PROSPECT [JS, ' The imperative necessity, alike in a social, commercial, or political point of view, for drawing as closely together as possible the capitals of England and Ireland, has suggested the formation of the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway,—a line, the value of which it is difficult to over estimate, since it will be found to take a nearly direct course from the English metropolis to Holyhead. It will pass through or near the populous and noble county town of Shropshire (as yet unprovided with railway communication), and will traverse along its whale extent districts second in wealth, re sources, trAde, and commerce, to none in the empire ; bring them more nearly and immediately in contact with London and Dublin, than has hitherto been thought possible. This project is wholly in dependent of any other line already before the public, and as it possesses national advantages which none can surpass, must, when carried out, become, without exception, the most important railway in Great Britain. _ One of the first objects of this Company will be to obtain a most central an I accessible terminus in London, and Farringdon-street has been fixed upon for that purpose. It is proposed to make a tunnel from that point to the Great Western station, from whence the line will be continued in as direct a course as possible to Holyhead In its progress it will pass through or near to the following towns : —Rickmansworth, Chesham, Wendover, and Aylesbury; it will then proceed to within a short distance of Bicester and Deddington, and from thence to Banbury ; it will touch upon Kineton or Kingtown, thence proceed onward to Stratford-on-Avon, approach within a short distance of Warwick, Alcester, and Worcester, where it will cross the Birmingham and Gloucester Railroad near to Bromsgrove, and proceeding thence to Kidderminster, Bridgnorth, and Wenlock, near to Broseley and Coalbrookdale, will enter the Vale of the Severn, which it will traverse to Shrewsbury; it will thence con tinue its route up the course of the Severn, and passing into the Vale Of the River Vyrnwy, will proceed to Littn-y-myneeh, Llandrhaladr, and 3fochnant, accommodating Welehpool, Oswestry, and Llangollen. At this point there are three passes, which have been inspected, and it remains for the engineer to select one as :in entrance or passage into the Vale of the River Dee, when the line will proceed round by Corwen into the Vale of the River Alwen, from whence it will run nearly parallel with the great Holyhead. Mall-emelt-road, by Pentre voelas to Capel Cerrig, it will then descend the Vale of Nant Francon t o Bangor and Holyhead. This line will in its progress feed, and be also fed by the most consi siderable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, sad Bristol ; the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton ; the London and Birmingham ; and the South Staffordshire railway. As this last line will connect Dudley, Bilston, Wednesbury, Walsall, and Lichfield with the Derby Railway and 'the Grand Junction Railway, it would be superfluous to expatiate on the advantages of bring ing all those important centres of the coal and iron trade and other traffic, and the vast coal and iron fields of Shropshire into close intercourse, and thus establishing the cheapest and quickest means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and the furnaces of Staffordshire, and the markets of Dublin, London, and Birmingham. The success of the undertaking is secured beyond a doubt, by the obvious fact that it will not only bring the richest mineral and manufacturing portions of England much nearer to the two capitals, but it will open for the carriage of the valuable pro duce of these districts the intermediate country not at present pos sessed of any direct line of railway communication. On the other hand, the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway will give to London and the neighbourhood of Birmingham a route to Dublin shorter by nearly seventy miles than that of any other exist ing railroad ; and finally, enable travellers to complete the entire distance in ten hours. It will also ensure two mail deliveries in the day. to the point where the line approaches Comet], no engineering difficulties are presented. At Corwen a deviation from the straight line may be requisite to avoid tunnelling, after which a straight line will be resumed to Bangor, where that already in construction will be adopted for the rest of the route to Holyhead ; or, if fount de sirable, power will be taken hi the Bill to continue an independent line by Beaumaris to Holyhead. After a careful investigation of the traffic arising from passengers, the conveyance of mineral and agricultural produce, and the direct transmission of the malls, the Directors fed warranted in anticipating a return of at least ten per cent. on the capital invested. A treaty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run powerful steamers between the harbours of Holyhead and Kingston on the arrival of the trains, so that passengers and merchandise may be booked throughout from London to Dublin, Including all the inter mediate stations, and be thus enabled to complete the entire distance in ten hours, without the inconvenience so painfully felt of changing from the conveyance of one proprietary to that of another. The railways now in active progress in Ireland, running from Dublin north and south throughout the heart of the island, render it self evident that the chain of communication between the sister countries is, by this present undertaking, rendered at once complete and intimate to the last degree. As the leading aim of this Company is is save time and distance, every attention of the Directors, 'and every advancement in science wilt be made available to gain the utmost possible amount of speed, com patible with safety, the lines being formed expressly for this end ; while, filially - , the very lowest rate of fares will be adopted for both passengers and traffic, and the public will find in the improvement of the inferior carriages, and some additional comforts for those of the first class, that the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Rail way will be placed in advance of any other now existing, and is all its details will be rendered worthy an enterprise so national in its character. Application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the next session. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per annum on the amount of the subscriptions paid up ; and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. Applications for Shares may be made, in the subjoined form, to the following Solicitors, Brokers, and Agents :—Mr. Roger Mortimer, Throgmorton-street, London; B. R. Pemberton, Esq., Atherton buildings, Mr. Win. Kerl, and Messrs. Schultz and Carr, Liverpool; Mr. J. R. Lane, Birmingham ; James Jamieson, Esq., Leeds ; Messrs.

