From this central placea branch will be formed to Norwich villw - Stokei forming a junction with the Liverpool and Crewo.rasilwiy. The trunk line will continue from Wilitchurch, and thrOugh or near Malpas, - have its northern terminus in the at.' of Chester. Ba estimating the probable amount of revenue which the Woreee ier and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of profit present theruselvee, such are the deneepopulation located along the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry to which they-lire 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 product brought to Stourport market t the - inexhaustible fields of coal and, miner 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 tio n 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 fir investment, or a wider range of accommodation for traftle and travelling. This project oonstitatea a lengthened link in the chain that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk of the West of England ;—lts southern terminus, Worcester, it the half way station of the London and Port Dynnilaen broad gauge line by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded west ward to Swansea and Aberystwith, and, eastward, to Warwick and Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lynn, Lincoln, anf Null. The line has been repeatedly and carefully examined by the Com pany's acting engineer, who reports that the rail for many miles may he 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 of com munication is acknowledged by the interests seated en its proposed course.

At Troubridge and Bradford, Messrs. Stone and Rodway At Bath, Messrs. Batehellor, Harford, and Staunton At Bridgewater, Messrs. G. S. and J. R. Poole At Tiverton At Truro At Penzance At Falmouth The object of this line is to effect a direct eommunlcation between London and the Land's End. In a national point of view such a line is indispensable. With the advantage of a direct railroad, Falmouth, from it. position at the western extremity of the kingdom, would undoubtedly long since live been the principal port on that coast. With the advantage of at least 280 miles of heavy road, that place has attained its high po sition as a Packet Station. Southampton, with far less natural ad ranta,ges, has, since the opening of the South-Western Railway, in creased its imports from 2 00,0001. to 3.000,000/. per annum. At Bris tol, before the opening of the Great Western Railway, the imports were declining ; since then they have very considerably increased. The merits of a line to the Land's Eud as an investment for ca pital, It was not left to the present Company to discover. The Groat Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways having already reached Exeter, it has been in contemplation to extend that line - -to Fal mouth by way of Plymouth ; and various other projects have been set'on foot on the conviction that Falmouth must be reached by railway. The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Company will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed from thence by Eccleshall, Oftley, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donnington Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Dawley, Madeley, and Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale; there, crossing the proposed " Wor cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenlock edge, by Rushbury and Eaton-under-Haywood, to Wistanstow, in the county of Salop, where it will run into, and form a junction with the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway." The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire coal-field, to a dep6t imposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the supply of South Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and Herefordshire, and also from whence it will be conveyed by the " Hereford, Shrews bury, and North Wales Railway," into Montgomeryshire. and the , neighbouring counties, where coal does not exist. It is impossible to calculate the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the direct railway communication thus opened between the Shropshire coal-fleld, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown and Llanidloes, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at those places, and the flannel manufacturers, now depend ing upon water power, will, by the cheapness of coal, be enabled to employ steam, and to extend their trade in proportion to the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, in preference to any other. The importance of this subject will have its due weight with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused by the stoppage of the mills from an insufficiency of water. A considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shrop shire ironmastar“ or the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh bourhood of Much Wenlock to the furnaces, by several transits of land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey it direct into the heart of the works, and at one-third of the expense. By its junction with the " Grand Junction" and the " Hereford and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communica tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, York and Hull, and Swansea and South Wales. Asa junction line alone (connecting as it will such important rail ways), s large passenger traffic may be depended 'von, but when it Is considered that the centre of the line passes through a densely populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a sufficient local traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of capital required to be embarked. The line, which will not interfere with any property of an orna mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles in length, and will be constructed at much less than the average cost. Such important local co-operation has been secured, that no oppo sition is anticipated or can be sustained against the measure. The liability of the Shareholders wh'_ be limited, by the Act, to the amount of their subscription to the capital stock ; and power will be applied for to allow Interest at the rate of four per cent per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the further calls, from the date of each payment until the opening of the line ; and the first deposit being paid, a further call will not be made until the Act o Parliament shall have been obtained.

