At several large public meetings held In October last, at Brentford, Igeworth, and Hounslow, resolutions were unanimously passed In moor ~r .c.l,l6hing * railway communication with the metropolis, and the oneette notices were actually published; but the difficulty nt . ebtaild'eg a suitable terminus in London Induced the principal prop oter& of this important undertaking to postpone bringing their e qkeillo bedwe the public. This impediment has now been overcome, and by a proposed June • ilea with the Central Terminus and, the Thames Embankment Rail way, parties travelling by this line will be enabled to proceed directly so the heart or the metropolis;, and by the united Railways, 'which will ramify from this point, to almost every part of the country without interruption.. By the intended Junction, also, with the Great Western Railway, at or near West Drayton, and by the intersection of the Birmingham Dilialwir at Kensington, these important lines will be supplied with direct, assess to the Central Terminus, and thence to the City, or to the Southern and Eastern Linos. The proposed. line, • whi h passes through or near the extensive and populous Suburbs of Pimlico, Chelsea,. Brompton, Kensington, Ham mersmith, Chiewick, and Turnhanr-green, to the town of Brentford, and thence to Isleworth, Hounslow, and West Drayton; has received the most cordial approbation and promises of support from the great majority' of -the inhabitants and other parties locally interested. This hem is singularly free from engineering difficulties; and, although there is almost a complete continuity of town and village throughout the whole distance, yet, from the care with which the line has been laid down, so as to avoid property covered with bund ling*, and to take advantage of open and unoccupied spaces, the vatueof the ground to be purchased will not be nearly so great as, from *bet nature of the localities, would be inferred.

LOCAL AGENTS. It appears that England will be divided longitudinally by four great Inee of railway, which will become so many main trunks, intersec- Mg and intersected by numerous lines, both transverse and oblique, opening rapid and readyCoinnumication wrth the intermediate dis tricts, with packet stations, and with sea-port towns. The more easterly of these, which is also the longest, originating at Newcastle upon- Tyne, and passing through York, Peterborough, and eambridge, may be said to terminate in London, whence all places are accessible. The Second line, counting westward, is more tortuous, and has also a common northern terminus with the preceding, by which its ad vantages are materially restricted. This line, descending the Ere wash Vale, and passing through Rugby and Oxford, becomes a Soutia ampton Rue by falling into the South-Western Railway at Basing stoke (active In design th an th e prece di ng ; em pl o yi n g the steep and narrow railway call e d t h e B i rm i ngham and Gloucester as its first link, It Tlie third lo ng it u di na l li ne , er th e most westerly, la still more de traverses nearly In a r i g ht li ne t h e least populous a nd most undulating . _ ~.. _, parts ot Glou cester, Berks, Wilts, and Haut e; atul,properlY sPealtmg has no Independent terminus. A large lo ng i tudinal section of the kingdom—the West Midland district —,a district inviting a s i m il ar spec i es of accommodat i on Crum concentrated local advantages, still remains unprovided with a chief trunk. line ; and It is contemplated to remedy this deficiency by the present undertaking, or a fourth longitudinal line. Adopting Birmingham as a northeni terminus of the 'West Mid land, Manchester, and Southampton Railway, it is proposed to carry a line through or near to Stratford-on -Aron, thence between Moreton, merge in the Soot qtthheapirepe..MiddiaiihiMs' W.iitihnehteloantelteaitlfrixat;.'inile. stow, Northieach, Fairford, Crieklade, and Swindon where it will and the district traversed by it is gently undulating and densely ' pled. At its southern terminus, Swindon, it becomes identical with the South and Midlands, by means of which it opens a moot direct communica tion hitherto suggested with the harbours of Weymouth, Christ- Pool e , and Siuthampton . At its no rt h ern terminus, Bir- It communicates with a seri es o f l i nes, projected, in pro_ church, mihsh m a, pro gress, or completed, which will form the most direct line that can ever be constructed between the southern ports of England and the • • great Man*acturing dis tries. - - r • In..thit .41 1 14 1 1. 5. 1 . 11 M A,, h 4. e West t o Southampton Railway project, a combination of advantages pre sents itself—the result of a design, to a great extent, but of contin gencies also. If it be desirab;e that the terminus of every railway shoulll be situated'ar some commercial or populous place, in this re spect the present project is peculiarly fortunate. If Government be resolved on countenancing the shortest and most direct lines, it will be seen, by laying a rule on the map of England from Salisbury to Manchester, that a course due north and south between these places will pass very nearly through the towns mentioned in this prospectus, as being on the proposed line ; and actual measurement has shown this line to be the shortest between Southampton and Manchester by 26 miles. By the construction, therefore, of little more than 60 miles of rail, as here proposed, the shortest, most direct, and convenient communication between Manchester and Southampton will be es tablished —a line, also, however superior in position to others pro mising similar advantages, may yet be considered as competing with none, but as an independent work, originating at Birmingham and terminating in the seaports of Weymouth, Christchurch, Poole, and Southampton.