This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Vallics, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district, one of the richest and most important in South Wales, which is at present without the means of transit for its immense and valuable products. It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of Glamorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal In Im mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly flat, and, obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition to Its being of excellent quality for iron making, as is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdare, is also, like that of those distriots, of the very bast description for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de scription of coal established for steam purposes over any other, that the demand for it far exceeds the supply, and promises, accord ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super sede all others for purposes of steam navigation. This source of traffic alone will afford a handsome retura for the capital invested, as has been demonstrated in every instance whore even tram-roads or canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other less promising vallies in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining ita pro ductions. An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by means of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any other This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich vales of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great market town and port of Cardiff, from whence, at present, they may be said to be almost excluded. It is intended that the line shall commence at Bitten Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by a natural pass between the hills at Ffrwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication under the most advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the Bristol channel. A preliminary survey has already been made by competent par ties, and it is found that the country admits of highly favourable gradients, so much so that It is confidently anticipated that the works will be executed very considerably under the advertised ca pital. The landowners along the line are favourable to this undertaking, and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the Provisional Committee. _ _ _ _ No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his de posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount et his subscription. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to whom power is given to allot the Shares, and to apply the funds of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its forma tion, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted t• Parliament. Power will be applied for in the Act (and in the meantime is hereby given to the Managing Directors as above), to raise any addi tional capital, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or otherwise, with any other company or companies, and also to nomi nate the first Directors of the Company. In the allottmcnt of Shares, a preference will be given to landowners on the line and other parties locally interested.

The importance of connecting these termini would, alane, be suffi cient to ensure full support to the present undertaking, from the dense population, manufacturing influence, and general traffic of the towns in question ; but when it is considered that this connexion, or junction, stands in the very centre of the en ti re ra il way s y s tem of England, and that it will complete the chain of railway communi cation and transit between the river Humber, the towns of Sneineld and Macclesfield, the Staffordshire Potteries, the Salt Wiches of Cheshire, the city of Chester, the docks of Liverpool and Birkenhead, Bangor Ferry, and the harbour of Holyhead, the advantages are too manifest to be for a moment questioned.

The Provisional Committee of the North London j unction Rail. way Company have great satisfaction In informing th e i r subscribers that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional Commit tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railway s north of the Thames of such a character as to assure the m that the City termi nus of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City traffic north of London. To effect this important object, an area o f 10 acr es ofground (the southern boundary of which Is within 500 y ards of the Bank of England) has been most carefully surveyed and valued, and the re port of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as lo have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing tile entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved ... ..), them to In crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0001. The Provisional Committee consider it of p ara mount Importance to secure within the limits of their City ter min us , the amplest and mast complete accosmnodation for the Mac of each of the railway companies who may co-operate with them , an ob ject which will b e effected by opening the very extensive and valuable spac e o f ground alluded to, within the centre of the City of London. In conjunetlon with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embr ace that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties Railway in Shorediteb, which will effect an entire junction between tile eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same time afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail. ways, which reach London to the north of the Thames, and give full development to each of their schemes by creating f or 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 Com pany, will be added that of those companies also who will eventually co-operate with the North London Junction Railway C ompany __ , and the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and Importance will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable lino of railway. A. lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district through 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 ba pla c ed la in;rnediatp commurication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a fad By of connexion with its suburban localities, necessarily affording it the greatest accommodation. With such important local resources, therefo-e, together with the vast traffic on which the skareholders 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 oatlay of the proposed capital. Tbat revenue will ho derived thus : The daily passeuger traffic on the Great Western amounts to 3,345, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirds of which reach the City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,400 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. Passengers 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.

Williams and Umlek, Ludlow SEcIETART—John Trevor, Esq. This Railway will commence at the important town of Wolver hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, Trysull and Claverley, to the manutacturing town of Brldgnorth ; 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. 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, sheer, 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 an immense traffic. To the towns embraced in this line, the ♦slue of obtaining thereby, at the cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will be of the ut most importance. 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 po4ed 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 ofthe 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 acknowlcdVdclainl on public support. The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and can be cOnStrueted at a Inc/deride cost, and has obtained the approval of the ``rv.~ ♦.. {. landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly pro tected. , Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the Company will be under the direction and control of the Committee of Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into such arrange ments as shall best servo the interests ofthis Company, and the public, with existing or projected Companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of Company. Power will be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow Mu' per cent. interest on the calls. Preference to the allotment of shares will be given to those locally interested, and to the shareholders of lines in connexion with this.

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 I7ckfleld and Botherfield, 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 neighbourhood of Tonbridge Wells, and more mediately it *ill 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 will 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, Rintaner, Isfield, Little Horsted, Uckfield Mtsresfield, Frainfield, East Hoathly, Mayfield, Withyham, Wadhurst, Newhaven, and Harbour, Waldron, Fletching, Buxted, Rotherfield, Lamberhurst, Front, Ticehurst, Groombridge, Hartliehl, Ashurst. The existing local ,traflic 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 its 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 lino has been submitted to the Earl of Liverpool and the Earl of Af ergavenny, through whose lands the line will run for several miles, and has been approved by then'. The other landowners 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 Att 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 funds of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its formation, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to he 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.