The London, Bath, and Bridgewater Company having amalga mated with this Company, the immense local influence commanded by them will now contribute to the great national object of a direct line ; while means have been taken for securing the traffic and afford ing all the accommodation contemplated by that Company. The Direct Western availing itself of the Great Western Railway so far as Reading, pursues its course by or near Newbury, Hunger ford, Great Bedwin, Marlborough, Devizes, the manufacturing dis trict of Trowbridge (from which a diverging line will be carried by Bradford direct to Bath), Westbury, Frome, Shepton Mallet, Wells (from which another di verg i ng line will be taken to Bridgewater), "I " t "buTT to Taunton, being shorter by about thirty-two miles than anyt u n e ne i 1 the reat tingroor projected railways between these points, and without thiWs ;linteerndisr)iestlfoavtehaede Latondri's leased to y Gm Taunton the Bristol and Exeter Railway (now v e ert n o d n , , r w sum hen ou ce th, lt s is t. proposed to carry Ives, and Penzance, being lately proposed line by way ot l. l bY about sixty miles than the oath, and effecting, in the whole distance from London to ralmouth, K ' and eaonbodutTnityleirtoetynm, itsts already thorough Direct sufit- With respect to the traffic betweellis needless to say more than that there Is cient to justify the construction of this Wes tern ; that it will Shorten the distance from London to recTitv:Trloeet; &boa; 3? 11 ii . • , , • rse rich awl populottS agricultural FORK OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

This railway will, therefore, form the only connecting link re quired in the great chain of railway communication from east and west through the heart of the kingdom, uniting the shores of the German Ocean on the east with those of the Irish Sea on the west, and traversing in its course the rich agrtcultural districts of the eastern midland, and western counties, and accommodating the im portant manufacturing towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lei- . center, and Shrovsbury. But another most important advantage , that will result from the formation of this line will consist in the fad or its affording, in connexion with the proposed South Union, or Manchester and Potteries Railway, by far the shortest and best route between Derby, Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, Peterborough, Leicester, and Loughborough, and the extensive and populous dis tricts of the Staffordshire Potteries, Macclesfield, Stockport, and Manchester. By the proposed line the distance between Nottingham and Derby and Manchester will be at least from 15 to 20 miles less than by the present circuitous route by Sheffield. The traffic on this line must necessarily be equal, if not superior, to that of any line in the district. The length - of the line v;illVabout 33 miles, through a countr; presenting no difficulties of more than an ordinary kind for Its con struction.

No call will be made until the Act is obtained, and no subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription ; and the usual power will be taken to allow interest at four per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening of the line. The subscribers' agreement and the Parliamentary contract must be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip cer tificates, of which 14 days' notice will be given ; and the deposits Paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be forfeited. •-: , Applications for Shares may be made to the solicitors.

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 the railway the whole line will be traversed in eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an average of 308. per passenger. The difference in the freights between the northern and souther; sides of the island and England is such, that independently of tilt saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northers side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at much lees expense than at present, and will afford them the advan tage of shipping at all times from the very exce:lent harbour of King ston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed ports 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 hallway, and proceed thence by or near Rock 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 thstsouthern 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 the increased facility for traffic, be greatly increased ; and cotton, indigo, cocoa, &c., and dry stuffs, at present unimported, will again be brought into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety abounds along the line ; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes spontaneously, there are mahogany, lignum vital, 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 woods for agricultural and household purposes, and 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 copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate of lime, valuable as manure, &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 atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cut tings and embankments will be generally superseded. A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated land 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 Assembly ; —the mineral wealth, which may be developed by the construction of the line, will accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased 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 stifficient to state, that Coals, Fish, Lime and Salt, empty Puncheons, Shingles, Bricks, Hoops, Lead, Timber, Provisions, Cattle, Flour, Tobacco, Hardwares, and Manufactures generally, form important sources of profit. The working expenses of the railway will require but a moderate per tentage, 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 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. Applications for shares in the usual form may be made to the Provisional Committee, at the offices of the Company, 43, Moorgate-street ; to Messrs.