NORTHERN COUN'FIES (ROSS, SUTHER. .1.,1 LAND, AND CAITHNESS DIRECT RAILWAY. To afford the very important division of the Kingdom the benefits of railway communication, and to promote and stimulate the pro gressively increasing pastoral, agricultural, and commercial, improve ments, which of late years have made such rapid strides in these counties, it is proposed to form, under the sanction of the most influential patronage, a railway by the most direct practicable route, to connect these northern and producing districts with the southern and consuming portions of the empire. Adopting the line which may be found the shortest to Dingwall consistent with a due regard to economy in its execution and work ing, and to the rights and interests of private parties, and from Ding wall by Novar to Bonar-bridge, the distaz ce of the county of Suther land from Inverness would be many miles shorter than by any other route. From Bonar the line would pass by Lairg, through the valleys of the Brora and of the Erie, and by Strath ilelmsdale to the Thurso water; thus nearly bisecting the county of Sutherland through its length and passing into the most populous parts of Caithness, diverging to the right and left to Wiek and Thurso. A branch might be formed to connect the coast of Sutherland with the trunk line. In Ross-shire a branch would be formed from the main line to In vergordon, and this brunch might be extended to the burgh of Tain. Arrangements are being made for having the lines (the courses of which are but generally indicated above) carefully examined by ex perienced surveyors and engineers ; and as soon as data which may be relied on have been matured, a full prospectus, with the names of the promoters and Provisional Committee and detailed particulars, will be published. . Meantime communications from parties interested in the proposed undertaking may: up to the Ist of October next, be addressed to William Mackenzie, £sq., of Muirton, W.S., by Dingwall ; Hugh limes Cameron, Esq., Provost of Dingwall ; G.

Toms, Esq At Truro At Penzance At Falmouth The object of this line is to effect a direct communication 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, situatioa at the western extremity of the kingdom, would undoubtedly long since have been the prin c i pa l por t on that coast. With the advantage of at least 280 miles o f h eavy roa d, th a t place has attained Its high po sition as a Packet St at i on. Sout h am pton, with far less natural ad vantages, has, since the, opening of the South - W estern Railwa y , in creased its import s f rom 200 , 000/. t o 3,000,0001. per annum. At Bris tol, before th e opening of the Great W es t er n Railway, the imports were declining ; s i nce t h en they h ave very considerably increased. The merits of a li ne t o t h e L an d's End as an investment for ca pital, it was no t l e f t to the present C om p a ny to discover. The Great Western and Bristol an d E xe t er Railway 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 object of this prospectus is to show that no other line than the resent can ultimately satisfy the exigencies of the country in regard to this, its most important isutport—" the natural Packet Station of the empire." The present project is distinguished by this—that it is direct. It is as nearly as possible a straight line from Landon to the Land's End. 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 Redwln, Marlborough, Devizes, the manufacturing dis trict or. Trowbridge (from which a diverging line will be carried by Bradford direct to Bath), Westbury, FrOlrie, Shepton Mallet, Wells (from which another diverging lino will bo taken to Bridgewater), Glastonbury to Taunton, being shorter by about thirty-two Mlles than any existing railways between these points, and without a tunnel. From Taunton . the Bristol and Exeter Railway (now leased to the Great Western) is traversed to Tiverton, whence it is proDos&l to carry this line direct to the Land's End , Falmouth, St. Ives, and Penzance, being shorter by about sixty mi les t h an the lately proposed line by way of Plymouth, and effe ctin g , in the w hole Ilistance from London to Falmouth, a saving of about ninety miles.

