontefract, Doncaster, Rotherham, East Redford, Nottingham, Newark, Grantham, Melton Mowbray, Oakham, and Stamford. The importance of such a line is obvious, both from the nature of its course (embracing, as it does, a most extensive population within its limits) as also from the absence of any direct communication for the conveyance of passengers and merchandise. By the construction of this railway, railway communication to London will be given to Peterborough and Leicester (by means of the Syston and Peterborough Railway), to Newark and Nottingham (by the Nottingham and Lincoln line), and to Sheffield and Gainsbo rough (by the Sheffield and Gainsborough line), by a much shorter route than by any existing Railways. Independently of the advantages offered to the towns in the several counties through which this Line will pass, the Line in itself consi dered as a direct trunk line between London and Leeds, is sufficient to justify its formation, it being well known that the existing traffic between these two places would produce such a return on the capital required, as to admit of a dividend, equal to that of any railway in operation : but when it is borne in mind, that a Company is being formed for the purpose of connecting Glasgow with Leeds by means of a junction with the York and Carlisle Railway, no better line can be presented to the public, as it will not only effect a direct communica tion from Glasgow and the Western parts of Scotland to London, but would also connect Edinburgh and the Eastern parts of Scotland as well as Durham and Newcastle (by the York and North Midland, and Great North of England Railways), with the MetropolisAwhich would be considerably shorter than the accommodation offered by any other Company, and when cost of construction is considered, there cannot be a doubt but that preference would be given to the Great Leeds and London Direct Railway. The fact of the Eastern Counties Railway being connected by a branch line with the East and West India Docks on the river Thames, and the Railway Company having recently leased for 999 years the extensive pepper warehouses belonging to those docks, which are capable of receiving 12,000 tons of goods, together with wharfs adjoining, where the shipment and trans -shipment of,go_cet from all parts of the world can take place, is a most im"°lftsacittuil-ing ture in favour of the direct communication from the ma towns of Glasgow and Leeds offered by the Great Leedsain trunk line, Direct Railway, and by branch railways to the anuracturing laand London through which all goods from the whole of tahrnehouses tbr shipment, tricts could be conveyed at once to these x ‘ p s e - nse of cartage, and in thereby avoiding the present delay reality establishing an almost dire:el:den% an invaluable connexion between the rivers Clyde and Than are no engineering difficulties, It has been ascertained that there and the gradients remarkably good, and that the works will be easy, that it will not materially interfere nl with any ornamental property.

This railway is intended to commence at the east part of the city of Exeter, neat St. Sidwells, and after passing through Topsham. with a fork at Woodbury by Lympstone to Exmouth, will proceed, in an easterly direction, towards Sidmouth, and thence, near Colyton. Beer, Seaton, Axmouth, Lyme Regis, and Charmouth, to Bridport. At Bridport the line will divide, taking the course direct to Dor chester, to join the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, and the other, passing near Bridport harbour and AbbotsburY to Weymouth. At Exeter, junctions will be formed with the Bristol and Exeter and North Devon Railways, and at Exmouth with the South Devon, by means of their steam ferry, thus making the most direct route to Plymouth from London. Also at Dorchester and Weymouth it will be connected with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, as well as with the Dorchester and Southampton at Dorchester. It will be seen, on reference to the map, that by forming a junc tion with the lines of coast railway that have already been con structed or commenced from Exeter westward, and frers Dorchester eastward, and by following the coast as nearly as is practicable be tween its termini, this line will effectually complete a railway com munication from Dover to the Land's End, an undertaking in itself of great national importance, and likely to meet with the cordial sup port of the Government. In fixing the course which this Railway will take, it has been the careful consideration of the Promoters to project only such a Line as will afford the greatest facility of communication to the populous and important towns and fashionable watering places which are situated on and near that part of the Coast which this Railway is particu larly meant to accommodate; whilst, at the same time, the Agri cultural, Manufacturing, and Commercial Interests of this part o the Kingdom have been equally studied. This Line will also open such additional means of communication to the Port of Weymouth, the large Manufacturing Town and Har- • bour of Bridport, and the Harbour of Lyme Regis, as must even- - tually replace them in that high position, when compared with the other Ports of the Kingdom, which they formerly held. The Water- ing Places of Exmouth, Budleigh-Salterton, Sidmouth, Charmouth. Lyme-Regis, Weymouth, &c., will be thus thrown open to every part of England and Wales,'and accommodated with that facility of ac cess which they alone require to place them on an equal position with other favourite places of resort, for which the picturesque In land. and bold Coast-Scenery of Devonshire and Dorsetahire is pre eminently proverbial, and justly entitles them to hold. The following extract from the Report of the Select Committee of the House of Lords on the " Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Rail way," made on the 18th of June, 1845, will show the sense enter tained by that body of the importance of a line of railway in the di rection proposed by the present Company :—" In making their re port, the Committee feel it their duty to state that the great diffi culty with them, in deciding on the Bill referred to them, had arisen from the fear they entertained whether, in allowing the Great Western Railway to come down to the sea at Weymouth, or even be low Yeovil, they might not be creating a difficulty as to making a railway in the most desirable manner to Falmouth, the meat westerly port in the Channel." The great importance of this railway may be further estimated. from a consideration of the fact that the local population which would be benefited by ifs construction exceeds two hundred thousand persons. And also that Weymouth, which will be one of the termini of the line, is about to become a great National Harbour of Reffige and Packet-station, by the construction of a breakwater in Portland Roads, in accordance with the recommendation of the Govepriment Commissioners, for which purpose a grant was; made during the last session of Parliament for commencing the works. The additional population and traffic, which will thus be attracted to this port, will be very considerable. A preliminary survey has been made, and there are no peculiar engineering difficulties. The length of the main line , from Exe te rr to e i_ Dorchester, will be about fifty-two miles; and of the Forks, o sions, to Weymouth, and Exmouth, about sixteen miles ; inakln>t, in the whole, sixty-eight miles of railway. tio T n h o e f asernantimweanytscalocfutlhaeteldan, asdomesrsisa,rie,efrsayvpoo.riirierabtielye t cot : W t b h eili e n c ebe o fl a t a gi tru tra c. properties, and in the allotment of in al t l e a re re st f to the applications of persons locally earefi g , • p reared by the pro.