Thi s Company has been formed for the purpose of constructing a railwiy from London to Maidstone, and from thence to Ashtbrd, joining there the South-Eastern Railway to Folkestone, Dover, and Canterbury, and a branch railway from Ightham, near Seveneaks, to Tunbridge. The main line Is intended to commence by a junction with the near New Cross, passing through ' erica through Otford, near Sevenoaks, Mailing', and Ditton, to the town of • n o• E c mw i m p at a tyh l station there near Week-street, in Maidstone;iLtgeohwn Ight h am, o ah : nT d t oohw C ia t n3 y mig d a w o l ae n yn Railway, front of the Sesslons-house and county gaol, from thence posing through Hollingbourne, Harrietsham, Lenham, and Charing, to Ashford. The line to Tunbridge will branch from Ightham, and take the course of the valley by West Peckham and Hadlow to Tunbridge, communicating with the South-Eastern Railway from Tunbridge to Tunbridge Welle. The whole length of the lines to be constructed will be sigtiaiCour miles. The country has been carefully surveyed, and, with the exception of a tunnel through the Chalk-hill, near Otford, the works are not of an expensive character, and the lines are free from curves or gra dients of an objectionable nature. The line will be laid down so as to be adapted to the locomotive or atmospheric principle, which ever mode of propulsion it may ulti mately be found most advisable to adopt. By reference to the map of Kent it will be perceived that the lines of the proposed railway are those indicated by the natural features of the country ; that such railways are calculated to effect in the most advantageous manner the great ()bled); of direct " through" communication between London and/Folkestone and Dover, and be tween London and Tunbridge and Tunbridge Wells, taking the nearest practicable line to Bromley, Sevenoaks, Maidstone, Lenham, and Ashford, and by a comparatively trifling expense in forming a short branch from We.stwell, to join the present railway from Ashford to Canterbury, at Wye, placing the city of Canterbury, and the whole of the district communicating with that city, within a few miles in distance and a few minutes in time as near to London as could be effected by the outlay of a vast sum in the construction of a separate railway to Canterbury, affording also the means of railway commu nication between Canterbury and Maidstone (the county towns of East and West Kent), and the other principal towns, and generally throughout the coanty. In further explanation of the merits of the proposed lines, It may be noticed that Maidstone, the county town of Kent, is situate in the centre of the county, on the river Medway, contains the county gaol, courts of justice, cavalry depot, and various other public esta blishments ; that the assizes and sessions are held at Maidstone, and that the county business generally is there conducted ; that by means of the central situation of Maidstone, and the advantages of the navi gation of the river, a very large wholesale business is carried on there ; that the town and immediate vicinity contain numerous and extensive paper manufactories, mills, breweries, iron fouuderies, and other works, and that the district surrounding Maidstone comprises the most extensive hop and fruit plantations in Kent. The necessity for the construction of new lines of railway for the purpose of reducing the distance between London and Folkestone and Dover, and between London and Maidstbne, has been fully admitted ; and the want of railway communication between Bromley, Sevenoaks, Wrotham, and other principal places in the centre of the county, not only with London, but with the city of Canterbury and Maidstone, has been of serious injury to a very large portion of the county. And it has been thought most advisable for the interests of the county and the public, that a: measure of such local as as well as general importance should be undertaken by a Company formed for the express purpose of carrying out the project ; uninflu enced by any conflicting interests, and connected with, and as far as practicable identified with, the county. It has also been considered advisable that this measure should be supported entirely upon its owh merits, without attempting to engross the traffic of the northern side of the county, or to oppose the gonstruction of any railways which that portion of the county may consider necessary for their accom modation. Under this impression, several gentlemen, resident in and near Maidstone, have, with the general sanction and support of the landed proprietora interested in the measure, and of the inhabitants of Maidstone, united with an influential body of capitalists in the formation of this Company, with the full intention of carrying out the project as a measure for the benefit of the county'and the public, feeling confident that the very great traffic which this railway must necessarily command will enable the proprietors to provide every accommodation the public can require at a very moderate charge, and will also afford a very liberal remuneration for the amount of capital to be invested in the undertaking. The Provisional Committee have no reason to anticipate any effec tual opposition to a measure so obviously beneficial, and so generally and powerfully supported by those best qualified to form an opinion of its merits, and most interested in carrying it into effect. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at 4 per cent. per anuum on the deposit, as well as upon all future calls, from the date of the passing of the Act until the opening of the railway, and no shareholder will be liable beyond the amount of his subscription Applications for shares to be made in the usual form, to the Secre tary, at the Company's °nice, No. 1, Colernau-street-buildings, Moor gate-street, London ; to the Solicitors ; or to the following Stock and Sharebrokers :—Mr. John Wagg, 4, Shorter's-court, Throgmorton street, and Messrs.