This Company was constituted on the 28th of August, 1848, according to an Acte de Societe . , passed before AI Baudier, Notary at Paris. Its object is the construction of one or the most important lines of railroad hitherto projected in France, and perhaps on the whole continent. A reference to the map will make it sufficiently apparent that, although short in Itself, this line will connect, by means of the Paris and Lyons, and other French railroads, the Atlantic and Mediterranean; as well as France, England, Belgium, and Holland with Switzerland A - - The length of the line is 120 kilometres, or 76 English miles; it bran , hes off from the Great Paris and Lyons Railroad at Macon, situated half way between Chalons-sur-Sayone and Lyons, at a dis tance of about 70 kilometres, or 27 English miles from each of those places, and passes through Bourg, the principal town of the depart ment De I'Aain, and by Nantua to Geneva. It had been originally intended to select either Lyons or Chalons sur-Saone as the starthtg•polnt on the western extremity, but Macon has been ultimately adopted, as the only one likely to provide the desired accommodation for the traffic, both from the north and south, so that no apprehension need be entertained of any opposition line being started from either of the above points. The Connell of the city of Geneva has lately caused the different projects for connecting its territory with the Paris and Lyons Rail road to be carefully examined, and has given its decision in favour of the Macon line ; it has moreover been universally approved of by the highest authorities in France, as being the shortest and most economical, and the one answering the wants and requirements of all parties. It is needless to speak of the immense number of !nutters con tinually pouring Into Switzerland, which are increasing annually, and which, no doubt, will be doubled when railway accommodation is provided for them, and when this road, as it must, becomes the main road to Italy and the East. It may, therefore, be safely as sumed that the passenger traffic will be more considerable then on any other line in France. With regard to merchandise, the following brief statements will denvmstrate its importance. From correct statistical reports, it appears that the lin2orts during the last year from France into Geneva amounted tO -13,269,188 kilogr. merchandise 2,439,000 litres of liquids, and 4,172,000 litres of grain and the exports to -7 5,654,522 kilogr. merchandise The former consists principally of corn, wines, oil, salt, iron, soap, glass, yarns, cotton, manufactured and colonial goods ; and the latter of wood, cattle, cheese, produce of the mountain soil, and the nume rous articles of Geneva industry. Besides the increase which the facilities of railway transit will, as In all cases, naturally produce upon the commercial intercourse between France and Switzerland, it may also be considered that the 60,000 bales of cotton which are annually imported into Switzerland via Trieste, or from Liverpool up the Rhine, must in future pass through Marseilles, up the Rhone and Saone, to Macon ; that the produce of Italy will take the same route; that Swedish irons, which now reach Geneva by an expen sive land journey through Metz, will be conveyed, with consider. able economy, by the French canals and the river Saone, to Macon. This line therefore will have the advantage of advantage of adding to its own, a new and most important traffic, withdrawn from oilier chrumels of c•immunication. Without entering into further details, which it would not be deemed prudent to publish at the present moment, the facts which have been stated will be amply sufficient to show the Immense advantages of this railway, which Is held in the highest estimation by capitalists and parties Interested in railway matters, both in France and Swit zerland, and supported by the most influential proprietors of the dis tricts traversed, as well as the local au' horities. Negotiations are pearling, and likely to he brought to successful issue, between this Company and the Swiss Government, with regard to an extension of this line to Lansanne and Yverdun, which will connect them with the remainder of Switzerland and Germany ; and should this important concession be gained, a preference in the allot ment of shares will, of course, be given to shareholders in this Company. The capital of the Company has been fixed at 60 ,000,000 of francs (or 2,400,0001.), of which 25,000,000 francs (or 1 , 00 0,000/.), are to be subscribed for in England. The Engash capital is divided into 50,000 shares,of 201. each, upon which a deposit of 2'. is to be paid on allotment. One month's pre vious notice will be given of all subsequent instalments, which are not to exceed 21. each. In case a lease of the line shall not be granted to this Company, the deposits will brt paid back without deduction, but without interest. The English Provisional Directors will be responsible only for the deposits paid in Great Britain,and the French Provisional Directors only for those paid in France. By the statutes of the Company, all