The imperative necessity, alike in a social, commercial, or political point of view, for drawing as closely together as possible the capitals or 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 front 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 whole 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 thanght 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 i❑ Great Britain. _ _ _._. _..—.... ect?t n r e al ' fn i t Ira accessible i blobjectsetennoi terminus Company ,tu t i s d - will be r to ri n g o d b o t n a . l s n t r : e Ina: been tired upon for that purpot;e. thisus is Lomloti It Is proposed to make a tunnel from that point to the Great Western s'ation, from whence the line will be continued In as direct a course as possible to llolyhead In its progress it will pass through or near td the following towns: —Rickmansworth, C.:hesitant, 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 Kingtcwn, thence proceed onward to Stratford-on -Avon, approach within a short distance of Warwick, Alcester, and Worcester, whcre it will cross the Birmingham and Gloucester Railroad near to RroinFgrove, and proceeding thence to Kidderminster, Bridgnorth, and Wenlock, near to Broseley and Coalhrookdale; will enter the Vale of the Severn, which it will traverse to Shrewsb ur y ; i t will thence con ed to LIII-y-tnyneth, Ll -tv i rhaladr, ( ti t n t u b 3 c i , t_ i sf er Ou l te r. u .r p lawy the t c v o , tt ui rs p e rc O c f c the Severn, and passing Into the Vale and Mochnant, accommodating Weichpool, Oswestry, and Llangollen. At this point there are three passes, which have been inspected, and it remains for the engineer to select one as an entrance or passage into the Yale of the River Dee, when the line will proceed round b.) Corwen into the Vale of the River Aiwen, from whence it will run nearly parallel with the great Holyhead Ilail-uach-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, and Bristol; the Oxf 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 lag 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 filmed of any direct line of railway cominanication. On the other hand, the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway will gave 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 filially, enable travellers to complete the entire distance in ten hours. It will also ensure 'two mail deliveries in the day. Up to the point where the line approaches Corwen, 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 found de sirable, power will be taken in the Bi l 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 mails, the Directors fe. I 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 pr gress 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 eomplete and intimate to the last degree. As the leading aim of this Company is to 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, finally, the very lowest rate of fares will be adopted for both passengers and traffic, and the public will find in the improvement t.f the inferior carriages, and some additic.nal comforts for those of the first t lass, that the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Rail way will be placed in advance of any other now existing, and in all its details will be rendered worthy an enterprise so national in its character. Application will he 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 41. per cent. per a..num 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.

Commercial Bank of London National Pro\ Bank, Bridg,end and Cardiff. ENGINEER—CharIes Edward Barnard, Esq. This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Yanks, 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 fiat, and, obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition to its being of excellent quality for iron snaking, as is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdare, is also, like that of those districts, 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 tar 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 return for the capital invested, as has been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads or canala have been constructed to open tlsa mineral resources of other less promising vaPies in \Vales than the Rhondda, which is cele brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro ductions. An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary fir 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 •ui3 port of Cardiff, from whence, at present, they may be said to be almost excluded. It is intended that the line shall commence at linen Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by a natural pass between the hills at Ffrwd Ainws, 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 Lantrissetit, 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 favouraide gradients, so much so that it is confidently anticipated that the works will be executed very consiierably 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 of his subscription. Una! an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Corpany shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to whom power is given to allot the Shari s, 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 to Parliament.