Speaking of theptoject of a direct line from London to Liverpool through the Trent Valley, which bore much the tonne relation to the Birmingham and Grand 'Junction that this Witt to the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways, he it reverted to have said :—" I consider that the com munication between the metropolis and the great outporta to be, not a que , stionofhours, but a qtieetion of minutes." Of the necessity of this particular line, Parliament has already expressed an opinion ; for in the report of - the Committee on the Wilts, Soinerset, and Weymouth line, which was promoted by the Great Western Railway Company, it was stated that that Compa n y h a d been required to pledge itself not . hereafter to oppose a direct line to Falmouth ; and it may be hither observed, that a proposed line from Plymouth to Falmouth 'was last session rejected, on the ground that it might be supposel to interfere with that great national object. The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, and correct eetimates of the expenditure and returns are in a state of for waniness, and the whole will be ready for the next session of Par liament. It is sufficient, as to these points, here to state that there are no engineering thfiletilties in any part of the line which have not been repeatedly surmounted in other cases ; that the first portion will be constructed at an unusually small expense; that the undertaking Will meet with the cordial support, concurrence, and co-operation of the landowners, and that the Directors are justified in asserting that this will prove to be one of the most remunerative railways in the kingdom.

Thence it will pass on the 'Weal side of Timsbury, and go on through the numerous and ex ' toilette coal works by Radford, Camerton, and Clandown, to Rad , stoke: Thence to Klineftlown, which it will skirt on the western side s anti thence through Babiagton to the eastern side of Newberry, from which Mere will be a branch line to Frome, passing by Elm on I -the southern side. The main line will hold its course beside the Upper and Lower Vobstef coal works and Goodeve's coal works, through Melcombe Wood to the southern point of Leigh-upon-Mendip. Thence it will proceed over Long Cross Bottom to the western side ' Of limbic% and to the eastern side of Shepton Mallet, and the western Cie cf HoWnshire, its course thence will be along the western sides Of tlßdi, Cresscombe, and binder, to the southern point of the city of Wells.

Thence to the northern side of Sutton Mallet, then over Sutton Moor to . Chedzoy, passing over Fowler's Plot, then through Dimwear to the southern side of the Bridgwater station on the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and thence Spanning , the railway into the borough of Bridgwater. The length of the main line will be about forty-three miles; that of the branch from Newberry to Frome, four miles seven furlongs. The line has been carefully laid down after accurate investiga tio►Ls, and it presents no engineering difficulties whatsoever. There will be no tunnel or viaduct, or other costly work, and there will be no heavy cuttings or embankments. The line passes through a fer tile, rich, and populous district, and serves all the principal towns in the county of Somerset, and brings them into connexion with all the regions traversed by the Great Western and the Bristol and Exeter Railways, and with the metropolis. It is so obvious that this Grand Junction Railway must command an immense traffic in passengers, goods, and minerals, that it would be idle to dilate on the subject. A prospectus containing the list of the Provisional Committee, the amount of capital required, the number of shares to be issued, and the names of the officers, will be published iu a few days, accompanied by a map of the line and the adjacent country, laid down upon the scale of one inch to a mile.