powers necessary for its due government, and the protection of the interests committed to their care, are given to the Directors ; and the act of subscribing the Ap plication for Shares is, in itself, an acquiescence in such Statutes on the part of the Subscribers. The Company will be constituted a Societe Anonyme, according to the laws of France, by which it will be governed ; the responsibi lity of the Subscribers being thereby limited to the amount of their respective subscriptions. The liability of the original Subscribeas will extend only to five-tenths of the amount of their subscriptions ; and when that proportion is paid up, the shares will be legally transferable, and the original Subscribers discharged from further liability. The Shares will bear interest at the rate of four per cent. per annum (in lieu of dividend) on the amount paid up, from the date of the Royal Ordonnance of concession, until the opening of the whole line. After the opening of the line, a sufficient amount will first be retained out of the net profits of the Company as a sinking fund, and, after allowing an interest of five per cent. on the Shares, the surplus will be divided in the following manner :-18-20the among the Shareholders, and 2-20ths to the Directors. The Provisional Directors are invested with full powers to treat with the Government for a lease of the Railway, upon such terms as they, in their discretion, shall consider beneficial to the Company; to tender for ouch lease either by public or private contract ; tb fix the conditions and duration thereof; to sign and deposit the same ; to effect and regulate the deposit of the caution•money ; and to bind the Comany to the performance of the terms and conditions imposed by the Cahler des Charges; and to approve and sign the A c t e d e S oc ie t e , and all other necessary documents; to make any treaty, ar rangement, or coalition with shares ; to alter or dissolve the Comany, due regar d b e i ng had to the ot i r Companies, and to reduce proportio na t e l y t h e number of Interest of the shareholders ; and generally to take such measures as they may deem expedient and may require, in order to secure the con cession of the line upon the favourable terms.

As to the traffic on the lower portion of the line, it is evident that the vast number of merchant vessels continually detained In the Channel by adverse winds, would effect an immense saving both in insurance and time, by discharging their cargoes at Falmouth, and at once transmitting them to their destination by means of this railway; and therefore—without speculating on the extent to which the ports on either side of the great promontory of the Land's End may, by moans of this railroad, attract the commeree respectively of Bristol and Southampton ; to what extent the inexhaustible mineral wealth of Cornwall, and the unrivalled agricultural resources of Devonshire may be further developed, or the genial climate of Penzance and Mount's Bay, " the Montpellier of England," attract a larger propor tion of winter visitants—it is obvious that this line will command a teethe both in goods and passengers, from its western terminus, the amount of which may be said to be without limit. A glance at the map will make it manliest that no competing trunk line can ever be established between Tiverton and the Land's End. As between Taunton and Reading, an inspection of the map will show a vast ex teat of midland distri4, comprising, rich and populous parts of So mersetshire, Dorsetshire, and Wiltshire, now altogether destitute of railroad accommodation. Recurring to the features of this project as a national work, one of the greatest in point of magnitude, of vital importance In the event of war, and of almost incalculable advantage to the general and packet commerce of the kingdom; it may not be out of place to quote here the following expressions of Sir Robert Peel. Speaking of the project of a direct line from London to L' pawl through the Trent 'Valley, ellp t which bore much the .same relao the Birmingham and Grand Junction that this bears to the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways, he is reported to have said :—" I consider that the com munication between the Metropolis and the great outports to be not a question of hours, but a question 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, Somerset, and Weymouth line, which was promoted by the Great Western Railway Company, it was stated that that Company had been required to pledge itself not hereafter to oppose a direct line to Falmouth ; and it may be further observed, that a proposed line from Plymouth to Falmouth wak i llast session rejected, on the ground that it might be supposed to interfere with that great national object. The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, and em rre .t estimates of the expenditure and returns are in a state of for t, I rthm and the whole will be ready for the next session of Par- It is sufficient, as to these points, here to state that there are no engineering difficulties 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.