TAYLOR'S FLOATING BREAKWATER.—We regret :o notice the exceedingly unsatisfactory nature of the reports which have been 'made to the Admiralty on the subject of Captain Taylor's floating breakwater off Brighton by the Coast-guard officers. These reports are embraced in a re turn which has been printed by order of the House of Com mons. It appears that for many months there was no gale from the south. west—the quarter necessary to test the powers and action of the breakwater, and when at last, on the 2d of August, a strong breeze sprang up, the experiment can hardly be said to have been really tried; for the report of the Lieutenant of the revenue cutter Tartar, whilst it states that the breakwater had no effect that he could perceive, in part accounts for this result by saying that the sections of the breakwater were moored very slack, and the inspecting commander further observes, that "from the small number of sections laid down, also from those being so slackly moored and improperly placed, it is impossible to form any correct opinion of their efficiency for shelter, or whether they could stand the force of a gale, broadside on." More than three months previously Lieutenant Westbrook had in his official report objtcted to the insufficiency of the size of the breakwater, as too small to warrant any decided opinion ; he said "he much regretted being re quired to express an opinion upon so few as only three sections of only sixty feet long each." If it were worth while to examine the matter, it was worth while to have afforded means for trying it on a sufficient scale. That it is worth while to try the experiment fully we can hardly doubt, when we consider how vast a sum is about to be sunk in our southern harbours ; and, if some time has been unpro fitably lost, it is but the stronger reason for taking a different course now. The comparative ease and rapidity with which a floating breakwater can be constructed is a strong argu ment for pursuing the inquiry into its efficiency; for, sup posing that it should turn out that its efficiency also is merely comparative, it may yet be desirable to employ it whilst the more solid structure is in course of erection ; and when that object is effected, the floating breakwater may be allowed either to remain as an auxiliary to it, or may be transferred elsewhere to a station of less importance. The Admiralty ought scarcely to have needed Lieutenant Westbrook's hint ; they might have known that 60 yards of floating breakwater, loosely moored, could not be expected to have any perceptible effect ; it was no more than an overgrown buoy, and the sea would merely play round it; but whose fault is it that a larger section was not presented to the action of the waves ? Surely, not that of Captain Taylor, who, we believe, has made every pecuniary sacrifice for the success of his experiment, while the Admiralty have contented themselves with re maining cold spectators of his struggles. A breakwater of from one quarter to half a mile is the least that would indi cate the worth of the plan ; and when we consider the num ber and weight of the scientific reasons that have been urged in support of the opinion that the action and influence of the wind upon the sea are very superficial, we hope to see the experiment fairly tried.— Times. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF MRS. THEORALD.—This lady, so well known in the sporting world, especially by those who hunt with the Queen's hounds, died on Saturday, at eight o'clock, in consequence of the injury she received on Fri day by a fall from her horse. The facts of the case are these : —Mrs. Theobald, in company with a gentleman, on passing by the fields of Mr. Humphries, farmer, of Hanworth, made a request to be allowed to try her horse over the stubble, which was readily granted. She entered, but had not gone far, when the horse fell, and the crutch of her saddle breaking at the same time, she was thrown on her head with great violence. She remained senseless for some time. Mr. Hum pries sent immediately for Mr. flobarton, surgeon, of Hamp ton, who readily attended. He, however. from the first, saw that there existed no hopes of Mrs. Theobald's recovery. The unfortunate lady was removed to her residence at Feltham, and, .as we have already stated, she died on Saturday, An.inquest was • yesterday afternoon held on the body before Mr. Mills, deputy- : coroner for West Middle sex , w h en t h e jury relltirAcd af Verdict ce Accidental death." 44t1 , , z t i A , 11 IYI,, z !DIO~ ...„ Corienxn kii - ___..- ._ l 6), LONDON, TUESDAY.