The present Company has been formed for the construction of a line of railway from Madrid to the city - and port of Valencia, the m.,st central seaport on the Mediterranean. It will open out the re sources of an extensive district of country, eastward from the capital, remarkable for the richness and fertility of its soil, the varied abun dance of its production% and the commercial spirit of its inhabitants. This railway is authorised by a special ordinance of her Majesty the Queen of Spain ; and from its vast importance as a national route of intercommunication her Majesty has been pleased to accompany the grant, with all the privileges and immunities which the Crown is empowered to confer upon a railway company. Amongst these may be enumerated 1. A lease of the line and of its branches for 99 years. 2. The gratuitous grant of such Government and corporation lands aNalaY be required for the railway. 3: . -Tne free use of all timber, the property of the State, that may be necessary for the works, or for other purposes. 4. The exemption for ten years, to be computed from the com mencement of the works, of all import duties on the mach nary, rails, and other articles requisite for the completion of the railway. .5. The entire exemption from all national and local taxes that could otherwise be levied upon the railway, works, or b u ildi ngs o f any description, and upon the capital represented by the shares. 6. The Government is not to interfere with the Company's tariff of charges for the space of forty years from the co npletion of the works ; and no revision thereof is to take place on the expiration of that period that can sink the profits below 15 per cent. 7. The line Is to be classed, by a special law, under the title of a " work of public utility," and as such to enjoy the royal patronage and protection, arid all the peculiar privileges attached to important national undertakings. • _ _ The proposed line, thus largely endoWed, is about 240 miles in length, being upwards of 150 miles nearer the capital than the ports of Cadiz and the north coast of Spain, and genetally nearer than any other port in the kingdom. Although it has not yet been minutely surve ed, it is well known that there is no similar district of equal extent in the kingdom which presents so few engineering difficulties For upwards of 80 miles the line will traverse the almost level plain of Valencia ; and emerging from the boundaries of the province, it will follow as nearly as possible the course of the rivers which flow east and west from the central plateau in the province of Cuenca, and approach Madrid by the valley of the Marizanares. The line will either pass through or accommodate the most important towns In the two provinces, which will thus be brought into rapid com munication with the capital on ths one side, a seaport on the other. This railway will be the means of supplying Madrid, containing 300,000 inhabitants, entirely dependent for provisions upon the con tiguous provinces, at a cheap rate, with the rich products of the pro vinces of Valencia, which abounds in most valuable mines, and is beyond comparison the most fertile district of Spain. Valencia, brought by this communication within ten hours' dis tance of tile chief market of Spain, must necessarily become the port at which all vessels with supplies for the metropolis will unload, and the centre of the coasting trade along the whole sea-line from Barcelona to Gibraltar. The traffic in passengers and goods now existing' between Madrid and Valencia has been correctly ascertained, showing tile following results : The annual number of passengers travelling between Madrid and Valencia, and the intermediate towns, is upwards of 42,000 ; but taking that number at the present cost of conveyance by stage coaches, private carriages, galeras, and waggons, the amount will be £67,800 The annual weight of goods conveyed between the two , . cities and the intermediate localities is 4,900,000 cwt., from which the return is estimated at .. . • 1,223,400 £1,291,200 Assum!ng that two•flfths only of the existing charges become a source of revenue to the railway, and that the tariff be reduced considerably below the State tariff of Belgium, there will be deducted .. 752,320 Remains • • • • X 538,880 Supposing that the present traffic will only be doubled by the railway, although experience has proved the increase to be equal to 300 and 400 per cent., there will be added .. .. • • • • • • • • 538,840 And add £1,077,760 For the transport of troops, military stores, &c. 4 which the Government will substitute for the conveyance by waggons .. 50,000 25 per Cent., at the least, for the Ailcant traffic 215,952 From which deduct nearly 50 per cent. for maintenance £1,343,712 of Way, &c... .. • • • . • . • • 671,856 Leaving a net profit of Or of nearly 28 per cent upon the capital. The capital now proposed to be raised has been estimated, by competent, author ity, to be amply sufficient for the completion of the railway, Including stations, a double line for rails, and the working plant. • • • • 4671,856 The royal ordinance authorises the erection of an electric tele graph along the line, which will answer the double purpose of placing the railway under the special protection of the Government, and closely uniting it with all the railways that Intersect the kingdom and have their common termini In Madrid, to which capital maritime and mercantile information from the Mediterranean can be Instan taneously communicated. One-third of the shares are, by the terms of the concession, con ceded to Spain. The locale of the Company will be in Spain, and it will be framed on the principle of a compania anonima, agreeably to the commercial code of that country. The affairs of the Company will be conducted by a Board of Di rectors in London, assisted by a highly influential Committee in Madrid. The remuneration to the Directors will be made in ae eordance with the plan usually adopted in continental railways, and that to the Concessionaires consists of a mere contingent interest in two-twentieths of net profits, after five per cent. shall have been se cured to the shareholders. A deposit of 21. per share is payable on allotment, and no fhture call will exceed 21. per share, of which two months' notice at least will be given.

This railway will connect the important and hitherto neglected town of Barnet with the London and Birmingham and the Great Western Railways, at or near Holsdon-green ; with the Northern and Eastern and the Eastern Counties Railway, at or near Totten ham ; and the proposed Direct London and Manchester, and the Lon don and York Railways. — The line, in its course, will unite the town of Barnet with Whet stone, Totteridge, Highwood Hill, Mill Bill, Finchley, Holder's Hill, Hendon, Burrows, Golder's Hill, Gutterhedge, Kingsbury, Neesdon, Wilsdon, Wilsdon Green. Holsdon Green, Kensall Green, Westbourne Green, Maida Hill, Kilburn, Hampstead, West End, Highgate, Crouch End, Hornsey, Muswell Hill, West Green, Tottenham, Edmonton, Chinford, Stratford Hill, Stoke Newington, Newington Green, Clap ton, Highbury, Holloway, Kingsland, Layton, Stratford, West Ham, Bow, Bro:nley, Bethnal Green, Limehouse, Buxton, Homerton, Hackney, Shacklewell, Daiston, Islington, St. Pancras, Shoreditch, Blackwall, Euston-square, Paddington, Kensington, Hammersmith, Brompton, Fulham, Chelsea, &c. ; connecting those places with the various railways named, and all those south of the river Thames. The distance from the town of Barnet to the station of the London and Birmingham Railway, at Euston-square, by this route, will be 15 miles. The length of the main line, from the point of junction at Totten ham to the London and Birmingham Railway, will be 11 miles ; and the length of the branch line to Barnet, will be 4% miles. From the Junction wills the Birmingham Railway to Chipping B trnet, 9% miles ; from the Decoy (near Brent-street, Hendon), on the proposed Barnet and North Metropolitan Juktion Railway, to the Northern and Eastern Counties Railway, by Stamford-hill, 6% miles There are no engineering difficulties throughout the entire distance. The line will proceed beyond the range of the Highgate and Hamp stead Hills, and the branch from the main line to Barnet will follow the valley of the river Brent to the intended station at Barnet ; thus the expense of construction will be less than any other metropolitan line of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pass through an agricultural-district, avoiding all ornamental property and large collections of houses and buildings. Upon the completion of this railway, a large and daily-increasing population, resident beyond the limits of the metropolitan omnibuses, will be largely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto affording an inadequate return to their cultivators, will be quad rupled in value. The ancient, populous, and once-flourishing town of Barnet, too, will now have a railway communication of its own, without depend ing upon the caprice or uncertain goodnature of any company who may hold out a prospect of a branch, in future times, from some of the trunk lines now contemplated. An ample return of profit to the Investments of shareholders. may be safely anticipated, and will arise lion the following sources, amongst others : 1. From the conveyance of passengert 2. From the carriage of goods and merchandise from the City and Docks, &c., to the several railways which are intersected by this line, avoiding the delay and excessive cost of conveyance through Londonyalso.from the conveyance of cattle, &e.,. more particularly during the period of the large Barnet fairs • . . id. - Froni the eenreyanti of seal, both inland and staborne fuel, •Y ,le and other commodities of general consumption, the e e of which has long been felt by all classes as a m o,.t ricer The Committee of Alanagement rest rve to thenr-eiv st „„041! of adopting, upon this line, locomotive power, or Presse "- guide and safety wheels, as may be deemed expedient. 0010 Applications for Shares in the form annexed (and of ibecco" cations from persons desirous of promoting the ebiect s . o ii i parry ), may be addressed to tie Secretary, at the Provisio thievpist of the Company, 59, New,nan-street, Oxford-street ;t°do.
